Blood of Mercury

Vol 2 Chapter 45: Difficult to guard against thieves

Roland decided to strike first.

Now that it has been determined that Richero's city master will take care of himself, Roland must not sit idly by.

In any case, at least get the first move.

Of course, such behavior will undoubtedly expose Roland to some risks. Because Roland didn't know how much the city owner of Richero knew about him, rashly attacking might fall into a well-laid trap.

Although Roland has a leader template, this does not mean that Roland will not be killed.

Because he has never been attacked so far, Roland doesn't know whether he, who has the system, calculates the damage according to the algorithm in the game or what.

In the Land of the Gods, all undetected attacks are regarded as sneak attacks. The floating damage defaults to the maximum value, half of the defense power is ignored, and then multiplied by a factor of 2 to 6 according to the level of the sneak attack feature.

The main reason why the Hand of Radiance that Roland met before he crossed over was able to kill their team by himself. The main reason was that all the attacks of the Hand of Radiance must be sneak attacks. Coupled with the 3+6=9 damage factor of Assassination Master and Legendary Weakness Strike, Roland, as a sub-tank, was instantly killed by an elbow and a backstab... Even Yaoguang was only stacked one layer.

Although normal stalkers don't have this level of terrible damage, if they play well, they can still kill in seconds, especially when facing enemies below the golden rank.

This is also the reason why there are still a large number of stealth-type occupations in this world where occupations with the main perception attribute are all sons.

According to Roland, there are only three professions in this world: the masters who cast spells, the cannon fodder who protect the masters, and the mob who assassinate the masters.

Although with Roland's perception attributes, ordinary stalkers would be discovered by him when they approached him - but in fact, if Roland was to assassinate himself, he could do it at his current level.

Since you can use the perception attribute to counter stealth. So in the same way, there must be some kind of stealth technique that can counter the perception attribute. There is no absolute invincible skill in this world, even the twilight dependents who have all kinds of indestructible immortality will die one day.

But Roland had plenty of confidence in his actions.

The city of Richero is not unfamiliar to Roland. Roland once lived here for half a month. And also entered Orwell's private bedroom. He was fully aware of the structures inside and the triggers of some traps.

To Roland, this secret fortress, which was enough to easily kill silver-level stalkers, was like a fishing net, full of loopholes—

Roland glanced at the distribution of patrolling guards from a distance. He shook his head and gave up the plan to break in from the front.

There must be three of his colleagues in the field of vision of each patrol guard, and each of them is stared at by at least two people. Like iron powder scattered in the magnetic field, it is loosely distributed around the City Lord's Mansion.

Their positions are not very dense. If you let an experienced stalker look at it, you can see the gap at a glance.

But Roland knew that it was not a loophole in the design, but an obvious trap.

Because the loopholes in this seemingly perfect surveillance system are quite deliberate and obvious, stalkers will inevitably be more vigilant when crossing these blind spots. Get up and pay attention to your surroundings.

But these stalkers don't know it. The Earl of Orwell wanted them to do just that.

Once they focus on their surroundings, they are fooled.

Druid's runes are carved in some dark places, hiding them with thick shadows, and people's eyes can trigger these runes as long as they are swept away.

Once a certain number of runes are triggered continuously in a short period of time, it can be concluded that this person has bad intentions - after all, a person who has no ghosts in his heart will not keep looking at those dark corners where people can hide.

In order to prevent inadvertently offending someone, they will not be inflicted any kind of damage, but will be lost directly into the sight of those patrols.

This is a great divine art called Mystery Lock. This divine art does not belong to the enchantment class divine art, so no matter how high the will attribute is, it is still meaningless in the face of this divine art check.

It can be said that in the magical type of protection and sealing. Mystery is the highest level of magic.

Although the judgment conditions of the Mystery Lock are extremely harsh, once a certain harsh cycle condition is reached, the Mystery Lock will be established on its own. The existence inside is locked in indefinitely - unless there is a problem with the stability of the labyrinth, the cycle is broken, and the people inside will be released. Although there is a slight difference in scale, this magic is actually exactly the same as the oak mystical lock that trapped the plague beast Del Ramos.

And because the mysterious lock itself has no lethal power, it is only to lead people to another way, so it will not give those sneakers an ominous premonition. If those infiltrators are not malicious, they will not be killed directly.

Although this is not as threatening as a simple lethal trap, it can save Earl Orwell a lot. Most people in this world are more troublesome to kill than not to kill.

However, Roland knew. The Mystery Lock set by the Earl of Orwell has a fatal flaw - that is, it can only be triggered by sight.

Roland remembered that there were a total of 220 runes on the outer wall. There are more than 500 runes inside the house. Arguably, if no one takes it. Anyone can get lost in an instant and be led to a specific location within the surveillance range like a puppet. But there are nearly 800 runes, and what they have in common is that they can only be triggered by sight.

Orwell himself was naturally aware of this flaw. Therefore, he specially designed the internal structure of his home to be very complicated, and also arranged some more retro traps.

But his set of defense facilities obviously ignored the setting of "house thief"——

In the whole of Richero, except for Orwell himself, no one knew the terrain of his home better than Roland.

Roland closed his eyes and didn't even need to use his peripheral vision to confirm. He moved forward quickly based on experience.

From a dark corner, he entered the patrol's blind spot. Those patrolling members obviously knew the characteristics of Orwell's house. Although they saw Roland deliberately walked into the dark alley, they didn't care.

They knew that Roland would come back sooner or later.

What Roland has to do is simple. It was to kidnap Earl Orwell and investigate whether he really had anything to do with the devil.

Of course, it is impossible to assassinate Earl Orwell~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He was ordered by the Marquis of Sayyar. As long as things don't get serious, Marquis Sayyar will fight against him. Everyone knew that this person was under the command of the Marquis of Saya. Even Count Orwell himself could not focus his hatred on Roland.

But if Roland really killed him, the nature of the matter would change.

The death of a nobleman will surely usher in a series of huge changes. No matter what it ends up being, there are bound to be large numbers of people whose interests will be affected in the early stages of change.

At that time, someone must come out and take the blame.

If Marquis Saya wasn't stupid, he naturally couldn't have jumped out. The only person to blame could be Roland himself.

And Roland is a foreigner after all.

Unless Roland wanted to muddy the water, he definitely couldn't hurt Earl Orwell. Even if something happened to him, Roland had to protect him instead. (To be continued.)
