Although Galuru did not get the gold he wanted, he also got a backpack full of magic nuclei. Su Han was willing to exchange his gold coins with him. In the end, Galuru finally got the gold coins he wanted the most.

“Princess, since you have already said goodbye to the underground, what are your plans?” Su Han asked as he said goodbye.

Galuru shouted, “Don’t call me Princess!” He patted his bag of gold coins and said proudly, “To tell you the truth, I’m actually just a knowledgeable PhD in engineering. You can’t even imagine what I can create.”

Su Han chuckled and said, “Then I’ll tell you the truth. I’m not only a mage, I’m also a witch. You can’t even imagine what I can create!”

The two bragged to each other for a while, then waved goodbye.

Galuru said that he wanted to use these gold coins to explore the human world and make a name for himself. Su Han did not tell him that the first reaction of humans when they saw goblins was to lock them up and sell them.

Su Han thought that perhaps they would meet soon.

He took a short rest and walked down the mountain.

…

“Lady Vivian, your injuries are getting worse.”

In the forest, the people of Leiluo City were resting in a temporary camp with pain and fatigue. There was a bonfire in the empty space, and everyone looked tired.

They did not wait for His Highness.

Vivian was sitting in the tent, and the mage girl was wiping her wounds with water.

Vivian had taken off her hood. Her hair fell down like a golden waterfall, covering her white back.

Her body was full of scars, old and new, burned by magic, and torn by sharp blades.

These scars were her life’s experience, and also a lesson from the battlefield and war.

It was these scars that allowed her to climb to her current supreme position in just a short ten years.

“Anna, you go and rest.” Vivian put on a mask. The expression on her face had not changed since she left the canyon.

The mage maiden named Anna was very worried, but she still nodded and walked out of the tent.

No one noticed.

In the forest dozens of meters away from them, a pair of eyes were spying in the dark.

Dark One, the leader of the Shadow Raider Organization.

A tier-4 assassin who was proficient in assassination and moving forward. To a mage, an assassin was their natural enemy.

From the moment Vivian and the others left the valley, he had been secretly observing from afar. He was very patient. As an assassin, he could not lack patience.

Now, he could at least confirm that Vivian was seriously injured.

This was the best way for him to destroy her.

“I have added a paralyzing potion into the water they drank. Now, I’m just waiting for the potion to take effect!”

Dark One observed the people of Leiluo City.

Late at night, the potion took effect and everyone fell asleep.

He entered the shadow stealth mode and passed through the sleeping people of Leiluo City to Vivian’s tent.

In the dark, he could see Vivian lying in the tent, motionless.

“My special paralyzing potion… Even amongst tier-5 masters they will lose the ability to move.”

Without any delay, he quickly came to Vivian’s side. The dagger flashed and pierced into Vivian’s neck.

But in the next moment, he opened his eyes wide and saw Vivian’s body slowly disappear from the ground.

“Substitution spell?”

He quickly stood up and spread out his mind power.

“As expected of the Great Mage Vivian. She even set up a restriction after resting. I was careless. But you were drugged by my paralyzing potion. I think you won’t be able to run far!”

Automatic triggering magic was a very high-level magic that required the caster to have extremely strong mind power.

Apart from being used in traps, this kind of magic was also used for defense. This was also one of the most advantageous weapons for a mage to fight against the current situation.

Casting a spell on oneself in advance, as long as it was attacked, could be triggered immediately.

Vivian’s substitution spell was this type of spell.

The forest was dark. Vivian was panting as she leaned against a big tree. There was a thin mark on her neck, and dark purple blood was flowing out.

The substitution spell saved her life, but because her body was seriously injured, the substitution spell was delayed by 0.01 seconds and almost killed her on the spot.

Because she used her strength again, the wound on her chest that had been cut by the puppet girl once again bled and dyed her clothes red.

…

Late at night, in front of a bonfire.

Su Han was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding a wrench as he read the introduction to the demonic path. He was carefully repairing the wounds on Little Purple’s body. Around him were a large number of puppet parts that had been picked up from the valley. These parts were of the same model as Little Purple… Back in the valley, they had fought with the Earth Dragon. As for the result, Su Han did not know.

Magic nuclei above rank-5 were very rare, and these demonic puppets could only display their ultimate power if they had high-level magic nuclei.

Obviously, when they faced the Earth Dragon back then, they did not carry magic nuclei above rank-5.
