Chapter 709 [Illusion and Assassination]
At the end of the passage, He Ping finally came to a decent place, it was a hall built underground, the area is not small, the facilities are complete, there are many other passages around, it seems that this is a large underground stronghold, I don't know if this stronghold is the only one, or if Antinoya brought the habit of drow elves to build dungeons to live in the Black Thorns, and even the various branches with Black Thorns have also adopted the method of building strongholds underground.
This underground hall seems to be a business hall, with a circle-shaped long table in the middle, and there are a lot of chairs inside, which should be the location of the business personnel, and He Ping also saw the magic screen made by alchemy, at this time there was a lot of content flashing on the screen, He Ping glanced at it casually, and found that it was all the task status of Black Thorns, and in other areas of the hall, there were a lot of tables and chairs, which should be a place for the client and the members of Black Thorns to rest and gather.
Of course, these are not the key, He Ping's attention did not stay in these areas for long, as soon as he entered the hall, most of his attention was attracted by the five people sitting inside the circle table, sitting in the middle is a typical female Treiris elf, with a soft appearance and a gentle smile on her face, on her left and right, there is a female drow elf and a female Sindar elf, and on the outermost side, of course, there is a female Kadore elf and a half-orc shaman.
These five people sat in the center of the hall with a big grin, without any anxious and fearful expressions, looking very calm, and in the hall, except for the five of them, there was no one else, it was difficult not to notice, the appearance of these five people, and the image given by the system in the wanted list. There is no suspense, these are the remaining five masters of the Relian's division mentioned by Dominic earlier.
When these five people saw He Ping breaking in, they didn't have the slightest panicked look, and they still sat there, which is also very understandable, He Ping just broke Lilith's illusion enchantment, and then solved the ordinary members of the two teams of Black Thorns, and killed Dominic, although Dominic is barely a master, but it is difficult to control his strength. The combat power is ranked the lowest among all the six masters, He Ping's previous record, any one of the five of them can be completed, and now the five of them are together, even if the elf elders come in person, they also have the power to fight, so they are naturally not afraid of He Ping.
"Is your Excellency the mysterious merchant of the Melliane Forest?" Lilith, who sat in the middle, spoke first, and said in Sindari's language, "Your Excellency was able to get here, which means that Dominica's idiot has failed?" Hehe. Sure enough, for a real master, Dominic is still a bit underwhelming, if he can control the madness. Maybe we still have the strength to fight, but a war lord who has no power but doesn't know how to control it is no different from a beast. ”
I have to say, Lilith's voice is very good. Originally, the elves were very in line with He Ping's aesthetics, and the two languages of the elves were full of rhythm and beauty. In addition, there is a trace of tenderness and softness in the voice of the Tlerie elf, which makes people unconsciously fall into it after listening to it, and He Ping is no exception, but soon, he came back to his senses, Lilith was already using illusion when he said this, and the reason why he felt that this voice made him deeply trapped and unable to extricate himself was because of illusion at work.
He Ping once again saw the formlessness of illusion, although he himself is also an expert in the use of illusion, but he has no actual combat experience, everything is just empty talk, he will use illusion, but in what kind of situation to use what kind of illusion, this is very particular, and these, for He Ping, who has almost no experience in illusion actual combat, is the biggest shortcoming, but for Lilith, the use of illusion has long been integrated into her life like eating and sleeping, and every move can become the introduction of illusion, you can activate illusions anytime, anywhere.
And Lilith was a little surprised to see that He Ping only sank a little when the illusion was just launched, and then quickly got rid of the illusion, she was also a little surprised, she could be regarded as having fought countless times, and there were many masters she faced, but there were very few who could get rid of the illusion so quickly, before, it was only when she fought against those high-level illusionists of the Treiris elves, but it was still that problem, He Ping didn't look like a Treiris elf no matter how she looked at it.
However, He Ping just got rid of the illusion, and did not dare to make other moves, when dealing with the illusionist before, He Ping was still able to use illusion countermeasures very highly, so that the illusionist fell for his illusion instead, but when facing Lilith, He Ping did not dare to play like this, Lilith's attainments in illusion were even higher than He Ping, if He Ping did not use illusion to counteract, then the most likely thing to happen was that He Ping thought that he had controlled Lilith with illusion, But in reality, he was controlled by Lilith's illusion and fell into hallucinations without realizing it.
"Hehe, sure enough, there are two hits, and they can directly resist the president's illusion." This time, it became the drow elf assassin "Shadow Ghost" Serena next to Lilith, although He Ping had already seen her appearance clearly and determined her identity when she first came in, but at this time, He Ping was just distracted for a moment because of illusion, and when he looked at her again, He Ping found that no matter how he adjusted the focus of his eyes, he saw Serena as a blur, as if she was short-sighted, but maybe Serena had no intention of hiding her breath for the time being, and her sense of presence was very obvious.
Isn't an Assassin who has a clear presence and a vague figure that is not completely hidden, when there are other people around, show that he is different and attract the attention of the other person? As an assassin, you should downplay your presence, isn't there something wrong with Serena's performance at this time? At the moment when He Ping thought so, an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, and behind him, a trace of extremely subtle murderous aura appeared!
He Ping didn't dare to think about it, and immediately rolled to the side, and at the same time as he rolled and dodged, a figure appeared where he was standing, it was Selina who held a pitch-black dagger in each hand, and next to Lilith, the vague figure of Serena sitting on the chair gradually disappeared, and finally disappeared completely.
