Chapter 128: The True Eye
Whether or not to go up and debunk this scam is a question worth measuring, first of all, we cannot judge it with subjective will, but analyze rationally, what is the intention of the designer of this task.
Nie Yan inadvertently glanced at his status bar, and there was an additional surname in the status bar, called the introduction of Archon Karen.
Archon Karen's Recommendation: In this referral state, Hildillock's Esteem is +30 for 30 minutes.
Seeing this, Nie Yan was in a state of mind.
Nie Yan thought for a moment, he had the recommendation of Archon Karen, and his status was a surname for thirty minutes, during which his Hildilock City Respect Value reached 37, which was not inferior to ordinary nobles.
If he successfully triggers and completes this quest, he may be able to get some reward, but if he fails, as long as he leaves Hildilocke City within thirty minutes, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Having made up his mind, Nie Yan walked towards the equipment master Ke Xi.
It would be too stupid to rush up and say to these nobles that Ke Xi was actually a liar, and he would definitely be trampled to death by these stupid and arrogant nobles. He's a human, not one of these NPCs programmed by the mastermind.
"Dear Master Koxi, I was introduced here by Archon Karen, and he asked me to convey my sincere respect to you." Nie Yan walked over to Ke Xi and said.
Hearing Nie Yan mention the name of Archon Karen, the nobles immediately did not dare to be presumptuous, and whispered to the side. The consul is a political dignitary, in charge of a place's finance, taxation, military and political power, and public security, and has absolute leadership in the city, at least the title of duke or above, and a few nobles here are only earls at most.
Seeing Nie Yan coming up, they all silently stepped aside.
Ke Xi's triangular eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a more smug expression, and glanced at the many nobles present.
"Thank you Archon Cullen for your concern and love, Mr. Nirvana, would you like to try it too, here are twenty identical Arcas Shining Gems, as long as you find the real one, then this legendary equipment will be yours." Ke said with a slight smile.
Nie Yan glanced at the twenty identical gems densely arranged on the table, as if they were printed in a mold, and they looked very dazzling.
"The master's craftsmanship is truly extraordinary." Nie Yan praised.
Ke Xi smiled slightly, revealing a little arrogance, presumably he was very comfortable with his fake skills.
"These rings are like the real thing. But I think they are flawed, like ice cubes placed next to crystals, which may not be recognizable to the eye, but when the sun shines, the ice melts, and the crystals are still dazzling. Nie Yan pondered, slowly leading Ke Xi into the language trap he had set. NPCs are always NPCs, and the mastermind has set a fixed surname for them, and the way they speak, as long as they explore a little, they can know where their weaknesses are.
Nie Yan stimulated Ke Xi with his words, and sure enough, Ke Xi's expression began to condense, like a layer of frost.
"Mr. Nirvana, then may I ask, which of these twenty gems is real?" Ke asked angrily, he expected that Nie Yan would not be able to find out the real one.
"How about I set up a bet with Master Kexi?"
"What gamble?"
"I can easily find the real shining jewel of Arcas among these twenty gems, and if I lose, I will give this title deed to Master Koshi. But I'm going to have to look at each gem carefully to be sure. Nie Yan said that his purpose was only to expose the scam, and since Ke Xi was a liar, he didn't think Ke Xi would abide by the gambling contract.
"I agree with the bet. If I lose, I'll give you the same amount of gold, how about that? Ke Xi saw the title deed in Nie Yan's hand and showed a greedy look.
Nie Yan roughly figured out the mastermind's setting for Ke Xi, so he made up his mind and set a trap for Ke Xi, and Ke Xi immediately jumped in stupidly.
"Dear Master Kosi, let me take a look at these sparkling gems of Arcas. I trust your credibility and you won't interfere with me, right? ”
Ke Xileng snorted and withdrew some distance.
The nobles gathered about two yards from the table, looking at Nie Yan curiously, watching how Nie Yan had identified the real Arcas sparkling gem.
Nie Yan was sure that he had touched the context of the task, picked up a gem, and observed it, looking like he was in trouble.
"Poor work, the sparkling gem of Arcas has a brilliant and pure light, and the brilliance of this gem is cloudy, this is not really the sparkling gem of Akas. Is that right, Master Kexi? Nie Yan looked at Ke Xidao, he couldn't say one, two, or three to the gem, but he still weaved a task language in passing.
Ke Xileng snorted and turned his head.
"Dear Master Kexi, I have learned to identify the caste of equipment, will you allow me to identify this shining gem of Akas?" Nie Yan asked with a smile.
At this time, many nobles on the stage shouted at the right time, strongly asking Nie Yan to identify this Akass Shining Gem that he didn't know was true or false.
Ke Xijian couldn't reverse the will of these nobles, so he could only be silent.
Nie Yan exerted a super insight into this gem, a white light flashed, and he looked down at the gem's surname.
Counterfeit gemstone (pseudo): No surname.
Nie Yan handed the gem to one of the nobles, and the nobles began to look at it.
"Sure enough, it's fake."
"It's amazing, it's like the real thing, how he sees it."
"Alright, let's move on." Nie Yan smiled slightly, picked up another gem on the table, looked at it pretendedly, and shook his head pretending to regret, "There are subtle flaws in the edges and corners, the sparkling gem is perfect, such a thing is simply blaspheming the sparkling gem." This gem is also a forgery, isn't it, Master Kexi? ”
Under the call of the nobles, Nie Yan performed an identification, and it was still a forged gem.
Nie Yan continued to hand over the gem to the nobles to see, and the nobles let out a whispered discussion.
One gem by one was identified, and Nie Yan had confirmed that none of the twenty gems on this table were real, since this was the case, he just had to make up a random reason to deny the gems in his hand.
There are fewer and fewer gems on the table, eight out of ten, three out of six
All are counterfeit gems!
There were two gems left, and the nobles' eyes widened, and the results were about to come out, and they became more and more nervous, staring closely at the gems on the table.
Nie Yan showed a confident smile, picked up one of them, and when he looked at Ke Xi, his face was already blue with anger.
"There are some impurities in the center of this gem, and its material is not at all the same grade as the sparkling gemstone, so it is also fake!" Nie Yan said calmly and looked at Ke Xi.
Nie Yan picked up the gem and began to identify the gem.
Many nobles stared at Nie Yan's hand tightly, this is already the nineteenth, if this gem is still fake, then the remaining one must be real?
A white light fell on the gemstone, refracting a rainbow of light.
However, there is no doubt that the gem is also a fake.
The nobles let out a low exclamation and expressed their deep admiration for Nie Yan.
Nie Yan picked up the last gem and looked at Ke Xi, at this time Ke Xi's expression was a little panicked, and he gradually slipped towards the door.
"Respected Master Ke Xi, don't you want to repay your debts, do you want to run?" Nie Yan smiled, now he is the winner.
Ke Xi smiled awkwardly, at this time all the nobles were staring at him tightly, and he didn't have a chance to slip away if he wanted to.
"Dear Master Ke Xi, there is only one last gem left here, it should be real, but why is this gem so poorly made, I can be sure that it is also fake!" Nie Yan looked at Ke Xi with a smile, and used his identification skill on the gem in his hand, a white light flashed, and the gem was identified, and it was still a forged gem. Nie Yan looked at Ke Xi with a sneer and said, "So, respected Master Ke Xi, you are a liar!" ”
System: You have identified twenty forged gems and gained the skill True Eye.
When Nie Yan saw this system prompt, he was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be moved, it turned out to be the True Eye skill!
Hearing Nie Yan's words, the nobles were stunned for a long time, as if they couldn't accept this reality.
At this time, Ke Xi and three other middle-aged people ran out of the door.
"Catch them, they're all liars!" Nie Yan pointed to Ke Xi and the other three middle-aged people.
The aristocrats were full of emotion, and they rushed forward one after another, pushing Ke Xi and the other three middle-aged people to the ground.
"We're going to hand this liar over to the Archon for trial!"
"yes, we're going to punish these damn liars and get our money back!"
The nobles shouted and cursed, and grabbed Ke Xi and the other three middle-aged people and walked in the direction of the ruling hall.
Nie Yan thought for a moment and followed, since the mission was here, he exposed Ke Xi, and he would definitely get a reward from Archon Karen. The equipment master Ke Xi that Karen inadvertently talked about, but he didn't expect him to discover this mission and expose Ke Xi's deception.
A crowd of people angrily twisted Ke Xi towards the ruling hall, while Nie Yan followed behind everyone, walking slowly, what he cared about the most was the True Eye skill.
I took a look at the caste of the True Eye.
True Eye: After casting this skill, there is a certain probability of peeping through illusions and invisibility, and the probability is related to the level of both sides. Instantaneous skill with a skill cooldown of 120 seconds.
Fighting against thieves of the same level, if Nie Yan uses the True Eye skill, there is a 60% chance of peeking through the opponent's invisibility. Moreover, some monsters and players can cast illusion clones, which are very confusing, and Nie Yan also has a certain probability of destroying them.
This skill is extremely useful, among the many support skills, it is among the top few, it can greatly restrain the thief class, and it is also very useful when doing tasks.
