Chapter 421: Inside the Tree Cave
The so-called once born, two times ripe. Although the last time he went deep into the forbidden area drawn by the Shenmu Guard, it was only an hour or two ago. But being able to calm down a little bit in a safe place, as well as review the gains and losses, is enough for someone to make more and more correct preparations.
At the same time, Lin is also checking the map and has found out the layout of the area. Generally speaking, the layout of a planned town will have a context to follow. Just like the metropolis of the earth, there will be residential areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, and so on. I'm afraid that the use planning of the houses here is as free as the romantic nature of the elves, and there is no trace to follow.
The first expedition was not a carpet search, but just a certain route, all the way deeper. Although I have checked all the treehouses and hollows I have passed, it is not enough to judge the overall layout. So if someone gives up looking at a map that is mostly blank and doesn't continue to explore the field, he won't get anything else.
Because the places I have been to have been already recorded by maps. So this time he started to investigate again, and Lin directly used the flashing technique to jump to the nearest hiding place in front of the tree cave passage where he met the two elf masters.
Looking at the passage that almost frightened me, and finally there was a thrilling passage, now there are two options. One is to choose the direction that Ronan Pitessson came from at that time, which is behind him now. The other option, which was the direction they were heading, was to go through the tree hole again.
Because of being within the confines of the World Tree, the energy changes here are chaotic and disorderly, and it is difficult to determine the direction of progress by perceiving the way in which a large number of powers are gathered somewhere.
However, although I have only walked half of the tree hole in front of me, I can guess that the other end is not like the passage or rope bridge I encountered before, but it is connected in the same area and there is no road to connect directly. This passage is more like the inside of the body of the World Tree.
Thinking of this, Lin remembered that this passage was different from the other passages he had walked. The other passages are shorter and are illuminated by natural light, that is, there are no common lighting methods in the interior, and they rely entirely on the sunlight that can shine in before and after the passages.
But the one in front of me seems to have internal lighting, and at the end of the passage that I originally saw, although there is a bright light, if I think about it, it doesn't look like sunlight.
At this time, someone thought of the possibility that Lahti's Shenmu Guards would only live in the hollows of the trees on the surface, or in the tree houses on the branches. If they had built a bunker inside the tree, what better place to hide something important or a secret they didn't want to reveal to others.
It seems that it is not possible to break into it without breaking in.
Also using the flashing technique instead of walking, Lin only moved himself to the entrance of the passage after making sure that there was no one around. After the probe saw that there was indeed no one inside, he was about to move inside, when suddenly a window popped out of his field of vision, and someone's heart almost jumped out of their mouth. After seeing that it was a message from the lich, someone almost scolded on the spot.
Take two deep breaths and take a closer look at the message from Fin. Vasily Petrovich, another transcendent member of the Shenmu Guard, was an Assassin powerhouse. A rare outlier in the elven kingdom because he is a believer in the god of deception.
Generally speaking, it is quite rare for deity believers to become a member of the Shenmu Guard. Because the World Tree itself can also be seen as a kind of faith. That is to say, this one is a rare double believer, or, like the god of deception he believes, one of his beliefs is false to him.
Regardless of which one's beliefs are true and which are false, this one can be described as brilliant in the Elven Kingdom. But in such a tense moment, without good shelter before and after, one would not have the time to look at Fen's tirade and understand how much the elf had done. Anyway, knowing that this is a master with real materials, it is enough at this time.
Using the flashing technique, it reaches the visible end of the passage in one breath and condenses a small water mirror on the fingertips. Of course, it is not to go to the forum at such a time, but to use the characteristics of the mirror to see what happens after the corner of the passage. The size of the mirror is much smaller than if you have to show half of your head to poke your eyes out of the corner.
The scene in the mirror is empty, and it looks like the passage behind the corner is empty. However, Lin did not turn around rashly, but cautiously poked out half of his head again and confirmed it with his own eyes. After all, there will be blind spots in the mirror, and someone would rather progress slower than safer. This is not a game to clear the level within a time limit, especially since there is no save function here, and Lin doesn't want to mess things up.
Someone just walked step by step, cautiously moving forward. But after this corner, after walking a few steps, Lin seemed to hit a wall out of thin air and stopped.
Reaching out and groping, there was a repulsive force in the void, pushing away those who were going to move forward. Looking around the passage, the walls, ceiling, and floor are painted with unknown magic circles. Is this a force-field-type enchantment? I've been in the world of magic for so long, and this is the first time I've seen something that will appear in this kind of science fiction and magic theme.
Before he had time to praise a few words, there was a sound of footsteps in the depths of the passage opposite the force field. Lin Yi flashed, returned to the corner to hide his figure, and used the water mirror technique to peep at the situation.
Walking across the passage was a female member of the Shenmu Guard, although most of her face was covered, her slender figure was still easy to arouse the reverie of others, but Lin's attention was still focused on a sigil in the female elf's hand. I saw that she held the talisman in front of her chest, without chanting a spell or any delay, and passed through the force field enchantment very smoothly. And the surroundings don't seem to have changed at all.
Just as the female elf was about to walk around the corner, Lin Yi flashed and appeared directly behind her some distance. avoided the embarrassment of being face-to-face, or the revelation of deeds.
Before returning to the enchantment of the force field, Lin remembered what he had just seen. The elven sigil was more of a pass than a key, and the force field enchantment would repel anyone who didn't have one. Beyond that, maybe that sigil will have other uses. Are you going to steal a piece? Or is it ......
As soon as the thought turned, a flash flashed, and someone successfully appeared behind the force field enchantment. Turning around, Lin stretched out his hand and groped again, and sure enough, the force field still existed, and there was no directionality of one in and one out. It seems that the flashing technique is unreasonable, and it can treat most access controls as nothing.
Despite passing through the first force field barrier, Lin didn't act immediately. The little doubt in his heart made him directly change five or six kinds of reconnaissance vision, and sure enough, in the vision of observing magic power, he saw several magic traps. In particular, there is a magic trap that lies across the entire passage, and the width is much wider than the pace of a normal person; As long as you are walking, it is impossible not to pass by.
From this trap, Lin confirmed that in addition to being able to pass through the force field enchantment, the sigil could also walk on the passage without triggering the trap. Although it is unlikely that they will be able to touch a sigil temporarily, they should be able to avoid most traps by relying on their power vision, as long as they do not suddenly change the way the trap is set, such as replacing the magic trap with the most common trap-type trap.
Moreover, in the power vision, the existence of the force field enchantment is quite clear.
Speaking of which, being able to use power vision is also quite a fluke. In the area outside the tree, various energy tides are raging, and if you turn on the power vision, all kinds of colorful color blocks will cover most of your vision, making it impossible to see anything clearly. But inside the tree, the environment is relatively simple, and there is no such trouble. This is also the reason why someone can see magic traps and force field enchantments.
After confirming the way to go down, Lin of course avoided the unnaturally generated color patches on the ground and took the path that he determined was safe.
Originally, I was worried that a man-made passage like this would not be like outside, and there would be bushes and tree houses where you could hide. The passages inside the World Tree are similarly intricate, and there are stairs connecting the floors, so that the avenues are not straight enough to be seen. While this adds some difficulty to the detection, it is very beneficial for concealment.
When he saw someone coming, he flashed around the corner, and when the elf walked over, it was over. If you really encounter the problem of two sides, you can choose to jump into the high-dimensional world to avoid it temporarily. As long as someone does not venture into the blind spot recklessly, the chances of being discovered by the elves are infinitely close to none.
The place being explored now is worthy of being an area located inside the World Tree. Because the door lock, enchantment, or so on, it doesn't seem to exist to someone, so as long as he makes sure that there is no one else in the room, Lin will go in and take a look. After reading it, I was able to understand that compared with other people's solid family background, the little things I brought were really not enough.
A full set of magical armor, a variety of weapons and equipment, and a longbow that is different from the favorite use of most elves, the magic shortbow used by the Shenmu Guard is placed all over the shelves, and the bowstring made of demonic beast tendons is piled up in the whole box.
Under normal circumstances, the longbow will have better range and power than the shortbow. But with the World Tree as a material, and the elves' bow-making skills, one would not dare to underestimate these short bows that are only arm length.
There are also rows of plank armor, you must know that the hardness of the World Tree's wood is mysteriously recognized, and its ability to resist the energy tides between dimensions is not a problem, so it is not a problem to resist energy-type attacks. It means that if you want to deal with the elves wearing this wooden armor, there are very few means you can use, at least the energy-type magic gun is useless.
In addition to the armory room, there is also a room where I don't know whether to count the material storeroom or the treasure room. There are all kinds of treasures in it, and just the part that someone recognizes will make him salivate. Holding up the gemstone that was almost bigger than his head, Lin seriously thought about whether to change his profession, and it seemed that being a thief had more 'money' than being a magician who invented a bunch of things.
