The content of the letter is as follows:
[Sir Richard, drastic changes have taken place in the Norman Secret Realm.
The night elves sent out the elite Demon Spider Knights. The members of the Demon Spider Knights had reached the level of top third-level wizard apprentices. After merging with the Demon Spiders, they had even reached the limit of third-level wizard apprentices.
In addition, they seemed to have some secret method that allowed them to gather together in the secret realm, so the second and third level wizard apprentices from the three major academies in the Norman secret realm suffered heavy casualties.
It is said that the passage leading to the exit of our secret realm is currently blocked by the Demon Spider Knights.
The three major academies are gathering the top third-level wizard apprentices to prepare to enter the Norman Secret Realm to fight against the Dark Night and rescue the apprentices who are performing tasks in the secret realm.
I understand that another disciple of Master Serles, Melo Norris, is also currently trapped in the Norman Secret Realm. I heard from Brett that she is your good friend.
Due to my limited ability, I can only inform you of the information I have learned in a timely manner. I hope you know it! ]
After Richard finished reading it, he was shocked!
How did Senior Meiluo get into the Norman Secret Realm?
I remember that when they parted at the school, the senior sister told him that she was escorting some supplies to the base of the Underdark. Could it be that for some reason, the senior sister entered the secret realm?
This is bad!
As for the Demon Spider Knight that Duan mentioned, Richard was not afraid.
Because of the great reputation of the Demon Spider Knights, Richard had heard his servant Fingart talk about it in detail when he was in the Grey Fern Wilderness.
The Demon Spider Knights are actually the guards of the Night Elves' Mistress. All of their official members have the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice. The most important thing is that every member has a companion demon spider.
In other words, every member of the Demon Spider Knights will possess the combined skills that Stephana currently possesses.
After merging with the human-faced demon spider, the demon spider knight has almost reached the limit of the strength of a third-level wizard apprentice. He is also well-equipped and good at team combat.
If Richard counts himself, Abomination, and Stephania, if he encounters a team of Demon Spider Knights with less than three people, he is confident that he can wipe them out directly.
If he encounters five or so Demon Spider Knights, he can barely remain undefeated.
However, if he were to encounter a team of more than ten Demon Spider Knights, Richard would have no choice but to flee.
Richard's frown startled the old baron, who immediately asked with concern, "Did something happen?"
"It's indeed a bit tricky, Father. I may have to leave the family immediately and go deal with it." In order to avoid worrying his father, Richard did not tell him the details.
The old baron nodded and said, "Remember to say goodbye to your mother and brother before you leave."
"Okay, father." Richard nodded.
Immediately, Richard began to pack his bags and informed Stephanie.
Half an hour later, Richard said goodbye to his family and Selena, put on his backpack, rode on the wildebeest, and headed towards the mud swamp with Stephanie.
On the way, Richard and Stephanie talked about what happened.
Stephanie was no stranger to Meiluo, she had met her before and knew that they had a close relationship.
However, after listening to Richard's story, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Richard and said, "Master, should we go back to the school to find out the situation first, and then go to the base, or go directly to the base?"
After thinking it over carefully, Richard decided not to return to the Ignis School, but to go directly to the bases of the three major academies in the Underdark.
"Let's go directly to the base. As for the situation in the secret realm, the wizard apprentices at the base should know it best. The most important thing is to save people like putting out a fire, so the sooner the better!"
"Yes, Master!"
So, the two of them rushed towards the stronghold!
——However
, Richard himself might not have expected that his choice of route would allow him to perfectly avoid a risk.
As early as three days ago, Gildarts, Joachim's mentor in the Ring of Noth, found the tracking mark of his disciple Joachim on a cliff thousands of miles away after a difficult journey.
When he saw the scene in front of him, he almost vomited blood. He saw a peregrine falcon with a substitute doll tied to its leg, incubating eggs.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the human, the peregrine falcon immediately spread its wings and looked at the other party vigilantly.
Gildarts had no idea at this moment that he had been tricked.
In fact, he had sensed something was wrong halfway through the journey. The tracking mark was moving too fast, almost tirelessly.
But he didn't think too much about it at the time and simply thought it was because of the other party's strong strength.
So, he hurried and chased after her with great effort.
As a result
, the furious Gildarts killed the Peregrine Falcon instantly with a powerful death ray. After calming down a little, Gildarts picked up the substitute doll and looked at it carefully.
After a moment, Gildarts murmured, "It seems to be the production method of Gurus Academy? This is troublesome. However, no matter who plays tricks on me, they will pay the price!"
Before leaving, Gildarts remembered the broken low-level magical weapon he gave to Joachim - the Mutated Summoning Staff. Since he had used it before, it had his own aura on it, so he immediately used the witchcraft aura tracking technique to locate it.
However, the location could not be located after two consecutive attempts.
Fortunately, Richard was cautious and used cleansing water to completely wipe out all the aura on the mutated summoning staff, otherwise
Gildarts would have been numb all of a sudden.
After thinking about it, Gildarts, who was at a loss, decided to return to the Ring of Noth first.
After returning to the Ring of Noth, Gildarts found his good friend, a formal wizard who was proficient in prophecy.
Finally, when the wizard handed him Richard's portrait, Gildarts looked incredulous.
Of course he still remembered the face he saw in his disciple Jenna's mind half a year ago.
But he didn't expect that Joachim would also die at the hands of this wizard apprentice who should only be a first-level wizard.
This surprised him greatly, and at the same time he was extremely confused.
So, after he got to know Richard's relevant information, he asked several of his disciples to notify and investigate Richard's whereabouts.
He planned to capture Richard alive himself after finding out his whereabouts.
He wanted to see what secrets Richard had that could allow a first-level wizard apprentice to improve to the level of being able to kill a senior third-level wizard apprentice like Joachim within a year.
As for the wartime clauses of the three major academies, things like mutual assistance, in Gildarts' eyes, they were nothing.
As long as the personal interests are great enough.
It's just that you need to keep a low profile on your actions and not let others know about it.
——Two
days ago.
In the Norman Secret Realm, there is a daily supplies supply point not far from the exit of the secret realm.
This daily material supply point is set up in the secret realm to facilitate the daily supply of materials for second- and third-level wizard apprentices who are collecting resources in the secret realm or performing other tasks.
There are two daily material supply points in the entire Norman Secret Realm, one of which is deeper in the secret realm to facilitate apprentices who are carrying out tasks deep in the secret realm.
The other place is this one, which is not far from the exit of the secret realm and is suitable for replenishment for second-level wizards and weaker third-level apprentices.
Under normal circumstances, the material escort mission that Meiluo accepted only required her to escort the materials to the three major academy strongholds outside the Norman Secret Realm.
However, on that day, due to the shortage of manpower in the stronghold, they received a temporary order to deliver the supplies directly to the supply point in the secret territory.
Considering that this was the request of the person in charge of the stronghold, an official wizard, there was no need for him to offend him easily. Secondly, although this daily material supply point was in the secret realm, it was not far from the exit and had never been attacked by the night elves.
Therefore, the third-level wizard apprentice who led Meiluo's team considered it carefully and believed that there should be no problem with the safety of this daily material supply point, so he agreed.
But after arriving at the resource point in the secret realm and completing the mission, the third-level wizard apprentice who led the team on the return journey happened to meet several friends who came to the secret realm to complete the mission.
So, six or seven people decided to light a bonfire beside the trail, take a break and chat.
But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened!
"Whoosh!"
Meiluo was smiling and listening to everyone chatting just now.
At this moment, a large pool of white mixture of brain matter and blood was splashed on the beautiful face.
This made her stunned on the spot, unable to react for a moment!
When Meiluo turned her head slightly, she saw that the female apprentice who had just sat next to her and was chatting with someone had been pierced through the head by a black arrow.
Because the arrow was so powerful and heavy, half of the female apprentice's skull was shot off and her brains splattered everywhere.
Immediately, the captain of their task force, the third-level wizard apprentice, immediately shouted: "Enemy attack!"
At the same time, he instantly cast a Wind Swiftness to avoid the enemy's first wave of attacks.
But almost at the same time, he was covered by two white spider webs with a diameter of several meters, one in front and one behind.
Just as he instantly put up a dark element shield to barely block the spider web and the two sharp arrows shot at him, a night elf wearing exquisite knight armor rushed towards him.
But he was also restrained by the white spider web and was confined to the spot. The next second, a sharp blade shining with a cold light emerged from his chest.
The captain was stabbed through the heart by the night elf's sword!
When they saw their strongest captain being killed, Meiluo and her companions panicked and were completely unable to organize an effective resistance.
There were not many night elves on the opposite side, only five of them, but the aura of each of them was extremely strong, and in Meiluo's perception, it seemed that they were no less powerful than their captain.
As soon as the two sides engaged in the battle, they collapsed at the first blow. After another third-level wizard apprentice was killed, Meiluo and the others either took acceleration potions or cast swift witchcraft, and immediately ran for their lives in different directions.
The directions chosen by the remaining people to escape were either towards the daily supply point or towards the exit of the Norman Secret Realm.
And at that moment, Meiluo seemed to have a flash of inspiration in her mind.
She thought that since she was attacked by the night elves so close to the exit of the secret realm, it didn't make sense that the other party would not make any backup plans to allow her to leave the secret realm easily.
So, Meiluo gritted her teeth and decided to go against the trend and run towards the depths of the Norman secret realm alone, which was different from the direction chosen by others.
This made the night elf who was chasing her stunned for a moment. Since Meiluo's speed had not slowed down after drinking the Wind Grace potion, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with her in a short time, and he had more important tasks.
So, to Meiluo who was running towards the depths of the secret realm, she said angrily: "I'll let you live a little longer, but not for more than a few days!"
So he temporarily gave up the chase and turned to rush towards the exit.
A male wizard apprentice in the same team as Meiluo managed to run back to the daily supply point.
The scene before him shocked him. Half an hour ago, there were dozens of meters of resource points where apprentices from various academies gathered, but now it was a river of blood and the ground was littered with broken arms and bodies. Humans accounted for the majority, and night elves were a very small minority.
Obviously, this place was attacked by the night elves.
Moreover, judging from the corpses left behind by the night elves, the attire of several night elves was exactly the same, and their armor was not the leather armor that we usually see, but knight armor with exquisite patterns.
There was also a conspicuous corpse of a huge demon spider at the scene. It seemed that the wizard apprentice suddenly realized something and muttered, "It's the Demon Spider Knights! A large number of Demon Spider Knights!"
"ah!!!"
The second-level wizard apprentice, who had just figured out the other party's origins, let out a heart-wrenching scream, then slowly lowered his head to look at his chest, only to see a black arrow piercing his heart.
In the end, he fell to the ground unwillingly!
But he was obviously not the only wizard apprentice who guessed the other party's origin.
Therefore, although only a few wizard apprentices escaped from the entire resource supply point in the end, the entire stronghold outside the secret realm was in an uproar in an instant.
Since the Norman Secret Realm restricts the entry of official wizards, the highest combat power that can enter is only a third-level wizard apprentice.
Therefore, the official wizard of the stronghold immediately began to organize the remaining twenty third-level wizard apprentices in the stronghold to enter the Norman Secret Realm.
However, since once you enter the Norman Secret Realm, you will be automatically dispersed and teleported away by the power of the secret realm, it is still difficult to resist the small group of Demon Spider Knights. Only after luckily organizing a few people can you resist one or two.
However, any wizard apprentice teams with more than five people from the three major academies would be pursued by the Demon Spider Knights and would still suffer heavy casualties.
So, after receiving the information feedback yesterday.
The information was immediately reported to higher authorities, and this was also the source of Duan's information.
——At
this time, Meiluo was alone and exhausted, hiding in the center of the Norman Secret Realm where monsters were rampant.
She encountered night elves and powerful monsters from time to time, and the few potions and alchemical bombs she had prepared were almost used up.
She doesn't know how long she can hold on!
But when she thought of the figure in her mind, she felt that she had to do everything she could to hold on.
She believed that if the other party knew that she was trapped, he would definitely come to rescue her.
But. She was conflicted!
She wanted him to come, but she didn't want him to take risks!
Because the enemy this time is too strong.
