"Pinris?" the little mage named Stephanie looked at the enthusiastic gray-robed mage across from him with a fly-like look. "What are you doing here? I'm in charge of the work in Osstar. ”

"It's up to you to do it temporarily, Stephanie. You're just doing the work of our executive department for the time being, and it's time for the professionals to handle it. The gray-robed mage didn't mind the failure of his hugging posture, he still smiled, but the smile was gloomy, like a scavenger, with a hostility and appetite that could never be erased, making people look like they would never feel comfortable.

"So far, my work has gone smoothly and I don't need you to take over. Stephanie replied coldly, not even wanting to sit down.

"No, no, no, I don't think so. Although your ability to work in the planning department and R&D department is obvious to all, when it comes to execution, you are indeed still a layman. "This gray-robed mage named Pinglisi looks to be in his thirties, which is more in line with the imagination of ordinary people for mages, with a thin and pale face, slightly messy hair and eye bags, and his expression is also exaggerated with a gloomy owl, and his tone of voice is sharp and ugly. "For example, in a situation like the one now, the organization has laid such a good foundation for you in Ossing City, but you can't even deal with a group of barbaric Westerners, and you have exposed your intentions and traces. I can't let you waste the organization's resources like this anymore, so I'll take over the rest of the work. ”

"I repeat, the work is going well here, and I've already arranged the next series of actions to get my hands on what the Westerners have brought in no time. Moreover, the position of the city lord of Osstar City will also fall into the hands of the Anthony family, and both things can be achieved perfectly. ”

"So that's why I said you're unprofessional. The gray-robed mage shrugged his shoulders and sat down, picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of black tea. "You are doing two such important tasks at the same time. The materials brought by the Westerners were very important, and President Gesidy personally told him to get them. And the dominance of Ossing City is related to the strategic deployment of the entire West Coast, and even if we come, such two important tasks must be carefully and carefully deployed and implemented step by step, and you can actually carry out them at the same time in such a situation of insufficient preparation......"

"I think these things that are going to be going on inside the organization should be discussed when no one else is present. Stephanie glanced at the old crow on the couch. The old crow didn't seem to hear the argument next to him at all, and still drank the black tea leisurely.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Fiflhead is now a junior member of the Alpha Renaissance. Pingris smiled darkly and raised his teacup to the old crow, who smiled and raised the teacup in response.

Stephanie glared at the two men, and then said word by word: "He's just a gang leader who started by extortion and human trafficking, and he can't even do a low-level zero-level trick, how can he become an official member of the organization?"

"Absolutely. Mr. Fiflhead has just donated 20,000 Okin to the organization. Of course, the value created by these gold coins is far more than a few low-level tricks. Pinrees smiled again, and smiled very happily. "And Mr. Fiflhead's personal ability, the role of his organization on the West Coast, and the role of his organization on the West Coast, are of great value to the Renaissance, and the point is that Mr. Fiflhead's passion for the Empire is touching, so I used my annual opportunity to make Mr. Fiflhead a member of our organization. ”

"Hahahaha, 20,000 Aojin? Yes, it's a good income. Stephanie laughed too, and the laughter was shrill and piercing. "But how much did you collect yourself? 50,000 or 100,000? It's enough for you to buy two dryad slaves, isn't it?Old crow, no, junior member Mr. Fifhead, I have to admit that you have superior vision and bold courage to perceive the wave that Revival is about to set off on the West Coast, and to protect yourself by joining it, or even to take it a step further, which is a very good choice. But I warn you, no, both of you, that the Revival Society is not a tool for people to use to satisfy their desires, and I bet that anyone who thinks about it will not end well. ”

The old crow still had a peaceful face, drinking black tea with a graceful and elegant temperament, the smile on his face did not weaken by half a point, and the gray-robed mage Pinglisi's face was a little unbearable, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he said gloomily: "Don't use unfounded speculation to change the topic, let's move the topic back to the original point." Stephanie, I heard that you still want to capture Westerner mages as research material? The point is that your poor capture attempt has failed. The fact that you have not forgotten your role in the R&D department in such an important task is ironclad proof that you are not suitable for the task. In view of your poor implementation, I will take over the rest of your work as the official executor of the Executive Department. This is the ordinance of the Ministry of Enforcement, and I also have a good reason, and you have no right to refuse. ”

Stephanie's face was already flushed, and she glared at Pinglis, gritting her teeth and said: "What do you know that you can't even solve the six-ring joint formula, the skills used by that Oriental have great research value, if you can analyze the principle, the value may still be above those alchemy materials! And have you forgotten what the most important quality of a mage is? It is the desire for knowledge!"

"I don't have to unravel any joint formulas, and I'm a good formal executor. And I'm sorry to tell you that I just mastered two five-ring spells not long ago, and with my rich experience, the rationed execution golem is much stronger than you in terms of execution. As for the rash behavior of your intellectual curiosity, not only does it expose itself, but it may also implicate the organization's plans on the West Coast. Pingris, who had regained the initiative, retorted tepidly, sighed very deliberately, and looked up and down the little mage who was standing there stubbornly again with the eyes of that scavenger: "I said, dear Stephanie, what are you doing so desperately? You still deliberately use spells to disguise yourself like this, don't you know that your beautiful appearance and hot body keep many young people in the executive department awake at night? plus your noble origin and surname... I heard that Archmage Atonia is very obsessed with you, as long as you want, the position of the countess is in your pocket, and you no longer have to work and rush around, no longer have to dissect those disgusting corpses in the laboratory to do those dangerous alchemy experiments, and it is also a great help to the organization to win over an archmage......"

"Enough. I'm going to throw up if you say it again. You are simply insulting the noble title of mage. The little mage in front of him had a disgusting expression as if he was watching flies eat. "Wisdom and curiosity are the most important and the only treasures to be proud of. If transforming into a goblin can make my intellect more developed and easier to perceive the deep web, I will never hesitate. What you just said proves that you are no different from the peddlers who buy and sell pork, transport manure, and clean latrines......"

"I said, Your Excellency, can you stop for a while. Instead of pointless finger-pointing at each other, let's talk about the practical difficulties we are about to face?"

The old crow, who had been drinking black tea on the ground, finally coughed, attracting the attention of the two mages. He wasn't just trying to round up the conflict between these two new 'colleagues', in fact, there were indeed very important issues that needed to be resolved today, and it was just a waste of time to continue to pretend to listen to the two mages arguing.

"Yesterday afternoon, the former Governor of the Port, Lord Roynala, took a Westerner to the Rothschild House in Meranburg, where he met with Baron Atokin and several other persons in actual power. At such a sensitive time, they are willing to take the time to meet a Westerner, which means that there must be something unusual behind it. I sent someone to investigate, and finally learned from the servants of Lord Roynara's house that the Westerner had forcibly broken into the house of the Governor of the Port with the priest of the Temple of the Sun, accusing him of instructing the assassination of the clergy. ”

"It's a very serious accusation, and Lord Roynara certainly won't admit it, but there was indeed an attack on the clergy the night before, which resulted in the injury of a priest of the Temple of the Sun. Under the oath of the clergy, no one dared to deny the authenticity of this vicious incident, even if no evidence was left. I think that's why he had to lead the Westerner to meet the head of the family. ”

"Look, look, dear Stephanie, that's the consequence of your immature and unprofessional actions. It's not that I can't touch them, and I like to do some wholesome exercises with the drugged priestesses and ask them about their beliefs, but that has to be done quietly, without leaving a trace or tongue. The fact that you have failed in such a rash way gives Westerners an opportunity to intervene in the Rothschilds. He shouldn't be able to do anything about it, but what if something goes wrong with it? I just hope you didn't reveal too many secrets in that failed operation, or that the Westerner didn't see much of it. ”

Pinris's weird tone made Stephanie's face flush again, but it was rare that she didn't open her mouth to refute this time.

"It's a pity, I'm afraid that the Westerner really took this opportunity to do something. The old crow rubbed his forehead. "According to my information, Baron Atokin and several others did not meet one by one, but met with this Westerner at the same time and held an emergency meeting, the content of which cannot be known for the time being, but I feel that we should be vigilant. ”

"It's just that the Rothschilds can't make any big waves. Whether they like it or not, the next Lord of Osstar will no longer be someone from their family, and it will be the decision of the Mage Council. Pinris shrugged disapprovingly, then smiled meaningfully. "Of course, we still need to be vigilant, at least not to the detriment of our interests too much, Mr. Fiflhead, who is our trusted junior member and whose organization is an important asset to our Renaissance. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency Pinris. The old crow didn't deny it, and nodded directly. In fact, he endured the pain and hemorrhage, and paid the 150,000 Aojin for this. Now it turns out that this is a wise choice. "So then, shouldn't we ...... next?"

With a bang, the door of the reception room was slammed open, and one of the old crow's cronies ran in breathlessly, and said breathlessly, "Boss, boss... You... You... Quick..."

"Calm down and say well. The old crow himself had first calmed down from a moment of frustration. The matter discussed with these two mages was too important, and he naturally ordered everyone not to come near here, but this subordinate who was more close to him rushed in like this, there must have been an extremely urgent and important change.

The subordinate gasped for a few breaths before saying, "You... Let's go... The sheriff took a Westerner, as well as Gawain, the Guardian Hand, the Northern Legion, and the Port Guard. They said that we were suspected of attacking the clergy, that we were suspected of colluding with cultists, and that we were coming to search this place. The brothers desperately resisted them and didn't let them in, but once they really fought, they couldn't stop them... Let's go now. ”

"What? this... This... How could this be? How could they... How can you find the ...... here" Even with the old crow's forbearance and the city government, he couldn't accept this news, and suddenly stood up from the sofa, but his face was dumbfounded.

"Oh, it seems that your rash actions have really caused trouble for our Mr. Fiflhead. Pinreis didn't look surprised, and had time to take a sip of black tea and glance at Stephanie.

Stephanie's face turned blue, but she didn't say anything to refute, just lowered her head and recited a few gestures, the focus of her eyes changed slightly, and then she frowned, and said, "It's true." The Secret Eye I placed also showed that there were at least dozens of creatures with vital signs above three or four energy levels outside, and a few of them had reached level six or seven or above, which was a standard high-threat unit for humanoid creatures. ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Fifhead. If it doesn't work, just let them in and get rid of them. Your organization is now an important subsidiary of the Arcane Revival, and it can't be easily damaged. Pinris smiled grimly. "And as a true professional, my hands and feet are very clean, and there are absolutely no after-effects. Those rude men with knives and guns may seem powerful to ordinary people, but they are no more difficult to deal with than some simple-minded beasts in front of Arcan. ”

"No, it's not that simple....... there's a problem, there must be a problem. The old crow's expression was cloudy, his eyes flickering, and he was not purely flustered. "The sheriff accepts a bribe of a hundred gold coins from me every month, and he has a handle in my hand, and the two captains of the Harbour Guard also rely on me for most of their income. And Baron Atokin has also taken a stake in my business, and it doesn't do anyone any good if something happens to me, so why would they suddenly join forces to do this?"

"Could it be that the Westerner really went...... No, it is absolutely impossible, he is a foreign race, and he has only been in Osstar City for a few days, how can he have the ability to do such a big thing. There must be a ghost in this. I'm going to go out and have a look. After a few breaths, the old crow regained his composure. He bowed to the two mages. "Your Excellencies, please take a moment of recusal, and I will negotiate with them. If it's just to give an explanation to the temple, let them search and deal with it casually. ”

"It doesn't matter. The two mages looked at each other for a moment, and then the gray-robed mage shrugged. The little mage nodded: "It's okay, then I'll go and transfer that westerner female mage to another place first." ”

"Oh, by the way, dear Stephanie, you also captured a female mage. Pinris laughed, rubbed his hands, and licked his somewhat pale and blue lips. "Can I go and see? You know, I have a lot of experience interrogating women. ”

'Lucky Eyrault's Rabbit's Feet' is actually a large complex building, surrounded by a long and narrow house on three sides in the middle of a gloomy and secluded courtyard, and in the corner of the courtyard stands a small stone house made of rock, which looks quaint and quirky.

"Oh, so there's a water elemental temple here?" Pinreis screamed in surprise at the sight of this strange stone house. "It seems that at least it is left over from the time of the Kingdom of Totya. Did the druids build it? Why not tear it down, are there still people worshipping the elemental gods?"

"Ignorant civilians always have an innate fear and fear of the gods, and they dare not offend even elemental gods who do not respond to prayers. The builder of this building was a wealthy maritime merchant, and it was probably a special nouveau riche aesthetic to incorporate a small abandoned temple into his garden, and perhaps he thought that the god of the water element would protect him from shipwreck, but now the only purpose was to interrogate and imprison prisoners. ”

Casually explaining, Stephanie led Pinris to the door of the stone house, but they immediately stopped, because the scene inside was somewhat unexpected.

The Eurohan who had been ordered to guard the prisoner was now lying on the ground silent, and although there were no scars or blood to be seen, the mud and marks on the ground, and the painful expression on his face, showed that he had struggled to die.

Fortunately, his killer has not left yet. In the pond in the center of the stone house, the female mage of the West who was shackled was sitting there cross-legged, and saw two mages appear at the door, and the water in the pond beside her was actually boiling, and then tangled and solidified and rose into the air, like a group of transparent poisonous snakes with life, expressing hostility and threat to the two mages.

"Oh oh, look at you, Stephanie, there's something wrong with the captives you've been holding here rashly!"

Stephanie's face sank like water, staring coldly at the Western female mage in the water, and the gray-robed mage next to her gloated again, shouting happily: "It's rare that you still use the forbidden demon shackles." Have you forgotten that this thing is of little use to the clergy? But didn't you say that this Western lady was a mage? ”

Stephanie snorted and said coldly, "The primitive spellcasting system of the Western Continent really has something in common with the ancient druids... It's really strange that this temple, which has been abandoned for so long, still has the power of the water elemental god left...... But, Mu, do you think this is useful? You don't really think that this low-level elemental power will pose any threat to two real mages, do you?"

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore. The gray-robed mage next to him rubbed his hands, foaming at the mouth, eager to try. "The important thing is that this Western lady looks beautiful, exactly what I like. Most importantly, I couldn't help but want to explore the mysteries of Western magic on her beautiful and sexy body. By the way, I suggest you take a closer look, dear Stephanie, and I will be very, very happy that you can decipher the mysteries of Western magic while admiring my exquisite and fascinating technique. ”

"These two European Daoyou, can you let them go? The Mu Daoyou inside is a member of our Great Cadre Envoy Group, did you imprison her here?"

The sudden sound from behind them startled both mages, and a burst of magic aura flashed around them at the same time, and the protective spells that had been stored in the props were instantly activated, and both of them turned to the side.

However, the people who spoke out did not mean to sneak up on them, and they all saw this Westerner in his thirties, dressed in a strange robe, who looked very Sven, just standing in the middle of the courtyard about ten meters away from them.

"Daochang Liu!" The female mage of the West who was sitting in the pond also saw this person, and immediately couldn't help but exclaim with joy.
