Brown gray curly hair, leather long-sleeved trench coat, and that pair of ...... Eyes of solar flares.

Yes, how could Loren have forgotten this Mr. Rutt Infinit? He remembered it very clearly—even if this middle-aged man had plastic surgery, changed his clothes, and broken his leg, and dressed as the lame old beggar who could be seen everywhere on the street......

I can pull him out myself!

The black-haired wizard with a strained body, his dark pupils staring at Corona in front of him - why, why did he tell himself this information?

Is it a gesture of favor between "allies"?

No, no, no, how did he know about it compared to that?

Slowly loosening the hilt of the sword that was clenched, Loren, who had a murderous intent on his face a moment ago, leaned on the back of the chair behind him as if relaxed, and looked at the old man's unchanged expression:

"About this information... Did you find it, or did you find it...... His Excellency Rutt Infinit told you personally?"

Corona just smiled kindly, as if she hadn't seen the black-haired wizard's movements just now: "You reacted quickly, Lord Loren Turin - that's right, the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower and the Night's Watch are mutually beneficial allies. ”

"I'm amazed, Archon Corona. Loren sneered, "If you hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have known where the Night's Watch got the assistance to train so many skilled and high-level Assassins!"

The old man with a slight bow was not even half annoyed, and looked at Loren more like he was looking at a naughty grandchild.

However, you are only half right. ”

"Half?"

"The Wizard's Tower needs the Night's Watch's vast network of information and interests to alleviate the pressure on the Church, and the Night's Watch needs the Wizard's Tower's resources to train their core members—potions, places, spells, materials, and even students and trainers—at an equally high cost. These are the prerequisites for our cooperation. ”

Corona looked at him kindly, "Can you understand the meaning?"

What is the premise of cooperation?

Loren paused slightly, and said tentatively: "Do you want to say that the cooperation between the two sides is for mutual benefit, and it has nothing to do with who is the leader of the Night's Watch?"

"Exactly. Do you remember why His Excellency Ruth Infinit asked you to come?"

It was because of the failure of the Night's Watch to snatch the Holy Blood Potion at Ebolden, which caused most of the entire Ebolden Night's Watch to be lost, and this was ......

Loren froze.

"The cooperation between us and the Night's Watch is equal and mutually beneficial, but on that occasion His Excellency Root Infinit was clearly misunderstood. The coldness of the old man's eyes flashed: "Without prior notice, I put my claws into Eberden - for this dishonest 'ally', of course, a small punishment." ”

So the reason why the Night's Watch failed was actually the Wizard's Tower's midway backwater?

That's why Rut Infinit didn't dare to send a new night watchman to Ebolden, but instead found himself, a night watchman who was "not a night watchman"......

"The Night's Watch are an organization directly under the royal family, and even as allies, we have very little influence over them. Corona's eyes were deep and his tone was modest: "But if you think there is a chance to 'change' a new leader of the Night's Watch on the stage without affecting the overall situation......

I promise, the Wizard Tower will spare no effort to support you in taking a risk!"

The old man's indifference, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning—as if he had already decided that he had become Brandon's wizarding advisor in order to kill Rut Infinit.

Of course, this is indeed part of the reason......

"Believe me so much?" Loren chuckled and shrugged, "You seem to have forgotten that I'm also a 'night watchman'." ”

"This is the perfect place, you are also a night watchman, but at the same time you are our 'own man'. Corona said undeniably, "Even if an outsider like you doesn't have a chance, it would be equally beneficial for the Wizard Tower to put forward a candidate you can trust and be willing to work with." ”

I'm really confident......

"Whatever it may be, Rout Infinit will make a personal trip to prove that there is absolutely no important information that can only be provided by him, and it may well be related to His Highness Brandon—it is both a danger and an opportunity for you. ”

The old man said slowly: "As a wizard advisor to His Royal Highness, it can be said to be the peak and end of a life for other wizards, but it can only be a springboard for you;

"With all due respect, you're not encouraging me, are you?" quipped the black-haired wizard, "grab prestige and climb up or something......"

"But that's exactly what you need and what we need. Corona looked at Loren with admiration: "In the face of dangerous enemies and forces, you need a formidable position in addition to strength, and the Wizard Tower also needs an ally with enough status to share the pressure of the church for us." ”

"I remember you said that wizards are the future, and the past is destined to make way for the future?"

"Yes, but the future is also up to us. Brushing his old and wrinkled hands, the old man silently opened his eyes:

"For the sake of the future that is destined to come, we should do everything we can to ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

..............................

Walking through the alleys, the black-haired wizard who watched the carriage depart stared at the sunset and the fiery cloud-like sunset, quietly admiring the scenery that was not available every day.

There was no one around the street, and it would take a quarter of an hour for the nearest patrol to find out. Before they came, they still had plenty of scenery and enjoyed a rare time alone.

It's weird......

"Aren't you ready to come out?" Sighing, Loren, who didn't look back, said softly:

"Or... Are you going to wait until I'm standing in front of you?"

The alley was still empty, and Loren, standing in place, seemed to be talking to himself.

The next moment, a second shadow appeared in the alley that was originally sprinkled with the setting sun, and the black-haired wizard slightly hooked the corners of his mouth: "When did you come with you?"

Edward's expression was ugly, and he pursed his lips and stared at Loren's back, as if he was still struggling.

"Just an accident. The indifferent night watchman muttered, and the voice came faintly from behind Loren: "I was supposed to go straight back to the Wizard's Tower, but I suddenly wanted to come to you halfway, and it turned out to be ......"

"Unexpected, right?" the black-haired wizard chuckled, and Edward's expression became even more ugly.

"yes, unexpected......"

The Night's Watch found that he had nothing to say other than that.

Loren Turin was not really a night watchman, and he was not in a position to be held to the standards of a night watchman, and likewise he did not have the need to tell himself everything.

Although the two sides are barely friends, this friendship is not strong enough to open their hearts - not to mention that even if they are real "friends", are there still fewer things to deceive and conceal from each other?

Even Peter Fasha had secrets that he never told them, and Edward himself was not just a gangster from Gutter Alley, as he said.

At the very least, how could a thug in the gutter alley use such an expensive weapon as a bayonet?

Loren just smiled, turned his face to look at the indifferent night watchman, and his expression was indifferent: "Can you tell me, what have you found?"

There was a long silence, time was slowly passing, and the patrol would come at any moment.

“...... I didn't see anything. Edward said slowly, "It's just that on the way back, I accidentally bumped into you, that's all." ”

Don't do superfluous things, just do your part, try to take care of friends and trustworthy guys - this is Edward's "survival secret" and how he went from a gangster to a night watchman.

But what if you have to risk your life to help a friend?

What if the opportunity is in front of you, and you just need to do a little extra things yourself, a little more "ambition"?

"Can you answer me a little question before we go back, Edward?" Loren turned around and chuckled, "Declare it up front, it's just a hypothesis, hypothetical... I can offer you the opportunity to replace Rut Infinit as the leader of the Night's Watch......

Will you say yes?"
