Twenty Sided Dice

Even with his vision, Siegel couldn't see the vent on the cliff.

"It was not formed by magic, but caught the flaws in the eyes so that people couldn't detect it." The dwarf pointed to his glasses: "This method can deceive most spells, and it is very clever. Only by using a variety of The lenses are constantly changing, so I can see some clues. But the vents are not big, I can barely get through, but it is difficult for your size to pass."

"I can shrink my height, it's not too difficult."

"If I were the one who arranged the defensive measures, I would have set up a spell to remove the transformation in the passage - you are likely to be trapped in the narrow passage." The dwarf said: "And Imoon is not here, and I don't know. Are there any other traps in the vents?"

"Maybe I don't have to go through the ventilation holes, I can dig in directly from the mountain wall." Siegel touched the mountain here, it is just an ordinary rock, and it will have no resistance in the face of the earth element.

"Can this mission be stormed?" the dwarf asked.

"better not."

"Then dig through the wall as a last resort. I've seen many dungeons, and there are many ways to prevent digging the wall, and it's impossible to guarantee that there won't be one here. The most trouble is that you can't know which one they used until you get inside. means."

Siegel nodded, Yawn's words made sense. He closed his eyes, put his hands on the mountain wall, and felt the magic fluctuations around him. Behind the layers of rocks, in the junction gap between the stone and the soil, the energy of the elemental enchantment is secretly transmitted. What is the spell?

The mage looked around, then picked a large rock that could be held in his hand, and smashed it **** the cliff. The vibration generated by the impact was transmitted to the mountain, changing the distance between the stones, and the magic circle changed slightly.

It doesn't try to resist or fix the change, it simply transmits the signal it causes. Sure enough, there is a magic circle to detect and excavate, and it is extremely sensitive. Even using the abilities of the Earth Elemental Rune Warrior, there is no guarantee that the signal here will not be triggered.

Occasional vibrations can also be regarded as accidents caused by falling rocks, but it takes time to dig through the rock wall, and it is easy to trigger the alarm frequently. No one will ignore such a signal.

"There's no good way to dig in," Siegel said. "Although I can create continuous waves far away from the cliff, or even hit the cliff with a small tsunami to cover the excavation, the risk is still too high."

"Don't worry. Think about it again." The dwarf said: "Even if the Magic Defense Array is very powerful, it is only a part of the system. After all, there are people in and out of Shaq Manor, and people who dress up as them can be regarded as an idea. ."

"That takes time to observe, learn, and imitate. Are you sure we have time?" Siegel stood on the reef, and the high tide water submerged his feet. He looked up at the cliff. The salty air around him made him feel like he was back on a ship.

"Jie, there must be other ways, don't worry." The dwarf said: "Although Naria is definitely not as good as you as a mage, she is still very good at cracking protective spells and spell traps. We can first Go back and learn about the information found by others, and then bring Naria over here."

"You're right." Siegel took a deep breath. He looked in the direction of the sea, stretched out his arms to embrace the vast sea, and reconnected his soul to the infinite space. Siegel had never heard her mother's call, and the sea was the closest thing to her. He stopped for a while. Gradually, I feel relaxed and my mind is much calmer.

"I like the sea. Although the vastness seems to be the same, it always surprises me." Siegel extended his hand to Yao En: "Let's climb up?"

"Okay, I can't climb up by myself."

The two of them turned and walked towards the cliff, and Siegel stopped after just two steps. He turned his head and looked at the reef-covered harbour, frowning tightly.

"What's the matter, Jay, have you found anything?"

"I'm not sure, come with me and see."

Siegel jumped from one reef to another. The slippery rocks overgrown with seaweed didn't seem to bother him. The dwarf was crooked, choosing his path very carefully. Some of the gaps between the reefs have been submerged by sea water, and he can't jump directly, so he has to choose a road that his short legs can pass. So it's a lot slower than Siegel. When he finally caught up with Siegel, the mage had been squatting in front of a rock for a long time.

Yao En was panting, his pants were all soaked, dripping with water. "Jie, carry me next time, I don't mind at all."

"Sorry. I was so focused just now that I forgot about it." Siegel snapped his fingers, and all the water on the dwarf's trousers drained immediately, and the clothes became dry and comfortable again. Then he pointed to the stone in front of him and said to Yao En: "Look, this stone is new. There is only a little seaweed on it, and no shellfish are attached. In my opinion, this stone has not existed on the coast for more than ten days. ."

The dwarf looked around and said, "There are several such stones around, it's not surprising."

"I know the sea very well. The reefs exposed by the high tide and the low tide are the easiest to attach algae and shellfish. This is not a restricted area for life, so there is only one possibility for this situation at present, and that is this rock. It's new."

"Who would make a reef? It's laborious and useless." When Yao En said this, he suddenly understood. "Is this the kind of stone that the glue monster in the Tin Woodman transformed into?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought," Siegel said. "It's a long way from the cliff, and unless they set up a trebuchet, the Glitter corpse can't be thrown that far. And you see, the rest of the There is no trace of damage on the rock. We have all seen glue monsters, which are sticky and heavy, and no one will walk over the reef with them and put them here. So the only possibility left is us. Underfoot, in the sea."

"You're right." Yao En said, "Since they can hide passages in the cliffs, why can't they do the same thing under the sea? There must be some kind of passage under the water, and it's near this new reef. Whatever caused the Glue Monster's death, there must be a place to dump the corpse."

"Wait for me here, I'll go underwater to see." Siegel patted Yao En's shoulder, tidied up his clothes, and prepared to go into the water.

"Wait, don't rush." ​​Yao En said, "The tide is rising now, and this reef will be submerged soon."

"Yes, so if you don't go down, the water will be too deep to see underwater."

"It's not because of this," the dwarf scratched his face, "I can't swim."

Siegel laughed twice, opened the space bag, and took out some ingredients for preparing medicines. He prepares some semi-finished formulas in his laboratory all year round, and it is very fast to process them when needed. The Potion of Water Breathing is a fairly common alchemical product that Siegel uses to find the slate that understands the writings of the Reader and Writer in the Lake of God's Tears.

The sea water at high tide was much turbid than the lake water, and with Yao En who couldn't swim, Siegel had to proceed carefully. He tied himself and Yao En's waist with a rope, otherwise the dwarf might be lost in a burst of water.

He took down the epee, turned it back into the shape of a defensive staff, and used its "immobility" feature as a support to control the direction underwater. Two men, one large and one small, walked between the reefs, rummaging through every corpse of gelatin that had just turned to rock, but found nothing. When the two were preparing to go ashore, a black thing floated over from the direction of the sea.

Yao En's mouth kept bubbling, and he forgot that he couldn't speak underwater. If it weren't for the water breathing potion, gnomes would have drowned countless times. Siegel brought him to the surface with his arms in his arms, and the two of them could see clearly that it turned out to be a mass of sticky glue wrapped in ice, advancing towards the coast under the impetus of the rising tide.

"Clever." Siegel said, "With the help of the buoyancy of the ice, throw it out when the gelatin has not yet solidified, and use the tide to do the porter's work. It seems that the garbage dump must continue to go deep into the sea. , let's move on."

They walked more than 300 meters into the sea. At this time, the sea water was already dozens of meters deep, and only weak light was left. The dwarf kept pointing to his ears, grinning in pain. He has no diving experience and naturally does not know how to relieve ear pressure. Siegel pinched his nose~www.readwn.com~ signaled him to breathe hard. Yao En tried it, then gave Siegel a thumbs up.

Because they were worried that the light spell would reveal their whereabouts, the two could only search slowly with the help of low light. Schools of fish swam around them, and some dared to come and kiss their bodies. Several large groupers lurking in the crevices thought the dwarf was some kind of fresh food and rushed over to try to bite him. Siegel slammed the defensive staff and hit it accurately, and a large grouper fell unconscious next to Yao En.

A lot of things around are dangerous to gnomes, and the toxin of the sea anemone will only be inconvenient for people of Siegel's size, but it will probably kill the gnome. Crabs, sea urchins, and the more dangerous jellyfish all seem to be interested in the "attachment" suspended beside Siegel. Several bigger fish also tried to take Yao En away.

In desperation, Siegel squeezed out a small bottle from the space bag, which contained the dark red dragon blood. He opened the bottle, and the surrounding fish immediately dispersed, and even the starfish moved their tentacles and tried their best to escape.

Yao En, who finally calmed down, gave a thumbs up again. (To be continued.)
