Chapter 239: A Skeleton That Can Be Disguised
"After the death of two teammates, it seems that they were not negligent this time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Standing in front of the camp built by his predecessors more than forty years ago, Panismo rubbed his chin and nodded lightly and said: " They did not relax their vigilance because there was no demonic beast here, all defensive measures were laid in accordance with the strictest standards, for which they did not hesitate to dig a trench, of course, it was definitely not dug, it should be transformed by using earth attribute magic, and there are magic traps on the edge of the trench, although so many years have passed, and the traps have been dismantled when they left, but there are still some traces. ”
"They know someone is going to attack them?" Catherine thought for a moment and corrected, "Oh no, there are undead who are going to attack them, otherwise why set up so many defenses?"
"I don't know, but I don't think they knew it in advance. Pannis shook his head and said: "Don't forget who is in that team, that is the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, if you know in advance that an enemy is coming, then the traps set will not be so simple, these traps are more early warning and defensive." ”
"They really didn't know it beforehand, and by simulating their actions and analyzing them, we can come to this conclusion. Eva stood in front of the five-meter-wide trench and said with an indifferent expression: "The time of the undead attack is at twenty-two o'clock, which is the time when the old and the new are alternating, this time is not suitable for night attacks, it should be ......."
"Wait, Eva. Pannis interrupted Eva with a wave of his hand, frowning and asking, "What month is the moon that day?"
"It was October 25th. Eva was not angry at Pannis's interruption, and said in the same tone as ever, "The moon has no special effect, just an ordinary night. ”
"It was the right choice to start the night raid at twenty-two o'clock sharp, because it was customary for the team to go to bed at twenty o'clock and start to pack their equipment at four o'clock in the morning, and for these six hours, the night watchman shift was at one o'clock in the morning. Therefore, twenty-two o'clock in the middle of the night is the time when the night watchman's energy is most likely to be scattered, but it is normal that you don't understand the situation, Eva. Catherine explained, but there was a little doubt on her face: "The question now is, they are undead, how could they choose such a precise time to attack?" I don't believe it's just a coincidence, I suspect that someone is behind them." ”
"It doesn't have to be controlled. Freya pointed to Lina's backpack: "For example, the one in the bag who said that she had tooth decay and was holding her head to wipe her teeth, she could do it even if no one controlled her." ”
"Do you mean sane undead?" Catherine frowned, "Your guess is more exaggerated than being controlled." ”
"I don't think so. After a long period of suffering, Freya's weight is getting closer and closer to that of a normal human, although it is still more than a hundred kilograms, but at least when she shakes her head now, it is no longer like two spheres rubbing against each other, Her Royal Highness the princess shook her neck for a long time, shook her head and insisted: " If you guess that someone is controlling them, you first need to admit that the necromancers have regained the ability to control the undead, but there are no examples to prove this, but sanity undead are different, there are two precedents around us, and I once heard my father say in small talk, in recent decades, in addition to Anne and the fawn, there have also been other sane undead, and it is not surprising that we meet two more here. And don't forget the previous thunder elementals, they were driven out of their hometown by the undead, and what drove them away happened to be a group of sane undead, of course, this is also speculation. ”
"Don't be in a hurry to argue about this. Panis stopped the two clever maidens from arguing with each other, patted Eva on the head and said, "Go ahead and tell me what happened that night." ”
"They were in charge of the vigil that night by two men, a man and a woman, the male standing with me and the female sitting in a position with her back to him, and their eyes covered the whole camp. Eva pointed to her feet and said, "They used six long-distance crystal lamps as lighting fixtures, which basically covered the space around the outer edge of the trench. But even so, they couldn't detect the attacking undead in advance, because the two skeletons ...... It's black. ”
"Black?" Pannis's eyes twitched, and his gaze turned to the manticore lying on the ground, "Have you ever seen a black skeleton?"
"Are you stupid?" said Dilley, mockingly, "Paint all the bones black, aren't they black skeletons?"
"The question is, have you ever seen a skeleton that blackens its bones?" Pannis said with a wry smile, "Knowing how to use camouflage colors is beyond the realm of sanity." ”
Vivien seemed to think of something, tugging at Pannis's cuffs and gesturing at Lina's backpack. Pannis stroked his forehead and sighed deeply, hung his shoulders weakly, and whispered: "She doesn't count, she's bored, where do you go to find a second undead who is as boring as her." ”
Vivien's round eyes blinked, her eyes rolled, the corners of her mouth trembled as if she was smiling, and without saying a word, she pointed at Freya's neck.
"You did it on purpose. Pannis rolled his eyes, no longer paying attention to the mage girl who was laughing at him, and said in a straight voice: "If they really took the initiative to paint themselves with protective colors, and they deliberately chose the time of midnight to attack, it means that they not only have sanity, but also sanity is also a professional with enough experience, such as ...... Assassin. ”
"Doubts aside. Catherine waved her hand, "Eva, what happened after that?"
"The two skeletons have been lurking here until they are discovered. Eva jumped over the wide trench and crouched down about five meters from it, exclaiming, "Not only did they go undetected because they hid it well, but they also managed to take advantage of the nature of this broken space, appearing directly nearby from a great distance, avoiding the sight of the night watchman." ”
"In addition to being sane, you can even use this space?" Pannis narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Judging by their other behavior, do you think it could be a coincidence, Eva." ”
"It's not. Eva said with certainty: "I checked their movements, and I can see that they deliberately use space debris to achieve the purpose of high-speed movement." ”
"Sure enough. Pannis's spirit seemed to suddenly become a little trance, with a gloomy look in his eyes, and he whispered: "If I'm not mistaken, their subsequent attacks should be very targeted ****." ”
"It's true that they behave very abnormally. Eva nodded, "I don't understand." (To be continued.) )
