Chapter 367: Another Departure
George's eyes widened. What the? Will those two go back to the Bright family?
"If they have enough capital in their hands, then there is a good chance that they will return to the Bright family and fight for their own power! Although this is not very likely, if that Rice is promoted to the gold rank, then he is a good candidate for the head of the house. So, do you still think they won't be a threat to you? β
Golden Tier! That Rice, is it possible to reach the Golden Order? Isn't he unable to improve because he has been injured for more than ten years...... Wait, this is just speculation, no one knows if Les can still be promoted to the gold rank......
"Grandpa, do you think Les has the potential to become a Gold-Rank powerhouse?" George asked Elder Aaron.
Elder Aaron sighed, "Originally, I thought it was impossible. But the last time I saw Rice, I couldn't see any decadent look on his face, but it was plain and pleasant. Do you know what that means? β
George shook his head, though he already had a hunch in his heart.
"His state of mind is already very suitable for hitting the golden level. As long as his strength is enough, the success rate of hitting the Golden Rank will be very large! β
Elder Aaron patted the table next to him, his face gloomy.
"And if he becomes a Gold-Tier powerhouse, what will he do next? He must have asked the Bright family for what belonged to him. If his ambition is a little bigger, it is not impossible to compete for the head of the family......"
George finally panicked. If Les succeeds in advancing to the Gold Rank, he will definitely be a strong contender for the head of the family. When the time comes, will you be able to advance to the Gold Rank? Can you compete with that Rice?
"So. This winery we can give up. But we must not relax our vigilance against Rice and Ji Ran and others. Of course. Next time, it may not be us. It would be a good idea to ask someone else to give them some trouble......"
Elder Aaron's eyes narrowed, as if some conspiracy was flowing in the middle......
The next day, Elder Aaron and his party left Perth and went back to the Eray Empire. This made Ji Ran and the others breathe a sigh of relief - after all, this trouble was temporarily solved.
If the Bright family really grabbed the distillery, it would be a real headache. Not to mention whether they will personally snatch the distillery, it is to toss the distillery's purchase and sales channels. It will also bring huge losses to the winery.
Now, with the Bright family no longer making trouble, and with the protection of the Lawrence family and Professor Sergei, the development of the distillery can be said to be smooth sailing. Coupled with the cooperation on Solan's side, the sales of amber wine and attribute wine have all increased greatly......
Therefore, Ji Ran has another amount of money, which can be used to purchase various materials.
Spring is just around the corner, and it's time for everyone to go out and adventure.
This time, after discussing the route, everyone chose the north. After a series of adventures. The crowd will arrive at Ironforge on the Dragon's Back Mountains, the largest settlement of the dwarves.
And in the process, Ji Ran will find a place for Les to be the most suitable for advancing to the Golden Rank. Then set up the formation and let Les hit the golden level. Both Ji Ran and Rice are full of confidence in this promotion - after all, they have all met the conditions that should be met, and the preparations that should be made have been done.
Before leaving, Ji Ran made huge preparations. There are still a lot of skins and a lot of bones from the gold-level rock lizards, which is enough to strengthen the equipment on everyone's bodies.
No one has any objection to this approach - equipment is also part of strength, and with strong equipment, there is greater security when venturing in the wilderness, who would refuse?
Of course, there may be some ascetics who believe in their own strength and refuse external help who may not like these things, but Rice and his party are obviously not.
Only when I got to Lydia, there was nothing but a little problem...... Because he is a magician, it is a little inconvenient to wear leather armor. But Ji Ran didn't have the materials at hand to make a zuΓ² magic robe, so he could only help Lydia make a set of inner armor first, and then strengthen her magic robe a little.
If he found the right materials in the future, Ji Ran would definitely not be stingy to help Lydia refine a powerful magic robe. But the materials are not so easy to find.
Naturally, the things for camping in the wild are also ready, and the tents and other things have been updated...... Ji Ran used magic materials to refine, a set of tents, sleeping bags and the like. Now that you have money, why save?
It's not a bad thing to make your own wild adventures a little more comfortable.
And this adventure, Lydia will follow everyone, and Anya is sorry to continue her studies...... It's not difficult to take a leave of absence in Sky Wind, but after all, as a student, you can't go out and take risks and not take any classes at all.
However, there is one person who has a big dissatisfaction with this adventure.
"Hey, you're all gone, leave me here alone, don't you think you're too cold-blooded and ruthless?"
That's right, it was Anlek who gave the opinion.
Having just escaped from the threat of the Bright family, Anlek now has a strong sense of crisis. This time it's the Bright family, and there are various ways to get rid of them...... But next time, what if it's something else?
How can you be able to withstand the various dark arrows of those people by yourself?
ββ¦β¦ Didn't I introduce you to Professor Sergei and Professor Lawrence? If something happens, you can go to them. I believe that in Perth City, there should be nothing they can't solve. Ji Ran comforted An Lek.
"That being said, I need someone to help me too! I don't dare to believe all the people recruited from outside, so I have to leave someone who knows the roots, right? β
Enlek still didn't give up. There was no way, he was alone in Perth City, and he did have a sense of unease.
"Why don't you stay like this, too." Suddenly, Ben stepped up.
Everyone looked at him, and in exchange for a smile of indifference.
"The last time I took the adventure, I broke through the silver level, and in a sense, I achieved one of my ideals. There's nothing wrong with taking a break for a while. Moreover, my strength is not very stable, so I just took this opportunity to consolidate it...... You see, I'm out on adventures with you, and I always seem to be hurting. In this case, it is difficult to calm down and stabilize the strength, right? β
Everyone was speechless. In fact, it is true, and for Ben, getting injured is almost an attempt...... In every big battle, he was the one who was the most injured of the eight achievements. There is no way, his positioning is like this, shield warriors, defense-oriented, must be pushed to the front of the team. But here's the problem...... Their opponents often have the strength that Ban can't resist at all......
Therefore, what he said also has a certain amount of truth.
"Don't do that, Ben. Going out on adventures is the fastest way to improve your strength...... Why don't I stay. I got along pretty well with Anlek before, didn't we? Baker winked at Anlek.
Without waiting for An Leek to speak, Ben already smiled and shook his head: "No, this is my true thoughts. If you want to improve your strength, aren't you more urgent than me now? At the very least, you have to go up to the silver level to have the confidence to take a vacation like me, right? In Perth City, I also have the opportunity to cultivate......" Speaking of this, Ban glanced at Ji Ran, "...... I believe that I will not be pulled down too much by you. β
Ban's will was very resolute, so in the end, Baker had no choice but to reluctantly accept Ban's choice.
"Great, Ben should be much more stable than Baker, I don't think there should be too much trouble......" Anlek said quite satisfied with the result.
"Hey, like I've caused you a lot of trouble! We're close comrades-in-arms, and we've left so many glorious victories in bars and other places, you won't forget, right? Baker looked at Anlek innocently.
"Forget it! Which time the ending is not that you fight someone else and then be thrown out by the people in the tavern! I think Ben should have the same hobby of going to the tavern as me, but not as much as you like to fight! β
Anlek replied, and then laughed with Ben.
At this time, Lydia looked at them strangely: "...... Your distillery itself produces alcohol, so why go to a tavern and pay for it yourself? And those wines may not taste better than amber wine! β
Lydia's question choked on the three of themβeven Les and Ji Ran felt a little embarrassed. Because they all know what Anlek and the others went to the bar for...... Anyway, it's definitely not just going to drink.
"Regardless of this, Ben can stay this time. Remember to practice the technique I left you, it will slowly eliminate the dark wounds in your body - you know, there are a lot of dark wounds left in your body before. β
Ji Ran instructed the class a few words. When I was practicing the exercises he taught in the previous class, I found an obscure place. After some investigation, based on his years of experience in reading martial arts novels, Ji Ran determined that it was a dark wound left by the injury that Ban had not treated in a timely and complete manner.
It may not delay much now, but when Ban is older, then this dark injury will cause him quite a serious problem. Moreover, it is also an obstacle to the improvement of his strength.
Fortunately, the circulation method also has the effect of treating dark injuries, but the effect is relatively slow. During this time, Ji Ran also opened a small stove for Ban and got some food that could remove the dark wounds for him to eat. It's just that his wounds have been left for too long, and it will take some time to clear them.
"I understand. Don't worry, when you come back, you will see a different class! Ben patted his chest.
And An Lek next to him also chimed in: "Well, maybe when Baker comes back, he will have a sister-in-law!" β
There was another burst of laughter......
Although it is said that everyone is very happy to spend time together, it is inevitable that the day of parting has come.
With enough supplies, Ji Ran and Les and the others embarked on the journey again. This time, the target is the Longji Mountain Range, a continuous mountain in the north of the continent! (To be continued......)
