Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 537: full of traps

It has been a long time since I used the spell of bloodline imitation. I used this spell to deceive the bloodline trap a long time ago. Even the blood magician who specializes in bloodline secrets was deceived, and it should also make the Druid here dizzy.

However, this spell also has a disadvantage, that is, Siegel does not know what kind of bloodline he has been imitated into. However, he soon stopped worrying about this problem, because in addition to the defense line of the elf druids, other races' spells began to appear.

In the entanglement of tree roots, with a little attention, you can see some stones half buried in the soil. Moss, fallen leaves, and tree roots form a natural cover from the dwarven runes on the stone's surface. If it wasn't for a deep study of runes, it would be hard to notice the power of the spell spreading in the ground beneath your feet.

"What kind of rune formation is this?" Siegel crouched under a big tree and gently brushed the cover on the stone through deerskin gloves. The rune stone in front of it has experienced at least six hundred years of wind and rain, and except for the part where the rune is engraved, the rest is badly damaged. However, the power of the dwarf still made it bite the ground tightly, and even the trees that drilled out from the side couldn't overturn it. They could only fight like two wrestlers in a duel that could never be determined.

The runestone itself is not complicated, although in the already rare Old Dwarven language, it is only a few paragraphs of characters. "Listening, rhythm, earth, vibration", if it is connected in series, its function is easy to deduce: this is a rune array that detects the vibration of the ground, and if you want to go underground, it will inevitably be triggered.

Of course, the nesting behavior of some resident animals won't affect it too much, but the idea of ​​digging through with earth elemental guards is not feasible. The elves arranged the defense line on the ground, and the dwarves arranged the underground? Siegel pouted and was about to get up and leave, but found that there were words under the rune stone.

Yes, more than half of the stones are buried in the soil, and there should be words on the places covered by the soil. He gently pokes the soil, like a groundhog digs a hole. After removing the top layer of mulch about three fingers thick. The ground below becomes impossible to excavate.

Naturally, it can be dug with spells or adamantine items, but that will almost certainly trigger detect magic. Judging from the dozen or so runes revealed again, the dwarf rune stones can also detect footsteps on the ground to infer what is passing by. Different species have different paces. A shrewd hunter can judge his prey by lying on the ground and listening, and this principle is applied. In other words, it is not enough to have the smell (blood) of an animal, you need to walk in the same footstep pattern to do it?

That's a bit of a hassle, since Siegel doesn't have the knowledge and skills. Druids through long-term observation and imitation. It can perfectly reproduce the animal's posture when transforming, but the metamorphosis of the mages can only be similar in shape, and there is no expressiveness in terms of living habits. If you don't want to trigger the trap of detecting the pace, you can only move forward in the air.

So Siegel did just that, being careful not to touch the ground and the plants, but he soon discovered that it didn't work either.

The trees in the forest became denser, and the sunlight seldom leaked from the branches and leaves, so a thin layer of fog began to appear around. Like a veil and a ghost, it moves slowly and softly through the woods, but with such beauty there is a hidden danger. Siegel saw faint traces of elemental magic. Clearly human mage style.

The design of this layer of mist is very ingenious, and there is no formed magic circle in it, which means that casting detection magic will not show magical aura at all. The whole battle is a half-finished product, with many mutilated and broken spell structures floating in the air. But they are so mutilated that they can be reassembled into full spells once the right spell structure or elemental fluctuations are encountered.

It's like a puzzle, with one piece waiting for other pieces to come together. Siegel found that the targeted spells included flying, levitating, floating disc, flash, random door, and polymorph, and when these spells were around, the mist could sense it and send an alarm signal.

"A very smart way." Siegel stopped and stood there thinking of countermeasures. The mage who set this spell is slightly weaker than Siegel in elemental manipulation, so it's not without a chance. Siegel could tune in a breeze from afar to blow these mists far away. He has the ability to hide traces of the activity of the Qi element in the wind. Make it not touch any magic detection enchantment, but it is not safe to do so.

The anti-detection system of the entire forest is linked together, elves, dwarves and human mages assist each other, and even supervise and monitor each other. If Siegel hadn't learned the magic spells of the three races and was very sensitive to elemental energy, I'm afraid he would have been discovered before he got here.

Patrols aren't scary. Even if the other party is a master or a high priest, Siegel can handle it - and this possibility is too low, which high-level spellcaster will be doing nothing all day as a patrol here? The real trouble is the saint. If the magic alarm attracts patrollers, and the patroller finds that he can't solve it, and then calls for a higher-level saint, the situation will become very complicated.

The greatest ability of the saint is not to use it to attack, but to defend it without dying. With divine power, they can continually reshape their bodies, getting stronger each time, and continue their stalking. Under the entanglement of the saint, it would be difficult for Siegel to move forward, so he not only disturbed the gods, but also found nothing.

How should we move on? There are still several miles away from the Yari Valley. God knows how many kinds of magic detection and magic defense are ahead, and it will definitely become more and more dense. Even if Siegel shrouded himself in an anti-magic force field to suppress and avoid triggering any magic traps, he couldn't eliminate the vibration of his footsteps, the smell on his body, and the magic barrier of the entire forest.

"It seems that the only way is to let someone who is familiar with this place lead the way." Siegel thought about it and decided to ring the alarm bell on purpose. "On the one hand, you can also look at the situation of the guards here." So he withdrew a distance to the periphery and began to create earth elements.

Made because Siegel was concerned that the summoning spell would be seen. All incantations are traceable, and although convenient, there is no way to hide their provenance. Even if Siegel is a very clever user of elemental power, he can't avoid his summoning technique being identified by others. Manufacturing is another matter: in nature, elemental creatures are likely to be born in many places where the elements are dense, they are often not strong at first, and they will not exist for long unless the environment is extremely suitable, but the advantage is that they will not cause Suspect.

Just as fire elements are very likely to be born in volcanic lava, there is no shortage of water elements in the depths of the sea. It is not surprising that one or two small earth elementals have appeared in this woodland.

Siegel condensed the surrounding earth elemental forces and made them converge towards the middle, pressing them down like mud. It is not that the elements come together and the elemental creatures will appear, which also involves part of the knowledge of the elemental aggregates. Siegel is careful to take care of the gathering of the elements of the graph to obtain the environment, and from time to time other elements are mixed in, so that the elements can change in the direction of the creatures as soon as possible.

From morning to noon, until sunset, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is difficult to attract his attention. Even with sufficient knowledge and ability, making elemental creatures in such a primitive way is still a challenge. In this regard, Siegel has to sigh at the power of nature, and the magical ability he masters is really different from the creation of the world.

It is said that the most powerful God of Creation can intervene before the crystal wall is formed and change the rules of the world at his own will. That said, what are the rules, how are they presented, how can they be understood, and how can they be modified. It's a tough question, but Siegel has to start thinking. Another of his plans was to find the divine power of the magic god, which must include the power of spell rules. What can be done with that power, and what needs to be done, the span of knowledge is like an insurmountable chasm for Siegel, who is a mortal.

It was not until the starlight climbed into the sky, and the bright moonlight came to Siegel's shoulder along with the falling leaves, and he finally created an earth elemental creature shaped like a kitten~www.readwn.com~ It swayed and stood unsteady , the four calves swayed constantly, trying very reluctantly to adapt to the surrounding environment. Seeing it trying to stand, Siegel held onto it, but only helped when it was about to fall. After a few minutes, the earth element pressed Siegel's finger and gradually learned how to walk on the mulch formed by the fallen leaves.

It took a long time for such a small earth element to be able to dispatch the magic alarm array here, so Siegel cast a spell on it that would trigger periodically. After more than ten minutes, this spell will automatically cause a large accumulation of earth elements, and cover up the fact of its existence with an explosion that is harmless to earth elements. The high-speed and large-scale gathering and dispersing of elements is a typical feature of the ability of earth elements to release. If there are guardians here, they must come to check.

Can't avoid the magic circle of the entire forest, can't avoid the sight of a few patrollers? Siegel is adorned with earth element kittens from afar, and at the same time forms an element field around his body, just like a Druid can melt into the forest, he integrates himself into the magic circle of the forest.

At that time, the spell will be like flowing water, bypassing the rocky obstacles in the journey, forming a vortex only where it is needed. Siegel is a rock in a river, but the kind that is submerged under water and harder to detect.

He waited quietly to see who would take the bait first. (To be continued.)
