chapter 400 part 2
Tang Zheng sneered inwardly. It was truly a course of action that fit the other's personality.
If it were Demiurge or Albedo, they probably wouldn't have let such a situation occur.
"Now that I've unexpectedly mastered this method, the plan to deal with that mysterious True Dragon Lord might need to be altered slightly."
A thoughtful look flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes as he silently re-evaluated the key points of his previous plan. "Even with a World-Class Item in hand, I can't let my guard down."
"In any case, safety and secrecy are the top priorities."
Next, the Green Leaf Witch reported on the events that had occurred in the Hills Region during this period.
The Twin Witches and the others had already won over many of the remaining Demi-human Races. Kōkosh of the Seven-Colored Scales might be making some minor moves, but he was no longer a cause for concern.
Within the heroic domain of the entire Hills Region, only the Beast General Hector Weiss and Kōkosh of the Seven-Colored Scales remained.
"Lord Captain."
"Hm?"
"Um, I was thinking... I'd like to go back to the Village for a bit," Enri said in a small voice, a hint of unease on her sun-tanned, wheat-colored cheeks.
Tang Zheng was momentarily speechless, then he reached out and ruffled Enri's hair. "Give my regards to the Village Chief."
"Ah."
Enri stared at Tang Zheng's hand, letting out a surprised sound.
*Thump!*
A pang of pain shot through Enri's forehead, and she raised her hand to cover the spot where he had flicked her.
"Really, now. You're a member of my team, not a hired laborer. If you want to go back to Carne Village, you can go back whenever you want."
Tang Zheng retracted his arm and spoke with a lighthearted laugh.
"But, everyone... Miss Cui Ye..."
Enri first glanced at the Green Leaf Witch, then stammered.
She had always felt that everyone in Free Will was an incredible person. Not to mention her Lord Captain and Miss Cui Ye, even her formerly weak self was working hard to help the demi-humans of the Hills Region and clear out the undead.
They had even come into contact with the high-and-mighty nobles of the Slane Theocracy and the Holy Kingdom. Everyone in the adventurer squad was doing things she could never have imagined before.
The Green Leaf Witch seemed to guess what Enri was thinking and said softly, "Don't overthink it, Enri. Although there's still a lot to do in the Hills Region, it's not something that can be finished in a short time."
"Just go back and rest easy. It's not like you're not coming back, right?"
The Green Leaf Witch knew Enri had a sensitive personality.
"Mm-hmm."
Enri nodded vigorously, a brilliant smile on her face as she replied, "Thank you, Miss Cui Ye."
"Cuiye and I both have things to do, so we can't accompany you back," Tang Zheng said.
"That's alright, Lord Captain."
"I can go back by myself. I'm very strong now, you know," Enri said quickly, deliberately raising her arm a little.
Seeing this scene, Tang Zheng found it a little amusing, but he was very clear about Enri's current class build.
[Farmer], [Hero-Believer], [Corporal], [Commander].
Her classes probably need some adjustments!
"It might be a bit inappropriate to say this now."
Tang Zheng suddenly put on a serious expression and said, "However, there is one thing I need you to do on your way back."
"Lord Captain, I will definitely get it done," Enri straightened her spine and responded quickly.
"Relax, it's not complicated. A clan of dark dwarves lives in the Hills Region, and they are skilled at forging weaponry."
"You'll select some samples to take with you and deliver them to Leinas, whom we met in the Kingdom."
As Tang Zheng spoke, his gaze shifted to Lizardman Kuru Xue at the side.
"This time, Crusch Lulu will go back with you."
"There's a rumor that a magical beast riot has broken out in the Great Forest of Tob. With her there, she can assist the Adventurer's Guild."
Hearing that there was trouble in the Great Forest of Tob, Enri grew nervous, not even questioning where Tang Zheng's information came from.
Lizardman Kuru Xue's beast-like eyes clearly brightened, and she looked at Tang Zheng, full of gratitude.
She knew.
Following Enri was not only to protect her but also to allow her to return to the Great Wetland. Even if she couldn't interact with her own kind, just knowing that they were surviving without problems would be enough to satisfy her long-held worries and wishes!
"Don't worry, the Adventurer's Guild in E-Rantel is dealing with it with all their might. It's enough to ensure Carne Village's safety," Tang Zheng said softly upon seeing Enri's worry.
"Oh, right, have Xiao Hei go back with you as well. After you reach E-Rantel, pay a visit to 'Rigrit's Workshop' for me."
"Look for a potion master named Nfirea Bale. Tell him that the Hills Region has an abundance of herbs."
"Ask him if he's interested in coming to the Abelion Hills. We, Free Will, can provide plenty of herbs and support."
The three dominators of the Great Forest of Tob were all dead, causing the magical beasts living within to fall into turmoil that would not subside anytime soon.
Acquiring herbs from the forest would become a major problem.
Of course, Tang Zheng had long ago arranged for Blue Rose and Evileye to leak the news to the Adventurer's Guild, so there were no casualties.
Currently, Blue Rose was stationed there, so there was no need to worry about the situation. It was just that the border of the Great Forest of Tob was too long and required a large number of adventurers.
"That's great."
Nfirea Bale?
As Enri breathed a sigh of relief, she heard that familiar name and froze for a moment.
The next day, Enri, Lizardman Kuru Xue, and the ghoul dog set off.
Tang Zheng was quite expectant, wondering if Nfirea Bale would accept the invitation to come to the Abelion Hills. Moreover, aside from these overt tasks, he had Enri carry some weapon samples.
It wasn't because he wanted to sell weaponry, but to indirectly inform the various factions and Renner that Free Will had already achieved a certain degree of control over the entire Hills Region.
—Blaze Moon.
The 17th.
Dark Fortress.
This was a mountain range called Gaharadehe. A deep, primeval forest covered the land, and for anyone who entered the mist-shrouded jungle, only getting lost and death awaited.
Beneath this mountain range lay a deposit of ore called obsidian that contained a small amount of magic power. And even deeper below this vein of ore was a vast, deep cave.
On the walls of the pitch-black cave, it was covered in rough marks from claws and digging. A huge cave of this size, nearly two hundred meters in diameter, had actually been dug out by the brute force of some kind of creature.
