Early the next morning, Anonymous appeared in front of Zuo Ci, who was having breakfast, without surprise, and unceremoniously announced today's plan: "The easy and simple day has passed, are you ready for a bigger challenge?" When you're done with breakfast, I'll take you to learn the art of shadow escape. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zuo Ci continued to eat his food with a blank face, as a sign that he accepted the black-clothed swordsman's proposal......

After breakfast, the two walked out of the hotel gate one after the other, and walked into the British fog that filled the steel fortress, Zuo Ci began to silently follow the figure of the black-clothed swordsman again.

Through the whole day of running around yesterday, Zuo Ci had a basic understanding of the terrain of the Steel Fortress, so after following a few steps, he knew that Anonymous was going to take him to the military area. Climbing over the walls, running to the bell tower, and passing through the strange plane of floating parts from the top, the two of them finally made it to the woods of the Brown Castle area once again.

At this time, Zuo Ci began to understand why Anonymous would be so confident at the beginning and said, [Without my help, with your current ability, it is estimated that it would take more than half a year to achieve it...... Indeed, just finding Brown Castle, which is so hidden, is enough for him to keep himself busy for a while, let alone find the characters hidden in it.

Soon, Zuo Ci, under the leadership of Anonymous, came to the forest keeper's hut again.

Pushing open the tin door, the old man was sitting by the fireplace reading a book, and he was not surprised to see the two of them come in, but asked, "Two benefactors, is there anything that can help you?" ”

"Of course, this little brother wants to learn the art of shadow escape, so you will have to worry about it." Anonymous said as he moved out of the way, completely exposing Zuo Ci to the light of the room's lights.

[It turns out that this old man is also a trainer.] Zuo Ci was not surprised, and silently meditated on this fact in his heart, and then continued: "Yes, I need to learn the art of shadow escape. ”

"The art of shadow escape is my family's secret technique, and I don't like to pass it on. When the Phoenix Independence Army failed in its uprising, I was captured by the Iron Lord, and I wasted all my efforts, leaving only the Shadow Escape Technique hidden deep in my body, which became a secret that I did not know. How did you know this secret? It's really weird......" The old man muttered with surprise on his face.

Zuo Ci immediately glanced at Anonymous, who was still smiling on his face.

Anonymous spoke at this time: "We have helped you with two missions in a row before, and we know most of your secrets, and now we accept him as an apprentice, and it is not too much to teach secret arts, and we will not lose any of your reward." So saying, he handed over 10 gold.

The old man nodded, immediately agreed with Anonymous's statement, then put away the gold coin he handed over, walked in front of Zuo Ci and said, "Since this is the case, then let's start." ”

Just as Zuo Ci said "hmm" and counted it as an answer, he saw that Old Man Lin had already put the palm of his right hand on his forehead.

Zuo Ci reflexively closed his eyes, and a warm current rushed through every cell in his body, and the world also switched to a martial arts training ground like a phoenix-patterned stone pillar in an instant.

Without waiting for Zuo Ci to observe the terrain left and right, the old man spoke: "The Shadow Escape Technique is one of the most practical skills for thieves and assassin professional adventurers, it allows you to teleport in the shadow of people or things, as long as there is a shadow within a fixed distance within the line of sight, you can teleport. The initial perception range is only 10 meters, and as you grow in proficiency, the range you can perceive teleportation will become larger and larger, perhaps 50 meters, 100 meters, or even thousands of meters. ”

Zuo Ci nodded, counting as a promise.

So, the old man continued: "The most important thing in learning and training the art of shadow escape is talent, and observation and action are all part of talent. When you need to activate this technique, in addition to reciting the spell silently, you must concentrate and calm your mind, and put all your spiritual power on the point where you want to teleport over, so that the cells of your whole body are dismantled into powder, fused into the air, and transformed into invisible...... Okay, I'm going to demo it now. ”

After speaking, the old man put the middle and index fingers of his right hand together and placed them between his lips, and circles of black incantations immediately emerged from his mouth, wrapped around his fingertips, and finally disappeared in a flash. Everything happened in a second, the old man turned into a black shadow and disappeared in an instant, but his voice suddenly came from behind Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci turned around and saw the old man appear in the shadow of the pillar behind him.

"The mantra I need to teach you is already present in your mind and integrated into your body the moment you enter this training world, you just need to release it as I demonstrated, and move with full attention to the selected area of the shadow. Remember that this process needs to be repeated for each transfer, and if you need to move continuously, it will require a high level of reflexes and split-second planning, which will take time to practice. ”

"Understood." Zuo Ci replied lightly, closed his eyes, and began to meditate on the mantra that had been integrated into the blood when he entered, and sure enough, the black mantra wheels tightly wound themselves in his brain.

He digested it with a frown, and as he opened his eyes, he had already chosen the shadow of the stone pillar at three o'clock. The right finger was already standing in the center of his lips to draw out the dark spell that swirled in his heart, and there were almost no obstacles, and the unsmiling man turned into a black shadow.
