Chapter 40: Enlightenment
Long before dawn, the residential area of Port Noyère is lit up by various light sources.
An increasing number of patrol soldiers are converging in residential areas in an effort to catch outsiders blasting at the sewer exit in the port area as soon as possible.
The man was most likely a green ...... The terrorists of the Ivy League organization, if they are not found as soon as possible, there are likely to be more incidents, not to mention that he probably has other accomplices secretly watching, in short, he must be arrested no matter what!
The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
Every time the soldiers chased the half-elf into an alley, they would be reduced by more or less casualties caused by stepping on a mine that blended in with their surroundings.
There are explosion, blinding, paralyzing, illusion, confusion, teleportation, summoning, etc., each encounter is different, and the soldiers can't protect or immunize at all, so they have to keep consuming the magic to keep the magic guide in reconnaissance mode.
However, there are still soldiers who continue to step on landmines, which has led to more and more soldiers being thrown into residential areas.
"Mom, look at the Ersian fireworks in the distance!"
"Don't look at the ancestors, you come back to sleep for me!"
While the soldiers are frantic with various mines, Leach, who is a few blocks away from the patrol, is waiting to set a trap.
"It's really worthy of being called amazing thunder, each effect is random, some are not even magic items, and some are even treacherous thunder......"
Although he condemns his roommate's inhumane behavior, Leach's body honestly places mines and traps in various insidious ways, until his animal companion Corgi flies in to report the news, and it doesn't take long for a team of patrolmen to encounter a new batch of encounters.
The distant Leach took off the video equipment strapped to the corgi's lap, replaced it with a new one, and released the snow owl, while he hid in the shadows to analyze the video and consider new ways to bury mines.
"It's not a matter of being played by him all the time, go to the Mage Association to find those high-level mages for help, they have an obligation to solve the problem if there is a foreign enemy in the city. β
A man who looked like a captain or non-commissioned officer pulled out the shrapnel embedded in his suit, cursed, put the tactical wizard into communication mode, and started a video call.
"Call home, this is AZ13. The latest information is that the opponent has old non-magical mines in their hands, which are not powerful enough to penetrate these field suits whose main purpose is to fight magic, and request the support of demining experts. At the same time, the high-level mages of the Mage Association organized by the headquarters were requested to search and capture. β
"Your request has been escalated, please wait 1 minute for a reply. β
"No problem. Those mages can always come in handy, and even more so we can take advantage of this opportunity...... Who's there!"
Valuable information is only recorded here, and after that is the video of the corgi dodging the attack.
After carefully reviewing the words of the Earth Soldier, Leach found that there might be some other meaning hidden in them, so he directly called back the corgi and asked him to send the video to the hands of Elenia in the commercial district.
Then Leach began to attract hatred and create traps again, and did everything he could to evade the pursue, and after this night, I am afraid that he would not be able to appear in Noyère.
A few minutes later, a snowy owl's cry around the business district caught the attention of the two elves, who hurriedly signaled the snowy owl to their side.
"It's video magic he's made, and it looks like Leach has news for us. β
"So what are you waiting for, let's find a place to take a look. β
The two elves faded into the darkness, their dexterous bodies not even making a sound when they walked, and leaving the other guards without their attention.
In a secluded location, they triggered the playback magic of the video device.
"It's not a matter of being played by him all the time, go to the Mage Association to find those high-level mages for help, they have an obligation to solve the problem if there is a foreign enemy in the city. β
A man who looked like a captain or non-commissioned officer pulled out the shrapnel embedded in his suit, cursed, put the tactical wizard into communication mode, and started a video call.
"Call home, this is AZ13. The latest information is that the opponent has old non-magical mines in their hands, which are not powerful enough to penetrate these field suits whose main purpose is to fight magic, and request the support of demining experts. At the same time, the high-level mages of the Mage Association organized by the headquarters were requested to search and capture. β
"Your request has been escalated, please wait 1 minute for a reply. β
"No problem. Those mages can always come in handy, and even more so we can take advantage of this opportunity...... Who's there!"
The back screen is mostly a picture of Leach's snowy owl dodging attacks, and there is not much valuable information.
When Elenia and Amasasia finished reading it, their expressions were different.
"They are going to call the high-level mage of the mage association to intervene in this matter, we must hurry up and complete the scheduled task, otherwise the half-elf will never escape under the divination of the high-level mage. β
With a determined look, Amasasia made up her mind to waste a World Tree that was growing very well, and then blew it up to complete the task, and then she realized another key.
"Leach has been discovered, and he will no longer be able to stay in Port Noyer after this operation is over, and the schedule of our surveillance will likely be even tighter in the future. Elenia, what are you thinking?"
"Ah...... Look here. β
With that, Elenia played the video again, and before the Master Chief pulled out the shrapnel embedded in his clothes, he gave Amasasia a closer look.
"That piece of iron has runes printed on it!"
Amasasia, who had discovered the hidden clues, couldn't help but raise her tone by two tones, and hurriedly shut up after being signaled by Elena.
"It's a spell with his runes cast super-magic, and if I'm not mistaken, it's suggestion, which means that the Master Chief will act according to his hints after performing a certain act. β
"This is impossible, if there is magic on those mines, they will definitely be discovered by the Ersians who use the detection magic. β
"It stands to reason that it is...... But that's not the most important point. The important thing is that he is simply too deceptive in this way, and if we also use the suggestion technique in this way, there will be a huge breakthrough in this operation!"
After Elenia's careful observation, she directly used the video equipment to record her words, and then let the snowy owl fly back to where Leach was.
She was very confident at the moment, as long as she knew how to make the Suggestion Mine, she would be able to complete this mission easily!
