Deep in the Silent Forest, in front of the entrance to the secret realm.

According to the clues sent by Fei Rui, it didn't take too long for the two witches and the black cat to find the entrance to the secret realm, two crooked-looking ancient acacias. At the foot of the locust tree, there are also clusters of flowers on the left and right.

The two ancient locust trees are independent of their feet, the branches and leaves are entangled, the trunk seems to have been squeezed by someone, some are flattened, and they are put together to form a narrow gap, and as far as the eye can see, the inside is black and shady, as if it leads directly to the cave under the ground, and the end is not visible at a glance.

But Zheng Qing clearly knew that the DBH of the trunks of the two ancient locust trees was only about one meter, and the gaps between the trees should not be invisible at a glance. The only explanation is that the narrow gap is the target he is looking for this time, the entrance to the secret realm.

Standing in the glade in front of the entrance, the two men and a cat had their last pre-adventure meeting.

The moderator of the meeting was naturally the captain of this adventure team, Colmar.

"This is the first time we've explored this secret place, so we need to be extra careful. The witch was conservative and maintained her usual cautious style: "It's all about safety...... Under this premise, there are two tentative objectives. ”

"The first is to make sure that the clues we get are real and valid. This includes determining if the 'Gate of the Secret Realm' behind this tree hole is real, and if it is true, we also need to set up formations and construct enchantments to ensure that we can enter and exit smoothly and that the 'Gate of the Secret Realm' is not discovered by other wizards who happen to pass by. ”

As she spoke, she glanced up at the gap between the two ancient acacia trees, and raised her hand to pull the hood on her head.

"Second, if time permits, we can simply explore that secret realm and collect basic information about the secret realm. It includes the size of the territory, the number and state of animals and plants, the determination of the basic constants in the territory, and the determination of the main threat sources in the territory. ”

"With so much work, are you going to go your separate ways when you go in?" the black cat questioned.

Colmar shook her head.

"You don't necessarily need to complete all of the above explorations, but you can choose to complete some of them to lay the foundation for the next exploration. We can decide the details later. ”

"In the process of exploration, we must always maintain the formation of the 'Little Three Talents' and never act without permission. ”

"The whole operation is centered on me, I am in charge of the command, and you have the right to advise. ”

"Although it is only a secret realm, theoretically there will be no existence above the registered wizard level, but just in case, if a high-risk target appears, retreat is the first option. When retreating, I was in charge of the rear of the hall, and the 'faceless' went first. ”

The black cat nodded again and again. In adventures, there are often situations where plans do not keep up with changes, and in this case, a flexible but solid decision-making mechanism is very important. Colmar's arrangement can be described as old-fashioned.

At the end of this small meeting, Colmar also made a detailed arrangement for the adventure takeaways:

"This exploration does not take hunting as the first goal, and it is not allowed to gather or hunt without the permission of all members. If you encounter a demon or other creature that is actively attacking, the primary goal is to deter the opponent. ”

"All the hunt is kept by the 'faceless' and distributed evenly afterwards...... Regardless of the size of the contribution. ”

'Faceless' is Elena, because she always wears a white mask on her face when they meet during this time, so Colmar gives her the code name 'Faceless'. Correspondingly, Colmar gave herself the code name 'Captain', and the black cat's code name was 'Black Cat' - she originally wanted to call the black cat 'Kuroko', but she reluctantly gave up under the strong opposition of the black cat.

As for the hunting, regardless of the contribution, it will be evenly distributed, Zheng Qing also thinks it is understandable.

Because according to this distribution method, it can prevent a member from acting without authorization for the purpose of hunting to the greatest extent. Even if you are a wizard, no one will do anything that is not good.

"No problem. Yelena nodded.

The black cat also tugged at its beard and bowed its head in agreement.

Explain clearly the planning and hunting distribution method in advance, which can avoid the entanglement during exploration and the contradiction after the fact. This is a reality that every temporary hunting team needs to face.

From this point of view, Colmar has done a very good job.

"One last full check before entering. ”

Colma took out his law book and reminded him in turn:

"Law Book Inspection...... The spell entry is valid, the spell book is in normal condition, and the spell casting effect is good. ”

"Basic pharmacy check. ”

"Amulet check. ”

"Talisman check. ”

Because the black cat only wore a jade pendant around its neck from head to toe, and had no other equipment, it could only squat aside and stare at it when the two teammates checked their respective outfits.

Until Yelena began to check the pile of talismans that the black cat had sent out not long ago.

"Where did you get these talismans?" the gypsy witch suddenly spoke, and asked the black cat nonchalantly, "I feel that the effect is very good." ”

As she spoke, she drew a binding charm and threw it at the edge of the glade. Dozens of vines burst out of the void with fangs and claws, tying up a rejuvenating poplar at the edge of the clearing into a zongzi.

The black cat showed a hint of self-satisfaction on his face, and when he just wanted to answer that he had drawn it himself, he suddenly blessed his heart, and a stirring in his heart thought of his current identity.

He's just a cat now.

The black cat secretly said that it was a fluke in his heart. If he admits that the talismans were drawn by himself, then the witches can easily deduce their identities with a little care. What's more, unlike Colma, Yelena often asks him for knowledge about talismans, and she must be very familiar with Zheng Qing's habits, skills, and breath remaining between the talismans.

She must have judged that these talismans were drawn by Zheng Qing.

Thinking of this, the black cat flattened his ears, calmed down, and quietly took a breath before slowly replying, "Oh...... I bought these talismans from a wandering wizard. He has a lot of good goods over there. You don't need a license to buy it. ”

Yelena frowned, nodded slightly, and then flipped her wrist and took the pile of talisman paper into her arms.

She had indeed heard Zheng Qing mention the sale of talismans in the wandering bar. And she was first familiar with Zheng Qing, in the wandering wizard's bar. So the black cat's answer sounded fine. At best, it's a coincidence.

Colma's voice interrupted the witch's thoughts:

"Report the results of the inspection. ”

"The inspection is complete, and the status is normal. The black cat immediately pricked up his ears and replied very seriously.

"No problem. The gypsy witch nodded slightly.

Colmar had a satisfied smile on his face, and with a wave of his arm, he pointed to the gap, and said no more:

"Let's go!"
