Chapter 120 Discovery of Enemies
Chapter 120 Discovery of Enemies
Sure enough, there was something hidden.
Seeing that she was not happy but had a sullen face, Ivan knew that there was something hidden and the situation did not seem good.
Besides, this person has some issues.
At this moment, Heidi raised her head, and their eyes met. Ivan subconsciously forced out a faint smile.
"I hope you're not thinking of anything bad." Heidi suppressed her inner uneasiness and said calmly, "You did a good job this time. After we finish our research, these magic stones will be your reward."
Ivan said: "Of course, after all, I found it by myself. I think no one can deny this, right?"
Heidi glanced at him and could naturally hear the thorn in his words, but since he had indeed made considerable contributions, she was too lazy to argue with him.
Seeing the two bickering like enemies, Gina on the side chuckled and winked at Ivan, telling him to stop while he was ahead.
"One more thing. The hunting team didn't return to the city last night."
"Don't worry about Walban and the others. Our focus now is studying these runes."
After hearing what Heidi said, the others naturally had no objection, as they were not familiar with the hunting team.
The Enchanting Group's research on runes is indeed a serious matter. They believe that as long as they can unlock the runes in front of them, the problems inside and outside the Swamp Forest City will be solved.
However, without the corresponding spells and activation methods, it is often difficult to crack a rune magic array.
Heidi asked the people above to pass down a box, and carefully removed the low-grade magic stones around the disc and put them into the box. The lines on the upper side of the disc were revealed. Unlike the lines on the surrounding stone piers, these lines looked like naturally generated natural patterns, not carved with a talisman pen.
Hosole asked casually, "What kind of material is this disc made of? Why does it look so familiar?"
Heidi replied: "Raw ore that has not yet been completely transformed into magic stone."
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, especially Huo Suole and Gina who had just returned from Shi Town. It was hard for them not to make associations.
The two of them glanced at Heidi.
Heidi didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say. She just hoped that everything would not involve the Kanda Magic Stone Mine, otherwise the problem would become complicated.
Among the four, only Ivan did not know about the existence of the magic stone mine, so he did not feel much.
As a few people concentrated on analyzing the runes, the basement became silent and no one outside the basement dared to disturb them.
As members of the enchantment team, the four of them have certain attainments in runes and enchantments.
The one with the highest attainments is of course Heidi, who comes from a wizard family. She can see that the runes in front of her are related to spiritual power, involve the use of magic stones, and can also collect a certain aura of resentment.
Time passes unconsciously.
As evening approached, the four of them withdrew their gaze from the disc and the stone pier, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.
Such a strange and complex rune magic array, without any relevant information, it is impossible for them to crack it in a short time. It will take a formal wizard to come.
Ivan suggested: "How about trying to activate it?"
If the rune magic array is in an activated state, he will definitely gain something by using the light of wisdom. This was proved last time on Lar Island.
Heidi rejected it, "Not appropriate. Activating it randomly can easily cause the rune to collapse, and may also cause unknown consequences, such as mental pollution."
"Do you have any other solution?"
"No, just take the things apart and take them back."
"And the stone pillar?"
"The runes on the disc are the key. The function of the stone pillar is to amplify and spread the influence of the rune magic array to most of the city." Although Heidi said this, they eventually took everything out of the basement, including the bulky stone pillar.
After dismantling the arrangements here, the enemy behind the scenes should no longer be able to control more people. The collapse of the city has been brought under control, leaving only the hidden and controlled residents.
Seeing that she was unwilling to activate the rune magic array, Ivan did not continue to mention the topic.
The four took the things back to the original house.
Ivan remembered something: "Someone sneaked in last night, two apprentices and four knights, they should be quite strong."
The three of them turned around and looked at him in surprise, then looked around the house and found no signs of a fight.
Ivan guessed what they were thinking and said in an unhappy tone, "What a coincidence. I was not there at the time. They came back empty-handed and left Swamp Forest City overnight. I don't know where they went after leaving the city."
"clever."
Gina gave him a thumbs-up.
After a few seconds of pausing, Heidi said seriously: "Don't get me wrong, I, Heidi Lydia, don't have the habit of using my companions as bait."
Who knows?
Ivan doesn't mind assuming the worst of someone. He was attacked continuously as soon as the others left. It's hard to say that there was no consideration in this regard. After all, the other party disliked him before, and the word "companion" might not be applicable to him.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Heidi frowned and said nothing more. She always disdained to explain to others, unless that person was her younger brother Cam.
Long into the night, the hunting team still hadn't returned to the city. Heidi couldn't get in touch with them using the secret mark, which meant they were no longer nearby.
late at night.
A figure in an apprentice robe appeared at the foot of the wall of Swamp Forest City. Someone on the wall provided support, allowing the apprentice below to sneak into the city smoothly.
"Sure enough, the formation plate hidden in the manor has been discovered. It should have fallen into the hands of the apprentice in the Mona Ant Farm Hut." Alan came all the way to the south of the city and stopped near the manor. He activated his back hand and immediately realized the problem.
Since there was a problem with the formation board, the chess pieces placed nearby must have been damaged.
"Well, well, I'll let you go wild for a while, and we'll settle the score later." Alan muttered bitterly, then turned and left. The city was not safe at the moment, and there were more important things waiting for him outside the city.
At the same time, not long after Allen sneaked into Swamp Forest City, Ivan and his four companions also began their action.
An important control node was removed, and several people guessed that the person behind the scenes might sneak into the city to observe the situation, so they deployed many spies in the city, the main one being Ivan's Swift Wood Silkworm.
As expected, a swift wood silkworm hurried back with a message.
Ivan immediately called the others, and the four of them quickly left the residence and rushed towards the location of the person behind the scenes.
When the four of them were halfway through their run, another swift wood moth landed on Ivan.
"People went out of the city."
"Chase!"
It was rare to find the person behind the scenes, so Heidi would not give up easily. The four of them changed direction and chased outside the city.
Gina also sent out a small number of insects, but her insects were not very good at hiding. They were a kind of flying ants, small in size, and flame-like in color. They were obviously poisonous insects.
Along the way, Ivan kept collecting the Swift Wood Moths, and Gina realized that he also had an insect nest on his body. This junior brother was really not an ordinary person.
Looking at the swift wood moths flying back, Gina felt a little jealous. These insects were much faster than her own fire ants, and were good at hiding their breath. They were difficult to detect when they were not moving, which showed how extraordinary these insects were.
Under the guidance of Swiftwood Moth, the four of them chased closely and soon left the Swamp Forest City.
