PS: Thank you for the commuter pass of the Instant style

Half a year later, on the southern edge of the Toxler Forest.

In the early morning, on the path bordering a large forest, a group of people was waiting quietly on the side of the road, everyone doing their own thing silently, without making a sound.

These men, both men and women, wore uniform gray robes, but differed in the markings engraved on the robes. Some are a torch-shaped logo, and the other is a blooming rose-shaped logo, and the people of the same logo are subconsciously moving closer together, forming two small groups that are connected but vaguely alienated.

Among the people wearing the torch logo, one person was clearly in a leading position, and the others were consciously surrounding him, highlighting his central position.

The man was a young man, with a silver knight's cross on his back, short gray hair, and a somewhat morbid pale face, and he was sitting on a large rock by the side of the road, holding a small reagent bottle in each hand, and several bottles and jars on the relatively flat stone in front of him, and he was engrossed in blending.

Suddenly, the bush in front of the group of people let out a slight tremble, except for the man who was still focused on mixing the reagents in his hands, everyone else instantly raised their heads, looked at the place where the movement was coming from, and their bodies were on guard accordingly.

But the next moment, everyone relaxed, and there was a relieved expression on their faces.

Gehr stepped out of the bushes and walked straight towards the man who was still preparing the reagent in his hand, as he passed the others along the way. By the way, he nodded to Buonie and Serena in the crowd as a gesture.

"Twenty-seven in all. Sixteen males, five females and six children. I've marked the location and the ambush point, Longbottom, where are you?" Gel walked up to the short-haired gray-haired man, his gaze resting on the reagent bottle in his hand.

"Right away. Longbottom replied, but his gaze stayed on the reagent bottle in his hand, and he didn't leave for a moment.

Hearing this, Gell didn't say anything more, just stood quietly in place, carefully observing Longbottom's debugging behavior.

"Filusa ......"

After continuing to debug for a while. Longbottom recited a short incantation to the reagent bottle in front of him, only to see that the liquid in the reagent bottle, which was originally similar to muddy water, suddenly rolled up, and suddenly a large amount of white smoke came out, but it could not rush out of the bottle, and could only keep rolling inside.

It didn't take long for all the liquid in the reagent bottle to disappear, leaving only a thick white smoke.

"Alright. That's enough to stun fifty, and I'll leave it to you. Longbottom stood up and handed the bottle to Gehr.

Gehr nodded. He took the reagent bottle, and the blue dots of light that had been flickering in his eyes before dissipated.

"Buonie, Serena, Franca, and Ere stayed behind to guard the convoy with Longbottom, and the others followed me. Gehr looked at the reagent bottle in his hand. Then he turned around and said to the crowd, quickly. Except for the five people he named, the other eight were ready. Stood up.

Gehr didn't say anything more, and walked straight back into the bushes. And the apprentices who came forward followed.

In the bushes, Gehr walked in a strange arc, stopping from time to time, turning in one direction and continuing again, which seemed very strange, while the apprentices who followed him had no doubts about Gehr's performance, and only followed silently.

After a while, Gehr stopped at one spot, and instead of speaking, he pointed directly to one of the apprentices behind him, and the apprentice immediately walked out and stopped in this position.

Seeing that the apprentice was in his place, Gehr continued to walk, and so on and so forth, that soon there were two apprentices left behind Gehr.

"This is it, you two are on guard separately, don't go too far. Gehr looked around and confirmed his position.

The two apprentices nodded, and then spread out from the left and right sides of Gehr, enclosing Gehr in the middle.

"Taranza, Efe Union ......"

I saw Gehr standing still, clasping his hands together to make gestures, and whispering a few syllables, but after a while, a whirlwind began to appear at his feet, and it grew bigger and bigger, slowly rising around Gehr, rolling up the blades of grass within a few meters around him, forming a small gray tornado, but the strange thing is that even if the wind blew hard, no sound came out, not even the apprentices on the side could not hear it, as if Gehr was in a different space from them.

However, the two apprentices were no longer surprised by this, and just quietly adhered to their duties, without looking at Gehr.

After more than ten seconds, the whirlwind around Gehr began to stabilize. At this time, Gehr took out the reagent bottle he had just obtained from Longbottom and opened it.

The white smoke suddenly burst out and quickly merged into the whirlwind.

"Bandy ......"

Gehr stretched out his left finger and swiped it forward, and suddenly the whirlwind poured out towards the front, and the abnormalities around Gehr slowly dissipated.

Not long after, there was a slight exclamation and footsteps in the jungle ahead, but they quickly disappeared.

Gehr didn't react to this, just continued to wait quietly.

After about five or six minutes, Gehr nodded and said to the two apprentices beside him: "You can send a signal, most of them have fallen into a coma, and the few who are still awake have also lost most of their combat effectiveness, and there are only two knight ranks inside, you just need to be careful." ”

"Okay. ”

The two apprentices nodded, each took out a paper tube from their arms, and pulled it towards the sky, and in an instant two red fireworks exploded over the woods.

Gehr still didn't move, just waited quietly with his eyes closed. It was only a moment, and some noisy sounds were heard in several directions ahead, mixed with some fighting sounds, but they quickly disappeared, and the last sound was bursts of cheers.

"That's it. ”

Gell opened his eyes. looked at the branches and leaves in front of him, which were still a little shaky, and did not step forward. Instead, they walked straight out of the woods.

"How?"

Seeing Gehr take the lead out of the bushes and stay on the side of the convoy, Longbottom asked casually.

"Hmm. No problem. Gehr nodded at Longbottom, then walked to Buonie and Serena to the side, and the two girls who knew Gehr well hurriedly handed Gell the herbal drink she had just concocted.

Gell took the cup, drank it in one gulp, and then sat down on the railing behind the carriage and began to close his eyes and rest, recovering as soon as possible the mental energy consumed by casting spells.

In places where it's not 100% safe, then keeping yourself in the best possible condition is the number one priority, both for wizards and patrons. It's all an iron rule.

Buonie and Serena concocted a generic herbal drink that was good for restoring depleted mental energy, which was their main job, and with the other two companions from the Cerrolissi Academy, they were covered by the logistics of the team, which was why the team hired them.

As Gehr recovered, the eight apprentices who had followed him into the woods began to return, each with their trophies - the orange elves, a subhuman race about two-thirds the height of a normal person.

These guys with orange skin are generally good-looking. Born with a certain spell-like ability, the more outstanding of which will also have a weak charm force field, is a very popular commodity in the slave market, whether it is a wizard or an ordinary person, there is a certain demand for people.

When all the apprentices come back to converge. The orange elves were placed side by side on the empty stalls of several wagons, exactly twenty-seven, just as Gehr had said beforehand. There is no difference.

"This harvest will be distributed after returning to the mugwort rift, and Griezmann will take 30%. I took 20 percent, and the eight people who went into the forest were divided into 40 percent. The final component was shared by four support staff. After counting the spoils, Longbottom immediately said out loud the distribution of benefits.

There is no point to all of Longbottom's distribution scheme, which is actually a common practice, but it will be fine-tuned due to certain discrepancies.

"Alright, Longbottom, you can deal with it and hurry up, there is not much time left for this cargo transportation. Gell opened his eyes, looked at the people with satisfied smiles on their faces, and then turned to Longbottom, who was on the side.

"Yes, it will be fine right away. ”

Longbottom replied heartily, and then commanded a few logistics apprentices to do some necessary processing of the loot.

About twenty minutes later, the convoy was on the road again.

Sitting in the carriage in the center of the convoy, Gehr quietly looked at the regressing scenery outside, his thoughts had been focused on several difficult problems in the learning process, and he continued to conduct simulation experiments in his consciousness.

Gehr was part of a convoy transporting supplies for the Promesur Torch, and he was hired to get a subsidy of two standard hedrons for the month's journey, and to accumulate a record of contributions within the organization, both of which Ger needed now, the former to re-fill his already empty bag, and the latter to allow him to move towards the level of the organization that he needed for the next level of knowledge.

Studying in the mugwort rift will consume a large amount of spars every year, and if there is no income, it will be difficult for most apprentices to support it, and this kind of task is prepared by each organization for the apprentices in its own organization, after all, the mugwort rift cannot be completely self-sufficient, and many materials, especially spell materials, must be transported from other places. These places are not accessible to ordinary people, and they are dangerous, and the things that can be transported are only some more popular spell materials, and it is really useless to dispatch wizards, so simply release this task and let the apprentices do it, which can not only save a lot of energy for the organization, but also allow the apprentices to obtain a way to maintain their continued research and learning, and there are many tasks as well.

"Looking for me?"

Suddenly, Gehr looked to his left. (To be continued......)
