There is a big difference between the maps of the real world and the game world, and although the addresses are the same in terms of orientation, there are too many differences in the details.

Link only knew that Echo Valley was northwest of the Gwent Mountains, but he didn't know exactly how to get there, and what shortcuts there were.

The forest in the game is not so lush at all, this tall bush, thorns everywhere, as a modern person, as soon as you squeeze into it, you will get lost.

Fortunately, Ark and the others are all old mercenaries and are living maps.

Along the way, it was Ark leading the way, followed by Lucy, then Link, and finally the archer Gridan.

This is Link's arrangement, and there is some caution in it

After all, this mercenary group is what he just met, although it seems that the person is not bad, but the heart is separated from the belly, Link has to guard against it, Ark and Lucy's personalities are more introverted, Link can't see their specific thoughts, but Gridan is very arrogant, what is the character of what to say, although this person has a cheap mouth, but he has no bad intentions, so Link only dares to leave his back to him for protection.

However, what Link didn't know was that he was worried that the other party would sin on him halfway, and the Flamingo mercenary team was also very jealous of Link, this magician was too powerful and mysterious, and they were a little scared, for fear that this magician would do something black at the last moment.

They also have a string in their hearts.

In this way, the two sides walked to two hundred meters from the outskirts of the Echo Valley.

There is a three-person hugging thick, fifty or sixty meters high Jinna tree, the canopy is very dense, and all four of them climbed up and hid in the canopy, looking out at the valley in front of them.

At the mouth of the valley, there is a natural boulder lying horizontally, the boulder is crawling with vines, the vines hang down, and there are many dense bushes at the foot of the boulder, and it is impossible to see the specific entrance location.

Gridan the archer pointed out to Link, "The entrance is under the boulder, you see there, just under the thickest vine, yes, right there, see?" ”

Link narrowed his eyes and took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a faint black hole behind the dense vines.

"It's so secretive." He couldn't help but sigh, and he asked Ark again, "You can't see the situation in the valley here, how do you judge the number of people in the valley?" ”

"Every once in a while, someone brings some fresh fruit and spices into the grain," Ark explains. Fruit aside, this thing consumes every quasi-number, but spices, such as garlic, onions, peppers, these things, the rate of consumption is relatively stable, the taste in the Gwent Forest is heavy, from the consumption rate of spices, we estimate the number of people in the valley, about 100 and 150 people, plus other information references, we estimate the approximate number of people. ”

Link nodded again and again: "It makes sense." ”

He looked closely at the mouth of the valley and asked, "Is there a secret post of theirs around here?" ”

Ark shook his head: "These guys are confident in the concealment of the valley, there are no secret whistles outside the valley. But Taniguchi maybe, Lucy said, she sensed something unusual about Taniguchi, as if there was detection magic. ”、

Link glanced at Lucy with some surprise: "Abnormal aura, can you feel it?" ”

Some people are naturally sensitive to the aura of magical energy, this is normal, this is a kind of magical talent, in other words, if this Lucy goes to learn magic, she should have a certain achievement.

Of course, Lucy is just a commoner and has talent, but it doesn't matter if she doesn't have money, and she doesn't have Bole to discover her talent, so she can only become an ordinary mercenary with a keen sense of magic.

Lucy was a little weak when she said she was sensitive to magic in front of a formal magician, but she nodded and admitted, "I have a vague feeling, but I can't be sure." ”

Gridan added: "She had a good hunch, and several times we relied on Lucy's feelings to save a small life." ”

Lucy gave him a blank look, her face flushed slightly, and she became more and more embarrassed.

Link didn't feel anything, and since Lucy said that Taniguchi might have detection magic, he should probe it.

After thinking about it, he spent 1 magic energy to buy a level 0 magic.

Primary detection

Level 0 magic

Purpose: Roughly probe the various breaths in the environment, including magical energy, elementals, mystical powers, etc.

Once the magic was purchased, Link began casting spells.

This magic didn't need a wand, and with a blink of his eyes, the magic energy poured into his eyes, and a dim white light appeared in his eyes, and at the same time, the world in his eyes also changed slightly.

Everything seemed to be covered with a hazy halo, the ground was earthy yellow, the trees were emerald green, and the rocks were mixed with white gold, and at the mouth of the valley, Link could see a faint transparent glow hanging over it.

There was only a thin layer of this brilliance, which just shrouded Taniguchi, and its luster was as pure and transparent as water, with clear boundaries, which was the breath of demonic energy.

It seems that Lucy is right, this valley mouth does have detection magic.

After finishing the primary detection magic, Link looked at the three mercenaries, but saw the three of them looking at him with awe, thinking about it, there was a light in one person's eyes, which was really a bit mysterious, and mystery would produce awe.

At this time, the three mercenaries completely forgot the embarrassed appearance of the other party when they first met Link, and they had already admitted in their hearts that Link was a real magician.

"How?" Lucy asked.

Link nodded: "Your perception is very strong, Taniguchi does have magic." ”

Gridan suddenly laughed, "I'll just say it, Lucy has always felt accurate. ”

Lucy also looked happy and a little proud.

She is a complete layman in magic, and now her skills are recognized by insiders, which feels very good, and if this news spreads, it will be enough to become a capital for Lucy in the mercenary world.

In the future, she can tell people that she can feel the breath of magic, and if a magician personally admits her ability, other mercenaries will definitely look up to her.

Werther was indeed very cautious, there was nothing to observe outside the valley, and Link beckoned the three of them to climb down the tree.

Once under the tree, Link began casting spells on Ark.

His wand pointed at Ark, and a watery glow enveloped Ark's body, and after flashing three times from top to bottom, Link pointed his wand at the ground to the side, and a faint glow shot into the dirt.

The earth on the ground immediately began to move like life, and after a while, the ground began to bulge, first becoming a pillar of mud, then growing arms, legs, head, and finally facial features, and every detail of the body gradually became clear, and when the magic was finally completed, a stand-in that looked exactly like Ark appeared, including his war hammer and shield, and this real double was also available, if both of them were motionless, it would be impossible to tell who was real and who was fake.

"It's amazing." The three earth bun mercenaries looked at each other with a confused expression, when had they ever seen this kind of method.

Link's wand pointed in the direction of the valley and said softly, "Go, rush into the valley in a defensive stance." ”

The 'Yak' immediately turned around, and at the same time took off the shield on his back and blocked it in front of him, and rushed towards Taniguchi with a blank face and no fear.

At the same time, Link said to Ark and the others: "Let's go, let's go to the valley and wait, once the stand-in attracts the attention of the bandits in the valley, we will start attacking!" ”

This is the battle plan they have negotiated, in which the four of them have their own division of labor.

Link, the magician, will be responsible for killing and wounding the enemy, he is the sharpest spear in the team, Ark and Lucy will be by Link's side, his job is to protect Link from cold arrows, and as for the archer Gridan, he will be responsible for mending the sword.

Seeing that Ark had rushed under the boulder, and then rushed into the valley without hesitation, Link waved his hand: "Let's go, let's follow." ”

The three mercenaries surrounded Link in the middle and rushed towards the valley mouth together.

As he rushed forward, Link's wand pointed at each of them, and the light of water suddenly wrapped around everyone's body.

Level 1 Magic: Cat's Swiftness, which greatly increases the recipient's agility for 20 minutes.

The three mercenaries were obviously feeling the power of the magic blessing for the first time, and with a look of surprise, Ark waved the shield in his hand, feeling that the shield in his hand was as light as a leaf. Lucy took a light stride, and she felt as if she could fly. Gridan exclaimed, "Is this magic? It's so powerful, I feel like I can run faster than a warhorse! ”

'Three dirt buns. Link complained in his heart.

He is the unleasher of magic, sharing the perspective of the real illusion and controlling the opponent's movements remotely.

The real avatar did not hide his whereabouts at all, he was like a Spartan warrior, fearlessly charging through the valley, roaring like thunder as he went.

"Werther, you coward, come out and fight me to the death!"

"Werther, you ass bitch, get out of here!"

"Werther, I'm your dad!"

The sound of the real phantom is very loud, not only spread all over the valley, but also the valley mouth can hear it clearly, this echo valley is not in vain, the echo in the valley is one after another, and it does not stop for a long time.

"Werther, I'm your dad dad dad dad ~~"

Taniguchi, the three mercenaries looked at each other, such a taunt, if Werther could still shrink in the valley and hide, then he would not be the leader of the bandits, he would be a saint!

Those robbers would have gone crazy when they saw their leader being so insulted.

"Will the guys in the valley rush out all at once?" Lucy licked her plump, rosy lips, she was ready to kill.

With a shield in one hand and a war hammer in the other, Ark smiled and said, "It's good to come out all of them." When I finish this single task, I, Ark, can say that the four of us have taken out the Dark Brotherhood. With this alone, I will be able to live a nourishing life! ”

At this time, the valley had already exploded, just like a hornet's nest that had been stabbed.
