The Last Alchemist

After confirming that he was under the illusion, Rosen did not stop running, because there were still a large number of pursuers following him, including the three magicians, who were waiting for him not far away.

He could only run while thinking about countermeasures.

"According to the introduction in the game, there are two ways to break the illusion. First, kill the caster. Second, find the incision of the illusion barrier."

Let's not talk about the first method for now, because the first priority of any illusion caster is to do everything possible to protect his own safety. It is very difficult to find the caster in the illusion barrier and kill him.

In the current situation, it is no different from asking Rosen to commit suicide.

The second method is to find the incision of the barrier.

The so-called incision is the flaw in the illusion world. As long as the illusion barrier is created by mortals, there must be flaws that are not in line with common sense. The only difference is whether the flaw is hidden by a clever method.

Whether an illusionist is clever or not depends on the hiding method of the incision. A master illusionist can trap his opponent in a barrier for his whole life, and he will never be able to escape until he dies.

"So, where is the cut of this barrier that trapped me?"

Rosen kept thinking back to the road he had run, and at the same time carefully recalled every detail of his experience.

'Annie came in and told me that the magician from the academy had come outside, and then I jumped out of the window and started running. At this time, I planned to go all the way north. I first went straight north, and after about 50 or 60 meters, I turned right. After running 70 or 80 meters, I entered a diagonal street heading northeast. After crossing the diagonal street, I turned left, and so on. The problem seemed to be here! '

Rosen was able to become a top student in his previous life. Hard work was one aspect, but his brain was indeed good, especially his memory. Although it was not as exaggerated as photographic memory, he could still recall most of the things he had experienced in a short period of time, including a lot of details.

If you turn left on the northeast diagonal street, you should continue to head north. But when Rosen thought about it carefully, he always felt that something was wrong there, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Rosen tried to think: "What went wrong?"

At this moment, a patrol guard suddenly rushed out from the diagonal in front of him. The guard held a long spear in his hand and stabbed Rosen in the stomach without mercy.

If he stabbed hard, he could stab Rosen into a skewer.

Rosen was furious, dodged the tip of the spear, raised the hand cannon in his hand, and subconsciously wanted to pull the trigger to kill the guard.

But at the last moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "In the illusion barrier, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is easy to hurt by mistake. Besides, this guard is just performing his duties. Forget it."

He turned the hand cannon and hit the guard's ear with the butt of the gun.

"Bang~"

The guard's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the ground without a sound.

Just as he fell to the ground, Rosen saw his shadow on the ground from the corner of his eye.

Today the weather is very good, the sky is clear, and it is about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is winter, so the sun in the sky should be hanging in the west and south.

The shadows of the buildings on both sides of the street are a good proof of this.

Rosen's mind suddenly moved: "Shadow! That's right, shadow! The shadow on the diagonal street is wrong!"

The illusion barrier he is in now is very cleverly constructed, half true and half false, most of the existence is real, and only a small part of the existence is fictitious. And these fictitious existences, each of which is perfectly integrated into the environment, without any flaws, but can affect Rosen's judgment at critical moments, making it difficult for Rosen to escape.

If you don't have a deep observation ability and a very deep understanding of the various attributes of the objective world, you can't identify the fictitious objects in the environment at all.

Just now, Rosen, who was thinking about getting rid of the pursuers, accidentally fell into the trap.

"Illusion is a mixture of light and mind magic. Since it is necessary to change the light, it is inevitable that there will be flaws in the light. Turn left after the diagonal street, and the shadow on the street is not only in the wrong position, but also in the wrong size!"

"The other party distorted the light, so that when I crossed the diagonal street, I turned around and turned back."

"From the current situation, the visible light in this area is no longer reliable. I must use other methods to identify the true direction. Well, this does not seem to be difficult."

For ordinary people, if vision becomes unreliable, it will become a blind person, and it will be difficult to move forward. But for magicians, vision is only an important means to assist them in observing the world, but it is by no means the most important means. The real power of magicians lies in their magic.

Using magic to observe the world, the information obtained is far beyond the eyes. It is also because of this that an illusionist can only trap another magician in the case of a sneak attack, and once the other party notices it, it is easy to escape from the illusion.

While thinking, Rosen returned to the diagonal street again.

On this street, he activated alchemical magic and relied on the detection of magic to point out the direction for himself.

After walking for dozens of meters, he came to the end of the diagonal street. At the end, Rosen's eyes told him that if he kept going forward, he would definitely hit a wall, but the alchemical magic told him that there was nothing in front of him except air.

"Hehe, the method is quite clever."

Rosen naturally chose to believe the result of the magic detection, and his footsteps did not stop, and he ran straight into the wall.

Just as he was about to pass through this false wall, Rosen suddenly felt a sharp whistle of wind coming from behind him, which seemed to be coming directly at the back of his head.

Rosen's heart tightened, and when he looked back, he saw a patrol guard holding a machete in his hand, slashing at his head fiercely.

Logically speaking, the patrol guard was just an ordinary person, and his reaction speed was far inferior to Rosen. Even if he had a machete, Rosen could easily knock him down.

But this patrol guard was different. He was extremely fast in his knife-drawing speed. When he chopped with a knife, the knife light was like a rainbow, and the sound of the wind was like a ghost crying.

At the critical moment, Rosen's only reaction was to dodge to the side desperately, but relying solely on physical strength was far from enough. His dodge speed was much slower than that of his opponent.

Fortunately, Rosen still had alchemical power.

His thoughts shone, and the alchemical magic power simultaneously grabbed the air around his body, compressed the air into a high-pressure air mass behind him, and then exploded.

"Bang~"

The air was flying everywhere, and Rosen's body was hit hard by the air. His dodging speed was several times faster, while the patrol guard's knife was hit by the air and slowed down for a moment.

Under the combination of fast and slow, Rosen finally got a chance.

If it was in the past, he would definitely take this opportunity to raise the hand cannon he had just made and hit the opponent hard, but now, he was in the illusion barrier, and what he saw with his eyes was not the truth, so he dared not attack randomly.

Using this gap, he used alchemical magic to detect the target's figure.

'Height of 1.7 meters, long hair, huge chest, thin waist, this figure is so familiar. It's Veronica! ' Rosen was very glad that he didn't fire the cannon. He continued to retreat, and at the same time used alchemical magic to speed up.

While retreating, he shouted: "Veronica, it's me, Rosen!"

As a result, the patrol guard on the opposite side didn't hear him, raised the knife again, and a white light appeared on the knife, and slashed at him.

From Rosen's alchemical magic, Veronica's true situation was that she was scowling and glaring. She raised her fist, which was glowing white, and punched him in the heart.

Rosen knew very well how powerful Veronica's innate white light was.

Seeing this, his heart was pounding. He didn't dare to take it, so he could only retreat with all his might.

As he retreated, his thoughts raced.

"I guess Veronica doesn't know that she's been hit by an illusion. In her eyes, she is most likely facing a magician from the academy. And what I said must have been misinterpreted as some kind of provocation. I can't fight back now. If this goes on, I won't be able to hold on for long, and I will be beaten to death by Veronica!"

"How can I make Veronica realize the current situation?"

On the other side, Veronica's second punch still missed. She became more and more courageous. With a shout, her speed increased again, and her fist hit Rosen's head again.

Rosen was groaning in his heart, this was really suffocating.

Helplessly, he could only continue to hide.

Fortunately, his alchemical magic power increased greatly, relying on the help of magic, he once again dodged the third punch at the critical moment.

Three punches missed, but Veronica did not chase.

Rosen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly, he found that Veronica actually reached out and untied the hand cannon from her belt, and the black muzzle of the cannon with a caliber of more than 20 mm was facing Rosen's head.

Rosen's forehead was sweating: "Damn, it's killing me!"

If he had known earlier, he would not have given such a powerful weapon to Veronica just now. Now it's really a cocoon for himself.

But fortunately, Rosen's alchemical magic can extend to a distance of 4 meters. Fortunately, he was very familiar with the structure of the hand cannon he built himself, so before Veronica pulled the trigger, Rosen's magic wrapped around the firing pin on the hand cannon, and used all his strength to prevent the firing pin from hitting the bullet primer.

At the same time, he tried his best to dodge to the side.

About a few tenths of a second later, the power of Veronica's fingers defeated Rosen's magic, and she successfully pulled the trigger. The firing pin ignited the primer, and a small cannonball with a caliber of more than 20 cm rushed out of the barrel, flew a few meters, and flew past Rosen's shoulder.

Rosen felt a pain in his shoulder, turned his head and saw that a large piece of clothes on his shoulder was lifted, and a long black burn scar appeared on his skin.

"It's really hanging by a thread!"

His heart was pounding, and he knew that this would not work, and he had to find a way to make Veronica stop attacking.

"What should I do? What should I do!"

There will be another update in the evening
