A few days later, a slightly disorganized-looking procession made its way to the Darkfire Forest. (The full-text novel is updated the fastest) ◎ Smart children remember to update super fast ◎

At the head of the pack was Isardo and a hundred or so members, with an even split of professions, ranging from warriors to archers, and even two mages.

In the middle of the team were Leah and Lori and the twenty lucky, surrounded by Dietrich's mercenary group, half less than the magician's hand, but surprisingly, these fifty or so people turned out to be all berserkers.

Walking in the back were Earl and his men, about a hundred and fifty people, although the number was more than the first two mercenary groups, but it could be seen that this team was inferior to the first two teams in terms of personal strength and even equipment. They are not only responsible for the queen of the palace, but also take care of a large number of supplies.

Uniformly equipped soldiers, knights on horseback, haphazard mercenaries, and sporadic mages, the ever-peculiar contingent is heading to their destination, the Darkfire Forest, an equally peculiar place.

The first time you see the Dark Fire Forest, you will probably think that this is just an ordinary forest, just like Leah, but as the mercenary group gradually deepens, the lush trees begin to gradually become sparse, and the closer you get to the Shadow Volcano, the more the breeze with sulfide toxins wafts from there, the more corroded the land, and in the end, all you can see around you is the carbonized trees except for the roasted and cracked soil. The scorching rocks thrown by the Shadow Volcano into the forest from time to time have caused fires on several occasions. In the end, the land was burned to the ground.

But even so. There are still a lot of creatures living here.

From the Shadow Worms that filter feed on the dark elements in the soil, to the crunchy little rodent beasts that hunt for them, to the large carnivores that feed on them, and finally, the Dark Space Wurm at its apex and the out-of-spec Bei Ye...... Ahh In short, combined with a few rivers that are slightly warmer due to geothermal heat, there is a perfect food chain system here.

The further you go in, the closer you get to the volcano, so it's natural. As the temperature kept rising, the girls gradually entered a state of fragrant sweat. But the biggest reaction was probably Melty, and Leah remembered that there was a saying among anglers that you should not take the fish directly with your hands. Because the temperature of human hands can burn the fish.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I can tell that Melti, whose face is red, her eyes are spinning, and even the heat coming out of her little head is almost fainting under the heat and obscenity of Mr. Volcano. ()

"Ahhh!!!!h

"Drink some of this, maybe it will make you feel better. ”

Leah then took out a bottle the size of a pinky fingernail from her pocket, and when she tapped it with her wand, it instantly returned to its original size, containing a liquid soaked in blue ore. Holding the bottle in both hands, Leah poured the liquid into the jug that Melty was carrying.

"Woohoo...... It's coming. It was as if Melti was back in the sea. ”

Sticking out her little tongue and licking the spring water mixed with an unknown liquid in the kettle, in an instant, the cold feeling soaked her whole body, and Melti turned into a happy face. If you're in mermaid form, you'll be able to see the tail of the fish wagging around.

"That's amazing, what is this?"

Leona also got some of the drink, and although she had a better constitution than Merti and Leah, it was quite a matter of effort to lead the horse into the forest.

"A cold drink made by mixing dried bitter worm powder into spring water and adding ice crystal ore is a kind of magic potion. Body temperature can be guaranteed for an hour or two. ”

As long as you mix this medicine into the kettle that you carry with you, you can always ensure that your body temperature does not get too high. Leah also drank some, and in an instant, the feeling of heat disappeared a lot.

She then distributed the cold drinks to the mercenaries. By the way, there is an antidote, to this region. The toxic components in the air have become so strong that they can no longer be ignored.

Of course, everyone is very grateful to Little Lori. Along the way, these people were first afraid because of the noble status of Leah and others.

Subsequently, I paid tribute to the strength shown by Xiao Lori and her party. As once said, this is a circle where the strong are respected, so the mercenaries were deeply impressed by the martial arts displayed by Leona and Carlisle, Melti's skillful water-based healing magic, and Lori's magic cannon that bombarded the scum with a fourth-level shadow hedgehog full of thorns and defenses like an iron plate.

And now, after receiving the potions that Leah distributed for free, these people added a feeling of gratitude in addition to fear and respect, knowing that these potions should have been prepared at their own expense.

"It's getting dark, so I'm camping here today. ”

It didn't take long for Isadore to decide to rest, there are many magical beasts that only haunt at night, and it is difficult for human eyes to adapt to fighting in the dark, so it is better not to move forward at this time.

So everyone set up tents and tents, lit fires, and chatted.

During this time, Lori sat down with Isardo and the two mages in the mercenary group and talked about all kinds of mysteries about magic, although Leah's identity made them nervous, but the mage is a creature, once they discuss magic, they will soon leave all the rest of the distractions behind.

Isadore, the magic swordsman, can only be regarded as a half-ass, but the other two are serious third-level mages, but even so, there is a considerable gap between them and Leah.

For these mercenaries, they are at best users of magic, finding the right magic, then memorizing spells and finally using them on the battlefield.

And Xiao Lori is a researcher of magic, and even a creator, the difference between this is the same as that of a chivalrous man who practices existing martial arts and a predecessor who sets out to create a new martial art and establish a sect.

So whenever Leah talked about her understanding of magic, the two mages were fascinated, and they looked like they wanted to learn from little Lori.

It wasn't until dinner time that the group ended the discussion.

Then Leah saw Carlisle and Leona with strange expressions. The reason for the strange expression is because today's dinner is roasted spiders. Well, that's right, it's a spider, and it's the kind of spider that is a big person, a third-level earth-based insect-like demonic beast, compared to the shadow hedgehog whose flesh is so bad that it can't be eaten, this thing is considered a good meat, not to mention that the protein is also six times that of beef.

Unfortunately, Carlisle and Leona were completely unacceptable. The former is because, the aristocracy, more or less felt that foraging for a large spider was an act that lacked elegance and did not conform to their status. And the latter, as a girl, even if these eight-legged animals can be cut off without ambiguity, but it is a little ......

As a result, Leah herself looked at the black spider legs with many thorns on them, and she also didn't know how to put her mouth down. But Merti didn't feel anything, or for her, any food on land was almost as fresh to try.

"I'm sorry, but we can't find anything else to eat. ”

The cook in the mercenary group ran over and said cautiously, for fear that several noble ladies would be angry with him because of these dinners.

However, Leah is not the kind of arrogant daughter, in order to reduce the trouble of crossing the forest, they did not bring food, and they always cooked with local ingredients along the way. However, now, the area is so barren that you can't even find wild vegetables, and it's a blessing that it's not the Shadow Worm that comes up. So she understood the plight of the cook in front of her, so she didn't complain about anything.

"Forget it, take these down, we'll prepare the food ourselves. ”

With a wave of her hand, Leah dismissed the burr-covered spider leg and took out her wand and waved it.

With the glow of the arcane element, a delicate table appeared out of thin air in the clearing, with blueberry and lettuce salad, potato and chicken stew, roasted rabbit with nuts and sesame seeds, fragrant whole wheat bread, and even juice and wine.

In addition to these appetizing delicacies, there are also shiny cutlery and four chairs.

After doing this in one go, Leah looked a little tired, but this way, the four of them could enjoy such a meal comparable to that of a castle even in the wild.

The glow of magic and the smell of food were obviously hard to ignore by the rest of the mercenaries, but for them, the most attractive thing on this gorgeous table was the two bottles of wine.

"Oh oh oh oh !!!!

No, as soon as Little Lori and the others took their seats, Dietrich's exclamation sounded not far away.

"Hey!! Izado, you can also change a little bar for us, usually I want you to change food, it's always just spring water and black bread, don't be so stingy!!"

The werewolf sister didn't want to get Lori's wine, so she found Isado.

"Don't be stupid, Dietrich. Do you think it's easy to conjure up that table of food and wine like Lord Leah? I promise you, even if you bring in a hundred mages, not one of them will. ”

Isado rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously. Dietrich didn't know about magic, but he wasn't, what did it mean to make a table out of foodmaking? It meant that the mage's understanding of magic had reached the point where he could change one or two of these steps at will, far beyond the reach of the mages who were still memorizing spells.

Won't you? Na, will you two conjure up wine, my sister will put off the date of the rest of the young men tonight to accompany you. ”

Still unrelenting, Dietrich asked the other two mages. Wine is almost second only to money and women for mercenaries, but in such a mission, it is naturally impossible to carry a large wine barrel forward, and it is good to be able to bring a small pot. So up to now, basically none of the mercenaries have any leftover wine in their hands.

But it won't be no, even if the beauty is current, the two mages can only shake their heads with regret.
