Chapter 73: Abandoned?

The three rested and recuperated at the camp.

The first day passed without incident.

The next day passed, and the others in the camp stopped paying attention to the three.

【Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV14 (1/140)】

Day three.

【Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV15 (1/150)】

Leona is making disposable magical items in the carriage.

As a master rune crafter, she was unable to create powerful magical items without the right tools.

However, it works fine for some simple, one-time use items with low power.

Of course, as a consumable item, one cannot be too demanding in terms of quality.

Moreover, she faces other difficulties.

"Ugh! I failed again..."

In the Resilient Forest, crafting items is several times more difficult than outside.

Every time I finish engraving a rune, it gets damaged because of the chaotic and mixed magic in the forest.

"The production process is very difficult, and even if it is successfully made, it is unknown how many days it can last."

Leonse looked at the two magic ores placed beside her.

These two magic ores are one-time use magical items that have already been crafted.

Although it was completed, in Leonse's perception, the patterns inside the magic ore were actually being corroded.

With the craftsmanship she possesses, even if the internal patterns are corroded, the magical artifact will not explode out of control.

However, the internal magic will quickly dissipate, eventually turning back into a blank ore without any magic inscription.

However, these are minor issues, and she will be able to adjust quickly.

Lyons made the props, while Elor assisted her.

After all, both of them studied rune crafting, only one was elven crafting and the other was human crafting.

But this does not prevent the two from collaborating.

Elor was polishing the ore and adjusting the magic circle.

The two were working in the train carriage.

Dorothy, on the other hand, sat outside the carriage reading a magic book.

Now, attribute points can be used to improve sword skills.

While magic cannot be used in the Beneath the Wood Forest, reading spellbooks is still possible.

Suddenly, Dorothy closed the spellbook.

"That Kane guy hasn't made a move for three days."

He reached out and grasped the ring, sensing its movement.

The other four rings remained in the same position.

"Could that guy have been kidnapped?"

"But that doesn't make sense either, where are the other three?"

There's something fishy about this.

However, Kane's life or death was none of her concern.

Whether Kane was kidnapped or lost the ring, it didn't matter to Dorothy.

So Dorothy put the thought of Kane out of her mind and continued reading her spellbook.

Ten more days have passed.

【Sword Skill - Lion Slash LV25 (1/250)】

The two immersive magical item-making duo in the train carriage finally snapped out of their daze.

Elor pulled open the carriage curtain and looked at the literary girl who was quietly reading.

"Dorothy, how long have we been here!"

"Thirteen days? What's wrong, my Miss Elor?"

"Thirteen days! My God!" Elor exclaimed.

Ailor scratched his hair in frustration, turning his blond hair into a mess.

"Damn it, I completely forgot about Kane. How is Kane now?" Elor asked anxiously.

Dorothy shrugged. "Still in the same spot."

"Oh, that's good." Elor breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she smiled, she immediately realized what was going on.

"Wait, thirteen days have passed, why is he still in the same place? Could he have encountered danger?"

Even though Elor's mind was in a daze, she sensed that something was wrong.

So she immediately jumped off the carriage and led over the camel that was grazing nearby.

"Let's set off immediately to find Kane."

Dorothy put away her spellbook and said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, I'll give you directions. You can drive with peace of mind."

Although Dorothy felt that Kane's affairs were none of her business, Elor clearly did not think so.

She was taught from a young age to be responsible.

So after accepting this mission, although the main purpose of the mission was to get her out of the City of Apprentices in order to avoid the Rhine family.

But Elor still remembers the mission: to assist Kane in investigating and capturing the murderer who caused the death of the teaching assistant mage and the bombing in the Apprentice City.

As soon as Dorothy jumped into the carriage, Elor was already waving his whip.

"drive!"

The camel was still chewing on grass, its body already straining under the whip, pulling the carriage slowly out of the camp.

Under Dorothy's guidance, it took them half a day to reach the three rings that were clustered together.

Elor gripped the reins with both hands, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

Are you sure this is the place?

They stopped not even in the camp.

It's about 300 to 400 meters from the camp.

Dorothy jumped off the carriage.

Hold the ring in your left hand and slowly move closer to the position it provides.

Finally, she stopped under a tree.

Dorothy flipped her right hand across her magic belt, and a longsword appeared in her hand, which she plunged directly into the soil beneath her feet.

With a forceful twist of his wrist, the soil beneath his feet was ripped up.

At the same time, three rings with a metallic sheen were thrown into the air.

Ding-a-ling.

The ring fell to the ground.

Elor looked at the three rings covered in wet mud on the ground, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Dorothy bent down and picked up the three rings, wiping the dirt off them with her sleeve.

"It seems our mission partners have abandoned us."

"Perhaps we should be thankful that these three rings didn't fall into the hands of anyone else, otherwise our whereabouts would have been constantly exposed."

Dorothy said in a relaxed tone.

Elor's expression was rather unpleasant; she was barely suppressing her anger.

"Get in the car, let's go find Kane!"

Although she knew the chances were slim, Elor still decided to go and take a look at the location of the last ring.

"How dare he! In a place like the Toughwood Forest, he actually abandoned his companions!"

Elor gritted her teeth, filled with resentment.

Dorothy tossed the ring in her hand gently.

"Who knows? Maybe they don't trust us, maybe they lack a sense of security, or maybe it's some other reason."

Hearing what Dorothy said, Elor pursed her lips.

"Get in the car."

She just urged Dorothy on again.

After Dorothy got into the carriage, Elor urged the camel to move.

However, this time they were much slower.

It was clear that Errol already knew.

Kane has most likely lost the ring as well.

"When did this happen, and why?"

Elor was somewhat puzzled.

Listening to Elor's muttered words, Dorothy had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

"Perhaps they had already discussed it when they left the City of Apprentices."

"What?!" Elor was somewhat incredulous.

Dorothy held up a finger and wagged it, analyzing, "Remember when Mr. Leon told us to go out and meet up with Kane? But when we went out, Kane said no need."

"So they had already planned to shake us off back then, right?" Elor felt somewhat helpless.

Dorothy nodded and said, "That's right. After all, the three of us are magicians, and our strength in the Toughwood Forest... is just a drag. Oh, by the way, I'm not a magician, I'm an apprentice."
