Chapter 41: Lucy's Safe House
The other side.
Lucy Pell has already left the area where adventurers are more concentrated just now, and has come to a more remote place, because there is no entertainment nearby, so there are not a large number of adventurers gathered here, just scattered with some boring guys who come here to hang out.
Lucy had already removed 'Stealth' at this point, for the same reason that she had removed the 'Haste' skill earlier. After all, in terms of her profession and her level, she doesn't have many magic liliangs, and it's not enough to maintain a 'stealth' state for a long time.
At this time, the girl's embarrassed figure and messy steps made her look less like a tried and tested 'masquerade' member, but like a bar girl who was drunk in a bar.
There were even a few rough men who looked extremely strong around him, and their hungry eyes like beasts ready to devour their prey glanced fiercely at Lucy's wonderful body. Through the black leather coat that has become transparent, even in the dark, you can see the faint skin and feminine features inside.
However, these people are all veterans who have been in the lawless zone for many years, and after carefully looking at the equipment on Lucy's body, they wisely chose to give up.
Although Lucy had already thrown away most of the equipment on her body when she started to escape, relying on the professional habits accumulated over the years, she still left some equipment that could save her life.
A delicate poison-hardened dagger, leather armor that had become transparent, and a sheepskin scroll that was always held in his hand.
Although the dagger and leather armor were well-made, they were not too rare and dangerous equipment, and they could not make these mercenaries who were already a little drunk who were not afraid of death retreat. After all, it is debatable how much of these two equipment abilities Lucy can exert in her current state, and these veterans naturally know this truth.
The main reason for the outlaws to retreat was the crumpled parchment that Lucy had always held in the palm of her hand.
Anyone with eyes can see that this is a magic scroll with low-level magic spells, this kind of parchment made of ordinary magic goatskin can only be used to record magic below the second ring, and the material of this parchment paper can't withstand a higher degree of magic and magic liliang, after all, it's just an ordinary magic goat.
But even the magic below the second ring is enough for these low-level mercenaries to think about it carefully, after all, there are many practical magic tricks in the second ring magic, such as the magic of the second ring spell - laughter.
Laughter is a spell that belongs to the spell family, and like most other spell spells, it is a type of magic that works on the soul of a living being, and through a magical shrill laugh, the creature who hears the laughter hallucinates and confuses its mind.
For these low-level melee classes with low magic resistance and little to no mana, it has an extraordinary effect.
There are many other low-level magic tricks like 'Laughter', which are highly effective against low-level non-caster classes. None of these magic tricks could withstand them as low-level adventurer mercenaries. People who live on the verge of life and death all year round will not take this gamble that will have a high probability of killing them.
Because I have experienced too many tests of life and death, I cherish life even more.
Under the constant gaze of all kinds of eyes around her, Lucy walked through the heart of the bustling town and came to the deserted suburbs.
Lucy didn't do nothing, but shook off a few mercenaries and criminals who were following her and expecting something to happen, and walked to the safe house in a disorderly manner.
It's a low, two-storey bungalow in a suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of a neighborhood that is surrounded by neither many nor too few inhabitants, so it's not very remarkable. At the same time, it is convenient to implement countermeasures in case of emergencies, of course, it is generally a means of 'escape'.
Lucy came to the safe house, took out the key, gently opened the door, looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, walked into the safe house and closed the door gently.
Lucy went straight to a second-floor bedroom, and sat on the bed with her knees crossed, her head buried and her body trembling slightly, looking extremely helpless and frightened, I don't know if it was the fear of Kylelius, the helplessness of being betrayed and abandoned by the church, or both.
A slight "click" of the door opening came from downstairs, and in the silence of the room, it was even clearer.
Lucy was completely unresponsive, as if she hadn't heard anything at all.
"Pak~Pak~" The sound of slow footsteps is getting closer and closer, and it is obvious that someone has come up, as a safe house specially prepared by the Daker Church, there should be no non-mission personnel entering and leaving.
Is it the enemy?
Apparently not.
"Yo, Red Rose, what a miserable look!"
A young male voice came into Lucy's ears, and the flirtatious tone made people feel unusually unhappy, and so did Lucy.
"Bang!" a dull low sound rang out from where the flirtatious male voice had just appeared.
'Red Rose' is the code name that Lucy received when she became 'Red Mask', which is the code name for all members of the "Masquerade" and refers to each other by this codename.
After all, if you use your real name, you will find out your true identity, and secondly, you will be caught by some strange magic skills and be hurt or even killed by it, and some curse spells need to be used as a spell material by the caster's real name.
The code name of the 'Red Mask' generally begins with the word 'red' or 'deficit', and the word 'silver' or 'white' will appear in the code name of the 'Silver Mask', and so on, just by looking at the code name, you can know its status in the 'ball'.
"Ahh It's as easy to get angry as ever. The flirtatious voice sounded again, but not from the same place, but by the bedside where Lucy was sitting.
Just now, Lucy picked up the feather pillow on the bed and threw it at the opposite side that looked empty with the effect of 'lethal throw'.
Although 'Lethal Throw' is a Tier 4 Stalker class skill, throwing weapons thrown in this way is usually very powerful. But even if the throwing technique is more powerful, it depends on what is being thrown, otherwise the power will be much lower.
And Lucy just threw an ordinary pillow this time, even if an ordinary person stood there, there was no need to dodge at all, and even if she was hit, it was only a little painful.
But here Lucy uses a magic primary skill - "Mana Enhancement"
