Chapter 565: Testing

grass!

Li Si resisted the urge to jump up, take out his staff and use the fireball technique to bombard him, and forced himself to calm down and sit around the bar.

To be honest, he wasn't afraid of the undead.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they may be extremely dangerous extraordinary creatures, but they have no deterrent effect on Li Si.

Even if a high-level undead such as a lich or a death knight appears in front of him, as long as it is not a legendary level existence, Li Si will still have no problem winning it.

But while he was having a good chat with the shop owner named Old Milo, he suddenly discovered that the other person was an undead creature. The impact of this sense of gap made Li Si surprised.

wrong!

Li Si suddenly discovered a problem.

How could it be possible? The distance between the shop owner and him was only about one meter at most, but why didn't he even feel the breath of the undead creature?

The old man in front of him definitely couldn't be a legendary undead, otherwise he wouldn't have exposed such a flaw in front of Li Si.

So this is the reality concealed by the illusion in this small town called Ihailes?

Because of the influence of the legendary level illusion, why did he not feel the breath of the undead?

Li Si thought in his mind and looked at the old man in front of him without changing his expression.

Old Milo didn't seem to care. He bent down to pick up the arm that fell on the ground and pressed it on the wound on his shoulder.

After a while, Old Milo let go of his hand, moved his arms again, and said to Li Si with emotion:

"I'm really dissatisfied and can't stand it anymore. It's just a little bump and a bump."

The emotional tone in his words seemed as if this was a normal thing.

"Old Milo, you are old and you should really pay attention."

Li Si nodded and agreed.

In this case, old Milo knew that he had become an undead, so why did he say this?

Or is it because the illusion has changed your common sense, thinking that this is a very common thing, so you don't care?

Li Si tasted the golden wine in the glass and looked at the guests around him carefully.

The guests sitting around the tables in the tavern hall were noisy and noisy. It seemed that no one was different. They should not be able to see what was happening at the bar.

But there were three or four guests sitting at the bar next to Li Si. One of them was just chatting with old Milo. He was sitting very close and should have seen what happened just now.

But even so, the guest didn't respond. While drinking ale, he was chatting loudly with the guest next to him, seeming to be arguing about something.

Judging from their clothes, they should all be residents of Ihailes City.

So, did this illusion really change the common sense of everyone in the city?

Everyone else in the city of Ihailes has turned into the undead, but they are completely unaware of it?

Is it that exaggerated?

Li Si was a little frightened.

This kind of skill cannot be accomplished by ordinary legendary level necromancers!

Moreover, there is this illusion that changes common sense. It covers such a wide range that it is beyond the reach of ordinary legendary professionals.

Was it the city lord of Ihailes who did it?

Li Si was a little unsure, sitting aside and watching Old Milo reply to his arm.

When old Milo's arm returned to normal, Li Si smiled and said to him:

"As you get older, you need to be more careful."

"By the way, I heard that the city lord will show up to preside over the ceremony on the night of Al-Adha, right?"

"right."

Old Milo nodded and said like a normal person:

"Such an important matter must be personally presided over by the City Lord."

"I still don't know what to call the Lord of the City."

"Since he can become the city lord of Ihailes, he must be a powerful professional, right?"

"That's for sure!"

Old Milo nodded and said affirmatively:

"This city is named after the Lord of the City. Lord Ihailes is a well-deserved strong man and has protected this city for many years."

"I have grown up listening to the stories of Lord Ihailes. For so many years, because of Lord Ihailes' presence, no one has dared to offend this city."

"Has the Lord of the City protected this city for so long? Then this one should be a legendary strongman, right?"

Li Si's face showed just the right amount of surprise.

"Of course!"

Old Milo said affirmatively, with a somewhat proud tone.

"Lord Ihailes is a powerful legendary mage. No one dares to challenge the city he protects."

"Legendary mage~"

Li Si felt a little emotional, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Old Milo.

"A toast to Lord Ihailes!"

"To Lord Ihailes!"

With a smile on his face, Old Milo drank the wine in his hand with Li Si.

"I am also a mage. It would be great if I could get guidance from Lord Ihailes."

"I wonder what Lord Ihailes is best at?"

Li Si smiled and said to Old Milo, meaning something.

"That's probably difficult."

Old Milo shook his head.

"Except for the celebration of the Al-Adha festival, the city lord has been staying in the mage tower in the center of the city and basically never comes out."

"It's something everyone in town knows."

"Some people have come to Ihailes before, hoping to get guidance from the Lord of the City, but I haven't heard of anyone who succeeded in the end."

"Li Si, don't expect this, just enjoy the Eid al-Adha!"

"I see."

Li Si nodded slightly, with a hint of regret and disappointment on his face.

"Don't think about it, how about another glass of wine?"

"Of course, but give me two this time, and you can join me, Old Milo."

Li Si smiled and invited Old Milo.

"Haha, that's great."

Old Milo was also happy, and the cocktail glass in his hand began to shake deftly again.

When his face turned slightly red, Li Si said goodbye to Old Milo and got up to return to the room.

Taya had collapsed on the bed at this moment, eating the good food prepared by Li Si in small bites, and his eyes drifted in the direction of Li Si from time to time.

Li Si didn't seem to be able to drink much.

Should I prepare some specially in the future?

While Taiya's mind was wandering, Li Si was thinking about the problem he had just discovered.

With Li Si's strong physique, the wine and drinks just now had no effect on him, and the drunken state he showed was more of a disguise.

This time, the harvest was far more than he had expected before.

The biggest discovery is undoubtedly the truth that the legendary illusion in this small town of Yihailes may conceal.

Undead!

Li Si did not expect that undead creatures would appear in this small town in the secret realm, and he had not noticed any undead breath before.

So the residents of this small town of Yihailes may have become undead?

This is really possible!

Li Si remembered that he had noticed that the residents of Yihailes generally had pale faces, but he did not notice the undead breath at that time, so he did not associate this with the undead.

Now it seems that it is very likely that the residents have basically become undead, even with the cover of the illusion, there is still a hint of abnormality.

However,

This is too abnormal, isn't it?

For example, the old Milo just now, from the appearance, there is no undead look at all.

Especially the skillful bartending technique, there is no obscure and stiff place at all, which is no different from ordinary people.

If it weren't for the accident that the old Milo's arm was broken, Li Si would not have discovered that this enthusiastic old man had become an undead.

If Ihales is a city of the dead, in order to conceal the truth, in addition to the illusion, there is an outrageous but not very noticeable "expensive" city entry tax.

Try to prevent outsiders from entering the city.

Even if a few people enter the city, it is difficult to find out the identity of the residents of the city as dead.

First of all, although the residents of the city are dead, they also need to eat and sleep like normal people, so there is nothing abnormal in their actions.

Li Si has checked the food and drinks provided by the hotel, and there is nothing abnormal.

So those travelers who came to Ihales may not find anything even if they have been with a group of dead for several days.

So, no one has discovered the secret of this small town?

However, Li Si still can't figure it out.

Why does that Ihales want to maintain this small town?

To maintain such a large number of undead residents and maintain this legendary illusion, you can imagine how much it costs.

What is the purpose of this Ihales?

In the mission introduction, this small town is forever stagnant in time because of Ihalus's persistence.

If the "dead city" mentioned in the mission means that this small town has become a city of the dead, then what does the "new change" mean?

Li Si flipped through the mission introduction and suddenly saw the prompt of the mission reward.

Mission reward: depends on the completion of the mission (Hint: After completing this mission, there is a small probability of getting the legendary item [Love Beyond Life and Death]!)

(Ihalus: What if I have everything without you?)

Li Si suddenly realized something and felt a little sour.

Especially about this legendary item [Love Beyond Life and Death], the subsequent effect introduction made Li Si's premonition more real.

This is a method that every player strategy master will master, to obtain useful information from a brief mission introduction and promote the completion of the mission.

But this is a legendary strongman?

Li Si couldn't imagine what kind of unforgettable experience would make him make such a choice and even "create" such a city of the dead.

Although it feels like he has grasped some clues, the difficulties facing Li Si are not limited to these.

The Gul Festival will be held the night after tomorrow.

There are still two days left. You can't just do nothing during this time and waste it all here, right?

Li Si thought about it, looked at the dark night outside the window, and prepared to go out and explore the city.

For example, the place where Ihales is located in the center of the town.

According to Old Milo, the owner of this city, Ihales, has been staying in the wizard tower in the center of the city.

However, when Li Si was strolling in the city before, he also passed by there and didn't see any wizard tower.

Could this wizard tower be located underground?

Li Si felt that this might help to solve the secret of this illusion.

Waiting in the room for a while, until the night was deep.

Li Si asked Taiya to continue to stay in the room to rest, and left the room with Taiya's somewhat dissatisfied eyes.

Using the power of shadow to enter stealth mode, Li Si walked downstairs.

At this time, the tavern on the first floor of the hotel was no longer noisy. The guests had left after having fun, leaving the messy table waiting to be cleaned. Old Milo, who was originally behind the bar of the tavern, also disappeared.

The waiters of the hotel were busy on the first floor, cleaning up the leftovers on the table and the wine spilled on the table and the floor.

Li Si noticed that the blonde girl Zhuo was also cleaning diligently in the hall at this moment.

Even simple and plain clothes could not hide the beauty of the blonde girl. Li Si looked at her and slowly approached her.

Although her previous speculation was very likely, it was just speculation after all.

This time when he went out to explore, Li Si planned to verify his speculation.

First of all, he had to test whether all people were undead creatures like old Milo.

When Li Si saw Zhuo, he had a new idea in his mind.

In his opinion, Zhuo, this girl, should be quite special, and it is very likely that she is related to the legendary wizard Ihalus.

In this case, is she also an undead?

Li Si approached Zhuo, wanting to experiment secretly.

He is now in the shadow stealth state, which is not something that ordinary people can detect.

Because of the existence of the illusion, Li Si cannot sense whether the other party is a dead spirit from the external breath.

Still have to experiment.

If the girl in front of him is really a dead creature, she can't observe Li Si in the stealth state. Even if Li Si secretly cuts off her arm, the other party may not notice anything unusual.

Just like the old Milo before.

If the other party is not a dead creature, but a living person, Li Si can also detect it. Even if an accident really cuts off the girl's hand, Li Si has the ability to help her fully recover.

Just when Li Si came to Zhuo's side and was ready to take action.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure fell directly on Li Si's shoulder!

Even though he had prepared himself in his heart, Li Si almost didn't react, and his body bent slightly under this huge pressure.

Legend!

Sure enough, there is a problem!

Li Si felt that the pressure on his body was still increasing, and he dared not stay anymore, and quickly jumped away through the shadow.

Ju'ou, who was on the verge of a fight, didn't feel anything and was still working hard to clean the stains on the table.

Li Si's figure emerged from the shadows and appeared on the street in front of the hotel.

Taking a deep breath, Li Si looked up and carefully observed the situation around him.

After waiting for a while, the expected legendary strongman did not show up.

Strange?

Li Si touched his chin and was a little confused.
