The Tavern is a place for adventurers to gather information, but the Tavern is not suitable for collecting information from players - players are not in the habit of drinking and chatting in the Tavern, not to mention that most of the Novice Village is in ruins, and there are no Taverns at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you want to get information from your players, fishing spots near the river are the right choice.

After getting some information about the "special NPC" from casual players, Green wanted to go to the "shadow maze" outside the city to investigate and see who the special NPC that the player called the "red-faced mage" was.

Before he set off, though, Green had to make some preparations.

"I don't know how Mitchell's materials are being gathered." Green touched his chin and glanced at the system time.

Before leaving the temple, Green gives Mitchell a material collection form and asks Mitchell to issue various material collection tasks to the player. The numerical advantage of the players is there, and even if each person helps collect one magic material, it will be enough to help Grimm collect all the materials for a mage tower.

Of course, the only things that can be collected at the moment are "projection items". However, since all the creatures living in this world are creatures with the characteristics of [Lost Son of Time], the gap between "projected items" and "real items" is not too big.

Instead of rushing back to the temple, Green first went to the prop shop to buy a cheap cloak, covered himself with a face scarf, disguised himself as a thief, and then wandered around the streets with an "NPC Protection Aura".

According to Green, the "NPC Protection Aura" is an upgraded version of the player's "Anti-Congestion Aura", so as long as you put on a scarf and control the size of the aura, you can easily blend in with the player.

Because of Michel, the population base of the novice village has skyrocketed a lot.

Suddenly, Green felt a gaze full of malice!

The [Heart Eye] skill makes Green very sensitive to the gaze of others.

After feeling the malice, Green's cold hair stood on end, and he instantly launched an instantaneous slide step!

Green shifted a distance in an instant, then looked in the direction from which the malice had come from.

It was an alley that looked fairly intact, and the houses on both sides of the alley were not too badly damaged. And the alleys are empty......

"See through the invisible!" Green cast a discerning invisibility on himself.

Still haven't seen anyone.

What's going on?

Green looked around. That feeling had just disappeared, and it seemed as if everything was Green's delusion.

If you are an ordinary person, you may think that you are too careful. But Green is very aware of his own skills, and he is also very aware of the effects of the [Heart Eye]. So Green is very sure that this is definitely not a delusion!

But......

"Who would be malicious to me?" Green couldn't help frowning.

Gamer? No, I haven't made a feud with any of the players.

Those hostile NPCs? It can't be either! I didn't feel any sight when I left the temple, and enemy NPCs had no reason to know about my presence.

Green felt a little lost.

Green looked around. Most of the players are concentrated in the resurrection square and the church, and there are very few players on ordinary streets like this.

Green squinted his eyes and didn't enter the alley, but walked straight over, and then Green suddenly hid behind a wall pillar.

"Arcane Eye!" Green covered his eyes and cast a spell.

――――

Arcane Eye: The four-ring prophecy spell. Spawns a magic eye within the field of vision that sends you visual information. The Magic Eye is invisible and can move at a speed of 2 m/s, and must be focused or it will stop moving.

――――

An invisible magic eye appeared in front of Grimm, and then flew down the alley under Grimm's control.

There was no one in the alley.

Green carefully recalled the direction in which his gaze had come from......

"The gaze is not from the ground, but from ...... Slightly higher up. Do you say ......"

The Magic Eye rose to a certain height and began scouting the houses and windows on both sides of the alley.

This newbie village is a projection of the town of Karp when it was first rebuilt after it was destroyed by the Shadow Lord. All the scenery, NPCs, and facilities are exactly the same as they were when Captown was first rebuilt! Even down to the gravel, leaves and dust on the ground.

As a destroyed town in the process of being rebuilt, most of the town is in ruins, but there are still some relatively intact buildings.

For example, the buildings on both sides of the alley in front of you are not ruins, but some relatively well-preserved residential buildings. If Green is not mistaken, most of the residential buildings on both sides are home to "refugee NPCs".

Players will not be able to enter an NPC's home unless they reach a certain level of friendship, but if the previous sight is from the "True Time Fans", these buildings will not only not be an obstacle to him, but will instead become his protection.

In order not to reveal his identity as a "true fan of time", Green did not let the Arcane Eye enter the houses, but only hung around outside the houses.

"Found it!" Green spotted a window with a crack open, and saw an eye.

When Green saw that eye, it seemed to sense something.

The eye glanced at where the magical perceptor was, and it flashed......

Green couldn't see the other party's face clearly, and the only thing he knew for sure was that the other party was wrapped in black cloth.

"It's a thief!" Green looked at the residential building where the window was located, and his pupils shrank slightly, "And this building is inaccessible to players!" ”

Green recalled the information Mitchell had given him, and instantly had a hint of realization.

"It's the Assassin of the Lord of Shadows! He's actually been in ambush in the town, but the player doesn't know it. ”

This kind of street is the most suitable place for the assassin to play, and the mage is simply not able to use his long-range advantage in this kind of place.

Green looked around, thought about it, and decisively put a few layers of protective spells on himself, and then left a magic perception in place, and sprinkled some manifestation powder on the ground. Then she left a Mona to oversee the powder on the ground.

"Mona?" Mona looked at Green blankly.

Green gave Mona a command, then disguised it with illusion and hid it in a corner.

……

After making a circle, Green crept into a ruin across the alley, where he lay in ambush behind a wall.

It was a ruined wall, and if Green stood up, he could see the alley across from above the wall.

Green pulls out his staff from his system backpack and begins to cast a spell......

"Mirror Imagery!"

Green left a mirror image of himself in place, and the mirror image looked like Green was lying in ambush there. As long as the mirror image is not touched, it can exist for a long time.

But that's not enough.

"Trigger Technique, Mirror Technique!" Once again, Green casts a mirror spell that requires certain conditions to trigger.

――――

Trigger: Six-Ring Plastic Spell. Causes a spell that affects an individual and has a ring count that is no higher than the trigger level to trigger under certain conditions.

――――

Green can remotely activate this trigger at any time, causing the mirror image to change. When the spell is activated, the mirror image will change from sitting in an ambush position on the ground to standing up and attacking.

After that, Green arranged a little next to the mirror, leaving Mona, who was in charge of guarding, and then quietly left the wall along the path he had taken before.

Eventually, Green dug a pit not far from the wall and buried himself in the ground, disguised as an ordinary pile of rubble.

Lying inside the trap, Green began to continue his preparations.

"Trigger Spell Otiluk Magic Sealing Orb!"

――――

Otiluk's Magic Sealing Orb: A four-ring plastic spell. A force field ball with a radius of 1 meter around the subject, protecting the creature from any damage, while also trapping him, making the force field unable to move. Can be destroyed by disarming/dissociation/erasing scepter/negation scepter.

――――

At level 10, Green chose [Spell Mastery and Trigger], so Green can now chain up to 4 Ring Spells! Green chained the Orb of Otiluc's Magic Seal with the Trigger, and once he cast the Fireball spell with his staff, the Orb would automatically cast it on himself.

The Magic Seal Orb is a very powerful spell with a high degree of versatility, that is, it can be used to trap enemies, and it can also be used as a small invincibility.

Since the enemy was likely to be a master-level assassin, Green was not very sure that he would be able to defeat the opponent in seconds, so Green used the magic sealing orb as a small invincible at this time to counteract the enemy's counterattack.

When everything was ready, Green closed his eyes and waited quietly for the fish to take the bait......

It's a contest of patience.

An hour passed.

The magical perceptual body that Green had left behind was gone.

Two hours passed.

There is still no response outside.

Four hours passed.

It's starting to get dark.

"The fish have left?" Green looked at the sky and frowned slightly.

No! Keep waiting.

The other party is likely to be an Assassin, and the night is the home of the Assassin. If I were an Assassin, I wouldn't come out until night.

It will take 24 hours for the traps to be refreshed, and I still have time! Even if I guess wrong, it's just a waste of time.

As a fisherman, Green has enough patience and the courage to endure "unbaiting".

Green lay on the ground, took a sandwich from his system pocket, and ate it slowly, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Soon after, night fell......

"Mona !!"

Suddenly! Mona's voice rang out in the alley.

Here it comes!

Green instantly activated the Mirror Imagery trigger.

In an instant, the mirror image that had been sitting on the ground suddenly stood up and assumed a spell-casting pose......

However, at this moment, suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind the mirror image.

Without hesitation, Green stretched out his staff from the pile of rubble: "Multiple Spell Cast, Instantaneous, Fireball Technique!" ”

In an instant, three huge red missiles smashed into Green's mirror image, including the figure at the same time.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Like a nuclear bomb explosion, a small mushroom cloud rises, and the scorching flames turn the earth into glass.

A spherical orb enveloped Green, and the oncoming shockwave and debris made the magic orb crackle.

Green glanced nervously at the system prompt.

Green's fireball level follows the mage level. Now, Green's fireball skill level is as high as level 9, and even the Earth Knight can't withstand such damage! However, this does not rule out the possibility that the opponent has high-level fire resistance equipment.

There are no hints.

The enemy is not dead yet!?

Without hesitation, Green poured a vial of potion into his stomach and then applied a Detection Life to himself.

At the same time, a dagger flew from afar, nailed to the magic orb, and then fell to the ground. The protective effect of the magic sealing magic ball is at the spatial level, in addition to the targeted disarming spells, only the kind of spells that can destroy the space can destroy the magic sealing magic ball.

Immediately afterward, Green saw a figure fleeing in the distance. Seeing the opponent's embarrassment, Green understood that the opponent's resistance was not enough to completely resist the power of his spells.

As long as it's not a complete resistance, that's easy.

Green raised his staff: "Multicast, Fireball!" ”

After a short spell cast, the magic orb that surrounded Green suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, three fireballs shot out......

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

After throwing the fireball, Green took another bottle of potion and quickly put a shield on himself.

"Drop, kill a special creature, Legendary Casting Level +1, Magic Archer Level Increase, Gain Legendary Class: Time Keeper"

Looking at the system prompt, Green finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Is it really a direct reward level? I didn't expect what Mitchell said to be true. ”

Just by killing a target, the gold level will be directly upgraded by one level, is there a faster upgrade speed in the world?

After making sure that he had successfully killed his target, Green looked around.

The movement just now was so big that it seemed to alarm many players.

Green was about to slip away, but just then, Green noticed something golden in the flames......

In an instant, Green understood what had happened.

"The boss is equipped with a bang!?" Green resolutely braved the heat wave, rushed over, and picked up the explosive things.

It's actually a gold-quality boot!

developed.

Green shoved the exploded equipment into the system backpack...... Can't fit in!

"Huh?" Green was stunned for a second, carefully observing the boots in his hand, "This is actually not a projection equipment, but a real treasure?" ”

――――

Boots of Shadows (Epic)

Special Effects: Cause and Effect: Shadow Raid (Remove all control from the body, enter the shadow, and immediately emerge from another shadow.) This behavior is similar to teleporting using the shadow plane, but is not affected by teleportation restrictions such as space anchors/space locks. ）

Effects: Concept and Shadow Companion (Even in worlds that are not connected to the Shadow Plane, you can still activate abilities/spells that require a connection to the Shadow Plane to activate.) ）

Description: Phantom Assassins can only fight in worlds connected to the Shadow Plane, but with the blessing of the Lord of Shadows, Tim is still able to use the Phantom Assassin's abilities even in worlds that are not connected to the Shadow Plane.

――――

Great stuff!

Phantom Assassin's artifact!

But even if there is such an artifact, if there is no shadow under your feet to use, it will be in vain.

Under Green's fireball burst, the amount of fire made it impossible for the Phantom Assassin to find a shadow to exploit.
