At the end of February 1327 in the Odin Continental calendar, on the eve of the opening of the Magic Martial Arts Academy in Atlanta City, Marquis Lannis officially stepped down as the city lord of Atlanta City, and the new city lord was the expected Count Miro.

This order came down, not only Count Miro was happy, but even Lannis himself was relieved, he was already old, and he didn't want to get involved in those political struggles, and it would be best if he retreated safely.

What's more, in the past three years, he has been in name only, and there is no benefit at all except to be a target for others, if it weren't for Leoper, he would even choose to leave Atlanta City to show his attitude.

Just as he was thinking about Leopold, there was a knock on the door of the study, and a moment later, Leopold, dressed in a white practice suit, walked in through the door.

This is the standard costume of the Youth Team, simple and fashionable, different from the mainland's novel design can highlight the heroic appearance of the young people, Leopold since joining the Young Pioneers, the previous aristocratic costumes have basically been thrown into the wardrobe.

Lannis smiled at Leopold and asked, "I haven't seen you come back after so many days of vacation at the academy, why did you rush back today?" ”

"I heard some rumors and rushed back to confirm them. Leopold was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a moment, looked at Lannis tentatively and asked, "I heard that your position as the city lord was taken by that guy Miro?"

"What is that guy Miro!" Lannis pretended to look at Leopold and said with a serious face, "I must maintain a respectful attitude towards any nobleman in the kingdom!"

Lanniston paused and continued: "As for the city lord, the kingdom naturally has kingdom considerations. ”

"I'm just going to say it at home, that guy is really not a good person, he targets us boys everywhere, and Ari said that sooner or later he will arrange for him......" Leopold muttered quietly, but Rannis's eyebrows raised when he heard this, and he immediately stopped knowing each other.

He glanced at the book in Lannis's hand, and saw that he really didn't seem to care about the position of the city lord, so he smiled and said, "Father, it seems that this matter has no effect on you, and I am ready to come back to comfort you." ”

Lannis laughed: "Although my father is old, I don't need others to comfort me, don't worry, I'm also the one who has been the city lord for so many years, and this thing has long been seen, but it's your young gang, but I am a little impressed, and some layouts even I don't understand." ”

When Lannis said this, his tone paused, and finally let out a sigh: "The future, after all, belongs to you young people. ”

Leopold looked at his father, who had already given birth to gray hair on his sideburns, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said with a serious face: "Count Miro, the lord of the city, will not be in office for a long time, and Ari told me that Atlanta City will rely more on your father to govern in the future." ”

Hearing this, Lannis suddenly laughed dumbly, shook his head, and said with a smile: "No wonder you can create the Youth Gang single-handedly, just this kung fu of winning people is not something ordinary people can do."

However, although your father and I are no longer the lord of the city, we are still the marquis of the kingdom, and the highest-ranking nobles in Atlanta City except for the duke, it is not your turn to comfort me. ”

Leopold didn't seem to believe it when he saw Lannis, thought about it, and finally didn't explain, he believed that Ari wouldn't say big things, so let time prove everything, and hoped that his father wouldn't be too surprised by the time.

At the same time, the Duke's Palace.

The Young Pioneers were summoned by Lilia and gathered in the conference hall.

Except for Eri and Leopold, the rest of the Young Pioneers were basically there.

Gal looked around, counted the number of people, and found that no one was absent, so he said with a serious face: "These days, I have received a report that some members of our Youth Gang are doing some things to oppress the people in the city. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, Eudora frowned, looked at Gal and asked tentatively, "Are those people who were added later?" ”

Gal shook his head and said, "It's not them. ”

When Luo Lin heard this, he suddenly said impatiently: "Who else can it be, it can't be our group of people, I want to go to the city to wave it, but I have to train every day, and I have to memorize magic spells, how can I have time to toss." ”

Gal glanced at Lilia, who nodded at him and said expressionlessly, "Since it wasn't our own people, it means that there are people in the city who have begun to fake the names of our boys' gang." ”

Luo Lin was about to die of boredom every day, and suddenly heard someone pretending to be them, his eyes lit up instantly, and he asked loudly: "Who dares to pretend to us, I led my cousin's brothers to destroy them." ”

Lilia shook her head and said, "I don't know, the other party should have been planning for a long time, according to the investigation, those people have been pretending to be members of our Youth Gang for a long time, and they use our names to do good deeds on weekdays, but recently they suddenly began to defraud everyone of their money, and then disappeared from Atlanta City, without any news." ”

Eudora asked, "A fraud ring?"

Lilia shook her head: "It's not quite like that, judging from their investment before and after, the benefits are not big enough, and if it is a fraud money, there is no need to do all the bad things, many things seem to be deliberate, the purpose is to ruin our reputation." ”

Eudora asked, "Who could that be? The other gangs? If it were them, it would be normal, after all, there are definitely more than one or two of us, and it is not impossible to do some indiscriminate things." ”

"What we need to do now is not to deal with them, but to do a good job of compensating after the fact. Lilia took out a stack of papers and distributed them to the crowd, saying, "These are the lists of victims, let's assign a few to each of them, and do a good job of explaining when the compensation is made." ”

Luo Lin said a little unwillingly: "Then let them go like this?"

Lilia said: "Since he wants to target us, he will definitely attack again, and it will not be too late to find him out when the time comes." ”

Eudora thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to talk to the boss about this?"

Lilia shook her head and said, "No need, it's just a little thing, we'll handle it ourselves." ”

With that, Lilia turned to look at everyone and said, "Let's go our separate ways, pay attention to safety, and sound the alarm in time if there is a problem." ”

While Lilia and the others were acting, Ari also received a report from the Blood Killing Hall.

Simon, the hall master of the Blood Slaughter Hall, said respectfully to Ari, "Abel, they have been rescued and placed in Valley Ten. ”

"It's hard work, the brother who participated in the operation has doubled his prize this month, and I will tell Fina, and you can go directly to her to receive it when the time comes. ”

Simon nodded when he heard this, and wisely didn't ask why he went to Fina to get the money.

Just as Simon was about to withdraw, he suddenly thought of the secret he heard when he infiltrated the Edward family, and said: "By the way, when I was sneaking in, I heard what their guards said when they were chatting, it seems that a group of fifth-level savages will recently enter Atlanta City through the channel of the Edward family. ”

"Barbarian?" Ari's brow furrowed, "Any specific news?"

Simon shook his head: "I also checked, but I couldn't find it, maybe I heard it wrong." ”

Ai Rui shook his head in the same way, and explained seriously: "Check it again, the barbarian's hiding place must be found." ”

"Is it necessary, their target is not necessarily us. ”

"It is necessary, the Blood Wolf Gang that the barbarians put on the bright side was wiped out by us, if this is the case, all the recent activities of the Youth Gang have been temporarily cancelled, waiting for the crisis to be resolved. ”

Simon's expression was stunned when he heard this, and he quickly put away his neglect.

Under the full pursuit of the Young Men's Gang, the barbarian's hiding place was soon discovered.

Ari looked at the results of the investigation sent by Simon, and his heart was also shocked, and he thought for a moment before he said with a certain face: "Letting the barbarians into the city so easily, there must be something wrong with this, keep an eye on them for me, and don't miss a single one." ”

When Simon left, Ari took out the barbarian's information again.

This time the ones who entered the city were the barbarians who helped you, as well as a couple of huge chests. In order not to startle the snake, Simon and the others didn't get too close, so they didn't know what was in the box.

"Barbarians? Ari squinted his eyes and muttered,

Ari also knows a lot about the barbarians, they live in the jungle, gather in the form of tribes, and have the ability to raise some low-level magical beasts, and there will be some shamans in each tribe, equivalent to human magicians, with some mysterious powers.

A few hundred years ago, the northern part of the continent was still the territory of barbarians, and humanity was plagued by barbarians, until the establishment of the Barak Kingdom, which drove the barbarians back into the jungle.

However, the barbarians still launched several tentative invasions towards the borders of the kingdom every once in a while, and the main purpose of the kingdom's establishment of such a heavy place as Atlanta City in the north, and the stationing of a main battle legion of the kingdom in another province not far away, was to prevent the barbarians from invading. If something goes wrong, it only takes a day's work, and the army can be mobilized to support Atlanta.

However, the geographical location of Atlanta City is special, and all countries on the continent have their own interests here, so the barbarians generally do not invade here, because they do not want to usher in the wrath of the nobles of the whole continent.

After the barbarian's whereabouts were confirmed, the ban on the Boys' Gang was lifted, and Lilia hurriedly arranged for everyone to go to the victim's home to offer condolences and send compensation.

Lilia also went to a family in person, which is a relatively remote family, and to get to this house, you need to pass through a few remote alleys.

By the time she delivered the compensation and came out of the victim's house, the silence in the secluded alley could be heard clearly except for the barking of dogs, and even the fall of needles on the ground.

Lilia's footsteps stopped, listened intently for a while, and suddenly said with disdain, "Come out, don't pretend to be a ghost." ”

"Roar!"

In response to her, there was a beastly roar, and Lilia looked sideways, and two green-furred demon wolves appeared at the two entrances and exits of the alley, the demon wolves were not small, standing upright and more than two meters tall, and their sharp claws glowed with cold light like swords.

Without saying a word, Lilia silently took out a pitch-black long sword from the spatial ring.

At this time, a burly man with an unusual figure walked out from the corner, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, licked his lips, and gave the final order to the demon wolf: "Up, it's best to catch it alive." ”

"This magic array is well arranged, you can't hear it outside like this. Ari walked slowly from the roof of a house, jumped from the roof to the wall, and sat there looking at the burly man with a smile.

The burly man looked around vigilantly, but found no enemies, and looked at Ari with an even more cruel gaze: "Kill him for me." ”

When the demon wolf got the order, he let out a roar and pounced on Ari, who was about to make a move, but Lilia stood in front of him and said, "Leave these two to me, you are in charge of the man"

Ari thought for a moment and said, "Be careful, both of them have the strength of a fourth-level demonic beast,"

Just as Ari was talking, a demon wolf also arrived in front of Lilia, only to see that all its claws were open and grabbed Lilia's chest.

When Lilia saw it, she immediately recited a spell in her mouth, and an earthy yellow light shrouded her in the middle like armor.

The demon wolf's claws gripped the light cluster, and suddenly let out an unpleasant noise. Seeing the action of the light ball blocking the demon wolf, Lilia's long sword stabbed directly at the demon wolf's throat.

The other demon wolf was extremely fast, Lilia's long sword had not yet stabbed, it pounced on Lilia's back, as soon as it landed, it immediately opened its mouth and bit Lilia's head, Lilia felt a gust of evil wind behind her, the figure quickly shook sideways, raised her left foot to relay on the wall, used this foot as a stepping pad, and rose directly into the air, calmly getting out of the encirclement of the two demon wolves.

The demon wolf didn't give up, and jumped up directly, and the sharp claws grabbed Lilia viciously.

Lilia immediately turned the long sword and stabbed it downward, the long sword touched the claws of the demon wolf, and suddenly made a metallic sound of gold and iron, Lilia followed this force, so that her body could have a support point, and at the same time, the body in the air immediately turned half a circle and flashed the claws of the other demon wolf.

By the time she landed on the ground, the burly man had been knocked to the ground by Eri, holding his head and curling up on the ground like a shrimp.

Lilia subconsciously pursed her lips when she saw this scene, she knew that Eri's strength was far above them, but a fifth-level man was solved so silently, which was too exaggerated.

It turns out that he is already so powerful?

Thinking of this, Lilia's eyes as she looked at the demon wolf suddenly narrowed, and an extremely dangerous light flashed in her eyes.
