The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

She sighed in her heart about Luna's stubbornness, and Alice didn't know when she could make Luna treat herself as an equal friend.

"But having said that, I'm afraid there are a lot of thieves in the Ryan Kingdom? Xilu, can you do it?"

Lilith watched Xilu put away the magic crystal, and asked curiously—although Xilu was helping her, Lilith actually had limited knowledge of the thieves circle, "not to mention The prisoner may leave the Kingdom of Ryan, so it will be more difficult to find the target, right?"

"Don't worry about that. In fact, after hearing that guy used the 'No Trace Technique', the range has narrowed down a lot."

Hearing Lilith's question, Xilu smiled, "Although 'No Trace' is indeed a magic that only thieves can obtain, in fact, there are very few thieves who can use 'No Trace' now—— Because this magic is generally only used when doing some shady activities."

Don't you thieves specialize in doing shady things?

Although Alice really wanted to say this, she felt that it was inappropriate to complain about Xilu at this time. If Xilu was offended, it would be bad if she didn't find someone for herself, so Alice held back just now. The words that were almost spoken, continued to listen to Xilu's explanation.

"The profession of thief, as the name suggests, mainly focuses on stealing and selling—but times are changing. The name of this profession appeared thousands of years ago. In that era, the magic net was not developed, and the management of various countries was also very loose. This gave the thieves a chance to act wantonly."

Xilu seemed to have noticed Alice's eyes and understood what Alice wanted to complain about, so she took the initiative to explain, "But it's different now, the emergence of the magic net has made remote monitoring a reality, and the transmission of magic circles and magic power The popularity of transportation makes it easier for the country to control every corner."

After speaking, Xilu glanced at Alice's reaction:

"So in this case, the living environment of thieves is not as reckless as before. Except for some small-time thieves, most of the thieves have already used the various skills handed down from the past for other purposes. ——Such as intelligence gathering, black market transactions, material excavation... theft has become the rarest activity.”

"So that's what you mean. In this environment, there are very few thieves whose main activity is stealing. In addition, they also need to know the 'No Trace' technique...the range can be reduced a lot in one fell swoop."

Only then did Alice understand why Xilu felt that this matter was not complicated—it reminded her of Rosa. Rosa also seemed to think that the career of thieves had no future, so she switched careers to become a paparazzi, and she would be a thief when she was a thief. The techniques learned are used to secretly photograph celebrities' privacy.

Although the first shot unfortunately hit Alice on the head, and then lived a miserable life...

"There are a lot of information exchanges between thieves. As long as each thieve has been in the thieves' circle for a year or two, there is a way to connect with all thieves through the connection between thieves—thieves who know the traceless technique It’s rare now, and it won’t take long to verify it.”

Seeing that Alice seemed to understand what she meant, Xilu nodded in satisfaction, with a hint of pride in her tone, "Anyway, let alone a thief in the Kingdom of Ryan, even if that guy really isn't in Kingdom of Ryan anymore, I'm alone I can help you find him within a week."

"I've said it before, it's definitely right to find Xilu for this matter."

Lilith looked at Alice with a smile, and said, "Speaking of which, I've helped you so much, shouldn't you pay me something later?"

If it is an ordinary person, they would definitely not dare to ask for reward after helping the brave. This is not a brave RPG game. Anyone would dare to issue trivial tasks to the brave—but Lilith did not treat Alice as a brave. So the communication is still the same as before.

"I don't have any more figurines on me."

Alice shrugged her shoulders, looking helpless. She thought that the reward Lilith wanted must be the same figure as Andusia - and she didn't know if she knew that the figure was actually a secret treasure of the Treants What kind of expression will the living wood have.

"I don't need a figure, I want some other reward."

Lilith waved her hand, and then said with some coyness, "The next time you fight the devil, can you take me with you?"

Alice was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then she looked at Lilith strangely—what's the situation with this girl?When other people see the battle between the brave man and the devil, they all wish to stay as far away as possible. Why does this guy still want to go to the scene?

Chapter 350: Lilith Still Doesn't Know the Seriousness of the Matter

Although Xilu said that the matter of finding someone is on her, it is not an easy job to check all the people who have learned the "no trace" technique in the entire Ryan Kingdom, even if Xilu is in the Thieves Guild. There are quite intertwined forces here, and they have not yet reached the level of covering the sky with one hand.

Although many people will give Xilu a face as a thief, they are not Xilu's subordinates after all. If Xilu asked them to come, they would rush here. Most of the time, Xilu had to personally Only by going there can we secretly complete the inspection.

And she can't directly say to those thieves, "I suspect that you are the one who stole the "Shadow of the Demon King" from the Royal Magic Tower some time ago, so you can prove yourself with this magic crystal." These people came into contact with this magic crystal and secretly observed whether there was any change in the magic crystal.

In general, even if Xilu's subordinates are strong enough, it will take a week or two to investigate the thieves who know the traceless technique in the Kingdom of Ryan - if there are no thieves in the Kingdom of Ryan, they still have to investigate For thieves from other kingdoms, it may take a month or two to get it done.

This is also due to the limitation of the condition of "thieves who know no trace". If there is no such condition, it may be difficult to clean up all the thieves in a year or two.

However, in this one or two weeks, Alice can't just be idle - she has dealt with most of the things at present, if there is anything else that can be done in this one or two weeks, it is probably The only thing left is to find a piece of living wood.

As the secret treasure of the tree people, it is almost impossible for the living wood to flow into the hands of outsiders. Even in the eyes of alchemists, it is one of the rarest materials, even much rarer than the natural seeds - Andusia used She also forcibly snatched the part that came to house the soul from the Treants.

The conditions for the birth of living wood are also a mystery. In short, it must be very harsh. That's why the living wood in the hands of tree people is so rare. Even in the alchemy books compiled by alchemists, there are records related to living wood. rare.

Lilith, the princess of the Ryan Kingdom, was born with a golden key in her mouth. People who have seen all kinds of strange treasures, after seeing Andusia's delicate and life-like figure, did not think of life Wood is such a thing, it can be seen that even for these royal families, living wood is absolutely rare or even rarely heard of.

Of course, even if Lilith didn't know the existence of the living wood, she should still know about the Treant Race—Although Alice also has the status of a princess of the Gryffin Kingdom, after all, this identity was picked up, and it is not difficult for her to travel to this world. In just a few months, I still have to ask Lilith about many things in the local area.

"Treats? Why are you looking for them? Those guys are very xenophobic. They drive away humans when they see them. If you want to stay for a while, you may even be attacked by them. It is popular in the human mercenary circle. very bad."

Lilith didn't expect Alice to ask this question suddenly - after talking in the coffee shop just now, the two went back to their respective homes, and she didn't expect to receive a call from Alice after returning home, "Even if you are a brave man , I’m afraid it’s not easy for the tree people, they are not as talkative as the elves, and there is no brave man born in the tribe, so they will not treat the brave man specially.”

I didn't expect that even Lilith's evaluation of the Treants was so bad. It seems that the Treants left a bad impression on outsiders--Alice seemed to understand why Andusia would grab the Trees' living wood It's probably because the tree people have provoked Andusia's self-esteem again.

Alice wanted to laugh when she thought of the scene where Andusia bombarded the Treants while blowing their hairs, and then snatched a piece of living wood and flew away amidst their roars.

Probably because her current impression of Andusia is that of a figure-sized body, so even some of the things she has done before have become funny—although it is not a good thing to rob other people's secret treasures That's it, Alice left a lot of good things for the elves anyway.

"Do you know why the tree people are so xenophobic?"

Although I know that the tree people seem to be very unfriendly to other races, after all, Alice needs a piece of living wood to exchange Andusia back, otherwise she is cheating Lilith, so she still wants to give it a try, "It stands to reason Even though the tree people are very xenophobic, in the tens of thousands of years of history, there should be many people who have come into contact with the tree people, right? Have they got any information?"

"The reason why the tree-humans are xenophobic, I know this, or it is basically common sense among mercenaries. My guard used to be a mercenary, so he told me this thing."

What Lilith was talking about should be Coors, the male warrior who has been protecting Lilith from afar, "The tree people were not xenophobic thousands of years ago, and they even had a good relationship with humans. Their relationship with other races The deterioration has only started in the last few decades."

"A relationship that has only started to deteriorate in recent decades?"

Alice was a little curious. In this way, Andussia snatched the tree-human things, not because the tree-humans were xenophobic—maybe it was simply because the devil's reputation was not very good, and he was scolded by the tree-humans, "What happened in recent decades What's the big deal? Let the Treants be so dissatisfied with humans."

"It's not a big deal, it should be said that it's the accumulation of countless small things."

Lilith's voice was also a little helpless, "You should also know that in recent decades, because of the establishment of the magic net, a lot of knowledge can be transmitted remotely, which greatly facilitates the exchange and dissemination of information, and has led to a very rapid development of civilization. growth—and as this civilization developed, so did many magical factories, heavy industries..."

"..."

When Alice heard this, she seemed to understand something—she seemed to have experienced this kind of situation on the earth before she crossed. The only difference is that there is no such thing as tree people on earth. "You mean, tree people?" Is the rapid deterioration of the relationship between the human race and humans because of the development of these heavy industries and the destruction of the forest?"

"It's basically like this. The tree people are the children of nature. Forests, trees, and plants are of the same kind to them, and human behavior is no different from slaughtering their own kind. Strange."

Lilith sighed, "In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Treants could not defeat humans, I guess they would all think of revenge on humans—but there is no way, for the development of civilization, it is necessary to develop part of the forest. What has to be done, in fact, the part cut down by humans has been carefully planned, and it is determined that it will not affect the magical environment before doing it."

Alice believed this point. If she really made endless observations, she would probably have become the same as the earth. In fact, there are still a lot of forests in this world, which is much better than the earth. If Let the tree people go to the earth before they crossed, and they will probably be so angry that they will die on the spot.

"All in all, this is the situation of the tree people. If you have something that requires the tree people to help, I suggest you consider other options."

In the end, Lilith concluded, "If it's not something you have to do, then don't do it."

Lilith who said this obviously would not have thought that if Alice really gave up, it would be herself who would suffer the loss.

Chapter 350 Andusia's Melancholy

Although Lilith's persuasion was actually her own who suffered in the end, Alice still decided to go to the tree people to try to see if there was any way to persuade the tree people to get a piece of living wood.

Although it is indeed difficult for the living wood to flow into the hands of outsiders, since there are records in the books of the alchemists, it means that it has flowed from the hands of the tree people, and finally reached the hands of a certain alchemist , This was written into the alchemist's book.

After all, the combat power of an alchemist is actually quite subtle. At least there is no such thing as a forbidden spell in alchemy—so if it is said that a certain alchemist snatched a piece of living wood from the treant, Alice doesn't think so. Possibly, very possibly, that alchemist used some method to convince the Treants.

Or...threats to the Treants?It is also possible, after all, the Treants are also intelligent races, since they are intelligent, they must have weaknesses, and it is true that they can obtain living wood from them by threatening the Treants by certain means.

"If you have to find the tree people, it is not impossible to tell you their settlement... The tree people's tribe is in the middle of the Kalu Forest between the kingdom of Ryan and the kingdom of Yimir. There are some people living in the tree people's living area A magic stone for warning."

Although I don't know why Alice insisted on looking for the tree people, but considering Alice's identity as a brave man, Lilith is regarded as the secret of the brave man, "Those magic stones are used to warn humans not to approach, once entering that area You may be attacked by the tree people...but with your strength, you should not be afraid of the tree people."

After returning home, Lilith also asked Aetolia why Alice wanted to hide the identity of the brave, and the conclusion she got was to give the brave a space to grow with peace of mind. Once her identity was revealed, Alice would inevitably suffer a lot of demons. racial harassment.

But even though that is the case, the residual magic power extracted from the "battle scene" outside the city of Icarus, as well as the video of the brave man and the devil fighting in the forest of elves, all prove that Alice is a brave man. The strength is already very terrifying.

Although the tree people have more combat advantages than humans in terms of body and magic power, they are still far behind the brave. In addition, the number of tree people is too small, and it is estimated that they are not enough for Alice's two forbidden spells. bombed.

In particular, Lilith knew in that video that Alice had learned the fire-attributed curse "Burning Star". If they really fought, the bodies of the tree-humans might be burned out with the aftermath of the Burning Star.

"I'll send you the specific location in a LINK private message later. There are also human garrisons nearby. In order to prevent people from approaching and being attacked by the tree people, but as you, you should be able to enter by swiping your face. They shouldn't Dare to stop you."

Lilith said with a smile, although Alice's identity as a hero cannot be revealed casually, her identity as a princess of the Gryffin Kingdom is enough for those guards to dare not intercept her, "But I suggest you take a few people with you, because even You are a princess, but if you don’t even have a guard around you, I don’t think those guys would dare to take the risk to let you in—after all, if something happens to you inside, they will be finished.”

This is true, although she can use her identity as the princess of the Gryffindor Kingdom to swipe her face in, but at least she must have some security around her to let the guards let her in, otherwise if something happens, they will definitely take the blame .

They can still distinguish between the responsibility of being put on small shoes by the princess and the responsibility of being pursued by the king for the death of the princess.

"But I didn't bring anyone with me when I came here."

Alice scratched her head a little. She came here to conduct a secret investigation. Of course, she wanted to avoid complications. Therefore, neither Luna nor Xiaoshi brought her along. She only brought Andusia, which is easy to carry and used in exchange for a student ID card. ——It was also placed with Lilith.

So now she is asked to find two guards with good fighting power, but she really can't find them. She can't ask Lilith for Coors. That is the highest combat power around Lilith. If Coors is taken away, Lilith will be punished. It would be troublesome to attack.

"There's no way to do it, or you can find a way to get in by yourself."

Lilith smiled gloatingly, and she could see that although Alice really wanted to find the tree people, she didn't go to the point where she had to do it—in short, she seemed to do it if she could, really It felt like she could only give up if she couldn't do it, so her attitude was very relaxed, "Or how many people do you want from my dad? If you ask, he probably can lend you the leader of our kingdom's guards. "

The leader of the kingdom's guards is probably on the same level as Catherine. He is the top combatant in every kingdom, capable of arm-wrestling with the four kings of the demon race. As Alice's hero, King Haydn is indeed It is possible to lend her the leader of the Kingdom Guards.

After all, you can tell just by looking at Height, and now Catherine is almost becoming Alice's nanny under Height's order, helping Alice deal with a lot of things, which one is like what the leader of the Royal Guards should do ?

"It's okay to mix in...then let's sneak in."

But Lilith's casual mention reminded Alice, why are you so entangled?As long as my right hand turns the magic cloak into a weapon, I can use the breath concealment skill to completely hide my breath and appearance. Isn't it easy to sneak into the tree-human territory by then?

In fact, if Alice really wants to get a piece of living wood by any means, it is actually very simple to steal one through the invisible time-but this is different from stealing forbidden spells after all. The tree people caused actual losses, but stealing the living wood did indeed cause the tree people to lose a secret treasure.

So her first idea was to sneak into the Treant tribe's territory first, find out the current situation of the Treant tribe, see if the Treant tribe had any needs, and then meet their needs in exchange for a piece of living wood.

After conceiving a rough plan, Alice thanked Lilith with satisfaction, and then ended the call, leaving only Lilith in the room with a confused face, holding the phone a little confused about the situation.

"Could she really want to sneak in?"

Lilith scratched her head. Once the invisibility technique in this world was activated, she couldn't act at will, so she really couldn't figure out how Alice planned to sneak into the Treant tribe's territory secretly.

Andusia, who was placed in the figure cabinet by the table, looked at the confused Lilith, and yawned boredly—of course she heard the call between Alice and Lilith, and knew that Alice should be preparing to Get a piece of living wood, and re-carve the same figure to replace yourself.

That's fine, she was almost bored to death with Lilith, and she even thought about telling Lilith her identity directly, so that she could act freely in Lilith's house.

However, this idea was still taken back by her—her real identity is the devil. If she told Lilith, Lilith would be frightened first, and then hurriedly stabbed the matter to the king of the Ryan Kingdom. At that time, don't talk about free activities, I'm afraid it will involve Alice.

"Hey, I hope that guy can get the living wood soon."

Andusia, who felt that her body was about to rot, prayed in her heart.

Chapter 350 Nine Years of Trees, Hundred Years of Trees (Fog

"Sure enough, there are soldiers stationed there."

Through the positioning sent to her by Lilith, Alice quickly arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Ryan through the teleportation magic circle, and found the suspected tree-human settlement in the Kalu Forest bordering the Kingdom of Yimir.

However, around the target, a protective fence was surrounded by special magic stones, and many soldiers were stationed patrolling nearby——Alice hid in the dark and observed, and found that the soldiers stationed were divided into two groups. There are not small differences in the armor style and weapons on the body.

Obviously, not all of these soldiers are from the Kingdom of Ryan, and the neighboring Yimir Kingdom also took on half of the garrison tasks. The soldiers of the two countries seem to get along quite harmoniously, and they are not very nervous—after all, their The task is not to fight, but mainly to remind those who are close to here not to go any further.

Because of the existence of magicians, many explorers or mercenaries in this world will go to some inaccessible places for various reasons, and some special potion materials can only be collected in the deep forest, just like Ellie When Si just crossed, she met Zhuo Na in the depths of the forest who came to collect materials.

Of course, this Kalu Forest has become a good place for many explorers, mercenaries, or magicians with little money to collect materials in person, but as more and more people are attacked, the Kingdom of Ryan and Yi The Kingdom of Mir was also aware of the attitude of the Treants, so a cordon was set up here.
