176 chapter 175 tacit understanding
“Then it seems that you have another idea.” Wang Ningwei suddenly revealed a peaceful smile.
Ashvich also looked at Wang Ningwei in shock after hearing this.
At this moment, the two women looked at each other and instantly understood each other’s intentions.
when smart people got along with ordinary people, they would be able to cooperate well.
however, when two extremely intelligent people were together, the slightest deviation in their thoughts and their guesses about their respective positions could lead to a completely different outcome, so sometimes it was not efficient.
“ying, i’ll go first?” wang ningwei said.
after seeing the other party nod, wang ningwei, who never liked to be suspicious, was the first to be honest. “i also cast a ‘grease’ spell at the first moment, but the range of my spell was slightly later, so when i saw the gnomes fall, i knew that someone else had cast a spell.”
“according to the spell mastery list, of the eight people who learned grease, other than the first one who fell in the first wave of attacks, the other seven people, including you, i combined my observation and ‘spell identification’ to make sure that they didn’t use this spell.”
After ashvich heard Wang Ningwei’s words, she smiled faintly and said, “The moment I saw you cast a spell and raise your hand, I knew you were going to cast a ‘grease’ spell. Naturally, I wouldn’t cast this spell again. At that time, I chose to continue observing the other 18 people.”
When she saw Wang Ningwei use the grease spell, she knew that the outcome of this battle was already decided.
The gnomes could only rely on surprise attacks to seize the initiative. once they recovered from this, there was not much difference between 20 gnomes and 2 gnomes.
ashvich continued, ” after screening, i’m sure that if that mentor really exists, he shouldn’t have disguised himself to sneak in. i’m especially interested in the more antisocial players. ”
“After the people in the back row eliminated all suspicions from the team, I naturally began to pay attention to the open space behind me. when the undamaged dead leaf that we were passing by was suddenly crushed, i knew that an invisible person was approaching.”
wang ningwei had already understood ashvich’s train of thought from his answer. ” if you’re guessing that it’s zhongxia based on the fact that he can only use invisibility, then isn’t it too risky to just cover him with grease? what if he’s exposed? ”
The two girls weren’t stupid. If that person was really zhongxia, and he didn’t even tell them in the QQ group that he was in charge of stalking them, then they would be in trouble.
this meant that zhongxia was hiding something.
“Don’t be nervous, little Wei Wei.” Ashvich laughed and said, “maybe it’s a thief with invisibility, so I have to rule out the possibility. If that person was zhongxia, he would definitely be able to escape from that situation.”
when ashvich said this, she was even more confident than zhao xu.
after this test, no one in the team will suspect that the floating city has sent people to follow us. if we only know about the other party’s existence and limit it to the two of us, wouldn’t we be helping him?”
wang ningwei looked at asvich with a playful expression. ” ying, i think you’re more confident than him. ”
hehe, if he still can’t solve that kind of situation, then he deserves to be caught by us. He’s a complete pig-like teammate. ashvich said calmly, as if she wasn’t worried at all that anything would go wrong with zhao xu.
he cast the level two spell ‘Swift flight’, which can be released with a simple incantation. His stealth ability is very good.
“and i deliberately chanted the ‘grease’ incantation loudly, plus the sound of the wind whistling in that position was quite loud, so he could completely cast the spell and fly away without anyone noticing. naturally, it would not leave any traces on the oil. this way, i would be able to smoothly erase the suspicions that everyone had in the relay station.”
Ashvich said to Wang Ningwei.
the level two arcane spell “quick flight” was a weaker version of the level three arcane spell, flight. its main strength was that it could cast the spell in an instant and take off, without the need to recite a spell for a few seconds or make a casting posture like flight.
At the same time, the number of spell circles was one level lower, so a level 3 wizard could cast it. The only problem was that it could only last for one round (6 seconds) of flight.
this was also why ashvich was so sure that if that person was zhao xu, he would definitely be able to escape without a sound.
of all the low-level wizards around mistra, only zhao xu could freely cast all sorts of unpopular spells.
It wasn’t that everyone here didn’t want to cast grease. On the one hand, it was a problem of whether they had learned it or not, and on the other hand, it was a problem of whether they had prepared the limited two or three spell slots.
if he had to prepare a scroll, he would have to spend some time to take out the corresponding scroll from his backpack or scroll box, then spread it out and cast the spell.
This process also took a lot of time.
“but i suspect that he didn’t cast swift flight.” ashvich still revealed his own judgment.
” indeed, in an emergency, no one will think about the best or least costly means, but will start from the path dependence. ” Wang Ningwei analyzed, ” maybe he got some new magic item.
“what about you? Actually, you didn’t have to set up a ‘magic alarm’ just now.” Ashvich looked at Wang Ningwei and said, “my ‘grease’ technique was more or less used to distinguish the possible enemies and to dispel everyone’s suspicion.
“Me?”
at this moment, wang ningwei’s face brightened. “i’ve told zhongxia through that spell, and zhongxia has told me his answer.”
“Our mutual probing ends here.”
—————
zhao xu looked at the silver line that glittered under the sun and smiled.
The original annoyance of being found out had just emerged, but it immediately disappeared.
If he wasn’t prepared to be discovered from the start, then his plan would be too simple.
zhao xu only had level 2 spells, so when he faced these players who had level 1 spells, he actually had very limited means.
So Zhao Xu had been prepared from the start that the two smart girls would see through him.
antonya had told him to ” take care of the bandits without revealing his identity, ” and that would determine whether a magic item would belong to him or not.
As long as he did not show his face in front of the new mages, he would not be considered to have exposed his identity.
Even the “magic alert” that Wang Ningwei had set up could only be said to have guessed that someone had followed them after they left.
Unless Wang Ningwei called out his name to his face.
Otherwise, there would be a long way to go before Zhao Xu’s identity was exposed.
zhao xu knew from the start that he couldn’t reveal his identity, so he didn’t tell the other party about this in the qq group.
there were some things that were completely meaningless when one deliberately cheated and played with loopholes that others knew.
in particular, he knew that if he really revealed the truth to the two girls on qq, everyone’s performance would definitely be seen through.
Even if he were to leak this information, he might not be able to hide it from Antonya the moment it happened.
zhao xu looked at the silver line and knew that this was a message that wang ningwei had left for him.
she couldn’t tell him that wang ningwei had already guessed zhao xu’s existence, but she had to make sure that the two of them reached that level of tacit understanding.
the silver line under the sun was too obvious, even for the materials needed for magic alarm.
Wang Ningwei could have used the withered grass to cover the silver thread.
So after Zhao Xu used the trap detection spell to eliminate the possibility that the silver lines were used to cover up other traps, it meant that the silver lines were a clue that Wang Ningwei had left behind to tell him.
it also meant that she had already noticed that zhao xu wasn’t hiding very well, so she had left an opening and responded to zhao xu’s test.
zhao xu couldn’t help but smile wryly. even though he was confident that he could escape from the scene before the enemy could do anything to him, he still had the second level of swiftness.
however, all he wanted to do was to give the enemy a hint so that they could cooperate and control the mages of the floating city who were seeking death.
But Zhao Xu didn’t expect that Wang Ningwei would take the initiative and test him instead. She even tried to tell him how to maintain a tacit understanding with her.
zhao xu bent down and was almost on his stomach as he observed that long, thin, and sparkling silver line.
he gently wiped it with his hand, and sure enough, the silver thread was tied.
zhao xu immediately understood. wang ningwei was telling him how to prove that he was zhao xu.
Zhao Xu quickly estimated the time.
the range of the magic alarm was about six meters. if the “sound alarm” was selected, it would burst into a shrill sound that could be heard by everyone within a 20-meter radius.
If “mind warning” was selected, the spellcaster would receive the warning as long as they did not leave the 1.5 kilometer range.
If he dragged this out for too long, Wang Ningwei would be out of the 1.5-kilometer range and the other party wouldn’t be able to receive the notification.
Then, Zhao Xu followed the instructions on the Silver Line and walked to a six-meter radius with the bell as the center. He started going in and out of the perimeter line.
He kept activating the magic alarm, and the spiritual signal rippled in the air toward Wang Ningwei.
