Act II Night (I)

At night, a bonfire is lit and a blinding fire is lit on randomly picked sticks. A little spark jumped out of the campfire, making a 'clatter' sound. By the campfire, Ives ate the dry bread that had just been soaked softly, took a sip of water, and looked up at the bright galaxy.

The stars here were completely different from the star map in his memory, after all, these were two completely different worlds. The basic backgrounds of these two worlds are very different, and the stars are not another planet light years away, but the embodiment of a god high above. This world is home to true gods who hold up their thrones and sit in the midst of their kingdom. Their fire is not quenched, and they are immortal.

"Immortal,......" Ives sighed, finishing the bread in his hand. In fact, it is difficult for this world to want to live forever, but it is not impossible. The easiest way to do this is to become a Lich, and once you're a Lich, you'll basically have to count your lifespan in 'millennia'. But in fact, the lich still has an end to its life, and when time passes, you will slowly forget your original self, forget the obsession of becoming a lich, and finally become a wandering ghost who forgets who you are, and finally dissipates in the light of the sun...... And if you want to say that you are truly immortal, maybe only the gods who sit on the throne of the sky, right?

Just as Avis continued to eat the dry food, he suddenly heard something noise. Avis immediately stood up, pulled out a crossbow from behind him, and placed it in his hand. He leaned down slightly and stepped back. He didn't extinguish the campfire, because he was almost certain that the guys had noticed. All he could do was retreat into the dark space when the guys were attracted by the light of the campfire.

In the dark wilderness. It's a terrible thing to meet outsiders, because it doesn't take much thought to know that these guys aren't going to come and say good evening to you.

Avis's hand touched his waist, and the dagger and scepter were in the best position. The arachnia ring on his finger was also ready to send out a cobweb to imprison the person in front of him. Although most of the magic equipment has the ability to be immune to arachnids, Ives knew that his luck would not be so bad that he would meet the wrong guest with a magic item so lightly.

Behind him was a cold tree, and Avis didn't just glance back and forth around the bright campfire in front of him, he also paid attention to the darkness around him. Soon, some light footsteps reached his ears. Avis took a deep breath and subconsciously clenched the crossbow in his hand.

It was the sound of footsteps on soft fallen leaves, and although it was slight, it still couldn't escape Avis's attention. Although Avis's perception is only a pitiful 12 points, he is a half-elf after all, and both half-elves and elves tend to have the ability to see in the dark. So the darkness couldn't stop Avis's vision, and he still saw the people walking in the darkness clearly.

These people were wearing brown leather armor, and the edges of the leather armor were really worn. They had a weapon, either a sword or a scimitar, pinned to their waists. There were probably between five or six of them, and they were all cautious enough, but there didn't seem to be any thieves in their ranks. Ives took a deep breath, but didn't rush out. He knew that this was just a façade, how could there be no thieves in a team? Then the thief is clearly hidden. Seeing that these people were systematically approaching his camp, Aavis knew that he was being targeted.

But...... Why are you being targeted? Are these people motivated by wealth, or are they for some other reason? Avis bit his lower lip, not knowing where his enemies were coming from.

Soon, Ives found the thief. His gaze scanned back and forth in the dark forest, eventually focusing on the treetops on the side. There, a figure was cautiously watching where the campfire was shining......

Well, it's him who wants to target. Avis closed his eyes and began to prepare for the magic.

"Hey, head, there's no one here!"

A voice came into Avis's ears, it was a somewhat shrill voice, but Aives could confirm that he didn't have the voice of the person in his memory. It seems that they are not acquaintances of Avis. So...... Is it someone else who entrusts them to come here to kill themselves, or is it just some mercenary who makes a temporary cameo appearance as a bandit?

"Where did that kid go?" A man who seemed to be a leader grinned. He was wearing a passable iron armor, although it was a little rusty and slightly ill-fitting, but this iron armor also gave him a lot of protection. Avis's gaze scanned back and forth over him, and finally confirmed that this guy's strength was probably between level three and four.

He smiled slightly wryly - Avis was just a first-level mage now.

Ives was only at the first level at this time, and he naturally hadn't learned the high-skill ability of Spell Silence, so he could only lower his voice to recite magic. At this time, the night was a little quiet, and the sound of summer insects could be heard in my ears. Avis's voice as he chanted the incantation was soft, but it wasn't for nothing. The iron-clad man who was searching around the campfire suddenly sensed something, and he just raised his head and locked on to Avis's position.

"That kid is there!"

Seeing that his position was revealed, Avis stood up, and with a stroke of blindness he came out of his hand and flew towards the thief who was above the treetops.

Blindness is a fairly classic part of magic, and one of the most mages that is required to learn. It works in that it can directly blind a person. The thief standing in the treetop suddenly lost sight, and could not help crying out in panic, and then he tried to run away very irrationally, but he fell from the tree, and for a moment he could not move.

"Blind hits the target, immunity hits...... The target gains 'blindness' status. The voice that only Avis could hear rang in his ears.

The ironclad man scolded. He had wanted the thief to stand on a high vantage point and watch the whole scene, and if necessary, he could use his poisonous crossbow bolts to deal with the slippery boy in front of him. But now their killer feature has been scrapped......

Ives immediately stood up and ran to the side, his light crossbow in his hand, but the crosshair shook as he ran, making it difficult for Ives to target those who were also running. Avis grinned, and secretly asked if he was going to work part-time as a melee profession in the future. Pure mages are too much to lose in battle.

Ives finally fired two arrows, but neither of them hit the target directly, only to make the guys chase after him even more angrily. With a slight sigh at the end, Avis raised his right hand, and soon the ring on his index finger began to glow with a ghostly glow. Aavis stopped running and stood still. Avis's gaze fell on the people who were constantly running, and finally, a smile appeared on his lips.

These guys...... The location is fantastic. They were standing in a fan, and Ives barely had to calculate before he could think of a way to tie them all down. With just a slight chanting of the incantation, Avis unleashed the 'spider web' stored in his ring. White cobwebs spread in front of Avis, quickly restraining the fellows. Avis let out a breath, and without any panic, he took out the light crossbow from behind him, and skillfully reloaded the crossbow with arrows.

The bandits who were restrained in front of Avis finally panicked, and they tried hard to break free from the cobwebs, but in the end they failed, and they could only stand still. They suddenly cursed, but after Ives picked up a crossbow and shot a robber, the rest of the group was quiet.

"Now, then, you can sue me......" Ives took aim at a poor robber again, "Who hired you to kill me?" ”

"I don't know...... I don't know......" said the bandit leader, and one of his companions was shot to death. The bandit leader's whole body is bound by cobwebs, and he can't do it either if he wants to escape or desperately. His heart was filled with resentment towards those who gave him orders. Doesn't it mean that their target is just a first-level magician? How can it be so difficult! The bandit leader finally remembered a well-known proverb in Ellen Thea 6 - never underestimate a magician, because you never know what other cards he has.

"Click......" Avis continued to load, and then aimed at another person, "Are you clearer now, huh?" Remember who it is? ”

"I really don't know about taking the oath in the name of Acquido!" "A man in black found me, and he gave me a bag of gold and told me that I was going to come here to kill a mage......," cried out. He didn't say anything else! I don't know who he is, after all, if I inquire more about this kind of thing, maybe I'll be the next to die! ”

Avis looked at the bandit leader quietly for a moment, then sighed slightly, and just as he was about to put a little more pressure on the bandit leader, a strange sound suddenly caught in his ears.

"Da Da Da ......"

Ives immediately turned around, and the regular sound was clearly a knight on horseback!

(※: Acquido, the god of war.) ）
