Translator: 549690339
On the way back to Golin City, Leo Ray, who was in the absolute center position of the team, found a new way to pass the time.
That is, using Mind Talk to chat remotely with other subordinates. Next, through further communication with Joshua Bingaman, Leo Ray learned that.
The Tier 3 Ice Crystal Holy Spirit Pill had been secretly sent back to the Rivers Family’s territory, Firsdale City, by a loyal family guard leader.
The process of exchanging for magic medicine went very smoothly as well.
With Leo Ray’s ample financial support and Joshua’s understanding of the attending alchemists, they quickly targeted and collected many rare medicines that were usually hard to come by.
Among them were almost depleted Qi Condensing Pills and several healing medicines with good effects for treating injuries.
“Joshua, you did an excellent job.”
In the cold wind, while experiencing the thrill of riding a roller coaster, Leo Ray covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from speaking at a breaking pitch.
The sun set in the west, and as he looked at the mountains quickly passing by in the distance, Leo Ray asked, “Joshua, what do you think of your other two competitors, Orion Wolfe of the Frost Family and Michael Wood of the Hernandez Family?”
On the other side, Joshua Bingaman’s clear and pleasant voice immediately rang out, obviously understanding Leo Ray’s thoughts: “My Lord, these two were once my classmates at the Royal Noble Academy, and I do have some understanding of them.”
As he spoke, a creaking sound of a door opening came from Joshua’s side, indicating that he had just returned to his residence.
Then, her voice combined with the sound of drawing curtains, came over: “The Frost Family that Orion belongs to, like our Rivers Family, is a traditional noble family of the kingdom. Although he is quite annoying, his family has a good reputation and is almost on par with our Rivers Family in the kingdom.”
In the past, we always suppressed the Frost Family, but after the accident five years ago, they started to show signs of surpassing us.”
At this time, Joshua’s side transmitted some rustling sounds: “As for Orion Wolfe himself, apart from his annoying sharp teeth and fangs, honestly apart from that, his character is not bad).
When I was studying, I often saw him playing with children in the slums on the outskirts of the Royal Capital, and handing out food to them.”
“I see.”
Upon hearing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and asked, “What about the dazzling records between you and her, like the pursuer’s…”
“My Lord, those are all just rumors!”
On the other side, Joshua’s somewhat panicked voice came over: “Don’t believe those rumors, my Lord!”
“Understood.”
With a faint smile, looking at the two moons that had quietly risen to mid-air,
Leo Ray asked, “What about Michael Wood from the Hernandez Family?” “My Lord, you must pay more attention to this guy.”
At the sound of this, Joshua’s crisp voice became more formal: “The Hernandez Family is a new noble family that has risen in the Coldflame Kingdom in recent decades, with a bad reputation and no sense of nobility to speak of.
Michael Wood is the same, relying on his family’s power, and doesn’t care about anyone.”
“Understood.” Nodding thoughtfully, Leo Ray continued, “Alright Joshua, you should rest for now, and feel free to contact me if you have any issues.”
Closing his mind talk, Leo Ray noticed that there were some changes.Under the moonlight, the outline of Golin City, located at the bottom of the mountain range, was already clearly visible.
Just like that, they returned to the bustling Golin City. Since it was not yet the agreed-upon time, Leo Ray led his subordinates to the food street in the commercial district.
They strolled leisurely along the street, filled with the smell of food and the hustle and bustle of people. After everyone had eaten and drank their fill, they set off toward the fork in the road leading to North Mountain.
Easily passing through a checkpoint of Golin City’s Defense Army, Leo Ray quickly found Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore, who had been waiting for them behind a large tree in a secluded area at the junction.
At this time, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and Taylor were all wearing Invisibility Cloaks. Only Gideon Black, who had been disguised by an illusion, and Scarlett walked behind Leo Ray.
“Mr. Christopher, you’re here!”
Upon seeing the trio, Solomon Rue, who had a short sword at his waist, immediately greeted them excitedly. “I didn’t expect Master Leo to be promoted to a Level 6 Mansion in the afternoon directly. It’s too incredible!”
On the other side, Sylvia Moore, sporting a sleek ponytail and an executive of Master Leo’s No.5 Fan Club, was also visibly excited. She added, “I knew it! Master Leo is the best!”
Sylvia then puffed out her chest and spoke proudly to Leo Ray, “What do you think, Mr. Christopher? Isn’t our Master Leo amazing?”
“Amazing. indeed. I carved the words ‘Master Leo is amazing’ on a stone during
the Jurassic period,” Leo Ray calmly replied with a slight smile.
“Of course.” Sylvia flicked her ponytail and snorted, “How about now? Do you know how far you are behind Master Leo?”
“Sis, did you forget how Mr. Christopher helped us at the Trading Conference during the day?”
Upon hearing this, Solomon Rue frowned and tugged at Sylvia’s sleeve.
“Besides, Mr. Christopher is here to join us in exploring the abandoned mine. Can you please treat him better?”
“Hmph, a guy with an unknown background.” Somewhat embarrassed, Sylvia could only mumble softly and stop talking.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Christopher, my sister is just hot-tempered.” Solomon Rue scratched his nose and apologized awkwardly to Leo Ray.
“It’s alright, let’s go.” Leo Ray nodded slightly and smiled.
Thus, led by Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore, their group set off into the depths of the mountain under the moonlight.
About an hour later, after climbing over a small mountain, the path beneath their feet began to even out.
After walking along an uneven mountain road for some time, they came across a cave entrance at the edge of a cliff.
Under the bright moonlight, a tattered rail track extended out from the cave, clearly having been abandoned for a long time.
Noticing this, Leo Ray saw that there were already nearly 20 farmers waiting at the entrance of the cave.
From their aura, they were like Gavin Sullivan and the others when they were first summoned, all between Tier 1 One-star and Two-star.
On the other side, the farmers holding rough logging axes and crude stone pickaxes immediately approached Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore and split into two camps.
Undoubtedly, these farmers were the subordinates of the two.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Christopher, this is already our strongest force,” said Solomon Rue with an apologetic smile, wiping his sweat. “Shall we go in and take a look?”
“Let’s go.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray, still calm and composed, took the lead, walking slowly in front, followed closely by Gideon Black and Scarlett..
