"One, two, three... thirteen," Fang Plover adjusted the brass outer ring on his goggles and counted carefully in the wind and snow - as if he were counting ducks, not potential opponents.

"...excluding the alchemist, there are twelve more."

A thousand meters away, the clockwork goblin was hovering steadily in the cold wind. Snowflakes fell on the visual communication crystal and melted piece by piece. Fang Yu counted his opponents one by one before ordering him to get closer to him.

Some, but at this time, in his field of vision, a man dressed as a wizard was looking up in this direction.

It was like a flash of lightning flashed across Fang Plover's mind. He stopped suddenly and the clockwork fairy stopped abruptly in mid-air.

"What's wrong?" Sophie saw the change in his expression.

"interesting."

Fang Yu couldn't help but smile - Constructed Detection Spell, in the 22nd century, there are still people using this ancient spell. Although its advantages in global detection are obvious, its shortcomings are also hard to ignore.

The distance is too close.

It is still somewhat effective against combat craftsmen below level 20, but it is difficult to be effective against opponents with higher calculation power - after the 'War of Innovation', the real high-end magicians have begun to use the 'Omniscient Eye' to deal with combat.

Artisans are everywhere with remote reconnaissance capabilities.

Although the method of finding opponents through vision is primitive, it is sometimes extremely effective. It just requires the magician to have very good spell control capabilities. Otherwise, once he is caught in a multi-line operation competition with the battle craftsmen, it is basically like waiting for death.

After watching too many battles between masters, he didn't expect to encounter a truly retro style here.

"How are you going to respond?" Sophie asked from the side. She naturally had her own ideas in mind. After all, she was also the leader of the Silver Vislan Elite Youth Training Team, so her on-the-spot reaction would only be calmer and faster than Fang Plover's.

But after all, she is not in her own team when she comes here, and her current long-range investigation capabilities are all dependent on Fang Plover, and the information she has is far less than the other party - she will not draw conclusions easily before she has enough information.

.

She glanced curiously at Sylvester, who was standing aside. This beautiful ship officer looked confident without saying a word, which made her wonder, could this guy in front of her really be so trustworthy?

Fang Plover did not answer immediately. He only glanced back. There was only a patch of wind and snow, but there seemed to be something behind the wind and snow that caught his eye. He looked for a while before looking back.

Detect construct spells.

This is a very targeted spell, almost specially designed to deal with combat craftsmen. Although it is a little outdated, it does not change its essence. He only glanced at the alchemist through the clockwork goblin's vision——

The other party's intentions and targeting are actually quite obvious.

But he still didn't give the order directly. He only asked: "Is Mr. Huiyan still staying in the valley?"

Everyone else nodded.

…

"What's wrong?" At the same time, Dark Fairy Tale was also asking the magician in the team - although the other party seemed a bit annoying to him.

Yinshi only glanced at the snowy wind, shook his head and replied: "Nothing."

The detection spell has a momentary response above the extreme distance, but beyond three hundred meters this spell is not as reliable as people think. Due to the disturbance of magic power, false alarms are common——

He didn't know that his actions had revealed his magic, but he didn't continuously capture the signal during the induction, so he subconsciously thought that this was also a false alarm.

Of course, out of caution, he cast the 'Beyond Vision' spell in that direction - but after all, this spell was no better than the 'Omniscient Eye' of a high-level magician. The visual information returned was both short-lived and unstable, and only

Then for a moment.

Just in time, he missed a golden light that was carefully hiding on the edge of the wind and snow.

Silver Stone calmed down, carefully put away the spell, and then looked back to check his remaining mana. This is undoubtedly a good habit that an excellent magician must develop.

In Aitalia, learning to calculate mana is the first step to enter the field of professional magicians.

However, most of the spells here have no fixed consumption and are affected by the casting time, environment, ether distribution and resistance attributes. Even the aboriginal magicians who have been immersed in it for many years may not be able to accurately grasp it, let alone them?

Therefore, for ‘newcomers’, learning to pay more attention to their magic furnace is the first priority.

Caution is the first step to becoming a magician.

"Are you a little nervous?"

The dark fairy looked at him with a half-smile.

Yinshi knew that the other party was laughing at him, but he only shook his head, "It's just that the magic power was too obvious, and it was a little distracting."

"Do you think that someone can escape the surveillance of detection spells at our level?" The young ranger took off the longbow from his back and smiled: "Don't be suspicious and be careful to scare yourself, Silverstone."

"Be careful and you never go too far."

"Is this another proverb of your magicians?"

Yinshi clenched his fist and looked at this guy.

But privately, he himself felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. Indeed, he had learned a lot - being cautious does not mean being hesitant. He had already launched 'Beyond the Horizon' in that direction once. As a magician, he should learn to believe

own magic.

Could it be that there is a possible flexible structure that avoids the scope of my own vision spell?

This thought flashed through Yinshi's mind, but he immediately felt that he was a little unreasonable. How could this be possible? Unless the other party knew where he would cast the spell, and knew his detection habits and the general range of the spell.

Both the front and back can be predicted, but how can outsiders know about my own investigative habits?

Only then did he feel relieved. He looked up and found that the others in front of him had already walked away with the young ranger. He couldn't help but secretly cursed these sycophants, and then he stepped up to catch up.

But before he got close, he heard someone yelling in the wind and snow: "Who is where!?"

That was the voice of the soldiers in the team.

Yinshi's heart tightened, and he stepped up his steps through the wind and snow, and happened to see the other party standing there, looking nervously in one direction. "What's going on?" he asked loudly.

The young ranger who returned from the front was also asking the same question: "What's wrong?"

"There are people in that place."

The soldier pointed into the wind and snow and said.

He had clearly seen a black-haired girl standing there just now, with a pair of golden pupils that stood out among the snowflakes in the sky, staring coldly in their direction. But with just a blink of an eye, the other person had disappeared without a trace.

No trace.

"people?"

Dark Fairy Tale looked in that direction, but there was only a vast expanse of white snowflakes there. "There is no one there. Did you see it wrong?"

Within the range of vision and hearing, he was actually the person with the highest detection skills among the team, but the system behind Feng Xue did not outline a trace of red light, so of course he could tell that there was no one hiding there.

"Really," the soldier said loudly, "she is a very good-looking woman. She looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. She is wearing a long black skirt."

"A long black skirt?" Dark Fairy Tale said angrily: "Are you crazy about women? The only result of wearing a skirt in this weather is to freeze into a popsicle."

"But it's true..." The other party was a little aggrieved.

Dark Fairy Tale then gave Yinshi a look.

Although the two were not on good terms, they were in the same team after all. Yin Shi understood this in his heart. He checked his mana reserves and then threw a 'Beyond Horizon' behind Feng Xue in that direction.

But the information returned was unremarkable, nothing.

He turned around and shook his head at the ranger.

"Okay," Dark Fairy Tale patted the warrior on the shoulder: "You may have seen it, but it may be just an illusion, but we can't stop waiting for the lover of your dreams - you can be more vigilant, if you continue

How about telling us what Gao saw?"

The soldier had no choice but to nod.

Dark Fairy Tale then turned around and said to the alchemist on the side: "Is the Belbogo Valley ahead?"

The alchemist nodded quickly: "Yes, the dark boss."

"Take us there."

…

Fang Plover is taking back the clockwork fairy.

If he knew what Silver Stone was thinking at this moment, he might be kind enough to tell the other party that the reconnaissance habits are indeed unpredictable, but there is a certain method on how to achieve the maximum field of view effect of this type of long-range vision spell.

If you are detecting sky targets, the best way is undoubtedly to expand your vision from bottom to top. This is one of the classic tutorials of magicians. Its inventor is unknown, and it is likely that it is thousands of aboriginal magicians.

one of them.

It is also one of the remote vision abilities, but the operation method of Clockwork Fairy is also similar.

People's subconscious choices are often biased toward the method with the greatest benefits, so habits are not that reliable unless someone specifically wants to do the opposite.

In a battle of wits and courage between masters, it is not impossible to use reverse thinking, but the premise is that you realize that the enemy is near you - otherwise, wouldn't you be limiting your own investigation scope?

Of course, weird things do not exist. For example, Box often likes to perform some completely meaningless technical moves unexpectedly, but Fang Plover believes that such weird things are in the minority after all.

And there is already one in his team. If he encounters another one, he can only admit that he is unlucky.

Fortunately, it turned out that his prediction was completely accurate. When the clockwork goblin passed under the edge of the opponent's field of vision, the magician obviously didn't notice it.

He held the copper ball that flew back with a click, and then said to the others:

"hold on."

"hold on?"

Sophie was obviously stunned.
