The Deland Division, where Rommel, the director in a gorgeous gold robe, appears.

At this time, his expression was not very good-looking, because not long ago, he received a rather bad message. Although this news had little impact on the overall situation of the Southern Free Federation, it succeeded in spoiling his mood.

Rommel frowned slightly, pushed the door and walked into the office of Canon, the branch manager.

Cannon was sitting behind his desk in his office, as if he was holding something in his arms. The moment Rommel pushed the door in, a white light leaped out of his bosom and quickly disappeared into the darkness in the corner of the room.

Canon was startled at first, then quickly stood up, gave up his seat to Rommel, and asked with a slightly nervous expression, "Director Rommel, why are you here all of a sudden?"

Because of his mood, Rommel didn't ask Kanon what was in his arms just now, and said bluntly: "Something happened to the Horos branch." ”

"Horos?" Cannon was slightly stunned when he heard this, he knew something about Horos.

It was a remote branch of the Truth Society in the Southern Free Federation, which had never been noticed, and generally couldn't make any outstanding contributions, nor could it cause any trouble, so I don't know what happened this time.

"Is there any trouble with Horos?" asked Canon.

"It's not a problem, but it could be a harbinger of something. Rommel exclaimed, "In the area under the administration of Horos, there is an ancient forest. The first few explorations had found nothing wrong, but in the most recent exploration, an entire team had completely lost contact.

Although the strength of that squad is very weak, and there are no core members of the team, it is not something that will be eliminated casually. The loss of contact now clearly indicates that there are some unknown and dangerous changes in the forest. ”

"What about ......," Canon looked at Rommel, "what to do?"

"Follow the process. "There are so many things to deal with in the whole Southern Free Federation that it is impossible to devote all your energy to it because of a small thing." I've ordered the Horos branch to raise the danger level of that forest, and then send a stronger team to explore. After figuring out some basic facts, we will find a way to solve it thoroughly. ”

Canon nodded, unable to fault Rommel's approach, after all, that's how most accidents happen.

At this time, Rommel looked at Canon again and asked aloud: "By the way, how is the situation of your Teresan branch recently, don't be like Horos, there are also bad things happening." ”

"Nope. Canon quickly shook his head and replied, "The Deland branch has been in normal condition lately, and they are all moving according to the established plan. The progress that had been delayed by the arrival of the Ombudsman Chekaf had now completely caught up, and in some respects it was even exceeded. ”

"That's good. Rommel nodded.

Suddenly Canon thought of something, his eyes blinked, and he wanted to say again: "It's just ......"

"Just what?" Rommel asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's just that the number of points in circulation in the branch has changed recently, and the average amount exceeds the normal value. "Canon Road.

This is indeed a noteworthy thing, because the number of points in circulation reflects the status of the branch members to a certain extent. Moderate changes, although not too much fuss, still need to be careful.

"Find out what caused it?" Rommel asked.

"Got it. Kanon replied, "According to the results of the investigation, the main reason is that a peripheral member consumes a large amount of points to exchange for branch spell data. ”

"Periphery?" Rommel was slightly surprised, "who?"

"You know, Richard. "Canon Road.

"Is that Richard?" Rommel asked, meaning something.

"Yes, it's Richard. Canon nodded.

"It's kind of interesting. Rommel's eyes narrowed slightly, "He actually has so many points?"

"He has a lot of magic talent, and he has been providing relevant services to the branch, and he also helps the rest of the members to repair spell props in private, and the points in his hands are naturally not low. And according to your previous promise, the transformation of the crystal ball, as well as the reports he submitted for the rest of the times, gave it a lot of rewards.

All of this adds up to a rather exaggerated number. Suddenly, a large amount of consumption naturally caused fluctuations in the flow. "Canon Road.

"Do you know why he exchanged a lot of spell materials?" Rommel asked.

Kanon shook his head: "I haven't understood this, because the spell information he redeems is rather messy, and it doesn't seem to have any clear purpose." ”

"Oh well. Rommel didn't pay much attention, "Just wait and see." If the other party has any further action, report back to me. ”

"Yes. Canon nodded in response.

"Alright, I'll go around the rest of the branches. After Rommel finished speaking, he wasted no more time and got up and left.

Canon kept sending Rommel out the door and watching Rommel leave.

He walked back to his office, closed the door, let out a long breath, and looked into the darkness in the corner.

"Bang ......"

With a bang, a fluffy white rabbit jumped out of the darkness and into Canon's arms.

Kanon gently stroked the white rabbit as he walked back to the table and sat down, his eyes twinkling, "I shouldn't have been found just now, right? Hmm, I shouldn't have ...... Even if he found out, Director Rommel didn't seem to care, so it would be the best...... Well, the best. ”

Relieved, Canon sat down, rabbit in his arms, quill pen in hand, and began to review the papers.

"Rustling ......"

......

The other side.

Early in the morning.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Horos Division, the Silent Forest.

A team of seven wizards of the Truth Society walked into the forest species, including three core members and four peripheral members, and the strongest team leader was a second-level wizard at a high level.

Armed with a short staff, the group was on high alert, exploring the forest, as if every corner of the forest was hiding terrifying enemies.

Don't blame them for being so careful, you must know that the loss of contact with an entire exploration team before has caused a huge storm in the Horos Branch, and the people in the branch have already regarded the Silent Forest as an absolute murderous place, so it is impossible to be too careful.

The team leader, who has the high-level strength of a second-level wizard, is a tall bald head with a fierce expression, and at this time he is at the forefront of the way, ready to enter the battle at any time.

"Click......

Footsteps sounded, and the group walked forward, and after walking for several miles, suddenly there was a "rustling" sound from the grass on the side of the team, as if some creature had passed by.

"Be careful!"

The bald leader shouted, making the whole team feel like they were facing a big enemy, and two of them even directly activated the shield of the spell item.

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, nothing happened, and the group couldn't help but look at each other.

In the end, it was the bald leader who spoke up, pointed at a peripheral member, and ordered: "Dirk, check the situation." ”

"Yes. "The name was called to a one-eared wizard with a scar on his face and a hideous expression that looked more vicious than his bald head. Listening to the bald leader's words, he nodded, cast a petrified skin spell on himself, remained vigilant, and approached the grass that made a sound step by step.

Gently brushing aside the grass, the one-eared wizard named Dirk was stunned for a moment, and saw that there were no dangerous creatures inside, only ......

"Dirk, what did you find?" the companion couldn't help but ask as he looked at the one-eared wizard with a strange expression.

"Look. The one-eared wizard said, bent down, gently took out the existence in the grass, put it in the palm of his hand, and saw that it was a small pink hedgehog. I don't know what I ate, my stomach is bulging, my nose is pointy, my eyes are flickering, it's very cute.

The one-eared wizard's hideous expression disappeared, and he smiled, and said, "It's such a small point." ”

When everyone saw it, they breathed a sigh of relief and understood that it was a false alarm.

One of the wizards joked: "I thought it was something, it turned out to be a hedgehog, and it was so small." It's not enough to add to lunch like this, and it's gone. ”

The one-eared wizard glared at him: "If you dare to eat it, I will eat you first." That cute little hedgehog I had before is in need of a companion, and I'm going to bring it back. ”

"Whatever you want. The stared man shrugged.

"Then let me see if this hedgehog is male or female, I hope it is a female, just like the one I raised. The one-eared wizard said, gently picking up the little hedgehog and looking at the hedgehog's belly.

At this moment, the hedgehog's body shook, and a spike on his back flashed with purple light.

"Whew!"

The spikes shot out like darts, and barely had time to react before they shot the one-eared wizard in the eye and penetrated deeply.

The one-eared wizard was stunned, touched the pierced eye with his hand, and felt a large amount of blood before realizing what had happened. He opened his mouth to speak, but without uttering a word, he fell to the ground with a "poof", and the hedgehog he picked up also fell to the ground.
