Powell Jr. was honestly frightened and left in a cold sweat. Little Fils's gaze was nailed to his back, as if he could see through him at a glance, and there was no secret to speak of.

Standing on the steps of the temple of the Goddess of Winter, Louis. Fils looked up at the busy subordinates and servants in front of him. His gaze looked beyond the walls of the temple, at the entire Banshee Castle, and even over the walls, trying to see through the gloomy Northlands.

The white-haired Bank walked out of the corner of the temple and quietly approached, "Your Excellency, do you really care so much about that little boss who made a fortune in the Black Forest?" ”

"Do you know where he is?" Louis. Fils asked rhetorically.

"Just look for it, and you'll find it. That guy has been under our noses for more than a month, leaving too many traces. "We didn't pay much attention to him before, but now he's threatening us. ”

Little Fils didn't pick up the topic, and asked rhetorically again: "How is my father?" ”

"Your father's body is no longer good, and he should go to the realm of the goddess within half a year." Bank said.

"What about the other lords of the Northlands? Will they obey me? Little Fils asked again.

"There are always a few of your opponents, but they simply don't have the strength to stop you from becoming the king of the Northlands. As long as you declare a principality, those ridiculous guys will jump out and perform a few burlesques at most, and it won't be difficult to deal with. ”

To prove his point, Bank commented on the current state of affairs in other cities in the Northland. When it comes to Coldwind City, he specifically says, "Colenfield. The long legs are useless, and his son is incapable and can't control ......"

Little Fils suddenly interrupted and said, "I'm not worried about Cold Wind City, the Longlegs family will die if they die. But I'm worried about the guy who made his fortune in the Black Forest, and I'm worried that he'll take Coldwind City first. ”

Old Banker also let out a laugh, "Your Excellency, you are not worried about an opponent with tens of thousands of people, but you are worried about the leader of a village. I've also heard of that one called Victor. Hugo's guy, but I don't think he's that strong. ”

Little Fils glanced at the gray-haired Banker and sighed in his heart, 'This generation from my father's time is really old'. He whispered, "The entire Northland hasn't changed for more than a decade, and you and I both know it's a dead land.

I'm familiar with the other lords of the Northlands, and I'm pretty sure they won't be able to play any tricks. But the Black Forest is a dead place within a dead land, and shouldn't people who can rise from it pay more attention?

I've been collecting Victor lately. Hugo's information, that guy rose very fast. I sent someone to his village of Harmony to investigate the tricks he played in the Black Forest. All the reports pointed out that he was far stronger than expected.

The most surprising thing is that when I was probing him, he actually took the initiative to run to the Banshee Castle.

A month ago, my spy said that someone in the city was paying a high price for war supplies. At first I thought it was a fool from another town, but it soon became clear that the people who did it were rich. Even my money-hungry uncle did business with it.

I asked a wizard named Rom and found out that this sneaky guy was none other than Victor. Hugo. The spies found his servant named Seth, but he was never found.

I'm guessing the master-servant pair are connected by some kind of arcane technique, making it difficult for us to track down.

Until the Powell family suddenly ended, the descendants of the evil worm did not even have a soul left. I realized that this guy hiding behind the back was not easy to deal with. But that makes me wonder even more, Victor. What did Hugo want to do? ”

Old Wizard Bank couldn't answer this question, but he still said calmly, "Just take him here and ask him." ”

"Have you been able to beat the Evil Worm Descendant 'Meng' alone?" Fils Jr. asked rhetorically.

"It should be fine. If I do, I'll gather half of the wizards' group, and they won't have a place to escape. Bank was quite sure about this, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have tolerated 'Meng' hiding near our Banshee Castle for so many years." ”

"You still feel more safe." Little Fils sneered at this: "According to our investigation, Victor. Hugo killed 'Meng' with only two people. How many people are your wizarding regiment going to die to capture him? ”

Banker was speechless. He thinks that his strength is stronger than 'Meng'. But if it really starts, he will definitely bring a lot of people to help. And the wizards under him look like they are all powerful, but it is absolutely impossible to fight for him, and they are absolutely left in one hand when they really fight.

ran over with a halfling chick like Zhou Qingfeng, and knocked the opponent over if he didn't get along. This kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Seeing that Bank was speechless, Little Fils said lightly: "Rom of the wizarding group should know about Victor. Where is Hugo? But that guy is unreliable, and he has been refusing to provide accurate information in order to make money. It's just that this person is a little useful, and I can't do anything about him.

There are even people in the wizarding group who are shielding Roma because they can make money for them. I've also been looking for another way to lock Victor. Hugo's position, in one fell swoop, get rid of this scourge. But I wasn't sure enough, and I couldn't do it easily. ”

This made Bank quite embarrassed. He was in charge of the wizarding group, but he couldn't control the thirty or so wizards in the group. The rule of the Northland is so loose that when there is a conflict of interests, everyone thinks about themselves first.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't use your wizards' men to check anymore. Those guys all got Victor. Benefits of Hugo. You can't use the people of the original city lord's guard, and it's a waste of time to let them check, and even leak the news.

Just that Powell and Victor. Hugo has a grudge and no entanglement of interests. It would be more effective and reliable for him to check it. I also want an elite team under my control to form the Order this time. ”

Little Fils squeezed his fist heavily, and Bank could feel that the incoming new city lord had a lot of reform intentions - once the old magnate had a good life for too long, he would buy a lot of industry, lose his sharpness and enterprising, and need a new magnate to replace him.

This process of great blood exchange is more dangerous than the battle for kingship in the Northland. Bank vaguely felt that Fils Jr.'s target this time was not Victor at all. Hugo - the new lord is in power, and it is true to use the topic to promote a group of obedient new magnates.

Bank had been in the Northland for decades, and he had accumulated enough in his early years that he could no longer look down on the little wealth of the Northland, so he would be more detached. It is his detachment that has won the trust of generations of Fils family owners.

Looking at Louie. With Fils's rigid poker face, the somewhat old-fashioned Bank smiled bitterly in his heart, and secretly thought: "The three generations of heads of the Fils family, this one in front of me is the most thoughtful. Few people can fathom his mind. ”

With a slight sigh, Bank still nodded, saying that he would arrange and mobilize some people who had no interests to track down Victor. Hugo's whereabouts. As soon as he left the temple, he brought Powell Jr. to him and gave him a heavy responsibility.

"You want me to go after Victor. Hugo's whereabouts? "Powell Jr. never thought he would have to do this job. As long as he thought about the day when Zhou Qingfeng 'turned into a dragon' and sprayed the descendants of the evil insects in one go, he didn't have the slightest confidence.

"It's just for you to track it down, not for you to deal with that demon. You have to pay attention, there are many people in the city who are currently in collusion with this guy, and they can no longer be trusted. You have to find people who don't have a stake in it. ”

Master Banker is now Powell's benefactor, and when he speaks, Powell Jr. can't refuse. The latter listened carefully about Victor. Hugo's investigation was the only way to take over this errand.

"Remember, can you get Louie. More trust from His Excellency Fils depends on your ability to complete the tasks he has assigned. Track down Victor. Hugo is the first task you take on, don't mess it up. ”

The serious tone, the heavy pressure, Powell Jr.'s heart was accelerating. Every time I think of Victor. Hugo, he is either in a state of disarray, or he is depressed. Because he has failed too many times.

Old Banker said in a deep voice: "Powell, you have no room to retreat...... if you don't succeed, you will die." ”
