mage's dating rules

Chapter 44 The Confluence of Two Investigators
Wang originally wanted to go to the Wanderer's Guild, but the sound of his footsteps missed him as soon as he took a step, so he could only run wildly by stealth.

The throwing knife that followed his footsteps almost hit him.If he hadn't staggered by chance, his upper body might have been covered with throwing knives.

This kind of tension that the heart is about to jump out of the throat is something I have never experienced before.

As a prophecy mage, Wang is calm and stable most of the time, and he is calm when changing. This passing death broke this calmness.

"That's why the teacher repeatedly emphasized that you must experience the danger yourself. Sure enough, it's different from fighting in the mage's tower." He thought so.

After entering the sewer, Wang found that the goblins and kobolds had almost run away, and the entire sewer was empty.

He originally wanted to take out the artifact scepter to see if he could call another goblin or something to be his bodyguard to lead the way, but as soon as he took out the scepter from the dimension bag, the light from the head of the scepter illuminated the entire sewer like daylight.

The high level of invisibility on Wang has not disappeared, and the whole situation will become very strange when he takes out the scepter: the whole tunnel is illuminated by the light that cannot see the light source at all.

What's the point of running? Just follow the light chase.

After putting away the scepter, Wang fumbled in the dimension bag, and found that he did not prepare the scroll of dark vision.

"It's over. One hundred secrets and one sparse."

Just as he muttered like this, a wanderer behind him sneaked out.Wang found him. This group of wanderers didn't chase out quickly just now. It turned out that they were afraid of being cheated, so they sneaked over bit by bit.

It is estimated that this rogue is also checking the traps along the way to prevent the escaped people from leaving magic symbols and the like.

After Wang entered the sewer, he had been trying to solve the lighting problem, so he walked slowly, and now he was only about thirty steps away from the wanderer.

——It's not impossible to escape...

As soon as he thought this, the rogue crouched down and began to examine the footprints on the ground.

"Adult male, about 1.8 meters tall, not heavy, with a high probability of being a spellcaster." The wanderer reported, "It didn't go far."

Wang's scalp is numb, can he really have to die today and return to the mage's tower?But I just picked up the first artifact!Haven't used it yet!

and--

Elizabeth's face flashed through the mage's mind, then Flint, Michaela, and Gotrick.

His chest felt tight again. Although we had only known each other for three days, what we had experienced in these three days had already made us friends.

I don't want the adventure to end like this.

It's not a question of whether to die, death isn't scary, what's scary is parting from new friends - and possibly forever.

Wang hated that his efforts were in vain. This is a friend he made with great difficulty.

He touched the spell-casting material package.

He only knows that the artifact he just got will be proficient in the language of goblins and kobolds temporarily after holding it. The other functions have not been carefully identified, and he has no idea what it can do—oh yes, it can emit light, and this is known without identification.

Wang silently touched the spell-casting material bag.

If it's just a rogue, it's easy to solve.

Just thinking this way, four wanderers appeared in the field of vision.

One of the rogues sniffled and said, "I smell the mage, he's nearby, not far away."

Wang frowned, as if everything was going against his plan today.Because of their specialization ability, the mages of the School of Prophecy always tend to take action after formulating a complete plan. Today's plan has not been able to keep up with the changes.

But it's not that there is no way to break the game. 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 rogues can perceive the king's location through other means, conversely speaking, they can also mislead them by making sounds.

A plan gradually took shape in Wang's head——

At this moment, a halfling suddenly popped out of nowhere.

"Let me ask a question, Mr. Mage who is lurking here with the invisibility technique, are you the culprit in the disappearance of cats and dogs?"

Wang looked at the halfling suspiciously, and he confirmed almost immediately that the halfling didn't know where he was. He just heard the voice, combined with the words of the wanderers, and made such a judgment.

As for why halflings suddenly appeared, this is actually not surprising, halflings are generally outstanding stalkers and thieves.

The only thing Wang couldn't figure out was the ears on the top of the halfling's head—it looked a bit like Misha Sarah's ears, but this guy didn't have fur on his body, and his skin was smooth and clean like a human.And Misha Sara's ears have lines, and its ears are pure white.

In addition to the ears, the halfling has long, shaggy hair that looks like it's wearing a pure white fur hood.

The rogue cursed, "Damn it, where did the werewolf come from?"

"Catch him and send him to the arena. Werewolves are rare! Especially female werewolves!"

Wang was shocked when he heard this sentence, and carefully confirmed this person's secondary sexual characteristics again.

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 it!"

The king remembered that Misha Sarah said that the association of the druids in this city seemed to be called Green Field.

If there is only one faction in this city that will not join forces with Erwin, it is the green field of the druids.Druids hated all unnatural things. In the eyes of Druids who worshiped nature, what Erwin did was all blasphemy.

Mishasara also said that the Druids also discovered the disappearance of cats and dogs and are investigating, but they rely on wild cats and dogs to search for information. The disappearance of cats and dogs will directly cut down their intelligence capabilities.

I didn't expect to meet a druid investigating this matter here!

And she was obviously going to fight with people from the Wanderer's Guild——and Tang's men!

He's still a werewolf!
Werewolves are a rarer race than catmen, dwarves, and ratmen!

Now I have to help.

The king made up his mind to take action. Although Druid is not on his side at the moment, he already has an idea!
He took out the rotten egg from the spell-casting material bag, chanted the spell in a throwing posture, and threw the egg out.

The enemy rogues reacted quickly and threw throwing knives directly to smash the rotten eggs in the air. However, a purple stinky cloud still formed at the place where the eggs were scheduled to fall, covering all the rogues!
Immediately, two wanderers vomited violently.Even guild members who are used to living in the dirty and stinking underground cannot fully get used to this horrible stench. There are even theories that the stench caused by the stinking cloud technique can be classified as a mental attack! (*)

The rest of the thieves who resisted the stench threw throwing knives in Wang's direction!

Although these throwing knives came following the sound, one of them still pierced Wang's left shoulder.Wang used all his control power to not call out - if he made a sound, he would definitely be attacked by more throwing knives.

Wang looked at the druid, only to find her lying on the ground throwing up.

——Why, my spell didn't cover her?
"This smell is horrible, I hate the stinky cloud technique!" Druid struggled while vomiting.

Not covered by a stinky cloud but starting to vomit?
When Wang was shocked, all the wanderers couldn't hold back the stinking cloud and began to vomit.

The experienced rogue struggled to climb out of range, upwind, and waited for the stomach cramps to recover.

Wang decided to use the housekeeping spell prepared today.

He took out a small ball made of bat guano and sulfur from the spell-casting material bag.

Experienced adventurers will know what the mage is going to do when they see this thing in the mage's hand.If this mage is a hostile mage, they will definitely try their best to stop him.

But Wang is now in an invisible state.

Although the knife wound on his shoulder seriously interfered with his spellcasting, the rigorous training in the mage's tower paid off.

He uttered the incantation, and at the same time threw the dung ball in his hand at the enemy-

The dung ball turned into a washbasin-sized fireball in mid-air, and flew towards the rogues who had just escaped from the stinking cloud with a low hissing sound.

Some rogues saw the fireball and hurriedly rolled to the side, only to find that they couldn't escape the range of the explosion!

A witty wanderer wanted to jump into the nearby Stinky River, but because of nausea, his feet slipped and his hips hit the river bank.

The fireball hit the ground.

The shock wave from the violent explosion swept across the entire channel.

Immediately afterwards, the methane gas in the sewer was detonated, and a more violent explosion occurred!
Both Wang 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, so he still has some weight, so he kept rolling on the ground, and the petite werewolf bounced on the ground like a ball, with a howl every time: "Aw! Ah! Hey! Hey!"

At the moment when the werewolf was about to roll by, Wang reached out and grabbed her by the tail.

"Uh ah ah!"

The druid turned into a brown bear in a blink of an eye, and slapped him over.

Wang: "I know who is kidnapping cats and dogs!"

The brown bear's slap stopped only a centimeter away from Wang's head, and the strong wind swept across his cheeks.

The druid changes back to normal.The transformation just now has released Wang's grip on her tail.

Unknown Werewolf Druid: "Can you show up before you speak?"

+ + + + +
(*) Explanation time, I have always had a lot of opinions on the spell of stinking cloud. First of all, its effect is very good. If the enemies within the range fail to pass the save, they will get an effect called "nausea". After obtaining this effect, You can only move, you can't attack, you can't cast spells, you can't use props.

What I have a problem with is that I don't understand why nausea can make people unable to attack - it's understandable that they can't cast spells, after all, casting spells requires concentration.

Why can't you slash people with a knife when you feel nauseated?

So this time the effect of the stinking cloud technique was changed so that it would cause people to vomit.

The druid finally appeared. Although the tieflin druid is also very cute, the character of the girl in the movie is honestly not that prominent.I'm a person who can't create something I haven't seen. If I write Tieflin Druid, I will have no reference and not be brilliant.

So I pinched a werewolf short winter melon.By the way, it seems that there are no werewolves in DND's extended rules, only jackals.But look, mantis people can have them, why can't there be werewolves?I just want the white-haired cat-eared druid girl of the vitality system!

Finally, just like in the movie, the druid in this book also removes the limit on the number of transformations per day, and can change at will.Therefore, the Druids in this book can also do acrobatics like in the movie.
