Chapter 1007: The City of Roses (6)
- Boom!
There was a thunderclap, followed by a large area of dark clouds that began to gather, and soon a thick rain cloud was formed, and the heavy rain could pour down.
The environment of the tropical rainforest climate will not be strange when it rains at any time, and the Imperial Army has been stationed in the Rose Capital for almost a month, and has seen the strange climate here for a long time, and no one has any doubts about the sudden rain.
All they could do was to beckon the pilot of the magic guide mech to move the mech under the canopy, although the magic guide mech is not afraid of water, but it still needs to be cleaned after the rain, otherwise it will rust.
The guards basically did not change places, and they took out their umbrellas as usual, and continued to stand guard in the torrential rain.
But the heavy rain curtain still obscured the vision a little, especially in the distance. At a distance they didn't see, four figures quickly passed through the alley and came to the side of the palace.
The weather control is a B-level spell, Beverly is not that strong, she uses a C-level weather guide, and thanks to the weather in the Rose Capital, it is not difficult to guide the rain clouds to gather, and it does not emit too strong magic fluctuations.
Ann wiped the rain from her face with one finger and found the patched wall.
The natives of the Rose City repaired the broken walls by sealing the holes with mud bricks and then painting them with mud to fix them, which of course was not very strong.
An Yizhi stretched out his hand and pressed on it, activating the knight not to die with his bare hands, this skill has been played by him as a professional wall-tearing skill.
With a faint flash of light, the hole that had apparently been repaired later was reopened, and the dirt was scattered and washed away by the rain.
The four of them hurriedly followed the opening of the big hole and got in.
On the other side of the wall, it looks like a reception room, surrounded by rattan sofas and coffee tables, and when you activate the Light Dance, you can see the scars left by the fall of the Rose Capital, scattered with dark blood and slashing marks.
An Yi took out the magic guide wand with one finger, and knocked it lightly on the ground, and the beautiful practice formation under his feet lit up, and the hole they came in was also quickly reset under the effect of alchemy, which could more or less delay the time for them to be discovered.
"Which way are we going now?"
Using a magic trick to dry the water stains on her body, Ann asked Beverly with a point.
Seeing the blood, Beverly's face was a little pale, but this girl was quite strong and didn't show much performance.
As for the players?
They are used to watching it, not to mention that the world of the brave has never played a mosaic of blood, everyone is an adult, who hasn't been baptized by a B-grade movie of blood hula? This is just a small matter.
Taking a deep breath to calm her mind, Beverly said:
"Go out to the left, and then go all the way down the corridor, the environment of the palace is not complicated, but it is possible to bump into the Imperial patrols."
As mentioned earlier, the palace was not the creation of the local natives, who simply moved into the city.
The so-called royal palace was not a royal palace in the original design of the ancient elves, although it is not clear what it is for the time being, but the route inside is not complicated.
Beverly has been here because the king of the Rose City is very talkative, as long as it is not from the Empire, it is not difficult to meet the king, and there are no feudal rules in the royal palace that allow residents to come in and visit.
Of course, the ruins of the Ancient Elves will definitely not allow anyone to enter.
An Yi pointed back to look at Apple Tea, who understood, quietly pushed open the wooden door of the reception room and looked around, and then waved to everyone to follow.
Leaving the reception room, there were torches inserted in the wall in the corridor outside to provide the most basic lighting, and An Yizhi also took advantage of the situation to cancel the effect of the light dance.
Hela looked at the patterns on the ceiling, and she said that there were originally illumination runes left by the ancient elves, but they had all fallen apart in time.
The corridor is not wide, except for the torches, you can occasionally see a room, in this case, there is 100% nowhere to hide when encountering patrols, and An Yizhi is also ready to break in.
But it turned out that they didn't run into anyone along the way, which was a bit of a waste of feelings.
But it was clear that they couldn't never go without touching the guards.
Now the four of them were clinging to the wall, Apple Tea quietly showed its head, looked through the doorway and looked inside, and then he turned to An Yi beside him and gestured to '2', indicating that there were two guards inside.
An swiped his thumb on his neck, Apple Tea nodded, and then his body melted into the air.
It didn't take long for An to hear a suppressed scream from inside, and at the same time, he quickly stood in the middle of the doorway, raising the pendant on his chest:
"Petrified Ray!"
The dark green rays hit the guard directly, and he was very simply turned into a stone statue from head to toe, and at this time, Appletea also completely killed the other guard, and carefully put his body down.
Red entered the door after them, a stone statue in one hand and a corpse in the other, dragging them into the shadows, and finding a flag that had fallen to the ground to cover them.
"Is it useful to cover up the body?"
The only one who would ask this question was Beverly, who was really adventurous for the first time.
"It's not very useful, but it's better than nothing."
Indeed, this is a bit of luck.
If there are patrols patrolling the various outposts on the Imperial side, it will not take long to be discovered, but if they use the method of regular shifts, the time to be detected will be much longer.
Ann replied casually, then looked at the flag that Red used to cover the corpse.
It was supposed to be a decoration hanging in the hallway, with a ...... painted on it. Uh, it's supposed to be roses and thorns, right?
To be honest, An Yizhi is not very sure, because this painting is too abstract, and to put it bluntly, it is too ugly.
The level of painting in Lao Tzu Primary School is better than this......
"It's ugly."
"Well, it's ugly indeed."
Appletea and Red feel the same way, with Beverly explaining:
"This flag is said to have been left by the 'shining man' at that time, don't call it ugly in front of the local residents, although it doesn't matter anymore."
The Rose City has been wiped out, of course it doesn't matter, it's really a shame that such an ugly flag dares the people of the Rose Capital to hang it out......
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Hiding the body, the group continued on their way, and after killing several guards in succession as before, they finally came to a slightly different place.
It was supposed to be an interview room, but the double gate was gone, and it was broken when the Imperial army invaded.
Through the wide doorway, you can see that there are many people dressed as scholars who are busy working on a large number of stone tablets with words and patterns written on them, hoping to decipher the words of the ancient elves and find some useful technology.
The lighting was no longer a rudimentary torch, and there was a lighting rune placed later on the ceiling above their heads, and the bright white light illuminated the entire hearing room, making it easier for the scholars to handle the stone slabs, but also for standing in a circle by the wall, and the guards standing guard had everything in view.
And what really needs to be noticed is the thing that is directly facing the gate.
Behind the throne that had fallen to one side, there was a huge stone door that still showed signs of being forcibly blasted open, almost reaching the height of the ceiling, and behind the stone door was a tunnel illuminated by a string of torches, which stretched into the distance to turn around.
There is the entrance to the ruins of the Ancient Elves.
No wonder Beverly said that as long as you are not blind, you can see, and the exit of the ruins of the ancient elves is right behind the throne of the interview room, and there are ghosts if you can't see it.
But the problem is that it is more troublesome for the four of them to sneak in, or unless they will be invisible, it is an impossible task.
The four of them quietly discussed outside for a while, and finally decided.
Or is it a strong attack......
Anyway, the number of guards inside is very small, no more than twenty at most, much less than the number of guards at the gate of the palace, the only thing to pay attention to is those scholars, maybe the scholars are only part-time, and they are mages themselves.
However, even if it is a strong attack, the enemy's advantage in the open and in the dark must be taken advantage of.
An Yizhi quietly stretched out his hand and pointed to the lighting rune on the ceiling of the hearing room from outside the door:
"Spell Strength: Advanced Disarming Magic!"
"What people!"
The fact that you have to be vocal when using skills is detrimental to sneaking action, especially spells.
However, the effect of the high-level disarming magic was not reduced at all, and the lighting rune on the ceiling was shattered almost the moment it was swept by the waves, and the entire interview room was also plunged into darkness in an instant.
"Don't panic! If there is an intruder, use the lighting spell"
The guards also hurriedly took out the preserved fire from their bosoms and tried to light the torches on the walls.
"Wind Making!"
A strong gust of wind that blew unsteadily, not only extinguished the fire of the guards, but also knocked several scholars who tried to use illumination to the ground.
In the darkness, the guards heard four rapid footsteps, and they ran all the way towards the Elder Elves and the entrance in the innermost part of the interview room.
But being able to hear and being able to stop are completely different things, Beverly attached a group dark vision spell to everyone in advance, and the four of them were not affected in any way, but the guards obviously couldn't find people in the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.
At this time, a scholar seemed to have succeeded in activating the Light Technique, which was a small F-rank spell after all.
I saw a bright ball of light slowly drifting from his hand towards a high place, trying to illuminate a larger area, and at this moment, An Yi, who caught the darkness and ran all the way forward, gestured at him:
"Spell Counter!"
The ball of light that had just appeared burst instantly, and at that moment, the guards saw that four figures had run into the entrance of the ancient elven ruins.
At this time, more and more scholars who had been overturned by the wind creation technique got up, and activated various lighting spells to allow those who saw the room to see again, but then they saw a clay giant so huge that it was about to break the ceiling to climb up, it did not attack, but honestly clasped its hands and knees, and sat down at the entrance, the huge size directly blocked the entrance to the ancient elven ruins, and the guards and the scholars of the empire only heard a series of footsteps coming from inside, and then gradually disappeared......
