"There's a problem with that bartender. I suspect that the so-called Gloria is not a single person, but a huge group!"

"What's the problem?" asked Lolita, and Vivien thought for herself.

Charlotte put her suspicions together, "Do you remember what I asked the bartender? I only asked him if there was any update on the murder of the mage." But when he answered my question, he suggested that I go to that party, which was not what an intelligence dealer should do. ”

"Maybe he was born with a zeal. Lolita didn't believe it.

"Nope. Vivien recalled the bartender's gloomy appearance, "He didn't look like a warm-hearted fellow." ”

"And if he had been really warm-hearted, he shouldn't have suggested that I attend that meeting, but would have told us to stay away from the turmoil. Charlotte replied, "It would have been fine, but after we got out, we were clearly being watched for a while, and the stalker seemed to have followed us to the hotel before leaving." ”

"I know that a tavern like this that sells intelligence and drugs will have someone in charge of keeping an eye on the wind, but those secret sentinels are too concerned about us. Generally speaking, isn't it the drug dealers, the underground, the spies who are more likely to arouse their vigilance, and why do they care so much about us?"

Charlotte spread her hands, "What did we do? We just inquired about the recent uproar about the mage attack, which made perfect sense for us traveling spellcasters. Unless he sees through our illusions, I don't think he has the power. ”

Vivien and Lolita nodded, Charlotte's judgment was reasonable, but to be honest, there was a little bit of subjective speculation.

"And what do we do?" Lolita was eager to try, "Would you like to go to that tavern at night?"

"No, I don't. Charlotte shook her head, "I don't think anything can be detected, if there is something unusual there, Elle should have sensed it a long time ago." ”

During the conversation, Elle had already snuck her way to eat. When she heard this, she still had roast meat in her mouth and nodded her head to indicate that it was right.

"But the bartender gave me a heads-up. Charlotte held the Destiny Coin in her left hand and threw it into the air. While catching it, the mage smiled competitively, "Proud Gloria, I don't care if it's an organization or a person, but he (she) is really proud enough! ”

Vivien said, "I see! That's why the bartender suggested we go to that party." ”

"But why does Gloria collect blood?" asked Lolita.

"He/she is not collecting the caster's blood, but the blood that is more abundant in magical energy. It's just that the caster is relatively higher than the rest of the classes. Charlotte remembered Helrington, and Gloria had deliberately left a message of thanks for his blood, "As for why Gloria did this, I will ask him (her) myself tomorrow night." ”

Lolita clapped her hands, "Great! We can avenge Milton tomorrow night, can we eat? ”

Charlotte nodded and motioned for the meal to begin, and at the same time doused Lolita's excitement with a basin of cold water.

"To be exact, only I will be able to go to the party tomorrow night. As for the two of you, you'll have to change your appearance again, and I'll use illusions to help you hide your breath, and then you can change places and observe the tavern in the dark. ”

"Oh, what's going on!," Lolita lamented.

Vivien nodded sensibly. She understands that whether Gloria is a person or an organization, judging from the modus operandi shown, it can be called a formidable enemy.

"Don't make a fuss, remember, keep an eye on that tavern for me, but don't do it without permission. I will leave you with a life-saving scroll, and if anything goes wrong, immediately retreat and contact me. I always felt that the tavern was not simple. ”

No matter how coquettish Lolita is, Charlotte will not change her plans. Gloria's strength was a concern, and the mage had a hunch that in some way, that guy was a more difficult enemy than Helrington.

So the next morning, Charlotte left her room, and looked around for a way to the banquet as if she had followed the bartender's advice.

Then, as expected, things went smoothly as if someone had arranged a script, and it wasn't long before a guy who claimed to be on duty with the Lareye Army Mage Corps handed Charlotte an invitation. He didn't even ask Charlotte about her identity, so that the latter's strange dealer's rhetoric was alive.

At this point, Charlotte was 90% sure that Gloria would be doing the banquet that night. And it's also certain that the tavern does have a lot to do with Gloria.

Because since I got the invitation, the stalking in my perception has disappeared.

Charlotte found a place where no one was around, helped Vivien and Lolita change their appearances and concealed their aura, and then supervised them to set up a spell position in the hiding and stalking area, and marked the coordinates. Once everything is sure to be correct, the sun will also sink in the west. At this time, Charlotte took the Book of Etroac in her arms and walked to the villa where the party was gathered.

Except for a few lighthouse officials and local squires and wealthy merchants, the rest of the attendees were all mages. Most of them came to this spacious manor villa in a gorgeous carriage, and even a mage apprentice who did not have a serial level could ride in a comfortable carriage.

But where did they get the money to ride in a luxury carriage?

Charlotte just had to look at it and guess the trick.

These mages were known as the Lighthouse Companion Mage Regiment, but shortly after the Battle of Arad ended, they were co-opted by the Lighthouse higher-ups, local squires, and wealthy merchants. In addition to having a name and an official identity in the Lighthouse Companion Mage Regiment, these people actually took their own private jobs, and there were very few guys who could really fulfill their duties in the regiment.

And the upper echelons can only turn a blind eye to this situation, after all, mages are a money-burning profession, and during the war, the lighthouse made various promises to the wild mages, but they are not the deep-rooted Icewind Castle, where can they get so much money for them to study and study after the victory.

In order to maintain a certain degree of control over these powerful spellcasters, it is necessary to allow those who hold wealth to have private contact with mages, and reach a certain degree of contract and supply and demand.

Charlotte, who had come on foot, looked at it with a dark sneer.

The strength of these so-called military mages is stronger than a rookie, but the leader is bigger than the other. If you really want to go to the battlefield, even the academic mages of Icewind Castle can defeat four or even more.

Thinking about it like this, the original nervousness about Gloria disappeared in my heart.

Because Charlotte is also confident that if it were just this group of rookies, even if he was alone, he would be able to wipe out all the spellcasters in the venue tonight without leaving any trace of aftermath.
