Arcane Lord

Shado disappeared and followed the traces of radiation left by Drow. He walked over and over again in the Savile Town villa area, but the traces were incomplete!

The original source of that drow assassin can't be found at all!

The earliest starting point he could find was in the villa area, as if the drow assassin appeared here out of thin air, but Sha Duo didn't really believe in this possibility.

Thinking that Drow had lived in a dark area for a long time and had not seen the light all year round, he thought of a possibility——

"Maybe it's the sunshine!"

Sha Duo returned to the "art scene" again. Near the location where Zhuoer was just now, the radiation traces were still very new, which was convenient for experimental comparison. He chose a location with the strongest radiation and summoned a light ball. After a moment, Only then did it disintegrate.

There are still faint traces of positive energy in the air, but the original traces of radiation left by the drow have completely disappeared.

This means that the traces left by the drow can only be discovered at night. Once the night passes, they will be "refreshed".

This also means that it is almost impossible to trace the traces of the drow assassin before dark today.

But similarly, if traces of radiation are found in other places tonight, it means that the drow assassin has an accomplice, because his traces are only in the villa area, which means that he did not leave the villa area after dark.

If there are no accomplices, where did the traces after dark in other places come from?

Or, any traces that appear tomorrow night indicate that the drow assassin has an accomplice.

However, Xia Duo was unwilling to wait until tomorrow night. The fact that the drow assassin did not kill during the day did not mean that he could not kill during the day, although this possibility was unlikely.

If that drow assassin had an accomplice and was killing people during the day, even if he could be dealt with in the end, the panic and losses caused would be difficult to eliminate.

Nowadays, the existence of drow assassins is only known to elves and a very small number of humans. It is only right to solve them as soon as possible.

…

The first thing Shado checked was the trading area to the east. There were many outsiders here. If this place was massacred by drow assassins, the reputation of the Saville Territory would probably be ruined.

Fortunately, after walking around, no traces of radiation were found, but he heard a lot of bad news. When Xia Duo left the trade area, his face looked a little bad.

After that, he went to the South District and the West District in turn, and found no traces of radiation. This made Xia Duo feel a little better, at least he didn't have to worry about another drow attack.

As for the news he just heard in the trade area, since Xia Duo already knows it, he will naturally not let those guys succeed easily.

…

Returning to the Tower of Time, Sha Duo immediately came to the negative level and saw the drow assassin who had been imprisoned in the prison, and there were still several people surrounding him outside the prison.

It was Aberke, Nia, Cecily, and Siole who somehow got here.

Seeing Xia Duo, Niya took the initiative to say hello, "Xia Duo, you came just in time! We were just discussing a strange item that this drow carries with him. Come and take a look!"

"Oh? I want to see what can trouble you!"

Shado had just searched for traces of radiation left by drow in Savile Town. Although it didn't take much time, it was not too difficult for a mage with [Identification Technique] to know the function of an item.

Especially magic items cannot escape the test of [Appraisal Technique].

At first, Sha Duo thought they had found some kind of ordinary item, and it was difficult to determine its purpose. But when he saw the black ball that was obviously emitting magical light, Sha Duo realized that things might not be that simple.

So he said: "What is the result of your appraisal? It can't be completely inconclusive, right?"

The principle of [Identification Technique] is similar to the sandbox simulation in the computer field on earth. It can simulate the use status of magic items from the bottom. Although the specific details of the spell may not be known, the function can still be judged in general.

Regarding Xia Duo's doubts, Niya said with some irritation: "The identification result is that this black ball can emit weak sound waves in a specific direction. What is the use of this? But it is this black ball that Drow is most nervous about!"

"Have you already interrogated him? Didn't he say anything?" Xia Duo asked again.

"I asked a few simple questions, but he didn't say anything except filthy curses. Uncle Aibo asked him to shut up for the time being." At this point, Niya turned her head and glanced at Zhuo, who was unconscious in the prison. Well, there was an extremely disgusting emotion in his eyes.

"So you were just discussing the function of this black ball?"

"yes!"

"What's the result of the discussion?"

"I think this should be some kind of communication device, similar to [Wind Communication], that's why the drow was so nervous about the black ball, but Uncle Aibo thought it was an attack device, because of the sound wave Even though it’s weak, it still has a certain degree of aggression.”

As for the views of Cecily and Siole, Nia did not say, but from the expressions of the two of them when Chateau spoke, it was obvious that Cecily was on Nia's side, while Siole was more on the side. I lean towards Albock's point of view.

After hearing Niya's description of the black ball, Sha Duo couldn't help but think of a possibility, so he proposed to identify it himself. At the same time, he also asked Aibok to wake up the drow assassin.

In this way, even if he can't identify anything, he can still use mental spells to make the drow take the initiative to explain the problem.

Then, Xia Duo directly selected the highest level 5th ring [Identification] that he could master to cast the spell.

After all, when he and Nia were studying the Feld spell book, the 5th ring [Identification] was used the most, because he had to frequently check and confirm whether the bridge experiment of the spell book was in line with expectations, while the lower-level [Identification] was not actually used many times.

As the spell was completed, a field that looked like a ball of light, but was actually similar to the "sandbox simulation space" appeared instantly, completely enveloping the Black River.

As the ball of light gradually penetrated the black ball, Xia Duo gradually realized that a "simulated black ball" appeared in the field, and the spell level involved did not reach the 5th ring. The highest spell level involved in this black ball was only 3rd ring.

Afterwards, Xia Duo easily found the activation port of this black ball, which is the magic item switch in the general sense. At the same time, he also simulated the activation in the corresponding simulation field.

As Nia said, the black ball emitted a beam of flat cone-shaped sound waves in a specific direction, and the properties of the sound waves were also reflected in the simulated field, which was consistent with Shado's previous guess.

Just as he was preparing to simulate and integrate information multiple times, a series of shouting and cursing suddenly came from the prison next to him. Except for the lack of Netherese, Shado heard Elvish, Dwarven, and several languages ​​of obviously different styles.

The language changed repeatedly, and the content was not repeated at all.

Shado could only understand Elvish, but he had to say that this drow was really a language genius. In the Elvish language, any negative words that Shado could think of, could not think of, were straightforward, obscure, and came out of this drow's mouth.

Of course, Shado was not polite to him. He turned around and came to the prison and threw a [Shock] directly. However, this judgment spell from [Projected Plane·Arcane Empire] was ineffective against this drow assassin!

He was just slightly startled, and the subsequent shouting and cursing was even louder.
