"Lord Thun, don't you go down and take a look? At this time of year, the ladies and ladies in the capital are very open, and there may be another romantic encounter," Earl Marcorio said jokingly.

Li Ran pretended to be depressed and said, "I won't join in the fun, just take a look here. I originally thought I had developed well, but today I suddenly saw so many higher-level troops, and I'm afraid I'll have insomnia again tonight."

As the three of them smiled at each other, the city lord Neroren said, "Then I won't disturb you watching here. If you are interested, there will be a martial arts competition tomorrow afternoon. I will come to you again. By the way, there is another important thing I want to tell you. There will be an auction fair tomorrow night. This is a spontaneous event held by the city lords and leaders of various tribes. Sometimes even the king will send people to participate. You must not miss this."

The biggest purpose of this trip was to digest the scattered forces in his territory, so Li Ran nodded repeatedly to this. After the Lord of Nairoren and Earl of Marcorio left, he also sat back to his position.

"Oh~ It seems that there is really no vain lunch in this world. According to the arrangements of these two counts, I am afraid that I will not be able to join them." Li Ran suddenly sighed and said.

At this time, only he and Xia Houben were left on the balcony. The latter seemed to be unsurprising: "According to the current situation, joining the Duke of Nol may be a bad thing. The thirteen Marquises and five powerful earls who just showed their troops, judging from the tone of Nairoren's introduction, at least five of them should be their people, which accounts for a large proportion."

If Zhang Yanxi was here, she might be very surprised by Xia Houben's observation and judgment ability at this time, but Li Ran seemed to have become accustomed to this. At this time, she just took a sip of water and said: "But among these five people, there seems to be no powerful city lord like Marquis of Gester. If we look at the internal information obtained by Lord Dorik, the only one among them is Marquis Wu Enfes who appeared in the last place, but this person seems to be obedient to Duke Nol. From this point of view, Duke Nol is indeed inferior to the other two dukes."

In response to this, Xia Hou Ben said, "The same is true for military strength. The other two dukes defended the dark forest and the other guarded the entrance to the Iopher Underground World. Although there were many crises, they had more channels for military strength. In this regard, this Duke Nol was incomparable. Unless he had another secret, it would be a bit too whimsical to maintain the alliance with just a political skill."

"There must be a secret. Whether it is a biological stronghold or other plane passages, this duke must have his own means of accumulating troops under the name of not loving war, otherwise he would not be one of the three major dukes. And I heard that he was just named Duke ten years ago, and his troops increased very quickly and were not inferior to the other two dukes." Li Ran said with a smile.

After talking for a while, Li Ran said again: "Okay, let's not talk about these things. Let's talk about the endless snowy land next. News came from Tang Zi that Balguff had brought people back to the Demon Knives territory. Now he is recruiting and training the white-winged ice cavalry in large quantities. The next step is waiting for us to pass."

"There will be no problem with his soul contract with that Songnar," Xia Houben said with some concern.

Li Ran smiled slightly and said, "Master Kunasolide is proficient in soul-type spells, and there is some information about the soul contract in the book he got from the Arcane Tower. Now he not only tampered with the soul contract between Balgoff and Songnar, but can be cancelled at any time, but also followed the clues, even the mysterious Songnar leader knew the details, which were similar to what we thought. This guy should be a hell demon, and he is also a relatively rare soul-capturing demon. Otherwise, it would not take so long to terminate the soul contract between them. Master Kunasolide had a lot of effort for this."

"It seems that Master Kunasoyed is really not easy to be able to terminate the soul contract," Xia Houben said with a rare smile.

Li Ran smiled and said, "Although there were indeed a lot of rare materials in the middle, and even Balguff himself has been reduced to several levels, I am a little surprised that Master Kunasoyed has such ability. It seems that this person is also a person with a story. Although he has the strength of being above the level, he insists on controlling his level to the top level. This behavior is also considered a god of deceiving justice. It seems that there are some reasons for this."

After chatting for a while, Li Ran and Xia Houben left the place and went for a walk around the market. They did not return to their residence in the evening.

After a simple meal and a nap, the second day of the Third World, when it was launched again, the guards of the City Lord Nairoren had already been waiting for a long time.

After meeting the city lord Nairoren and several other city lord leaders, Li Ran and others rushed to the second stop of the ceremony, located in the martial arts performance venue in the central square of the capital.

At this time, the huge central square had been divided into several areas according to various levels and martial arts practice methods, and those who could participate in the competition were naturally the best among the same level.

Looking at the strong guards behind Macorio, they all looked eager to try. Li Ran couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Macorio, it seems that you are prepared today."

The count smiled without hiding this and said, "I don't think about those above the legendary level. These are the elite human swordsmen I just obtained. They all have super-level strength. You can help me see how it is."

As we all know, the same-level troops of the human race do not have an advantage among the same-level troops. The Earl of Marcorio is so confident that these human swordsmen must have extraordinary features. Li Ran also nodded curiously about this.

As they arrived at the martial arts field of the super-level troops, Li Ran happened to meet another acquaintance here, that is, the city lord Leibodo in Reel City. After greeting this person, Li Ran also smiled and signaled to the two acquaintances behind him, shaman priest Recisa and general Lei Geli.

"Lord Thun, I didn't expect you to come here this time. I would have known that I would have had a drink last night. Don't leave tonight. Let's get together." After saying hello to Neiroren and others, the man looked at Li Ran and said with a smile.

Li Ran also smiled and said, "This time, he was invited by Lord Neiroren to come here to meet him. As for drinking, I am no match for you, so let me go. I slept all day the next day when I was drunk by you last time."
