Stealth and parkour

1. The global illumination system will affect stealth. Players can use light and shadow to hide in the dark and create darkness by destroying lanterns.
2. Added servant NPCs, who can call for reinforcements and sound alarms, have patrol routes and hold lanterns at night to help improve vision, which enriches the gameplay of the game.
