After breaking away from the Ant-Man Queen, Victor ordered Dilly and Fulgre to chase Charlotte's team. Then, he rushed to the place where Bertina disappeared alone.

The hiding spot chosen by Swordsman Todd and Blood Python Marcy is indeed secluded enough. A wide forest river has buried the traces left by the Alchemy Dragon Lizard. The plants around the river are lush and inhabited by a large number of animals. Their activities can disturb tracking.

the person’s attention.

It was not easy for Victor to find Todd's team. Fortunately, the dragon maid Mei Wen used the talent of hindsight to locate Bertina's missing point. She, Todd, and Marcy had already reunited. Victor used the information provided by Mei Wen to

According to the spatial coordinates, it took less than two hours to arrive at the scene of the incident.

When Todd and Marcy saw their master, they anxiously stepped forward to greet them, and took the initiative to ask Victor for punishment.

Bertina's mysterious disappearance is beyond the capabilities of Todd and Marcy. Victor will not blame them, but there is no need to explain to them the twists and turns of the matter. He just asks Todd and Marcy to look at it from their own perspectives.

, describing in detail everything that happened before and after Bell disappeared.

Afterwards, Victor repeatedly and carefully cross-examined Renault and Shack to make sure that their statements were correct before personally investigating the scene. Although Todd protected the scene, Victor failed to find any more clues. He

Based on Bertina's physical level, movement speed, and the time she was missing, the range of her actions was calculated. Within this range, Victor and Mei Wen searched separately, but still found nothing. Bertina seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Just the same, leaving no clues.

This result did not surprise Victor. From the moment Bell got rid of the Argonians' hindsight mark, it showed that there was the intervention of extraordinary power. And Victor's unique tracking intuition is now invalid for Bertina, which means

It seems that the characteristics of the little wizard have changed, but it is also possible that the forest environment is covering up Bertina's traces.

Todd proposed that a supernatural person exerted an extraordinary ability similar to "jungle invisibility" on Bertina. His opinion has a certain truth, but Victor is more willing to believe that Bell's self-will played a major role.

While searching for clues, Victor accidentally discovered an open-pit salt rock in a forest 60 kilometers away. This open-pit salt mine is small in scale and has a very low salt content. Although it is often visited by herds of animals, it is not sufficient.

In order to attract the monster tribe to settle down. In a human country, a salt mine of this quality would have no mining value at all, but for the Randall Expeditionary Force, having salt to eat is better than no salt at all.

Victor ordered the Argonian Mei Wen to mark the territory around this salt mine, and through spiritual connection, he ordered Dilly and Fulgeri to lead the remaining survivors across the river to gather and camp here.

This was just a trivial matter. Victor continued to expand the search area and spent a few days drawing a map in his mind of more than 8,700 square kilometers, which is close to the total area of ​​Earl Randall. Within this area

, there are often activities of several orc gangs, and there is even an abandoned furbolg lair. Victor did not alert the orcs in the forest, but he did not find any valuable clues.

Six days later, a group of people who searched to no avail finally left the place where Bertina disappeared and went to the assembly point to join Charlotte's team.

The assembly point was located in the forest near the open-pit salt mine. There were several half-cat, half-ape monsters on the lush trees. When they saw Victor and others from a distance, they let out a high-pitched roar and flashed four monsters.

The sharp white tusks are warning to the same kind, but their ferocious and ferocious appearance leaves no doubt that these monsters will jump down from the tree crown at any time and attack them.

Todd looked up at the monsters on the tree and made gestures to order them to be quiet. As a result, these half-cat, half-ape monsters ignored him and continued to roar to call their companions.

Todd had no choice but to explain to Victor: "Sir, these are the alienated cats and apes bred by Mr. Imerson... I originally thought they were smart enough, but I haven't seen them for a few days, and these beasts don't recognize me anymore...

…Sir, the alienated cat apes should be executing the alert order of Imogen Wizard. They summon their companions, and when they reach a certain number, they will actively attack us. Can I kill an alienated cat ape and inform Mr. Imerson that your Excellency has already

arrive?"

Victor smiled slightly, raised his right index finger and clicked on the alienated cat ape that screamed the most ferociously. The air mass gathered out of thin air suddenly exploded, and the shock wave generated broke the branches, and also knocked the alienated cat ape from the tree more than ten meters high.

It exploded.

The rest of the alienated cat apes seemed to be frightened, making short, sharp screams, climbing to higher treetops, hiding in the leaves, and silently monitoring the intruders.

The alienated cats and apes that came from afar also made no sound, and the noisy forest instantly became quiet and eerie.

The alienated cat apes have strong bodies and only suffered minor injuries when they fell from a height. They were mainly injured by Victor's air bombs. However, their physique, strength and agility did not reach the level of ferocious beasts. The key is that they

Victor secretly admired his behavior pattern.

The biggest shortcoming of alienated creatures is their lack of brains. These alienated cat apes can only maintain their memory for a few days, and they don't seem to be much smarter. However, they perform vigilance tasks, can restrain their bloodthirsty impulses, identify themselves and the enemy, and then issue threat warnings.

, and call out the same kind to besiege the intruders. If any companions are shot down, they will switch to hiding and monitoring.

Their combat effectiveness is only average, but they are indeed very useful. They feel a bit like the horned wolf beasts cultivated and improved by the church to Victor. But if the alienated cat apes are not really as smart as horned wolves, then their behavior patterns are obviously

It is the result of Imogen's transformation using special means. This shows that Imogen's mental body witchcraft begins to involve the soul and will side of the beast.

Not long after, Charlotte rushed out of the forest riding an alchemy dragon lizard, together with the three dragon maids Mei Wen, Di Li, and Fu Ge Rui.

The blond female knight quickly jumped off the dragon lizard beast, rushed forward a few steps and then stopped. Her green eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she looked at Victor timidly.

"My dear, I'm back." Victor showed a gentle smile and opened his arms to his favorite knight.

Charlotte immediately threw herself into his arms, sobbing non-stop, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't think much of Bell. Lila, Lila also died..."

In the past few months when she was separated from Victor, Charlotte had experienced so many things. It seemed that a few years had passed, and it was difficult for Charlotte to restrain her inner emotions when she saw the lover she had longed for. But these few

Yue's separation was short-lived for Victor. He had to meditate for several days before sorting out the knowledge on enchantment, but it seemed like only a few seconds had passed since he woke up.

Victor learned the art of enchantment from the dark elf priestess. Although he is far from being proficient in it, combined with the knowledge puzzle, he now has a very deep understanding of the art of enchantment and can clearly feel the silkiness of Charlotte.

In the eyes of the high dark elves, strong emotions are a constraint on the hearts of both parties. Charlotte's status is equivalent to being enslaved, but she has also benefited from the enslavement relationship.

Victor's high-level female knight lovers are all very independent, while senior female knight Natalia relies on Sophia. Only Charlotte regards Victor as her only support. She is both Victor's sworn knight and

His beloved concubine can certainly gain the favor and pity of the Stormrage Sword Master.

Didn't Victor teach Charlotte the precious secret of Portanos?

The emotions were connected, and Charlotte's hesitation also touched Victor's heartstrings. He held the pitiful concubine in his arms, jumped on the alchemy dragon lizard, and urged the war beast mount to run towards the camp.

At first, in order to avoid the pursuit of the War Ant King and the Senior Guard Ants, Charlotte had to order the expeditionary force to be divided into three groups, each of whom fled to the depths of the forest to hide. Waiting for Victor to deal with the War Ant King

, it is not an easy task to recall the three-person team that has been scattered. Fortunately, Charlotte is equipped with two or three alienated cat apes for each team. The Imogen wizard summons his own alienated beast relatives to disperse them.

The expedition team has regrouped. Now, except for the mysterious disappearance of Bertina, no one in this team is missing.

Currently, the core members of the expeditionary force beside Victor include Charlotte, Caligula, Priest Dane, wizard Imerson, swordsman Todd, blood python Marcy, and three dragon maids. Below are 13

A sword-wielding maid, 56 source blood militiamen, 6 elite guards, 11 alchemy militia craftsmen, 3 alchemy dragon lizards, 7 alchemy war mastiffs, 4 bear dogs, 206 alienated cat apes, a total of 96 people and 220

A war beast.

The alchemy militiamen of the expeditionary force built a camp next to the open-pit salt mine. In a few days, they built a dozen large and small wooden houses and long log houses, and also dug four reservoirs. The strong Yuanxue

The militiamen carried water from the river a few kilometers away and filled the pond, which not only solved the water problem of the expeditionary force, but also made it possible to boil salt.

More than 1,000 square kilometers of forest around the open-pit salt mine have been marked as territory by the Dragon Maid. The original owners of this forest were several adult spotted tigers, and now their beautiful fur has been made into mattresses for the new "lord" Mei Wen.

own master.

Victor is currently lying on a tiger-skin mattress with his favorite knight. Charlotte's blond hair is spread out, her long snow jade legs are curled up, and she is lazily leaning on her husband's arms, like the eyes of a green lake.

Shining with the luster of happiness and contentment, she murmured: "Did Laila really not fall?"

Holding the radiant, charming and charming knight in his arms, Victor was secretly proud and thought to himself: I really still like human beings. With the suggestion method of charm and human emotions as the basis of suggestion, the sacred object of the Moon Goddess has nothing to do with it.

So easy to distort my self-perception.

He used the charm technique on Charlotte and himself to comfort each other and enjoy the tenderness. At the same time, he also strengthened his recognition of human identity, which basically solved the disadvantages caused by the growth of spiritual power.

In fact, there is a greater risk in using the suggestion method in charm to distort the soul's will. When there is a conflict between cognition and reality, the person's soul and will may collapse. However, Victor targeted himself and Charlotte.

There is nothing wrong with hinting at the feelings between them.

Charlotte's gratitude, infatuation, and admiration for Victor are not a matter of a day or two. Victor analyzes his inner feelings and must admit that his love for Charlotte is mainly due to a man's sympathy, possessiveness and vanity.

heart, lacking equal mutual respect. However, as the power of his bloodline grew, his feelings for Charlotte also weakened. This hint of charm was intended to re-strengthen the relationship between the two parties, but it actually strengthened his human part. Because

There is an emotional foundation between the two parties, and the hint does not cause any conflict between falsehood and reality, so there are no hidden dangers or disadvantages.

Victor now recalled that it was foresight for Sylvia to drive Charlotte to desperation and then give her to him as his concubine. At first, he looked down upon Charlotte's strength and wanted to abduct Gillian Qi.

Miss Boorman is her own sworn knight, but the Silver Knight has gone beyond the scope of ordinary humans, while the senior Bronze Knight Charlotte is a human woman in the true sense.

Charlotte's existence always reminds Victor of his identity as a human male, which is precisely the identity that he will gradually forget.

This time, "Tears of Freya" increased the upper limit of Victor's mental attributes by two points. It was not just a slight increase in strength, but a huge improvement. You must know that mental strength is a basic attribute that represents the element of fire and energy.

.The mental attribute has been enhanced by two points, and the diameter of Victor's blind sense has increased from 3.2 meters to 6 meters. The range of blind sense has been expanded. What about other bloodline talents? Talents such as wind movement, super sense, surge, etc. have also been enhanced.

Taken together, the overall strength of Stormrage Swordmaster is not as simple as improving by two points.

On the other hand, in the twin talent trees of Stormrage Sword Master, the human bloodline talents are inherently weaker than the elf bloodline talents, and the human bloodline has almost no active talents. They basically rely on the elemental affinity characteristics of the elf bloodline to form extraordinary talents.

Combat skills such as Rock Body, Light Body, Water Mist Soul, and Fire Heart all rely on the surging talent of the Elf blood to provide a source of power.

The bad thing is that Victor, the master of the mind, has not yet mastered the source of power, and the moon god has forcibly increased his spiritual attributes by two points. Now every time he fights with all his strength, he is strengthening the blood of the moon elf, and the blood is

Power can affect the mind and gradually change his cognition. When his soul and will approach the elf, the result will be irreversible. Victor will voluntarily give up his human blood and completely transform into a sun elf.

Victor had a more tyrannical talent but did not dare to use it indiscriminately, so he took a different approach, starting from the most primitive instinctive emotions of human beings, using his beloved concubine and lover as the target reference, and used charming hints to strengthen the human part of his will.

Neutralize the influence of spiritual bloodline caused by the increase of mental attributes.

To put it simply, Victor now needs to fully enjoy Charlotte's beauty and tenderness, regulate his body and mind, and balance his twin talent trees. When he returns to the human kingdom and is with Sylvia, he won't have to worry about the side of his will.

changes, and then slowly find ways to find the theoretical "source power" of human beings, and completely control their own destiny.

However, Victor did not know how his clever way of resisting the arrangement of fate would change things later.

"Don't listen to Di Li's nonsense. Laila is just seriously injured and in hibernation. She will come back." Victor stroked Charlotte's soft golden hair, showing affection, as if caressing his own pet.

Charlotte obediently did not ask about Laila's condition, hugging her lover and sighing softly: "Lord Nelson's whereabouts are unknown, and I lost Bertina again... This is my fault, Your Highness, please punish me.

Bar."

Victor pondered and asked: "You said before that when Bertina was outside the temple, she wished Nelson and the others a safe escape?"

Charlotte thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, Bell is a very kind child. She heard from Mei Wen that Nelson and the others were in a bad situation, and she hoped that they could return safely."
