Chapter 01: Night battle

"Sages", an almost real game, was officially launched in this hot summer day.

Players entering it all want to see more of this and that world that is extremely beautiful in the game promotion. They listen to the adventurers' talk in the adventure tavern. Imagine the storm bay with the sea breeze, the quiet and peaceful whispering forest, and the vast flower-speaking plain... In the north of the world, there is a roof of the world, and the holy dragon living on the mountain believes in the dragon god Odmiral in the seven-story paradise. In the south of the world, there is a desert country of Modland, which is bathed in flames all day long. They believe in the Missouri divine system completely different from the continent. Below that continent, there is an underground hole, in which Drow; gray dwarf; spirit-sucking monsters; demon eyes and even black dragons...

In the east of the continent of Arenthea, the vast land near the Storm Bay has always been a prosperous place. The country "Vedora" is powerful because of its magic, is located on this fertile land. Walking on this land that is vaguely smelling of sea breeze, you can see the ears of wheat harvests that have been harvested thousands of miles, the farmers walking in the wheat fields, and the noble manors.

Our sight bypasses the rich flower-speech plain, the powerful magic capital Golden City. Behind the towering mountains that block the sea breeze, a prosperous city of Ferente, a sea-blazing city appeared. It is located in the northeast of the Kingdom of Vitora. If the golden forest next to it is included, it is also a vast land. On the territory of the kingdom, you can see that this land occupies at least one-third of the entire kingdom.

But in fact, this place is quite developed. Although it is difficult for crops to survive because of the poor soil. However, it is based on Storm Bay and its business is extremely prosperous. In this game of "Sages", this place is one of the most famous novices towns.

...

On the continent of Arenthea, the wilderness at night is full of dangers, which is the entry-level rule that all adventurers must know. Compared to the high-level monsters cruising around at night, the cold rye and delicious honey pork chops in the town are the destinations that adventurers and players should choose.

Lin Xi knew this, of course, but because of a hard-earned hidden mission, he had to appear in the suburbs under the night of Ferente.

In this quiet dark night, he pulled his hood down a little, covering his face, and letting his figure shrink into the protection of the night as much as possible. At this distance, he should be guaranteed not to be discovered by those mercenaries. Unfortunately, he is a mage, not a stalker, otherwise he would have been 80% sure of this hidden task.

There were some bonfires flashing in front of them, and several mercenaries were talking and laughing loudly. From time to time, they would make lewd laughs, and it was clear what topics they were talking about. The bonfire kept making 'squeaks' sounds. Although it was already very late, because of the explosive topics, the mercenaries did not seem to have the desire to sleep at all.

Lin Xi's mission was to find a silver dagger from the goods guarded by these mercenaries. In the slums of Ferente, a stalker charged this prop at a high price. The price of 150 gold was enough to make anyone take risks. Lin Xi also spent a lot of money to get some information about the dagger from the wretched old man in the tavern.

He let out a sigh of relief. Lin Xi held the staff given by his mentor after graduating from the Mage Academy. He stored two magic missiles and his magic position. If a battle suddenly exploded, it would not be a problem to deal with the two mercenaries by himself. But depending on the situation, there are at least a dozen mercenaries here, and it is really not too easy to fight. Therefore, if you can not cause a battle, you must not fight with those mercenaries easily.

After waiting patiently for a while, the mercenaries were also a little tired. Most of them walked into the tent and fell asleep, leaving only three people to watch. Lin Xi looked carefully at the surroundings and looked about fifty feet away from the mercenary's cargo place. No matter how he moved, he would definitely be exposed to the sight of the three mercenaries.

Fortunately, I was already prepared. Now Lin Xi’s level is level 3, and the only magic stored in the level 2 spell position is ‘Invisibility’. With Lin Xi’s current level, the invisibility can last for 3 minutes. The effect is very similar to the stalker’s ‘Stealing’, which can make others unable to see the caster for the time being. If the movement is fast enough, it should be possible to obtain the task props safely.

After waiting patiently for a while, the mercenaries who were vigilant seemed a little relaxed. The chat that was originally faint began to become silent, so they just sat mechanically in place and put fire into the fire from time to time. Of course, this does not mean that they have lost their vigilance. As mercenaries who have been licking blood at the edge of the knife for many years, they have long died of carelessness. But people cannot remain highly vigilant at all times. After waiting for a while, Lin Xi finally found an opportunity.

A mercenary who was watching seemed to be a little napping, and the two companions next to him did not mean to wake him up. Lin Xi felt a little relieved. Although he did not have the desire to sleep because he was in the game. However, this "Sage" game is famous for its imitation. If he has maintained a posture for so long, there is no place in Lin Xi's body that is not sour. If he continues to stay, Lin Xi is afraid that he will trigger any negative BUFF.

He moved quietly, and Lin Xi applied the "invisibility technique" to himself. Now his whole body was covered by an inexplicable energy fluctuation. If it were during the day, he might see some signs, but the chance of being discovered in the dark is not very high.

It was only three minutes before Lin Xi walked over. When he passed the three mercenaries, the relatively strong warrior, who was probably level 5, suddenly raised his head and looked around. This scared Lin Xi quickly stopped his figure.

"Did you hear any sound?" the warrior said, and the thin ranger next to him also quietly observed the surroundings. After a while, he couldn't help laughing: "Nothing, Oz, aren't you wasting too many bullets on that nymph's belly and having auditory hallucinations?"

"Haha, maybe I'm really allergic. But then again, the girl in Daddy's bar is spicy, that big one..."

Dad’s Bar? Lin Xi thought for a moment and remembered the adventurer’s bar located in the slums. His information was obtained from a wretched man there. Now he knows how the wretched old man’s information came from.

Seeing the two mercenaries talking about the topic of children's inappropriateness, Lin Xi carefully took a few steps and arrived at the place where the mercenaries placed goods in the rear. He took a deep breath and Lin Xi searched quickly and softly.

"Damn it, it's locked!" Lin Xi found the box inside the task description, but the box was locked. If it could not be imagined, Lin Xi could choose to take the box away. But the problem is that there are two boxes that meet the task description...

The box could not be put into the backpack, Lin Xi could only hold the two boxes in her hand and then prepare to leave. At this time, Lin Xi heard a sound of footsteps in his ears, and then he turned his head and found a mercenary rising and swearing.

The mercenary had just finished his pleasure and turned around and saw two boxes floating in the air. He couldn't help but wipe his eyes, and then an inexplicable voice rang in his ears.

"Color-Spray!(Color-Spray!)"

Then, a ball of flashing light shot out, and the mercenary fainted on the ground when his eyes turned black. Lin Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The colorful spray could make the enemy who had not passed the judgment unconscious. Now using this magic is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

"What sound!" The mercenary behind him seemed to hear something, and was about to come and check it out quickly. Lin Xi applied a 'oil soles' to himself without hesitation and ran quickly to the distance. Because he had just released the magic, Lin Xi's figure had already appeared. Fortunately, it was very dark, and Lin Xi successfully escaped far away. After running for a while, Lin Xi discovered a hole. At this time, the invisibility technique had already failed, and he jumped into the hole in a panic and held his breath.

Soon, Lin Xi heard a panic-like footsteps and yelling. The sound wandered around Lin Xi hiding for a few times, and then walked towards the distance cursingly.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the two boxes in his hand. If he forcibly breaks the boxes, the items inside had a certain chance of being damaged. In order to safely enter the 150 gold energy, Lin Xi decided to find a stalker to help him unlock the lock after going back.

After letting out a long breath, Lin Xi was about to climb out of the hole when a low growl came from behind him. He was slightly surprised, turned around and saw a gray brown bear with blood-red eyes.

"I really...win the jackpot."

I didn't expect that I actually ran into the brown bear's nest. This character is really 'strong'...

The gray brown bear roared and rushed towards Lin Xi. Lin Xi had already used a second-level spell position and two first-level spell position. Now he still has four zero-level spell position and two first-level spell position. What he remembers on the first-level spell position are "Shield Technique" and "Master's Hand". Under the current circumstances, the brown bear in front of him obviously will not give him a chance to release it.

The brown bear roared in front of him and rushed towards Lin Xi quickly. Lin Xi took a breath slightly, then raised his right hand, held a staff made of oak on his right hand, and emitted a ray of light at the tip of the staff. Two blue balls of light escaped from Lin Xi's hand and hit the brown bear's body.

－3,－4.

Fortunately, the magic missile is a spell that must hit, and the two magic missiles have caused 7 points of damage. Looking at the brown bear, it seems that there is more than half of its blood...

"Roar!" A sharp claw grabbed Lin Xi's body, and a bright red sign of -12 flew out. Lin Xi's mouth felt bitter, and then he killed more than half of his blood. Now he only had 8 points of blood left. If he was rubbed by this bear, he would be completely dead.

If you die, you will have 12 hours of real time and cannot log in to the game, which is about two days in the world of "Sages". And all the things in the bag will be exploded. This punishment is not bad. Of course, if someone spends a big price to resurrect you, it will be fine. But Lin Xi is still playing this game alone at the moment, so it is impossible for anyone to resurrect himself at the big price.

In desperation, Lin Xi could only release the magic missile stored on the magic rod again. Whether he could kill the bear in front of him this time depends on his luck. If he was not lucky and the bear was not killed by the magic missile, he would probably be dead.

After death, all items will be exposed, so the hidden mission you have worked hard will naturally fail...

Just as these thoughts flashed through Lin Xi's mind, the damage from the magic missile had already come out.

－5,－4.

At the last moment, Lin Xi was really lucky. He was almost happy to thank the goddess of luck Pandora, although he believed in the goddess of magic.

The brown bear screamed and finally fell to the ground. Lin Xi walked over, touched the corpse, got some bear skin, teeth, and bear flesh. After nodding with satisfaction, Lin Xi walked out of the cave and walked carefully towards Ferente. It was still at night, if he encountered a cruising monster, or should still be chasing his mercenary, then he would be in a bad luck and had no place to say - his magic position had been used up, and the precious magic wand in his hand had been scrapped, becoming a wood without any energy.

If you encounter an enemy, how should you fight? Use flash techniques that are just a trick-level or a sulfuric acid spray? A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xi's mouth.
