241. Forge Meteor
"Enemies of Fellow Companions"
This tag buff that was applied for Xia Zuo killing the orcs will provide Nebet with location information, and will be sensed when Xia Zuo approaches him or moves away from him, even if he crouches and sneaks.
However, the buff is currently gray, because Xia Zuo used a prop from the backpack that can temporarily make it ineffective, and in the lower right corner of the gray icon, there is a five-minute countdown, and when the countdown is completed, the shield will be invalid.
But five minutes was enough for Xia Zuo, as long as he looked at the horizon, he instantly went to the point as far as his eye could see. Of course, he can also run all the time, but he is worried that when he stops at will, he will stay on the water or on a tree branch, because his reflexes are too difficult to see the surrounding road conditions, so it is safer to run there and stop when he looks at a safe place.
Long Ge was arranged to stay in the refuge of the watchful moon and wait for Xia Zuo to return, and by the way, she could also watch out for the enemy, which she was obviously not very happy about.
In less than ten seconds, Xia Zuo walked and stopped, followed the direction that Lady Jianwu said, came to the vicinity of the Vermilion Royal Capital, and looked down on the hill at the city "Silver Scarlet", which has a grandeur different from Zebel, the top of the city wall, the dwellings, and the king's castle are all paved with red tiles, shining in the sunlight.
The next second after Xia Zuo finished sighing, he moved from the hill to the top of one of the sentry towers in the city wall, there was a sentry in the shed under his feet, he was completely unaware that there was someone above his head, when Xia Zuo completely squatted, the sound of walking footsteps would not reach the sentry's ears, as long as the sentry did not witness him.
Speaking of sightings, the patrols on the far wall around the city seemed to see a black dot on the top of the watchtower, moving... Figure? He leaned his halberd against the corner, rubbed his eyes with both hands, and when he opened it again, he saw nothing.
"Is it too long?" He said to himself worriedly, touching his head to make sure he didn't have a fever.
In an instant, Xia Zuo had already arrived at the wall of the palace, just behind the guards, crouching, silent.
Having been in and out of the castle belonging to the king or emperor hundreds of times in the game, Xia Zuo felt that with his eyes closed, he could find the place where the king often stayed, the throne hall, the garden, or the dormitory.
The court mage Nebet, was striding down the palace corridor, the road leading to the place where the weapons were stored, he had just asked the soldier that he had learned that the shadow was staying by his brother's side at the moment, and it was obviously such an emergency, but he couldn't find anyone.
With a clang, Nebet pushed open the door, and saw the armory brightly lit, and the shadow was leaning against the shelves where the weapons were kept, chatting with his younger brother who was directing several craftsmen to strike iron and other forging processes.
The arsenal was windowless on all sides, and the door was heavily guarded, so that the forging process would not be seen by idle people, and only a ventilated opening was left in the top of the house.
The one in charge of directing the craftsmen to forge was a thirteen-year-old dwarf, who was a little lower than the Terrans of his age.
The dwarve's name is Meteor, and he has brownish-red hair, and he may have grown a thick beard like other dwarves when he was older, but not now.
The Meteorite and the Shadow do not look like each other at all, and judging from the upper half of the Shadow's face, it can be said that they are not the same race at all. Nebet wonders why Shadow sees him as his brother, and Shadow says that Meteor's father saved him, and that Shadow took on the responsibility of caring for Meteor after his father's death.
"Shadow!" Nebet called out and hurried forward, "I need your help. β
"What's wrong?" The slightly crooked corners of Shadow's eyes indicated that he was smiling, but when he looked at Nebet, his expression sank again, "Didn't you say that you were going to make a well-thought-out plan and then let Judd and I go to find the bastard's new guard?" β
"Here's the problem!" Nebet arrived at the table and slammed the table, causing the unfamiliar parts on the table to fall and disrupt the order, "I can't feel him anymore!" β
The meteorite panicked, and immediately pressed the small iron balls and steel pipes rolling on the table, for fear that they would fall to the ground.
His head also revealed a purple slave curse around his neck, the owner of which belonged to His Majesty the King, and Nebet had guessed that this was the reason why Shadow had worked for the kingdom, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Can't feel it?" The shadow frowned, and his tone was regretful, "What kind of positioning magic of yours, is something wrong?" I thought you were a curse-wielding man who wouldn't miss. β
"I never miss a beat!" He was indignant and waved his veto, "Something must have gone wrong... That guy used some kind of magic to circumvent my senses? Brooks, who was obviously killed, had a mark curse on him. β
"You fled back today, isn't it a miss?" The shadow poured a basin of cold water on him, but seeing that he was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything more.
β... That guy must be trying to slip away, quick, shadow, you're moving the fastest, and set off at once, to the last spot I detected. As he spoke, Nebet took out a map from his bag and unfolded it on the table, the map was full of small circles and numbers marked - according to the order in which Xia Zuo moved his position, Nebet pointed to 5, "Go here, the mountains in the south, this is the last place I perceive, pray that he won't run far..."
"Ahh β
"What's that?" Nebet looked at Meteor in displeasure and said that because Shadow didn't pay attention to the map, he looked at his brother worriedly to pick up something.
"This is my new weapon! The lethality is very strong, and if it is used by ordinary people who have no talent for learning magic, it is possible to defeat those who can do magic! Meteorite excitedly said that he was a very talented child, and he would be enslaved by the king to develop weapons in the palace, and he was introverted by nature, and Nebet had never seen him defend his things so much.
"Hmph, ridiculous, a pair of broken copper and iron, and arrogantly think that ordinary people can defeat magicians? What else does the kingdom value for magicians and gifted people? Your Majesty shouldn't waste your time on what you're doing. β
As soon as Nebet's words fell, the shadow unhappily took out a small device from his back, which was a new weapon developed by Meteorite, which resembled a bow and crossbow but had no bow and strings, and the front end was a steel pipe opening, just like the steel pipe parts placed on the table.
"Look!" The shadow slaughtered. A click of the trigger drives the end of the device to graze a flint-and-flint-like pebble, causing the spark to detonate the explosives in the tube.
Bangββ!
Flames and smoke erupted through the opening of the pipe, and the explosives propelled small iron balls out, grazing Nebet's cheeks and bleeding down.
β¦β¦
After the smoke of gunpowder, there was silence, and all the craftsmen were terrified and stopped what they were doing.
Nebet shuddered slightly, and looked back, and what had just shot out of the device had finally shattered the floor! Let the thick floor tiles break in half with a collision point in the center...
