Mike laughed. “When do we leave?”

Leonhart smiled, and Mike immediately understood what he meant.

“Now?” Mike looked at the sky full of stars and asked, “Why do we choose to travel at night?”

Leonhart laughed:

“For us summoners, there is no obvious difference between day and night. We travel at night and ride the cool breeze. It’s so nice and refreshing.”

Mike nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll listen to the arrangements.”

Leonhart’s expression suddenly changed, and he said to Mike, “I almost forgot. I have to tell you first that the Holy Dragon is an important secret. You must not let others know.”

Mike said, “Don’t worry, I won’t leak anything.”

Mike and Demoness followed the Leonhart to the place where everyone gathered, but they found a large group of people already waiting there. Augustus was among them.

The one who really caught Mike’s attention was a handsome young man. He felt the pressure from that young man. It had been a long time since Mike had felt oppressed by his peers.

That man noticed Mike’s gaze. He smiled at Mike in a friendly manner and said, “You’re very strong.”

Mike smiled back and said, “You’re also very strong.”

“My name is Tucker. What’s yours?”

“My name is Mike.”

The others looked at Mike in shock. When they saw Demoness beside Mike, they were even more shocked.

Only Augustus’s eyes were almost spitting fire. He snorted coldly as if he wanted to show off his presence, but no one paid attention to him.

While everyone was still surprised by Mike’s identity, they heard Leonhart shout, “Let’s go!”

The Central Region Hero Association was not held in Central Plains City. Instead, it was held in a valley 30,000 miles away from Central Plains City. Mike and the others set off at night. When the next day dawned, Mike and the others arrived there on time.

Leonhart said to Mike and the others, “You can move freely, but when I summon you, you must come to me within 15 minutes.”

Everyone expressed their understanding. After all, this place was so big. Once everyone scattered, it would be very difficult to gather again.

Leonhart said to Mike and Demoness, “You guys go too. Try not to be too far away from me. Otherwise, if anything happens, I won’t be able to take care of you.”

Mike cupped his fists at him and said, “Then, we’ll go first.”

Leonhart smiled and nodded.

Mike smiled at Tucker and left with Demoness.

Mike frowned slightly as soon as he left Leonhart’s side, because he always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

He took a few more steps forward, but the surprise in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He could not help but turn around to look, but he did not find anything unusual. He could only give up and leave quickly with Demoness.

Behind Mike, a person shrouded in black smoke appeared. He looked at Mike, and his heart was quite shocked.

“He can actually sense my presence. As expected of the person that the old ghosts of the Dark Church want to protect.”

At this moment, on the other side of the valley, a youth with a crow on his shoulder was patiently negotiating with the stall owner.

“Look, is three heaven-grade magic beast essence crystals still too expensive?”

The youth raised his head, revealing a handsome and pale face as he said seriously. “Three is too expensive.”

The stall owner was about to say something when a red light flashed in the youth’s eyes, and the stall owner immediately became inarticulate.

“Three... oh... two will do.”

The youth nodded, waved his sleeve, and swept the item away, leaving two heaven-grade magic beast essence crystals on the spot.

The guards in the valley only frowned when they saw this scene. They did not go forward to stop him. Although the youth had gone a little overboard, he did not violate the rules of the valley.

The youth stood up and looked into the valley, muttering, “You’re also... here.”

With that, he turned into a flock of crows and left the place.

Mike’s gaze swept across the stalls around him. He could not help but be secretly shocked. The value of each stall here was more than the annual income of the Dragon Castle, but here, they were like cabbages. They stretched from one end of the valley to the other, stretching for hundreds of miles.

However, this did not arouse his desire to buy anything. He realized that although the items here were expensive, they were not rare. Moreover, they were not what he needed right now, so he did not plan to buy much.

On the other hand, Demoness fully displayed her shopping talent. In just 15 minutes, she had already put more than a dozen items into her interspatial ring.

Just as Mike was surprised by Demoness’s shopping talent, Eve’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind, “The fifth stall on your left and back has a metal plate on it. Think of a way to buy it.”

Mike glanced at the stall and realized that the stall owner was a young girl.

Mike patted Demoness and gestured for her to follow.

The two of them walked past a few stalls and naturally came to the stall where the little girl was.

The little girl saw Mike and Demoness coming over and smiled. “What would you like, bosses?”

Mike found that the little girl’s strength was only 1-star intermediate level. He frowned and said, “Where are the adults?”

The little girl made a face, turned around, and shouted, “Alexander, come back. There’s a guest.”

The man who was playing cards at the side came back. He looked at Mike and asked with a smile, “What do you want?”

Mike picked up a box of fruits sealed with ice on the table and asked, “How much is this strange fruit?”

Mike actually did not really need this strange fruit. If he had encountered this thing a few years ago, he would have taken it no matter what. The black dragon was still very weak at that time, it needed such a huge amount of wood energy. However, it was different now. The energy contained in the strange fruit was like a drop in the bucket for the Black Dragon. It was not worth it to buy it.

The reason why Mike chose this strange fruit was very simple. Among the dozens of stalls nearby, only this stall had strange fruits. The other things on this stall were all ordinary bottles and jars, most importantly, they could be found in other stalls.

The owner stared at Mike as if he wanted to see something from Mike’s face, but Mike was not afraid. He looked at the owner as if he was saying to him, “Look, look as you wish.”

After looking for a long time, the owner helplessly stretched out five fingers.
