"It's far from here, is that place dangerous?"

Given's subconscious felt that it was dangerous for Adelia to leave Sodima City alone, the last time Adelia went out of the city to visit Enya privately, she was attacked by demons, and Gilvan didn't want this to happen again.

"Not dangerous, I've been there many times before. ”

"Then I will go with you, lest there be any danger on the road. ”

When Given's words were spoken, he was only secretly worried about the demons who were about to move, but when Adelia heard Given's answer, the gloom on her face dissipated in an instant, and her tone became cheerful again.

"Well, that's what you promised. ”

Adelia quickly agreed with Givens to go out of the city to visit the Coldtie, and then Gilvin returned to the Forbidden God Space with those precious tools. After Given's departure, Adella said goodbye to Master Niels and quietly left the Flame Forge Furnace.

However, when she left the gate of the furnace, she found the black marketeer who had been imprisoned waiting for her at the corner of the street.

"Little girl, what about your righteous friend, he didn't come out with you?" Xiyue asked in a low voice as she walked up to Adelia.

Adelia looked up at the second-hand dealer "Xiyue", who was a head taller than herself, she was not very old and had a strong figure.

If you don't know the identity of her second-hand dealer, you will definitely mistake her for a bodyguard or personal guard of a large family.

Adelia understood that she was referring to Given, disguised as Mr. Copperbeard, and replied, "He left through the back door first." If you have something, I can tell him. ”

"Oh, what a pity. With a disappointed expression on her face, she patted the big money bag tied to her belt, "I wanted to thank him for his generosity in person, because he paid much more today than the usual market price. ”

"Thanks, can you sell us the extra cold iron?" asked Adelia quickly.

"No, I don't have any cold iron on hand, and I sold it to my friend all my inventory, and after today's incident, no one in the black market dares to do business with you for the time being, let alone sell cold iron. Little girl, it seems that you have offended the big guys. ”

As a second-hand dealer who has been in the gray market for many years, Xiyue saw the conspiracy behind today's accident at a glance, and for safety reasons, most second-hand dealers will definitely avoid this risky transaction in the future. However, there is a risk means that there will be profits, and for Xiyue, who has a thin capital, she is not willing to give up such an opportunity to make money.

"However, for the sake of that bag of gold coins, I'm willing to continue trading with your friends, and I can get a lot of other things, even contraband, besides the cold iron that I can't get right now......

"Thanks, we just need cold iron. Adelia replied.

"yes, that's a shame. Xiyue replied with some disappointment, she originally wanted to make some more profits from the generous Mr. Copperbeard. However, to her surprise, the little girl had been taking the place of Mr. Copperbeard, and it seemed that she did not want to have direct contact with the generous gentleman.

With this question, Xiyue's gaze kept looking at Adelia before finally resting on the badge on her chest.

"By the way, who are you? relative or employer? ”

In Xiyue's opinion, Mr. Copperbeard's down-and-out dress should be just a disguise, and he may be a member of some big family. And the color of the girl's pupils in front of her is very conspicuous, obviously she will not come from a famous family that pays attention to blood, but the genuine Royal Call Academy badge on her chest shows that she is not an ordinary person. The combination of these two is very strange and hard to guess.

"I'm his friend. ”

Adelia replied in a stiff tone, because she didn't like the question Xiyue asked. She had asked herself the same question, but every time she thought of an answer, she was constantly upset.

Seeing the change in Adella's expression, Xiyue smiled proudly, enjoying the pleasure of playing tricks.

"Well, tell your friend that I'll be staying around here for the next few days. If you change your mind and want to buy something that is not so easy to find, try your luck at the "Autumn Dawn" bar in the civilian area. ”

After speaking, Xiyue beckoned to Adella, which was regarded as a goodbye, and then disappeared into the alley next to the street in three or two clicks. Looking at her disappearing back, Adellia muttered to herself, "What a strange guy." ”

However, Adelia soon put the accident behind her, as she hurried back to the Summoning Academy to go on a long trip with Given.

As Adelia left down the street, two well-dressed guests were dining on the top floor of a treehouse across from the Flame Furnace. This treehouse is the most famous restaurant in the neighborhood, while the top floor is the restaurant's most expensive private room.

The two guests sat near the windowsill, and they looked plain and unremarkable as they ate and chatted. But if anyone approached, they would find that their eyes were fixed on a figure in the street, and that figure was walking in the direction of the Summoning Academy.

"This is the kid?"

The middle-aged guest rudely put the flesh on the plate into his mouth and asked as he chewed.

At the other end of the table, an old man sat in a rigid position, and with standard aristocratic etiquette, he put a mushroom in his mouth with a cutlery, chewed it carefully, and then replied, "It's her." ”

"Then why don't you catch her now! She's just alone, swaggering down the street. ”

The middle-aged guest shouted in a dissatisfied voice.

At this time, the old man took another sip of Suguo soup, then wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said disapprovingly: "You and I can't do this." Now all the king's swords in the city are fixed on the child. They're waiting for us to make a move. ”

The middle-aged man looked at the old man's cautious appearance, quite dissatisfied, he grabbed the fruit on the table, took a bite, and then complained: "Hmph, it's just a few remote areas of the king's sword, even you have become so timid?"

Hearing these rude words, the old man laughed, and then retorted without moving: "There are many companions who are bolder than me. But either in the prison of the King's Sword or burned to ashes. Try it if you're willing to try, there's a Guardian in Sodhima, don't say I didn't warn you. ”

"Guardian!" the middle-aged man exclaimed in a low voice, he didn't expect that there would be a Guardian hiding in the city. While he despised the ordinary king's sword, he knew the terrifying power of those guardians.

"Not only that, but now that Guardian is all over the city looking for me and my demonic allies, if you're unlucky, you'll be the next one to be caught. The old man replied casually, and began to taste the next dish.

In the face of this joke, the middle-aged guest didn't speak, just stuffed his head and bit the fruit more roughly.

"I said Matthew, you should pay attention to your manners, an elf with status should not be so rude. ”

Listening to the sound of the middle-aged guest named Ma Xiu chewing the pulp, the old man frowned.

But Matthew said disapprehantly: "So what, if it weren't for the sake of seeing you, I wouldn't want to stay under such a weak and ridiculous appearance, let alone follow these ridiculous etiquette." ”

The old man stopped eating, wiped his hands with a napkin, and asked.

"Alright, let's be honest, Matthew, why did you suddenly visit Sodima City?"

"I have lost all my servants in the city, including the well-groomed Sanya, and there is always someone to blame for this loss. Matthew stared at the old man, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"Don't get so excited, I've also lost two students, they are both the best demon warriors, no matter which one they are, they are better than your Scorpion-playing Sanya. The old man replied disappreciatively.

"That's your own business, and if you just take that kid away, you won't get into so much trouble. ”

Matthew's voice grew louder and louder, but the old man still replied without moving.

"You don't understand the value of this child, and taking her away directly will not help our cause. ”

"And what is your magical plan, constantly failing, constantly losing valuable men?" said Matthew unceremoniously.

"With your poor brain, you can't understand such a great plan. The old man finally began to shoot back unceremoniously at Matthew.

"You!" Matthew stood up at once, pointing at the old man, his eyes full of anger.

The old man ignored Matthew's movements, he just glared fiercely and said calmly.

"Matthew, remember, I'm a 'mentor', someone should have told you what the consequences of angering me are, do you want to give it a try?"

The old man's words overwhelmed Matthew's momentum at once, and he had to hold back his anger, put away his fists, and squeezed out a sentence from the corner of his mouth: "Mentor, I won't cooperate with you anymore, don't you want to use any of my servants anymore." ”

After saying that, Matthew immediately turned around and walked out of the private room.

The old man watched Matthew's departing back, sneered, and then continued to begin the interrupted meal.

After a long time, the old man finished his meal to his heart's content, and then shook the rattle. An elven attendant appeared in front of the door and asked respectfully, "Mr. Paganini, what are your orders?" ”

"We're back at Freddy Manor, and Patriarch Theresia is still waiting for me. ”

"Okay, I'll go get the carriage ready. ”

The waiter bent down and exited the door. For Patriarch Theresia had commanded that this wise counsellor should be treated with the same courtesy as he would treat the patriarch. At this moment, the old man looked back out the window again, looking at the beautiful scenery of this green city.

The most dangerous place, but also the safest place, as the most dangerous demon, he has always been hiding by the side of the elves.
