In fact, most of the spellcasters in independent teams focus on turret-style casting, occasionally casting one or two control spells before attacking or retreating. This is the mainstream approach, after all, Eteliria's spells do not distinguish between friend and foe.
Letting rookies recklessly cast spells may accidentally lead to their own team's total annihilation.
Spellcasters like Luo Yu, Gita, and Xiangzi, who grow freely as Elentalists, Natural Historians, and Magic Guided Conductors, are actually quite rare. Even Elisa, familiar with this fact, always wonders if the people of Tabopolis would think they've led their 'geniuses' in a misdirected path if they knew about this.
When Luo Yu finished casting the spell, Elisa smiled and 'said': "Actually, I know sign language too."
But Luo Yu just looked at her and 'replied': "Actually, this spell has so other uses."
"Other uses?"
"I don't know how to describe it," Luo Yu thought for a mont and replied in sign language: "But it should an it's more precise than verbal communication. The Captain should understand when it's put to use."
This response didn't surprise Fang Hong.
Speaking of the top quiet ones in the group—Luo Yu and Gita, both a man and a woman from the Tabopolis Oak Knights as 'externally contracted mbers', truly deserve this title. Sotis, he even wonders how the Tabopolis Oak Knights train newcors?
However, Miss Yugudola doesn't seem to be like this.
Neither is Red Leaf.
Compared to Gita, Luo Yu clearly has a higher Level in the 'Skill of Maintaining Silence'—saying that he cherishes words like gold is even a euphemism, basically, if things can get done, he won't speak. At least between Fang Hong and Tianlan, the latter would chatter non-stop, while the forr would just listen silently.
Such sessions usually last for an hour or two.
This led him to two curiosities.
First, where did Tianlan get so much to talk about? Second, is Luo Yu even listening?
In fact, after using this so-called 'Sign Language Comprehension', the other party's 'words' have indeed increased significantly, but explaining a concept clearly in front of everyone is still too difficult for him.
However, Miss Tata listened to his question and hinted to him in her heart:
"Mr. Knight, sound is a very inefficient way of transmitting information. Although this spell uses sign language as a dium, it's actually based on the ability of mind and Perception, so it's naturally stronger than language transmission."
Fang Hong listened with understanding, only vaguely acknowledging.
Yet, beside him, Wu Xiaopang was quite concerned about the Miss Fang Nini on Gita's head, asking repeatedly: "Boss, is there this category of guiding Fairy? I haven't seen one?"
Fang Hong knew that, like everyone else, the other party mistakenly thought of Nini as a guiding Fairy attached to the deluxe Starlight Device. He was busy consoling Gita earlier and didn't know how to explain this issue, so he thought of a unique answer: "Probably a special limited edition—"
So much so that Wu Xiaopang's eyes turned green: "I heard that special limited editions cost tens of millions of RMB..."
"Boss, does your family own a mine?"
Unfortunately, Fang Hong didn't know if his family owned a mine; besides a house, his parents didn't seem to leave any inheritance for him—and that house wasn't in any pri location; the savings in the bank were just a little.
So it seed, his family probably didn't own a mine, at least his parents likely didn't.
He led the group into the cave complex. Having previously let the Clockwork Fairy fly over, it was relatively smooth sailing now.
Not far through the rock crevice, there were two stone pillars stacked together—these pillars didn't seem to be ford by wind erosion or water infiltration but appeared to be man-made, with traces of carving on them. Wu Xiaopang saw this scene and couldn't help but utter in amazent:
"A sculpture?"
He jokingly remarked with a laugh: "Never thought these smugglers would have the leisure to decorate their secret little harbor, rather tasteful, isn't it?"
However, Fang Hong glanced at the 'sculpture', and Gita also cast a glance in its direction, neither spoke; in specific religious contexts, such ambiguous 'sculptures' actually carry indescribable anings—it is one of the taphors for Blind Followers.
When he previously sent the Clockwork Fairy in, Fang Hong hadn't noticed this detail, but this was one of the shortcomings of Combat Artisan scouting, nothing too surprising.
He silently regarded the sculpture, roughly confirming this was indeed the target he sought.
But just at this mont, Miss Nightingale ahead halted, using hand signs to gesture to everyone:
"Soone's coming."
Elisa, having spent a long ti with the Nightingale squad of the Rain Listener Brigade, had long developed a conditioned reflex. After conveying the information in sign language, she naturally continued.
With a light touch of her hand to the front and several gestures, she carefully conveyed in sign language to everyone behind—there are people ahead, approximately in what direction and distance.
Only after she perford this action did she pause, realizing she had sowhat wasted expression—because she used the specialized sign language of the Rain Listener Brigade, akin to shorthand code, sothing not everyone could 'hear' or understand.
But what Miss Nightingale didn't expect was.
Fang Hong, in that mont, was astonished to see, with Elisa's gestures, a series of red dots walking over from that direction in the darkness—as if he himself used Scouting Skills to see people approaching.
In fact, it wasn't just Fang Hong.
Everyone looked back at Luo Yu in surprise.
