Chapter 417 Encounter

Chapter 417: Encounter

The roar of Dark Crow, feeling disappointed with his friend, came from Landon’s heart.

In his opinion, although the little guy he accidentally possessed seemed to have good talent and absurd luck, he was still too superficial and did not see things clearly enough due to his class.

As the host of his Dark Crow, this shortcoming must be corrected! However, in the past two months of following Lanton, Dark Crow was somewhat surprised by Lanton's luck.

Originally, he expected that Landon would be caught up halfway through his run, and then he would have to rely on his remaining strength to teleport and escape.

However, due to various coincidences along the way, they were discovered by the enemy's search team just when they were about to escape to the border of the Kingdom of Morn.

When Dark Crow could not help but use his last bit of soul power to help Landon escape from the pursuers, a ruined ancient relic suddenly appeared and sucked everyone inside the relic.

There are many dangers in the ruins, but Landon and Leah are unharmed, and even gain huge benefits, both breaking through the ranks, while the pursuers die directly under the protection of the ruins.

It's totally off the mark.

Landon's current talent and luck have given him a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, Dark Crow is now teaching him with all his might, hoping that when Landon becomes a strong man, he will be able to help him regain his body and take revenge at the same time.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of that."

Hearing the familiar roar of the Dark Crow, Lanton reflexively shrank his neck, admitted his mistake very skillfully, and was a little afraid of the Lord Dark Crow who shared his body.

During the two months of escape, he was often scolded by Lord Dark Crow due to his lack of knowledge, and each time he was scolded to death.

But he could feel Dark Crow's kindness towards him, and all the lessons were valuable experiences that were of great help to his survival.

Thanks to Darkraven's insight, he was able to escape enemy encirclement many times.

"Okay, you'd better not delve too deeply into that constructed network. The problems hidden in it are probably very complicated and you can't touch them now."

After a roar, Dark Crow ended the topic and started talking about their current situation.

“After leaving that small kingdom, we are temporarily safe. Without the guidance of the aura, it will take them at least a few more years to find us.

But don't slack off! The next time they come, there won't be just this few people. You'd better be mentally prepared. By then, if you haven't broken through to the fourth level, you can just kill yourself.

And the elf lady who follows you is in just as much trouble as you are. You'd better find a way to deal with her before your foolish kindness kills you and your sister."

When mentioning the elf girl who was currently following them, Landon couldn't help but sigh.

He bought her at a black market auction a few days ago. Her name was Freya, and it was said that she was a princess of a small kingdom who was captured and in trouble.

Feeling sorry for her, he used the resources he obtained from the ruins to outbid the offers of several other competitors and bought her.

"Lanton, what's wrong?"

Noticing the boy's gaze, the elf girl looked over with concern in her light green eyes.

"Nothing, I...be careful!"

Just as he was about to say something, Landon suddenly sensed something, his face changed, and he grabbed the two girls and jumped back.

Almost at the same time, a bottle of strong acid smashed onto their original position. The splashing acid corroded the bluestone street, causing thick white smoke to rise.

At the same time, several men in black exuding second and third level auras suddenly appeared and surrounded the three people.

"You're quite good at running, you little rat. Weren't you trying to bargain with me before?"

A third-level black-clad man who was in the lead stood up and stared fiercely at Landon who had a nervous look on his face.

"You dare to snatch something that the master specifically asked for? Now, I won't shoot anymore, just take it yourself!"

"If you don't want to die, hand over all the money you have. The women will stay here, and we'll sell them to prostitutes when we're done playing. The men... after we're done playing, we'll take the men back, change their genders, and sell them to prostitutes, too!"

Oh no, it was the bidder he had competed with in the black market before! "Impossible, even if I die, I will not let you succeed!"

Feeling a little unsure, Landon stiffened his neck and glared at the thieves, but his peripheral vision was already searching for an escape route.

They were currently on the commercial road on the outskirts of Silver Moon City, with the bustling Silver Moon City in the distance. If they could escape into the city, these few people would never dare to openly fight in the streets.

However, what Landon could think of, the men in black could also think of. At this time, their position completely blocked the direction of escape for the men.

Gritting his teeth, Landon unleashed his secret magic, barely blocking the attack of the third-level man in black, but it was also dangerous.

His strength had just broken through the second level, and even if he still had a trump card, it was not enough to really compete with multiple third-level people. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be difficult for him to escape today.

"Everyone turns into sheep——"

At the critical moment, a spreading light green magical light suddenly hit the attacking man in black.

“Mee-mee—”

Under Landon's surprised gaze, several men in black who were caught off guard turned directly into Mandula snow sheep in clothes, making harmless bleating sounds and running around in panic on the ground.

"Are you all right—"

A familiar voice rose from his ears, and Landon looked over with some surprise.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"What a coincidence, we meet again, how are you guys doing?"

Leaning on a black cane, Avis raised his hand with a smile and greeted Landon and the other two.

He had sensed Landon's arrival long before this, and now was the right time for him to appear.

"...Mr. Vio? Why are you here?"

Landon was surprised but also a little confused by the sudden appearance of Avis.

Logically speaking, Lord Vio should still have a store in the Kingdom of Moon.

"Lanton boy, you'd better be careful. He might have other intentions towards you."

Perhaps Landon could still think it was a coincidence, but as a high-level professional with hundreds of years of experience, Dark Crow became a little suspicious.

"Why am I here? Not long after you left that day, someone burned my shop with undead flames!"

When mentioning this matter, Anvis couldn't help but show anger.

"I happened to not be in the store at the time, otherwise, someone would have to pay the price for this!"

"After the store burned down, I had no intention of continuing to run it. It just so happened that the Alchemy Exchange Conference held once every three years in Silver Moon City was about to begin, so I came here in advance to participate."

After hearing what Anvis said, Landon's expression couldn't help but look a little strange.

Obviously, the burning of Lord Vio's alchemy shop at that time was probably related to Lord Dark Raven.

"What kind of impolite thing are you thinking about? Idiot! Maybe it was an accident?"

The roar of the Dark Crow came from Lanton's heart again, but it seemed a little lacking in confidence.

"Has Leah's crystal disease healed? Also, I wonder who this lovely elf lady is...?"

At this moment, Avis's gaze fell on the elf girl next to Landon.

What great leeks! They even bring back new wild leeks from outside.

In his vision of destiny, the elf beside Landon also shines with the dazzling light of destiny.
