For more than two years, Ji Ran has not lived in vain.

The return to the basics in swordsmanship is definitely a fairly high level...... Even levels that he couldn't understand before.

But as the number of battles he fought increased and his understanding of swordsmanship improved, he gradually felt this level.

Using the simplest moves to crack the opponent's moves is as if the swordsmanship has been turned into the most basic stage, but it can exert a better effect than the powerful sword moves......

After the level of the Four Seasons Sword Technique disappeared, Ji Ran finally mastered the true meaning of this set of sword techniques...... Although it may only be a part.

But at least, he has no pressure against an opponent like Anya.

At this time, he was extremely grateful to Professor Lawrence for all the basic training he had done...... If he hadn't made up for this lesson, he would have to take countless detours if he wanted to reach this realm.

Anya is really discouraged now. Originally, she thought that after more than two years of hard cultivation, the distance between herself and Ji Ran would always be shortened, right? Who would have thought that things were not like this at all, and the distance between them, on the contrary, widened!

"Don't be frustrated, Anya. Ji Ran's talent is not necessarily much better than yours, although the swordsmanship he has mastered is stronger than yours, the strength he can exert now will not surpass you too much. But he has clearly been through a lot, and has a set of philosophical theories that we can't understand, and he has incorporated them into swordsmanship...... You still have a chance to catch up with him, but not now. ”

Professor Lawrence comforted Anya, after all, his granddaughter was not a bad talent or because she didn't work hard enough, but because her luck was a little worse.

"Although it can be difficult to catch up with him. But only that's the way. You'll have a bigger goal. Isn't it? ”

"That's right, so Ji Ran, next time, next time, I will definitely not lose to you!" Anya shook her fist at Ji Ran. Ji Ran looked at Anya's eyes that refused to admit defeat, and could only nod slightly.

"I'm looking forward to that day...... Then I will refine stronger weapons and use the power of weapons to defeat you! ”

“…… I find you're getting even more annoying now! Unless you also help me refine a powerful weapon and make me a lot of delicious food, don't think I'll forgive you! ”

Anya rolled her eyes.

Meeting with Professor Lawrence and Anya was a pleasure for Ji Ran. Professor Lawrence's rich insight and understanding as a master of swordsmanship are not comparable to Ji Ran...... Just like alchemy, although he is also a master alchemist now, he doesn't think he can surpass Professor Sergei...... They still have a lot to learn about themselves.

And Anya originally wanted to go on a trip with Ji Ran and them, but unfortunately, she is now a teaching assistant of Sky Blue Wind, and the following days are very busy with work...... So she could only regret missing this opportunity to go to the Elven Forest.

"Wait...... Sooner or later, I will quit my job, and I will become a free adventurer! Anya gritted her teeth and said to Ji Ran. However, she was not too disappointed, because Ji Ran invited her to Xiaolou for dinner...... A table of dishes made up for the regret in her heart.

Lydia took her leave, and the others were ready, the group. Finally embark on the journey to the Elven Forest.

Erin hasn't heard from her for more than two years, not only Ji Ran, but they haven't heard from them. Acquaintances on Perth's side have no news of her either...... This shows that Erin has not left the Elven Forest for more than two years.

Before leaving, Erin said that she would go back to the Elven Forest to receive the training she had missed before and improve her strength. Although no one knew what the training that Erin lacked, there had been no news for more than two years, and it was clear that it was not a very simple matter.

The choice was to take the Guò waterway and board a boat bound for the Elven Forest...... But the owner of the ship did not guarantee that they would be able to enter the Elven Forest, because the guards there were very strict.

He didn't dare to lie and say that Ji Ran and the others were the bodyguards of the caravan or something...... If Ji Ran and the others really made something happen in the Elven Forest, he would be implicated. Just to earn some boat fare, the trade route of the Elven Forest was cut off, and the loss was too great.

Ji Ran and the others did not embarrass the shipowner, which is also a matter of course. So, as passengers, they boarded one of the merchant ships in this fleet.

Before leaving, Ji Ran made some modifications to everyone's equipment. More than two years was enough for Ji Ran to combine alchemy and alchemy more closely. The equipment on all of them has been raised to the silver high level...... It's much stronger than ordinary silver high-level.

At least the extremely low demand for control power, and the special attribute effects, are not something that ordinary silver high-level magic props can achieve.

Moreover, these silver-level props are all mixed with gold-level materials...... For more than two years, Ji Ran has not been running around the mainland in vain.

This makes it possible for these silver-level magic props to be promoted to the gold level. Of course, the main thing is in the weapon, in the case of armor...... That's a long way to go......

Anyway, everyone's equipment has been completely new, which has improved their combat effectiveness by more than a notch. In this way, even if there are really one or two golden steps on the road to make trouble, they will not be afraid at all.

Les can deal with at least one Golden Beginner Rank opponent, and if the others are combined, even if there is no Ji Ran, they can also fight with a Golden Rank!

In a sense, they can be regarded as realizing their original ideals. This is already quite difficult for them. After all, the Golden Rank doesn't mean that you can be promoted by promotion...... But they all felt that as long as they were by Ji Ran's side, this matter would not be a problem...... Although this faith came strangely, it left everyone without doubt.

At first, the road was very peaceful, because even in the territory of the Knight Federation, those dangerous monsters in the river were driven away or hunted, and the thieves did not dare to be arrogant in such a place...... No matter what country does, if it really sends out its army, it is not something that those small forces can resist.

However, after leaving the territory of the Knight Business Federation, things are not so simple.

Most of the river's basin is under the control of various states, but inevitably there are places that are out of reach of the military. So, there will be bandits and the like that going around to carry out robbery...... Of course, not all fleets will be robbed.

There is also a tacit understanding between those merchants and bandits, and if they usually carry out some filial piety or something, they can make those bandits stop shooting...... After all, the bandits didn't want to anger the merchants too much. After all, businessmen have money, and the power of money is huge.

But there will always be some new forces that don't understand these rules, or some fleets carry too much coveted cargo...... Or maybe the fleet is too confident in its own strength and dismisses the bandits around it...... All kinds of conflicts have never been broken in these places.

And, in some treacherous river sections, there are also powerful monsters infested...... Among them, there are even gold-tier monsters!

Although it is not the kind of gold-rank demonic beast that is with reason, it is a gold-level demonic beast with low intelligence, and it is not something that any fleet can deal with. After all, those caravans may have Gold-tier powerhouses in charge, but they will not follow every fleet activity.

Although there are also people who come to hunt these gold-level demonic beasts, the effect is not very good...... The Lebrey River is deep and wide, and it is difficult for the strong human beings to go down to the bottom of the river, and even if they go down to the bottom of the river, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly affected. And those demonic beasts have low intelligence, but their instincts are strong. If you can't beat it, you can run or something, and it's hard to track it.

What's more, now there are even more dangerous opponents.

That's right, it's the Order of the True God. Those guys are now haunted all over the continent, and they come out of nowhere and slaughter them at some point...... That's right, their main purpose is to slaughter!

Slaughter, sacrifice, summon the doppelganger of the true god...... Everyone knows what the Order of the True God is going to do, but there are not many people who can stop them.

Therefore, now each caravan tries to recruit as many bodyguards as possible, and even many caravans also act together to deal with the danger that does not know when it will appear. There are many adventurers on many fleets, dressed in various styles, which makes Ji Ran and the others inconspicuous when they get on the ship.

No one knew that the group of adventurers with men and women, uncles and lori, were wearing equipment that was enough to buy all the magic props on their bodies......

Otherwise, no one can say what will happen. Adventurers and mercenaries are almost intertwined and inseparable; And the latter, there is only a thin line away from the bandits.

Ji Ran deliberately made old treatment of everyone's equipment, which made everyone's equipment look unremarkable...... Of course, this is a bit regrettable, because Ji Ran is still very satisfied with his design, but there is no way.

They came out to find Erin, and they didn't get into too much trouble on the road.

But trouble is not something you can get rid of if you don't want to mess with it.

"Yo, how many of you were hired to join this fleet?" Several adventurers suddenly came over when Ji Ran and the others came to the deck to watch the scenery.

These adventurers looked like the standard adventurers, fierce and dangerous. The strength is not weak, and the equipment on the body is also excellent...... Compared to other adventurers.

They came and spoke to everyone, but the leader of the guys kept his eyes on Lydia.

It's clear that this guy has a heart that shouldn't have been...... Lydia is already a big girl, and her charm as a woman is gradually radiating. No matter what the label looks at, she is already an out-and-out beauty.

There are women among the adventurers, but there are not so many beautiful women...... This makes Lydia stand out.

This group of pick-ups is obviously coming for Lydia. (To be continued......)
