Chapter 356: Blindfolding
An An was silent and did not speak, but her heart was silently touched.
Charlene continued: "What we are going through right now is actually the suffering that we have to go through. Now that you've made your choice, you shouldn't hesitate to make a decision afterward. It's the same for you and me. With that, Charlene stood up and stretched her muscles along the way. Then Charlene found that the sense of detachment on her body still hadn't completely disappeared, which made her feel a little helpless.
An An still didn't speak, but fell into deep thought.
For An An, no matter what the outcome of the war is, all these incidents are provoked by him, and his every move will involve the fate of other people, so An An has to care about any small wind and grass, even if the direction of things is only a little bit off the track An An expected, it will make him feel frightened and uneasy. He didn't want to make more people unhappy because of his mistakes, and he didn't want to be a sinner in history.
But Charlene is different. After that stormy night, Charlene has nothing to lose, so she can do everything she wants to do without scruples, even if she is obsessed, she only lives for her own heart, so An An can't help but envy her freedom and determination, which is what An An lacks now.
Thinking of this, An An realized that he shouldn't be so depressed, so he regained his spirits and said, "Then what do you think I should do next?" After two fights, Bai Li will probably only become more cautious and more targeted at you and Lin. I guess he's already hating you two by now, right? The next meeting between Highland and Sky Ying may come soon. ”
"You're right, in fact, that's what I'm most worried about right now." Charlene's brows furrowed slightly, and the expression on her face faintly revealed a look of worry. She looked up at An An and said: "In these two battles, Tianying's losses were heavier than those of the highlands, so the highlands now have an advantage in troops, so they naturally have nothing to fear, and I am afraid that they may attack again at any time." ”
"So when do you think the next fight will be?"
"It's up to the heights to see when the highlands will find out what tricks I've used before. But I think based on Bai Li's cunning and suspicious character, I am afraid that my methods will soon be revealed. Charlene was a little worried.
"What do you mean by that?" An An sensed that something was wrong and asked.
"I mean, the trick I used to force the highlands to retreat." Seeing that An An was still a little puzzled, Xia Lin explained: "At that time, the situation was critical, and Tianying was in a position of obvious disadvantage, so I used the power of Lin to create the illusion that I was going to use witchcraft on a large scale to confuse the highland soldiers in front of Bai Nei. Although Bai Li did choose to withdraw from the army at that time, I think he should soon find out that I was cheating on him at that time. ”
It turns out that everything Charlene did before was just a trick! It's just because the spirit of people on the battlefield is often in a highly tense state and their judgment is reduced, which makes Charlene's plan take advantage of it.
Because the soldiers present at that time, including Bai Li, had all seen the large-scale spells cast by Lin before, and they had all witnessed how Charlene could simply confuse her mind and kill the strange beast. So they naturally had a preset impression of Charlene and Lin in their hearts.
Therefore, when they see Charlene and Lin making a move, people will subconsciously rehearse in their minds what will happen after that, and this is also the root cause of Bai Li's misjudgment.
But to be honest, it's no wonder that Bai Li misjudged, because let alone Bai Li, even An An and even Lin himself were convinced of Xia Lin's ability to turn the tide before!
But in fact, the current Charlene doesn't have that ability at all! Because in the final analysis, Charlene has only been in contact with witchcraft for less than half a year, even if she has a good foundation in potion knowledge, she is only a novice, not very skilled at all, Charlene at most relies on her good foundation as a mage, so in the eyes of others, her use of witchcraft looks "skilled". In addition, Charlene has only recently begun to refine the configuration techniques and concentration of witch potions, so she and the potion itself are still out of the run-in period, let alone proficient in the potion.
Therefore, the success of forcing the highlands to retreat can only be regarded as a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, so that Charlene's trick worked. It is estimated that it will not be long before Bai Li discovers something strange, because this matter itself has a big flaw, and it can't stand scrutiny at all.
Because if Charlene really had such an ability, she would have used it a long time ago, and as for making Tianying's soldiers and the highlands hard?
After knowing this, the expression on An An's face began to become grim again, and he was obviously already thinking about countermeasures.
Charlene opened her mouth and asked, "How is the situation with the alien beast?" ”
An An replied: "In this fight, one strange beast was stunned by you, and another was chopped to death by Xi Ze, so there should be more than ten strange beasts on the high ground." As for the one that is now in our hands, the dead one has been disposed of, and the stunned one has been caught in the cage. ”
Charlene nodded: "Okay, I want to go see the one we caught now." ”
So the two of them came to the location of the cage.
When the two arrived at their destination, they found that Lin was also here, watching the captured beast go into distraction. After he found Charlene and An An, he explained, "I just want to see if there is anything strange about this strange beast, and I want to know why it listens to Bai Li so much." ”
"So what did you find?" Charlene asked, glancing at the beast.
The beast had gradually regained its senses at this time, and was obediently lying in the cage, looking at everything curiously. It was now completely free of battlefield violentness, which made Charlene feel a little strange.
Lin shook his head helplessly: "It's not clear yet." But for some reason, I always felt that there seemed to be some connection between this strange beast and the war behemoth. ”
An An looked at the strange beast and fell into deep thought. He turned his head to look at Lin, and suddenly asked, "Actually, I was very concerned from the beginning, why did a strange beast suddenly appear between me and him when Xi Ze was about to slash me?" I think it's something you did, but how did you do it? ”
"The principle is actually very simple, it's summoning."
"Summoning?"
"Summoning?"
An An and Charlene glanced at each other and spoke almost at the same time, they were visibly surprised by this answer.
Lin explained: "When I was still at the War College, I used to take the course 'Summoning Studies', so I have a little understanding of the principle of summoning, and I know that the creature summoned is actually the closest creature to the summoning array. In addition, I knew before that Nina had carved a complete summoning array on your sword, so I was in a hurry and decided to take a gamble. ”
Of course, the deeper reason is that Lin had personally seen Rand summon demons using the summoning array, so he guessed that the summoning array might not only summon the elves of Merlin's forest, but also some other creatures. And the facts also proved that Lin's guess was correct, which saved An An's life.
