[comprehensive] fake magician

The flickering flame in the fireplace gradually died out, but the warmth of the embers still surrounded the four men who had fallen asleep there.Since there are no visitors to Beorn's house all year round, there is only one guest room in the house, which is still lived by Aliredne.

But in the middle of the night, Aliredne came out of her room carefully, gently pushed Cobb awake, called him outside, and Saito, who was not asleep, got up and left.After they were all out, Clint walked quietly to the door and listened carefully to what they were saying.

It turned out that among the four people, only Kevin was really asleep. Because the medicinal herbs that King Elrond gave him for healing also had the effect of calming the nerves, he slept very deeply, completely unaware that there was nothing around him.

The arguing voices of the only three remaining members of the Dream Pirates passed through the crack of the door along the cool summer night wind, and Clint heard them clearly:

"Cobb, admit it, all of this is too real, it's not a dream at all," Ali Rudney said excitedly, "at least it's not a pure dream."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Cobb rested his hand on his chin, but he had already noticed something was wrong.He once tried to spin Mel's top, which was his totem, but the top didn't spin forever like in the dream, nor did it stop for a while like in reality, because the top couldn't spin at all!There seems to be an invisible hand controlling it.

"We have to tell them the truth, and then find a way to get back to reality," Aliredne insisted.

"Cobb, have you ever been to such a world where reality and illusion coexist?" Saito said suddenly.

"What?" Cobb glanced at Saito suspiciously.

"I think this should be the dream of a dream thief like you," Saito said slowly and in an appetizing tone.

"Saito!" Ali Redne was a little annoyed, "Arthur and Eames are still in danger, we can no longer risk other people's lives."

"Ariel Rednee, can you feel Arthur and Eames?" Cobb asked suddenly.He knew that Aliredne's talent for controlling dreams was far superior to his, and she had now reached the level of being able to tell which level of dreams other people were in.

"I can feel that they are still on the first floor, but..." Aliredne put her hands on her head, and after seeing some blurred images, she suddenly felt dizzy.

"Since you can still feel them, it means that they are still alive, or that they have not fallen into the chaotic space." Cobb interrupted Aliredne, and Saito's words really moved him, "Maybe your worry is extra."

"Cobb, you don't understand." Aliredne's expression became more and more serious, "Because of this, we don't even know if there is a chaotic space in this dream. Maybe we die in the dream and wake up forever But come."

"Ali Rednee, you know it. The sedative is very powerful. We won't wake up if we don't stimulate the two layers of dreams at the same time, but now there is no one to cooperate with us in the first layer of dreams. So, we have to continue Go to the next floor, or stay here and wait for the effect of the medicine to pass and wake up naturally," Cobb said, clasping his hands.

"Then stay here!" Aliredney said, biting her lower lip.

Cobb shook his head, "But it's not safe here, why don't we take a gamble and go to the next floor together? The mission is completed after getting the Rubik's Cube, and everyone is happy."

"I agree," Saito said with a stern smile, "Alien, I believe that you are not a person who is greedy for life and fear of death like Yusuf, and he also chose to stay on the first floor. scolded him."

"Of course I'm not Yusuf!" Aliredne was extremely angry. "I didn't abandon them. I broke through the maze and came here just to find them and be responsible for them."

"Then be responsible to the end and send them home!" Saito insisted on his opinion.

The Inception members were still arguing, but Clint couldn't listen anymore.He glanced back at Kevin who was sleeping soundly, feeling a little worried in his heart.If he is really in danger, he is willing to protect him with his life.

The morning sun made the wooden house smell fragrant. The skin-changer Beorn got up very early and carefully prepared cheese and mead to entertain the guests. It's a meal.

At the dinner table, Cobb and Saito pretended nothing happened, and they were still talking and laughing happily. Aliredne kept her eyes red and was unwilling to talk to them.Clint didn't show any worry, but Kevin had sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and while drinking mead, he listened carefully to their conversation.

"Are you sure you want to enter Mirkwood?" Beorn asked worriedly.

"Yes, we still have companions inside," Clint replied without the slightest hesitation.

"I will escort you to the edge of the dense forest, and the rest of the road is up to you," Bion sighed, "No matter what happens, you must stay on the trail."

Everyone nodded earnestly. After enjoying breakfast, they mounted their horses and headed towards the Mirkwood under the leadership of the giant bear that Beorn had turned into.

When they arrived at the destination, because the trees in the woodland grew too densely, they had to entrust all the tall horses to Beorn, leaving only Cobb's short-footed horse, which was responsible for carrying all the food and water. .

Maybe it was because of the darkness in the dense forest, or maybe it was because of those weird rustling noises, once they entered the woodland, they felt a great sense of oppression.

"Clint, lend me a sword," Aliredne whispered.

"But you don't know swordsmanship!" Clint frowned.

"I don't need to be good at swordsmanship, I just need to be able to hold it," Aliredney said, gesturing with her hand.

"Okay," Clint untied the two swords, handed one to Aliredne, and threw the other to Saito.

"Clint, you are biased, I can't be worse than Ali Rednee," Kevin clasped his hands and complained.

"It looks pretty much the same to me," Clint joked. "When you were in Budapest..."

Kevin coughed dryly. He didn't want Clint to tell others about his abuse in Budapest. It's all black history.

"I just don't want you tearing open that wound on your shoulder," Clint gave Kevin a tender look.

Kevin felt a sudden warmth in his heart and smiled at Clint.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge spider web between two towering trees blocked their way.

"Do we have to go from here?" Aliredne felt chills and creeps down her spine. What she was most afraid of were spiders. Besides, such a large web didn't seem to be used to catch insects.

"Bion told us that we must follow the path, otherwise we will lose our way." Clint took the sword from Aliredne and cut off the spider web.

But the spider webs in the dense forest were connected one by one, and the tremor caused by the breaking of the web just now was quickly transmitted to the lairs of the evil creatures from Dol Guldur.

"Wait, there seems to be something", Kevin noticed some strange water droplets falling around them.

"Ah!" Aliredne screamed, she raised her head along the water droplets, just in time to see a huge spider above her head with its silk hanging, attacking her with its teeth and claws, those water droplets were its saliva.

Aliredne was stunned, and was pushed away by Kevin beside her, so she was not directly stabbed by the spider.Clint, who was walking in the front to open the way, quickly turned around and stabbed the sword fiercely into the spider's bright green compound eyes. It struggled frantically, but Clint's sword pierced deeper and deeper, and it soon stopped. Moved.

"It's not over yet!" Ali Rudney, who was sitting on the ground, said in a trembling voice.

Countless bright green eyes appeared in the bushes on all sides, staring at them like ghosts. I don't know how many spiders are entrenched on the branches, ready to attack at any time.

"My God!" At the end of the walk, Cobb pulled out his dagger from his riding boots and protected the panicked pony.Saito raised his sword calmly, except for Clint in the team, his swordsmanship was the best.

Clint was about to use the bow and arrow. He handed the sword to Kevin, but Kevin didn't reach out to take it. Aliredne hesitated for a second, and took the sword in her hand.Only then did Clint notice that Kevin's eyes had turned a different color, and he was casting a spell.

Kevin combined the two elements of ice and thunder, and used magic to condense into a strong hurricane, blowing towards the direction where the spiders are most dense.The wind blew the spiders and their dense webs into the sky.They hovered helplessly high in the air, then fell hard to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Spiders from other directions took advantage of the opportunity to attack, Clint quickly grabbed an arrow and fully drew the bowstring.The moment the arrow was released from his hand, he suddenly found that the arrow was flashing blue light, and the spider that was shot was quickly frozen into ice. He turned his head and saw Kevin smiling at him. The arrow has the effect of frost magic.

Saito also cut off eight legs of a giant spider in the struggle, and then split it in half.Aliredne slashed at a slightly smaller spider, but failed to hit the vital point. Cobb finally killed the spider with a dagger.

With the tacit cooperation of the five people, most of the spiders were eliminated, and the remaining spiders fled to the northwest. Maybe that was their old nest, but they did not chase after them.

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, in that direction, there was a hissing sound of a giant spider being killed.

"There are other things in the jungle," Clint quickly tensed the bowstring.

"Kevin, quickly clean them up with magic," Cobb shouted excitedly.

"Sorry, the magic hasn't fully recovered yet," Kevin shrugged a little embarrassedly, the little magic he had left was only enough to throw two fireballs.

"It's really bad news," said Saito's low sigh from behind.

The five of them formed a circle back to back, but what appeared in front of them was not a more terrifying monster, but a group of wood elves holding bows and arrows, and a familiar beautiful figure.

"Natasha!" Clint yelled happily.

I saw Natasha wearing a black cloak, holding two short knives in her hands, and a spider fang pinned to her waist. She looked more capable than when she was in S.H.I.E.L.D.She was about to go up to say hello, but was guarded by a handsome blond elf.
