I... I'm going?"

Xiao Kang, who was holding a flying scroll, stared at this scene in stunned silence.

The swordsmen on the deck who were busy cutting the ropes also widened their eyes. The silver-armored captain who had been so arrogant just now suddenly exploded into pieces, and the minced meat and blood splashed all over the deck.

"Ah!"

The head wearing a metal helmet fell into the cabin. A passenger with a big belly said "ah" and fainted on the spot.

After Bai Xing took a deep breath, he slowly put away his bow and arrow, looked at Reilo, and recalled the trip to the Furnace Mountains half a year ago.

"It's true again, this guy!"

Bai Xing obviously regards Reilo as a guy who plays tricks on the enemy and then secretly seeks the pleasure of explosion and killing.

"Huh."

Reilo stood up slowly and wiped the blood from his face.

After the first experience, he seemed to have adapted. He pushed the lower body of Captain Shining Armor aside, and Reilo slowly stood up. The first thing he did was lower his head and groped for Captain Shining Armor's body, looking for possible money bags, Space Box...

What a pity.

As a Fighter, Captain Silver Armor's net worth was far inferior to that of a scholar. In addition, he was on a mission deep behind enemy lines. Reilo searched for a long time and couldn't find even half a copper coin.

The swordsmen chopped off Chains, finally avoiding the fate of the airship falling. However, it was too chaotic just now, and Clara's head had rolled to nowhere. Reilo kept searching. Wherever he looked, the people nearby couldn't help but tremble. Apparently, like Bai Xing, they regarded Reilo as a terrifying guy obsessed with blasting people.

Especially after this guy got up, he wiped his face calmly and skillfully, and immediately started searching for the enemy's corpses.

If it was the first time to do something like this, shouldn't it be stressful, screaming, and all kinds of panic!?

In the cabin, Yulia limped out, holding Clara's head, and said in pain, "Clara is here."

Furnace Fortress, located at the pass of the Furnace Mountains.

The balloon airship was attacked by the enemy. After docking at the Air Port port, it was subject to many interrogations. After the identity of everyone was confirmed, Official was released and a large number of flying troops were dispatched to escort the subsequent airship.

As for the merits of Reilo and others who successfully sabotaged the enemy's attack plan, they will not be rewarded until the incident is thoroughly investigated.

"Clara left like this. It's my fault."

Bai Xing murmured to himself, with tears in his eyes, feeling very guilty.

Several people watched the body of Clara being slowly carried away by the military personnel, and they could not help but feel a little sad. As the daughter of Earl Wilber, the military had the obligation to give a detailed and full investigation report.

"It's all our fault. We're not strong enough."

Yulia comforted Bai Xing.

Reilo stared at Clara's body gradually going away, not wanting anyone to see the strangeness in his heart, and his expression was very calm.

Life and death make people grow.

Especially scholars who have dissected countless specimens under their hands must learn to look down on the impermanence of life and death. Bai Xing wiped away his tears, glanced at Xiao Kang, Reilo, and Yulia, and took the lead to walk towards Air Port of Furnace Fortress.

After stepping off the airship, the four of them could clearly feel the smell of blood permeating the huge fortress. Soldiers wearing metal armor kept walking by in groups, and rude curses could be heard constantly.

Bai Xing stood on the top platform of Air Port and looked around, and soon found the location of the fortress High Tower, and High Tower 0 with the Grand Natural Sciences Academy The energy vortex is different. The top of this High Tower is a light blue Light Pillar that reaches straight into the sky. I don't know what kind of Esoteric it contains.

Four young magicians arrived, and the Sheriff who was responsible for checking the identity of Air Port floating personnel was a greasy, fat man in his mid-twenties. He smiled brightly at these magicians from the Saint Grand Fort Academy of Science. After a few people showed their academy identity certificates, they were released after a short review.

"Beautiful Miss Bai Xing, if you can't find the ideal style here, Mede, No. 45, Building F, Third Street, will give you the romance from Orsi."

The greasy fat man's earnest eyes made the other fat man quit.

"Brother, what do you mean, do you mean that we Saint Grand Fort men don't understand romance?"

The greasy fat man was stronger than Xiao Kang. After looking at Xiao Kang, he smiled and shrugged.

Don't mention what happened between the two fat men.

Yulia, with short black hair, was attracted by a little brown gryphon next to the Sheriff. She squatted down and gently stroked the chubby little guy. The little guy obviously also enjoyed her touch and kept rubbing against it.

"Dragon and lion?"

Griffins are also called dragons and lions, and their names vary from place to place.

Reilo also squatted down and stroked the little guy, his eyes shining brightly.

A trace of greed flashed through Reilo, imagining the scalpel gently sliding over the soft belly of this little guy, slowly peering into the various mysteries of its physiological and evolutionary structure, recording it in a notebook, and then soaking it in embalming fluid as an eternal collection in his Specimen Room.

Reilo's hands kept groping around the little dragon lion's body. After having a general understanding of the basic physiological structure of the little dragon lion, he ignored the little guy's struggle and gave it an evil smile before turning it over.

After seeing the small teapot-shaped thing under the little griffon's crotch, Reilo playfully flicked it.

"It's a male."

Yulia rolled his eyes. The little guy who had been tortured by Reilo's claws finally couldn't bear the torture anymore and burst into tears.

At the same time.

Reilo felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind, like the exhaust box of a balloon airship. He turned his head in shock and saw a big guy more than three meters tall, staring angrily at him.

"Uh..."

Reilo put down the little dragon and lion with a stiff face, and the little dragon and lion ran to the big guy's feet.

The Sheriff who was trying to hook up with Bai Xing hurriedly ran over after seeing the wailing little dragon lion, and ordered the guards beside him to take away the angry adult griffon. Air Port's brief chaos returned to calm again.

They left the Air Port in quite a state of embarrassment. Several people had seen the defense force here. This adult gryphon was just one of many flying Magical Beasts.

The group came to the High Tower registration office.

Compared to the academy High Tower, the fortress High Tower is obviously much lower but thicker.

On the wall in front of High Tower, there were hundreds of portraits densely pasted. Reilo took a few glances and saw that they were all bounties offered by Xilan Duchy scholars, ranging from a few gold coins to thousands of gold coins. Various nicknames were given to the portraits, such as Violent Warhammer, Sword of Sealand, Thunder Controller, Dismemberer, Shadow of Darkness, etc.

Yulia said enviously, "It would be great if I could also be offered a reward."

At this time, a thin old man grew out of High Tower, with a goatee and white hair, a dark purple academic uniform, holding a magic wand, and looking like a profound academic.

"Welcome to Furnace Fortress. Are you all students at the Academy of Science? I am one of the magician consultants at Furnace Fortress. I am responsible for assigning tasks to students like you, introducing the simple rules of the fortress, and arranging suitable accommodation. You can call me Ghost Master."

Everyone looked at each other, nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice, with expectant expressions on their faces.

When the old man saw this, he smiled strangely.

"Furnace Fortress is an important military area of the principality, and the conditions are very difficult. However, as the high-pressure nobles of the principality, we naturally cannot crowd together with those soldiers. However, the fortress has limited resources. High Tower room is empty, cough cough cough..."

As he spoke, Master Ghost kept weighing his empty right hand, waving his hands from time to time, with an expression that you all know.

Seeing this, the faces of the few people who still didn't know what this ghost master meant suddenly darkened.

Reilo was so shocked that he almost took out the letter of introduction from instructor Gubo, but the other party actually hinted at this. A master actually hinted at bribery to several young students. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat?

What about the promised honor of the principality?

What about aristocratic elegance?

What about the master's character?

This is completely different from Saint Grand Fort's routine!
