Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Banquet
"Yo, are you planning to pay him back?"
The bald old man's eyes showed greed.
"You have to think about it, the money he owes is not a small amount. ”
"It's okay, just say it, I'll give it all back to you for him. ”
"Well, with interest, G&D owes me a total of 100,000 and 73 gold coins. For the sake of your good attitude, how about I charge you 100,000 and 70 gold coins?"
Harvey nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Is it okay? this kid really has so much money?" muttered the bald old man to himself.
"Sir, there is one more thing I would like to ask. ”
"Oh, what's the matter? ”
"Excuse me, how much are you willing to pay for your life?"
"What are you talking about!" the bald old man was instantly furious when he heard Harvey's words, "Are you kidding me!"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I'm telling the truth. ”
Harvey looked at the bald old man calmly.
As soon as the old man entered the room, Harvey felt an extremely hidden dead aura from him. He was completely sure that the one in front of him was a necromancer. Of course, this is all thanks to Harvey's unusually strong mental power.
The bald old man did not see through Harvey's identity as a wizard at all, and he was confident that his identity as a necromancer would not be seen through, after all, his camouflage skills were taught by Edward himself. Therefore, he only regarded Harvey's current behavior as a provocation by a petty nobleman. In the face of such a provocation, he felt that he had to teach the other party a bloody lesson.
"Undead from the underground, obey my orders and teach those in front of you a profound lesson!"
The bald old man didn't have any worries about using his undead magic.
But with the end of the Necronomic Spell, nothing happened. At this moment, he realized that he did not feel a trace of death.
Looking up at Harvey, Harvey just looked at him with a smile and didn't make any movement at all.
The bald old man realized at this moment that the magic he had encountered this time was by no means an ordinary magician. So, he planned to run away, and the biggest backhand of necromancers was that they could abandon their bodies at any time and run away in the form of souls. Then enter the corpse and be resurrected.
Doing so will cost you most of your mana, but it's worth it compared to your own life.
Having made up his mind, the bald old man grabbed his throat with his wizened right hand.
"Click!"
The bald old man was right in front of Harvey's eyes, and he broke his neck with his own hand.
Harvey shook his head, he didn't expect the bald old man to do this. However, the moment his mental power found that the bald old man twisted his neck, the soul suddenly flew out of his body, and then fled out the door, Harvey still did not go out to stop him. Because he knew that the other party couldn't escape at all.
Sure enough, the bald old man's soul crashed into the dark magic, the barrier formed by the absolute blockade. Due to the speed and the impact was too great, the bald old man's soul was bounced back and fell directly into Harvey's hands.
"You're a necromancer!"
The bald old man felt an inexplicable attraction in Harvey's hand devouring his soul, a feeling that was all too familiar to him. However, before he was a character who devoured others.
"Wait! I can tell you about the more advanced necromancy. ”
The bald old man's soul screamed at Harvey's hands.
"More advanced necromancy, look at the way you look now, there's no point in lying!"
Harvey increased the gravitational pull on his hand.
"Oh, no, my lord, I'm a 'owl'. Trust me. ”
When he wanted him to say it, Harvey immediately stopped the attraction in his hand. After all, mimicry can only simulate the appearance and partial variations of other magic. If you use it for too long, it will be exposed immediately.
"You'd better not lie to me!"
Harvey said coldly to the soul in his hand.
"I have sworn in the name of the evil god that if I lie to you, my soul will immediately become food for the evil god. ”
The bald old man's soul immediately swore an oath.
At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Harvey's hand shook hard. The soul of the bald old man in his hand was teleported by him to an endless dark edge within the realm.
"You honestly take it here. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
was suddenly teleported to this inexplicable place, such a means that even the four directors did not have such ability. The bald old man was now completely convinced that Harvey was a necromancer of immeasurable rank. He had planned to find a way to escape when Harvey met with the director, but now he felt that he should be honest with this powerful necromancer.
A necromancer whose strength surpasses that of the four councillors still seems to be a loner, and the bald old man feels that as long as he can sincerely do things for him, he will definitely be protected by him. This is obviously much better than being yelled at by all the necromancers who are higher than him after joining the "Owl" organization.
"Lord Harvey. ”
Ged stood aside and saluted Harvey, glancing at the corpse on the ground.
"Do you know him?"
Harvey asked.
"He is a peripheral member of the 'Owl' organization, Mercado, and every once in a while he collects money in various parts of the city. ”
"I see. ”
Harvey pulled out a small bottle and poured the powder from the bottle onto the corpse on the ground.
"Woo Woo Woo!"
The corpse that was originally on the ground turned directly into blood, and there were no bones left.
"Secret sulfur powder. ”
For the first time, G&D saw this secret sulfur powder worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and couldn't help but say it.
"Yes, it seems that you know a lot about pharmacy. ”
Harvey didn't expect G&D to recognize the Secret Sulfur Powder. After all, the raw material for the Secret Sulfur Powder comes from the depths of the Dark Forest, and the quantity is extremely rare. There are only a few sentences in the various texts of pharmacy. If it weren't for a large number of serious readings of pharmacy classics, it would have been impossible to recognize them so quickly.
"Lord Harvey, I just stumbled upon a record of the Secret Sulphur Powder. ”
It is clear that G&D lied. However, Harvey didn't care, he wasn't here to find out if G&D was lying.
"I'm here to deal with some things about the Wizards' Guild, and I'm here to ask you a place, but I don't think I need to. ”
"Yes. ”
"Pack up and take your family to the City of Miracles. ”
"Huh?"
G&D couldn't think about what she had heard. The reason why he came to such a dangerous place as Delan City in the first place was because his superiors said that he could transfer him to the City of Miracles as long as he worked here for three years. That's why he brought his only daughter here.
There was still a year left before the three-year deadline, and the behavior of the organization that had been on his radar was becoming more and more unusual and dangerous. Moreover, the old guy who Harvey had just dealt with didn't know when he had met Lana, and then, he began to covet her. Otherwise, a small shop like Tie Tie Tie Tie would not have come here to collect money at all.
Just when everything forced him to defect from Deland, Harvey showed up and easily solved all the problems for him.
"Plop!"
G&D got down on one knee and saluted Harvey sincerely.
"G&D shopkeeper, what are you doing here?"
G&D's untouchable gift made Harvey confused.
"Lord Harvey, thank you for killing this old fellow and saving my daughter Lana, and thank you for allowing us to go to the City of Miracles. ”
"You're welcome, G&D. What is the situation in Deland City, I know. There's no point in you staying here anymore. ”
"Then we'll pack up and leave now. ”
"Go ahead. ”
G&D turned around and was about to walk out of the door, when he suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned around and said, "Your Excellency Harvey, there is an important piece of news that I just learned yesterday that has not yet been reported. ”
"What's the news?"
"Tomorrow night, the city lord Pades Achino will ask the city lord's mansion to report a banquet, and the people who attended the banquet cannot be determined. ”
"Not sure?"
"Yes, this banquet is different from the past, it is held in secret in the City Lord's Mansion, and no matter how much you inquire, you can't know the list of participants. ”
"I see, you and Lana pack up and get out of here. ”
"Yes. ”
Ged walked back to the backyard, and Harvey decided to go to the Lord's Mansion banquet tomorrow night anyway.
