ps: Modify the wording. Thanks to "Actually, I'm a sheep" for the big monthly ticket. There is also a big reward for "reservations".

Just as Barrett held his breath and stepped into the entrance to the tunnel, Noodles standing behind him reminded, "Be careful! Those guys down there may be playing dead, trying to play a trick to lure the enemy deeper. ”

"Don't worry! I don't think it was faked even when I heard that kind of movement before. After the baptism of the stinky clouds, even if those guys want to play ambush, I want to see how much combat power they can have. Barrett, who had inserted the torch into the armor card slot, gripped his new weapon tightly with his hand.

However, Barrett, who stepped into it, did not show as much vigor as his own words. The underground structures built in this field are not official model projects. The passages secretly constructed by the underground organizations were too narrow for Barrett's tall stature. So much so that Barrett had to bend his knees slightly to save his head from colliding with the top of the passage, which was like a rickety little old man.

Within a few steps, Barrett spotted the wooden columns on both sides of the passage and the beams of the same material overhead. Because of the influence of these accessories, the whole passage feels like a small coal kiln with a black heart. However, the feeling of temporary work also made Barrett feel a lot more relieved - at least this time, the attackers were not operating in Borem territory to the extent that they could build a full-fledged secret base. It can be seen that there are no obvious problems with the Boreham family's control of the territory.

But just as Barrett's mood had just improved, the halfling wanderer who was following him suddenly coughed violently. Here Barrett stopped himself: "Noodles, what's the situation?" ”

"Ahem! It's not clean yet. The smell of the stinky cloud technique hasn't been cleared yet. "Noodles covering their mouths. At the moment, he had to free one hand and constantly beat his chest. And his cheeks, which were already a little blue. It even said 'I'm very uncomfortable'.

"Damn! Noodles, don't you come to my back first? The size of the halfling is too susceptible to the remnants of the stinky cloud technique. As he spoke, Barrett seemed to suddenly remember something. Immediately afterwards he turned his head and shouted, "Mara, you and Bush Jr. are on guard from above!" Lest those damn bastards have other outlets. When the time comes, it will be a problem to trap us underground. ”

In order to minimize the effect of wind on spell effects, cloud spells such as Stinky Cloud tend to weigh slightly more than air. As a result, they also have some sort of carbon dioxide-like property - which is not visible while the spell is in effect. But once the spell time has passed, the understanding of the scent decreases linearly from short to tall.

So Barrett, the big man, only frowned when he smelled it, and Noodles, a halfling who was less than half his height, was now directly pale. When Barrett found out about this situation, he didn't dare to let Lady Marajidi and her mount, Bush Jr., come down. That's obviously a tendency to lie down and lie down!

"Okay, I understand!" With that, Ms. Mara Branches flew over and sat on Bush's back, and the spear she pulled out from the saddle and looked around with her keen eye. It's as if you're always on the lookout for possible attackers.

Barrett, who was slightly relieved, felt his back sink, apparently the noodle boy had climbed up. Fortunately, it was only the weight of a halfling wanderer, and it did not affect Barrett's actions so much. Barrett, who was taking steady steps all the way, found that suddenly there was a sudden brightness in front of him. It felt like a large hole in the pit that had just been excavated. Apparently this is where the attackers lived on a daily basis when they were hiding.

However, when he entered the room, Barrett found that his previous words were really a bit of a crow's mouth. The 'living room' in front of me was empty. And the flickering oil lamp and the warm bed that had not had time to be tidied seemed to tell Barrett and his party that the guys who had been here before had not gone far.

"Damn! Sure enough, there was another passage. Although he said so, Barrett had already expected this kind of cunning situation. Barrett quickened his pace to the other end of the 'living room'. However, what made him frown was that the other two passages to the surface did not leave any obvious traces. This made him unable to find his target even if he wanted to follow him.

Barrett, who had written down the directions of the two passages, began to build a map model of the hideout in his head. Barrett, who then grabbed a handful of soil from the wall next to him, kneaded it a few times, and then suddenly smiled with joy on his face. Then he turned around and said, "Go back the way you came." The soil in this kind of place is not very load-bearing, and the remaining two passages are the same as the one we came in before, which cannot be very long. Go to the ground and let Mara follow her with her dogs. Far better than us being moles underground. ”

"So what about here?" Kleimatisbot, who followed him into the underground 'living room', pointed to the contents: "Maybe there's any evidence left in here that can point to their identity." ”

"Let's put things here for now! Anyway, as long as no one is messing around. And it won't disappear into thin air. It's better to catch those bastards now. They are the best source of information compared to the scraps of paper that may remain here. With that, Barrett flickered past Clematisbot and entered the passage from which he had come. And the noodles on his back had to hold on tightly to the slightly protruding shoulder armor to prevent himself from being thrown out while Barrett was maneuvering.

With the assistance of the white crow's tactics, it didn't take much time for Barrett to push Claudia Auditore and Rielly, who were originally walking behind, back to the ground. At the same moment as he stepped out of the passage, Barrett commanded Lady Marabranch: "Mara, you have a ringing arrow on you!" Hurry up and ride George W. Bush to track down those damn bastards. Judging from the construction conditions in one place, they can't escape far......"

"Yes!" As soon as Ms. Mara Branches pulled the reins as soon as she said this, Bush Jr. immediately turned in the direction that Barrett was pointing to: "I'll go first!" If the enemy is found. Hurry to your aid by the sound of the arrows. ”

At this time, Barrett pushed several companions all the way. After exiting the passage, they all sat down on the floor. Rielly rubbed her sore ass and complained, "Barrett came out." You can reach out and pull us along! In this situation, is it a deliberate attempt to see us laugh? ”

"The situation was so urgent, I didn't pay attention to it for a while! Next time, I promise not. Barrett scratched his head slightly embarrassed and apologized.

Claudia Auditore, who got back on her feet, patted the dust off her body and asked, "So what are we doing now?" Pursue it on another path? ”。

"Nope! We waited here, waiting for Mara's arrows. "If those damn guys pretend to run away and play a pistol on us, we'll have to stay here to make the right choice." ”

"You mean they ......" was only halfway through when Claudia Auditore felt like a convulsion. Nervously yelled into the passage, "Klamatis, are you alright!" If it's okay, come up to me. ”

"Claudia, what are you doing here! It was so yelling that I was going to have ringing in my ears. Clematisbot, who came out of the passageway, was holding his hands to his ears and complaining.

Seeing Claudia Auditore who was safe and sound, her expression was obviously relieved: "I'm not worried about you!" Because Barrett said that the attackers could have killed them. ”

"But it's really okay to let the lady go alone in the end! There are two ways for those guys to escape! "And even if they were found, would the Lady of the Branch really be able to handle so many people alone?" ”。

"You can rest assured of the previous one! The kind of specially trained riding dog will not run slower than the average pony. Even if all of those guys are warrior monks, it won't be easy to escape. Barrett paused at this point, "What's more, as long as the big dog smells it, with Mara's tracking ability, it is impossible for them to jump." As for the question of whether she can beat or not, since Mara has a speed advantage, can she still run if she can't beat it? ”。

"Anyway, Barrett, it's really smooth for you to call that lady by her name directly!" A strange smile suddenly appeared on Rielly's face. "Could it be that our tall captain is actually a damn 'Lo Li Controller'?"

Barrett patted his head and said, "Anyway, Ellelie, what do you have in mind!" Madame Malazhidi is a soldier, so it is good to treat her with sincerity in her dealings. Don't play so much. Since she asked us to call our names directly, we should stop using different names before and after. ”

At this moment, there was a "crackling" sound in the sky! It was Lady Marazhidi, who had spotted the enemy, sending a signal to her companions. At this point, Barrett's expression suddenly became serious: "Guys are working, Rielie is going to 'grease the soles of his feet', and he has to keep those guys anyway." ”

With the help of the 'Oiling on the Soles of the Feet' ring transformation spell, the running speed of the Bloodstained Gray Flower Ones nearly doubled. Following the direction from which the sound of the arrow came from, the players galloped all the way. Immediately afterwards, the player sees scattered beans along the way, which are the 'signposts' that Ms. Mara Branches deliberately left behind. Following these markers, the players soon saw the attackers they had been searching for days.

At this moment, Ms. Mara Zhidi was riding Bush Jr., holding the short bow in her hand quite embarrassed, not far away to contain the actions of those suspected members of the 'Scarlet Hand'.

Barrett, who spotted the enemy, charged ahead, followed by Laru, who was close behind, covered himself with Barrett's tall figure, as if preparing to surprise the enemy in front of him. The attackers who discovered that Lady Marazhidi had come to reinforcements immediately prepared to break through directly despite the arrows they fired. But then a stunningly large white cobweb covered their retreat route.

Taking advantage of the 'spider web' unleashed by Rielly, Barrett has already narrowed the distance between those target tasks. The 'Broken Peak' Mo knife is a straight cut from top to bottom, but in order to leave a living mouth, Barrett specially used the back of the knife.

"Sonorous-" With a bang, the Valkyrie in front of him put his hands on his hands and blocked Barrett's attack with a pair of bracers made of iron. But at this moment, Lalu, who was originally following Barrett, suddenly got out of his crotch. Then he flew up and raised a head hammer, and the enemy in front of him almost lost his breath.

But just when Barrett felt that he was about to reap the fruits of victory, the pupils of the enemy in front of him began to dilate, and his eyes quickly lost their lustre. Barrett, who secretly screamed in his heart, immediately shouted to his teammates: "Hurry up, those guys have suicide poison hidden in their tooth sockets." ”

Unfortunately, even if such a reminder was given, it was too late. With the suicide of the first enemy, the remaining ones also lost their lives before the players could get their hands on them.

Barrett, who couldn't catch it alive, shouted, "Don't think you can keep a secret if you're dead." Klaimatis took out the 'Conversation of the Dead' scroll that he had prepared earlier! Let's start by letting the dead answer the question. ”

'Dead Talk' is a spell that temporarily restores a corpse with little health and intelligence, allowing it to answer the caster's questions. This spell can raise an additional question for each caster level. However, as long as the spell duration is exceeded, no more questions can be asked. Of course, knowledge of the corpse, including the language it spoke, is limited to what it knew during its lifetime. Concurrent responses are usually short, vague, or repetitive. Also, if the creature's faction is different from the caster, it can resist the caster's spell by will-immunity as he did in life.

Of course, a spell does not make the caster speak to the dead (whose soul is already far away), it only evokes the knowledge that remains in the flesh. The corpse retains the imprint of the soul, so it can be said that all the knowledge before birth. However, the corpse does not gain new information, or even remembers what the caster asked.
