Chapter 44 The meeting of two investigators
Wang originally wanted to go to the Wanderers' Guild, but as soon as he took a step, the sound of footsteps leaked the information, so he could only run through stealth.
The flying knives that followed his footsteps almost hit him. If he hadn't stumbled accidentally, his upper body might have been covered with flying knives.
This kind of nervous feeling that my heart is about to jump out of my throat is something I have never experienced before.
As a mage of the prophecy system, Wang is calm and steady most of the time, and is not alarmed by changes. This passing death broke this composure.
"That's why the teacher repeatedly emphasized that you must experience the danger yourself. It is indeed different from playing a match in the Mage Tower." He thought this way.
Entering the sewer, Wang found that the goblins and kobolds had almost finished running away, and the entire sewer was empty.
He originally wanted to take out the artifact scepter and see if he could call a goblin or something to act as a bodyguard to lead the way, but as soon as he took out the scepter from the dimensional bag, the light from the head of the scepter illuminated the entire sewer like daylight.
The advanced invisibility skill on the king's body has not disappeared yet. When he takes out the scepter, the whole situation will become very strange: the light from the completely invisible light source illuminates the entire tunnel.
Why are you running away? Just follow the light and chase.
After putting away the scepter, Wang fumbled around in the dimensional bag and found that he did not prepare a dark vision scroll.
"It's over. A hundred secrets and a few sparse."
Just as he muttered this, a wanderer sneaked out from behind. The king noticed him. This group of wanderers didn't chase him out quickly just now. It turned out that they were afraid of being deceived and sneaked over little by little.
It is estimated that this rogue was still checking traps along the way to prevent escapees from leaving magic sigils or the like.
After Wang entered the sewer, he had been trying to solve the lighting problem, so he couldn't walk very fast. Now he was only about thirty steps away from the wanderer.
——It’s not like I can’t escape…
As soon as he thought this, the wanderer squatted down and began to examine the footprints on the ground.
"Adult male, about 1.8 meters tall, not heavy, most likely a spell caster." The wanderer reported, "He didn't go far."
The king's scalp was numb. Is it true that he can only die today and return to the mage tower? But he just picked up the first artifact! He hasn't used it yet!
and--
Elizabeth's face flashed in the mage's mind, then Flint, Mishashala and Gotrick.
His chest felt tight again. Although they had only known each other for three days, the things they experienced in these three days had already made everyone become friends.
I don't want the adventure to end like this.
This is not a matter of death or death. Death is not terrible. What is terrible is the separation from new friends - and it may be an eternal separation.
Wang hated that his efforts were in vain. This was a friend he made with great difficulty.
He touched the package of spellcasting materials.
He only knew that the artifact he had just obtained would make him temporarily proficient in the languages of goblins and kobolds. He had not yet carefully identified its other functions. He had no idea what it could do - oh yes, it could emit light. You knew this without having to identify it.
Wang silently touched the bag of spell-casting materials.
If you're just a wanderer, it's easy to solve.
Just as he thought this, four wanderers appeared in sight.
One of the wanderers sniffed and said, "I smell the mage's scent. He is nearby, not far away."
Wang frowned. Everything seemed to be going against his plan today. Because of their specialized abilities, mages from the prophecy school always tended to make complete plans before taking action. Today, the plan has been unable to keep up with the changes.
But there is not completely no way to break the situation. After all, the difference between advanced invisibility and invisibility is that in the state of advanced invisibility, casting spells will not break the invisibility.
Although these wanderers can sense the king's location through other means, conversely, they can also mislead them by making sounds.
A plan gradually took shape in Wang's head——
At this moment, a halfling suddenly jumped out of nowhere.
"Let me ask a question, Mr. Mage, who is lurking here using invisibility, are you the criminal responsible for the disappearance of cats and dogs?"
Wang looked at the halfling suspiciously. He almost immediately confirmed that the halfling did not actually know his location. He just heard the sound and combined it with the words of the wanderers to make such a judgment.
As for why halflings suddenly appeared, this is actually not surprising. Halflings are generally outstanding stalkers and thieves.
The only thing that Wang couldn't figure out was the ears on the top of the halfling's head - they looked a bit like Misha Sarah's ears, but this guy had no fur on his body and his skin was as smooth as a human's. And Misha Sarah's ears had lines, which
The ears are pure white.
In addition to the ears, the halfling also has long furry hair, which looks like he is wearing a pure white fur turban.
The rogue cursed: "Where the hell did the werewolf come from?"
"Catch him and send him to the arena. Werewolves are rare things! Especially female werewolves!"
Wang was shocked when he heard this and once again carefully confirmed this person's secondary sexual characteristics.
The werewolf frowned: "How rude! I am the special envoy of Green Field, and I am investigating the disappearance of cats and dogs! I came here after smelling the smell!"
The king remembered that Misha Sarah had said that the association of druids in this city seemed to be called Green Field.
If there is only one force in this city that will not join forces with Erwin, it is the green field of the druids. The druids hate all unnatural things, and the things Erwin does are a sign of their worship of nature.
From Rui's point of view, it was all an act of blasphemy.
Mishashala also said that the druids have also discovered the disappearance of cats and dogs and are starting to investigate. However, they rely on wild cats and dogs to search for information. The disappearance of cats and dogs directly cuts off their intelligence capabilities.
Unexpectedly, I met a druid here who was investigating this matter!
And she was obviously going to start a fight with the people from the Rogue Guild—and Tang’s men!
He's still a werewolf!
Werewolves are a rarer race than cat people, dwarves and rat people!
Now I had to help.
The king made up his mind and started taking action. Although Druid was not one of his own at the moment, he already had an idea!
He took out the rotten eggs from the bag of spell-casting materials, made a throwing posture and recited the incantation, and then threw the eggs.
The enemy rogues reacted quickly and directly threw flying knives to smash the rotten eggs in the air. However, the purple smelly cloud still formed at the place where the eggs were scheduled to fall, covering all the rogues!
Immediately, two wanderers began to vomit violently. Even guild members who were accustomed to living in dirty and smelly underground activities could not completely get used to this miserable stench. There were even theories that the stench caused by the Stinky Cloud Technique could be classified as
For mental attacks!(*)
The remaining thieves who could not resist the stench threw throwing knives in the direction of the king!
Although these flying knives followed the sound, one of them still hit Wang's left shoulder. Wang used all his control power not to scream out - if he made a sound, he would be hit by more flying knives.
attack.
The king looked at Druid and found that she was lying on the ground vomiting.
——Why, my spell didn’t cover her?
"The smell is so horrible, I hate the Stinking Cloud Technique!" The Druid said while vomiting and struggling.
Not covered in a smelly cloud, but starting to vomit?
When the king was shocked, all the wanderers could not bear the smelly cloud and began to vomit.
The experienced wanderer struggled to climb out of range, to the upwind direction, and began to wait for the stomach cramps to recover.
Wang decided to use the housekeeping spell he prepared today.
He took out a small ball made of bat guano and sulfur from the bag of magic materials.
Experienced adventurers will know what the mage is going to do when they see this thing in his hand. If this mage is a hostile mage, they will definitely try their best to stop him.
But the king is now invisible.
Although the stab wound on his shoulder seriously interfered with his spellcasting, the rigorous training in the Mage Tower played its role.
He shouted a spell and threw the dung ball in his hand at the enemy——
The dung ball turned into a fireball the size of a washbasin in mid-air, flying towards the wanderers who had just escaped from the stinky cloud with a hissing sound.
Some wanderers saw the fireball and hurriedly rolled to the side, only to find that they could not escape the scope of the explosion!
A clever wanderer wanted to jump into the smelly river nearby, but due to nausea, his soles slipped and his crotch hit the river bank.
The fireball landed.
The shock wave generated by the violent explosion swept through the entire channel.
Immediately afterwards, perhaps the biogas in the sewer was detonated, and a more violent explosion occurred!
The king and the unknown werewolf were easily blown away and rolled all the way on the ground.
After all, the mage is an adult male human and still has some weight, so he keeps rolling on the ground. The petite werewolf bounces on the ground like a rubber ball, and every time he hits it, he howls: "Ouch! Ah! Ouch! Croak!"
Just when the werewolf was about to roll past her, Wang reached out and grabbed her tail.
"Uhhhhh!"
The druid suddenly turned into a brown bear and slapped him.
Wang: "I know who is kidnapping cats and dogs!"
The brown bear's slap stopped only one centimeter away from Wang's head, and the strong wind of the palm swept across his cheek.
The druid changed back to her original form. The transformation just now had released the king's grip on her tail.
Unknown Werewolf Druid: "Can you show up first and then talk?"
+++++
(*) Explanation time, I have always had strong opinions on the spell Stinky Cloud. First of all, it is very effective. If the enemies within the range fail to save, they will get an effect called "nausea". After getting this effect,
You can only move, you can't attack, you can't cast spells, you can't use props.
My problem is that I don't understand why nausea can prevent people from attacking - it's understandable that they can't cast spells. After all, casting spells requires concentration.
Why can't you slash someone with a knife when you feel nauseated?
Therefore, the effect of the Stinky Cloud Technique has been changed this time so that it can cause people to vomit.
The druid has finally appeared. Although the tiefling druid is also very cute, to be honest, the character of the girl in the movie is not that outstanding. I can't create something I haven't seen before. If I write about the tiefling druid, I will
As a result, there is no reference and nothing outstanding.
So I made a werewolf short winter melon. By the way, it seems that there are no werewolves in the expanded rules of DND, only jackals. But you see, there can be mantises, why can't there be werewolves? I just want the white-haired vitality type.
Cat-eared druid girl!
Finally, just like in the movie, the druid in this book has also removed the limit on the number of daily transformations and can change at will. Therefore, the druid in this book can also do the same thing in the movie, continuously transforming and performing acrobatics.
