Belmont and Anrui looked at each other for a few seconds, understanding the customer's determination. "It seems that I have to earn this blood-stained gold coin." Belmont drank the wine in one gulp. The drink is blood red. In the end, the deal was completed at a high price of 250,000 gold coins. The Shadow Mercenary Group will send troops to help Anrui participate in the war with the goal of annihilating the Blood Blade pirates. During the battle, the enemy ships captured by the Shadow Mercenary Group will belong to them. When leaving Yongye Island, there were seven additional ships from the Shadow Mercenary Group behind Anrui's fleet. Three of them were special ships, and the rest were ordinary sailing ships that were fast and easy to move. With the help of the Shadow Mercenary Group, their combat power suddenly increased significantly. On the day of leaving Yongye Island, news came back from the ancient country of Aram that the people sent by the king had found the ancient tomb of Caesar, proving that what An Rui said was true. "The king's words can never be recovered. I have promised you before that I will lend you two hundred griffons. Tell me the location and I will send the two hundred griffons over right now." The king said these words. When speaking, the tone was quite pleasant. The value of Caesar's tomb is far more than two hundred griffins. It's strange that the king is unhappy. He may even be smiling with joy now. Anrui reported a location and asked the king to send all the griffins there, and reminded him to hurry and arrive before the third day of the Lover's Month. This date is so tight that even the fast gryphon has to go all out to make it as scheduled. With the current combat power, it should be enough to deal with the pirates like Blood Blade. But Anrui was still a little dissatisfied and decided to absorb some more power. The fleet headed towards Niujiao Bay through the waves, and stopped again midway. An Rui led the people ashore. Went to a cave on the shore. This cave is called the Mouse Cave, and there are a large number of rat-shaped monsters living in it. These strange rats are huge in size, with an adult being more than a yard long, and have a very ferocious temperament. An Rui led people into the cave and reached the deepest part of the cave, leaving a large number of strange rat corpses along the way. He used the luminous stone to illuminate a circle in the cave. His eyes brightened slightly, he found a specific place and walked over. From the outside. It was just ordinary ground here, covered by a thick layer of rat droppings. Anrui used tools to dig up the rat droppings and the soil. As he dug, a dazzling red light suddenly appeared from the ground. He moved lightly. Digging out the shiny red thing. This thing is a diamond-shaped red gem. The whole body is crystal clear without any impurities. At first glance, it looks like a priceless gem. Anrui put away the ruby. This thing is a small bargaining chip, which can be exchanged for a chance to help from a strong man. He took the ruby ????again and rushed to the next destination. The place we came to this time was a tall tower called the Clock Tower. Clock Tower, this is the name of a tower. It is also the title of a powerful wizard. When An Rui approached the tower, a warning red barrier appeared on the surrounding ground. Blocked his way. "This is the wizard's workshop. No outsiders are allowed to disturb you. If you have nothing to do, please go back." An indifferent voice sounded, echoing around. The wizard's workshop refers to the wizard's residence. The wizard lives here, practices here, and conducts research here. Wizard workshops are generally equipped with various barriers and mechanisms to prevent stray people from approaching, making it a relatively dangerous place. Wizard workshops have various appearances, including castle-like ones, tower-like ones, and even dungeons. The clock tower in front of you is a typical tower-shaped wizard's workshop. "I'm sorry, Lord Ross, please forgive me for my rash visit. I'm here to tell you something very important, and please give me a chance." An Rui said politely. "What important thing do you want to tell me?" The indifferent voice sounded again. "I heard that you made a promise to the outside world, claiming that once someone helps you find the 'Scarlet Heart', you will do something for him. As long as the matter does not violate your conscience and is within your ability, you will definitely help This person did it well." "It happened, but it was many years ago. I didn't expect anyone to remember it now." "I hope your promise will not become invalid due to the passage of time." "Listen. The tone of your words, could it be that you have found the 'Scarlet Heart'?" There was obviously a wave of emotion in the indifferent voice. "Yes, I was lucky enough to find the 'Scarlet Heart'." An Rui said, reaching into his pocket, rummaging for a while, and took out a huge red gem. This gem is the so-called Scarlet Heart. From the outside, this is indeed?Like a red heart. An Rui raised the Scarlet Heart and shook it three times. Although there was no one around, he knew that the wizard named Rose must be observing his every move in another way. Sure enough, Rose's surprised voice soon rang out: "Scarlet Heart! It's really the Scarlet Heart! After so many years, someone finally found it. I'll untie the barrier right now, and you can take this piece of scarlet Send me your heart. Don¡¯t worry, my promise back then still stands and I will fulfill it.¡± The red barrier is like opening a door, revealing a passage to the inside. An Rui smiled slightly and walked in holding the scarlet heart. This time he must tie the powerful wizard to his chariot and use the wizard's power. Ross is one of the strongest wizards in the Sea of ??Blades. His strength is comparable to that of the dean of Tears of Stars Academy. He is proficient in advanced "time system" magic and can speed up the passage of time or reverse its passage. Time magic and space magic are the two most difficult types of magic to master in the world, and their effects are also the most powerful, surpassing ordinary elemental magic. Only a very small number of wizards can understand the models of these two magic systems. You can count the number of wizards who master time magic on your fingers, and there are only a few in the world. As for becoming a strong person in this area, it is even more difficult. Even a wizard genius like Sam cannot master time magic. He has tried before, but all failed. The model complexity of time magic is not at the same level as other magic models. Only the geniuses among geniuses can master the magic of time! With Rose¡¯s strength, he alone can sweep away the Blood Blade pirate group. But he hates killing, and he doesn't like to go on a killing spree. Even if Anrui helps him find the scarlet heart he dreams of, he can't help him. It might be possible to ask him to help kill one or two people, but he would not agree to killing too many people. Anrui entered the clock tower without any obstruction and met the legendary time wizard in a simple living room. Ross is an elderly elf man with gray hair, spread down behind his head and neatly groomed. It can be seen that this man should have been a handsome guy when he was young. He was wearing a white robe with an embroidered clock-like pattern on his chest. An Rui stepped forward quickly, greeted him politely, and handed the scarlet heart out. Rose held the Scarlet Heart in his hand, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "This was my wife's favorite jewelry. After she passed away, I kept it with me. I didn't know where it was lost later, so I looked everywhere for it. I couldn't find it either. I was anxious, so I made the promise you made before, and mobilized outsiders to help me find the Scarlet Heart, but the ones they found were all fakes, and you were the only one. What one person brings is the real thing. "For An Rui, this is a search task, and it certainly doesn't take much effort to find it. "I am proficient in time magic and can control time, but even if I control time, there are still things that cannot be undone." Rose stared at the red gem in his hand, "I don't know how she is doing in heaven." The effect of time magic is It is limited and can only change the passage of time to a certain extent. It cannot rejuvenate people, nor can it resurrect a person who has been dead for too long. ¡°After all, wizards are just mortals. Only those ignorant guys like Atoya would brag about wizards becoming gods. After sighing with emotion, Ross put the gem away and changed the subject: "Tell me. What do you want me to do for you." This is what An Rui was waiting for. "It's very simple. I hope you can help me deal with a pirate named Blood Blade." An Rui said with burning eyes. That day, the wizard who had lived in the clock tower for a long time followed An Rui on the boat. Ross acted very low-key and told Anrui several times not to be arrogant and not to disturb him too much. Only at critical moments could he be called upon to come forward. Naturally, Anrui couldn't refuse such a small request. The fleet once again passed by the Aoki Kingdom and absorbed a group of new troops from the Aoki Kingdom. This group of new members are all Alice's old men when she was a big thief. After they learned from Alice about the difficulties faced by Anrui, they all volunteered to help Anrui and join in the fun. Of course, An Rui couldn't let them help in vain, and would definitely pay some commission. These former members of Alice's army are all extremely skilled elven archers, and together they have considerable fighting power. After another two days, the fleet finally arrived at the scheduled meeting point. This is a little-known desert??, only a day's sail from Niujiao Bay. The second fleet led by Sam has arrived here first and is waiting for An Rui's arrival. In addition, the gryphon troops from the ancient country of Aram have also arrived here, ready to be dispatched by An Rui at any time. The king of ancient Syria fulfilled his previous promise. Sam¡¯s second fleet has been lined up and stayed on the beach. After a long period of development, the fleet has grown to ten ships, and a new special ship has been added. The second fleet has been doing business and made a lot of money by reselling ore. An Rui did not keep the money, but let Sam use it as development funds, and all of it was invested in the fleet. The money spent on the blade has sharpened the edge of this fleet. On the shore near the fleet, there are more than 200 griffins, which form a fierce landscape. (To be continued)
