Chapter 598: Infiltration
Chapter 598: Infiltration
Wind Demon held back the others, telling them not to come in without urgent matters.
However, before her command could be carried out, she was interrupted by a henchman who suddenly barged in.
“Lord Wind Demon, there’s a Headless Horseman outside who killed Brent as soon as he came up!”
Brent was a first-ranked sorcerer who was patrolling at the bottom of the cliff.
The strength was also the best among the First Order.
“Headless Horseman?” The wind demon frowned at first, then remembered someone, “Brando?”
The others hadn’t seen Brandu and couldn’t give Wind Demon an accurate answer.
Wind Demon looked down at what he had just gotten his hands on and was a bit shocked as to why Brando had suddenly appeared and killed without saying a word.
Could it be that he had discovered something?
In any case, she wouldn’t go out to see Blandu now.
Wind Demon turned her head sideways and asked the maid, “How many other second-ranked sorcerers are here now?”
The maid usually helped Wind Demon with her chores, so she knew this very well, “Before it was four, then after you, my lord, left with three second-ranked wizards, only Lord Barron came back alone. However, Lord Barron didn’t know where he went later. Now, there is only one second-order sorcerer in the entire Bluff, Lord Johnny.”
“How come there are so few?” The wind demon frowned.
Although second-order sorcerers were not common in the Lordless Lands either, there had once been nine second-order sorcerers here in Wind Demon at the same time. At that time, it was also the time when Wind Demon’s power was at its strongest.
Only later, in the struggle with the Firefly Lord, the second-order sorcerers gradually suffered casualty losses, and later there were only six left.
Of those six, two went out.
As well as during the attack on the Pure Spirit Sorcerer’s Tower a few days ago, there was an accidental loss of two people, and Barron who was nowhere to be found.
Resulting in the fact that there was only one second-ranked sorcerer here in Wind Demon now!
It was only then that Wind Demon had a sense of realization that the forces under her command were only this much left.
However, the more urgent it was, the more it deepened Wind Demon’s determination to build a good magic pool as soon as possible!
It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have a few second-order sorcerers under her command, as long as she herself is strong enough, one person can also become a big force!
Thinking of this, Wind Demon made a decision, “Let Johnny bring more people, no matter what means he uses, kill Brando and bring his body back.”
The maid said worriedly, “Lord Johnny’s fighting ability is not outstanding among second-order sorcerers ……”
She actually hoped that Lord Wind Demon would do it himself, and at that time, no matter what kind of knights he had, they would all be turned into Lord Wind Demon’s collection.
Looking at the maid’s hopeful eyes, Wind Demon knew what she was thinking.
But how could she possibly go out at this time?
“Do I need to personally go out every time an enemy appears in Broken Cliff? Then what’s the use of me raising you guys?”
After Wind Demon finished speaking, she didn’t even give the other few people a chance to persuade her and directly flung her hands away.
The remaining few people looked at each other in dismay, thinking that the situation outside was urgent, they had no choice but to go and find Johnny, the only second-ranked sorcerer who was still at the Broken Cliff.
Not to mention how this group of people found Johnny helplessly, let’s just say Wind Demon, at this time, she had already walked out from her room and hurriedly rushed to the deeper part of the cave.
When she passed through the long passage and came to a place where there was no one else at all, she suddenly stopped and casually struck a mark with her personal psychic properties on the wall at her side.
A magical scene appeared, and another passageway appeared where the wall had just been.
After the wind demon walked into the passageway, the entrance to the passageway turned into a gray wall again.
Shortly after the wind demon went in, a small silver-colored butterfly that no one noticed flew to the vicinity of the passageway in a wobbly manner.
“Strange, why does it feel like the wind demon’s fluctuations have disappeared?” Penny said suspiciously.
She didn’t dare to follow too close for fear of being discovered by the wind demon, so she kept her distance from the other party above thirty meters.
However, in such a winding and rugged cave in the mountains, there might be a corner every ten meters. Penny would not be able to see the wind demon if she stayed far away for concealment.
However, she was very good at tracking the wizard’s unique fluctuations in magic and spiritual power, so she wasn’t worried about losing them.
As a result, she was overjoyed when the wind demon suddenly lost its trail, and it was crucial that she didn’t know where the wind demon disappeared. Looking at the deeper and deeper valley tunnel, Penny was very depressed.
She had no choice but to turn to Saul for help.
Hearing Penny’s news, Saul immediately said to the old witch, “Brando really didn’t lure out the wind demon, she was worried that she couldn’t beat Brando, or that winning would be too much of an effort to reveal her cracks.”
The old witch sneered, “Looks like she is in a hurry now.”
“The more tense the situation is, the more urgently she will want to recover her strength. So now her sudden disappearance must be ……”
“Going to the Demon Storage Pool!” The old witch jumped up and down, “Go go go, hurry up! If we go late she’ll be back to the third rank!”
Sol immediately followed the old witch into action.
Although he wasn’t in that much of a hurry.
His Demon Storage Pool was built for promotion to the second rank, and even if the Wind Demon got her hands on it and made improvements, it would not be possible for her to immediately regain her strength.
It would take at least three days and three nights of soaking, as well as preparing all the more precious sorcery materials.
The two took advantage of Brando attracting the attention of the others to come inside the cliff.
Saul followed Penny’s hints, dodging all the warning sorcery spells and patrolling apprentices along the way, and with a lot of exhausting effort, he finally arrived at the place where the wind goblin’s divine power fluctuation had disappeared without any danger.
Looking at the long and deep passageway in front of him, Saul whispered to the old witch, “It should be a secret passage. Wait a moment, I’ll look for it.”
Sol squinted his eyes, and under the enchantment of the meditation method, he began to observe the brokenness in the passageway.
If this method didn’t work, he could also use the Eye of Banishment to observe the area where the power of this place converged.
However, before Saul could start his performance, he saw that the old hag had actually taken a stand in front of one of the walls.
“The entrance is here.”
Saul froze, “How did you know?”
The old hag smiled smugly, finally getting a chance to show off as well.
“I’m the one who once stole something from a wind demon! Don’t underestimate me!”
Watching Sol’s gaze immediately turn to one of anticipation, the old hag turned around smugly and thoughtfully struck a mark that didn’t go into the wall.
Then ……
There was no reaction.
The wall remained a wall.
The old hag was embarrassed, “Uh, maybe she changed her password. But this is definitely the passageway into the Wind Demon’s chamber!”
Seeing how certain the old hag was, Sol was ready to directly take out his Eye of Banishment to take a closer look.
The old hag on the side suddenly raised her hand and released another seal.
And this time, the wall disappeared, revealing the passage behind it.
The old hag lifted her foot and walked in almost the instant the passageway appeared.
Thor followed closely behind, keeping his gaze fixed on the old hag.
Doubts grew in his mind, “The old hag stole from the wind demon, it’s possible that she knows the way to the secret room. But the other party changed the markings, and she even managed to try it out?”
This newly appeared passageway was very narrow, and when Saul had just taken four or five steps inside, two arms suddenly stretched out from the soil, almost knocking down the somewhat distracted old hag.
