Chapter 466 The Turmoil Caused by a Lolita Running away from Home (1/110)
For Sean in his current state, it's a bit of a trick.
The Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard itself is a master of stealth hunting. Its use of shadows is beyond ordinary people's imagination. I dare not say that all shadows can be used by it. At least it is extremely sensitive to this area. It hides in the shadows when it has nothing to do. This is not deliberately to tease Sean.
Sensitive nerves?
Not to mention, Sean's perception ability has now been strengthened countless times, and he is in a state of omniscience and omnipotence. As long as he wants, he can peek into any corner of the northern fortress.
The reason why the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard was used was to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
In his own lair, someone dared to follow him.
This is interesting.
Although he noticed something strange, Sean did not show it. Instead, he controlled the Shadow Soul-Eating Leopard to walk to the Mage Tower according to the original plan. His main consciousness had returned to the Mage Tower and spread out overwhelmingly.
The normal visual blind spots and shadows were no longer a problem, and the sneaky figure was immediately exposed in front of Sean.
Seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Sean couldn't help but laugh.
The one peeking out from the shadows is a little Luoli who is in her early ten years. She wears a pair of braids and has a baby-fat little face. You can tell at a glance that she is a beauty. The most outstanding thing is her
The pair of big, watery eyes, at first glance, look like a fawn in the forest, but from time to time, there is an eccentric energy to them.
Behind her was a military backpack that was half her body size, and she had an air of travel that could not be concealed.
This little Luoli is none other than the baby girl that Sean dug out from the ruins of the village, Darnell's close disciple Irina.
Looking at her current appearance, not only did she run away from home this time, but she also succeeded. She traveled all the way from the medical research base to the northern fortress alone.
What kind of teacher there is, there is what kind of disciple.
Elena grew up listening to stories about Darnell traveling across thousands of mountains and rivers. She was very interested in measuring the Ashan continent with her feet. When she was five or six years old, she had already started packing her own bags.
Ready to travel around the world.
The result can be imagined. After wandering around for a long time, I didn't even get out of the medical research base.
But this dream did not disappear as he grew older. Instead, it became stronger. Whenever he had conflicts with Ms. Elena and Priest Darnell, he threatened to run away from home.
It’s just that if you cry wolf too much, no one will believe you.
Most of the time, little Elena just shouted and did not take any action. At most, she would find a corner to hide and sulk.
I don’t know what’s going on this time. He unexpectedly came to the northern fortress without anyone noticing. His mother’s side is still in trouble?
Not right either!
Her teacher, Reverend Darnell, was very attached to her baby, and it was impossible not to notice that she had been missing for such a long time.
Sean's scope of exploration became wider, and his perception was fully activated, like a tide, overwhelming the world.
Sure enough, one kilometer behind little Elena, Sean found traces of her teacher, Priest Darnell.
Compared with this, little Elena's concealment level is not even close to that. If it weren't for Sean's current special condition, it would not be easy to find him out.
It seems that he has been following and guarding little Elena. This is no wonder why he has not received any news from his mother until now.
Darnell's education method is very unique. He has never advocated restricting little Elena's nature. He has an open attitude towards many things and encourages her to take the initiative to try.
From the perspective of a lord, Sean does not support this sheep-herding education method, because it means it is inefficient and inconvenient to manage. What the territory needs is a large number of professionals, not a group of free and undisciplined romantics.
From the perspective of parents, this unique education method is recognized, because this method explores one's own strengths and nature and retains personal characteristics to the greatest extent.
Human nature is always selfish, and Sean is no exception.
Sean understood in an instant why Darnell did what he did.
Sooner or later, the baby bird will leave the nest. Since little Elena has the dream of traveling around the world, she will put it into action sooner or later. Instead of restricting her, it is better to let her go at the right time and let her try.
First, let her understand the difficulty of it earlier, and if she doesn't like it so much, she should give up the idea earlier.
The second is to see how far the little one can achieve and make a more accurate assessment of her abilities.
It's just that Sean's face is definitely not pretty right now. It's one thing to understand Darnell's intentions, but another thing to agree or not.
It's not about the educational methods used this time, but that they traveled back and forth in the Yongye Army Territory without permission, and now they have penetrated into the core hinterland of the Yongye Army Territory, the northern fortress full of secrets.
In particular, Darnell has a special status. He is just a missionary in the Eternal Night Army. Before this, he only knew the name of the Northern Fortress and did not know its internal situation, let alone that he was inextricably linked to the Holy See of Saint Ether.
contact.
At least the fact that he is leading the Eternal Night Army is no longer a secret to the Holy See of Saint Ether. In recent years, he has re-established contact with Pope Delt, and there has been a close exchange of letters between the two parties.
In view of the fact that Darnell had helped the Eternal Night Army when they were weak, and over the years, he has abided by his original agreement with Sean, and only preached in a proper manner without crossing the line.
He might even need to be used in dealings with the Holy See.
So Sean turned a blind eye to this matter.
However, Darnell entered the Northern Fortress without permission, which undoubtedly broke the bottom line of Sean's psychological endurance.
However, Sean did not take action immediately. The moment Darnell's identity was confirmed, the Thundering Golden Eagle immediately left the Trisolaris Mage Tower and entered the Eagle's Nest of the Northern Fortress. Soon, more than a dozen messenger mountain eagles left.
He came out of the nest and rushed to various places led by the Yongye Army.
Darnell has a complicated identity, has lived in the Evernight Army for many years, and has close contacts with many senior leaders of the Evernight Army. Before a showdown with him, Sean must find out where the other party has gone.
The title of a man who stands at the top of the food chain is not deserved.
Even though he has lived peacefully in the Evernight Army for nearly ten years, Darnell's personal cultivation has never fallen behind. After being targeted by Sean, his originally calm and touristy look gradually subsided, and he looked around with some surprise.
We changed three or four hiding spots in a row, during which we even used some anti-reconnaissance methods.
Obviously, Darnell noticed something, but failed to think outside the box. He thought that his whereabouts had been seen through, and wanted to find out what was behind him.
In the end, his efforts were in vain. Even if he racked his brains, he would not have thought that the eyes that were really monitoring him were on the tall tower several kilometers away.
However, this also reminded Sean that the perception ability of both the master warlock and the champion knight is quite powerful, and they can sense some things that ordinary people cannot sense.
If I want to use the God's Eye perception mode in the future without being noticed by others, I must calculate this carefully.
Sean carefully retreated his perspective of perception until he was four to five hundred meters away and no longer directly observing Darnell. The other party's vigilance was obviously reduced a lot.
He was obviously startled just now, and after that, every move he made became cautious.
Sean left a trace of his mind to stare at Darnell, and then took back most of his perceptions. However, he did not return directly to the mage tower, but spread out overwhelmingly with it as the center, unfolding along one line.
Don’t miss any corner, ravine or cave.
Little Elena and Darnell sneaked into the Northern Fortress without anyone noticing, sounding the alarm for Sean.
He didn't have the ability before, but now he has the ability. He wants to see how many rats got into the northern fortress.
Because Sean's abilities were fully activated, the roar of the energy reaction room became obviously louder, the speed of the magic energy torrent in the mage tower increased by several levels, and the shimmer on the surface of the mage tower also became much brighter.
Now the Mage Tower has become a unique scenery in the northern fortress at night. Although the light it emits is not strong, its range is quite far, and it can be seen in most of the northern fortress.
"Did you feel something just now?"
"What does it feel like?"
"I feel like someone is watching me from behind!"
"What are you talking about? There is a city wall behind us, how could there be someone behind us? It's just your illusion!"
"Maybe it's because of the gust of wind that blew just now. It's so evil. The sky is clear, where did the wind come from?"
"I think you didn't sleep well last night and were just thinking nonsense here!"
"How do you know I didn't sleep well yesterday?"
"As soon as I got to work today, I couldn't stop yawning. Didn't I sleep well? Tell me honestly, what bad things did you do last night? Did you find your new girlfriend again?"
"I wanted to do something bad, but I was dragged by that person to look at the Mage Tower for half a night. I admit that the newly built Mage Tower is really magical, especially at night. It can change into different colors, but it also uses
You don’t have to watch it all night, right?”
"Hey, don't you understand women? They are all visual animals. They are not only interested in various colors, but also obsessed with various gems and clothing. You will have to bear with it in the future!"
"It sounds like you know it very well! Have you ever touched a woman's hand in your life?"
"If you don't believe it, I will pull you down."
Wherever Sean's consciousness passed, a series of comments were left behind.
Some people didn't notice it at all, and some people with sharper facial features clearly felt something, but after looking around for a while and not noticing anything, they could only think of it as a strange gust of wind.
However, if this kind of wind appears indoors or in an underground cave, it will be a bit weird and scary.
It doesn't matter that Sean did this extensive carpet inspection, it really yielded a lot of results.
The Northern Fortress is indeed an excellent place for harboring dirt and evil. Its three-dimensional structure allows it to have many more blind spots than an ordinary city.
The most important thing is that the mountain range where it is located has karst landforms and a large number of underground caves. In recent years, the Northern Fortress has successively developed and utilized some of them.
Sean's investigation found that their utilization rate was less than one-third of the total number, especially the three super underground caves, whose combined area was one-half larger than the total area of the Northern Fortress.
One of them is still covered with a large number of artificial traces. These artificial traces are not from the ancient Andis Empire. Judging from the texts and statues, they belong to an older civilization. The specific kind of civilization they belong to is unknown for the time being, at least with Sean.
The known Elf Empire has nothing to do with the Age of Giants. Judging from the statues and bones, this human race was short and thick with a big beard, somewhat similar to the dwarves from the Elf Empire period.
This underground cave is in a sealed state. Judging from this suspected dwarf race relic, the current cave only belongs to part of the original one, and a large part has collapsed due to environmental changes. This may even be the culprit of the destruction of this underground town.
If it weren't for Sean's special condition, this relic would have been buried underground for who knows how long before it was discovered.
Archaeological research was not Sean's main purpose this time. After marking its location, Sean continued his journey of catching mice.
Not to mention, Sean actually caught a big rat.
The Eternal Night Army searched the entire territory but could not find the big rat—Arnold Strachey.
Sean has never met General Arnold, but it does not prevent him from recognizing him at a glance, because in terms of appearance, General Arnold and Archduke Cedric are very similar.
He has a Chinese character face that people like, and there is a lingering military demeanor in his words and deeds.
The only difference is that there is a sense of justice in Archduke Cedric's military demeanor.
General Arnold's military demeanor exudes a ruffian vibe, which is always a bit improper and bad. This is what those ladies and young ladies in Huaichun love most. No wonder this guy attracts bees wherever he goes.
butterfly.
General Arnold is really good at choosing places. He chose the underground cave where the energy reaction chamber is located as his foothold in the northern fortress.
This is the core hinterland of the Northern Fortress and is the most tightly guarded.
However, this kind of precaution is only for the outside world. On the contrary, few people come here, and it is a complete blind spot from the perspective.
Judging from the living supplies he prepared for himself, it seemed that he had been in the northern fortress for a long time, enough for him to have a clear picture of the situation up and down the northern fortress.
Sean felt that his head was starting to hurt again.
Where can Arnold drill?
He just sneaked into the northern fortress.
If what he had stolen was just some of the more conventional secret-secret technologies from the Eternal Night Army, Sean would have reluctantly turned a blind eye and let him go for the sake of Sophia Liya and Archduke Cedric. Now, let’s say
Nothing can let him escape easily.
Some things in the Northern Fortress are really not suitable to be disclosed to the public, even to Sophia Liya and Archduke Cedric who are allies.
After a burst of pain in his head, endless anger surged.
First it was Darnell, then Arnold.
wrong.
Arnold should be the first, then Darnell, and they should all head towards the northern fortress.
Where do you think this is?
Public toilet?
Come when you want and leave when you want!
Now that you are here, you have to pay a price.
Buzz!
Compared to Darnell, General Arnold was worthy of being a soldier. Not only was his alertness no less than that of his opponent, his reactions were even more neat. He sensed something was wrong and shot him out first.
As you can imagine, the result was a blank slate.
"I clearly feel like someone is staring at me, how could there be no one?" General Arnold muttered to himself with a puzzled look on his face.
Then suddenly, he jumped out like a cheetah, appeared at a corner of the cave with a gust of wind, and stabbed the corner with a diagonal shot.
His spear was obviously an unusual weapon. The hard rock was as soft as tofu in his hands, and he was stabbed directly through it. If there was a person hiding behind it, it would probably be destroyed.
Fortunately, he is in a state of soul consciousness now, otherwise Sean's face would be as ugly as possible.
First, he was a little shocked by Arnold's ruthlessness. In the past year or so, he had been lurking in the Yongye Army. How many soldiers and civilians of the Yongye Army had been killed?
Secondly, Arnold's speed just now clearly exceeded that of regular champion knights, and there were traces of magical energy surging in his legs.
Arnold is neither a warlock nor does he have the blood of an Odin orc. There is only one possibility for him to be able to use magic energy - enchanting equipment.
The Eternal Night Army leader now has a unique specialty. Apart from exporting it to the Kentana barbarians in the mountains, they have never had it in the hands of Sophia Liya, who is close to Sean.
The ancillary equipment of the Yongye Army Leader is not conventional equipment. They are all made one by one and are only available for junior officers and above. Not only are they frequently inventoried, but they are also subject to strict review procedures for scrapping, just to prevent leakage.
Since an enchanted piece of equipment appears in Arnold, the only possibility is that it was stolen directly from the low-level officers of the Evernight Army Leader. As for the low-level officers who were robbed by him, most of them have already met misfortune.
