"Then it seems you have another idea." Wang Ningwei suddenly smiled peacefully.
After hearing this, Eswig also looked at Wang Ningwei in surprise.
At this time, the two women looked at each other and understood their respective thoughts in an instant.
When smart people get along with ordinary people, they can work well together.
But when two extremely smart people are together, a slight deviation in their thoughts and guesses about their respective positions will lead to completely different results, so sometimes the efficiency is not high.
Wang Ningwei said: "Ying, shall I say it first?"
After seeing the other party nodding, Wang Ningwei, who never liked to be suspicious, took the lead to speak frankly and honestly: "I also released the 'Grease Technique' at the first moment, but the range of my spell was a little bit behind, so I saw those goblins falling down early. When I did it, I knew someone else was casting spells."
"According to the spell master list, among the eight people who have learned the grease spell, except for the first one who fell to the ground in the first wave of attacks, the other seven people include you. I combined observation and the 'Spell Identification' skill at the time to confirm that none of them had used it. This spell."
After hearing what Wang Ningwei said, Eswig also smiled lightly and said: "The moment I saw you casting a spell and raising your hand, I knew you were going to cast the 'Greas' spell. Naturally, I will not cast this spell again. At that time I choose to continue observing the other 18 people except you."
When she saw Wang Ningwei unleashing the "Greasing Technique", she knew the outcome of this battle was decided.
Those goblins could only rely on surprise attacks to seize the opportunity. Once they catch their breath, there is no big difference between 20 goblins and 2 goblins.
Eswig continued, "After I screened it, I determined that if there really is that mentor, he should not be able to sneak in in disguise, especially the more lonely players who are the ones I focus on. .”
"After the suspicion of everyone in the team was eliminated in the back row, I naturally started to pay attention to the open space behind me. When the dead leaves that were intact when we passed by were suddenly trampled to pieces, I knew that an invisible person was approaching."
At this time, Wang Ningwei understood the other party's thinking from Eswig's answer, "If you infer that the other party is Zhongxia from the fact that you can only cast the 'invisibility spell', then it would be too risky to directly cover him with the greasy spell." What if he is really exposed?"
Both women are not stupid. If that one is really Zhongxia, and the other party did not reveal it to them in the QQ group, they will know that this time he is responsible for tracking them.
This shows that there is definitely something unspeakable about Midsummer.
"Don't be nervous, little Weiwei." Eswig joked, "You might as well be some invisible thief, so I always have to rule it out. If that person is Zhong Xia, he will definitely have a way to get there. That’s the kind of situation where you successfully escape from danger.”
When Eswig said these words, he was even more confident than Zhao Xu.
"And after this test, no one in the team will suspect that the Floating City has sent people to follow us. In this way, knowing that the other party exists is limited to the two of us, doesn't it also help him?"
Wang Ningwei looked at Eswig with a hint of amusement, "Ying, I think you seem to be more confident than him."
"Haha, if he can't solve that situation, then he deserves to be caught by us. He is a completely pig teammate." Eswig said lightly, as if he was not worried about what might happen to Zhao Xu.
"He casts the second-level spell 'Swift Flight'. It only takes a short spell to release it. The invisibility itself makes it very concealable."
"Furthermore, I deliberately recited the 'Grease Technique' spell loudly, and the wind whistle was quite loud at that location, so he was able to successfully cast the spell and fly away without anyone noticing. Naturally, he would not The grease left traces, so I successfully eliminated the suspicion that aroused everyone in the inn."
Eswig talked to Wang Ningwei.
The second-level arcane spell "Swift Flight" is a weakened version of the third-level arcane flying spell. It is mainly powerful in that it can cast the spell and take off in an instant, without the need to recite a spell and make a few seconds like the flying spell. Casting posture.
At the same time, the spell level is one level lower, and a level 3 mage can cast it. The only problem is that it can only fly for 1 round (6 seconds).
This is why Eswig is sure that if that person is Zhao Xu, he will definitely be able to escape silently.
Among all the low-level mages around Mystra, Zhao Xu is the only one who can freely cast various unpopular spells.
For the spells here today, it's not that everyone doesn't want to cast the "Greasiness Spell". On the one hand, it's a question of whether to learn it, and on the other hand, there's a question of whether there are any preparations in the limited two or three spell slots.
Even if you prepare a scroll, you still have to spend time taking out the corresponding scroll from your backpack or scroll box, and then spread it out to cast the spell.
This process is also time-consuming.
"But I suspect that he did not release the 'Swift Flying Technique'." Eswig still expressed his private judgment.
"Indeed, in an emergency, everyone will not think about the best or lowest cost method, but start with path dependence." Wang Ningwei analyzed, "Maybe he got some new magic items. .”
"What about you? In fact, you didn't need to set up a 'magic alarm' just now." Eswig looked at Wang Ningwei and said, "My greasy technique was more or less to distinguish possible enemies and eliminate everyone's suspicions. "
"I?"
At this moment, Wang Ningwei's face also showed a bright color, "I have told Zhongxia through that spell, and Zhongxia also told me his answer."
"Our testing of each other ends here."
Zhao Xu looked at the silver thread shining in the sun and smiled silently.
The initial annoyance of being discovered just arose, and then disappeared immediately.
If he wasn't prepared to be discovered in the first place, his plan was too crude.
Zhao Xu, who only has second-level spells, has very limited means when facing these players with first-level spells.
So Zhao Xu was prepared to be exposed by those two smart girls from the beginning.
What Antinoya told him at the time was to "deal with the robbers without revealing his identity", which determined whether a magic item belonged to him.
And as long as he doesn't show his face in front of those novice mages, his identity is not exposed.
Even the "magic warning" placed by Wang Ningwei could only be guessed that someone followed them after they left.
Unless Wang Ningwei shouts his name to his face later.
Otherwise, there is a long way to go before Zhao Xu reveals his identity.
Zhao Xu knew from the beginning that he could not take the initiative to reveal his identity, so he did not tell the other party about it in the QQ group.
Some things are completely meaningless if you deliberately cheat and use loopholes that others know about.
In particular, he knew that if he really leaked it to the two women on QQ, everyone's subsequent performance would definitely be seen through.
Even if he leaks this matter, he may not be able to hide it from Antinoya at the moment it happens.
Zhao Xu looked at the silver thread at this time and knew that this was the message Wang Ningwei left for him.
She couldn't tell him openly that she, Wang Ningwei, had guessed Zhao Xu's existence, but she had to make sure that both of them reached a tacit understanding.
This kind of silver thread shining brightly in the sun is too obvious, even if it is the material required for the "Magic Alarm" spell.
Wang Ningwei could completely cover up the silver thread with the surrounding dead grass.
So after Zhao Xu used the "detection trap" spell to rule out the possibility that "the silver thread on the surface was used to cover up other traps," it meant that the silver thread was a clue that Wang Ningwei left behind to tell him.
It also meant that she had opened an opening to respond to Zhao Xu's temptation since Zhao Xu was not highly concealed.
Zhao Xu also smiled bitterly. Although he relied on his secondary quick burst, he was confident enough to leave the scene before the other party took action against him.
But he just wanted to give the other party a little hint, so that the other party could cooperate and control these floating city mages who were seeking death.
But Zhao Xu didn't expect that Wang Ningwei would go straight to the point, test him in reverse, and even try to tell him how to continue to maintain a tacit understanding.
Zhao Xu bent down, almost lying down, observing the slender and shining silver line.
After he gently touched it with his hand, sure enough, the silver thread was knotted.
Zhao Xu immediately understood that Wang Ningwei was telling him how to verify that he was Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu quickly estimated the time.
The whistle range of the magic alarm is about 6 meters in radius. If only the "sound alarm" is selected, then when triggered, a harsh sound will erupt that is enough to be heard by people within a 20-meter radius.
If you choose "mental alarm", the caster can receive the alarm prompt as long as he does not leave the 1.5 kilometers range.
If he delays for a long time, once Wang Ningwei walks out of the 1.5 kilometers range, the other party will not receive the prompt.
Next, Zhao Xu followed the prompts on the silver line, took the bell as the center point, walked to a range six meters away, and began to move in and out of the edge cordon.
The magic alarm was constantly activated by him, and the mental signal rippled in the air, drifting in the direction of Wang Ningwei.
