Fengxi Town, in the small temple of Eternal Light.
"Ah, Arya, are you here?"
An Luo, a younger brother with beautiful silver hair, smiled slightly when he saw his sister walking in from the door.
When Jacks, a burly and handsome man, saw his niece, he immediately took advantage of his size and squeezed to the door easily:
"Aliya, just now, I was praying to the Eternal Light, hoping that you could overcome your psychological barriers as soon as possible and successfully take the first step on the path to a true mage.
"I know you are very concerned about the problems you have encountered recently in arcane magic practice. Don't worry, you are still so young and have a lot of time.
"——When I was an adventurer, I saw a powerful old mage. He could transform his teammates into a Tyrannosaurus that was taller than this room or a Hydra with several heads by raising his hand. He could also create incredible monsters.
An invisible wall that can be destroyed by any attack, an illusion that is more real than reality itself.
"However, he said he couldn't even light a match - well, that's not including holding a match with his hand and striking it on a matchbox - before he truly touched the power of magic on his 30th birthday.
"You are only 14 years old, there is no need to worry about not mastering a certain first-level spell!"
It was obvious that this man, who always smelled of alcohol, didn't know about Arya's great achievements just now.
Looking directly at the muscular man Jax, Alya nodded vigorously, her orange hair swaying:
"Uncle, you are right, I no longer worry about this matter! I am surprised now that I had so much worry and anxiety before. It was completely unnecessary."
Jakes was overjoyed when he heard his niece's words——
Very good!
Arya is finally no longer anxious to master a level 1 spell in a few years!
After learning that his niece was no longer eager for success, the muscular man finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily:
"Yes, just relax, there is no need to rush to become a real mage in a few years.
"If becoming a real mage is so easy, how can most of the guys in the world who can't cast a small magic trick in their entire life get to know people?
"My lovely Arya, you still have too many years to take this step. One day - even if it is a long, long, long, long, long time - you will be able to succeed as Mr. Duncan requires.
If you let people fall asleep under the curse, I will take you two siblings to the Rainbow Castle to find Mr. Duncan, the dwarf, and let him personally guide you.
"As for now, let's stay in this border town for a few years."
Arya raised her head and looked directly at Uncle Jax with joyful eyes, her expression was like a child who had just completed a task and asked for praise - maybe she was.
There was undisguised joy in her tone:
"Because, I have succeeded! Uncle.
"I just successfully used a spell to make Chabron fall asleep!
"Uncle, now you want to call me the first-level mage Arya!"
In the entire small temple, everyone's eyes were turned towards him.
In a magical country like Star Vault, arcane spellcasters such as wizards, warlocks, warlocks, and artificers are relatively common. Even in a remote town like Wind Breeze Town, there is a warlock with storm magic flowing in his body who can use
A one-ring spell creates a ball of lightning. But he is a meticulous police officer, not as young and energetic as Arya.
"Uncle, you are going to take us to meet that dwarf gentleman from the alien world!"
This "Mr. Dwarf from Alien" is obviously Arya's name for Mr. Duncan.
Hearing his niece's words, Jacks was shocked.
Many thoughts flashed through the man's eyes -
First surprised, then delighted.
Then there was incredible emotion, and then it was as gentle as the wind and snow.
It was as if Jax saw his deceased sister, the mother of two deceased children, and saw the ice queen shooting [Ice Ray] from her hand for the first time when she was a child, attacking his brother who only knew how to play with weapons.
show off:
"Jacks, maybe I, your sister, am the one who can wear the Winter Crown on my head."
The remains of Arya's mother in the memory once again overlapped with the smile of the girl in front of her.
Jax forced himself not to think about his sister who had been replaced by the weird one. Just when the man was about to say something, Father Matruh leaned over and asked Arya:
"So, did you wake up Chabron?"
----------------
On the hillside, Chabron was obviously stunned for a moment.
No way!
No problem with the sound?
Could it be that this is not a fake but the real Father Matruh?
Several thoughts flashed through Shabron's mind.
Xia Bron immediately thought of another detection method - use [Detection Magic] to check whether the other party has magic aura of the illusion system. If so, then the other party is most likely a counterfeit.
"But it's easy to alert the enemy." Chabron immediately grasped the shortcomings of this option.
Just as Chabron was thinking as fast as lightning, Father Matroux, who didn't know whether it was true or not, spoke:
"When I was passing by the woods to the north just now, I found clues about the fires of the past few days."
Clues about the fire? Chabron suddenly became serious and paid attention to the next words.
At this moment, perhaps because he was focused on the other party, he felt that he had successfully performed a [Perception] skill test with a perception value of 16——
He keenly discovered that Father Matruh's left hand had been in the pocket of his priest's robe from just now to now, and when he spoke, his left hand in the priest's robe moved slightly.
I see!
It’s actually like this...
What an exquisite technique.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to grasp any key points at this time. But before Chabron traveled through time, he was a gamer with a lot of experience. In front of him, the laws of the world were clearly displayed.
It is true that [Disguise] can only change the visual appearance and cannot affect the sound. However, this does not mean that other spells cannot work!
Chabron suspected that in order to deceive himself, who was familiar enough with Father Matruh, the magician was also performing a trick, [Secondary Phantom·Phantom Sound].
By fine-tuning the hand gestures of casting spells, this simple little trick can be switched between two modes: [Phantom Sound] and [Small Illusion]. The former can simulate various sounds, and many spellcasters will use it to simulate talking, singing, and shouting.
, the sound of walking, marching, and running.
And now, the magician is simulating the voice of Father Matruh!
While the spell simulates speaking, the caster also makes the same mouth movements, giving the viewer the illusion that he himself is speaking.
Coupled with the [Disguise] that changes his appearance, he looks and sounds exactly the same as the real Father Matruh.
The casting material required for this trick is a small amount of wool, which would be too obvious if cast directly in front of Chabron.
In order not to make Chabron suspicious, the magician put his left hand and wool in his pocket. When casting the spell, he used his left hand in his pocket to touch the wool as the spell material, and at the same time made gestures to complete the gesture component of the spell!
Quite a subtle operation!
But I still saw through it. The blond little priest thought, and at the same time he also keenly grasped a huge advantage of his. A player with rich experience is difficult for others to match in this real world——
He can choose the right spells in combat directly through his knowledge of the data. He knows that slashing and piercing weapons are not effective against skeletons, knows that creepers can absorb lightning and scarecrows are afraid of fire, and knows that fire and acid can suppress the game.
The regeneration of trolls, understanding that nightmares and phase spiders can move secretly in the spirit world, knowing that ghosts who have not fulfilled their last wishes will come back to life, and even knowing what healing spells are needed based on the damage values that they and others have suffered before!
"Fire clue? What clue?" Chabron asked the warlock disguised as a priest in front of him, partly for the sake of making a joke, and partly because he really wanted to know.
The magician disguised as Father Matruh did not realize that his scheme had been seen through by Chabron, and shook his head:
"It's hard to explain clearly. You'll understand after you come with me."
Chabron noticed that when he said this, his left hand in his pocket moved again. Combined with the suspicious behavior of the other party trying to take him to another place without mentioning anything, Chabron strengthened his guess.
With that said, the warlock turned around and walked away from the town. Chabron hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed.
"By the way, just like before, I'll give myself a magical buff first." Xia Bron said as he recited a spell and created a magic trick for himself [Divine Guidance].
Before time travel, "I'll give myself a buff" was a basic etiquette used by spellcasters in the game when talking to other players——
Otherwise, the other party may not know whether you want to bless yourself with [Mage Armor] or throw fireballs at him or her.
Chamberlain also emphasized "the same as before" in order to make the warlock disguised as Father Matruh think that this was Chabarron's daily caution, rather than that he was already suspicious of him.
For such an ill-intentioned opponent, even if it was just a move or a word, the little priest had to play games with the opposite spellcaster several times in his mind!
The magician disguised as Father Matruh led Chabron towards the woods to the north of the hill, and the blond boy followed closely.
Of course, the young priest knew that there might be a trap ahead, and of course he would not let the other party's conspiracy succeed.
The reason why he agreed to follow the other party was to wait for an opportunity!
After Chabron followed the other party for about 30 seconds, he followed from behind and gently held the "priest"'s hand. The other party did not pay attention, and seemed to think that this was just the most ordinary action - he did not feel that this kind of natural skin
Any problems with contact.
At this time, in front of Xia Bron's eyes, the illusory data panel had opened.
[Guardian Flash (Professional Specialty): 3 times a day, you can call on the light of the sun when being attacked, causing the attacker to be considered blind during this attack (ignore saving throw). 】
······
The moment he touched "Father Matruh's" hand, Chaberon, who had been wary for a long time, completely confirmed his guess with the sensitive touch brought by his superior perception value - this palm was not like the real hand of Father Matruh.
That way, it's spacious, rough and gives people a sense of security.
"Very good, it's in contact with my skin." Xia Bilun secretly rejoiced in his heart, trying his best not to look like he was smiling.
The sorcerer disguised as Father Matruh was holding Chabron's hand and walking forward. Suddenly, a cold voice of magical chanting came from beside him.
When he reacted, it was already too late. A chill that penetrated the bone marrow came from his hands and spread all over his body in an instant...
A first-level spell, [Injury] (causing minor injuries).
