Chapter 123: The so-called lone wolf
Another Awoken is dead.
If it is in the main world, it is normal for this kind of second-order and third-order awakened person to die dozens of times a day.
But in this fantasy world it's different.
In terms of the overall situation, although the whole world is still gathering manpower and material resources to sustain a world war.
But for the Awakened, the current environment is very simple and comfortable.
They have resources, they have intelligence, and they are still dominating the world situation.
In terms of individual strength, even a strong local wizard like Dumbledore with a fourth- or fifth-order level may not be able to last long in the hands of the hunting team, and the locals are not good at fighting.
And this time, the deceased [Reverse Snow], after several years of getting along, everyone knows a little bit about him.
He is a standard lone wolf awakener, from zero to third-order, this kind of resume is no longer an ordinary awakener.
The Awakened are a circle of frequent information exchanges, and everyone has a clear understanding of various growth routes.
Among them, hunting group members are a very common way to grow.
The first impression of those members of the hunting group is that they are professional, systematic, disciplined, and good at squad combat.
The well-trained hunter group of seven is able to show great tactical toughness, and they are capable of performing any complex mission in any harsh environment.
Of course, there is a distinction between professional hunting groups and small gang-like groups for warmth.
And the growth route of "lone wolf awakener" is synonymous with "being able to fight".
Among them, typical representatives, such as summoners - Wang Shui.
Wang Shui has not encountered many dangers, mainly because as an awakened person of the life department, he does not need to participate in the system recruitment frequently, and he has only experienced three fantasy worlds until now.
He can become stronger by learning, and he can make money by doing a small business (he is still losing, and he continues to lose a lot of money).
After leaving Brother Hei, Wang Shui didn't think about joining the hunting group to grow up, but he wanted to find a job after he grew up.
Although the growth path is a bit messy, Wang Shui does have a typical lone wolf strength, and among the awakened people who are of the same second order as Wang Shui, there are definitely few who can take over the one-and-a-half moves of the nephrite sister.
This is the confidence of Wang Shui to continue as a lone wolf, yes, at present, the Russell family is not the confidence of Wang Shui.
And that third-order [Reverse Snow] brother belongs to another typical, typical of strong personal ability.
He is a powerful [Multi-Elemental Mage], but in fact, this profession has nothing to do with [Elemental] in the conventional sense.
Conventional elements refer to the basic senses that make up the world, such as [earth, air, water, fire], [gold, wood, water, fire, earth] and the like, which are the early scientific theories of early intelligent civilizations that want to summarize the laws of the composition of the macrocosm.
Later, because of the influence of extraordinary powers, there were more thunder, wind, and qi, and there was no one right or wrong, but the classification was different.
The "multi-element" of Brother [Reverse Snow] refers to the ability of multiple factors to interfere in an abstract sense.
For example, his signature ability, [Mental Cause Erasure], is able to amplify the negative emotions of the enemy, such as subjective pain, subjective suspicion, and even anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other states.
Whatever the other person does, they will feel anxious, which will lead to mistakes and failures.
Another of his abilities, [Mental Impurities], is able to make the enemy unconsciously mix various fatal mistakes in a long period of behavior, such as making some authors unconsciously write typos.
This ability is quite fatal for a powerful spellcaster, and during a long spell casting or long ritual, if you write the wrong message and read some wrong information, it is a relatively kind way to die on the spot.
Brother also has a lot of nausea ability to affect others, and he is very good at creating natural death, such as letting patients take the wrong medicine because of negligence.
He's a bit of a [Psychic] spellcaster, but in fact he's a [Mystic] spellcaster, and his abilities aren't considered psychic types, and he won't be limited by the Overworld.
All in all, he's a wild bastard, a powerful lone wolf who makes himself appear luckier by making others unlucky.
Maybe I can't crit, but you'll be MISS!
So such a genius died inexplicably, which still shocked Wang Shui.
With Wang Shui's understanding of the Resistance, even if Dumbledore and Grindelwald were allowed to attack at the same time, it would be absolutely impossible to leave [Reverse Snow].
Wang Shui would even worry that these two old men would have heart disease or something when they were old.
The survivability of a lone wolf is always higher than the output ability.
It is precisely because of this survivability that everyone chooses [Reverse Snow] to become a spy who infiltrates the rebels, rather than a more powerful [Dragon Rider].
But that's the case, the body of [Reverse Snow] has been confirmed, and even the live video of the scene has appeared in the communication channel built by the awakened themselves.
Wang Shui and Sylvia watched the video carefully several times and found no obvious clues.
It was an ordinary death sceneβ
In the Evening Wood Dense Forest, near a clearing that had just been carved out, Xue Xue froze to the ground in shock, his Awakened Space must have been sealed, and the extraordinary equipment that he should have on his body was also very complete.
Unlike Wang Shui, a guy who relies on his sister to protect himself, a normal lone wolf will have a lot of life-saving equipment on his body.
There are a lot of things on [Reverse Snow], but only the passive equipment is activated, that is, he was indeed attacked by a sneak attack, and then he was killed directly in seconds without reacting?
Suddenly, a line of information with a sound appeared in the squad channel provided by the system, which had not been used for a long time.
[Temporary Allies Warning! The Awakened "Shield Babot" attacks the "Dragon Rider"! Warn! Warn! γ
[Dunbabt (m): It's just a test, and the protection of the system is still there. γ
[Dragon Rider (Dragon Hunting): Indeed, the system still provides a "primary protection enchantment", which doesn't seem to be our doing. Could it be that there is really an existence in the rebel army that can kill the reverse snow in seconds? γ
[Primary Protection Enchantment], the name of this spell seems very simple and low-level at first glance, but this thing is a real [Ninth Order Effect Reduction Spell].
It is somewhat similar to the [Mechanical Lock] that Aqua regia once encountered.
This is a spell that has been lowered from the ninth to the sixth order, and the downgrade only lowers the energy level, but does not reduce its magical property - protection against all damage, including divine attacks.
Primary protection can withstand any damage below the sixth order and last for a minute, which is no different from invincible at the level of their group of third-order awakened people.
And through the [primary protection enchantment] of the "deception" system, I have come to some difficult tasks, which is one of the common routines for playing fantasy worlds, and I have never heard of an abnormality in the system.
Therefore, the test of the previous two shows that the weak alliance of the Awakened is still effective.
[Half a bottle of water (none): Is anyone on site?] What's going on on site? It looks like it's on the battlefield. γ
[Fight for the improper hostages (m): I was there the day before yesterday, but I was just writing the battlefield record as a scout, and the supply point was opened up by the soldiers below, and we had to send supplies to the "Reverse Snow" brother every two months. γ
[Looking back at the map (m): I looked at the records, the supply points were selected randomly, and the executing soldiers also made anti-prophecy measures, so they should not be discovered. And we've been doing this for years, is it because "Reverse Snow" has recently gained power and has come into contact with some secrets, so that the rebels have targeted and disposed of it? γ
Secret? Have it?
The rebels' side is very simple, just fighting.
The so-called secrets, but the information of spies and the deployment of various troops, as well as various real-time attack plans.
But the pure logistics system is completely isolated from the war command system, and even Dumbledore, the initiator of the resistance, will not know military intelligence.
There are no secrets on the logistics side, just some scattered pockets.
Just like [Shield Babot] they are sure that it is not the killing within the Awakened, and Wang Shui is also sure that it is definitely not the hand of the rebels.
And at this time, the rebels had not yet discovered that their new leader was dead.
The other Awakened suspect the Resistance, but Aqua Kings suspects - Lord Voldemort.
The Awakened [Purple Grimoire], who died before and belonged to the Hunting Squad, was killed by the basilisk controlled by Voldemort.
Wang Shui didn't believe that it was a basilisk manslaughter, because during the time when the basilisk killed the [Purple Magic Book], several students were petrified with precision, and it was definitely not an accident that Harry guessed.
What's more, after the death of the [Purple Magic Book], someone changed the memories of everyone in Hogwarts, and that person clearly knew that no family member of the Purple Magic Book would come to inquire.
[Dunbabt (M): It seems that this level 3 fantasy world does have a scale of 4 danger, and maybe there is a danger on the rebel side that we don't know about. γ
[Looking back at the map (m): How do you say, shrink up?] There is no escaping proxy wars, and if this kind of mission fails, eighty percent will be sent to the more dangerous "real front". γ
[Divine Charism Petri Dish (m): I suggest shrinking, it's 1997, and there are still seven or eight years before the 2005 war. γ
[Looking at the map (m): It's hard to say about the quality of the soldiers, but if you really can't control the rebels, it's not good to continue grinding, but we want to hold the current territory, we need soldiers, we need resources. γ
[Dragon Rider (Dragon Hunting): It's nothing to go to the "Reality Frontline", my hunting group is stationed on the front line, but I don't want to admit defeat, so I also support the Turtle Retreat Defense. But do we really want to leave this hidden danger alone? The other party has the ability to hunt the awakened at will, will it be safe to shrink back? γ
[Dunbabot (m): Shrinkage is necessary, there is no need to vote, cooperate in terms of military output, the troops will preserve their power first, and we are not afraid of raising troops. As for ourselves...... Let's get together first, even if it's because the work is going to be scattered, it's best for everyone to stay close and notify each other immediately if there is an abnormality. γ
The default leader of the team this time, [Dunbabot], quickly made a decision.
[Half a bottle of water (none): Agreed, but I don't think we need to shrink in such a hurry, we can ask Voldemort to help top it. Because of overcapacity, he has recently exploded a lot of line-filling troops. If you train properly, you won't be afraid of a shortage of cannon fodder in proxy wars later. γ
Here, it is indeed Wang Shui who deliberately pulled Voldemort in.
[Looking back at the map (m): Good idea! That guy cares too much about the territory, but he doesn't care about us building a factory on his territory, and it just so happens that the frontal battlefield is handed over to him! I'll make a plan right away. γ
After that, the topic completely ignored the dead [Reverse Snow], which was the case with the Awakened, who were more surprised that the situation was out of control than death.
Sylvia, who finished reading the chat history together, met Wang Shui's eyes.
"What, do you still need to contact the Far Eastern Group? I don't think it's time to put more pressure on the battlefield. β
"You're the commander, you have the final say, I'm going to learn anyway."
Wang Shui sighed heavily as he spoke.
"What, worried about security? Do you want to go back to Europa for a permanent stay? β
"Of course not, while Voldemort doesn't necessarily have the ability to kill the Awoken, he is certainly more suspicious than the Resistance.
Let my sisters move to the Far East, people will go first, and the laboratory will be handed over to me to slowly dismantle, and everyone will rest for a while. β
Wang Shui has an obsession with rest, especially in the last two years.
Maybe it's because he has done too much scientific research, which has caused him to be a little tired, and now in addition to necessary research, he just wants to read books and learn theoretical knowledge, and if he just studies, in his opinion, it is rest.
"If you're worried about your safety, you can hide and let us protect you.
If you're worried about proxy wars, the rebels can still participate in the war with just a push from me, but they can only be your war agents. β
Sylvia was unusually calm, and even began to flip through the piles of reports at hand, which was her job.
After all, her growth path is much more dangerous than this kind of petty fight. When she was in the third order, she really hovered on the verge of death every day, and every mission was a knife licking blood.
"For the time being...... Okay, just use the identity of [Geralt] to push me to the table, master this army first, and then be prepared.
Still, I'm going to make a trip to the Far East tonight to get some knowledge. β
After Wang Shui finished speaking, the small lounge fell silent, and for a while, only the sound of Sylvia flipping the paper.
The silence lasted for a long time, and every now and then my sister would bring Sylvia a new report, taking away the old report that had already been approved, and some drinks and refreshments.
Finally, after Wang Shui seriously thought about all kinds of information, he stood up directly from the sofa.
"I'm going to see the scene of the death of the snow."
"Do you have specific location coordinates?"
"I just found it through a drone."
As he spoke, Wang Shui had already walked to the hanger and put on his loose coat like a cloak.
"Take me with you."
Sylvia's bland request, or statement, made Wang Shui stunned for a moment.
However, he still reached out and pressed Sylvia's shoulder, and the next moment, the two of them came to the dense forest at night in a twist.
Evening Wood Forest is welcoming the arrival of Wang Shui.
They could sense the intimate and comfortable atmosphere on Wang Shui's body, which was the aura of the [Plant Affinity] ability that originated from the [Mastery Level].
Even predatory plants with very low IQs and strong aggression will show a friendly attitude towards aqua regia.
Like the late trees here, they are not completely transcendent plants, and they do not have the ability to think finely.
But they are using plants to exude a pleasant energy field.
The dense forest at night was pitch black, and Wang Shui released [Shimmer Vision] for the two of them, and summoned a low-brightness ball of light to accompany them.
He used the ability to fly at low altitudes, but if he wanted to keep his movements quiet and stealthy in this dark forest, he could only go around the big trees quickly and slowly.
Sylvia, who was jumping lightly on the branches behind her, looked very calm, and she could always keep a constant distance from Wang Shui.
The long-term conducting work has made her more quiet and intellectual, and more soft and attractive, but it has not made her physical fitness regress.
The apparition was not far away, and in less than two minutes, they had found an artificially carved space.
Wang Shui also successfully found the location of several corpses in the video.
The film, which was shot by the Forced Fighters who followed up, took the body but did not clean up the scene.
Wang Shui first glanced at Sylvia, and then released a small drone.
After confirming that no one was nearby, a dazzling black and white light rose in the dark and dark forest.
The light fell, the huge circular array was retracted, and the two of them looked at the crystal fragment in Wang Shui's hand at the same time, with many dark red silk threads on it.
After feeling those soul fragments, Wang Shui frowned and made a serious and decisive judgment:
"It was the Awakened who did it, someone cleaned up the souls that escaped nearby."
