Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

Leon simulated the air map in his mind. The location of Spark Island was quite close to Purgatory Island in terms of straight-line distance, but the latter was located in the Demonic Disaster Area northwest of Ignis Airspace, with an airspace wind wall in the middle.

Therefore, the actual route is to go northeast, then north, and then southwest through the waterway, and then pass through the airspace of Flores and Golasis before entering the Demonic Disaster Area.

Some scholars have a hypothesis that "the airspace wind wall did not exist in the past". An example is that the environment and species distribution of many islands on both sides of the wind wall are very similar.

According to this theory, it is very reasonable for Spark Island to have Salamander distribution.

Naturally, different people had tried to subdue this monster before, but none of them had succeeded.

Those who have attempted to domesticate them from eggs have also failed. These eggs are buried in lava, and the entire Salamander colony has a habit of guarding its nest together during the breeding season, making them very expensive to obtain.

The Linden family is quite capable, having been able to form a contract with a Salamander. However, the Salamanders on Spark Island are not very high-level, and these eggs are all level 4, which may be related to this.

[Hint: Discovered a tamable monster egg]

[Tip: The spirit in the monster egg has been lost, so taming is temporarily unavailable. Injecting volcanic essence can reactivate the spirit.]

The altar space here is quite large and there should have been more eggs, with some broken shells lying around.

The other eggs must have been taken by the Finat family. They must have tried to contract the Salamander, but judging by the results, they were unsuccessful, and some members were so angry that they smashed some of them.

Why did they keep a few eggs until their spiritual power was lost? Maybe they thought that there might be some meaning behind the Linden family placing the eggs in the tomb, so they planned to continue to keep them there for observation.

Leon could conclude that the Lindens did this simply out of custom and belief, allowing the "fire dragon" that blesses the family to accompany their sleeping ancestors.

"What on earth is this?" Dorothy asked, leaning over from behind.

"The monster egg is the fire dragon written on their tombstone. It is actually a monster called Salamander, which is very powerful even in the extraordinary realm."

Dorothy folded her arms and said, "I've seen this kind of monster in a book. It's said to be very gorgeous in appearance."

"Yes." Not only had Li Ang seen them, he had also killed quite a few of them with his own hands.

"Why didn't the Finat family hatch this?"

"Perhaps there is no way to obtain the contract with the Linden family, or the required conditions cannot be met."

"Should we continue to sneak into the Earl's Mansion and look for it?"

"Let's see if we can find anything later."

"Wow, if I can raise one, I can also know the feeling of riding a dragon." The lady looked expectant.

"It's not that simple. Even if we can sign a contract, there are still other conditions that need to be prepared."

Leon would not tell her about the training for now.

Besides, Salamander is a monster that has certain requirements for its living environment. The system's summoned beast panel does have a breeding farm construction function, but the Sky Knight flies around all year round, so a suitable breeding farm must be built on a ship with magic reinforcements.

This again involves getting a good ship first.

"Put it away first, put it away first~"

Dorothy's usual clear and steady articulation gave her words a rare rise at the end. She was delighted at the great success she had achieved at the beginning of her adventure.

She tried to reach out and cup the three eggs, but yelped when she touched the surface.

"I forgot to tell you, this egg has mucus on the surface."

Even after a long time, because these eggs were soaked in magic power when they were conceived in the mother's womb, they can still secrete this protective fluid even if their spirituality is lost.

They only need to replenish volcanic essence to revive, this is the tenacity of monsters.

"Damn...I shouldn't have thrown away the handkerchief after wiping the dust off."

Dorothy looked at the sticky liquid on her hands, not knowing what to do, and her face became increasingly ugly.

"Help." The lady looked over with a sad face.

"You just said you were amazing."

"I really made a big decision to go on this adventure with you. I was afraid you would think I was a monster because of the magic flower, but I still decided to show you. This is already very impressive to me."

"Great people can't handle a little dirt."

Li Ang deliberately did not help her, hoping that she could turn her determination into substantial changes as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Although she has not been directly allowed to join the team yet, because of the magic flower, her potential is fully qualified, and she only lacks the mentality.

But if she can't adapt to small things, Leon would not dare to entrust her with important battles. No matter how great her potential is, she is not suitable to be a teammate.

If she really can't adjust, Leon will have no choice but to abandon her. This feels cruel, but he also has to be responsible for himself, Zoe, and his teammates in the future.

In order to avoid having to face this difficult choice, he would try to force her to move forward from now on.

Dorothy was silent for a few seconds, then she closed her eyes and quickly wiped her hands on her skirt, as if trying to put the memory behind her.

After doing this, she looked straight at Li Ang, silently declaring that she had done it.

She didn't dare touch the monster eggs again, so Leon wrapped them up and put them away.

Dorothy suddenly thought of something: "The Linden family had Salamander, but they were wiped out by the Finat family. The Finat family should be very powerful. Why did they only have one Wenders?"

Her doubts made some sense. Many people on the peaceful islands were weaker than their ancestors. That was usually because they were lazy. As long as the inheritance continued, the strength of the successors in the family could still be barely acceptable.

However, from Leon's understanding, the Finat family has no inheritance related to power.

The reason the Earl invested heavily in Winders was purely due to his talent. His ability to reach the pinnacle of transcendence in the Lancer class gave him the opportunity to cultivate a powerful warrior. This was what Winders himself said during a group chat.

Wenders has surpassed most of the Newbis, and is only slightly behind the Tiantuan, where everyone is at an exceptional level.

After sharing this information with Dorothy, Leon speculated, "According to the inscriptions on these tombstones, they intended to attack the Fire Dragon Ranch, and judging by the historical outcome, they succeeded."

"How did they win?"

"I don't think they have enough high-level warriors. They probably have special attack salamanders or something."

Regardless of the truth, Leon became the biggest beneficiary when it came to the monster problem between the two families.

He didn't need to find the Linden family's contract method, and he could also try to cultivate a level 7 Salamander. This was a wish that the Finat family could not achieve, and it was a power that the Linden family might not perish if they possessed it.

Volcanic Essence is a top-tier Transcendental Material, with the finest reaching the Excellence Realm, similar to the rank of Salamander. While this material is certainly expensive, it's nothing compared to the power of summoned beasts of this caliber.

Leaving the tomb and returning to the secret passage, there are several entrances and exits near the Earl's Mansion.

"What else will you discover? Looking forward to it~"

Dorothy regained her spirits, as if some resentment had been released, and she led the way forward actively.

64. Get Together

The next secret passage began to have upward stairs, which was the first time Leon encountered such a situation.

Most of the previous sections of the road were built on the mezzanine floor expanded from the city's sewer system, but following the upward stairs, you can feel that you have left the underground and reached the ground.

Through observation on the system map, it was found that the secret passage had penetrated deep into the luxurious mansion of the Finat family. The walls on both sides were made of bricks used for building buildings, not large stone bricks.

This is enough to prove that the entire city secret passage was built by the Finat family, and they even started planning it when they were building their own house.

"There's a fork in the road ahead." Dorothy stopped.

The fork in the road she pointed to led one forward and the other upward.

Leon had encountered a fork in the road before. At that time, he decided the general direction, but now he had to decide which floor of the three-story mansion of the Finat family to explore first.

"If you want to find out as much as possible about the secrets of the Earl's Mansion, you should go through it one by one. First downstairs, then upstairs."

"it is good."

The first secret passage on the first floor exited the kitchen. It was past nine in the evening, the time for servants to clean up after dinner, and even the chef to prepare any midnight snacks. Through the secret door, one could hear the clatter of pots and pans and the smell of cooking fumes and detergent.

It seems that this entrance and exit was designed for servants to evacuate the mansion.

The other exit led to the garden behind the mansion. Through the door, they could smell the evening breeze and the scent of green grass. No one was moving, so they opened the door. The front yard, which Leon had visited before, focused on gardening, while the back was a flat, gentle slope covered with soft, young grass.

Part of this area is used as a playground, with various gates for ball games and magical motorcycles produced on Makena Island; the other part is a vast riding training area, which looks like it has animal pens.

"What a luxury, rich people." Li Ang sighed softly.

What the Newbis world lacks most is land.

After the guild was established, it connected the worlds and maintained order, making wars rare. In the four peaceful sky regions, the change of landowners almost never occurred, making it difficult to acquire land from residents or lords who had lived on the various sky islands for generations.

Therefore, no matter how powerful these landlords are, they can be considered rich people if they can freely use such a large piece of land.

"It's a little smaller than mine." Dorothy said casually, as if she was discussing what to eat today.

"I don't want to talk to you about this."

"It's not my turn to inherit, so there's no difference between us. Besides, no matter how big the land is, it's useless if you're not happy living there." Dorothy lost interest and turned back to the secret passage.

"How have you been these last eight years? Have you settled anywhere?" asked Dorothy thoughtfully.

"I live in the Holy City most of the time, renting a house. But if I want to buy a house, I might as well build a good ship and treat it as my home. It will better suit the needs of the Sky Knight's life."

"A big ship is nice too. Can we build a big bathroom? It would be best if the teahouse is also big, and there's a swimming pool. Remember to repair the animal pens. If a Salamander hatches, I won't have to walk around with my feet hurting..."

"Hold on, hold on. Even Kangtan's largest luxury airship can't meet your requirements. Also, why have you already planned it?"

Dorothy turned away with a smile.

"I suddenly realized that I never asked you what air cavalry regiment you're in now? From your tone, it seems like you're the one who calls the shots."

"I'm planning to form a new group, but haven't registered yet."

"Oh? You wanted to test me. I thought it was some awesome group."

Dorothy smiled faintly and quickly explained, "Oh, I don't mind. This is great. Then I will be the elder."

Climb up the stairs in the secret passage. The second floor has a wider range of activities than the first floor, and there are three entrances and exits in total.

In the middle of the first floor of this three-story house is a spacious front hall, which is directly connected to the second floor, so the rooms on the second floor are arranged around the front hall.

There are many large sculptures on the second floor. There is an aisle behind them and an exit is hidden behind the door.

After carefully and slowly pushing open the gap, Leon noticed a servant passing by in the corridor and closed it again.

However, there is nothing to see here, so there is no need to come again.

When Li Ang reached the other side of the second floor from the secret passage, he suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter?" Dorothy looked at him.

Leon frowned, sensing a slight resonance in the magic frequency, indicating that Lancelot was nearby.

The secret passage on the other side is also behind a statue. It is estimated that the secret passage structure on the second floor is used to facilitate evacuation when defending against enemies attacking from the front from a high altitude.

Leon had just opened the secret door a little when he saw Lancelot squatting behind the pedestal of a statue, leaning against the statue to cover himself.

Seeing Leon suddenly appear from the wall, his eyes widened, but his well-trained experience prevented him from crying out.

Leon waved his hand, and Lancelot leaped into the secret door like an anxious monkey.

As soon as the door closed, he looked surprised and said in a low but excited tone: "Hey, what's going on? Did you meet that black-armored bull man?"

"If I meet one, I run fast."

The young man had sustained several injuries, most of which were minor. The most serious was on his chest, where his standard silver armor was split and the wound inside was slightly burned.

He has been holding a silver metal badge in his hand. This thing is called the Healing Badge. After being blessed by the healing profession, the spiritual power inside can draw magic power for healing. It is a standard prop when there is a lack of healers.

Leon released upgraded shaman healing water waves to Lancelot.

"Ah, so comfortable! A sorcerer can do this? How did you know this secret passage?"

"It was discovered by the sorcerer's ability."

"Are sorcerers so awesome? Why didn't I know this before? It's thanks to someone like you who persevered and cultivated to the pinnacle of excellence."

Li Ang would not reveal that his Shaman was also at level 4. After all, most people did not understand the Warlock, so they could just apply everything to the level above.

After recovering, Lancelot said, "That black-armored knight came here to kill me. I don't believe he has no connection with the Empire. Damn it! I haven't heard of such an arrogant local force in a long time."

With the enhancement of the strange purple flesh and blood, the Annihilation Knight can use the magic summons exclusively for 8th-level strongmen. The standard armor of the Order Group is only the pinnacle of the extraordinary realm, and the awakened multi-layer metal defenses will still be broken by the pure magic creation.

Dorothy stared at the deep cuts in the armor. "What's the Black Knight?"

"In order to prevent us from capturing Winders, the empire sent a powerful person of outstanding realm. Are you a little scared?" Leon looked at her.

"The Knight of Order is injured, how can I not be afraid?" The lady curled her lips.

"Who is this?" asked Lancelot.

"A friend." Li Ang said.

Dorothy and Launcelot nodded to each other and introduced their names.

"Friend?" Lancelot turned around and looked at Leon. "Why did you just leave two ladies and bring another one? They are both so outstanding. I am becoming more and more suspicious of you."
