In the elf village, the tension was greater than usual.

The wild monsters around have become more ferocious and dangerous, and the stealth team has reported these situations one after another. Of course, the adventurers in the village have also heard the news and started to check and prepare their weapons.

The thought that a fight might be about to begin was no longer out loud. There was also an odd quietness in Sergio's estate, perhaps due to the tension.

In this atmosphere, Alicia and others gathered in the hall received information from Ridley of the Secret Team, and this information was enough to shock them.

As everyone opened their mouths in surprise, Alicia cautiously asked Ridley: "Russell controlled the monsters?"

“At least, he seems to be at the center. We can’t quite tell what that means yet.”

Among the monsters that became more ferocious, they found Russell. Instead of attacking Russell, the monsters seemed to regard him as their leader.

Ridley, who provided this information, was very calm. This was just another job he had completed. No matter how Alicia and the others accepted it, it was not within his scope of responsibility, he seemed to say.

"How is this possible...Are you saying Russell planned all this?"

"It's too early to draw such simple conclusions."

As Gil asked, Sergio walked into the hall. He looked at Ridley and said, “Good job, Ridley.”

"Yes! Also, about the patronus..."

“Still quiet…nothing’s changed, right?”

"exactly."

Ridley saluted as he answered, and Sergio thought for a moment before nodding.

"Understood. The secret team will focus on monitoring the area currently in turmoil. As for the matter of the guardian, I will go and take a look myself."

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Ridley disappeared into the ceiling while kneeling. Soon, Oliver clenched his fists and showed anxiety.

"Damn it... I want to stop Russell right now..."

"We really don't have the means to deal with it on our own. We need more preparations..." Jill said, pressing her temples and closing her eyes. At this time, a young girl walked into the hall.

“Please let me help too!”

“Cessi?”

Courtney was surprised by the sudden appearance of Cece, while Cece held her wand tightly with a determined expression.

“Thanks to Mr. Courtney, I have been able to control magic. I want to verify it in actual combat. Please…please let me participate!”

Ceci bowed eagerly. Although the people around were confused, Sergio nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, her magic power is possible. Depending on the way of fighting, there may be a breakthrough."

"That's fine with me. As long as it doesn't get in our way."

“That’s fine with me.”

After Oliver and Jill agreed, Alicia smiled and said, "It's decided then. The next step is how to find Russell..."

"I have good news." Sergio's words made the six people pay attention to him at the same time.

"I plan to gather the adventurers and guards in the village to form a team to defeat the monsters. You will also be part of it. If you are lucky, you may meet Russell."

Hearing this, Oliver crossed his arms as if to show his agreement.

"Indeed... this is better than searching blindly."

“We can also get information from other teams, which may be the best option.”

"That's settled then!"

Alicia and Jill agreed, and the six decided to join the monster subjugation operation. Sergio looked towards the exit of the hall, where Dorothy had been standing quietly without knowing when.

"Dorothy, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes. I will start the meeting right away. Please follow me, everyone."

Dorothy led the six people outside, and they left under the guidance of the guards. After Dorothy watched them leave, she looked at Sergio.

"Are you going to the patron saint, Mr. Elder?"

"Yes. Although it seems calm at the moment, it is still better to be careful."

"Please be careful. I will send someone from the covert team just in case..."

“It doesn’t matter. Who do you think I am? I’m not that old.”

“…Excuse me.”

Sergio's strong words made Dorothy nod reluctantly. At this moment, Sergio suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, haven't those adventurers woken up yet?"

“Yes. Their lives are not in danger…”

"Okay. Brenda and I will look after them for a while."

"I see."

Seeing Dorothy bow deeply, Sergio quietly left the hall. He walked straight to the back door of the manor and began to walk along the corridor. He expected that there would be a lot of noise at the front door, where the adventurers and guards were.

From behind Sergio came the heroic shouts of the adventurers. They had already started to take action to defeat the monster.

The back door was naturally empty and quiet. Sergio walked towards the northwest of the village while listening to the voices of the adventurers in front.

(This commotion isn't about the Patronus...even so, maybe something else is going to happen. I always have a bad feeling about that.)

With this premonition in mind, Sergio walked towards the direction of the patron saint.

----------------

At the same time, when Courtney and six others went to fight the monster, Xu Zhen and others had already arrived at the cave where the guardian god was sealed.

Apart from them, they couldn't even sense the presence of monsters around them. In this strange atmosphere, Xu Zhen looked at the cave and asked.

“The guardian angel is here?”

"Yes."

"strangeness……"

Jacklen nodded, and Slaquichit showed a serious expression. Lim and Lopur trembled and held Xu Zhen tightly. Xu Zhen gently comforted them.

“Calm down. It’s not that scary.”

"But Master, the magic power coming from the front feels extremely strong." Lati flew to Xu Zhen while trembling. Xu Zhen turned his head to look at Lim and Lopul, who seemed a little wary.

"Maybe... you also felt that magic?"

"It's very likely. After all, it's sealed..."

"Because of the use of powerful special magic."

Just as Jacklen finished speaking, a voice came from behind. Everyone turned around and found Sergio coming over.

"Grandpa?"

"Haha, I didn't expect you guys to be here too."

This unexpected reunion surprised Xu Zhen and others.

To calm the atmosphere a little, they sat down some distance from the cave and told Sergio about their experience.

After listening to their story, Sergio nodded deeply: "I see... So you met Russell and suffered a terrible defeat. And this gentleman helped you."

Sergio turned to Jacklen. “Jacklen, is that you? You helped my acquaintance, I appreciate it.”
