Six Ring Wizard

Herage looked at the ground expressionlessly and let go of the woman in his arms. ☞

He took a few steps forward, looking like he was taking a walk.

Finally, he stood next to the campfire, holding a long sword in his hand.

Herage looked at the ground, silently holding the long sword.

After a moment, he suddenly thrust the sword into the ground, piercing it deeply.

A stream of blood shot out from the ground, and the monster's painful wail could be heard faintly.

Underground is a long-shaped monster with many tentacles attached to its body like the roots of a plant.

This monster was summoned through the Shadow Altar, so it will not attack Herague.

Herage watched the movement of this monster and waited at this place in advance.

The moment the monster swam past, he struck it down with a sword, killing it instantly.

Herage's goal was to reach Tareth County smoothly, and this monster could be considered a contribution to himself.

These monsters were summoned to help the wizards, but now they are just in a different way.

Torre and Ferry were relieved when they saw this scene. This kind of monster lurking underground is the most difficult to deal with.

Monsters that move underground are generally very fast, and it is difficult to accurately capture their traces.

Even if the location can be found accurately, it is difficult to cause effective damage to them.

The methods they are good at are somewhat helpless against the monsters hiding underground, and their powerful power cannot be exerted much through the thick soil.

Generally, only spell casters have some special methods that can handle this situation well, but now there are very few spell casters.

Now because of the war with wizards, spellcasters are becoming more and more important.

As long as they have spellcasting qualifications, they are basically recruited by some big forces, and there are very few who wander outside as adventurers.

This leads to the fact that even if an adventure group offers a high price, spellcasters rarely choose to become adventurers.

Even a powerful adventure group like Ferry is finding it difficult to recruit spellcasters now.

It’s not that I can’t afford the price, but that others don’t want to come.

After Herague solved the trouble underground, Ferry's adventure group could easily deal with other monsters.

About half an hour later, all the invading monster groups were wiped out.

Although a few people on Ferry's side were injured, no one died, which was considered very lucky.

After this night, the people in the caravan had a more intuitive impression of the strength of this taciturn, thin man, and became more in awe.

…

Two months later, the caravan arrived in Tarez County, but there were eight fewer people in the caravan.

Herage couldn't even remember how many times he encountered monster attacks on the road, it had become a common occurrence.

In the remaining half of the Norn Kingdom, except for the slightly safer areas around the city, other areas are very dangerous.

At least for ordinary people, it is relatively dangerous.

The further away from the border, the fewer monsters there are.

By the time we reach Tareth County, there are already very few monsters.

Even if a monster appears, it will be quickly eliminated by the defense forces here.

It is still difficult for those monsters to travel long distances to get here.

"Mr. Ruark, this is your reward. Thank you for your efforts along the way." Torre took out a bag of gold coins and said.

Herage doesn't look amazing, but he is powerful. He has made many moves to save the day.

He took the heavy money bag. There were probably more than three hundred gold coins in it, which was far more than the originally agreed price.

Herage said: "Isn't this reward a little too much?"

Torre smiled and said: "You deserve such a reward. We will stay in Tarez County for about half a year. If you are interested, you can continue to come to me."

"No problem." Herage nodded slightly without any expression and said nothing more.

Torre didn't care either. He had long been used to Herrag's expression and knew that he was like this and didn't like to talk.

After Herage, Torre and others said goodbye, they went to the city to buy a horse, replenished some supplies, and then headed out of the city toward the Strange Valley.

Herage also learned about it during this time. Since the Strange Valley was invaded, the World Tree there had been uprooted.

Now there are no elves living in Strange Valley, and no humans living there.

Only some people will go there to see the scene there, but they won't stay long.

Because that place has always been the territory of the elves, and no one dares to stay there for fear of provoking the elves.

It takes about a month to get from Tares County to Strange Valley. Herage didn't see many people along the way, and there were also very few caravans.

In the past, there were many caravans on this road, specializing in elven business.

But now that the elves over there have been destroyed, these caravans have naturally moved.

One month later.

Herage arrived at the small town outside the Strange Valley.

When he first came to this town with the Ruby Chamber of Commerce, the town was still very prosperous, with a constant flow of people coming and going.

But now there was only deathly silence, and the whole town was in ruins.

Many houses have collapsed, and occasionally a few adventurers can be seen looking for an abandoned house to rest in the town.

They only used this place as a stopover when they were on their way.

Herage's arrival aroused the vigilance of these people.

Those who dare to act alone outside these days are not simple people.

Herage paid no attention to these people and walked around the town.

The hotel where I lived at that time was in a state of dilapidation. Judging from the traces, it seemed that some fierce conflicts had occurred before, and the main structure of the house was destroyed.

After Herrag wandered around the town for a while, he headed to the depths of the Strange Valley.

When he arrived at the outskirts of Strange Valley, he was a little dumbfounded.

Originally, there was a forest outside the Strange Valley, which was also a defense fortification of the Strange Valley.

But now there is no forest, there is only a wasteland in front of us, without any grass growing.

There are some char residues on the ground, as well as many messy footprints.

Herage looked at this scene and seemed to see many people taking away all the coke here.

It seemed that the forest was indeed extraordinary. Even though it was burned to charcoal, it was still snatched away by a group of people as a treasure.

Naturally, the original fence disappeared, and Herage stepped into the wasteland and walked deeper.

He looked up into the distance, and the huge World Tree had disappeared.

The houses in Strange Valley have also disappeared, replaced by various large pits and cracks.

The cracks on the ground are very exaggerated. The widest ones are seven or eight meters wide, like a canyon.

Herage quickened his pace and arrived at the location of the World Tree. (End of chapter)
