But such results did not seem to satisfy the Fire Elemental Archon who arrived.

Her suspended body continued to move forward, and the flaming sword in her hand drew a complex trajectory in the air.

The Skeleton Knights' horses seemed to sense the energy contained in the flaming sword, and the soul fire wrapped in the skeletons flickered uneasily.

“Huh~”

The flaming sword slashed across the body of a skeleton knight. There was no sign of any strength contest between the two sides, but the skeleton knight and his horse were instantly cut into two pieces.

How can this be called a flaming sword? It's more like a laser sword!

"The enemy is strong! Retreat!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, a skeleton knight tried to escape.

The undead cannot feel fear, but their reason can weigh the gains and losses.

The mission they were trying to accomplish by sneaking across the river had not been successful, and if they died here, it would not do any good to the Emerald Claw's plan.

But this druid who transformed into the Fire Elemental Archon is not easy to deal with. She does not allow enemies to come and go as they please!

Astonishing flames erupted from the materialized elemental body, and she used the propulsion of the flames to increase her speed several times.

The flaming sword that had concentrated astonishing amounts of heat had now transformed into a sickle for harvesting. Every time the Fire Elemental Archon passed through the gaps in the Undead Army, a group of Undead would fall.

After about six rounds of going back and forth, there were no more undead left standing at the scene.

"Clean up the battlefield!"

Back at the intersection of Hongye Township, the body of the Fire Element Archon quickly changed into a human woman with a stern expression.

Her neat red high ponytail fell to her shoulders. Her height of at least 1.8 meters and well-proportioned figure made her look exceptionally heroic.

The visitor was Carl's great aunt, Diana Iris.

"Hope! You were so embarrassed just now! You need to practice more when you return to the academy!"

Her gaze stayed on Karl for a brief moment, then Diana looked at her apprentice and arranged extra training for her after she returned to school.

"Yes! Master!"

Like a soldier in a military camp responding to his superior's orders, Hope straightened his body and answered with his head held high.

"Well, long time no see, Aunt Diana..."

Intimidated by his aunt's aura, Carl took off his helmet, exposed his head, and greeted the other party.

He had been somewhat afraid of this aunt since he was a child.

"Huh? Carl? Oh! That's right! Hope is your friend. What are you doing here?"

After hearing Diana's question, Carl told her his group's original plan truthfully.

He thought Diana would scold them for being playful and naughty, but Diana just nodded and said nothing.

"Why is my aunt here in my hometown?"

Seeing that the other party stopped talking, Karl subconsciously made small talk.

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he wanted to slap himself.

"Your dear grandma urged me to get married, so I went back to my hometown to hide away. It just so happens that it's time to tidy up the farm here."

Diana bluntly stated the reason for her return. Although there was no change in her expression, people around her could hear the annoyance in her words.

Now, no one dared to speak.

After dealing with the debris left by the undead, Diana asked Carl and others about the place where the Skeleton Knight was found, and then took people to put out the fire.

After that, they also searched along the Venern River, trying to find traces of the Skeleton Knights coming ashore.

But for now, these have nothing to do with Carl and the other three.

After returning to the city, the three of them served as witnesses and together with the ranger, reported the Skeleton Knight's attack to the City Hall.

What surprised them a little was that not long ago, another group of Skeleton Knights attempted to attack the city of Vana.

Before Carl and his men came back, the ranger troops in the city had just repelled them.

…

Coming out of the city hall, Carl licked a candy ball made of maple syrup while analyzing the situation with Hope and Lisanna.

"The number of those Skeleton Knights is much greater than we thought. It is said that creating Undead Warriors and Skeleton Knights requires a special ritual, and it can only be performed in the Manifestation Area of ​​the Mabel Plane."

Although the planet Eberron is located in the universe and the other planes are isolated outside the vast universe, the power of those planes still manifests itself in certain specific areas of Eberron.

For example, the plane of Mabel, the land of the dead. In addition to certain areas of the Kingdom of Karrnath, it is said that there is also an area inside the Qiyun Forest of Eluden that is closely connected with it.

"Why think so much? If they dare to attack us, we will beat them up!"

Lisanna waved her fist and spoke seriously.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she became dejected.

"But the Ranger Corps will not give them this opportunity, especially since the muskets produced by Karl have already been put into service."

Lisanna kicked the stones on the street with tears in her eyes, looking very sorry that she couldn't kill the undead with her own hands.

"Don't be sad, how about I take you to the Adventurer's Guild to take on some quests and practice?"

The education of children should vary from person to person, and Lisanna is obviously not a character who can stay calm and do homework at home.

Carl stopped and pointed to the Adventurer's Guild not far from the City Hall and asked Lisanna for advice.

"Yes! Yes..."

With her head bobbing up and down like a praying mantis, Lisanna quickly agreed to Carl's proposal.

Her idea is simple, as long as she doesn't have to do homework, she will be happy.

This reminded Carl of his junior high school self in his previous life. Every time it snowed, the boys in his class would be extremely active in taking brooms and shovels to shovel the snow.

Studying? How can studying be more important than keeping the campus clean?

"Then you have to be mentally prepared. At our age, we will probably only be assigned to work cleaning sewers."

As one of the few large cities in Eruden, the sewers in Vana City could not be poorly built.

As a result, animals such as slimes and wild rats began to make their homes in the sewers.

The City Hall would regularly allocate funds to the Adventurer's Association to clean the sewers. The reward was not high, but it was at least a killing mission that could accumulate spirituality.

The Adventurer's Association usually gives priority to assigning such tasks to younger professionals.

"So what! Can't you just make me an underwater breathing cap? The bubbles will filter out the bad smell!"

As long as it doesn't involve written assignments, Lisanna's mind works very quickly.

With a sigh, the three of them walked into the Adventurer's Guild.

Similar to what is described in most fantasy adventure biographies, the Adventurer's Guild is decorated like a place that combines the functions of an inn and a tavern.

Although it was still daytime, there were quite a few adventurers drinking here.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Seeing Karl and the other two coming in, a receptionist came over and asked them why they were there.

"We want to take on some missions to hone our combat abilities. Any recommendations?"
