Chapter 217: Running Away Is Victory
The flying spell used by this elven magic saint is a high-level flying magic called Wings of Wind. This magic can almost allow the user to fly freely in the air like a bird, and its mobility is even better than many others. The ability of birds to fly. If there is any flaw, it is that this is a magic after all, and the speed of mana consumption is much faster than the speed of stamina consumption. Many birds can fly in the sky for several hours without landing, and some that are good at gliding can even fly continuously for more than ten hours without stopping. However, this Wing of Wind is more exaggerated. An ordinary magician can last for twenty minutes at most, a more powerful magician can last for half an hour, and a magician can only last about an hour. If you are highly proficient, you can last for an hour and twenty minutes. However, compared with the flight capabilities of birds, this time in the air is still too short.
In fact, in addition to the high mana consumption, this spell also has a more serious problem, which is that the preparation time is a little long. The Dharma Saint just added the Feather Falling Technique to himself and the Sword Master at the same time, and then he began to prepare the Wings of Wind for himself. On time, the Sword Master activated his skills in advance and began to move in the air, and the Dharma Saint because of The spell hasn't been activated yet, so it continues to fall. The Feather Falling Technique only slows down the falling speed and does not really stop people from falling. Therefore, because the preparation time of the spell is a little longer, by the time I finish the Sword Master here, the Magic Saint has already fallen below. went.
While I was swooping down, the Dharma Saint here had also completed his Wind Wings and gained the ability to fly. Compared with controlling his own body movement, it is much easier to use the Wind Wings to control the direction, so even if the speed Even as he sped up, this guy's athletic ability didn't drop significantly, at least he was much better than that Sword Master.
However, although this person's aerial mobility was pretty good, it was a pity that he ran into me. After all, Wings of Wind is just a flying spell, and is still a little weak compared to wings. Besides, my flying ability is actually better than that of most birds. No matter how powerful his wind wings are, he can't be better than me.
I discovered the Dharma Saint, and the other party naturally discovered me. See me swooping down. This man immediately cast a protective spell over himself, and then began to prepare an attack spell. However, if he hadn't prepared this protective spell, he might still be able to struggle with me for a while, but it's a pity that he wasted his precious time on this protective spell.
Anyone who has fought with me knows that the only two means of protection when fighting me are dodge and block. Protection itself is of no use. Because my weapon is eternity, and eternity carries the law of cutting. So, except for a few special existences. Basically, nothing can block eternity, so when fighting me, instead of wasting time supporting the protective shield, it would be more practical to refresh myself in a few states.
The Dharma Saint didn't know me, so he didn't know my combat characteristics. So when he saw me, he immediately opened his shield and prepared to use magic to attack me. However, I took an unusual path and came directly from the mountain. He swooped down and hit his protective magic in the air. Although the protective magic itself can block my direct approach. But the impact cannot be offset. It's like sometimes the tank itself on the battlefield has not been penetrated, but the tank crew inside has died. Hard defense can only offset direct damage, but shock waves and impact forces cannot be blocked.
The Dharma Saint didn't expect that I would bump into him after seeing him open his shield. What he didn't expect was that at the same time that I bumped into his magic shield, my long sword penetrated without any hindrance. His magic shield was then pressed against his throat. As for his magic shield, it exploded like a soap bubble the moment it was penetrated by the sword.
"Does this mean I win?" He put his sword against the opponent's throat. I asked aloud.
Because the Dharma Saint had distanced himself from us before, and the wind in the air was too strong, he didn't hear the conversation between me and the Sword Master at all. After I said this, he said firmly: "I admit that I was restrained by you, but I will not surrender easily."
"Eh? Is it a foul for you to do this?" I suddenly put away my sword and said.
The Dharma Saint was wondering about my reaction, and suddenly he heard the Sword Master shouting above him: "Elder Moses. This is not an intruder, he is a foreign aid invited by a certain tribe!"
When the Dharma Saint heard this, his expression immediately relaxed. Then he said: "So that's it. In that case, I have failed now. Just do whatever you want. The two of us have been killed by you now, and we will not interfere with your actions in the future." "
I smiled and said, "Then our task will be much easier. But we can't go out yet. I have made an appointment with my men. If I go out too early, I worry about affecting their rhythm."
"Oh, then let's wait here."
As an intruder, I am not in a hurry. Of course, the two elders were not in a hurry. I didn't let them go out now, and they just asked about this space. Although they didn't know that there was a problem with the flow of time here, they all felt the out-of-control state of their bodies very clearly, so as soon as we were free, they both started asking me questions about this unhealthy state.
The sword master himself was not a magician, so it was better. However, the sword master asked me in surprise: "I just checked my body. I don't have any curses or control problems." Spells, but why doesn’t my body obey the orders at all? The response speed of the magic elements here is also frighteningly high. When I first started to cast the first spell, Feather Fall, I almost failed to cast it. You know, I am a spell. Holy, and Featherfall is only an advanced spell for junior mages. If this fails, my old face will really have no place to put it. Can you tell me how you affect my body and the surrounding magical elements? Why? Is the magic element activity here so high?”
"Actually, it's not a problem with the elements and your body, but a problem with the time here. The flow rate of time in this place where we are is eight times faster than normal time, so your body's response speed will be eight times faster than normal. So , your body is actually very normal, and you naturally cannot detect any negative conditions. As for the magic elements, it is actually the same situation. You feel as if the magic elements here are particularly active, and they react immediately as soon as you cast a spell. In fact, it is you There is something wrong with your feeling. Because the time around you is eight times faster, and your consciousness is still flowing at a normal speed, you feel that the magic elements start to respond as soon as you cast a spell. In fact, this is because they have already spent eight times the time you have. The response is only started after the perceived length of time, just because the time you feel is only one-eighth of the time here. So you think they respond very quickly, but in fact the magic elements are still those magic elements. They have not changed anything. , all that changes is your feeling.”
The Dharma Saint couldn't help but start nodding when he heard this. He has never been exposed to these things, but after listening to my explanation, he understood a little bit. Of course, this guy then started to ask me about how I changed the flow rate of time, but I didn't know much about this thing, so I could only give him a rough explanation.
Outside Tianya, it only took Ling and the others twenty minutes to complete the work of obtaining the seeds. Then we waited for us to evacuate, but they spent twenty minutes outside. We waited inside for a full one hundred and sixty minutes. This eight-fold time multiplier was really exaggerated.
I calculated the time inside Juchi Tianya and immediately exited Juchi Tianya. As soon as I came out, I saw Ling and the others waiting there. I turned directly to look at Ling and Ives, and then asked, "Is everything done?"
Ives quickly replied: "Everything is put away."
Ling followed up with a report: "The patrol team that just came back has also been dealt with, and now they are all assigned to the secret warehouse."
I nodded and said to the two Sword Masters and Dharma Saints: "Then would you please go to the secret vault with the other guards and wait? Anyway, someone will be here in less than ten minutes."
The Dharma Saint and the Sword Saint had chatted with me for more than two hours before, and they were very familiar with me now, so after I finished speaking, they were polite and cooperated to go to the secret warehouse. Of course, the two of them were shocked when they first entered, because the secret vault was now full of "killed" guards, even though everyone was chatting. But the sudden sight of so many "killed" personnel still shocked the two elders. The Sword Master and the Dharma Saint are both scared. It's thanks to their own people to complete the bet on Jonah's seeds. If a hostile intruder comes in, wouldn't it mean that all of them would be wiped out?
Send the two elders into the secret vault, and then we start preparing to evacuate. First of all, of course, all the magic pets must be taken back, and then Avis and I started to return along the original path. There was no movement until we passed through the daily supplies distribution center. After all, it depends on time. At this time, no one should have noticed that something happened. After all, even if nothing happened, the patrol team that was supposed to leave at this moment must not have arrived at the place of duty, so judging from the situation outside, it is still normal for the time being.
After passing through the cargo distribution center, we quickly started walking back along the original road, and our speed was very fast along the way. Every place with guards on the way here has been hypnotized by us using the princess's ability. So when we went back, these guards treated us like nothing, so we didn't have to hide, we just let go and ran. The only thing we need to pay attention to is that we need to be careful with the mobile sentries, because although we hypnotized some mobile sentries when we came in, the positions of these people have been changing. When we come back, the mobile sentries here may not be here. It's time for that group of people. so. As for the mobile posts, we can hide and hide whenever we can, but because the fixed posts are all hypnotized, they don't pose any problems.
Because we didn't have to worry about the sentries, we moved very fast. It wasn't until we all reached the gate of Chimera's lair that we heard a piercing alarm sound coming from the direction of the Ancient Tree of Life behind us.
"Thirteen minutes. The guards in the royal capital reacted very quickly, didn't they?" I said after looking at the time.
Avis didn't show any surprise at this, but replied naturally: "The guards in the royal city are all the best among the best, so this reaction time is normal."
The thirteen minutes I just mentioned refer to the time from when the patrol team that was supposed to be on duty did not arrive to when the alarm was issued, a total of thirteen minutes. Because after discovering that the patrol team did not arrive at their posts, the guards on duty needed to send someone back to check the situation first, and this journey would take about five minutes. Excluding the reaction time after discovering the problem, the guards noticed the problem about five minutes after the patrol did not arrive at their posts normally and immediately sent personnel to the secret warehouse to check the situation. Otherwise, it would not have been possible. The response was so quick. With this kind of reaction speed, even the elite troops of many countries may not be able to keep up with this efficiency.
Although I admire the elves' reaction speed, when the alarm goes off, it means that our good time is coming to an end. The status of the guards who are confirmed to be intruded and the guards who are on normal patrol are definitely not the same. And the most important thing is that after an intrusion is discovered, all off-duty guards will immediately enter their posts. This is equivalent to saying that the number of guards suddenly increases. Several times, and all the magic mechanisms and alarm equipment that are usually silent because they consume magic power will inevitably be activated at this time. In short, it is impossible for us to run as fast as before. However, we are lucky, at least we are now in the outer areas. As long as you go a little further, you will be out of the scope of the royal court. As long as we are not in the royal court, the alert intensity will drop a lot, and we will be able to escape more easily then.
After disappearing into the darkness again, Ives Xiaoxin and I touched the periphery of the Wangting Garden. When we arrived here, it was already more than two minutes after the alarm bell rang. As long as we enter the garden, we can go down through the entrance where we came in, and then pass through a passage to exit the royal court. However, just when we arrived outside the garden, we heard the sound of regular footsteps coming from the garden. As soon as I heard the sound, I knew it was an army running past. I could even roughly judge from the footsteps that there were at least a hundred people in this group.
"Damn, why are there so many guards here?" I didn't dare to rush into the garden after hearing this voice. More than a hundred people were not that easy to deal with. Besides, even if I use babies to stuff all these people into the sweet world, we still don’t have time to deal with them one by one. And if you don't get them out and "solve" them, the baby will not be able to close the sweet world, and when the sweet world is activated, the baby's range of activities is limited. So, I try my best not to use the baby’s ability now. Of course, it can still be used if you really encounter a problem that cannot be solved. The worst is to leave the baby behind and we run away first. Anyway, as a magic pet, he can enter the training space or the Phoenix and Dragon Space at any time. As long as I run away, he will be ran away. However, this method can only be used once, so I plan to use it as a last resort, without using the baby as long as there is another way.
Ives lay on the hollow window pane of the garden wall and glanced into the garden. Then he immediately squatted down and squeezed with me and whispered: "This is trouble. There are all guards inside now, and there is a guy who wants to die." The immortal is standing on the cover of the tunnel that is not commonly used! How are we going to get past this?"
