Chapter 13: The Shadows
On the way, Triste tells Martin what they have learned about Bull Blackrobe, specifically mentioning the recent adventure of the "Shark", which gave them a real understanding of Bull Blackrobe......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The "shark" crept forward, making no louder noises than a cat in a sneaking state. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yes, he is now advancing among enemy buildings. Although he knew that there were a large number of his own people lurking not far from the building, even though he was an experienced wanderer. But at the moment he is still a little nervous, because the stakes are high.
But nervousness is nervousness, and the shark's actions are still perfect, and at his level, the inner tension is difficult to affect the body. Muscles have their own memories and know what to do to make their movements light and silent.
With the team they assembled, it would not be difficult to fight straight in and win. But the enemy will undoubtedly burn all the important documents before they can achieve victory, and it is precisely those documents that the Shark and others are aiming for. So they had to let the sharks venture in and steal those things.
After a long period of advancing, the shark finally reached the core position. There were only three enemies that clashed with the sharks along the way, and they were all easily dealt with by the sharks. Under the fierce attack of the shark, the opponent fell to the ground limply before he even had time to make a call. Later, most of it was dissolved by the shark with a special potion, and then stuffed into a special dimensional bag. In fact, there are not only three enemies encountered by the shark along the way, but most of the opponents are bodyguards such as minotaurs, trolls and other monsters, and they are fooled by the shark. The three unlucky ones were all humans, and they were killed by the shark when they saw that they didn't belong here. "The intelligence is correct, the enemy's combat power here is mostly maintained by monsters or golems, etc. The shark thought to himself. Then he set out to dismantle the complex set of mechanisms.
Magic isn't bad in this world, but archmages sometimes tend to use traps when it comes to keeping important items. The reason is simple, they are worried that others will use some "violent" methods to break magical protection, such as the Anti-Magic Stone, which can create a small area of dead magic. It is for this reason that the shark has a chance to steal the documents. Of course, the other party uses traps and magic to double protect them. But when the shark attached the special ring that Trieste had given him to the magic circle, magic was no longer a problem for the sharks.
The process of disarming the mechanism is tedious, and the shark's movements seem to outsiders to be a bit of a rush. But the shark itself knew that everything was operating normally. He skillfully manipulates special tools made of adamantite or Mithril. The other party's set up mechanism is not difficult for him. Sometimes he poured fire protection potions, reached into the magma to disarm the mechanisms hidden underneath, and sometimes used his tongue, a sensitive part of his body, to feel the opponent's mechanisms and decide what to do.
A quarter of an hour later, he disarmed all the mechanisms, pocketed the important papers, and turned to walk out.
Then he heard footsteps moving.
He didn't have time to think about what he had gone wrong and attracted enemies. He immediately twisted the other ring on his hand to signal the assault to his partners outside, and on the other hand softly charged towards the approaching enemies. Now he is on his own. As he approached the enemy, he had quickly changed his equipment, from rings to gloves. Now, he's going to transform from a secret thief into a fearsome hunter.
After turning a doorway, he saw the frightened face of his opponent, and the other party never expected that this rat who fell into the trap would actually take the initiative to rush out to fight. The other side is a mage and two guards. The shark moved quickly, and a pair of "betrayers" silently slipped through his sleeves and into his palms. In the next second, the shark had already separated the opponent's long sword with the short sword in his left hand, and grazed the short sword in his right hand past the edge of the shield, piercing the heart of one of the guards. Another guard quickly slashed the tomahawk at the shark, but was stopped by the shark with its corpse.
The enemy mage was also an adventurer who had been born and died many times, and he moved backwards with a quick step, pulling out materials and chanting incantations. The shark saw it, but could only stab the guard with his dagger, forcing him to stop his attack and dodge. Otherwise, the guard might have cut off the shark's head.
The enemy mage stopped chanting and shot a pea-sized fireball. "Hmph, it turned out to be a small role. The shark thought as he slammed his dagger at the guards like a storm.
Seeing the mage shoot the fireball like that, the guard's face turned earthy, and he lost his cool and immediately had his throat slit open by the shark. At the same time, a pea-sized fireball smashed down on the shark, rapidly growing and growing in size, drowning everything.
Fireball is a good spell to use, especially when it's more powerful!, the mage thought, preparing his next spell to strike a blow at his dying foe. But he was surprised to see a silhouette emerge from the fireball. He hurriedly unleashed a scorching ray, only to be dodged by his opponent. Then, the pair of daggers, known as "The Betrayers", cut a cross-shaped wound in his throat. The mage looked at the shark in disbelief, holding his throat with one hand and pointing at the shark with the other. The gushing blood stopped his words.
Unfortunately, the flames caused by the Fireball spell drowned out the blue light that had just flashed when resisting the spell due to the spell resistance. The hapless mage didn't notice that.
Then, the shark picked up the mage's staff, and at this critical juncture, he had to scavenge for loot, for the simple reason that it was a secondary supermagic scepter. "They're pretty rich. The shark muttered as he hurried out.
Another group of enemies is coming, a group of goblins. The shark chuckled and rushed over. Easily stab your enemies with a short sword, or simply slit arteries. He deftly dodges enemy attacks, twisting his body out of shape as he dodges. Sometimes it's hard to dodge, and he simply lets his enemies hit him, only to kill them every time. The sophisticated Mithril armor combined with the shark's ability to unload the weapon that hits it makes it useless to hit the shark.
As the shark's feet were covered with corpses, he saw a human figure run away, and he shot a throwing knife at the man's back, only to be bounced off by the man's armor. The shark turned and walked to the left of the man. There is no point in chasing down that person at the moment, and meeting up with his comrades as soon as possible is the key.
When the third wave of enemies appeared, the shark couldn't help but start admiring the enemy. When the enemy learns that the shark is a wanderer who uses a short sword to attack vital points to kill people, they send golems and undead creatures.
Angular-shaped golems appear alongside twisted undead creatures, ready to take out the intruder. But the shark laughed straight out loud this time. The "Betrayer" silently disappeared into his sleeve, and two light hammers slid out of it.
Golems and undead are sent out by the enemy because these two types of monsters do not have major arteries or eye sockets. Shortswords are also distinctly difficult to deal with steel, clay, and rotting flesh. The enemy didn't intend to use them to destroy the sharks, they just wanted them to entangle them.
But when the shark rushes into the horde like a whirlwind, he proves how ridiculous the enemy's ideas are. Destroying the Hammer is a great deal against constructs, and the Disintegrating Hammer is the nemesis of the undead. In the blink of an eye, the shark took out the opponent and rushed to the next room.
When the Shark rounded his teammates after a twist and turn, he knew that the situation was clear and victory was not far off. If the enemy does not surrender, let him perish! With this in mind, they began to launch an even more fierce attack on the enemy. In front of the well-trained and well-coordinated squad, the monsters unleashed by the enemy seemed so weak. Trolls possess terrifying regenerative abilities, but when swords mixed with acid and flame are harnessed by a master, they are no better than lambs under the butcher's knife. The Minotaur Collision is terrifying, but with the combination of the spider web technique and the greasy technique, it is still easy to solve. Soon after, the side of justice won the victory. The sharks and their teammates got what they needed.
When Triste finished telling the shark's adventures, Martin came up with an assessment that she was better than Canion's storytelling.
Tracer then tells Martin the meaning of the documents they have found.
"There is a shady curtain in our troubled world that seeks to cover the entire continent, and according to our analysis of the documents obtained, Blackrobe Bull is not the main messenger of that shady curtain. ”
That was enough for Martin to understand the seriousness of the matter. Being able to instruct a mage who can perform ninth-level magic, then that shady curtain must have extremely amazing power.
"From what we've got, Black-robed Bull is going on a long ritual. That is, he was mixed there. Triste continued. So our goal is to destroy him, in addition to avenging the sacrifices of those who have died in the past. It can also destroy the plan of the shady curtain and eliminate the black robe, which is also a major blow to that shady curtain. ”
"So, now, do you want to join in this righteous cause?" said Triste at last.
After a moment's thought, Martin looked up and said, "I'm really honored that you have placed such trust in me. I accept your invitation. ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― this time the word count has become less ......
I realized that I really needed to learn more......
I complained so much about the back of the last chapter, but in fact, isn't it just the difference between high literature and popular literature?
However, I can't even write characters in 2D, so why not write in 3D.
I found that I had ambitions, and I just wanted to write a simple adventure story. There's a lot of stuff trying to get in these days......
Two more pits are planned to be opened recently, one is the Paladin Zepas series. "The Melancholy of the Holy Warrior Zephas" you should have seen it. The materials for "The Boredom of Paladin Zefas" have been almost collected, so I will start writing it immediately. "The Rampage of the Holy Samurai Zephas" and "The Surprise of the Holy Samurai Zefas" have been conceived. In addition, it is planned to write the story of a junior adventure party who venture out on the land of Lasia, and the first chapter should be called "The Adventures of Puningna"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Anyway, I've called the nobles despised recently, first of all, someone asked me in the QQ group, whether I have a title. Then he said that his PC's uncle had a British knighthood. In this regard, I sarcastically said, "It is said that it is the ......daughter of the nephew of the mother-in-law after the marriage of the sister of the secretary of the female Taoist priest of Tianzhang Temple" (this sentence is from "I am a cat")
As a result, the other party became angry and said, "The sadness of a bad family." You are too far from what is usually reputed to be a superstructure. So much so that you don't believe this thing exists. So you just take your time and beg. ”
Then he said, "It's not too rare to socialize with the superstructure, oh no, it's not uncommon in our field of vision, and for you, it's probably a probability of an alien invasion, right?." So what do you have to say? Civilians go and live the life that civilians should live, don't think about these nonsense. ”
―――――――――――――――――――――
At that moment, his whole body was Japanese-Chinese......
"Civilians go and live the life that civilians should live, don't think about these vain. ”
This sentence is really classic!
