252.Beginner's Investigation Action - Add more for the "Huo Zhen is good" brother [2/20]
AndrΓ© and his servants continue to plan and refine their tactics, while Murphy's little players don't have that much to worry about.
They had already started the operation, but not on a large scale, only four people to be exact.
Two NPCs and two players.
Two mentors and their two apprentices.
Mr. Heru, the recouting psychic, who had just been freed from Baroness Miriam's negotiating team, would still be basking in the fond memories of the previous high-class drinking party in Batasin, but the banquet seemed to "drain" his energy, allowing him to yawn incessantly as he rode his unique donkey.
However, this seemingly unreliable honor does not hide that the former Ring Tower Psionic Master is now a member of the Crimson Keep's "high-end spellcasting power".
His mastery of detecting psionic spells is exactly what Murphy and Trass need most at the moment, so after Heru follows the witch hunters to the Crimson Keep, he is immediately given a heavy responsibility as he wishes, and even receives the personal teaching of Tracy, the psionic master.
This was definitely a surprise for Heru, after all, there were less than five psionic masters even in the Tower of the Ring, and none of the positions they held there were at a high level that Heru, a Black Iron Scout, could reach.
This fully represents the great success of Helu's workplace strategy of "rather being the head of the chicken than the queen of the cow"!
"I said, why are you languishing? Obviously a young man younger than me. β
Lady Dorothy, flapping her newly-grown wings, experienced the unusual sensation of flying, and she whispered as she followed Master Heru's ridiculous donkey:
"You look like you haven't slept for two days and two nights, and your body has been hollowed out?"
"Alas, who made those northern ladies so enthusiastic, the beauties who grew up in the great wilderness are as cold and arrogant as ice and snow, but they are burning like a flame inside, and my sick and dead teacher is right about my teachings!
Women, what a terrible thing that will make gifted people fall willingly, and the first hurdle to become a good psionic master is to refuse temptation! β
Master Heru couldn't help but whisper a little smug.
He, a poor boy from the countryside next to the verdant forests of Antani, never imagined that he had the potential to become a "little white face".
But he was still in his right mind, and knew that the little power and status he was enjoying now came from the value of the local lord, so he stopped saying these words, and instead pulled himself together and turned to look at Lady Dorothy beside him.
He asked in a whisper:
"Aren't you bringing more people? Just two of you and your disciples are not afraid of accidents when they touch the big camp of the jackals? β
"My current subordinates are all a bunch of rubbish, it's okay to let them engage in intelligence, and I don't feel at ease if they want to do this kind of thing."
Dorothy pursed her lips and said:
"What's more, isn't there still you and your disciples? With the help of your reconnaissance skills, Yaya and I are safe, as long as you two don't get into trouble. β
"Don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else, after all, Grand Duke Triss hasn't officially taught me the psionic spells of the Plastic Energy Department, but I'm an old expert in terms of reconnaissance skills. I've served Marshal Loren before!
Trust me, absolutely professional! β
Master Heru immediately puffed up his chest and assured the new vampire lady beside him:
"As long as you're light enough, we'll be able to get you out safely, but I'm curious to see what it's like to be a vampire as a human?"
"It's a great feeling to wander in the night, and all kinds of mysteries are like a new life, but as soon as the annoying sunlight appears, you want to tear off your delicate skin and bury yourself in the coldest of tombs."
Dorothy sighed.
She truthfully stated what she really thought after becoming a vampire, and then she glanced at Heru, who was looking at her wings curiously, and then said in a long voice:
"What? Are you also interested in the Midnight Blessing? β
"I'd say it's impossible to do without that, but my source of interest is probably not the same as yours, I came from the Tower of the Ring, and while I didn't see it as good as I saw it, I understood how supernatural forces worked.
Truth be told, the supernatural powers of vampires are nothing to mention in the face of true intelligence. β
Heru, who was dressed in a black robe, said honestly:
"If I were to choose to become a vampire at the risk of being beaten up or even cut off by my little aunt, there would be only one reason.
It is not a supernatural power, but an earthly power!
I want to get ahead, I want to go back to my hometown in style, bring my parents and family over and live a good life that they can't even think of.
But in a land ruled by vampires, no matter how much Lord Murphy claims racial equality, vampires will still be the uncrowned king of the darkness.
However, in the current situation of Translasia, it is not enough for me to fight hard and bet on everything I don't have at hand. β
"Hehe, you're funny, little one."
Dorothy flapped her wings to allow herself to fly nimbly from one side of the "war donkey" to the other, and she said to Master Heru:
"Call you stupid, you see these things better than most people, but call you smart, you dare to say what you think to a new acquaintance who is a member of the Vulture Clan.
I see, you're probably the kind of person who is fabled as 'smart but stupid'. β
"Hey, I just want to make a friend."
Master Heru pursed her lips, and Dorothy once again elongated her voice and said:
"Sharing your thoughts with strangers is not the way to make friends, it just makes me think you're a fool and hold on to your heart's desires. Kids, it seems that you are still lacking in dealing with others.
Why don't you join my Blood Rat Gang?
I now serve Lady Adele, who is the direct descendant of Lord Murphy, don't you want power and status?
Follow us in the shadows to get what you want!
Best of all, you don't even have to face the difficult decision of becoming a vampire or staying human. β
"That's exactly what I wanted!"
With a sly smile on the donkey, Heru whispered:
"I'm not stupid enough to make friends with any random stranger, but I have to talk to my little aunt before I join you, and only if she agrees can I choose to step into the shadows where you are.
Don't smile that weirdly! You goddamn vampire.
When I left the village with my little aunt, my parents asked my little aunt to take care of me, obviously I was older than her, but in short, under the witness of the verdant forest, Aunt Amber was already my guardian outside my hometown.
I have to ask her for advice on any important decision, it's a tradition in Antani, but I don't think it's going to be hard. β
Master Heru rubbed his smooth chin, and he whispered:
"The once shrewd little aunt is now captured by the magic of 'love', but she doesn't seem to realize that she has invisibly come too close to the straight but sluggish warrior
Alas, I knew that sooner or later her character would be eaten up and wiped clean by another man. Obviously she is a child of the verdant forest, but she is not chic at all.
It's nowhere near as open as I see in this regard. β
"You're with those witch hunters, aren't you?"
Dorothy had one last doubt, and she asked:
"You deserve to hold a public position in the Adventurer's Guild, why should you go into the shadows?"
"Well, I'm a psychic."
Heru shrugged his shoulders and said:
"I don't believe in the gods they have been preaching, the Tower of the Ring is not friendly to all gods, and those powerful psionics believe that the gods of the astral plane interfere with the material world with a purpose, which is the main reason why I can't join the Adventurer's Guild.
Okay, let's get down to business!
Come, bring this thing with you first. β
Heru took out a very special piece of metal from the psionic bag, and he reminded:
"It's called the 'Shadow Patch', it's a pretty special plug-in, put it in your Orb, it will show me where you are and strengthen the Mind Whisper between us.
Once you're on the stealth, you'll also strengthen your connection to the shadows and reduce your chance of being discovered.
It's also something I brought out of the Frontier Fortress and it's a good thing I keep privately, it's not a lot but it's pretty useful for thieves.
In the future, the Blood Rat Gang will come to me to buy it if they need it, and now that I am about to become a member of the Blood Rat Gang, it is easy to say the price or something. β
And when the NPCs are communicating, the two little players who are following behind are also communicating.
As the only apprentice of Master Heru at the moment, the thirty-year-old Yan-sang would be full of grumbling, and he rode the demon hunting horse he rented from the witch hunter and complained to the taciturn Frostfang Claw beside him:
"I had made an appointment with my brothers to take me to the Vulture Corridor tonight, and I heard that the equipment there was the best, but I was dragged over by my unreliable mentor to do this kind of thing.
It's a hidden mission, but this reward doesn't look good, what the hell is 'depending on the outcome of the mission'? β
Yansang complained, but the claws of the frostfangs were a social terror.
He just listened quietly to Yansang's complaints and didn't answer, Yansang was a little bored and turned his head to look at Yaya, he said curiously:
"Dude, why don't you speak? Dumb? Or is it offline? β
"Nope! I just don't like to talk. You say, I'll listen. β
"Hey, I understand, I understand, the master style, right? I understand that those of you who like to play thieves are like this, and you all have a heart to become a master. Alone, it sounds so cool. But I said, after you sneak in later, buddy, I'll be in charge of guiding you around, so won't you stammer?
What if a buddy gets a hand shake and leads you into the pile? β
"It's a mission, so you're not going to do it. After all, if you fail, you have to deduct favorability."
"Hey, it's boring, there's no sense of humor at all.
By the way, can you steal from NPCs? I have a bold idea, I think Master Murphy's flying sword is pretty handsome, or else."
"I tried it before, don't think about it, the sword that can't be stolen is self-conscious, if you dare to reach out and cut it down."
"6 Ah! I'm just saying, you really dare to try! However, if you dare to steal Lord Murphy, isn't there any punishment? β
"Why do you think I'm here?"
"Uh, got it."
A group of four people ran wild under the night, the demon hunting war horse under their crotch was very powerful, this kind of war horse cultivated by the witch hunter since childhood with natural psionic energy secret art is not only full of endurance and super fast, Heru Mage's donkey looks very undignified, but this beast can actually keep up with the speed of the demon hunting war horse, and it is not a serious donkey at first glance.
Maybe it's a "new product" developed by the Tower of the Ring?
In short, it took only a few hours for the four to reach the border of the Barony of Morland, settling in a bay on the Cadman River.
"It's less than 5 miles away from the Gnoll camp, we can't go any further, my apprentice and I will set up a reconnaissance spell here, but you two must obey our command when you two enter!"
Mage Heru found a place that was not easy to find, and he said solemnly to Dorothy and Frostfang's claws:
"Don't go where you won't be allowed to go, although I already have a specific map of the Gnoll's camp, I can't guarantee that there won't be any dangerous places.
Remember your mission, gather information and leave immediately! Don't do what you shouldn't. β
"Yes, I've been in the gang of thieves for a few months before, and I'm familiar with this job."
Ms. Dorothy, who has had an unusually rich career in the past, pulls up her face covering and dresses herself up like a vampire ninja.
She nodded to Heru, and then grabbed the apprentice's hand in the darkness and flew into the sky with him, galloping towards the gnolls camp in the distance.
Heru put the spell casting action of the Reconnaissance Eagle Eye Technique on the spot, and while fine-tuning the observation point, he said to the apprentice Yansang beside him:
"I'm in charge of Lady Dorothy's side to find the whereabouts of the wolf venom vampire, and you'll direct her apprentice to enter the core area of the gnollore camp, find some key objects and bury the positioning crystal."
"Roger!"
Yan Sang quickly cast the spell, but he still asked in a low voice:
"You've been in Batasin, I'll be straight ahead, I heard that you've been slept with by the ladies in turn? I've also heard that those mad ladies just want a taste of psionics. β
"You!"
Mage Heru's casting move almost got out of control.
He looked back at his apprentice with a smiling smile on his face, and scolded:
"Listen to whom! Why aren't you big or small? Is this a question you should ask as an apprentice? β
"Hey, you're not as old as me, what are you pretending? You slut mage, false serious! Come on, come on, tell me quickly, how many did you sleep? Is it moist or not? β
"Run, that's definitely run, crazy enough to be crazy and can even be called erosion, as for a few. Hey, why am I talking to you about this? You're my apprentice, now hurry up and cast spells!
Don't mess around, I'll teach you a new positioning technique when this mission is done.
And it's not me saying you, you are so talented in this area that you can't waste it, understand? Use more dim sum in learning, and knowledge will not disappoint you. β
On the other side, Lady Dorothy flew quietly in the night sky with her fangs, approaching the gnoll's camp, which was still chaotic even at midnight.
As she searched for a suitable place to land, she whispered:
"The six positioning crystals, three of you and three of me, are placed in the center of the camp in a triangle, and the distance between them cannot be less than 800 steps, and the central camp tent must be put in.
This is the first action of our Blood Rat Gang, and it depends on whether it can make a name for itself this time.
Are you still angry?
Yaya, I'm just kidding you."
"I was almost slashed by Master Murphy. I don't like this joke! I trust you, but you cheat me."
Dorothy was embarrassed.
She whispered:
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I will make amends, you say what you want, my apprentice, I will get it for you."
Frostfang's claws didn't speak, he was really angry.
It wasn't until the two of them had landed outside the camp and were about to walk in the shadows that he whispered to Dorothy:
"You said before that halflings have a thief's guild? I want to join! Also, don't have a next time, I don't have that much trust to share with other people."
"Ah, the Thieves' Guild, they don't have a branch in Transnesia."
Dorothy had a headache and said:
"The nearest guild stronghold is in Cato, I'll help you with the referral process, but you have to come to the Stalker Trial, and besides, I think the Blood Rat Gang can also join them, and it's actually pretty good to become a branch."
The female vampire took a deep breath as she looked at the camp of oversized alien monsters in front of her in the dark of night, she had never experienced such excitement in her previous life.
But she has been blessed by midnight and immortalized, and perhaps her dark life should be changed by it.
She turned back and smiled at the tooth behind her, and said:
"Let's go, my disciple, let's dance in the shadows."
"Hmm."
Frostfang's claw nodded, following Dorothy forward.
He skillfully perceives and summons the shroud of shadows, allowing himself to walk in the dark almost silently and enter a unique state of "visual occlusion".
Very similar to but different from other games of stealth, True Shadow will not be so generous to protect him, nor will he be pampered, he must walk carefully every step of the way.
But he is no stranger to it, as if walking in an ancient and quiet mysterious tomb, talking to the corpses that have been dead for hundreds of years and thousands of years.
He loved the feeling of being alone.
"Toot"
The orb of operation firmly tied to his wrist shook slightly, and then Yan Sang's voice resounded in his heart along with the spiritual vibration:
"The positioning has been confirmed, and the Eagle Eye Technique has begun!
300 meters ahead of you is patrolling a group of 7 gnolls with bloodthirsty hyenas, which, according to the domesticated hyena catsharks, have a keen sense of smell and want to avoid them.
Go to the left!
I've planned a new route for you, with your sneaking speed, you will reach the target area in about ten minutes, and it's good that there are not many monsters, and you can keep moving forward at this speed and direction at this speed. Anyway, buddy, your mentor is very beautiful, and there is a kind of spicy beauty of a big sister in society.
Turns out you like this genre? Tsk, real people don't show their faces, you can! β
"Smack"
Tooth slipped and almost fell out of the shadows, and he responded sternly:
"It's not!"
"Hahaha, I'm in a hurry, I understand, I understand, everyone is a man, I can understand. I've heard those sluts say,There's a R18 game mode hidden in this game.,And I'll tell you.,Dude got stuck with a very awesome bug before.γ
It is almost certain that their guess is true.
I suspect that after we continue to advance the plot to a certain extent, that water pipe will be able to be used, and won't the jockey be beautiful at that time? But remember to brush up on favorability, and occasionally give gifts or something, women eat this set. β
"Blanch! Be serious! This is a task! β
