To alleviate the limitations caused by distance, it is necessary to rely on the changes brought about by the completion of the stone monument. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking of this, Du Shen asked Megan for pen and paper. He walked to his desk alone, sometimes in thought, sometimes in writing.

After a long time, Du Shen picked up the white paper full of handwriting and handed it to Megan: "You are responsible for handing over this letter to the messenger of the Secret Law Brotherhood." I don't have time to meet them. You remind them to contact me after collecting the six stone tablets. Also, all the clues I know are on this piece of paper. If they have any other questions, they will talk to each other after they find the stone tablet. ”

Megan nodded and solemnly put away the letterhead.

After that, Du Shen discussed with Teresa and others about the plan of action in the short term. Du Shen plans to say goodbye to everyone for a while. He handed over the Tidegate so that everyone could return to their new territory tomorrow night.

Du Shen plans to explore a ruin somewhere. In his previous life, because he was trapped in the secret realm of time for a long time, Du Shen did not know much about the world of Manluo. He did not participate in many important historical events, but only heard about them afterwards.

The ruins that I planned to go to at this time happened to be one of the few and more familiar ones in Du Shen's previous life. From the experience of the previous life, the ruins were not dangerous to Du Shen. So Du Shen didn't plan to bring helpers. As for teleporting directly to the destination without the help of the Tide Gate, it was because Du Shen wanted to collect pseudo-divine power along the way.

The sky was not clear, Du Shen did not rest, hurriedly left the stronghold, and went on the road alone.

At the same time, in the far east, somewhere in a dense forest, several young figures were silently waiting.

The cold winter is not completely over, and it is especially cold in the early hours of the morning. Although several figures were wearing extremely thick coats, the crowd still felt unbearable because there was no fire. A few young men stomped their feet from time to time, walking back and forth. The two men squeezed back to back, trying to draw warmth from their partner's body.

There was a chubby girl who turned around and called out to her companions: "Helenie ......"

The woman who was called angrily reprimanded: "Musha, shut up! From now on, you should call my pseudonym Helen." You'd better get used to it!"

The fat girl Miao Sha shrank her neck aggrievedly, and trotted twice on the spot: "Isn't it that we haven't met yet! It's so cold, it's dark, and there will be no one else around." Miusa said as she leaned closer to Helenny. She squeezed hard at her companion: "It's cold! ”

Miusa was fat and had a lot of strength, and she squeezed Helenie to a stumbling block.

Helenie quickly reached out and held the tree beside her. She steadied herself, leaned close to Misha's ear, and reminded in a serious whisper: "Miusa, we are going to be spies now! There is no room for negligence! If the wizard finds out our true identity, what do you think will happen to us? From now on, you are Miusa, and I am Helen." You'd better forget who you used to be from now on!"

"Got it!" said Musara, in a long voice. She pursed her lips and raised her head unconvinced: "You know to be careful, then you still mention spies?"

"You!" Helenie sulked, and suddenly stepped back. Musa slumped and nearly fell.

The two girls whispered awkwardly. The surrounding figures also crowded with each other, whispering.

Time passes, and I don't know how long it will be until dawn. Suddenly, the sound of branches breaking in the nearby woods sounded. The voice was so low that only a few people noticed. But then, a relatively clear footsteps sounded nearby, getting closer and closer.

The group of people in the center of the forest suddenly became nervous. They gathered together and were secretly on guard.

The footsteps disappeared, and a faint flame suddenly appeared, floating in the air. The flames illuminate the scene within a radius of several meters. Helenie could see a tall, thin figure standing beside the tree in front of her.

The figure was a middle-aged man with an expressionless face. He was well-dressed and wore a felt hat with a wide brim. The man silently looked at Heleni and the others, and said for a long time: "I am Taft, and I am also the leader of the bottomless tree hole." I heard you're all trained?"

Taft was silent for a long time, expressing displeasure: "I have been watching you for a long time. Your performance is far from reassuring. Your division commander must have reminded you many times of the things that need to be watched. I only hope that you don't expose me too soon. ”

Taft turned. Behind his shoulders, two small flames suddenly appeared. Taft strides: "Come with me! From now on, you are my apprentice disciples, and you are also a full member of the Bottomless Tree Cave. I'm only responsible for bringing you to the Shadowkeep. Everything else has nothing to do with me!"

Helenie and the others followed in Taft's footsteps. The three clusters of flames floating in the air spread out slightly, illuminating the path under their feet.

There was silence all the way, and everyone walked out of the woods. Taft did not extinguish the floating flames. He led the people across a small river into a valley. The valley is long, slightly curved and twisted. Passing through the valley, Taft continued to lead the group over the hills.

The sky turned slightly white, and more than a dozen figures appeared in the col ahead. Two middle-aged people stepped forward, and one of them smiled and said, "Taft, I can't imagine that you are usually indifferent, and you actually accept so many apprentices!"

Taft smiled, "Actually, they're not apprentices. It's just that, since it's going to a new place, of course, it's better to have more people. ”

The two middle-aged men nodded yes. They spoke to Taft in a low voice.

Taft took the time to order Helenie and the others to meet up with the figure opposite. The dozen or so figures on the opposite side were the apprentices of two middle-aged wizards.

The people will gather together. Many of the apprentices stood silently to one side, and a few apprentices introduced each other and talked softly.

The sky is getting brighter and brighter, and the morning sun is rising. The Tafts, who were exchanging witchcraft, suddenly stopped talking. The trio looked into the distance.

In the distance, in the woods, a woman's figure appeared. The woman was young, dressed in leather armor and carrying a short sword at her waist. She rushed to the crowd at great speed.

"Good day...... The woman smiled and called out the names of the three middle-aged wizards, "Are you all members of the Bottomless Tree Cave here?"

Taft three affirmed separately.

"Alright," the new wizard invited sideways, "please come with me." I will lead you to the great team. Everyone took care of each other so that they could cope with the difficulties of the journey. ”

Knowing the plan of action earlier, Taft calmly instructed their apprentices to go on their way.

Most of the time, the sorceress is at the forefront of the way, and sometimes she walks among the apprentices. As she walked, the sorceress smiled and exclaimed to the apprentice beside her, "My name is Nicole. Welcome to the wizard's new realm, the Shadow Keep. There, everyone will be properly resettled and better developed......"

Nicole resembles a mischievous fawn, jumping back and forth in front of the procession. With her gentle introduction, the apprentices gradually got a rough impression of Shadowkeep and this journey. The uneasiness in the hearts of the apprentices slowly dissipated.

Nicole continued: "Some of you, I'm afraid you haven't become knights yet, don't worry, ordinary people don't need to go directly through the wasteland. When we reach the edge of the wasteland, you'll stay for a few days. We're going to call the portal and help you cross the wasteland directly......"

When Nicole speaks of the portal, she naturally refers to the Tide Gate. In fact, because the portal has almost been reduced to the exclusive use of Du Shen, several gathering points on the edge of the wasteland belt have accumulated thousands of ordinary people, waiting to go to the new territory.

Fortunately, this issue will be solved soon. It's not that Du Shen intends to hand over the Tidegate Gate. It's that Teresa is about to get a new portal.

While Du Shen was exploring the ruins, so did Teresa and the others. According to the records of the secret book, there are still 5 treasures left behind by Teressa's ancestors. The one in the Ring of the Stars is one of them. Originally, there were originally 15 treasure troves in total, but some of them had already been used by Teresa's ancestors.

Now that Teressa's strength has been greatly improved, it's time to try to unlock the remaining four treasure troves. With the knowledgeable Mario as a counselor, there are plenty of wizards to drive around. Although there were twists and turns in the exploration process of the treasure house, they were successful one after another.

Four treasure houses, storing a large amount of war materials and a small amount of cultivation resources. The vast majority of materials may only be counted as low-end resources in ancient times. But in the modern age of witchcraft, it is a rare help.

This includes a pair of short-distance portals. The effective distance of the portal is less than a thousand kilometers. Fortunately, the portal can be activated at any time, and it does not consume too many resources. With its help, it can greatly promote the transfer of population.

Some of the equipment in the treasure trove is extremely good, but unfortunately it is only suitable for wizards. However, those cultivation resources can provide great help to Du Shen and Shadow Dragon. Naturally, most of it was later occupied by Du Shen.

Du Shen explored the ruins, and collected pseudo-divine power along the way, which took more than two months. On this day, Du Shen returned to the territory of the Holy Empire. He arrived at the pre-agreed stronghold and instantly returned to his new territory through the Tidegate Gate.

After that, there will be wizards who close the Tidegates, farther to the west. Shadowkeep intends to extend its tentacles and gather the power of wizards on a larger scale.

Du Shen returns to Newcastle and finds Mario, who has just returned two days ago. From the pendant, he threw out a large number of "garbage": moldy parchments, broken crystal balls, broken leg bones, weathered stone bricks, broken oil paintings......

Du Shen threw the garbage on the table and urged: "Help me sort out and analyze these things." Their materials, and the knowledge of some of the objects......"

"What kind of is this?" said Mario, mockingly slapping himself on the shoulders and knees, "I say, you can't be sympathetic to the old man." I've been traveling with Teresa for just over two months. Can't you let me rest for a while?"
