"Who … are 'they'?"
Camilla didn't know how to answer Roddy's question. The 'Holy Assembly' would never divulge any information. Camilla had no reason to tell Roddy, a human she had just met, about the organization behind her …
But Roddy's outburst of hostility made her secretly startled. Camilla knew very well that the name "Naifei" had touched his bottom line. It made her feel that this young man's concern for Naifei was far beyond her imagination.
This strange feeling made her feel a little strange. Naifei had no father since she was a child. The only person who cared about her was her mother. Why would Roddy treat a child like this when he was not related to her?
If there was a chance to go back, she must ask Naifei. But …
Camilla hesitated for a moment when she saw Roddy staring at her. Then she suddenly said, "My team … is also looking for the 'Recharging Crystal'."
After saying this, Camilla realized that she had revealed a secret. She panicked. She had been abiding by the rules of the church for many years and knew that this was a "leak". If Speck caught her, she would definitely be dragged to trial … But in fact, she didn't think that she had done anything wrong. If everything was like what was written in the book, Speck and the others might unknowingly become the prey or tools of "Turing" and cause irreversible consequences!
"Got it." Roddy frowned. He had deduced many things from this simple sentence. But he was not interested in asking more questions. He waved his hand and ordered the team to advance into the inner city immediately.
The rudimentary camp was abandoned without hesitation. Many of the supplies were also thrown there. Camilla saw the situation and understood that the other party had made up his mind. She did not make things difficult for Rody and consciously followed the team. If she followed them, she might be able to help the 'Holy Assembly'. However, if she stayed there, it would be meaningless.
"Speed up!"
Sodelor urged the team to speed up and enter the inner city. The scouts at the back had already reported that they had heard the sound of hooves in the distance. This made Roddy almost certain of the identity of the other party. But entering the inner city now was not just to hide, but to use the most suitable terrain to fight.
Although Roddy's team had many people, if they fought with the powerful Belorme in the narrow streets, they would be asking for trouble. Therefore, with Elson's map, Roddy chose to rush into the inner city. He was prepared to use the base of the Pasha Magic Tower as a barrier to defend against the undead!
Although the inner city was dangerous, Roddy knew the safest route. So, he rushed to the front of the team, trying to compare the [Map Bar] in front of him to advance towards the Pasha Magic Tower as fast as possible.
The sound of hooves echoed in the streets of the inner city. Roddy tried hard to control the warhorse. When he looked up, he felt like there were ghosts flashing past the empty buildings. Along the way, Roddy had seen a lot, but Sodelor, Natha, and the others could not see them at all. So, he was too lazy to mention this "hallucinatory" feeling to others. But when he looked at Camilla, he found that she was also staring at the same corner, lost in thought.
Could she see it too?
This thought popped up in his mind, and then disappeared in a flash. With his "Environmental Sensitivity", Roddy could already hear the unique sound of hooves from the skeletal warhorse behind him. He immediately led the team to speed up again. In a battle of life and death, he had no time to think about Camilla.

"The seal on the Pasha Magic Tower is very strong. Human, just go and take a look. But I advise you not to do anything else."
The calm voice echoed in the deserted street. It was a High Elf who spoke. He wore a simple robe and walked casually in front. Speck and the other members of the Holy Assembly followed behind him.
"Of course. Thank you for leading us here, Mr. Stuart," Speck said politely to the High Elf in front of her.
Speck said politely to the High Elf in front of her. The High Elf did not seem to mind. After bringing them to the base of the Pasha Magic Tower, he pointed at the drawbridge-like entrance and said a few words like, "The restriction is dangerous." Then he turned and left without any intention of watching.
All High Elves seemed to be like this. Speck met no less than 30 or 40 High Elves along the way. Some were curious about her, some were disgusted, and some even came up to ask for her identity. However, they didn't have much hostility. They didn't even have their guard up. Clearly, they were very confident in the safety of this city. Speck asked for the reason, and the answer she got was, "Lord Cadgar never makes a mistake. We never worry about any crimes happening."
So Speck and the others easily found the complete set of "Principles of Making Charged Crystals" in the library. They also obtained a lot of charged crystals along the way.
The charged crystals that Roddy saw in Wagra's basement were all transparent because they had used up all their energy. However, the ones that really had energy were actually flashing with a faint blue light. At this time, almost all the Arcanists had a small piece in their hands. They were all curiously examining it, amazed by this man-made Magic Crystal.
Speck actually didn't let down her guard at all. She paid attention to the minute movements of each High Elf, trying to determine if they were trying to harm her team. But until now, she hadn't found any so-called "flaws" — and the books she found in the library made her trust these High Elves a little more.
"Rest for a while after crossing that drawbridge. Prepare to break the seal later."
The next task was to obtain the most important "Energy Charging Device." This smooth journey put him in a good mood. When he led the team across the narrow drawbridge, he looked to both sides and joked, "This is much more useful than the moat …"
The base of the Pasha Magic Tower was completely a circular fortress. Towering walls surrounded it, and a deep ravine more than 30 feet deep protected it. The only way in was through the two drawbridges in the north and south. It could be said to be heavily guarded.
Obviously, this was the last line of defense in the entire city center, and also the core area of Elsen City. According to the level of High Elf civilization 700 years ago, this should be the place where Arcanist Cadgar usually worked or studied arcane magic.
Thinking that they would be able to successfully complete the task soon, the Arcanists were full of enthusiasm. One by one, they began to recover their magic power after crossing the drawbridge. Not long after, Speck led the team to the entrance of the Pasha Magic Tower. The black door covered in runes flashed with red light, clearly containing a lot of magic power.
"Breaking the seal" was not easy, but the "Holy Assembly" naturally would not be unprepared. Speck took out an old scroll, stood in front of the door, and directly released a high-level spell. After the raging waves of elements, the red runes on the door gradually dimmed.
Speck cast a few spells, and after confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, she finally pushed the door open with a gentle breeze. The luxurious front hall, more than 10 feet high, came into view. The runes representing high-level arcane magic formed abstract pictures on the wall. For these Arcanists of the "post-Ker Elf" era, the Magic Tower in front of them was indescribably sacred to them.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Speck continued to survey carefully, and slowly led the team into the Magic Tower.
And a few hundred feet away, the High Elf who had just led them here stood in the shadows, looking at the opened door of the Magic Tower, the corner of his mouth slowly curling up …
"Ha … a group of ignorant mixed-bloods."
