Ji Ran used his knowledge to continuously improve the design drawings of the magic weapon. The most basic function can naturally be achieved lightly, but Ji Ran doesn't just want an ordinary magic weapon.

This magic weapon must be of the gold level. The materials used must also be the best! Especially for the core, it's best to find a strong enough Elven Ancient Tree, and then take a branch or leaf from it......

Of course, don't think about the tree of life. Even Erin herself wouldn't allow Ji Ran to touch it, so he could only retreat to the branches and leaves of other powerful elven ancient trees to refine the core of the magic weapon.

But the problem is, he can't go back to the Elven Forest now! Things in the Western Plateau have become more and more severe, and now leaving the Western Plateau, it is impossible to say what will happen. It comes and goes, and it takes too much time.

Then, you can only look for other plant materials that contain strong natural forces as the core. But in the Western Plateau, there are really not many plants...... Especially trees. Trees that can grow for thousands of years, that's even less.

Besides, not all trees can be used as cores...... It's not easy to find the right material.

Since we can't find the right material for the time being, let's get the design out first. At this point, Ji Ran's efficiency is still quite high. Little by little, the design was perfected, both the internal structure and the external shape. Now it seems that this magic weapon has begun to take shape.

However, at this time, another thing happened, which temporarily interrupted Ji Ran's magic weapon refining plan.

The first armies of humanity. Arrived at the Western Plateau.

The distance between humans and the western plateau is the shortest. The Ere Empire is directly bordered by the Western Highlands - although the Dwarven Dragon's Back Mountains and the Elven Forest are not too far from the Western Highlands. There are similarities with each other, but none of them are as convenient as the Ere Empire.

When the human army entered the western plateau, it was not a blatant direct pull-in - the cliff would be discovered by the True God Order, and then a bloody battle would begin...... Nobody wants that.

Therefore, the human army, disguised as a caravan, entered the western plateau one after another. Elves and dwarves are too pronounced to enter. Still waiting for the opportunity to study the plan.

When these human armies enter the Western Plateau, they may contact their reconnaissance team, but they will not contact Ji Ran and them. After all, most of Ji Ran and the others are human beings, but what they represent is the elven kingdom.

The reconnaissance team is a secret to all countries, and there is absolutely no reason to tell others lightly. Therefore, it is only natural that the human army will not sue them in advance.

It was discovered that the human army had entered the western plateau because of a few caravans that had recently entered the bloody landings. Let Ji Ran, Les and others see the abnormality.

The lineup of these caravans is a bit too luxurious. The bodyguards are almost all silver level five or sixth, and there are a few cars in them, which are said to be loaded with goods, but in fact, there are magic arrays in them that shield and detect...... For others, it may not be felt, but it is impossible for an alchemy master like Ji Ran to be concealed.

In addition, after those caravans entered the tribe, they were not too enthusiastic about doing business, but seemed to be on the way, which naturally made everyone see that something was wrong.

It's just that these armies are not Liber's, nor are they from the Knight Business Federation, nor are they from the Holy Light Church...... It's the Ere Empire's.

If you want to say which country Ji Ran has the worst relationship with, it is the Ere Empire.

Liber and they have a good relationship with the crown prince and the crown princess, and Solan, an alchemy master, is a partner with them, so the relationship is naturally quite good. Not to mention the Knight Business Federation, which can be regarded as the base camp of everyone...... Although Professor Sergei and Professor Lawrence are not the leaders of a big force, their influence in Perth City is also very important, which can naturally reassure Ji Ran and the others.

They don't have much to do with the Holy Light Church, but this force generally doesn't have any hostility towards other human forces. What's more, Ji Ran had a good relationship with that holy woman, at least they could be called friends. If you want to communicate, you can talk about it.

But the Ere Empire is different. There are quite a lot of people who have enmity with Ji Ran, and no one will have a good impression of them. Although Les was born in the Bright family, their relationship with the Bright family is now ...... Hehe, it's definitely not good anyway.

In this way, they don't have much interest in the army of the Ere Empire...... Although they are both human beings, they are also close and close. In Ji Ran's words, it is "different ways do not conspire".

These Ere Empire's armies didn't come too much at once, and even if they were caravans, it was a little too noticeable to come too much at once. However, there were obviously some high-ranking people among them, and after reaching the top of the blood, they began to ask their men to look around, and sought out other human scouting teams to find out the situation.

Soon, they learned what had happened to the blood top...... Of course, they wouldn't have known about the agreement reached between Ji Ran and the others and Chief Karaman, nor would they know that Ji Ran had sold the Blood Tops to—oh no, it was introduced to the Liber Kingdom. They just knew that not long ago, someone had clashed with the True God Cult not far away, rescued thousands of professionals, and had a fight with a powerful True God cultist of the Golden Middle Rank—and it seemed that they had killed each other!

This rumor was quickly confirmed, because there were not a few adventurers who saw the corpse of Hercules in the first place.

There are also huge icicles, and some people advance on the spot, etc., which were also known to the army of the Ere Empire. Too many people know about this news, and it is definitely impossible to hide it if they want to.

It's just that the reconnaissance team of the Ere Empire won't get much information...... Although the current crisis of the book is continent-wide, human nations will not be honest with each other because of the good habits of infighting between them...... The reconnaissance team of the Liber Kingdom naturally would not tell the Sù Ere Empire about Ji Ran and the others matching them with each other.

In a sense, what each country has to do in the western plateau is similar to dividing territory. Every large tribe is the object of being fought over, and countries that strive for more large tribes to form alliances will naturally have more right to speak.

No one wants to be sent to the front as cannon fodder in this crisis, and in order to get out of the role of cannon fodder, various countries will inevitably compete for the right to speak in this incident. How much trust can be gained from the orc tribe is obviously one of the conditions that can determine the right to speak.

Taking advantage of the proximity to the Western Plateau, the Ere Empire prepared its army early, and then drove to the Western Plateau and began to contact the orc tribes everywhere. But there are not many orc tribes that can be subdued by them. Among them, they also encountered several orc tribes controlled by the True God Order, and they didn't dare to startle the snakes, so they could only quietly withdraw first.

They are not like Ji Ran and the others, who turned the other party upside down with the strength of just a few people...... If they make a move, the momentum of the human army will inevitably be impossible to keep secret, and then the problem will be big.

And it is not so easy to convince the chiefs and shamans of those orc tribes. There is no basis for your words, you say that the True God Order is planning something to destroy the orcs, and we will believe it?

There is no evidence in hand, and those armies are helpless. They could only send people to monitor the orc tribes controlled by the True God Order, so that they could detect their movements as soon as possible, and then take various measures.

This time when it came to the top of the blood, it was also the army of the Ere Empire that took a fancy to this large tribe.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual outside the tribe, it was conceivable that the True God Sect's power here was not too large. So, the chiefs and shamans here are good partners to work with! If they can be convinced, then the army will have a base in the western plateau, or a base in the center!

Anyone can imagine how much of this is worth.

It's just that they don't know that this orc tribe has already communicated with the Liber Kingdom...... The Kingdom of Liber has promised to provide a large amount of material aid to the bloodshed...... There are quite a few equipment weapons in it.

The Kingdom of Liber is a kingdom of alchemy...... There is absolutely no shortage of all kinds of alchemical products. Dwarven products are definitely reluctant to give to these orcs, but even the weapons and equipment refined by human craftsmen and alchemists are enough to make the orcs ecstatic.

The Ere Empire now wants to intervene...... You have to ask first, Ji Ran, do they agree?

Now the Karaman chieftain and the great shaman don't believe in anyone, just believe in them!

Ji Ran and they are not prejudiced against the Eray Empire, but in this matter, they have already promised Libel, and now they turn their heads to Ere, isn't it untrustworthy? Besides, even in terms of proximity, the Kingdom of Liber is much more pleasing than the Ere Empire.

Therefore, after conspiring with the chief and the great shaman, Ji Ran and the others decided to hang these troops of the Ere Empire first. Anyway, I won't believe what you say, what can you do with us?

In addition, the attitude of these guys in the Ere Empire is really too bad. Their leader has an attitude of "I am the savior, come to save you, quickly kneel and lick", who can look at him?

Ji Ran and the others did not reveal their identities, so they lived in the hotel as ordinary adventurers, and went out for a walk when they had nothing to do. Nominally an adventure, but in reality to investigate the orc tribes that Karaman and the Great Shaman have identified as anomalous.

The situation of these tribes is indeed a bit strict. These tribes have begun to ban caravans from entering, and there are quite a few black-robed people who enter and exit inside...... To say that the people of the True God Sect are also really stubborn, they usually wear their signature dark red robes for errands, but now they hide their identities and change to black robes......

If you pay a little attention to this thing, who can't see it?

But no matter what, Ji Ran and the others also felt that the tense atmosphere among these orc tribes was getting stronger and stronger. Maybe it won't be long before something happens. (To be continued......)
