Chapter 44: Enter
After listening to the situation described by the mother dwarf, Thomas was about to rush over with the cat, but saw the dwarf fall behind, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Kakawa is counted by the grain, if you find one less, I'll beat you up!"
Tears flashed in the dwarf's eyes: "Dad, you have changed." In the past, you always gave me delicious food first......"
"You don't understand, Kakawa has an aphrodisiac and sexual aid, and children can't eat it casually. ”
Because the dwarf is very intelligent, after seeing that he is not very nervous, Thomas does not trust the exaggerated words of the mother dwarf very much. After running through some tunnels and reaching the entrance of the cave where Slorin was, the dwarf, who was walking agitatedly from side to side, saw his friend coming, and his eyes lit up: "Okay, since you are here, go and kill them!"
"Aren't you about to rush out and be pulled back by several people?" said the mother dwarf, confused.
Slorin grinned shamelessly: "I'm a berserker and I'm not really stupid, there are so many people on the other side, of course I have to wait for the helper to come......"
Thomas leaned over and looked out through the arrow holes, and the other dwarf began to assemble siege engines on the stone wall of the opposite canyon with great fanfare, and obstacles began to be laid at the bottom.
Their movements were already quite light for the dwarves, but in the Ranger's opinion, they were exposed to his fire for most of the time.
"It always felt like something was wrong. The gnome muttered, "Although they are shouting, but ...... But it looks like a deployment for a defensive war?"
"Are you going to lure us to a clearing in the valley where there are no obstacles, and then we can strike at a distance?" said the dwarf, still worried that Slorin would rush out and be surrounded.
"I think they're just underwhelmed!" Slorin snorted.
"But no matter how provocative they are, we can't easily dispatch them, and if we cause casualties, it will be difficult for my uncle!"
"Thomas once said, "If you seek peace through struggle, you will live in peace, and if you seek peace through compromise, you will die in peace!" The dwarf quoted what he thought was Thomas's wise words: "We must first hurt them before they can speak well!"
"I'm thinking...... Kuhl is such a smart man," Thomas thought as he thought about it, "and after spending a few days here, you should be able to see our weakness, right?"
"So the correct way for them to attack should be to swagger over?" the dwarf scratched his beard.
Without answering, Thomas asked him in turn: "Do you feel that the decision to fight...... What are the conditions for winning or losing a war?"
"Of course, it is to concentrate the number and strength of the strong in a unit time and unit area?" the dwarf frowned: "Didn't you say it several times? Miscellaneous soldiers are useless, even warriors without area attack spells can defeat a squad in an instant." ”
"In this case, I really don't see the high-end combat power on their side......" The mother dwarf nodded.
"No, their leader, Prico Hammerstone, seems to be there, am I wrong in my guess?" Thomas pointed out to them the figure in black ice armor behind a bunker on the cliff.
The rest of the group narrowed their eyes and tried to look, but they couldn't see clearly.
"Oh. Remembering that other people's eyesight was not as exaggerated as he was, the ranger asked Cortana to take a picture and save it, and took out his phone to show everyone.
The dwarf saw the loophole at a glance: "This armor is not in the right style! Although it is also a full-body armor made of black ice, the style is different from that of Berry!"
“...... , I don't know you dwarves very well. ”
"We don't really understand how you distinguish between big cat breeds. ”
"It's very simple, there are some differences between the front faces of leopards and jaguars, the most obvious is the different patterns on their bodies. The lioness and the mountain lion want to see the tail...... "The ranger was interested and wanted to explain it to the others, but everyone looked indifferent.
Smiling wryly, he looked at the various entrances of the cave from various angles, but did not notice the figures of the Black Ice Master Berryl Hammerstone and Kurgal, but instead saw the Drow Assassin waiting in one of the lowest openings on the opposite level.
Since the last time he was invaded by the Shadow Demon Assassins, Thomas had reminded his Dwarven priest that he had made some more Eternal Torches and placed them in various cave entrances, hoping to turn night into day. Although I don't know if it has been invaded on the other side, there are also some examples, and follow the construction of shadowless lights.
The Drow Assassins were so encompassed that there was no shadow to hide in the night, let alone during the day.
Thomas snickered in his heart, he had a leg with the Sun God Amanata Church, and he was naturally very unhappy with the Netherworld and other people who used shadow energy, especially when the rangers couldn't hide out of thin air with the shadows.
The Drow Assassin snuggled up to the inside of the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, reading with his back to this side, revealing only his black night coat and two blue daggers at his waist, looking very leisurely. The ranger looked over a few places, but he didn't see the female mage.
With the answer already in mind, Thomas returned to the arrow hole where Slorin and the others were: "I want to go over there and reconnoitre." ”
"Are you crazy? thieves who die every year from solo reconnaissance can walk around Neverwinter hand in hand!" said the gnome without hesitation.
"Second only to the ...... The Kandes of the Feron Circle. He added, "But most of the Kanders are thieves. ”
"I'm not going alone, you're going too!" Thomas grabbed the dwarf by the neck who wanted to slip away: "Plus ninjas, in fact, we are more suitable for covert operations." ”
He smiled at the dwarf, "You should protect your girlfriend here." ”
After finding a cave that was relatively close and repeatedly checked to confirm that Kurgal was not there, Thomas, Barnard, and Baihua quietly ran into the opposite side with the help of the dwarf's invisibility spell.
To be honest, the most feared encounter is actually Kurgal, who always has invisible and arcane vision. The invisible will be directly seen through by her, and the invisible will always have buffs and magic equipment on them. Arcane vision is not detection magic, which can take anywhere from a few seconds to twenty seconds to determine if there is magic in the area, where, what intensity, and what school it is. Arcane vision can be distinguished at a glance, and can even be used to tell if the opponent has the ability to cast spells, whether they are divine or arcane spellcasters.
That's why the assassins didn't backstab the mage like in a folk tale, everything was so easy, they were probably slapped in the face by a spell before they even passed. Assassins wanted to get close to the mage, so they could only use vision.
Thomas ran into the cave in fear, but did not encounter Kurgal until the invisibility spell the gnomes had cast on them failed.
Like a light breeze, the three of them quietly came to a room.
Baihua shook his nose: "The smell of female naked apes here is very strong. ”
Thomas slapped her, causing Blossoms to silently lash out at him.
"This should be the room in Kurgal. Whispering to the dwarf, he listened carefully: "There seems to be no one breathing in the room. ”
Barnard nodded, looked up and down, found no traps, and turned on the detection magic to scan it again before putting on his gloves and gently pushing the door open.
