In the hot and humid virgin shrub forest, a dense mist rises as the groundwater evaporates. The sound of iron boots crackling on the branches, the neat steps, the strong and condensed gaze, the stainless steel armor that wraps the head and body, and the simple-shaped, cross-shaped sword wrapped around the waist indicate that this is a well-trained knighthood.

At the head were two leaders with very different styles from other knights, a knight in huge silver armor covering the back like a giant beast, thick black hair intertwined with sticky water vapor, and a majestic gaze looking ahead. In front of the giant man was a blonde knight in black armor, his heroic face dripping with sweat, and his tense body under the black iron armor looked like a soldier before the war.

The Marquis of Toth, who was wearing reddish-brown long sleeves behind him, complained with a dissatisfied expression:

"This damn weather, it's hot and uncomfortable"

Compared to the laid-back blonde aristocrat in the tavern before, his current appearance was undoubtedly a little ragged, his robes were cut by dense leaves, and his white face was striped with dirt.

Ares carelessly put aside the locusts on the silver armor, and despised the nagging Torth in his heart. Simon laughed:

"I said sissy, you didn't complain like you do now in that war."

The tone changed, and the positive color said:

"And, here we are"

Wizards have always been synonymous with danger and mystery on the mainland, but anything they come into contact with is crazy.

As Simon stopped, the knights stood still, and behind the crevices in the rocks in front of them, covered by hidden earth and rock, were the coveted wizard ruins. Ordered to send a knight to quickly inspect the hidden dangers around the gap, and after a moment of making sure that it was correct, the group came to the gap formed by the loess stone in front of them.

The Count pondered for a while, and then sent a knight to explore the way, instructing him not to damage the mud and stones, the narrow gap was only the size of an ordinary soldier, and the knight barely managed to pass after taking off his armor.

"Because I'm worried that I'm going to trigger the wizard's means, so.." Simon cautiously returned.

Ares looked down at his mountain-like body, and then looked at the knights around him who were smaller than him, and felt a little uncomfortable, did he run for nothing? He still wants to help the child of Mebes fight for some capital, he shouted in his heart.

Sensing Ares' gaze, Toth stretched out his slender palm to the corner of his mouth, and snickered.

After a while, the knight, who seemed to have reached the finish line, responded:

"No sign of danger, my lord"

Simon's eyes lit up fiercely, and he shouted to the waiting knights on the side, and then took off his armor one by one, stretched out and squeezed into the crack in the stone like a hairless chicken.

Ares and 5 other knights are in charge of guarding the outside and rescuing them in case of emergency.

Void Realm

Mebis looked at the image projected by the Nyx Soul Stone and observed it very carefully. The iron armor is imprinted with white thorns, so there is only the mark of the Lanchester royal family, their purpose, the coordinates teleported by Eve,,,

Although I don't know if my father is being coerced or invited, but at this time I should not be exposed, God knows if there are still wizards in the Ash Continent, Mebis believes that other wizards are not as indifferent to fame and fortune as Gewu, and he almost sits on Baoshan, Yuanjinmai, Thorn Forest, the memory of the creation wizard, and the incomplete Void Fantasy World.

If it is discovered, I am afraid that relying on self-consumption will not be able to stop a mysterious transcendent, he can survive again and again, it is just luck and the unknown in the body, you should be cautious and don't be careless, these days I have already understood how important this truth is.

Mebis secretly pinched off the small grass coordinates that emitted a halo, and the green-eyed crow on the treetops instantly lost its vital signs, and its stiff body fell vertically to the dirt covered with dead grass.

The triangular rune array's dark line connecting the illusory world was broken, and the black tadpole-shaped runes disappeared like ink, leaving only strange geometric stones, hinting at the traces of vanishing.

In the crowded cracks in the stones, the knights faced each other and passed through a narrow tunnel, and finally saw a pile of stones covered with triangles. Count Simon examined the strange stones, and when he saw the small concave dots above the triangle, he sighed heavily and showed a relieved expression, and then carefully took out three bright purple stones from the wooden box tightly wrapped around his waist.

The Earl tucked it into the recess, already thinking about how to distribute the wizard's things after getting them. His brother Pusen, with His Majesty's greedy appetite, must have devoured the largest piece of cake hard, and he had at most a small piece left, not to mention the other members of the royal family, sighed softly, thinking of his favorite daughter, and his gaze became resolute again.

"For the sake of my favorite Winnie"

But expectations are like bubbles, which often shatter when touched. The rune array covered with magic stones on the ground was like a stone sinking into the sea, without a trace, Toth looked disbelieving, and said in a low voice,

"Rumors, not at all."

"So be it, Toth, and get this to His Majesty."

Simon silently picked up the magic stone from the rune array, stuffed it into the box containing the soft wrap, and got up to order the somewhat depressed knights to return to the territory.

"I'm sorry, that's all my father can do"

"But it's not over yet, maybe.."

Toth next to him immediately chattered and complained, interrupting Simon's thoughts,

"This time, I brought a whole three big knights and twenty peak knights, and I couldn't get anything, it's really ah~ah~ahah"

"The recruitment meeting is about to begin, and it seems impossible for His Majesty to forcibly transport the few scraps of the royal family onto the ship."

"That damn madman is going to punish our Golden Tower again, just like he always did."

As if the more he talked, the more fun he became, and Toth's mouth began to tell the secrets of the empire,

"I heard that the Northland is planning to prepare for the south, I.."

"Shut up!!"

"Do you want to die, Toth?!" Simon immediately roared when he heard these words

Then, as if appointed, he looked at the knights around except for his father,

"Fortunately, I am surrounded by my siblings, otherwise, with your identity and me, there will be a war tomorrow, and you must not forget Pusen's increasingly sensitive, scorched heart"

Then he sighed:

"With the weakening power of the empire, the knightly way eroded by wine and women, and the brutal and ignorant lords of all places, do you think you can defeat the strong-willed and strong army of the north?"

"And the deficit of the treasury, and the huge amount of foreign debt," Toth added weakly

"Now we can only wait and see, and we can't change a lot of things, old man."

Simon kicked the stones off the ground and paused:

"No matter how many gifted descendants we send, we can go from a mortal to a legendary wizard in 10 years?"

Simon waved his hand, ending the nihilistic topic.

Ares, who was quietly listening, frowned, not knowing what he was thinking, and seemed to have made a decision to speak into his ear.

Simon blurted out in shock,

"Are you sure?? Where, right away"
