Eastern Illusion.
As the birthplace of the monks, the Eastern Kingdom's Illusion was not like the Western World, which was mostly mastered by wizards (illusionists). Many of the people here who were proficient in Illusion were combat professions, among which the Oriental Dancer was good at using Illusion. Many Illusions were illusions, but when one's strength reached a certain level, the illusions would be real. Even the Bards who played tricks would not be much worse than the orthodox spellcasters after advancing to a certain level. The Oriental Dancer could master the ability of 'Mirror Image' after advancing to a legendary level.
Søren did not dare to make any moves, but waited quietly for the other party to make a move, looking for an opportunity.
The woman who attacked him was very strong.
She was at least a high-grade profession, and there was a possibility that she was a legendary because she obviously had not done her best.
"Ring!"
The crisp sound of the bell rang, which seemed to resonate with the heartbeat of people. For a moment, Søren was a little dazed, but he quickly recovered. At the same time, three phantoms appeared in front of him again. They were wearing light silk dresses and dancing lightly. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, they were full of endless charm. These three charming figures were not in a hurry to attack, but surrounded Søren and made a burst of crisp laughter, as if they enjoyed the feeling of fooling the enemy.
"Shadow Leap!"
"Sword Form [Spinning Strike]!"
Soran's figure leaped out, and the scimitar in his hand turned into a cold light as he slashed down. The three figures in front of him chuckled, dodged slightly, and then waved their daggers to stab at him.
"Dang!
Dang! "The three figures were all real, and they directly blocked Søren's attack.
"Mirror Image!?"
Søren frowned, and his expression was quite serious. Enemies who could master the ability of Mirror Image, even if they were not legendary, would not be too far away.
Where was the real body?
The combat power of Mirror Image was very low, less than one-third of the real body. Even the legendary Sword Saint who practiced Mirror Image could only retain half of his strength at most. These three mirror images did not pose much threat to Søren, but the Oriental Dancer hiding in the dark was very dangerous. Søren had not been threatened by this kind of enemy who was proficient in stealth for a long time.
What was that smell?
Just when Soran was a little at a loss about the enemy's position, his nose suddenly twitched, and then a light burst out of his eyes. He leaped toward the position of the bed.
"Shadowstrike!"
"Sword Form [Beheading]!"
Fragrance.
There was a faint fragrance in the room. It was the fragrance of a woman.
Clang!
The sound of weapons clashing could be heard. A pair of snake-shaped daggers suddenly appeared, and a slim figure was forced to reveal herself. She was sent flying a meter away by Søren's explosive force and crashed into the wall of the room.
"Oh!"
The hazy shadow gradually became clear, and the figure of the Oriental Dancer appeared. She said in a painful voice, "Wait a minute! Stop! I admit defeat! So painful! … "
"Bastard!"
"I admit defeat! Don't fight anymore! "
Søren's eyes were cold, and his fierce offensive did not stop at all. After the Sword Form [Beheading], he immediately slashed out horizontally. At the same time, he shouted and launched the Sword Form [Spinning Strike], sealing all the blind spots of the opponent.
Every move was fatal!
Although the opponent had admitted defeat, Søren did not mean to stop.
"Shunpo!"
The Oriental Dancer's face finally changed. She finally knew what a dangerous enemy she had provoked. She turned around to avoid it. Her slender waist was almost folded in half. Her amazing flexibility allowed her to avoid Soran's attack. At the same time, her figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Soran.
"Stop!"
The Oriental Dancer jumped back and said anxiously, "I'm just testing your skills! Not an enemy! I'm going to join your team to earn some money, so I'm here to test you! … "
"Wait a minute!"
"We've met before! In the Adventurers' Guild! "
"Clang!"
The sound of weapons colliding sounded again. Søren frowned and took back his curved sword. He looked at the opponent coldly and said in a deep voice, "Take off your veil."
When the Oriental Dancer saw him stop, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She first gasped for breath, then frowned and looked at her arm. On her bare white arm, there was a faint bloodstain. If she had not dodged fast enough, she would have been cut in half by the man in front of her. The Oriental Dancer looked at Søren with a strange expression, and then slowly took off her veil, revealing a beautiful face with an exotic oriental style. There was a small mole at the corner of her eye.
Søren looked at the woman in front of him, and his memory ran quickly. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Who is the Oriental Princess to you?"
The Oriental Princess!?
Søren's words made the woman's face change greatly. She clenched the snake-shaped dagger in an instant and said in a nervous voice, "Who are you? Why do you know this? "
Sure enough, it had something to do with the Oriental Princess!
Søren couldn't help but think of a beautiful figure, which made him touch his ear subconsciously.
After he advanced to the legendary rank, he traveled the whole continent and fought with countless legendary powerhouses. He even fought with the incarnations of the gods several times, but he was defeated by a mysterious woman from the East. Not only did he fail the mission, but he also lost nearly one-third of the people in the team. In the end, he also lost one of his ears.
If he had been a little slower at that time, he would not have lost an ear, but his whole head!
The Oriental Princess.
She was an advanced dancer with a profession level of 30 +. She was proficient in illusion, mirror image, charm and other abilities. She was good at sneaking, assassination, and inquiring about information. She secretly controlled many brothels in the Eastern Kingdom. No one knew her true identity, and her alignment could not be judged. She had a very special thing in her hand. It was said that it was a divine artifact passed down from the Eastern Kingdom, which could make people have an ageless face and a long life.
"Say it."
Søren's eyes were slightly cold. He held the hilt again and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
The Oriental Dancer in front of him had a complicated expression. She didn't seem to understand why a person from the western part of the continent would know the existence of the Oriental Princess. She took a step back gently. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "I really just intend to test your skills. I just received information that in the underground ruins you are going to, there is something that Her Excellency is also very interested in."
"So I was ordered to take it out."
"I mean no harm! Otherwise, I would have used the Ecstasy Powder before you entered the room. "
Ecstasy Powder.
The effective means of the Oriental Dancer could sometimes even defeat legendary powerhouses.
"What is it?"
Søren frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you didn't come here to test my skills, but to steal the information of the underground ruins from me, right?"
It seemed that Søren was right. The Oriental Dancer in front of him seemed to be avoiding his eyes.
During this time, she had been secretly observing Søren's actions and found that many of his preparations seemed to be for certain specific situations. This made her very sure that Søren had specific information about the underground ruins in his hands. If he didn't know the general situation in the underground ruins, he would never deliberately prepare so many things.
The Oriental Dancer didn't speak. It seemed that she acquiesced to this point. Then she said, "There is one thing in this underground ruins. It is a gem left behind by the Desert Kingdom. My task is to find it. As for the other things, I don't want them. If you think it's okay, maybe we can cooperate. "
"Since you know the existence of Her Excellency, you should also know our strength."
"With our help, it will be much easier for you to explore the underground ruins, and we also need your information about that place. After all, there is a terrible Balor Demon sealed below."
The other party's words made Søren fall into deep thought.
For people like Søren, there were basically no eternal enemies. He could even deal with the unpredictable and sinister Drows and cooperate with them many times. Now it was not impossible to cooperate with the Oriental Dancer in front of him.
However!
He couldn't believe the woman in front of him, just like he never believed the promise of the Drows.
The people of the Oriental Dancer would not be easier to deal with than the female Drows!
However, their strength might still be able to be borrowed. Søren was used to the insidiousness and cunning of the Drows, so even if the woman in front of him was not very trustworthy, he was still confident in his heart.
It was nothing more than using each other and relying on their own means at the critical moment.
Although Søren suffered a loss in the hands of the Drows, in the end, he was also fiercely stabbed by her. When it came to playing tricks, Søren had some confidence in his heart.
"Okay!"
Søren looked at the other party, nodded unexpectedly, and said in a deep voice, "We will set off the day after tomorrow! I still need something. Maybe you can help me get it. "
The Oriental Dancer didn't seem to expect Søren to agree so quickly, but in the end, she smiled and nodded gently. She turned her eyes and said, "No problem."
"The things you want will be delivered tomorrow."
…
Things seemed to be settled like this.
Søren finally decided to set off the day after tomorrow, and in the group of cannon fodder, there was an additional Oriental Dancer above high grade, as well as some people she brought with her. Although Søren could not know everything about the situation in the underground ruins, after all, there was a cloak that was like a divine artifact for Rogues, so he remembered the general situation and the distribution of areas inside more clearly. In this case, he had the geographical advantage. Even if there was an accident, he had more than a 50% chance.
So.
On the morning of the third day, this group of adventurers set off on the road to the ancient ruins with nearly a hundred people and materials close to a caravan.
Before everything began!
Søren must find the right excavation site and open a passage into the ancient ruins.
