A deep tacit understanding had been formed between Sharlayan and Valeera, he chose to believe in Valeera without hesitation, and continued to use his full attention to appease the ancient war tree that began to shake slightly.

In a blink of an eye, Sharlayan saw the attacking person standing on the third floor. It was a female night elf in a bright yellow robe.

Or rather, the Highborne.

There is no difference between the Highborne and the Night Elves in appearance, the only difference is in their mastery of the arcane.

Due to the special architectural design of Elesalas, if Valeera wanted to go from the basement floor where the ancient war tree was located to the third floor, she needed to make a big circle around the stairs.

By the time Valeera went upstairs with the usual method, Sharlayan had already been smashed into a sieve by arcane missiles.

This time Valeera didn't take the usual way. She first threw a claw hook with a retractable chain to hook on the outer wall, and when the chain was recovered, she used her skill to swing herself upwards.

The female Highborne's second spell was ready, and she was going to continue firing warning shots at the recalcitrant Sharlayan.

But the sudden chill from behind made her subconsciously dissipate the spell in her hand, and activated the flashing technique to flash a short distance to the side.

"call!"

At the same time that the flash technique took effect, two daggers protruded from the shadows behind the Highborne, only a few tenths of a second away from hitting the target.

Valeera, who was swinging in mid-air with her chains before, had disappeared, and she suddenly appeared across the space near where the Highborne was originally standing.

Escaping at the last moment, the female upper elf stared at Valeera with icy eyes with lingering fear.

Once someone dared to threaten Sharlayan in front of Valeera, she would show this cold and emotionless look.

It was the same when facing Lena's sneak attack before. If Sharlayan hadn't stopped him in time, Lena and the fairy dragon would definitely not have survived.

"Shadow Step..."

Some of the highborne elves hurriedly added mana shield and magic armor to themselves.

"Who are you? Why did you invade Eldre'Thalas?"

"I should ask you this question, right?"

Valeera's blue eyes were as cold as ice, "Who are you? Why did you sneak attack us?"

The Highborne laughed angrily: "I am a resident of Eresalas and a member of the Syndra organization. My name is Maxus. It is my duty to expel the invaders!"

"Although your appearance is somewhat different from that of the night elves, the strong natural force in that man's hands cannot be concealed!"

"Pfft~"

A smoke bomb exploded on the spot, and Valeera's voice came out of the smoke.

"A night elf druid who knows how to use the power of nature? As long as you enter Eldre's Thalas, you are an invader? Do you blame us for not arranging guards in front of the gate?"

"Also... do you still have time to chat with me now?"

"what?"

McCus froze for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned his gaze to the square where the ancient war tree was located.

The ancient war tree had awakened from its dormant state, but it didn't attack anyone, it just stood there dumbfounded and motionless.

McCus' dynamic vision captured a figure rapidly approaching the third floor from the ground, it was another male intruder who was still trying to appease the ancient tree of war.

"Torsedrin's stinky boots! Aren't you a druid!"

After pacifying the ancient tree of war, Sharlayan immediately used the heroic leap to jump high.

When Maxus tried to knock him out of the air with a panicked face, Sarlayan reacted quickly and launched a charge first.

"Tsk! Difficult brat!"

At this time, it was too late to prepare the spell, and Maxus endured the discomfort of the recoil of the spell, and launched the flash spell for the second time in a short period of time, deliberately avoiding the direction where Valeera's smoke was, and headed towards the no-man's land on the right. flashing.

As Makus staggered to her feet, a dagger suddenly lay across her neck.

"Hmph! I knew you would dodge this way...don't move if you don't want to die, my dagger is smeared with poison."

Under the tacit cooperation of the two, Max was induced by the smoke bomb deliberately set by Valeera, and he ran headfirst into the ambush circle with a flash.

Reluctantly raising his hands high, Maxus shook his head with a bitter face.

"Sure enough, I've been stuck in the city for too long, and I'm seriously lacking in actual combat experience, so I'm being played around by you two juniors."

Syndra, who has always advocated stealth, has not participated in any war since the founding of Eresalas.

They have always positioned themselves as scholars, and they will not participate in battles unless it is absolutely necessary, but use arcane structures and ancient war trees to do it for them.

Sharlayan scanned Maxus' information with Eagle Eye, and he was surprised to find that this easy-to-handle Highborne was actually a level 41 elite mage.

Sharlayan: "...Level 41, that's it?"

[Uh~ level only represents energy strength, it cannot calculate combat experience. 】

[Shame! A level 41 mage was beaten by two juniors in their 20s and 30s. 】

【After all, he is a scholar, he has a way of talking on paper, but when it is his turn to operate, he is blinded. 】

[Brain: I understand! 】

[Body: No, you don't. 】

As usual, the captives were **** with ropes, and the professional Valeera began to interrogate the highborne who called herself Makus.

Sharlayan went to the balcony on the third floor to look down. He was very interested in the ancient war tree.

Sharlayan had previously established a connection with the ancient tree of war through natural energy, and he felt as if he could control this soulless war machine.

The Ancient War Tree is more than ten meters high, and its weight is astonishing. Just stepping on the ground with both feet can cause a small-scale earthquake.

Its bark is very hard, it should have been strengthened by Syndra through some kind of spell, and it has a certain resistance to physics and magic.

If he fought against the ancient tree of war head-on, Sharlayan really didn't have much confidence that he would win. Fortunately, the druid's natural appeasement would work.

"Wow~"

A breeze blew, and the tricolor feather pendant hanging from Sharlayan's neck fluttered in the wind.

McCus was absent-mindedly dealing with Valeera's interrogation, waiting for the other patrol companions to arrive.

Seeing the feathers on Sharlayan's chest, her pupils contracted visibly.

"...Let me just ask a question."

McCus glanced at Shandris with a strange look, and deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know Shandris Feather Moon?"

"Um?"

Valeera narrowed her eyes slightly: "Could it be..."

Turning her head to glance at the feather pendant on Sharlayan's chest, Valeera's eyes suddenly revealed a look of amazement.

"This is not the place to talk."

McCus saw some clues through the change in Valeera's eyes, and still kept a low tone and whispered: "Go to the passage leading to the library first, and I will take you to a secret place to discuss in detail."

"Hurry up! Get out before Torsedrin's guards arrive!"

…

Before walking into the narrow passage behind the ancient war tree, Sharlayan quietly planted a foreshadowing, even Valeera, who focused most of her attention on Max, didn't notice.

"Go three steps forward, turn left to face the wall, and tap the fourth purple long brick from the top, three short and five long."

Under the instruction of McCus, Valeera unlocked the mechanism, and a secret passage suddenly opened on the wall.

With his hands tied behind his back, Maxus walked in first, and Valeera and Salayan also hurriedly followed one after the other.

"Dah~"

After the three of them entered the tunnel ~lightnovelpub.net~ the entrance was automatically closed.

McCus, who led the way, walked around in this dark passage for about 5 minutes, and finally came to a quaint wooden gate.

"Here we are, this is our secret base."

Sarlayan and Valeera looked at each other. As a thief, Valeera first checked whether there was a mechanism on the door, and then Sarlayan, who was full of strength, pushed the door open forcibly.

McCus: "..."

The female high-borne elf stared at Sharlayan with the eyes of a monster: "It stands to reason that this door needs to be opened with the help of spells. With your strength...forget it, we will talk about it later."

"Go in, and remember to close the door."

"boom!"

When Sharlayan, who was the last to enter, closed the door heavily, this small secret room was surrounded by several highborne who were full of bookish temperament.

When they saw Maxus and the two strangers with their hands tied behind their backs, their first reaction was not that the enemy forced McCus to lead the way, but they whispered excitedly.

One of the male highborne elves with green hair pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked with a strange expression, "Macus, so you have this hobby?"

McCus: "???"
