Chapter 303 Dark Seal (Part 1)

Three months later.

A year after graduating from the academy, Angina had already joined several mercenary groups, but none of them suited her adventurous spirit.

The leader of the first mercenary group she joined after graduation actually touched her while she was drunk. Several other mercenaries were vulgar and made fun of her. The arrogant Anjina stormed off on the spot, thus ending her career. First mercenary career.

For the second mercenary group, every mission must be completed after all the expenses have been spent and enjoyed before starting a new mission. It seems that every mission is a knife-edge licking blood, meaning that all the money will be spent after death.

The third mercenary group was actually afraid of the danger of their employer's escort mission and became timid during the journey...

She also gradually became a little disappointed with the path she chose.

this day.

After receiving Aoun's letter, a ripple seemed to ignite in her heart, and she remembered her longing for her college career.

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

She was very disapproving of Aoun joining Lei Luo's laboratory at the beginning, but now Lei Luo is on the right track.

"Frost Creation Mercenary Group!"

Angina collected the letter and embarked on the journey to Redridge Ridge.

After more than ten days, the group finally crossed the vast Gobi desert and arrived at this small town built on the shore of a sparkling lake.

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

The old wine man was basking in the sun.

"Huh?"

In a small enlightenment college, the sound of children reading aloud could be heard.

Anjina looked at Bai Xing who was reading with a group of children. Seeing her happiness and contentment, she was greatly shocked in her heart.

How long has it been since you were as happy as her?

There was a pause on the street for a long time before Angina continued to move forward.

Several women passing by looked at Angina curiously. They were all workers' families brought here by the Frost Creation mercenary group. After seeing their families arriving safely, the workers who were determined to stay in the town felt completely at ease. The young Lord Leiluo was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"Madam, please excuse me. We need to lay an underground pipeline here."

Several workers are following Kodo's instructions to lay pipes for the town's wastewater treatment.

After Anjina drove for a while, she passed by a magic prop processing workshop that had taken initial shape. Several alchemists and assistants were installing the large alchemy furnace in the workshop under the command of Xiao Kang.

This mutation rate reaches 2.2% in the alchemy furnace, which is Xiao Kang’s treasure.

In a few days, the workshop will officially start work.

Buzz…

The dark red giant eye in the sky, with its golden pupils, illuminated the sun's rays into the laboratory. Angina looked at the writing on the door of this brand new laboratory.

Lelo Solar Energy Laboratory.

Angina took a deep breath and walked into the laboratory.

In the well-organized laboratory, everyone was busy. Aoun, who was accompanying Krelina, looked at the door of the laboratory, his expression froze, and he couldn't help but slightly distance himself from Krelina.

"Angelina!"

He strode towards the laboratory door.

Lei Luo, who was carefully collecting the power of radiation with Bai Lian, raised his head and looked over. When he saw Angina looking at the bird in a daze, Krelina happily leaning next to Orn, she said with a stiff face: "She who is it?"

Oh my god...

Lei Luo felt that his head was swollen, and the joy of harvesting the second gram of Radiation Capital yesterday was gone.

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

"Hi Angelina, long time no see."

Angina's face was stiff and her body was trembling. She stared at Krelina, waiting for Aoun's explanation.

"Angina, don't get me wrong, we are just friends. She is Krelina, the elf lady I told you I saved from the Magic Eagle Forest."

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

Ahem.

Everyone in the laboratory looked at Lei Luo, who was quite embarrassed and said: "Let's go over and talk."

Lei Luo really had no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. Looking at Aoun who was quite embarrassed, Lei Luo couldn't help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he was relatively simple.

Well, when the experiment is over in the evening, go and spend some time with Laura.

Lei Luo took Aoun, Krelina, and Angina into a laboratory.

After a while, Lei Luo walked out alone. He could faintly hear the sobbing inside and quickly closed the door.

"Ahem, everyone, keep working."

However, Lei Luo suspended the collection of radiation power and ran to Xiao Kang's magic props workshop to discuss how to solve this matter.

…

at the same time.

At the entrance of the street in Red Ridge Town, a group of dusty knights came.

"Is this Redridge Ridge?"

In front of more than thirty knights were two nobles who looked quite dandy. They looked at the laboratory in the distance, smiled, and led the knights behind them to the front of the castle with the messy clatter of horse hooves. .

The women quickly got out of the way of the knights.

"Baron Lei Luo of Redridge Ridge!"

This 18 or 19-year-old boy, who was thin and pale, shouted in front of the laboratory door.

Aoun and Xiao Kang walked out of the magical props workshop and looked at the two richly dressed nobles in surprise, frowning in confusion.

"Are you Baron Lei Luo?"

"Who are you?"

Lei Luo looked at these two noble playboys with a familiar feeling.

This is the impression Lei Luo should have of the nobles in the town of Agate Lake.

"I am Viscount Roy of Andor. I heard that sulfur mines and cuprite mines were discovered in your territory. According to the law of the principality, Redridge Ridge must pay 20% tax to Andor."

Well?

Lei Luo looked at Xiao Kang and said in surprise: "Is there such a law?"

These days, Lei Luo has been busy with the experimental process and town construction. All the money he earned has been planned carefully, and he has not thought about taxes at all.

"There is such a rule, but under normal circumstances no one will enforce it? The lords in various parts of the principality have been autonomous for I don't know how many years. This law at the beginning of the establishment of the principality was to allow those honorary nobles without territories to have some income. Over the years, You also know what honorary nobles are like."

Xiao Kang said with a dark face: "These two guys must have come here to cause trouble. You should be careful. The tolls paid by Anduo when setting up the laboratory to transport materials were the most demanding."

Lei Luo stared at the two of them closely, counting the gold coins in his pocket, looking thoughtful.

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

Although it is expected that these two guys are probably dudes who are deliberately looking for trouble, and may even be under the instructions of some people, the experiment is now at a critical stage. 3 grams of radiation have been collected to verify that the chain reaction is imminent. It is better to do less than to do more. One thing.

If you only lose a few gold coins, forget it.

"200 gold coins!"

The other lion opened his mouth, and Lei Luo said angrily: "Impossible, both mines are poor mines, and the total income in the past few months is only more than two hundred gold coins. You two should not go too far. Let's do this, Red Ridge Ridge A maximum of 50 gold coins can be paid."

"50 gold coins? That's fine!"

Lei Luo and Xiao Kang looked at each other in surprise. Unexpectedly, the two people agreed?

What exactly is going on?

With a look of confusion, after Lei Luo paid 50 gold coins, the two of them took the knight behind them and left in the dust, without the trouble Lei Luo expected at all.

But the more this is the case, the more abnormal it is!

"what happened?"

"I don't know either, but you have to be careful. You will offend a lot of people during your graduation exam!"

"I'll ask old Nicholas tomorrow."

Old Nickola was an old scholar from Whiteridge Ridge, and he developed the sulfur mine and cuprite mine in partnership with Lei Luo.

When Lei Luo and Xiao Kang were stunned and puzzled, Anjana, the fire phoenix, ran out of the laboratory.

"Lei Luo, I want to join your laboratory!"

Well?

Lei Luo opened his mouth, looked at Angina's tearful eyes, and hesitated slightly: "Of course there is no problem in joining the laboratory, but... uh, don't you think about the matter of the Frost Creation Mercenary Group?"

"Unless Ornn joins me!"

Angina was obviously heartbroken. She walked on the street and ignored Lei Luo. She remembered the tavern and walked straight over.

"Haha, girl, what do you want to drink?"

The old swordsman Bion was basking in the sun and became energetic after seeing the sad Angina.

"I want to drink, something strong!"

It was also at this time.

Buzzing...

Suddenly, a huge wave appeared on the originally calm Crescent Lake, and a tentacle covered with suction cups stretched out from the bottom of the lake, dozens of meters long, and rushed towards the workers who were building water tower facilities by the lake. They roll away.

"What's this!"

The sad Angina was stunned for a moment, feeling horrified in her heart. She instinctively wanted to go over there for rescue, but there was someone faster than her, and it was this humble drunkard in her eyes.

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