The so-called once born, the second time familiar. Although the last time they penetrated into the restricted area designated by the Shenmu Guards, it was only an hour or two ago. But being able to calm down a little in a safe place and review the gains and losses is enough for someone to make more and correct preparations.
At the same time, Lin was also checking the map to see the layout of the area. Generally speaking, the layout of a planned town will have a pattern to follow. Just like a metropolis on Earth, it will be divided into residential areas, commercial areas, industrial areas, etc. I'm afraid that the purpose planning of the houses here is just like the romantic nature of the elves, and there is no trace to follow.
The first round of exploration was not a blanket search, it was just a deep dive along a certain route. Although I have roughly inspected all the tree houses and tree holes that I passed, it is still far from enough to determine the overall layout. So if someone gives up looking at the mostly blank map and wonders, and does not continue on-site exploration, he will not get other results.
Because the places I have been to have been recorded on maps. So this time he started to investigate again. Lin directly used the flash technique to jump to the nearest hiding place in front of the tree hole passage where he met the two elf masters.
Looking at the passage that almost scared me, but ended with a near miss, I now have two options. One is to choose the direction Ronan Pietersson came from at that time, which is now behind him. The other option, which was the direction they were going, was to go through the tree hole again.
Because we are within the scope of the World Tree, the energy changes here are chaotic and disorderly, and it is difficult to determine the direction of progress using the perception method where a large amount of power is gathered somewhere.
However, although I had only walked halfway through the tree hole in front of me, I could roughly guess that the other end was not like the passage or rope bridge I encountered before, but that it connected places in the same area that had no direct road connection. This passage is more like leading to the inside of the World Tree.
Thinking of this, Lin remembered that this passage was different from other passages he had walked through. Other passages are shorter in distance and are illuminated by natural light. That is to say, there are no common lighting methods in the interior. They rely entirely on the sunlight that can shine in from the front and rear of the passage.
But the one in front of me seemed to have internal lighting, and although there was bright light at the end of the passage I originally saw, when I thought about it carefully, it didn't look like sunlight.
At this time, someone thought of another possibility. It was originally thought that Lahti's sacred tree guards only lived in tree holes on the surface, or in tree houses on the branches. If they also build a bunker inside the tree, is there any place more suitable for hiding some important facilities or secrets that they don't want to reveal to others?
It seems that it is impossible not to break in.
He also used the flash technique instead of walking. After making sure that no one was around, Lin just moved himself to the entrance of the passage. After the probe checked that there was no one inside, he was about to move inside. Suddenly a window jumped out of his field of vision, which scared someone so much that his heart almost jumped out of his mouth. After seeing clearly that this was a message from the lich, someone almost cursed on the spot.
Take two deep breaths and read the message from Fen carefully. Vasily Petrovich, another extraordinary person in the Shenmu Guards, is a strong man who takes the assassin route. A rare outlier in the elven kingdom, because he is a believer in the God of Deception.
Generally speaking, it is quite rare for a god believer to become a member of the Shenmu Guards. Because the World Tree itself can also be regarded as a kind of belief. That is to say, this one is a rare dual believer, or like the god of deceit he believes in, one of his beliefs is false to him.
Regardless of which one's beliefs are true and which are false, this person has outstanding military exploits within the Elf Kingdom. However, in such a tense moment, without good shelter in front and behind, someone did not have the time to read Fen's long explanation and understand how many great things this elf had done. Anyway, knowing that this is a real master is enough at times like this.
Use the flash technique to reach the visible end of the channel in one breath, and condense a small water mirror on your fingertips. Of course, I am not going to the forum at this time, but I want to use the characteristics of the mirror to see what is happening behind the corner of the passage. Compared with having to expose half of your head to poke your eyes around the corner, the mirror is much smaller.
The scene in the mirror was empty. It seemed that there was no one in the passage behind the corner. However, Lin did not turn around rashly, but carefully stuck out half of his head again to confirm with his own eyes. After all, there are blind spots in the mirror, and someone would rather make progress slowly than be sure. This is not a time-limited game, especially since there is no save and restart function. Lin doesn't want to mess things up.
Someone just moved forward cautiously, step by step. But after passing this corner, after walking a few steps, Lin seemed to hit a wall out of thin air and stopped.
Reaching out and groping, there seemed to be a repulsive force in the void, pushing away those who wanted to move forward. Looking around the passage, I saw unknown magic circles drawn on the walls, ceiling and floor. Is this a force field type barrier? I have been in the magic side of the world for so long, and this is the first time I have seen something that appears in both science fiction and magic themes.
Before he could even say a few words of praise, there was a sound of footsteps deep in the passage opposite the force field. Lin flashed out, returned to the corner to hide his figure, and also used the water mirror technique to peek at the situation.
Walking across the aisle was a female member of the Shenmu Guards. Although most of her face was covered, her graceful figure could easily arouse other people's imagination. However, Lin's attention was still focused on a talisman in the hand of the female elf. print. I saw her holding the talisman in front of her chest, without chanting a spell or any delay, and passed through the force field barrier very smoothly. And the surrounding environment looks completely unchanged.
Just when the female elf was about to turn the corner, Lin Yi flashed and appeared a distance behind her. It avoids the embarrassment of face-to-face, or the deeds are exposed.
Before returning to the barrier of the force field, Lin recalled what he had just seen. The elf sigil is more like a pass than a key, and this force field barrier will exclude anyone who does not bring the pass. In addition, maybe that talisman will have other uses. Going to steal a piece? Or……
With a change of thought and a flash of thought, someone appeared smoothly behind the force field barrier. Looking back, Lin reached out and groped again, and sure enough, the force field still existed, and there was no directionality in or out. It seems that the flash technique is unreasonable and can treat most access control as nothing.
Even though he passed the first force field barrier, Lin did not act immediately. The doubt in his heart made him directly use five or six types of reconnaissance vision. As expected, he saw several magic traps in the vision of observing magic power. In particular, there is a magic trap that stretches across the entire passage and is much wider than a normal person's pace; it is impossible not to pass by it as long as you are walking.
From this trap, Lin confirmed that in addition to passing through the force field barrier, the talisman could also walk on the passage without triggering the trap. Although it is unlikely to touch a talisman temporarily, they should be able to avoid most traps by relying on power vision, as long as they do not suddenly change the way the traps are set up, such as replacing the magic trap with the most common trap. .
And in the power vision, the existence of the force field barrier is quite clear.
Speaking of which, being able to use power vision is quite a fluke. In the area outside the tree, various energy tides are raging. If you turn on the power vision, various colorful blocks will cover most of your sight, making it impossible to see anything clearly. But inside the tree, the environment is relatively simple, and there is no such trouble. This is why someone can see magic traps and force fields.
After confirming the way to go, Lin naturally avoided the unnatural color blocks on the ground and took the path he was sure was safe.
Originally, I would have been worried that man-made passages like this would not be as good as being outside in bushes, treehouses, and other places where I could hide. The passages inside the World Tree are also intricate, and there are stairs connecting each floor. It is not a straight avenue that can be seen at a glance. Although this adds some difficulty to detection, it is very beneficial to hiding.
When you see someone coming, duck around the corner and wait for the elf to walk by. If you really encounter the problem of being attacked by two parties, you can also choose to jump into the high-dimensional world for temporary escape. As long as someone doesn't rush into a blind spot recklessly, the chance of being discovered by the elves is infinitely close to none.
The place being explored now is indeed an area inside the World Tree. Because door locks, barriers, etc., don't seem to exist to someone, so as long as he is sure that there is no one else in the room, Lin will go in to see what's going on. After reading it, I was able to understand that compared to other people's wealthy families, the little things I brought with me were really not enough.
A full set of magic armor, various weapons and equipment, and different from the long bows favored by most elves, the magic short bows used by the Shenmu Guards filled the entire shelf, and the bow strings made of Warcraft sinews filled the entire box. .
In general, the range and power of long bows are better than short bows. But using the world tree as the material and the elves' bow-making skills, no one dares to underestimate these short bows that are only as long as an arm.
There are also rows of wooden armor. You must know that the hardness of the wood of the world tree is widely recognized by fans. In addition, it is strong enough to resist the energy tide between dimensions, and it is easy to resist energy-based attacks. This means that if you want to deal with the elf wearing this wooden armor, you have very few means, at least the energy-type magic gun will not be of use.
In addition to the armory room, there is also a room that is not sure whether it is a materials warehouse or a treasure room. There are all kinds of treasures inside. Just the parts that someone recognizes will make him salivate. Holding up the rough gemstone that was almost bigger than his own head, Lin seriously thought about whether to change his profession. Being a thief seemed to be a more profitable way than being a magician who invented a bunch of things.
