Chapter 484: Inexplicable secret

Because of the existence of magic, many times the defense system of buildings must take it into consideration.
Oulu City’s Command Mansion covers a huge area, and it also has another title in Oulu City-Inner City.
In the inner city, the gate alone occupies almost an entire street, and the other three outer walls have dug a "moat" of five to six meters wide. Not to mention the various guard towers densely packed in the city, just a few hundred steps away from the arrow tower on the edge of the wall. If Oulu City is really captured one day, this inner city will be able to sustain it for a while.
The inner city itself is divided into a front yard and a back yard.
The front yard is naturally the place where many official departments of the alliance are stationed, while the back yard is the office and residence that governs Tang De.
With regard to the five-ring spell of "Transportation", the Commanding Mansion complex was considered at the beginning of the design.
Not to mention the "flying technique" from the sky, the "stone walking technique" from digging tunnels, and various "exploration techniques", "hawkeye technique", "sharp ear technique" and other secret stealing methods.
Just to defend against the magic, what you have to face is the contradiction between the duration of the spell, the scope of action, and the difficulty of maintenance.
It is just like the solid wood floor in the home. Sometimes it is chosen because of the cost. It is only installed in the bedroom or even the master bedroom.
The Northern Alliance has been operating for many years, but it is not that it is impossible to achieve, but based on the pure cost-effective issue, it has its own focus on the deployment of the entire commander house.
The most critical first-level defense areas, such as the office areas of key departments and the residences of the commanding houses, are naturally the means to prohibit transmission and detection.
As for some open-air courtyards, ordinary corridors, etc., they simply deploy detection and transmission methods.
Once someone sends in to trigger the "spell monitoring network", the resident wizard group stationed in the command mansion will cooperate with the guards to round up.
In previous life, Zhao Xu relied on Frei's recommendation reason to participate in the defense system of the Commander's Mansion.
When Wang Ningwei took the Earth Mission to attend, he was acting as a guard and security officer, and looked shocked in the audience.
Naturally, Zhao Xu also knew the weaknesses of this extremely huge "spell monitoring network".
The first point is the "intermittent period" of the regular restart of the magic network. He can't wait now and naturally don't think about it.
The second point is its own systemic flaws. Under the huge scope of the "spell monitoring network" itself, it involves issues of mutual influence and interference.
So there are several key blind spots that are unknown.
Even the division of the Mage Association of the Northern Alliance could not test every corner one by one with all its energies, which left a "flaw" for this seemingly impervious command mansion.
Zhao Xu clearly remembered that when he first arrived at the Commander's Mansion in his previous life, a critical "loophole" happened at that time.
So in those few days, their team was stationed to guard the area 24 hours a day, waiting until the wizards repaired it.
Now that this point has not yet been exposed, Zhao Xu can make perfect use of it.
He easily teleported to the basement of the sentry tower where he had guarded for three days in his previous life.
however.
As soon as Zhao Xu had just completed the teleportation, he heard this cry with a startled tone, and the whole person became tense, like a cat with explosive hair.
Although it sounds familiar, Zhao Xu's vision has not been restored because of the transmission, and there is darkness in front of him.
Zhao Xu raised the instant scepter in his hand on the spot, twisted his waist sideways, and pointed the tip of the stick in the direction of the sound.
It's just that he seemed to be aiming at the opponent to cast a spell, but his mouth revealed another spell.
"Rapid burst."
At this extremely urgent moment, Zhao Xu decided to cast this spell after thinking about it.
He wants to get the inevitable "first hand", so as not to fall into the situation of being attacked in the next few seconds.
In his previous life, he was paralyzed by being called out, but in fact the long sword had been stabbed near his waist.
Zhao Xu had already thought very clearly in his mind. After gaining a mark of time, wait until he regained his vision to see who is in front of him.
If you know each other well, then nothing happens naturally.
If not, it means he was exposed this time by sneaking. At that time, he will cast the spell "touch of chills" to subdue the opponent, or if there are too many people, he will use teleportation to escape.
however.
The sense of stagnation that Zhao Xu had expected did not come as promised, and the hands on the mechanical clock were still ticking around ruthlessly.
[Adventurer Midsummer, your spell "Swift Burst" was countered by the target, and you lost the spell. 】
How could it be possible that such an incredible idea suddenly popped into Zhao Xu's mind.
He casts a spell entirely intuitively!
General mages want to target him unless they give up other actions at the beginning, and are prepared to "counter spells".
Otherwise, it will be too late to think about it when he casts the spell.
But how does the other party know that he has transmitted, and achieve this kind of "preparation"?
Slowly, Zhao Xu's eyes gradually opened. In this dimly dim basement, he leaned on a faint oil lamp to barely see the appearance of the person before him.
"call."
Zhao Xu finally put down a piece of the big rock in his heart.
"Tutor Antinoya."
Zhao Xu couldn't help asking, "We should be quite familiar, so we won't make a sound of shock when we see me."
At the moment, standing where Zhao Xu's eyes were, it was Antinoya, who was wearing a brocade-patterned robe and a dark gold cloak of secret secrets. It is obvious that her craftsmanship has increased a lot recently, and the patterns are much more complicated.
Antinoya also looked at Zhao Xu softly at this time.
"I'm thinking, since we reunited after a long absence, I should show a sense of surprise." Antinoya said.
That's obviously a shock.
Zhao Xu thought to himself, but he was still very honest, "Then I am really moved by the tutor."
"Well, but you performed well this time. Even if you heard a familiar voice, you made a decisive move first, and didn't give up the initiative. With this kind of cleverness, I won't be going to the turbulent city of Oulu next. Collect the body for you."
"Then you were countered by your mentor." Zhao Xu was also a little embarrassed, feeling that since recently, Antinoya's praise frequency for him has increased a lot.
"Stupid, you don't want to think about who I am." Antinoya snorted softly.
"Then mentor, you just countered my spell, did you use ‘Insight into the Warfare’?" Zhao Xu couldn’t help asking.
Insight into tactics, this three-ring spell can last 10 minutes per level. With Zhao Xu's current caster level, coupled with the "Spell Delay" specialty, it can easily break through seven or eight hours.
As long as his three-ring spell is generous, he can be mounted as a permanent spell.
Insight into tactics can automatically let him know that there is a spell cast within tens of meters. If he has a line of sight to see the opponent, he can also know the specific spell through the spell identification.
But the most important thing is that he can choose to dissipate the remaining duration and directly use a "free action" to counter the opponent's spell.
Without "preparation"!
Therefore, as long as Zhao Xu stays with this spell, he is not afraid of being threatened by close-range spells, which is equivalent to an efficient spell radar.
Coupled with his "swift burst", it can also counterattack a wave of first moves.
He was a little embarrassed just now before trying to take the lead, but Antinoya backhanded again, countering his spell.
This is also the normal state of high-end mage warfare, gradually targeting each spell cast by the opponent.
The opponent casts a spell, and he "intuitively" moves "restrained" this time.
As a result, the opponent also "intuitively" acted "restrained" him this time.
This kind of back and forth matryoshka will often cause the outside world to seem to have not spent a second, but there have been dozens of private confrontations between the two mages.
"The spell you mentioned is only a one-time opportunity once you decide to start the dissipated energy'countermeasure'. I have to make up for another'Insight Warfare' immediately, so I generally don't dissipate this spell first. Countermeasures." Antinoya explained.
The implication is that Zhao Xu's "spell action" is not complicated enough, so she needs to use backup means.
She has, but not necessary.
"So fierce?"
"Midsummer, your journey to the mage is still very long." Antinoya said, "but I can tell you the direction of this effort."
"Basically, as long as I want to, no one can successfully cast spells in front of me."
Zhao Xu couldn't help but open his pupils slightly.
Each wizard can only counter one spell per round.
Therefore, in a mage battle, if one more mage abandons the spell and prepares to act "counter-spell", it is also very disgusting.
"Midsummer, you can only counter the spell once per round because you can only "prepare" once to cast the spell against the opponent."
"Once the opponent does not cast a spell, then your countermeasures will also fail. Although the spell will not be wasted, the synchronization of the body makes it impossible for you to cast it."
Zhao Xu nodded his head after hearing this. Spell countermeasures, which is a tasteless way of action, is also the reason that spell countermeasures are not common in their low-end games.
"Furthermore, to counter a spell, you have to prepare the same spell to counter it. Generally, unless the mainstream spell is commonly prepared by everyone, it is generally difficult to encounter the opportunity to take effect." Zhao Xu said.
However, he also knows that no matter how unusable the "spell countermeasure" is, it is another solution to the "mage splitting technique".
It is equivalent to the universal "offset spell" of the wizards.
"Instructor, is there any advancement that has special bonuses to spell countermeasures?"
At this time, Zhao Xu couldn't help but think about it.
In the future, if someone tries to cast a spell in front of him, he will counteract it without saying anything.
Without his permission, no one can cast spells.
This is pretending to be invisible.
Especially Zhao Xu has unlimited spell slots, and relying on "multi-talented spellcaster" and "bizarre seer" can counteract without preparing corresponding spells.
"Hehe." Antinoya smiled triumphantly at this time, "This is based on expertise."
"Specialty?" Zhao Xu was surprised.
He now has at least four or five more specialties than the average person, which is a bit more generous.
"Strictly speaking, it is a chain of expertise," Antinoya explained.
"For example, the'Proficient Counter-Spells' feat can be countered with higher-level spells of the same faction, without being restricted to the same spells."
"Another example is the'Passive Counter Spells' specialty, which allows me to counteract when I notice you casting a spell without having to prepare in advance."
"Another example is the legendary specialty'Legendary Counter Spells', which allows me to counter spells an unlimited number of times per round."
"As for the three I just mentioned with you, they are all progressive relationships. You must learn the first feat before you can learn the next feat. Even the legendary feat requires you to be proficient in initiative and combat. The three fronts of reflection and spell are instant."
After hearing Antinoya's mention, Zhao Xu couldn't help but be speechless.
This legendary counter-spell directly requires five common specialties as prerequisites, but Zhao Xu has mastered both combat reflexes and instant spells.
On the premise of being able to maintain no decompression of the low-level mage, the cost of its own realization is extremely huge.
You must know that depending on the level of expertise, from level 1 to level 20, that adds up to seven specialties.
But Zhao Xu still prepared silently in his heart.
It can also be regarded as a certain chain of expertise in the future.
And Zhao Xu thought for a while, and went back to the original question, "Tutor, why are you here?"
It is said that because he does not have the spell of "mind barrier", he can't avoid the detection and detection spells, and can only sneak in by finding the "black spots" that are controlled.
But as far as Antinoya is concerned, even if the kingdom of the gods is in front of her, she still has the courage to rush in, so she won't find something like Zhao Xu.
"Didn't I tell you before, the leader of this alliance, Donde, believes in Grazt?"
Zhao Xu immediately reacted, "Instructor, what do you mean is that the magic monitoring network in this area is strange, there are traces of Grazite?"
"That's right, otherwise how dare I conclude that Dunde and Grazt are related. Although it is not obvious, I vaguely noticed that these defensive reconnaissance spells are integrated into Grazt's little abyssal powers. That's why I follow the vines. I found out the inner reason for this."
"The divine power on the'Spell Surveillance Network' is extremely weak and can't play a defensive role at all, so the priests of Oulu City didn't realize this. But this is enough to remind Douglazt of what power has entered here."
"If a mage with a ‘mind barrier’ rushes to a non-critical point by virtue of the effect of immunity, although the monitoring of the magic network will not detect it, the Grazt behind the scenes can detect the movement of the network."
Zhao Xu couldn't help nodding after hearing this. Antinoya didn't want to be discovered by Grazt, so like Zhao Xu, sneaked into this black spot before proceeding.
It seems that he came in according to the black spot of the surveillance network, and that was really a mistake.
"Actually, I am also quite strange." Antinoya said, "What is the secret that makes Grazite also monitor this ground, even I suspect that it has transformed the leader of the alliance into him. Believers, for this reason."
"Generally speaking, these abyss lord development believers ~EbookFREE.me~ are all striving for secrecy. Such lord-level powerhouses are difficult to subdue without breaking through the weakness of the soul. Even if they succeed successfully, they can easily be exposed. .",
"In other words, if you don't want to be exposed, you have to consume more resources of Grazt, which is not cost-effective."
Zhao Xu nodded. It should be that he was also thinking about the internal reasons.
The thoughts in his mind slowly led to the "Battle of Demons" that affected all forces north of the entire Ice Mountain Range in the previous life.
The initial cause of that war was countless "portals" that directly communicated the abyss and purgatory.
The powerhouse in the hell, the deep purgatory, does not have the ability to teleport to other worlds. If they want to reach "Arthur", they have to rely on the once-a-year "pray technique" to simulate "transport to another world." Spells.
If you want to go back afterwards, you will have to wait for the "pray technique" to cool down next year.
For the lower-level demons and demons, coming to the "Arthur" where the delicious soul can be seen everywhere, that is a more eager but unattainable thing.
"It is said that you are here to detonate this, as a reward for the'Howard Luxury Bedding' and the'Ascension Cross', but I still have to arrange it here first after all."
"I don't want your soul to be swept away by the abyss, when I came to the door to search for the soul, that would be really shameful."
Zhao Xu opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't expect Antinoya to disappear before coming here to bury his backs.
Antinoya frowned slightly, "I want to ask you about Midsummer."
"I directly found the ‘spell defense plan’ of this commander’s mansion, and then I calculated some flaws in it, and found this kind of penetration point."
"What about you?" Antinoya looked at Zhao Xu interestingly.
"How do you know that you will not be discovered if you teleport to the basement of this tower?"
