Chapter Sixty-Eight: The High Wanderer
Axter ran to the side of the cup, not as agile as a warrior, but as a thief with all agility. However, Axter did not take the golden cup recklessly, he first took a few closer glances to make sure that he was not dazzled, and also asked Doris to cast a few one-ring spell detection traps on the side, so as not to be happy and sad.
In the case that everything is foolproof, Axter couldn't help but spit a few mouthfuls on his hand, and he was very excited, no wonder Axter, when he was richest when he completed the mission of the temple and sold the nameless ore vein information, it was only two thousand flashing gold coins, but now it has increased by 5 or 6 times, please forgive Axter, who is still a bun class, he said that he couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart.
"Poof" There was a sound of metal entering the flesh, just when Axor was about to touch the golden cup, suddenly a slight wind sound came from behind him, Axter immediately withdrew his arm, his body hurriedly moved to the left, and a short dagger was inserted into Axter's right shoulder, and at the same time, a paralyzing feeling spread to the entire right arm, and the dagger was obviously coated with some kind of toxin.
"Look for death." Axter let out a loud shout, and while dodging, his right hand had already swung out Frost Sorrow, and the Frost Magic Sword slashed through the air in a light blue trajectory and slashed back, but the other party was obviously a seasoned wanderer, and immediately dodged after missing a hit, and Axter swung a blow into the air.
"Are you alright?" Ling and Doris reacted at this time, they immediately surrounded the city, protecting Axter and Lavis, the previous moment happened between the lightning and flint, their retina appeared when the thief's figure was already pierced into Axter's body, and when they reacted and wanted to make a move, the wanderer disappeared into place out of thin air.
"It's okay, let's go." Axter gritted his teeth and said, the information given through the retina was just that the dagger was smeared with paralyzing venom of the bipedal wyvern, and now he himself just lost his intuition in his right arm, he was very glad that it was not the poison of the hydra lizard or the tailed crystal scorpion in the swamp, otherwise it would be enough to kill himself even if he didn't stab the vital part.
Taking the golden chalice that was close at hand, Axter and they left the library of Candlecastle on guard with each other, their nerves were tense, and they put aside the possible attacks in every corner, this is the power of a high-level wanderer, who has made contact with the shadow plane, they can mobilize the shadow power to attach to themselves at will, they can suddenly disappear or appear in front of your eyes, which is unpredictable, and the legendary wanderer can cross the shuttle and shadow plane passage back and forth at will, Even the legendary mage's claim to stop the time of all creatures below the demigod can't trap this group, and a patient wanderer is always a headache and a frightening one, lurking in the corner like a black mamba viper, delivering the most fatal blow to you where you least expect it.
Back at the residence, Axter and they didn't dare to sleep in separate rooms, everyone gathered in Axter and Lavis's room, everyone stared at everything around them with wide eyes, Doris and Lavis had already arranged several spell traps and early warning spells around the room, but it was hard to say how much it would be useful to the experienced wanderers.
"You guys go to sleep first, we have less than two days to leave here, I'll guard the first shift first, don't worry, otherwise we will be dragged down by others before we fight." Axter looked at the exhausted Doris and Lavis and said, although the caster is very powerful in battle, but they have a fatal weakness is that they need enough rest, every caster must sleep enough at night to remember and recover their spell slot the next day, a caster who can't get rest is vulnerable, they will lose their ability to cast spells the next day, and there will be some unpredictable consequences if they forcibly cast spells.
"Okay, let's go to bed first." "Brother, be careful." Doris knew that what Axter was saying was true, and that Lavis wasn't the little girl who didn't understand anything before. They lay directly on the bed and fell asleep, while Ling and the warrior monk glanced at each other, leaned on the head of the bed and fell into a light sleep, but even if they closed their eyes and recuperated, they remained vigilant, and once something happened, they could enter the attack state as soon as possible.
Axor watched his teammates rest, and he took out a book from behind him about the characteristics of the Central Ring spell before it was cast and began to read it, he didn't have a deal with high-level wanderers, in that memory, the wanderers advanced shadow dancers, big thieves, battlefield scouts, assassins He all dealt with each other, and naturally knew what methods and characteristics the other party had.
All the high-level wanderers, their biggest characteristic is arrogance, they disdain to cooperate with others, always wander alone in the shadows, and they are very patient, wanderers are a pauper profession alongside the warriors, most of the professionals in it have a childhood experience that is unbearable, they have suffered from hunger, experienced war, been insulted and bullied, or begged on the streets, if they can survive these predicaments, and stand out, then their endurance is absolutely amazing, Some wanderers can lie in one place without sleeping, eating or drinking for two or three days, just for that crucial blow.
In the end, the mentality of the wanderer towards the prey is the mentality of the cat teasing the mouse, they will make the prey collapse by creating various atmospheres, and finally complete the final blow themselves effortlessly, and now the wanderer they are facing is this kind of person, he first carried out a sneak attack, and then disappeared, just to keep the opponent vigilant at all times, people are not golems, there will always be moments of fatigue, then his purpose has been achieved. Fighting the Wanderers is actually a process of perseverance, and all Axter has to do now is calm down, and then slowly wait for the other party to show his feet.
Time passed minute by minute, Axter stretched, he put the finished spell book back behind his back, and was about to take out another one to start reading, when suddenly the retina saw a message.
"You've been affected by the incense, you've passed the immunity and you're immune to sleep."
There was a situation, Axter immediately jumped up from the spot, he tried to call his team twice, but they obviously did not pass the exemption when their consciousness was relaxed, and now they have fallen into a groggy deep sleep, Axter's two eyes carefully observed every place in the room, trying to find out what was wrong, in the window and doorway Doris and Lavis have set spell warning traps, it is impossible for ordinary wanderers to enter from those places, then, the only flawed place......
It's the fireplace.
The firewood was still burning in the fireplace, with an occasional "crackling" sound, but the chimney above the fireplace led to the outside of the house, and Axter also found a small piece of bright red unidentified substance in the burning firewood, from which the wanderer undoubtedly threw the incense into the fire.
"Huh..." An inaudible sound appeared at the window, and Axter pulled out an arrow from his quiver with his backhand and threw it out, with a soft "ding" sound, the arrow formed a power no less than that of an ordinary person with a longbow under the effect of Axter's huge power, and the arrows of the arrows all sank into the wooden windowsill, but there was no doubt that Axter did not hit any target.
The window was ajar, and the cold night breeze carried through the cracks into the room, and Axter looked around, he knew that the other party must have entered the room, but he couldn't find any trace of the other party's hiding.
"Show up, as a high-level wanderer, you still use such a thing as incense, doesn't it mean your professional dignity?" Axter said loudly into the silent room, but no movement came, he knew that his words could not affect the other party at all, and the wanderer should be dignified? That's really a joke, the other party only cares about the result, as long as they can complete the task, they will not hesitate to resort to any despicable and obscene means.
Axter sneered and continued to say something inexplicable to disturb the wanderer's mind, but as a warrior, he didn't have this skill in the system panel at all, so his non-lethal words naturally couldn't affect the other party. Taunting this skill is also a warrior's magic skill, but the difficulty of training can be described as simple and easy, and it is also difficult to say that it is completely different from person to person, and it is difficult for people like Axter to tend to solve problems directly with the long sword in their hands when they don't say a word.
Just when Axter was in a dilemma. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head...............
