Three months later.

A year after graduating from the academy, Angela has already mixed with several mercenary groups, but none of them meet the adventurous spirit in her heart.

The first mercenary group she joined after graduation, the head of the regiment actually did something to her after a drunken experience, and several other mercenaries were vulgar and coaxing, and the arrogant Angela ran away on the spot, which ended her first mercenary career.

The second mercenary group, at the end of each mission, must be spent and enjoyed, and then start a new mission, it seems that every mission is a knife to lick the blood, and the money is spent when it dies.

The third mercenary group was afraid of the danger of the employer's escort mission, and was timid on the way......

She was also gradually disappointed in the path she had chosen.

this day.

After receiving Orn's letter, a ripple seemed to ignite in her heart, remembering her own longing during her college career.

"Red Ridge Ridge, the Eye of the Sun's Ray Luo's laboratory, actually succeeded?"

She had been very reluctant for Orn to join Relo's lab, but now Relo was on the right track.

"Frost Creation Mercenary Regiment!"

Angela collected her letter and set out on her way to Red Ridge.

After more than ten days, the group finally crossed the vast Gobi and came to this town built on the shore of a sparkling lake.

On the street, in addition to the towering laboratory more than 30 meters high and more than 100 scattered houses, there is also a tavern that has just opened.

The old winemaker basks in the sun.

"Huh?"

In a small Enlightenment Academy, the sound of children reading aloud can be heard.

Angela looked at Shirahoshi who was reading with a group of children, and was greatly shocked to see her happy contentment.

How long has it been since I've been as happy as she is?

There was a long pause in the street before Angela continued to walk forward.

Several women passing by looked at Angela curiously, they were all the families of the workers picked up by the Frost Creation Mercenary Group, and after seeing their families arrive safely, the workers who were determined to stay in the town were completely relieved, and they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts to the young Lord Leiluo.

"Excuse me, lady, there's an underground pipe to be laid here. ”

Several workers are working on the pipes for the town's wastewater treatment under Kodo's direction.

After Angela was stunned for a while, she passed through a magic guide prop processing workshop that had already taken shape, and several alchemists and assistants were installing the large alchemy furnace in the workshop under the command of Xiao Kang.

This mutation rate is fully 2.2% of the alchemy furnace, but Xiao Kang's baby bump.

In a few days, the workshop will officially begin.

Airplanes......

The dark red eyes in the sky, the golden pupils shining the sun's rays into the laboratory, Angela looked at the handwriting at the entrance of the brand-new laboratory.

Leilo Solar Energy Laboratory.

Angela took a deep breath and walked into the lab.

In the well-organized laboratory, everyone was busy, and Orn, who was accompanying Kreelina, looked at the entrance of the laboratory, his face froze, and the distance between him and Krene couldn't help but widen a little.

"Angela!"

He strode to the door of the lab.

Lei Luo, who was carefully collecting the power of radiation with Bai Lian, looked up and saw Angela looking at the bird in a daze, leaning happily on Aoun's side, her face stiffened and said, "Who is she?"

Oh, my God......

Lei Luo felt that his head was swollen, and the joy of harvesting the second gram of radiation Jinghua yesterday was swept away.

After signaling Bai Lian to take care of the experiment first, Lei Luo came to the extremely embarrassed Orn.

"Hi Angela, long time no see. ”

Angela's face was stiff, her body trembling, and she stared at Krelina for Orn's explanation.

"Angina, don't get me wrong, we're just friends, she's Krelina, I told you, the elf lady rescued from the Eagle Forest. ”

"But you didn't say that she would come to you, you said that you came here to help Lei Luo complete the construction of the laboratory!"

Ahem.

Everyone in the laboratory looked at him, and Lei Luo was quite embarrassed and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Lei Luo really has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, looking at the rather embarrassed Orn, Lei Luo can't help but be glad that he is relatively simple.

Well, at the end of the evening experiment, go over and spend time with Lola.

Raylo walks Orn, Cleina, and Angela into a laboratory.

A moment later, Lei Luo walked out alone, faintly able to hear the sobs inside, and hurriedly closed the door.

"Ahem, everybody keep working. ”

Lei Luo paused the collection of radiation power and ran to Xiao Kang's magic prop workshop to discuss how to solve this matter.

......

Meanwhile.

At the entrance of the street in Chijiling Town, a team of dusty knights came.

"This is Red Ridge?"

In front of more than thirty knights, there were two nobles who looked quite sloppy, they looked at the laboratory in the distance, smiled, and led the knights behind them to the front of the castle with the sound of messy horses' hooves.

The women hurried out of the way.

"Baron Leiluo of the Red Ridge Ridge!"

The emaciated, pale eighteen-nineteen-year-old boy shouted in front of the laboratory door.

Orn and Xiao Kang walked out of the magic tool workshop and looked at the two richly dressed nobles in surprise, frowning in confusion.

"You're Baron Raylo?"

"You are?"

Lei Luo looked at the two nobles with a familiar feeling.

This is the impression that Lei Luo should have for the nobility in the small town of Onyx Lake.

"I am Viscount Roy of Andor, and I have heard that sulfur and cuprite have been found in your domain, and according to the laws of the principality, Red Ridge must pay 20% of the tax to Amdo. ”

Belch?

Lei Luo looked at Xiao Kang and said in surprise: "There is this law?"

These days, Lei Luo has been busy with the experimental process and the construction of the town, and all the money he makes is carefully planned, and he has not even thought about paying taxes.

"There is such a rule, but under normal circumstances, who will enforce it? I don't know how many years the lords of the principality have been self-governing in various places, and the law at the beginning of the establishment of this principality is to let those honorary nobles who have no territory have some income, and you know what the honorary nobles are like over the years. ”

Xiao Kang said with a dark face: "These two guys must have come here to find fault, you be careful, the toll paid for setting up a laboratory to transport materials is the most ruthless for Amdo." ”

Lei Luo stared at the two of them, counting the gold coins in his pocket, and groaned.

"So, if I make up now, how much do I need to pay?"

Although it is expected that these two guys are likely to be deliberately looking for fault, and it is even likely to be instructed by some people, but now that the experiment is in a critical period, the chain reaction of collecting 3 grams of radiation ** Hua is imminent, and more is better than less.

If you just lose a little gold, forget it.

"200 gold!"

The other lion opened his mouth, and Lei Luo said angrily: "Impossible, the two mines are poor mines, and the total income in the past few months is only more than two hundred gold coins, the two of you should not go too far, so let's make up to 50 gold coins in Chizhiling." ”

"50 gold coins?"

Lei Luo and Xiao Kang glanced at each other in surprise, but they didn't expect these two to agree?

What exactly is the situation?

Puzzled, after Lei Luo paid 50 gold coins, the two of them took the knight behind them and left without the trouble Lei Luo expected.

But the more so, the more abnormal it becomes!

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, but you have to be careful, you offended a lot of people during the graduation assessment!"

"I'll ask old Nikola tomorrow. ”

Old Nikola is the old scholar of White Ridge Ridge, who developed the sulfur and cuprite mines in partnership with Lei Luo.

When Lei Luo and Xiao Kang were stunned, Angela, the fire phoenix in the laboratory, ran out.

"Lei Luo, I'm going to join your lab!"

Belch?

Lei Luo opened his mouth, looked at Angela's teary eyes, and hesitated slightly: "Of course it's no problem to join the laboratory, it's just ...... Uh, don't you think about the Frost Creation Mercenary Group?"

"Unless Orn joins me along!"

Angela was obviously saddened, she walked down the street, ignoring Relo, she remembered the tavern, and walked straight over.

"Hehe, girl, what to drink?"

After the old sword master of Biang, who was basking in the sun, saw the sad Angela, he came to his senses.

"I'm going to drink, hard wine!"

It was also at this time.

Whoa......

Suddenly, on the surface of the originally calm Crescent Lake, there was a shocking wave, and a tentacle full of suction cups stretched out from the bottom of the lake, dozens of meters long, and swept towards the workers who were building water tower facilities by the lake.

"What is this!"

The sad Angela was stunned for a moment, and she was shocked in her heart, and she instinctively wanted to go over there to rescue, but there was one person who was faster than her, and it was this inconspicuous drunkard in her eyes.

The old man was incredibly fast, and disappeared in a flash.
