Lord Wizard

Chapter 85 Unexpected Changes

"What an unexpected bonus, to actually find Blue Silver Grass."

Lin Meng slowly dug out several wild blue silver grass plants growing around the lake.

He had obtained a few plants in the mysterious hut in the Wood Fang Mountains, which was his first encounter with the power of a wizard.

"This is Blue Silver Grass? The treasure the Mercenary Guild acquired for nearly five thousand gold coins?"

Kers suddenly felt like he was sitting on a mountain of treasures without even realizing it.

First the Scaled Beast, then the Blue Silver Grass, and all these treasures were actually in Snake Valley, not far from Carol City, which made him feel very unreal.

"Yes, we're pretty lucky. Not many people have come to Snake Valley these past few years, otherwise this Blue Silver Grass would have been picked long ago if it grew in such an obvious place."

Lin Meng smiled.

Kers sighed upon hearing Lin Meng's words.

Perhaps this is a misconception. There are quite a few adventurers and mercenaries in Carol City, but they usually go a little further. There is a mountain village below Snake Valley, and villagers often go into the mountains and leave traces on the outskirts, making people think that people frequently come and go.

Even if one or two teams went in, they would be troubled by the endless venomous snakes. If they were unlucky enough to encounter a scaled beast, they would be killed on the spot. Over time, they would naturally give up exploring the Snake Valley.

And now...

The Scaled Beast and the Blue Silver Grass both became Lin Meng's possessions.

Just as Lin Meng finished picking all the Blue Silver Grass, he suddenly felt someone in the real world frantically calling him.

Thinking of the contact information he had left with Zuoqiu, Lin Meng immediately returned to the real world to check it out.

"What happened?"

"We encountered an adventurer team at the third marker in the east. They were led by two great knights and their target was also the scaled beast. Judging from their communication style, I guess they were also a player team. I told Kidd to stall for time, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hold out for long."

Zuoqiu spoke very quickly.

"Wait for me, I'll be right there."

Without saying another word, Lin Meng immediately hung up the phone.

There are estimated to be five to six scaled beasts in the entire Snake Valley, which is equivalent to a profit of five to six million. No team would give up such a large sum of money.

Lin Meng, too, was reluctant to give up this huge sum of money.

Then it comes down to who is stronger.

"You then proceed to the third marker point east of Snake Valley; I'll go ahead."

Upon returning to the wizarding world, Lin Meng uttered a single sentence and immediately began running through the mountains and forests. Possessing a life force field, he rampaged through the forest, treating ordinary insects and snakes as nothing.

"What happened?"

Kers asked, looking puzzled.

"It must be something that happened to Lord Kidd. Lord Kidd and Lord Zuoqiu are both peripheral members of the Mysterious Organization and have a special way of communicating, which allows them to transmit messages across thousands of kilometers."

Quesra explained.

"Such a magical method of communication; the mysterious are indeed unfathomable."

"Let's hurry to the third marker so as not to delay the adults' important business."

……

The third marker, which was originally a field of flowers and grass, is now a mess, where two groups of people are locked in a fierce battle.

A middle-aged man clad in half-body armor brandished a scimitar, pinning Kidd down: "You'd better hand over the heart of the scaled beast, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, this day next year will be your death anniversary."

"Who are you people? The Kingdom of Aden doesn't have a mercenary group as powerful as yours. What exactly do you want in Carol City?"

Kidd said sternly.

The middle-aged man in the half-body armor wasn't much stronger than him, but his swordsmanship was incredibly strange, which allowed him to gain the upper hand.

"Could they really be natives? But how do they know about such a strange and ferocious beast as the Scaled Beast?"

The middle-aged man who fought Kidd had some doubts.

"Ritchie, don't waste time talking to him. Just kill them. This is 'Light of the Sky' territory now. We shouldn't stay here any longer."

Not far away, another great knight finished speaking, killed a knight who was blocking his way, and quickly rushed to the next location.

Without any other experts at the same Great Knight level to stop him, there was no one in the arena who could stand against him.

"Erwin, you do it. Your opponents are just some apprentice knights and knights. I am a genuine Grand Knight."

The half-armored knight, known as Richie, expressed his displeasure upon hearing this.

"Alright, let's deal with him first. We'll leave the knights to Nicole and the others."

The great knight Erwin didn't take it seriously and joined forces with Richie to attack Kidd.

Kidd, who was already at a disadvantage against Richie alone, was even less of a match now that the two of them were working together. He only managed to hold out for a short while before he had several more wounds on his body.

On the other side, the apprentice knights in the arena were no match for that knight Nico, and were quickly killed off.

"Your turn."

After scattering Kidd's men, her gaze fell directly on Zuoqiu, who was locked in a fierce battle with one of her apprentice knights.

"Damn it..."

Seeing the enemy knight charging towards him, Zuoqiu, who had been disguising himself as a novice knight to save his life, could no longer hide. He forced the novice knight away with a single sword strike and turned to run away.

"A knight, actually? But... do you think you can escape?"

Nicole's breakthrough was so impressive that she even made it to the top tier faster than Zuoqiu.

Meanwhile, on the perimeter, a knight swiftly intercepted Zuoqiu, who was attempting to break through.

The two knights, one in front and one behind, quickly completed their pincer attack on him.

"Now you can't escape!"

The female knight smiled somewhat mockingly, but her hand did not slow down at all; she swiftly thrust her cross-shaped sword towards Zuoqiu.

"Ding!"

Zuoqiu deflected the opponent's cross sword with a single sword strike, displaying exquisite swordsmanship and managing to withstand the attacks of the two knights for a time.

"Crimson Flame Sword Technique!? You're from 'Light of the Azure Sky'!"

The female knight Nicole looked for a moment, then her expression changed.

Crimson Flame Sword Technique is indeed one of the signature techniques of Blue Flame Technology Company.

"Light of the Azure Sky!?"

Upon hearing the female knight's cry, Erwin's expression also darkened: "They've actually provoked the Light of the Sky!"

"Damn it, no wonder he's been hiding his strength and not revealing his abilities to break through. He's just stalling for time. There must be other experts of theirs nearby. We need to finish this quickly, kill them all, and then take this scaled beast's heart and leave immediately."

"Ritchie shouted."

As soon as he gave the order, the knights and apprentice knights who had been surrounding the perimeter attacked Zuoqiu and the remaining knight.

Just then, a tremor ran through the jungle to their side, and a voice echoed from afar: "You dare to attack even knowing they are from 'Light of the Sky'?!"
