Reading other people's thoughts? Mind reading? How do you have this power? Is it the influence of a certain divine spell? Or is it magic?
And when this knowledge appeared, more voices began to come from all directions - the words in everyone's hearts seemed to start to sound at the same time. For a while, the hunter's mind was filled with various things. Such chaotic thoughts, mixed with high and low, come and go, making the pain that began to dissipate become clearer again!
The terrifying torrent made Edward hold his head in his hands.
He set his sights on the beautiful ring on the middle finger of his left hand and the pattern below it that extended to the entire back of his hand - now that he had almost nothing, it seemed that this was the only thing that could have such an impact.
Since the end of that teleportation, the two days of trekking through the forest and the headaches that came from time to time, he was hardly distracted from thinking about the many trophies he got from the last adventure, especially this ring - after all, this is One made him experience a dream when he got it for the first time, and it was something that could be perfectly hidden not only by ordinary people, but also by the terrifying aberrant lich. No matter how you think about it, it had a great background.
But this ring is definitely very stubborn.
Usually for the convenience of use, magic items only need to be poured into a certain amount of mental power when they are opened to stimulate the effect. However, the more advanced they are, the higher the requirements for the intensity and control of mental power; but some relatively advanced things, It requires some special secret words to activate it, just like this ring. Edward has also tried to contact it. Unfortunately, every time, his mental power is blocked like an ordinary piece of metal. He is unable to get in. Shake it every bit.
So what is the reason that inspired it now? Or is this not the result of the ring?
Calming his breathing, and reluctantly gathering his spirit from the noisy heartbeat, Edward carefully tried to explore the source of power... It was like going back to the time when he first tried to use magic items. Relax, Gathering, expanding... He slowly tried, trying to control this change.
After a few short breaths, the terrible headache finally subsided slowly again.
But obviously, this control was not very successful. As the headache gradually subsided, the connection began to gradually become blurred, and the scope was rapidly narrowing.
Yes, range - that is a strange intuition, and there is no special evidence, but Edward somehow knows that with himself as the center, there is a circular range, which is very large, and at least Covering a radius of several hundred feet, I can hear the voices of almost all living creatures within this circle.
And at the edge of the shrinking range, some noisy sounds are slowly gathering.
"Hey! Little girl, do something! Your treatment is of no use at all, you... ugh!"
The slightly distorted look on the hunter's face made him stomp his feet. However, the dwarf was obviously at a loss to do anything about this matter. His anxious rebuke also turned into a low and insignificant complaint midway. He looked at the half-elf girl. The sheen of another divine magic shrouded Edward, but it didn't seem to alleviate the situation. He could only pull his beard fiercely, making the brass rings jingle.
Fortunately, the young hunter quickly raised his hand in a 'don't worry' gesture.
"It seems that we have new guests... there are quite a few of them... I think it's best for everyone to make some preparations - they are coming with bad intentions. They are already close to within five hundred feet."
Edward's expression gradually calmed down as his breathing stabilized. He slowly raised his head, but there seemed to be no focus in his pupils, and he just spoke almost to himself.
"Which direction? How many people are there?" The dwarf picked up the spear and ax next to him. After experiencing the previous adventure, he had considerable trust in the words and deeds of the young hunter - especially in the forest.
middle.
However, the half-elves around him did not react as quickly as he did - they were still in a resting state, they just exchanged a few glances with each other, and several of them also held their weapons, but
The direction to be wary of was obviously the dwarf holding a big axe.
They are not ignorant farmers or novices. How to guard the area around the resting place is the basic skill of the mercenaries. They may not be so complacent that they think they have done it perfectly, but they can at least prevent most situations.
Sneak attack - Even if it is late at night, even if it is raining, this system should at least be able to send back enough alarms in critical moments.
But now, the young human of unknown origin asserts that someone is approaching, and it is at such a dangerous and extremely close distance of five hundred feet - in the eyes of these old mercenaries with more than ten or even decades of experience, this is already unbelievable.
It's ridiculous.
Although in the legends among mercenaries, there are indeed people who can detect whether there are enemies lurking within a certain range around them through subtle vibrations on the ground. But the protagonists of those legends, apart from most of the spellcasters, are some
An extremely experienced hunter, ranger or ranger has forty or fifty years of experience living in the jungle and wilderness before they can hone their god-like skills. And even these legendary beings usually use it when investigating.
You need some medium - at least you need to get down to the ground and listen carefully for a while.
But now, the young man just lowered his head slightly.
Of course, maybe it was some kind of magic that was at work, but even though the boy had been sluggish, he didn't look like a mage, especially those hands with sword cocoons, which looked like they shouldn't belong to a mage.
Spellcasters - even those sorcerers who rely on instinct to cast spells will never activate a spell without magic spells or gestures like him.
This is incredible to the point of being ridiculous, so the most likely possibility is that he was just saying it casually, trying to attract or divert everyone's attention in order to perform some special action.
"If possible, can you tell me your basis? There are magic alarms set up around the area. We have also sent out sentries in four directions. No one should be able to approach easily."
After a slight silence, the half-elf leader questioned. At the same time, he took a step forward and used his body to protect the little girl who had just finished casting the spell.
But Edward didn't answer the question.
"About 400 feet in the east, twelve, more than 400 feet in the south, ten, eleven, two, three, and sixteen in the west. There should be a spellcaster among them. He hasn't found a chance to cast a spell yet, and then the north
A passage has been left, but it should be a trap." He lowered his eyes slightly and further concentrated his energy.
There is not much open space around this forest hut. The jungle, night and rain can provide enough concealment. But even so, this pleasant person is still moving forward very slowly and with extreme caution.
It's just that in Edward's eyes, no, in his mind, everything hidden has turned into clouds on the horizon... He can clearly detect everyone's position, direction, and even the thoughts in their hearts... Despite that invisible layer
The scope is constantly shrinking, and the voice of thinking is also constantly blurring, but it still almost wraps up every move of these thirty or so people.
This accurate prediction made the faces of the half-elves become solemn.
"I spread out the magic alarms and ordinary alarms so that there will be no gaps in any direction. As long as there is a slight movement, I can detect it immediately even without Kraft and Lann, not to mention that Lun Kun also volunteered to go together just now.
Yes, his ability is already one of the best among us, second only to you, Captain Melianne."
The two half-elves carefully opened a small panel on the wall, and the spellcaster reported to the leader in a low voice. At the same time, he pulled out a scroll from his waist.
"Then where are your people guarding?" Edward suddenly asked. The half-elf caster hesitated for a moment, until the leader nodded slightly, and then spoke briefly: "There is a high point on the nearby trees. The other two should be
In a hidden place within three hundred feet..."
"No, except for the people who were gradually approaching, I didn't see anyone guarding or being killed."
The hunter stood up, put on his waterproof cloak, drew out his long sword, cut off a piece of cotton cloth, tied his face, and then walked to the side of the house.
In this world, the legal binding force is still quite thin, and the final solution to conflicts is extremely violent, often involving life and death, and will not end. It is definitely not a smart move to mix things up casually, so you must take precautions in advance to avoid
future trouble.
In fact, if possible, Edward didn't want to be so conspicuous at all. He didn't know these guys in front of him at all. Even if his life was saved, it didn't mean that he would show off his power and be the leader.
It's a pity that time passes, and he has now become one of the people being ambushed. The best option of escaping alone does not exist at all - as he gets closer, he can clearly feel the scattered thoughts of the other party entering his mind.
The idea, there are already some vicious words in it! Now whether you leave or stay in this wooden house, you will be targeted and killed indiscriminately.
This wooden house is not a good defensive location. The target is too obvious, and the cover it can provide is too fragile. Among the enemies coming from the west, there are obviously several thoughts with the word fireball. If there are no accidents, a formal mage will release
The fireball technique, even in this rainy night, is enough to incinerate a wooden hut! The exit of the house is in the north, but the other party has obviously made preparations for this. Leaving from there, those who surrounded it from all sides will gradually lock their hands.
Keep your pockets tight until everyone gets inside.
