In the camp outside the mine, there are several Burn fire pits. There are nearly thirty Anti Soldier stationed here, most of them are sleeping and resting, and the remaining ten people are sitting here to keep vigil.

Some of them were drinking and eating, while others were teaching the newly miners a lesson.

At this time, a strange figure walked out of the camp. His gray robe slowly fluttered in the firelight. His footsteps seemed unpleasant, but he walked directly into the center of the camp.

"Stop." Sylutia said, this was the last chance she gave these soldiers.

"What you are doing has gone beyond the normal limits." Her voice spread in the night. Although it was not loud, it was extremely clear.

Suddenly seeing a stranger coming out, the soldiers present were shocked and suspicious. They stood up one after another, some drew their swords, and some picked up their bows and crossbows to shoot at the girl.

I saw the arc of the pale gold sword passing through, the arrows being cut, and the attacking spears and sword blades being easily cut off by the girl's swift movement.

Within a few breaths, these soldiers lost their weapons one after another, and they couldn't catch a trace of the girl's clothes. Sometimes they seemed to be right in front of them, but when the sword was swung, it always missed a little distance.

After temporarily disarming their weapons, Sylutia took out the smoke-colored potion from his sleeves, dripped it into his eyes in the hood, and slowly closed his eyes for a moment.

Then, she raised her gaze, and the light blue and clear eyes under the hood were now shrouded in water smoke. Everything looked at by these eyes was like falling into a whirlpool, and their eyes, body, mind, and will were all trapped in it, unable to extricate themselves.

Illusion Pupil"Enhance your own illusion ability and can be used to hypnotize enemies.

After a few breaths, these soldiers slowly fell down, paralyzed on the ground, and fell into a deep sleep. They would forget everything that happened tonight, as if they had a dream that was difficult to wake up from.

As for the soldiers who were still resting in the room, some heard the sound. When they saw the hazy eyes of the water smoke, they also looked deeply into the whirlpool of the illusion and slowly fell down.

After so easily dealing with the soldiers in the camp, Sylutia turned around and walked towards the miners. She waved the blade in her hand and easily cut off their anklets and shackles. Some closed iron cages were also broken open by her.

At this time, some miners ran out in surprise, but when they saw the sleeping soldiers everywhere, they did not dare to shout. They could only nod with tears, and some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the girl.

In response, Sylutia shook his head slightly and asked them to get up.

She put away the knife, then rolled up her sleeves, a hazy ring of autumn scenery unfolded in her hands, and then put down the boxes of food.

"Eat something first. There's still some in the tank over the water."

"Thank you." A few of them who could still speak responded in a low voice, then quickly and eagerly opened the box, took out the dry food biscuits, and took a big bite.

Then Sylutia walked up to the black-haired old man who was unconscious on the ground. She looked at him, and then she barely recognized Vandhi's appearance.

It's not her fault, after all, the businessman used to be stout and had a round face, not as thin as he is now.

This change is really big. Sylutia thought for a while, took out a Healing potion from his arms, poured it into the other person's mouth, and then fed some Pure Spring Water" to wash away the Aspect Power corrosion in his body.

At this moment Vandhi slowly woke up, he was still a little confused and didn't know the situation clearly.

Seeing this, a miner on the side quickly came over to help him up and told him, "You were saved by this adult just now. Now Anti Soldiers have all fallen asleep and can't control us."

"Get up quickly and have something to eat." Although he didn't know why this girl appeared here, seeing her walking straight towards Vandhi, he guessed that her appearance must be related to this businessman.

"Thank you." Vandhi reluctantly stood up. With the help of the miner, he picked up a piece of dry food biscuit and ate it.

During this time, Sylutia looked around, waved to a few miners who were in good condition, and asked them to come over.

"You guys, take the food and go to the mine, distribute it to the people underground, and ask them to come out quickly. We have to leave before dawn."

Hearing this, several people were extremely excited. It turned out that this adult was going to take them away.

"No problem, we have to notify everyone, sir, please wait." They picked up the extra food on the ground and ran into the mine behind.

After that, Sylutia saw that there was not enough water, so she asked them to fetch water from the well next to the camp and pour it into the tank. She then used her ability to convert the ordinary well water into a special clear spring with Purification's ability.

About three hours later, the workers in the mine were called out one after another. They crowded into the camp, eating, some desperately drinking water, and some even wanted to pick up the broken weapons on the ground and slit the throats of the sleeping Anti Soldier.

"Don't kill anyone yet." Sylutia stopped them.

"They would be more useful alive."

Seeing her order, everyone present had to hold back. After all, this girl's methods were mysterious and unpredictable, and she was still their savior.

Around four o'clock in the morning, Sylutia saw that everyone had generally recovered their physical strength and condition, and nodded slightly.

"Now you follow me. If there are people with mobility difficulties, the people on the side will take turns to help carry them. I don't want anyone to fall behind."

"Yes." Although the requirements were strict, everyone present relaxed after hearing her order.

Some of the weak and inconvenient miners were carried by their companions, and then walked out of the camp and followed the girl into the night.

After they left, the weeds around the camp began to grow rapidly, and some rough vines also intertwined among the grass, becoming stronger and blocking the mountain trails.

In this way, even if someone discovers something is wrong, it will take a lot of time to find out the situation and catch up.

After a day's trek, Sylutia finally brought these people to the temporary settlement she had arranged before.

Unexpectedly, there were only 31 people there a few days ago, and now there will be more than 400 people.

After arriving at this settlement, they met up with the people who had escaped before. Now they finally knew who saved them.

"Thank you Miss Sylutia."

"Thank you, Master Sylutia." The companion on the side helped to correct the title.

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, Master Sylutia." Some of them quickly changed their words.

Although this girl looks to be only about 17 years old, she is their savior after all, and she is so powerful that no matter how much respect she has, it cannot be overstated.

After experiencing a life of darkness and darkness in the mine, where they could only wait for death in numbness, when they came out, even the most ordinary well water felt extremely sweet, and the simple crumbs of bread were as delicious as delicacies.

It was so great to finally, finally, come out of that place.

Some people even feel that they are dreaming. They are afraid that this is a fantasy before they die, so they sit in the corner and cry.

Others hugged people they knew, sobbing, shouting, and beating each other, as if only this kind of pain could tell them that everything they saw was real.

In response, Sylutia sighed slightly and lamented the cruelty of war and death, Distortion and how many people's lives they had destroyed.

In this settlement, she no longer had to hide her face. She directly took off her hood, revealing her long and silky hair. Some strands were fluttering in the night wind, and some of them were draped over her chest, showing off the girl's moving and slightly green curves.

At night, everyone ate around the bonfire and sat together. Although many people did not know each other before, after experiencing this catastrophe, they had an indescribable emotion between them.

"Where do you want to go after that?" Sylutia sat on a wooden chair and asked the miners who escaped.

"Because when I rescued you, I used some illusion abilities. They probably thought they encountered an unknown monster in the mountains instead of you escaping on your own initiative."

"So, as long as you don't go back, the lord will probably think that you all died outside."

Hearing this, the people present felt a little regretful, but even if Sylutia didn't say anything, they didn't want to go back to that city with painful memories.

Some said they wanted to go to live with relatives far away, and some said they wanted to go to other countries, but more people were confused. They had no one to rely on and were unfamiliar with the outside world.

"We don't know where to go. It's all up to Master Sylutia." One of the more knowledgeable middle-aged men stood up and bent down to ask for instructions.

"Don't you know?" Sylutia lowered his head and thought for a moment, and a strand of hair slid across his childish cheek.

"If you stay in Anti, you will be discovered sooner or later, and it is not safe." She had a premonition that there would be wars in Regas.

"I can recommend you to a place where you can avoid the war between countries, but it will also be very dangerous." She thought of the ordinary people living in the Woodland.

"However, before going there, I need to communicate in advance, so in the past few months, you still have to hide here and cannot go out at will."

"I'll understand later."

Many people were reassured when they heard that Sylutia could arrange their whereabouts. Those who originally thought of seeking refuge with their relatives also began to change their minds. After all, most of their relatives were just ordinary people, and their ability to help them was actually very limited.

After arranging their future affairs, the stones in these people's hearts fell to the ground and they slowly settled down.

In the next two days, Sylutia led them to expand many shacks and dig out several cellars in the mountain col where the settlement is located to store food crops.

Although it is still relatively simple, compared with the life in the mine before, the life here is already better than in their daily dreams.

These people are gradually settling down. They not only need to recuperate, but also need to relieve the mental trauma they suffered during this period.
