Chapter 47: The Secret Stronghold
Carrying the "five-flowered" archer girl in the mage's hand, and avoiding the charred flesh and broken stones, Punk walked back behind the stone wall where he had been used to "rest" in the first place, where the other wolf and McNessy were waiting.
"Bang"!
Punk threw the girl to the ground, then saluted McNessy formulaically and said, "Dear Lord McNessy, do you need to get the vitality of this enemy to recover?"
Although Punk lowered his head, his perception had been put to the maximum, and the whole person was in a state of alert like a taut bowstring, this was another test of Punk to McNessy, if Mynessy could indeed absorb the life force of others to recover quickly, Punk would have to seriously consider whether to take a huge risk and sneak attack this half-crippled official mage after entering the secret passage. Because spending a lot of time in the company of a mage with the ability to absorb life force is like putting your head in the mouth of a lion to sleep - dangerous, crazy! Punk can't accept this dangerous situation!
Completely ignoring the girl on the ground, who was already showing some signs of awakening, he stared at Punk with an inexplicable look of deep eyes, as if Punk was some kind of incomprehensible monster that he had to see through as soon as possible.
After a long time, Mainessy opened her mouth faintly and said in a hoarse voice: "My life element cultivation direction is 'creation' rather than 'acquisition', and her vitality is meaningless to me."
"I see, it's an extra move."
Punk replied "respectfully", although he didn't believe McNessy's words, but at least in the current situation, he could continue to cooperate, so he calmly raised his head and picked up the girl who had woken up.
The archer girl was lifted into the air by the punk, and when she realized something bad, she began to try in vain to break the vine binding, and kept cursing and cursing in her mouth: "Pervert, let me down, you won't die well............"
However, neither Punk nor Menessy responded to the meaning of this "delicate" girl, and Punk even walked to the edge of the stone wall, and he pulled off the ruby necklace around the girl's neck, due to the rough movements, a bruise immediately appeared on the girl's snow-white neck, and at the same time, with the sound of several low spells, a lilac mage hand also appeared in front of the girl's head......
Completely ignoring the archer girl's tearful pleading gaze, Punk did not hesitate to control the mage's hand and begin to exert force............
"Laha ............"
A large handful of plasma stained the entire stone wall black and red, and then the punk kicked it, and a round object bounced twice on the ground before disappearing into a crack in the ruins............
"We need to hurry, the hostel is right in front"!
McNessy watched indifferently as Punk put the magic necklace in the pocket of his robe, and reminded him unhurriedly.
"Yes, Lord Menessey".

Mynessy's secret stronghold is actually hidden in the cellar of the inn, which was originally large enough to hold a few sacks of potatoes, but has now been magically expanded to the size of a basketball court.
Walking into this dark and oppressive cellar, Punk found that there were many magic runes carved on the walls of the cellar, which seemed to have a good reinforcement effect, I have to say that the formal mage is a big deal, this semi-permanent enchantment can actually cover such a large area, although the enchanted house looks simple, but in terms of sturdiness, it is much stronger than those flashy and luxurious castles, but ...... The lighting here is a bit ............ Unsightly, only two pathetic light dances glued to the ceiling as lighting tools, which resulted in an unusually ample atmosphere of the "secret stronghold" throughout the cellar.
McNessey and Punk were greeted by the alchemy puppet who was in charge of reception in the Mage's Guild, and after a while, the little guy was getting more and more dazed, and was doing some cleaning work, and after a moment of stunned observation when he saw Punk walk into the cellar, he shouted in a somewhat disgusted male duck voice: "Someone's coming!
Fortunately, the soldiers' reaction speed was not slow, and soon two apprentice-level soldiers ran to the door, holding their weapons and shields to "welcome the road", but they looked very imposing, and they were first overjoyed when they saw Menessi, and then they were stunned by Menessi's "shocking" wound.
Menessi, who had just used a levitation spell on himself, was visibly upset to see his soldiers behaving so "embarrassed", which made Punk complain, and he didn't think about how scary it was to let half of his body float in the air like a ghost.
However, the soldiers did not recognize their boss just because they were half of their body missing, so when they learned that Menessy was back, all the remaining loyal elites gathered into a room that could barely be called a living room, and Her Royal Highness the princess hugged Mynecy with rain and refused to let go, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned, and completely lost the heroic appearance of giving a speech in the square.
Seeing the princess crying bitterly while holding Menessy, and the warriors around her also secretly wiping their tears, Punk just wanted to ask if he could quickly open the secret passage and escape, and it was not too late to cry outside, but seeing that the old mage next to him was crying like a child, Punk silently decided to continue to be silent.
"Sir, you ............"
The princess tried to stop the "half-left" Menessy from getting up and moving, but Menessy, who wanted to interrupt the sad "feast", gently pushed the princess's arm away.
"Soldiers, ............," Menessy glanced at the few soldiers with his fighting eyes.
β...... In this battle, we lost, but! Our Royal Highness the princess is still there, and the spirit of our Camos Kingdom is still there!
Menessy's words were sonorous and powerful.
"Are you willing to follow Her Royal Highness with me until the end of your life"!
"Willing to !!"
All the soldiers stood up neatly, with the greatest strength, the most powerful voice, and the most standard posture, and performed the most standard military salute representing loyalty, and the old mage next to the punk was even more vocal in his voice.
"Good...... You're all doing well, now! Let's leave Konora, sooner or later, we'll be back!Come back! Come back here! Come back to Konora! Come back and take back our glory"!
Due to the urgency of time, even McNessy could only briefly come to a pledge meeting, after saying these "chicken soup for the soul", in the deafening roar of the soldiers, McNessy's flexible manipulation of the levitation technique carried himself, and the surrounding soldiers also consciously got out of the way, full of calm and confidence, he slowly came to a seemingly inconspicuous wall.
And then............ There was no glittering brilliance, no rumbling roar, only a dark hole that appeared silently on the walls, and most importantly...... No one, including the systematic punk, could detect even the slightest sign of magic or a trace of spell casting, as if the hole had appeared there in an instant!
Until he walked into the hole, the punk who followed behind the passionate warrior was still deeply afraid of McNessy's method, a formal-level powerhouse is a formal-level powerhouse, even if he is in an embarrassing near-death state, it can't be underestimated!
