Chapter Thirty-Nine: The World's Arcane Shines Out of the Dust!
The port of Noyer is currently the only city on Earth that has the potential to develop into a base area, so the investment can be said to be bloody, and every soldier who comes to Gorantia will always have at least a mass-produced tactical wizard.
Even an old model of mass-produced magic guide is at least completely equivalent to a second-order mage, and its magic power is several times that of an ordinary second-order mage!
A single Tier 0 trick learned during his apprenticeship is enough to solve a large number of spells, and this trick is the "detection magic" that has always been regarded as the enemy of illusion.
No matter how well you hide it, no matter how much the buff flies, a detection spell can make the recipient see the magic aura.
It's pitch black all around, and it's red and purple in this empty place of yours, who will you hit if you don't hit it?
Because of this, all mage apprentices can learn it, but as long as they can skillfully use their performance enough to crush a large number of reconnaissance spells below the 3rd order, they can become one of the four walls of the 0 ring.
If it weren't for the three small flaws of narrow action surface, small range of effect, and need to focus on using it, detection magic deserves to be the first of the four walls of 0 rings!
By the way, Ring 0's strongest spell is a magic trick of the Mage's Universal School, which can be called the prototype of the Mage's ultimate dream universal magic invocation.
Back to reality.
In the remote night alleys of the residential area, the barrels of the guns in the hands of the soldiers are constantly glowing with blue fire.
Moments later, smoke and dust were flying. Dozens of bullet casings were scattered on the ground, and the walls were littered with craters of varying shades.
When the group of soldiers gathered fire directly at Leach, who was hiding in the shadows, they found that the place where the fire was collected was empty.
"The paralysis bomb didn't work, we didn't hit the stalker. β
"According to the magician's identification, the half-elf just now does not have a household registration in Port Noyer. β
"This is the eleventh encounter with the half-elf tonight, and he hasn't been arrested since he raided the sewers and blew them up. β
"Immediately request reinforcements, switch the wizard to reconnaissance mode, and do your best to investigate this area!"
And just as the soldiers called in additional men to start a vigilant investigation of the potential outsiders in the area, a half-elf in an elven cloak was already sitting at a table in the inn a few blocks away.
On the table is a delicate map full of markings, all the layout, topography, climate, and even the underground area and surrounding undercurrents of the port of Noyère are impressively visible, and it is obviously a strategic map of great value.
"Whew, it's dangerous, it's only the eleventh place that has already teleported four times with the leaves of the World Tree. It's really dangerous to go on like this, and if I don't get enough attention from them, I'll be able to destroy the tree tonight or in the near future. β
That's right, as the earthlings have more and more control over the port of Noyer, it is too late to destroy the World Tree in the branch now.
And tonight, taking advantage of the opportunity of the earthlings to check on outsiders, Leach must find a way to attract the attention of the patrol team, give them the illusion that they are threatened, and attract a large number of troops to capture Leach, so that Allen, Amasasia, and Elenia, who are located near the embassy, have a more suitable opportunity to carry out a raid.
"What would he do if it was a house cat...... It's probably self-detonating and pulling hatred and then going around in circles with the enemy, but I don't think I can do that. β
"But the Ranger also has the pride of the Ranger! Corgi, come back. β
With Leach's soft call, the snow owls who were scouting around the hotel were ...... Corgi flew back onto Leach's shoulder.
Looking out the window at the daylight of the residential area illuminated by the magic light, Leach began to assemble his own favorite gun in earnest, and inspected and maintained any parts and bullets that could be used in advance.
After checking these, he began to skillfully prepare a series of cheap traps bought from Xixiang, such as shock grenades and random mines.
Within minutes, there was a gruff knock on the door and a declaration of a search by soldiers outside the hotel.
"Let's go, at least don't trouble the owner of the inn. β
Putting everything on the table in Howard's convenience bag, Leach jumped out of the second-floor window with the corgi and leaped past the soldiers surrounding the hotel.
"It's the half-elf!"
"The magic guide switches to the Demon Splitting mode, and the group continuously releases the B......"
Seeing that the soldiers were about to use spells such as disarming magic on themselves, Leach decisively dropped several flash dust grenades in order not to be directly disarmed.
With an explosion, clouds of golden granular smoke rose above the ground below Leach, and in an instant, all the soldiers became blind because of their low willpower for spells.
"With C course!"
However, even if they were deprived of vision, the soldiers still followed the order in an orderly manner to set the spell casting macro of the Magic Guide Splitting Mode to the third type - the wide-area indiscriminate dismantling magic package.
Unfortunately, Leach, who dropped the flash grenade, had already flown away from here and headed towards the port area without hesitation, so it was not within the scope of the area-based dismantling magic.
After the glitter dust effect stopped, the soldiers watched as the distant rangers reported to the headquarters and made further arrests.

Magic tricks are small tricks used by novice spellcasters to practice. Each time you cast it, a magic trick allows you to perform a simple magic effect for up to 1 hour. This magic has a weak effect and has limited effect. It can slowly lift 1 pound of items. It can also stain, clean, or stain items within a foot square once per round. It can alter the ability to make a pound of inanimate matter cold, hot, or flavorful. It does not deal damage and does not affect the caster's focus. Magic tricks can create items, but they look very crude fakes. Items created with magic tricks are extremely sturdy and cannot be used as tools, weapons, or spell components. In the end, magic tricks can't mimic other spell effects. Any substantial alteration to the item (other than moving, cleaning, or soiling) will only last for 1 hour.
