Chapter 468: The High Elves Join in (2/4)
"Why is he so bold?" Felena looked at the back of the thief in front of her and sighed in amazement. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A level 6 thief, disguised to enter the legendary magician's magic tower, and steal Link's magic notes, this is really fat and scared to death.
She was now interested in the end of this thief.
It was 6 o'clock in the evening, the sun had just set, and there was still some afterglow of the setting sun under the horizon in the distance.
The thief walked all the way out of the tower to the street, smiled and waved hello to a few magic apprentices he knew, and then continued on his way.
After walking a block, he stood on the corner, talked to the coachman of a rental carriage parked on the side of the road, set the price, and climbed into the carriage.
The carriage started and drove along the road between Scorched Earth Ridge and the harbour.
"He's ready to go to port." Felena picked up speed and prepared to catch up.
"Come back." Link stepped forward and grabbed her.
"What's wrong?" Felena was puzzled.
"He didn't get into the carriage, come with me." Link explained as he walked, "There was no one in the carriage, but there should be a magic item that emitted the same aura, it should be a rune stone, and the thief used invisibility. β
The two of them, who were also in stealth, walked along the street wall, and when they reached the carriage in front of them, Link pointed to a footprint in the mud on the side of the road and said, "Look, he's going this way." The thief was very alert, most likely aware that someone was following him. β
As he spoke, Link released a clear omen.
All the unimportant information, such as the voices of the people around him, the sound of horses' hooves, and the rolling of wheels, faded in an instant, and all that was left in Link's eyes was the very tiny footprints on the ground, and the vague smell in the air.
He followed all the way, Felena following closely at his side.
"He's like us, going all the way along the wallγγγγγγ Wait, he has eliminated the magical aura from his body, and now he is an ordinary personγγγγγγ Look, he appeared. β
Fifty meters ahead, the thief reappeared.
But at this time, he changed a lot, he was originally wearing a magic robe, but at this time he was replaced with light leather armor, and his hair was originally tied behind his head, but at this time he also put it down, and the aura on his body changed abruptly, he completely looked like an ordinary person.
Felena looked surprised: "Link, are you sure it's really him?" I don't look like it at all. β
"It's him, his body shape, walking posture, and body smell haven't changed, can't you smell it?" Link is a little strange, he is also a dragon, and Felena's five senses should be very sensitive.
Felena spread her hands: "There are too many people on the street, and the smell is too mixed, how can this be distinguished." Besides, your dragon power is more than ten times that of mine. β
"Oh, I'm wrong about you, he's right anyway, hurry up, don't let him disguise himself anymore." At the end of the day, Link's tone was much quicker.
The thief in front of him walked to the intersection and turned left, and at the same time, Link felt the aura of power he had been tracking disappear, and at the same time, a very harsh smell of garlic suddenly appeared in the air, under this smell, Link couldn't distinguish the other party's body odor at all.
'Step~Step~Step~' The two ran to the crossroads, but there was still the thief there.
Felena gasped: "He's completely gone, this guy really has some skills!" β
Link also lost the trail, but he didn't rush it, and with the support of magic, he circled the area a few times before finally stopping on the stone wall of a villa.
"Look, there's something unusual about this stone brick, you see the texture of the stone." Link dots on masonry.
When Felena looked over, she saw that there was a fine black mud on the stone brick, and there were many gravels at the edges and corners, which was the result of an explosion of great power.
"He went to the roof?" Felena looked up at the roof of the villa: "He has one foot here, and the next foot on the γγγγγ Then, according to this power explosion, it must have gone to the roof. β
Link still didn't rush to a conclusion, continued to observe, and after five seconds, he said: "Look at the dent in that dark corner, there are a few finger prints, he pointed out with his thumb, the power is very condensed, and the shock force of this blow is enough to push his body out 20 metersγγγγγγ Well, he didn't go up to the roof, but flew over the house, and look, the new footprints are here. β
Felena followed Link over, and when she reached an alley, she saw several fresh footprints on the slate, which were obviously used to relieve force, and stepped on the slab with a lot of fine stone dust.
This time, the thief seemed to feel that he had shaken off his opponent, so the footprints on the ground became very obvious, and the footprints stretched all the way down the alley, until they reached the deepest part, the footprints disappeared again, and the parapet of Scorched Earth Ridge appeared in front of them.
"He crawled out." Felena said.
"Indeed." Link nodded, and seeing that Felena was about to climb out of the gap in the masonry of the parapet, he waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome. β
As he spoke, Link reached out and pressed on the city wall, and used his fingertips to draw a few spatial runes on the city wall, and then the dragon power poured out and slapped at the city wall.
There was a soft 'poof' sound, and the material of the city wall became rippled like a wave, and then a soft explosion opened with a 'pop'.
It was a strange opening, like an exploding wave, with a large number of transparent ripples that shimmered around it, while the surrounding walls were intact and very strange.
At the same time, many transparent silk threads appeared in Link's hands, and these silk threads connected the spatial ripples around these magic doors.
"Space Gate, a little magic, let's go over."
The two walked across the city wall, Link shook hands a little harder, the transparent silk threads in his hands closed together, the light disappeared, and with a 'whew', the hole in the city wall that was blasted open by a strange force also closed at the same time, and it was so tightly closed that there was no damage to the city wall.
Felena glanced at it, she was already a little numb to Link's methods, the power of this Terran mage was rapidly developing into an incomprehensible realm, becoming more and more incomprehensible.
After arriving at the outskirts of Scorched Earth City, the situation is much easier to track, the ground here is not paved with any stone slabs, it is all ordinary dirt roads, and it is easiest to leave footprints.
"Ah~ it stinks." Felena's smooth face was wrinkled like the peel of an old orange, and she reached out and waved it vigorously in front of her nose.
There is no way, the ground is full of horse manure, sheep manure, and even human manure, although someone cleans it up, but the effect is really not great. The inhabitants of Scorched Earth are all fleeing, many of them farmers, who have not yet fully adapted to city life, and it is normal to splash dung water from night pots on the streets, because that's what they did in the village.
Link also frowned and walked forward, and the two followed the footprints all the way out of the city.
Probably following the middle of the city, Link suddenly said: "This thief senses danger again, he begins to speed up, go, we will speed upγγγγγγ I'll bless you with a levitation technique. β
Felena kept jumping on the road, trying not to step on the horse manure, and Link felt hard to see it, so he simply let her float, and then he used the mage's hand to lead her forward quickly.
Soon, the two chased out of Scorched Earth City to the outskirts of the city.
"He went to the port, maybe someone was there to pick him up." Felena said.
"There should be, don't let him get on the boat and run away."
Link also began to speed up, and when he got here, Felena didn't have to worry about stepping on feces, so she ran wildly behind Link.
On the outskirts of the city, the thief became very cautious again, leaving very few traces and setting up a lot of illusions.
Link and Felena were fast, but they had to stop from time to time to check each other's marks along the way, so they chased all the way, but they never caught up with the thief.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the harbor.
Link looked over and saw a blurred black figure leap onto a merchant ship that was slowly moving away from the harbor.
The departure from the port at night is strange at this look.
"He's running away!" Felena saw it too, and sped up.
Link was not in a hurry, his thumb and index finger of his two hands were closed in a circle, the air in the circle was slightly blurred, and then two spatial lenses were formed, and Link's two finger fists were superimposed in front of his eyes, becoming a high-magnification telescope.
He looked through the telescope at the dark shadow in front of him, looked closely, and after three seconds, he said, "The thief is gone, but the magic notes on his body are gone." β
Felena stopped suddenly: "So talking about you, is he deliberately diverting our attention and leading us to chase?" β
In order to infiltrate the magic tower as an apprentice, this thief did not have magic props on him, let alone space equipment, after he got the manuscript, he always put it on his body, and Link saw it clearly when he followed out of the magic tower.
But now, when he saw the other man jumping onto the merchant ship, he sensed that something was wrong, and when he looked through the improvised high-powered telescope, he was sure that the thief had diverted his notes.
Link's mind raced, and after a few seconds, he said, "Felena, in this way, you follow this thief, don't chase him, just hang behind." β
"I see." Felena understood Link's intentions, and the other party transferred the manuscript, it must have been someone who answered, and she went after the thief, and the person who answered would think that she had been deceived by the thief, and would think that it was safe. Link is hiding in the shadows, just in time to find this guy out.
Felena quickened her pace and rushed towards the merchant ship.
Link continued to remain invisible, creeping through the dark corners of the harbor, following the trail of the thieves and walking for more than 300 meters to the cargo storage area of the dock.
There is a mountain of goods here, some have just been unloaded from merchant ships, some are ready to crash ships, and it is a mess.
As he got closer, Link felt the message he had printed on the magic note to track the runes, which were so weak that they could barely be traced so that they could barely be traced, but when they were closer, Link could clearly feel them.
Link didn't go to get the notes, he found a hidden corner and hid, and waited patiently.
This wait is more than 3 hours, and it is more than 10 o'clock in the evening.
The bustling harbor had quieted down, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the docks, when an ordinary-looking dock worker approached the docks, looking left and right, and seemed a little nervous.
All the way to the cargo area, he fumbled for a while, and then turned to leave, Link clearly saw something in his arms, and he had an extra breath of magic notes on him.
By this time, Link still hadn't shown up, because the docker was obviously a substitute for the dead, someone must have paid him to do something, and he had no idea what he was holding.
Link didn't bother him, and hung far behind the dock worker.
The docker walked all the way, and soon went out of the harbor, and then went around to a high ground by the harbor, where there was a lighthouse, and when he came to the lighthouse, he took out the thing in his bosom, and placed it in the gap between the two rocks.
After doing all this, he did not stop for a moment, and ran back to the harbor.
Link waited patiently, and after three minutes, a dark shadow came out from behind the lighthouse, slender and tall, with pointed ears, and when he walked in, Link could see her smooth porcelain white skin and delicate facial features, and she had a very special natural elemental power in her.
It's a high elf, and the kind that has just come out of Dawn Island.
Things are getting a little more complicated. (To be continued.) )
