It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 247 Prey
"Sevro?"

Xia Zhi blinked.

"Yes, he was the one who brought these... these tieflings to the woodland..."

The respondent used a strange tone and a subtle expression on his face, as if trying to convey some strange emotions.

However, at this moment, two tieflings happened to walk by not far away, so it was not shown.

But even so, these subtle emotions were captured.

"It sounds like you are a little dissatisfied?" The magician tilted his head slightly and asked with a curious and inquiring tone.

"how come……"

The elf watched the two tieflings walk away before continuing.

Although he did not admit it, his words revealed a sense of contempt and sarcasm.

"After all, the story of the famous Hell Knight who endured hardships and led his people on a long journey to escape death has inspired everyone in the forest!"

"Hell Knight?" Xia Zhi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, the name of that tiefling is the Knight of Hell. Doesn't it sound very impressive?" The elf's tone was full of sarcasm and disdain. "Even though he is just a stray dog."

however--

"Great, Hell Knight..."

The magician nodded in agreement.

The name sounds like the style of "Heaven Dancer" and it is symmetrical, which sounds very cool.

"..."

"..."

The person on the other side suddenly became speechless, and then turned and left without saying anything else.

Xia Zhi didn't take it seriously, as this situation was within his expectations. It was obvious that although Lin Di was generally able to maintain superficial harmony, he was definitely not completely without complaints.

Even though the archdruid had a high reputation and his decisions were approved by the majority of the forest dwellers, there would still inevitably be a few people who disagreed.

At most, it’s just difficult to say it openly.

That is to say, every sentence he uttered now, every word he spoke, carried with it an indescribable persuasiveness. It was not enough to reach the level of charm, but it was enough to make people open their hearts unconsciously.

That's why he asked such a casual question and someone answered his question and complained to him.

Under normal circumstances, it probably wouldn't show at all.

Looking casually at the tiefling with the name of Hell Knight, Xia Zhi pondered for a moment. He guessed that this Seflo was aware of the hidden undercurrent beneath the calm of the forest, so he was a little worried.

this is correct.

After all, tieflings are outsiders, and because of the devil bloodline inherited from their infernal ancestors, they are automatically at the bottom of the contempt chain...

If everything is safe and the years are peaceful, perhaps time can slowly wear away the grudges.

It’s a pity that there is no time.

Xia Zhi was not in a hurry to contact the other party. He just put him on the candidate list and prepared to observe him first.

The interior of the forest seemed to be divided into two parts again due to the arrival of the tieflings.

The natural grotto outside is a resting place for tieflings, and many people also do some business here.

The deeper areas inside are the living quarters of the druids.

This also gave him convenience in his actions.

Like a well-behaved outsider, he continued to wander around, visiting every merchant.

However, just like the half-orc merchants before, these merchants also run small businesses, and the goods they can provide are also quite standard.

——There is no magic.

——No magical equipment.

At most, there are one or two bottles of magic potions or something like that, which seems to be a little less rare.

Xia Zhi didn't care. He spent money to buy a few bottles, and then seemed to put them away, but actually threw them directly to Huifeng to analyze the ingredients.

The nano intelligent module is so easy to use that even if it is not expanded, it is equivalent to carrying a personal data terminal that is standard in the interstellar era.

The technical and computing power can surpass modern supercomputers by a huge margin.

While wandering around, he asked Gray Wind to scan everywhere, compiling the basic information of all people and things, and then archiving them all.

From the roads to the terrain, not only the woodland gate outside and the cave inside, but even the areas deeper inside have been scanned back and forth countless times by scanning technologies of various frequencies.

Even through the buildings and the ground, the light could still be seen through.

Thanks to the excellent algorithm, a three-dimensional view of the entire forest was constructed almost instantly, including how many passages it had, how many hidden areas and underground secret rooms it had...

The druids may not know these situations, but he has already mastered them completely.

The only thing worth noting is that in the very center of the woods, there exists a special energy field of unknown nature and purpose.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi still did not let Huifeng try a deep scan to forcibly analyze the model of the energy field.

After all, this is the woodland of Silvanus, the territory of the Father of Oak—

Although the church's power is limited here due to the remoteness of the country, the power of the gods may not be so limited.

So he also wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible.

At present, I seem to have some inexplicable home advantage, but the bigger advantage is that the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, and it is not revealed in the open.

As long as he is not truly exposed, he should be a non-existent person, whether to the world or to the gods. Such an advantage must be maintained, so it is better to stop while you are ahead.

After all, who knows whether that special energy field is the divine power of the Oak Father, or whether it will attract the attention of the gods.

In this way, the summer solstice went around and returned to where it started.

But the difference was that Aunt Ethel had already appeared under the empty shed.

………………

The old witch treated her wounds, but she suffered a great loss. She looked so gnashed-teethed and her face was grim.

Of course, under the cover of the brilliant illusion, on the surface it looks like——

Everyone just thought that it was a kind old woman who had suffered an unexpected disaster and was wiping tears because of pain and anger.

"…Do you need anything?"

The old witch suppressed her emotions and was trying hard to put on a friendly (she thought) smile, soliciting business from passers-by.

After all, no matter what, life must go on.

Let’s not talk about revenge or not, that is all in the future.

But I definitely can’t go back home for the time being, and I don’t know whether that hateful Zhuo Er will leave anything for me!
Because he had no idea that this was a flying scapegoat, nor did he know that Mingsala suddenly attacked him just to put the shit pot on his head -

To be honest, it is impossible for anyone to imagine it.

So the old witch naturally thought that the other party must be greedy and wanted to get something from her, so he attacked her so brazenly.

Otherwise, what else could be the reason for a drow from underground and a group of goblins who are notorious everywhere and creatures from the evil camp...

Could it be that these evil creatures suddenly discovered—

It turns out that I have always had the lofty ideal of serving the country and the people in my heart?
Because you can't bear to see people suffer, so you see injustice and draw your sword to help, and want to eradicate the evil witch?
This was unrealistic no matter how you looked at it, so of course the old hag would only think in conventional ways, believing that she was just like the dragons in the stories who were targeted because of the treasures they had accumulated.

Thinking back to her savings, the old witch felt so heartbroken that she almost bled.

But there was no other way, life still had to go on. If I could find that damned Zhuo Er and exact revenge on him later, and get his things back, that would be fine...

If that doesn't work, you'll have to start over.

Before that, the identity of "Aunt Ethel" in this woodland must be maintained.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm really fine. Don't worry..."

The old witch said with a smile on her face, "I've sent away another stupid guy who cared about me."

Her kind face, the forced smile while enduring pain, and the tragic sight of half of her face and eyes wrapped in bandages, inevitably arouse sympathy and pity.

After all, everyone thought that Aunt Ethel was a very kind old lady.

I really shouldn't have encountered such a disaster.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

At this time, the old witch turned around and saw a young man standing in front of her stall.

"..."

"..."

The young man did not answer immediately, but frowned and looked at the old witch.

The shriveled face was covered with torn long hair, the pockmarked skin had scary moles and tumors, and the tips of the thin fingers had sharp claws that could easily cut through flesh.

I have to say, this is a bit too ugly.

It's said this thing comes from the Feywild? Is it some kind of fey creature?

For a moment, Xia Zhi found it a little hard to accept. After all, he only knew two kinds of fairies.

Vivian—and others.

The magician took a deep breath and let Grey Wind project onto his retina, mosaicing the ugly witch in front of him.

This is necessary to prevent yourself from losing control and squeezing the other person to death like a bug.

"Hello, do you have anything here?"

"It's all here. Take a look. Just give the old woman a few small copper coins and that's it..."

The old witch had no idea that her illusion had failed. It had no effect at all in the eyes of the "ordinary person" in front of her. She still grinned kindly with her bloody mouth wide open.

After casually browsing its goods, Xia Zhi frowned at the right time.

"What's the matter? Isn't there anyone suitable?" Aunt Ethel asked, observing her expression.

"nothing……"

The young man shook his head and seemed ready to leave without saying anything.

"Wait, you want something related to magic, right?" Aunt Ethel quickly stopped him.

She had just paid some attention to this young man and knew what he was looking for.

"That's right, but I really thought too much. There is no such thing in these remote places..."

The young man waved his hand and was about to leave.

"Wait, don't worry, I may have a little channel..."

The witch suddenly became delighted.

It felt that its luck had come and it found a good prey directly.
