The evil witch BOSS just wants to develop in a low profile

Riftwood Town Church.

Inside the spacious hall, on the right side.

Several rifts in the gray mist were clearly visible.

However, they flickered slightly from time to time, accompanied by crackling sounds.

The time for those "Pathfinders" inside to emerge was rapidly approaching.

Duke Mu Huo and Madam Mabel were both present in the church, along with numerous other staff members.

However, the center of attention was not Duke Mu Huo or Madam Mabel.

But rather an elderly gentleman in his early fifties, dressed in a black礼服 (lǐfú - formal attire), wearing a dark brown top hat, and holding a black节竹 (jié zhú - bamboo with prominent joints) cane.

He sat on a very old church pew, facing the wide arched glass幕墙 (mùqiáng - curtain wall) of the church.

His expression was calm and leisurely.

Marquis Albert Wilde from the Ministry of Justice.

He possessed the level 8 【牧魂人】(Mùhúnrén - Soul Shepherd) sequence.

He was one of the cornerstones of stability in奥格兰 (Àogélán - Aoglan) City!

Both Duke Mu Huo and Madam Mabel frequently glanced at the gray mist rifts.

They had received intelligence from observers at the first sign of unrest in the Mirror 魔域 (Móyù - Demon Realm).

A large number of 【镜像·构装者】(Jìngxiàng·Gòuzhuàngzhě - Mirror Constructs) had broken free from the mirror world, leading a large number of mirror warriors to attack the five teams of transcendents who had entered.

They did not know the specific situation inside and needed to wait for those teams to come out to understand.

There were a total of five teams.

Each team had four to five people.

Duke Mu Huo and Madam Mabel each had one team.

The other three teams were dispatched by Marquis Albert.

Whether these teams could return safely and how many战果 (zhànguǒ - battle achievements/results) they had were all part of their merit.

Being able to scout out powerful transcendents and make enough contributions to奥格兰 (Àogélán - Aoglan) City would inevitably lead to higher positions.

Before long.

The first team emerged from the gray mist rift.

There were five people in total, Duke Mu Huo's team.

After personnel counts, they had obtained 2 level 4 crystal cores and 21 level 3 construct crystal cores.

Seeing this number, Duke Mu Huo felt slightly relieved.

In the past, being able to bring out four or five construct crystal cores was already very good.

This time, many Mirror Constructs had emerged.

The danger had greatly increased, but obtaining a full 23 construct crystal cores was already a very excellent result.

After all, these transcendents were all talented transcendents he had secretly borrowed from the church.

Before long, the three teams of transcendents dispatched by Marquis Albert also returned one after another.

The three teams had lost a total of three transcendents.

The losses were considered relatively heavy.

But they also had gains, with each team obtaining a dozen or so construct crystal cores.

However, compared to Duke Mu Huo, whose single team returned intact and obtained 23 construct crystal cores, they were significantly inferior.

After some more time passed.

No one else was seen coming out.

"Buzz..."

At this time, the rifts in the gray mist began to shrink.

Seeing the rifts getting smaller and smaller, Madam Mabel's face became increasingly gloomy.

The personnel Marquis Albert had scouted were not weak in combat ability, but three had still been lost.

And the personnel she had selected, although also not bad.

But if they fell into an encircled situation, she was afraid there was a real risk of complete annihilation.

Once the team she had scouted was wiped out.

Then... she would lose the opportunity to lead the exploration of the ancient ruins.

Seeing that the gray mist rift had already shrunk to the point where humans could no longer come out.

Madam Mabel's mood finally sank heavily, a slight bitterness spreading on her tongue.

"Did... none of them escape?"

Not far away, the corners of Duke Mu Huo's mouth curled into a faint smile.

"This unrest really came at the right time!"

After carefully examining the gray mist rift near, confirming that there was absolutely no hope.

Duke Mu Huo "Gustav" looked at Madam Mabel, as if a victor announcing his triumph!

"Madam Mabel, the rift has not yet closed, perhaps there is still the blessing of the Goddess of Miracles... is there not?"

His slightly concerned voice rang out.

Seemingly comforting, but in reality, it was a heart-wrenching remark!

Just as Madam Mabel, with a grim expression, was about to turn around.

A pair of hands, filled with faint star-mark罡气 (gāngqì - stellar energy), as tough as steel, suddenly reached out along that about-to-close gray mist rift, blocking the closing of the gray mist rift.

Immediately afterwards!

In the shocked gazes of many transcendents in the church.

That pair of罡气 (gāngqì - stellar energy) hands gradually exerted force.

"Chī chī chī..."

Amidst the crackling sounds.

The about-to-close gray mist rift was forcibly torn open again.

Several people filed out from the torn gray mist rift.

"Huff... luckily we made it! Otherwise, being trapped inside would have been troublesome."

The scout小姐 (xiǎojiě - miss) patted her undulating but flat chest, panting.

The heavy armored warrior leaned on his greatsword, but his legs were also trembling slightly.

【德鲁伊】(Délǔyī - Druid) Joey was fine, he had transformed into a peregrine falcon and helped everyone find the location of the exit.

Zorn was even less of a problem.

Close to the departure time, five or six 【镜像·构装者】(Jìngxiàng·Gòuzhuàngzhě - Mirror Constructs) had charged over.

The group could only kill them all.

At this time, time was already very tight.

With the Druid transformed into a peregrine falcon, at the last moment, Zorn burst out at full speed and tore open the gray mist rift.

The group barely made it.

Although Zorn had many ways to get out if trapped inside, it was obviously best not to use them.

With the return of the four.

The slightly silent hall instantly became lively.

The expressions of the many transcendents in the Riftwood Town Church hall were also colorful.

Duke Mu Huo's gaze swept over the four, the faint smile on his face gradually disappeared, then became indifferent, and finally turned gloomy.

Madam Mabel was completely the opposite, a look of surprise first appeared on her frost-covered face, followed by a look of joy on her brow.

She couldn't wait to step forward and ask about the specific situation.

Not far away, Marquis Albert, who was sitting steadily on the old pew, couldn't help but focus his gaze on the four, more precisely on Zorn.

Just now!

That pair of罡气 (gāngqì - stellar energy) hands tearing open the gray mist rift was indeed quite a feat.

As she inquired, an increasingly joyful color appeared on Madam Mabel's face.

It was already surprising enough that the four were able to return.

And the things the four brought back were even more amazing.

She couldn't help but look at the scout小姐 (xiǎojiě - miss)'s orange-red luggage.

As the staff finished counting.

An unbelievable number was also presented.

"55 level 3 construct crystal cores, 8 level 4 construct crystal cores."

The newest novels are first published on Liù 9 Shū Bā!

"A total of 63."

With the finality of this number.

Even Marquis Albert finally got up.

You should know that the three teams he assembled only had a little over forty combined.

"I think it should be this young 【格斗家】(Gédòujiā - Fighter)先生 (xiānsheng - Mister), he should be the main force of this exploration!"

As Marquis Albert, leaning on his palm, slowly walked over, his old but powerful voice rang out, everyone gave way to him.

Marquis Albert came to the four people, his eyes fell on Zorn.

"Can you tell me what strategies and methods you used to obtain so many construct crystal cores?"

"Strategies and methods?"

Zorn thought seriously for a moment.

"Are strategies and methods even needed? Isn't it enough to just use your fists to beat all the enemies that charge over to death?"

This answer was obviously very 格斗家 (Gédòujiā - Fighter)!

Marquis Albert was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

He somewhat liked the young child in front of him.

Then he looked at Madam Mabel.

"This time, you did very well, your team will be able to add one more person."

The delighted Madam Mabel immediately responded.

"Thank you for your grace, Lord Marquis Albert."

A five-person team has more fault tolerance than a four-person team.

Not to mention there is Zorn, this pillar-level existence.

In terms of nobility, Duke Mu Huo is undoubtedly of higher rank.

But his爵位 (juéwèi - nobility) came from family inheritance.

And Marquis Albert's爵位 (juéwèi - nobility) was piled up with the corpses of enemies on the battlefield.

The war爵位 (juéwèi - nobility) of a transcendent who has been baptized by blood and fire will always have more power and persuasiveness than the爵位 (juéwèi - nobility) inherited from the family.

With the team members all out, this exploration officially ended.

After instructing some things, Marquis Albert got up and left.

And Zorn also received his share of the harvest from the staff.

Ordinary resources belong to individuals, but construct crystal cores are obviously "particularly valuable" resources.

The team obtained half of the harvest.

4 level 4 construct crystal cores, 22 level 3 construct crystal cores.

Zorn rightfully took 4 level 4 construct crystal cores and 10 level 3 construct crystal cores.

The three then each had 4 level 3 construct crystal cores.

Soon Duke Mu Huo left quickly with his men.

However, the gaze that fell on Zorn before leaving was filled with indifference and hatred.

The intersection of the gears of fate meant that the two were destined to be enemies.

Already level 3, and already halfway through the level 4 process, Zorn was not afraid of the hostility from Duke Mu Huo.

Moreover, the big pit dug by Duke Mu Huo next was about to explode!

The fuse will be lit by Zorn Creek.

Soon, the group got into Madam Mabel's steam car.

【德鲁伊】(Délǔyī - Druid) Joey did not come up, he could fly back by himself.

By the time the warrior and the scout小姐 (xiǎojiě - miss) were delivered to their destinations.

It was already getting dark.

Madam Mabel, closing the car door, lit a lady's cigarette, took a deep breath and slowly said.

"Driver Kane is trustworthy, we have a life-or-death friendship."

"Some small troubles will be solved by him, you can say directly what you want to say!"

The sense of smell of 【倒影人】(Dàoyǐngrén - Reflection Person) Madam Mabel is indeed extraordinary.

"I have many discoveries in the Mirror 魔域 (Móyù - Demon Realm)."

Zorn straightened his expression and said.

"The most important discovery is... I saw a secret圣玛雅 (Shèng Mǎyǎ - Saint Maya) ritual密语 (mìyǔ - incantation) in a mirror space."

"From my transcendent knowledge, this should be a ritual incantation to open the gray mist rift through a ritual."

Upon hearing this, 【倒影人】(Dàoyǐngrén - Reflection Person) Madam Mabel's body trembled slightly.

She looked at Zorn cautiously and lowered her voice.

"You mean... we don't have to wait for the natural opening of the gray mist rift, but can actively open it with a ritual?"

"From the content of the ritual, yes!"

"As long as a certain amount of sacrifices are made, the gray mist rift can be opened at any time."

Zorn said so.

"And..."

He continued to tell.

"According to my understanding of these secret ancient ruins, this type of gray mist rift is often related to the first layer world."

"Isn't the first layer the Gray Mist Knight world?"

"I think there should be some harvest from killing the Gray Mist Knight, is there not in the harvest?"

Zorn's words seemed to instantly awaken Madam Mabel.

Past memories quickly surfaced.

The first layer Gray Mist Knight was killed by Duke Mu Huo's people.

If it is really as Zorn said.

If there is indeed a ritual to open the gray mist rift.

Then it must have been hidden by Duke Mu Huo.

"That damned bastard, he hid important information."

Even Madam Mabel, who has excellent cultivation, couldn't help but curse at this time!
