Platinum Throne

"Damn it!" Finn yelled, he couldn't care about anything else, he just had time to roll over with his companions a few times, and hid under the big tree far away.And when Finn turned his head, he found that Caroline had squatted beside him at some point, holding a strange umbrella in his hand.After noticing Finn's gaze, Caroline turned her head and smiled at Finn: "You are here too, what a coincidence."

Finn looked at the giant tree in the distance and Norma wrapped in flames, and then turned to look at Caroline, his eyes full of disbelief.And Caroline made a sincere suggestion at this time: "Gentlemen, I have a small suggestion. While all the eyes are on my Joe now, we can take advantage of the chaos and do what we should do. What do you think?"

Havel let out a breath, and the commotion behind him has gradually become inaudible, but Havel can still recall the shocking scene.If Caroline hadn't called Javier away in time, I'm afraid he couldn't control himself at all, and could only stand there watching the battle between the two... monsters.While they were running, they left the box containing the elves somewhere.

"You've seen that before..." Caroline frowned.

"Ancient Tree of War... Guardian of the Grove." Finn whispered the name of the Treant.

Caroline raised her eyebrows, then looked at Javier.Javier was silent for a while, shaking his head.When Caroline heard this, she looked around and saw the visible frustration of the three members of the New Moon Mercenary Corps, so she clapped her hands to call their attention.

"Gentlemen, the Holy Empire is still waiting for your rescue. So don't be discouraged. We are not far from our destination, aren't we?" Caroline finished speaking, turning her attention to Javier, "Now the bait is gone. , you should have alternatives, right?"

Unknowingly, the rhythm and direction have been completely mastered by Caroline.

Javier paused, pursed his lips, and finally replied in a deep voice: "Yes. This was originally our place. Three months ago, we discovered the magic spar mine here, but we didn't expect it to be snatched by a group of orcs. Yes. Our miners have also become slaves of the other party." The magic power perception of elves is much higher than that of humans, and they are known as the darlings of elements, but their spellcasting is also affected by their physique, and there are many restrictions. They often only focus on one element. The demand is almost nonexistent.

Listening to what Javier said, Caroline glanced at Javier's expression, and did not stop him, but let him continue.

"This is the border between the Kingdom of Dawn and the Holy Empire, and the orcs will not be able to do it anyway. What's more, we also discovered that the elves are deliberately providing shelter for the orcs." Javier gritted his teeth and said, "We have no other way now , I can only, I can only go back."

Caroline nodded: "Go to the mine first."

"There are orcs there, very, very dangerous." Javier hesitated.

"Don't worry." Caroline nodded, her chin slightly raised.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that a huge fireball hit them. Under the wide eyes of several mercenaries, Caroline raised the black umbrella in her hand, lightly blocking the monster that was big enough to swallow them.Javier's face turned pale, and he knew that they had no choice.

So they moved on again.During this journey, perhaps Norma attracted too much attention, so that other elves or orcs could not care about them, and they walked smoothly.The sense of voyeurism that has always been with her like a shadow also disappeared.They didn't stop until the woods became sparse again, and man-made traces were visible in the distance.And Finn led a few of them, bent down furtively, hid in the grass, and looked at the man-made object not far away.

The buildings here are very rough, and they haven't been maintained for a long time, which is in line with Havel's statement.Caroline saw the orcs standing vigilantly on the periphery, wearing leather armor. They were staring at the entrance, and the bloodless humans were working unsteadily, and they were greeted by whips from time to time.And many of them have strong muscles and look like professionals.

"Here it is." Javier whispered.

Finn pressed down on the ground and closed his eyes. After a few minutes, he looked up at several people: "There is an elf's breath, but they are all hidden. If we want to get real evidence, we have to lure them out." .”

Javier nodded, he pondered for a moment, looked at Caroline: "We wait until night, then sneak in, just kill a few more orcs."

"Don't be so troublesome." Norma's voice suddenly sounded beside them.The phantom in the air distorted a few times, and Norma appeared. She looked at the obviously frightened people, and nodded to them, politely and distantly.

Caroline blinked, then laughed: "You came so fast, so fast and accurate."

"You have my mark on you." Norma bent down and gently lifted Caroline's blond hair, wrapping it around her fingers, "It's easy for me to find you... It's as conspicuous as a torch in the dark .”

"Ahem." Javier coughed involuntarily, seeing Norma looking at him, he couldn't help but cringe.A person who escaped from that kind of tall elf guard... How could such a person be just a magic apprentice?Javier couldn't help correcting his attitude towards Norma, and even his attitude seemed a lot more respectful.

"Your Excellency... may I ask that ancient tree...?"

"It's right behind." Norma replied calmly, "It should come soon."

"What... what!" If it wasn't because there were enemies around, Javier would have screamed, "You, you..." Javier even suspected that the two were sent by the enemy. Did they die here?

"Ah... a wonderful idea." Caroline just rolled her eyes and praised Norma, "What's wrong with the ancient war tree?"

"It's just a little out of control." Facing Caroline, whose IQ was one level higher, Norma's attitude became milder to the naked eye. She was praised by Caroline, and she even smiled. She put her hand on her stomach and said to Carlo Lin saluted, with reserved pride in her tone.

After doing this again and again, Javier seemed to have figured out something. He remained silent, looked at Norma and Caroline carefully, and moved a little outward.And Nock and Finn were almost in sync with him. They looked at each other and fell silent, silently reflecting on their previous attitude and whether they had offended these two people.

Norma squatted beside Caroline. She looked at the mine and whispered, "Orcs... this is not the style of orcs."

"It's not the style of an elf." Caroline leaned her body on Norma's shoulder, biting her ear affectionately.

Norma's ears moved, she turned her body slightly, and asked in a low and serious voice, "Did you find anything?"

Ah... It's this kind of teaching and educating tone again.Caroline rolled her eyes silently, and then said in a low voice: "Customs will change, language will change, and inner nature will change. There is only one reason for that."

Norma was silent for a long time, and slowly stood up, she gently rubbed the top of Caroline's head: "Here we come."

Following these words, the ground began to shake, and the frighteningly tall figure of the ancient tree reappeared in everyone's eyes.But this time, the voice from the ancient tree was completely different from the last time: "The unclean..."

The sound was deafening, like thunder flashing, rolling over everyone's ears.The slaves working in the mine raised their heads in amazement, and even the orcs who supervised them looked at the ancient tree in amazement.The current appearance of the ancient tree has changed from the original one. Its eyes are completely opened, and the inside is covered with blood, and many places on its body are scorched black, obviously it has been burned by the flames.And with a wave of its big hand, after the clattering sound, countless trees also fell down, making a roaring sound.

And Norma flashed to the mine. She raised her head slightly, looked at the ancient tree, and smiled half-smile: "I have ruined the forest, do I have to blame others?"

"Defiler!" The palm of the ancient tree was pressed down suddenly, and Norma's figure gradually distorted and appeared in midair again.This is the flash technique, which moves in a small range of space within the range visible to the mage's naked eyes. Because of the cooperation of the eyes, there is no need to worry about drilling into rocks or trees all at once. Of course, a certain amount of anticipation is required in battle , must be used with caution.

And Caroline found that her mentor seemed to be exceptionally talented in combat. Her predictive ability was top-notch, and the ancient tree couldn't beat her no matter what, which only made the behemoth even more manic. This did not meet her mentor's expectations. curriculum vitae.

The battle turned the area around the mine into an unrecognizable place, sending orcs and slaves fleeing in all directions.The last orc took out a horn. The horn was smooth and white, with intricate and exquisite patterns carved on it. It was not a product of an orc at first glance.

The orc rubbed the horn lightly and blew it.But strangely, the horn did not sound.

"The elf appeared." Finn said suddenly.

Following Finn's words, several slender and slender figures appeared around them. They all had slender ears and wore green clothes. They couldn't even be distinguished from the trees at first sight.The elves glanced at the orc. They didn't have much eyes or conversations with each other, they just looked at each other a few times.In the whistle of one of the elves, the other elves started to move, and they surrounded Norma's direction, vaguely forming a formation.

"Who are you?" cried one of the elves.

But Norma ignored him. In fact, she didn't have time to pay attention to him. The ancient tree raised its palms and pressed down on Norma. At the same time, huge vines stretched out from the ground and wrapped around Norma tightly.Norma's figure gradually distorted for a while, but soon returned to the original point, obviously restrained by some invisible force.

Caroline clenched her fists tightly. She heard rustling sounds behind her, but turned her head and saw Javier and others retreating.

"What are you going to do?" Caroline asked.

"We've already recorded it!" Javier said hurriedly, "It's the elves and the orcs together! We can go back, this time we came here, not to be against them at all! You have done such a thing, You should be responsible!" After speaking, they began to roar loudly, trying to attract the attention of the elves and orcs, and it seemed that they had made up their minds to abandon Caroline and Norma here.

Caroline shook her head, she opened her hand, and a cage appeared between her palms, trapping the three of them at once, then she stood up slowly, ignoring the surprised and angry expressions of the three of Javier, but turned her head Watching the fight between Norma and the elves.Norma obviously controlled herself, maybe because of the unstable magic power, or maybe because of other reasons, Norma did not show the terrifying power in Anos City.But this is enough to deal with, but it seems a little weak.

Caroline sighed and opened her mouth. There was no sound in her voice, but with the help of the magic power and the friction between the magic power and the air, her voice was enough to resound around.

"Dear demigod, you have seen enough of the drama, I have brought my sincerity, what about you?"
