Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

The four men pondered for a long time in their tent, but still couldn't figure out the key point. Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Mosen decided to let them go back to rest first, and then find the person the next day to ask them directly.

General Luo was very satisfied with the decision, and General Song and Ji Mohan also praised his brilliant suggestion. He was bombarded with compliments, completely immersed in a sea of ​​sweet talk, and even slept better than usual that night.

The next morning, as soon as Chu Qiuchi and his party arrived at Ji Mohan's camp, they were taken directly to Ji Mosen.

Inside Ji Mosen's tent, General Luo and General Song had already arrived. Seeing them there, the men exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled, but still respectfully bowed to them.

Ji Mosen, who was at the head of the table, coughed twice and said, "Ahem, Minghui, you suspect that Huo Heng is not dead, is that right?"

Puyang Minghui's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned to look at Chu Qiuchi.

When Chu Qiuchi heard Ji Mosen ask this question, she knew he had begun to suspect them. However, she had no intention of hiding it anyway, so she nodded slightly to Puyang Minghui.

Seeing this, Puyang Minghui organized his thoughts and said, "Yes, Commander, we do indeed suspect that Huo Heng is not dead."

Upon hearing this, the generals immediately sat up straight, their expressions turning serious. Ji Mosen's expression also became slightly grave. "Why do you suspect he's not dead? Have you discovered something suspicious?"

"Yes, we've discovered a common misconception. When objects fall in the mind's eye, everyone instinctively assumes it's because someone has died. But in reality, besides death, mind control skills could also be responsible for this."

General Song suddenly realized, and before Puyang Minghui could finish speaking, he immediately continued, "So, if Huo Heng had been surrounded and seriously injured first, he would have been easily controlled, and the things in his mental space could have been taken out. In this way, the illusion of his death could have been created."

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: New brains are definitely more efficient; they work so fast. These people's thinking is still somewhat rigid.

Ji Mosen and his son Ji Mohan nodded thoughtfully.

A knowing glint flashed in General Luo's eyes, and a simple, honest smile appeared on his face. "I told you it would be better to just ask them directly, and here we are, we found out right away."

General Song shook his head and chuckled, then patted his shoulder. "Yes, you're right!"

Ji Mohan was silent for a moment, then his expression became somewhat agitated: "If he really isn't dead, then all of this makes a lot more sense. I even suspect that the mutated beast that Qiu Chi and the others found before might have been deliberately released by him. Perhaps he is using this subtle way to ask us for help."

A look of excitement gradually welled up in Ji Mosen's eyes, and his body began to tremble slightly. "If he really didn't die, then hasn't he been imprisoned all these years?" As he spoke, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes. "It's all our fault. We ruined him!"

“Father, we should immediately organize a team to search the Aris Forest. We must dig three feet into the ground to rescue him. By the way, if he is imprisoned, his family will probably be under surveillance as well. We should send people to investigate as well; perhaps we can find something.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Mosen quickly replied, "Alright, alright, his family should still be in Luoshui City. Han'er, I'll leave this matter to you. As for the Aris Forest, I'm afraid General Luo and General Song will need to make another trip!"

"Yes, father!"

"Yes, Commander!"

As Chu Qiuchi and his companions listened to the conversation between the generals and commanders, their doubts deepened.

Chu Qiuchi couldn't help but ask, "Commander, what does this distress call mean? And you've already confirmed it?"

Ji Mosen excitedly stood up and paced back and forth: "Qiu Chi, you might really be right this time. The magic rune cores of those mutated beastmen that we found yesterday were all ethereal inside. We suspect that this was done intentionally by someone who was helping the beastmen research mutation potions. If Huo Heng hadn't died, I believe he would have been capable of doing something like this."

As he spoke, an admiring look appeared on his face. "He is an exceptionally intelligent man with an indomitable spirit. The beastmen forced him to do this, so he will definitely find a way to retaliate."

Then he sighed again, his face full of regret: "Alas, perhaps he has asked us for help countless times over the years, but we just didn't notice."

"Xingyao, judging from what the commander said, this Huo Heng seems to be a man of high moral character. Why don't you tell the commander and the others about your findings?"

Nalan Xingyao nodded slightly upon hearing Chu Qiuchi's whisper, then said, "Commander, generals, we have another suspicion. More than twenty years ago, the Holy Maiden's child was affected by an unknown potion, causing her intelligence and physical condition to stagnate at the age of eight. The source of this potion remains unknown, and we suspect it may be this mutated potion."

"Especially since you just mentioned that this potion can make the inside of the beast race's magic rune crystal core become ethereal. This characteristic makes me think that it is more likely that these two potions are the same. If they really are the same potion, then it was already invented more than 20 years ago. Combined with the timing of Huo Heng's accident, all of this seems to make more sense."

After hearing her words, General Song laughed heartily, “Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young! You little ones are truly remarkable, managing to connect all these clues and analyze them in a very reasonable way.”

Ji Mosen slapped his forehead. "This might be the first signal Huo Heng sent us, but unfortunately no one understood it back then. No wonder we couldn't find the source of this potion later; we never imagined it was something the beastmen made."

General Luo finally spoke, "Hearing what you've said, all the clues seem to suggest that Huo Heng might not really be dead. Let's act quickly and rescue him as soon as possible."

Ji Mosen nodded quickly. "Alright, both generals, act swiftly. Lead your men to scout the Aris Forest first. Be careful to remain hidden and avoid alerting the enemy."

After General Luo and General Song left, Ji Mohan remembered that he still had something to ask. "Qiu Chi, what did you want to see me about this morning?"

Chu Qiuchi took out the fake potion she had made and handed it to Ji Mohan. "General, we have finished making the fake potion. We gave it to you this morning." As she spoke, she took out the real mutation potion.

Ji Mosen and Ji Mohan burst into laughter upon seeing the two almost identical bottles of potion.
