Chapter 49: A Difficult Mission (1)
ps: Modify the wording. At the same time, I would like to thank "YF533" and "Fengling Mountain Fire" for their monthly votes.
"Damn, why do I have to come out with you?" 'Lady Isbelle', who had transformed into a foxhound, suddenly turned around and bared her teeth and asked.
"Yes ma'am! We understand your desire to return to that young lady, but since this is your lord's order, I think you should stop for a while! Barrett then said, "If I were you, try harder, and the sooner you find our goal, the sooner you can get back to her." β
"Alright! You're telling the truth, I really can't resist that damn old man right now. But just wait until Ulrika gets married. The tone of 'Ms. Isbell', who was swaying from side to side, inevitably carried a lot of anticipation.
Claudia seems to think of something. Auditore laughed softly from behind: "I didn't expect you to be a dowry 'Lady Isbelle'!" β
"How can I say that I am a dowry, I am obviously the guardian of Ulrika. As long as I'm here, Ulrika won't be bullied by her husband's family after she gets married. "'Ms. Isbelle', who has felt good about herself, is even more angry at this time, and even the few fluff on her body stand up.
At this time, Barrett immediately began to take the opportunity to use the agitation method: "'Ms. Isbell' I think if you want to change the opinion of outsiders, the best option is to use facts to counter other people's statements. β
"So I'm going to try to find Graeme's stupid dog as soon as possible?" 'Lady Isbelle' turned her head, and there was a look of sarcasm and contempt in the dog's eyes.
Barrett, who was despised by the dog, continued to talk nonsense as if he had nothing to do: "Isn't this a great opportunity for you to show your abilities to the Colston family, 'Ms. Isbelle'?" I think the stupid dog you spoke about before is far more trusted by his owner than you in the family! Didn't you think about what caused the difference? β
Through what I saw and heard in the Colston family before. Barrett reasoned in a settling tone. Hearing this, 'Lady Isbelle' suddenly became speechless.
Apparently she knew the 'flashing dog' called Graeme. Decades of service to the Colston family. It's just that 'Ms. Isbelle', who used to feel good about herself, has always deliberately avoided this question - as opposed to loyal dogs. Cats just like to be smart.
After being struck, 'Ms. Isbell' could only keep twitching her nose and began to try to find her 'Mr. Graeme', who didn't know where he was being held. This made Barrett satisfied with the verbal offensive he had just made: "Although the shape-shifting cat pet has an intelligence no less than that of a human, there are many things that are more than just a smart head. Experience and experience are also very important......
From the previous communication with the second lady of the Colston family, Barrett could clearly sense that she lacked education in some aspects. To reason with this, as the young lady's pet, 'Lady Isbelle' is likely to have a similar problem in this regard. That's the series of well-coordinated verbal offensives that the players just had, and judging from the final result, Barrett was right.
But even Ms. Isbell, who had been a little careless, began to devote herself to the search for work. The progress of the overall contraction is still not optimistic. After all, 'Ulrique' is really a big city. So even if it's a part of the horse team, it's not a small size
In Ulrique's original plan, all the secondary streets were laid out in a simple grid so that travelers could easily find their way. At the same time, the alleys and alleys are mostly hidden behind the buildings, away from the main streets, to ensure that garbage and beggars do not inconvenience the caravans on the main roads.
In this way, the players had to go through a lot of wrongs in the process. So it wasn't until the moon was gradually rising above the treetops that the players stepped on half of the collection area in front of them, not to mention that the players were not satisfied, and even the waiter sent by the Colston family to supervise the players behind them complained: "Can't you move faster?" If this continues, we may not be able to complete the collection area tonight! β
Hearing this, Barrett reluctantly turned his head: "If Lord Lord can arrange for us to have one more magical creature with a keen sense of smell, I think we have completed the task by now." β
Then he seemed to find the waiter's attempt to justify. Barrett then gags him with a barrage of cannons, "Don't tell me that the only magical creatures in the Colston family are 'Lady Isbell' and the missing 'Mr. Graeme'. I think there are at least 4 or more other magical creatures hidden in that mansion! β
"This! This one. How can I, as a servant, know that aspect of the family secrets! The waiter in front of him stammered in reply.
At this time, the 'Lady Isbelle', who also felt it, also stopped her steps: "Anyway, this is not a secret among the nobles of 'Ulrike'. The Colston family is indeed home to a certain number of magical creatures. However, I cannot disclose the exact number. β
"I understand! Those are the Colston family's hole cards. Especially in the current situation, it may even be their only capital to save their lives. Barrett nodded understandingly, and did not go any further on the subject.
Likewise expects to be able to solve the problem as soon as possible. Bot said tentatively, "I still have a copy of the bloodshield that I purchased before I came. If 'Ms. Isbelle' doesn't mind, it should be able to make your sense of smell even better. β
"Stay away from me?" Hearing this, 'Ms. Isbell' immediately jumped to the side, "Don't try to put that damn thing on my nose again. β
'I heard you right, it just said it! Could it be that 'Lady Isbelle' had used this alchemical potion before? And left any bad memories? The thought popped into the minds of all the players. Several of them had weird smiles on their faces.
However, the brief interlude passed quickly. With a task on their shoulders, everyone is now looking for a job - whether it is for the player who is off to a good start, or the two Colston family 'members' who are under pressure from their superiors, they all have a reason not to fail.
As the minutes ticked by and finally in the middle of the moon, Ms. Isbell's nose twitched: "I smell Graeme's stupid dog!" Whoa, in the direction the wind is coming from. β
As 'Lady Isbelle' suddenly picked up her pace and started running, the players who followed her smiled. Because they knew that as long as they found the location of Mr. Graeme, they would have completed more than half of the mission this time.
Soon 'Ms. Isbell' was stopped in a backlit alleyway, and then scraped a ground with her front paws. Seeing this, Barrett immediately turned to look at the halfling wanderer: "It seems to be a secret door, and the noodles are up to you." β
"I'm good at the technical problems!" But Random Noodles turned her gaze to the squire sent by the Colsten family. "But we'd better be able to figure out whose arm this secret passage is in front of us before deciding whether to move or not. As a native of Ulrique, I think this gentleman should know something we don't know! β
"How could the underground buildings in the market area be accessible to someone like me! But you can act boldly with confidence, for the city guards have already made arrangements. The waiter said these words as if on a routine basis.
'Damn! Do you seem to be preparing us to go head-to-head with these underground organizations? Although he was a little angry, Barrett motioned for Noodle to open the secret door. It has to be said that after obtaining a series of auxiliary strange objects, the lock-picking skills of the halfling wanderer have been rapidly improved. Therefore, it can be said that it is easy to solve the problems at hand.
As the entrance to the tunnel opened, Barrett suddenly stopped his steps about to leap inβas if there was a cold aura lingering around him, making Barrett's hairs stand on end. Barrett, who felt that the situation was wrong, immediately tensed the muscles of his whole body and looked around vigilantly.
He slowed his breathing. At the same time, he adjusted his ** to the best state for the assault - at this moment, he finally reached a certain combat rhythm that he had reached during the test, 'like a virgin, the enemy opened an account; After such as taking off the rabbit. The enemy is too late to resist'. also felt the strangeness of Barrett's appearance, and several players next to him immediately formed a group back to back. Apparently aware of the potential threats that could be in the vicinity.
Suddenly, in a dim shadow in the original alley, there seemed to be a cloud of ink wriggling. Then he suddenly turned into a detached bolt and headed straight at Barrett's face, apparently trying to get rid of the threat that he sensed first. Fortunately, Barrett was prepared in advance, and a side flip successfully dodged the opponent's surprise attack.
At the same time, Rieli raised her right hand and waved it at the location where the attacker had landed, only to see a cloud of golden particles of smoke looming over everything in the area. The other party was outlined by these golden particles, and I am afraid that there is no way to continue to hide in a short period of time.
This is the spell of the mage's famous second ring - glitter dust. During the spell, the creature will be blinded and the invisibility will be outlined. Everything in the entire area is covered in light dust, which cannot be removed, it will keep flashing until it goes out.
This is known as the most powerful all-conquering spell in the heavens and the earth, unable to resist the arts, and blindness and manifestation coexist. It can be said that it can be accompanied by mages who have not opposed the spell faction, and the high-value spells that can be used in the life of small mages to high-level mages.
But even with the new potential threat, the black humanoid shadow seemed to recognize Barrett. At the same time as it pounced on him again, a dark wheel of light surrounded the sharp object on the right hand. Even Barrett, who had dark vision, was unable to observe the appearance of the specific sharp object under the influence of that energy - it was still unknown whether it was a alien dagger or a cone.
'This guy's luck is really good, the flash dust just now doesn't seem to have any effect on his eyesight! Faced with the assassin's next move, Barrett's brain spun rapidly. At the same time, the Mo knife behind his back was horizontal, making a defensive posture against the light soldiers.
Unlike the first assault, which was like a tiger pounced, the Assassin swayed his body to obscure his movements. Then he stretched his body in mid-air and threw out an attack, combining wild speed and strength. This time, the enemy's pace seems light and slow, but it is also very fast. I saw that the distance between him and Barrett was shortening rapidly, almost in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the figure of the enemy in front of him, Barrett immediately realized that this seemed to be the introductory pace of the Sunset Sect - 'Wind Movement'. This made Barrett secretly wary: "Now you have to watch out for the opponent's tripping skills." And his performance just now must be a Shadow Sun Warrior Monk! If you can, it's best not to let that guy touch it! β
Sunsetstream's "Wind Movement" allows the user to easily climb over ground covered with rubble and other debris, giving it an advantage over opponents who need to struggle to move at full speed. By working closely with the surrounding environment, it makes it easy for the user to find a foothold in difficult terrain. While other creatures struggle to move through difficult terrain, the user's movements appear to be a breeze.
However, any martial artist who uses this stance can turn an uneven foothold into his own advantage when fighting in difficult terrain. And by guessing how your opponent will balance his weight, the user can also launch an attack at the right time to knock him to the ground, which is a great option in the middle of an alley full of clutter.
In the face of the rain that had already descended on him, Barrett used a slamming strike similar to a mountain leaning or a monkey-like stumbling move at close range to prevent his opponent from being at close range. So that the amplitude of his own actions could not become larger--Shi Longliu's posture once again played its due role at this moment. (To be continued......)
