The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

A group of children carried soil baskets, some to dig out yellow mud, and others to use pig grass to make sure there was no leakage, and carried them to Zhao Chuanxin's house one after another.

And the children, sifting the sand in front of the sieve.

Defu is a qualified manager. According to Zhao Chuanxin's teaching, he transported a few baskets of soil in exchange for a piece of candy. Wherever there is an accident, he will go to comfort and encourage morale.

Zhao Chuanxin completely became the hands-off shopkeeper.

Open the diary.

[I made an amazing discovery. It turns out that the light of the lantern flower can change its shape. 】

[In the deep shadow forest, this interesting phenomenon is nothing more than an adjustment to the itinerary. 】

[But as I walked, I found that the light of the lantern flowers was changing, and it was unknowingly guiding my path. 】

[Looking back, I can no longer find the way back to the forest elf tribe, or even the way out of the forest. I'm lost. 】

[I suddenly thought, beacon, beacon, beacon, where are the beacons pointing me? 】

[At this moment, I finally remembered when the forest elf handed the lantern flower into my hand, with an unknown smile on his face. 】

[Behind the smile, is there kindness, or is it looking forward to something with malice? 】

At this point, Zhao Chuanxin had already noticed something was wrong. I think he always does things by calculating all the mechanisms and planning before taking action. Just because all the actions in that world were just put on paper, and if you were careless, you seemed to have been tricked by the forest elves.

The idea came to mind, and the image of a loyal elder appeared in my mind. Is this the case with Niu Guanshi?

Most people in the world wear a mask. Behind the mask, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

[While I was thinking about it, there was a roar in the woods nearby. The grass was quickly parted, and the loud noise filled me with fear. 】

[In fear, I almost didn’t think much, and immediately blew the eagle bone whistle, and the devil’s vine shot away in that direction. 】

[One end of the devil's vine is tied to the tree, and the other end is rolled down. 】

[A huge rat struggled and was hung up. 】

Huh? This trick is very useful.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that he could imitate it in the real world.

[Devil Vine drinks a lot of blood. 】

[I walked over to check and found a square entrance made of stones. The entrance leads underground, looking like a huge black mouth that selects and devours people. 】

[This is the shape of the mausoleum. 】

[Should I go in and explore? 】

If it were the real world, Zhao Chuanxin would not get into the trap.

But here was the diary, and he thought quickly. If the forest elves set a trap for him, there might be something sinister waiting for him at the destination pointed by the lantern flower. The appearance of the giant rat was an accident, and it unexpectedly broke the established route.

This should be a good thing.

"I chose to enter the tomb and explore," he wrote.

[The stone walls of the tunnel in the mausoleum are covered with words written in various handwritings. 】

[The first row reads: The shameful Druid clan, together with their six orc legions, under the slogan of promoting civilization, invaded the land of our forest elf clan and even occupied our tomb. 】

[The second row reads: We, the Druid family, are the strong ones in the Shadow Forest. 】

[The third row reads: The Druids have occupied the living space of our bear tribe. 】

[The fourth row reads: The interests of our Ant-Man tribe have been violated by the Bears, and we will definitely attack them! 】

[The fifth row reads: It’s extremely ridiculous. The Ant-Man tribe and the Bear-Man tribe are fighting on the territory of the forest elves, and they are blaming each other. 】

[The sixth row reads: Fight, I will provide you with the necessary weapons! Although our bird-men's body structure is not good at lifting objects, our pockets are technologically advanced and can hold any supplies you want! 】

[The deeper stone walls are filled with traces of war with swords and axes, and broken walls are everywhere. 】

[While I was observing, a voice came from the depths of the mausoleum: Stranger, you have arrived at Ant-Man’s territory. 】

[I followed the sound and saw an ant that was full of fat intestines and bigger than a human, walking quickly. 】

[I was shocked and took two steps back. 】

[The ant noticed the fear on my face, proudly waved its ferocious and powerful mandibles, and said to me: Stranger, are you here to look for opportunities? I advise you to give up this idea. This place should belong to our Ant-Man tribe. But if you come here to provide assistance or look for business opportunities, then I welcome you to join! 】

[Should I be coy and conceding, or should I retreat in spite of the difficulty? 】

There was a lot of information, and Zhao Chuanxin was not willing to leave in despair. Therefore, he chose to be conceited and resigned.

[Ant-Man and I pretended to be indifferent, and Ant-Man agreed to take me to visit the mausoleum. 】

[I saw the bear men who occasionally passed by with malicious eyes, and I also saw the druid with yellow beard and braided beard. What I saw more was the forest elves who were enslaved and forced to work in a state of hunger and cold. They are prisoners of war. 】

[Ant-Man said to me: Stranger, our Ant-Man tribe has brought our unique and efficient production model here. We will lead all tribes to form a prosperous Shadow Forest ecosystem. Now, you should look around alone. As long as you and my tribe have common interests, you are welcome. 】

[I visited the mausoleum alone. The enslaved forest elves all cast numb glances at me. Until, I was stopped by a forest elf. 】

[The forest elf said to me: Stranger, have you seen the forest elf outside? How are they? Are you preparing for a counterattack? 】

[I said: They are still hard at work cultivating, harvesting, and creating traditional art. 】

[I also told the forest elves that I get along well with their family, and showed the gifts I got from them-elven carving knives and light flowers. 】

[The forest elf sighed: Although the forest elf clan has a long history, its glory is no longer there. What can we do if we cultivate more land? Aren't they about to be plundered? 】

[I remained silent. 】

[Hope ignited in the eyes of the forest elf and he said to me: Stranger, I have a request. Although we are enslaved here, we also study the secret of Druidry-mind control in our spare time. The druids used a fungus to invest in various groups. This will affect the judgment of these groups, increase their violent impulses, and control them to rob. After all, we forest elves have a deeper cultural heritage, and we have developed a more peaceful way of communication, which is a new technology. Stranger, I ask you to help me pass on this technology to my tribe outside. 】

[Should I agree to it? 】

[I have two choices. 】

[One, agree to it, and I will get a copy of the latest fungal technology and how to use it, and the forest elves will give me the spell to control the lantern flower. 】

[Two, if I don’t agree to it, I will get nothing. 】

"Promise to it!"

[The forest elf said to me: Stranger, you have made a correct and wise choice. Your choice will also bring you generous rewards. We forest elves have a long life. In addition to the two rewards mentioned above, I will also give you two years of life. 】

This time it’s finally not Krypton’s fate!

Zhao Chuanxin was overjoyed!

Who would disdain a long life?

He really wanted to try to bargain with the forest elves to get more life. But then I thought about it, and everything that happened in the diary seemed to have a cause and effect relationship. Any tampering will lead to unpredictable consequences. So he immediately extinguished his greedy flames.

Cause and effect, cause and effect?

Did the chatty forest elf lure me to this mausoleum on purpose?

If it is, I have underestimated it too much. This guy is very scheming.

Sitting on the threshold, Zhao Chuanxin immediately felt the relief coming from his body, just like the advertisement: his legs no longer hurt, his waist is no longer sore, and he can climb several floors in one breath.

Then, a flower suddenly appeared in his right hand. This flower has translucent petals and is shaped like a lotus, but much smaller. The stamen is strange and looks like a small light bulb. The stems are straight and have short roots below.

Dendrobium flowers can stay out of the soil for long periods of time.

Because it stores enough nutrients and water in its stems. ;

And Zhao Chuanxin's left hand...

Hey, the little puppy was playing beside him while he was reading the diary, and kept licking his palms. Maybe it was because I had just distributed the sweets to the children, but there was still a little sweetness left in my palms, and the rice was licked with joy.

The reward given by the forest elf, the new fungal technology, appeared on my left hand and was licked away by the little puppy!

I haven’t even seen what it looks like!

Assi...
