Chapter four hundred and sixty-eight cat play mouse
"Priest Darnell did not understand the characteristics of the Northern Fortress. This place is under closed management, especially those core units. In order to avoid the leakage of information, they prohibit written things from entering and exiting." Arnold explained with a wry smile.
road.
"It seems that General Arnold's troubles are bigger than mine." Darnell shrugged and did not continue to ask the question. He turned the question back to the previous question, "Can we continue what General Arnold said before?
Is there an intelligence problem? How much do you know about our current situation?"
Arnold didn't answer and asked: "I wonder if Reverend Darnell has noticed the tall tower on the top of the mountain before?"
"I noticed it." Darnell nodded and said, "Since entering the Northern Fortress, it is difficult not to notice it. Could it be that the problem lies in that high tower?"
"Yes." Arnold nodded and said, "That high tower is not a high tower in the ordinary sense, but a mage tower."
"Mage Tower?" Darnell frowned. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who really understood the hidden meaning of these three words.
"It's not a mage tower in a symbolic sense, but a mage tower in the true sense that can cast battle magic." Arnold added.
"A mage tower that can cast battle magic? The Eternal Night Army leader built it himself?" Darnell showed a horrified expression, "I admit that the development speed of the Eternal Night Army leader is indeed a bit extraordinary, and he also has many things in his hands that are beyond ordinary people's imagination.
technology, but there is still no way to achieve this level, right?"
"Before this, I was doubtful until I saw a unique auxiliary tool called the Perception Tower in their arsenal. It allows ordinary craftsmen to have the same perception capabilities as warlocks. I just heard about this
When I did something, the expression on my face was the same as yours, until I secretly tried it myself..."
"How is it?" Darnell couldn't help but ask.
"It's even more magical than the legend." Arnold couldn't help showing a dazzled expression and said, "I saw a colorful world, as if I had glimpsed the essence of this world, and the earth was crawling under my feet. This mage
The tower is an enlarged model of those perception towers. The perception towers used by craftsmen are only three or four meters high, which is enough to strengthen my perception dozens of times. I can easily feel things thousands of meters away. If this mage tower is built by a
Warlock control, what do you think will happen?"
"This will be a disaster for all stalkers." Darnell took a breath of air and said, "The opponent's enhanced consciousness will envelope the entire city."
"That's right." Arnold nodded and said, "I just thought about this problem. I was too greedy. I wanted to see what the mage tower would be like after it was completed, but I forgot.
This kind of thing is a disaster for people like me. Looking back now, the person who followed me earlier was not a person at all, but a pair of eyes that were everywhere."
Recalling the process of being followed, Darnell's face became very ugly, because he seemed to be in a similar situation.
At this moment, he felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.
Taking a deep breath, Darnell tried to calm down and said, "So, this fog is also caused by the Mage Tower?"
"Probably." General Arnold nodded.
"Understood. Thanks to General Arnold for the information, I'm going to take the first step." Darnell nodded.
"Where are Priest Darnell going?" Arnold couldn't help but ask, "At this time, I think it's safest for the two of us to join forces. Since the root cause is in the Mage Tower, we just need to rush to the Mage Tower.
, everything will be solved naturally, even if you want to explain the misunderstanding, you have to see the talent."
"My situation is not the same as General Arnold's after all." Darnell shook his head and said, "I can't do it without a head-on confrontation with the territory. Once I do it, it will only make the situation worse. I
I still have to find my students."
"Hey, I'm afraid this kind of thing is not something you can decide! By the way, I forgot to ask, what is the relationship between your student and the territory?" Arnold was obviously interested in Darnell who was doing espionage work but didn't know how to do it.
A serious and dissatisfied attitude.
"She is the adopted daughter of Lord Sean's mother." Darnell replied.
"Then Priest Darnell doesn't need to worry about her safety. Maybe she is already drinking tea in the Mage Tower now." Arnold said very optimistically, "Things have reached this point. Don't Priest Darnell want to
Let’s see how far this mage tower built by Yong Ye’s military leader can go.”
At the end of the sentence, Arnold held the blood-red spear tightly and was in high spirits.
This is the true nature of what he is called the Spear of the God of War. The more challenging something is, the more it arouses his interest.
"No, I wish you good luck." Darnell obviously did not have such a strong desire to be aggressive, so he waved his hand and retreated into the depths of the fog.
Click!
A bolt of lightning struck Darnell in a zigzag pattern.
Darnell instinctively drew his sword and tried to resist.
Suddenly he remembered that this was an extremely stupid act. He took out his two-handed sword and backed away quickly.
The thunderbolt struck the two-handed sword, sending it flying across the air.
Darnell, who had retreated earlier, rushed back again, leaped up, and caught it back.
Even though his hands were filled with magic power, the remaining thunder and lightning power in the swords in both hands still made him tremble.
"Haha..." Arnold said with some gloating, "Priest Darnell doesn't want to join forces, so they have to agree."
Darnell looked a little gloomy and said: "What do you mean?"
"Since the two of us met, I have been thinking about a question, are you a human or a ghost?" Arnold smiled and said, "If you are a human, what is your purpose? If you are a ghost, what is your purpose?"
"General Arnold, please speak frankly if you have anything to say. I've had enough of your roundabout way of talking." Darnell looked displeased.
"Okay!" Arnold agreed, but in reality he still went his own way. "Now I can basically confirm that you, like me, are also uninvited ghosts, because your purpose is nothing more than representing the people who lead the Yongye Army.
You used your status as an acquaintance of mine to explore my background. I have already explained everything that needs to be explained. After that, you will either start a fight or continue to get close to me, but you chose to leave. This is undoubtedly the best explanation. So a new question
Come on, why can two ghosts meet in a foggy environment? What a coincidence!"
"You mean, the meeting between the two of us was deliberately arranged by the other party?" Darnell asked in disbelief.
"Isn't this obvious? I came here following the person who thought I was being followed. Priest Darnell should be in a similar situation." Arnold shrugged, "Since the other party's perception can cover the whole city, how could he commit a crime?
What about the low-level mistake that caused the two people to meet? It is much more difficult to deal with two top powerhouses joining forces than if they are separated. However, this thing still happened. The only possibility is that the other party deliberately arranged it."
"What's the point of doing this?" Darnell's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"Of course it makes sense. After two ghosts meet, the first thing they do is to exchange information. The other party can rely on our exchange of information to deduce the information we have about the northern fortress." Arnold pointed the spear in his hand at the surroundings, "Dane
Priest Er will not forget the other party’s powerful perception. Every word, every move we make is under the other party’s surveillance.”
Darnell's face darkened and he glared at Arnold, "So, you were trying to trick me just now?"
Apparently he remembered Arnold's repeated questions about his true purpose of coming to the northern fortress. At that time, he had no idea that there might be countless pairs of eyes around him.
Regardless of whether you have ghosts in your heart, aren't you deliberately cheating yourself by doing this?
"Sorry, I didn't know whether you were a human or a ghost before, so I had to test it out!" Arnold said without sincerity.
"Then what does it mean that the thunder just forced me back?" Darnell asked, resisting the urge to strike Arnold with a sword. He felt that his brain was a bit insufficient today.
Because both Sean and Arnold, who were dormant in the mage tower, were so calculating that a meeting in the fog actually involved so many twists and turns.
It may also be because they all have ghosts in their hearts, and he is the innocent one. Unfortunately, this innocence is probably only recognized by him, and neither Sean nor Arnold thinks so.
Arnold shrugged and said: "I want to try the power of this mage tower. The other party may not want to lend us a hand to see how powerful our new weapons are. In the eyes of the other party, they may dislike us for being too weak alone."
, will be crushed, so I want the two of us to join forces. Of course, this is just my personal guess. Whether this is the specific reason, you need to ask the owner of this mage tower. How about Priest Darnell try again?
twice?"
"It is rumored that General Arnold's character has become very bad. I didn't believe it before, but now I have experienced it myself." Darnell's face became even darker. How dark-hearted is this guy to encourage him to test mines?
In response to Darnell's taunt, Arnold simply ignored it and said with a smile: "Priest Darnell doesn't believe what I said. This is one of your two choices. The other choice is to accompany me to the Mage Tower.
Let’s see what happens.”
Darnell took a deep breath and said loudly: "Lord Sean, is that you? If so, please give me a chance to explain. This matter has nothing to do with little Elena, and I have never peeked at the Yongye Army.
It means receiving a secret."
Arnold held the blood-colored spear and watched indifferently, neither stopping nor intending to follow suit, because he knew that his nature was different from that of the other party. He was indeed peeking into the other party's military secrets. This matter would not be solved so easily.
Even though the other party has a close relationship with his niece Sophia and has signed a cooperation agreement with Archduke Cedric.
There was silent silence in response to Darnell.
There seemed to be no third person between heaven and earth except him and Arnold.
After an awkward wait, Darnell decided to give it a try and cautiously walked away from Arnold.
But before he could take a few steps, lightning struck him again.
Compared with the last time, the power of this lightning strike was obviously much smaller, and the warning was clearly greater than the attack.
Darnell turned to look at Arnold, who spread his hands and said, "Priest Darnell, it seems like you have no choice now."
"I want to see how many thunderbolts he can use." Darnell was obviously not the kind of person to be led by the nose. His figure suddenly changed from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic, and he plunged into the thick atmosphere.
In heavy fog.
Click! Click! Click!
It was as if Darnell had triggered a certain mechanism. Countless thunder and lightning appeared out of thin air, one after another, forming a huge thunderstorm area and hitting his head.
Lightning strikes quickly, and Darnell's speed is even faster. The second before those lightning strikes, his speed will inevitably increase several times in an instant, and then an invisible barrier will appear outside him, isolating the body's ability to react to thunder and lightning.
Attraction.
Those lightning strikes could only hit the open space behind him.
Although the heavy fog formed by the dense spell energy blocked his sight, in this environment, Darnell was also at ease. Not only was it easier to cast the spell, it was also much more powerful than usual.
However, these mines were obviously controlled by someone. When they found that they could not catch up with Darnell, they immediately adjusted their strategy and began to arrange their advance, and densely bombarded in the direction of Darnell.
Caught off guard, Darnell was struck by a thunderbolt.
Fortunately, in order to pursue speed, these lightning strikes were all small and medium-sized and not very powerful. In addition, Darnell also had a shield formed by magical energy to defend himself, so not much lightning power actually penetrated into his body.
Even so, it still forced him into many dangers.
What was really terrifying was not the damage caused by the lightning, but the paralysis that came with it, which made him almost unable to dodge the subsequent series of attacks.
When Darnell hurriedly regained his rhythm, he found that he was back to the starting point under the attack of the thunderstorm, and Arnold's disgusting playful smile appeared in his sight again.
Arnold smiled and said: "Priest Darnell, accept the reality that the cat is playing with the mouse! As long as you accept it, you will find that the decision is not that difficult to make."
"I don't accept it!" Darnell said through gritted teeth.
Turning around, I rushed into the heavy fog again.
The results are exactly the same.
The seemingly terrifying thunderstorm failed to cause any substantial damage to him, but he also failed to rush out of the heavy fog and wandered around for a long time before wandering back again.
The fog formed by the energy of the spell not only blocked his sight, but also blocked his powerful perception, making it impossible for him to judge the direction. What was even weirder was that the surrounding buildings had become uniform at some point. He
It's like being in a huge maze.
It wasn't until he was forced to have no choice but to jump onto a roof that he realized that he missed the mark.
The heavy fog surrounding them not only blocked their sight and perception, but also had a hallucinogenic effect. What they saw and heard was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Including thunderstorms that look fierce.
Darnell couldn't tell which of these mines were real and which were fake.
Because whether it is true or false, it is all formed by magic energy, but the power contained in it is different.
The result of taking risks is to make yourself miserable.
Because as long as one of these lightning strikes is real, it will paralyze him if it hits him, and the ones that follow behind him will all be real.
Although Darnell doesn't want to admit it, what General Arnold said is true. They are now two mice under the cat's paw. They are deliberately teasing them, otherwise a champion knight will randomly come to entangle them, and those thunderbolts will kill them.
It only takes a few minutes to put it down.
As for whether there is a champion knight in the Northern Fortress, isn't this nonsense?
As the leader of an army, how could Sean not have a champion knight guard by his side?
Not to mention that the Lord's Guards being formed by the Yongye Army are being selected and trained in the surrounding area. There are nearly 10,000 serious knights.
Wherever you place it, it is a terrifying force.
Darnell could only bow his head and prepare to be the whetstone for the Mage Tower of the Eternal Night Army Leader.
Walking side by side with Arnold.
The thunderstorm that chased him all over the world disappeared as expected, and the peeping feeling from before reappeared, guiding them in the direction they were going.
Don’t mention that feeling of frustration.
Darnell felt like he had become a poor puppet on strings, and his every move had to follow the other person's will.
The clay figurine was also very angry. After a series of tossings, the guilt in Darnell's heart for not complaining had been almost worn away. He wanted to see what tricks Sean could come up with.
