"Are you really going to believe him?"

When Loren left the Night's Watch stronghold, Vera, who couldn't wait, couldn't help but ask, "This guy is the one who sabotaged our operation and almost got us caught!"

"But if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to stand here alive now, killed by the mercenaries who collected the net when the well was dry. The indifferent Edward also said with a blank face: "For this alone, he is our savior." ”

"Who knows if he deliberately lured those net collectors?!" Vera remained unrelenting.

"What's in it for him?" asked Edward rhetorically, "to show off his hand before us, to prove that he's also a night watchman?"

"That's it!" Vera nodded vigorously: "This is his trick to trick us into trust, and then use us!"

The aloof Edward shrugged his shoulders and decided not to pay attention to the red-haired mad girl.

"What kind of attitude do you have, am I wrong?!"

In a sense, Vera was not wrong, and winning the trust of the Night's Watch was one of Loren's goals. But alas, it just so happens that the difference between being blind and being justified is always obvious.

"Vera!" Peter Farsa interrupted the red-haired girl's complaints, sighed softly, and turned his gaze to Gavin and Ivan, "What do you think?"

The two apprentice wizards looked at each other and nodded silently, the meaning was obvious—they were still willing to believe the black-haired wizard who had saved their lives and was also a night watchman.

"Whatever his purpose, whether he is an ally or not, he has shown no sign of betraying us, at least so far, and I can find no reason to doubt him. ”

The night watchman named Edward looked at Peter Fasha, "It stands to reason that he picked up your fluorite ring, and if he really wanted to expose us, we would have been exposed by then." ”

Peter didn't speak, apparently acquiescing: "And Ain... Loren Torino's strength is also obvious to all, and more importantly...... He's right, it's our last chance. ”

"What do you mean?" the red-haired girl couldn't help but look puzzled when she heard Peter say this.

"It's still a secret, but it's not going to be anymore soon. A wry smile appeared on Peter's face: "When I infiltrated the Bellini family mansion, I overheard Verlo Bellini mention that the bishop of the Holy Cross Church in Eberton will soon be replaced, and it is said that the new bishop is not a local, but is transferred from another diocese.

What do you think is the reason why the Holy Cross Church suddenly appoints a new bishop at such a special time, and it comes from the mouth of an important member of the Bellini family?"

The four of them froze for a moment, and then their faces showed frightened expressions.

"That's right, I'm the same as you think. Peter Fasa's expression gradually became solemn: "The Bellini family...... They are likely planning to leave the Liberty Council and the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower behind and make a deal directly with the Holy Cross Church - if the Holy Blood Elixir reaches them, it will be really difficult to get it again!"

........................ Ebolden South, Gutter Lane.

Since the merger of the Crutch Gang and the Copper Plate Troupe, the gangs in the entire south of the city have immediately undergone subversive changes, and the expanding crutch gang has become a unique and huge force in this area, and it is no longer a force that those gangsters can challenge.

Of course, this is only temporary.

But even if it's only temporary, it makes the entire Crutch Gang make a lot of money. Even just scraping a layer of oil slick from the hands of every black marketeer would be a mouth-watering fortune when it comes together.

The former boss of the Copperplate Regiment, the current leader of the Crutch Gang, and Luke, who has the same name as a certain Morning Star Forest Elf, was sitting in the private room that originally belonged to Verstelno, with a fine heather pipe in his mouth, standing outside the balcony "admiring" his chassis, but there was no joy on his face.

Something doesn't seem quite right in the limelight lately.

Since the appearance of assassins at the Bellini family's Midsummer feast, those "seekers" who had never come to patrol the south of the city have also begun to appear in piles and alleys, and they are also known as "maintaining order".

I'm here, I'm here to steal business with us!

Although the Crutch Gang has never taken the patrol guards of the Freedom Council seriously, in view of the current situation, the current leader of the Crutch Gang, Luca, still told his brothers to be careful not to provoke this group of "seekers", and even took the initiative to abandon a few more lively streets to avoid being set on fire.

Luca thinks he's patient enough for these people - but patrolling the streets south of the city is definitely not the same thing as breaking into the gutter alley!

Just now, a few of his doglegs came to report that a patrol guard had actually driven directly into the gutter alley, and several brothers tried to go up to stop them, but they were crippled by them on the ground!

These bastards who have crossed the line!

Don't they know that this is Gutter Alley, how many powerful people are selling stolen goods here, how many wizards are trading illegal alchemical potions, how many agents of the nobility of the Free Council?!

How many fools do these fools dare to stick their paws out here?!

"Lu, Luca, someone's coming!"

Just when the leader of the Cane Gang was angry, a dogleg suddenly broke into the room, and he looked panicked, trembling, and almost peed his pants.

"Tell me clearly, who's coming?" Although Luca was annoyed by the shameful appearance of the dogleg, he still glanced at him coldly, and then asked cautiously, "Is it the ...... Black-haired wizard master?"

"No, it's not, it's the patrol guards. Dogleg desperately stood up, with a completely frightened expression on his face: "They broke in directly!"

Straight in?!

Luca's scarred face immediately showed a bit of hideousness, and the fierce light of his eyes scared the already frightened dogleg even more half-dead: "Luca, Luca's boss ......"

"Get out of the way, rubbish!" scolded Luca kicked the dog's leg away, "You actually let those people break in directly, and you are also members of the Crutch Gang?!Where are they?!"

"It's, it's down there!"

"You're all here?!" The angry crutch gang boss hated twice, and walked straight out of his room: "I want to see if that uncle is so bold!"

When Lukka actually walked out of the room and went downstairs, not only was the fire completely gone, but even the blood was almost cold.

The not-so-spacious lobby on the ground floor was filled with no less than a hundred heavily armed mercenaries, each dressed in a faintly glowing silver chain mail and full-body gown, all of which were uniformly styled.

As for the thugs of the Cane Gang in the original hall, they were all disarmed, and behind each stood a "patrol guard" with a long sword around his neck.

Damn idiot, what kind of patrol guard is this, this is clearly the guard of the Bellini family!

Luca, who had had a "one-sided relationship" with these people, immediately recognized the identity of the person in front of him - more importantly, it was impossible for the people of the patrol guard to have such courage and such good equipment!

"Please, may I ask......" The trembling Lukka was trembling all over, and desperately squeezed out a smirk on his face: "Is there anything you can do to help?"

"There is only one. The leader was a mercenary leader with a smirk on his face and deliberately disguised as a patrol guard: "Have you ever met a black-haired wizard named Ain Rand?" ”

Sure enough, this group of people came for the black-haired wizard! Luca, who was crying bitterly in his heart, only hesitated for a second, and immediately nodded violently: "I've seen it, he killed Boss Vansteno and hung his body on the sign of the tavern!"

"Oh, in that case, can you do us a favor?" the smirking mercenary leader continued to ask, "Bring this black-haired wizard here?"

"Of course you can!" At the moment of his life, of course, Lukka couldn't object, so he hurriedly agreed: "May I ask what to do?"

"It's simple. ”

As he spoke, the mercenary leader took out a crossbow from behind him and shot an arrow at one of the "patrol guards" on the side, the sharp crossbow arrow gently brushed his cheek, and the patrol guard fell to the ground screaming.

What is this for, touching porcelain?

Before Lukka could come to his senses, the stern mercenary leader immediately shouted, "These damn gangsters are actually trying to attack the patrol guards and kill them all——!!!!"
