With the flames of the furnace blazing and the moonlight cool, Anduin sat by the fireplace and entered the data of the Lucky Coins, Volcano Potions, and Expedition Hats into the system, requiring a total of twenty-six energy crystals, which was not a problem for him with deep pockets now.

At the same time, by the light of the fire, he flipped through the notes of Holy Pope Lazarez, and his expression was so focused that he did not notice that a dark shadow was shuttling through the night, quietly appearing in the corner of the room, and a pair of dark eyes fell on him.

After nightfall, Anduin arranged for the people of the building guild to stay in the manor rooms, and the papal knights and the original guards guarded the surroundings, although the strictness was not enough for flies to fly, but this person was able to sneak into the hinterland of the manor without knowing it, which shows that there must be something special about it.

[Ahem! 】

"What for?"

Anduin was studying a magic skill, thinking that there was no one in the room, he didn't say a word, but the thief was startled, she was sneaking along the shadows, her movements suddenly stiffened to the ground, looking at Anduin who had never looked up, cold sweat was dripping from the side of her face, she thought that Anduin was just an ordinary official priest, and she couldn't imagine that she still hid her strength, and now she can read a book calmly, she must have no fear, and she has to guard against it.

Anduin didn't move, and she didn't dare to move, for fear that Anduin would find a flaw and attack her, but her current posture was very uncomfortable, thinking about whether to quietly change her movements.

[There are thieves! 】

"Huh?"

Anduin was slightly startled, and shook his palm, and the thief who was quietly posing thought that Anduin was angry, so he stopped acting again, and the posture was even more uncomfortable than just now, and the silver teeth under the black veil were clenched, and he found that Anduin looked over, so he simply let it go, and his shape stretched perfectly in the moonlight, using the wall as the force point, like an antelope, and bounced straight towards the fireplace.

In the dim light, Anduin could only see a black shadow flickering closer, and then the silver light burst out, and a snow-bright dagger slashed across the sky.

Anduin got the system prompt, and was prepared in his heart, so he lay on his back on the seat and dodged the blade without hurrying, and then grabbed the leg of the round table with one hand, and suddenly launched the [Shield Slam] in his hand, directly blasting the black shadow far away.

Even if Anduin had the help of the system, he was reluctant to fight the thief assassin in close combat, and after opening the distance, he brushed his right hand over his chest, and then took out the scepter, and aimed at the black shadow is a divine punishment.

However, since the black shadow had the courage to stab, her strength should not be underestimated, and after she was caught off guard and suffered a loss, she no longer kept her hand, and the blade exploded the punishment light in the air, so that Anduin was immediately alert, this person at least had the strength of a bishop, and then said without restraint: "I can pay double the honorarium!" ”

"What?"

The thief was about to launch a counterattack, but when he heard this, he was stunned for half a second, only to realize that Anduin thought that she was hired, his eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly: "It's really safe to squander money that doesn't belong to you!" ”

Now it was Anduin's turn to wonder, because this was not the answer that a normal assassin should have, how could it sound meaningful, a bit cynical?

The moonlight sprinkled down, outlining the bewitching curves of the female thief, and Anduin snorted: "I'm sorry, you are not qualified to discipline me. ”

"Eligibility?"

The female thief's voice was surprised, she laughed angrily, and threw out an object in her hand, not a dagger, but a badge, Anduin took it in the air, and found that it was no different from the count's badge, and suddenly she was a little confused, and frowned: "Hmm...... Who are you? ”

"You don't care who I am!" The female thief was furious, "You just need to know that a large part of the money you wasted is earned back by me!" ”

[It seems to be an ally!] 】

"I don't need you to remind you!"

Anduin probably guessed the female thief...... No, the identity of the heroine should be a full-time procurement of resources for Berval, after all, blatantly collecting resources in her own territory will definitely reveal her stuffing after a long time, so sending people to buy anonymously in the Silver Fortress can avoid many hidden dangers.

Thinking of this, Anduin gently threw the badge back: "This woman, I think you have misunderstood something, if you don't mind, we can sit down and have a good talk." ”

"There's nothing to talk about, Grandpa Ferding said, if I'm not satisfied with the heir to the earl, I can leave directly."

The woman didn't appreciate it, and at the same time threw the badge over, Anduin didn't want to let go of this ready-made porter, and showed a gentlemanly demeanor as much as possible, smiling: "There must be a reason for dissatisfaction, right?" Listen to you, you should be dissatisfied with my transformation of the manor, right? Actually, this is exactly where we need to communicate, otherwise when Grandpa Ferding comes back, he will find that I have you off, and he will inevitably complain. ”

The woman's eyes flickered, and she was moved by Anduin's words, but her tone was still cold: "Say it." ”

"Before that, can you let me know your name?"

"Sonia."

"Good name, the embodiment of wisdom, presumably you, who are smart, should be able to detect that there is something wrong with the archbishop, right?"

Sonia didn't care about Anduin's little compliment, her eyes condensed: "Benedictas? Even if he has a problem, what does it have to do with you messing around with the manor? ”

[Hehe, people don't eat your set! 】

"It's a big deal!" Anduin's tone was very serious, "To tell you the truth, my teacher, the right hand of the Holy Light, Lazares, asked me to find out the true face of Benedictas, this is dangerous, I think you should know it, but I foresee an even more dangerous future, why did Benedictas come to Stormwind, Sonia, do you know?" ”

Sonia shook her head slowly, but Anduin suddenly pointed to her feet: "Because the place we are in was called the Elven Imperial Capital in ancient times!" It is foreseeable that even without Benedictas, sooner or later there will be more powerful beings coveting this place, not to mention the national war that breaks out at any time, it is likely to raze this place to the ground, and when the time comes, whether this manor exists, I think it is unknown.

"So when I returned from this trip, I had an idea, why did the Silver Fortress stand still? In addition to the fact that it occupies the natural danger, but also because there are countless strong people in the city, and I want to guard Stormwind Town, there is no terrain to rely on, only to gather countless powerful existences! ”

At this moment, Anduin showed the revenge that a lord deserves: "Due to the limitations of the environment, I cannot have a large enough territory to attract the strong to surrender, but fortunately, on this trip, I accidentally got some ancient books, and found magical delicacies that you and I have never seen or heard of, and I believe that these delicacies are enough to make people forget to leave." So, I'm going to lay down the Earl's glory and transform this manor into a tavern inn, so that strange people from far and wide can make Stormwind their home! ”

When he spoke, Anduin always paid attention to the changes in Sonia's favorability, but the result was a little bad, and he was worried that his reasons were a bit far-fetched, so he finally played the emotional card, and looked at the fire with great melancholy, but his tone was particularly firm: "Sonia, I don't know if you are tired of your mission, but I hope that one day, you can get rid of the shackles on your body and enjoy life freely, I think that by that time, you can stay by my side and witness the changes in Stormwind." ”

The words fell, falling silent, Sonia's eyes flickered for a long time without responding, and the favorability on her head did not move.

[To be honest, I can't even convince you of your reasons. 】

"Well, for Grandpa Ferdin's sake, I won't be leaving for a while."

【……】

Anduin took the Earl's Medal and handed it into Sonia's hands with great solemnity, and said earnestly: "Wise Sonia, thank you for your trust, now, we have to face the first difficulty, eliminate Archbishop Benedictas. ”

He took out the expedition hat that had been entered into the library: "I hope you can use this expedition hat to ask for help from the Explorers Guild after you arrive at the Silver Fortress, I think Grandpa Ferdin's departure has made him no longer scruples." ”

"The Explorers' Guild?" Sonia's eyes were puzzled, "Why don't you ask the Holy See for help?" ”

Anduin voiced his concerns: "I don't know how many people in the Holy See in the fortress are still firmly following the Light, so, Sonia, I hope you will be careful, and the fate of Stormwind Town is in your hands." ”

Sonia put away the medal and nodded heavily: "Without further ado, I will set off, hoping that when I come back, I can still see you alive." ”

After speaking, Sonia walked into the shadows, Anduin looked at this graceful figure openly, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly called her to stop, hurriedly wrote down a list, and handed it to Sonia: "In addition to the resources that the kobold needs, please buy these things again, there is not much stock in the town, only the fortress can purchase them in large quantities." ”

Sonia looked at the list, her face was strange but she didn't say anything, waved her hand lightly, and disappeared into the darkness, Anduin's eyes were stunned, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

[Don't look at it, everyone is gone. 】

"I'm just wondering, why are dwarf goblins able to build robots, but they can't even get electric lights here?"
