Starting from Zero

"You are here just right. Come, let me introduce you." Chief Elf Race greeted the elf to walk among us, and then introduced to me: "This is me and you As for the guide Elvis, he had served as the guard of the royal court secret vault for a period of time. Although the defense force of the royal court has been changing, with Elvis, at least you can avoid most of the defense forces."

After introducing the elf named Elvis, Elf Race leader introduced to the elf again: "This is President Purple Moon, our good friend. This time we want to make You take him to try and see if you can get past the royal guard to get a special seed."

This Ives must have been explained in this regard before, so for patriarch let him steal the royal court I was not surprised at all, but directly looked towards me and said: "Hello Purple Moon patriarch, if you need me to be a guide, I think we'd better get acquainted with each other’s abilities."

This Ives is obviously a more impatient elf, to be honest, this kind of character is rare among the elf. Like most long-lived creatures, elves are mostly chronic ones. Of course, there are some alternatives, such as the one in front of you. "Hello. I don't know how you want to understand the strength of both of us?"

"Go to a fight?" This guy is really impatient, and he is still a straight.

The leader of Elf Race was probably worried that I would care about this, so when I heard what Elf Race said, I immediately scolded him, but I immediately stopped the leader of Elf Race, and then said to Ives: "I don’t think it’s necessary to compete. If we compete in strength like this, you should not be able to understand the level of my strength. Let me just say it briefly. My main combat ability is to have a large number of summon creatures, but this time it’s an infiltration mission, so people More is not appropriate. But don’t worry, my personal battle strength is also very strong. I can do both melee combat and magic, but melee combat is relatively strong, and magic is relatively uncommon. Considering that this is an infiltration battle and cannot kill people, so it’s mainly It is mainly stealth action. In this respect, I have absolute stealth ability when I am still. There will be weak spots when stealth is in motion, but it is generally not easy to find. If it is in the shadows, my stealth ability will be strengthened , If I stay still in the dark or in the shadows, even reconnaissance skills can’t find me. In addition, I have an ability called shadow teleportation. For me, shadows are equivalent to Transmission Gate, as long as I move from one place When the shadow walks in, you can choose another shadow to come out. Of course, there is a distance limit between the two shadows, and you must ensure that the two shadows can see each other, otherwise it cannot be transmitted. But I also have no need to use the shadow. This kind of teleportation can ignore the environment and can teleport through walls. However, it has magical power fluctuations when activated, which is easy to be found. Moreover, this skill has a cooling time and cannot be used continuously."

After hearing nodded and said: "If this is the case, our mission should be much simpler. Your ability seems to be very suitable for infiltration operations." There are some Hypnosis Techniques, I think they should be used."

"Hypnosis Technique? What kind of Hypnosis Technique? How effective is it?"

"I have several Each familiar has similar abilities, so the effects are not exactly the same."

Ives asked: "Can you control the target instantly?"

I nodded: "Yes, as long as you look at each other, you can control the target instantly, but the specific command needs to be dictated after approaching. However, another familiar can directly control the target silently, but this familiar cannot control the target instantly."

"Then can your two familiars use the Hypnosis Technique together?"

I thought about it for a while and said: "It should be possible."

Listen to Ives Immediately after finishing, he said to Elf Race chief excitedly: "Pat riarch Why did you hire such a helper? His ability is simply an intrusion expert! "

Elf Race leader said with a smile: "I didn't find President Purple Moon, he actually found us first. To perform the mission this time, you need to pay more attention not to let President Purple Moon get injured. It doesn’t matter if the mission fails, it’s nothing more than a shame. There is no big actual loss. If you and Purple Moon have an accident, that’s a real loss. So you must pay attention and give up before you find the situation. Don’t try hard. , Hurting people is not cost-effective. "

Elf Race’s long warning is actually quite correct. Although this is just a game-based ability test of the Spirit King’s subordinate Elf Race tribe, this test is actually not safe at all. .

Although the king court knows that there will be elven tribes coming to steal the seeds, the tribal leader can’t tell the king court in advance when he wants to steal the king court, so that the guards over there don’t. Dead hand. This is obviously impossible. And because the guard of the royal court itself needs to protect the secret warehouse, the guard will not keep his hand at all without knowing who the person is. In other words, they come to steal things. Elf Race personnel will definitely keep their hands on the guards and will not really kill people, but the guards will not keep their hands on those who steal things, unless you take the initiative to stand up and admit that you are here to participate in this theft game, otherwise the guards will not at all. show mercy. But if you tell the guard your identity, then no matter if the guard catches you now, at least they will know that someone is invading, and in this case, you simply can’t start. So, you want The only way to succeed in theft is to act covertly and prevent the guards from knowing that someone has invaded so that they can get things. In this case, the intruder needs to take the risk of being killed at any time to perform the task. Of course, if you have already taken it When it reaches the seed, it will be relatively safer during the retreat, because after the guard finds that the warehouse is stolen, by looking at the stolen items, he will know that he is doing the game task, and the subsequent pursuit will not be dead.< /p>

Anyway, before entering the warehouse to get the seeds, we all need to take risks. Of course, in my opinion, the main possibility is that Ivis takes risks. With my defensive power, even if the elves are really It’s estimated that it’s hard to kill me because of the killer. At most, it just made me suffer.

After Mr. Elf Race warned us, I communicated with Elvis a little about the invasion. , And then we decided to put the invasion operation at midnight. Now the local time is afternoon, and the Spirit King of South America is quite far away from here. When the time comes, it will be almost at night. When the time comes, we can sneak in with the help of night King Court. Although the night vision of the elves is also very good, but in general elves are not nocturnal creatures after all, so although they have good vision at night, the guards will inevitably get sleepy, and the night itself can also play a role in camouflage. This will be a great help for our invasion.

After deciding to act, I let Ives lead the way, and then moved towards the Wang Court. I contacted me on the way. At the meeting, I briefly explained to them the content of my Elf Race negotiation. As for the rest, I plan to let Kristina be in charge of the contact. Anyway, she also participated in Elf before. Race's mission, so she and patriarch also knew each other, and communication shouldn't be a problem. Of course, Kristina is only acting as a liaison person, and Jinshan Yinhai and Rose still need to decide on specific matters.

Although the Wang Court is far away from this elven city, we don’t need to walk over. First teleport to the Transmission Formation of an elven tribe near the king's court, and then leave the tribe and go deep into the jungle. After walking through the woods for a while, we finally saw the periphery of the Wang Court, but it was already past eight o'clock in the night local time.

In fact, from the previous elven city to the village here, it didn’t take ten minutes in total to include the time we took to go to Transmission Formation, and these few hours were completely delayed. In the jungle outside the village. The reason why this section of the road took us so long is entirely because there are too many elves here.

If we are going to the Spirit King to hang out, then we can walk through this section of the road in only 20 minutes, but because we are stealing things, and I am not an elf, so If you walk over so swaggeringly, the goal is too obvious. This is not good for our theft, so we need to enter the capital without being discovered. However, because the Spirit King is located in the jungle, the view outside the city wall is very narrow. If it is a normal city, just set up a few watchtowers on the city wall to meet the needs of city defense. But because the spirit kings are all in the jungle, you can't see anything except a densely packed canopy of the watchtower, so in desperation, Elf Race can only use artificial watch to give warning. This so-called artificial observation is to set up a large number of reconnaissance posts in the surrounding jungle. Once a situation is discovered, these reconnaissance posts can use a variety of methods to report the alarm to the capital, which functions as a watchtower in ordinary cities.

However, this feature can make us miserable. Just to avoid these detection posts, we didn't know how many detours we took along the way. As a result, it took several hours for us to complete the journey within 20 minutes!

"There are so many guards outside the Spirit King!" I said to Ives who led the way after bypassing the cordon.

Ives is also a sweat now. Although he was an elf and knew very well about the detection methods of elf, but the sentry in the woods was a bit outrageous. Such an exaggerated and dense sentry, even if he knew all the investigative methods used by the elves, still messed him up. There were several times during this period, if it weren't for the surprisingly good effect of my shadow masking ability, he was almost spotted by the sentry. Although we can also stun the sentry and hypnotize it so that our whereabouts will not be exposed, it is a safety hazard after all? Therefore, we can try our best not to be discovered now.

Although I have discussed the defense situation of the Spirit King with Ives before coming to the Spirit King Capital, when I actually saw this capital, I still found that the previous plan seemed to be Some are too simple. Originally, I planned to arrive in the royal capital in the middle of the night, then use the night to invade, and then evacuate with the seeds before dawn. But now after seeing this royal capital, I suddenly discovered that according to the defense settings of the royal capital, we can touch the secret library before dawn even if we move fast. In other words, if we continue to invade like this, then we are likely to be trapped in the royal capital after dawn tomorrow.

"Why didn't you tell me that Spirit Kings are all small islands?" Looking at the Spirit Kings across the cliff, I asked Elvis with some complaints.

In fact, before actually seeing the Spirit King, the Spirit King in my impression was a human city built in the forest. The reason why I have this judgment is because I have heard that Spirit Kings have city walls before, and the reason for this is because the former Elf Race leader of the wizard city told me that Spirit Kings are all equipped with city walls. It was built in the jungle. It is precisely because of the above two pieces of information that I think Spirit King is something like a human city built in a forest. However, in fact, the Spirit King is not only an authentic city of elves, but also a city of elves with city walls.

Normally, the cities of the elves do not have a city wall, and even the borders of some elven cities are simply not obvious. Anyway, the elven city itself is made up of trees, and the forest is also made up of trees, so many elven cities and forests are directly connected together, even the elves in the city themselves can’t figure out where the city boundary is.

However, this Spirit King not only has a city wall that separates the city from the surrounding forests, but what's more terrible is that there is a tiankeng outside of the Spirit King.

The area where the Spirit King is located is actually much higher than most areas in the Amazon jungle. From the elven village that we teleported to to where we are now, the road is actually uphill. It’s just because the slope is very gentle, so I didn’t care much. Until now I saw the cliff in front of me. Only then did I know that the terrain had been rising.

The entire area surrounding the Spirit King is actually a flat mountain, and the Spirit King is actually located on the peak. However, I don’t know whether it was artificially modified or formed naturally. The mountain peaks where Spirit Kings are located are not directly connected to the outer slopes, but first dive down to the height of the foot of the mountain at a nearly vertical angle. Then there is a ring of valleys surrounding the peaks, and then it is raised at a vertical angle to form a cliff directly connected to the top of the outer slope. This is the terrain of the entire Spirit King Capital, and its effect is equivalent to that the Spirit King Capital dug a circle of moats around, and the only difference from the moat is that the valley of the Spirit King Capital is one more than a hundred meters deep. And the distance between the edge of the mountain where the capital is located is more than 100 meters from the top of the slope on our side, and what is even more annoying is that the mountain where the capital is located is more than ten meters away from our side. That is to say, the height of the foundation where the royal capital is located is already more than ten meters higher than the ground on our side. If you count this span of more than a hundred meters, even the Titan giants don't even want to jump over. Unless you can fly, there are only two ways to enter the Spirit King, one is the Transmission Formation, and the other is obediently and honestly by the cable bridge connected to the capital.

Although there are more than a dozen cable bridges composed of plant and rattan on the edge of the cliff on the valley side of the Spirit King, and there are more than a dozen large and medium-sized Transmission Formation inside the Spirit King, but We can't use any of these channels.

Don't talk about Transmission Formation. That thing is basically the same as flying by plane. The real-name system is the basic requirement. It is almost impossible to get confused from that kind of place. Although the remaining cable bridge is better than Transmission Formation, it is also a problem. The cable bridge is so long and the surroundings are unobstructed. Walking on it trying not to be found is simply an impossible task. And because the cable bridges are very narrow and they are flexible connections, even if I hide from the bridge, the vibration of the bridge will still expose my position. Therefore, this cable bridge is simply an isolation barrier, and it is basically impossible to sneak past these cable bridges without being noticed. Moreover, even if there is a force attacking here, it will definitely cause heavy casualties if you want to rush past. After all, there is no shelter on a cable bridge more than a hundred meters, and there is no place for you to dodge and charge hard on the narrow cable bridge. If the opponent puts a few crossbows on the opposite side, the bridge can be completely sealed off.

This one man holds the pass, blocking ten-thousand terrain is simply a natural fortress. Before I thought it would be a simple matter to penetrate into the Spirit King. I encountered such a big trouble when I entered the city.

"Avis, are there only these few cable bridges that can pass through here? Is there no other entrance?"

Avis said with some embarrassment: "This The royal city was originally not like this. The gorge in front of us was originally a gentle slope. The gorge you see now surrounding the royal capital was forcibly suppressed by the six magic gods of the clan, Elder, who worked together to cast a large-scale magic. .Isn’t it to prevent outsiders from penetrating into the royal capital? If the original designer left other entrances in such a royal capital, why did he make such a circle of canyons? Do you have to make such a round of canyons?"

I was completely desperate when I heard Ives's words. What Ives said is already very clear. This canyon is designed to guard against thieves, so this kind of place is basically impossible to have other passages. However, how do we get in without other channels? Did you dig in by yourself? But before, I had already thrown the pioneer and rose vine, the two monster familiars who are good at digging holes, on the construction site of the new city to clear the underground river. Where will I go to find the magic familiar that can dig holes? Can't you run back again?

"Ivis. After all of you Spirit King set up this kind of seed theft game, has anyone succeeded?"

Ivis immediately said after hearing my question : "Someone has sneaked into the royal capital, and they have all touched the secret vault. But so far no one has actually got the seeds."

"Do you know how those people got in?"

"No." Ives shook his head and said: "They are all elves, and they can walk in with a swaying rope bridge. For them, it is only after they enter the restricted area inside the capital that they really start to sneak into the task. You are not a member of our Elf Race. Once you enter the capital for a legitimate reason, you will definitely be monitored. When the time comes, you will not be able to perform the theft mission at all."

"I'm dizzy, I knew I should first Prepare a bottle of shape-shifting potion and come again!" At this point, I sighed helplessly: "Damn it, my Illusion Technique department is not by my side, otherwise it would be easier to just pretend to be an elf and mix in. This damn valley. How are we going to get there?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
