"I do, sir. Honorable Lord Abt, I ask you to accept my allegiance to Toria, and from now on, all your sword points to my undying enemy. ”

A cloak woman who had not spoken since leaving the city was the first to salute Abt. She took the lead, apparently saluting at the same time as her group of adventurers in tattered cloaks.

There are people in this world who think they are wise, and there are people who are really wise.

The adventurers of the underworld are most sensitive to information and observation, and without these two skills, they are just scavenging travelers for the rest of their lives.

The news of a mysterious mage in High Rock City repelling the Sea Clan has long been spread, and there is no need for Al, as a member of the four major families, to hide his own prestige. At this time, war was raging, and the country was in need of manpower. Adventurers have a natural hatred for the aristocracy, but it is their turn who is not willing to compete for this glory.

Even Abt, one of the four great families, wanted to get on Al's ship, and how could they, adventurers who were in the bottom of society, not want to. Someone has long wanted to take refuge in this noble mage, but this noble mage has never seen a guest, and he can't even pass the guard of the gate.

As soon as the news of Abt selling his assets to raise money to form a mercenary group came out, some people with a keen sense of smell immediately joined in, waiting to enter the sight of the noble mage in the future.

Now that this noble mage has clearly told everyone that he will help Abt obtain enough knighthood, what are they waiting for? This mage has so many knights with high martial arts, and guards of the twelfth level per capita. Able to get ahead under him, Abt is the best choice.

Al glanced at them, and now Durrey himself controls the data collected by the little rat brother at all times, which can help Al judge their profession and rank at a glance.

This resolute and quiet woman was a ninth-level sword dancer, and her companions were not far behind, and their level was the highest in the group.

"Enough. ”

Al let out a cold snort, interrupting the man who was looking at the situation and was about to speak.

"Tolia, you take in the men, and then follow. Let's go. ”

Artema left, and Abt hurriedly followed, not even caring about his new men.

The people who didn't open their mouths shouted regret, they didn't expect that the so-called knights only had such a few people. If you want to join, you can only become Toria's subordinate.

"Tolia, your party reacts really fast. This became a lackey of the aristocracy. ”

Adventurers who did not become reserve knights, yin and yang strange taunts, secretly divided, and refused to allow these people to be taken away by Tolia. The next time there are nobles recruiting people, these are his forces.

Tolia frowned and chuckled, her demeanor seductive. A thin sword silently stabbed into the man's chest.

"yes, the reaction wasn't fast enough to even eat meat. ”

The city of High Rock is located in the southernmost part of the empire, and Al and his party follow the border line all the way up.

Al deliberately made up for the shortcomings of his tactics and acted as a scout himself along the way. Transformed into a knight in golden armor and propelled and flew in the air, and the red-eyed black crow and the little rat brother around the road fed back the information from time to time and handed it over to Durrey to deal with.

The battlefield reconnaissance mechanism established by Durey has been gradually optimized and improved in practical application with detailed data.

All three mages can fly, and Joshua can give himself a levitation spell if he lacks magic power, and let Lawson drag him along. Knights such as the Iron Guards and Felisto have been trained since childhood, and they are not a problem to travel long distances.

Abt and his novice men were not so comfortable, even though Al had provided these adventurers with expensive horses, and lame horsemanship and physical strength were the factors that constrained the march of the seventy or eighty men.

The stronger Al became, the more adored and excited Abt became, and his future depended on Al, gritting his teeth and persevering all the way. Equestrianism was a compulsory subject for the nobles, and he performed much better than his newly recruited men.

If it weren't for Al slowing down from time to time to give them a break, Torya would have thought that this noble mage was trying to leave them behind.

"Your Highness, there is a grassland ahead. Spending the night in the grassland is extremely dangerous, so please come down and rest in place and make a new route. ”

Hart shouted loudly below.

Al's form stopped, and he looked at the endless grassland in the air for a long time before falling directly to the ground.

Lifted from his golden armor, Al was unremarkable, with a linen robe and a satchel, and a sleeping black cat in his hood. It was impossible to imagine that it was the mage in the sky who had left them far behind.

Compared to Al's calm and calm, the other two mages looked a little embarrassed, and they probably had never experienced this way of traveling.

Ali's legs trembled as he went to prepare dinner for Al and Boone, as it was his duty.

"You rest. I'll just make food for Boone. ”

There was a creek where they camped, and Boone himself went into the water to catch fish. Now its standard fifth-level elite demon is easy to catch a fish.

Except for Lord Boone, who has honey grilled fish to eat, everyone else, whether it is the Son of Magic, the Dragon Vein Warlock, Al, Abt, the Knight, or the Iron Guard, all eat a large pot of rice, a pot of thick soup of vegetables and dried meat, and eat it with dry food.

"Your Highness, according to the news of High Rock City, there is no orc harassment in the nearby Raging Wind City, let's go over and replenish supplies, and then follow this road all the way up ......"

Hart opened a detailed and accurate map provided by the family in front of Al and advised Al not to go from the grasslands. Not to mention the orcs in the grassland, there are also various beast herds and large demonic beasts that inhabit, and it is very dangerous for their team of more than eighty people to be isolated.

The city of high rock is because of the invasion of the sea tribe, and the orcs have divided a strong orc team to attack together, but the city of Fury Wind does not have this kind of alien trouble, and the orcs can be kept out just by retreating to the city.

"It's too time-consuming, go up from the border line, and the supplies are collected on the spot. ”

Al obviously didn't understand the art of war, and Hart was most troubled by such a leader, but fortunately he didn't say anything about this kind of plan to rush into the grassland, and in order to maintain the majesty of the heir, he no longer objected.

At night, waiting for everyone to rest, Al quietly left and came to the grassland. He used the magic gem to arrange the ritual circle, took out a test tube and severed finger from the painstaking efforts of Lady Monlisa, and chanted a hoarse and evil incantation, and the red light on the severed finger quietly appeared.

Through the ritual magic beneath his feet, Al sensed the vague responses of the other remnants of Looman's body, extremely scattered and distant.

And there is a sense that is nearby below. As soon as this rigidity appeared, it was immediately forcibly interrupted, and even fiercely cursed in reverse.

Al immediately withdrew his severed finger and dissolved into a pool of scattered shadows, disconnecting from ritual magic.

As soon as Al dived into the shadows, the ritual circle was controlled, revealing a pair of fierce yellow-green eyes, looking around.

It was a pair of orc eyes.

Everywhere he looked, it was all lifted by his furious force.
