Chapter Seventy-One: The Rescue Plan
The patrol intensity of the border cities is of course much stronger than that of the inland cities, and there are a lot of mercenaries here who are more chaotic, and the officials have been trying to increase the intensity of law and order, and the ability of the magistrates in Mo Siye City is not to be underestimated. The parrot of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info immediately discovered the unknown luminous object, and the contract mage behind it immediately paid attention to it.
The luminous object is suspected to have flown more than 100 meters before falling, and the light emitted is also white, which is by no means an ordinary torch flame or the like, and it is by no means unusual. But whether it is the birth of a new magical beast, or a strange natural phenomenon, or a new weapon or magic from an enemy country, must be further investigated before a conclusion can be drawn.
However, it is still more dangerous to let the parrot pass through the poisonous forest alone, and at night, after all, the parrot does not have much ability to fight alone. So a whistle sounded at the city's security office, and a ten-man emergency team assembled in a moment, carrying only a sword and a shield, accompanied by a parrot used for communication.
In peacetime, emergency response teams are undoubtedly one of the hardest and most dangerous types of troops. No matter what abnormalities occur in the city, whether it is a group fight or dispute, or a fire or a house collapse, or even if you don't know what happened, the first emergency team is dispatched.
The orders carried out in the main city are that no matter what happens, no matter whether the emergency team can solve it or not, send it over first. In fact, there is no way to do this, communication is not very developed, sometimes wait until you find out what is happening, and then do countermeasures, then it is estimated that there is no salvation over there. For this reason, we can only send it out first.
A main city usually has three to eight emergency response teams, which take turns to be on duty or resting with each other. There is no doubt about the danger, many people are injured or even killed, and of course the merit is much easier to obtain than other troops.
No one likes to be cannon fodder, and the emergency team has also put a lot of effort into improving their survival rate. The whole team is usually equipped with more than five mages, mainly water and soil systems, to ensure that fires can be extinguished, and landslides can also be treated with soil and rock. There are usually one or two pastors who can do at least some emergency treatment. Of course, the combat ability is also top-notch, maybe they don't necessarily know how to attack, but they must be very good at defense.
Because their task is only to be the vanguard, to find out the situation, delay the battle situation, and wait for the follow-up large troops to come, it is their task.
The ten-person team set off at night, and at the same time, the crystal exploration department of the main city also began to move, and the three old mages immediately set up a fire, and then carefully took out a crystal ball the size of a watermelon, gently placed it above the flame, and then used spiritual power to hover it in the air.
Then put a mess of materials in the flames, including some monster fur, monster droppings, garlic, and some messy gelatin. Each of the three mages has their own duties, one is responsible for the flame part, using fire spells to completely burn the material and reflect a special flame on the crystal ball, making the crystal ball work without burning the crystal ball. The other is in charge of the crystal ball part, dragging the crystal ball with mental power, and at the same time begins to search for the location of the incident through the crystal ball and present it on the crystal ball.
The last person was the Wind Mage, who sent all the burned gas out of the window, and because of the stench of the flames, he was able to ensure that none of the three mages would be stinked to death.
Crystal ball imaging has always been something that exists in many works, and it does exist on the mainland, and in this regard, the technology of the Ryan Empire is the most advanced, and the Lou Pauler Kingdom is much worse. As for the principle of the crystal ball, there are still many theories, and the mages only know its usage, but do not know its principle.
There is a theory that the crystal ball connects to another interface, which may be some kind of "god" world. A crystal ball can be compared to an eye, and the "god" realm is a mirror, through the reflection of the mirror, the eye sees what he wants to see somewhere on the continent.
This "god" realm is not a place full of gods in the usual sense, or a place where the church considers heaven, but some kind of interface that is different from the mainland, which can be said to be another world, or it can be said to be another dimension. The way it is reflected is not as simple as the physical reflection of light, but a reflection between interfaces. Since the other interface itself is unknown, it is impossible to imagine how it is reflected.
This is the current mainstream knowledge, but it has not been proven, and it may never be confirmed unless the "god" realm is truly discovered. And the reason why it is said to be the "god" world, not a simple other world. This is just that everyone can only understand the truth that "there is a mirror in the sky, look up at the mirror, and according to the different angles of the mirror, you can naturally see the rest of the continent".
The crystal ball can theoretically be used for continent-wide exploration, but of course this is also related to the strength of the caster, as well as the length of time it takes to cast the spell. However, masters above the ninth order will feel it when they are probed by the crystal ball, and the masters of the holy order can also interfere with and even counteract when they use their spiritual power.
The Ryan Empire has experimented with three archmagisers driving a large crystal ball, and through seven days and seven nights of exploration, they even illuminated the surface of the moon on the crystal ball. Of course, the materials burned by its drive are worth more than 200 million gold bricks.
The price of crystal is not fixed, depending on its fineness and texture, there are also mainland goods more than a dozen gold coins can also buy one to play. But the crystal balls used for exploration must be extremely pure, and they must be large enough, extremely rare, and very finely polished, and they have no market. For some countries, they are even willing to exchange several cities for a crystal ball.
To have such a high value is not only the craftsmanship value and artistic value of the crystal ball itself. Because it is also one of the best means of communication, a visual dialogue can be achieved between two crystal balls. Even the Crystal Ball is a strategic weapon and a companion to the Giant Staff. First probe with the crystal ball, and then the giant staff can perform an over-the-horizon forbidden spell strike.
Back to the book, the three mages drove the crystal ball for a moment, and the situation in the Poison Forest gradually appeared on the sphere. The crystal ball detection distance also has a certain relationship with time, the fierce poison forest is also a distance from Mo Siye's city defense, and it also takes time to explore the specific situation, the parrot just sees the bright light rising, but the bright light rises only by visual inspection, and there is a large error, so it can only be found piece by piece.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the sheriff walked in a little tired: "How is it?"
"Still looking. The mage replied, and the picture on the crystal ball began to move slowly, and under the moonlight, the woods were full of shadows, and it was not easy to observe.
"I'm going to assemble the team!" the commander decided on the spot, and then went out to blow the whistle. Whatever happens, call people up first.
"Discovery!" Suddenly there was a flash of light on the crystal ball, and another thing flew into the air, bringing the view closer. And he saw four men in the woods, with torches. They are all covered with their heads and faces, but there are more mosquitoes in the vicious forest, which is a normal phenomenon. The crystal ball could only view the screen, not the conversation, and the four of them didn't know what they were doing.
"Well, there's a guy with ice shackles on his hands?"
Even if the ice shackles are mainly bondage-based skills, they are also very damaging to people, and they will never be used against their own people. Apparently some of them are being held by them, so is it true that they are making some kind of ulterior deal?
The information was quickly transmitted to the emergency detachment that was rushing over there, and the parrot spoke directly through the mage contract: "There are 4 people on the other side, one of whom is locked in cold ice shackles, and the luminous object is thrown out by one of them. Yellow vindictive. ”
The parrot only said what he saw over there, and the specific judgment had to be made by the team itself. The emergency team heard it clearly, and they all secretly said that they were unlucky. Huang Dou Qi must be a sixth-order warrior, and the person who can use cold ice shackles is at least a fourth- or fifth-level mage, and this battle is still relatively difficult.
Although the emergency team deals with all kinds of troubles, in fact, they are most afraid of trouble. But there is no way, people have already been dispatched, and they must not retreat, this is the order.
"Cheer up, maybe it's a big deal," the captain must boost morale, "We'll mainly contain it, just wait for the army to come." When the time comes, we will be a big success. ”
"Good. The crowd responded. They are all veterans, and they know that it is most useful to encourage each other at such times, and those who speak coldly and pretend to be smart or something, but die faster. The Mo Siye City emergency team belongs to the top emergency team in the country, and eight of the ten people are demonic and martial arts double cultivators, although their strength is only about the third or fourth order, and they will definitely not be able to defeat the sixth-order masters, but with their rich experience, they should be able to hold each other for a while. It's just that...... I'm afraid a few people will die here today.
On the other side, the Smecta warrior threw the urinal high for the third time, and then watched it fall rapidly, picked it up, and caught it steadily.
"How can you tell how much Moon Essence is stored in this urinal?" the warrior looked over and over with the urinal, but didn't see any clues.
Kevin leaned against the book, his body was already trembling a little, and his voice was much weaker: "I feel...... I'm kind of bad ....... ”
"Hmph, rubbish. The mage was dismissive, but waved his hand back from the icy shackles on Kevin's feet, but the shackles on his hands remained.
"Tell me, don't play me dead. The warrior kicked Kevin in displeasure.
"What I know is only myths and legends, whether it will work or not, and I don't know," Kevin said helplessly, "You must know that there are a lot of exaggerations in mythology, and we can only experiment step by step and then draw conclusions." Although the protagonist gets the urinal, and a pot of urine into it can jump out of an ancient god, but that's the protagonist. Do you think you're the main character?"
"Less. The other party didn't believe it, "Since you know so much, you must have a lot of unsaid!
"Okay, I said," Kevin reluctantly, gathered his thoughts, and began to talk about the fifth urinal. In fact, this story is adapted from a foreign novel, and Kevin uses it to copy. Kevin deliberately changed a lot of names and words at the beginning to test whether the other party had read the original, but gradually found that the other party didn't know at all, and Kevin immediately unceremoniously became a bard again.
"Someone's coming!" the mage was startled and interrupted Kevin's story.
"Let's go!" the warrior immediately grabbed Kevin and the professor one by one, and began to retreat with a burst of vindictiveness. The mage on the side immediately flew up to follow.
At the same time, the emergency response team also received the news: "The other party has noticed you and has begun to move rapidly, seemingly unwilling to make contact with you." ”
"Let's chase!" the emergency team immediately gave an order, and the wind mages present reduced the weight of the whole team and began to chase after the target quickly.
The terrain in the woods is rugged and difficult to walk, and the strength of the Smectar warrior is 6th-order, and even if he carries two people, his speed is far better than that of the emergency team. But Mage Smmida was struggling, and the water mage was not known for his speed, even if he followed behind the warrior and swept away a bunch of branches and forks, it was still getting slower and slower, and the warrior had to slow down and wait for him in order to take care of his speed.
Kevin and the professor were dragged by the back collar of the warrior and dragged along the way, which was really uncomfortable. Kevin's frozen hands and feet were weak at this time, and he was still shackled on his hands, and he couldn't resist if he wanted to. If you shout and don't make the other party tear up the ticket in advance, you can only endure it at this time.
But at this time, the crystal ball was clearly visible, one person was running with two people, one of whom was still in shackles. So it is obvious that these two people were kidnapped by two other people, and the identities of several people are not known at present, but looking at this situation, it is enough for the official to intervene.
Although there are often a lot of mercenaries fighting, slashing and killing each other in Mo Siye City, the official principle still does not allow these, although there are too many people who cut indiscriminately to control it, but once they see it, they still can't ignore it. Moreover, both of them are masters, and the level of this master is stronger than that of ordinary mercenary leaders, which makes it even more necessary to intervene.
"Report!" Suddenly, a secretary rushed in, "Sir, the registration office at the entrance to the Poison Forest shows that a week ago, the vice principal of Wang Li Academy and his guards entered the forest and have not returned. ”
"What?" the chief suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sir, the person that the 6th order master specializes in dealing with is indeed likely to be a figure of the level of the vice principal. The mage on the side also spoke.
"The whole team is out. The chief finally stopped hesitating, and the 500 sheriffs who had already gathered immediately let out a shout and hurried towards the Fierce Poison Forest.
As soon as he walked a few steps, the commander was not at ease, so he immediately used the parrot to send a message to the secretary: "Prepare to borrow troops from the nearby garrison army, and it is best to borrow the Dragon Eagle troops to us." ”
The secretary was immediately ordered to leave. At the same time, a large number of magistrates were dispatched, and even the nearby mercenaries were also aware of it, and they all asked what was going on. But except for the chief, few people knew what had happened, and the soldiers who had gathered were all ignorant, and the mercenaries had found nothing when they inquired. Seeing them rush into the poisonous forest without hesitation, there are too many mosquitoes there, and even if the mercenaries want to pat themselves, they don't bother to follow up.
At this time, the two Smitterians were still running, and for them, even if they could fight, it was undoubtedly unwise to contact the regular army. Although the mage slowed down, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to get rid of the people behind him.
But it was thrown off, and after a while it caught up again, and then it was thrown off again, and it caught up again. Even a 6th-order warrior chased two people in the woods, and after a long time, he was still exhausted. What's more, they had been in the forest for several days, and although they were just squatting and stalking, they were actually quite physically exhausted.
"There is no escape," the mage concluded, "turn around and kill them!"
"Alright, old rule!" the warrior nodded, immediately stopped, casually threw Kevin and the professor over, picked up Kevin's sword and shield, and posed for the enemy. And the mage hid to the side, secretly condensing the cold ice shackles, preparing for a sneak attack, obviously this was a routine they were familiar with.
But unfortunately, this routine was understood by the crystal ball, and it was immediately passed to the emergency team. The emergency team immediately slowed down and began to discuss a countermeasure.
Kevin and the professor were still lying on the ground, and although they had lost the ability to resist, they could at least say a few words. Kevin spoke: "I advise you, you better run." Just run by yourself, if you don't run now, you won't have a chance. ”
The warrior angrily reprimanded: "You shut up for me, I tell you, these little soldiers come here, and they don't take it in our eyes." ”
In a moment in the woods, a group of people came out of the grass, and one of them spoke: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The mage on the right suddenly stood up, threw a dozen or so ice shackles in his hand, and if he threw it, everyone could be connected. Ice shackles can not only be thrown on the hands and feet, but also on the head and shoulders, and they can be locked if they can be frozen.
But the emergency team had already expected it, and the eight people raised their hands and waved, and the shackles that flew in through the direct action of spiritual power, although the opponent's level 6 demon master, with their strength, it was difficult to directly imprison or even capture, but it was still possible to just change direction.
More than a dozen cold ice shackles suddenly moved closer to the middle, and the ice shackles also have characteristics, and the two ends will automatically freeze the objects encountered. A pile of cold ice shackles that approached each other inevitably collided in the air, and finally froze into a large ball.
The last man took out a wooden stick and whipped it over the shackled mass. Although the stick was frozen instantly, the other party threw the wooden stick together, which still caused the special effect of the cold shackles thrown out, and it was actually beaten back.
