In the early morning of the 33rd, when the sun was still two hours away from rising, Dugan Blue Dragon followed the mercenary leader Emmanuel Joe to the outside of a courtyard next to a temple near Longtai Mountain, staring at the courtyard from a distance.
"Are you sure this is the gathering address of black magicians?" Dugan asked the mercenary beside him,
"This is right next to the temple, and there is a dragon station in the yard!" Just before that, the mercenaries and Dugan raided the lair of at least three orc thieves and a junior magician. The bounty of patterned equipment, magic potions, and the thieves themselves is enough to satisfy all the knights and cavalry involved in the operation.
For Emmanuel, the most important thing was that he rescued a mage apprentice who had been missing for several years outside the city. In the future, he would have a pharmacist in his team.
However, the mage apprentice provided them with another piece of information, that is, the black mentor Uzloni had a small plantation and potion workshop in a yard near Longtai Mountain.
So Dugan and the mercenaries came outside the temple in the dark and muttered to the wall criminals who were not very tall.
"Knight Dugan, I'm sure that the apprentice must be talking about this place. Some of my subordinates are more sensitive to potions, but I'm not sure how to get in." The mercenary leader nodded.
"I know, just keep an eye on me here." Dugan didn't say much, ran to the side and picked up a magic mirror.
Not long after, Tierney came riding the junior monster Vine Wind.
"Is this the courtyard? Are you sure there is an assassin in here?" After several confirmations, the young knight took out a bottle of magic potion from the space ring, and took out a handful of seeds from his waist. After adding a few drops of magic potion, With a gentle breath, the seeds that grew out of umbrella-shaped wadding flew into the yard with the wind.
"Can you share the field of vision with plants?" Dugan's eyes widened. This is something only a high-level life mage can have.
"It's Fujifeng who can feel the flying catkins." Tierney patted his mount and quickly nodded to the two of them.
"There are no guards inside, but there is indeed a problem. You can go in and take a look." Several knights glanced at each other, and Tierney rose gracefully on the vine wind, landed in the yard, opened the door, and Dugan led the knights They filed in, waiting for Tierney to use flying catkins to conduct reconnaissance before entering the city to search.
Soon they found a basement entrance in the main house. A junior knight entered the basement first and screamed as soon as he landed.
"Ah~" Dugan immediately followed after realizing that something was wrong. The knight in the meantime had a long worm as thick as his wrist wrapped around his waist. It was stuck tightly in the knight's waist. Dugan slashed with his sword without saying a word. It collided with the long insect and made a metallic sound.
Before he could swing his sword again, he felt a huge force being pulled under his feet. Looking closer, he found that the long worm was not an animal, but some kind of extremely thick vine. The vine was like a python, once it wrapped around his ankle, it would continue to grow. Drill up.
"Is this a man-eating vine?" Dugan knew that such strangely moving magical plants originated from the lizard forest south of the empire. They were usually used to guard lizard temples and treasure houses, and there were also some high-level magic plants that would coexist with them.
It is rare to see giant dragons in the northwest region of the empire. The one in front of you must be used by the black mentor to look after the magic plant nursery.
Now that he knew the details of his opponent, it would be easier to crack it. Dugan dispersed his magic field and quickly found the place on the magic vine where the magic was strongest. At this moment, his right hand and sword were already entangled by the magic vine. So he took out a magic pattern short blade with his left hand and threw it out hard. The short blade formed a complex trajectory in the air and penetrated directly into the magic vine.
In an instant, the demonic vine let go of the two of them and burrowed underground at high speed.
"Run away!" Tierney jumped down and shouted. Two potion bottles exploded around the magic vine. In an instant, green mist enveloped the magic vine. Countless small plants locked the entire magic vine, and Tierney flew away. He stepped forward and thrust his sword directly into the magic vine. Ren Qiyou kept struggling and turning.
"How about burning this?" Dugan was a little scared when he looked at the primary magic plant in front of him. Although this thing was only at the level of a primary magic beast, it could exert special power in this narrow, cramped and mud-filled environment.
"No, I'll keep it for use. I don't want anything else today, just this one. You can keep the rest of the magic plants for adults, and just divide the rest." Tierney watched the magic vine struggle. It was almost done, with a smile on his face, he grabbed it with one hand, and kept spreading magic potion on the vine with the other hand.
As soon as the outer skin of the dark green vine came into contact with the gray-purple magic potion, burning foam immediately appeared, and the skin instantly turned from green to gray. The knight spread the magic potion like pepper noodles, and the entire dozens of meters long man-eating vine was spread over it. Tierney's hand was like a loach that was about to die of thirst. It could stir at first, but soon there was only a weak twitching, which made Dugan a little scared.
The full picture of Master Black's underground nursery was finally revealed: in a basement of about 500 square meters, between the fields and ridges, various dark magic plants were neatly arranged, and some simple life and wind magic patterns were painted on the surrounding walls. , promote plant growth.
The huge roof is like a starry sky. In a circular formation with an area of no less than a hundred square meters, magic crystals as small as eggs and as large as two fists are inlaid like stars.
"These crystals are so weird. They don't seem to be providing magic power to the magic circle, but they are absorbing magic power from the magic circle!" Tierney looked up, frowning.
"Tierney, can you tell anything now?" Dugan asked.
"I can't tell. I'm afraid I need to ask a senior magician or above to know." The young knight shook his head.
"Can you contact Master Gu Leiya? It's best to invite her over. Only by inviting her over can everything inside be considered Lord Lant's." Dugan nodded, feeling a little depressed. Tonight What he did was entirely done privately with the mercenaries. He wanted to earn some extra money for the team in the royal capital. Unexpectedly, he was full of magic crystals and invited the dragon girl over.
Now all gains have to be reported to Rand. By the time Dragon Girl was picked up, it was already broad daylight, and everyone looked at her dizzy and confused.
"Duggan, are you brave? You came here privately without Lant's consent." Gu Leya took a look at it twice and understood the situation, and said with a smile.
"No matter what Lant does, you will never allow yourselves to come to a place like this."
"What do you think we should do now?" Tierney glared at Dugan and asked.
"Of course we must put all the magic plants away. If we don't take them away, will we leave them to those assassins and thieves?" Gu Leiya is very satisfied with the magic plants around her. Many of them are important raw materials for breakthrough and promotion potions.
"As for the magic circle above, I will copy it down in a moment. Our magic school will definitely use it in the future."
