Chapter 444 Magic Rope (Ⅰ)

Joan flew for about 10 minutes, and landed quietly in a secluded alley in the commercial area of ​​Port Leiden. He canceled his invisibility and returned to human form. He first went to Yangbo Firm to buy two packs of cold iron bullets for Rebecca and Ah Zhi, and bid farewell to Javier. Hurry up to the Red Tomato Tavern, sir.

Joan first performed the 1st ring "Disguise Technique" and turned into an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. Afterwards, he walked into the bustling tavern and handed the note written in advance to the tavern owner who was busy behind the bar, asking him to pass it on to Idar.

"Idar? Thinking about it, he is indeed a frequent visitor here. I come here almost every night to inquire if there is any letter from him, and have a drink by the way."

"Please pass this note to Mr. Idar, please."

Joan took out three gold coins and put them on the bar counter together with the note, which was regarded as hard work for the tavern owner.

"No problem, I promise to deliver it in time." The tavern owner took the money with a warm smile on his face, "If Mr. Idar asks who left him the letter, how should I answer?"

"There's no need to know my name. Mr. Idar doesn't care who I am. What he cares about is the content of the note."

After leaving this sentence, Joan turned and left the tavern.

The tavern owner watched his back disappear outside the door, couldn't hold back his curiosity and opened the paper folded into a rectangular shape, only to find that there was only one sentence on it:

"I want to know the whereabouts of the meteorite in Beaver Village. Before sunset tomorrow, come to the 'Wrangler Valley' to meet and discuss in detail under the old banyan tree. I won't wait until the time passes."

There was no signature, seal or other emblems. The tavern owner shook his head blankly, and casually put the note in the account book, no longer thinking about this trivial matter that has nothing to do with him.

...

"Wrangler Valley" is located near Chap's farm. There is a big banyan tree with luxuriant branches growing in the valley. It is a well-known sightseeing spot in the suburbs of Leiden Port.

In midsummer, wealthy families in the city would occasionally drive to the valley and spread out a snow-white tablecloth for a picnic under the banyan tree to enjoy the shade.

Now it is the beginning of October, the weather has turned cooler, the leaves are turning yellow, and the Wrangler Valley has become less visited.

When Joan returned to the farm, a whole roast sheep was already on the dining table, waiting for him to come back for dinner.

Joan distributed the purchased cold iron bullets to Rebecca and Ah Zhi, and explained his plan in detail by the way.

"Let's eat quickly, take time to rest after dinner, and have to get up after midnight at the latest, prepare the spells that should be prepared, and gather in the Wrangler Valley later."

"Didn't we make an appointment to meet before sunset tomorrow? Why did you wait before dawn?" Ah Zhi asked in surprise.

"Stupid mouse! No one knows when 'Idar' will receive the note from Joanne. If he receives the note tonight and is cautious enough, he will probably rush to the date place ahead of time to spy secretly, or even set up a Falling into the trap, if we don’t make full preparations before him, we will fall into a passive position!”

Xiao Miao analyzed with a serious face.

"Sister Meow is right, so we have to go to the appointment place as soon as possible and hide, and when the shepherd shows up, we will attack with all our strength!" Thomas geared up.

"The general principle is like this. Is there anything else you want to add?" Joan asked.

"To be on the safe side, why don't we set off after dinner and spend the night in the valley, so as not to be driven ahead by the shepherds." Edward said cautiously.

"I can tolerate mosquito bites, but I'm afraid I can't sleep well when camping in the wild. If it affects my spell preparation tomorrow, I will be in trouble." Thomas looked sad.

"So what we need most right now is a hiding place that is safe enough, hidden enough, and as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find a place that meets these conditions in the wilderness." Xiaomiao said thoughtfully.

"I have a way." Martin picked up the napkin, wiped the suet on his hands, and looked up at Joan and the others, "Have you ever heard of a 2-level spell called 'Magic Rope'. "

"Magic Rope?" Joan frowned, feeling somewhat impressed by the name of the spell, "This seems to be a very unpopular spell, the caster can climb into a small half-plane equivalent to a different dimension space along a rope ..."

"It is indeed an unpopular spell that is rarely used, but it just meets our current needs." Martin said confidently.

"Mr. Smith, can you tell us in detail how this spell can help us?" Rebecca asked curiously.

"This has to start with the special function of the 'Magic Rope'. As Joan just described, this spell is applied to a rope that is strong enough, and one end of the rope will connect to a world that is parallel to the world we live in." A different dimension, also known as a 'half plane'."

"The demiplane created by the 'Magic Rope Technique' is not that big, but it is enough to accommodate eight people. Counting me, there are exactly eight people sitting here."

Martin smiled, and went on:

"The demiplane created by the 'Magic Rope' is invisible to outside creatures. Most spells, including the divination spells used to detect invisibility, cannot affect this small space. We who are hiding in it can observe the movement of the outside world through a small window."

"I see. You're trying to use 'Magic Rope' to create a makeshift camp where we can hide for a long night until 'Shepherd' and Brother Jack come to the appointment and surprise us with an ambush." Edward analyzed along Martin's train of thought.

"This sounds good, but from tonight to tomorrow's sunset, the time span is nearly 20 hours. Can the demiplane created by the 'Magic Rope' exist for such a long time?" Thomas questioned.

"'Magic Rope' is a 2nd-level spell. With my current casting ability, the 'half-plane' created lasts for 5 hours at most, but with the help of the super magic skill 'Spell Delay', it can be upgraded to 3 The duration of the ring spell can be doubled to 10 hours."

Martin scratched his head, and then said: "I will perform the 'Delayed Magic Rope' tonight, and then I will sleep in the demiplane, and I can perform the 'Delayed Magic Rope' again tomorrow after resetting the spell slot." , add up to exactly 20 hours in total, what do you think?"

"It's really troublesome..." Xiao Miao complained in a low voice.

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm not an arcane genius like Joan, Thomas, and Edward. My spell slots are limited, so I have to plan carefully." Martin spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"You are the only one among all of us who can cast 3rd-level arcane spells. It is better to use the precious 3rd-level spell slots to prepare powerful and lethal spells such as 'Fireball' or 'Lightning Beam', 'Magic Rope' The spell' can be released with a scroll."

Edward said cautiously.
