"I see. Let's talk about it later."
After Eidol knew Si's mood through mind reading, she realized that Si has always had a strong sense of crisis and paranoia. It would be better for her to complete Si's plan first, and then discuss this matter with Si after their situation stabilizes. There is no rush anyway, and this matter is not so easy to resolve.
Si first used shadow magic to summon a shadow demon. This was a new branch of her shadow magic after it was advanced. It was a summoning skill, but because the attributes of the shadow demon were too weak in her opinion, she had never used this skill after obtaining it. But now was the time to use this skill.
The shadow of a big tree became solid under her magic and gradually turned into human size, but it looked more like a plant-based humanoid black shadow. Its average attribute was 300 points. Because it was summoned using the shadow of a tree, it had some skills to control plants. Its hp and mp were only 500 points.
As expected, Si still looked down on this kind of trash summoned creature that was not even cannon fodder. You have to know that she herself is just cannon fodder. This kind of trash summoned creature can't even help her block bullets. When she was used as a shield during training, it couldn't even block Ruoye's second. Apart from being able to use it to do such miscellaneous tasks, she couldn't think of any other uses for it.
Three more tree-man shadow demons were summoned again.
"Go."
She gave the Shadow Demon an order.
[Chapter 47: Strange way of asking for directions]
The convoy was on its way back to the city. It was a noble convoy with noble badges displayed on its carriages. However, this was a badge that no one had ever seen before. And judging from the title, the owner of this convoy was just a baron knight of the lowest rank, and a newly-appointed noble who had just been awarded the title.
Baron Knoros held the letter of introduction in her hand with great caution. Whether she could become the Earl's knight depended on this letter from her teacher. Although she was confident in her own ability, she also knew that it was very difficult for a knight like her with no background to continue to climb up.
Very difficult things.
Staying in the capital might lead to better development, but the environment in the capital was not something she could handle, so she decided to join a great noble and become a knight of that noble. If she could gain the noble's appreciation, then it would not be a problem for her to continue to move up in the future, and she could also hope to restore the glory of her ancestors.
However, this matter is not so simple. After all, the confidants of the nobles are cultivated since childhood. If they want to join now, they may not be taken seriously. So at this time, connections are needed. She is lucky that her swordsmanship teacher is the younger brother of a certain earl, so this time she came to seek refuge with the teacher's brother with a letter of introduction.
However, Baron Knolos did not know that her teacher actually took a fancy to her qualifications and felt that her bloodline could give birth to excellent children. The content of the letter of introduction was actually to arrange a partner for the earl, and the position prepared for the baron naturally could not be that of the mistress of the earl's house. He just planned to take her into the harem.
"What a stupid woman! Just choose her as your target." Si used Shadow Step and stealth skills to enter the carriage, and then used detection and analysis skills to read the entire letter. Baron Knolos in front of her couldn't even detect her existence. The full-level Shadow Step can make one's existence completely hidden in the shadow space, which means that she is just a shadow at the moment, coupled with the full-level stealth and concealment, it is really a terrifying phantom.
Before she came in, she had used her identification skills to obtain intelligence about the convoy.
As the level of identification increased, not only did the intelligence that could be obtained become clearer, but even the impact on the target when launching skills became lighter. Moreover, the attribute values of these people were too different from hers, and they had no skills such as detection and perception, so they didn't even know that she had used identification to obtain all their intelligence, let alone discover that she had lurked in.
"Launch the attack."
Follow her orders and go down.
The shadow demons that had been hiding in the shadows of the caravan launched an attack instantly. The two knights in the front and their horses were pierced through the bodies by the black shadow stakes and hung high in the air. Such a horrific scene frightened the horses behind and they instantly panicked. The knights hurriedly pulled their horses to stop.
High-level riding skills can control horses, and these knights have named their horses. This is a different world after all, so it is impossible to make these knights disrupt their formation due to such chaos. The fact is that they have now calmed the horses down, and the entire convoy has stopped smoothly.
"what's going on?"
Baron Knolos walked out of the carriage.
She didn't notice at all that there was a young man in black sitting in her carriage behind her. A knight hurriedly explained to the baron what had just happened. The baron came to the scene of the incident and looked at the warhorse and knight hanging in the air by the shadow stake. The miserable death was frightening, and the baron's expression became extremely serious.
She stared at the stakes.
"What exactly is this?"
She drew her sword and wanted to cut the wooden stakes, but just as her sword was about to hit the stakes, the shadow on the ground suddenly changed. The baron, noticing this change, immediately changed his tactics and used his sword to chop at the wooden stake that suddenly emerged from the shadow, but the toughness and hardness of the stake were somewhat beyond her expectations.
Not only did she fail to block the attack of the stake, but even her sword fell out of her hand. She could only watch in horror as the stake stretched toward her head. What kind of monster was this? There was no monster with this kind of characteristics in the Adventurer's Guild's Monster Encyclopedia, and why did it appear here? There was clearly no such thing happening nearby before.
"team leader!"
The knights behind the Baron tackled the Baron to the ground in time, and the wooden stakes pierced into the body of the knight behind them, instantly hanging the knight high up, and more wooden stakes burst out of the man's body and inserted into the ground, and then the stakes stopped moving again, giving people the illusion that they were passively triggered.
Si released the Shadow Step and regained his physical form. He found an unopened bottle of red wine in the Baron's carriage, opened it and smelled it, a pleasant grape aroma. He then poured a little and licked it with his tongue. After discovering that it was grape juice with a low alcohol content, he unceremoniously took out a cup and filled it for himself. He sat in the carriage, drinking and watching the show.
The baron then said to the knights: "Don't get close to them, be careful and retreat."
"Unfortunately, the Treemen Shadow Demons will not let their trapped prey escape."
The driver found a decorative sword in the carriage and started playing with it.
The carriage began to move, but soon screams could be heard coming from outside. Because they wanted to escape, the attack method of the Treeman Shadow Demon also changed. Originally, it would only attack those who triggered the mechanism, but now it became an indiscriminate massacre. The troops who originally thought they could still escape suddenly suffered a heavy mental blow.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Phew!
Shadow stakes protruded from the ground one after another, making it impossible to defend against them. Unless one hid in a place without shadows, it would be impossible to escape the attack range of the shadow demon. But at this time, the sun in the sky was very warm, and there were shadows everywhere, their own shadows, the shadows of the horses, and the shadows of the carriages. Even if a person died, the shadow would
It still exists.
So unless they can attack the Shadow Demon hiding in the shadow space, but Si had already confirmed that there was no magician among them. Even if some knights knew some simple magic, it was impossible to hurt her Shadow Demon based on their attribute values and that level of magic. In the entire convoy, only the Baron's attributes were higher than the Shadow Demon.
But unfortunately.
The Baron is a very good swordsman.
She doesn't know magic.
"it's time."
Seeing that the Baron's troops had been almost killed, Si took the bottle of red wine and the wine glass and walked out of the carriage. Then it was her turn to appear. As long as she saved the Baron's life, it shouldn't be difficult to get information about where this place is from the Baron's mouth? But who would have thought that what she wanted was so simple.
[Chapter 48: Obtaining the Demon Vest]
The Treeman Shadow Demon had a good effect, but the fundamental reason for this effect was that the Baron and his group were too weak. Si had begun to doubt her previous guess. She originally thought that the human race in this world was very powerful. After all, the group of humans she had seen before had very monstrous attributes.
Moreover, the demon clan has cadres of Ruoye's level, and there are even stronger demon kings above Ruoye. If the human race does not have a stronger combat power than that group of heroes, then it is impossible for them to stop the demon army. Moreover, since the system needs to recycle energy and let the human and demon clans fight each other, it must balance the combat power of the two clans.
There is no possibility of one side crushing the other.
The fact that the battle between humans and demons lasted for so many years shows that humans are indeed not weaker than demons. In addition, the system goddess favors humans, so humans should be stronger than demons. But now seeing the baron and her troops being beaten by her summoned minions, she began to doubt whether she had overestimated humans.
Although the status of the baron seems to be very low.
But he is still a formally titled noble, and an upper-class person in the human society of this world. And it turns out that such an upper-class person who is very confident in his own strength has only this much strength?
While Si was still thinking about these things.
Baron Knolos was already in despair. These monsters had not yet revealed their real bodies, but the shadow magic attacks that were as big as tree branches were enough to crush her troops. Moreover, her swordsmanship was completely useless against these monsters. The sword produced by the Master Weapon Shop in the Royal Capital could not even cut through the tentacles used by the opponents to attack.
Sad swordsman.
Neither has great power.
No magic either.
It can be said that Shadow Fiend is the nemesis of these traditional swordsmen.
"Captain, let's hold them back!"
The original team of fifty people now only has three attendant knights and the baron. These were the baron's team, but now they are all gone. Even if she managed to escape and was taken in by the earl, if nothing unexpected happened, she would have no chance to continue to climb up. Thinking of this, she was suddenly filled with grief.
But her body is very honest.
"Okay, I swear I will avenge you!"
Si, who had just walked out, saw this scene and stopped immediately. Why did she feel that her presence now would ruin the atmosphere? Should she fulfill the loyalty of these knights and then come out when they were all dead and the Baron could not escape? But she had already walked out and it was too late to go back.
"who?!"
The baron who had just turned around and wanted to escape saw a person in strange clothes standing behind him, and he was so scared that he pulled out the sword he had just put away. Although Si couldn't understand why she put the sword away before running away, was it because she couldn't run fast while holding the sword? But putting the sword away didn't seem to increase the speed much.
"A passerby." Si asked calmly, "Do you need help?"
The Baron stared at the wine in her hand.
Damn, that was her grape juice in a different packaging!
Si, who didn't know that she was actually drinking grape juice, shook the glass in an elegant manner. Although it looked very decent, after knowing that the glass contained grape juice instead of real red wine, she felt that the picture was a little different. However, at this time, the Baron didn't care about this guy stealing her grape juice.
"Are you a demon?"
The Baron looked at the Sharingan.
"No, these eyes are just decorations." Si stated the truth without any shame. The reason why he conjured up the Sharingan was just because it was cooler. But in fact, the magatama in these eyes could neither rotate nor perform powerful eye techniques. However, when it comes to eye techniques, she does have an evil eye.
"Ahhh!"
While they were talking, the three knights had completed their final act of loyalty. Si Gan drank a sip of the red wine in the glass without changing her expression. She could have saved them, but the Baron insisted on wasting time with her here, so she had no choice but to fulfill their loyalty. Besides, she did not intend to make herself look decent.
Because that would make it inconvenient to obtain information later.
"Damn it!"
The Baron saw three more men hanging on the stakes.
Suddenly I became anxious.
"If you can save me, I will agree to whatever you ask!"
Although my heart is not
She was often unhappy and wary of this strange passerby, but now she could only ask this suspicious passerby for help, and could only offer such a big condition, because the other party did not look like a good person, and it was even very likely that he was a demon lurking in, and even this incident might have been designed by the other party.
When Si heard the conditions she offered, he suddenly became thoughtful. It seemed that his acting skills were very good. The other party's impression of her was worse than the identity she initially thought. Moreover, the baron seemed to think that she was a demon who had lurked in. It seemed that this identity could be used again in the future. This was an unexpected gain.
The baron saw that the man who looked like a demon just looked up at the shadows reaching out, and instantly the shadows on the ground began to burn. Then four hideous monsters emerged from the shadows, rolling and struggling in the flames, and were finally burned to death, leaving no trace after death.
At this time, those human stakes fell down one by one.
The Baron swallowed.
When she looked at the man again, she was already in awe of the strong. She had seen many magicians in the capital, and had also seen the strongest magician on the continent, so she had a certain eye. The magic of this man in front of her was probably one of the best in the entire continent, and he might be a big shot from the demon clan.
"Thank you very much for your help, as long as I can do it, I will do my best for you." The baron's attitude suddenly became very respectful. Si immediately understood why the owner of the letter of introduction thought that his brother could win this woman, because this woman seemed strong on the outside, but was actually very weak on the inside.
She originally thought that the other party was a young and inexperienced person.
But I didn't expect it to be overestimated.
But this is a good thing for her.
"First, tell me everything you know about this place."
When Si saw that she said this, the woman's expression was as if she had discovered something. She knew that her acting skills were good. Next, the woman would definitely believe that she was a demon. If this woman was the kind of fool that she thought at the beginning, she might refuse to cooperate even at this time.
However, this woman's nature was very weak. She had no racial justice in her heart at all, because she was just a woman who was overwhelmed by the family mission. So when facing this master who was suspected to be a big figure of the demon clan, this woman did not dare to hide anything and told him all the information she knew.
And through the hidden Eidol.
The company can also determine whether the other party is lying.
[Chapter 49: Human City]
Si returned to the forest and dispelled the illusion, and the fairy lady who had been hiding nearby also showed up. She saw that the fairy lady was not at all uncomfortable with her evil behavior, so she knew that the saintly fairy lady in the Monster Mountains was indeed this guy in disguise. Although the fairy lady was definitely not a bad person, she was definitely not a saint either.
"Do you have the magic that can transform me into myself ten years later?" It was naturally impossible to continue using the previous image next, and she had to change to one that was more suitable for activities on the surface. She now knew that the true level of the human race was far lower than her previous estimate. According to Knoros, the strongest human on this continent was the master of the hero, and the next one was the hero.
The combat power of the hero's master and his party is extremely extraordinary among the human race. It is not a combat power that ordinary humans can possess. Among the human race, those whose average attribute value can reach 1000 are all strong.
Moreover, she had learned from classmate Ruoye before that neither humans nor demons could use skill points to learn skills on their own. Like monsters, they could only consume skill points through training and fighting. Actively using skill points to learn skills was the privilege of them as reincarnated people. From this perspective, the level of the human race was really ridiculously low.
Although her current strength is not yet invincible, there is no one in this territory who can be her opponent. If this is the case, then there is no need for her to hide any longer. Perhaps she can use a more ostentatious way to enter the city, because she does not want to continue living this frugal life.
She wanted to live a rich life! Although it was indeed risky, as long as she confirmed that the information she got from Knoros was true, her idea would be possible. Because she just wanted to be rich, it would not have any impact on the brave warriors, and there was no reason for those strong men to pay special attention to her.
Eidol felt that Si was asking too much, because that was no longer the level of illusion magic. Who could know what you would look like in ten years? You were not like a fairy with eternal beauty. If you wanted to know what you would look like in ten years, it would involve time. However, she had only heard of the name of time magic.
"All I can say is try your best."
"Then try your best. As long as you are 70% or 80% similar to me, that's fine."
"Then let's sneak into the city tonight. If we are sure there is no problem, we will officially enter the city tomorrow morning." Miss Fairy did not ask why it was so troublesome because she was used to it. If Si was not so cautious one day, she might feel uncomfortable. She agreed to Si's request as usual.
At night, Eidol uses invisibility
The two sneaked into the city. The city gate's defenses were really crude, and they used backward patrol methods like manpower to warn. Si was originally worried that there would be some triggering magic, but she didn't expect that there really was none. She now believed most of the information she got from Knoros. The human race was really weak.
The town at night was not as lively as in the morning, but it was not deserted either. Although it was backward in all aspects, life in the night market was very fulfilling. This group of humans not only did not know how to make progress, but were so decadent when it came to having fun. Si saw that many hotels and massage parlors were open for business in the night market, and for a moment he despised these people from another world.
Si found a clothing store that looked very expensive and was open at night with few customers. However, the location of this store was not very good. It was in the center of the street where people were coming and going. She had originally planned to use her money to buy clothes, but she made a new decision. She and Miss Fairy approached the store in stealth, and then used Shadow Steps to sneak in.
The clerk was reading a book at the counter, and the boss was designing new clothes on the second floor. Si and Edor took a look around and took away a few expensive dresses. However, these clothes definitely could not be worn directly, after all, the sizes were not right, and most importantly, these clothes were obviously designed by the boss upstairs, and if they were worn out, they would definitely be discovered to be stolen.
Walked out of the clothing store.
Idol asked in confusion: "What do you want me to do with those clothes? Do you want to wear them? But..."
She looked at Tsukasa's true size.
1 meters 5.
The chest is still flat.
There's no way I could wear this.
"I brought it back for your reference. When the time comes, you will transform into a grown-up version of me, and the clothing will follow this style."
Tsukasa noticed Eidol's rude look.
