367. Unexpected

The Metal Ancestral Dragons are connecting with metal objects that have been assimilated by themselves.

The shining street lamps that are released in the streets, the trash cans that become the homes of stray cats, the dangling manhole covers, the slight vibration of the tracks as the train passes, and the coins that travelers, residents, soldiers, merchants, and other mortals put in their pockets.

All of these metal objects open their perspectives to the metal progenitor dragon, allowing them to see, hear, and feel all the people and things around them from their own perspective.

From the bazaar area and fountain square in the middle of the city, to the train platform in the suburbs, to the taverns, horse factories and workshops outside the city, there is the eyeliner of the metal progenitor dragon everywhere.

The Metal Archaeoptera saw all the human beings, murmuring, moaning, indulging, the crying of babies, the sighs of exhaustion, the sorrow of the loss of loved ones, and the complacent after careful calculation.

Human emotions can't sway the metal protosaurus.

After reaching the inner starry sky, it had seen too many human ugliness at the famous Bald Gate.

The scene presented in front of the Metal Ancestral Dragon's eyes at this time was not as intense as half of Balder's Gate, and it was even more difficult to mobilize the Metal Ancestral Dragon's desire to observe.

Its hands stretched out towards the city slowly clenched into fists, and the "buzzing" sound coming from all directions became more and more violent, but ordinary people and others and the wizards in the city could not hear it.

All the metal objects that had been assimilated by the Metal Progenitor were vibrating rapidly at an extremely fast speed and with a very small amplitude, projecting dense shockwaves towards their environment.

"Buzz ————"

The shock waves seem endless, and each shock wave resonates with the others.

Soon, a huge detection skill appeared that covered all areas of the city, above, underground, inside and outside the city.

From the load-bearing pillars in the building to the mice and cockroaches hiding their heads and tails, all of them were clearly presented in the mind of the metal progenitor.

Even those spies who borrowed stealth spells and stealth scrolls to achieve stealth had nothing to hide.

The Metal Ancestral Dragon met the necromantic agents tiptoeing underground, spotted the Pure Light Wizard wearing an invisible magic cloak and searching the streets for the whereabouts of the gem chest, and saw the leyline wizard who used rock and earth magic to swim quickly in the dirt.

The Metal Ancestral Dragon easily grasped the secrets of many people, but still did not see his own gem chest.

"I'm going to have to take back my previous assessment. This is not a despicable thief, but a highly skilled thief with despicable deeds. ”

The Metal Ancestral Dragon murmured:

"Nerefar, I have to admit that you did have two helpers with the path of fate. I didn't even find the breath of the gem chest inside and outside the city. ”

The Metal Ancestor Dragon knew in his heart:

Wizards alone can't do that.

Due to the fact that he had enslaved the core of the "wizard" plane for a long time with other dragon colleagues, the metal progenitor's understanding of "magic" was only slightly weaker than that of the core of the "wizard" plane.

With a slight discernment of its experience and knowledge of magic, the Metal Ancestral Dragon was able to conclude that at least one non-wizard extraordinaire was involved in tonight's events.

So, what kind of extraordinary person can do it without being discovered by it?

Instead of flying around like a headless fly, the Metal Protosaurus floated quietly in place, lost in thought.

It first remembered Jay Spade's anomaly prior to the theft of the gem chest, a state similar to that of mind control.

Jay Spade left the warehouse and returned to the office, when Path Tinda, who had not yet been possessed by the metal progenitor's body, noticed that the aura of the gem chest had suddenly disappeared from his senses.

By the time the Metal Primordial Dragon took possession of Paith Tinda's body, the Gem Chest was completely gone.

Then came its move to search the whole city extensively.

It was only half a minute between Jay Spaid's return to the office and the metal progenitor's control of Pais's body into the air.

In just half a minute, the Metal Ancestral Dragon couldn't find the gem box at all, and it couldn't even communicate with the gem box and make it vibrate.

This really made the metal progenitor dragon wary.

Only it knows how terrifying it is to be so unaware of such an existence.

If the other party is not here to steal, but to assassinate, assassinate, or poison, then it is simply an opponent who cannot be guarded against.

"Wait, assassination..."

The Metal Ancestor Dragon's eyes trembled slightly, and he thought of the formidable figure.

"At this time, there are few existences that can snatch the metal gem chest under my nose and be completely undiscovered by me, but each of them has some confidence to provoke me.

"The Shadow Lord who has not been resurrected is counted as one, and then there are the Shadow Executioners and the Core of the "Escape" Plane who were banished to the Wasteland, and the Assassination Angel who was sealed in the Angel Enterprise Consortium.

"And those super-holy wizards who have studied wild magic by chance. These guys themselves don't have a high level of life, but as long as they use enough magical energy, they can still use wild magic to temporarily blind my vision.

However, the super-saint wizard was afraid that the shackles of fate would bind him again, and he would not dare to enter the natural world easily. Overall, I'm more inclined to have the members of the Star Palace stealing my chest than the group of super-saint wizards. ”

The Metal Ancestral Dragon looked up at the sky, gazing at the brilliant star map, and quickly checking the stars for tonight.

"The core of the 'escape' plane and the Shadow Executioner have not carved out a secondary plane in the inner starry sky. The Lord of Shadows must have three dark gods resurrected before they can appear. The only thing that could have stolen the metal gem chest was the Assassination Angel. ”

The Metal Ancestral Dragon raised its finger to the sky.

In the process of elongation, its right index finger turned into a metal antenna with a height of more than ten meters.

Without the help of a ritual circle or an interstellar communicator, the Metal Ancestral Dragon completed the process of communicating with the Metal Creation Group with its assimilated body alone.

Five seconds later, the metal progenitor's right hand returned to its original form.

"No, it doesn't seem like the assassination angel did it. She's still locked up in the brain controller. It's just that about half a year ago, there was a serious energy spill in the laboratory where she was being held. Could it be that the assassination angel just took advantage of this experimental accident to separate a small part of his will and enter the inner starry sky..."

The Metal Ancestor Dragon pondered, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Although the Assassination Angel is called "Angel", compared to the Angel of Space and Gravity Gironz and the Angel of Time and Evolution Serenti, her own strength is not strong, but her ability is special.

On the premise of knowing that the enemy may be her, using some targeted methods can still lock her tracks.

Whether or not she did it, the Metal Ancestral Dragon was going to give it a try.

The metal progenitor dragon tore open the robe on its chest, revealing its iron-gray chest.

A large metal spike poked out of his chest and pointed straight into the night sky.

These spikes form a column like a fountain gushing out from the mouth of a pipe, and the pillar stretches out its "branches" in all directions like the canopy of a giant tree, weaving a huge iron curtain.

With the metal progenitor dragon as the center, more and more of the night sky was obscured by the metal iron curtain, but the humans and wizards below did not react.

Cover, this obscuring iron curtain has changed from iron gray to transparent appearance under the control of the metal progenitor dragon.

Whether it is starlight or moonlight, everything can shine through the Iron Curtain, but the things under the Iron Curtain cannot escape, and it is impossible to climb up through the Iron Curtain, nor activate the stars in the night sky to open the portal.

Such an iron curtain could be extended extremely quickly.

Almost within three seconds of its appearance, an urban area with a radius of more than ten kilometers had fallen into its encirclement.

Another three seconds passed, and a large area of land outside the city stepped into the back road of the city.

In the past three seconds, a third of the Resurrection Land has been captured by the Metal Ancestral Dragon.

At the same time, the transparent iron curtain shook slightly, and dense seismic waves fell to the ground like torrential rain.

Grass and trees are windless and automatic.

Cats, dogs, insects, and pigs are frightened and jumping.

The light bulb flickered, alternating between light and dark.

Humans are creepy, and their hairs stand on end.

The wizards whose perception is far beyond ordinary people only feel that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them, and their backs can't help but chill.

The necromantic in the Necronomicon Sect felt a tremor from the depths of their souls as if they were facing a great enemy.

The bodies of the Dead Steel soldiers who were transforming the energy hub underground were clicking and shaking, showing signs of downtime.

Only the Captain of Dead Steel escaped with the crown covering his head, and his actions continued as before.

The movement that swept across the Tatis region came and went as fast as it came.

Fifteen seconds after the Iron Curtain appeared, the Metal Ancestral Dragon found the answer it wanted.

It's just that this answer is somewhat unexpected.

It's back to before this evening.

At that time, Li Nuo had just settled in a tavern outside the city.

He disguised himself as a traveling merchant and asked for a modest room.

Music in the tavern travels down the hallway, slightly lifting the door panels.

Li Nuo raised his hand to lay down the spell barrier, smoothing out the noise coming from outside the door, turning this small guest room with only a single bed and bedside table into a secret room for his own solitude.

The voice of the assassination angel sounded in Li Nuo's ears:

"I've thought about it, and the evacuation process after we get the gem box at night may not go very well."

"Oh? Why? The single bed in Li Nuo's room was put into a magic pocket, and he took out his rocking chair and sat down.

"The metal progenitor, Thalsali, is suspicious by nature and has his own cosmic power in the alien sky. It should be able to hear about the turmoil I caused in the Angel Business Consortium when I first entered the inner starry sky. ”

Li Nuo listened attentively and did not speak.

The Assassination Angel continues:

"The Metal Ancestral Dragon can determine that my main body is still in the Angel Enterprise Consortium, but it will also infer from the experimental anomaly I caused that I have divided a part of my will to enter the inner starry sky. It will use a special method to search for my whereabouts. ”

"What is this method?" Li Nuo asked.

Assassination Angel Response:

"I told you that the principle of the Veil of the Worlds is to copy an object from its past state and replace it in its present state, right?"

This sentence is not difficult to understand.

Suppose there is such a plot of land, which was leveled five minutes ago, but now a big hole has been dug.

The "Veil of Otherworldliness" can be like a curtain covering the land, changing the appearance of the land five minutes ago, so as to hide the fact that the land has been dug out of a large hole.

Li Nuo recalled the principle of the "Veil of Separation from the World" in his mind, and then nodded and hummed.

Assassination Angel Says:

"There is a downside to this extraordinary ability that involves plane-time transportation. Anyone who knows about this ill can use it against me. I'm going to have to work hard to explain to you what this ill is. ”

"Please."

"You take out two identical teacups first."

Li Nuo did as he was told, and took out two clear glasses from his magic pocket.

Not knowing what the assassination angel did, the two glasses disappeared in a flickering for half a second, and then reappeared.

Assassination Angel Says:

"Try to tell if you can find the glass I've protected with the Veil of Otherworld."

Li Nuo stared at the two cups in his hand, looked at them carefully, and subconsciously threw out the deconstruction.

In this moment...

Deconstruction instantly distinguishes the cup that is protected by the "Veil of Otherworldhood".

Li Nuo had the feeling that he accidentally saw the answer to the exam, but he still had to pretend that he didn't know...

But leaving aside the information from the deconstruction, how can he rely on his own judgment to find the right cup?

Li Nuo frowned and thought.

Two cups turned from side to side in his hands.

The translucent fingerprints on the walls of the cup were somewhat conspicuous in the light of the setting sun, and Li Nuo noticed their presence.

Li Nuo controlled the movement of his fingers and stopped making more fingerprints on the cup.

He raised his hand and placed the cup in front of his eyes, his gaze focused on the existing fingerprints.

Something wonderful happened.

The cup on the left, in the subconscious rotation he just now, appeared a new fingerprint.

The one on the right doesn't see that.

Li Nuo rubbed it vigorously with his right hand a few times, but except for the crunching and rubbing sound, he did not leave any fingerprints on it.

"You've discovered the drawbacks of the Veil of the World."

Assassination Angel Says:

"The more power I put into the Veil of Otherworldhood, the better the Veil of Otherworldhood will perform. Like you'll see next..."

Li Nuo looked at the cup in his right hand, and saw that there were some extra fingerprints on it out of thin air, which were the ones he had just left.

He rubbed the cup again, and new fingerprints appeared on it, no longer like before, no matter how he fiddled with it, no fingerprints appeared.

"See. The more power I use, the more realistic the Veil of Otherworldly Beings becomes, and it is able to take on the details of what external objects exert on it. And when my strength is insufficient, it becomes what you saw before, and it can no longer change in detail with external stimuli. ”

Assassination Angel says:

"You can tell the cup protected by the Veil of Otherworldhood by looking at the details of your fingerprint, and the Metal Ancestral Dragon can do that, and it's even more detailed than you.

"To use a simple analogy, to fool your vision, I only need to put in 10 energy. If you want to fool the metal progenitor dragon, you have to pay at least 100,000 energy.

"You create a new fingerprint on the cup by turning it, and the Metal Protosaurus can do something similar. It can cause a wide range of vibrations of metal objects, to propagate ubiquitous shock waves, and create a large number of 'fingerprints' at the same time.

"When an area is supposed to vibrate with the seismic wave, but because of my limited power, I can't let the 'Veil of the World' keep up with the frequency of the seismic wave, this incongruous detail will be discovered by the Metal Ancestral Dragon."

Assassination Angel Says:

"Unfortunately, my strength has been used up too much, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to cope with the search for the metal progenitor. If we don't leave the detection range of the gem chest the first time we get it, then it is a sure thing that we will be discovered. ”

"I see what you mean. So what do we do? Li Nuo touched his head.

Assassination Angel Says:

"I don't have enough strength, but yours is still sufficient."

"Mine?" Li Nuo blinked, and did not bypass the bend for a while. (End of chapter)
