Chapter 1264 Mission is coming, Mystery Lock Intrusion Technique
Perhaps she heard Xia Duo’s thoughts. That night, Elise suddenly visited and gave Xia Duo a task——
"Reliable information has been received from above that the Cormanthor elves are preparing to plan a large-scale search. For the safety of the headquarters, we must force them to disperse their forces.
"Tomorrow I will send you to the border of Comanso. Your mission is to cause as much damage as possible within them. The bigger the noise, the better. You need to persist for at least ten days. I will contact you after ten days."
When Xia Duo heard the content of this mission, he felt that there was something wrong with it. It was true that he was a senior arcanist, but "McCard" was indeed an ordinary high-level mage.
For him, this mission was no different than sending him to death, and the most important thing was that he was not assigned any teammates. Could this be another test?
Seemingly seeing the suspicion in Sha Duo's heart, Elise gave a very reasonable explanation: "This mission is mainly to delay and distract the opponent's strength. Apart from you, other mission teams will also disperse their actions.
"And this mission does not require results. As long as we can still be contacted after ten days, there will be a guaranteed point. If you are worried, you can also find a corner to hide after leaving the base."
This is 100% a temptation!
Chateau knew that "Mecard" himself hated Cormanthor very much, and also had a high sense of identification and belonging to the Arcane Empire and the Trial of Vengeance.
Dissatisfaction with one's own situation does not deserve this kind of recognition and belonging.
Elise is also very clear about this.
So if Xia Duo doesn't create a big scene in this mission, even if he returns to the base ten days later, he will most likely be treated as a spy!
Thinking of this, Sha Duo immediately knew how to answer, "Don't worry, sir, McCard will do his best to complete this task!"
In fact, this task is beneficial to Xia Duo, because it means that he does not need to guard three teammates and can move freely.
As for big scenes, big scenes for high-level mages are not difficult to handle for senior arcanists.
And more importantly, as long as he doesn't fall into a mystery, he has the confidence to escape even if he encounters a high-level mage.
…
Early the next morning, Sha Duo and five members of another task force under Elise were teleported out of the base one by one by Elise.
Xia Duo was ranked last, maybe because he was suspicious, he always felt that Elise's arrangement had some deep meaning, but now he just kept the same in response to all changes.
…
Coming to the surface, Shado roughly determined the direction and found that he was near the Wolf God Mountain, which corresponds to the south of the Green Bead Forest in the southern border of Netheril on the main plane. (Daxia leads south)
Going east from here is the Forest of Listal, also known as Cormanso.
The mission lasted for ten days, so Shado was not in a hurry. What he was more concerned about now was what Elise mentioned last night, "Cormanso is preparing to conduct a big search."
In fact, the approximate location of the headquarters of the Revenge Trial Division is not highly confidential. Many people, including "McCard", know it. It is even part of the academy's education——
The headquarters is beneath the ruins of the empire!
In "Mecard's" memory, the Cormanthor elves' search for the remnants of the empire has continued for nearly a hundred years, but there has never been a large-scale search for the headquarters.
In other words, it appeared, but the authority of "McCard" is not enough to understand it.
But now, "McCard" has been informed, and perhaps the situation is already very critical.
Xia Duo decided to visit the Severnton ruins first, lest there would be a big battle and the ruins would be completely shattered and nothing could be recovered.
Although he knew that the Arcane Empire had been destroyed for nearly a hundred years, the Revenge Tribunal or other possible resistance organizations must have searched the Severnton ruins, but he was still unwilling to search without actually doing so.
Perhaps the resurrection spell can be found in a certain college's library or in a corner of the Resurrection Department!
Anyway, with the portable space, his search efficiency is definitely higher than others!
…
Do what you say, but before that, Shado still needs to disappear from the "eyes" of Elise or other possible observers.
There was a burst of distortion of light and shadow, and Sha Duo transformed himself into an elf, then used the flying technique to fly towards the east at high speed.
The flight lasted nearly two hours, and finally he stopped in front of a tall, thick, ancient tree with lush branches, which was the boundary marker of the mystery provided by the Revenge Trial Division.
After passing this ancient tree, you enter the Cormanthor Great Mystery Lock system. With the current hostile relationship between the two sides, it is difficult for a mere light and shadow apparition to escape the automatic detection of the Mystery Lock.
——[Mysterious Lock Invasion Technique]!
Xia Duo decisively cast this [Department of Revenge Trial] standard field spell. In the long struggle, both the Imperial Remnant and Cormanthor learned a lot from each other, and they all knew each other's strengths.
The method of restraint.
This [Mystery Lock Invasion Technique] is the safest way to enter the Mystery Lock range that the Revenge Trial Division discovered at great cost.
In contrast, Cormanthor has also found many ways to deal with the repeated resurrections of the empire's remnants. Whether it is blocking the soul summons after death or negative energy erosion before death, it can cause resurrection failure.
This really corresponds to the saying - "War is the best catalyst for technological progress"!
…
After casting [Mystery Lock Invasion Technique], the phantom of the elf on Sha Duo was distorted again and seemed to become more real, but in fact the flaws could still be distinguished with the naked eye.
[Mystery Lock Invasion Technique] has nothing to do with whether it transforms into an elf or not. Even if Xia Duo remains in his original form, it will not affect the use of this spell.
Its real function is to mislead the automatic judgment of Mysuo, changing the human information to an elf, but if you enter the Mysuo range with a human appearance, even if the Mysuo does not respond, the elves who see it will know that an enemy is coming.
However, everything Shado has done so far is to mislead possible observers - Elise, or someone higher up.
What he has done so far is still in line with the normal action pattern of a revenge judge, but when he enters the scope of the mystery, everything is different.
Detection spells from the outside aimed at the interior of the Myth Lock will trigger the Myst Lock alarm, and Cormanthor will definitely be aware of it. Therefore, only then will Chateau be able to isolate himself from the sight of the Revenge Trial Division.
Next, it’s time for him to take action!
I saw him imitating the posture of the elf, jumping up and down in the forest, and in the blink of an eye he was deep in the forest. However, he only entered the Mystery Lock range less than 500 meters before he changed direction and returned to the boundary of the Mystery Lock.
Before leaving the scope of the Mystery Lock, Xia Duo thoughtfully blessed himself with multiple spells to avoid detection and mislead detection. Then he disappeared and flew towards the northwest at high speed.
