"This is the place!" Blour and Sally arrived outside the small courtyard. There were still some large footprints and scorch marks left on the ground. The gate of the courtyard had already been shattered, and there were still some residual magic waves and scorching heat in the air, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had just taken place here.
Both Blour and Sally wore cautious expressions. They didn't know if there were more powerful demons in the mercenary squad. Furthermore, judging from the traces left behind, the demons who had just fought were most likely no less powerful than them. They didn't know if they were friends or foes, so they had to be extra careful.
The two of them slowly approached the gate of the courtyard with their wands tightly gripped in preparation to unleash magic at a moment's notice.
"Whoosh!"
Blour cast an illumination spell into the courtyard, and a white ball of light exploded in the air, illuminating the entire courtyard.
"Hmm? What's this?! "
Blour and Sally were already preparing to spring into action, but they were immediately rooted to the spot at the sight of the burlap sacks strewn all over the courtyard. All of the burlap sacks had clearly been filled with items, leaving behind charred carcasses that had been left behind in the aftermath of the battle.
"Why does this feel so familiar?" Sally's brows furrowed as she thought to herself in confusion. The battle here had just ended, but aside from these sacks, there was nothing else left.
"It's demons and orcs! These guys should all be members of the mercenary squad, but they've all been knocked unconscious. Who did this? "Blour untied a few of the gunny sacks with furrowed brows.
"Tie them up first, then find another place to hide. They shouldn't have gone too far, and the captured elves haven't been found yet." Brandli arrived with the Gray Temple members, and he was panting slightly. As a magic caster, his constitution was still a little weak.
"There's a sound coming from over there!" Sally listened for a while before pointing in the direction of a corner of the courtyard.
"It's a cellar! Those elves are most likely locked up down there; let's go down there and take a look! " Blour rushed over to find that there was a passageway in the corner that led underground. There were still traces of scorch marks on the walls, and a scorching aura lingered in the air. Without any hesitation, he jumped down and quickly made his way down the passageway.
Sally looked at Blour's departing figure with a complex expression. She also jumped down and quickly followed after him.
"Leave a few people up there to keep watch. The rest of you, follow me down. We can't let a single Demon or Orc go." Brandli said as he jumped down into the passageway with his wand in his hand, and a cautious expression appeared on his face as he made his way down.
…
The demons and beastmen in the underground cellar had all been taken care of. Amy put away the Ice Soul Lotus floating in the air, and the snowflakes suddenly stopped falling. The freezing temperatures gradually rose, and with the help of the lava demons' flames, the frozen elves quickly regained their senses.
The elves stared blankly at the fallen demons and orcs as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"You're all free now." Amy stepped forward and looked at the elves with certainty.
This sentence was like a clap of thunder, and all of the elves' eyes widened. Their hearts, which had been silent for a long time, began to beat faster. Their blood flowed faster through their veins, and their emotions exploded. A burst of joyous cheers erupted from the cellar.
Some elves wept tears of joy, while others embraced one another. After enduring countless torments, this day had finally come. They didn't think that they would be freed one day.
However, most of them were staring intently at Amy with gratitude, reverence, and even … fanaticism in their eyes!
"This sentence … Back then, Princess Irina always said this sentence when she saved us! However, we haven't heard from her for over three years. Is someone finally going to save us now? This little girl is a prodigy! "An elderly elf looked at Amy with an intense light in his eyes.
Even though she was still very young, she was definitely a super prodigy for being able to cast such powerful magic at her age. If she really was willing to save these wandering elves, then it wouldn't take long for her to become as powerful as Princess Irina had been all those years ago.
The scene of Amy using her magic to freeze everyone was simply too shocking. Many of the elves were clearly aware of this, so they were all looking at Amy with anticipation in their eyes.
"Amy … You're so awesome!" Anna, who was standing in the corner, looked at Amy with her eyes wide open. They were both children, so why was she so outstanding?
A smile also appeared on her little face as she looked at the elves who had regained their freedom. She murmured to herself, "If Grandpa knew about this, he would definitely be very happy, right?"
Meg silently stowed away the brick in his hand. As a powerful weapon that could be switched between three battle modes, its edges could deal 1.5 times the damage, and its corners could deal 2 times the critical strike rate. The brick was one of the most essential weapons for traveling and home defense. Furthermore, it could be obtained at any time, and it had a wide range of uses, so it had a unique status in the world.
At the same time, due to its small size, its attack speed was greatly enhanced, and it could also be hurled, making up for its inability to attack from medium to long distances.
Even with the advent of the electronic age, the brick's status still hadn't declined. It could often be used as a substitute for bags, which fully demonstrated its versatility.
In any case, Meg had already proven that the brick he had purchased from the system for a copper coin was still very useful.
After using the brick, a smile appeared on Meg's face as he looked at Amy, who was being revered by all of the elves.
If he wanted to be recognized as a half-elf, then the entire elven race had to acknowledge him first. It was clearly unrealistic to change the pedantic elves in The Wind Forest. However, for these elves who were roaming the Norland Continent and were in danger of being hunted down, anyone who could protect them, even if they were only a half-elf, would be worshipped by them with fervent zeal.
This was the new blueprint that Meg had just unfurled today. If these elves could return to the Wind Forest with dignity one day, or if they could return to the elven race in the form of a counterattack, then perhaps their attitude could change the entire elven race's attitude.
That was very important. Of course, Amy's happiness was even more important.
Amy was indeed very happy to receive all of the elves' gratitude and reverence as they looked at her with fervent zeal. She had never been praised and thanked by so many people before, and this was a heartfelt display of gratitude from so many elves.
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I only defeated the bad guys. Big Sister Anna and Grandpa told us to come and save you." Amy waved her little hands in a slightly embarrassed manner.
