Ebolden South Civilian Quarter, Old Cripple Tavern.

Even after the devastating blow, the Night's Watch still has no less than twenty strongholds throughout Ebolden. There will be plenty of supplies to serve as a garrison, and of course there will be temporary havens, hidden enough to allow them to gather intelligence through neutral informants and members of the organization's periphery while evading pursuit.

The Old Cripple's Tavern is one such place - after the black-haired wizard returns with Isaac, the entire Night's Watch organization immediately leaves behind all their belongings and retreats from the sewers stronghold to settle here for the time being.

After listening to Isaac's explanation, the night watchmen were all terrified and frightened - they had been in the sewers full of "mutant monsters" for months, and they hadn't even bumped into each other!

Of course, it's more likely that the sewers were too large to get them out of the way...... Whatever it was, Peter Fasa and the rest of the Night's Watch didn't dare to stay there any longer.

The "Old Cripple Tavern" is one of the industries on the periphery of the Night's Watch, and the tavern owner, Locke, is a well-known bard and a night watchman's intelligence peddler, with no less than double-digit love debts, plus a cuckold nobleman who wants him to die without a place to be buried, and he escaped by relying on Peter Fasa's alchemical potion to change his appearance.

Although after hearing about the glorious deeds of the "legendary bard", the black-haired wizard was eager to exchange experiences with this "social expert" and ask him how he lived among the flowers without a single leaf. But there are more life-threatening things at stake, so I have to give up this plan for the time being.

“...... So, are we done now?!"

In the box on the second floor of the tavern, the red-haired girl sitting around the fireplace was extremely excited, and pointed to a certain "strange person" sleeping next door to Zhengxiang: "Since this person named Isaac Grantham is the key to the entire Holy Blood Elixir, doesn't that mean that as long as he is there, we can complete the potion, and we don't have to find a way to steal the formula at all?!"

"I think you're oversimplifying, Vera. ”

The Night's Watch named Edward shook his head sensibly, "Although I am not a wizard, I have never heard of a potion that can be made without the help of apothecaries and alchemists. ”

"We've got Peter Fasha!" Vera was still unconvinced.

"I'm sorry, but Vera...... I'm probably going to disappoint you. Hearing the red-haired girl mention herself, Peter couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Not to mention copying the recipe of the potion, I can't even understand the rune format compiled by His Excellency Isaac Grantham, let alone create a new alchemical potion from scratch." ”

The red-haired girl's face immediately showed a little loss, and the rest of Gavin and Ivan couldn't help but lower their heads - if even Peter couldn't do it, then they didn't even need to ask.

"So after a big circle, we still have to figure out the recipe?" Vera looked at a few people with some dejection: "What's the difference between this and the beginning?!"

"The most important point is that we have figured out the truth about the potion, especially the fact that Aalto Bellini did not finish the potion. The indifferent Edward spoke slowly, "And without Isaac Grantham, he will never be able to finish." ”

"Not only that, but with Isaac being saved, our situation has become even more difficult. ”

The voice behind him made several night watchmen look over involuntarily, and the black-haired wizard, who had been leaning against the door and remained silent, suddenly spoke: "Whether we want to capture him or kill him altogether, Alto Bellini will not let us take Isaac away, because it is a mortal threat to him." ”

"A deadly threat?"

That is to say, he did not complete the Holy Blood Elixir alone, but stole the fruits of others. Peter Fasa knew this better than the other Night's Watchmen: "In the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard's Tower, this is a crime that must not be forgiven!"

"So, if we report to the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower that he stole someone else's work, then it will be ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Vera saw everyone staring at her silently, and immediately understood that the red-haired girl who had come over drooped her face and snorted coldly: "If you can't do it, just say it, why are you doing this?"

"Ahem, ahem...... All in all, we are in a very dangerous situation right now, the Bellini family will spot us at any time, and all the patrol guards may be their eyeliners. ”

Coughing lightly, Peter Fasa interrupted Vera, who was still making trouble: "Your Excellency Loren Turin is right, so we must decide on the next step as soon as possible." ”

Gavin and Ivan looked at each other, Edward was silent, and Vera was making a fuss...... Peter, who was physically and mentally exhausted, let out a long sigh and couldn't say a word.

"If you haven't figured it out for a while, can you listen to my plan first?"

The black-haired wizard wasted no time in speaking, walked over and sat down on the chair opposite the five people very casually, smiled and put his hands in front of him, and took out an invitation card from his jacket pocket, the name on which made Peter's eyes widen:

"Isn't this going to be ......?"

"Aalto Bellinito, who brought me, invited me to the Silver Room for a banquet tomorrow. Loren smiled and handed it to Peter, "I think this will be an opportunity." ”

"Opportunity? Is this a trap?!"

"Yes, but it also confirms my suspicions, and Aalto Bellini has probably decided that I had something to do with both Isaac and Gutter Alley...... While this is true, it also gives him an extra blind spot. ”

"You're trying to say that he doesn't know that you're also a Night's Watch?" Edward seemed to understand what he meant.

"That's right!" Loren nodded in response, "Just like our last plan, I'll be in charge of getting Aalto Bellini's attention, and delaying as long as possible, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

"Action?" Peter suddenly had a bad premonition, "What are you going to do?!"

Loren didn't answer him immediately, his eyes swayed back and forth on several people's bodies, and the undisguised gaze made Vera's heart a little furious, and she found that she was actually a little afraid of the black-haired wizard: "What are you doing?"

“...... I was hesitant. The black-haired wizard's expression suddenly turned cold, leaving Peter and Vera a little baffled. However, Edward, who was born in Gutter Alley, saw a rough idea and frowned slightly:

"You don't believe us?"

"Yes, I'm very worried that if I come up with this plan, there's a good chance you'll betray me. Now that the other party has found out, Loren replied bluntly: "So I'm not sure if I should tell you." ”

"You?!"

"Can you explain?" Peter Fasa, who was on the verge of breaking out, asked again, with an equally ugly expression, "Since you are willing to say it, it proves that you are still willing to believe us, right?"

"Of course. The black-haired wizard looked at the five of them with a calm expression: "To put it simply, I know that there is someone who can assist Isaac Grantham in completing the Holy Blood Elixir. ”

What the?!

This time, even Edward couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart, and stared at the black-haired wizard in front of them with wide eyes, as if he had seen some kind of monster.

Did he plan it all before he arrived at Ebolden?

"So it's up to me to get the attention of the Bellini family, and you guys cover Isaac's evacuation from Ebolden - as long as you leave Ebolden, it will be difficult for the Bellini family to catch us again!"

"Sounds like a good plan. ”

The indifferent Edward nodded, and after glancing at Peter, he looked at Loren solemnly: "So...... Why do you worry about us betraying you?"

"I'm not worried that you'll be in league with the Bellini family, or secretly with other Ebolden giants - after all this time of working together, I'm willing to trust you. ”

The black-haired wizard shook his head slightly, his eyes cold:

"My real fear is that you'll hand over Isaac Grantham to the leader of the Night's Watch, Rut Infinit!"
