Chapter Eighty-One: Satellite City

  "Clean up the battlefield, Aileen, come here for a moment." After winning the battle, Odell frowned, not quite satisfied with her own standards. Especially Aileen's attack, which affected the entire team's attacking rhythm.

  She took Irene aside and gave her a quiet lecture.

  Midi saw this and combined with the memories of his previous life, suddenly understood that the rise of the "sister flowers" of the Morning Star Mercenary Corps was not accidental either. Aileen's qualifications were very good, although it was impossible to be a super-class transfer, but probably also a perfect transfer. As the team leader, Odell needed to command the overall situation and could not personally go to the front line, so she would specially cultivate Aileen.

  It was precisely because of her farsightedness that she finally achieved the two titles of Huohua Shuangqiang and Die Shuangqiang.

  However, it is also natural for Irene to have some flaws in the Kingdom of Elves.

  The strength of the monsters here is much higher than that in Gran Forest. No, it should be said that they were not originally monsters, but rather the elite birds and beasts carefully cultivated by the spirits, only to have been affected by mutations, thus becoming ferocious monsters.

  It's precisely because of this that it's even more troublesome.

  Fortunately, Odell was clearly well-prepared and the team continued to advance, with the joint team cooperating at a top-notch level. Various commands were issued accurately, and each part of the team acted in accordance, changing formations as smoothly as flowing clouds, and tactical changes were made without any stagnation.

  Yè Rèn Bào Wáng, Sēn Huī, Jiǎo Yīng Shòu, shèn zhì shì gāo dá shí mǐ de Shù Rén Shǒu wèi, yī gè gè dōu dào le ào Dài ěr de zhǐ huī, yǔ Mǐ Dé Fēng Lì Wú Pǐ de Hēi Tiān Jiàn xià.

  However, in reality, Midei's interventions were not many, mostly when the monster leaders were about to go berserk or make a final counterattack before dying, he would suppress them with one fatal blow.

  This is Odelle's request, after all, although they have already entered the Elf Kingdom, this is only the periphery. If they really want to enter the royal court, the intensity of the battle will increase by several levels. For example, the ancient tree people guarding or the iron winged eagle beast, etc., are all elite among elites, and taking out any one of them would be stronger than the leader of the current monster group.

  If you don't seize the opportunity now and learn from experience, when real difficulties arise, Midy will also be unable to take care of everyone.

  It's not just adventure, but command; it's not just command, but also training. Odelle's vision is indeed far-reaching.

  In an ordinary third-rate mercenary group, it would be impossible to have someone like him as the leader. The Morning Star Mercenary Corps is an organization with unlimited potential, and even without the legacy of the Elf King's Court, they will rise to prominence.

  Time flies quickly, after several days of fighting in a row, Mide and others also have a basic understanding of the overall situation on the outskirts of the kingdom.

  Unlike the ordinary Gran Forest, there are no villages here, only satellite cities with truly defensive walls, each built at the center of a magical pulse. The satellite cities are scattered across the endless forest sea, and if viewed from high altitude, they seem like isolated islands on an emerald ocean.

  The satellite cities are not isolated from each other, but are connected by artificial corridors. Of course, both segments of the corridor have a card lock, at which point the emerald leaves come in handy. Each time a large gate is opened, one emerald leaf is required, and since both ends of the corridor have a card lock, it means that moving from one satellite city to another requires two leaves.

  This is the true purpose of the emerald leaves. Aileen uses them to sense fluctuations, which is a special talent unique to half-elves.

  Of course, there are also ways to pass levels without using leaves, that is, the power of forcibly breaking through defensive formations.

  Midi tried but returned without success.

  The defensive formation and the satellite city's magical pulse are connected, with an almost infinite amount of magic power. For professions below level 40, it is impossible to destroy. Currently, only Feena can achieve this, and even she needs the support of the magical pulse beneath her feet.

  Midi is not working, Alice is not working either, let alone those people in the joint team.

  As for Wang Ting, Odell and others, they didn't have any concept, but Mide had the experience of his previous life. In his previous life, the Elf King's Court had been explored almost thoroughly, he had been to the core location, so he knew that the Elf King's Court was just a largest central city.

  From Satellite City to Central City, however, there are no corridors; one must use a teleporter in a specific palace to enter.

  However, this transmission array is not available in every satellite city. Only those located in the inner circle and with a higher level have the qualification to set up a transmission array.

  The satellite city where Meddy and others are currently located is on the outermost periphery, directly adjacent to Gran's Forest. The level is naturally the lowest, and it is necessary to enter a higher-level satellite city in order to find a path to enter the royal court.

  In other words, this adventure has had a very high threshold from the start.

  The number of jade leaves and the length or shortness of the chosen route directly determine how far a team can go without being defeated.

  At this moment, after several days of adventure and battle, the first satellite city has been explored by Midee and others. This outermost satellite city is more like a defensive area similar to a fortress than a city, so when the heavenly fire came, the battle here was the most intense, and it was also destroyed the most thoroughly.

  After several days of exploration, there was nothing that could be considered a decent spoil of war. The only gain was that everyone's level had loosened up a bit, and Aileen even leveled up.

  "It's time to leave, we have to explore deeper." Odette said straightforwardly to Midy.

  "But this satellite city has three corridors, which one should I take?" Norton pondered beside him.

  "What did you see in the telescope?" asked Middy.

  This future alchemy master doesn't have much to offer in terms of combat power, but has concocted many small gadgets using alchemy. Although they are not the top-notch equipment that adventurers covet, they are extremely helpful for adventuring itself.

  For example, the telescope with a magic array in his hand can see much farther than an ordinary telescope, and it can also directly observe the blurry distribution of elements with the naked eye, which is very helpful for judging the situation in the area.

  Moreover, Norton himself used these props and achieved an effect that was even better than that of ordinary adventurers.

  In the Gran Forest, this skill was somewhat overkill, but in the Elf Kingdom, with every step, the Alchemist Master's knowledge and techniques immediately showed remarkable effects.

  Soon, the alchemy master became the eyes and ears of this team.

  "The satellite city to the north has a lot of vegetation and also a lake. The satellite city directly east has a high concentration of fire elements and iron elements, while the northeast satellite city is severely damaged, but there is a tower in the center." Norton replied calmly.

  "Let's head to the satellite city in the northeast." Mide made a direct decision, "Most of the northern part is where Night Blade Leopards and other mounts are raised, the eastern part is the smelting district, and the middle one with the magic tower has an obviously higher level. Who knows, there might even be a road leading to the royal court, and the treasures inside will definitely be better."

  Odell and Norton having no objection.

  Anything related to magic is naturally one level higher, or even several levels higher, this is the common sense of adventurers.

  But for Mide, apart from this reason, it was also because he was very clear that the Elf King's Court was in the northeast, only hidden by a large magic array, so even if he used binoculars to observe, he couldn't find it.

  He naturally had to walk in the direction closer to Wang Ting, because only there was a legacy worth moving the heart of an earl.

  The decision was made, and the team that had been grinding for a considerable amount of time immediately sprang into action, using Emerald Leaf to unlock the gate, passing through the corridor, and quickly moving to the satellite city where the Magic Tower was located.

  In this satellite city, there are no Night Blade Leopards or Horned Eagle Beasts, but instead, many magical puppeteers exist, including stone puppets, wooden puppets, and even more powerful iron puppets.

  The adventurer's sword had little effect on the puppet, and metal was highly resistant to magic.

  Fortunately, there were craftsmen like Norton who existed, and one of them was a master craftsman specializing in the manufacture of automatic puppets. He had some ideas on how to deal with these puppets. With targeted guidance, the seemingly powerful puppets were no longer invincible enemies. Moreover, the mutation caused by the Granus Forest fire had almost no effect on the puppets, and their level did not increase. Therefore, after the initial adaptation phase, the team's exploration speed in this high-level satellite city increased instead of decreasing.

  Before long, the magic tower located in the center of the city was already within sight.

  The outer periphery of the Magic Tower also has many forbidden spell arrays.

  However, most of these spell arrays were destroyed in the invasion of high-ranking elements. The tower below was even more desolate, with puppet wreckage and the bodies of the elf mages who made them scattered everywhere.

  The remaining few taboos were nothing to mention in front of craftsmen like Norton. Soon, everyone entered the magic tower.

  "We're rich......" Irene's eyes sparkled.

  "It's no wonder it's the Kingdom of Elves." Norton, who had yet to become a great alchemist in this life, was also shaken.

  Even Odette, who was normally calm, became excited at this moment.

  This is a truly research-oriented magic tower, with specialized arrays inside that extract magical energy from the ley lines to supply power throughout the entire tower. The tower has dozens of warehouses storing large quantities of rare materials, including Starlight Gold, Meteoric Iron, Magic Steel, Purple Copper, Red Copper and so on...

  In addition to these metals, there are also a considerable number of herbs used for refining magical tools, as well as quite a few magic scrolls that have already been made by the elven mages.

  These scrolls are all placed in individual cylindrical containers and arranged on shelves in rows, looking particularly eye-catching.

  This is undoubtedly a huge fortune for adventurers.

  However, Mide was not very interested in these things. Although the materials were precious, they had not yet reached the point of being worth a city, and there were enough reserves in the territory.

  He first entered the library in the Magic Tower.

  By browsing through the works in it, Mide quickly confirmed that the main research content of this magic tower was indeed the production of puppets.

  The Principality of Bellmard also has similar institutions, such as the automated puppets from the Hertonia Royal Magic Academy, which were created by the country's puppet-making organization. The famous "Inferno Challenge" combination was also created by those people.

  However, compared with the Kingdom of Elves which has accumulated for thousands of years, the automatic puppets of the Principality are too rough.
