Chapter 407: Departure
"Your Excellency Dark Crow's...enemy?"
Landon was stunned, somewhat at a loss.
The voice in the accessory called himself Dark Crow, because he no longer remembered his original name and only had a code name left.
Obviously, even when his body disappeared, he was still able to survive by separating his consciousness. When Lord Dark Crow was alive, he was definitely an extraordinary and powerful professional.
Such a powerful Lord Dark Crow had such a miserable end, so how powerful were the enemies he faced during his lifetime? Landon didn't dare to think about it anymore. He had just broken through to the first level by chance. To him, those mid-level professionals were all unattainable big shots.
Not to mention those high-level professionals who, in his opinion, are as far away from him as clouds to the soil.
But now, someone told him that he was suddenly involved in a threat of this level? "What should I do, Lord Dark Crow? Is it too late for me to hand you over now?"
After a moment's silence, Landon spoke carefully.
"Hehe! You damned little bastard! I don't know if they will kill you after they get the things. Now the Raven Heart Pendant that I am attached to has become one with you. How are you going to hand me over then?"
Dark Crow was so angry at Landon's reaction that he laughed.
"But, Lord Dark Raven, I am only at the first level. If it is really as you said, Lord Dark Raven, no matter what I do now, I will suffer the same fate when facing your enemies."
With a sad face, Landon explained weakly.
"Humph! Do you think that a high-level professional will come over and personally pin you to death? Don't be naive!"
After angrily scolding, Dark Crow's tone softened slightly.
"If they really did it themselves, they wouldn't have waited until later, but would have teleported here and crushed you to death right now! Although I lost my body, my power has not completely disappeared. As soon as the wave spread, I found a way to blur the source of the wave.
The most they can do now is sense that I have regained consciousness, and a rough direction and range, but they cannot pinpoint my exact location!"
"They were not unscathed when they fought against my true self. Although I was defeated in the end, they did not do so without paying any price!"
As he said this, Dark Crow couldn't help but sneer.
"Humph, after being hit by the atrophy curse I cast before my death, it will be very difficult for them to maintain their realm. Without a few years, there is no way they can recover their strength."
“Before they can truly determine my location, they will only send their men to conduct a large-scale search instead of doing it themselves.
So, now you just need to find a way to escape from this kingdom before their people find this place. You don't have to worry too much, as long as they are not very close, they can't detect me. "
"Oh, I see!"
With a sigh of relief, Landon nodded and regained some confidence.
"Then you'd better start preparing to escape immediately. Every second you delay, the chances of you being found will increase significantly."
After leaving behind the last sentence, Dark Crow's voice fell silent again.
"Escape..."
Sitting alone at the table, looking at the pile of things in front of him, Landon suddenly felt a little dazed, and the excitement he had just felt had completely disappeared.
Until now, he still has a strong sense of unreality.
Half a day ago, he was just an ordinary alchemy shop clerk, and his strength was no different from that of ordinary people.
And now, he has broken through to become a formal professional, obtained the highest reward of the ruins, and inexplicably had a bunch of high-level professional enemies, and was about to embark on the road of escape.
Although it is good news that Lord Dark Crow's enemies will not take action personally, with his current strength, even if they are just a few second- or third-level professionals, it will be of little use to him.
Even two first-level mercenaries are enough to subdue him easily.
"By the way, Lord Dark Crow, do you have any other way to improve my strength in a short period of time? For example, like you let me break through the first level before, can you let me break through a few more levels?"
After thinking about it, Landon called his grandfather again.
"Are you still asleep, idiot? Look at me now, do I think I can easily upgrade you to the fourth level?!"
When this was mentioned, the roar of the Dark Crow sounded in Lanton's ears again. Lanton could even imagine the Dark Crow's eyes wide open and furious.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Lord Raven..."
Landon apologized hastily.
"Hmph... As for your current condition, I can teach you a spell that will at least make you stronger than a duck in combat!"
However, after losing his temper again, Dark Crow himself realized that if they only relied on Landon's current combat power, their chances of successfully escaping would probably be very low.
As the Dark Crow's voice fell, a special spell model, as well as the corresponding spells and casting materials, suddenly appeared in Landon's mind.
"The terrifying gaze?"
Landon read out the name of the spell with some confusion.
"This is a little trick I created when I was young. It's quite powerful, but its biggest advantage is that it consumes very little energy. Even you can use it! After that, remember to buy a better sword. With your current pitiful mental strength, a warrior with a brain full of muscles may be more suitable for you.
And don't forget to hatch your egg. If I'm not mistaken, that egg is also a good thing."
After saying this in one breath, the Dark Crow disappeared completely this time. No matter how Landon called out again, there was no response.
After thinking about his current situation for a while, Landon immediately decided to look for Avis.
If you want to escape, you first need to prepare various supplies for the journey.
As an ordinary person, his knowledge could never be compared with that of Avis, a traveling wizard.
Besides, Leah's crystallization disease is also a problem, and I don't know how long it will take to be completely cured.
He did it as soon as he thought of it. After a while, Landon waited for Avis outside Avis' laboratory, who had just finished the experiment.
He recounted the difficulties he was currently facing, but omitted the details related to the Dark Crows. He only said that he had some things to do and was preparing to travel far away from the Kingdom of Morn to the Kingdom of Silver Moon on the other side of the Federation.
"If you need to go to other kingdoms, I suggest you take a constructed airship instead of traveling on your own."
After listening to Landon's story patiently, Avis seemed unaware of Landon's flickering eyes and gave a conventional suggestion.
"Don't even think about escaping on the airship. There are definitely people guarding it. If you go up there, you're doomed. There's nowhere to run."
Before Landon could reply, Dark Crow spoke directly.
"…I'm sorry, Lord Vio. But I don't plan to take the airship this time. I…I think it might be unsafe."
After holding it in for a long time, Landon managed to find an excuse to get away with it.
"Okay, but I must remind you, Landon, with your current strength, the probability of you reaching the Silver Moon Kingdom safely by land is almost zero."
Avis shook his head, his tone regretful.
“It will take about half a month to completely cure Leah’s crystallization disease.
But I have already researched the healing potion. If you insist on leaving, then giving her one bottle a day will do the same thing."
"Is that so... Mr. Vio, can I leave Leah with you for a while? I can use the resources I found in the ruins as a thank you."
After hesitating for a moment, Landon gritted his teeth and made a ruthless decision.
But what Landon didn't notice was that his words had completely fallen into the ears of the girl who walked in from behind.
"Brother, don't you want Leah anymore?"
When Leia heard that Landon wanted to keep her, she immediately became anxious.
"I'm sorry, Leah, but this is going to be very dangerous and I can't put you in danger."
Landon waved his hands hurriedly, trying to explain to Leah the danger of following him, but no matter what he said, the latter was unwilling to separate from him.
In the end, Landon softened his heart. After accepting some resources that Landon wanted him to help cash in, Avis searched in his ring and then threw a space package to him.
The value of the various supplies in the package was about twice the discounted price of the supplies that Landon provided him.
At the same time, the necklace was given to Leah by Avis as a special gift, which made Landon unable to refuse.
The next day, the Landon siblings said goodbye to Avis and embarked on their own journey.
From the perspective of fate, looking at the fate line of Landon that was slightly tainted with a hint of his own aura, Anvis returned to the store with satisfaction, and also began to prepare to leave here and head in the direction led by the Ring of Fideles.
Separation is not an end, but a new beginning.
However, before leaving, he seemed to have some minor troubles to deal with.
