There is a big difference between the maps of the real world and the game world. Although the directions of each address are the same, there are too many differences in the details.
Link only knew that Echo Valley was in the northwest of Gwent Mountain Forest, but he didn't know how to get there or the shortcuts.
The forest in the game does not have such lush vegetation at all. The bushes are as tall as a person, and there are thorns everywhere. As a modern person, once you squeeze in, you will get lost.
Fortunately, Yake and others are old mercenaries, living maps.
Along the way, Yake led the way, followed by Lucy, then Link, and finally the archer Gridan.
This is Link's arrangement, and there are some careful thoughts in it
After all, he just met this mercenary group. Although they seem to be good people, Link has to be on his guard. Yake and Lucy have relatively reserved personalities, and Link can't see their specifics. Thoughts, but Gridan is careless, with a personality that says nothing. Although this man is cheap, he has no bad intentions, so Link only dares to leave his back for him to protect.
However, what Link didn't know was that he was worried that the other party would cheat on him halfway, and the flamingo mercenary team was also very afraid of Link. This magician was too powerful and mysterious, and they were a little scared. At the last minute, do something black and eat black.
There is also a string in their hearts.
Just like that, the two sides walked 200 meters outside the Echo Valley cautiously.
There is a kinna tree with a height of 50 to 60 meters that is as thick as three people hugging each other. The canopy is very dense. All four of them climbed up, hid in the canopy, and looked at the valley in front of them.
There is a lying natural boulder at the mouth of the valley. The boulder is covered with vines, the vines hang down, and there are many bushes growing at the foot of the boulder. It is impossible to see the exact location of the entrance.
Archer Gridan pointed out to Link: "The entrance is just under the boulder, look there, it's just under the thickest vine, yes, it's there, see?"
Link squinted his eyes for a closer look, and really saw a faint black hole behind the dense vines.
"It's really secret." He couldn't help sighing, and he asked Yake again: "You can't see the situation in the valley here at all. How do you judge the number of people in the valley?"
Yake explained: "Every once in a while, someone will send some fresh fruit and seasoning spices into the valley. Let alone the fruit, this thing consumes every amount, but the spices, such as garlic, onion, and pepper, are consumed The speed is relatively stable, and the taste in Gwent Forest is heavy. From the consumption speed of spices, we estimate the number of people in the valley, which is about 100 to 150 people. Coupled with other information references, we can estimate roughly number of people."
Link nodded again and again: "It makes sense."
He carefully looked at the entrance of the valley, and asked again: "Is there any secret sentry near here?"
Yake shook his head: "These guys are very confident in the concealment of the valley, and there are no secret whistles outside the valley. But Taniguchi may be, Lucy said, she felt that Taniguchi had some abnormal aura, it seemed... there seemed to be detection magic. ",
Link glanced at Lucy in surprise: "Can you feel the abnormal breath?"
Some people are naturally sensitive to magic energy, which is normal. This is a kind of magic talent. In other words, if this Lucy learns magic, she should have some achievements.
Of course, Lucy is just a commoner with talent, but it doesn't matter if she has no money, let alone Bole discovers her talent, so she can only become an ordinary mercenary with a keen sense of magic.
Speaking in front of an official magician that she was sensitive to magic, Lucy felt a little guilty, but she still nodded and admitted: "I have a vague feeling, but I can't be sure."
Gridan added: "She was very accurate in her premonition. Several times we relied on Lucy's feeling to save a life."
Lucy rolled his eyes at him, her face was a little red, and she became more and more embarrassed.
Link didn't feel much. Since Lucy said that Taniguchi might have detection magic, let him detect it.
After thinking about it, he spent 1 point of mana to buy a level 0 magic.
primary detection
Level 0 Magic
Function: Roughly detect various breaths in the environment, including magic energy, elements, mysterious power, etc.
After purchasing the magic, Link began to cast spells.
This magic does not require a magic wand. He blinked his eyes, and the magic energy poured into his eyes, and a dim white light was emitted from his eyes. At the same time, the world in his eyes changed slightly.
Everything in front of him seems to be covered with a hazy halo. The ground is earthy yellow, the trees are emerald green, and the rocks are mixed with white gold elements. At the position of the mouth of the valley, Link can see the surrounding With a layer of faint transparent light.
This radiance has only a thin layer, just covering the mouth of the valley, its luster is as pure and transparent as water, with clear boundaries, it is the breath of magic energy.
It seems that Lucy's feeling is right, there is indeed detection magic at the entrance of this valley.
After finishing the basic detection magic, Link looked at the three mercenaries, but saw that the three of them looked at him in awe. Thinking about it, there was a light in one person's eyes. This is really a bit mysterious, and mystery creates awe .
At this time, the three mercenaries completely forgot how embarrassed they were when they first met Link. They had already admitted in their hearts that Link was a real magician.
"How is it?" Lucy asked.
Link nodded: "Your perception is very strong, Taniguchi does have magic."
Gridan suddenly laughed: "Let me just say, Lucy has always been very accurate."
Lucy looked happy too, and a little proud.
She is a complete layman in magic, and now her ability has been recognized by insiders, which feels very good. If this matter gets out, it will be enough to become a capital for Lucy in the mercenary world.
In the future, she can tell people that she can feel the breath of magic, and if a magician personally admits her ability, other mercenaries will definitely look up to her.
Werther was indeed very cautious. There was nothing to observe outside the valley. Link beckoned the three of them to climb down the tree.
When he got under the tree, Link began to cast a spell on Yake.
His wand pointed at Yake, and a watery radiance enveloped Yake's body. After flashing three times from top to bottom, Link pointed his wand at the ground beside him, and a faint radiance shot into the soil.
The soil on the ground immediately began to move as if alive. After a while, the ground began to bulge, first becoming a mud pillar, and then growing arms, legs, head, and finally facial features, and every detail of the body gradually became Clearly, when the magic is finally completed, a double that looks exactly like Yake appears, including his hammer and shield, and this real double also has them. If both of them remain motionless, it is impossible to tell who is real. who is fake.
"It's really amazing." The three bumpkin mercenaries looked at it with a dazed expression. When had they seen such a method before
Link pointed his wand in the direction of the valley entrance, and said softly, "Go, rush into the valley in a defensive posture."
This 'Yake' turned around immediately, and at the same time took off the shield on his back to block in front of him, with a expressionless face, he rushed towards the mouth of the valley without fear.
At the same time, Link said to Yake and others: "Come on, let's go to the valley entrance and wait. Once the substitute attracts the attention of the robbers in the valley, we will start attacking!"
This is the battle plan they discussed. In this plan, the four have their own division of labor.
Link, the magician, will be responsible for killing the enemy. He is the sharpest spear in the team. Yake and Lucy will guard Link. His job is to protect Link from sneak attacks by cold arrows. As for the archer Gridan , he will be responsible for making up the knife.
Seeing that Yake had rushed under the boulder, and then rushed into the valley without hesitation, Link waved: "Go, let's follow."
The three mercenaries surrounded Link and rushed towards Taniguchi together.
During the forward rush, Link's wand pointed at each person, and the water-like brilliance immediately wrapped around everyone's body.
Level 1 magic: cat's swiftness, which greatly improves the subject's agility, lasting for 20 minutes.
The three mercenaries obviously felt the power of magic blessing for the first time, with a look of surprise, Yake waved the shield in his hand, feeling that the shield in his hand was as light as a leaf. Lucy took a light step, and she felt as if she could fly. Gridan even exclaimed: "Is this magic? It's too powerful, I feel... I feel that I can run faster than a war horse!"
'Three bumpkins. ' Link secretly complained in his heart.
He divided his mind and controlled the real double to keep rushing forward in the valley. He is the releaser of magic. While sharing the perspective of the real phantom, he can also remotely control the opponent's actions.
The real stand-in didn't hide his whereabouts at all. He was like a Spartan warrior, charging bravely and fearlessly in the valley, roaring like thunder while charging.
"Werther, you coward, come out and fight me to the death!"
"White, you assless son of a bitch, get the hell out of here!"
"Witt, I'm your father!"
The voice of the real phantom is very loud, not only spread throughout the valley, but also at the mouth of the valley.
"Witt, I'm your daddy... daddy... dad~~"
At Taniguchi, the three mercenaries looked at each other. With such ridicule, if Werther could still hide in the valley, then he would not be a bandit leader, but a saint!
Those robbers would definitely go crazy seeing their leader being so insulted.
"Will the guys in the valley rush out all at once?" Lucy licked her plump, rosy lips, she was ready to kill.
Yake held a shield in one hand and a warhammer in the other, and said with a smile: "It's better to come out. When I finish this single task, I, Yake, can say that the four of us overthrew the Dark Brotherhood. Just rely on this, I can live my whole life nourished!"
At this time, the valley was already blown up, just like a stabbed hornet's nest.
