After stepping out of Brian Buckler's house, Huey first walked around the town of Robinia a few times to familiarize himself with the environment.

The town's bandits had become less fierce in their eyes when they saw Huy Glare.

Whoever can easily kill Inigo and come out of Buckler's room only means that he has absolute strength and has been recognized by the boss.

No one will go to death without taking their own strength.

Although they still maintain a mocking attitude towards the gentlemanly behavior of Lehrer and others, they will no longer take the initiative to provoke, but just draw a line with the other party with cold disregard.

As Huey expected, they felt that they were not part of the town.

Walking into a remote corner and seeing that there was no one around, Huey pulled out a strange little object from the ring. It looked like an eye, attached to a small metal pillar, looking around.

Sticking the eye into the soft dirt nearby, Xiui chanted a spell and the eye vanished.

took out the crystal ball casually, and saw that all the images in this area had been reflected in the crystal ball.

This is the most common peeping eye used by alchemists.

Xiu Yi didn't know if Buckler could be trusted, and many of the bandits in Robinia Town might be righteous people, but there was also no shortage of villains who were untrustworthy, and it was stupid to willingly put their lives on others, and Xiu Yi would not make such a mistake.

The biggest advantage of using the Peep Eye is that it can be used for round-the-clock fixed-point peeping, and it does not need to consume mana like a wind warbler, and it does not need to be paid attention to all the time.

After walking to several hidden places and inserting more than ten peep eyes, the scene around Robinia Town, especially at the entrance of the town, has come into view.

After doing all this, Xiu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He decided to go to a nearby tavern for a drink first.

Old Bill's Fighter's Tavern was already full, and some drinkers who couldn't find a place gathered around the bar and cursed. A cacophony of voices rattled through the tavern until Huey's entry.

The tavern calmed down suddenly.

It's like a harbor after a storm, silent as death.

"Bring me a glass of ale. "Huey put a Kim Witt on the stage.

The waiter glanced at Xiu Yi with a frightened look, and hurriedly placed a glass of ale in front of Xiu Yi.

"Thank you. Huey said.

The tin glass was filled with white foam, and the thick aroma overflowed from it, and Xiu Yi tasted it lightly, and the taste was much more bitter than what he had drunk in Fragrant Leaf City.

"drink*. A discordant voice came from the tavern.

Following the sound backwards, Hue saw a tall woman sitting at a wine table.

The woman had short golden and wheat-colored skin, her lips were painted a deep purple, extremely sexy and *ye, and she was dressed in a leather suit, tightly wrapping her plump body, revealing the beautiful curves of her buttocks.

An emerald green longbow was pinned to her waist, an arrow box was behind her back, and several throwing knives were pinned to her lower abdomen.

It is noteworthy that the woman's ears are slightly pointed and elongated, and there is a deep green tinge in the eyes.

Half-blood elves, human-elf hybrids? That was Huey's first impression.

He immediately noticed that women sat alone at the wine table, and in this crowded and complicated environment, those who could dominate a table alone usually always had some status and relative strength.

When the woman spoke, all the robbers had a look in their eyes that they were watching the show.

To be honest, after achieving his goal, Xiu Yi no longer wanted to do anything. In his view, force is merely a supplementary means to an end, not a leisure program for people to spend their time at dinner. He has no interest in making trouble for nothing, and he fights with people at every turn, so he doesn't give any answer to the woman's evaluation.

But it seems that trouble always likes to find him.

The woman left her place and walked towards him, standing not far from him.

"Buckler shouldn't have made a deal with you. She said, "You're a nuisance, and you're going to cause trouble to all the people in Black Locust Town." ”

"Robinia has never been short of troubles. ”

"But this time it's different, you're not just going to be in trouble, maybe it's disaster. ”

The woman's eyes were sharp, and she stared at Xiuyi: "Maybe I should take you down and hand you over to the local * government office in exchange for a better chance of cooperation." ”

As she spoke, she slowly raised the longbow with her left hand as she reached for the arrow box behind her back with her right hand.

This action made Xiu Yi vigilant, and he said coldly: "This is a very dangerous thought*." I advise you that it is better not to make any further moves, otherwise I do not guarantee any terrible consequences here. ”

All the bandits in the tavern became nervous and stood up and retreated.

The woman quickly drew a long arrow, ready to place it on the bowstring.

Xiuy's body was already arched like a leopard, and he had secretly decided that as soon as this woman put the arrow on it, he would immediately kill the other party.

"Lilith, stop, don't make a move!"

Buckler's roar came from the door of the tavern.

Eagle Ashlyn also appeared at the door of the tavern at the same time: "Evil Lord of the Undead, use your powerful will control of my designated creature, the Undead Bondage!"

A cloud of white energy rays pointed at the bow-wielding woman, surrounding her.

The woman was furious: "Iger, you actually shot at me!"

She was about to forcibly break free of the undead master's undead restraints, when she saw Xiu Yi in front of her suddenly move rapidly, and a pale golden demon* long sword was already on her neck.

"Don't move, or cut off your head. The boy's voice was cold and resolute.

"Don't!" Buckler and Ashlyn shouted at the same time.

Buckler strode over, "I'm sorry, Huygliel, but I can assure you that Lilith doesn't know what's going on. She just came back and Inigo was the one he was sheltering and you killed him, so she was angry. ”

The woman named Lilith yelled, "Shut up, Buckler, I'm not for that piece of shit in Inigo. You don't know who Hue Glore is. Do you think he's an ordinary criminal?"

Buckler looked back at his companion: "Lilith, none of the people who can stand by you and me are ordinary criminals. But we're all alive and well. He's a nationally wanted man, and so are we. ”

"That's different. This Huey Gler is different from all of us. You may not believe it, but I just came back from outside. I can tell you very clearly that in the eyes of the Empire, this Huey Glare is much more important than any of us. This is what our people in the city told me personally, that he has stabbed a leak bigger than the sky, and his arrival is likely to attract a large number of samurai from the Reims Empire. ”

Buckler removed Huey's sword from Lilith's neck, then patted Lilith on the shoulder, released his fighting spirit, released Ashlin's undead restraints, and held her down, "Yes, killing Abrite is indeed a big leak, but so what? The Bilas Mountains are big enough, and we are strong enough, so we are not afraid of them. Siegler is an alchemist, and he brings us the top-notch potions we have always dreamed of. That could save our lives in battle. ”

"You should snatch everything from him and throw him out of Robinia Town. Lilith shouted angrily.

"I tried, but unfortunately I couldn't. It wasn't luck that he was able to kill Ablit, Lilith, be sober, if Eagle doesn't make a move on you, maybe you're already dead. ”

"You fought him?" Lilith was shocked.

Buckler gently put his arm around Lilith and whispered into her ear, "You have to be glad, you really have." My hunch tells me that this teenager is stronger than he has already shown. ”

"But the information I've received tells me that this boy is far more important in the eyes of the Reims Empire than all the people here combined. Perhaps it won't be long before we have an unprecedented encirclement. He's a madman, and only a madman would do something like that at the Lanya Theater. Lilith replied coldly.

She glared at Hue and strode out of the tavern.

Looking at the shadow of her departure, Huey thought for a moment and said, "What if she's right? Buckler, what would you do?"

Buckler smiled: "For the sake of profit, we dare to oppose the law of the Empire; For the sake of freedom, we do not hesitate to become criminals in exile. Whatever you will bring us, the threat of ** cannot be a reason for us to give up trading with you. Don't forget that we are criminals, and we are born to play with the knife. When we make a choice for the sake of profit, we are already pushing ourselves into a corner. It is quite possible that we will bring ourselves to the destruction of a caravan that should not be robbed, but will we abandon every one of our actions because of this possibility? No, no! And you, Hue Igler, are just one of those options. Whatever you bring to the table, it will make no difference to us just like a normal robbery. ”

"Well said. Huy Glerle nodded. He has at least one obvious virtue: he knows what he's doing, and he's ready to give anything to it.

This is the same clear-headed man.

"You'd better get out of here now, we'll take care of your people. Buckler said.

- The Valley of Thorns is located south of the town of Acacia, inside the Aps, to the northwest of it, in the Silent Forest, the paradise of Warcraft.

The Forest of Silence is one of the few remaining primeval jungles in the Wind Roaring 6, which is inhabited by about 3,000 species of creatures, including more than 1,000 kinds of magical beasts. However, with the endless exploitation of resources by humans, this peaceful jungle has also been greatly damaged.

Today, the area of the Silent Forest has plummeted by a quarter, and there are more than 1,000 species of magical beasts, of which there are about 700 species left, and 300 species have been completely extinct. A large amount of demonic vegetation has been cut down, excavated, and severely damaged, but the habitat of humans has increased dramatically.

There are about thirty human settlements in this area, and in addition to a few bandit areas like Robinia Town, there are also some tribal areas where a large number of humanoids live.

The endless expansion of humanity threatens not only the jungle creatures, but also other races. And no matter what race it is, for human beings, it is the fate of expulsion and enslavement.

Therefore, any life that lives here has a natural hostility towards human beings.

That's what Buckler promised him.

The Alps are now alive with large expanses of holly trees that light up the shade with their verdant in the snow-white season, and although the trees are obviously a little sparse from tree to tree, the dense canopy of trees is connected in patches.

On the bare slopes of the sunny rocks, low bushes can be seen everywhere, and beside the abrupt cliffs you can always see clusters of low-hanging trees, dotted with small flowers like stars, which add a touch of charm to the mountains.

Walking out of the rugged mountain trails, Xiui saw cool mountain springs flowing through the mountains, carrying melted snow and forming a clear pool of water on the mountainside not far away.

The weather has warmed up, spring is coming, and some of the flowers are already beginning to bloom early in their beauty.

Red dragon grass, green pure heart lotus, pink daughter heart, blue ocean flowers, and some fish swimming under the water turn this place into a peaceful and beautiful world.

Unfortunately, none of these are valuable plants.

Walking up the mountain spring, Xiu Yi came to a cliff, and a small waterfall flowed down the cliff, fell on the rock, and smashed countless crystal droplets.

"This is the place you need to be. Ashlin's voice rang out behind him.

"Yes. Huey agreed: "It's very private and quiet, and it really suits my needs." ”

The area is surrounded by large winterly forests outside, and the large needle-like foliage forms a natural defensive ring in the area, and few people are found here unless someone is specifically looking for it.

Not far from the cliff was a flat open field, just right for Huey to use as his laboratory.

Xiui walked over and looked around, frowning slightly.

Ashlyn sensitively captured the expression: "Is there a problem?"

"No, no. Xiui replied quickly.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Master Ashlin." ”

"Call me Iger, and I'm not a master, a fourth-level cultivator of the Necromantic * Technique. ”

"Okay, Iger, I have a question for you. ”

"You say. ”

"How much do you know about alchemy?"

Eagle Ashlin frowned slightly, and he smiled wryly: "Actually, I know very little. The reason why I studied alchemy was partly because I was a necromancy* and some of the techniques required alchemy, and partly because I was commissioned by Buckler. Robinia needs an alchemist so we can be self-sufficient. It's a pity that we can't find an alchemist who would be interested in working against the Empire until you show up. We're handing it over to you because Buckler wants me to learn something useful from you. You can make top-notch potions, and maybe you can point me to a lot of things I haven't figured out yet. ”

Xiu Yi thought for a moment, then nodded, "I can give you some knowledge about alchemy, but you also have to promise me that you will not pass on this knowledge." ”

"Swear in the name of the Lord of the Dead. Ashlyn replied seriously.

"Then I have one more question for you. ”

"Speak. ”

"Do you come here often?"

Ashlyn paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, there's no need for that. In fact, we've only been here twice, including the one we're here now. ”

With Ashlyn leaving, Hue Igler first released the Wind Warbler to patrol the surroundings, and then used his spirit to make sure that there were no demon* peeps around, and then hurried to the flat land.

The flat land is so flat that it looks like it has been manipulated.

But Huey learns from Ashlyn that this was inadvertently revealed by the girl named Lilith three years ago. At that time, this open space has always existed.

Both Buckler and Ashlyn have overlooked the question of why there is such an open space in the Holly Forest.

The exhibition of the jungle will never let go of any soil suitable for its own growth. Seeds fly with the wind, and grow wherever they fall.

But in this wooded area surrounded by holly trees, it is a little strange that there is such a large empty area, and not even a single weed grows.

"It looks like there's some kind of force that's restricting the growth of plants here. Hue muttered to himself.

Picking up a handful of dirt, Xiui sniffed it carefully.

Very fresh soil, rich in moisture.

Taking a test tube from the ring, Huey tried to analyze the composition of the soil.

But as a result, the soil here is of excellent quality, suitable for most of the magic plants.

"There's nothing wrong with the dirt, so what is causing the land to be barren?" said Huey.

The exhibition of things is never isolated, everything has a result, there must be a cause, tracing back to the source, this is the way of thinking and thinking habits that an excellent alchemist must have.

Ashlin's attainments in alchemy were too low, and his strong utilitarianism made him only focus on the refining of potions, so he didn't realize the strangeness of this area at all, let alone explore the unknown, but as soon as Xiu Yi came to this land, he felt the strangeness in it.

That's why he asked Ashlyn strangely how high his alchemy attainments were, believing that if it was Hines or Pierre who had been here, he would have tried his best to solve the mystery. Only a half-alchemy level like Ashlyn would turn a blind eye to such a scene.

After thinking for a while, Xiu Yi began to condense his magic power and sense the elemental changes in the air.

The elemental changes around it are not very strong, which means that there are no noticeable mana fluctuations in the vicinity either.

It has nothing to do with soil, it has nothing to do with demons*, so what does it have to do with it?

The more confused Huey's heart became.

As he strolled through the open wilderness, pondering what it was that would make it a place where no grass grows, he vaguely smelled something.

He was wondering when Asahi in his arms suddenly barked loudly.

"Asahi, what's wrong?"

I saw Asahi jump out of Xiuyi's arms, the hair on his body stood on end, and a low roar came out of his throat.

Its eyes were fixed on the center of the clearing.

At the same time, the blazing bird flew towards the sky, and let out a terrible cry.

"Damn!" Huey finally understood what was going on.

Over here!

It's a resting place for high-level monsters!

The fishy smell I smelled just now was the mark made by that demonic beast on its own territory.

For most high-level magical beasts, they usually only prevent those beings who might pose a threat to them from entering, but this one here doesn't seem to be that magnanimous, and it doesn't even allow plants to grow in its territory.

In the next moment, as Asahi and the Blazing Bird prepared for battle, Xiui also quickly summoned the Wind Spirit.

At the same time, the earth suddenly and violently turbulent, and the originally flat ground was now undulating like the surface of the sea, and the strange ripples like ripples in a pond stretched out in all directions.

In the center of the open field, a large deep hole appeared.

"Shhh
