Chapter 324 Deep Underground
Chapter 324 Deep Underground
Led by several people, Ivan walked into this somewhat mysterious academy. The interior of the academy was more like a tree fort or an arena. Various buildings were distributed in circles along the periphery, becoming shorter as they went inward, and their appearance was unique.
There weren't many apprentices and wizards on campus, and no one knew where they had been sent.
Ivan looked around with interest.
"Please come this way, Elder Marichatton."
"Ok."
Before he could take a closer look, he was taken to a large hall not far from the entrance.
It seems very unwelcome.
Ivan immediately understood. He thought of Dean Wakin's words. Some people suspected that the Ancient Tree Spine had discovered some treasure in the Gunther Rift Valley. Now it seems that it is quite credible.
"Wizard Adolf, Wizard Light, I hope to purchase a batch of Pantie roots from your academy. The price is negotiable." In view of the other party's attitude, he chose to get straight to the point.
"No problem." The two deans looked at each other, and Wright agreed. After a two-second pause, he changed the subject: "However, our academy does not have many Pantie roots, so we can only sell thirty."
"As far as I know, you have already terminated the transaction with Rank Chamber of Commerce." Ivan frowned slightly. This number did not satisfy him.
"We have to do something, sorry we can't tell you." Wright didn't plan to say more, and then asked, "Does Wizard Marichatton have anything else to say?"
"No more." Ivan replied glumly.
Afterwards, the two parties exchanged magic stones in one hand and the young Pan Iron Root in the other, with the price being similar to that of the Rank Chamber of Commerce, and the transaction was successfully completed.
Under the vigilant gazes of several people, Ivan and Jenny hurriedly walked out of the tree fort.
Looking at the figure that was about to disappear, Tim felt a little embarrassed. After all, the other party had helped the academy's fleet. The dean's attitude of keeping people at a distance was somewhat disgusting.
Unfortunately, he couldn't get a word in at all.
"The college is in a turbulent time right now, and we can't tolerate any complications." Wright seemed to see what he was thinking and explained casually.
"Yes, there is a group of beasts causing chaos over there, constantly attacking the pass. It may affect the academy at any time. We really have no time to entertain outside guests. We can only say that he came at the wrong time." Adolf agreed.
"I understand, it's just a pity. This gentleman is a person worth making friends with." Tim said regretfully.
In his opinion, once he had established a friendship with Lord Marichatton, it would be equivalent to getting close to the Enchanting Guild, which would provide him with many conveniences in the East Capital in the future. However, after what happened today, the other party would definitely not give him any face in the future.
"Okay, I, Ancient Tree Spine, don't need to make friends with anyone." Wright waved his hand and walked away.
Adolf didn't care much about it. The Spine of the Ancient Tree had the heritage of the Spine of the Ancient Tree. When the time came, it would surely soar into the sky. There was no need to care too much about the disturbances in the outside world.
In response, Tim could only smile bitterly, thinking that these deans' ideas were really biased.
……
On the other side, Ivan rode a four-winged king ant and flew away from the ridge of the ancient tree, flew away from the Gunther Rift Valley, and slowly stopped at a steep cliff.
"Jenny, these Pantie roots are all given to you." He took out the Pantie roots that were received in the space ring and pushed them in front of the person next to him.
"The quality is average and the quantity is far from enough." Jenny waved her hand and took Pan Tiegen into her sleeve, and no one knew where she hid it on her body.
"Whatever you want." Ivan asked himself if he had done his best.
Originally, after listening to Solomon's evaluation in the past, he had a certain favorable impression of the Ancient Tree Ridge Academy.
Now that the other party has adopted this attitude, he has no other way to obtain more Pantie roots. He can only release the restraint on Jenny and let Jenny explore on her own.
As for the secret hidden in the spine of the ancient tree, Solomon must know it. It would be of little use if outsiders knew it.
"Yeah, it should have been done long ago." Hearing this, Jenny smiled.
"Go ahead, go ahead. Unless it is necessary, do not harm the lives of the wizards from the Ancient Tree Ridge Academy." Seeing that she was eager to try, Ivan gave her an instruction and left Jenny behind.
Ivan couldn't be more confident about her infiltration ability, and there was no need for him to explain the rest, as Jenny understood it all.
After Ivan walked away, Jenny stared at the ancient tree mountain with a playful smile.
"Wizard Ivan was so kind to give me the magic stone, but you don't want it. Don't blame me for taking it without asking. You guys wanted to hide it, but I just wanted to find out what's hidden in the ground." Jenny was not happy about what happened just now.
The other party was ungrateful and dared not give face to Wizard Ivan, so she naturally didn't need to show any mercy. In a word, it all depended on one's own ability. If one was incompetent and couldn't see the situation clearly, he deserved to be wronged.
The next second, Jenny turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the cliff, approaching the Ancient Tree Mountain again in a different way.
All abilities have their levels of quality, and her 'Power of the Earth' is undoubtedly superior in quality, allowing her to blend into the surrounding rock and soil with almost no difference.
Nearing the Ancient Tree Mountain, the Human-Faced Sword Chrysanthemum was unaware of her arrival.
To be on the safe side, Jenny didn't go through the front door, but went around to the other side of the Ancient Tree Hill.
"No, there's something wrong with the depth underground." When she was about to pass through the protective formation, Jenny's eyes flashed, and she found something strange by sensing the other Pan Tiegen:
"There must be something fishy going on. There should be additional passages deep underground. There are many wizards with Pantiegen there."
The protective magic formation of the entire academy was quite thick, so it naturally took some effort for her to sneak into it. Now that she had found other passages, she simply escaped deeper underground.
Wherever the snake-like roots pass, the rocks and soil on all sides automatically make way for a path.
After a while, the roots emerged from the rocks and soil, and turned into a graceful figure in a bright yellow dress.
"Is this the secret of the Ancient Tree's Spine?"
It was pitch black all around, with only sporadic faint light sources shining, but it did not hinder Jenny's vision. This was clearly a cave, much larger than the Dodd Magic Stone Mine.
There are many rocks around, and the vegetation is sparse, mostly mushrooms and mosses.
It is not difficult to find that there are traces of battle in the cave, more than one place.
"Interesting, the particle concentration in such a desolate place is higher than outside. No wonder those wizards don't have to go out--" Jenny sensed the surroundings with great interest. She found that the caves were connected to each other, and the area could be described as very wide.
In her careful perception, this place seemed to be a secret little world hidden underground.
At this time, there was a slight noise coming from a distance, and Jenny once again hid in the rocks and soil, hiding underground without moving.
After a few breaths, four wizards walked by slowly, moving to one side with a clear purpose.
They had no idea of the people hiding and walked out of the cave, turning many corners, passing through several checkpoints, and finally arrived at the Ancient Tree Ridge campus.
"Deacon Dolly, we're leaving first."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone."
The four men had just returned from a mission, and were all very tired. After completing their mission, they separated.
No one knew that someone had followed him and sneaked into the campus.
When Jenny arrived at the campus, she did not continue to follow the four people. Instead, she followed her perception of Pan Tiegen and, after some effort, arrived at a secret material vault.
In the secret vault, the roots of Pan Tie were placed together. She counted them carefully and found that there were more than 500 of them, which meant that the treasure was rich.
This brought a bright smile to Jenny's face.
"There are quite a few of medium to high quality ones. I'll go take a look underground first and come back to get some." Thinking that Wizard Ivan had just left, Jenny was not in a hurry to take the Pan Tiegen away. It would be hers sooner or later anyway.
After a while, she followed the same path she came from and dived back into the cave again.
After wandering around, Jenny found her way to another campsite on the Ancient Tree Ridge.
In front of the camp is a carefully arranged defensive pass, which is like an underground city wall, connecting the roof at the top and the ground at the bottom.
There are densely packed runes engraved on the pass barriers, and the protective layer is even more powerful than that on the campus. The murderous aura can be clearly sensed from a distance.
It is worthy of such attention from the Ancient Tree Spine. There is no doubt that this place must be hiding the greatest secret of the Ancient Tree Spine.
