Chapter 373: The Illusionist of Emerald City (Subscription Request)
This detail is completely copied from the original work of "The Wizard of Oz".
If you ask the janitor, why do you need to wear goggles?
He would tell visitors: "The streets and buildings in the city are made of large pieces of high-quality jade. If you enter the city without wearing goggles, your eyes will be stung by the strong light reflected by the jade."
When Gao Fei read the original work, he suspected it was a scam.
In fact, there are probably just some ordinary masonry buildings in the Emerald City. People wear green goggles to create the illusion that the houses and streets appear green.
Considering that the "Great Wizard of Oz" in the original book has no magic at all and is just a liar selling magic on the street, the so-called city made of emeralds is almost certainly a scam.
The purpose is simply to use this method to deceive the naive residents into thinking that Master Oz really has some amazing power and can turn stones and bricks into beautiful and expensive emeralds.
Full of suspicion, Gao Fei followed his companions through the city gate and onto the road leading to the palace.
On both sides of the street are rows of beautiful houses that seem to have been moved out of fairy tales. The walls and roofs shine with beautiful green luster, and they really look like they are carved from large pieces of jade.
The skin of people walking on the street is also green against the backdrop of the ubiquitous jade.
Of course, this is all seen through goggles.
What happens if you take off your goggles?
This idea fermented in Gao Fei's mind, and he couldn't help but touch the back of his head.
The chains on the goggles were tied so tightly that they couldn't be taken off directly.
This little trouble couldn't trouble him.
After giving his companion a wink, Gao Fei turned around and walked into a secluded alley. After looking around to make sure no one was paying attention to him, he put on his "thief mask".
To open the lock of the goggles, you must pass a DC19 "Sleight of Hand check", which is surprisingly difficult!
Goofy's "Sleight of Hand" skill is +6. Even if he has an advantage in the check with the help of thieves' tools, he still cannot pick the lock.
MMP! It’s just a pair of glasses, does it need to be locked so tightly?
When things go wrong, there must be a monster, and Gao Fei becomes more and more suspicious that this is a scam!
It doesn't matter if you can't pick the lock with your thieves' skills, I still have a trick!
Goofy switches the "thief mask" to the "druid mask" and uses "feral transformation" to turn into a snake.
As the head shrinks, the goggles automatically fall off.
Gao Fei was secretly proud, turned back to his human form, looked around, and unexpectedly found that the street scene was not significantly different from when he was wearing goggles, it was still green.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked up at the sky. He was surprised to find that even the sky was green and the rays of sunlight were also green.
The emeralds everywhere reflected the sunlight, and the endless bright green color filled his field of vision, making him feel dizzy.
System prompt: You were affected by the illusion, failed the DC21 Will save, and fell into a "dazzled" state.
…
Dazzled: Vision range halved, vision-based Perception checks have disadvantage!
…
Worri!
Gao Fei quickly closed his eyes, fumbled for his goggles, and put them back on his head.
After paying a dizzying price, I finally satisfied my curiosity.
So the question is, is the Emerald City really made of jade? Is it a scam?
Goofy's conclusion hasn't changed.
This is most likely a scam.
But the deception was more clever than he had previously thought.
The problem isn't the goggles.
Goggles are indeed protecting the eyes of city residents.
However, the building materials used in the city are not real jade, but illusions created by illusion.
Someone has cast a spell on the buildings and streets, making ordinary masonry look like emeralds with a turquoise glow.
This is indeed a kind of deception, but the technical content is not low.
The magic that shrouds the entire city in the illusion barrier must be at least a fifth-level "mirage", right?
Who in the Emerald City has such powerful magic?
The answer is obvious.
It can be seen that unlike the original work of "The Wizard of Oz", in this fantasy game module, Oz, the lord of the Emerald City, is probably really a powerful wizard!
Gao Fei caught up with his companions and walked along the street to the end. After informing the guards of his intention, he entered the waiting hall of the palace.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the guard opened the door and loudly announced that Master Oz was here!
Everyone looked at the door curiously and found that a plain-looking dwarf walked in.
This little old man was only three feet tall. He was wearing a tuxedo, a top hat, and a pair of monocles. He was dressed a bit funny.
"Is this Master Oz?" Jiang Feng whispered, "He is not a dwarf in the original work, could he be a substitute?"
Gao Fei was not sure either, so he used an astrolabe to investigate.
The result is still "unable to detect the high-level NPC". It can only be seen that this person is a level 12 "Illusionist" - that is, a mage who specializes in the "Illusion School".
"Nothing wrong, this is the real Master of Oz."
His spellcasting level is similar to that of the four great witches, he specializes in the school of illusion, and coupled with the illusion barrier covering the entire Emerald City, these clues are enough to confirm the identity of Master Oz.
You can say that he is a liar. After all, "illusion" is a high-level deception.
But when you're dealing with a level 12 illusionist, it's best to be polite.
The "School of Illusion" is one of the eight major schools of magic, and it has no shortage of ways to kill people or even kill people!
Master Oz walked into the living room, sat in an emerald armchair that was too large for his stature, and accepted visitors.
"Dear Master Oz, we came to visit you because-"
Ma Yun was interrupted by the arrogant dwarf mage mid-sentence.
"Your name is Dorothy Gale, you come from the world of Vales, and you have a few strange friends around you. I know their origins very well, so you don't need to belabor them."
"Master, so you already understand our purpose?"
"Yes, miss, of course I know that you want to go home, and your friends want to use my magic to remove the curse, and even want to go one step further and gain wisdom, courage and insight beyond ordinary people, right?"
"That's true, so are you willing to help us?"
"It's just a piece of cake for me to fulfill the wishes of the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Lion, but you are different. Miss Gale, sending you home is not an easy task. You are a reasonable girl and will never let Is my hard work in vain?”
Master Oz looked at the girl and made a cold hint.
"But what can I do for you?" Ma Yun asked confused.
"It's very simple. You just need to help me kill one person."
"Kill..." Ma Yun looked at Master Oz in confusion, "Who are you referring to?"
