In a tavern on the corner of Yonia County, two drunken drunkards are drinking and chatting with each other.

The ale is not very high, and the price is relatively cheap, although the tavern charges a little higher than other taverns, but the glass is the size of a keg, and this tavern is one of the few taverns that can be paid on credit, so they like to come to this tavern.

"Bartender, bring me another plate of barbecue." One of the red-nosed drunkards slammed the wooden glass on the table, and the pale yellow wine in it spilled a little because of this action, but he shouted nonchalantly to the bartender who was wiping the wine glass on the counter: "How can you drink without a drink!" ”

"I'll wait until you've paid off the five silver coins you owe." The bartender was unmoved by the words of the red-nosed drunkard, and still wiped his cup lightly: "If I continue like this, I will have to throw you out of the city, my dear drunkard Murk." ”

"It's just five silver coins, and when I'm ......developed," Muck muttered, but probably for fear of being thrown out of the tavern by the bartender who looked like five big and three thick, so the sound was like that of a mosquito.

After the last moment, he poked the other drunkard in front of him: "Joe, do you have any interesting news lately?" Speaking of the current snacks, it's really not interesting to drink ale just like this. ”

"Hiccup...... The other drunkard, who was bright red, raised his face and burped, looked at Muck with drunken eyes, and after a while he seemed to understand what the other party said, and said with a smirk: "Ah, if you want to talk about the news, there is indeed one." ”

"Speak quickly, speak quickly. Don't sell it, you're not one of those troubadours who always play tunes! Muck urged impatiently.

"Actually, not long ago, there was a magician in Yonia County." The drunkard named Jo spoke slowly, and from time to time he raised his glass in his left hand to take a sip of ale, and his right index finger kept tapping on the table, and his leisurely expression like a fishing old man hung the appetite of his drinking friend.

"What's so special about magicians, aren't there magicians walking around often when you go to the aristocratic quarters? The last time I saw a few magicians outside the gem shop, I saw them inside. ”

Muck disagreed with Joe's words, booing and cheering. While sipping his wine: "Aren't you called 'Yonia's sewer rat (sewer rat is also a colloquial saying, a metaphor for some lowly but well-informed people)', and you even take out such ordinary things to fool people?" ”

"Hi. If it was just an ordinary magician, I certainly wouldn't have brought it up. Qiao drunkenly crutched his cup and let out a thumping protest, obviously dissatisfied with the other party's disapproving expression: "That mage master brought out all the natives in the Dest Jungle. Extradition to the outskirts of Yonia County. You must know that Lord Ludao has already sent people to negotiate with those natives many times, but let alone let them out, even their village will not be allowed to enter. ”

"Oh, that magician is amazing, isn't he?" Muck's nose looked redder than before, giving the illusion that it was glowing.

"It's more than amazing." Joe shook his head, and with an expression of 'I'll just talk to you, no one else will tell him', he leaned into Muck's ear: "Don't talk nonsense, it is said that the mage master once thwarted a vampire's plot and crusaded against a very powerful vampire." It is said that he was awarded the Order of Merlin, 3rd class! ”

"Well, that's... Indeed... Hiccup, it's terrible. ”

Muck said with his tongue wide open, nodding his head unfocused, looking like he was going to get drunk at any moment.

"That's right. It is said that the old mage was once a professor at the National Academy of Magic in Julianne. Compared to his drinking friends, Joe obviously looked much better, he didn't look drunk at all, and even spoke very fluently. …,

"No, but ...... Hiccup, great magician...... It's not for nothing, hiccup. Muck was not convinced. Relying on the little sobriety he maintained, he argued: "It's not either... Hiccup, what's interesting... things. ”

"The problem is, this mage master was assassinated by a vampire assassin yesterday!" Joe saw that Muck, who seemed to be on the verge of getting drunk, dropped a bombshell.

"What!" Suddenly, when he heard this, Murk's drunkenness actually sobered up a little: "Is it in Yonia County?" ”

"Not only in Yonia County, but also in hotels in the city, in the business district." As if he was afraid that the others would hear, Joe continued to speak softly: "It is said that the fighting was so fierce that most of the hotel was destroyed, and even the nearby streets were affected, causing great damage. ”

"It's... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? Muk forgot to drink his wine, and looked at Joe a little dumbfounded: "I said how come I saw a pillar of smoke rising up from the commercial street in the morning, and the number of patrolling city guards has increased again." ”

Not long ago, a family was found in a farm on the outskirts of the city that had been brutally murdered by the gnolls, so the number of city guards patrolling was already much higher than usual, but I didn't expect this to happen again.

"It is said that yesterday the Master Master accepted the invitation of Lady Sharon in the Imperial Capital, and planned to take a griffin to the Imperial Capital." Joe added: "I guess it's because that assassin thinks that if he doesn't do it, he won't have a chance, so he took the risk." After all, it is almost impossible to succeed in the imperial capital. And from the mouths of those natives, you can also know that the mage master has experienced a series of fierce battles when he came to Yonia County, and his magic power has long been insufficient, so he will lose to the despicable sneak attackers! ”

"What about the murderer?" Intrigued, Muck continued to ask, "Haven't you caught it yet?" ”

"Judging from the scene, the murderer should have been severely injured by the mage, so he didn't kill other people, and just ran away like that." Joe repeated what he had heard: "But the lord is scared enough, and now he has issued a death order, and has placed a large reward for the assassin. Unfortunately, there is still no clue so far. ”

"Sure enough, there's something like a vampire...... Gee. Muck shook his head, as if if he would pump a vampire in front of him.

"Isn't it?" Joe also said unsatisfactorily: "I can go over and see, that street is really ruined, I'm afraid I won't want to open it again in a week." There are also a few little girls who are said to be the students of the master of the mage, and the crying is sad......"

"But it's a pity." Muck shook his head. After a while, his wine seemed to come up again: "Such a good magician......"

Then the two of them began to talk chaotically again.

A man in a black robe in a seat behind them beckoned to the counter: "Bartender, check out." ”

The bartender also stopped, continued to stretch his ears to listen to the nonsense of the two drunkards, put down his work, walked to the man and looked at the bill.

"Twenty coppers, Sheng Hui."

After taking out a silver coin and handing it to the bartender, and telling him that he didn't need to look for it, the man got up and left the hotel, and when he walked outside, his black hood was blown by the wind outside, revealing a young face.

It was the face of a magician who was supposed to be dead.

After leaving the tavern, he circled the county town of Yonia and the surrounding area a few more times.

"The Assassin of the Night Nobles is gone." There was a smile on Xiwei's face that couldn't be suppressed, and his heart was full of pride: "Ji Lu has succeeded." ”

Whether it was the intention to accept Mrs. Sharon's invitation or the news of his own death, both of these news were deliberately released by Sivi. …,

The former is to lure out the Night Nobles who may be lurking around here, after all, if he really goes to the Imperial Capital, then ordinary vampires really don't want to touch him again, and this is obviously not an acceptable situation for the Night Nobles who have been repeatedly slapped in the face by him, so if you are sure, it is the best choice to attack before he sets off or on the way.

Before that, Sivi had already informed Sophia, although she also thought about whether to tell Alyssa, but considering that the girl's acting skills were too poor and she might be able to wear a goof, she still didn't tell her in advance.

Now a few little girls have realized that they are not dead, but they still set off with his 'ashes' to the original mage tower, nominally to make a grave, but in fact they are just going to take out the things they left there.

The boy named Vilun had been sent to the border guard regiment yesterday, and Sivi gave him a diary, which was a magical item that he bought from the achievement shop for a full thirty achievement points'Exchange Diary', two diaries are a set, if you write on one of them, you can also see it on the other, which is very convenient as a communication tool, but unfortunately once one is written, it is useless......

Incidentally, Sylvie also bought another set of exchange journals and gave them to Alyssa to keep in touch with the girls.

After the night nobles are lured out by him, it is time to show off their acting skills.

The other party is an earl-level vampire, with a lot of combat experience, and when he fought with Sivi, he also used some kind of special magic to soar his strength to the marquis level, unless he was trapped by surprise for a few seconds, and then used the Void Emperor's Fist, Sivi had no chance of winning at all.

Fortunately, this time he didn't want to win.

After making a 'desperate resistance, but helpless to lack of magic and many times restrain his hands', the other party really fell for the use of powerful magic. Sivi, on the other hand, threw away his mage robe and hid in the copy at the moment when the magic was about to hit him, making the scene that he had been killed by the magic, and only a few pieces of cloth were falling.

Then, after calculating the time in the dungeon, he changed into a robe and hood that could hide his face, and he came out again, and left the place of the incident as soon as possible.

Apparently, he managed to hide from the vampires.

In this way, he can finally hide in the shadows and take the first step towards establishing the No. 1 magic academy in the world! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
