Spell Description: The caster (Victor) conjures a sturdy hut without any spell fluctuations, built from materials commonly used in the caster (such as dirt). The cottage resembles a normal cottage in every way, with a sturdy door, two shutters, and a small fireplace.

The shelter is extremely stealthy, and it can be perfectly camouflaged to blend in with any surface and appropriate surroundings. It may appear as a large boulder the height of a building in a rocky or mountain area, or as a sand dune in the desert, or as a thick, tangled bush, a grassy hill, or even a stout tree.

In this hidden hut, which only lasted eight hours, Victor plotted his next move.

"No matter how you think about it, this covert contact with the 'Northland Alliance' is a very bad thing! This means that the Eternal Temple has sensed the small movements of the nobles......"

Victor frowned and pondered, "I am very passive because I lack the necessary information and intelligence, and I am not familiar with the place, if I can't establish a covenant as soon as possible and pull out the power of the Eternal Temple in the north, the Magic Society will be trapped in the narrow strip of coastal water, and this will be extremely detrimental to the future development of the Society!" ”

"If it drags on for a while, not only will the nobles be purged by the temple, but the Magic Society will also face the two-sided attack of the Eternal Temple!"

"The question now is, how can I reconnect with the nobles of the Northland Alliance?"

Victor paced back and forth in the room in the hut, trying to keep as calm as a mage should be, so that he could find a glimmer of hope in the midst of the crisis.

"Let me think about it, in this city...... What kind of people are there that can be used by me? ”

"How many other 'messenger teams'? Still is...... Cecilia? ”

At this moment, Victor suddenly thought of the aristocratic girl who was very talented in the field of mathematics and physics, "But if you ask her for help, it will definitely bring her unnecessary risks!" ”

"No! This is a backup solution......"

After thinking about it, Victor finally decided to start with the gangsters at the bottom of the city, as the head snakes, they will definitely have a unique set of methods.

……

The Fiadi Brotherhood is one of many gangsters in Fort Saint-Na, a gang of less than fifty members that controls only a few neighborhoods in the city.

Ruth Walker, one of the leaders of the Fiadi Brotherhood, is mainly active at night, leading his men to rob and steal, in this way, he can easily get the money he needs to survive and maintain his position within the group. Sometimes, he uses his terrible looks and muscles to be hired by others, after all, a hideous gang leader can cause more fear in his victims than a gang member does.

That night, Ruth Walker braved the dangers of the fires in the Trade District, intending to take advantage of the chaos to scavenge as much money as he could.

Avoiding the patrol routes of the city's enforcers and the focus of the Temple priests, Ruth crept his way down a dark alley with complicated road conditions to the outside of his precinct.

"Hey, hey! Recently, the cooper's business has been booming...... I heard that the old guy hurts his daughter so much, as long as he threatens it, Lao Tzu can make a big profit! ”

With evil thoughts in mind, Ruth Walker's steps widened.

Soon, Ruth, who was the head of the land, sneaked up to the front of the cooper's house. Just as he was about to slam the door to intimidate, a guy in a black cloak appeared beside him.

"Who are you?"

Ruth's heart was startled, and he quickly scanned his surroundings, but found no one else.

"What? Want to eat black and eat black? You guy don't even inquire about my 'Black Hand' Ruth'......"

After looking at the thin black-robed man in front of him, Ruth's heart was settled, and he threatened with a fierce face: "Boy! If you know each other, give me ......"

However, before Ruth could finish speaking, he saw the black-robed man's eyes glow a strange red glow hidden in the shadows.

After a trance, Ruth, who had returned to normal, suddenly felt that the black-robed man in front of him was extraordinarily kind, like a close friend worthy of his trust.

"Hey!" Ruth greeted him kindly, "What a coincidence tonight, I can meet you here!" ”

The black-robed man let out a low laugh: "Hehe, Ruth! You guy's vision is too bad...... What oil and water can be here? Walk! Take me to your quarters, I've got a big deal to do with you!" ”

"What? Big deal? Ruth Walker rubbed his hands excitedly: "You didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

"What are you lying to do? If it weren't for the fact that there were enough people for this deal, I would have needed to come to you for help......"

The black-robed man sneered, "Hurry up!" We talk as we go. ”

"That's good! Let's go back ......."

Under the influence of the spell "Enchanting Humans", Ruth, who could not remember the name of the other party, did not hesitate and hurried back to the secret stronghold of the Fiadi Brotherhood with the black-robed man.

Unbeknownst to the coomer's family, they avoided a catastrophe of financial ruin.

……

In a dark and filthy inn, more than thirty members of the Fiadi Brotherhood are gathered together by Ruth Walker.

"Ruth! What the hell is so anxious? ”

Another head of the Fiadi Brotherhood said unhappily: "I'm getting ready to rest!" ”

"Boss Barney, I found you in Belinda's bed......"

"Hahaha......"

The members of the Fiadi Brotherhood laughed.

"Boss Barney, aren't you exercising? How did it become a break? ”

"Belinda's kung fu is amazing! Boss Barney, you haven't been drained by her, have you? ”

"Nonsense! Boss Barney has a lot of tricks, who will squeeze who is not sure? ”

“……”

A somewhat annoyed Barney cursed, "Shut up!" You unfamiliar white-eyed wolves! ”

"Who is this guy?"

Barney asked, gesturing at the black-robed man standing beside Ruth.

"Oh, he! He's ......"

Ruth opened his mouth, but didn't know how to introduce it.

"Hehehe...... Does it matter who I am? ”

The black-robed man smiled and said, "I think it's important that I can bring you a lot of valuable income!" ”

"Well, let's introduce myself...... My name is Vic, a black marketeer. ”
