The sewer network was far too complex, and years of lack of supervision and subsequent expansion had made it difficult for Noita to find a path that would accommodate her passage.

The elderberry tree had definitely transformed the environment here. Not only had the sewage been diverted in an aesthetically pleasing way to create a path for vampires to pass through, but there were also obstacles everywhere that blocked the road.

The sound of the wind, as if it were the roar of ghosts, was endless, like the wind sweeping across the grassland, sounding continuously and was really annoying.

Noita walked around but didn't find any path for people to pass through.

She decided not to waste any more time, and with a faint glow of psychic energy, Noita stepped into the wall.

She chose a relatively weak spot and walked more than twenty steps before leaving the wall and entering the safe house.

In the darkness, she heard the elder tree's angry cry.

"Panqiu, you must send someone to pick me up immediately. The Shadow of Quiet Forest has arrived and has wiped out all my outposts. If you don't come soon, don't blame me for disregarding the covenant!"

"Help is on the way."

"You were saying that half an hour ago! You asked me to monitor the locations where the documents were hidden, and when the time came, you attracted the Shadow of the Quiet Forest and you left me alone!? The flea might have been caught by the Shadow of the Quiet Forest!"

"You were the one who modified his memory, and we both changed the documents ourselves, so it's impossible for us to be exposed. Ultimately, it was you who wasn't careful enough, and that's why you were exposed."

"Who knew that the Shadow of Quiet Forest would disguise himself as an ordinary person and ambush me!"

"You're being too careless, but how can you be sure she's the Shadow of the Quiet Forest? I have intelligence that they're still hunting down the remnants of the Bloodlust Cult."

"Because she holds the Frost Blade and can activate the Frost Blade's secret language."

Elderberry no longer had any composure and started arguing with Panqiu. Noita could even hear his breathing. He was really angry and even subconsciously used the habits he had when he was still alive.

There was a long silence on the other end, and then a response: "Teleport to another safe house first, and I'll send someone to pick you up."

"it is good."

Elderberry's voice was low as he quickly recited the teleportation spell.

Noita seized the opportunity and stabbed out with his sword.

The unexpected sword strike frightened Elder so much that he was terrified and quickly interrupted the spell. A hemispherical shield protected him tightly, and Noita's sword failed to pierce it.

Emergency force field shield.

Noita's teeth felt sore. This spell was a common one in PVP. It was an instantaneous hemispherical force field wall. At low and middle levels, it was an absolute defense that would make all warriors grit their teeth.

The most painful thing is when you are about to kill the mage, but an emergency force field shield blocks all the damage.

The force field shield was as solid as a rock, and Elder felt relieved and cast the teleportation spell again.

Vampires are born with the supernatural ability to charm and control humans, but Elder didn't think he could control a Shadow of the Quiet Forest. Their reputation scared him so much that he didn't dare to stay for long and only wanted to escape.

Blocked by the force field shield, Noita's face became even gloomier. She pointed her finger, and sharp stone thorns pierced upwards from the soles of Elder's feet, forcing Elder to turn into mist to avoid it.

Then, the earth slowly lifted up, lifting the shield, but the center position remained motionless.

Elder was horrified and released the mist to cast a counter-spell, but it was too late.

When the force field shield was raised, Noita stabbed a sword into the gap, triggering the ice explosion enchantment. The biting cold instantly spread, freezing part of the blood mist and interrupting Elderberry's spell again.

By the time the earth was completely lifted up, it was too late.

Elder's body was not completely thawed, his mouth and tongue were stiff, and he was completely unable to chant the complete spell or make the casting gesture.

Noita took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack on the restricted blood mist and ice slag. The Soul of Courage chose the enemy-breaking enchantment, causing a lot of extra damage to specific types of enemies, and directly beat the gathering elder to death.

But the vampire's tenacious vitality kept him alive, his flesh and magic stubbornly struggling against the frost. While the unfrozen body tried to escape, Noita pointed a finger, and a strong wind swept the mist back.

Noita sprinkled salt on the remains of the elder tree and sprayed holy water mist into the blood mist.

She listened to the elderberry spirit's wails, her eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

Kill the elderberry and gain 8800 experience points.

Chapter 43: A Rich Harvest

The battle is over.

Noita recounted the experiences he had gained.

Elderberry contributed a total of 15400 experience points to him. Based on the 10% additional experience point provided by warriors, he actually provided 14000 experience points, which makes him a standard level 14 enemy in the game.

The call between Elderberry and Panqiu had not yet ended. The badge used for communication was still flashing the green light indicating that the call was in progress. Apparently, when he was about to hang up, he heard the sounds of a fight breaking out in the safe house, so he eavesdropped on the result.

Noita picked up the badge, pinched his throat, and said in a cold tone: "I caught you."

"..."

After this extremely threatening sentence, no more messages came out of the communication badge and the other party disconnected the communication.

Putting down the badge, Jerori Pancho nervously analyzed the sounds of battle he heard.

The battle ended in just half a minute. He could faintly hear Elderberry casting spells, but they were always interrupted mid-cast and unsuccessful. The attacker's silent and sudden attack style, passing through multiple surveillance posts, was indeed very similar to the Shadow of the Quiet Forest, but intelligence did indicate that the Shadow of the Quiet Forest was hunting down the remnants of the Cup Cult.

And she caught us? What did she catch?

What bothered Panqiu the most was that he didn't know what intelligence the enemy had.

Panqiu only felt that a fog was flooding towards him, and in the fog was a monster with bared fangs and claws, determined to tear him to pieces.

Noita crushed the badge, yawned in good spirits, sprinkled salt and holy water all over the room, and then found a table to lean on.

Crossing the ten-meter-thick rock layer consumed a lot of her spiritual energy. Although her spiritual energy reserves increased several times as her level increased, her spiritual energy was not in perfect condition. Crossing the rock layer and subsequent battles did consume a lot of energy.

Sprinkling salt and holy water around is to prevent the invasion of evil creatures.

Salt is a very common spell material. It symbolizes purity, integrity, and immutability. It can cause irreparable damage to evil creatures, so evil creatures will most likely avoid areas with salt.

She said to Milin's familiar, "You go back first. I need to rest here for a while."

The lizard pet quickly crawled away, leaving Noita alone in the safe house.

Next to the vampire's corpse, Noita fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of sleep, Noita woke up. She was a light sleeper, and the slightest noise would wake her. However, the Elderwood safe house was truly remarkable, maintaining a constant quiet atmosphere, preventing anyone from disturbing her. The support team from Panqiu seemed to have only paid lip service to the matter, and hadn't checked the safe house while she was asleep.

The log showed that she slept for four hours and her spiritual energy was mostly restored.

Noita stood up energetically and began to collect the spoils.

The spellcasting materials Elder carried were mostly destroyed by the spell, but some of the rare items and spellbooks he carried were intact.

In the ashes, Noita found three rings, an amber with a drop of water solidified in it, and a gold headband inlaid with sapphires.

She picked out the spoils and then checked the effects according to the log description.

[Medium Intelligence Headband (Rare and Wonderful Item): This magical silk ribbon grants a moderate boost to the wearer's intelligence, enhancing their learning and reasoning abilities, helping them better navigate life. Remember, intelligence is not wisdom, and fools are hopeless.]

[Amber of Residual Light (Materials): This amber contains a fountain of youth. Drinking this tear grants twenty years of youth. Can be used to heal scars. Amber is the magic of time, capturing the insignificant residual light from time.]

[Blood Ring (Common Wonderful Item): Three times daily, this ring can transform a bottle of fine wine into an equal amount of animal blood, enough to quench the thirst of a vampire. This item is invaluable to those suffering from a thirst for blood.]

[Silver Star Ring (Excellent Rare Item): Three times daily, with a single command, the wearer can transform up to three silver coins into missiles with deadly speed and kinetic energy and launch them. The power increases according to the value of the coins.]

[Sunset Club Member Ring (Accessory): Symbolizes the identity of an outer member of the Sunset Club, and has no special abilities.]

The effects of the five pieces of trophies appeared before his eyes, and Noita frowned.

The intelligence headband works well and is a good thing that can increase computing power.

The residual light amber can be sold for money and can also save lives, and the casting of time magic also requires amber.

The blood ring is of no use to her and is scheduled to be sold.

The Silver Bullet Ring can make up for her lack of ranged damage.

The Sunset Club ring only has an identity authentication function, but it is surprising that Elder is actually a member of the Sunset Club.

The harvest was actually good, but it could have been more.

It was simply because Noita had been too ruthless, causing most of the rare items to be damaged. But she was used to it. If the game said so, she was just too unlucky, unable to find good equipment in the chests. Unless it was a truly durable item, it basically wouldn't fall into her hands.

But it’s okay, it’s a no-cost business anyway.

Noita quickly cleaned these strange objects with holy water, put the strange objects and amber into his pocket, packed up the spell book, and left through the wall.

Suddenly, she appeared on the surface. It was dusk outside, the shops on the street were closing, and she could smell the aroma of food wafting from other people's houses.

I'm a little hungry.

Noita identified the direction and walked back to Adele's house following the shadows of the houses.

She knocked on the door and soon heard heavy footsteps. Adele ran over in a hurry to open the door for her.

"You're back!"

The tall girl gave Noita an excited hug, which stunned Noita.

Brainstorming rapidly, Noita hesitantly patted Adele on the back and said softly, "I had some things to deal with these two days and met a friend by the way."

Noita walked into the house and closed the door, glancing at the journal to make sure no one had seen what had happened.

Inside the warm house, Adele shyly withdrew her hand, took two steps back, and said to Noita, "Today the Pious Union is officially established. I've rented a warehouse as a base. Do you want to go and inspect it?"

"No, I want to keep it secret. You can manage it. I trust you."

Noita sat down at the dining table. The food was already prepared, but it was a little cold.

She finished her meal without a care, then retreated to a chair to rest, leaving the dishes to Adele.

Now Noita is no longer the size of a child, but both of them tacitly agree not to mention the kitchen issue. Noita is lazy, while Adele enjoys the process of feeding Noita.

The book they had been reading before was placed on the coffee table. Judging from the position of the bookmark, Adele had made a lot of progress in the past two days.

Noita stared at the bookmark, glanced at the kitchen, and found that Adele was unaware of anything. She pulled out the bookmark and put it back to the place where they had seen it before, then lay back on the bench to rest.

After a long time, Adele came to the living room. Her eyes fell on Noita's eyelids, then passed over her breasts, waist, and stopped at the girl's ankles.

She has a very healthy and slim figure, looks suitable for hugging, and feels really good in the hand.

Adele lowered her head in thought, then why couldn't she pick her up? When hugging, Adele wanted to pick up Noita and do a short twirl, but she found something extremely abnormal, she couldn't hold Noita.

She is also a girl who has a balanced diet and grew up healthily. Although she looks a little shorter than Noita who grew up overnight, she is not completely unshakable.

Adele thought about asking Noita directly about her weight, but a girl's weight is a secret, so she didn't feel comfortable asking and could only figure it out herself.

It’s really something worth thinking about.

Adele sat next to Noita, carefully lying on her side, and fell asleep close to the reassuring source of heat.

Virtual world, gate city.

As usual, Noita waited for Roshivia's invitation and entered the greenhouse.

"Good evening, Miss Witch."

"Good evening, Meimei, what's going on today?"

“It seems not.”

"Then why did you invite me?"

"I saw you were online, so I sent you an invitation. I really don't have anything to do today. Sorry to bother you."

"It doesn't matter." Noita walked over to the puppet dragon and whispered, as if afraid that someone could hear her. "Meimei knows a lot about Serkar's affairs, right?"

Luo Xiweiya showed a helpless expression, but still acquiesced to calling her "Meimei". She also said softly: "I know a little bit."

"Then do you know the Shadow of the Quiet Forest?"

"I know they are the sharp blades of Serkar, specializing in hunting down people and things that could destabilize Serkar. From what I've heard, they've recently been hunting down some remnants of the secret cult. So, were you captured by them?"

Luo Xiweiya observed Noita's expression suspiciously.

"No, hehe, I'm a law-abiding person. I just saw the sword of the Shadow of the Quiet Forest a while ago and thought it looked nice. I wanted to know where it was made and if I could buy one."

A clumsy lie.

Luo Xiweiya saw the untruth in Noita's words at a glance.

Which good person can see the shadow of Jinglin?

But she didn't care, secretly taking note, and answered Noita's question: "No, the Frost Blade is the exclusive weapon of the Shadow of the Quiet Forest. If you are caught selling it privately, you will be hanged. This is a beheading business."

Noita said thoughtfully, "In other words, as long as we don't get caught."
