"I need a guide, come with me to the war fortress." Lorraine pointed at the officer and ordered.

The officer was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to continue searching. If they found anything, they would pull off a flare and then use their hands and feet to climb up the war fortress.

In the envious eyes of the soldiers, the war fortress slightly increased its altitude and flew forward beyond them.

At this moment, Lester couldn't care less about the cold wind, he raised his telescope and carefully searched the sky.

The officer's eyes seemed to be not full since he boarded the war fortress, and he kept looking left and right.

Lorraine had to pat him and asked: "How did you discover the lich?"

The officer stood at attention and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since we received the order from the summit, our entire province of Salin has stepped up its vigilance. Under the wise leadership of the Governor, we are fighting day and night..."

Leo waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him and said: "Speak in human language, not official language."

The officer scratched his head in embarrassment, his face turned red, and said: "Reporting to your highness, the priest at the gate of the city discovered the lich when he wanted to sneak into the city. The brothers immediately went to work with him.

When our Bishop Methos and the magicians from the Magic Association got the news, they all ran over to help.

We all had a scuffle and many brothers were killed or injured, but he still managed to escape. However, he was not having a good time either, as he was beaten several times by the bishop and President Cos.

Then, we and the people from the temple chased him all the way down to here."

Lorraine said: "Are you sure he came in this direction?"

The officer nodded and said: "Yes, sir, some mountain people have seen the lich with their own eyes."

"As long as the direction is correct." Lorraine rubbed her chin and nodded.

The officer solemnly said: "Don't worry, sir, our governor has mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians across the province to surround the entire mountainous area from all sides. Even if he ran away for a while, there is no way he could escape from us Salin people."

eyes."

Lorraine shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid that he will run away, I'm afraid that he will get into the ravine and not come out."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at the sky. He saw that it was getting dusk and half of the sun had already fallen below the horizon. Once it gets dark, the lich is likely to escape. Even under the cover of the night, in turn, the lich will be preyed upon.

Become a hunter and attack the people searching the mountain on your side.

"Master," Vera suddenly pushed Lorraine, pointed to the sky to the side and said, "What is that? It looks like a shooting star."

Lorraine looked in the direction Vera pointed, squinted her eyes and observed, only to see an unusual light.

A pinhole-like orange-red light rose into the air, reached the top and then slowly descended.

Lorraine's eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly, "Silly girl, that's not a meteor, that's a flare. Someone is sending a flare into the sky, turn, turn, turn~!"

Then Lorraine rubbed Vera's long, smooth hair and said, "Well done, the bonus will be doubled this month."

"Okay," Vera stretched out her finger to make a victory gesture, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "What if I catch the lich?"

Lorraine thought for a while and said: "Ten times, no, twenty times the reward."

"Okay~!" Vera immediately geared up and pulled out her own special wand.

Lester rolled his eyes, quietly pulled Vera, walked to the side and said: "Good apprentice, the teacher has something to discuss with you..."

At this time, the second signal bomb rose into the air. After the distance was shortened, Lorraine could see it clearly.

The War Fortress rushed at full speed to the place where the signal was sent. After getting closer, Lorraine saw a large and dense crowd on the ground, struggling to pursue forward through the snow.

The war fortress began to lower its height. Lester waited impatiently and flew directly out of the war fortress, landing among the crowd on the ground.

A few minutes later, he returned to the war fortress, pointed forward, and said excitedly as if he had been given blood: "Chase, that guy just passed by in less than a quarter of an hour. He can't run far."

Leo and Vera crowded in front of the window, searching for traces of lich in the sky. Even Catherine and the others rushed over to help.

Lorraine held the weapon in one hand and patrolled the air with concentration, saying, "How was the lich discovered?"

Lester poked his head to look for the lich and said, "The lich seems to be injured. He was found on the ground."

In the end, Vera had the best eyesight. She pointed to the mountain peak below and said, "I saw it. There, he was flying around the valley."

In the remaining light of the evening, Lorraine saw a black spot flying at a height lower than the war fortress. It quickly circled the forest as if looking for something. When it turned to the back of a mountain peak, it suddenly disappeared.

Lester exclaimed and said, "No, let him run away."

War Fortress quickly chased after it, but after circling the mountain peak, no sign of the Lich was found. There were more than a dozen pairs of eyes in the War Fortress monitoring the sky without blinking, and it was impossible for the Lich to escape from their eyes.

Sneaking away, especially from Vera's nose.

"This guy must still be here. But where did he hide?" Lester asked with wide eyes.

The young officer next to him thought for a while and bravely said, "Sir, there may be a mine down there."

"Are you sure?" Lorraine asked with a frown.

The officer pointed to the river valley below and said: "I see there is a place by the river, which looks like a simple dock. There should be an illegal mining pit here. In our Salin, as long as it is a place beyond the control of the government, such a small

Mines can be found everywhere, and you can start a gang with just seven or eight people."

Lorraine nodded and said, "Let us go down."

The war fortress landed on the river valley. Lorraine, Vera, and the young officer from Saleen jumped down from it one after another. Lester flew down directly because he was impatient.

After walking around and hearing nothing, Lester glared at the young officer and said, "Boy, where is the mine you mentioned? Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"

It was covered in woods and covered with snow, and Lorraine couldn't tell. It looked like there was a mine there.

The young officer looked at the pier, lowered his head and looked carefully at the land under his feet. He even climbed down and smelled it. Then he pointed to the withered grass on the right and said: "That direction."

Then the leader ran over, walked around several big trees, and said excitedly: "Sir, this is it."

Lorraine followed and saw a cave half covered by logs. If you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't even notice it if you walked by.

Lorraine said in surprise: "Have you discovered this?"

The young officer smiled sheepishly and said, "Well, to be honest with you, my family is also involved in mining. I grew up in a mine. You can tell the smell of the mine just by picking up your nose and smelling it."
