The crowd had dispersed, and only Arthur and Arnold were left in the room.

Arthur checked what he might need for the mission at the end, and Arno sat on the mat with his head bowed and clutched a magic book.

This is the state in which the two usually get along, each cultivating or doing their own things, and the two rarely chat with each other, let alone quarrel with each other like Moral.

Arnold suddenly put down the book, "I'll go with you too." ”

Arthur smiled, "No one else is allowed to participate or secretly help in this mission, I left you enough to eat, you can wait for me to come back in the room." ”

"Then be careful. ”

"I know, with the professors of the academy following, it should be fine. ”

"Hmm. Arnold picked up the spellbook again.

The communication between the two is as simple as that.

It didn't take long for Arnold to put the book down again, "Arthur, I want to leave for a while after you're gone. ”

"Huh?"

"My magic has been stuck at the peak of the third level for a long time, and when I am promoted to an intermediate dark mage, it will cause a large gathering of dark magic elements, and I need to find an unobtrusive place to move up the rank. ”

"Oh, then this one for you, I think you might use it when you advance. Arthur said as he pulled out a small black wooden arm from the space bracelet.

"What a pure, rich dark power! where did you get it?" Arnold looked at Arthur in surprise.

"It's just that I've been in a strange world for a year, and the first time I saw that statue, I felt familiar, and when I came back to see you, I remembered that the statue was somewhat similar to the statue of the demon god in the church. ”

"Thank you, with it, I'm sure I'll be able to break through to become an intermediate magician. ”

"Let's not be so polite. ”

Silence returned to the room.

......

Early the next morning.

The golden sunlight shone on the sword-shaped boulder engraved with the blood-red motto in front of the academy gate.

Under the sword-shaped boulder, Professor Ogu squinted his eyes, enjoying the warmth of the winter sun on his face and body, and stretched a big lazy waist.

"Professor Ogu, you're not going to be the leader of our team, are you?" said Arthur with an excited look on his face.

Professor Ogu looked at Arthur and Huey, Golly, Joan and others behind him, and his good mood was suddenly swept away, and he almost wanted to cry without tears, "How did the four of you get together, it's really life-threatening?"

"Since they are acquaintances, they have to trouble Professor Ogu to take care of them along the way. Arthur said with a smile.

Professor Ogu looked around at the crowd and cleared his throat, "Everyone is here, I will tell you about the tasks and rules this time." The task location assigned by the academy according to the strength of each team, the task of your team is to clear the Wind Thieves in the area of Xieyang Ridge, three hundred kilometers southwest of the Royal City, which is also the closest and most powerful group of Wind Thieves to the Royal City. Although my team is led by me in this trial, I will not interfere with your mission, you can do whatever you want, just as I don't exist, as long as I don't die, everything has nothing to do with me. ”

"You don't care if you fight. Arthur interjected.

"It's none of my business to fight out of the academy, you can start fighting now, as long as you don't kill one. ”

"It doesn't matter if you go to a bar or a kiln. Morar also interjected with a hippie smile.

Professor Ogu went up directly and kicked Moral's ass, kicking Morar into the mud and unable to get up for a while, "I don't care about the task, but as long as you are still a student of the academy one day, I will educate you to learn well!"

"You are unreasonable, I just ask, will I be beaten if I ask?"

Professor Ogu coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "Alright, let's go now." ”

Directly left Moral aside.

......

The territory of the Isaac kingdom is full of mountains and hills.

The hills of the continuous high and low and scattered stretches for hundreds of kilometers, and the sunset sprinkles on the hills of each hill, and the mountains are dyed with a layer of golden red, and the forests are dyed, and the remnant sun ridge is also named.

A major road to the royal city of Singaluru runs through the hills.

Located on the main road, merchants come and go frequently, and some people take risks if they have interests, so the area around Remnant Yang Ling has always been a frequent haunt of bandits.

The mercenary regiments jointly hired by the city guards or large trading houses have been liquidated countless times, but after each liquidation, it is not long after the peace, and new bandits are entrenched, like cutting leeks, and soon another stubble grows.

In the past, the remnant of the sun was mostly infested by small groups of bandits, and mercenaries, large trading houses, and noble convoys with many guards did not dare to disturb them. But in the past two years, there has been a trend of gradual integration, and every time I come out, hundreds of riders are swarming and roaring away. Even the large trading houses and convoys that hired A-class mercenary groups could not get out of the way, and they faintly became the closest hidden danger to the hinterland of the royal city.

At noon, the sun is blazing.

A long convoy walked quickly on the gravel road in the mountains, and the sound of gurgling wheels could be heard far away. On both sides of the convoy, a mercenary with a knife and a gun on his back looked vigilantly at the hillsides and bushes on both sides.

On the two wildebeest horses leading the way in front of the convoy, an old man covered in sweat turned his head and said to the sturdy middle-aged man beside him: "Captain Kaili, let's go to the shade in front of the convoy and rest for a while before leaving, the guys of the trading house and these animals pulling the cart are almost unable to hold on." ”

"No, the area around Xieyangling has not been peaceful recently, and we have to take advantage of the lack of bandits at noon to get out of the distance quickly. ”

The old man wiped the sweat from his head, smiled and nodded, "Okay, then let the guys hold on for a while." Captain Kaili is more cautious than us who do business, these bandits still dare to touch your Muge mercenary group?"

"If they didn't dare before, I heard that recently there was a wind thief nicknamed "Black Jackal" who unified the wind thieves in this area. This gang of bandits is now becoming more and more unscrupulous, last month, the Golden Wing Mercenary Group, which also belongs to the B rank, suffered a loss in Xieyang Valley, not only was the goods robbed, but also killed more than 20 brothers, so this time I was not at ease to lead the team in person. ”

"Captain Carey personally led the team, I am much more relieved this time!" the old man laughed.

Before he could stop laughing, a series of whistles rang out in the woods on either side, and a horse-horned antelope rushed down the hillside.

The old man's face changed instantly, and the sweat on his head was dripping down.

Kaili pulled out the sword behind his back at once, "Enemy attack, array!"

The mercenaries behind him reacted very quickly, and the cars quickly gathered together, and the mercenaries surrounded the convoy in a circle.

There were forty or fifty horsemen of the Wind Thieves who rushed down from the hillside, and they had completely blocked the road in a semi-encirclement.

Kaili has been through this scene for a long time, and he is not as nervous as the old man, he jumped off the wildebeest and clenched his fists towards the bandits in front of him, "That leader leads the team, Muge Mercenary Group Kaili wants to borrow a road, I don't know if it can be convenient?"

A bandit leader carrying a big iron stick also jumped down from the horned antelope, took two steps forward, and said with a big grin: "Captain Kaili is offended, we are also mixed food, just seeking money and not hurting people." ”

The robbers are not just killing people and stealing things, and there must be deaths and injuries on both sides when they really fight, so most of the bandits are extorting some money, and the two sides will really use the knife if they can't talk.

"I know the rules, these brothers are invited to drink!" said Carey, pulling out a purse of money that had already been prepared.

The bandit leader smiled coldly, "The money for drinking is free, and the toll fee of 2 gold coins per car is exempt." ”

"This doesn't follow the rules of the road, does it?" said Carey's face turned cold.

"The rules are set by us, and the previous Golden Wing mercenary group just didn't want to follow the rules, so there was a misunderstanding between the two sides. Everyone is seeking money, and I advise Captain Carey and this boss not to risk the lives of brothers and fellows for dozens of gold coins. "The leader of the bandits threatened nakedly.

Carey looked back at the old man, and it was up to his employer to do so. The main thing is to be willing to spend money to settle the matter, and the money has to be paid by the employer, and the main thing is to be unwilling to pay, and the mercenary who has been paid by others must fight the bandits.

The old man kept wiping the sweat on his head, a car of 2 gold coins, he had to pay more than 60 gold coins, and the profit of his fleet of goods was only two or three hundred gold coins, and he hesitated again and again and finally said bitterly: "I gave this money!"

A storm was about to dissipate, and the old man had already turned to go to the convoy to get the gold coins, when a sharp arrow suddenly shot out of the convoy behind Carey and went straight to the throat of the bandit leader......
