One of the major features of Cupwood's version of Flash was that the source of this spell was the Magic Tower in someone's dream and had nothing to do with the power of the maze, so there wouldn't be any magic waves that regular detection spells could detect. This was also the reason why someone could cast Flash infinitely. … Probably. At least until now, someone still didn't know where the limits of the Magic Tower of Dreams were.
If someone could cast a spell of this level normally, he would probably be drained after a few uses.
It was precisely because Flash was too convenient that someone developed the function of continuous Flash to achieve the effect of levitation. His feet didn't need to touch the ground, which naturally reduced a lot of problems, such as triggering traps and alarms, and so on.
But doing so wasn't without side effects. Generally speaking, when an item entered and exited a high-dimensional world too many times without protection, it would decay due to too much pollution. In other words, if someone went too far, it wouldn't be long before he would have to run naked.
So, after confirming that it was safe to land, Lin obediently landed on the ground and nimbly stuck to the wall of the treehouse to listen for the movements inside.
If someone had taken the risk to walk through the maze, he would've scanned the area with sonar without saying a word.
But the weakness of that spell was also very obvious. When the enemy was discovered, as long as the enemy was sharp, he would also be discovered. Not to mention the various situations that would trigger detection spells, which would be no different from someone telling him that they were here.
So, Lin could only rely on his own senses to collect information. Fortunately, the auxiliary spells that improved his five senses still worked, so he didn't have to use this body that wasn't trained to do the work of a professional thief.
He stuck his ear to the wooden wall and eavesdropped on the sounds coming from inside. The treehouse built with the planks of the World Tree didn't exceed the limits of ordinary wooden planks in terms of blocking sound transmission. A certain someone had clearly heard the words of the elf inside. However, the novice didn't have much luck. At least, he didn't hear any valuable information. Only two members of the Divine Wood Guards were exchanging archery tips.
And in the process of waiting, the environmental detection magic program carved on the Magic Tower of Dreams also collected the surrounding materials and constructed a model of the terrain and scenery around him. This was a passive system spell built based on the Arcane Eye. The difference between the standard Arcane Eye spell cast by an individual and the one cast by an Arcane Eye was the distance of detection.
The Arcane Eye used in the Magic Tower had an accurate detection range of about a hundred kilometers. The gadget on the carriage had a detection range of about one kilometer to ten kilometers depending on the terrain. And the living Arcane Eye of Arcane Lin Huang used by the Magic Tower had a detection range of one meter to two meters....
Don't look at such a short distance. Just use your eyes and don't use any magic. The most valuable part of this detection program was that it used the air flow, the feedback of the detectable sound waves, the light and shadow, the radiant heat emitted by various living things, the power of magic, and many other variables to construct an environment model.
To put it bluntly, as long as it was within a certain person's detection range, even if it was a place that was invisible to the eyes, he would be able to construct an approximate environment model. Even if it was a completely enclosed place, it could still build a rough model. ..................... of...............................
Lin Huang originally wanted to develop such an ability, but it didn't seem to be useful. In the wild, he relied on the carriage to use the Arcane Eye. When he entered a building or a maze, he directly scanned with sonar and opened the map first. Who would have thought that this seemingly useless detection method would be able to shine so brilliantly when doing such a petty thing? At least this method wouldn't cause any magic resonance like the magic of the Maze.
Judging from the internal structure of the treehouse, the layout was very simple, and there wasn't even a bed. There were a few wooden shelves against the wall. Judging from the outline, spear weapons were probably placed on them. It felt just as Lin Huang guessed. This was a sentry tower that could be used to monitor and attack the ground. But it seemed that there was nothing else of value, so Lin Huang flashed again.
Avoiding using the ropeway to move, Lin Huang explored the places that the elves didn't want outsiders to enter under the patrol of the Divine Wood Guards.
While a certain someone was exploring the entire area, he avoided the patrol members who were in groups of two or three. Lin even purposely compared their appearances in the dark. Although the members of the Divine Wood Guards all wore hoods and masks to cover their mouths and noses, he could still more or less identify and compare them from the characteristics of their eyes, eyebrows, and nose bridge, as well as the ears that were occasionally exposed.
Unsurprisingly, most of the patrol members who went in and out of here and climbed up and down had never appeared on the ground. That was to say, other than the 73 elves that had appeared on the ground, there were 31 unrecorded individuals that could be compared here. However, it was still a far cry from the two hundred and thirteen people that Li Ena had mentioned.
Was he hiding in a deeper place? Or was there another mission that was not in the domain of the World Tree at all?
Just as Lin Huang was thinking, a warning window popped up in his field of vision, indicating that there was a high-level figure approaching from the corner behind him. But he just happened to be in the position of a passage that looked like a tree hole. Apart from the entrance and exit in front of him, there was no other place to hide as far as he could see.
Should he try his luck and flash outside the passage, hoping that he would be able to hide in a place where he could hide, or should he try the magic that he had only imagined and had never tested before?
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lin Huang did not have time to think and directly jumped into the high-dimensional world to hide.
Because Flash had always been random, Lin Huang did not know what kind of place he would be in. This was also the first time he had taken the initiative to jump in but did not find an exit to return to the real world. The high-dimensional world that he had entered this time had no color, only monotonous gray. To be more precise, it was all sorts of gradations from white to black.
It would be very interesting to observe reality from this high-dimensional world. This was because if one saw someone walking in the real world, it would just be a person walking. However, if one were to look at reality from the high-dimensional world that someone was in right now, one would be able to see the afterimage behind the person and the footsteps that were about to move in front of the person. It was like watching an animation that did not clear the previous frame, and the characters kept overlapping.
Unfortunately, in the high-dimensional world, he could not hear the sounds of the real world. This was because the two people walking side by side were clearly in the middle of a conversation. In particular, one of them was a key target that Lin Huang paid special attention to — — Ronan Peterson. The contents of his conversation would naturally attract Lin Huang's attention.
But before that, he had to pass through a hurdle first. Lin Huang stood close to the wall, holding his breath and pulling in his lower abdomen. He did his best to let the two people walking side by side pass without touching him. Although he did not know the reason for the interference between reality and the high-dimensional world, Lin Huang still hoped to reduce the variables as much as possible.
Ronan, the elven Extraordinaire, was not like the other members of the Divine Wood Guard who would cover his face. The hood hung behind him, and at the same time, he tied up his long wavy hair, giving this resolute looking old man a bit more of a neat feeling. According to Lin Huang's experience, people with this kind of facial features were the most troublesome.
The so-called appearance was born from the heart. The study of facial features passed down by the ancestors, excluding the part of predicting the future, still had some truth. The so-called first impression was actually just a person looking at their own life, what kind of person might have a different personality, and a summary of whether or not they could get along.
The elven Extraordinaire in front of Lin Huang gave Lin Huang the impression of being stubborn. He was the type who would not turn back until he hit a wall. Simply speaking, he was super troublesome. It was the same whether he was a good person or a bad person.
The elf walking side by side with Ronan was a bit smaller in stature. Although he did not wear a hood, he had a mask covering his face. But just the look in his eyes gave people a feeling of shrewdness. It was hard for people to forget him after seeing him. But this elf had an impatient expression, as if he was complaining about something to Luo Nan. And this Extraordinaire of the Divine Wood Guard seemed to be advising his companion. Unfortunately, Lin Huang could not hear anything.
Lin Huang only dared to jump out from the high-dimensional world when Luo Nan and his companion had walked quite a distance away. Lin Huang did not want to test the degree of sharpness of their five senses when the two elements of being an Extraordinaire and an elf were added together.
Lin Huang returned to reality and squatted on the ground. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed that the method of application of this spell could successfully deceive elven experts at the Extraordinaire level. Then it was worth doing more research and perfecting.
As for the name, Lin Huang could only think of one: Uncle Snake's Cardboard Box Spell. In any case, it seemed that this spell had no reference value to people who could not use Blink. So it was fine to name it for fun.
Suddenly, a large red warning signal appeared in the corner of his field of vision. Lin Huang quickly jumped back into the high-dimensional world. He saw the companion of the Extraordinaire jump back into the passageway in which Luo Nan and the other elves had left. The companion of the Extraordinaire was mumbling something.
Had he been discovered?
But Lin Huang was still standing in the middle of the passageway. He had not left. Although the elf had jumped back to look for him, his gaze had only swept past Lin Huang's position. It seemed that the elf had sensed that someone was there, but he could not see Lin Huang. This should be a good thing, right?
Lin Huang originally thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief. But right under his eyes, the elf who had run back to search jumped and entered the world on another level. This made Lin Huang's entire heart jump. He was afraid that the elf had seen him. But the situation was the same as the two elves in the real world. The elf walking in the world on the other level still walked past Lin Huang's side, but he was completely unaware of Lin Huang.
Lin Huang waited for the elf, who had searched to no avail, to leave. He waited for quite a while before jumping back into the real world. Lin Huang was gasping for air. His chest was jumping up and down. He was trying hard to think of where he had revealed a flaw. This caused the elf to become vigilant. He turned back and did a more thorough search.
… … Lin Huang reached out and pressed his hand against his chest. His heart was full of vitality. It seemed that it would not suddenly stop beating for several decades. But under the circumstances before his eyes, his heart was too lively.
Sure enough, there was a gap between professionals and non-professionals when it came to spying. Not everyone could become Ethan Han Te just by getting the equipment in the movie 'Impossible Mission'. And Lin Huang was unable to calm down his excited mood. It seemed that it was not the time to continue investigating this area. So Lin Huang used Blink and returned to the camp on the ground.
