As soon as Dylan and Carlos walked into the chamber, the wooden planks on the wall closed automatically.

I saw that the room was simply furnished, and there were many drawings on a long table, and one of them attracted Dylan's attention, which was a map of the Ghaneman Empire. There are many red marks on the map, and I don't know what special meaning there is.

At the long table, three chairs are placed at random, and in the corner against the wall, a low cabinet is placed.

"What the hell is this gopher tavern, and what is the Arcane Brotherhood?" asked Dylan.

Carlos was very satisfied that Dylan could come to him today, and said with a smile: "When it comes to the history of this gopher tavern, it is a long story, and it has to start with the battle of the dragon slayer more than ten years ago. ”

It turned out that after the end of the Dragon Slaying War more than ten years ago, many shadow mages in the empire were assassinated, and the Magicians Association's external statement is that many shadow mages signed a contract with the dragon in order to obtain the power of the dragon dragon, so it will lead to the extremely tragic battle of the dragon slayer.

"Is that true?" Dylan was very concerned about this, because it affected in what capacity he would continue to live in the imperial capital in the future.

If it is true, then Dylan estimates that he will only be able to hide his identity as a shadow mage for the rest of his life, and if it is not true, then he will naturally find a way to clear the name of the shadow mage, so that he can learn shadow magic openly.

"How is that possible? Who would be stupid enough to sell their soul to a dragon? In fact, on the contrary, in that battle to destroy the dragon, the shadow mage played a great role, and it can be said that the battle was excellent, and of course the sacrifice was also great. ”

"But in the midst of that great battle, among the shadow mages came an extremely powerful mage, his name is Eden Moder. He was promoted to the position of Shadow Divine Magister. ”

Hearing this, Dylan couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy Magister? Doesn't it mean that there is only one Holy Magister in the Empire at the moment? ”

Carlos sneered, "He's just a hypocrite with a mask. ”

Dylan frowned: "The books say that he saved the empire when Ghaneman was at his most critical. ”

Carlos said with a blank face: "You know, history is written by the victors. If it weren't for the fact that Eden was seriously injured in that battle, how could there be no place for Eden when he was knighted later?

Dylan wanted to continue asking, but saw Carlos wave his hand and said, "You don't need to know these things yet." When you're strong enough, I'll tell you everything. ”

Dylan nodded, indeed, his strength is still too weak now, and it would be better if he didn't know some things.

"All you need to know is that the gopher tavern was built at that time. At that time, the Wizards' Guild hunted down the Shadow Mages, and many people died in that extermination. And some of the more fortunate ones hid in this black city, due to the particularity of the black city, even the Magician Association could not interfere too much. That's why these shadow mages escaped. It was at that time that the Gopher Tavern was built as a refuge for the shadow mages who were hunted down. ”

Speaking of this, Carlos couldn't help but show a look of palpitation, as if he thought of the tragic chase back then.

After a while, Carlos came back to his senses and continued, "Let's talk about the Arcane Brotherhood again."

"This Brotherhood of Secret Law was founded by me, which means that I am the boss of the Brotherhood of Secret Laws. ”

Carlos's words made Dylan finally understand, no wonder when he came in just now, he said that he was looking for Carlos, and the thin man guarding the door immediately got out of the way, it turned out that Carlos turned out to be the boss of the Tantric Brotherhood.

"We Tantric Brotherhood never ask about your origins, even if you're a shadow mage. We also don't care if you're a fugitive or not, just heartily for our brotherhood, that's enough. ”

Dylan asked curiously, "What exactly does the Tantric Brotherhood do?"

Carlos chuckled softly, "To put it simply, we provide our customers with everything they need, whether it be treasures, medicinal herbs, casting materials, magic scrolls or codex, or even... Human life!"

"Human lives?" Dylan was taken aback, "Isn't that a killer organization?"

"Hehe, that's not accurate, because most of the orders we receive are rare items that are difficult to obtain, and as for the work of paying for life, it is actually rare. Carlos explained.

Dylan couldn't help but pat his chest: "Oh, that's good." I thought you were just a money collecting and killing people. ”

Carlos laughed, "There are indeed quite a few killer organizations in this dark city, but we are different from them. As long as they give enough money, whether it is to kill nobles or commoners, knights or magicians, they dare to take it. And before we take the order, we will fully consider the person who kills the target, if it is a great evil, then we will naturally take it, after all, there is money to be made. If it were innocent civilians, then we would categorically reject it. ”

Hearing this, Dylan's inner sense of the Tantric Brotherhood has improved a lot, and this is at least a black and white organization.

Carlos looked at Dylan with interest and said, "Well, are you interested in joining our Tantric Brotherhood?"

Dylan looked stunned: "I?join the Tantric Brotherhood?" He quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't have time, I have to learn forging with Rick every day, and I have to practice shadow magic hard, I don't have time to help you work." ”

Carlos smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I'll tell you about the benefits of joining our Tantric Brotherhood first." ”

Although Dylan was not very interested in the Tantric Brotherhood, he listened attentively to Carlos's story.

"First, we don't have many rules in the Tantric Brotherhood, and as long as you don't betray the Brotherhood, then we won't interfere in our respective lives. So you are still very free to join our Tantric Brotherhood, even if you have never completed a single order since you joined, it doesn't matter. ”

"Second, our Tantric Brotherhood will keep the identities of all those who join the secret service, which means that you may be a merchant in the imperial capital during the day, and you can come to the Gopher Tavern at night to take orders, and others will not know about it at all. So it won't have any impact on your normal life. ”

"Third, if you complete the list with a relatively high difficulty coefficient of our Brotherhood, in addition to getting eighty percent of the bounty, you can also get some additional resources unique to the Brotherhood. ”

Dylan asked, "What about unique resources?"

Carlos smiled and said, "For example, the Shadow Magic Stone. ”

Dylan's eyes suddenly changed, and Carlos saw everything in his eyes, and the smile in his eyes became a little stronger.
