CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 186 ACCIDENTAL ENCOUNTER

The Dark Crow’s frustrated roar echoed in Landon’s mind.

In his view, although the young fellow he had inadvertently possessed seemed to have decent talent and unbelievable luck, he was still limited by his Rank and his perspective was too shallow and not perceptive enough.

As his host, Landon must correct this flaw!

However, during the two months following Landon, the Dark Crow had been shocked by Landon’s luck.

He had anticipated that Landon would likely be caught midway and would then have to rely on his remaining strength to teleport and escape.

But various coincidences along the way led to their discovery by the enemy’s search party only when they were about to flee to the border of the Morn Kingdom.

Just as the Dark Crow was about to use the last bit of his soul power to help Landon escape the pursuers, a dilapidated ancient ruin suddenly appeared, drawing everyone inside.

The ruins were full of dangers, but Landon and Leia emerged unharmed and even gained significant advantages, both breaking through to a higher Rank, while the pursuers died under the protection of the ruins.

It was simply outrageous.

Landon’s current talent and luck had given him a glimmer of faint hope.

Therefore, the Dark Crow now spared no effort to teach him, hoping that once Landon became a powerful figure, he could help him regain a body and, by the way, seek revenge.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t consider this."

Hearing the familiar roar of the Dark Crow, Landon reflexively shrank his neck, admitting his mistake proficiently, and seemed somewhat fearful of the Dark Crow who shared his body.

During the two months of fleeing, he often received lessons from the Dark Crow due to his insufficient knowledge, each time being scolded fiercely.

But he could feel the Dark Crow’s good intentions; all the lessons were precious experiences that significantly helped him survive.

Thanks to the Dark Crow’s knowledge, he had escaped from the enemy’s encirclement numerous times.

"Alright, you’d better not delve too deep into that mechanical network either, the hidden problems in it are likely complicated, and it’s not something you should touch right now."

After a roar, the Dark Crow dropped the subject and started to talk about their current situation.

"We are temporarily safe after leaving that small kingdom, with no scent to guide them, it would take them at least a few more years to find us.

But don’t slack off! The next time they come looking for us, there won’t just be a few of them. You’d better prepare yourself psychologically; if you haven’t broken through to Fourth Rank by then, you might as well end yourself."

"Also, about that Elf girl following you, she has her own fair share of troubles. Before your foolish kindness gets you and your sister killed, you better figure out how to deal with her."

Mentioning the Elf girl currently accompanying them, Landon couldn’t help but sigh.

She was someone he had won in a dark marketplace auction several days ago, named Frey claimed to be a dispossessed princess from a small kingdom.

Feeling pity for her, he used the resources he obtained from the ruins to outbid several competitors and bought her.

"Landon, what’s wrong?"

Noticing the young man’s gaze, the Elf girl with pale green eyes looked over with concern.

"It’s nothing, I... watch out!"

Just as he was about to say something, Landon suddenly perceived something, his expression changed, he grabbed the two women and leaped backward.

Almost simultaneously, a Strong Acid Bottle landed where they had just been standing, and the splashing acid corroded the stone road, emitting dense white smoke.

At the same time, several figures in black emitting Second and Third Rank auras appeared and surrounded the trio.

"You sure can run, you little rat. Weren’t you jacking up the price with me a moment ago?"

The leading Third Rank man in black stepped forward, glaring venomously at Landon who looked tense.

"Daring to snatch what the boss has reserved? Now, good for you, I won’t bid anymore, I’ll just take it by force!"

"If you don’t want to die, hand over all your money. The girl stays, my brothers will have their fun before we sell her to the brothel. The boy... after we’re done with the boy, we’ll take him to change his gender and also sell him to the brothel!"

Not good, it’s that bidder from the black market who competed with him!

"Impossible, even if I die, I won’t let you succeed!"

Feeling unsure, Landon stiffened his neck, staring angrily at the several thieves, but his peripheral vision was already seeking an escape route.

They were currently on the merchants’ road in Silver Moon City Suburb, with the bustling Silver Moon City not far away. If he could escape into the city, these people would definitely not dare to make a move openly on the streets.

However, what Landon could think of, the black-clad figures could also anticipate. Their positioning completely blocked off any directions for escape.

Grinding his teeth, Landon erupted with a Secret Technique, barely blocking the attack from the Third Rank black-clad figures, but the situation looked perilously close.

At present, his strength had just broken through to Second Rank and even though he still had some aces up his sleeve, it was not enough to truly contend with multiple Third Rank adversaries. Unless something unexpected happened, it would be very difficult for him to escape today.

"Turn into sheep—"

At the critical moment, a spread of faint green magical Radiance suddenly hit the attacking black-clad figures.

"Baa baa—"

In Landon’s astonished gaze, several of the caught-off-guard black-clad figures directly transformed into Mandard sheep wearing clothes, emitting harmless baaing as they panic-strickenly scurried around on the ground.

"Are you all okay—"

A familiar voice rose next to his ear, and Landon looked around somewhat surprised.

"What a coincidence, we meet again, are you all doing well?"

Leaning on a black cane, Anvis lifted his hand with a smile, waving to Landon and the others.

Earlier on, he had sensed Landon’s arrival, and now the timing of his entrance was just right.

"...Lord Vio? What are you doing here?"

Seeing Anvis suddenly appear, Landon was pleasantly surprised, but he also couldn’t help feeling a bit puzzled.

In principle, Lord Vio should still be managing his store in the Morn Kingdom.

"Landon boy, you better be careful, he might have ulterior motives for you."

Perhaps Landon could still think it was a coincidence, but as a High Rank Professional with hundreds of years of Experience, Dark Crow couldn’t help but harbor some doubts.

"Why am I here? That day, not long after you left, someone burnt down my shop with Death Spirit Flames!"

At the mention of this, Anvis couldn’t help but show a look of Anger.

"At that time, I wasn’t in the shop, or else, some people would have had to pay a price for this!"

"And after the shop was burnt down, I had no desire to continue running it; coincidentally, the Alchemy exchange meeting that happens once every three years in Silver Moon City is about to begin, so I came here early to participate."

After hearing Anvis’s words, Landon’s expression turned somewhat strange.

It was obvious that the burning of Lord Vio’s Alchemy Shop at that time was likely inseparable from Lord Dark Crow.

"What impolite things are you thinking about? Moron! It might have been an accident, right?"

Dark Crow’s roaring came again in Landon’s mind, although seemingly a bit lacking in confidence.

"Has Leia’s crystallization sickness been cured? And also, may I ask who this adorable Elf girl is...?"

At that moment, Anvis’s gaze fell on the Elf girl standing beside Landon.

What wonderful ’leeks’, even going out and bringing new wild ’leeks’ back on their own.

In his Destiny Vision, the little Elf next to Landon also shone with dazzling lights of destiny.
