Witch, don't be so lazy
Page 42
As people moved, vendors working in the service industry naturally left as well and began to crowd into the town center again.
The roads were packed and every street was bustling with people.
Especially in the alley where the Huangtu Gang murder occurred, the messy rumors can only scare away ordinary residents, but in the eyes of adventurers, these instead stimulate their strong curiosity.
Encore took a look when passing by. It was late at night and there were so many people that there was no outdoor seating available, so they had to eat standing up.
Instead of going back to the Adventurer's Tavern directly, Anke first went to the Winter Magic Chamber of Commerce, and when he came out, he had an extra box in his hand.
The knowledge crystal for the "Invisibility Spell" costs fifty-two gold coins.
Now that he had the blessing of shadow, he naturally had to learn the magic tricks of the Shadow School. Even though he had no intention of changing the school, after learning about the deeds of "Evening Star" Evanga, Anke became determined to study other schools as a minor.
Although she couldn't figure out what the other party's final method of reaching omniscience was, she felt that nothing in this world could be achieved overnight, and Evanga's research on other schools of thought must not be in vain.
And even if we take a step back, Encore does need a way to hide.
After all, in her earliest plan, the magic she intended to practice included the Earth School's Sixth Liquor and Martial Arts (Eight) Command IV Hades [Armor Spell of the No R School], and the Sun School's Chameleon Light and Shadow.
Well, the main reason is that there is no powerful way to escape in the magic tricks, and the light body technique is too weak. It is not very meaningful to use it alone, unless it is combined with the physical fitness enhanced by the breathing method.
If running away is not an option, then you can only keep a low profile and occasionally launch sneak attacks.
Moreover, it has many uses in daily life. Apart from anything else, after she learns it, she will have the confidence to go to the black market and Rat Street. As long as she has the cover of the spell, others will not be able to easily perceive and record her magic power and breath. This is very reassuring, which is no less than learning the "telekinesis shield".
Return to the house.
After a simple meal and cleanup, Anke took out the crystal of knowledge.
This is the fourth time I've used this thing.
A familiar road.
A stream of pure white light bloomed before my eyes.
The illusion begins.
Snow-capped mountains, quiet and huge castles, and empty training grounds filled with bows, daggers, hidden arrows, short swords and blowguns, as well as various obstacles and alchemical dolls.
In addition to studying the manuscript, the protagonist spends more time on practice. The scar-faced teacher is a smiling tiger. He looks smiling, but his whip is very cruel. If any stealth movement is not perfect, the clothes will be torn and the skin will be torn.
Slowly progressing, it was transformed from an immobile obstacle into an alchemical puppet, and finally thrown into a pack of wolves in the wild. It was bitten countless times, and after recovering from its wounds, it was thrown back again, repeating the cycle over and over again.
Until one moment, the shadow successfully covered the protagonist's body. There was clearly nothing in the moonlight, but the dagger suddenly slashed across the wolf's throat, one after another, and blood stained the entire snow.
This concludes.
Anke breathed in and out, allowing herself to slowly calm down.
The proficiency panel in front of me lights up.
[Invisibility Spell: 100/500/Beginner]
Mobilize magic power, recite the spell silently, and cast it.
It was incredibly magical. Anke watched helplessly as her feet, thighs, abdomen, arms and other parts of her body quickly disappeared into thin air.
When she activated her clairvoyance, she could clearly see something like black fog covering her in her field of vision.
There are quite a few spells that can achieve concealment. At least from what Anke has learned, there are at least three different types of concealment spells.
The first is the Lieyang School's magic trick "Chameleon Light and Shadow". As the name suggests, this thing essentially achieves invisibility in the literal sense by changing light and shadow. It has great limitations, but it is the easiest to practice.
Then there is the Chaos School's low-level spell "Indifference Spell", which belongs to the illusion school and can reduce the caster's presence, making people around him subconsciously ignore him.
However, if the opponent has strong mental strength and determination, then the effect will be greatly reduced, especially if there are multiple targets reminding each other and locking the caster at the same time, the spell will be almost useless, unless the spell attainment is super high and the mental strength is far superior to the opponent.
Finally, there's the invisibility spell.
The signature spell of the School of Shadows is almost the most powerful concealment spell, which can achieve concealment through shadow energy, not only the body shape, but also the magic power and breath.
This skill is especially effective in darkness and shadows.
When it reaches a higher level, it can even hide in the so-called shadow world and truly disappear from the world.
Of course, at the beginning, the invisibility spell is still easy to detect.
For example, in Anke's insight vision, her entire body was covered in a black mist, making her very conspicuous.
This is quite normal. The spells are fighting against each other. The former has been mastered, while the latter has just learned it.
If the Sun School's flash technique was used to forcibly disperse the shadow energy, it would probably be more obvious.
And because of the low level of proficiency, just take a few steps and move around.
Oh, the invisibility spell broke and I was revealed.
But all of the above are not problems. As long as you work harder, you will become stronger sooner or later.
This is the most surprising thing about Encore.
Just tried it twice.
Prompts popped up one after another in front of me.
[Invisibility Spell +2]
[Invisibility Spell +3]
……
This is a golden experience that I have never had before. It is just like eating and drinking water. Just move casually and you can see your proficiency increasing rapidly.
An Ke was stunned. Compared with her previous experience with the Mage's Hand and the Telekinetic Shield, the speed increased by at least five or six times.
It's absolutely amazing. This is comparable to the descendants of the Grand Duke of the Vampire Clan, with an affinity for shadows belonging to extraordinary dark creatures. It's pure cheating.
It feels like it will take less than two or three days to reach the mastery level. Maybe even the latest skill I learned will be the fastest to reach the specialization level.
If possible, Anke would like to stay in the guild forever, occasionally enchanting painting scrolls, and then working hard to improve his proficiency.
Unfortunately.
Three days later in the morning.
An Ke woke up with an inexplicable shudder and forcibly interrupted her meditation.

Chapter 44 Shocking Change
Deep and dark underground, in the deepest part of the nest.
The icicle streaked through the air like a spike, randomly piercing a White Walker kneeling on the ground.
Looking around, the altar was littered with ice-blue corpses.
But facing the golden snake eyes of the royal family, those White Walkers who survived by chance could not muster any will to resist. They just crawled on the ground, waiting for their own fate.
The mocking and hoarse language is like the murmur of a poisonous snake.
"What a bunch of rubbish."
The White Walker leader cursed viciously, "It's taken so many days to gather enough people, so I'll pay with your worthless lives."
As he was speaking, three more White Walkers died tragically.
This is actually the last resort. It's not that we are reluctant to sacrifice the lives of these humble slaves, but they are too inferior as sacrifices.
Although the White Walkers, as extraordinary creatures, are obviously stronger than ordinary adventurers in terms of the quality of flesh, blood and magic, the problem is that this is a sacrifice to the great witch after all.
Although these ordinary White Walkers are humble, they can be considered as serving under the command of the Great Witch. Killing their own camp as sacrifices is still useful, but the efficiency is inevitably greatly reduced. As a result, it is far less efficient than slaughtering those bastards who have invaded the North.
Whenever the leader thought about this, he felt extremely depressed and puzzled.
In fact, at the beginning, everything went very smoothly. The White Walkers fought against those ordinary adventurers and basically won more than they lost.
Even if there are a few more troublesome elite teams, as long as we set up sophisticated traps and mobilize the White Walkers, we can still solve them with some effort.
But since some time, those elite teams have suddenly become stronger, as if their equipment has been suddenly replaced and upgraded. The previous combination of traps and groups of White Walkers instantly lost their deadly threat, and the battle situation instantly turned in favor of the enemy.
It's really strange. Although it is a White Walker, it also knows the situation in the North.
This place is obviously just an ordinary small town. It is impossible to have so many enchanters here. Moreover, these adventurers are too rich. How did they get so many specially enchanted equipment? Even if some of them were scrapped after a fierce battle, they would replace them with new ones the next day.
This speed is really too outrageous. After thinking about it, the leader felt that the local lord must have emptied his family fortune over the years and took the initiative to distribute the equipment in the inventory to the adventurers. He was really willing to spend a lot of money!
Therefore, it had no choice but to take action forcefully, otherwise all the ordinary White Walkers would have died, and few adventurers would have been killed.
But the consequences of acting rashly were also obvious. Although an elite team was successfully killed, the sensitive nerves of ordinary adventurers were touched. Except for a few idiots who valued money more than their lives, the rest all fled in all directions.
There is no other way, so we can only use White Walkers as sacrifices. It doesn’t matter if the quality is poor, but it can barely support the sacrifice.
When the sacrifice was mentioned, the leader looked cautiously towards the center of the nest.
The leader had been chanting spells on the altar these days. Although he had vaguely established a connection through the light on the magic circle, he had not received a response from the great witch.
Perhaps the sacrifice wasn't of sufficient standard, or perhaps the relic was too damaged, or perhaps the witch's territory in the spirit world had sunk again...
But this isn't good news anyway.
This is someone else's territory after all. The longer we delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for them...
The White Walker leader in the center of the altar suddenly raised his head and looked into the sky.
"That guy's deployment is almost complete. The earth elements are rapidly gathering around him. We can't wait any longer. Kill them all now, immediately."
A hoarse voice sounded.
The leader's face turned serious, and fear flashed in the eyes of the kneeling White Walkers. They didn't even have time to beg for mercy.
"Hissing" sounds rang out one after another, magic power surged, ice-blue light flashed, and for a moment, the dazzling ice spikes strung together a large number of White Walkers.
Turbid negative energy and magic flowed along the lines of the altar, and finally converged in the center of the pitch-black and dark blue magic circle.
then.
There were ripples in the void, and through the infinite mirrors and light and shadow, a chaotic and twisted shadow of horror was outlined. The witch was sleeping in the frost-covered garden.
He did not open his eyes, but in the huge stagnant garden, a tiny bit of ice and snow melted, revealing beautiful flowers, which then quickly withered, like wilting flesh and blood, drooping with a malicious blessing.
After crossing an infinite distance and arriving at the physical world from the spiritual world, only a tiny, imperceptible red remained.
The White Walker leader had a fanatical look on his face and kowtowed heavily. Then, his body deformed strangely, cold ice and snow spread from under his feet, and his magic power and breath increased rapidly.
Unfortunately, the process only lasted two or three breaths.
The leader's face darkened.
The quality of the sacrifices was too poor after all, and most of them were used to strengthen the connection, so the blessing power obtained was very small.
I originally thought that I could just crush all the bugs on the ground and then get away, but now it seems that it will take a lot of effort to successfully get away.
Wait, what is that?!
After the sacrifice, a weak but familiar aura appeared in the darkness, very close, even in the direction of that town.
The leader was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look to the side: "Did you feel it?"
"Yes, yes!"
The chieftain was very excited. "Your Majesty, the other party has the gift of the female QUN砮令 Sanlinqi Paiba Wu. That's a new witch!"
"idiot!"
The leader's face was terribly gloomy. He cursed in a low voice, "The witch's gift is only bestowed upon dark creatures. That's not a new witch, at least not from our side."
"It's not our side..." The leader's expression froze, his voice trembling. "The Winter Demon, it's impossible. His spirit has actually awakened. What about the great witch..."
"Don't panic. The fact that you were able to receive the blessing just now shows that the Witch still has the upper hand."
The leader said calmly, "I think those monsters in the Northern Tower have made new progress. We must hurry."
It grabbed the dimly lit relic on the altar and handed it to the leader, "Take it."
"Your Majesty?!"
The latter was in a panic, "Absolutely not! This is a precious relic, how can you hand it over to me?"
"It doesn't have much power anymore, but it's still a puzzle piece that can locate Wonderland."
The leader said calmly, "Take this and flee towards the coast. Take this with you and join the Scourge Cult. They will help you leave the North."
The leader carefully took the relic and asked, "What about you?"
