Ebolden Sewers, Night's Watch Base.

Strictly speaking, it can only be called a temporary stronghold - a room converted from an abandoned sewage outlet, a door made of scrap iron, a fluorite lamp hanging from nowhere on the "ceiling", and sewage seeping around the walls.

On both sides of the room, except for a few single beds, the rest of the room was full of large and small weapon racks, ranging from long swords, crossbows, scimitars, and short spears...... He had seen at least twenty daggers alone, and none of them were identical.

Obviously, only the stupid Assassin would think of having everyone use the exact same weapon, for fear that others would not recognize who they were.

On the other side of the room, there was a test bench, and under the wooden shelves covered with tarpaulin were an astonishing number of potion bottles, and a whole set of alchemical vessels, and probably some kind of high-end goods.

Obviously, not only can you make a certain amount of alchemy potions, but you can also use it to repair weapons and engrave runes...... Or even to make alchemical products, if there are really materials.

"So...... Now that we're already a 'family', shouldn't the first step be to exchange information?"

Leaning against the wall behind him, Loren spread his hands to the five "night watchmen" in front of him: "I'm very sorry, but I can't even name you yet." ”

I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, the black-haired wizard leaning against the wall was surrounded in the center, and the distance between them and each of them was not far from twenty paces - only those who knew the high-level spell of "transcendent perception" understood why it had to be twenty steps.

At this distance, if they use Beyond Perception to launch a surprise attack now, they will have time to fight back.

Apparently, these people were "frightened" by the battle of the black-haired wizard next to the dry well - six well-coordinated and experienced mercenaries were eliminated in two minutes, and the other party had no power to fight back.

On top of that, this black-haired wizard didn't use Transcendental Perception from start to finish, and that's what scared and guarded them the most!

At a time when the Ebotden Night's Watch organization was almost wiped out, the sudden emergence of such an "alliance" could not but make them suspicious.

"I'm sorry, but please forgive us for doing that. Peter Fasa smiled wryly and childishly, and then shrugged his shoulders: "Why don't I introduce you first, I don't need to say more." ”

"This is Vera, the only one of us to be recognized as a 'night watchman' and the best of the best. Peter pointed to the red-haired girl beside him, but the other party just snorted coldly, staring intently at the black-haired wizard's every move, making Peter helpless:

"The two next to the test bench are Gavin and Ivan, who were originally apprentices of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower, but their qualifications are not very good, and they can only be spellcasters. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Peter suddenly remembered that Loren was also a "spellcaster": "Well, I don't mean to look down on spells, just ......"

"It's okay, I see what you mean. While greeting the two wizard apprentices with friendly faces, the black-haired wizard shook his head nonchalantly: "No need to explain anything. ”

"Okay, and the last ......"

"Edward, a beggar born and raised in Gutter Lane. Without waiting for Peter to finish speaking, the little "Night Watchman" who was a little indifferent and thin walked over and looked at Loren with a blank face: "I have heard a lot of things, the Vansteno of the Crutch Gang made people lose their mouths, the corpse was hung on the sign of the tavern, and the next day the Copper Plate Regiment merged with the Cane Gang.

There was a rumor that Vansteno had been killed by a dark-haired wizard, but I didn't believe it before - that person was you, right? You didn't buy the boss of the Crutch Gang, you just killed him and replaced him with an obedient dog. ”

"It's just your guess. Loren smiled disapprovingly: "I didn't say that." ”

The indifferent Edward just stood aside and didn't explain anything.

"As you can see, this is the only remaining night watchman in Eberton - we don't even have a single ally to trust except for a handful of neutral informants. Peter Fasa laughed miserably and sighed: "Originally, it could continue to hibernate, but now...... It shouldn't be possible, right?"

"It's all up to someone. ”

Vera, who was red-haired on the side, said coldly: "Not only did it ruin our plan, but the streets and alleys were full of notices offering rewards to us, and it has reached the point where everyone shouts and beats us." ”

"But even if you succeed, will you be able to leave Ebolden?" looked at the girl who was still sulking, Loren asked rhetorically, "What's more...... A bottle of potion doesn't mean anything, isn't our goal a recipe?"

Loren replaced the pronoun with "we" - he didn't want the Night's Watch to continue to think of themselves as outsiders.

"Then what do you think we should do?!" Vera roared excitedly, "Now that there are bounties for our heads everywhere outside, there is no second chance!"

"What if...... I said there's still a chance?"

"What did you say?!"

"Peter, do you know a wizard named Isaac?" The black-haired wizard didn't continue to argue with Vera, and turned his gaze to Peter on the side: "He's probably been here for almost a year, and he's also from Lothair, and he's ......"

"Isaac, Isaac Grantham?" Peter nodded suddenly, and laughed softly: "How could I not know him, he was the one I took him to find Master Freiswalker when he first came, and he almost made the Master so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but he has been missing for a while...... What are you looking for him for?"

"I'll tell you about that later. Loren looked at him: "How much do you know about Isaac Grantham?"

"It's a real talent, no doubt about it...... Although Master Freiswalker never showed it, he did have a lot of affection for Isaac. In the time he first arrived, he was a well-known genius in the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower. ”

Peter Fasa desperately recalled, "But this guy is also a misfit weirdo, with little social contact, so no one found him when he disappeared...... After that, not much of a concern was given to it - you know, wizards are mostly not very kind people. ”

This is understandable by Loren, in order to ensure absolute rationality, wizards will most likely hide their "excessive" emotions, and they will most of them not care about what happens to others.

That's why Mentor Dalton Candle would say that he was an "unqualified" wizard when Loren went to save him.

"I got some very solid clues, Isaac's disappearance and the Bellini family...... Especially related to Aalto Bellini. Loren's expression was calm: "Why do you think Alto Bellini would want to kidnap a country wizard from Lothair with no background?"

The five Night's Watch fell into deep thought, and the indifferent Edward suddenly guessed what Loren meant, and subconsciously raised his eyebrows: "You mean to say that this wizard named Isaac Grantham may have some very crucial secrets, so that Aalto must kill him?"

"It's just a guess, there's no evidence. Loren smiled, with a somewhat seductive expression: "So what kind of secret is so important that Alto Bellini has to be silenced?"

The five night watchmen looked at each other, and then were so shocked that they said in unison:

"Holy Blood Elixir?!"

The black-haired wizard snapped his fingers lightly with an approving expression, "As I said, this is just a guess, but this is the last chance we can successfully obtain the formula for the Holy Blood Elixir."

If we're lucky enough and Isaac Grantham is still alive, we'll find a way to save him from the Bellini family, and we'll be done!

I know you don't believe me, and you may still resent me for letting you fail this mission, so I'm more than happy to compensate you for your losses in the next action, if I can.

Trust me, this is our last chance!"
