"The road to the upper level is blocked by Lavender's people. No one is allowed to leave, including me... Miles, do you think we have been excluded?" Marco said with a frown.

"This is a matter of course. After all, we have a traitor here and the little girl was hurt. Ms. Erica and Ms. Diana did not fall out on the spot because it was for Miss Mihail's sake. And...

That goddess..." Miles also asked very irritably: "Has that goddess not shown up yet?"

"They all live in the same tent. I guess He is treating the little girl. What I am most worried about now is that the goddess will be angry with us..." Marco said worriedly.

"Is that little girl seriously injured? I haven't seen any obvious scars on her body before?" Miles asked in confusion.

"I have asked people around there before. It is said that something seemed wrong before Dante kidnapped her. The little thief seemed to say that she might have been poisoned." Marco said with a gloomy face.

"Poisoned?!" Miles stood up in surprise.

"I'm not sure whether it's true or not, but my two cooks have been released by Lavender's people. Ms. God's Chosen just asked them what happened and didn't make it difficult for them. It seems that this matter shouldn't be

They did it."

"It seems that our team has been riddled with infiltrations..."

Marco looked at Miles with some excitement, because he just said "we" instead of "you", which means that Miles will bear this part of the responsibility with him. But the reason for Marco's excitement is not the same.

He was not grateful but ashamed, so he stood up excitedly and grabbed Miles's collar.

"This is my responsibility! Not yours!"

"No! You are wrong!" Miles slapped Marco's hand away and said righteously: "This is the responsibility of our Principality of Michael! It is not your own!"

Marco sat back on the chair with a pale face, and Miles's expression was not much better. He walked around helplessly and then sat back helplessly.

"What's the worst outcome of this matter?" Marco asked weakly.

"The Chosen Ones and the people of Argasburg may sever their relationship with the Principality of Michael...and the elves of Merylgil..."

"Them? Why? This incident did not involve them."

"There are some things you don't know yet." Miles rubbed his temples and replied very distressedly: "That little girl named Ruby is not an ordinary human being..."

"Is it the child of the chosen lady?"

"No...but I guess she is almost like a child. Miss Michael told me that little Ruby is a natural elf living in the Selida Forest. She is probably the first one to transform into a human in hundreds of years."

Elf."

After listening to this, Marco suddenly felt dizzy and tinnitus, as if he had been hit in the head.

He doesn't know much about the elves, but legends about nature elves often appear on the human side. Although the nature elves and the elves are not the same race, they are not completely unrelated, and although the status of the former is lower

Some, but generally speaking, he is still a compatriot of the elves, not to mention a special existence that can be transformed into a human in legend.

Marco knows very well that the elves have always been famous for protecting their shortcomings. After any species related to them is destroyed by humans, they will take revenge at any cost, and even launch a war to destroy the country. This is not unprecedented in history.

It has appeared, and the small group of Meryl Gil has not taken the initiative to fight back after being bullied by humans for a long time. It is just because they think they are short of manpower and can only defend themselves. If it were Isheka, if this matter is handled

If not, I'm afraid that the elves' unicorn cavalry will overwhelm the entire principality within a year.

Fortunately, Meryl Gil's elves had all gone out to scout for the enemy when the incident happened. If they had known that the elf had been harmed by the knights here, they would have turned against the principality without hesitation. In other words, now

What gives Marco the biggest headache is not the two Chosen ladies, after all, they seem to be very sensible, but the people on Merylgil's side are the most troublesome. Although they usually look kind,

But when you get angry, you will definitely be cruel and ruthless, and you may end up dealing with old and new grudges on the spot.

But now this matter has become extremely bad, because there was an elf named Meryl Gil at the scene. Marco still remembers the way she looked at him and others, and there was a hint of trace on her beautiful face.

Cold murderous intent, even though there were so many people around me at that time, I still felt a chill on my back.

"Damn it, why did things become like this? Everyone was fine yesterday..." Marco hammered his leg armor angrily, and actually made a large groove in the iron plate of the leg armor.

.

And just when Miles was about to say something, suddenly a knight rushed into the camp with a face full of panic.

"What's going on?!" Marco asked loudly.

"Sir, the little thief came here with the elf lady. She said she had something to discuss with the two adults." After the knight finished speaking in a panic, he quickly stepped aside, and immediately behind him there were two people, one tall and one short.

A figure walked in from outside.

Liz, who came in first, glared at Marco expressionlessly, while Puffy, who came in with her, still had the same expression, but she was slightly kinder. Although it felt like she was hiding a knife in her smile, it was better than

Containing murderous intent is much stronger.

"Master Marco, I need to borrow some people from you." Liz walked directly in front of Marco and said without ceremony. It felt like it was not a discussion at all, but more like an order that must be executed.

.

Seeing the extremely rude person speaking directly to him, Marco couldn't feel any anger at all. He subconsciously looked at Miles, and the two nodded quietly and smiled. Marco was very

It was clear that Miles had the same idea as him at this moment. After all, judging from the tone of the other party, it seemed that the person who came was evil, but at least the other party did not completely exclude himself and others, which should be helpless good news.

"Please tell me." Marco said with a smile.

"Did you eat that thing?" Desmo looked at me in disbelief, but I didn't see worry in her expression, but pure surprise.

"... After eating it, I just tested it to see if it was poisonous, but... I'm still fine now?" I defended helplessly.

"Of course it will be fine. Spells are just like poison and have no effect on you." Desmo gently held my hand and asked me to sit down. Then he looked at me with strange eyes and said, "Although it won't work on you."

It’s harmless, but it’s still a dirty thing after all, and it might even upset your stomach, so don’t do it again in the future.”

"Dirty stuff? You've said this word before. What does it mean?"

"Hmm... A corrupted soul is just like a rotten body, filthy." Desmo reached out and touched my lower abdomen. After being silent for a while, he continued: "There are some corrupted souls attached to that snack.

Residues will invade the body as soon as they come into contact, and the spellcaster can use this feature to perform corresponding spells on the target. Although just eating the residue will not cause death, long-term erosion of the body will also make life miserable.

Death, but this is precisely outside the scope of the protective power."

After saying that, Desmo suddenly pressed her hand hard against my lower abdomen. Her palm emitted a soft halo, and then she extended her palm directly into my abdomen.

I didn't panic too much, because I knew Desmo was helping me. It was amazing to me that his hand reached into my stomach. My clothes were still in perfect condition, and everything inside and outside my stomach felt normal. The only thing was

I feel some itching in my abdomen, and to be honest, this feeling is really terrible. Although it doesn't hurt, it is just very uncomfortable.

Desmo stirred her hand in my belly for a long time before she stretched out her hand. And for some reason, her hand was obviously very clean but she made a shaking motion when she stretched it out, as if her hand was stained with dirt.

There seemed to be some liquid in it that made me feel uncomfortable.

"Okay, it's okay now. Remember in the future, don't eat randomly." Desmo's tone sounded quite tactful, as if he was comforting a child, which made me feel awkward, but I was still obedient.

nodded.

At this moment, Liz and Puffy entered the tent.

"Erica, Marco's place has been arranged, shall we take action next?" After Liz came in, she nodded to Desmo before walking up to me to talk. It seems that she is now somewhat used to talking to everyone.

It’s about dating a goddess.

"Wait a minute, don't worry." I motioned for the two of them to sit down quickly, and then Desmo conjured up two more cups and poured them both a cup of hot cocoa.

"How's it going?" Aurora also came over and sat down with a piece of potato chips in her mouth and asked.

"The knight's side is just a feint, just show off." I pointed at the corner of my mouth, indicating to Aurora that there was something on the corner of her mouth.

As a result, Aurora casually stuck out her tongue and licked it and ignored it. Then she unceremoniously picked up the cup in front of me and drank.

"What are you doing?" Desmo still smiled and poured a cup of hot cocoa for Aurora.

"It's nothing, we plan to catch mice." I reached out and took the cup of hot cocoa that Desmo was going to give to Aurora, and then drank a few sips before continuing: "We still need it now.

We are busy dealing with the underground cave. It is estimated that there will definitely be a few fierce battles after the team enters, so we really have no interest in playing cat and mouse games with those thieves. I just discussed it with Eve and simply decided to

You might as well catch them and throw them aside before setting off, and then deal with this little matter slowly after you get out of here."

"Oh, that's good. I thought you would get carried away by this incident and always think about the reward to vent your anger and forget the real problem at hand." Desmo once again stretched out his hand and conjured an exquisite snack out of thin air.

When it came to the table for us to taste, looking at the silver tray and the canapés cut open to reveal various indistinguishable fruit fillings, I knew that this was definitely not a product of the earth, and should be the temple of Desmo and the others.

things inside.

"I'm not that stupid, I can tell the difference..." I unceremoniously grabbed a small snack and stuffed it into my mouth. As expected, this snack tasted very strange from the inside to the outside. Anyway, I had searched all over it.

I can't find anything similar in all my memories.

"But where are you going to imprison them after you catch them?" Liz picked up a small snack and ate it without restraint, and also took a piece for the restless Puffy.

"Just find a cage and throw it away. Anyway, Eve and the others have brought so many steel cages..." I pointed outside casually while chewing sweet snacks. Although I just pointed in a random direction, Li

You know exactly what I mean. Because that direction is the Algarsburg camp, where a large steel cage is placed in a heavily guarded corner, and Dante and his two soldiers are locked inside.

.

Aurora does have a lot of that kind of cage, because it is a special cage they use to capture specimens, and Aurora once patted her barren chest and boasted unceremoniously that this kind of cage can be used as a double cage.

Even the foot flying dragon cannot be destroyed, because the metal material used in those cages is not ordinary steel, but a magical material called "demonized steel". When I first saw that kind of cage, I didn't feel it.

What? Because the weight of the cage is very light, I can easily lift a large cage more than 2 meters wide by myself. This made me almost think that it was an aluminum alloy, until I later used a 7.62×51mm cage.

When the bullet was tested against the iron plate provided by Aurora, I realized that I had underestimated the magic of this world again.

This kind of metal cage does not have any joint gaps. It is simply a cage made of several iron bars with a diameter of about 7cm. Yes, this thing can be changed. It is made by the magicians of Algasburg using some kind of

Use unique magic to manipulate these metals to weave them into cages of various sizes. When I was imprisoning Dante, I was lucky enough to see a magician weaving cages. The scene was so shocking to me, it was completely like science fiction.

The feeling of liquid metal that only appears in movies.
