In any case, this is a good thing for him. If there are no messy things, he can focus on improving his own strength and the strength of his subordinates.
After waiting in the Alchemy Tower for a while, Thales came back and looked at Huoge's broad back. He smiled and said, "Huoge has become bigger than before. It seems that even if we bring Tucker with us on this trip, we won't feel crowded."
Tucker rolled his eyes, not bothering to pay attention, and sat on it directly.
After the eldest son, the youngest son and the grandson were seated, Lei Te habitually asked, "Are you all ready?"
“Ready!”
Tucker, Taylors, and Dick shouted together.
"Okay!" Lei Te stretched out his hand, pointed to the northeast, and said with full energy: "Huo Ge, let's go!"
"Huogehuoge, let's go!" Dick also shouted in Rhett's tone.
“Chiu!”
Huo Ge raised his head and cried loudly, flapping his wings with a fierce airflow, rushing straight into the sky! Dark Eagle City, Administration Department.
"Master Ruilai, what do you want me to do?"
Lawrence, wearing silver armor, holding a shield in one hand and a long sword on his waist, came to the third floor of the administrative office and spoke to Rui who was leaning over the desk.
Riley moved his eyes away from the documents on the desk, looked at Lawrence, and said with a smile: "Lawrence, I have something good to tell you."
"Good news?" Lawrence was slightly startled. He was naive and did not think much about it. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He said, "Am I going to be promoted?"
"You actually guessed it right." Ruilai pretended to be surprised, then smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will be transferred to the Fire Pattern Mine and serve as the manager there, responsible for the safety of the area."
Upon hearing the news, the smile on Lawrence's face froze slightly. He had never expected that he would be transferred to such a far place.
This was obviously good news, but he hesitated for a moment.
"You seem reluctant?" Ruilai calmed down and said, "You know, this opportunity is a dream come true for many people."
"Oh, no, I'm not unhappy." Lawrence retorted subconsciously, and after a pause, he said, "I'm just thinking about when to leave. Besides, isn't Mr. Vaders there? What will he do if I go?"
"You don't need to worry about that." Ruilai touched his chin and said, "Actually, this is what father meant. He intends to train you. You should feel lucky for this. Otherwise, I would not feel comfortable handing the Fire Mark Ore over to you now. You are still too young."
Listening to Riley's straightforward words, Lawrence touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Master Riley is instructing me, but I will obey the Lord's orders and do my best for it."
"Well, I hope you can keep your word." Riley nodded. "Here are the transfer documents for you and Vides. Take them over and show one copy to Vides."
"Got it, Master Riley!"
Then Riley added some details, which Lawrence took note of and left the administrative office shortly afterwards.
Coming to the busy streets, Lawrence felt a little emotional. He would no longer be a patrol knight of Dark Eagle City.
Seeing the fruit tea shop next to him and the painting studio not far away, a trace of reluctance flashed in Lawrence's eyes.
He wanted to go over and talk to Aura about this matter, but a familiar figure appeared at the intersection ahead, which made his expression change slightly.
At this time, Mycroft was taking a leisurely walk. He had just left the Rattlesnake Tavern with a bottle of "Fiery Youth" wine in his hand and was in a very good mood.
But this good mood was ruined until he saw Lawrence turning the corner. He lowered his head and walked quickly among the crowd as if he felt guilty. Even when others shouted "Sheriff Lawrence", there was no response.
"Hmph, you philandering boy, let this guilty feeling accompany you forever!" Mycroft frowned, looking displeased.
Especially when I think of Eunice's heartbroken look when she found out Lawrence had abandoned her, I feel a little sorry for my student.
But he had to consider Rhett's face. He knew that Rhett valued this boy very much, so he never preached to him personally - the most he could do was not to give him a good look.
"Oh, it's so unlucky. I'll go talk to Vicky!" Mycroft shook his head and sighed, preparing to leave Dark Eagle City and go to the suburbs to find his wife.
A few minutes later, Lawrence appeared from the corner, looking around, looking at the city gate with a complicated expression. He looked at the studio, his expression hesitant, and finally sighed and left.
The journey from the Kingdom of Jinlun to the Kingdom of Huilu is extremely long, crossing a kingdom and a large amount of wilderness in the middle.
Lei Te brought several of his descendants, covered the ground with tents, braved the wind and rain, and traveled tens of thousands of miles. It took more than three months to finally reach the destination.
The Dark Mountains are the western border of the Huilu Kingdom. Further west is a vast and sparsely populated poisonous plain.
Here, ordinary humans, orcs, most monsters, plants, etc. are not suitable for survival. There are poisonous creatures everywhere, which are the favorite food of some dark monsters. Therefore, the Dark Mountains adjacent to this place have not only become a place with few wars, but also attracted many extraordinary people to gather here. Over time, some small towns and camps have been formed.
It was dark at this time, and the moonlight was greatly weakened by the fog on the ground. The cold winter night caused the fog near the ground to condense and not dissipate.
Sitting on Huo Ge's back, Lei Te stared intently at the purple poisonous fog below, and suddenly found that there was some...unusual movement a few kilometers ahead.
"Damn it, where on earth did this dark-winged flying snake come from? How could there be a magical beast with high-level bloodline potential in the Poison Mist Plains!"
"Mu Yasi, stop complaining. The most urgent thing now is to get rid of this dark-winged flying snake!" A sturdy knight, holding a thorn shield in one hand and a long-handled axe in the other, stood in front of a man and a woman. He shouted, "As usual, I'll be responsible for attracting fire from the front, and you guys look for opportunities to attack its weaknesses and help me contain it!"
The dark-winged flying snake exudes a cold and dark aura, its eyes are like emerald green gems, its two purple fangs are exposed, its abdomen has blocky patterns, and its back has two thin black wings that allow it to fly and strike in the air. It shuttles through the purple poisonous fog like a fish in water, and when it opens its mouth, a ball of dark purple liquid blends into the environment.
The burly knight was fully focused and noticed the venom attack from the Darkwing Snake at the first moment. His expression changed, and he thrust his strong arms forward, blocking his body with his shield. The venom hit the area above the shield directly.
Chichichichi…
Hearing the violent hissing sound and feeling the slight decrease in the weight of the shield, the sturdy knight's expression changed slightly, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, "Damn it, my shield!"
whoosh whoosh whoosh
At this moment, three sounds of breaking through the air came from the space on the left. The knight hurriedly turned around, knowing that it was an attack from his ranger teammates. He even thought about the next battle route. If the arrows hit, or forced the dark-winged flying snake to move, he would definitely use the thick shield to create more favorable conditions! The sturdy knight raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth. He believed that with the combined strength of the three people, it was not impossible to take down this monster of the same level!
However, the silver arrow shuttled rapidly in the air, suddenly collided with each other in the air, cleverly changed the angle, and pierced the knight's left arm holding the shield, probably the triceps position, instantly tearing a deep wound.
“Uh…Ah!”
Screams rang out in the night.
The knight focused all his energy on dealing with the dark-winged flying snake, and his mind was also thinking about countermeasures and how to deal with the enemy. He did not guard against his teammates who had fought side by side with him many times. Moreover, the arrows that came from more than ten meters behind him were as fast as lightning, and he could not avoid them even if he wanted to.
"Why!" The knight quickly reacted to the situation, turned his head in pain, stared at the graceful figure behind him with red eyes, and roared loudly: "Why do you do this, I don't understand..."
"Why? Hehe, Tarrou, you can only blame yourself for being too serious." The graceful female ranger giggled twice, her body shaking with laughter, and then said in a lazy voice: "Muyas and I have long suggested to you that it is better to rob other extraordinary people instead of risking hard hunting monsters. We have repeatedly suggested it many times, but you just won't listen. So... you can only die because of your persistence. Anyway, even if we don't take action, you will die sooner or later at the hands of monsters in the Poison Mist Plain or the Dark Mountains. Or... at the hands of other extraordinary people."
"You two beasts, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place!" The knight called Tarrou was furious, and every word the other party said irritated him. Tarrou even ignored the dark-winged flying snake behind him and was about to smash the female ranger with his axe and hammer.
Hiss.
The dark-winged flying snake that shuttled through the purple poisonous fog seemed to feel that it was being ignored. Although its IQ was not high enough to understand the situation on the field, the enemy in front of it had an exposed back and was completely defenseless. This was definitely a great opportunity! It opened its mouth wide, its tongue flickered, and a dark energy ball about the size of a basketball condensed in its mouth.
Just as it was about to spit it out, a green light flashed in the darkness, and a crescent-shaped wind blade shuttled through at a high speed, with a sharp momentum, and actually slashed parallel to the ground along the open mouth of the Dark Wing Flying Snake.
The extremely sharp green light blade split it into two, and then continued to fly through the air with its remaining momentum, gradually disappearing into the desolate night.
Tarrou, who had just run two steps, stopped when he heard the voice. He glanced at the Dark Winged Flying Snake whose life force was rapidly dissipating behind him, then looked at the man next to the female ranger. His pupils flashed with shock, and he said with an unsightly expression, "Mu Yasi, you were promoted to a mage. When was that..."
"Well, probably before I proposed to you last time to rob other extraordinary people." The fourth-level magician, the blue-haired Mu Yasi, who had just cast the wind blade, said casually: "Brother Taru, I just saved your life, right? I should repay you for saving me before."
"Humph." Tarrou snorted coldly, obviously not so easy to fool. His chest rose and fell as he said, "Mu Yasi, even if you want to do dirty business, just leave the team. Why do you have to do this?"
"Of course I don't want to give up this Feng Shui treasure land." The female ranger laughed disdainfully: "The resources here are rich, and there are many extraordinary people. We want to kill people and steal treasures here, how can we let other living people know our identities."
Mu Yasi on the side didn't say anything, but judging from his expression, he agreed with this statement.
"Damn it, you all deserve to die, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place." Tarrou's teeth were trembling, and he was clearly angry at being betrayed. He clenched his axe and rushed towards the female ranger again. Even in this situation, he knew that he could only replace one person at most, and it was impossible to deal with a fourth-level magician.
But he suddenly found that his steps were heavy, as if there was a latent poison in his body, which made his strength quickly drain away, and a feeling of weakness surged into his heart. Then he fell to the ground with a "thump". Tarrou could no longer hold the heavy thorn shield, and instead grasped the brown soil, looking at the man and woman unwillingly, with hatred surging. Well, the two people's plan was so rigorous that even the arrows were poisoned.
"I will never let you go even if I die!" Tarrou knew he was going to die, so he looked at the two men with vicious eyes and roared with all his strength.
In response, the female ranger drew her bow and aimed the cold arrow at his head.
But at this moment, a high-speed wind blade condensed. The female ranger thought that Mu Yasi was going to take action, so she postponed her action.
The next moment, her eyes blurred, a green light flashed, and the bowstring in her hand suddenly broke.
The female ranger's face froze, and she looked at Mu Yasi in disbelief: "Mu Yasi, you...what are you doing?"
"Alas." Mu Yasi on the side sighed with regret and glanced at the female ranger: "You vicious woman, you killed my eldest brother, of course I have to avenge him."
At this time, Tarrou, who was lying on the ground, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a funny face: "Hahaha, Mili, you are in cahoots, but you obviously didn't see Mu Yasi's true face! You are worried that I will leak your information, but Mu Yasi obviously doesn't trust you, an insider, to be alive, hahaha."
The female ranger felt cold all over, but looking at Mu Yasi's playful expression, she felt extremely uneasy, but could only laugh dryly: "Why, how could it be, Mu Yasi, you and I have the same goal, why don't we ambush others together..."
"But you're not strong enough." Mu Yasi seemed to be in a good mood, and said casually: "If I cooperate with you, you can't even delay time for me when I encounter danger. What else do I need you for? So... unfortunately, you'd better be buried with my eldest brother..."
The words fell.
The wind element in the air began to condense, and a sharp green light flickered in the night.
"No! I can do everything for you. I'll give you whatever you want. I..."
The female ranger looked horrified and begged for mercy quickly, but her words stopped abruptly.
As the green wind blade passed by, her head flew high and rolled to the ground.
Mu Yasi, who did all this, smoothed his hair, looking like a final winner.
"Mu Yasi, you are so scheming..." Taru's voice came from the ground, and he still stared at the man in front of him.
"Tsk, tsk, that's not a nice thing to say, Tarrou.
Not only did I not attack you, I also helped you kill Mili." Mu Yasi clapped his hands and said comfortably: "The long-sleeping poison in your body will last for three hours. Mili is really vicious and put three times the amount. But unfortunately, I don't have the antidote."
He turned around and said as he walked, "My dear brother, I'm going to the Withered Vine Town to buy some antidote for you. I hope... you can hold on until then..."
Mu Yasi shuttled through the poisonous fog with a smile on his face.
He was in a good mood as he sensed a low-level poisonous scale python slowly approaching from a kilometer away. It seemed that even if he did not take action, his "good brother" would be buried in this plain.
