Cloud Thinking

Helia's plan was as follows: she would follow the Dagger Man into the underground palace to conduct the transaction and delay time as much as possible; Fesimia and Yoriff would take the opportunity to sneak inside to set up the wedge magic and meet up with Rebel to transfer the abducted girls away; Ronnie, Cheko and Vikes would be responsible for attracting the enemy on the surface; Elroy would be the mobile team and trigger the wedge magic after she sent out the signal.

Compared to Elroy, it was so easy to convince the others. They agreed without Helia saying anything. Of course, it was all for Helia's sake.

Except for Vikes, he, like Mobichues, was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time after hearing that Helia had done such a crazy thing. He struggled with his other thoughts in his mind for a long time before nodding in agreement. These evil people who have done so many evil things must be punished!

Elroy tracked down the magic that Helia had left behind and determined the location of the enemy's base camp, which was in a wilderness near the Sad Forest. This place was a must-go place for wars because it was close to the Sad Forest where monsters roamed. It was sparsely populated and very desolate. Even if there was any noise, people would blame the monsters. It was really a good place for killing and arson!

"Hmm, it's so big, how come it feels bigger than Claude's palace?" Elroy was feeling when he was surveying the underground conditions on the surface. He worked diligently for Claude for so many years, but he didn't save a few coins in his pocket. However, these criminals were eating and drinking delicious food here! They lived a hundred times more comfortably than him!

I can’t stand it! I can’t stand it at all!

"As long as you don't make any other noise, you are allowed to loot before the signal is sent." Helia suggested considerately. After all, even she would be tempted by such a large amount of money.

"Come on, I won't feel at ease even if I take this money." Elroy unexpectedly had an upright side. He would not take a penny of ill-gotten gains, which made Helia look at him differently.

"Since I can't take it with me, I'll just burn it and bury it with these people." Helia joked. Since I can't take it with me, don't even think about getting a penny of benefit from it, just burn it and bury it all!

Elroy took Helia on a long walk in the wilderness, stopping at every spot to survey the ground and draw a map of the entire underground palace. Although the other party had set up anti-spying magic, in the eyes of Elroy, a ninth-level magician, it was not a big deal and he could get around it in a few minutes.

"Who are you going to ask to do this job if it's not me?" Elroy asked casually as he drew a map on the vellum with a pen in hand.

"Feishumia, she's good at tracking and surveying magic. Although her level is not high, she's at least better than me." Helia said truthfully.

"Is she a first-year student like you?" Elroy had never seen her, but he had heard Helia mention her. As a member of the mobile team, he naturally had to know who his teammates were. Otherwise, what would he do if he accidentally injured them?

"Yes, but I feel that she is not a beginner in magic." Helia actually still had doubts about Fesimia's identity. The other party deliberately concealed her origins, but Helia did not ask any further questions because she thought it would not affect their cooperation.

"Do you want me to give you a try?" Elroy asked.

Helia shook her head, "It's not necessary. Knowing many things will only cause more trouble for me." To her, as long as Feshiomia didn't betray her, it didn't matter. Her sister Rebel was still in the hands of those people. At least before Rebel left, Feshiomia and she had the same goal.

"Well, little princess, just know what's going on!"

The plan was to be implemented three nights later. At this time, a whole week had passed since the day when the Dagger Man brought her to the base camp to see the goods. Helia's excuse was that she was going to raise money and prepare information about the mine. The Dagger Man did not doubt it, because many customers asked to postpone the date before receiving the goods because they could not raise enough money. After all, the Earth Princess always wanted to bite a big bite of the customer's meat when negotiating business.

The local princess is good at judging people by their prices. She never makes a price based on the value of the goods, but on how much money the customer has, which is why she needs to do background checks on potential customers in the early stages. She usually makes a price that will make the customer bleed but not die. She will not make the customer turn around and leave, nor will she let the customer get a bargain. She usually makes the customer pay with gritted teeth.

Princess Tu read the mine information provided by Helia, and the more she read, the happier she was. She thought it was a place with garbage mines, but she didn't expect it to be the most valuable gold mine! Moreover, the output is not low, and the profit is very high. It must be worth one million.

"I didn't expect you to have such a mountain of gold that can make money. I underestimated you." Princess Tu thought that she had quoted a low price. If she had known that Helia had a mountain of gold, she should have quoted a price that was 500,000 higher at the beginning.

"I told you I won't let you down." Helia just smiled, "So can you bring the person to me now?"

The Earth Princess waved her hand, signaling the Dagger Man to go and fetch the person. Because of Helia's instructions, the Dagger Man had someone take good care of Rebelle these days. Not only did he change her to a spacious and clean room, he also provided her with good meals every day, and he also called a doctor to check her wounds. He applied scar removal medicine every day, just to satisfy Helia.

But on the other hand, in order to prevent Rebelle from escaping, the surveillance on her was significantly strengthened. Specifically, two guards were assigned to guard her door, and patrols in the corridor where her room was located were more frequent. However, these were not a problem for a magician who was good at transfer magic.

Because she moved to a new place, she had to familiarize herself with the environment again and contact the girls who were abducted like her to determine their location. Since they were all held in solitary confinement, it was quite difficult to find them.

The moment Helia entered the underground palace, Rebel received the signal that the opportunity she had been waiting for had arrived. If she missed this opportunity, she would fall into hell forever and never return. She took out the small magic wand that Helia had brought her. Because of Helia's instructions, those people did not take away her magic crystal earrings and the magic wand that pretended to be a decoration for fixing her hair, which gave her the opportunity to use magic.

She cast a spell to transfer herself to a very empty hall. This was the banquet hall of the underground palace. It was usually only used when the local emperor of the underground palace entertained important guests. Usually, no one came. This was a good place that Rebelle had discovered after observing for a long time. It was spacious and could accommodate many people, which was very suitable for casting transfer magic.

She pulled aside the reddish-brown carpet and saw an unfinished large magic circle drawn on the floor. This was something she had drawn every day during her bedtime after Helia came.

She took the magic wand and completed the remaining steps. Now she just needed to place the magic crystal at the center of the formation and use magic to transfer nearly a hundred people away at once.

According to what she had learned, there were about 150 girls who were abducted and imprisoned here. The local princess divided the people into three categories: upper, middle and lower, and imprisoned them in different places. Rebel was in the middle group, and there were about 50 to 60 people imprisoned with her. In addition, she also found out where the lower-class goods were, about 70 to 80 people. However, she had not been able to find where the higher-class goods were imprisoned.

But there was no more time left for her, she could only pray that others would make some discoveries.

At the same time, under the cover of three swordsmen, Fesimia and Yolief successfully sneaked into the underground palace, and according to their previous agreement, they went to the place where the wedge magic was set up.

According to the map drawn by Elroy, they selected a total of fifteen locations as explosion points. Fesimia and Yoliv were responsible for the seven points in the south, and Elroy was responsible for the eight points in the north.

As for the trigger, Fishumia and Yoliv only need to activate the last wedge magic to assist Rebel in leading people away, and leave everything else to Elroy.

Helia signed the agreement with the Earth Princess and waited for the Dagger Man to bring the person in. It was hard to believe that people like them who were engaged in illegal business could still talk about integrity.

But all they got was the news that Rebelle had escaped. The Earth Princess's face suddenly turned dark, and she slapped the Dagger Man directly in the face, and shouted angrily at them to go find her quickly.

Soon, the only people left in the room were the Earth Princess, who was gasping for breath, Helia, and a few slaves serving her. The room was eerily quiet. The servants knew the Earth Princess' temper very well. When the lady was angry, they must not make any noise to attract her attention, otherwise they would become a tool for her to vent her anger.

"You didn't take off the earrings I put on that girl before, did you?" Helia suddenly spoke up to break the silence. How could the princess remember this? She waved for someone to call the dagger man back.

One side of the dagger man's face was swollen, but he didn't dare to complain. When he heard that the Earth Princess was looking for him, he immediately rushed back and asked respectfully, "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

The Earth Princess looked at Helia and raised her chin, motioning her to repeat what she had just said.

"Is the earring still on her?" Helia repeated.

The dagger man thought carefully and replied, "When I saw her for the last time this morning, the earrings were still on her ears, but I'm not sure if she took them off when she ran away."

"That earring is a token of love between my wife and I. In order to prevent it from being lost during the business trip, I specially had someone engrave a positioning magic on it so that its location can be tracked." Helia looked at the Earth Princess, "Does the lady have a magician under her command?"

"Call the magician over." The Earth Princess ordered. Not long after, a man covered tightly in a black robe walked in. He was hunched over, barely reaching Helia's shoulders. The hand holding the magic wand was extremely thin, almost just skin covering the bones. Occasionally, there was a creaking sound when he walked - that was the sound of bones.

"Miss, what can I do for you?" As soon as the magician opened his mouth, the princess frowned. The reason was that the other party's voice was like a crow, which was particularly unpleasant. Not to mention that he was dressed like this, which made people want to stay away from him. The princess never liked him and would never take the initiative to look for him on weekdays.

"Track someone for me. You bitch, how dare you run away just because you're itching for trouble." The Earth Princess cursed with gritted teeth. Judging from her fierce look, if Rebelle had not been bought by Helia, the Earth Princess would have skinned her alive once she caught her.

"The earrings I gave to that girl have a positioning magic. You should be able to find them quickly using magic tracking." Helia took out a scroll from her arms, on which was recorded the magic engraved on the earrings, and handed it to the magician.

The magician took the scroll silently, unfolded it and glanced at the contents, then looked up at the Earth Princess. His large hood slid back slightly with his movements, revealing his deformed face. "Miss, you can track him."

"Then do it quickly!" Seeing that face, Princess Tu was inexplicably angry, and her shout was much sharper than before.

"Yes." Sensing the Earth Princess's anger, the magician reached out and grabbed the edge of the hood and pulled it down hard, as if he knew that his face made people feel uncomfortable.

He spread the scroll on the table, stepped back, held the wand in both hands, put the tip against the magic recorded on the scroll, and muttered a spell. As soon as he finished speaking, two lights flashed on the tip of the wand and the scroll, one was the green light on the scroll, and the other was the white light on the tip of the wand. The two lights blended with each other and finally condensed into a ray of light, pointing in a certain direction.

"Just follow the light and you will find her location." The magician put down his wand and pointed at the guiding light.

Seeing that the people around her were not moving, the Earth Princess shouted, "Hurry up and leave!" Everyone in the room immediately left, fearing that if they stayed, they would be used as targets of the Earth Princess's venting of anger, so they left very quickly.

Only the Earth Princess, the magician and Helia were left in the room. The Earth Princess impatiently tucked her hair behind her ears, walked to the soft sofa and sat down, crossed her legs and leaned back, placed her arms on the back of the sofa, tilted her head back, and sighed deeply.
