Well, I said it, but it was almost the same as not saying it.

Now Ron's team and the water giant are 30-70% of each other - the giant hits three times and he hits seven times - not to mention chasing into the giant's hometown to find gems.

But this is also a useful piece of information. Ron and his friends bid farewell to this loyal fishman with gratitude and respect, and returned to the black dragon's lair.

"How is it, did you see that creature?" Axuri was guarding the shore, watching them curiously.

"I saw it," Ron said while putting on his clothes, "your teacher is right, you'd better stay away from him."

"Why?"

"It's a paladin."

Ron's answer was concise, but it dispelled all the doubts of the black dragon's young dragon.

What else is there to ask? Black dragons are born in the evil camp. Devin Booker did his best not to jump out and slash the cub with two swords during that meeting. As for Iczuri's conversion to Bahamut, Devin Booker could only know this information when he released the dead and talked to them - if he knew.

Who would believe that there is a paladin living under the black dragon's lair!

"In addition, we also know the whereabouts of one of the remaining six gems - in the elemental plane."

"Then I'll just find five." Ike stretched out his claws dejectedly to grab the lightning gem on Ivy's shield - fortunately Driver was watching him on the shore, otherwise the young dragon might really have taken the gem!

"Besides this, do you have any other clues?" Ron continued to ask with the purpose of "since we are here", after all, the black dragon is very close to the crime scene of that year, and it is convenient to find any traces.

"No," the black dragon shook his head, "I'm too young to leave the nest too far. You should probably ask other creatures nearby. Although the Delusion Land has never been truly occupied by humans, it is a vibrant land with many creatures living here."

"We will naturally visit each one of them," Ron nodded, "Anyway, thank you very much for your help."

"If you have anything, you can come to us, or let You pass on a message - can you remove some of its restrictions by the way? It's still scary to suddenly burst into electric sparks while talking to it."

Ron almost thought that this will-o'-the-wisp was a suicide bomb!

"Of course," Aixure nodded, stretched out his finger and tapped on You's skull, and a somewhat illusory "click" sounded, "Okay, I've removed some of the daily restrictions, but it still won't resist me and will still act according to my orders."

"I mainly want to chat and understand the situation," Ron smiled, "As for subverting you, I'm not interested in that."

"Well, I'll go find you in a few days." After being untied, You kept swaying in the air like a drunk, and it was almost impossible to maintain a suspended state, "Sorry, I... So many memories, I..."

"Then I won't bother you." Seeing this, Ron said goodbye and left. Because this will-o'-the-wisp suddenly downloaded a lot of memories before his death, the bandwidth might be a little insufficient.

Anyway, it said it would come by itself in a few days.

Without You's guidance, Ron and the other five had a slightly difficult journey back. Just as Aixure said, there were too many creatures in the forest, but in just such a period of time, the previous road was disturbed or destroyed.

After walking through the forest for three days, Ron and his friends finally got lost.

"I said we should turn right under that tree just now!" Ivy and Driver had a fierce argument, "Now we can't find the way at all!"

"We've seen that tree six times, six times!" Driver was not to be outdone, "The so-called 'road' you call is what we stepped on ourselves, when will you understand!"

"You noisy little dwarf!"

"Big stupid pig without brains!"

"Well, what do you two think?" Ron took two steps back calmly and moved to the side of Victoria and Sera.

"I've only been through jungles and swamps a few times in my life." Sera shrugged.

She was a good survivor in the vast snowfield, but not here.

"I'm a directionally challenged person," Victoria said simply, "I'm already confused now - hush, shut up!"

Victoria's sudden reminder caused the two people who were just attacking each other to form a tacit understanding. The five people quickly turned over and hid themselves, staring at the place outside the hiding place.

"Crack, crack, crack"

The noisy footsteps came from far away over the fallen leaves and mud. From the hiding place, Ron and others could see that a team of about 20 people was coming from a distance.

The other party was almost all human, and judging from the emblems on their clothes, they seemed to be from the same organization.

"Black vortex with a blue eye, do you know each other, Ivy? Victoria?" Driver had the best eyesight and could see clearly from a distance.

But Ron and Victoria covered his mouth: "Shut up!"

There were spellcasters in that team, and more than one!

Ron stared at those people with a frown. It seemed that there were three spellcasters and six warriors. The middle-aged woman leading them was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and it was hard to tell the depth.

These people were escorting prisoners of almost the same number as them. They had only a piece of cloth to cover their bodies, and their hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes as thick as two fingers. Some of them were even shackled with metal handcuffs.

In the swamps and jungles of the Delusion Land, it was difficult to walk even with the best shoes. It was definitely not pleasant to be tied barefoot. In fact, when they approached, Ron could clearly see the blood and flesh on the wrists and ankles of the prisoners.

If they continued to walk like this, if they did not get treatment, these people would basically be useless.

But now Ron was not a pharmacist, but a team leader, so he could only be patient and wait with his companions for the other party to pass and leave.

In a glance, Ron could see a trace of sadness flashing in Ivy's emerald green eyes. She was once a prisoner and it was too easy for her to empathize with these poor people.

But like Ron, as the strongest barrier in the team, she must not reveal a flaw, so as to let her companions bear the consequences.

"Bakoyannis, how long will it take us to reach the trading post you mentioned?" A man who looked like a guard looked at the middle-aged woman in the lead. "Honestly, I don't understand. Did you really believe what the elf said? Do you think there would be slaves worth capturing in a trading post?"
