Bringing the wounded Atta back to Jiefa Town, there was no further disturbance along the way. Thinking about it, the river monster has very limited influence on natural creatures and the environment, and summoning wolves or causing flash floods is a big burden for them. Those yew people were able to find Atta so quickly, not because they were summoned by the river monsters, it was probably just a transaction. Now that the elf mercenaries have failed, the river monsters have no choice but to devote all their energy to harassing the construction site, and have no time to care about anything else. Besides, Cheese also doubted that she would have the courage to launch a volley against Atta, who had repelled the Yew Legion, and the river monster, despite its vigor, was not as good as the goblins.

"I'll just bring Taran in. The little Ivy girl should have some experience in caring for people. After seeing the wooden wall outside the town, the cat fairy said naturally. Although he was petite, it was not difficult for him to drag or even carry a lightweight human like Atta in a short period of time, "You, just go and do what you want to do." I'll go to the construction site once I've settled, so I don't have to rush back. ”

"Do you know what I'm going to do?" the mage looked at his companion with some surprise. And what he really meant by this was why Kailas would agree that he would act alone in such a state of uncertainty. Just like Kenqi saw that he was hiding something, Cheese didn't think that his intentions could be hidden from the cat goblin, but the latter's personality was likely to deliberately pretend to be stupid and let Cheese return to the construction site quickly to help.

"It's a thankless task anyway. Kairas said angrily, his pupils sharpening as darkness fell, "You could have dealt with the river monster head-on, didn't you?"

Cheese nodded, the river monster was resistant to most spells, making it a tricky opponent for most spellcasters. Grey-robed mages trained from the Grey Tower are not among them. To deal with this kind of mountain and river monsters, there are naturally special methods and spells, just like using a slingshot to hunt birds, and using a wooden fork to catch snakes. A knowledgeable spellcaster may not be the best survival expert in the wild, but he has no natural predators. And the reason why the mage didn't do this, in addition to setting aside time for the people of Jiefa Town to clear the waterways, was mainly because he saw the price to be paid for killing the river monster directly.

"I'm going to try to save someone, someone who shouldn't have died. Her life was tied to that river monster, and I didn't want to do anything to the river monster until I freed her from the magic of the bondage. A somewhat vague explanation. Cheese didn't say who he was saving or what kind of magic it would take a lot of effort to prepare. Atta's lifespan is fading every day, and knowing the inscription of the magic sword does not mean that he can fully master the magic sword, and the library of the City of Ten Thousand Laws is still a place to visit. The longer the delay here, the more unstable the future will be.

Kairaz had reason to reprimand this behavior, he was the member of the squad closest to the female swordsman, and he had reason to be angry at Cheese for ignoring Atta's future. But he didn't, because if he asked Cheese to give up the life of the person in his mouth in exchange for time, when the next time Atta could be sacrificed in exchange for time, what reason would he have to stop Qi from happening? Besides, he was not a cold-blooded person, otherwise he would not have resolutely come to the world to fight against the yew people who were in hot pursuit for Ata, and what drove Kailas was not a sense of honor and profit, he lived a more pure life.

"Go and come back. If you're right, the river monsters will take the time to attack the construction site at night. Of course I and the stupid boy with the stick can stop it, but the lumberjacks can't talk about it. ”

"I will. Cheese left this sentence and turned and walked in the other direction. His target was the abandoned hut from last night, and the person he wanted to save was Goli. And the reason why I didn't bring that girl back directly last night was because it was tantamount to declaring war with the river monster. More than that, the grey robe had noticed that the relationship between the loom and its female workers was not a pleasant one.

Some powerful, uncomfortable magic connects the living and the dead, enhancing the loom's abilities with fresh life. Cheese didn't know the source of that kind of magic, but it didn't matter, although there were so many schools of magic in this world, almost all of them came from a few sources, and by understanding the composition of those spells in more detail, the gray robe was confident enough to deconstruct or even neutralize them. To do this, he had to gain more knowledge, which was the real reason he had collected the leeches, and he needed Goli's blood to decipher the spell that had been cast on the poor girl. Before that spell drained her of what little life force she had left.

This time, the mage had a clear goal, and there were no muddy wetlands in the rain on his way, and he should have found the house quickly. But sometimes, the more anxious you are, the more you seek speed, and the more you get half the result. Cheese found him lost, and he couldn't find any trace of the woodland, the labyrinth of shrubs. The rain washed away all the traces he left last night, and he now only hated himself for not leaving a beacon. The fire, burning from the depths of his heart, gradually became uneasy under the hood. Now it seems that not only the loom has magical powers, but the hut where the loom is placed is also protected by magic.

This kind of magic is not uncommon, and it can even be said that it is widespread, those paths that can only be entered by special means, the caves that you accidentally enter, or perhaps the rabbit hole in the backyard of an ordinary house that connects to the vast underground city of the earth spirits. Last night's rain just happened to disable the hidden magic, and the good thing was that it allowed Cheese to discover the hut. The downside is that it makes the mage unaware that the hut is protected.

It's not difficult to crack this kind of trick, but it's hard to find it. The mountains and forests are vast, and the entrances to this type of magic can be set in all kinds of inconspicuous places, and even with magical vision, it can be a time-consuming task to find the key landmarks. The most lacking thing in Cheese now is time, and after tonight, whether he can find Golee or not, he must kill the river monster.

"You seem to need help. A soft female voice sounded from the dark woods. As soon as Cheese turned around, the anxiety in his heart disappeared without a trace. It was a beautiful and graceful woman, her presence was like a moon half-obscured by thin clouds, and the whole forest was lit up with a soft and warm light because of her presence. Her hair and eyebrows were green, her naked body seemed to be carved from emerald, and her ornate gown of leaves and vines framed her curves. On her head she wore a wreath of flowers and thorns, and on the wreath were six kinds of flowers, all of which were the most splendid flowers of the season.

The mage recognized her, so that when the beautiful woman's outstretched finger was about to touch his cheek, his eyes suddenly burst into a strong magical light! The woman was frightened by the magic and stepped back, and it turned out that she did not have a human lower body at all, but a half-cut body from an oak tree not far from the cheese! The people called her the Nymph, the fairy of the woods, and the wizards called her the forest spirit, the spirit of the woods. Some say they are monsters like mountain monsters, while others believe that they are goblins in nature. In short, this is a well-known existence, not only because of their beauty, but also because they are actually quite dangerous.

"Don't be so nervous, honorable grey robe. I know you, my sisters in the shade, we all know you. It's because I know what you're doing that I'm here to help. ”
