Chapter 32, the golden cicada sheds its shell

Bumpy carriages, rough roads, cold moonlight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The road from the farm to the armory was not long, and there was no chance of any accidents along the way, and the half-drunk coachman, yawning and humming an unknown song in boredom, sent the never-ending cargo into the territory of Lord Daken.

As soon as the guard in charge heard the sound of horses' hooves, he opened the small door from the inside, and then did not even bother to check it, and let him in.

In the back compartment, there are some sounds of gold coins falling or items colliding from time to time, which is really the most addictive sound for people who are greedy for money... If there was a real opportunity to keep such a large fortune for himself, the driver felt that he would not miss this opportunity, but considering the reality... Hey...

"My lord, really, ha..."

The already half-drunk eyes glanced at the carriage, and then showed a smile full of disdain and mockery. Although the coachman had only said half of his words, the meaning of them had already been exposed quite obviously-the carriage that was already in the barracks had already slowed down, and even the bumpy situation had been reduced a lot, but the old ruts still emitted a faint wail from time to time, confusing the hearing and hearing of the parties.

Because of this, the driver, who ignored the slight movement when the door opened and closed, continued to move towards the goal without realizing it.

It didn't take long for me to finally stop in front of a western-style building that looked like it was full of imperial aristocratic demeanor... It is reasonable to assume that this is the residence of Dakenhausen, and after parking the car, the coachman did not hesitate to get out of the carriage and leave, so he simply left the carriage full of treasure here.

After that, a few moments later, there was movement inside the door again.

The door of the carriage was opened from the internal test, and as if someone had planned it, the mage in the robes carefully stepped down from the car with a staff in his hand and as little as possible to make a sound... Because of the shadows cast by the western-style buildings, the courtyard where the carriage was parked did not receive the moonlight, which also blurred the mage's face, making it difficult to see.

But that's not the point... From the crack in the unclosed door, the treasure that had been piled up like a small mountain had disappeared in this time, and along with the extravagant crafts and equipment, it was clear that all of them had been placed in the mage's pocket.

- After confirming this, a rough and somewhat cunning voice sounded from the mouth of the burly man in armor.

"What a greedy fool who didn't even leave a single gold coin?"

As soon as the words fell, the originally dim courtyard was lit up by dozens of torches, and together with the nobleman, surrounded the mages who had sneaked into the camp!

"Only one person dared to trespass into the camp of the border army of the empire, and even tried to steal the property of the nobles for himself... Incompetent adventurer, do you know what a terrible sin you have committed!? ”

"Oh? Are you Viscount Dackenhausen? ”

Yu Yuhan took off his hood, but there was no panic on his pale face, he looked up and down at the middle-aged man who claimed to be a viscount, but was slightly bloated, and there was no humility in his rhetorical words.

"Ho Ho, although I knew I was a fool for a long time, I didn't expect it to be so stupid! Arrogant mage, do you still think you can do whatever you want with that insignificant spellcaster? Stealing the property of the nobles of the Empire, you know what a felony it is! ”

"Are you going to kill me, then? … Maybe I'm an envoy sent by the empire to check the dereliction of duty of the border army, maybe Ao? ”

"Hahaha! Still want to use such a boring excuse to get out? Give me arrows! ”

At the sound of an order, the sergeants of the corps naturally did not disobey the orders of their superiors, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of sharp arrows shot out from the places where the torches were lit! Soldiers with an average rating of more than LV30 possessed powerful and skillful bow skills, and with high-quality equipment, those arrows easily pierced the mage's body, directly tearing the robed figure to pieces...

That's right

There was no blood and no fall to the ground, and the figure that had just stepped down from the carriage was completely shattered like a foam board in an instant!

"Illusion!?"

"Yes, I found out."

At the same time that the illusion was defeated, in another corner of the Dakenhausen Armory, Yu Zhihan, who had just used a sneak attack to continuously put several soldiers, also sensed the prompt that the skill was invalid.

- The Shadow of Fraud

One of the basic skill scrolls obtained in the trading house before, as a trickery skill similar to "mirror", "Shadow of Deception" can only create a single illusion, not to mention, and even the illusion itself cannot cause damage to the opponent, but as a compensation, this skill gives the mage the ability to control the illusion movement and share vision!

It was with the help of these conveniences that Yu Zhihan was able to secretly use the "flashing technique" to get out of the carriage in advance without anyone noticing, and even then the phantom staged a good show, attracting the attention of Dakenhausen himself.

As for when the mage started, it was discovered that this mission might contain even bigger traps... Perhaps I was suspicious from the first time I discovered the hidden side door.

Forget the slightest trace of ruts, and what's even more outrageous is that since even the main gate of the camp is equipped with a secret sentry, this side gate should not be defended to this extent to such an extent no matter how you think about it... Of course, if this alone can be explained by Dakenhausen's mediocrity, then what happened later confirmed his previous suspicions.

First of all, the task received by the two little ghosts of Morning Song and Rain Pass...

As mentioned before, for ordinary alchemists, they should not carry anything worthy of the Imperial Viscount's forcible seizure.

Taking a step back, even if it really exists, then the task entrusted to Twilight Morning Song should be to recover the corresponding item, why do you have to compare it with an alchemy notebook?

Taking a step back, even if that notebook was really important to this alchemist, why didn't he, who considered himself an adventurer, simply ask for help from the adventure guild directly, or directly issue a task within the guild, instead wait in this deserted town and entrust two passing players to help?

Secondly, there is a contradiction between the mage himself and Chen Ge's two missions - one is the occasional antidote recovery mission of civilians, and the other is the entrustment of a long-chain adventurer, whether from the position or background setting, the difficulty and risk of the latter's mission should far exceed the former.

However, according to Yu Yuhan's experiment in the carriage, whether it is gold coins or props, all these valuable items can be freely picked up by the player, but they will put the player in an abnormal state that cannot be offline (it can be forced offline, but the character will remain online until death, different from the offline state in battle), this kind of return is far greater than the investment, which only proves that there is a greater risk hidden behind the vested interests.

In other words, what if the Viscount deliberately let people enter the armory?
