Chapter 83 Red Shield, the Freedom of the Strong
Fisher's experience was correct.
With the corpses of the rotten tree people present, no monsters attacked the camp during the beast tide.
The beast tide passed in three days.
Dorothy began allocating attribute points to basic elemental magic.
She did not forget her original intention.
Just like the question Elor asked a couple of days ago.
On the night Dorothy defeated the Tree Spirit, Elor asked curiously, "Dorothy, you're already a high-ranking warrior, why do you still need to learn magic?"
Dorothy's reply was: "Because melee is my life, magic is my true calling."
"Besides, my dream is to become a magical girl, so of course I have to learn magic!"
Elor didn't know what a magical girl was.
However, she supports Dorothy's strength.
Leons' understanding of magical girls is: "Magical girl? Dorothy is a magical girl now, so when you grow up, will you stop being a girl and become a witch?"
Who knew that Dorothy would react like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when she heard about the witch and the other two.
"Don't confuse magical girls with witches!"
"Besides, calling her a witch is so unlucky, it feels like she's about to glow and radiate heat at any moment."
"..."

Only a month has passed, and Dorothy's stats have changed significantly since she left the City of Apprentices.
Fisher led Dorothy and the other two into the depths of the Gritwood Forest.
We encountered several more campsites along the way.
However, these camps were all intact and had not been breached like Fisher's camp.
This indicates that the Tree People did not come from the depths of the Gritwood Forest, but from somewhere else.
To this, Fischer simply smiled and said, "During each beast tide, there's a very small chance that some magical beasts in the forest will break through from the second tier to the third tier. Alas, I was just unlucky to run into one."
She takes this kind of thing in stride.
The path through the Toughwood Forest was not easy, but with Dorothy, a high-ranking warrior, protecting them, they reached the Red Shield's camp in just one day.
When Dorothy and her companions arrived, the Red Shield camp was clearing away the corpses of monsters.
Some of them recognized Fischer.
"Oh, isn't this Fischer? Why isn't he in his own camp dealing with the monster corpses, but instead has come over here?"
"Aren't you afraid your men will take all the valuables? Hahaha."
All around, a variety of malicious laughter erupted.
Fisher didn't care at all.
"That's just small change. Today I've brought a distinguished guest to see Boss Red Shield."
The laughter around them stopped after Fisher said that.
Dorothy could feel many malicious eyes sweeping over her.
After a brief silence.
"Honorable guest..."
"Since you're an acquaintance, I can let you in. You know, during these special times, people aren't allowed into the camp. The boss is still in the middle tent."
The other person gestured towards the camp, indicating that Fischer should lead them inside.
Fischer said softly, "Let's go inside."
The four slowly walked into the camp.
The eyes of those people outside never left them.
The focus is particularly on Leonce and Elor.
Fisher cautioned, "They treat you like commodities, huh?"
Her tone was mocking.
If they knew that among the people they were observing were high-ranking warriors, those people would probably be terrified.
The Red Shield camp is very well preserved.
Apart from some damage to the walls, the inside was clean and tidy.
And it didn't have any strange taste.
Led by Fisher, Dorothy and her three companions stood outside the tent where the Red Shield was located.
"Boss, I brought some guests to see you." Fisher immediately put on a fawning expression.
"Come in," a somewhat weathered voice came from inside the tent.
Fisher then lifted the curtain and went inside.
After Dorothy entered the tent, she saw a burly man with half-white hair and beard sitting imposingly on a wide wooden chair at the far end of the tent.
After the group entered, the first thing the other party did was to look at Leonse.
"Oh? A high-level mage dares to come to a place like this? Looks like they're quite capable?"
He was just about to ask them why they had come.
But the next moment, his intuition, honed through a lifetime of battles, instantly sent a sense of danger through him.
What gave him this feeling was Dorothy, who appeared short and unremarkable.
Red Shield narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining Dorothy, and then he sensed the faint traces of magic emanating from her.
"Interesting... What's your purpose in coming here?"
A high-ranking mage, plus a brat who makes him feel threatened.
He's no ordinary person by any measure; he doesn't take any of those roundabout ways anymore.
Fisher remained silent throughout, and took a step back.
She has no right to speak here.
Dorothy held up two fingers.
"First, I would like to meet the Dark Elves."
"Second, about a month ago, a boy named Kane should have come here. I want to know where he went."
Red Shield raised his hand and touched his gray beard.
In his view, although Dorothy said two things, her real purpose was actually the second one.
"Kane? I vaguely remember him, but he's most likely already left the Forest of Grit."
"Hmm?" This answer was somewhat unexpected for Dorothy.
If Kane comes here, shouldn't he go deep into the Toughwood Forest, have a happy encounter with the dark elf lady, and develop various bonds with her?
Why did you leave so soon?
"He just came to confirm some things with me. I told him, and he left," Red Shield replied truthfully.
Dorothy frowned slightly. "Didn't he communicate with the dark elves?"
Red Shield shook his head. "No, and the Dark Elves are very hostile to the outside world. Even if you want to see them, they are unwilling to communicate with us."
"If you want to communicate with them, you'll have to wait about ten days. They should come out and exchange supplies with us then. You can try it then."
Dorothy turned to look at Elor and Lyons.
Elor frowned. After hearing that Kane had left, she wanted to continue asking about Kane's whereabouts.
But she hesitated, after all, Kane had thrown away the communication ring, which clearly meant he didn't want them to follow.
Leona simply nodded slightly to Dorothy, indicating that it was up to Dorothy to decide.
So Dorothy said to Red Shield, "Then let's live here for a while. I don't think you'll mind, Uncle."
Red Shield was completely unconcerned. "Of course, it's the freedom of the strong."
