Chapter 354 Shadows in Shadows
The tavern is a place for adventurers to collect information, but the tavern is not suitable for collecting information about the players - the players don't have the habit of drinking and chatting in the tavern, not to mention that most of the Novice Village is in ruins, and there is no tavern at all.

If you want to get information from the player, the fishing spot by the river is the right choice.

After getting some information about the "special NPC" from casual players, Green decided to go to the "Shadow Labyrinth" outside the city to investigate and find out who the special NPC called "Red-faced Mage" by the players is.

But before setting off, Green had to make some preparations.

"I don't know how Mitchell's materials are being collected." Green rubbed his chin and glanced at the system time.

Before leaving the temple, Green gave Mitchell a material collection form and asked Mitchell to issue various material collection tasks to players.The numerical advantage of the players is there. Even if each person helps collect a magic material, it is enough to help Green collect the materials for a mage tower.

Of course, only "projection items" can be collected so far.However, since all the living things in this world are creatures with the characteristics of [Time Lost Child], the gap between "projected objects" and "real objects" is not too big.

Green was not in a hurry to return to the temple, but first went to the item store to buy a cheap cloak, put on a face scarf, disguised himself as a thief, and then wandered the streets with the "NPC protection halo".

According to Green, the "NPC protection halo" is an upgraded version of the player's "anti-crowding halo". Therefore, as long as you cover your face and control the size of the halo, you can easily blend in with the players.

Because of Michelle, the population base of Novice Village suddenly increased significantly.

Suddenly, Green felt a malicious sight!

[Mind Eyes] skill makes Green very sensitive to the sight of others.

After feeling the malice, Green's hairs stood on end, and he launched a quick slide in an instant!
Green panned for a distance in an instant, and then looked in the direction of the malicious transmission.

It was a relatively intact alley, and the damage to the residential houses on both sides of the alley was not too serious.And there is nothing in the alley...

"See through invisibility!" Green cast a see through invisibility on himself.

Still haven't seen anyone.

what happened?

Green looked around.The feeling just now has disappeared, it seems that everything is Green's illusion.

If you are an ordinary person, you might think that you are being overwhelmed.But Green knows his own skills very well, and he is also very clear about the effect of [Mind Eyes].So Green is very sure that this is definitely not an illusion!
but……

"Who would be malicious to me?" Green frowned involuntarily.

player?No, I'm not feuding with any players.

Those hostile NPCs?Impossible!I didn't feel any line of sight when I left the temple, and the enemy NPC had no reason to know my existence.

Green felt a little confused.

Green looked around.Most of the players are concentrated in the Resurrection Square and the church, and there are very few players on ordinary streets like this.

Green squinted, didn't enter the alley, but walked directly through, and then Green suddenly hid behind a wall post.

"Mysterious eyes!" Green covered his eyes and activated a spell.

----

Mystical Eye: A four-ring prophecy spell.Generates a magic eye within your field of vision to deliver visual information to you.The magic eye is invisible and can move at a speed of 2 meters/second. It must be concentrated or it will stop moving.

----

An invisible magic eye appeared in front of Green, and then flew into the alley under Green's control.

There was no one in the alley.

Green carefully recalled the direction of the line of sight before...

"The line of sight does not come from the ground, but... from a slightly higher place. Could it be that..."

The magic eye rose to a certain height and began to detect the houses and windows on both sides of the alley.

This novice village projected the situation when Karp Town was destroyed by the Shadow Demon King and just started to rebuild.All the scenery, NPCs and facilities are exactly the same as when Cap Town just started rebuilding!The details are even down to the gravel, leaves and dust on the ground.

As a town that was destroyed and is preparing to be rebuilt, although most of Kapu Town is in ruins, there are still some relatively complete buildings.

For example, the buildings on both sides of the alley in front of me are not ruins, but some well-preserved residential buildings.If Green remembers correctly, most of the residential buildings on both sides are the residences of "refugee NPCs".

Unless the favorability reaches a certain level, the player cannot enter the NPC's home, but if the previous line of sight comes from "True Time Lost", then these buildings will not only not become his hindrance, but will become his protection.

In order not to reveal his identity as a "True Time Loser", Green did not let the Mystic Eye enter those houses, but only wandered outside the houses.

"Found it!" Green found a window that was opened a crack and saw an eye.

When Green saw those eyes, those eyes seemed to sense something too.

That eye glanced at the location of the magic sensor, and it flashed past...

Green couldn't see the opponent's appearance clearly. The only thing he could be sure of was that the opponent was wrapped in black cloth.

"It's a thief!" Green looked at the residential building where the window was located, and his pupils shrank slightly, "And this building is inaccessible to players!!"

Green recalled the information Mitchell had given him, and suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.

"It's the assassin of the Lord of Shadows! He's actually been ambush in the town, but the players don't know it."

Assassin of the Lord of Shadows?

Green looked around.This kind of streets and alleys is the most suitable place for assassins to play, and mages can't give full play to their long-range advantages in this kind of place.

Green thought for a while, and decisively put a few layers of protective spells on himself, then left a magic perception body in place, and sprinkled some appearance powder on the ground.Then left a Mona to supervise the powder on the ground.

"Mona?" Mona looked at Green blankly.

Green gave Mona an order, then disguised it with illusion, and hid it in a corner.

……

After going around in a circle, Green quietly came to the ruins across the alley, and lay in ambush behind a wall.

This is a ruined wall. As long as Green stands up, he can see the alley opposite from the top of the wall.

Green took out the staff from the system backpack, and began to cast spells...

"Mirror Technique!"

Green left a mirror image of himself in place, and the mirror image looked like Green was in ambush there.As long as the mirror image is not touched, it can exist for a long time.

But just saying that is not enough.

"Triggering Technique·Mirror Image Technique!" Green once again cast a Mirror Image Technique that required specific conditions to be triggered.

----

Trigger: Six-ring evocation spell.Causes a spell that affects a person and has a level of no higher than the trigger level to trigger under certain conditions.

----

Green can activate this trigger remotely at any time, causing the mirror image to change.When the spell is activated, the mirror image changes from sitting on the ground in an ambush position to standing up and attacking.

Afterwards, Green arranged a little bit next to the mirror image, leaving a Mona in charge of guarding, and then quietly left the wall along the path he had come over before.

Finally, Green dug a hole not far from the wall and buried himself in the ground, disguised as an ordinary pile of rubble.

This is a very simple bait within a bait.The followers of the Lord of Shadows are a group of cunning guys, so the first trap must not be able to fool them, so the second trap is the real trap.

Green lay prone in the trap and began to continue preparations.

"Triggering Technique: Otiluk's Magical Sealing Sphere!"

----

Otiluk's Magic Sealed Spell: A four-ring evocation spell.A ball of force field with a radius of 1 meter centered on the object protects the creature from any harm and also traps him so that the force field cannot move.Can be destroyed by dispel magic/disintegration/scepter of obliteration/scepter of negation.

----

At level 10, Green chose [Spell Mastery·Trigger], so Green can now chain up to 4 spells!Green chained Otiluk's magic sealing ball with the trigger technique. Once he casts the fireball with his wand, the magic sealing ball will be automatically cast on himself.

The magic sealing ball is a very powerful spell with extremely high versatility. It can be used to trap enemies, or it can be used as a small invincible.

Since the enemy is likely to be a master-level assassin, Green doesn't have much confidence that he can kill the opponent in seconds, so Green uses the magic sealing ball as a small invincible at this time to offset the enemy's counterattack.

After everything was ready, Green closed his eyes and quietly waited for the fish to take the bait...

It's a contest of patience.

An hour has passed.

The magical perception body left by Green has disappeared.

Two hours have passed.

Still no response from outside.

Four hours passed.

It was already starting to darken.

"The fish has left?" Green looked at the sky and frowned slightly.

No!Keep waiting.

The other party is likely to be an assassin, and night is the assassin's home field.If I were an assassin, I wouldn't come out until night.

The traps set will not be refreshed until 24 hours later, I still have time!Even if I guess wrong, it's just a waste of a day.

As a fisherman, Green has enough patience and the courage to bear the "bait off".

Green lay on the ground, took out a sandwich from the system pocket, and ate it slowly, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Soon after, night fell...

"Mona!!!"

Sudden!Mona's voice sounded in the alley.

coming!

Green instantly activated the mirror image trigger.

In an instant, the mirror image that was originally sitting on the ground suddenly stood up and assumed a spellcasting pose...

However, at this moment, suddenly, a black shadow appeared behind the mirror image.

Green stretched out his staff from the pile of rocks without hesitation: "Multi-casting · instant · fireball!"

In an instant, three huge red missiles hit Green's mirror image, including the figure at the same time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Like a nuclear bomb explosion, a small mushroom cloud rose up, and the scorching flames even turned the earth into a piece of glazed glass.

A ball-shaped magic ball enveloped Green, and the oncoming shock wave and gravel made the magic-sealed magic ball crackle.

Green glanced nervously at the system prompt.

Green's fireball level follows the mage level.Today, Green's fireball skill level is as high as level 9, even the earth knight can't withstand such damage!However, this does not rule out the possibility that the opponent has advanced fire resistance equipment.

There is no prompt.

The enemy is not dead yet! ?

Green poured a bottle of medicine into his stomach without hesitation, and then applied a detection life to himself.

At the same time, a dagger flew from a distance, nailed the magic sealing ball, and then fell to the ground.The protective effect of the magic sealing ball is space-level. In addition to targeted dispel spells, only spells that can destroy space can destroy the magic sealing ball.

Immediately afterwards, Green saw a figure running away in embarrassment in the distance.Seeing the opponent's embarrassment, Green understood that the opponent's resistance was not enough to completely resist his own spell power.

As long as it is not completely resisted, it will be easy to handle.

Green raised his staff: "Multiple Casting Fireball!"

After a short spell, the magic-sealed ball surrounding Green suddenly disappeared. At the same time, three fireballs were shot out...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After throwing the fireball, Green took another potion and quickly put on a shield for himself.

"Drip, kill special creatures, legendary casting level +1, magic shooter level up, get legendary job: Guardian of Time"

Looking at the system prompt, Green finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? It's actually a direct reward level? I didn't expect what Mitchell said to be true."

Just by killing a target, the gold level will be directly raised by one level. Is there any faster leveling speed in the world?
After confirming that he had successfully killed the target, Green looked around.

The movement just now was so loud that it seemed to alarm many players.

Green was about to run away, but at this moment, Green noticed a golden thing in the flames...

In an instant, Green knew what was going on.

"Boss exploded with equipment!?" Green decisively braved the heat wave, rushed over, and picked up the thing that exploded.

It turned out to be a golden quality boot!

developed.

Green stuffed the exploded equipment into the system backpack...it couldn't fit in!
"Huh?" Green was stunned for a second, carefully observing the boots in his hand, "This is not projection equipment, but a real treasure?"

Boots of Shadow (Epic)
Special effect: Causal · Assault in the Shadow (Release all control states on the body, enter the shadow, and immediately come out of another shadow. This behavior is like using the shadow plane to teleport, but it will not be affected by the space anchor/space lock and other transmission restriction effects.)
Special Effects: Concept Shadow Follows (Even in a world that is not connected to the Shadow Plane, you can still activate those abilities/spells that need to be connected to the Shadow Plane.)
Description: The Phantom Assassin can only fight in a world connected to the Shadow Plane, but with the grace of the Lord of Shadows, Tim can still use the various abilities of the Phantom Assassin even in a world not connected to the Shadow Plane.

----

good stuff!
The Phantom Assassin’s artifact!
But even if there is such an artifact, if there is no shadow under your feet to use, it is useless.

Under Green's fireballs, the large amount of flames made it impossible for the phantom assassin to find a shadow to use - an assassin in the shadows is invincible, but once exposed to the sun, he will become the most vulnerable profession.
