Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
In the evening, outside the gates of the city of Ebotdenwest.
After receiving the "accident" of the Bellini family, a member of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, the patrol guards in the west of the city immediately launched an investigation with unprecedented efficiency and reported the news to the Bellini family as soon as possible.
It only took half a day for the guards of the patrol to find the disheveled Verlot sitting in a chair, talking gibberish and foaming at the mouth as if he were crazy, in a dilapidated manor outside the city. It took a lot of effort for the guards to keep the adult stable and not go insane.
According to the explanations of the apothecaries who followed, it is likely that Lord Verlot accidentally fell into a "meditative state" when he was coerced by the gangsters, and wanted to use a very powerful spell to resist, which resulted in "an extremely strong force", causing "consciousness to fall into the void", and only then did he become what he is now.
As for why the gangsters are gone, it is because of the fact that they have all been completely wiped out from this world by the noble spellcaster, Lord Verlo Bellini, with a high-level magic spell of his amazing skill, and even his soul has been torn into a thousand pieces and thrown into hell, never to be turned over!
The only pity is that the wizard named Peter Fasa who traveled with Lord Verlot was already brutally murdered by the gangsters before the Lord used a high-level magic spell, and the guards searched for a long time but did not find his body, and finally could only convey it to the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower in the name of "missing".
Outside the dilapidated wooden house, the dreary-looking Alto Bellini was silent, and the desperate restraint of his emotions was seen by the guards as a sign that the genius alchemist was afraid of his mentor but unwilling to show it.
As the first heir of the Bellini family and a famous genius alchemist, he was so humane, which made the guards can't help but show longing eyes.
"Excuse me, can you let me be alone with my mentor for a while? It won't be long, just a little while. ”
"Of course you can!" Faced with Alto's unpretentious inquiry, the two soldiers outside the door hurriedly agreed: "We are on the side of the carriage, you can call us over at any time if you need it!"
After saying that, the guard waved behind him and left with the guards around the wooden house, to continue searching for the footprints left by the gangsters.
When the guards were far away, the smile on Aalto's face gradually faded, turning into a cold with endless anger hidden in it, and he kicked the door!
"Bang!"
The rotting wooden door was kicked open, and Verlot, who was hiding in the room, was so frightened that he almost jumped on the spot. After seeing that it was his apprentice outside the door, he quickly showed a flattering smile: "Ah, Aalto...... Why are you here? This kind of thing can be ...... by a servant casually."
"My dear mentor has been arrested, how can I not come?" Alto, who was not angry but laughed, walked into the room and looked at Verlow lying on the ground with disdain: "If the people of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower know, what will become of me?"
"Yes, you're right, this won't have a good effect on you!" Wei Erlow, who nodded desperately, hurriedly responded: "Now your reputation is too important to the family, but you must not make a mistake at this time, no one can!"
"Really?" Aalto continued to ask, staring at him as if he were looking at a dead man, "and how do you punish anyone if they interfere with me?"
"I, I, I...... It wasn't on purpose!" Verlot, who saw those eyes, was immediately frightened, and ducked back in a panic, and before he could take two steps back, Aalto pounced on him and stomped on his lower abdomen!
"Ahhh——!!!!!hhh
"You didn't mean it? Yes, of course you didn't mean it! You useless garbage, you make me do my best to deal with your troubles, interrupt my plans again and again! If it weren't for your last name Bellini, you would have gone to hell a long time ago, garbage!"
Heart-rending screams echoed through the room, and Aalto, whose face was distorted with anger, grabbed Verlot's collar: "Now tell me clearly, what else did you not tell me about that wizard named Ain Rand?!"
"I, I... I don't know......"
"I don't know, what do you know?!" Alto roared, "Do you know what just happened?!The patrol guards and trident mercenary regiments we sent to Gutter Alley are actually dead, do you tell me that this is something that an ordinary hillbilly wizard can do?!
Whether or not that damn hillbilly did it, we're in a big mess! If they can kill all the gutters without saying a word, they can rush into our house and slaughter you like a fat pig!
"So, what should I do now?" Although he was afraid, Wei Erlo, who heard this, also panicked: "You must have a good way, right, you have always been the smartest child in the family, there must be a way!"
"The only way now is to keep a low profile and try not to provoke anyone again until the new bishop of the church arrives at Ebolden - and I don't want to hear you pretend to be clever or get into any more trouble, understand?!"
With a cold snort, Aalto, who had relieved himself slightly, regained his original indifference: "As for the wizard named Ain Rand, when we reach an alliance with the church, we will naturally find an opportunity to clean him up."
So, you might as well make this dying man proud for a few days!"
........................What are you talking about?, the Bellini family is allied with the church?!"
As soon as he returned to the Night's Watch stronghold in the sewers, Loren learned the news from Peter, and his expression was no better than Peter's: "This is Eberden!"
"I can understand your feelings, and trust me, I wasn't much better than you when I first learned about this result. Shrugging his shoulders helplessly, Peter Fasa sighed: "I believe that even if I tell the patriarchs of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, they will probably think of me as a madman!"
The black-haired wizard nodded of course. Not to mention Peter Fasa, even he as a foreigner knows how important the city of Eberden is to wizards!
This is the home of the wizarding world, the only city in the empire that is not under the influence and control of the Holy Cross Church, and can give wizards absolute freedom.
There are plenty of financial and material resources, as well as an absolutely authoritative wizard organization and a well-established research and teaching institution, which can support the confrontation between the entire wizarding world and the church - only in Eboden, a wizard of civilian origin (although this is basically impossible) can have a chance to be equal to the nobles, or even get a higher status, and even one of the rulers of the entire city!
"Ebolden is a fortress of the wizarding world, and fortresses are always breached from within. Loren was not in a good mood either, especially when he thought that he was also a wizard: "The Bellini family is clever but mistaken by cleverness. ”
"What do you mean?"
"They think that the Church is interested in the Holy Blood Elixir and prestige, but in fact, I am afraid that what the Church really wants is the whole of Ebolden in real time, and to defeat Ebolden is to bring down half of the wizarding world. After the Holy Cross took control of the city, and even brought the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower under their control, the Bellini family would be of no use to them!
I'm curious if they will be as rampant as they are now?"
"That's the time for that, we have to look at the present. Peter looked at Loren with a strange expression: "You said before that the wizard named Isaac Grantham was secretly locked up by Aalto in a wrecked ship in the port area?"
"It's also a very remote place, and I guess I'll have to look for it for a long time. Loren gave him a strange look: "Could it be that you know where it is?"
"I don't know, but someone probably does. Peter, whose cheeks twitched, smiled reluctantly:
"That...... Vera, do you remember? It's the red-haired girl who wasn't very friendly to you - she grew up in the port district, and she must know where it was!"
