As the group walked into the passage, Pola turned a lever inside the wall of the passage.
After the lever was pulled, the walls in the store gradually recovered, and soon the store returned to its previous silence.
In the passage, Doreen, who was walking in front of the crowd, held a lantern to illuminate the dark environment in the passage.
Seeing this, a golden light flashed in Ryan's eyes, and then a spot of light appeared above Ryan's head, ten centimeters bright.
The brightness was much brighter than the lantern in Doreen's hand.
Doreen smiled at Ryan. With Ryan's illumination, she led everyone forward several inches faster.
A few minutes later, they saw the light of the witch's base underground.
It is called a witch's stronghold, but in fact it is just a series of interconnected caves dug underground by the witches.
Following Ryan and his group, they entered the underground witch's stronghold.
All the witches in the cave looked over.
After seeing Elena, the witches' dull eyes brightened a little, as if Elena was their spiritual pillar.
Ryan looked at the many witches living in this small and cramped cave, and a hint of lust appeared in his eyes.
Looking at the clean girl with some dirt on her face, eating some unknown porridge in the bowl, Ryan felt as if something was pulling at his heart.
Then Ryan turned to look at Elena.
"Elena, explain to them. I'll take them into the secret realm first."
After listening to Ryan's words, Elena nodded and immediately explained to the witches in the cave.
After the explanation, the witches who all trusted Elena nodded to Ryan without any hesitation.
Ryan immediately took the witches in the cave into the secret realm.
Then Elena took Ryan to the tunnel on the side and headed for the next small cave.
After Elena took Ryan to all the caves, Ryan also took in the 121 witches who had recently arrived in the Blue Wolf Country into the secret realm.
Afterwards, Doreen brought Ryan and his group back to the ground.
Currently, the number of witches in Ryan's secret realm does not exceed 500.
Ryan took out a gold card and a magic ring and handed them to Lucifer.
"Lucifer, go to the city and buy more food and clothes."
Lucifer took the gold card from Ryan's hand and turned into a shadow and disappeared in the store.
As Lucifer disappeared, Ryan sat on the chair and asked Elena.
"Elena, how many witches are still missing? When will all of them be here?"
Elena lowered her head and thought for a moment before answering.
"There are about a thousand or so people left. They are all witches from the far east, west, and north. It will take them a little longer to get here as the journey is long, but they should all be here by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Ryan hummed and looked at the sun outside the window, talking to himself.
"the day after tomorrow……"
Then he turned to look at Elena and continued.
"Elena, tell the witches to hurry up and get them all here by the day after tomorrow at the latest."
After saying that, Ryan sighed.
"I have a feeling the Far East is in trouble. We need to find the Far East leader as soon as possible and explain the Empire's intentions to him, and then we can leave."
Hearing this, Elena nodded immediately, walked aside and began to use her special alchemy tools to contact many witches.
Seeing the worry on Ryan's face, Shirley walked over and sat in Ryan's arms.
"Master Ryan, don't worry. After the witches arrive the day after tomorrow, we will head to Saraka. After we meet the Far East, we will leave."
"It won't take much time. Judging from the current situation in the Far East, there won't be a war anytime soon. We don't have to worry."
After listening to Shirley's words, the worry between Ryan's brows dissipated a little, but Ryan's sixth sense still gave him a bad premonition.
He buried his head in Shirley's softness and took a deep breath, then Ryan stood up with Shirley.
