……

"Which side the hell are you from?"

One of the elders questioned Setrunk in shock and anger.

The latter shrugged:

"I advised you early on to strike first, but it's a pity that people are faster than you."

"As for me, whoever does it first will be on his side."

"Bye bye guys, it looks like the elves are going to be out of luck, hahahaha......"

A lilac glow of magic flashed through the treehouse.

Hood's paralyzing ball instantly enveloped the audience.

Matthew was easily exempted with the protective spells on his body, and the rest of the people were not so lucky.

Setrenk's body immediately turned into a lump of mud, and it was obvious that this was another clay doppelganger.

It's different from last time.

This time, there is no smell of urine.

Once again, Setrenk quickly ran away, seemingly leaving no clue.

But Matthew caught some information from the words just now-

Setrenk's position is indeed very bizarre.

While contacting himself to take action against the Presbyterian Church, he seems to be plotting with the Presbyterian Council to kill him.

He seems to just want to get things done.

Putting these conjectures aside, Matthew can be sure that Setrunk's relationship with the Presbyterians isn't that bad.

They were able to sit in a conference room and chat!

Unless the Wood Elves don't know who Setrunk is - that's a bit of nonsense.

The more likely is.

There was another truth behind the Poplar Village tragedy that year, and Setrenk, as the real murderer, was not as innocent as he said.

He may not have just slaughtered Poplar Village for revenge!

He may have been a victim at one time.

But Matthew now seems to be more likely to have a broken connection with the Presbyterian Church and the black gloves that cleaned the tails of their hands for them!

From this point of view.

Setrenk is wiping the ass for the Presbyterian Church by creating the Poplar Village tragedy!

Although the main target of this operation is Lance, Setrenk can't let it go, he has been ready to move for a long time...... He can't be allowed to go on like this! ”

Matthew secretly made up his mind.

As long as Setrenk shows a flaw, he will let the other party understand what a true father is!

Between thoughts.

The other three projections also melted into foam under Hood's spell.

In a huge meeting room.

Only two elven elders were left twitching slightly in place, and the paralyzing orb would cause a considerable part of their muscles to relax violently.

It didn't take long.

A foul smell filled the air.

Matthew couldn't help but frown:

"No wonder there are always mages who propose to include paralyzing colored balls in the forbidden arts!"

"These two elves' sphincter muscles are relaxing too quickly......

Hood shrugged:

"You can't blame me, elves are naturally sensitive to paralyzing colored balls, and I also habitually use this trick."

In the balls.

The two elven elders were full of humiliation, they called for a while to guard, and after finding that there was no response, they looked at Matthew with a look of horror:

"What are you going to do?"

"This is the Jade Garden, the holy land of the elves, how can you people from the Seven Saints Alliance break into it at will?"

The other looked at Hood and scolded angrily:

"Hood? It's you? ”

"I gave you the last order in Riptide City, and you asked me to ...... before."

Hood interrupted the other man's gibberish with a silent technique:

"It was before, and now it is now."

"Lord Matthew has been attacked by the sorcerers of the Scourge Cult on your territory, and of course we need to find out how many of his comrades are here!"

"Your Excellency's expression seems to be very dissatisfied, huh? Are you also in the same party? ”

The two elven elders' eyes widened instantly.

They seem to want to say something else.

However, the undead who were stealing in the darkness had already swung their butcher knives at them—

Bing and Peggy sneaked up behind them, one left and one right, and then easily took off their heads!

Hood looked at Matthew with some surprise.

Matthew pointed to the traces left by the projection on the ground and said:

"There's no need to interrogate, they're Lance's comrades."

"One of the three projections just now is the sorcerer Lance, the other is the shadow creature of the Shadow Burning Plains Organization, and there is also a dragonman lord, presumably from the sampan plane, related to the Dragon God Society of Baruch."

Hood walked over and saw that one of the three projection imprints on the ground was Lance's iconic cotton imprint.

Because it was temporarily washed away.

They didn't have time to deal with it, and they were hit by Matthew!

"You can keep the evidence."

Matthew said to Hood:

"Then Windward Valley will be handed over to you, Hibbert and Feliwin are still young, you can call them as much as you want, just give advice, and listen to their fate."

In his arrangement.

The manhunt in Windward Valley will be led by Hood, with Hibbert and Feliwin as auxiciaries, and Tyranny's Windchasers will only be used to maintain law and order, and will not play a critical role.

And the only one who can really be of great use among these people is Hood.

This guy is a real old fritter.

Doing things may be more reliable than Matthew himself.

It was quite reassuring to hand over this task to the other party, Matthew.

"It's enough for Feliwen to stay and help me, I suggest that you take Hibbert with you when you go to the Astral Plane to run errands, he is really strong, and he can be promoted to a legendary ...... at any time"

Hood said with some seriousness.

Matthew smiled:

"He's not the only one who can be promoted to legend at any time."

Hood was momentarily stunned.

"Besides, you can't let all the geniuses go out in one action, the target is too dazzling, maybe bringing Hibbert will make the desire of those powerful beings in the outer plane to make a move even stronger!"

Matthew sighed.

Hood thought about it, then nodded yes.

Matthew added:

"You've been in Riptide for so long, I know you're definitely pretty good at dealing with wood elves."

"A few questions shouldn't bother you."

"But if you are in trouble, you can turn to Ai Lan when necessary, she can be trusted."

Hood nodded earnestly:

"I see."

When the two of them were talking.

Hood's Golem Force and Terrani's Wind Chasers have officially broken into Windward Hollow.

In the screams of the elves.

A huge search net is slowly falling.

Several golems surrounded a group of undisguised wood elves and dragged them aside for interrogation:

"Do you know Lance?"

"Don't know? Hehe, Lance stayed in the city for so long a while ago, and was widely welcomed by the elves, as a member of the Jade Court, you must be lying! ”

"Take it back!"

"Do you know Lance?"

"Acquaintance? Very good, fellow sorcerers, bring it back first! ”

The arrogant attitude of the Vajra Golem Force and the low-level mages brought by Hood to do things caused great chaos in Windward Valley, and in an instant, it aroused a strong sense of resistance.

Face the elves who are fighting the golems.

One of the intermediate mages jerked open a scroll of red light:

"Evil Detection!"

The next second.

All the elves scanned by the spell began to glow red!

Just when the elves were shocked and angry.

Suddenly, a dark blue mark lit up on their necks!

And that mark is a strange cotton!

"That's the mark of the sorcerer Lance!"

"I've heard that sorcerers are very good at controlling people's minds, and they must conquer their goals from body and soul to their souls."

"And branding the neck is a ritual of final surrender......"

Hood said with emotion on his face:

"This kind of magic mark is quite hidden, and ordinary evil policy scrolls may not be able to detect it, it seems that the alliance has issued you high-grade goods!"

Matthew was also stunned.

These elves are not on the list given by Terrani at all, but they just happened to be selected by Hood's people to be the object of Liwei.

Matthew also plans to keep an eye out and let them live after that.

I didn't expect to fish a random group of elves in Windward Valley, and they were all slaves of Lance!

If it weren't for the redlight scroll that happened to have a color-enhancing effect.

I really let them run away!

This can be regarded as a crooked hit.

"Let your men guard against it and use a scroll to test the neck of every elf!"

"I'll go first."

Matthew said hello to Hood, and then tricked up a mirror image of himself, setting it on a condescending view of Windward Valley above the treehouse platform.

So.

Able to slightly confuse the enemy's line of sight.

Buy time for his next move.

A moment later.

Matthew's true body used teleportation to reach the Cave of Fangs in the northwestern part of Windward Valley.

The perimeter of the cavern was bare and white, and it was an innumerable number of troll teeth.

At the entrance lay a dozen elven guards.

The legendary mage Mullan stood there alone, waiting for Matthew with all his flaws.

"Aren't you incapable of spells outside of protection?"

Matthew smiled and asked:

"And how did you stun them?"

With a sigh, Mu Lan took out a hammer from behind him:

"It's very troublesome, I can only turn on the protective spell and knock them out one by one, but fortunately they can't hurt me......"

Matthew glanced at the hammer, then at the muscles that Mullan had inadvertently revealed, and then shook his head.

Of course, he knew that Moulin was joking with himself.

These elven guards were obviously stunned by the anti-damage spells, but the opponent could easily carry such a large hammer, and his physical strength must be extraordinary!

Really.

None of the legendary mages who can hold important positions in the alliance are parallel imports!

"Let's go inside."

Matthew said.

The two of them entered the Cavern of Sharp Fangs, and through an underground passage, they came to the area where the Troll Corridor was located.

"I know this place."

Mullan looked at the rock walls around him:

"It feels like there's hot lava flowing through it all the time."

"But as far as I know, the troll corridor is relatively safe, only the amniotic lake is more dangerous."

Matthew nodded:

"Powerful people should be quite afraid of Amniotic Fluid Lake, especially mages."

Mu Lan smiled confidently when he heard this:

"I'm not afraid."

"Even with only first-order spells, no one will be able to break my defenses."

"You know what? When I was in the academy, they called me a turtle, which made me very angry! ”

Matthew muttered:

"It's a bit insulting."

Mu Lan had a hint of pride on his face:

"Yes."

"How can a turtle be beaten by me?"

"In the field of protection, I am the strongest mage in Aindor!"

"Even my teachers are slightly inferior."

Matthew asked curiously:

"Who is Your Excellency's teacher?"

Mu Lan smiled slightly:

"Turtle Shell Mage, Garcia."

Matthew thought for a moment:

"Garcia's armor?"

Mu Lan nodded:

"The spells in the Garcia series are excellent, everyone should learn a little."

Matthew immediately followed with a few compliments.

He knew that Mullan wasn't boasting, and that Ronan had highly recommended several Garcia series spells to him a long time ago.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to talk to you about this in depth."

He said sincerely.

Mu Lan also seemed more enthusiastic, and the two chatted while walking, and it didn't take long for them to come to the shore of Amniotic Water Lake.

Here it is.

Matthew summoned a group of younger brothers to defend themselves.

After all, after boarding the ship, the strength of all units will be compressed to the first order, and then the numerical advantage of the outnumbers is particularly crucial.

Comes with the continuous effect of Necromancy.

One figure after another appeared beside Matthew-

Peggy;

A Bing;

Death Knight Forty-Seven;

God of War Zombie Vasnov;

And four coolie zombies carrying a wooden coffin!

After Peggy landed, she looked left and right for a while, and then asked Matthew:

"Where's Fireball?"

Matthew pointed to the coffin:

"Lie down."

"It's been a hard journey, and he needs a nap."

Peggy was immediately unhappy:

"Why is he privileged?!"

Matthew glanced at her:

"If your fireball can be rubbed as big as his, I can even carry you myself!"

Peggy yelled:

"Does it have to be a fireball?"

"Isn't it okay with other balls?"

Matthew rolled his eyes:

"Peggy, this is a very serious occasion, don't be sexual!"

Mu Lan smiled deliciously:

"I love your skeletons, it's been a long time since I've met an undead creature with such a distinct personality, oh, it's still a minotaur!"

Peggy leaned into Matthew's ear and whispered:

"You're so good to him...... Do you want to fit in with him? ”

Matthew waved his hand helplessly.

The group walked towards the pier by the lake.

There are several boats parked on the dock, some large and some small, but all of them are quiet on board.

The lake in the distance stretches as far as the eye can see, and only the sparkling fireflies illuminate the outline of the lake.

For the first time, Matthew felt as if he had come to the end of the world.

"Get on this ship."

After two turns, Matthew chose a slightly larger ship to board, and instead of going to the cabin, they chose to stand on the deck.

The ship was large, but there were not many figures, and it looked like it was in disrepair.

Occasionally, a few shadows floated past them, and there was no conversation or touch between the two sides, and even a shadow passed through Ah Bing's body.

Like a ghost.

"Remember, don't talk to the sailors or captains of the ship or look at them after you've sailed!"

Matthew admonished his immortals:

"These shadows are projections of the astral spirits, and so are the ships we are on."

"They are not in the same world as us, they may have died many years ago, but for some unexplained reason, these projections are still silently carrying out the task of ferrying......"

Mu Lan glanced at the structure in the cabin and said in a low voice:

"No wonder you don't have to buy a ticket."

Matthew nodded slightly:

"Theoretically, they can't even perceive our presence, and as long as we don't interact with them, there shouldn't be too much danger."

Mullan said thoughtfully:

"I perceive a strange magnetic field from them, which, if interacted with, could pull our souls away and head to an unknown world......"

"The undead are indeed more dangerous, and the slightest carelessness of the soul fire may be drained!"

"What a dangerous and fascinating phenomenon!"

Hearing this, the undead instantly fell silent.

Matthew thought about it and threw them a large invisibility orb to hide the undead.

Then the two exchanged words in a low voice.

After a while, the ship sailed.

On the deck, the projections of the Astral Geists became more and more active, and they traveled back and forth, appearing extremely busy.

There was a thick fog on the surface of the lake, and the visibility was pitiful.

As the ship moved forward, the creaking of the masts could be heard with every shake, and there was a tooth-wrenching sound from time to time between the cracks in the deck.

The ship always has the feeling that it could disintegrate at any moment.

The wrecked boat staggered for more than ten minutes, and then slowly stopped.

Matthew and Mullan craned their necks and were surprised to spot a small island on the lake, and the broken ship was docked on the island's pier.

It didn't take long.

There were people boarding the boat on the docks, and there were four people in total—

The first was a dark-skinned, vigilant Purgatory Terran;

The second is a bald demon with a scar on his face and fierce eyes;

The third was a tall, snow-white leprechaun with dark purple eyeshadow;

The fourth is a succubus with huge chest muscles-

Pectorals in the literal sense of the word, because all four of them are male.

After the four of them got on board, they did not enter the cabin, but found a corner on the deck and sat down.

A quarter of an hour later.

The broken ship continued to sway towards the unknown.

Nothing to say all the way.

Amniotic Lake was much larger than Matthew had expected.

Or maybe it's not a lake at all, it's an ocean connecting the astral and physical realms!

Sitting on the boat, Matthew could clearly perceive the subtle changes in the elements around him.

He was well aware that he was moving farther and farther away from the main physical realm.

Because the feeling of being blessed is constantly moving away from him!

Instead, there is an extremely unsettling sense of crisis!

It took about an hour and a half to board the boat.

The silence on the deck was suddenly shattered.

The succubus with huge chest muscles walked over and asked in an unkind tone:

"You two are mages?"

"Is it from the main material realm?"

Without waiting for Mu Lan to speak, Matthew said softly:

"Don't come here, I'm sensitive."

The succubus immediately laughed, and he leaned over maliciously:

"Let me see how sensitive you ......"

He wasn't done yet.

A group of undead suddenly appeared behind Matthew!

They set up the succubus with all their hands and threw it overboard without mercy!

The screams of succubi were heard on the surface of the lake.

However, a few seconds later.

The sound was gone.

"Hey, you're going too far, mage, he's just trying to have some fun, and you're not going to die if you get him down......"

The goblin with heavy eye makeup said.

Matthew looked at each other calmly:

"I said I'm sensitive, do you still want to try it?"

The goblin snorted, apparently disapproving, but secretly took several steps back, not even daring to look at Matthew again.

Matthew was also curious about the origins and relationships of these people.

He couldn't even comprehend the succubus's motives.

Fortunately, he has seen more strange things and people, and he is used to it-

You have to admit that there are always fools in this world.

And there are quite a few of them.

After this hiccup, the deck was quiet again.

It's just that the eyes of the three people who cast them at Matthew's group were full of vigilance.

Another half hour passed.

The ship came to a leisurely halt again.

This time, however, no one was on board.

Matthew looked out and saw that the dock where the wrecked ship was docked was huge, but there was only one ship in the harbor.

There are also no people on the pier, giving it a deserted feeling.

At this moment, an old troll with a white beard walked out of the cabin.

Matthew noticed that although they were all projections of the Astral Spirit, the resolution and image quality of this one were much higher!

He exclaimed:

"Fairy Island has arrived, boys!"

"What are you doing? Let's go around the island and come back, or I won't be able to drive this boat!" ”

"Go play, have fun, the great gods will bless you!"

Everyone looked at each other, and not one of them got up to leave.

The old troll walked back.

Three minutes later, he stepped out of the cabin and repeated the lines.

After five or six cycles.

The passengers on deck realized the seriousness of the problem.

"If we don't go around the island, won't he really know how to sail?"

The fairy said sharply, as if he were asking someone else, and as if he was talking to himself.

"Of course, don't worry I'll leave you behind, the Kraken never abandons a passenger."

The old troll appeared beside him like a ghost, causing him to scream in fright for a few moments.

Matthew and Moulin discussed it.

The two came to the dock one after another, and the rest of the people followed.

As a result, the old troll man was still shouting on deck:

"What are you doing? You goddamn skeletons and zombies! ”

"Are you planning to delay the other passengers?"

"Hurry down, just walk around and come back, don't force me to whip you!"

Matthew had no choice but to take the undead with him.

The boat trip to Amniowater Lake was a bit off plan.

This disturbed him.

But Mullan was quite calm:

"The projection of these ships also operates under specific rules, maybe we just triggered some hidden rules and derived some extra itineraries, as long as we can meet their needs, we should still be able to reach the destination smoothly."

Matthew reminded:

"Ai Lan told me that the trip to Amniotic Water Lake is very dangerous, and even experienced brokers must be cautious."

Mu Lan nodded:

"Rest assured, the return ritual prepared earlier is still available, and we can return to the material realm at any time."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

While the two were talking, the other three passengers had already made their way up the hill along the path around the island.

There is a complex of buildings at the top of the hill that looks like a small town from a distance.

Matthew and the others immediately followed.

It didn't take long.

They came to the edge of town.

The town is not large, most of the housing areas are vacant, and only the central street is bustling with people.

Matthew and Mullin calmly walked down the street.

Suddenly.

A sweet female voice shouted at them:

"Come in and have fun, gentlemen."

"Ten gold coins at a time is guaranteed to make you relieve fatigue and go to heaven happily!"

Matthew stared intently.

The source of the sound was a small alley on the side of the street.

Say it's a small alley.

It's actually quite wide.

The alley can accommodate five or six people walking side by side.

Inside, there is a delicate cage every ten meters or so, and the door of the cage seems to be unlocked, and it can be opened by reaching out from the outside.

And what is being held in the cage is one after another beasts who look or are bewitching or sweet, and their bodies are so hot that they explode!

These bestials have the stature and appearance of humanoids, with only a few organs with animal features—

For example, the ears of a rabbit, for example, the tail of a fox.

All of them are women.

And each of them can be regarded as a heavenly fragrance!

Ma Xiu walked in the alley, almost dazzled.

Streams of light or thick aromas poured into his mouth and nose, stimulating his nerves.

He took a look, and there was a place for coins outside the cage, and it seemed that as long as the gold coins were placed in it, he could have fun with the beasts in the cage.

A strong reaction instinctively arose in his body.

For a moment.

He couldn't help but want to dig out the gold coins!

But at this time.

Matthew's heart suddenly flashed with a thrill:

"What about Peggy?"

"Where's Moulin?"

He jerked his head up and saw that Mullan was nowhere to be seen, and Peggy and the others seemed to be waiting for him at the end of the alley!

In a flash.

Matthew sensed great danger.

He immediately lowered his head and held his breath, directly ignoring the innocent or longing gaze thrown by the warbler Yanyan in the cage next to him.

He walked to the end of the alley in one go.

That sense of crisis slowly disappeared.

"How did you just feel?"

Matthew asked Peggy seriously.

Peggy spread her hands:

"I don't feel anything, it seems like I walked out in a few steps, why are you so abrasive, Matthew?"

Are you treated differently because you are immortal?

Matthew thought to himself.

It was at this time.

Mu Lan also walked out of the alley, his face looked full of reluctance, but he said hurriedly:

"Hurry up, Matthew, this place is not good for long!"

The two of them left the hilltop town and walked half a circle along the rest of the road before returning to the docks again.

The old troll man was watching them from the deck.

When they boarded the ship this time, the old man said cheerfully:

"How?"

"It's cool, isn't it!?"

"I'll just say I won't lie to you, everyone who landed on Fairy Island told me that the trip was worth it, this is a man's paradise of bliss!"

Matthew and Mullin looked at each other.

The two returned to their original positions and sat down.

After a while.

The bald demon with a scarred face was breathing heavily.

He saw that Matthew and his party were intact, and a deep look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Another ten minutes passed.

Two strangers boarded the ship.

Matthew narrowed his eyes, these two people were also men, dressed in normal men's clothes, but they behaved very sissy.

They were whispering as they uploaded:

"I finally escaped."

"yes, yes......"

The old troll man replied to them with the same line as before, and the two of them simply ignored it.

"Alright, all passengers are in place, let's move on!"

The old man shouted.

The broken ship slowly left the eerie island.

Another hour and a half later.

The wrecked ship stopped at a certain pier, and the two strangers hurriedly disembarked.

All that was left on deck was Matthew and the bald demon.

When the ship continues to move.

The bald demon suddenly spoke:

"You two have good wills, and you can actually get out of Fairy Island with your whole body."

Mullan groaned and asked:

"Where did that purgatory human and that goblin go?"

A sneering smile appeared on the corner of the demon's mouth:

"Them?"

"In the cage, of course!"

"You don't know, do you? Once someone is tempted by the beast man in the cage, pays ten gold coins, and opens the door of the cage to have fun with him, things get weird -

In the process, those sexy and glamorous beasts will do everything they can to get you out, and I promise, it's definitely the best time of your life-

It can be based on some bizarre rules.

Once you're done launching.

You'll be horrified to find that the skin of the beast that was still serving you just now will fall off and stick to you!

From now on.

Your identities will be reversed.

Bestials will be liberated.

They were given a chance to get out of their cages.

And you.

became the beastly woman in the cage who was so beautiful that it was incomprehensible!

If you want to be liberated, you'll have to recruit guests in the cage like she did and complete the rituals she did to you......"

"Hehe, now, you know what the relationship between those two people and the two people after that is, right?"

The corners of the bald demon's mouth were raised.

Moulin looked shuddered.

Matthew suddenly asked:

"How do you know so well?"

The bald demon fell silent for a moment.

But after a while, he calmly said:

"Of course I've experienced it once."

"I've been in that damn cage for half a year......"

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with experiencing this kind of thing, Fairy Island is a legacy of the troll god, and it is said that his original intention was to let men experience the happiness of women."

"If you can completely let go of your defense, that cage won't trap you for long, after all, the flow of people on Fairy Island is very dense, and that small alley itself has a strong aphrodisiac effect, someone will always rescue you out."

"I've also heard that some people linger when they enter the cage, and they don't want to leave!"

Matthew and Mullan looked at each other.

This fairy island is too evil, isn't it?!

Even for a mage, it's a little too far ahead of its time!

"By the way, you're also going to Tyrannosaurus Town, right?"

The bald demon asked casually.
