Marlowe joined the Kobo squad in a daze and also became the vice-captain. Everyone simply agreed on the departure time, it was set at dawn the next day, and then Marlowe asked a lot of questions, he had been an imperial capital guard, and he had much more experience in the field than these people, and all the problems and difficulties that might be encountered along the way were raised, which can be said to be trivial, Marlowe's first idea was to save his life and the lives of these teammates, so anything that might bring bad consequences to the team should be taken into account, which made Kelly say that he was like a wet nurse, Marlowe did not refute, just smiled, he would not be angry with this little girl who was the same age as his daughter。 Sometimes Marlowe himself doesn't know if he joined this team because he missed his daughter......

The rest of the team was impressed by Marlowe, and after Marlowe's tidying up, from weapon matching, food supplies, and tactical tactics to be used against the enemy, they all rose several notches, and the chances of saving their lives were greatly improved. Therefore, everyone is also convinced by Marlowe.

After everyone agreed on all the details, Marlowe assigned the work, the elven ranger Gulmo was responsible for buying survival supplies in the wild, the little priest Alan was responsible for buying food and medicine, and the dwarf Sean was responsible for adjusting weapons, of course, all the expenses were the responsibility of Kelly, which seemed to be a problem for her.

Marlowe finished his assignment and was about to drink some water to moisten his throat.

Kelly leaned over and said a little depressedly: "Uncle Marlowe, do you think you can also assign me something to do? Everyone has a task, why don't you assign it to me?"

Marlowe was about to open his mouth and say, "You ....."

At this time, an old man with white hair and white beard, wearing a gray robe, carrying a magic wand in his hand, rushed in outside the door of the Adventurer's Guild, and said to Kelly with a cold face as soon as he entered the door: "Your task now is to go home with me!!"

When Kelly saw the visitor, she stuck out her little tongue in fright, and suddenly turned behind Marlowe, like a mouse seeing a cat.

The old man walked up to Marlowe and stood still, pointed to Kelly behind Marlowe and said: "I guess you came here, how many times have I told you, you can't go to the Dragon Valley, you just don't listen, I guessed before I heard Alan say that you are recruiting people again, don't hurry up and go home with me, otherwise your father will be angry, and I won't be able to protect you!"

Hearing this, Kelly stood up with a pout, pointed to Alain's nose and said, "Alain!!, you traitor!! you...... You...... I'm going to ignore you anymore!!"

Alain looked at the old man with an embarrassed face, so why did you betray me....... Looking at the angry Kelly, Alan quickly lowered his head, his face flushed, and his voice was like a mosquito: "Li.... Lili, I.... I.... I don't want you to be in danger......"

Kelly doesn't care about so much, rushing over to fight, the old man's figure flickered slightly and floated between the two, Kelly stiffly stopped his hand in the air, and Alain put on a posture of letting you beat and scold.

"It has nothing to do with Young Master Alain, I forced him to say it. "The old man played a round.

Kelly's raised hand trembled slightly, her eyes flashed a few times, she sat on the ground and cried, her limbs slapped the ground and crackled, Kelly, who was still a great swordsman a moment ago, became a willful little girl in an instant.

Seeing this, the old man immediately panicked, and his magic wand also let go, grabbing his beard with both hands and pulling it for a while, and he actually pulled off several of them, and his mouth was not as aggressive as when he came: "This ..... This...... Lily..... Miss Lili, Aunt Lili, Lili's little ancestor, I ..... Ay..... I'm wrong, I'm not trying to blame you, you see..... Don't cry yet....... I..... This..... What can I do?"

Marlowe saw it in his eyes and said with a forced smile: "Sir, although I don't know what happened, I don't think Miss Kelly has done anything out of the ordinary, young people always have to exercise......"

"Huh?" the old man rolled his triangular eyes, and was not polite to others, "Your kid is called Marlowe?"

"Oh?" said Marlowe, wondering, "the old gentleman knows me?"

"Hmph!" the old man's gaze returned to the sharpness he had just now, "Captain Ma Luo of the thirteenth team of the dignified Imperial Capital Escort Team, Seventh-Order Great Sword Master, I'm not wrong, right?"

Marlowe was even more strange, suddenly a person flashed in his heart, Marlowe was so frightened that he quickly stood up, saluted the old man, and said respectfully: "If I am not mistaken, you are the former principal of the Imperial Capital Academy, the old Mr. Byron, who is known as the strongest Divine Magister?!"

The old man snorted and said, "Since you know me, then you kid dare to mess around with our family Lili!"

"I ......" Marlowe was speechless, Byron is known as the strongest divine demon master in the mainland, the law god is not out, Mo fights, he has been in charge of the Imperial Capital Academy for eighty years, and now he doesn't know how old he is, twenty years ago, he suddenly returned to his hometown, which made the court really distressed for a while, but the king can't help it, people like Byron, the price of staying with force is too high, and Byron also said that he will never change in the Holy Kolas Empire for life, if there is a danger of destroying the country in the future, he only needs a letter, his old bones must be on call, and the king had no choice but to approve Byron's resignation。 I didn't expect such a big person to come here, and it seems that the relationship with Kelly is extraordinary.

Ma Luoxin said, where do I know about the relationship between you and Kelly, you know, I won't get involved in this matter if you kill me, but now I can't explain it, so I can only bow my head......

At this time, Kelly secretly raised her eyes while crying, and saw that the two were chatting, and now she stabbed her lung tube, Miss Ben was crying so sadly, you ignored me.

"Wow!!!!! you all bullied me!!!!" Kelly's cry rose a few octaves, "I'm going! I'm going!! if you stop me again, I'll die for you!!!"

Kelly cried and observed Byron, the old man had already begun to stomp his feet in a hurry, where there was a trace of the Holy Magister, it was completely a kind old man who watched his granddaughter cry without a pulse.

Marlowe saw in his eyes that he had a little daughter, and whenever she asked him for this or that, she was like this, coquettish and crying until her goal was achieved. Marlowe thought of this, turned his heart sideways, and said that he loved whoever he loved.

"Don't worry, old gentleman, so be it," Marlowe walked up to Byron and whispered, "I've heard a little about this burial dragon valley, as long as I don't go deep into it, only go around the periphery, the danger is not great, when I was in the imperial capital guard, I also have experience in dealing with high-level demonic beasts, the old gentleman might as well promise Miss Kelly, she will cry badly, and I will do my best to protect her when the time comes, if there is any danger, I will fight with my life, and I will also send Miss Kelly back completely!"

Byron frowned after hearing this, as long as Kelly cried, he was absolutely in a mess, and now listening to Marlowe, he turned his head to look at the other members of the team, and then at Marlowe, and pondered.

At this time, Kelly heard Marlowe talking to herself, and looked at Byron with big eyes, and she had changed from crying to sobbing.

Byron turned his head to look at Kelly again, his eyes full of love.

"Hey!" Byron sighed heavily, and said with a bitter smile helplessly, "That's it, Lili, you can go if you want, I will explain to the Hou Ye......"

"Huh??" After Kelly heard this, she almost couldn't believe it, and stopped crying in an instant, staring at a pair of big eyes that were swollen from crying and saying, "Grandpa Byron, what you said is true?"

Byron bent down and gently touched Kelly's hair and said, "Go, grandpa is old, you shouldn't be stopped from breaking in, but you have to promise grandpa a condition, otherwise I won't agree!"

"yes!!!" Kelly jumped up suddenly, threw herself into Byron's arms and sprinkled coquettishly, and kissed Byron's wrinkled face several times, "I promise I promise, grandpa, whatever conditions you say, I will agree!!"

Byron laughed when he was kissed: "My conditions are very simple, there is a lack of people in your team, do you think grandpa and I are suitable?"

When Kelly heard this, she was a little hesitant in her heart, there are no tigers in the mountains in the current team, and she can say what she is, but if Byron also goes, there will be one more person in charge of herself, but if she doesn't agree, this old old man will definitely not let them go. Kelly said with a struggle on her little face: "Grandpa Byron, of course I welcome you to join ......"

Byron said with a straight face: "Well, then it's decided, I'll go and tell your father now, when will you leave?"

Marlowe said: "The plan is to gather here at dawn tomorrow and set off. ”

Byron groaned for a moment and said, "Okay, it's tomorrow morning." ”

When the others heard that Byron was going with him, they couldn't help but show excitement on their faces, after all, with such a big man to follow, the journey must be much safer and smoother. Only the archmage Lilith was a little unhappy, but she also pouted and didn't dare to speak.

Byron glanced at Lilith, and said with triangular eyes: "I said Lilith, you took my magic art class in the Imperial Capital Academy twenty years ago, do I remember you little girl, what do you mean by pouting?

Lilith shuddered, and said resignedly, "No.... No..... Principal, it's an honor for you to join the team......"

"Hmph!" Byron snorted, "That's pretty much it, okay, boys, go and get your hands on it, I'll go first, old man, I'll meet here tomorrow, if anyone is late, be careful that I beat your ass!"

"Yes....." everyone replied like good students.

Seeing Byron walk out of the Adventurers' Guild, Kelly breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "It's over now, we're going to listen to his endless preaching along the way, hey......."

Marlowe smiled and said, "You should be happy, Principal Byron is known as the strongest Divine Magister in the mainland, and with him to escort us, we have at least a fifty percent chance of success." ”

Kelly looked at Marlowe, showed two small tiger teeth and smiled: "Well, Uncle Marlowe, I like it very much that you helped me talk just now, and you can call me Lili in the future." ”

Marlowe couldn't cry or laugh: "I'm afraid that you will cry and break your body, besides, you perform so well, how can I do if I don't cooperate?"

Kelly glared and said, "How do you know I'm pretending?"

Marlowe said: "You are not a few years older than my youngest daughter, I can't see that little bit of caution, then I haven't been a father for more than ten years in vain, and do you think Old Man Byron can't see it? He hurts you!"

Kelly thought thoughtfully, and spat out: "It seems that I will have to change my method in the future....."

The crowd laughed.

"Bah, Alain, come over to me!" Kelly suddenly shouted, "You say, how to punish you as a traitor?!"

Alain has been nervous since Byron came in, and now he is even more frightened with cold hands and feet, his mouth is stumbling and he doesn't know what to say, and his face is covered with sweat.

At this time, Lilith came over, grabbed Alain and said, "Okay, my little aunt, you see that you scared him, Alain is all right, just like a fool in front of you, he told Principal Byron that there is no malice, he likes you, and he doesn't want you to be in danger!"

"Cut~~" Kelly's face flushed slightly, "Who is rare!I don't want him to like me......"

Marlowe looked at Lilith, and the two smiled knowingly, this pair of enemies was really cute.

"Alright, let's all go and do things according to the plan, meet here tomorrow at dawn, and let's go!" said Marlowe to the crowd.

Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and what to do was done. Marlowe wanted to find a hotel to stay in for the night, but was pulled by Lilith to live or die, so he had to go for a few drinks, which was regarded as a pledge meeting before departure, Marlowe had no choice, and after Gulmo, Sean and Alain returned, he loaded all his luggage into the vehicle, and a group of more than a dozen people drank in the tavern opposite the adventurer's guild.

Marlowe had been a soldier, and the amount of alcohol was already good, and a dozen glasses of ale wine could still stay awake, but Kelly couldn't, and after a few glasses, she crawled on the table and fell asleep, Alain sat next to Kelly and kept driving away mosquitoes and flies for her, but Lilith and the dwarf Sain had a very good amount of alcohol, and they plus ten mercenaries drank loudly on the side. Marlowe looked at the scene in front of him, as if he had returned to his youth, after a battle, the surviving comrades came together to cry and laugh, and gradually, his eyes were a little wet.

"Why, remember to be a soldier?" said Elf Gulmo, holding a glass of ale, he drank slowly but with great grace, "I've also been a soldier and a survivor of war, so I know what you're thinking." ”

"Hehe....." Marlowe rubbed his eyes, took a sip of wine and said, "I know, I saw the mark on your bow, if I am not mistaken, it is the symbol of the 'Night Stalker' of the Royal Assault Force of the Roland Empire, right?"

Gulmo paused, subconsciously covered his bow, his eyes were full of sadness, and then he took a sip of wine and said nothing.

"Everyone has their own secrets, you don't have to say it, and I won't ask it...... If this task can be successfully completed, where are you going to go after that?" Marlowe knew that most of such people had some unspeakable secrets that others could not easily touch, so he had to divert the subject.

Instead of answering Marlowe's question, Gulmo asked, "How much do you know about the Valley of the Buried Dragons?"

Ma Luo thought for a while and said: "Not much, my understanding of the Burial Dragon Valley is still in the memory of decades ago, I only know that it is extremely dangerous, and it is said that there are high-level demonic beasts, and it may even be a twelfth-order beast emperor." ”

Gulmo nodded and said, "The Dark Demon Spider is an eleventh-order ....."

"What!?" Marlowe was startled, and a lot of wine spilled from his glass, "Is the rumor true?"

"I don't know about the rumors, but I do know about this dark demon spider," a flash of anger flashed in Gulmo's eyes, "because my wife died at its hands!"

Marlowe didn't know what to say, it turned out that Gulmo had such a relationship with the Burial Dragon Valley, and he organized the language for a long time, but he still didn't say it, so he could only raise his cup and express his grief in one gulp.

"Actually, I only learned the news recently, you know that elves always have a long lifespan, my wife has been dead for thirty-five years, six months and seven days, I always thought that she was disappointed in me and did not come back, until a while ago, the person who ran out of the Burial Dragon Valley was holding a pendant, I almost recognized it at a glance, this is a token I gave her when I first met her......"

"But......" Marlowe hesitated, "Kelly, do they know?"

Gulmo shook his head.

"Then you ......" Marlowe couldn't speak, he was afraid that Gulmo's revenge would put the others in danger.

"Don't worry, I'm measured, and I won't do anything to hurt Miss Kelly!" Gulmo said firmly, "Kelly is my savior, and I will never hurt her...... Also, I hope you don't tell her about it, I'm afraid she'll be worried. ”

Marlowe hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

Gulmo shook his head and said, "I'll tell you about this because I'm sure you can bring them out safely, and as for the Dark Demon Spider, I have my way......" Gulmo said as he pulled out a dagger from his bosom, which was already rusty, "If nothing else, I'll disappear when I'm sure everyone is safe, this dagger, I think...... If you have the opportunity to go to the Roland Empire in the future, give it to a tree elf named Modo, who should live in the capital. ”

Marlowe took the dagger and secretly made up his mind in his heart, he nodded and said, "If you can come back alive, I will definitely help you deliver it." ”

"Thank you......" Gulmo drained the ale in his hand, and saluted Marlowe.

......

The night's revelry did not affect the spirit of the Kobo team, the next day at dawn, everyone was ready in high spirits, perhaps knowing the danger of this trip, everyone's face looked a little nervous, just at the moment of the arrival of old Byron, Marlowe raised the long sword in his hand, and gave an order: "Go !!"

As a result, the Kobo team marched towards the Burial Dragon Valley, and everyone never dreamed that this mission would not only change the fate of everyone, but also change the pattern of the Elam continent for thousands of years, and it can even be said that Marlowe and Kelly and others have unknowingly become the fuse of the chaos on the continent, and even hundreds of years later, the name of the Kobo team has also become a legend of the Elam continent.......
