After Solomon Rue finished speaking, Leo Ray’s eyebrows raised slightly as he said noncommittally, “The two of you, about today’s matter, don’t let anyone else know, including the other members of the fan club. If any more treasures are found, feel free to contact me.”

On the other side, Solomon Rue looked confused and scratched his head. After exchanging glances with Sylvia Moore, he quickly said, “Then Master Christopher, can we add you as a friend so that it’s more convenient for us to contact you?”

Sylvia Moore standing nearby nodded, her dust-covered delicate face full of anticipation.

Immediately after, Leo Ray received two friend requests in person.

“Alright then, I’ll see you around if I get the chance.”

Hearing the prompt, Leo Ray smiled faintly and quickly left with Taylor and the others without looking back.

Just like that, Leo Ray and his party completely vanished into the night.

Almost at the same time, a startling announcement rang in Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore’s ears.

[Lord Leo Ray (ID 0013076067) has accepted your friend request!]

Hearing this, the pair of sibling lords stood still for a long time before they both showed unrestrainable ecstatic expressions on their faces.

“Sis, Master Leo really is Master Christopher!” exclaimed Solomon Rue excitedly, his face filled with agitation. “I didn’t expect Master Leo to not only help us during the day, but also personally explore the mine with us and even save our lives!”

“It’s really him…l can’t believe it…”

On the other hand, Sylvia Moore’s lovely body trembled slightly, and her pretty face showed a mix of shock and joy, almost at a loss for words.

Upon leaving Solomon Rue and Sylvia Moore, Leo Ray didn’t hesitate and headed straight to the location of bar owner Matthew and the cook Olivia in Golin City.

Midway through, with Scarlett’s assistance, Leo Ray cleaned up his Storage Ring, allowing it to be upgraded.

[Congratulations, your ‘Tier 2 Accessory: Silver Pupil’ has been upgraded into the ‘Tier 3 Accessory: Golden Pupil’]!

“After the upgrade, the ring’s space has increased from 20 cubic meters to 50 cubic meters, hasn’t it?”

Looking at the now-golden ring in front of him, Leo Ray immediately checked the new attribute column.

After reading it, Leo Ray pursed his lips, “However, even with 50 cubic meters of space, it’s still not enough for me, who still has more than 3 million Gold Dragons.”

Shaking his head in resignation, Leo Ray mused, “Oh well, another storage space is an additional guarantee. Maybe one day it will come in handy.”

Next, Leo Ray led his group through Golin City and continued walking towards the bar.

Once Orion Wolfe from Frost Family is secured tomorrow, their business in Golin City would be concluded.

“By the way, we should talk to Linda, Mason Banks, Gunner Santons, and Joshua Bingaman about the mysterious organization as soon as possible and see if they have any clues or traces about them.”

Realizing this, Leo Ray, surrounded by his subordinates, walked through the bustling night market while continuing to think, “It’s always better to be prepared in case anything happens.”

Nodding slightly, Leo Ray thought, “In any case, since the other party is also after the Immortal Gate, we must recruit a Tier 5 magic powerhouse as soon as possible. ”

“Although I don’t know what lies beyond the gate, it’s only in this way that we can open the Immortal Gate ahead of the other party, find the treasures within first, and make it difficult for them to take anything from us.”

With these thoughts, Leo Ray couldn’t help but sigh softly.

“However, speaking of which, our only known Tier 5 magic powerhouse is the

Ancestor of the Moonwhite Tribe, a Tier 5 Half-Elf space magician, Jasper

Richardson. But he has been dead for centuries now.”

“And a Tier 5 recruitment order is not something that can be easily obtained, is it?”With a slight curl of his lips, Leo Ray looked at the various shops on both sides of the street, adorned with colorful Light Crystal Stones and magical lamps, and he fell into deep thought.

“No matter, perhaps there will be an unexpected turn of events soon, which remains to be seen. For now, let’s just focus on the other matters at hand.”

“The two main challenges that lie before us are the Half-Orc Tribe north of the Hundred Ranges and the Coldflame Royal Family.”

Leo Ray rubbed his chin as he pondered, “As for the Half-Orcs, there’s no need to mention them, but I wonder what kind of envoy the strife-ridden Coldflame

Royal Family will send to Cyan Town.”

Just as Leo Ray thought of this, they had already arrived at Matthew’s tavern.

Looking through the half-open door, the tavern was already filled to the brim at this time.

The dim light from the oil lamps and a few inferior Light Crystal Stones cast shadows of people toasting each other at various tables, creating an old-fashioned atmosphere of stories and wine.

Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates and entered the tavern first.

As soon as he stepped in, an intense aroma immediately greeted him, a mixture of alcohol and the smoky scent of roasted meat.

“Welcome back, everyone!”

Immediately, Olivia, holding a wooden tray, came over.

Upon seeing Leo Ray leading the group, a blush quickly swept across her slightly shy face. Apparently, she hadn’t forgotten Matthew’s suggestive wink in the morning.

Then, she half-turned and called out to the tavern boss at the bar, “Father, they’re back!”

“Hahaha, your excellency has worked hard!”

Upon hearing this, the burly Matthew deftly flipped over the bar, which was more than a meter high, and came directly to Leo Ray, “Your Excellency, Olivia has prepared all the rooms and beds for you. Do you want to go up and rest now, or have a few drinks to relieve fatigue?”

“We still have some matters to attend to, and we may come back down after we finish.”

Leo Ray smiled lightly and waved a refusal.

“Understood, let Olivia accompany you upstairs first. Please make yourselves at home!”

After nodding to Leo Ray, Matthew pushed Olivia forward, then turned around to laugh heartily as he went back to his business.

“Please follow me.”

And so, following Olivia through the lively hall, they went up a wooden staircase next to the kitchen and finally arrived at the top floor of the tavern: the third floor.

Compared to the bustling and noisy first floor, this place could be considered quiet.

As Olivia introduced them, Leo Ray noticed that there were a total of five bedrooms on this floor, besides the rooms of Matthew and Olivia. The other three rooms had been tidied up and looked very clean. “Everyone, I’ll go downstairs to work now.”

With a crisp voice, Olivia bowed to Leo Ray and left first.

“Alright, let’s talk about some serious matters.”

Next, after gathering all five subordinates in a room, with a thought, several magical medicines emitting a strong exotic fragrance appeared in Leo Ray’s hand..
