The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 360: Taling Argus
…
"What the hell!"
"Or surround sound..."
"What a high-level voice transmission technique!"
On the hill.
Roger looked at the high-ranking Weilan with a little envy.
Next second.
He tore off a high-level "Voice Transmission Scroll" with a bit of heartache.
With the blessing of circles of amplifying halos.
Roger's voice could also be heard clearly.
See this scene.
A faint smile appeared on Weilan's face.
It was only when he heard the specific content of Roger's response.
That smile disappeared instantly.
Because Roger's answer was very simple -
…
"Who are you?"
…
Phew.
A strange laugh came out of the orange cat next to him.
It was very harsh in the current quiet atmosphere.
Thanks to the scroll of telepathy.
Smith's sneer easily reached Weilan's ears.
His expression suddenly darkened.
There was no one else present.
Except for the three or two kittens on Roger's side.
There are only direct descendants from his Evil Shadow City.
He knows it very well too.
Roger said this only to irritate him.
But this arrogant answer that treated the enemy as air really made him feel sick.
He had a rare urge to fight his enemy.
But Vilan is Vilan after all.
After three to five seconds.
His mood turned back to Shisui.
He stood on the tall vertical pupil.
The tone is as calm as before:
"It's normal that the demon slayers of Mystra can't remember a nobody like me."
"but……"
"It doesn't matter whether you remember or not."
“Because starting today.”
"You no longer have the final say in Mystra!"
The words fell.
The golden vertical pupils under his feet suddenly opened a wider crack.
"roar!"
The shadow of an ancient golden dragon emerged from it.
"Evil Shadow City!"
"station!"
Accompanied by the golden dragon's violent roar.
The magnificent floating city slowly descended.
Roger noticed.
Under the floating city.
Those two ancient evil creatures still looked like they were working hard without complaint.
Facing the command of the golden dragon.
They did not show any resentment.
Just executing commands silently.
Crunch!
Various sounds were heard.
After the floating city landed.
It began to switch into another form that Roger had never seen before at the fastest speed!
…
"Ikadore and the others have been trained very well."
Roger's face remained calm.
But I became more alert in my heart.
Although he also has means to deal with ancient evil creatures.
But I don't think I have the ability to train them to become willing brick-moving machines.
"This is not something that the Vilan in front of us can do."
"Since there is a historical body, there must be a corresponding present body."
"You cunning fellow, where did your present-day self hide?"
Roger thought calmly.
He did not act rashly.
Instead, I chose to wait and see.
But with the passage of time.
Roger felt more and more that something was wrong!
Because of the scale and strength of the Evil Shadow City in front of us.
Far beyond his expectations!
…
boom!
After a muffled .
The huge floating city took root.
The first things to light up were the four wizard towers rising into the sky.
The shadow of the ancient golden dragon shuttled between the mage towers like a supervisor.
Three seconds later.
The vertical pupil patterns on the four wizard towers of different shapes also opened their eyes.
Two long legs emerged from the base of the tower.
Six long and thick arms, half constructed and half etheric, extended from the shoulders!
The four tower spirits stood up from the ground nimbly.
A total of 24 arms were picking and choosing in the city.
He planned and adjusted the positions of the major buildings in the floating city very skillfully!
See this scene.
Roger felt a chill in his heart.
on the data bar.
…
"Hint: You have discovered the four great tower spirits of 'Evil Shadow City'"
…
"Tower Spirit (Earth, Fire, Feng Shui): Level 100/Elite Template/Half-Constructed Creature/Half-Elemental Creature/HP 10,000+"
…
"Note: In the Mage Tower, the Tower Spirit is the master."
…
"broken!"
"This guy actually has 4 Taling workers!"
"How did he do that?"
Smith next to him couldn't help but yell.
The corners of Roger's mouth twitched slightly.
He immediately gave it a look to signal him to be quiet.
because.
Its loud cries were also transmitted along with the "telepathy".
Isn't this just giving the enemy some confidence?
really.
Smith was heard to exclaim.
Weilan glanced at them with a smile in his eyes.
Immediately following.
He waved his hands.
A complex etheric rune formed on his chest.
The phantom of the ancient golden dragon roared several times in succession!
Ta Ling works even harder!
Almost in the blink of an eye.
A fortress-like wizard city has taken deep roots in the land of the Falling Plane.
Look around.
The outer city part visible to the naked eye.
Roger saw the orderly buildings.
Densely packed with evil mages, resurrectors, berserkers and mercenaries of other professions.
There are also a variety of spell barriers, magic devices, construct armies, turrets and bunkers!
…
"Qi-gazing: You have obtained a basic map of the outer city of Evil Shadow City."
…
"Hint: You have discovered the 'Crimson Dungeon', 'Evil Bunker' and 'Dead Cemetery'"
…
After landing.
The Evil Shadow City instantly formed a three-dimensional layout system with staggered layouts and excellent offense and defense.
Part of the inner city area has a hidden barrier.
It was difficult for Roger to find out.
But the parts of the outer city that show up alone are scary enough.
The Scarlet Dungeon is filled with 'human fuel' made up of slaves of various races;
The Evil Bunker is an army of various monsters created by Vilan using spells from the School of Evil Curse;
The Cemetery of the Dead is an army of undead created by piling up living people when the Bone Furnace can no longer burn them all!
The above three areas constitute the main body of the outer city area.
Plus those complicated spell traps.
And a small number of Black Blood Army patrolling the streets , gangways, and city walls.
This configuration.
There is simply no force in Mistra that can break through head-on!
Forget about Mistra.
Quinan also has few rivals!
…
"No wonder they were able to conquer the southern continent."
"This Evil Shadow City alone is enough to overwhelm all forces in Kuinan except the Sea Serpent Queen. Therefore, the expansion of the Salvation Society in the North has actually been very restrained..."
Roger's throat felt slightly dry.
He knew that Weilan was strong.
But I didn't expect him to be so shameless!
In a one-on-one situation.
Roger is absolutely confident that he can crush his opponent.
But now he is facing a city!
A floating city with strict defenses and traps everywhere!
…
"Never fight a mage in a mage tower"
…
This saying widely circulated among the adventurers of Quinan also applies to the upgraded version of the Mage Tower -
Floating city!
not to mention.
Generally speaking.
A floating city can only afford one tower spirit at most.
And Vilan actually has four.
God knows where he gets so much energy.
even.
Roger maliciously speculated that this guy had two more powerful tower spirits in the inner city.
This was not just his conjecture.
It is the product of empathy.
The cards on the surface are never as good as the cards hidden in the dark——
Roger has not forgotten who taught him this fighting style!
…
"It seems that it is not wise to force our way in."
Roger quickly adjusted his mindset.
Veran.
He must be killed.
This is true both in public and in private.
But don't rush into anything.
Especially now that he discovered that the Weilan in front of him was just a historical figure.
Maybe it was just a bait thrown out by the other party himself.
If you rush for success.
On the contrary, it is easy to fail.
…
"We need to find a way to determine Weilan's intentions and where his real body is..."
Thinking so.
Roger disappeared quietly.
He tiptoed down the hill.
Prepare to move towards the Evil Shadow City.
But at this moment.
A ray of yellow light suddenly pierced over from the vertical pupil.
It was so accurate that it captured Roger as he was crouching forward!
…
"Warning: The 'Vertical Pupils of the Ancient Golden Dragon' have seen through your 'Stealth'"
…
"Mr. Roger..."
"If you want to visit Evil Shadow City."
"There's no need to be so reserved."
Weilan's mocking voice wandered between heaven and earth.
Roger didn't respond either.
He remained calm at the moment.
Disappeared at the same place again!
…
"Hint: You have activated the special effect of ambergris, 'Fragrance Retention'"
…
"You teleported successfully!"
…
"The passive 'Invisibility' effect of the Traceless is taking effect..."
…
"Warning: The 'vertical pupils of the ancient golden dragon' have seen through your 'invisibility'"
…
puff!
Roger was like a thief moving in the dark.
It was directly illuminated by a big and bright light!
The Illuminator was still mocking expressionlessly:
"That's a very clever teleportation technique."
"As expected of you, the leader of Qingquan Sect."
"The skill of hiding one's head and showing one's tail is impressive..."
Roger gritted his teeth.
…
"Flash!"
…
"Leaves fragrance"!
…
This time.
Roger teleported to a "fragrance spot" far away from the Evil Shadow City.
This is to reduce perceived stress.
“This distance.”
"No matter how powerful this semi-divine weapon is, it can't shine, right?"
“Fuck!”
Roger's thoughts were not yet finished.
The searchlight that was following them like a shadow suddenly shone brightly over.
That moment.
Roger's heartbeat was extremely fast.
It was as if I was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
on the data bar.
…
"You have been discovered three times in a row. You have achieved a new milestone: Bad Stalker."
…
"Poor Stalker: You have been removed from the 'Rogue Chat Group' by the administrators."
…
"Corresponding title: Every horse stumbles, every person makes a mistake (When an embarrassing incident occurs, your temporary sense of shame decreases by 50%)"
…
"You disappoint me, Roger."
Weilan stood on the "headlight".
"I thought you were a brave and resourceful man... but I didn't expect you to be such a careless guy, huh!"
This sentence made Roger slightly stunned.
"What is this guy talking about?"
Roger couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Just at this moment.
A voice sounded in his ears:
"You are indeed too careless, Roger!"
Roger looked back.
It's that fat orange.
At this moment the latter was lying lazily on the ground.
While licking his own fur.
While speaking vaguely:
"Your stealth and invisibility are so powerful. Under normal circumstances, how could he have discovered you?"
Roger was even more puzzled:
"Then why does he always take photos of me?"
Hearing this.
The personal spy finally stopped licking the fur.
Instead, he said with a look of disappointment:
"Because I've been following you!"
"I can't be invisible..."
Bang!
It was kicked away.
…
“Fuck it!”
“I’m still a little nervous.”
"I didn't even notice the extra burden, but this guy's presence is pretty low..."
Roger was just about to open the "Liu Xiang".
Who knew that the fat cat would come so close like lightning!
"You can't leave me!"
"I don't have any fighting ability!"
"I will die if you don't care about me!"
Smith said confidently:
"Besides."
"Can't you think of a solution?"
"You can take me with you into hiding!"
"Just stuff me into your clothes. Well, first of all, I have to make it clear that the crotch is not allowed..."
"No, I'm a bit of a germaphobe..."
"Chest? The chest is fine, but will it affect your movements? After all, your center of gravity is unstable..."
"Tickling? I won't tickle you. I'm very civilized. I can only lick you twice at most..."
Under Smith's chattering.
Roger actually seemed irritated.
He kicked the fat cat away again.
Try to act alone.
But the latter always sticks to me like a shadow.
This made Roger mad.
Under the direct light of that cold headlight with vertical pupils.
The man and the cat started a long-lasting tug of war.
At the end.
Roger even got into a fight with the fat cat.
But the cat is quite agile.
After being kicked a few times by Roger.
This guy can actually dodge left and right.
Time passes by every second.
The painting styles of these two guys are becoming more and more weird.
They moved slowly through the wilderness.
It was like playing a game of cat and mouse.
It’s just that the role played by the fat cat is the mouse.
…
Above the vertical pupil.
Weilan glanced at them occasionally.
at first.
His expression showed he wasn't concerned.
After all, the purpose of his trip was not to kill Roger.
The Evil Shadow City is rooted here.
There are more important plans and visions!
Most of his energy was spent on controlling the phantom of the ancient golden dragon to arrange the inner city.
He just occasionally glanced at the farce involving a man and a cat outside the city.
if you can.
Vilan didn't mind casting some spells over.
Unfortunately, the distance is too far.
Weilan himself did not dare to leave the city.
This is not difficult to see from what he knew about Roger's battle record.
This guy is just like his predecessors.
Possesses the potential to become a one-on-one king.
Even though the other party seemed to be helpless against him at this moment.
Even teased by myself...
But Weilan knew very well.
Leave the city.
It's just like seeking death!
So he just diverted some of his attention to the guy who looked a little funny.
But gradually.
He sensed something was wrong!
…
"This is a meaningless quarrel..."
“Abnormal!”
Weilan's heart trembled.
Now.
He whispered a spell.
The shadow of the ancient golden dragon came in response!
The light of the vertical pupil turned into golden color.
The light hit Roger and Fat Cat fiercely.
Both of them disappeared instantly!
…
"What a vivid illusion!"
Weilan was slightly surprised.
Then he looked around calmly.
"Increase patrols!"
"Keep the inner city safe!"
Give an order.
The four great tower spirits stood up.
The shadow of the ancient golden dragon was flying wildly in the city.
The searchlight-like light began to flicker inside and outside the Evil Shadow City.
…
"Record: You used the Trickster's Trick: Glimpses"
…
"You created a vivid illusion"
…
"Record: You begin to carry heavy loads while sneaking (Smith, the Sea Serpent Queen's personal agent)"
…
…
"Warning: Your trick of 'Glimpses' has been discovered."
…
Outside the Evil Shadow City.
A hidden corner.
Roger squatted quietly at the foot of the city wall.
He was stuck in an extremely sensitive position.
Go further.
The possibility of him being discovered by Vertical Pupil would increase dramatically.
And take a few steps back.
His next plan had almost no chance of success.
So this moment.
Roger's perception was stretched to the limit.
He focused all his attention on the interactive information inside and outside the walls of Evil Shadow City.
The fat orange guy lying on his chest also shut his mouth wisely.
In fact.
Ever since Roger realized that this burden was the reason why he was repeatedly tracked by the vertical pupil.
He just stuffed it into his shirt.
Immediately following.
He used a trick that he had pulled out from his bag of tricks a long time ago.
…
「Glimpses (click here for an introduction)」
…
Roger used it to conceal his true identity.
The effect is still very good.
Until now.
Only then did Vilan see through the illusion.
to this end.
He also mobilized a large number of troops to search inside and outside the city walls.
But what he didn't know was.
This move is exactly what Roger wants!
…
In the shadows.
Roger calmly observed the movement routes of the four tower spirits.
Then he whispered:
"I'm going."
"This is no joke. If you don't have the means to protect yourself, I will dig a hole and bury you."
Smith shook his hairy head and said:
"Dig a hole, man."
"I'm not lying to you. Apart from mind reading, I'm really just a useless person who can transmit voices."
Roger raised an eyebrow.
Suddenly asked:
“Is your ability to read minds a specialty or a skill?”
Smith answered without hesitation:
"Of course it's my expertise!"
Roger hesitated for a moment.
He immediately dug a hole and buried it in it with lightning speed!
Then he let out a long sigh.
In order to cover up the murderous intent——
This fat cat is annoying.
But at least it's honest.
Roger was asking questions.
What I was thinking about was something related to the killing order.
If Smith had still turned on the telepathic reading function at that time.
This would definitely not be the reaction.
That being the case.
Roger could only let it go with regret.
…
"At least give the Queen some face."
"And I shouldn't be a murderous person."
Thinking so.
Roger flashed and got close to the base of the city wall.
Three seconds later.
A six-armed tower spirit is patrolling here.
Roger slowly opened his hand towards it.
Lord of the Rings.
A ring with an ancient shape is shining brightly!
…
"Possessed Ring"!
…
"Today's affix: Cylinder with multiple protrusions"
…
"Possession Ring: You are possessed by Taring Argus! (Water)"
…
whoosh!
The switching of consciousness scenes is as smooth as ever.
Under the effect of the possession ring.
Roger transformed into Argus, one of the four great tower spirits.
Then he walked openly in the Evil Shadow City.
Since the initial layout has been completed.
The task that the tower spirits need to complete is to patrol and monitor according to the established routes.
This is also the reason why Roger had frantically recorded Talling's route before.
Next.
All he had to do was act like a tower spirit with low intelligence.
Roger saw it clearly.
The price of the coexistence of the four tower spirits is that the brains of each tower spirit are not very smart.
Vilan should have used that semi-artifact to replace the function of the high-level tower spirit.
The phantom of the ancient golden dragon is the core of this floating city!
"Let me see what you want to do?!"
With this thought in mind.
Roger, who transformed into a six-armed tower spirit, walked past Vilan's nose in broad daylight.
He approached the inner city step by step.
Along with this process.
The group of slanderous wolves that had been wandering outside the city for a long time also used Roger's consciousness as a springboard.
Quickly penetrate the city.
On Roger's orders.
The wolf cubs began to frantically search for Willan's present body.
…
After 1 hour.
Talling Agus still walked through the inner city with a stiff step.
His long arms idly fine-tune the angles of nearby buildings—
This is a common problem among tower spirits.
I want to get involved in everything.
The nearby guards glanced at him.
No abnormality was detected.
Ta Ling turned around slowly.
He did not stay long on the edge of the inner city.
Instead, he walked towards the outer city without hesitation.
"Argus!"
The shadow of the ancient golden dragon suddenly swooped down and roared.
Argus took a few steps forward.
Only then did he stop as if he realized it belatedly.
Ta Ling turned back stiffly and looked at the golden dragon mechanically.
Its seemingly unintelligent appearance successfully deceived the golden dragon.
"It's okay!"
The golden dragon roared angrily:
"Don't take too big a step. You've just stepped on several of your own people to death!"
"I totally understand!"
A mechanical sound came from Talling Argus's body.
And then keep moving forward.
But along the way.
It continued to do its own thing and trampled to death several members of the Black Blood Army.
"Oh shit!"
Jin Long was extremely angry when he saw this scene.
"I have never seen such a stupid tower spirit!"
"but……"
"It should be fine."
Jin Long looked at Argus's back and pondered in his heart.
So he turned around and checked the conditions of the other three tower spirits with peace of mind.
…
"Welan must have noticed something..."
Sensing the concerns of the ancient golden dragon.
Roger's heart sank.
In the past hour.
He didn't gain much.
The defensive measures and shielding barriers that Vilan had set up in the inner city were extremely sophisticated.
Even Taling Argus.
I can't even tell what's inside!
not to mention.
Roger couldn't stay on the edge of the inner city for long.
Even if it's mental retardation.
You also have to act like you have low intelligence.
Otherwise it would be too easy to be caught.
During this period.
Roger had also thought about leaving Tower Spirit's body and infiltrating the inner city alone.
But the risk is too high!
The ancient golden dragon's perception was extremely sharp.
Roger didn't want to alert the enemy.
So he chose to endure.
He carried out the boring patrol mission over and over again.
pity.
The feedback from the slanderous wolves was equally disappointing.
They can't find Vilan's real body at all!
According to the wolf cubs' perception.
Not to mention the specific location of the present body.
They couldn't even find the most basic traces.
This result basically indicates two possibilities.
…
First.
Weilan's present body is in the inner city.
second.
Not only is his present body not in Evil Shadow City.
Nor in the Fallen Plane, Mystra, or Quinan!
Otherwise, the wolf of slander has the ability to capture traces.
You will definitely not gain nothing.
…
"Could it be that Weilan has always put his historical body out in the open, while his present body is hiding in "history that does not belong to the present world"? "
"What is his purpose in doing this? The same as Mistra and Quinan?"
"But he is not a god!"
Roger was even more confused.
Another hour passed.
Watching the meteor shower getting closer and closer.
Roger sensed that the noise in the inner city was getting louder and louder.
He knew he couldn't wait any longer.
He must change his strategy!
…
"Since I can't find my present body."
"Then let's kill a historical figure first to liven things up!"
"Kill the small one, and the big one will always pop out!"
Just think of this.
Roger's heart was filled with murderous intent.
Even though he turned into a tower spirit.
The personal torment in his chest was still there.
That moment.
The intense hostility and the grudges and hatreds from the previous life blended together.
Driven by a strong desire for revenge.
Talling Argus took the first step in a direction beyond the trajectory!
"Argus!"
A loud shout came from Weilan's mouth above the vertical pupil.
Roger's heart sank.
You have to take action first.
But the next second he heard Weilan's praise:
“Well done!”
Roger was stunned for a moment.
Then he looked down.
Move the tower spirit's huge foot away.
But I saw a humanoid creature that was trampled to the point of death twitching violently!
Roger didn't think much about it.
He went up and kicked him again!
…
"Hint: You killed 'Viscount: Fan' (Lv100 Assassin/Elite), the descendant of 'Vampire Duke'"
…
"Kill Order: You have acquired the feat of 'Fan' - Offspring Stealing"
…
"Offspring theft: every 10 natural years.
You can get a chance to "steal offspring".
You will be given a random child (or cub) from someone else within 10 km.
You will cast a charm on him.
Once the charm is successful.
The child (cub) will wholeheartedly regard you as his father."
…
"Well done, Argus!"
"He actually discovered the infiltrated assassin before me!"
Roger just came back to his senses.
The shadow of the ancient golden dragon pounced over with a hostile look on its face.
…
