On the other side, Victor led the team to the large mine marked on the map.
Hidden hunter Maddie is exploring the path alone at the front. He has completely separated from the team, but as agreed, he will leave simple markers along the way to point out the direction for his companions behind.
The gladiatorial slave Kent carries two wooden barrels containing life distortion potion; Harvey is responsible for the wooden barrel containing more than 100 alchemical snake touches. These two materials are extremely precious and must be protected by dedicated personnel. Harvey and Kent both set fire to
With the fire of the soul, he is fully capable of ensuring that the two precious materials will not be spilled halfway.
Therefore, Victor can only carry the "burdens" in the team alone, including but not limited to gold, jewelry, secret medicine with a total value of more than 40,000 gold towers, and the three girls Ruth, Jessica and Stephanie
.
The pursuers behind them have dust falcons as eyes, and they may also have eland as their guide. Even if Victor arranges for the Alchemy Demon to stop the pursuers, they must find a populated mine quickly to render the dust falcons in the sky useless.
After a night's rest, everyone in the team was full of energy, strong in physical fitness, and fully capable of speeding up the march.
Neither Harvey nor Kent needed Victor to worry about. Even though they were carrying barrels, they walked as fast as flying.
Victor is most worried about Stephanie. The little girl is only ten years old. She is small and weak, and she has not been implanted with the alchemical snake touch. Her physical fitness should be the worst among the team. Everyone is afraid that she will not be able to keep up, so
The previous marching speed was deliberately to accommodate Stephanie and was not the fastest.
However, Stephanie's current performance shocked Victor.
The surrounding environment is composed of sparse forests and disconnected rocky mountains and low hills. Since the soil layer on the surface is relatively shallow, there are no tall plants and soft grass carpets. Rocks and gravel are often exposed outside, with strange shapes and shapes, not to mention that it is difficult to walk on.
It is also very obstructive to traffic.
Perhaps realizing that the situation was critical, or perhaps to prove that she was not a liability, Stephanie insisted on walking at the front of the team. She was like a dexterous deer that could easily jump over large rocks half a person's height, and she was also alertly paying attention to what was going on around her.
, at least two ferrets and a badger were spotted on the road.
This energetic little girl is actually playing the role of McGrady, and she's doing it well. It's no wonder that McGrady met Lie Xinxi and wanted to accept her as a student.
Victor had to admit that Stephanie was indeed a good candidate for the Dark Hunter, but looking back, he realized that she could walk very fast before and there was no need to accommodate her when the team was marching.
So, is it a deliberate show of weakness to win sympathy and pity from adults?
The little girl is not old, but she is quite thoughtful...
Victor did not continue to delve deeper. He looked back at Ruth and Jessica who were holding his hands, and could only sigh helplessly.
These two young girls are both true professionals, one is a second-level archer, the other is a second-level animal trainer, and they have also been implanted with the alchemical snake touch. Logically speaking, traveling through the wilderness is not difficult for them at all.
.
In fact, it is just the opposite. Because of their mental impairment, Ruth and Jessica are easily distracted from anything they do and cannot sustain it for a long time. They even look around when walking on the most basic road. When they see rabbits chasing rabbits or when they see beautiful flowers, they have to step on them.
And reasoning with them won't do anything.
At the beginning, Victor rescued the two sisters from the hands of the orc bone collector, but also encountered the same problem.
He and his entourage tried many methods to no avail, and finally decided to tie the two of them up with a rope and lead them on their way. And they had to be tied around the neck. Victor could easily subdue them with a little force. If they were tied,
Holding their chests, waists or arms, they would definitely compete with Victor in strength, and then tear the ropes rolled out of bark.
Victor himself felt that before the method of tying the neck was adopted, taking Ruth and Jessica on the road would be a disaster.
Although it looks like a slave master holding two female slaves, he at least brought the two sisters from the wilderness back to a civilized country.
Therefore, not long after Victor arrived in Water Snake Town, he added two exquisite slave girl collars to his shopping list, which were now fastened around the necks of Ruth and Jessica.
Even so, don't expect them to travel seriously, not to mention that there are no existing roads in this wilderness.
They moved forward on the rugged ground and walked for about an hour and a half when they met McGrady who was returning.
The old scout ran over excitedly and said to Victor: "Sir, I found the mine... There are many slave miners over there."
Everyone was relieved to hear the news.
Victor couldn't help but smile, he could now be sure that the map prepared by the mayor's butler was authentic.
The real map helped them a lot. If it was a false and incorrect map, if you think about it carefully, you will know that the harm involved is related to everyone's life and death.
Since there are large mines nearby, there must be many slaves mining.
Victor is not sure whether artificially tamed dust falcons can tell the difference between barbarians and half-elves, but there should always be half-elf overseers around barbarian slave miners.
The number of half-elf overseers is not too small, and they are private armed forces that can suppress the barbarian miners by force.
Dust Falcon can't tell the difference between half-elf and half-elf, right?
"Have you seen the half-elf overseer guarding the mine?" Victor asked.
Maddie shook her head and said: "Not yet... Sir, give me a little more time. I'll go inside and take a look. I should be able to find the half-elf overseer."
"No." Victor decisively rejected Maddie's offer. They didn't have enough time, and they shouldn't deal with the half-elf armed forces guarding the mine. That was definitely not a wise move.
"We must try our best to avoid the barbarian miners and half-elf overseers, bypass the mine from the outside, and find a safe temporary foothold. If you have enough time, you have to make a trip to check on Herman and the others.
"
Maddie also felt that Victor's arrangement was very appropriate, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I will continue to explore the way for you in front."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Victor suddenly frowned and turned his face to the left.
Dark hunter Maddie and ferocious warrior Kent, two guys with keen intuition, also reacted immediately, quickly removed their burdens and assumed a alert posture.
"Come out, I see you!" Victor shouted.
Shield Guard Harvey immediately stood in front of his master, facing a huge brown rock as high as a two-story building forty meters away.
The next moment, a slim figure came out from behind the boulder and walked towards Victor timidly.
When Stephanie saw the person clearly, she was shocked and shouted: "Ah, that's sucking..."
She immediately covered her mouth with both hands and forced the second half of the words back into her stomach.
The visitor was Christine, the wife of the mayor of Water Snake Town, who was famous for her beauty.
Stephanie once spied on her sucking the blood of the thief Bobby, thus confirming her identity as a vampire, and later informed Victor and others of this information.
Stephanie had hatred, fear, and a little bit of envy for Christine. She was inevitably panicked when she suddenly saw the vampire appear. However, the little girl reacted very quickly. She instantly thought that Christine didn't actually know her, so she held back.
No, I didn't reveal the vampire's identity in public.
Christine didn't know where she found a shabby and wide felt coat to put on her body. The hem of the felt coat reached to her knees, revealing a pair of slender and straight beautiful calves, and her bare feet inevitably stepped on the ground.
The mud and grass ash stuck to it contrasted with the pure white skin, making her feet look delicate and tender, making people feel pity for the beautiful mayor's wife.
As Christine moves around, the large felt clothes cannot hide her proud body curves, especially the two bulges on her chest that rise and fall, but always stubbornly return to their original positions. This shows that they are firm and elastic, and it is easy to imagine.
Under that shabby felt coat, I was actually wearing nothing.
Even though the mayor's wife is in a very embarrassed state now, the way she walks over barefoot makes men think about her and makes Stephanie jealous.
She had to admit that the charm of this vampire witch was irresistible.
Both Harvey and Maddie had undergone mental body modification. When faced with Christine's alluring charm, they both subconsciously looked away. It was very short-lived. After they reacted, their moods became gloomy and annoyed.
.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on their lack of determination. Christine's bloodline is naturally charming and corresponds to the underlying laws of life. It involves the instinct of desire and is difficult to be exempted.
Of course, immunity is not absolutely impossible. For example, the gladiator slave Kent successfully exempted Stephanie from unconscious charm with his terrifying willpower.
"She doesn't seem to have any ill intentions." Kent stared at Christine and whispered to Victor.
Victor can ignore Christine's charm. In his eyes, she is just a beautiful and sexy half-elf woman with no special aura.
"How did you find me?" Victor pushed aside Harvey and Kent who were blocking him, and asked Christine who walked in front of him.
Christine first glanced at Stephanie, who had been silent next to her. One of her talents was to sense other people's inner emotions. She could now sense this little girl's hatred and jealousy towards her. But then she maintained her
Ke Duo knelt down in front of him, looked up at him, and said softly:
"Great Master, this is your true appearance... You are like the sun during the day and the moon at night, majestic and kind. I fear you and long to be close to you. I am convinced that it is the light emanating from the great master that guides me,
Let me always find you."
Victor can sense the alchemical snake touch in Christine's body, and he is also vaguely aware of some strange connection between himself and Christine.
Christine explained it very clearly. She said that Victor was like the sun and moon in the sky. She could see it as long as she raised her head. This should be a spiritual feeling that can be used to determine the direction, but Victor was not
There is no feeling like Christine, and there is no corresponding spiritual burden.
This is obviously Christine's unilateral psychic connection with Victor.
What Victor can be sure of is that Christine will obey his will.
"You want to follow me?" Victor asked.
"Yes, following the great master is the whole meaning of my life!"
Christine said in an almost pious tone: "Even if the master rejects me today, I will still linger near the master, waiting for the master's call and dispatch at any time."
After a moment of silence, Victor asked again: "You want to follow me, what skills do you have?"
A happy smile suddenly appeared on Christine's charming face. She stood up and said to Victor playfully:
"Most of my skills are related to charm. I can charm and control half-elves, barbarians, half-orcs, alien orcs, and animals... I am happy to tell the great master all my skills... But master,
Do you really want me to disclose my abilities in front of these people?"
Victor has all the information about the Alchemy Demon's abilities, but he will not easily reveal the secrets of the Alchemy Demon to a third party.
The same thing applies to Christine.
"...then there's no need to worry."
Victor nodded, then said: "You are good at charming, well... there is a large mine ahead, and I need information about the mine... You go and charm a barbarian miner or a half-elf overseer, and bring it back to me for questioning.
"
"This is too simple." Christine kept a charming smile and said softly: "I know that mine, it belongs to the property of the landowner Kemir's family, but the Kemir family does not station supervisors and guards in the mine. In fact,
, the mine is completely controlled by the barbarian slave miners inside. They regularly and quantitatively hand over raw ore to the Kemir family. The Kemir family allows the barbarian slaves to resell the abundant minerals in exchange for food and living supplies."
"In this way, the Kemir family saves a lot of money on private security. Otherwise, the profits they get from the mines will be very small. And the price is the independence of the slave miners."
"These barbarian slaves can trade with bandits, caravans, and Yolsa wandering convoys. Whoever gives them food, living supplies, weapons and equipment, they will sell the excess ore to whomever."
"It just so happens that my former housekeeper has done business with the barbarian slave miners here many times. I have heard about their leader... How about I directly charm the leader of the barbarian slaves and help the master secretly control this mining area?"
