"Then the question is, if I were in front of you, would you be blind?"

Kellas choked for a moment, then punched me angrily and said: "So!! You are kidding me, okay, I am just metaphorical! And now I might have to face a new person soon." I'm an enemy, don't you think you're worried? If it turns out to be something terrible, it'll be troublesome."

I rubbed my chin and said: "But... having said that, if you think about it carefully, since the undead cannot be killed, wouldn't my lethal skills lose their effect? ​​If it is an ordinary undead, then I can achieve the goal of making them incapacitated by cutting off their hands and feet, but in fact we are facing the undead with the ability to regenerate. I am not that specialized in control magic."

Most of the magic I master comes from the system of the Papal State, and a lot of my master's private goods are mixed into it. However, these magics can essentially be divided into three categories: killing, escape, and defensive magic. The control category Of the magics, the most effective ones are the series of magics of Black Thorn.

It's just that... the control effect of Black Thorn is extremely average.

Most of the remaining control magic is about the third or fourth level of magic I learned from hunters. It can be said that the slightly more powerful fossil-to-mud and mud-to-stone combinations are effective, but the speed of execution is slow, and if you want to effectively control it, you have to predict it in advance... It's weird, because it takes effect too slowly, so Anyone with a slightly faster reaction speed can dodge it, so in most cases this magic is cast over a wide area. Normally speaking, there is nothing wrong with this release method, but when you have teammates...

Ah, the picture is so beautiful, I can’t even imagine it.

"So, hurry up and go find Nolan Lusi to learn soul magic! She is very good at soul magic." Kellas sighed and said, "Isn't it obvious that she has the largest treasure trove of magic knowledge around her? Well? Hug your thighs quickly!"

In fact, I have hugged him tightly, but now I am learning space magic.

"What now? Do we wait and wait?"

Kellas rolled his eyes at me and said, "Did you make something wrong? You dare to ask for my opinion? You are not better at strategy."

It seems that he has a clear understanding of his own unreliability, which is really admirable.

After thinking about it for a while, I asked.

"You can't find the mastermind now, can you?"

Kellas nodded and said: "Yes, in this case, either its location has exceeded my perception field, or its strength is much higher than mine, so I have no way to develop it. place."

I frowned slightly and said, "In that case...if we move these two guys now, maybe we will alert the enemy. Alas! I hope they are just here to take a look."

"If a fight breaks out, wouldn't it be reasonable to arrest them and torture them or something?" Kellas tilted his head, as if he didn't quite understand what I said at the end.

"To put it simply, it will alert the enemy." I said with some helplessness, "Even if no undead went back to report what they saw, the fact that 'no undead' reported this matter can already explain a lot. By using these two to determine the strength of my undead, we can easily obtain the minimum guard strength."

Kellas thought for a moment, then shook his head and nodded.

"There is indeed nothing wrong with what you said, but as long as you have a little understanding, it is not difficult to know that the legend of General Enol is in the Immortal Fortress, right?"

"It's just that you understand...it's Binelle who is showing up now." I smiled softly, "Inuoer was very careful, so he only showed up once, and this time he showed up with only acquaintances. People know exactly who this is. To ordinary people, this is just a 'strong person'. Ordinary professionals have an extremely vague understanding of strong people. Therefore, the person behind the undead may not want to know about this matter. So easy."

Kellas narrowed his eyes and entered a thinking state.

Then puffs of steam appeared above the head, as if it were overheated.

I quickly stretched out my hand and waved it in front of her eyes and said, "Hey, are you okay? Why do you look bad now?"

"Uh-huh!" Kellas shook it, then shouted, "This kind of matryoshka doll thing is really too troublesome!"

"So why do you have to listen..."

Kellas looked at me with a resentful look and said, "That's because you started talking to yourself. Wouldn't it be too rude to cover your ears?"

When Kellas can still say disrespectful words, isn't the problem already huge?

"All in all, the next step is to wait and see, especially if they really encounter resistance, they still have to help a little bit." I chuckled and said.

Kellas tilted his head and nodded as if he understood.

"You can sit back and wait for them if you're close, or you can follow them to their nest when you're back." I said with a smile.

Only then did Kellas show an expression of realization.

"I see, I told you earlier! It would be easier to understand."

I felt like a clown trying to explain strategy to Kelras.

Kellas happily pulled me to the street, and then hurriedly ran to the alley. She stretched out a finger on the crowded street and pointed at two not so conspicuous people. figure.

That's... an adventurer.

Although we are in a state of war now, there will never be a shortage of adventurers. Most of them have changed their identities as mercenaries, but here in the Immortal Fortress, adventurers still have a certain value, so the two of them are not conspicuous among the crowd.

Especially... at first glance, I even felt that these were two ordinary adventurers. Without Kyle Rath's reminder, I would most likely not have paid attention to them.

They wore the most common leather armor for adventurers, with metal protection on key parts, and there seemed to be some faint magical aura appearing. The two men were about middle-aged, and their faces were covered with wrinkles carved by wind and frost. Judging from the looming badges, it also proved that their experience was as rich as their appearance.

The two of them were of the same stature and not that muscular, but one of them had a short scar on his face, and the other had two moustache.

So let’s call them Scarface and Mustache for now.

I conveniently picked up a set of magic specially designed for stealth, and then wandered around the two of them as if they were aloof.

Like all the other adventurers who were in their leisure period, they were wandering around in the crowded streets, as if they were just here to have fun after the mission.

Ah... But it's a pity that because this place has been used as a temporary base camp by Binelle, all the entertainment places used by high-level adventurers have almost disappeared.

If they hadn't been getting closer and closer to the prison even though they kept going around, I would have suspected that they were really adventurers who didn't know they were undead.

However, their pace did not last long and they had to stop.

Due to the relationship between the undead, the streets around the prison have actually been guarded by the city guards. Even people who work and live nearby must first undergo investigation before they can pass. As for these two guys, as three no-one targets, Obviously there was no way to pass this kind of inspection, so they could only naturally bypass it before the city guards became suspicious of the two of them.

After that... what are they going to do?

It's a pity that no matter what choice we make, it will be beneficial to us.

I couldn't help but sigh: Under the shadow of the princess's side... it's really easy to do things. If you just notice Binelle on the surface and ignore us who are really working, then things will be too simple. .

Turning back to reality, they obviously did not give up exploring the current situation of the prison, so they chose to climb over the wall and break into the yard of a house.

Fortunately, since it was daytime, there was no one here, which made me feel a little relieved.

Just when I was a little curious about what they were going to do, they suddenly disappeared from my sight.

Astonished, I hurriedly opened my senses to know where they were now, but Kellas stopped me and said, "It doesn't matter, they haven't left yet!"

"Is it just invisible?" I asked in surprise.

As a ninth-level magic swordsman, it is not difficult to judge whether there is any magic fluctuation. However, I didn't feel any magic fluctuation at all just now.

"You may be weird...but I do think it's a bit tricky." Kyle Russ shook his head and sighed, "Nolan Russ must have told you about the method of achieving the so-called legendary magician. "

I almost understand it a little bit.

I nodded.

"You should also know some of the ways to form 'gods', right?"

This matter... Although it has not been explained in detail, I can roughly get a glimpse of it from the two gods I know now.

"The difference between the two is just natural and man-made. What they are using now is not the man-made kind of invisibility." Kyle Russ said slowly while looking at the yard, "It is the natural kind. species, so it's actually 'gods' or similar rules that allow them to become invisible, so you can't see them."

"I might understand it better if you just said it's not magic-side invisibility."

"Don't worry about such details!" Kyle Russ shouted slightly angrily, "Who did you learn this ability to complain about anytime and anywhere?"

"Don't worry about details like this."

Kellas rolled her eyes at me, and then said: "In short, even if what we face in the future is not a 'god', it is an existence similar to a god. Although the gods are not particularly scary things, in the final analysis, we still have to Looking at the authority of 'gods', like 'gods' like Aia, the local manifestation of her authority is quite terrifying - the guardian deity of the offshore sea, it is just a piece of cake to set off huge waves and storms, and the second is An existence like Villier, who was formerly the God of the Forest and later became the God of Swords, is actually quite terrifying in his killing power."

I crossed my hands and said, "In short, you want to tell me that a 'god' with as much authority as Noelle has no fighting power, right?"

Kellas shrugged and said, "There are so many 'gods' with strange powers in the world, and there was such a thing as a toilet goddess before."

Which civilization wants to pray to the toilet goddess? And the authority of the toilet goddess is not to deliver toilet paper.

I held my chin slightly with my knuckles and said helplessly: "But isn't it a bit scary to give the dead the power to resurrect the dead..."

Talking about this place, Kyle Russ's expression became a little worse.

She patted her head in distress and said: "So it's troublesome, it's troublesome! Gods with such authority will eventually consider becoming colleagues, so if they are beaten severely, they may be resented to the tune of tens of thousands. Nian—!”

"That's why I hope it's not a god!" Kelras said angrily, "The remaining possibility is that living beings become gods, and I don't know exactly how this process happens. It's better to say Such a thing is just mentioned vaguely in the records of Hades, so let’s just treat it as if it doesn’t exist. In short—”

"If you really want to attack the mastermind, try your best to take action. If it doesn't work, I will do it again."

Then she began to murmur something that could make people feel tragic, such as "I just look at the door" and "My boss values ​​me very much".

"……I will try my best."

While we were talking, the undead had already begun to move. They easily passed through the defense of the city guards and finally arrived at the prison gate.

At this time, there were already many fewer people at the prison gate.

One is that the second batch of confirmed undead are still on their way over according to the list we gave them, and the other is that we need to consider disposing of the corpses of the previous people.

Therefore, apart from the most basic sentries, there are no guards at the prison gate.

And since they are not invisible using magic, the prison's detection barrier is in name only.

But... what surprised me a little was that when they entered, the warden walked into the prison foyer at this time.

this is--
