Pillars of Ita

Chapter 951 Chapter 280 Act Two 'Spying'?
The Paparars poked their heads out from behind a rock carefully, looking at a group of imperial soldiers patrolling a hundred feet away.This is the second team in a quarter of an hour. I don't know if it is his illusion. The frequency of the imperial army's patrols is higher than before.When he was about to search for the answer further, a hand pulled his collar from behind and dragged him back.

"Ouch, my waist, what are you doing?"

Alisa stared coldly at this guy in the dark with bright eyes, reminding him: "Ed said, no matter what, don't come within a hundred feet of him."

"What's the matter? I'm the king of nightingales in Sanshak. They won't be able to find me even at thirty feet, let alone a hundred feet." Parker rubbed his buttocks with his short hands and frowned. When I 'stealed' this honor at the Nightingale Contest, that guy didn't know where he was!"

"First," Alisa pointed a finger at him expressionlessly, "the other party also has battle craftsmen, and it has nothing to do with whether you are the King of Nightingales. Ed said that the clockwork goblin's detection range is extremely wide. But for passive detection, one hundred feet is the limit of its perception range—"

"Second, even if you can do it, it doesn't mean that everyone can. We are just here to help others find the way, so there is no need to take a closer look. You are just satisfying your own curiosity."

"Third, I asked the big cat and Tianlan, when I was in Sanshak..."

"Okay, okay," the Paparael hurriedly waved his short hand to interrupt her, "The big cat has already gone back, and Tianlan is not here, at worst, I take back my opinion, Alisa, in order to maintain That guy is kind of omnipotent."

"Oh, that's right. First of all, the guy you said is the leader of our adventure group," she narrowed her eyes dangerously and subtly, and asked with a smile, "Secondly, you think I'm boring?"

"That... that's not true," the Pappalar suddenly exclaimed, "What are you doing, put the dagger back, we have something to discuss."

If you say that, someone has been following them since then, entering the underground, until now.Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, the Seven Seas Brigade has never encountered such a thing before, which is too creepy.

But now the two contradict each other, making it very difficult for him to adapt.

But it does.

Before Attila left, the elf lady and the big cat were better than her in terms of experience, but after they left, she was the only eye in the team.The cat lady who just joined the team may also have such abilities, but the other party stayed on the Seven Seas Traveler to watch the ship and took over the job of the big cat, and did not participate in this adventure.

The guy was leaning against a huge rock with his hands folded, and when he saw his gaze, he didn't rush, but instead asked, "What are you looking at, I have flowers growing on my body?"

Fang Plover suddenly realized that he was wasting his time with the same knowledge as this guy. This was something he had already realized when he was in Traveler's Rest—in a sense, this guy was a bit like a box.He glanced at the direction of the box, and the boy was holding his sword and talking non-stop, as if no one else existed——

The so-called punishment without teaching, even though the imperial people have the power to kill and kill, they are foreigners and are not under the jurisdiction of the first division. In fact, the imperial people may really not be able to do anything to them.

She looked Fang Plover up and down: "Ed, you are such a monster."

On the contrary, Luo Wei frowned lightly, and Fang Ploy said: "Actually, I just wanted to ask about this point, but I'm not sure. After all, I'm just a goblin envoy, and I don't know much about combat structures. But according to As far as I know, the passive detection range of most combat craftsmen is less than [-] feet, and the clockwork goblin can only perceive the range of a few meters around when it moves. Craftsmen mainly rely on vision to complete the detection of the battlefield, so they are more Good at reconnaissance in war, active in most battlefields."

Alisa was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but stop, and turned to look at this guy.

Battle Craftsman has never been synonymous with omnipotence, otherwise he would not need to join the team, this is something he has always understood.

"That's right," Shui Wuming suddenly realized, "I think so too. No wonder I always felt that Ed was different from other craftsmen. After all, Elite also has many battle craftsmen, and you are completely different from them."

Fang Plover looked into the darkness and nodded, "I feel like someone is spying on us."

Even Sylvie couldn't help giving him a strange look, "Ed?"

"What happened?"

Fang Plover's eyes turned black, and this guy actually made sense, "Could it be that you can do it now?"

Luo Wei looked at the three of them and asked, "Ed, is the spying you mentioned the same as what you told us when you went to the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Thank you, Sylvie."

Miss Nightingale's gaze hidden under the darkness was also always paying attention to that direction.A cold light flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand without looking back. The pitch-black blade accurately hit the head of the poisonous lizard sneaking out from between the cracks in the rock, causing it to lie limp.

As she spoke, she drew a few lines on the ground with the ruler in her hand. It was a simple topographic map.

Everyone was stunned.

"That's not true. How could flowers grow on rocks?" Fang Plover said angrily, "Aren't you a professional combat craftsman? Why don't you remind me?"

"Wait, when did I agree?"

However, Miss Nightingale, who was looking back and forth between the three of them, was even more powerless. The Seven Seas Brigade sometimes seemed very reliable. For example, they were able to overthrow the behemoth Duke Hawke in Aiyin Brock, and they talked about it above the arbitration court. At that moment, time freezes and everything seems like a legend.

It seems that at most it can only be said to be a violation of the regulations, not to mention violating the laws of the empire, let alone any dangerous actions.

Explained the main points of the next action with others. Of course, Alisa is mainly responsible for the mention of stealth, and the Pappalal is responsible for the actual operation and inspection. However, others discovered that there seems to be one missing in this plan. people.

In this team, if there is something that she and Parker haven't noticed but someone has noticed, it should be the box, not Fang Plover, the battle craftsman.

Everyone nodded, which is a good way.

The next moment, the dagger resurfaced between her fingers.Alisa turned her head and looked at this guy with some amusement: "So what?"

According to the survey by the Stargate Data Administration, there are less than 25 million people in the first world and the second world in terms of the number of callers above level 270. From level 25 to level 30, this number drops to [-]. about.

"You 'oh—' what?"

The person he was looking at was Liu Liyue.

But the other party has been following up to this point, and insisted on not showing up, which only shows that there should be other intentions.But as long as the other party is not on the side of the empire, is completely contrary to their interests, and does not have enmity with the Seven Seas Brigade itself, then other possibilities should be negotiable.

He shook his head. "But I also understand the reason why I can't scare myself, so I didn't mention it to others, and that's the reason. In short, after listening to this matter, just keep it in your heart. It's not harmful to pay attention, but we are currently The main focus should be on the immediate matter.”

She paused and looked at Fang Plover, "Actually, it is rare among combat craftsmen to cooperate with a team like you. Although craftsmen also act with adventure groups, they are often only responsible for logistics work, or It’s to explore the nearby terrain or something.”

"Of course it's the monster lizard."

But around the gap, there are heavily guarded by imperial soldiers, and it is not so easy to get through without anyone noticing.

"What about that guy?"

She didn't mean to say that.

Luo Wei smiled slightly, "It's overrated, it's just that we all entered into a misunderstanding before."

But Sylvie didn't care, and only smiled at him.

That is to say, in Altaria, the real elites are selected among the 30 people.And this number looks big, but it is actually not too much evenly divided among the countries, but only in the empire, the number of several border guards in the empire is far more than that.

However, according to the investigations of Alisa and the Paparars just now, the patrols of the Imperials also have their intervals. If it is true as Fang Yan said, if the combat craftsmen accompanying the other party cannot achieve his detection capabilities, there will be a quarter of an hour interval. In the meantime, they can still seize the opportunity to slip past.

After he mentioned it, other people reacted.Miss Nightingale turned her head and inspected repeatedly, and finally found Fang Plover on the edge of a rock, "Captain?"

If this is the case, wouldn't the opponent be able to avoid the detection of everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade? How outrageous is the strength of the opponent?

Fang Plover did understand that his simulation computing power was much higher than that of ordinary battle craftsmen, so the clockwork goblin's passive detection ability was also far better than ordinary people.But when he was moving, he was still inferior to Miss Nightingale or even the Paparars for the meticulous search work of finding hidden creatures and objects.

Liu Liyue is very bachelor: "I can't do it."

"That's right," Alisa threw the dagger in her hand a little excitedly, and said approvingly, "Sister Luo Wei, it's no wonder they say that you are the brain of the younger generation of Godslayers. Having said that, the rest of the matter will be It’s much easier to handle, and we’ve seen even bigger scenes.”

Sylviede carefully drew a line on the gravel map, and then added several other shallower lines as backup routes.If there is nothing wrong with the investigation information and nothing unexpected, each of these routes she planned is enough to make them avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial people.

As he spoke, he glanced at the tall pillars shining with electric lights in the distance, and the huge iron cones nailed into the ground. They seemed to be injecting something into this Gay crystal vein.

She looked at the others, and Shui Wuming and Xiaoyao quickly waved their hands, "Don't look at us, we may not know more about clockwork fairies than you. It's okay to control it, but let's forget about passive investigation."

Seeing his return, the others didn't think much about it. Except for Luo Wei's slight awareness, Shui Wuming and Xiaoyao didn't seem to think about it any more.However, his miss, the ship's officer, was deeply impressed by the character of the other party. After everyone turned their attention away, she walked over alone and asked him.

"Are we acting illegally?" Luo Wei asked suddenly.

In the end, at most, they are forbidden to stay here, and they are forbidden to set foot here again.

"There is no adventure without risk," the Paparael shouted. "If this is also scary, then we might as well stay in the city and not come out."

"Think about it, ordinary craftsmen are not so exaggerated. The clockwork goblin's passive detection range is a hundred feet or something. If this is the case, why do we need our Nightingale? Do you remember the content of the Nightingale tutorial, hello?"

Fortunately, there are still some normal people in the regiment. Sylvaide rested her hand on her chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "But in this way, our original plan seems a little too cautious. If the imperial party The scope of investigation has been reduced, maybe we can still find a lot of infiltration routes."

"It's business," she said.

When neither she nor Parker noticed anything, Fang Yan said that they felt that someone was spying on them. Even though they had unconditional trust in their leader, they still felt weird.

"It's nothing, since you agree, let's go back and report to others."

Fortunately, the imperial army has gone far, otherwise this guy must be attracted to come over and take a look.

Sylviede looked at her, then nodded.

But few people can imagine what's under the glamor. Maybe one day the Seven Seas Brigade suddenly came to the verge of disbanding. It's not surprising that Alyssa was knocked down because of funds or other nonsensical reasons. Never thought about it, because few people can beat a fool head-on.

Alisa and Parker had already figured out the patrol route and time of the Imperial Army before, and she borrowed the hand of Fang Plover to use the clockwork goblin to explore the nearby terrain, except that there seemed to be an invisible layer of barriers blocking the cracks under the crystal clusters. Outside of the goblin's inaccessibility, they have already figured out the inside and outside of the vicinity.

However, he remembered one thing, and couldn't help but look at someone beside him. Shui Wuming and Xiaoyao are ordinary alchemists, and Senior Sister Luo Wei is a goblin envoy. It's fine if they don't understand, but he clearly remembered that there was another professional The battle craftsman is here, why hasn't he said a word until now?

The four of them looked at each other for a moment.

In the past, this was a rare situation.

"Okay," the Paparael took a step back in fright, and wiped his body with his short hand, "I agree. But have you ever thought about the possibility that that guy has some problems in his mind?" Yes," he said, pointing to his forehead.

"What did you find?" Miss Nightingale asked amusedly.

Fang Yan was slightly taken aback, turned around, saw the puzzled looks of the others, and realized that he seemed to have missed something just now.He scratched his head again and asked, "Have you thought about it, how to avoid the eyes and ears of the imperial people, the plan has been made?"

Fang Plover hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

She asked carefully again: "Commander, did your clockwork goblin see something?"

"It's nothing," Fang Yan looked in that direction, "I just heard senior sister Luo Wei talk about our affairs in the empire, and then I lost my mind. I think you have already discussed the plan, since the imperial people have nothing to worry about , then we just need to find a way to go deeper.”

"Look," the Paparael said immediately, "I said, this is just a little trouble, this is the keenness of the Nightingale King."

The lady ship officer snorted softly upon hearing this.

She is the ship officer of the Seven Seas Traveler, so she naturally knows how difficult the team's financial situation is.

She put down the ruler in her hand, raised her head and looked at everyone with blue eyes.

But among these people, first of all, most of them are craftsmen and scholars, and the real combat callers only account for about a quarter of all callers.And among these quarters, 70.00% stopped before level 25. The higher the level, the rarer the number of people, and finally formed a pyramid-like structure.

The Paparael's face turned blue and white one after another, and he couldn't help it, but he swore that if he had answered wrong just now, maybe this crazy woman would have stabbed him or something.After all, she and her sister seemed a little scary when they were listening to the rain, and they didn't act according to common sense.

"Spying?"

The plan sounds simple, but in fact it is too difficult to avoid accidents in the plan. The more people there are, the more difficult it is to control accidents.Ms. Ship Officer deeply regrets this point, especially in their team there are many novices who are completely inexperienced. No matter how elite these 'novices' are, inexperience is inexperience, and mistakes are often unavoidable. .

This unfortunate guess quickly turned into reality. Facing the questions of the two, their young leader was surprised, as if he had gained some new knowledge.Fang Plover blinked innocently, scratched his head with his hands, and asked other people: "Also, I understand that everyone's detection range is different, but I don't think it will be twice as bad. Is it a lot?"

broken.Our Miss Nightingale knew that someone was going to make a joke again when she saw the expression on her leader's face.

"I understand, Miss Alyssa," Fang Yan interrupted her, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, "but it was just a feeling, without any symptoms, as if it suddenly appeared in your heart. It's hard to get around that."

"Indeed," Fang Yan also agreed with this point, "as long as the other party is not from the empire, then we have nothing to worry about. Even if the other party has some intentions, as long as there is demand, even if the ultimate goal is not the same, at least we can still talk. "

So she also left some redundancy, and lightly pointed it out to others.

"Go away." Alisa sneered at this guy, and walked to Sylvied's side, "Miss Sylviede, make a plan."

She pointed to a place on the map, which was the gap leading to the underground world protected by those crystal clusters—the imperialists built a fortress on the island in the middle of the lake, but it was impossible to set their sights on the underground world. Behind every shadow, so they were able to sneak all the way here.

"Oh--"

Well, Fang Plover suddenly felt a little tired.

Alisa's gaze was even more strange.

Everyone hid in a depression in a rock, avoiding all the prying eyes of the outside world. The scene seemed a little silent, and no one joked anymore.

Money is still a trivial matter, and losing talent in the guild is something that makes these elites feel embarrassed.

Alisa was slightly startled, and then remembered that incident, but at the time she thought it was a local gang, and there were no follow-up incidents, so she didn't remember it for a while.

"So what's the difference?"

Regardless of the large number of callers, according to the official statistics of the Stargate, since the opening of the Stargate, there have been one billion callers who have entered the Stargate one after another. Coupled with the native adventurers of Etalia, this number is even more exaggerated.

After thinking about this point, Fang Yan felt relieved and took a look at his miss, the ship's officer.He has been full of doubts because of this matter since before, until now a big stone fell from his heart, and he couldn't help feeling a little grateful.

Besides, being polite is Fang Plover's business.

Luo Wei's question seemed to wake everyone up. At first, they always thought that they were sneaky and sneaky. Although this was true, the imperialists secretly built a fortress here, and they did not explain the reason to outsiders.

After counting everyone, the Pappalals realized that their leader seemed to be invisible from the beginning of the discussion. Not only did he not express any opinions, but he also did not participate in the whole plan. Everything was sponsored by Ai Li Sha and Sylwede did it alone.

After they left the entrance to the underground lake, they sneaked all the way along the edge of the underground lake and measured the terrain in this area.Miss Ship Officer herself has rich experience in drawing, and the sketches drawn with a few strokes can also make people see the key points clearly at a glance.

Of course, the risks are not small.

All the actions of the imperial people seem like a mystery at present, but the purpose of their trip has nothing to do with it. No matter what the imperial people are planning in this place, their purpose is only to find the location of the tower-type magic furnace. Secret will do.

Liu Liyue spread her hands together: "If I remind you, won't it appear that you can do it, but I can't?"

Among the team, she and Parker are the most sensitive, because they are Nightingales. The existence of number one.

Sylvaide's words dispelled everyone's doubts. After all, as she said, if the spying party came from the empire, it was neither necessary nor superfluous.But if it didn't come from the empire, and the opponent had any bad intentions, then they should have taken action when the earth elements attacked them, and that was the weakest moment of the Seven Seas Brigade.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that Fang Yan's feeling is not an illusion.

Fang Plover shook his head, this is where he was confused, of course he released his 'Silver Bee', but compared to his intuition, the Silver Bee got nothing.His intuition has always been accurate and saved his life more than once during the July War, but compared to his intuition, he believed in the information obtained by his other eye—the clockwork goblin.

Yes, but it seems not.The imperials blocked this mining area, but the reason to the outside world is because of its danger, but this danger is for ordinary people, if there are adventurers who ignore their own safety and regard life safety as nothing, they insist on breaking into this place if.

But he still insisted: "Actually, I also found out."

Miss Ship Officer has her own plans, and she will not be polite to these people.Sylvaide naturally understood that these people were friends with Fang Plover, so she would not easily speak out against them in front of outsiders, but she had never met these people before, so she was able to be this villain.

Therefore, making a plan is not a difficult task.Everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade has fought side by side many times, and everyone knows each other's abilities. These Black Armored Imperial Army seem to be more elite than the imperial army outside, but their level is far inferior to the real elite adventurers. After all, in terms of numbers That said, there is a huge difference between the two.

At this time Luo Wei came over, she had been listening from the side since just now, and Fang Yan did not avoid the senior sister, he actually had nothing to hide, it was just his own undecided speculation, and he didn't want to be there. It just caused unnecessary tension among the team.

"The difference is that you didn't know that I couldn't do it before."

Sylviede pondered for a moment, and said: "Taking a step back, if someone is really spying on us from behind, but if the other party is from the empire, then now is the best time for him to catch us. There are imperial troops everywhere, All he needs to do is shout, and he doesn't even need to shout, just report to the Imperial Army, and we won't be able to fly without wings."

But what caught his attention just now was something else.

Alyssa was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, she looked around, "Could it be an illusion of the underground environment?"

"Ok?"

"You are confusing concepts, Parker," Alisa pointed out mercilessly, "Risks can also be divided into controllable and uncontrollable. We still have the power to protect ourselves when we encounter monsters like earth elementals. But in the Imperial Army In front of us, we can only do nothing, and in such an environment, it is easy to cause diplomatic disputes."

Even Alisa shook her head after thinking carefully for a while, and couldn't help but said: "I know... Captain, the necessary vigilance is essential, but if you just rely on speculation... without any evidence, you can do it yourself If you scare yourself..."

"you……"

Everyone became serious, even Xiaoyao, who was the most unshape, restrained his attitude at this time, they invested money in this "adventure" business, if it was because of their own problems, even Fang Plover might I will be polite to them, but as the elites of the major guilds, they are too embarrassed to ask for the money back.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Fang Plover always feels that the other party seems a little dissatisfied after hearing what he said.

……

　As I said yesterday, the status has just recovered recently, so the daily update will be a bit late.

　　But as I said before I got sick, I will continue to update this time when I come back to write. It was a special situation before, but this time I will try to keep updating. If there is any interruption in the future, I should say something in advance.
