Chapter 25 - Mirror

Chapter 25 Mirror

These thorn trees grew crookedly on the ground, their heights uneven, but every one of them was covered in thorns.

The length of the random thorns ranged from a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters. If someone was blind enough to bump into them, they would definitely be pierced with a few bloody holes.

Usually, the commoners of Young Eagle Town would not come to this dangerous place. Even though the lumberjacks of the East Eagle Lumberyard were experienced, they were still very energetic as they shuttled through the forest.

Their movements were exaggerated, but they dodged the obstacles accurately. They did not want to return with injuries.

However, when Reiter saw that the lumberjack was shifting his position, his posture was very strange. Some bent their backs, some bent their knees and moved. Some bent to the right like a double curve, and their movements changed quite quickly.

In order to avoid the random stabs, they had no choice but to change into a strange posture after taking two steps.

Seeing this scene, the scene of the special agent in the movie transmigrating through the infrared mechanism appeared in his mind. It had to be said that it was indeed a little similar. He shook off the strange thoughts and looked again. After counting, they had already dug more than 30 small pits in the forest.

At this moment, another lumberjack in the forest moved and lay on the ground. He crawled forward with one hand on the ground, attracting Reiter’s attention.

The lumberjack, who had been facing away from his line of sight, stood up after dodging the two thorn trees that were placed together in the shape of a human. He scanned the ground as if he was choosing a suitable place to dig a hole.

He was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket that was resistant to dirt. He had a familiar face. It was Kurtin.

However, Reiter’s focus was on the mirror in his hand. The mirror looked dirty from afar, it was covered in mud.

However, from the shape and some details, Reiter could still recognize that it was a mirror. Moreover, the back was brightly colored. Even with the soil suppressing it, it could not block out the original colorful color.

“Huh? Another antique?” Tucker, the eldest son, saw it too.

Rolling up his sleeves, he had the urge to go down and help with the work.

The previous antique had already given him a medial-class breathing technique. If he discovered a few more antiques, what kind of surprise would it give him?

Reiter glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the eagerness in Tucker’s eyes. Coupled with the way he rolled up his sleeves, as a father, if he couldn’t guess what was going on, he could bang his head against a tree.

He patted Tucker’s shoulder heavily and pressed him in place, giving him a calm-down look. Then, he shouted towards the Small Thorn Forest, “Everyone inside, listen up. Kurtin, take your subordinates and leave this Thorn Forest!”

Reiter and the others were only dozens of meters outside the Small Thorn Forest.

However, this group of lumberjacks were just ordinary people. They were in the Thorn Forest and their attention was focused on avoiding the random thorns and digging the soil. Coupled with the layers of shadows formed by the thorn wood, they did not have the energy to carefully distinguish the situation outside.

It was only when the voice sounded that everyone was shocked. Moreover, it was an extremely familiar voice.

This was especially true for Kurtin. After waking up, he stepped on the pile of soil and held a shovel in one hand. He repeated Reiter’s order at the top of his voice and waved his other hand vigorously, shouting, “Brothers, the Lord has spoken. He wants us to leave this place quickly. No one is allowed to dawdle. Hurry up and gather outside. By the way, careful of the random thorns.”

be Although he did not know what the lord’s goal was, he was right to listen.

This group of lumberjack moved quite well.

They came out from all directions and gathered around Kurtin, who was running very fast.

Kurtin also fulfilled his duty as the captain and scanned his team members. Not only did he match the number of people, but he also checked for any serious injuries. He revealed a satisfied smile and began to organize the formation before bringing it to Reiter. “Good morning, my lord. I planned to concentrate on the excavation this morning. After a two-hour mission, I discovered a new antique. It’s this thing. It looks like a mirror,” Kurtin reported. In the end, he handed the mirror over with both hands. His mud-stained face revealed seriousness and excitement.

Reiter already knew the outcome in his heart.

On the surface, he still held the mirror with both hands and scanned it from both sides. He nodded. Handing the mirror to Rylei, who was standing on his left, Reiter smiled and patted Kurtin on the shoulder. He gave a few words of encouragement before everyone fell silent. “It’s too slow to dig directly like this. I’m going to use magic to clear most of the obstacles for you,” Reiter said.

Rylei looked at his father and then at the Small Thorn Forest. There was a glint in his eyes. He could watch his father show off his skills again. The lumberjacks of the East Eagle Lumberyard were also curious. They had long heard that the lord was a mage, but they had never seen him cast magic.

This time, they finally had a chance to broaden his horizons!

Under everyone’s gazes, Reiter restrained his expression and mobilized a large amount of mental power. The magic he was talking about was actually using the power of a mage. It was a kind of magic in a broad sense.

This was because he only planned to use the affinity of the earth element to consume his mental power to control the earth element and gradually shake the land where the Small Thorn Forest was.

In fact, the magic that mages passed down was extremely complicated. It was a mystical product of excellent structure and high condensation and compression.

It was far more powerful than simply mobilizing the elements.

The ground around twenty square meters outside the Small Thorn Forest trembled slightly. Piles of soil floated in the air in blocks and slowly floated to the empty space beside it.

In an instant, he finished half a day’s work. This scene shocked these lumberjacks. The Young Eagle Town was remote, and these commoners did not dare to go out alone. Just the wild beasts on the road were difficult to deal with, let alone the magical beasts that were helpless to resist and all kinds of unknown risks.

Therefore, they had never seen this magical method before.

The supernatural powers they had seen in the past were the powerful physical destructive power of knights, as well as the combat aura light waves that bloomed when they punched and kicked. But for mages, they had only occasionally heard this term from knights. Now that they had broadened their horizons, they widened their eyes and looked at the unbelievable and magical scene before them. Then, they looked at their lord with respect.

More than ten minutes later, sweat appeared on Reiter’s forehead again. During this period of time, he had been moving the soil without stopping. He is showing signs of overloading. “Phew.” Reiter let out a long breath, and his entire body relaxed.

He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and looked ahead. The Small Thorn Forest in front of him was already very different. Because he had moved piles of soil, the roots of the thorn tree had lost their support and were lying on the loose ground. At that moment, Tucker pulled a towel out of nowhere and extended it in the direction of Reiter’s forehead. However, Reiter stopped him halfway. He rolled his eyes and pulled the towel away. “I’ll do it myself.”
