Lear was depressed.

In order to prevent a possible enemy attack on Hot Springs - after all, there are lessons from the rangers, and he left most of the orcs including Caron and Guina there before leaving, after all, Adela is still in the magic guild of Hot Spring City, and Lear had been to see it before leaving, although the female mage's learning progress is as fast as he expected, it still takes a month to fully master the magic inside.

So he only brought twenty orc warriors, Mrak, Ivo, and Haag with him, and in his opinion, plus Jenny and her forest warriors, it should be more than enough to escort these thirty or so captives who have been tied up and the mages among them have been subjected to silence.

And then they were surrounded.

Well, after more than a year, the talent of being 100% surrounded and robbed has finally been triggered again.

The enemy is a mixed army of hundreds of goblins and cavemen, who claim to be the masters of the Elven Forest (the area between Hot Springs and Lucky City), and require Lear and the others to pay a toll of five gold coins per head, thanks to the gleaming axes in the hands of the orcs and the sharp spears in the hands of centaur warriors.

According to the goblin military master (self-proclaimed) who had worked as a foot merchant in the human world, this was already a discount for the sake of their numbers, and if it weren't for the friendship between the two races in the same forest, they would have attacked directly.

Lear looked helplessly at Jenny next to him, and the meaning in his eyes was that it was really embarrassing for you to be neighbors with such a retarded creature.

Jenny couldn't read it.

As the weakest creature in the stronghold and dungeon, the goblins and cave people in front of him are not taken seriously by Lear despite their numbers, he is just curious how Jenny will solve this matter.

Because judging from the other party's calm expression, it is obvious that this is not the first time she has encountered this situation.

"As for your leader, I need to talk to him. ”

Jenny flipped off her horse and calmly walked in front of the goblin military division.

"Not a cunning woman!, the leader of the Turan refuses to talk to you, this time we only need gold coins, and we will not listen to a word of your rhetoric. ”

Lear's high-pitched voice amused Lear, it seems that this is not the first time that this group of mentally retarded people has been fooled, and Jenny has already been blacklisted by them.

I can't see that the female medical officer still has such a dark side.

"Then you can tell him that if he doesn't appear in front of me within five minutes, I'll break out of your encirclement, and if my warriors get the slightest damage, the army of Lucky City will level your lair later. ”

In this way, the female medic was in a rather bad mood, and perhaps the peace-loving druids had chosen to compromise to give the little goblins a little sweetness, and they thought that they were really the masters of the forest.

"You must be crazy, you dare to threaten the master of the great fairy forest!"

The Goblin Master shouted, but its panicked eyes betrayed the fear inside, and it was clear that it knew who was the true owner of the forest if it was more serious.

Jenny ignored the goblin strategist and turned back to her horse, then shook her whip with a snap in the air, and the horses under her rushed forward.

The bandits who stood in the way scattered in terror like water waves.

"I thought you'd talk to them, because it looks like you've been doing pretty well before. ”

Lear rode to Jenny's left and quipped.

"If it weren't for the Wemble's massacre and the captives, I would, but I'm not in the mood to do that now. ”

After saying this, Jenny looked straight ahead, and seemed to have no desire to talk, so Lear had to put away his intention to chat.

In fact, the most important thing that the female medic did not say was that she was very reluctant to wait there for too long after seeing Lear's methods, and these neighbors were not strictly greedy, but they were not very bad, and even helped the elves defend themselves against the Erathians in the early days of the war, the weak creatures who insisted that they were part of the forest and had an obligation to defend themselves against foreign invaders.

It was in this context that Jenny was reluctant to involve Lear, because she knew that it would be a disaster—a disaster for the goblins, and her tough attitude was actually more to protect these poor creatures who were ignorant, because they didn't even know what kind of danger they were in.

Five days later, in the City of Fortune, Everyfretin met them at the gates of the city, and since the last defeat, the Erathians had retreated to Hammondale Castle, with only a few peeking eyes occasionally visible around the boulder mines.

After a series of battles, the war finally entered a stalemate again, and the two sides of the bloody battle silently licked their wounds in the lair, preparing to fight to the death after the injuries were healed.

Lear watched as the captives were taken into the barracks and followed Offretin to the council chamber, he didn't care what happened to the men - they would have to be returned sooner or later, and Alisha was waiting for him.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had been received by a high-level since he came to the Forest of No Return, and an eighth-level druid was probably as strong as a human eighth-level magician.

Lear was in his mind.

In fact, when it comes to casting ability and casting speed, the former is a little stronger. The strength of the latter lies in the accumulation of magic power and the control of spells, both of which must be at least level nine or above to show advantages.

The classification of the current mage is very simple, the more spells of the same level mastered, the higher the level, but this level is only up to the ninth level, and if you become an archmage, it is another division method.

But those who have mastered forbidden spells, like the old Abbot Palofodi, are not among them.

Beneath the large map hanging in the council hall, Lear meets Elisha.

"Here he comes, Your Excellency. ”

Everettin bowed slightly to Elisha and then retreated, the high-ranking druids in the forest would always get more respect, but the dwarf's originally stubby body was bent like this again, and after being stuck by his own huge belly, it looked like a ball.

It took Lear a great deal of effort to suppress the urge to go up and kick the dwarf in the ass, and he was relieved until Everritin's figure had completely disappeared from the door.

Whew, it's dangerous, kick it and die.

"Hello, young man, I have heard of your deeds, and on behalf of the foresters, I would like to thank you for your contribution to us. ”

Elisha turned to look at the young man in front of her, her deep eyes glowing with wisdom.

"You're welcome, you've paid me enough, and the fact that the red crystals and yellow-orange-orange gold coins make me feel your heart more intuitively, and that's why I'm here. ”

The first time he saw Elisha, Lear decided that it was better for everyone to be honest with each other, this kind of old fox with special intelligence even has calculating little stars on his eyelashes, don't look at his current smiling face of a kind elder, I don't know when he was sold.

"Hahaha, such an interesting young man as you, I haven't seen it in a long time. ”

Alisha looked at Lear with a genuine appreciation in her eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment, do you have any instructions for me?"

Pretending to be more than that, everyone is a smart person, it's good to stop when you click, and it's very boring to blindly pretend to be stupid or vulgar, so Lear will accept it when he sees it.

"I can't talk about it, after all, strictly speaking, you only have friendship with us and have no obligations, but I've heard Eufrittin talk about you a few times, so I'm very interested, I heard that you want to enter the magic guild in Lucky City to study?"

Although the Forest Elves do not have a Magical Guild, they do have a similar organization, the Magical Senate, where druids and warlocks, as well as elves who have the qualifications to become druids, are free to enter the Magical Guild, but outsiders must get their permission to enter.

"Yes, if you allow it. ”

Lear is also very single, and since the other party brought it up, he generously admitted that it was meaningless to bend his intestines in front of Elisha.

"I appreciate your knowledge and desire to explore the wizarding world, but it's a pity that the magic guild in Lucky City is only level two, and you're already a level two magician, so the help I can provide you with is probably very limited, of course, if you still want to enter, I can promise you. ”

In fact, the magic guild in Lucky City had already been built on five floors long before the war began, but unlike Lear's imagination, the magic guild was only an empty shell after it was built, and the magic pages were created with a mixture of a large number of precious materials, and the spells in it could only be obtained by sacrificing to the goddess of luck.

Before, he had always thought that he relied on the Mage Guild to collect the magic scroll and seal it in the magic guild, until the last time he and Jenny inadvertently talked about this topic, he solved his doubts, different races have different beliefs, but the magic recorded in their magic guild is obtained through this channel.

Originally, the druids of Lucky City were ready to sacrifice to Lady Luck to upgrade the magic guild, but the sudden war disrupted their plans, and now that the war has developed to the current situation, even if they want to sacrifice, the resources are not enough.

"Level two?"

Lear was a little stunned, when he first walked into the council, he obviously saw a five-story tower under the half-built Dragon Cliff in the distance, but then he remembered what Jenny had told him, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

"Why don't you sacrifice it, as far as I know, if you want to get the help of the golden dragon, a higher level of magic tower and dragon cliff are essential, right?"

Lear asked curiously.

"Indeed, as you said, this is what we want to do, but now that the war has progressed, we don't have enough power to craft the magic title page and complete the sacrifice. ”

Alisha shook her head and smiled wryly.

"How much worse?"

Learton was interested, knowing that by kidnapping Eldred, he had knocked a hammer out of Count Svia, and if the gap was not particularly large, he would be happy to help the druid, after all, it was also for his own benefit.

"There is no problem with crystals, but if we have to build a high-level dragon cliff and pray for the help of the golden dragons in the future, it will definitely not be enough, there is a small amount of sulfur gems stored at about thirty kilograms, and as for mercury, we don't have a drop. ”

Depend on!

It's not enough to sell me!
