After getting off the ship, Kaichi returned to the city, picked up Xiaoqing from Esna, and went to stay at the best hotel in the city, and by the way, asked the guys in the shop to go to the dock to inform the captain of the ship, Old Ferdin.

When that's all over, it's time for dinner, and the day goes by.

Kaichi was a little moved by Cole's request, but he wasn't sure what kind of person the other party was. Although as mages, they rarely do each other directly, because everyone is considered a person with status, and there is rarely anything worthy of everyone's direct action, at least the place that is suspected to be a leyline node is not enough.

If it was a thousand years ago, there was no mage academy, and there was no magic circle that artificially gathered magic elements, then the value of that demon-rich place was very high, comparable to the cave heaven blessed land in Xianxia novels. But with the Gathering Magic Array, although the value of this kind of place is still very high, it is no longer priceless, especially if there is an elemental pool that can extract magic power from the void with the Mage Tower, this kind of location is far from comparable.

Jiayi thought about it for a long time, still hesitating, on the one hand, he felt that as long as he was ready, even if he couldn't win, he could always run away, even if he couldn't outrun the meerkat, he could always outrun his teammates, on the other hand, he was not a person who was willing to take risks, even if he read novels, he also liked invincible streams, watching movies, and only watching popcorn movies.

After all, if you don't die, you won't die.

After struggling for a long time, he felt that his choice difficulty had been committed again.

"Forget it, I don't look like a bad guy like Cole, just give him a chance, visit him tomorrow, give him a chance to convince himself, and if he can convince me, agree to go along. In the end, Jia Yi still couldn't decide, and it was the right thing to practice and sleep first.

The next day, when Kaichi returned from morning class outside the city, he saw Cole, who was looking for him.

"Why did you get out so early, was there anything urgent?" Cole asked.

Jia Yi said: "No, I just went outside the city for a routine exercise, and the hotel was too small to perform." ”

Cole opened his mouth and didn't continue to ask, everyone is a mage, cultivation is nothing more than meditation, why do you need a big venue, but everyone has their own habits, maybe Jia Yi wants to have a strong physique, and he can escape faster.

"You came to me so early, is there anything wrong?"

Cole didn't answer directly, found a seat and sat down with Jiayi, and then said, "I want to ask you how you think about it." ”

After speaking, he called the clerk over and ordered breakfast.

Jia Yi didn't eat breakfast either, and also ordered a vegetable soup, plus a charcoal-grilled smoked fish and two pieces of bread. The bread here is actually a dough cake, which is not eaten with soup and cannot be swallowed at all, but it has a different flavor after dipping it in the soup.

"So urgent?" he slept directly after struggling for a long time last night, and now he didn't even think about whether he should agree or not.

"Ahem. Cole coughed lightly, "There are only two official mages in Kuska Harbor, one is me and the other is Yuriga, the advisor to the city lord. Ever since I discovered the mongoose's lair, I've been trying to occupy it. But the mongoose is not something I can deal with alone, so I can only drag it off. But if I can't take it first and be discovered by Yurijia, I won't be able to rob him, after all, he is closer to the city lord and is the city lord's advisor. ”

"If you occupy it, you're not afraid of him robbing it?" asked Jiayi.

"He's not as strong as me, and my potions work well. ”

Jia Yi was a little puzzled, if your potion is done well, the other party will not dare to touch you? Could it be that the other party has something unspeakable and needs your medicine.

"I still have some customers, and if he dares to come and grab them, he wants to see who will suffer. As long as I occupy it first, he doesn't dare to make any moves, at most he will pass the lord's test, as long as he ignores it, it doesn't matter, does the lord really dare to send troops. But if the other party discovers this place, he can use the knights of the city lord to help him get rid of the meerkat, and there will be nothing to do with me. Regardless, this is within the castle lord's territory. ”

Jia Yi understood now, in fact, he and Yurijia are about the same level, Cole's magic level is higher, but Yurijia has the support of the lord, so the two sides are almost evenly matched, whoever takes the meerkat first and occupies the rich demon site, he will get the first move, no accident, almost decided. Now Cole has the initiative, because he is the only one who has discovered it, but if he can't occupy it first and is discovered by Yurijia, Yurijia can use the power of the city lord to pile up the meerkats by manpower.

So in order to avoid long nights and dreams, Cole wants to make the established facts before the other party finds out. I just don't know why he didn't look for his own customers to help him, and he wanted to find himself as a passerby, like pulling a random person from the street.

Jia Yi didn't hide his thoughts, and asked directly.

"I wanted to do it in secret, because more people were likely to leak the news, and I had more of a transactional relationship with my clients, which would help me grow my voice, not necessarily if I did," Cole said. I'm so confident, more because of my magical prowess. ”

"Why does it have to be me?"

"As I said, you are passing by, you won't fight with me, and you don't have to worry about what connection you have with Yurija, and you won't have to leak the news. And judging by your dress and demeanor, your teacher must have graduated from a regular college, plus you have repelled a large wave of water bandits, and your strength is guaranteed. Combined, the two of us will definitely be able to kill that meerkat. ”

"But I'm not as confident as you are. Have you ever fought that mongoose? You're so familiar with it. "Since Cole knows so much about the situation there of the meerkat, it proves that he has at least seen the meerkat, and there is a high probability that he has even fought again. Thinking about it this way, it's really good that he was able to escape to prove his strength.

But Jia Yi couldn't understand why he was still so confident, it couldn't be that the meerkat was just a false appearance, but the statistics never lie.

Cole nodded: "I got there because of an accident, it's still relatively hidden, after encountering that meerkat, I did have a fight with it, and I used a precious scroll to escape." ”

"Can you tell me about the meerkat? I haven't seen it yet. "At this time, there were no illustrations in the book, and even if some of them did have pictures, they were somewhat vague, and it is likely that the person who drew them had never seen the meerkat, and only made up for it by the description.

"The meerkat is more than 2 yards long, and its head and face are a bit like a mole, but it is so fast that my magic can't hit it at all, and its claws are very sharp, especially with the wind blade attached, it shattered my magic shield in two clicks, and I could only use a rapid scroll to increase my speed, and I released a slowing spell on the other party before escaping back. ”

Jia must have looked at him fixedly, the magic shield was broken in two clicks, without the magic shield, he was not allowed to be slaughtered by the other party, how could he be confident that such a powerful demonic beast could win. With the speed of the other party, the difference between two people and one person is really not very big.
