At this time, he and Stephana had already rushed to the original material trading point at full speed, which should be considered the base camp of the Demon Spider Knight at present.

Moreover, the two of them tried their best to avoid the patrols of the night elves along the way to avoid fighting, thus achieving the purpose of hiding their tracks.

After the two arrived at a hidden place near the transaction point, Richard took out the only remaining substitute doll from his arms. After a low spell, he transferred all four tracking marks on his body to the substitute doll.

Afterwards, Richard began to carve the ghost transformation magic circle on the ground. With smooth movements and skillful techniques, he completed the intricate magic circle in a short while.

Richard stood up and checked the array pattern carefully again. After confirming that it was correct, he took out a transparent crystal ball from his arms, chanted a spell, and began to imprint the evil spirit transformation witch array into the blank crystal ball.

After a flash of dazzling red light, the imprint was completed! Immediately afterwards, Richard performed another strange spell, and the crystal ball lit up with a white light, as if some strange energy had also merged into the crystal ball.

After the spell was completed, Richard handed over the three items, including the substitute doll, the crystal ball with the engraved spirit transformation array, and the [Mistmantle Orb] obtained from Donato, to Stephanie.

After Stephanie took the three items with a look of surprise, Richard whispered something in her ear.

Suddenly, Stephanie's beautiful eyes lit up and she nodded continuously.

After asking Richard a few questions, Stephanie looked at him with admiration and complimented him:

"Master, I just realized that although your strength is already very strong, your wisdom is even greater than your strength."

"Stop complimenting me, Stephanie. Do you have any questions about this plan?"

"If not, then you should set off early and enter the night elf base camp."

"Yes, my lord!" Stephanie bowed slightly and saluted Richard like a lady.

Just as Stephanie was about to leave, she suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, turned around and said, "Master, I think I should change my clothes, the effect will be better."

The next second, Stephanie took off her clothes in front of Richard without any hesitation, and slowly changed into a black gauze dress, and turned in front of Richard in the classic style of a senior spider woman.

"Master, look, doesn't this look more like the daily attire of a senior spider woman?" Stephanie said softly.

This immediately overwhelmed Richard, and he dared not look directly at the rough waves ahead.

"This one does look more like it!" Richard took a glance at it and nodded quickly.

"Hurry up and set off~"

Richard waved his hand quickly, signaling Stephanie to leave quickly.

"Hehe!" Seeing Richard's unnatural expression, Stephanie giggled and walked slowly towards the original material supply point outside the dense forest - the headquarters of the Demon Spider Knights at this time.

The overall structure of the material supply point is a simple gathering place, surrounded by wooden fences and in the shape of an irregular circle.

Of course, the fence here is more of a symbolic meaning, used to protect some animals or something. The real defense relies more on the witch formation carved in advance in the supply point.

But since the sudden attack by the night elves, these defensive magic arrays have been almost completely destroyed.

Inside the camp, there are seven or eight wooden houses, most of which are built along the inside of the fence. They sell different daily necessities, such as food stores, stores supplying commonly used magic materials, and so on.

Under the protection of these wooden houses, the tall wooden house located in the center of the camp was the residence of the person in charge of the original supply point.

Now, it has become the residence of Dorothy and Portia, the leader of the Spider Knights.

When Stephania's graceful figure appeared at the gate of the camp, several Demon Spider Knights on guard were stunned. They looked at each other in disbelief at the senior spider woman who suddenly appeared before them.

This. It was not long ago that Her Highness Dolores led a group of people out, so what about this gentleman? ?

However, the face seems familiar! Is it His Highness Shadra?

Stephanie laughed softly, "Why, you don't even recognize me?"

These words instantly made several Demon Spider Knights shudder. The long-standing sense of hierarchy among the Night Elves, which was imprinted in their blood, made them bow immediately.

One of the Demon Spider Knights said nervously, "Are you His Highness Shadra?"

"I'm very sorry that I didn't greet you right away. We really didn't know that you were also sent into the Norman Secret Realm by the Mistress."

Stephanie waved her hand, indicating that she didn't mind such a trivial matter, and asked, "Where's Dolores?"

"Lady Edolos has just led four teams of Spider Knights out. The highest commander in the camp now is Lord Portia." The Spider Knight replied respectfully.

“Well, take me to see Portia immediately.” Stephanie said impatiently on purpose.

"As you command, Your Highness Shadra! Please follow me."

The Demon Spider Knight immediately turned around and led the way, while Stephanie followed behind him with a calm expression, observing the deployment of the defense forces of the entire camp.

In the entire camp, including patrols, guards, and sentries, the number of Demon Spider Knights should not be less than fifty.

In addition to what the Demon Spider Knight just said, Dorothy has already taken some people away.

Judging from this, the number of Demon Spider Knights in the entire supply point should have exceeded seventy.

No wonder, none of the wizard apprentices from the three major academies in the Norman Secret Territory have been able to break through the blockade and pass back the message.

Richard, who was hiding in a secluded place nearby, was now playing with the short curved bone staff that originally belonged to Donato. This bone staff, which was only half a meter long, was officially called the [Winding Bone Staff].

Just now, Richard had used the cleansing water to completely erase all the aura on the winding bone staff, so now there was no need to worry about being tracked or anything.

[Snaking Bone Staff] A top-level witchcraft item. When the holder casts the zero-level witchcraft of summoning ghouls, the ordinary ghouls summoned will mutate into claw ghouls. At the same time, the number of ghouls summoned will increase by one.

After seeing the contents of the wizard formation, Richard suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Donato was able to summon three mutated clawed ghouls and fight against his own abominations on equal terms. It turned out that it was with the help of this winding bone staff.

Originally, he thought that Donato was just like him, and had raised his control over the zero-level witchcraft of summoning ghouls to the master or extreme level.

It seems that I overestimated him.

After playing with the top-level witchcraft prop, the Serpentine Bone Staff, for a while, Richard took out a pair of low-level witchcraft tools that looked like iron shackles - war shackles, and observed them carefully while marveling at them.

"What a clever idea! You can actually think of using the power of the witch formation to restrain the enemy's movement."

The mutated summoning staff obtained before was a damaged low-level magical weapon, so strictly speaking, it did not have the power that a low-level magical weapon should have.

However, when he thought of the word "assistance", Richard picked up a low-level magical weapon in the shape of a cloak from the side.

The light black gauze cloak was the cloak with hidden functions that Donato and a group of wizard apprentices used at the beginning.

After reading the explanation of the concealing cloak, Richard realized that Stephanie's discovery of the other party was definitely due to a bit of luck.

It stands to reason that unless there is a huge difference in strength, it is almost impossible to spot a person covered by a concealing cloak from ten meters away.

Among these three items, Richard valued the last one the most - the concealing cloak.

Because the effect of this low-level magical weapon is so amazing, it can not only hide the figure and breath of the user and all teammates within a five-meter radius around him.

Moreover, Richard had just tested it and found that the concealing cloak could cover up a considerable portion of the energy fluctuations caused by witchcraft.

For Richard, this special effect of the concealing cloak can be used in the next plan.

Now, with the low-level magical weapon, the Concealing Cloak, it can be said that the success rate of Richard's plan will be greatly improved.

Since this time, Richard transformed the souls of Donato and a group of wizard apprentices who besieged him into vengeful spirits, Richard did not call out the sleeping Crystal this time.

From time to time, Richard would observe the Demon Spider Knight's secret sentries near the camp.

Sure enough, not long after, these secret sentries seemed to retreat.

It seems that Stephanie has already started to implement his plan.

In this case, I have to take action as well.

Richard immediately waved the mutant summoning staff in his hand, and a huge green inverted pentagram wizard formation appeared under his feet. An abomination that was over two meters tall and extremely fat was immediately summoned out.

He looked around with his narrowed eyes, but couldn't find any enemy.

The confused look in its eyes seemed to be saying, "Hey! Why did the master summon me here?" Looking down, Richard handed it a test tube of bubbling purple liquid.

Richard smiled and said, "Drink it, and when you wake up again, you will become even stronger."

Out of trust in Richard, Abomination picked up the test tube, sniffed it, and poured it directly into his mouth. After smacking his lips, he felt a little dizzy. Suddenly, the world spun around, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

After a while, the Abomination lying on the ground was snoring loudly!

Richard controlled the mimicry wristband and transformed it into a silver scalpel. Based on the memory in his mind, he carefully reviewed the transformation process of the vengeful abomination.

The next second, the sharp scalpel cut open the abomination's fat belly - near the golden-scaled lizard's cave.

Gildarts's werewolf clone was now covered in bruises and stumbled as he escaped from the golden-scaled lizard in an extremely embarrassed manner.

He also understood that, for some unknown reason, Robert must have been swallowed by the golden-scaled lizard before, causing the [Mistmantle Orb] to be in the golden-scaled lizard's belly.

So, when the three of them followed with the precious beads in their hands, they not only returned empty-handed, but also lost one person in the end.

This made Gildarts very angry!

Damn beast! It’s not that he couldn’t fight the golden scale lizard, but the mission he was currently carrying out prevented him from using his trump card to fight a big battle with the golden scale lizard.

This is because once Gildarts uses his trump card, his strength will soar to that of a formal wizard, and he will then be restricted by the rules of the Norman Secret Realm. He will soon be teleported out of the Norman Secret Realm, which will lead to the failure of the rescue mission assigned by the Great Wizard Graf.

Therefore, Gildarts could only endure it for now.

Suddenly, he was shocked and a gloomy feeling enveloped his heart.

Immediately, Gildarts looked up to the northeast of the Norman Secret Realm.

He felt that the tracking mark on his child, Donato, was triggered.

This meant that one of his most cherished offspring had been killed.

This means that a very promising wizard in the Colonna family's future was strangled in the cradle.

This made Gildarts' already resentful heart, like a volcano about to erupt, almost out of control.

He clenched his fists and loosened them again! After taking a deep breath, Gildarts swore in his heart:

"Donato, no matter who killed you, I will avenge you!"

By now, the seeds of hatred had already spread in Gildarts' heart.

As for the rescue mission?

I can only say sorry. Donato is dead. What's the point of rescuing you mediocre people trapped in the secret realm?

As if he had thought of something, Gildarts took out the [Mistmantle Orb] from his arms, sensed it carefully, and found that the orb was gradually dimming.

Gildarts immediately understood that this meant that whoever killed Donato had most likely also taken the orb from him.

Then, Gildarts walked around and carefully sensed again, and found that the person holding the Donato Orb and the person shown by the tracking mark were almost in the same position! Now, Gildarts was basically certain that the other party must be in this direction.

As to why Gildarts was so cautious.

This also involves Richard. If Gildarts had not been so impressed by the thousand-mile bird chase, he would not have been so cautious this time. He would not have dared to confirm the location of the murderer after making repeated judgments twice.

Now that he had determined the other party's location, Gildarts turned around and said to Stefan, "Let's go!"

After saying this, Gildarts rushed out without looking back.

Stefan was about to say something, but gave up after hesitating twice, sighed, and hurriedly followed.
