Chapter 291 Accidental Discovery
Wang lowered his voice: "Can you tell how far away the speaker is from the door?"

Nini also lowered her voice: "About fifty steps."

Wang frowned: "So far? If I wanted to get closer, I would have fired flash dust into the corridor inside the door to dodge them."

Glitter Dust, a second-level conjuration spell, will create a sparkling dust cloud that will blind the creature's eyes the moment it appears. At the same time, if the dust falls on an invisible creature, it will outline its outline.

Ordinary invisibility will be cracked directly, and advanced invisibility will not be cracked. However, the target of high invisibility must clean the dust on his body before he can regain his invisibility. (*)

Wang continued: "If you are so far away, you can't make a surprise attack. You will be seen when you enter the door."

Gotrick: "There's no way to jump inside the door."

Gotrek's dash relies heavily on jumping. He relies on the instantaneous explosive power of his thighs to cover a long distance at once. If he runs in a straight line, his speed will not be that fast.

In other words, even if the rescue team enters the door now, there is no way to quickly engage the enemy.

Nini: "Don't worry, they are approaching the door. The teacher wants to arrest them for questioning, just wait for them to come over."

Wang: "Okay. Gotrick, you ambush by the door, and close the door at the same time, leaving a small gap. Xiaobai, go in and check the situation."

Gotrick immediately tiptoed to the door and closed the door until there was only a crack. Xiaobai transformed into a mouse and got in through the crack.

After a while, the mouse came back, transformed back into its original form and reported: "Three gray dwarves, all warriors."

Wang: "Is there any gray dwarf with more decorations on his armor than others? That one may be an officer."

"Yes." Xiaobai nodded, "The gray dwarf walking in the front has more decorations on his armor, and he does not wear a warhammer. Instead, he has a short sword inserted into his waist."

Flint: "Commander Sword is a master who can pry out information. The problem is that they are enslaved slaves and may rather die than surrender."

Wang looked at Franka: "Would they rather die than surrender?"

Franka: "You might as well worry about whether they will turn into those sarcoma monsters."

Wang Fu'e: "You're right, maybe all the slaves will become that kind of monster. If we fight the monster here, maybe our whereabouts will be exposed. Just to be on the safe side, bet that they won't find that the door has been opened. , let’s make a raid if we’re discovered. Gotrik, close the door tighter.”

Gotrek immediately closed the small slit until there was only a trace left.

Wang leaned over and put his ear against this small gap.

Elizabeth: "What are you doing?"

Wang hissed: "Don't say anything. Let me see if I can hear what they are saying."

Then the rescue team fell silent.

The dwarf wanted to get closer to the door, but Elizabeth kept gesturing to him to be quiet - the dwarf's armor was really noisy when it moved.

In the end, Flint had to stand awkwardly, still two meters away from the door.

Finally, the king heard voices.

Voice 1: "The progress on the Myconoid side is quite good, and soon the entire Myconoid Circle will be included in the adults' plan."

Voice 2: "Damn it, have you seen what those myconids look like after they've changed? I've been in the Underdark for so long and I've seen so many ugly things. I can't help but want to vomit when I see those foaming myconids. "

Voice 1: "You get used to it after seeing it too much. If you ask me, the kind of thing that the lower-level slaves turn into is almost disgusting. If it weren't for the fact that turning into that kind of thing would affect our intelligence, maybe we would also be implanted with bacteria. body."

Wang frowned.

Is it possible that not all of these gray dwarves and kuo-toa will turn into those sarcoma monsters?

Wang recalled his past experience of encountering senior members of the cult who used similar technologies, and suddenly remembered that among the master of the cult and the Catalan princess who came to raid the airship, only the princess had changed into a monster, and the master had not changed.

The top brass of the branch that uses the Cyclops ruins as their base seem to turn into monsters, but that branch is just a fish branch that catches test subjects.

Going back further, the first middle-level cultist that the rescue team encountered, the seventh-ring mage Erwin, did not turn into a monster. He died immediately when he died.In addition to the standard anti-death ring, Erwin's equipment also has a dragon-headed staff.

In terms of equipment, Irwin was superior to several senior leaders in that branch.

According to what some gray dwarves said, this kind of transformation requires the implantation of bacteria in the body, and the bacteria will affect intelligence?

Erwin went to Langdon City alone to start work, and it indeed required more judgment on his part.He had indeed been lurking underground for half a year without being exposed. If Elizabeth hadn't been so free to investigate the disappearance of cats and dogs, he might have succeeded.

On the other hand, is it because of the bacteria that the top leaders of other religious orders who can turn into monsters do some stupid things?
Erwin jumped in and attacked, almost wiping out the rescue team that had just assembled.The same goes for the Master of the Order's jumping face. If Erzam hadn't suddenly teleported over, the Salvation Team would probably have become the seedbed of the Order - No, no, the Order has been destroyed by the uncle who arrived.

Maybe the world-saving crisis will be solved.

Wang touched his chin and thought so intently that he even missed the gray dwarf's conversation inside.Xiaobai pulled his sleeves and lowered his voice and said, "The enemy is approaching. Do we want to attack them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the enemy inside said, "What is the sound? I just heard someone whispering?"

Wang quickly "shushed" Xiaobai.

Xiaobai also raised his index finger and put it in front of his lips.

There was silence on the other side of the door for a few seconds, and then the duergar began talking again.

Voice 1: "Is it an illusion?"

Voice 2: "This ghost place will be haunted. Someone saw a colorful light group when he was most confused before changing the guard in the morning."

Voice 3: "Maybe it's the work of the aboleth."

Voice 2: "It might be some kind of weird thing."

Voice 1: "You idiot, aboleths are aberrations, that's what gnome taxonomists say!"

Wang looked at Xiang Franca.

Furus is also classified as an aberration, and is in the same category as the aboleth.

However, in "Gralia's Scenery" written by Wang's teacher, the teacher complained: "The reason why the classification of aberrations is all-inclusive is probably because the person who originally made the classification stuffed all the things that were difficult to classify into this classification Here. Later generations have implemented this principle. It’s the same with me. Things that are difficult to classify are all weird.”

Think about it carefully, how can the gentle and cheerful flying jellyfish be the same kind of creature as the ugly and huge aboleth?

While the king was looking at the flying jellyfish, the gray dwarf inside said: "Okay, after checking the mechanism on the door, let's go to the Horse Pee Bar for a drink!"

Wang was suddenly startled and turned to look at Gotrek.

Before he could speak, Gotrek understood what was happening and immediately opened the door and let out a war cry inside!

The barbarian's war cry can occasionally frighten enemies, especially during surprise attacks.

Wang also immediately finished casting the spell - he had already grabbed a handful of mica powder in his hand. The moment the barbarian opened the door, he threw the mica powder down the passage in the door and recited the incantation at the same time.

Glitter dust!
The barbarian was about to rush in, but was blinded by the glittering dust. However, the barbarian still strode in and beat the three gray dwarves hard by identifying their positions by listening to their voices.

Xiaobai was also stunned and shouted from the side: "Uh-huh! Why are you hiding from your own people?"

Wang: "I don't care about that anymore! Don't worry, Barbarian seems to have it figured out!"

Xiaobai: "Didn't he get flashed?"

Wang observed the barbarian beating several gray dwarves: "I...not sure."

Barbarian knocked down the last dwarf at this time, then stood there and started rubbing his eyes: "It flashed."

Flint rushed to the door at this time: "Didn't you notice? This guy Gotrick knows how to fight blindly. He obviously has no dark vision, but when I ambushed the capture team before, I could see clearly that his ax was There is no time to fail.”

Gotrick: "It's intuition."

Wang frowned: "The effect of intuition on blind fighting?"

Gotrick nodded.

Xiao Bai also recovered at this time. She looked at the three gray dwarves on the ground: "They... haven't changed like that?"

Wang: "Yes, according to what I just overheard, the things that can turn into monsters have bacteria implanted in their bodies. I'm not sure whether it's fungi or bacteria or something else. But implanting this kind of Something that lowers IQ. These guys didn’t have that implanted in them.”

Elizabeth groaned: "I think about it, it seems that there are some people in the cult who can't turn into monsters. For example, Erwin, the first member of the cult we met."

Wang: "You actually remember?"

"Of course I remember!" Elizabeth frowned and put her hands on her hips, "I'm stupid, but I'm not forgetful."

Why are you so proud?
The king looked at the three prisoners and said to Gotrick: "Get some water, let's wake one up and interrogate him. Just the one with the pattern on his armor!"

　(*) Whether glitter dust can be turned invisible and how to turn it invisible actually depends on the DM. Some DMs simply remove the invisibility to save trouble. This is also shown in many games.

　　In addition, Manzi clicked on Blind Fight. In fact, readers who are familiar with DND can also see that Manzi's level is almost as high as Marika by seeing this position in the book.

　　As for Manzi’s background story... I haven’t thought about it yet, let’s discuss it later!
