Joffrey left disappointed.

Ai Rui didn't have any preparations for a big battle at all, and the heavily armed Dragon Falcon Army on the Zhushen, as well as his strength, were completely useless.

"I don't take the initiative, if someone provokes me, you can't blame me. Joffrey set his sights on the Garrod family, expecting them to show their strength.

However, for several days, there was no movement from the Garrod family, and even Joka disappeared.

Joffrey thought about it, was a little unwilling, and found the police station.

"What about the guy you said died drinking milk tea last time, can you show me his body?" Joffrey said to the bronze-hat guards at the police station.

When the bronze hat guards heard about the dead man's case, they also went to check the file, and after the investigation, they came out and said: "The investigation is clear, it has nothing to do with you, you have to die of illness." ”

Joffrey was not happy: "It doesn't matter what it is, you are too casual in your sentence." ”

Hearing this, the copper-hatted guard glanced at him and sneered: "What, you still want to do it? You're here to make trouble, it's okay to get out!"

Joffrey left the police station in a huff, the service attitude here needs to be improved, and Atlanta City is far behind, bad review!

Joffrey didn't expect the Garrod family to be so cowardly, just revealing the strength of a high-level magician, so he took the initiative to shrink back, knowing that he would choose to keep a low profile.

Time flies by in Ion City, and Ari is busy analyzing information every day.

According to Gully's previous words, compared with the current situation on the mainland, Ari basically determined that the Lorland Empire was a country established after the overthrow of his grandfather's regime, and now Gully and their lives are not easy.

Gully is the Grand Magus, one of the strongest in the entire continent.

But at the national level, it is just the existence equivalent of nuclear weapons, and it cannot even be used at will.

But it's not bad.

The control of the Lolan Empire over the entire country is not very strong, perhaps because the other two major empires on the mainland do not want to see a strong and rising Lolan Empire, so openly and secretly, there are some restrictions on the Lolan Empire.

After Eri learned about this, he found that it didn't seem too difficult to solve the problem, with his magic technology tree that transcended the times, the three major empires of the Jade Dragon Continent combined might not be able to resist his blows, especially when he could plot in the shadows.

As long as he wants, countless air strike forces can directly blossom in the palaces of the three major empires, and then the mainland will reshuffle.

However, this is not what he wants to see, if his grandfather is strong in governance, the empire will not be destroyed, and forcible intervention will only make things worse.

It was necessary to meet Gurly the Prophet.

Thinking of this, Ari sent a message to call Joffrey over.

"Boss, have you changed your mind?" asked Joffrey, a little excited.

Ari said: "I'm going to leave for a while, Ion City will be handed over to you, if you want to deal with the Garrod family, you can do what you think, but it's better to win over some interest allies, don't make too much of a show......"

Joffrey immediately assured: "Boss, you can leave with confidence, when you come back, Ion City will definitely become a second Atlanta City!"

Irry was even more upset when he said this, and decided to keep Gal and Gathus in the city as well.

Gar is careful and experienced in doing things, which can make Joffrey less aggressive, and Gathus is a protective lock that Ari puts on Joffrey, even if Joffrey collapses, Gathus can easily solve it.

Five years after these arrangements, Ari quietly left Ion City.

Of course, in the Jade Dragon Continent, no one paid attention to Ai Rui's whereabouts.

Ari is very fast, and has comprehended some of the laws of earth and wind magic, and even the Phi Phi Falcon can't catch up with him.

In less than half a month, Ari crossed the continent and came from the south to the north.

Even if Ai Rui is strong, he is a little mentally tired from rushing like this, but it is worth it, there is still one last pass left in front of him, and he has entered the Luolan Empire.

The Loran Empire is now in the midst of suppressing the rebellion, and it is quite strict with the outside world, but with Eri's strength, there is no problem in passing through the pass quietly.

After crossing the border, Ari expected to see the oppressed people, but he didn't.

Judging from what he had heard these days, the people of the Loran Empire were not living in misery, and the people were also living and working in peace, and the only drawback might be that they were restrained in terms of freedom.

Ari spent three days in the border city.

In the past three days, he has a new understanding of the Luolan Empire, and at the same time, he also knows the approximate location of Guli and the others.

And, most crucially, he established Gully's identity.

In the Loran Empire, the Gullina side was known as the rebels, led by the current patriarch of the Callias family.

However, there is still some controversy about this patriarch, except for those people in Guli, and Ari recognizes it......

At present, there are two Callias families in the Empire, one is in the capital of the Loran Empire, and its patriarch is Olek Calias, according to the relationship, Ari should call him Uncle, who is the current chief magician of the court of the Loran Empire

The other, Guli, led a part of the clansmen who were unwilling to surrender to the Loran Empire, and some troops loyal to the original empire, to form a rebel army.

Knowing this is not enough, it is not easy to find Guli, and if he is found so easily, it is estimated that he will not be able to survive now.

In the past few days in the city, Ari has spent money to get himself an identity on the black market, he is now a student of a magic academy, he grew up in the city alone, earning commissions as a mercenary for a living, and is a not-so-well-known bounty hunter.

After understanding the situation, Ari pondered whether to go to the imperial capital.

If you want to get in touch with Gully, it is of course the fastest way to find Gully's people, but Ari doesn't have any eyeliner and power here, and it will take a long time to find it on his own.

When you go to the royal capital, it will be different, there must be people in the hands of the Luolan Empire who have been arrested, as long as they are found, they are afraid that they will not be able to find the organization?

If you want to do it, Ai Rui took on an escort task on the same day, escorting a batch of goods to another city not far from Dibu.

The main force of the escort mission is a B-class mercenary group, and Ari and these people will join the mercenary group as temporary members until the end of this mission.

This kind of thing is very common on the mainland, compared with ordinary mercenaries, employers believe in famous mercenary groups more, but the escort task is not a high-end task, and the money given is not much, and the escort takes at least half a month to go back and forth, and it is really not profitable to run a trip.

However, if the mercenary group wants to upgrade, doing the task is the only way to improve, so the mercenary group came up with a compromise solution, after they took the task, they divided the task to the scattered mercenaries who could not receive the task, the scattered mercenaries made a living money, and the mercenary group earned fame, and neither side lost.

The only loss may be the employer, but as long as nothing happens, no one wants to pursue it.

In fact, employers also know the situation, you get what you pay for, and don't expect a strong escort if you give a small commission.

But that's enough, many employers themselves want a name, and with the name of a B-level mercenary group, there will be a lot fewer things along the way.

Powerful robbers don't look down on their goods, and robbers who don't have strength don't dare to offend the mercenary group, so in a sense, both sides take what they need.

After Ari joined the mercenary group, there was not much to do.

Along the way, Xiang'an was fine, because he was a third-level samurai, so he was also assigned a carriage to ride.

"Eri, you are a third-level warrior, how can you accept this kind of task, with your strength, you can already receive a higher-paying task in the Mercenary Guild. On the carriage, a middle-aged man with a beard on his face suddenly asked Ari curiously.

Ai Rui smiled shyly and said: "It's hard to mix well in a small place, I have long wanted to go to the imperial capital to see if I can mix up my personal appearance, so I simply took this opportunity to go to the imperial capital to have a look, otherwise I would not be reconciled." ”

The middle-aged strong man suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "I see, this mission is just near the imperial capital, you can not only have the travel expenses left, but also earn some extra money......"

"Exactly......" Ari nodded.

The middle-aged strong man sighed: "It's good to be young, when I was young, I also became a mercenary because I wanted to go to various places on the mainland, but I didn't expect to do it for so many years......"

Ai Rui said: "After so many years of mercenaries, you must be experienced, brother, I have to study hard along the way, with you in front, I will definitely gain a lot." ”

The middle-aged strong man patted his chest and said, "It's easy to say, if you have a question, just ask, I know that I will definitely answer." ”

Suddenly, while they were talking, the carriage suddenly stopped, and there was a cacophony outside.

Ari and the middle-aged strong man glanced at each other and stepped out of the carriage one after another.

At this time, the convoy had just driven out of a dense forest, in front of a large clearing, the route of the convoy was blocked by a team of dozens of people, and there was an arrow stuck in the ground at the front of the convoy, and only the tail feather was still outside.

"It seems that the other party is prepared, this will be a tough battle!" said the middle-aged strong man with a cautious face, although he was not the person in charge of this escort, but as an official member of the mercenary group, he had no way to dodge.

Ai Rui looked at the confrontation in front of him, and he didn't bother to go up, with his mental power, the things in front of him couldn't be hidden from him at all, and when he just spoke, he already knew what was going on outside, but he was now a third-level samurai, and as a professional actor, he must have his own professional ethics.

Ari was shocked and said, "What happened, who the hell are they, and what valuable things are we transporting?"

The middle-aged strong man originally wanted to create some tense atmosphere, and then he was showing the mental quality of an old mercenary, but when Ai Rui said this, he was also a little panicked.

It doesn't look like an ordinary robber, but the front of the convoy is marked with the banner of a mercenary group, and ordinary people will not come to fight the mercenary group again when they see the flag.

After the middle-aged strong man pondered for a moment, he raised his head and said: "I'll go to the front and take a look, you go with me, you have the strength of a third-level warrior, I join forces with you, and there should be no problem against an ordinary fourth-level warrior." ”

Ari pretended to think about it for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, if we fight, we have to take care of each other." ”

The middle-aged strong man nodded and said, "This is a must!"

After the two discussed, they walked forward, and when they got closer, they heard the two sides negotiating.

"Give our Black Tiger Mercenary Group a face, and our head will invite your boss to drink another day. The person in charge of the mercenary group looked at the crowd in the middle of the road, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The roadblock said unceremoniously: "Who knows your regimental leader, you can go over today, and all the goods must be left!"

"Your Excellency thinks you've settled on us?" the person in charge also became more inquisitive, staring directly at the leader of the roadblockers.

The leader of the roadblockers sneered: "Do you think we haven't done an investigation? You are the only fourth-level samurai in your team, and there are not even a few third-level samurai, and on our side, there are three fourth-level samurai, what do you want to fight us?"

The person in charge said lightly: "Take your life! The Black Tiger Mercenary Group never flinched, are you sure you want to fight with us?"

Seeing that the person in charge was so strong, the leader of the roadblocks was also a little hesitant, although the strength is strong, but there will be losses in the fight, he is also ready to develop and make a lot of money, and join the rebel army, if he loses manpower here, it will be too cost-effective.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said: "Of course, if you want to pass, you can go through three wins in five games, if you win, I will let you go, if you lose, all the goods will be left obediently." ”

"Okay, that's it!" the person in charge gritted his teeth. I agreed.

Back in the team, the person in charge found the middle-aged strong man, regardless of the fact that Eri was next to him, and said directly: "Wait for me to be the first to get on, Saiji, you and Maka, and Rove are behind me." ”

The middle-aged strong man, I am Saiji, and after listening to it, his brows furrowed: "Three wins in five games, there are only four of us, what should you do with the fifth?"

The person in charge spread his hand and said, "There's no way, just find someone, we lose in front, it's the same whether we fight in the back or not." ”

When Saiji heard this, he suddenly turned his gaze to Ari and said, "This little brother is also a third-level samurai, and he can be the fifth person to fight. ”

The person in charge shifted his gaze to Eri's body, and when he saw his young appearance, his brows suddenly furrowed: "Are you sure he really can? ”

Saiji spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter what, anyway, it's a best-of-five game, if it goes well, I guess it won't be his turn, if it doesn't go well, it's estimated that it's the same." ”

"That's just as well. The person in charge set his eyes on Ari and nodded approvingly.
