Before leaving, Rhett also thought about whether to recruit the female knight under his command.

But he was cautious and thought that he still had to tame the sand elves next, and such an important matter could not allow any accidents to happen.

Revealing his information would bring unnecessary risks. With rich life experience, he just regarded it as a small episode and a passer-by.

At most... after the matter is over, I can return to White Pumpkin City in a low-key manner to communicate and see if there is any willingness to join the territory.

It took another week for Rhett to reach his destination.

Death Swamp, in the east-central part of the Kingdom of Rhium.

The surrounding area is yellow barren land, which surrounds a twisted jungle with a radius of hundreds of miles. Looking from a high place, you can see that the ground is pitch black.

The swamp is in the center of the jungle. After Rhett arrived, he had already inquired from the surrounding villages that the Death Swamp has a strong devouring power. Once ordinary people set foot in it, it is difficult to escape and they will gradually be swallowed to death by the swamp.

Even if a low-level knight accidentally steps into a swamp, the mobility of his legs will be affected to varying degrees.

Coupled with the corrosive monsters that roam in the swamp, this place has become a forbidden place in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, for knights and magicians with extraordinary powers, it is still an optional trial site.

Leiter estimated the date. Today was February 29th, three days earlier than in the simulation.

He looked at the black world below, which was like a huge mouth of the abyss, ready to devour anyone.

He was not afraid at all, and whispered softly: "About half a month, there will be a sandstorm..."

Well, there was one in the simulation in mid-March. So, maybe in these two days, a sandstorm will happen.

No, it was a vision of the sand elves! Lei Te's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he gave an order: "Huo Ge, fly around this death swamp from the outside to the inside!"

Chirp! Huo Ge spread his wings and began to fly along the periphery, spinning 360 degrees.

Lei Te sat on his back and thought: "However, I wonder if that abominable old mage will show up when the sandstorm appears this time."

Rhett frowned, feeling a little difficult.

Out of caution, he decided to rehearse it in a real simulation first...

With an idea in mind, I turned on the system.

[Do you want to start the real simulation? Each day of simulation consumes 1 point of destiny. ]

"Yes, simulate for a day!"

Buzz

Rhett didn't breathe a sigh of relief until ripples appeared all around.

He stretched himself and muttered quietly, "I wonder what kind of identity that great mage has? He is so arrogant and unreasonable. It's really too much!"

Huo Ge flapped his wings and flew high in the sky above the Death Swamp. One man and one beast, four eyes, constantly looked down, looking for any suspicious situation.

Half a day passed.

Despite his full concentration, Rhett gained nothing.

It was now night, and the dusk was deepening. Thick fog and swamps have always been a perfect match. A layer of purple poisonous fog shrouded the Death Swamp, which was particularly creepy. If an ordinary person stepped in, he would not last long before being poisoned to death.

In stark contrast, the sky was clear, stars appeared, and a full moon rose into the sky.

Rhett, who was in agony of searching, had circled over the Death Swamp countless times.

Just as Rhett was feeling drowsy, he felt something suddenly appear in the sky ahead of him.

He suddenly perked up.

Looking ahead, I saw an old man with green hair and green robe, holding a straight white wand in his hand, with a gem inlaid on the top of the wand that was particularly bright in the night.

The old man was riding a flying magical beast and was looking at Rhett carefully.

Rhett's heart sank. The old man in green robe had an unfathomable aura and a sarcastic look on his face.

It looked exactly like the image of the great magician who bullied him in the simulation! Lei Te was so angry that his teeth were itching...

Sure enough, the other party spoke the next second.

"Huh? A fifth-level magician? And you have a flying magical pet... What is your purpose in coming here?" The green-robed great magician was also riding a flying magical beast - a fourth-level storm eagle, floating in the air, squinting his eyes and speaking with a bad look.

Rhett sighed inwardly but his expression remained unchanged. Fortunately, he knew this was a simulation and had prepared in advance.

So, according to the plan that had been thought of in advance, the wording was decided: "May I ask this great mage, which force is he from?"

"Hmm? Don't you understand the situation? I'm questioning you, why are you asking me back?" The green-robed old man's eyes flashed dangerously, and a faint fluctuation of earth element was rippling in the air.

Lei Te pretended to be flustered and showed a trace of fear at the right time, but he tried to calm down and continued, "I am a student of Master Niru Alchemist from the Ring Tower. I came to the Death Swamp with a mission."

"Circular Tower?" The green-robed old man's voice suddenly rose twice, and he quickly restrained his momentum and calmed down. However, there was a flash of doubt in his eyes: "You... are Master Niru's student?"

Lei Te smiled faintly: "Of course, my mentor said that there are suspected traces of sand elves appearing here, let me try my luck."

As he spoke, a faint khaki light suddenly flashed on Rhett's body, and then a layer of solid rock armor wrapped around his body.

“Rock Armor Technique!” The green-robed old man was shocked, his eyes flickered, and when his breathing calmed down, his mind was filled with thoughts: “If it weren’t for the special bloodline potion, it would be impossible to master the sixth-level earth magic at the fifth level.

So, it seems that what the other party said about being Master Niru's student is very likely true?"

Otherwise, how could such a precious bloodline potion appear on a magician?

The green-robed old man's breathing gradually calmed down, and he believed it most of the time.

However, I can’t be sure!

After all, he has lived for a long time and is very experienced. Before he saw conclusive evidence, the old man in green robe always had some doubts in his heart.

Unconsciously, his tone became a little more polite, and he said with a smile: "Wow, so you are Master Niru's student, no wonder you are so handsome!"

The corners of Rhett's mouth twitched, and he secretly complained that his expression changed too quickly.

However, he checked the information and found that Master Niru, a great magician and alchemist, must have an extraordinary influence in the Kingdom of Rim, which was enough to make people feel fearful.

Then he asked, "Why are you here? I don't know who you are..."

"Haha, I'm the vice president of the Yager Chamber of Commerce. I happened to pass by here and learned about the recent abnormalities here, so I came here to take a look." The green-robed old man said with a smile.

"What? As a member of the Ring Tower, haven't you ever heard of the Yager Chamber of Commerce?" The green-robed old man's eyes were filled with surprise, and a hint of suspicion suddenly emerged.

"Of course..." Rhett was shocked, but he looked calm and prepared to find an excuse to get away with it.

But who would have thought that a hundred meters away, a whistling sound of wind would blow, like the devil's low hum.

There was a gleam of light in Lei Te's eyes, and he was ready to go over.

"Sand elf?!" The old man in green robe was quick-witted and reacted extremely quickly. Thinking of what Rhett had just said, he took the lead and rushed over in an instant!

Lei Te watched from the side and said, "What a pity! Even if I am Master Niru's student and my identity is true, the other party will not give up the Sand Elves.

What's more, I am a pure fake? "

Rhett shook his head and sighed, he could only observe from behind. He was worried that if he went up to snatch it, he would be killed on the spot by the opponent, wasting this simulation opportunity.

Since this is a simulation, we might as well observe the situation first.

While observing, Rhett calculated in his mind the direction from which the old man in green robe came, as well as details such as the time the two men took to talk.

Prepare for the next simulation and think of ways to get the opponent away in advance!

The old man in green robe rushed into the center of the sandstorm but did not cause any ripples at all.

Then, the old man in green robe performed many strange movements, sometimes jumping, sometimes raising his hands high, and sometimes lying down.

Seeing this scene, Rhett was thoughtful.

Could it be that some actions are also particularly helpful in attracting elves? But soon, the scene in front of him pulled him out of his thoughts. He saw the sandstorm gradually dissipate, leaving the green-robed old man stunned in place.

He rushed over with a gloomy look and said to Lei Te: "Didn't you say there was a suspected sand elf? Why didn't it show up just now!"

Leiter shrugged and asked, "Tell me your name and I'll tell you why."

"Hmm? Could it be that you are not a student of the Ring Tower?" The green-robed old man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became dangerous again, "How could someone from the Ring Tower not know the name of the vice president of the Jager Chamber of Commerce?"

In other words, the magician in front of him actually dared to deceive him just now!

Unforgivable.

"Hey, Moguli Fute, I've told you my name. Now tell me everything you know!" The old man in green robe smiled strangely and said coldly.

"You jerk." Rhett smiled faintly and cursed.

The old man in green robe flew into a rage upon hearing this. He cursed without knowing why, his face flushed red, and a sharp spike suddenly condensed and attacked Rhett's chest directly.

However, the next second, the surrounding space suddenly froze.

Then, ripples gradually spread.

The simulation is over.

The options given after the real simulation popped up in front of him. Leiter silently chose mental power, but there was no change.

The scene returned to noon again, and the sunlight shone on Rhett's face, making him feel unreal.

"The sand elf is mine! It's mine!" Rhett's face flushed, and he was excited when he thought of the sandstorm scene just now.

But he quickly calmed down. Business was more important, and he went over the plan for tonight in his mind again.

After a while, he took Huo Ge into the Death Swamp.

Waiting for dusk to fall again and the sun to set, Rhett watched the waxing moon rise in the west and silently came to the sky above the Death Swamp.

He looked around and then down, locating the exact position of the last simulation.

After a while, he nodded slowly and looked at the familiar scene below. This was it.

He turned his head and looked at the towering ancient tree on his right. The sandstorm just now occurred around that ancient tree.

Then he looked forward again. That was the direction where Moogle Fute came from! Estimating the time, Lei Te rode on Huo Ge and rushed forward.

It was a dim tavern with a small interior space of only over 100 square meters.

An old man in a green robe was sitting at the bar. His disdain for this run-down tavern immediately turned into curiosity: "Oh? You mean, there have been regular sandstorms around here recently?"

The bartender who was wiping the wine glass with a clean rag at the bar counter looked faintly fearful as he looked at the terrifying magician in front of him and said:

"Yes, I also heard it from the drinkers who came here and talked with the villagers."

"So, when was the last time a sandstorm appeared?" The old man in green robe had a bright look in his eyes and his tone was more eager.

The bartender thought for a moment and said, "It seemed like... it was half a month ago. At that time, I heard that some villagers were injured, so many people were talking about the sandstorm."

"Half a month ago?" The green-robed old man was startled, his eyes moved left and right, he took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it on the bar: "No need to change it!"

When he finished speaking, the old man in green robe had disappeared from the tavern.

The bartender looked at the gold coin with a look of surprise, and happily put it into his pocket.

The old man in green robe is naturally Moogle Fute.

He heard about the unusual sandstorm, and with his extensive knowledge, he decided to investigate! So he left the tavern and headed straight for the Death Swamp.

Soon, the small village behind him was left far behind.

He patted the Storm Eagle under his seat and urged, "Faster, Batty!"

Chirp~ The storm eagle has long dark gray feathers, a short thick neck, and thick and broad wings. It shuttles through the night sky like a sharp arrow, stirring up gusts of wind and air.

But not long after running, Moguli saw a red dot appear in front of him. It was getting closer and closer. It felt like it was running towards him. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he exclaimed softly: "Huh? Barty, stop first."

"Chi?" Batty seemed to freeze in an instant, stopped abruptly, and made a puzzled cry.

Soon, Lei Te approached on the fire grid.

He chuckled and said, "Good evening, Mr. Moogle."

"Do you know me?" Moguri narrowed his eyes and looked at the fifth-level magician in front of him.

"Of course, the vice president of the Yager Chamber of Commerce is well-known in the Reim Kingdom."

Moguli was in a good mood after hearing this. His expression relaxed and he said calmly, "Haha, who are you? What do you want from me?"

"Love. Kuhlmann." Leiter made up a fake name and continued, "Vice President Moguri, I am a student of Master Niru, and I am here to hunt down a traitor from the Ring Tower."

"Oh? A traitor appeared in the Ring Tower?" Moogle's tone was quite surprised, then he thought about it and said with a smile: "Do you have any information about the traitor? If he has been around, maybe I can contribute."

"This..." Upon hearing this, Rhett hesitated on the spot, his eyes flickering, and he did not respond for a long time.
