As soon as dawn the next day, Liana led Anthony into the wilderness, without any hidden trace, believing that Ray would soon discover his presence.

Liana suddenly sensed danger, and she knew that it was Ray who had locked onto her.

"Ray, I know you're hiding nearby and hearing me talk, I want you to appear in front of me, otherwise I'll go directly to the settlement and kill all your friends, don't doubt my ability, this is not difficult for me, I just want to talk to you and won't hurt you. Liana shouted.

Ray in the distance listened to it word for word, which was what he feared, and it seemed that Liana had sensed his motives.

"Don't be fooled, boss! Let's just follow them quietly and find a chance to kill them!" An Zifeng persuaded.

"It's useless, no matter what means we use, we can't break through her defenses, don't show up first, I'll talk to him. After Lei Si thought about the meeting, he told An Zifeng not to act rashly.

Liana smirked as she saw Ray appear on the dirt slope in the distance, knowing that it was to be expected that Ray would not watch his companion die.

"Ray, we have finally officially met, let me introduce that my name is Liana from the Hazars family of the Duchy of Light. Liana said with a smile.

Her beautiful smile was disgusting to Ray's eyes.

He showed a disgusted expression and said, "I don't want to know who you are, you can tell me what your purpose is!"

"Okay, Ray, I want you to go with me to the legendary city of the Principality of Light, you can rest assured that I will guarantee your safety with my life, if you do what I say, I will give you whatever you want. Liana said to Ray with a smile.

"I know what you want! Frankly, it's impossible to go with you unless you go back with my corpse!, but I can provide you with two blood samples, which is my biggest concession!" Ray rejected Liana while making his own statement.

"Yes, I accept your terms, and I swear to the god of light that I will not embarrass your companion again after obtaining a blood sample. ”

After a little thought, Liana promised Ray that she had a promise to him that she wanted to repair her relationship with Ray.

When Ray threw the two tubes of blood to Liana, he didn't look back and left.

This little blood will certainly not be able to feed the greedy wolf, and it will only buy a little time.

After Liana got Ray's blood sample, she went back to the city to pick up Connor's uncle and nephew and rushed back to the City of Legends.

After a day of wandering in the wilderness, Lei and An Zifeng finally made a decision to stay away from here! The Duchy of Ferroran is a land of right and wrong, and it is too unsafe to stay here.

After some deliberation, Ray decided to go to Cappuccilon first to earn some money and then see where he went next.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the figures of the two men and a wolf stretched out towards the cappuccilon.

It has to be said that Cappuccilon is the largest city that Ray has ever visited, with all kinds of workshops and shops, and there are still many people walking through the streets in the evening.

After An Zifeng placed the thunder, he took the giant wolf tail that came back from the harvest to hand in the task, and by the way, he resigned and left the city guard.

He was soon back, but his face was a little off.

"The boss is a little bit wrong, just now when I went to ask for my resignation, the person in charge told me that the two of us should meet the city lord Murphy Yard tomorrow, I was worried that there would be some conspiracy. ”

Ray frowned and remained silent, it stands to reason that Liana would not tell him about his secret.

"Let's take a look at what he's saying, he won't embarrass us with his own identity. Ray didn't want to speculate, but now he only saw one step at a time.

An Zifeng spent the night in anxiety, and the next morning, he took Lei to the city lord's mansion.

After a brief briefing, the butler respectfully led the two into the house, and it was a little strange that Murphy Yard received them in the study.

The butler knocked lightly on the door, "Your Excellency, the person you want to see is here." ”

"Come in, and you arrange for lunch, I'll keep two guests for dinner. A sonorous voice came from the room.

The butler's expression was very surprised, seeing that the two of them were obviously not nobles but received such a high-standard reception unprecedentedly.

"Okay, any other orders?"

"No, you go down first. ”

The butler respectfully bowed outside the door, pushed the door and invited them in, and then withdrew.

An Zifeng looked a little cramped and uneasy, this was the first time he had come into contact with someone of such high status.

Murphy Yard rose from his humble chair and greeted the two.

Only then did Lei see his appearance clearly, with short silver hair in his early forties, an angular face with some vicissitudes, and a more calm and capable appearance, a somewhat thin figure, and a black suit wearing a special spirit.

His first impression was that of kindness.

As a subordinate, An Zifeng immediately gave a standard military salute, and Lei pressed his right hand on his chest and bowed.

"No need to be polite, I also want to meet you here to chat more intimately, like friends. Welcome, I'm Murphy Yard. Murphy Yard stretched out his right hand.

Ray stretched out his left hand and shook it, "My name is Ray." ”

The simple answer was neither humble nor arrogant, and An Zifeng also shook his name and reported it.

"I'm really flattered to be summoned by Your Excellency, I don't know what to order?" asked Lei straight to the point.

Murphy Yard smiled at him and didn't answer Ray's question directly: "Orientals have always been good at creating miracles, and this time is no exception. I didn't expect you two to successfully drive out the huge wolf pack and hunt more than 20 giant wolves, and I thank you on behalf of the people of the city. ”

After speaking, he personally poured three glasses of wine, and the three of them clinked glasses ceremoniously.

After taking a sip of wine, Ray said, "We just had better luck after winning the prize." ”

"It's not enough luck to survive in a pack of hundreds of giant wolves that are equivalent to third-order strength warriors, you need at least fifth-order strength. Murphy tentatively said that those blue eyes kept looking at Ray.

Lei knew that he intended to test his strength, so he said, "Frankly speaking, I only have a third-order ability at the moment, and I am indeed a little lucky, if the city lord summons us here, just say what you want." ”

"Well, I also like to be quick and fast, so I'll just say it. Yard put down a map that was open on the table with his glass.

Yard beckoned them to come closer, and he circled an area on the map with his pen and said, "Have you heard of the Borderlands?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads, not knowing what medicine he sold in his gourd,

"The place where you see me circularing is the Borderlands, which is in our family's territory, but it is not actually under our control. There is a lot of land and resources, and each has abundant resources. Yard pressed one hand to the place where he circled the drawing, his eyes full of greed.

Ray saw his purpose, and he wanted to recruit himself to help him expand his territory.

"In that case, why don't you just send troops and horses in?" asked Lei puzzled.

Murphy Yard sighed and told the truth.

After the death of his father, Murphy I, the family lost cohesion, and each branch established its own power, seemingly powerful, but in fact it was already a tiger that had smoothed out its claws.

Borderlands was formerly the domain of Yard's mother's family, and he didn't tell much about it because it involved a lot of personal privacy. Because his father had promised his mother that the area would not be controlled by anyone from the Murphy family, it was named today.

Over the years, many people in the Murphy family have coveted the region and want a piece of the pie, and some branches have even secretly stretched out their black hands to secretly control many areas.

"Do you want us to be your black hand?" Lei asked An Zifeng bluntly, and he pinched a cold sweat for him.

"If you think so, I'll admit it, but I think it's more appropriate for us to work together. It's better to listen to my conditions first, as long as you fight for me, I will provide you with all the materials and 300 elite soldiers, you only need to develop with ability, before the scale is formed, all the benefits are yours, and then I only need forty percent of the profit in return, and the most important point is that everything you get in the borderlands belongs to you, if you have the ability to build a city, you are the lord of the city!" Murphy Yard generously admitted, and threw out a series of tempting conditions.

Ray knew that things would not be so simple, that the more tempting things were, the more deadly they were, and that with Murphy Yard's shrewdness, he could not make a losing deal.

"Why did you choose us?" Ray couldn't figure out how he made such a big decision without knowing much about himself.

"This

I'll tell you later, you can rest assured that I won't harm you. Ray, if you can't make a decision right away, I can give you time to think about it. ”

Lei nodded, originally he wanted to refuse, but he thought that instead of dying in the world, it was better to seize the opportunity to make himself stronger, because no matter where he went, there would be enemies, and only his fists were hard enough was the last word.

It was already late when he left the City Lord's Mansion, and An Zifeng could see Lei's thoughts.

"Boss, do you want to choose to cooperate with him? Do you believe him so easily?"

"Of course not, he still hides a lot of things from me, how can I trust him, it's just that everything he provides is exactly what I need most at the moment. I thought about it, since Liana and the forces behind her can know my whereabouts from thousands of miles away, no matter how much they hide from the enemy, there is a way to find us, it is better to seek an opportunity to strengthen myself and fight with them. Lei looked into the distance and said with a somewhat confused look in his eyes.

Fate is always pulling itself forward in the dark, and he is like a chess piece at his mercy, and if he does not resist a little, he will inevitably lose even the courage to struggle
