"It's... Yes, village chief, their short spears are so powerful that Lynch was nailed through on the spot ... I want to help him, but, but—"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly began to gasp rapidly, and his cheeks, which were still a little bloody, quickly turned pale, and he stood straight and began to fall aside. The companion on the side hurriedly supported him, but saw that Art's limbs began to twitch involuntarily, and his mouth opened wide to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing this, Barty picked up the magic crystal that belonged to the other party from the wooden table not far away, and when the red crystal was pressed into Art's hand, the dying creature suddenly came to life like a fish re-entering the water...

"Ahem—ahem—"

Att, who inhaled too violently, choked on saliva and coughed violently. His hand gripped the magic crystal so hard that it almost stuck the edges and corners into his palm... However, as the magic slowly spread, he quickly returned to normal. Barty looked at all this indifferently and said in a loud voice, "Go on." ”

Art gathered his thoughts and began to tell the details of the whole battle, and Barty listened to it with a gloomy face, and finally did not ask more, waved them to heal their wounds and eat, and returned to his cabin, and looked at the circle that had been portrayed countless times.

There was a knock on the treehouse's round door, and Barty said "Come in," and a wood elf cautiously leaned in outside: "The village chief... The last batch of things has been moved back. ”

The area of the ruins that were found is not small, and there are naturally a lot of things inside. Many of the most precious books and notes have become fragments, because ordinary paper simply cannot be preserved in the humid forest environment. These are collected by Barty, which are specially protected by the spell. So to this day I can still flip and read. In addition to these things, there are many other items inside the ruins - with Baty's knowledge, he didn't know that this was a large laboratory experimental device, but in line with the principle of "good things should not be left to others", he ordered several of his henchmen to constantly carry those items outward, and take everything that could be taken away, and smash everything that could not be taken.

This has been going on since he discovered the cave half a year ago, and he has to risk his life to do it, even if the weather is cold. After all, a human mercenary group has already discovered it during this time... And now, Barty can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is there any sign of anyone else?"

"Village Chief, there have been a few mercenary groups hanging around recently..."

"That's right... Find the right time to get rid of them once and for all. ”

As he spoke, Barty took out more than a dozen pieces from the magic crystals piled up in front of him: "I know that you have always been cautious in doing things, take these, and let them have no return." ”

"Yes, village chief!"

The colorful magic crystals fluctuated extremely strongly. If it is a normal situation, so many magic crystals are placed together, and the consequence is that the elemental fluctuations between each other affect each other, and eventually lead to an explosion. But for now, Batty casually packed them into a cane pocket, and no matter how much they bumped or shook, they didn't provoke any reaction.

The wood elf leaves, and the wooden door is closed with a "click". The cabin fell silent again, but at this time, the wood elves outside could be faintly heard arguing after the practice, and it was not long before the daily brawl was the same. The wooden walls were not well insulated and the warmth was poor, so Barty put on another leather jacket and sat there staring at the circle in front of him.

His expression looked a little hesitant, because after many days of repeating the circle, Barty now thought that he was at the level required by the note, so he was eager to try to activate it.

Barty is now the most powerful Wood Elf outside of Elsa's Village, and his power brings unimaginable authority, so much so that he has now begun to "rule" most of the Wood Elf villages in the entire Silent Forest—with force, it is natural that he will want to expand. And Elsa Village is a nail in his eyes that "must be pulled".

So Barty began to recruit men from various villages, and began to indoctrinate the emaciated Wood Elves with the words mentioned in the notebook—at first he was just imitating, but as he spoke, his own thinking pattern seemed to change. By now, Barty had been hesitant to "expand", but if he wanted to become an absolute commander, he knew he had to go further than these Wood Elves...

At present, these people can only cast spells through the magic crystal in their hands, and if they don't have this "raw material", they are a waste. Barty wanted to take his fate into his own hands, so he eventually got up and decided to activate the circle that he had carved countless times.

Inlaid the magic crystal into it, Barty carefully moved the stone slab circle taken out of the ruins in front of him to the outside of the house.

He also knew what the consequences of failure would be, so after some thought, he took it to a hidden cave outside the village. In order not to be disturbed, he had his most trusted men guard outside, and no one was allowed to enter.

"If there's any surprise, let Tosta take command. ”

After a few simple explanations, he walked into the cave to quickly complete the preparations, and directly activated this small formation.

The light lit up, and the stable energy output made Barty overjoyed, he secretly clenched his fist, and then held a magic crystal of considerable size, and stood up directly!

For a moment, Barty felt his body being torn apart by the surging force, and he tried to open his mouth wide to make a sound, only to find that he had lost control of his body. Looking down, his body and limbs were translucent in the energy storm, and then completely fell apart!

Barty's heart was cold, he didn't know what the situation was, but once the circle was opened, he couldn't stop at all, and before he could find a way to close it, the violent energy fluctuations completely invaded his mind...

When consciousness regained again, Barty sat up abruptly from the cold ground. When he realizes he's naked, he instinctively wants to find something to cover up, because Barty knows the consequences of hypothermia.

But within a few seconds of his hand being extended, he suddenly realized that he didn't feel cold. Barty looked at his arms in surprise, and suddenly shouted excitedly:

"I succeeded... I made it!"

On the other side, Panda, who had descended from the cliff by a rope, pedaled the mountain wall in front of him with his feet and descended nearly thirty meters all the way before shouting: "Stop!"

There are also mountains in the Silent Forest, but the highest point is only about 200 meters. Therefore, there are no majestic peaks, but this does not mean that there is no precipitous terrain - at this time, the location of Panda and the others is a very hidden "canyon".

Located on the inside of the mountainside, it looks normal from the outside, but if you walk a little further in, you will find a crevasse. The huge mountain seemed to be split by some force, and there was a gap five or six meters wide between the cliffs that went straight up and down, and Panda descended halfway down from here to find the humble cave in front of him.

Panda looked left and right, and there were many footprints in the place where he landed, and there were also traces of climbing on the mountain walls on both sides, indicating that someone had already climbed before him. However, Panda was not surprised, after all, he also found this location accurately according to the clues of the mercenary Ludy. Came here now just to confirm if there's more about the legacy of the High Elves inside.

"Everyone come down one by one, and leave someone to guard it!"

He commanded a team of about forty people to enter the cave to explore, and in order to ensure safety, naturally all of them could not enter. Teams are divided into three groups, one group enters exploration, one group stays outside the cave, and one group keeps watch above, and each group has a rotating roster to conserve stamina.

This made everyone in the Ice Fist Mercenary Regiment feel relieved, originally they were worried that this employer would "command the insider", but now it seems that all the arrangements are very reasonable, obviously a veteran, so their performance is also very positive, but in an hour, sixteen people came below, and at the same time, all kinds of tools such as torches and pickaxes for exploration were transported down.
