On the 28th of May, Roddy and Akasha, who had been flying in the sky for a long time, finally began to descend.
Although it wasn't far, it was an indescribable journey for Akasha. But because she was blindfolded, she did not scream at the drop of nearly a thousand meters. After landing, her mind was filled with the feeling of her heartbeat when she was hugged by Roddy. She was no longer afraid of the journey.
The duck finally got the hang of it after landing a few times. Standing in the middle of the village, it didn't look as wretched as it did every time it landed. When it folded its wings, the elves who were startled by the noise poked their heads out from behind the trees. To Roddy's satisfaction, he also noticed the guards who were ready to fight with their daggers, as well as the Wood Elf hunters who were aiming at them from the watchtowers.
After taking off his leather coat, Rody turned around and saw Nata rushing over from a tree in the distance. Her movements seemed to show some excitement. However, when she arrived in front of Rody, her face returned to its usual ice-cold expression. Her eyes met Rody's for a moment and then slowly moved away. It was as if all her emotions were hidden behind her back.
"Is Sodelor here yet?"
Rody did not bother with pleasantries. When Nata nodded in affirmation, he waved his hand and walked forward without hesitation. "Go and call him and Henry over. I will wait for them at Brody's place."
"Akasha, follow me."
Under Rody's command, the duck flapped its wings and flew away. Rody looked at the Nokia's position in the [Magical Pet]'s control panel. The 'map' showed that the Nokia was one kilometer away from him.
Apparently, the snapping turtle was hunting in the river not far away. Roddy clicked on the "summon" option and walked towards the village chief's wooden hut.
What used to be an open space full of weeds was now a compacted piece of land. Looking around, Elsa's village was developing as prosperous as he remembered it to be. But now, the layout was bigger, more orderly, and the planning was more reasonable. In less than two years, the village was destined to become a large town, or even a small "city" in ten years.
There were countless business opportunities and wealth in the forest, enough to turn this place upside down. But all of this was a long-term investment. Right now, Roddy was only thinking about how to get the 320 recharged crystals as soon as possible.
Coming to the villa that was completely different from the tree hollow, Roddy knocked on the door and saw Brody waiting for him. Three minutes later, Sodelor, Henry, and Natha rushed over.
Sodelor, who had been on "vacation" for a long time, looked very good. His silver armor and longsword made him look like an idol in the eyes of many young girls. Henry, on the other hand, was even fatter than before. He did not wear the mercenary armor, but a luxurious robe. He looked exactly like a rich merchant.
Akasha's face was slightly pale. She still had some side effects from riding on a flying mount. Only Natha was still in her black and red leather armor, standing silently in the shadows.
After the battle in Briar Forest, his team had recovered from their exhaustion. But Roddy also discovered a shocking fact: Sodelor and Natha had actually advanced a level during this period of time!
This was not an easy task. Obviously, they were not on a simple "vacation". They had not stopped training.
Looking around, Roddy did not waste any more words. He directly unfolded the map he brought from Elsen City and explained the next task arrangements.
"I've already explained the reason for gathering everyone here. However, there is a possibility of meeting powerful creatures in every ruin, so we have to be ready for battle …"
"Akasha, you are very important in this battle. Do not leave the team for even a moment in the forest. This is my request."
"I … I understand."
"Sodelor, choose twenty soldiers with the strongest close-combat abilities to follow the team. Also, choose fifty sappers to follow behind."
"Yes."
The lord of Paer's reply was short and forceful. It was obvious that he was prepared.
"Henry, how are the preparations for the potions and scrolls coming along?"
"Everything is ready. My Lord, the magic scrolls and potions we bought from several mage towers in the southern part of the kingdom have just arrived. The medicinal ingredients we harvested have already been made into new potions at the Alchemist Guild. You might need some of them. "
"I'll wait and see." Roddy nodded and turned to the side. "Chief Brody, I need ten hunters to ensure the safety of the team."
"No problem." The old Village Chief nodded happily and asked, "Do you only need ten people?"
"Excellent Wood Elf Hunters can help us avoid many dangers. However, when it comes to combat, leave it to us humans."
His words made Brody nod inwardly. After all, there were not many wood elves in the first place. Ten hunters was not a small number.
After the plan was mostly settled, Roddy continued to make arrangements. "The Dukes Of Angmar will send a transport team here in two days. Once they find enough crystals, they will transport them to Elsen City immediately."
"During this time, Henry must ensure the order and logistics of Elsa Village."
"I promise to complete the mission!"
The fatty wanted to stand at attention, but his belly was very high. But he paused and asked, "But Lord Roddy, the transport route …"
"I've told Duke that all the villages and cities from here to Elsen are ready."
One and a half months seemed long, but the road from Elsa Village to Elsen City was not close. It would take at least five days even if they urged their horses at full speed. Roddy knew very well that even though his status and fame were rising rapidly, he still had to ask for help at times like this. His lack of resources was indeed a true reflection of his current situation.
He had been working hard so that he could finally get rid of this passive position at the national level.
"Gather at noon. Now go and get ready." As Rody spoke, he touched his wrist. In this era, the timekeeping method was primitive and there was a huge margin of error. 'Unified Time Movement' was something that was almost impossible to achieve. That was why he especially missed his Casio electronic watch …
But the others in the house were not transmigrators and had long been used to this way of timekeeping. They exchanged a few words and dispersed, leaving only the chief and Roddy in the house.
"How is the village recently?"
Roddy took a deep breath and asked casually as he sat on the wooden chair.
"Everything is being transformed according to your original plan. The currency has begun to circulate. There have been no casualties in the village this year. The hunters don't have to take the risk to hunt large animals. This usually means that the population can recover a little. "
Brody thought for a moment and continued, "Speaking of population … I carefully thought about the marriage you proposed last time and think it's very feasible. But after asking some of the young lads, I feel that it's still a little difficult to get them to volunteer. Can you … be an example?"
Roddy's expression froze. Natha's beautiful but cold face inexplicably appeared in his mind. Then he shook his head and replied with a bitter smile, "When I'm done with this, I'll immediately find a suitable candidate for you. I may not have the energy to care about anything else these days. "
"Well, business is more important. Oh yes … that old fellow from Zala Village came to the village again. He said he wanted to borrow the High Elves' books. I didn't agree and let him go."
"Is Ted right? Didn't he come here recently? "
Roddy was a little puzzled, but then he didn't think much of it. "Maybe he's just jealous of Erza Village's harvest."
Brody was just mentioning it casually and quickly forgot about the village chief's strange behavior. He continued, "I think your plan is going to be very far. There are some dangerous magical beasts in the forest. I have to tell you in advance that some of them are much more powerful than the Bone Armored Giant Elephants …"
He pointed to the vicinity of a target on the map and said in a low voice, "For example, here, in the area of Gra Falls, there is always a pack of Silver Mane Wolves …"
The old man began to talk about the dangerous magical beasts he had faced when he was young. However, he didn't know that at that moment … the village chief "Ted", who had always been alone after leaving Erza Village, had just walked past Gra Falls.
Dressed in a simple robe, his footsteps were always the same. The rugged dense forest seemed to be no different from normal ground in front of him. As he walked, he didn't even look at his feet. Instead, he looked straight ahead as if he wanted to see through the dense forest.
As he walked forward, many square stones gradually appeared on the ground. If one looked closely, they would find that these stones had traces of man-made carvings. However, "Ted" didn't stop to identify the direction. Instead, he picked a place and walked faster and faster.
There were more and more stones around him. There were even towering stone tablets. Clearly, "Ted" was walking precisely towards the center of a High Elves ruin …
However, after continuing to walk for dozens of meters, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His calm expression revealed a hint of disappointment.
He bent down and stretched out his hand to move a stone slab away. However, what was revealed in front of him were countless sparkling crystal shards.
It was obvious that this ruin had exploded. There weren't many things that he wanted left behind.
He sighed softly and turned to leave without any reluctance. Then he found himself surrounded by seven or eight Steel Mane Wolves the size of calves.
The situation seemed to have become extremely dangerous. However, as the faint purple halo flashed in his eyes, the sudden release of a shocking aura made the wolf pack tremble and whimper!
The Wolf King, which was about the size of a lion, whimpered like a stray dog and lay on the ground. It didn't even have the desire to escape!
Clack, clack.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the ruins. Ted didn't even look at the Wolf King who was only a few feet away from him. He walked straight to the next location.
