In the early morning of the 33rd, when the two suns were still 2 hours away from rising, Dugan Lanlong followed the mercenary leader Emmanuel Qiao to a courtyard next to a temple near Longtai Mountain, staring at the courtyard from a distance.

"Are you sure this is the meeting place for the Dark Mage?" Dugan asked the mercenaries beside him,

"This is right next to the temple, and there's a dragon platform in the courtyard!" Just before, the mercenaries and Dugan raided the lair of at least 3 orc thieves and 1 junior mage, and the gold, magic equipment, potions, and the thieves' own bounties were enough to satisfy all the knights and cavalry involved in the operation.

For Emmanuel, the most important thing is that he rescued a mage apprentice who had been missing for several years in the out-of-town area, and in the future, his team will have a pharmacist.

However, the mage's apprentice gave them another piece of information, that is, the Black Mentor Uzloni had a small plantation and potions workshop, located in a courtyard near Longtai Mountain.

So Duggan and the mercenaries came to the outside of the temple in the dark, muttering to the not-so-tall courtyard walls.

"Knight Dugan, I'm sure, that apprentice must be here, some of my men are more sensitive to potions, but I'm not sure how to get in," the mercenary leader nodded.

"I see, you keep an eye on me here" Dugan didn't say much, running to the side and picking up a magic mirror.

It didn't take long for Tierney to come riding the junior demonic beast Fuji Wind,

"This is the courtyard? Are you sure there are Assassins in there? After a few confirmations, the young knight took out a bottle of potion from the spatial ring, took out a handful of seeds from his waist, and after dripping a few drops of the potion, he blew lightly, causing the seeds that grew to grow umbrella-like flocculent to fly into the courtyard with the wind.

"Can you share your vision with plants?" Dugan's eyes were straight, which only a high-level life mage could have.

"It's Fuji Feng who can feel these flying flotsam," Tierney patted his mount and quickly nodded to the two of them,

"There are no guards inside, but there is a problem, you can go in and have a look." The knights glanced at each other, and Tierney rode up in the vine wind, landed in the courtyard, opened the gate, and Dugan led the knights in, waiting for Tierney to reconnoiter with flying flakes before entering the city to search.

Soon they found a basement entrance in the main house, and a junior knight entered the basement first, only to scream as soon as he landed.

"Ah~" Dugan immediately followed after finding that something was wrong, and there was a wrist-thick long worm around the knight's waist, which was tightly tied to the knight's waist, Dugan didn't say a word and directly swung his sword and slashed, and the tenacity collided with the long worm to make a metallic strike sound.

Before he could swing his sword again, he felt that his feet were also engulfed by great force, and when he looked closely, he found that the long worm was not an animal, but some kind of extremely thick vine, which was like a python that kept drilling upwards once it was wrapped around its ankles.

"This is a man-eating vine?" Dugan knew that such strange magical plants originated from the lizardman forests south of the empire, and were usually used to guard lizardman temples and treasure troves, and some high-level magical plants would live in symbiosis with them.

It is rare to see a dragon in the northwest region of the empire, and this one in front of him must be used by the Black Master to take care of the demon plant nursery.

Now that he knows the details of the opponent, then it will be easy to crack, Du Gen spread out his magic field, and quickly found the place where the magic power is strongest on the magic vine, at this moment his right hand and saber have been entangled by the magic vine, so his left hand took out a magic pattern short blade, and threw it out hard, and the short blade formed a complex trajectory in the air, directly penetrating into the magic vine.

In an instant, the demon vine let go of the two of them and drilled into the ground at an extremely fast speed.

"Where to run!" Tierney jumped down and shouted, two potion bottles exploded around the magic vine, and in an instant, the green mist shrouded, countless small plants locked the magic vine entirely, and Tierney flew forward and stabbed the sword directly into the magic vine, Ren especially kept struggling to flip.

"Why don't you burn this?" Looking at the primary demon plant in front of him, Du Gen was a little afraid, although this thing was only at the level of a primary demonic beast, it could exert special power in this cramped and dirty environment.

"Don't, I'll keep it useful, I don't want anything else today, I just want this, you can keep the rest of the magic plants dedicated to adults, and divide the rest." Tierney saw that the vine was almost struggling, and with a smile on his lips, he grabbed it with one hand and sprinkled the potion on the vine with the other.

As soon as the skin of the dark green vine touched the gray-purple potion, a burning foam immediately appeared, and the epidermis instantly turned from green to gray, and the knight spread the potion like a pepper noodle, and the entire man-eating vine dozens of meters long was like a loach about to die of thirst in Tierney's hand, and it could still toss at first, but soon only a faint twitch remained, and Dugan was a little scared when he saw it.

The Black Mentor's underground nursery is finally revealed: in the basement of about 500 square meters, between the ridges of the fields, various dark magic plants are neatly arranged, and some simple life and wind magic patterns are painted on the surrounding walls to promote plant growth.

The huge roof is like a starry sky, in a circular circle with an area of no less than 100 square meters, as small as an egg, as large as a fist-like magic crystal, inlaid like stars.

"These hedrons are so weird, they don't seem to be providing magic power to the circle, but absorbing magic from the circle!" Tierney looked up, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Tierney, can you see anything now?" Dugan asked.

"I can't see it, I'm afraid you need to ask a high-level magician or above to know" The young knight shook his head,

"Can you get in touch with Master Gruya? It's best to invite her over, only if you invite her over, everything in this can be counted as Lord Rand's. Dugan nodded, but he was a little depressed in his heart, tonight's matter was completely done privately with the mercenaries, wanting to earn some extra money for the royal capital's team, but he didn't expect that the magic crystal that was now full of his head would also invite the dragon girl over.

Now all the gains have to be reported to Rand. By the time the dragon girl was picked up, it was already dawn, and everyone looked at her dizzy.

"Dugan, are you cowardly? Came here without Rand's permission. Grua looked at it twice, understood the situation, and said with a smile

"Rand won't allow you to come to a place like this by yourself."

"What do you think about it now?" Tierney glared at Dugan and asked.

"Of course, we put away all the magic plants, and if we don't take them away, will we leave them to those assassins and thieves?" Gruya was very satisfied with the surrounding demon plants, many of which were important raw materials for breakthrough and promotion potions.

"As for the magic circle above, I'll copy it down later, and we'll definitely use it in our magic school in the future."
