Li Angzhen put the weakened version of the hero potion in the bag, this is a good thing, but the production is too small, according to Kaka, don't just listen to the three words of the weakened version and feel that you can't consume any materials, just a "heart of ice crystals" that suppresses the irritable medicinal properties is very rare, if it weren't for the small piece of the materials given by the Council of the Chaos City, even these two bottles can't be made, plus there are several other special processes, it can be said that it is more difficult than refining a normal bottle of hero potion.

"Stinky boy, your talent is very good, but it's a pity that you don't want to take the path of alchemy," Kaka glared at the apprentice, "It's sad that you have to go to the path of a warrior on the rotten street!"

"But there's one thing I want to warn you!" Kaka began to pace around the workbench again, "You are now following two career paths at the same time, and your growth rate will definitely be slower than others, so you don't have to compare with Caterina and the others now, and when you reach a certain level or more, you will know the great benefits of dual careers!"

This sentence was a consolation to Li Ang, and Kaka also saw that the apprentice's strength had not improved much recently, and he was worried that he would be anxious because of this, so he rarely taught in a serious tone.

But when he saw the apprentice nodding with a hippie smile, he sighed, "...... In terms of your cheekiness, the right to say it is nothing!"

This sentence is indeed in vain, but it doesn't matter whether the apprentice is thick-skinned or not, but that Li Ang has "experienced" so many games in his previous life, and he doesn't know the characteristics of part-time jobs, so he is not worried about his future growth at all.

"Okay!" the alchemy master waved his hand, as if he wanted to blast this annoying apprentice out quickly, "Quickly go find someone to explain the affairs of your territory, this trip will not be short, I will first get a bottle of potion to let that magic swordsman sleep for ten days and half a month, and then see if there is any way to keep you in touch with the territory!"

This is simply a surprise, if he can maintain contact with the territory outside as Kaka said, Leon will have too much peace of mind when he leaves in the future, so he hurriedly left a quiet workshop for the mentor, and if he can't get it, he will blame himself.

The young lord stood on the manor avenue, and found that the quarrel with the mentor had lightened his mood a lot, and he was in good spirits and not tired, so he went back to his makeshift office and talked with Jeff, who had already returned, until late at night, and then went back to the house to rest, but the great butler, who was sleepy, was bitter.

However, Leon didn't sleep much all night, although he knew intellectually that he had to keep the horse's body and appeared to be calm and composed, but several days had passed since Red was in distress, and Leon was actually a little worried about his current situation, and he didn't know how long this rough man could hold on with his entire Flame Soul.

Tossing and turning until the sky began to shine, Leon sat up and rubbed his somewhat swollen head, deciding to simply go out and make some preparations before leaving.

However, after going out, I found that the carriage was parked on the avenue, Jeff was replenishing some necessities to the carriage with the help of several people, and Caterina and several girls were also standing next to the carriage, chatting and killing the time before departure, it seems that the partners can understand Leon's mood at the moment, and they have already been ready.

At the same time, the door of the temporary workshop was pushed open, and the dwarf alchemist appeared in front of everyone with two dimensional bags on his back, while Dick who came out of another wooden house had bloodshot eyes and seemed to have not slept all night.

"Leon, everyone's here, let's get ready to go," Caterina said.

"Let's go!"

The carriage began to move slowly, and Jeff, who was standing aside to see him off, suddenly remembered something, chased after the carriage, and shouted loudly to the lord sitting in the front of the carriage, "This time I have prepared two portions of fire oil for you! If it can be like the one in Brown Bear Town, the enemy burned to death must also be counted as me!"

Leon rolled his eyelids, unwilling to deal with the shameless chief steward at all, and quickly left the manor as soon as the reins were tightened.

On the way, Leon casually asked Dick about the approximate location of the col, and then called up the map, and found that a location in the pale mountains located in the south-west of the field of vision was gradually revealed, and a little magnification could see that this place was surrounded by several small peaks, and there was a gate-shaped sign in the middle, and a line of small print next to it marked relevant information.

"Ruins. Origin: Unknown. Danger Cheng dù: Unknown. ”

The words "Danger dù unknown" made Li Ang mind a little, which only showed that the amount of information obtained was too small. Until now, the "Ruin Knowledge" in his retrieval skill was displayed as "Level 2", and there was still a long way to go before he could get a detailed explanation of the ruins from the prompts.

There were people in the carriage talking to Dick, mostly about the underground caves, and Leon listened attentively, only to find Kaka sitting next to him rummaging in his pocket.

"Mentor, what are you looking for?" asked Leon curiously.

Kaka ignored him, and finally took out a gem that seemed to have been broken, and stuffed it directly into Leon's hand.

"What is this?" the apprentice looked puzzled, he just glanced at it with "scrutiny", this is the "Broken Salamander Eye", itself the Salamander Eye is a relatively rare natural high-heat gem, but once broken, isn't it equivalent to being wasted? But after Kaka's impatient explanation, Leon discovered another use of this gem.

The Eye of the Salamander is cut through a special process to retain a portion of the heat energy in the broken parts, and there is an inexplicable connection between each part, and once the other parts start to heat up, the temperature of the remaining parts will also increase. The range of this bizarre connection depends on the quality of the gemstone itself and the craftsmanship of the cut, and this one of Kaka is said to be tens of miles. Hundreds of years ago, when alchemists discovered this function of the Salamander's Eye, it was often used as a warning signal to each other in some of the more dangerous areas.

As a result, they soon found that this connection would quickly weaken with the time it was cut, and it would usually disappear completely after ten days and half a month, and the salamander eyes themselves were rare, so this luxury was gradually no longer used.

However, it is a very effective way to communicate for this journey, after all, only Jeff and Eric are left in the territory, as well as those elves who have not yet returned, and their strength is relatively weak.

Li Ang was just about to put it away closely, but suddenly his movements stiffened, and he asked cautiously, "Master Mentor...... You say that with my physique, even if the gem is hot, can you feel it?"

Kaka was also stunned, obviously he hadn't thought about this problem, and then he said angrily: "You won't give it to your little ** and keep it close to you! It's stupid to death! Don't mention that you are my Kaka's apprentice when you go out in the future!"

Li Ang was embarrassed, not only him, but also someone in the carriage was very embarrassed, the alchemy master's roar was so loud that everyone heard it, and then the expressions of several girls were a little strange, and their eyes involuntarily glanced at the ponytail girl in the middle who hung her head deeply.

Leon coughed violently, "We need to speed up!

......

The further south you went, the more uneven the road became, and the young lord, fearing that he would be delayed, drove his carriage around a long way from Locketown, arriving at the border an hour earlier than expected.

The green area has long since disappeared, replaced by a dry red yellow land, and a strong military fortress is just in front of it, which is Markburg.

In Leon's memory, this was also the first time he saw the whole picture of Markburg. The entire fortress covers almost half the size of the lord's manor, and is made up of a large number of uncarved long boulders, which is quite rugged. The four corners of the fortress are scattered with four towers more than ten meters high, which serve both observation and long-range attacks, and the highest part of the outer wall is full of small attack ports for archers to shoot.

The outer walls of the fortress must be at least a few meters wide, a wide gate facing the avenue leading to the fortress, and several soldiers at the top of the wall were pointing to the carriage coming from the territory of the country.

When Leon revealed his identity, the door soon opened, and Luthor strode out.

Leon declined the invitation to let him inside the fortress, and simply told Luthor about his purpose, but was counted out by the other party.

"As a lord, how can you take risks lightly!" Luthor frowned, "Your safety is the safety of your territory! What you should do now is to stay in your manor honestly, manage your territory well, and run out and take risks, it's just whimsical!"

Li Ang was deeply aware of the stubbornness of this old comrade, so he had already thought of another rhetoric. Of course, the first thing to emphasize is that this time the destination is on the edge of the Pale Mountains, and the danger is not high, and secondly, you have to exaggerate the harvest, and if you want to develop the territory, you must have money, right?

Unfortunately, given Leon's previous appearance, Luthor wouldn't believe this kid's words too much anyway, but he saw that his attitude was very resolute, and there was indeed a sentence that touched him - I have to go through some training to grow now, and you can't watch me develop the territory and not have the corresponding strength to protect the territory, right?

Luthor was silent for a long time, and then said, "Do you need me to send you a few cavalry?" Although half of the cavalry team has been transferred by the commander, I can still mobilize some of the remaining people. ”

This mention impressed Li Ang, but he looked in the direction of the border and finally refused.

This is the cavalry of the border guard, half of which has been transferred by the commander, and some more people have been assigned to him, how many people can protect the border? This is his own territory! Think about the large-scale invasion of Brown Bear Town, and then think about the attitude of Fort Edmond to this situation, so it is already a great benefit to him to have Luther from Fort Mark here to maintain the security of the border, how can he borrow his soldiers? And once there are casualties, it is estimated that Luthor, as the deputy commander, will not be able to explain to the commander.

Although Tiyì was rejected by Leon, Luthor was relieved, and the concerns that the young man had just said showed that he had fully matured and was no longer the one who relied on others to survive.

"Don't worry about the territory, do a good job! you must come back alive!" Luthor smacked Leon in the chest with his fist, "I hope to see you reach the heights of the old earl in my lifetime!"
