Chapter 25: Repairing the Rusty Sword (Seeking Follow-up)
Su Ye led Julia and the villagers in the direction of the camp, and met several bear-people warriors on the way.
After inquiry, it turned out that the leader Okhla was very remorseful for his abduction in the camp, and immediately sent all the bearman warriors stationed in the camp out to search for the traces of Su Ye and the black-robed man.
With the bearman warriors joining, Su Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In fact, he had just seen that Julia's body was extremely weak, and he was just holding on to escorting them with a strong breath, and if such a state was attacked by cultists or demonic beasts, it was actually quite dangerous.
When he returned to the camp, it was already late at night, and Ohera had received the news in advance and waited in front of the gate, and when he saw that he was safe and sound, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
Su Ye briefly told O'Hera what had happened, of course, his identity as a "divine envoy" must be hidden.
The more Ohera listened, the more shocked she became, and asked one of the Monster hunters beside her, "Did you hear of the Elsdaq Cult when you were in Benin City?"
The monster hunter also used to live in Benin City for a long time, but later because he was accidentally injured while hunting monsters, he happened to be rescued by Orach, and then decided to stay in the camp to repay the favor.
Seeing Ohla ask, he was also at a loss: "I have lived in Benin City for four years, and I have never heard of any Elsdaq teaching... We have made it clear that we are only allowed to worship the goddess Yuliria, and that heretics are subject to the punishment of the Holy Court..."
Ohra frowned when she heard this, she faintly sensed that something was wrong with the other party.
If they are infidels, why do they dare to openly arrest villagers within the empire, and no one knows about this matter to this day?
Could it be that someone behind it is hiding for the infidels...
In that case, there are suspicions on both the Empire and Benin City, and it seems that this matter must be passed on to the Red Dragon Knights, who have no connection to the Empire...
O'Hera quickly cleared her mind and said to Julia and the others, "Everyone is welcome to stay in the camp, and if you want to return to the Empire, I am willing to provide you with the passage fee in my own name... If you wish to stay, go to the camp first, and I have sent someone to arrange temporary accommodation for you in advance. ”
The villagers' homes had long since been burned down by the Elstarks and their relatives had been killed, and O'Hera was grateful to see that he was willing to take them in, and he was guided into the camp by several bear warriors.
And the Lamia girl named Julia took a deep look at Su Ye before following the villagers into the camp.
"It's time for me to put it back in Benin City." Seeing that Okhla had taken in the villagers, Su Ye said, "Since the other party is coming for me, my stay here will only cause trouble to the camp."
Ohla opened her mouth when she heard this, but she couldn't keep it.
It wasn't that Su Ye didn't trust Ochra, but that he had come to a conclusion out of careful consideration.
Although the black-robed man was not very capable of fighting, he was extremely proficient in magic. Even if Ohera defends well, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not infiltrate the camp again and use magic to capture Su Ye...
Compared to the camp, Su Ye may be safer in Benin City, which has the protection of the magic array.
Öhra apparently understood this, and immediately ordered several bear-people warriors to escort Su Ye back to Benin City. As an apology, she also ordered someone to take thirty magic crystals from the warehouse as compensation.
Su Ye put away the magic crystal, and soon returned to Benin City under the escort of the bear-man warriors.
The soldiers guarding the city seemed to have some impression of him, and glanced at the bear-man warriors in surprise, took back the nameplate, returned the exit fee, and opened the city gate to let them go.
Returning to the slum with a tired body, the people in the inn had already fallen asleep, Su Ye did not alarm them, and returned to the room lightly, looking at everything in the room as usual, his eyes almost reddened.
Finally back...
It's only been a day and a night, but it seems like a long time has passed.
There are so many things to experience in the forest - hunting monsters, being attacked by beasts, being rescued by the bear-people warriors, and then being taken away by the black-robed people, somehow becoming their holy envoys, and finally escaping from the demon cave with Julia...
If his experience in the past two days is written into a novel, it will be at least tens of thousands of words.
Su Ye put down the backpack full of magic crystals and sighed heavily.
In the final analysis, it is because his current strength is too weak.
The trip to the forest, although the harvest is not small, but several times full of dangers, if it is not for his luck to have a helper to rescue and get out of trouble, he doesn't know how to die.
Su Ye secretly swore in his heart that he must improve his level and strength as soon as possible in the future, and never step into the forest half a step before he has the ability and means to protect himself!
Thinking of this, he turned his gaze to the rusty sword in the corner.
Now he has 30 magic crystals from hunting, 30 from O'Hera, 7 small magic crystals from low-level demonic beasts when he first entered the forest, plus a magic crystal of a B-level demonic beast.
It's enough to break the seal on the Rusty Sword.
After repairing the rusty sword and getting the 500 silver coins promised by Li Yueru, you can use this money to buy the ore needed for iron-making, and when the blacksmith sends the tools, Su Ye can officially start his iron-making upgrade!
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Su Ye picked up the rusty sword with his left hand, and took out a piece of magic crystal from his backpack with his right hand and held it.
【Start infusing mana】
The magic power inside the magic crystal entered his body along his right arm, and then poured into the rusty sword from the palm of his left hand.
[Mana Injection Progress: 0.6%, 0.8%, 1.3%......]
After a while, the magic crystal in Su Ye's right hand disappeared, and then look at the progress - 3%.
Enough is enough!
Su Ye's spirit perked up, and he immediately took out the second magic crystal and began to infuse it with magic power.
......
Time passed quickly unconsciously, and by the time Su Ye took out the 30th magic crystal, the process had finally reached 100%, and a dark blue halo appeared on the surface of the rusty sword.
【Begin to break the seal】
Under Su Ye's control, the dark blue light began to flow slowly, and the rust on the surface of the sword body also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing a silver-white blade.
Su Ye didn't dare to be careless, condensed his spirit to manipulate the magic power to erase the rust spot step by step, and when he erased the last bit of rust on the long sword, he only heard a buzz, and a curtain of light suddenly flashed in his mind-
【Repair Completed】

As the light curtain continued to flicker, Su Ye only felt that countless warm currents were flowing through his body, his bones crackled, and his consciousness fell into darkness in an instant.
