Half an hour later.

A very inconspicuous tree hole entrance in the suburbs of Atlassen.

"Follow me, I'll take you in."

"The tree hole is deep and dark, but don't worry, it's safe inside."

Rosen nodded and followed closely behind him.

The entrance to the tree hole is blocked by a thick bush and is indeed inconspicuous, but the passage inside is very spacious and in a multi-layered spiral shape. The diameter of the spiral is about 20 meters. After one rotation, it descends about five meters.

The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. There was a thick layer of soil blocking the surrounding area, and Rosen's void vision was suppressed to less than 300 meters.

I'm not worried about the danger, because everything is normal within 300 meters, and there are very few people in this world who have the ability to plot against another person across a solid soil layer of more than 300 meters.

At least Rosen himself couldn't do it.

Through the void vision, one can also see that the spiral passage goes down all the way, spinning for about 40 times and going more than 200 meters underground.

This project is extremely large.

He was very curious: "The hole seems very deep. When was it dug?"

Even if there were magic, this would be a rare and large-scale project and it would be difficult to do it quietly.

"It was probably dug more than 5,000 years ago as part of the Fire Project."

Rosen didn't understand: "Project Spark? Never heard of it."

Lisha patiently explained: "More than 5,000 years ago, Druitan suddenly left. The elves who lost their master felt both happy and panicked."

"The ancestors were worried that Dritan would return again, and that another void god like Dritan would invade, so they dug a large number of underground passages under the earth."

"These underground passages intersect and connect to form a cluster of underground cities throughout the Everfree Forest, named the 'Glimmering City'."

"This way, even if Dritan returns again, we can still maintain a certain degree of freedom under the protection of the earth."

"But Druitan never returned, the Spark Project was gradually forgotten, and many of the underground cities collapsed. Now, the new generation of elves are almost completely unaware of its existence."

"But the Glimmering City is very, very strong. Even after five thousand years, most of it has been preserved."

"Many powerful elves still retain their ancient memories, so the Glimmering City was once again activated."

As they were talking, Lisha led Rosen through the spiral passage, crossed a downward staircase, and entered a deep underground layer about 220 meters deep.

A very spacious arched underground passage appeared in front of them. It was 50 meters wide and 20 meters high, much wider than the high-speed tunnel in the previous life.

There is light in the passage, coming from the giant mushrooms growing in the soil on both sides of the passage.

Each of these mushrooms is bigger than a human head, and the brightness they emit is approximately equal to that of a first-ring light spell.

The brightness of a single mushroom is not noticeable, but when countless mushrooms are added together, the brightness is almost the same as that of a full moon night.

After feeling it carefully, Rosen found that this mushroom was very strange. It could actually draw power from the magic ring and convert the power into stable light.

The reason for this ability is that there is a soul in the mushroom.

The soul of a living person.

Seeing Rosen looking at the mushrooms, Lisha explained, "Ghost mushrooms, each ghost mushroom has a spirit soul inside it."

"Do they have a chance to be reincarnated?"

"No, there shouldn't be any."

"Because they are either criminals who have been executed, or immortals who are completely tired of life, mushrooms are their final destination."

Rosen's eyebrows twitched: "This is a bit cruel."

Lisha spread her hands. “It does sound a bit like that, but the condemned have no choice. The Immortals who are tired of life make their own choice.”

"However, if the new master in the void finds these ghost mushrooms, he will probably reincarnate these souls into warriors. That guy has a great desire for warriors."

Rosen recalled the description of the Crimson Lady and knew in his heart that Lisha was right.

As they talked, the two gradually passed through the spacious passage illuminated by the ghost mushrooms and arrived at an underground space that was deeper underground, wider, and even magnificent.

This place is very large, with a height of over 100 meters and a width of over 1,000 meters. The spatial structure has also become very complex, presenting a grid-like three-dimensional structure, somewhat similar to a termite nest.

With the ubiquitous lighting ghost mushrooms, Rosen felt like he had arrived at a huge dungeon that never sleeps.

Many elves also appeared around, of all kinds.

Because of the open space, Rosen's perception range expanded a lot, and he felt the presence of a large number of elves.

"There are quite a lot of them, and their average strength is quite strong, with the lowest being four rings."

From time to time, elves and the banshee Lisha greeted him and looked at Rosen with a mixture of curiosity and vigilance.

It was clear that Lisha held a high status in the Hare Club.

This is completely understandable considering that she once possessed a soul of 9th ring strength.

Lisha introduced them softly: "They are all members of the Wild Rabbit Club, both new and old members."

"Sister, you should be a new member too, right?"

"The body is, but the soul is not. I have been a member of the Hare Society for 8 years."

"In addition, the Hare Society has a long history, dating back five thousand years. However, the Hare Society used to be the guardian of the Glimmering City, but now it has transformed into a rebel against tyranny."

Rosen's heart was moved: "Eight years. Isn't that exactly the time when the Lord of Truth begins to return?"

In other words, once the elves were sure that the Lord of Truth had returned, they began to act.

At this time, a cute-looking female demon came over happily and greeted Lisha with a smile: "Sister~~How come you have time to come here today?"

She ran to Lisha in a flash and danced around her happily.

She suddenly cried out in surprise: "Hey~ Sister, why is your butt swollen? Which warrior did it?"

Lisha pursed her lips at Rosen beside her and said naturally, "It was Rhodes who did it. He has a magic gun."

The cute witch then turned her gaze to Rosen and looked at him curiously: "Huh~~ This little guy is so powerful?"

This kind of simple and wild question and answer was a bit overwhelming for Rosen.

He didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only stand there and laugh awkwardly.

A gloating look appeared on the cute witch's face again: "Little guy, you are in trouble."

Rosen was startled, and turned to look at the witch Lisha inquiringly.

Lisha smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, it's not a big deal."

She then explained: "My husband will be unhappy, but it doesn't matter, I will explain it to him."

The cute witch smiled and said, "If it were a normal situation, it would be no big deal, but this is not a normal situation."

"Captain Rex was very gentle to Sister Lisha, but now that you're treating her so roughly, he might challenge you to a duel."

Rosen didn't expect there to be such a relationship, but it was really not a big deal because the relationships between men and women among the elves were very chaotic.

To be more precise, all the immortal species are very confused.

Lisha on the side waved her hand: "Okay, Grace, stop scaring Rhode and talk about business."

She straightened her face and said, "Rod plans to join the Wild Rabbit Society and become our brothers and sisters. So I need five official members to witness his initiation ceremony."

"Now I am one, you count as one, I still need three more people, do you have any candidates?"

The lovely witch Grace did not answer immediately. She turned around and looked at Rosen carefully: "You are very young and your magic power is very good, but these are not enough to join the Hare Club. You need to have specific skills."

"Tell me, what can you do?"

Rosen had of course made preparations, and then he said, "I am a harvest mage, proficient in cultivating fruits, especially healing fruits."

In the Holy Elf Empire, the highest-level fruits are made from branches of life, but there are also many fruits with relatively ordinary functions.

There are also a range of fruit spells, as well as a general staff that functions similarly to the Branch of Life, known as the Life Shoot.

Those mages who master fruit spells have a special name, called harvest mages.

The elves rely on all kinds of fruits, so the harvest wizard plays a very important role and has a very high status.

Sure enough, Grace's eyes lit up: "Then how many kinds of fruits can you create?"

"About 50 kinds. I've loved making fruits since I was a kid, and I've spent almost all my time researching fruit spells."

"Oh~~ That's quite a lot. What's the most powerful fruit you know?"

"A 6th-level Firm Will Fruit and a 6th-level Soul Nourishment Fruit. Because they are one level higher than my mana, I spent a lot of effort to master them."

Grace's eyes brightened, and even Lisha looked at Rosen with admiration.

One reason is that the Harvest Mage has a high status, and the other is that the Hare will be very short of Harvest Mage.

Because of the importance of the fruit, Dritan keeps a close eye on the harvest mages and treats them very generously, much more generously than other elves, especially since they don't have to go to the front line of the battlefield and fight with others.

Therefore, the harvest mages all have a very good impression of Dritan.

To them, there is no such thing as tyranny, and naturally there is no reason to join the Hare Society to resist tyranny.

Grace's attitude became very enthusiastic: "Rod, it's an honor for you to join us. I will go and gather witnesses now."

She skipped away.

Lisha said to Rosen, "What about your sprout staff?"

Rosen looked embarrassed: "It was stolen while I was on the road."

Then he added: "But even without the staff, I can still cultivate the fruit. Of course, the speed will be much slower."

As he spoke, he took off the 'luggage bag' he had been carrying on his back, reached in and took out three soul-nourishing fruits with green shells, similar to hard-shelled kiwis.

"Sister Lisha, please try my cooking. I hope you can remember the appearance of your lost sisters again."

For him, it was easy to create this kind of low-level fruit, so he prepared some of them to disguise his identity.

Lisha took it and tasted it, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "The quality is quite good!"

She could clearly feel a warm current flowing into her mind, constantly nourishing her damaged soul, and the pain in her soul was greatly alleviated.

So she ate all three fruits in one breath, and the pain in her soul was immediately relieved greatly. Even her past memories that were blurred due to the damage to her soul were restored a lot.

Rosen's actions also deeply moved her heart and greatly increased her respect for Rosen.

From a young lower-level elf with good growth potential, he became a talented harvest mage with extremely high fruit skills, who was very important to the Hare Society.

"Rod, after you join the guild, I will take you to see Master Irina."

He explained: "Master Irina is also a harvest wizard, with 9th level mana."

"She was once an apprentice to the Moon Goddess Dora and received her guidance. She is one of the most important members of the Wild Rabbit Society."

"I'm sure she'll be glad to see you."

This was exactly what Rosen wanted, and he thought to himself: "We are getting closer and closer to the leader of the Hare Society."

He had neither the intention nor the time to climb the ladder in the Hare Club.

Once he gets the details of next year's Hare Meeting, he will immediately start to control it and, in the shortest possible time, expand it into a powerful force capable of subverting the order of the Holy Elf Empire.
