Chapter 426: Sniping Joffrey
For the next two days, Ari followed Hulan and the others around Wàiwéi, and returned disappointed, except for a few sānjí magical beasts and sporadic lone snow worms, he found nothing at all.
Hulan and the others couldn't close their mouths with laughter, with Ai Rui here, they almost didn't have much effort to get the harvest that they usually only have in a year, and when they returned to Atlanta City, buying a house and a car were just around the corner.
Three days later, Ari decided to officially enter the depths of the ice field.
After getting along with Hulan and the others these days, he has become accustomed to the daily life of the ice field, and the environment of the ice field will no longer be a minus point for him to fight.
Hearing Eri's decision to leave, Hulan and the others suddenly had a loss on their faces that could not be concealed, and they understood that the days of following the big guy to lick the bag might be gone forever.
However, they understood that it had been a lot of time for Eri to take them for so many days.
Everyone is not stupid, and the strength to easily kill a fourth-level demonic beast in seconds is definitely not something that a second-level magician can use, but although everyone is curious about his origin, but if Ai Rui doesn't say it, they can only pretend to be stupid.
"Thank you, Dear Mr. Magician. Hulan solemnly thanked Ai Rui.
Ari waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I also learned a lot of survival knowledge from you, you don't owe me anything, it's just that the next trip may not be suitable for you." ”
Hulan hurriedly said: "We are already satisfied with the harvest of these days, I don't know what you are looking for in the ice field, but there is a need, although you command, our hero mercenary group still has a little thin face in this area." ”
"If there is a need I will, okay, I'm leaving. ”
"I'll send you. ”
"No, I'll just go myself. Ari turned his back to everyone and waved his hand, this scene left a very deep impression on everyone's hearts, and they had a faint feeling that this endless wide ice field seemed to be just a background wall for this young figure......
Eri left the Acquisition Point camp alone and headed to the camp of the Ice Dragon Mercenary Regiment.
As one of the few bigwigs in this ice field, the Ice Dragon Mercenary Group is actually not to be underestimated, and their confidence can be seen just from the location where they will camp out.
The camp was already approaching the limit of the Ice Field, but the Ice Dragon Mercenaries had to go even deeper, and Ari had walked almost five kilometers before he saw their camp.
Compared to the acquisition point, the camp here is smaller, but in terms of defense, it is more reasonable, and with only one glance, Ari knows that the camp is set up by a high-ranking person.
"Little Magician Ai Qing, didn't your master come?" The tall mercenary got the news early in the morning that Ai Rui was coming to the camp today, and he specially took the head of the regiment to receive him at the gate of the camp, but when he saw that there was no figure behind Ai Rui, he was immediately a little disappointed, although he did not slack off, but his tone was still inevitably with a trace of slackness.
The leader of the Ice Dragon Mercenary Regiment is named McCaron, a burly and strong man, even in this kind of cold and snowy place, he only wears a piece of demonic beast skin armor on his upper body, revealing the bàozhà-style muscles on his shoulders, and his short golden hair exudes a bit of heroic taste.
Compared to the tall mercenary, McCarron didn't have much of a change in mood, and he still greeted Eri, who was only at the height of his waist, with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency the Magician, on behalf of the Ice Dragon Mercenary Regiment, I welcome you. ”
"I don't know who you are?"
"This is the leader of our Ice Dragon Mercenary Regiment, a sixth-level peak axe warrior, only one step away from the seventh-level. Before McCarron could speak, the tall mercenary proudly introduced him, and he didn't even mention his name to know how disappointed he was that there was only one person in Ari.
"I'm McCaron, and my brothers in the ice field call me a brute dragon, because I only have brute strength, hahahaha. McCarron said, and he laughed first, and the laughter was extremely heroic.
"Ai Qing, from the Atlanta Magic Martial Academy, a second-level magician, came to the ice field to practice, please advise. Ari also bowed down and performed a courtesy, like those academy students who do things properly.
"You look like you're just ten years old, and you have the strength of a second-level magician at such a young age, but you're really a genius. McCarron let out an appropriate exclamation.
Ari puffed up his chest: "I'm thirteen, I just look younger than my peers, but genius can't be talked about, my teacher always said that I was the worst student he ever had." ”
McCarron exclaimed: "To be able to teach such a powerful genius magician as you, it seems that he must be an extremely powerful magician, I wonder if the little brother can introduce it, maybe we have heard of your teacher's name." ”
Hearing this, Ai Rui was a little frustrated: "I can't say the name of the teacher, because the teacher said that my current strength is not qualified to be his disciple to the outside world, and he will not admit it." ”
When McCarron heard this, his heart was shocked for the first time, a thirteen-year-old genius magician was not even qualified to be his apprentice, what kind of character was he!
He didn't doubt Eri's words, after all, he was just a teenager and how much scheming he could have, and he didn't see the flaws in Eri's expression, because when Ari spoke, the loss he revealed was definitely not easy to perform.
Seeing that McCarron was deceived by his superb acting skills, Ari's eyes suddenly revealed a sense of pride, in terms of acting skills, he is professional.
"Commander, are the brothers ready to go?" said one of the members of the camp to McCarron.
"We left in five minutes. McCarrone looked at his watch and casually ordered.
"Yes!"
Waiting for the group members to leave, McCarron turned his head, looked at Ari and smiled: "I heard that you are coming today, and I want to take you to familiarize yourself with the ice field, but I didn't expect to find a new prey last night, so the plan can only be changed, you take a rest in the camp now, and I will entertain you well when I come back." ”
"Can I go with me? I haven't seen a sixth-level demonic beast yet. ”
"I'm afraid this won't work...... McCaron said with some embarrassment: "The opponent is a sixth-level ice ape, and the danger is extremely high! Although we have the confidence to besiege him, but after all, in the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, in case you are injured, not to mention that we can't explain to your teacher, even we can't go in our hearts." ”
"Don't worry, it won't hurt me. As he spoke, Ari pulled out a few scrolls from the spatial ring, and the faint magic fluctuations on them were about to pop out.
"What is this?"
"This is a magic scroll. Eri smiled shyly and said: "It's mainly a sixth-level magic scroll made by the teacher, oh, I also have a defense magic guide made by the teacher, which will be automatically triggered in case of danger, and the teacher said that it can block the ninth-level magician for at least ten minutes, and ten minutes is enough for my teacher to rush over......"
McCaron didn't want to speak for a moment when he heard this, and look, he casually made a sixth-level magic scroll, an auto-triggered magic guide, this is the real boss, compared to others, he is a turtle!
As for killing people and selling goods, McCarron couldn't even think of it.
He has been in the mercenary world for so many years, so naturally he is not really as clean as him, but he has survived until now because he knows who can be messed with and who can't!
And the second-level little magician in front of him obviously can't be provoked, such a magician teacher whose strength is terrifying to the boundless, who knows what means there are, in case he finds out some clues, he knows how to die.
Seeing that McCarron was deeply shocked, Ari decided to add another fire, only to see him pull one out of a pile of scrolls and hand it to McCaron.
"I know I'm asking for a bit too much, but I still hope you'll take me with me, this scroll is your compensation. ”
Looking at the magic scroll in his hand, McCarron's eyes still couldn't believe it, the scroll worth tens of thousands of gold coins was given to him like this......?
"I know this won't compensate you for your losses, or I'll give you another ......"
"No, this one is enough, if you don't use it, I'll return it to you when I come back. McCarron hurriedly refused, and he didn't even dare to accept this one.
If the magician knew that they had cheated his apprentice, their mercenary group might have to be removed from the north, even if it was an S-level mercenary group, it was estimated that they would not be able to provoke such a big man.
Ari didn't know that McCaron was thinking so far, he was just just to save a little trouble, and the magic scrolls he took out were all bought when he was in the royal capital, and he didn't have a chance to use them, so he just took them out to clear the space ring.
McCarrone smiled at him, turned his head to the tall mercenary, and ordered: "Daka, you accompany His Excellency Ai Qing, I'll go and get ready, and set off immediately." ”
"Yes. The tall mercenary could no longer see a trace of slackness in his eyes, and his expression was respectful.
When McCarrone walked into the camp, he immediately had a headache.
Because of the identity that Ai Rui showed, his original plan was going to change, and at least two more level 6 masters would be sent to protect Ai Rui's safety.
But although the strength of the Ice Dragon Mercenary Group is not weak, it still has to leave enough strength to guard the camp, and it really can't spare extra manpower.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, McCarron could only reluctantly ask the fifth-level magician who was offered in the group.
You must know that it costs a lot of money to dispatch a magician, and at least half of the proceeds of the operation must go to this magician.
But he really can't do anything about it.
Although Eri said that he had the protection of a ninth-level magic channel, if he really triggered this magic channel, what if that magician was angry with them?
And this is an opportunity to make friends with the big guy, as long as this one is coaxed well, then their Ice Dragon Mercenary Group will really soar into the sky.
McCarrone felt that this was the biggest turning point in his life, and he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life if he gave it up.
Walking in front of the certain luxurious tent, McCarron said respectfully: "Dear Mr. Magician, I hope you can come forward for this hunt. ”
The people in the tent replied with some surprise when they heard this: "Isn't your target this time an ice ape? Although the ice ape is a sixth-level demonic beast, you should still have the ability to kill it." ”
"You misunderstood, this time I don't want you to make a move, but I want you to protect someone, you don't have to participate in the fight, but you must protect him safe and sound. ”
"Oh, just to protect people?" the man at the tent was visibly unhappy.
McCarron hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you don't need to make a move, you can take forty percent of the income this time!"
"Forty percent, quite generous. The people in the tent were a little surprised: "Who is the other party?" ”
"A boy. ”
"What does the boy look like, how old is he, what strength!" McCarrone only heard the person inside repeat, and then the curtain of the camp tent was suddenly lifted, and a thin man with long hair and shoulder-length suddenly rushed out, looking at McCarrone and asking excitedly: "What does that boy look like, how old is he, and what strength!"
Seeing this magician with such an expression for the first time, McCarron hurriedly replied, "Blonde, with a delicate face, thirteen years old, is a second-level magician. ”
"Thirteen years old?" Hearing McCarron's answer, the long-haired magician was obviously a little disappointed: "Then it's not him, that person should only be ten years old, and his strength is definitely not ......"
The long-haired magician muttered to himself, ignoring McCarron, turned around and walked towards the camp, his tone was full of loss, but when he walked to the door of the camp, he suddenly turned around, looked at McCarron and said: "I'm not interested in this matter, but you can help me pay attention to it, if there is a ten-year-old boy, notify me immediately, as long as you find the person I want, I can help you three times for free, without any requirements." ”
McCarrone was originally a little disappointed, but when he heard that he was looking for a ten-year-old boy, he suddenly had a way.
"Thirteen years old is the boy himself said, perhaps, his age is not real, judging from his height and appearance, ten years old is not impossible......"
Half of the long-haired magician had already walked into the tent, but when he heard the words, he paused there, and after a long time, he turned his head and looked at him with an amazed face: "You are really a genius!"
At the same time, in the depths of the ice field, which is a hundred kilometers away from here, the surface of an iceberg dozens of meters wide and about 100 meters high suddenly clicked and the last countless cracks appeared, and the cracks quickly spread to the entire top from the bottom to the top, and then with a bang, it fell to both sides, splashing ice chips all over the sky.
When the ice chips settled, a figure vaguely appeared, and gradually, the figure was clear, and an old man in a black robe appeared, the old man sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, and he had no human breath all over his body.
Suddenly, I don't know what happened, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, the sky and the earth seemed to be swept by a lightning bolt, and the cold wind of the ice field was still howling, but when he reached the old man's side, he couldn't touch it again.
The old man suddenly grinned: "I've been waiting for hundreds of years, and it's finally here." ”
