Chapter 17: Squatting Technique
In the world of The Elder Scrolls, there is a feature that whether it is a dungeon, a cave, or an ancient tomb, there is always a secret passage at the end of the tunnel.
When they came out of the secret passage behind the cave, Zhang Lin and the others came to a cliff on the west side of the Hanluo Mountain Range, and below the mountain was a huge lake, which was rippling silver in the moonlight. A silver moon in the night sky, accompanied by the brilliant aurora in the northern sky, constitutes a beautiful night scene in the sky.
After working for a long time and experiencing a lot of battles, looking at the distant scenery from a high place at this time suddenly made people feel relaxed, and the mental exhaustion was swept away.
At this moment, the position of the moon should have been shortly after nightfall, and Zhang Lin finally remembered that he had promised Larov that they would go back before dinner, but now it seemed to be too late.
Fortunately, the branch of the lake below was the small river next to Ximu Town, and the three of them came to the bottom of the mountain at a faster speed than when they went up, and they didn't walk long along the small river before they saw the fire of Ximu Town.
When he came to the gate of the town, he saw that Ralov had organized a group of young and strong townspeople, who were about to set off with torches and weapons, and when they saw the three people returning, they excitedly greeted them.
After asking, I found out that because the three of them had been gone for so long and had not returned, and there was a noise that even Ximu Town could hear from the ancient tomb before nightfall, out of concern for them, Larov organized a group of people to prepare to go up the mountain to find them, because the little Lori had helped a lot in the town, and everyone had a good impression of this cute little girl, so there were many people who responded.
However, seeing that the three of them had returned safely, the townspeople dispersed after a few words of greeting, leaving only Larov alone to accompany Zhang Lin and them to the grocery store.
When I came to the door of the grocery store, I heard the boss Lukan and his sister Kemira arguing about something again, it seemed that because it was late, Lukan wanted to close the store door and go back to rest, but Kemira insisted on waiting for Zhang Lin and the three to come back and refused to close the door.
Just when Zhang Lin and the others stepped into the grocery store, they didn't even raise their heads when they were busy arguing with their sister, so they said, "Please go out, we are going to close, and if you have anything to buy, you will come back tomorrow." ”
Fortunately, Kemira noticed who the person who came in, so she ran over excitedly, squatted down and hugged little Lori, and kissed her little face: "Thank God, you came back safely, Alice, you are not injured, right?" If you don't find something, it doesn't matter. ”
"It's all right, Sister Camilla! And we got the stuff back. ”
was suddenly kissed on the face, and little Lori was still a little shy, and broke free from Kemira's arms with a red face.
Zhang Lin took out the golden dragon claw from the package and was about to hand it to Kemira, but the roadside behind the counter suddenly ran over, snatched the golden dragon claw in his hand, and looked at it several times, very excited.
"Ahh My darling, I'm going to hang it back up! ”
After speaking, Lu Kan ran upstairs with the golden dragon claw, Zhang Lin was completely speechless for such a superb person, and he didn't even say a word of thanks.
Seeing that Lu Kan prevented his sister from looking for the Golden Dragon Claw, Zhang Lin thought that he didn't value the Golden Dragon Claw much, but now it seems that this person is just reluctant to let his sister take risks, and other people's lives are not worth mentioning compared to his treasure.
"I'm sorry, but my brother has a bad personality." Seeing her brother's behavior like this, Kemira was also a little embarrassed: "For your help, I will give you a satisfactory reward." ”
After saying that, Kemira turned and went into the counter, rummaged through it, and continued: "You can also see what is in the store, you can pick one, and I will give it to you." ”
Zhang Lin didn't want to say anything more now, after all, as civilized people, we can't be angry with others at will, so we browsed in front of the shelves in the store.
And the two of them, Lori and Kexia, took out the things that will be purchased here in today's harvest for Kemira to evaluate, and looking at their excitement, the total value should be a lot.
Although Creekwood is a small town, this grocery store has a wide range of goods, from daily necessities to alchemy medicines, all kinds of materials, and even a few entry-level spell books.
Looking at it, Zhang Lin squatted down in front of a shelf, picked up a delicate knife placed on it, and observed it carefully.
This knife was only the size of his index finger, and the slender knife body was carved with exquisite lines, which looked more like a work of art than a weapon, but Zhang Lin tried to cut a knife on the wooden shelf, but it was very sharp, and there was no trace of resistance at all, which made him immediately interested in this thing.
"Eh, where's the master?"
Just when Zhang Lin decided to ask for this knife, suddenly the figure of little Lori came from behind him, thinking that he was not here, and he turned around and stood up without running.
"Wow! The owner popped up out of nowhere! Little Lori looked at Zhang Lin with a surprised face, which made him a little strange, he had never left, where did the statement suddenly come from.
Little Lori ran over quickly and touched Zhang Lin's body: "Master, how did you do it, I didn't see you just now, and suddenly I could see it again, is this a new trick?" Can you teach me? ”
Zhang Lin is really strange now, he was just squatting in front of the shelves just now, is he invisible in the eyes of little Lori?
So Zhang Lin squatted back and forth a few times in front of the little Lori, but this time the little Lori could see him again, and squatted with him with a novel face, thinking that this was a new technique that could make him disappear.
In this way, it seems that things are a little strange, squatting does not bring invisible effects, and Zhang Lin also noticed that there is still only a lone double flying slash on his talent tree, and there is no more appearance of other skills.
"What are you doing?" At this time, with the reward from Kemira in one hand and the harvest of some of the spoils of this afternoon's resale in the other, Kashia walked towards the two masters and servants who were happily squatting and playing.
"When I was squatting over there just now, Alice said she didn't see me, but as soon as I stood up, she could see again, I wondered if I had some extra stealth skills, but it seems to be ineffective now."
"Maybe it's not stealth, but something else?" After listening to Zhang Lin's words, Kexia thought for a while and gave a new view.
By the way, if it's not stealth, then what else could it be?
After Kexia's reminder, Zhang Lin thought of a possibility, so he asked Xiao Lori and Kexia to turn their backs to him, and then he squatted down again.
This time, after the two people who didn't hear any noise behind them turned around, they didn't find Zhang Lin squatting close in front of them, just like Zhang Lin was a ball of air at this time.
It wasn't until Zhang Lin stood up again that they asked him to explain the reason with a surprised face.
"It should be that I can eliminate my presence by squatting down without others noticing, so that people can't notice me at all."
Although this ability is slightly insufficient in some aspects with real stealth, it can be regarded as a magic skill on the other hand, because it eliminates the sense of existence, even if you do something, it is very likely that it will not be noticed, and the key is that this ability is still passive.
And this new passive effect, nine times out of ten, is the extra ability after upgrading, now Zhang Lin finally feels that the system is not completely cheating him, but it seems that this is to let him go to the dark on the road of thieves, but it's still cool to think about.
Just thinking about it, Zhang Lin suddenly found that little Lori and Kexia looked at him with a very strange look, and it felt like he had done something bad.
"Eh, do you think I'm going to do something weird with this power?" When he suddenly thought of what their eyes meant, Zhang Lin hurriedly defended.
"Hmph, the master is a pervert, and it's not impossible to do something strange with this ability." Little Lori's voice fell, Zhang Lin felt that he was suddenly struck by thunder, and Kexia's eyes were even stranger when he looked at him.
"Did you pick what you wanted?" Fortunately, at this time, Kemira's voice relieved Zhang Lin's embarrassment, and she didn't notice what had just happened when she had just sorted out the goods.
Fortunately, he was not discovered, but Zhang Lin was still very worried about whether he would be blacklisted by all the stores in Skyrim if his ability was exposed.
So Zhang Lin immediately picked up the delicate knife and explained that what he wanted was this.
"Oh, it's a piece of art from the Wood Elves, Farndal put it on sale here, it's sharp, but it's too small to be useful, are you sure you need it?" Kemira was a little puzzled, this knife seemed to her to be only a little collectible.
"Yes, that's fine, is there anything extraneous? I could have bought them all. ”
Seeing Zhang Lin's insistence, Kemira no longer persuaded her, but looked for it in the multi-layer locker on the side: "It seems that there are still a few more, I'll look for them." ”
Soon, Kemira took out a delicate small box, opened the lid, and there were 7 knives that were exactly the same as the one in Zhang Lin's hand: "There are only 8 knives in total, since you like it, I'll give it all to you." As he spoke, he handed the small box to Zhang Lin.
Zhang Lin didn't shirk and took it very simply.
Little Lori and Kashia didn't have anything in particular to want, so after picking out two beautiful trinkets at random, the three of them said goodbye to Kemira and left the grocery store, and at this time, Larov, who had gone back to inform Goerdo to warm up another table of dinner, also happened to come back to pick them up.
