    Act 2 Night (I) A bonfire was lit at night, and a dazzling fire burned on the randomly picked up sticks.  Dots of sparks jumped out of the bonfire, making a crackling sound.  Beside this campfire, Ives ate freshly soaked dry bread, took a sip of water, and looked up at the bright stars.  The stars here are completely different from the star map in his memory. After all, these are two completely different worlds.  The basic backgrounds of the two worlds are very different. Those stars are not another planet far away light years away, but the incarnation of the aloof gods.  There are real gods in this world. They hold their thrones high and sit in their own kingdoms.  As long as their divine fire is not extinguished, they will live forever.  "Immortality" Ives sighed and finished the bread in his hand.  In fact, it is difficult to live forever in this world, but it is not impossible.  The easiest way is to become a lich. As long as you become a lich, your life span will basically be counted in millennia.  But in fact, lichs still have an end of life. When time passes, you will slowly forget your original self and your obsession with becoming a lich, and eventually become a wandering ghost who has forgotten who you are. Finally, in  Dissipated under the sunlight And to say that the only ones who are truly immortal are the gods sitting on the throne in the sky, right?  Just as Avis continued to eat dry food, he suddenly heard something.  Ives immediately stood up, took out a crossbow from behind him, and put it in his hand.  He leaned down slightly and stepped back.  He didn't put out the bonfire because he was almost sure the guys had noticed.  All he could do was to retreat into the dark space aside when those guys were attracted by the light of the campfire.  Meeting outsiders in the dark wilderness is a scary thing, because you almost don¡¯t have to think twice to know that these guys are not coming to say good night to you.  Avis touched his hand on his waist, placing the dagger and scepter in the best position.  The spider web ring on his finger is always ready to send out a spider web to imprison the person in front of him.  Although most magic equipment has the ability to be immune to spider web spells, Ives knew that his luck would not be so bad, so easily encountering uninvited guests with magic items.  Behind him was a stretch of cold trees. Ives¡¯s eyes were not just glancing back and forth around the bright bonfire in front of him, he was also paying attention to the darkness around him.  Soon, the sound of some brisk footsteps reached his ears.  Avis took a deep breath and subconsciously tightened the crossbow in his hand.  That was the sound of footsteps stepping on soft fallen leaves. Although it was slight, it still couldn't escape Avis's attention.  Although Avis' perception is only a pitiful 12 points, he is a half-elf after all, and half-elves and elves often have the ability to see in the dark.  Therefore, the darkness could not block Ives' sight. He could still clearly see the people walking in the darkness.  These people were wearing brown leather armor, and the edges of the leather armor were really badly worn.  They have a weapon on their waist, either a sword or a scimitar.  There were probably between five and six people, and they were all cautious enough, but there didn't seem to be any thieves in their ranks.  Avis took a deep breath, but did not rush out directly.  He knew that this was just an appearance. How could there be no thieves in a team?  Then the thief has obviously been hiding.  Seeing these people approaching his camp in a planned way, Avis knew that he had been watched.  Butwhy was he being targeted?  Are these people motivated by money, or for other reasons?  Avis bit his lower lip, but he didn't know where his enemy came from.  Soon, Avis found the thief.  His eyes glanced back and forth in the dark forest, and finally focused on the treetops nearby.  There, a figure was carefully looking at the place where the bonfire was shining Then, the first target was him.  Avis closed his eyes and began to prepare the magic.  "Hey, boss, there's no one here!" A voice came into Ives' ears. It was a somewhat sharp voice, but Ives could confirm that this person's voice did not exist in his memory.  Apparently, they were not acquaintances of Ives.  Sowere they commissioned by others to come here to kill him, or were they simply mercenaries who made temporary appearances as bandits?  "Where did that kid go?" A man who seemed to be the leader grinned and cursed.  He was wearing a fairly decent armor. Although it was a little rusty and slightly ill-fitting, the armor also gave him a lot of protection.  Ives' eyes glanced back and forth on him, and finallyI recognized that this guy's strength was probably between level three and level four.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Avis is just a first-level mage now.  Avis was only at the first level at this time, so he naturally had not learned the highly technical ability of silent spell casting, so he could only lower his voice to conjure magic.  The night was a little quiet at this time, and the constant calls of summer insects could still be heard in my ears.  Although Avis's voice of reciting the incantation was soft, it was not silent.  The armored man searching beside the campfire suddenly felt something. He just raised his head and locked the position of Avis.  "That kid is there!" Seeing that his position had been exposed, Ives stood up, took out the blinding technique from his hand, and flew towards the thief above the treetops.  Blindness is a very classic first-level magic, and it is also one of the magic spells that most mages must practice.  Its effect is to directly blind a person.  The thief standing on the treetop suddenly couldn't see anything, and couldn't help shouting in panic. Then he irrationally tried to escape, but ended up falling from the tree and couldn't move for a while.  .  "The blinding spell hits the target, the saving throw is successfulthe judgment is passed, and the target becomes 'blind'." A voice that only Avis could hear sounded in his ears.  The man in armor cursed.  He originally wanted the thief to stand on a high place and monitor the whole scene. If necessary, he could use his poisonous crossbow arrows to deal with the slippery boy in front of him.  But now their trump card has been directly eliminated Ives immediately stood up and ran quickly to the side. He raised the light crossbow in his hand, but the crossbow kept shaking as he ran.  , making it difficult for Ives to target those guys who are also running.  Ives grinned and secretly wondered whether he would want to take a part-time job as a melee profession in the future.  The pure mage was really at a disadvantage in the battle.  Ives finally shot two arrows, but neither of them hit the target directly. Instead, they made those guys chase him even angrier.  Ives sighed slightly at the end and raised his right hand. Soon, the ring on his index finger began to emit a spooky light.  And Avis also stopped running and stood still.  Avis cast his eyes on those people who were running, and finally, a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. ? ? These guysare in such a great position.  They stood exactly in a fan shape, and Avis almost didn't need any calculations to think of a way to restrain them all.  With just a slight chant of the incantation, Avis used the 'Spider Web Technique' stored in his ring.  The white cobwebs continued to spread in front of Ives, quickly restraining those guys.  Ives let out a breath, and without any panic, he took out the light crossbow from behind and skillfully loaded the crossbow with arrows.  The bandits who were restrained in front of Ives finally panicked. They tried hard to break free from the shackles of the spider web, but in the end they failed and could only stand there unable to move.  They suddenly started yelling, but after Ives picked up the crossbow and shot a bandit to death, the remaining people finally became quiet.  "So, you can tell me now" Ives aimed at a poor robber again: "Who hired you to kill me?" "I don't know I don't know" the robber leader said, and then  A companion next to him was shot to death again.  The bandit leader's whole body was bound by spider webs, and he couldn't escape no matter how hard he tried.  But his heart was full of resentment towards the person who issued the order to him.  Doesn't it mean that their target is just a first-level magician?  How could it be so difficult!  At this time, the bandit leader finally remembered a very famous proverb in the continent of Ellenthea - never underestimate a magician, because you never know what other cards he has.  "Ka" Ives continued to load the gun, and then aimed at another person: "Are you clearer now, eh? Do you remember who it is?" "Swear in the name of Arguedo (¡ù)  , I really don¡¯t know!¡± the bandit leader cried, ¡°a man in black found me, he gave me a bag of gold, and told me to come here to intercept a mageother than that  He didn't say anything! I don't know who he is. After all, if I ask more about this kind of thing, I might be the next one to die!" Ives looked at the bandit leader quietly for a while, and then  He sighed slightly, and just as he was about to put a little more pressure on the bandit leader, his ears suddenly caught a strange sound.  ¡°Da da da¡­¡± Ives immediately turned around. There was this regular sound.It's obviously a knight riding a horse!  (¡ù: Arquedo, God of War.) ¡­ PS: Please give me a collection and recommendation~~
