The sun had set, and the moonlight was pouring silently over the earth like flowing water. :。 At night, the Iron Riding City shows a different side of itself. With the dim light projected from the houses on the streets, the alternative noise filled one-third of the city at once in the midst of singing and laughter.

As a border city, Iron Knights did not have the curfew that was common on the Big 6 - the kind of behavior that was decided by the ruler and enforced by violent agencies on the grounds of public safety and order, and was prohibited from operating at night during martial law.

Anyone who has studied history knows that curfews have existed since ancient times, especially in times of war, disaster, or martial law in areas where special political activities occur.

However, in the game "Diarra Big 6", among the known cities and towns on the big 6, more than 8 percent are more or less enforcing curfews. In Barrett's view, this is simply a sign of the ruler's lack of confidence in his own control.

They were unable to control criminals who showed their minions in the dark, so they had to hide civilians in their homes and cover their heads with bedding in the hope that the earthen walls and not thick doors would protect them.

In contrast, the elite divisions stationed in the Iron Cavalry City succeeded in suppressing the various tribes, and brought a free night to the people who lived here—black military horses, shining cuirasses, longbows at their waists, swords in their hands, and feathers on their helmets that were raised high and swayed in the wind.

The group of guards wearing gun markers was in a group of four. Riding a war horse, he patrolled through the Iron Horse City in a uniform manner. They are the key to maintaining order in Iron Riding City, the guarantee of peace of mind for the residents, and the beckoning cats for the prosperity of the tavern owners.

It's a shame that this pretty exciting nightlife has been temporarily away from players. Players who must spend the next few days in the Iron Rider Chapter of the Scroll Society. After having that kind of clear soup and little water dinner with the members here. They began to gather together and summarize the experience of the day's battles.

Noodles sitting on a chair and shaking their legs. Rather enviously, he mentioned to Riel Lilly: "With a little wool and a few grains of sand, you can make those two guys around." Anyway, Rieli, do you want to learn more spells with illusions in the future? ”

This guy who doesn't open a pot and mentions a pot doesn't realize what he's saying wrong. But when he saw Elly's face, which was about to turn into black charcoal, his liver fluttered, and then he shrank his head and asked weakly, "Am I saying something wrong?" ”

"Noodles! I remember mentioning before that I was buffed by the defense school, and I was against the enchantment and illusion schools. Rielly, who was holding her forehead with her left hand, had already extended her right hand to her waist.

"Nope! Don't mess around! Noodles jumped up from their seats. The halfling who flew in a backflip firmly grasped the back of the chair he had just left. Immediately, the whole chair fell backwards because of the change in center.

Relying on his agile movements, the noodles kicked the back of the chair in the air before it completely fell to the ground. At the same time, I used this power to land myself safely. It also ensures that the center of the chair is restored and stable.

Rielly, pulling a handkerchief from her fanny pack, asked with a smirk, "Why are you reacting so much?" ”

"You guy did it on purpose, did it on purpose!" Now that I'm really being played with, the noodle temper has come up.

"Okay, two of you, please don't make trouble." Barrett held out his hands between the two in an attempt to stop this possible clash.

Rielly, who tapped her cheek with a handkerchief, said with a slight cry: "I didn't make any trouble! It's just that self-introduction is regarded as the wind in the ears by others, and I feel a little cold in my heart. ”

"Your acting skills are too bad, if you want to pretend, you should first give your bluffing skills a little high!" Noodle held out his finger angrily and reprimanded the lady in front of him.

"Speaking of illusions, I remember that the Wanderer has quite a few advanced classes that can also use illusions!" Barrett, who directly reached out and pressed the halfling's head, bent down and looked into the eyes of the noodles face to face and said, "If that's right, even the most common Assassin Advancement has this ability." ”

"It's just a few illusions in the limited number of spells you can use." Noodles into their own head tilted to the side said reluctantly.

There are many classes in the game that can harness the power of nature. , Platinum Dragon Shadow, etc., all have the ability to use arcane or divine magic. However, as half-people, their abilities in this regard cannot be compared to that of orthodox spellcasters.

"As for Rielie you! If I remember correctly, the opposing school's spells can't be used in the arcane realm. How can you still hold on to that old idea. It was understandable when I first entered the game, but after so long, didn't I dig out anything? Barrett paused at first, as if to hang Rielly's appetite.

But this kind of topic is closely related to one's own life. Even though she knew that Barrett was playing with her, Rielly fell into the trap lightly: "Our captain, sir. I think I heard something terrible from you! ”

"Isn't that really a great thing? Didn't the career coach assigned to you by the system mention any information about it? Although I should have more channels to get information than you, I am not a legal system! I don't have to gather information to know that, and there's no reason why you shouldn't be clear, Rielly. Barrett looked at Rieley with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Could it be that you failed to please your career mentor?" ”

Rielly was completely sunk this time, and she shook her head as she pulled a chair and leaned on it: "No! There was no mention of anything like that at all. Obviously, I was able to impart a rare ability to chase schools, which means that I have already done a good job in the mission. But there is really no news about this aspect. ”

"In that case, I'll tell you about it!" Seeing a somewhat depressed Rieli, Barrett found a place to sit down and began his own science popularization: "In fact, some academic teachers in the Silver City-State have broken through this restriction hundreds of years ago. However, the methods used at that time were not efficient, and it was difficult to use the middle and low levels. It has always been in a state of real yàn room. But after the next few hundred years of exhibition. Finally, a breakthrough in practical application was made one hundred and twenty-three years ago......"

However, this newly broken through technology immediately became a secret method for the Silver City-State to press the bottom of the box. It has indeed helped the mages of the Silver City-State to make a name for themselves.

Since it has such an amazing effect. In addition to the mages of the silver city-state, there are also mage organizations, how can they not peek into such a secret art. However, the silver city-state deserves to be called the holy land of the arcane power of the main plane, and the strict protection measures and the strong dimensional will contract make those who peep all return.

Now that the way to steal ready-made technical data has been blocked, the capable mage organizations have chosen the path of independent research. After all, in the hundreds of years before these secret techniques matured, the theories related to them were still scattered through academic exchanges, and there were bits and pieces of words - some basic theories that had not yet produced results could not be compared with specific results.

After collecting the communication notes of predecessors, several large organizations also cobbled together a complete theory and some rather limited preliminary test reports. Based on this, he began to embark on his own research path.

The avenue is easy to obtain, but the small art is difficult to find, and this sentence is true everywhere. Just as the distance of the atomic bomb can be clearly written in high school textbooks, there are several countries that can actually build nuclear weapons.

However, under such a large-scale investment, there will always be successful ones - several large 6 mage organizations with abundant resources and strong strength. Of course, there are also powerful churches. Just like the nuclear states of the old era, long-term big investments can always see some kind of consequences.

Today, this technology is no longer a monopoly of any one company - it has changed from an exclusive monopoly to a large number of common trusts. However, for ordinary mages, the more channels they can obtain, the better.

After hearing Barrett's story, Rielly lowered her head and thought for a moment. Because of her silence, the atmosphere in the room also became a little stagnant.

Master Liangjiu finally broke his previous silence: "My previous professional mentor was also a wild mage, so it must be for this reason that he didn't tell me about it!" Even after joining those large organizations, you won't be able to see this kind of secret art without paying a sufficient price. In the same way, most of the people I came into contact with later were wild mage groups, and it is normal for the news in this area to be biased. ”

Is this also known as information asymmetry? If I'm also a spellcaster, you've probably thought you didn't get any news about it! Barrett nodded understandingly. The different identities and positions of the two parties in the game are an important reason for this misunderstanding between the two directors.

To put it bluntly, there is a huge chasm between the nobles and commoners in the game. From the acquisition of knowledge, the distribution of benefits, to the channels of information, there are vastly different - even artificial walls. Barrett was able to stumble upon the news. But Rieli hadn't heard anything after trying hard.

Of course, if Barrett was also a mage, he should have thought about Rielly's lack in this area a long time ago. But Barrett, who took the kitchen knife route both in the test and in the game, obviously didn't notice this - the interlacing is like a mountain!

Rielie analyzes Barrett's message a little. Immediately, he came to this conclusion with some self-deprecation: "It seems that in addition to the academic mutual aid organization such as the Volume Society, I am afraid that I still have to find a big boss to squeeze myself!" ”

"If you're looking for that kind of mysticism, joining a large mage organization is certainly the best option. However, that kind of arcane art is not completely costless to use, and to cast a spell, you need to pay double the spell slot of the opposing school's spell. Barrett said as if he was persuading, "In short, the choice of what path to take in the future is in the hands of Rielly."

As in the past, when a mage decides to specialize in a particular school, he must choose two opposing schools. It represents sacrificing knowledge of one sorcery area in favor of mastering another completely. However, after so many years of development, the mages did not have to completely abandon the mages of those two schools and pay other costs.

With the right arcane spells, if you want to prepare a spell of the opposing school, you must pay twice as much spell slot as the same level. For example: A mage who chooses Plastic Energy as the opposing school needs to use 2 level 3 spells to prepare Fireball. Other than that. When a pre-requisite for mastering a mage requires a magic item for legislation. It's not about a sure failure like in the past, but the chance of success will be about 20 percent less.

Just when the players in the Scroll Academy were struggling with troublesome spell problems. On the square outside the headquarters of the Iron Riding City Branch of the Scroll Society, a carriage parked in front of the Chamber of Commerce began to start slowly.

At least twenty or thirty of these common commercial carriages could be found in the Iron Riding City - they were stored for the purpose of bringing dignity to the merchants who passed through. After all, not many people run around with a well-looking carriage on the way to the business, and many times they need to show their identity when they enter the city.

In the shroud of the moonlight, the carriage "clicked" and collided with the rigidity on the road with a crisp sound. After passing through several thriving neighborhoods full of nightlife, until you entered the edge of the city that was completely shrouded in darkness, a slightly hoarse voice came from the night: "Stop." ”

With the sound, the carriage came to a halt after a short pause. A man in a cloak leaps from the carriage, and the wide cloak is able to cover the user from head to toe even in such a movement. And the hood attached to the cloak. In the raging north wind, his face was still tightly covered.

The man walked into the side alley with a covered lantern in his hand. The alleys of the old town are characterized by being deep and rugged, and at the same time full of forks in the road. The man walked in the alley for almost half an hour before he came out of another alley.

At the mouth of the alley, where few people noticed, there was another carriage. Unlike before, the windows of the carriage were covered by thick curtains, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

The cloaked man approached the coachman, pulled out a sign, and handed it over. The fellow, who was also completely shrouded in a cloak, carefully checked the sign in his hand, and then made a gesture of please.

The cloaked man, who had received permission, boarded the carriage. When the door opened, the figure in the car also appeared in his sight. There were already one person on each side of the seats, but more space was empty.

The man in the cloak, who sat down in the empty seat next to the door, closed the door casually. In the light of the carriage, a surprising scene appeared, and under the hood of the cloak appeared not a human face but a nightingale mask.

As the doors closed, the carriage began to take off. Several people in the carriage were talking in this mobile environment.

The last person to get on the bus said in a somewhat uneasy tone: "The situation is not good! The twin serpents planted in the Scroll Society are probably exposed today. ”

"I said, why did you send a message so suddenly today, let us meet a few times. It turned out that there was such a strict thing. But are the twin snakes really exposed? Do you have evidence or your own speculation. "Sitting across from the man in the cloak who was the first to speak, the dimly discerning fellow. Questioned in a slightly higher tone.

"Although there is no direct evidence, the hands and feet of the five-colored dragon god's commission have been exposed. Something unusual happened to the Nosaiah family's message for help. Today during the day, there was already a lot of uproar in the reading hall of the Book Society. The cloaked man, who had given the news at the beginning, paused slightly, "According to the original rules, if this happens, the two snakes should contact me as soon as nightfall." But by the time the deadline had passed, none of them had come out. So I think something happened to them. ”

Then a voice appeared next to the cloaked man, who had just left from the vicinity of the Scroll Society's stronghold: "That means you don't have conclusive evidence!" What you are saying now is nothing more than your own speculation. Maybe the two of them haven't been exposed yet, but it's just that it's temporarily inconvenient to go out so as not to arouse the suspicion of others. ”

Another man in black, who was sitting on the same side as him, was dressed in black and immediately refuted someone's argument. However, this kind of discourse is not so much a rational question, but it looks more like a deliberate demolition.

"Are you going to dive into the Dome Society to make sure? If that's the case, I'm waiting for your good news. "The reporter who was deliberately targeted spoke aggressively.

However, the guy who had just been dismantled was not fooled, and began to take the opportunity to sarcastically: "Isn't it your job to be in charge of their liaison management?" Why are you ready for me to do something wrong? Are you shirking your responsibilities or admitting that you are not as capable as me. ”

"If it weren't for the damn commission you undertook. Nor is that the case today. I think it was a mistake to take on this task before. The mission itself may be a conspiracy by some against us. I questioned this risky behaviour at the beginning. But you use the text given above to ask for enforcement. It's still in my hands. The man in the cloak, who hadn't yet heated his ass, also began his own counterattack.

At this time, the high voice that had been silent for a long time reappeared: "Male. Are you skeptical of your decision? Maybe you've forgotten something, do you need me to help you remember it again? ”

"My lord! I don't dare. Although I couldn't see the man's expression in the cloak, I could tell from the sincere fear in his voice that his fear was from the heart.

"Just don't you dare?" The woman in the shadows, sitting across from the cloaked man and the man in black, seemed to have a hint of anger in her words.

This made the cloaked man's body tremble irregularly. He was holding his arms tightly with both hands, his nails digging deep into the not-so-thick clothing on his body—as if trying to suppress his fear through the pain.

"Punish you for your mistake this time, wait until the whole thing is settled." The woman protected by the shadows exclaimed, "Remember. The order from above is beyond doubt. What you see as right and wrong is worthless to the big guys above. Now the question that needs to be investigated is what happened to the twin snakes. Is it exposed? If you expose it, you have already used your special abilities. And now they are dead or alive. ”

"If it's just to confirm if it's exposed, we'll just have to wait. If there is no news from those two after three days, then it can basically be confirmed that they have been charged. "The man in the cloak said as if he had broken the jar.

Perhaps in his opinion, it would have been a calamity for him to be forced to assign the kind of task that would inevitably be exposed. Since some people in front of him are still ready to take this opportunity to fall into the trap for themselves. Then it is not difficult to understand the idea of going with the flow and waiting for something big to happen, and several people will die together.

"Palgrave, what's your attitude?" The man in black couldn't help but call the man in the cloak by his name. Apparently right, this kind of expression xiàn, instinctively sensed danger. Danger that threatens one's own interests.

Palgrave, who seemed to have given up, spread his hands: "I admit that I don't have the ability to infiltrate the Iron Riding City Chapter of the Scroll Society to investigate the truth of the matter. So be prepared to plead guilty to the organization and wait for the fall from above. I'll leave the rest to the two of you. ”

"Male? That's the decision you made? You should understand what you're doing. The female voice in the words became sharper, and it seemed that the woman with a slightly higher status was really angry.

"Of course I understand what I'm doing. What if I try to remedy this kind of thing? Without this ability, it will only cause greater losses, and it is better to stop there. Palgrave's words were clear that he would no longer take any more risks on this issue and instead chose to survive like a gecko.

The woman in the shadows laughed angrily: "Huh! Scold! Do you think this will alleviate your guilt? ”

"Nope! But it doesn't add any more to my guilt. That must be a death-defying action. It's just that I'll never be able to turn over. "Palgrave, who has been with the organization for many years, sees very clearly what is best for him.

Palgrave in front of him made it clear that it was either everyone working together to make amends. Either I'll die, and you guys won't be able to think about a good stance. The other two in the carriage hesitated, they didn't want to be implicated by this.

After a long silence, the man in black couldn't bear it at first: "If the three of us use the power we have, together we should be able to investigate this matter from the scroll under our noses." (To be continued!)
