Time passed, and in mid-November, the Silent Forest had already snowed heavily under the influence of cold air.

Road construction in the kingdom has come to a standstill, but the harvest has been completed, and the year has been a mixed one—the population has plummeted, and many villages have not even had many men to plough. However, the good news is that after the autumn statistics were over, the originally barren Ivta region successfully fed the devastated southeastern region with explosive grain production. Coupled with the drop in freight costs due to the unblocked roads, and the Cabinet's food price cap policy, this winter is not too sad for the living people.

There are also many dragons in Hollier City who have a festival in the Hellchino Magic Tower, and the scene is very grand. The wood elf Nata was curious about this, but she could only reverie at the images of "The Age of Karen" - and now she naturally didn't have time to look at this, fastened her warm coat, and Nata continued to search for her target in the cold wind.

At the moment, Nata's mood is actually not good, because during this time, the intelligence bureau has been everywhere to prove that there seems to be more than one "ruin" in the Silent Forest.

The "Wagra Ruins" are traps that have been specially camouflaged by the intelligence services. All the books and materials in there are forged, in order to achieve the effect, every time a mercenary group goes in to explore, there will be someone to go in and rearrange it, and at the same time, this mercenary team will also be tracked, and those books or cultural relics that have been sold as treasures will also be traced to their whereabouts...

However, the news of "another ruin" disrupted all previous plans - you must know that the ruins of the Imperial City of Wagra are very large, and according to historical records, the towns and villages around the Imperial City should have disappeared into the long river of time, but Nata believes after investigating... Someone has indeed discovered new ruins that the Intelligence Service has never mastered!

It's just that there is still a lack of relevant evidence, either to find the ruins, or to find physical evidence of the existence of the ruins, otherwise Nata will not be able to report to the cabinet with some rumors, because it is also possible that this is a smoke bomb set by the enemy to confuse the public.

Faced with this situation, she can only apply to the Intelligence Bureau to send more people to search for clues. In order to ensure concealment, this kind of search cannot be carried out with great fanfare, so it is now released by a three-member team of the Intelligence Bureau. And Nata, as the wood elf who is most familiar with the Silent Forest, is obligated to rush to the forefront.

Because she is so good at recognizing the jungle, Nata is surrounded by none other than Nora and another Tyflin Casen. The agile trio is far more efficient than the other squads. They didn't search blindly, but tracked down those mercenary groups in the forest - the news and rumors were released by the other party, so the clues naturally had to be found among these people.

The team of mercenaries who dare to enter the forest this season is not good. Nata's men were each following the mercenary team to keep an eye on it, and she herself was following a team of ten mercenaries at this time:

"We were two or three days behind. ”

Nata identified the footprints on the ground, and Nora next to her carefully studied the tracking technique, but the group hadn't gone far before she suddenly sniffed, "It doesn't taste right." ”

Tevelin's sense of smell is more sensitive than that of wood elves and humans, and the smell of blood in the air is very sensitive to them, Nata's expression tightened, and the three of them immediately followed the traces to speed up the chase, and sure enough, it didn't take long for them to find the corpses of humans in a place...

"Make sure it's safe all around. ”

Tevelyn Kaysen climbed up the tree to look around, reporting on the situation. Nata and Nora frowned at the eyes—it was clearly a set up camp. If you want to maintain your physical strength while resting in winter, you must set up a tent, otherwise the cold wind will definitely blow people stupid. Five improvised tents can be seen in the camp at the moment, but three of them have collapsed and appear to have been crushed by some external force.

The corpses were in view, and some of these human mercenaries still had weapons in their hands, but they did not escape the fate of death. It's just that the more Nata looks at it, the more she frowns - because they died very strangely.

"Monster attack?"

Nora looked at the stiffened corpse on the ground and took a closer look, but said, "No, there are no monsters or beast footprints here... There are a lot of scorched spots on their clothes, could it be that they have been attacked by mages?"

Nata reached out and picked up his longsword from the side of a corpse, the hilt of which was still carved with magic patterns, obviously a valuable magic weapon, but its blade was bent and even melted by some external force. The one who can do this is probably at least a mid-level magician.

"What are the magicians doing here to attack the mercenary group?"

The most bizarre thing is that nothing is missing from these mercenary camps, Nata rummages through them and finds that the intact weapons, equipment and even the silver coins in their pockets are still there, which proves that the attackers are not trying to make money - you must know that the mercenary groups that take place in the field are often killed for money.

She continued to rummage, hoping to find some clue in these things, and then her eyes were fierce: because in the pocket of a tent, Nata saw several relief stone slabs.

The style of the relief was very familiar to her, as Nata had seen similar patterns in both Elson and Hercino's Magic Tower... And this means that this thing in front of you must be the work of a high elf!

After many days of pursuit, there was finally a clue, and Nata reached out to take out the stone slab, judging from the edge marks, it should have been directly chiseled with an axe. She was personally involved in the process of "forgery" of the ruins of Wagra, so it was clear that this was not something inside the ruins of Wagra. In other words, the news that there are other ruins in the Silent Forest is conclusive at this time!

But bigger doubts followed... How did the people who had managed to find the ruins die? Who did they provoke?

After checking around, Nata gathered up all the things related to the High Elf ruins and prepared to take them with her. Nora had already probed around at this moment and said loudly, "There are nine people here, but there are ten kettles. ”

"Someone escaped?"

"It should be, but this person should know how to reverse tracking and leave no footprints. ”

Nora pointed to the snow next to it, there was a small horizontal mark on it, which was not obvious lateral, this was the footprint after being swept by a branch, it was still possible to distinguish it up close, and after walking thirty meters, there was no obvious mark to confirm, and the possibility of tracking was zero.

"What now? to find this ruin?"

Nora analyzed the current situation: "This group of people has explored the ruins and then been attacked, and the traces we saw before are still within three days, so have they not moved in the past few days? Does that mean the ruins are nearby?"

This is indeed a judgment in the right direction, but Nata shook her head directly: "Don't ignore the danger behind this, this group of people died strangely, who knows what will happen if they rush to find the ruins?"

She put the relief slab on her back, grabbed her longbow and said, "Return now." ”

Nata is the leader, and Nora and Kaysen naturally do not refuse such an order. Besides, what she said was reasonable, Nora's originally relaxed mood began to tense, and the three of them quickly left the camp and headed towards Elsa's village - but they had not gone far when a buzz suddenly sounded behind them.

"Get out of the way!"

Nata's voice fell, and the three of them suddenly lit up, and a deafening explosion sounded, and a shock blasted the three of them out!

However, after landing, Nata and the two Tevelins were unscathed, as their leather armor was equipped with hedrons that passively activated shields—but the blow still blew off the two trees next to them, bringing up a large cloud of dirt and snow mist.

Nata raised her longbow and fired three arrows in a row, and a muffled grunt was heard in the distance, but there were seven or eight shadows in the snow mist, and before Nora and Kaisen could fight back, a large spell flickering light flickered again!
