It was a calm and peaceful night, nothing happened anyway.

At least for most people, that's the case.

What surprised Aaron a little was that Garcia actually planned to go with them and return to Layden City again.

"Aren't you planning to look for the Ikri elf? Why are you returning to Leiden City at this time?"

"Perhaps I should change my mind. I heard that Julian's apprentices from Star Tower are still in Leiden City. Maybe they will find a way to find Ikri."

Garcia told a clumsy lie in front of Aaron without changing his face.

Both parties are well aware of this.

The whereabouts of the elemental elf, the great Ikri, have always been erratic.

If the Tower of Stars or the gold-coin type extraordinary person really had the ability to accurately predict its location, then Ikri would probably have been overwhelmed by the crowd.

What's more, Garcia had met Sartre and Siosande in Leyden City before. Why didn't he make the request at that time and insist on delaying it until now?

However, even though both Aaron and Alice knew that Garcia was lying, neither of them objected and pretended to be confused tacitly.

No matter what Garcia's purpose is, at least on the way back to Leiden City, the two of them can have a silver-level scepter-type transcendent to accompany them.

This is good news for them.

Even if there is an emergency, having one more Silver-level transcendent will give you more say and ability to respond.

only……

Boss Gade seems to have given them a bigger surprise...

Aaron and the others hadn't left Yecao Town yet. When they arrived at the gate of the town, they saw a blond muscular man leaning against the wooden wall not far away.

Evil mercenary, Reynold Creel.

Aaron and Alice didn't know him yet, but Garcia did.

After seeing this blond macho man, Garcia's breath couldn't help but stagnate.

However, even if Aaron didn't know Reynold's name, the nearly two-meter-tall body alone and the angular muscles like granite gave people a strong visual impact.

Not to mention the giant sword he carried on his back, which was even larger than an ordinary person.

As if he felt the gazes from Aaron and the others, the bored Reynold glanced at them casually, and then strode towards them.

"That's Reynold, the blood eater we've encountered before. Be careful and be ready to activate your abilities at any time."

Ruosiqia reminded him immediately.

Even though he was the former tower master of the Moon Tower and fell from a high position to the golden rank, he had to take the man in front of him seriously.

Reynold's reputation had spread decades ago, or perhaps earlier.

In Roskia's time, his name as an "evil mercenary" had already been widely circulated.

Sword type, beast-blooded person, blood-eater, cultist...

Under normal circumstances, the combat power of cultists of the same level is always much stronger than that of extraordinary beings, let alone the best among them.

In his current state, when meeting Reynold, he would probably be able to think of how to escape unscathed.

In the final analysis, he is just a gold-level scholar and is not good at soul power.

For a prophet who has painstakingly studied the way of the soul, it may not matter whether he has a body or not, he can still exert 100% combat power.

Some prophets even consciously abandon their physical bodies in pursuit of the ultimate effect.

And Ruosiqia is just a soul attached to the gold-level card. Even because his exclusive book of records has been lost, he has to use Aaron's ability to release his power.

Hearing Ruosiqia's warning, Aaron subconsciously turned to the side, trying to avoid Reynold.

Unexpectedly, even though he deliberately stayed away from Renaud, Renaud took the initiative to walk in front of him.

The height of nearly two meters allowed Reynold to look down at Aaron, and he just said lazily: "Are you Aaron?"

As he said that, he glanced casually, his eyes staying on Alice and Garcia for a moment, and then returned to Aaron.

"Can the Saugetos family be willing to spend such a large sum of money?"

Aaron looked up at Reynolds and asked in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

Sure enough, it was the Saugetos family, and they were actually willing to spend a lot of money to hire gold-level cultists to hunt them down?

Apart from this reason, Aaron really couldn't find any other reason to explain why Reynold came to the door.

"The Saugetos family?" Reynold shrugged, "They are also my old customers. I have cooperated with them several times before, and they were quite happy, and I paid them happily..."

As he spoke, there was a smile in his eyes, "But, this time, they didn't contact me. Why, did you provoke them?"

It’s okay if it’s not…

Aaron couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and the anxiety in his heart was relieved a lot.

Even though this is Weeda Town, not far from Weeda Tavern, you can still enjoy the protection of Boss Gad.

But for this kind of thing, Aaron has always been more inclined to believe in himself.

If Reynold dares to take action here, even if Boss Gade can successfully solve the trouble afterwards, the result can be imagined.

This trip to Leyden City will inevitably be greatly delayed.

For Aaron, what he lacks most now is time.

"You should know Ged, right? I heard from him that you can get a glass of wine from him. It doesn't seem to be anything special. Hmm, it's a bit interesting..."

Reynold seemed to sense something and glanced at Aaron's chest with interest.

Aaron was placing Ruoschia's gold card and the tower spirit crystal there.

"so……"

Aaron really couldn't guess his purpose at this time.

"According to his request, I will protect you and your companions from coming to Leyden City safely and intact." Reynold paused, "As a small step in the deal between me and him."

As he spoke, he frowned slightly, glanced at Garcia again deliberately, and said with a sudden realization: "Just tell me why I feel like I heard it somewhere, so it's you?

Not long ago, someone placed a high price on your head on the black market, claiming that someone maliciously murdered Bars of the Saugetos family.

The price is pretty good. If I hadn’t been here at the time, maybe I would have been tempted..."

Wait, the deal with Boss Gade?

A bit of trouble?

Aaron didn't hear what he said next, but only noticed the previous sentence.

He subconsciously looked back at the Weed Tavern, only to see Ged standing at the door of the tavern.

Seeing Aaron's gaze, Gad nodded slightly to him.

For a moment, Aaron really didn't know what to say.

In other words, he really didn't know what Gade was thinking.

Didn’t you say that they won’t provide relevant help?

Why now...
