Chapter 341: Departure to the Border
"Jenny, I'll just go with the boss. Besides, there are the Marsh Ant, the Silkworm Queen, and the Fragrant Butterfly here. They will make sure that no one will hurt the boss."

In the living room outside the three-story tower, before leaving, Locke whispered advice.

Jenny's expressionless face responded to him, and Locke could only smile awkwardly.

After a while, Ivan came down from upstairs, and Jenny turned into a stream of light and drilled into his cuffs, turning into a piece of iron root that looked like jade but was not jade, and tightly wrapped around his wrist.

"Set off."

Ivan had no objection to this. He waved his hand and led Locke, the Marsh Ant, and the Silkworm Queen out of the tower.

Today is the time I agreed with Solomon.

Since they have to reunite with Solomon and Doug, everyone knows that there is only one secret clone. Compared with Jenny, it is more appropriate to let Locke accompany him as a clone.

However, Jenny has always been meticulous in protecting his safety, and today is no exception.

Ivan knew Jenny's character very well and did not refuse this kind of "close protection".

On the main road of Encart City, the Pegasus transformed from the Marsh Ant and the Silkworm Queen flew close to the ground, at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Soon, they carried Ivan and Locke to the thick city wall facing the outside.

'Sealing the Thunder Pass'

The territory outside this level of pass does not belong to the human race. Some distance beyond it is the territory of the Thunder Clan. Because the Thunder Clan often come to the pass to cause trouble, over time, this place has been called the "Thunder Pass".

The thunder gate was closed, and there were many witch towers standing there. The strange aura was so strong that the air around was almost solidified.

Standing at the foot of the pass can also give one goose bumps.

"Ivan, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been?"

From a distance, Doug greeted him. Beside Doug was a two-headed man with particularly fair skin. The facial features of both men were somewhat similar to Doug's.

"It's OK. I eat well and sleep well."

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Your reputation has become more and more famous recently. There are very few wizards who don't know your name."

"It's not worth mentioning. It's just an empty title. This is Locke."

"Comang, you've seen it before."

Kang Mang is actually Shadow Tigress, Doug's secret clone. Due to the characteristics of the 'multi-in-one' secret technique, he can already transform into a human form.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Doug got down to business.

"Ivan, what do you think about this trip to the Nine-Colored Tiankeng?"

"Do your best to help Solomon pick the Frost Flame Flower. As for other matters related to the Bailey family, it has nothing to do with us." Ivan said calmly.

Both of them owed Solomon a favor, so they naturally tried their best to meet his request.

However, this matter involves internal disputes within the Bellizzi family, and there may be interference from foreign races, which forces people to be more cautious.

The reason why Doug brought this up now was just because he hoped that the two of them could form a temporary alliance and take care of each other in the Nine-Colored Tiankeng where the situation was not clear.

Ivan readily agreed to his proposal.

"coming."

At this time, a medium-sized airship slowly approached from afar and arrived not far from Fenglei Pass. The family emblem of the Bellizzi family was on the hull.

Like Encart City and Dongdu, flying at high altitudes is prohibited.

There are exceptions to everything, and there are always individuals and groups that are allowed. The Bellizzi family has considerable influence in Encart City, so it is not surprising that several airships are allowed.

Solomon appeared at the bow and waved to the two people on the ground.

Ivan and Doug signaled to each other, and soared into the sky in their own ways, quickly came to the side of the airship, and landed lightly on the deck.

"Thank you for bothering me this time."

"No need to be polite, just tell me how many competitors you have."

The closer you look, the more you can see how unusual this airship is.

There are three floors on the deck, and the layout of each floor is exquisite and sophisticated. What is used to drive the airship is not a hot air balloon, but a special composite rune magic array, as well as elemental creatures derived from it. Some of the elemental creatures are pulling the airship forward.

Of course, there are many servants on the ship, including a second-level wizard who is specifically responsible for guarding the airship.

Solomon welcomed the two into a spacious room on the second floor before answering Doug's question.

"It's hard to say who is stronger among the three of them."

"Which one should we pay special attention to?" Doug asked again.

"Dila, my cousin not only has immeasurable strength, but also has a fiancé who is of considerable background, from Berta Xueyuan." Solomon said without hesitation.

"Aren't the resources over at the Berta Blood Plain more abundant? Why bother crowding over here to compete for resources?" Ivan said with a little surprise.

"Everyone understands the principles of our wizards' business. Everything has a price. There are suitable resources here, and they have been verified by the family countless times. Why would she go far away instead of near?" Solomon said with a wry smile.

Big families have their own troubles. The children of the Bellizzi family practice the same advanced meditation method, so the resources they need are naturally similar, especially some key resources.

The resources suitable for the third-level promotion are extremely limited, so there needs to be a fight for it.

In order to avoid hurting the relationship and to show the children's strength in all aspects, the Bailey family made strict rules. In such a resource competition, Solomon and others could not seek help from wizards who were familiar with the family.

That's why Solomon invited Ivan and Doug.

His cousin Dila invited the wizards from Berta Blood Plain through her fiancé, and there were also two of them. In addition, there were two other competitors: Kedaf and Yulei.

In the same period of time, there were four young wizards who were about to be promoted to the second level, which also reflected the strong foundation of the Bellizzi family, which was not comparable to wizards like Ivan and Doug.

"We all want a secret clone, which gives us an advantage over others," Doug said.

The secret method of 'multi-in-one' discovered by the Five-Leaf Spear is unique. The three people present are all beneficiaries and have a deep understanding of it.

Hearing this, Ivan nodded continuously.

"Just do your best, both of you. If there is really an irresistible reason, the Frost Flame Flower will not be that important, and the previous favors will be written off," said Solomon.

While the three were talking, the airship had passed the inspection at the checkpoint and was sailing slowly toward the outside of Encart City.

Through the window on one side, one can see a strange black thunder ring outside Fenglei Pass, which is like the moat of Encart City, wantonly devouring the surrounding thunder power.

Solomon was very familiar with this and introduced it to the two of them concisely.

The Black Thunder River is actually designed to target ThunderClan.

After leaving Fenglei Pass, the airship began to accelerate, leaving Encart City far behind.

In terms of flying speed, Ivan secretly compared it and found that it was not as fast as the ants. However, the airship could fly day and night without interruption, which was more suitable for carrying heavy loads on long-distance journeys.

The Nine-Colored Tiankeng is some distance away from Encart City. At the normal speed of the airship, it takes a day and a night to sail there.

"The place the airship passes through is a real wilderness, far less peaceful than the interior of China Continent. Our Bellizzi family's airship has extraordinary protection capabilities. You don't have to worry about the safety of the airship. You can relax and rest at night."

Hearing Solomon's words, Ivan and Doug nodded slightly.

The Bellizzi family's airship is indeed reassuring. It sails as smoothly as on flat ground and has good sound insulation.

Solomon then arranged a separate rest room for the two of them.

Silent all night.

It's a new morning and the sky is just beginning to light up.

Ivan was awakened by the sudden shrill bird calls. He opened the window and saw that the airship was surrounded by a large group of smokebirds trailing black smoke. All he could see were the smokebirds.

The Smokebird is a semi-elemental creature that can grow to more than ten or twenty meters in length, with flames and black smoke filling the air as it flies.

Under the siege of the flock of smokebirds, the airship's protective layer began to shake, causing the harsh sound to be transmitted into the room without a single leak.

"What's going on? Why are these Smoky Birds targeting our airship?"

"It should be related to what happened before. The family harvested a large number of Flamingo Bird eggs last time. We thought the matter was over, but we didn't expect this group of Flamingo Birds to hold such a grudge and even recognize the family's airship."

"We need to find a way to solve it as soon as possible. There are still many guests on the ship."

Something unexpected happened, and someone immediately went up to the third floor to inquire about the reason. The wizard guarding the airship did not hide anything and answered her questions truthfully.

These words may have been said intentionally for others to hear, and they were clearly heard by most people.

Like many people, Ivan walked slowly outside the house to check the situation.

"You don't have to do anything. Let the people on the boat handle it. If worst comes to worst, we're still here." Solomon and Doug also came out, and it was Solomon who spoke.

Several competitors should have exchanged opinions and decided not to bother the people they invited to take action, in order to save the face of the Bailey family.

Ivan and others had no objection and were happy to watch the fun from the sidelines.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Smokebirds, the airship did not choose to confront them head-on. In an instant, a large amount of purple mist emerged from the ship, covering the surrounding area and obstructing the vision of the Smokebirds.

Solomon, Dila and others took action, and the forces of ice, flame, thunder and lightning raged, causing the Smokebird to scream outside the protective layer.

The siege of the Fierce Smoke Bird suddenly collapsed.

When the Smokestaves were in a dilemma, the airship seized the opportunity, accelerated suddenly, broke out of the encirclement of the Smokestaves, and flew away, killing countless Smokestaves in the process.

With the cooperation of the wizards of the Bellizzi family, the crisis was resolved.

Ivan saw everything. It was not just Solomon, but these people's methods were indeed amazing.

"Hello! You must be Lord Marichaton, right? I heard from Brown that you were invited by Solomon." When Ivan turned around and was about to go back to the house, a heroic young witch came up to him.

"Hello, Wizard Dila, I heard Solomon talk about you." Ivan stopped.

"What? You said I beat him when I was an apprentice?" Dila laughed.

"That's not the case." Ivan subconsciously glanced at Solomon not far away, but saw that his face was a little dark. This must be an embarrassing thing that he couldn't bear to look back on.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's talk about yourself. I have seen the Dark Magic Wind and Fire Array and the Pure White Eyes that you created. I have to admit that you are the best among our group of second-level wizards. You are admirable.

It's a rare opportunity to be on the same boat, so I have to come over to get to know you, do you mind?" Dila continued.

"Of course I don't mind. It's a very happy thing to get to know another genius from the Bellizzi family." Ivan replied calmly.

He knew in his heart that the other party came forward rashly just to make himself more noticeable, to get more people to pay attention to him, or even target him.

He doesn't really believe in admiration or recognition.

I'm sure Dila would be happy to do such a cost-free thing.

Ivan was helpless about this, as his fame indeed overshadowed others, including the geniuses of the Bellizzi family, so this kind of thing was unavoidable.
