"Duka" is famous among the high elves - "genius Duka" and "Duka" and similar titles have appeared in many historical books, but without exception: his records have been mentioned in one sentence, and he has never spent any more time.

All the reasons lie in his most famous nickname: "The Cursed Dukal".

Nefi didn't know why he was "cursed", but from the records of "Dialogue with the Dragon", she learned a fact: Dukar never received recognition from the high-elf people in his life.

"Yeah, the answer is correct."

Camilla whispered to affirm Nafi's answer. She pulled up her daughter's little hand and walked towards the Pashar Demon Tower, but she was thinking in her heart that she would quickly see if there was a new record in the monitoring magic circle...

Will there be an explosion? Will Roddy be in danger?

Because of her silence, the atmosphere between mother and daughter became a little cold, but Camilla quickly realized that she shouldn't be so cold-hearted, so she continued to ask: "So have you talked about other things in the book? Have you mentioned 'Dragon Wild,'"

"It was mentioned that it was a special skill that could intimidate the enemy according to bloodline..." Nafi then shook his head, "I don't know before I read the one behind."

"Well, I will continue to test your questions after reading this book. Mom will go to the top of the Magic Tower first. Just play in the library below. Remember not to leave the city.

"I got it, mom."

Although Nefi didn't say much, she could feel the anxiety and worry in the other party's heart when she looked at her mother's back as she left. In Nefi's memory, her mother had never cared about anyone so much. Even when she asked the question "Who is my father?", there was no unnecessary expression on Camilla's face...

Thinking of some possibility in his mind, Naifei was not sure for a moment, so she could only bury this idea in her heart. She looked back at the team unloading crystals in the shadow of the Demon Tower, sorted out the fiery red hair, and walked towards the library at the base of the Demon Tower.

June 14th.

In the northwest of Jingyu Forest, the team of the "Holy Association" changed its previous rapid progress. All 42 members were in the forest and began to slowly advance step by step.

When the adjutant beside Lucius made a gesture of "stop moving forward", everyone's steps were immediately fixed. At this time, the arcanes did not condense any elements. After the breath was converging, even the hunter with a sharp sense of senses could not detect their existence.

However, such "lurking" is just a "pediatric" in Lucius's eyes. His strength reaches his level at this time, and he understands how vigilant the dragon clan is. So an hour ago, he cast an "arcane shielding barrier" that can perfectly conceal sound, smell, breath and even elemental rhythm.

Obviously, Lucius had already made full preparations.

"Dragon Slaying" must require careful planning and calculation, and it is definitely not as simple and crude as "rushing up and fighting" - the "Dragon Clan" is a high-level creature, and a giant dragon hidden in the forest will naturally be extremely vigilant... The "shoulder" dragon clan in the mouth of the minstrel is to coax children, and has only one life. The dragon clan with a long life knows the principle of "avoiding danger" better than humans.

"Elder, all the team members are in place."

The adjutant whispered to Lucius, "The members of the investigation reported the results. As you guessed, there were no crystals in the ruins."

"The dragon clan is not a self-contained creature after all. They know how to learn better than humans."

Lucius had no surprise expression at all. He raised his hand and pointed to the scene in front of him, saying, "The other party took away the crystals left in the ruins, and then built a warning array and a protective barrier next to it. However, although the disguise is clever, there are traces to follow."

Knowing the barrier, Lucius was not in a hurry to attack... For a team with [Tooth of Murder], it was unnecessary to try their best to alert the snake.

He slowly put the Tooth of Murder in front of him and continued: "It will not take long to dissolve these barriers, so the Chaos Defense barrier must be maintained now... And when the other party appears, everything will behave as planned, and there must be no accidents."

Lucius breathed slowly and said with a serious expression: "Remember, even if the other party is a seriously injured dragon, we will not have a second chance."

"Yes, elder."

The adjutant whispered the order. In less than half a minute, the arcanes who stood in the special formation began to recite spells silently. When the "chaotic defense barrier" cast by condensing all the power of the mages was quietly formed, Lucius looked up at the "arcane shield barrier" that could perfectly disguise the team. After confirming that there was no problem, he raised his hand to start casting...

At the same time, Roddy's team had just stepped into the ruins.

Because he did not lead the engineer team to advance together, Roddy, who was thinking of finding the ruins as soon as possible, rushed here all the way.

Because of the limited manpower, Roddy only asked Nata and two scout teams to explore and guard the surroundings. After confirming that "there is no abnormality", he immediately ordered the team to start searching the ruins...

It is indeed a military fortress that has not yet been destroyed, as Camilla described.

The high-elves' buildings are different from humans. From Roddy's perspective, the fortress in front of him is completely like a miniature version of Elsen City: the walls are not high and the area is not large, but the well-preserved buildings inside can be called "full of all organs".

The high-elf villages and towns I saw before have many wooden buildings and cannot be recognized in shape, but the fortress still retains a complete layout because of its pure stone. The "Arsenal", "Equipment Library", "Dormitory" and "Cauern" still stand. However, the original training grounds have long been covered with big trees as high as the city wall. Within the view, everything seems to be full of primitive atmosphere.

"Don't miss any place, look carefully and report any situation at any time."

Roddy, who was carrying a short bow on his back and holding a tomahawk, pointed around: "Team 1, Team 2 searched for all rooms on the ground, Team 3 was paying attention to the entrance to the basement, Team 4 was on guard outside."

After ordering one by one, Roddy looked up at Nata who was standing on the giant tree, made a gesture, turned her head and made a "fight alert" gesture to Soderol and Akasha behind her, then looked at Nokia who was guarding the door of the fortress, and walked into the depths of the fortress...

Although it is calm on the surface, the closer he gets to the fortress along the way, the tighter the string in his heart becomes. It is absolutely a lie to say that he is not nervous. Roddy can withstand the pressure, but it does not mean that he can be "silent"...

The heart was beating "puffed" and sweat oozed from the palm of his hand holding the axe... Roddy, who was familiar with Elson City, knew that in the fortress, the crystals stored in the central magic array were usually located in the center of the entire building complex: that is, the "command tower" that Roddy had just entered.

However, as soon as he walked in, Roddy took the lead in notice of the traces on the ground...

"footprint?"

There was a soft mushroom blanket on the ground in the stone room, and the footprints on it were clearly visible. Soder immediately took a few steps forward and lowered his head to confirm: "It should have been left in one day, and the marks of the squeezing of the soles of the leather boots have not disappeared."

Roddy's face changed slightly. Without saying a word, he picked up the axe and continued walking in. Soderol followed behind him with a sword and shield in his hand, while Akasha, who was standing at the door, frowned and looked around, as if confirming something...

But she soon found that she was about to be thrown into the darkness by Roddy, and quickly lit up the ring in her hand and followed the two of them.

The command room was not big, and Roddy quickly found a place marked "rechargeable crystal stone warehouse", but after entering the stone gate, the scene in front of him instantly made his heart feel cold:

The whole room was empty and nothing

He and Soder even noticed a detail at the same time: the dust on the ground had obvious edge marks, which means... crystal stones were indeed stored here.

Soderol carefully looked at the details in the room and then whispered: "The footprints of two people extend here along the way, and there are not many signs of people walking around... And judging from the dust marks, the number of crystals here is at least 500, and it may even double."

"I've heard of magic that can carry things, but so many crystals are probably difficult to move at once-"

"Someone can move out at once."

Roddy narrowed his eyes, and he didn't think of anyone else in his mind. The first thing that emerged was the Holy Society Arcane with the font "black".

Only a guy of this level can easily carry so many crystals - and logically, it is normal for the Holy Society to be interested in "charged crystals"... So Roddy's instinctive judgment may have been done by them.

However, Roddy was not angry or lost control of this. He took a deep breath, turned around, and whispered while walking out: "Summary the news and finally confirm that if there is really nothing here, go to the next target immediately."

The more he reached the desperate situation, Roddy's mind became clearer. After so many setbacks and battles, he already understood how to stabilize the morale of the army at critical moments.

"Report, no crystal was found"

"Report, no discovery..."

Walking out of the command room, messages came as expected. Roddy pursed her lips slightly and said nothing. However, just as the team gradually gathered, he found that Akasha was looking around in confusion.

"Is there a situation?"

"Rody, I think...is not right."

Akasha's eyes swept through the stone rooms and the tall giant trees, looking confused but with a hint of fear: "There is a chaotic atmosphere here... It makes me feel uncomfortable, I think... we'd better leave here as soon as possible."

Roddy looked at her and hesitated for a half second, then said loudly without hesitation: "Everyone, retreat immediately."

Akasha is the only jurist in the team and has the title of "Angelic of Death". Regardless of whether she feels sharp or not, Roddy must trust her intuition.

Four teams of soldiers, Roddy and others rushed out of the fortress together, but before they could take a few steps, everyone heard the sound of the barrier shattering that suddenly spread throughout the sky.

"Click"

"Don't stop"

A certain premonition suddenly arose in Roddy's heart. He shouted this to the team, but then he found that everything in his ears had disappeared.

What fills the whole world is a kind of roar that has never heard of before...

There was no shock wave or dust raised, Roddy felt a sudden blankness in his mind, and then he lost control of his body, and he was frozen in place.
