Chapter 424: Kochard: I may have been really wrong
On October 1, the first Academy Cup Martial Arts Meeting in the Odin Continent officially started.
On this day, Atlanta City once again reached a new peak in visitor numbers, reaching an unprecedented six million visitors!
Overnight, accommodation in the city became a scarce resource, and even though hotel prices had tripled, demand still outstripped supply.
As there were more people, the pressure on the garrison increased, and Lilia was so busy these days that she couldn't even spare time to cheer for Joffrey.
In order to maintain order in the city, the Dragon Falcon army was transferred into the city by Lilia to do the work of the city management.
However, there are some things that the Dragon Falcon Army can manage, and some things that can't.
For example, the case of the aristocratic son's brother who she is going to deal with now has to come forward in person.
The two sides are either dukes, or princes and nobles, and the guards around them are more powerful than the other, if you don't want things to end up, she has to calm down the incident, but fortunately, she has dealt with a lot in these days, and she is also familiar with the road.
It's just that she just came out of the security hall when the magic bullet car was stopped by another magic bullet car traveling with her.
The one who stopped the car was the deputy city lord Lannis, who was so busy these days that he finally saw Lilia's car, and immediately didn't care about anything else, and directly ordered the driver to stop the car.
Lilia saw through the car window that it was Lannis's car, thought about it, and got out of the car first, Lannia loved mine and didn't care about greetings when she got out of the car, so she asked directly: "Lilia, have you seen the city lord?"
Lilia shook her head, "I haven't seen him in days. ”
Lannis asked a little anxiously: "Then do you know where he is? There are many problems in the Industrial and Commercial Hall, and if they are not solved by the city lord, it may cause a lot of losses!"
Seeing Lannis's anxious appearance, Lilia knew that the Industrial and Commercial Hall must be very chaotic now, but what about the Garrison Department, not to mention that since Ari was unwilling to come forward, there must be a reason for not wanting to come forward, and she could only comfort: "Doesn't Ari often say, we are crossing the river by feeling the stones now, and we should be more courageous, so don't be afraid of making mistakes." ”
"This ......"
"It's the same with my Garrison, it's like growing up from mistakes, and I think Ari must have meant that too, and if it really comes to a critical time, I'm sure he'll show up. ”
"I hope so. With that, Lannis shook his head and got out of the car.
Lilia stood in place for a while, and walked into the magic car in silence, and Delin, who was sitting in the driver's seat, smiled at this and asked, "Where are you going now?"
"Find Ari. Lilia was succinct in her words.
"Okay, sit tight, let's go now. Delin laughed and skillfully drove the car.
Lilia looked at Delin, who was happy like a child, and a rare smile suddenly appeared on her little face.
Although Delin said that he likes to drive, and being a driver for Lilia is regarded as Lilia accompanying him to practice driving, but Lilia knows in her heart that the teacher will follow her every day because there are too many masters in the city at once and he is not worried about her safety.
These days, if Delin hadn't been by her side, it would never have been as easy for her to handle things as she is now.
Lilia didn't say anything, but she knew better than anyone else.
Resting with her eyes closed all the way, when the magic car was about to leave the city from the north gate, Lilia saw the scenery outside the window, and finally realized that something was wrong, and immediately asked in surprise: "Isn't this the way out of the city?" ”
Delin smiled: "The city has long been out of Luo, and he left alone two days ago." ”
Lilia was stunned: "Not in the city, where did he go?"
"The Arctic Ice Field, I don't know what the specific thing is, but the old man said, this trip is not dangerous, at most a little hardship, since you are looking for him, I will take you over to see. ”
Lilia suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, the only old dean who can be called an old man by Delin, since the old dean said that it was okay, then it must be fine, thinking that Eri actually went to the Arctic Ice Plain alone without telling them, Lilia suddenly couldn't help but clench her fists.
After a while, Lilia let go of her fist and whispered to Delin, "Grandpa Delin, go back to Atlanta." ”
Delin looked back at her in surprise: "Don't go to find Ari, when the time comes, I will throw you to him, and I will secretly attack to create power for you, the two of you will go through the ordeal together, and when you come back, maybe you will ......"
"Grandpa Delin!" Lilia blushed across her face.
Delin laughed: "What's this, grandpa is here." ”
Saying that, Delin couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Ari is a careless little guy, he dared to lie to me when he met for the first time, and he was bold, but if there is anyone on the mainland who can be worthy of my apprentice, then there is only that little guy, so you have to hurry up, doesn't that Carol just have thoughts about him, you two fight openly and secretly every day, but you don't care about the parties involved, grandpa can't see it! ”
Lilia's face was red, and she didn't see the cold appearance she usually had on weekdays, obviously she was moved, but thinking of the current appearance of the Atlanta city lord, Lilia still shook her head and said: "Since he handed over the safety of Atlanta City to me, before he comes back, I will help him guard Atlantan City, and the current Atlanta City cannot do without me." ”
"You stupid boy!" Delin shook his head and said, "Where is the happiness of your life important in a city, as long as there is an old man, the safety of Atlanta City will not be threatened in the slightest!"
"No matter how strong the old dean's grandfather is, he can only protect Atlanta City from being attacked by the enemy from the outside, it is not easy for Ari to get Atlanta City to where it is today, he looks relaxed on the surface, but he doesn't know how many things he has done behind the scenes, he just never told us. So, since these are his hard work, I will protect him while he is away. After Lilia said what was in her heart in one breath, the whole thing was a lot easier.
"You do that to him, does he know?" said Delin, with some distress.
Lilia lowered her head and whispered, "I don't need him to know, it's all my own will." ”
"You stupid boy. Delin sighed, turned the car around, and drove back toward Atlanta.
He knew the character of his apprentice, and since he had decided to change it, it was better to follow her wishes, and wait for Ari to come back and teach her a good lesson......
......
At this time, Ari had just stepped on the ice field, and suddenly his whole body trembled, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.
Did they find out that I was gone?
No, at least I think I can be busy for another two days.
can make him feel inductive, this resentment and strength are not small, who will it be?
Before he could figure out who could pose a threat to him now, a tall and thin middle-aged man in the team suddenly walked up to him with a laugh, patted him on the shoulder, and said proudly: "I'm not used to coming to the ice field for the first time, it's good to come often in the future, although you can reach the second level at the age of fourteen is a genius, but I didn't say you, although your magicians are strong, their bodies are far worse than our warriors." ”
......
The thin middle-aged man's name is Hulan, he is a fourth-level swordsman, he is almost forty years old, if nothing else, he will be a fourth-level warrior in his life.
Although he has a lot of experience, because he is really not young, he can't compete with those young people in Atlanta City, especially since he has worked hard in the north for so many years, and finally formed his own team this year, and he is really a little unaccustomed to asking him to put down the big sword in his hand and go to the city to earn money that may be easier to earn.
So, after a few comfortable days in the city, Hulan took his mercenary group to embark on an adventure in the Arctic Ice Fields again.
Although some people will call him axial, stupid, or even stupid, he obviously has a safer and more comfortable life, but he has to choose a life of licking blood on the head of the knife of life and death adventure.
But Hulan doesn't care, if he wanted to enjoy it, he wouldn't have embarked on the path of a mercenary back then, although he still couldn't live as he hoped when he was a teenager, but at least in this life, he doesn't regret it!
The change in Atlanta City is not without benefits, at least a large number of people choose to stay in Atlanta City, their competitive pressure is much less, and each time the income can be more.
And the most important thing is that their team can also recruit magicians! Although they are young chicks who have just come out of the academy, they are also second-level magicians, although with their team, they don't expect to keep magicians all the time, but it is also a very good result for me to get acquainted with a magician with an unlimited future.
Therefore, even though Ari looked very young, as soon as he saw the badge on his chest that symbolized his status as a second-level magician, the smile on Hulan's face could not be hidden.
Ai Rui looked at Hulan and said, he smirked, and suddenly couldn't help but shake his head.
This Uncle Hulan is good at everything, and he is polite, but he likes to giggle at this point, and he often looks at him and smirks, if it weren't for his no bad behavior in the past two days, Ai Rui would be ready to find a chance to leave the team.
In two days, he followed the mercenary team through the Kawagebo Mountains to the Far North Ice Field, and although Bran Village and Atlanta City were very close to the Far North Ice Field, he really hadn't been there a few times.
And he didn't know what that prophecy meant.
What exactly does the treasure mean, is it the inheritance left in the Tower of Time and Space, if so, where is it in the ice field, what did the two predecessors of Archmage Ruiz and the barbarian god do, and why did the barbarian god say such an inexplicable thing.
Under a lot of questions, he did not rush directly into the ice field, but assumed the name of second-level magician Ai Qing, found a team of mercenaries, and slowly learned from the edge of the ice field.
"Today's target is the most common second-level demonic beast in the ice field, the snow worm, although it is a second-level demonic beast, but in the environment of the ice field, even it is not much better than an ordinary third-level demonic beast.
The most important thing is that as soon as the snow worm appears, there is a nest, at least four, and at most there are even a dozen!
Based on this uncertain situation, ordinary mercenary groups do not dare to fight alone, that is, our various old mercenary groups have the confidence to deal with them. ”
With a hint of pride in his tone, Hulan quietly raised the strength of his mercenary group in front of Eri, and his members were a little ashamed when they heard this, and they all turned their heads to look at other places, as if they hadn't heard it.
What Hulan said is right, the strength of the snow worm is indeed comparable to that of a third-level demonic beast, but there are not many in a nest at all, not even five of them, especially the periphery of the ice field, which has already been swept through, only sporadic fish that have slipped through the net, and it takes a long time to find them, such as a dozen snow worm nests, which were all several years ago.
Their goal this time is to search for these fish that have slipped through the net on the periphery. As for the deeper prey, they didn't think about it at all.
Even snow insects are very difficult to deal with, and when they encounter other magical beasts, they will be cold directly.
Moreover, the economic income of snow insects is higher than that of many intermediate-level magical beasts, whether it is snow insect skin or snow insect meat, it can be sold at a very good price, and it is the first choice for mercenaries with medium and low-level strength to take risks.
"I haven't seen a dozen of them in a litter, but there is really a nest of demonic beasts under our feet, which look like caterpillars, but the body is the size of a lion, about seven or eight......
As soon as Ai Rui finished speaking, Hulan's face suddenly changed, and he grabbed Ai Rui with one hand, and turned his head to the team members and shouted anxiously: "Quickly retreat ten meters, be on guard, and be careful of sneak attacks!"
However, when he grabbed Ari and just exerted his strength, he found that he seemed to have pulled an earth dragon, and almost broke his wrist.
"It's okay, they're all asleep. Ari comforted kindly.
Listening to Eri's words, Hulan even forgot the fact that he didn't pull just now, and asked with a confused face, "Asleep?"
Ari nodded, "yes, I used magic on them when I found them, and I stunned them......"
"You used magic, why didn't we see it?"
Ari said as a matter of course: "I am an ice magician, this is my home field, the snow worms are four meters deep under our feet, I have frozen them with ice magic, as long as you dig down, you can see it." ”
Can you, a second-level magician, freeze seven or eight snow worms with magic?
What are you kidding?
However, Hulan didn't look like a joke when he saw that Ai Rui couldn't help but look at the ice under his feet, and then turned his eyes to the team members, and ordered without hesitation.
