Cleaning up the ruins of the castle does not have any technical content, all it needs is the cost of time and manpower, both of which are abundant in the exile camp.

However, there is a lot of ruins in the valley, and manpower is needed everywhere. Even though El and Laurana are curious about the secrets in the ruins, this is not the first problem to be solved for the exiles.What's more, Gao Wen, a guy who is indistinguishable from friend and foe, came to poach the wall, and his favorability was directly written to a negative value, so it was inevitable that he would be ripped off.

The final agreement was that Ackford donated a batch of "replacement armaments" to the exiles free of charge on behalf of the Silver Ingot, and the amount was tripled compared to the original verbal agreement.Although in the long run, getting Laurana's verbal promise on the alchemy and quenching technology is sure to make a steady profit, but as far as this business is concerned, he has already lost everything.

As for the exchange of interests between Ackford and Gao Wen in private, that is an internal issue of the Truth Society. El and Laurana are not interested in this, nor are they happy about it, because they will also pay a lot of money cost.A senior silver-ranked powerhouse like General Hank must never measure its value with mere property, let alone the fifty night watchman elite soldiers who left with him.

Frankly speaking, with Laurana's wisdom and eloquence, it may not be impossible for General Hank to stay, and it will not be difficult to fully absorb him and the remnants of the Night Watchman into El's hunting corps in time.But El feels that everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced.

Because he is one of the leaders of the exiles, he is even more pessimistic about the future of this group.He couldn't go against his conscience and say that if he stayed here, there would be a way out. In fact, if it wasn't for Tiana's existence, most people wouldn't be able to live to this day.

Although General Hank chose to leave, most of the night watchman fighters stayed. Since these fighters stayed, it meant that they decided to completely abandon their past identities.From a certain point of view, these freed fighters are the most valuable assets.After losing the support of faith in his heart, El could fully absorb these fighters into his army.

Although the damage to the castle looks horrible, it won't take long to clear a road if you don't take the occupancy as a prerequisite.El mobilized [-] armored shield guards—the combat effectiveness of these Southern Army soldiers was nothing to look forward to, and the only advantage was hard work.

It took them a morning to roughly clean up the broken walls of the castle, but they ran into trouble in the passage leading to the ground.The entrance of the underground passage is not difficult to find, but it has been completely sealed by the collapsed sand and stones, and even deliberate traces of man-made can be seen.Based on the remaining traces, Laurana judged that Franco's surrender troops must have used powerful alchemy bombs.

"Now we know why the top became like that... They detonated an alchemy bomb here that was strong enough to cause a small earthquake, completely sealed off this passage, and even shattered half of the castle - Mr. Franco The alchemist next to him must be a lunatic."

Laurana caressed the scorched black marks on the wall, and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes: "If the underground problem has been solved, they don't need to block it at all. If they want to cover up some truth, it's too heavy a hand. Even if he gains control of the castle, it would take a lot of manpower to dig it out by himself..."

"I think... Maybe their thinking is a little different from normal people." El's eyes glowed with a blue light, and he swept around. When he lowered his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone back down, below." El waved his hand to signal the others to back up, then took a deep breath, tensed his muscles suddenly, and stomped heavily on the ground.

The full-strength blow of the silver-ranked powerhouse made the entire basement tremble, but to El's surprise, his kick that was strong enough to shatter rocks left only a shallow hole on the ground. footprint.

"I don't think your brute force may be more powerful than that alchemy bomb that is close at hand." Gawain who stood aside said with a sneer.

"This is a spiral downward passage. The ground under my feet is not real...and even the ground would not be so solid." El ignored Gawain's cynicism, turned his head and said to Laurana in a deep voice.

"It's a bit weird." Laurana nodded, squatted down and got close to El's feet, squinted her eyes and carefully observed the marks he made, and said in an uncertain tone: "...better than 'turning mud into stone' Higher-level magic can only be done by senior silver-level magicians at least. Mr. Franco’s subordinates are really talented. It’s a pity that I don’t know much about earth-type magic. Let me think about it, maybe I can use corruption Try the potion..."

"If it's a magical effect..." Gawain frowned, opened the ancient book in his hand, raised his hand and pressed it on the ground, a light flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Dispel!"

There was a loud bang, and the ground carrying everyone instantly fell apart and fell apart.Al only had time to grab Laurana in his arms before he fell down involuntarily.In the next second, he touched the ground below, but because they were not prepared, the two of them rolled several times along the sloping steps in embarrassment.Although Yiel's current physique is not enough to hurt his muscles and bones, he has also suffered four or five strains all over his body.

"What the hell are you, you son of a bitch, Gawain!" As soon as he got up from the ground, El saw a streak of blood on the forehead of the girl in his arms, and he was instantly furious.Although the young girl's strength has made a qualitative leap overnight, she still belongs to the category of spellcaster after all, and her delicate body cannot be compared with a rough-skinned and thick-skinned warrior like him.

"This was an accident..." Gao Wen, who also got up from the steps in a panic, patted the dust on his nun uniform, and said with a light cough.

Although he really wanted to say that if it weren't for the huge energy accumulated by El's kick, the floor after removing the magic enhancement would never be so fragile, but it is true that he did not think carefully.When he saw the blood on Laurana's forehead, his face was tangled up, but he still didn't retort.

"I'm fine, I just got bumped..." Laurana leaned against the corner, took out a clean handkerchief from her cuff to cover her forehead, and smiled at Gawain, "Mr. Gawain, since Franco deliberately blocked this If there is a passage, it means that there must be valuable secrets inside, maybe it is what you want to find. According to our agreement, you can now take the first step."

"What I'm looking for doesn't make any sense to you. It just involves the privacy of the Truth Society. It would be great if you can avoid it for a while." Gawain nodded and shouted loudly towards the hole above: " Send down the box I brought over, be careful not to bump it!"

Ackford, who was staying behind, had been waiting with his men for a long time, but he escaped because of this.Soon, a guard lit the torch again, and descended from the rope carrying a heavy and huge wooden box.Gawain nodded slightly to El, and impatiently led the guards to the depths of the passage.

After the fire light completely disappeared from the downward-extending passage, El turned his head, and was surprised to see that the blood on Laurana's forehead had disappeared, and it was as clean as ever.

"Are you not injured?" El couldn't help asking.

"It's indeed knocked." Laurana covered her forehead and said with a giggle, "But isn't this very good? Although Mr. Gao Wen didn't say it, he has always been on guard against us in his heart. But this is also human. It's normal and understandable. Whether he believes it or not, for both of us, this is just an excuse to avoid it."

"Oh? Are you really not interested in the secrets hidden here?" El asked suspiciously. He himself knew nothing about this kind of mystery, so of course he wasn't interested, but this young lady didn't Aroused curiosity, he would not believe it even if he was killed.

"How could you not be interested? But we don't need to worry, Mr. Gao Wen... is destined to get nothing, and we will have a lot of time to squander in the future." Laurana said softly, showing her cute little tiger teeth.

"Why is he doomed to get nothing?" Al asked.

"As the future heir of the Wild Boar Family and the future owner of Thunder Fortress, Franco's subordinates can mobilize far beyond imagination. Just from the traces at the entrance of this passage, we can tell that there is at least one great alchemist and Senior silver magicians were involved. They blocked the passage, which meant that there was indeed a secret hidden inside, but they couldn't find it, or they couldn't do anything about it, so they put it on hold for the time being. Franco's lineup at the time was powerless I don’t think Mr. Gao Wen can get his wish by himself.”

"Maybe, as that guy said, that secret is indeed related to the Truth Society, and only he holds the key to obtaining that secret?" El imagined.

"Mr. Gao Wen's eyes don't look like he has a plan." Laurana unconsciously showed a standard commercial smile on her face, and said in a low voice: "The boxes carried by those guards are very heavy. , Mr. Gao Wen also specifically ordered to handle it with care. If I guessed correctly, it should be a special detection instrument... The Truth Society’s family background is really deep.”
