"Wouldn't that be a little out of place?" Hypatia's momentum weakened all of a sudden.

"What's inappropriate?" Yechen puts the pickled fish in the pot to steam, and recently she likes steamed vegetables, "It's not good to have experimental materials?" ”

"It's good, it's just that I'm afraid that in this way, no wizard will dare to come."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Yechen adjusted the size of the fire, and after becoming a third-level professional, the psionic crystals in her hands were more sufficient, and she was also generous when cooking.

Carefully adjusting the heat, Yechen picked up a towel and wiped his hands, and said, "It's okay, at this stage, the various professional organizations are still in the early stage, and they are still very weak. Weakness means that a master can hold up an organization, rest assured, at least in the last few months, as long as I am here, the brand of the Wizards Association will not fall. What matters now is the selection of wizards, which is the basis for the future development and growth of our wizarding association. ”

"That'...... All right. Hypatia said unsurely, she didn't know much about things like the Vertical and Horizontal, and she had a fight with the Hurt Rain, anyway, before, only two official members of the Wizards Association could become the first echelon in the Professional League, which made her feel quite magical. Let's listen to the president in this regard.

……

Because of the sea, the winter is not particularly cold, of course, whether it is cold or not depends on where it is compared, and some inland cities are indeed not too cold, but there are more than a month The minimum temperature is several degrees below zero.

In the past, the cold of winter was not a big deal, after all, it is a bustling metropolis, although there are no heating pipes, most of the houses are still equipped with electric heating equipment such as air conditioning.

However, since the world changed in September, all the power equipment has failed, don't think about electric heating or anything, no matter how cold the day is, you can only carry it hard - of course, you can also use more primitive methods to heat - for example, Yechen used it, and built a stove in the house.

However, making a stove is not so simple, it requires skills, and few citizens in modern big cities have this kind of skill, so because of the insufficient combustion of firewood resulting in carbon monoxide poisoning, accidentally making fires often occurs.

"So......" Yechen said as he threw a handwritten report on the coffee table, "There are only more than 500,000 people left in Newlun City?" ”

Sitting across from Yechen was Saguna. After a period of mutual understanding, Yechen unexpectedly discovered that Saguna has a talent for intelligence work, her mind is sharp and meticulous, and she is very good at extracting useful information from a lot of complicated intelligence, plus the thief profession does have a natural advantage in intelligence gathering, as the president of the thieves association, she has no shortage of available people. So, Yechen entrusted the intelligence work to Saguna.

After the Chinese New Year, Yechen placed an "order" with Sagunaer, hoping to find out the number of existing populations in Newun City.

"What, that's too little?"

"Shouldn't it?" Yechen leaned back on the sofa and said, "As far as I know, there has not been a large-scale riot in Newun City. ”

After the world changed, the town hall formed a temporary council, which quickly stabilized the social order of the densely populated old town. After the dissolution of the Provisional Parliament, various professional organizations, large and small, were set up, which objectively played a role in barely maintaining social order. While crime and carnage are everywhere in the city, there have been no large-scale civil riots – how could so many people have died? Before the world changed, the permanent population of Newun City was 4 million, and after a few months, it was only one-tenth of the original number?

"It's already pretty good." Saguna said in a reasonable tone, "At the beginning, it was chaotic for a while, and then all kinds of insects came out, how many people died after being bitten by mosquitoes, and finally waited until winter, the insects couldn't stand it, they all died, and people couldn't stand it either, and in the coldest days, a large number of people had to freeze to death every night...... Tossing up to now, it would be nice to have a population of four or five hundred thousand. ”

"Okay, okay." Yechen was a little helpless.

No matter what form of society it is, people are the foundation, and without this foundation, many things cannot be accomplished. According to Yechen's previous thoughts, she estimated that about a million people would survive this winter, but she didn't expect that there was only so little left.

"On the bright side, this winter has finally passed, and when spring comes, the weather will slowly warm up." Yechen muttered, his eyes a little empty, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Don't worry about the country and the people, think about yourself first." Sagunar couldn't help but remind.

"Me? What's wrong with me? Yechen said a little lazily.

"You don't care much about the development of the Wizarding Association, I heard that your Wizarding Association has only a dozen people in total, which is too little." Speaking of this, Sagunar sighed softly and said, "How can such a small person support a professional association?" Some people say that you don't live up to your name. ”

"Who? Who did you hear that? Yechen showed a smiling expression.

Saguna glanced at Yechen and said, "What do you want?" ”

"I didn't plan what to do." Yechen sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and said, "Tell me, who cares so much about me?" ”

Under Yechen's constant questioning, Saguna had no choice but to say, "Okay, I heard from a professional organization called the 'Black Iron Association' at a party. ”

"What kind of background are they?" Yechen asked.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Sagunar was a little uneasy.

"What else can you do?" Yechen smiled slightly and said, "It's just a matter of killing chickens and monkeys." ”

"Just because they said a few words about you behind their backs...... Isn't that a bad word? Sagunar said strangely, "I didn't expect your heart to be so small. ”

Yechen smiled slightly and said, "Didn't I say it, this is to kill chickens and monkeys, the main purpose is to kill monkeys, as for which chicken to kill, it doesn't matter, just pick a random target." ”

"Monkeys? You're going to scare ......," Saguna lost in thought, combing through her thoughts.

The so-called killing of chickens and monkeys is actually a show of strength, and it is a show of strength to a potential enemy of similar strength. There aren't many organizations that can be seen as potential opponents by Yechen.

"Fire Run or Bob?" Sagunar asked.

"What do you think?" Yechen threw the question back.

Saguna said directly: "I think it's Huorun." ”

Bob's basic plate is in the old city, and he has nothing to do with them, but Huorun, and Yechen belong to the same new city, although they belong to the same professional league, but in fact, this alliance has a weak ability to restrain members. Isn't it uncommon for there to be internal strife? Don't forget, on the night of the official establishment of the Professional Alliance, Yechen and Huo Run designed to get rid of Shen Qian, and the Druid Guild was a member of the Professional Alliance at that time.

From the beginning of the alliance to the present, Yechen and Huorun have never stopped fighting for dominance. The two sides won and lost each other, and they paid great attention to the means, and there was no excess, which could barely be called a healthy competition.

Since it is a healthy competition, of course, it cannot be directly confronted, which is not good for the development of the entire professional league.

If it is said that Huo Run is too restless and has the intention of confronting Ye Chen, then Ye Chen chooses a chicken to kill and scare Huo Run.

Yechen nodded and said, "Yes, it's indeed Huorun. ”

What kind of conflict was going on between Yechen and Huorun, Saguna didn't know, and she didn't plan to know, she just asked, "Do you have any plans?" ”

"What else do you need to plan, just go over and smash the door."

This was Yechen's answer to Saguna, and she did the same.

It was still night, and at two o'clock, Yechen was already standing outside the courtyard wall of the Black Iron Association. But this time she wasn't going to make a move, at least not in the first place.

According to the information provided by Sagunaer, the Black Iron Society is not a large professional organization, and their president is only a second-level warrior, and the only special thing is that he also has a "blacksmith" life profession.

Compared to being a chef, the life profession of a blacksmith seems to be more practical. So far, the delicacies made by Yechen, a chef, are cheaper than a few of them, and if they are blacksmiths, they can completely build some weapons and sell them to professionals who are in a hurry to level up.

In any case, no matter how useful it is, it will not be beneficial to the improvement of combat effectiveness, so the destruction of this Black Iron Association is doomed, and there will be no waves.

"Let's get started." Ye Chen said to the injured rain and Hypatia next to him.

This time, Wounded Rain was in charge of charging into battle, Hypatia was in charge of remote command, and as for Yechen, standing by and watching, she didn't have much to do.

The current Wizards Guild has only thirteen members, except for Yechen and Hypatia. You must know that there are more than forty members of the Black Iron Association in front of you. After the dissolution of the Provisional Council, in order to ensure their own safety, many professionals chose to join professional organizations, and all professional organizations were greatly expanded.

In comparison, the Wizards Guild only has such a small number of people, which does look quite pitiful, no wonder someone is talking behind their backs.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't even matter if the Black Iron Association has arranged a night or not, just like she said to Saguna'er, her original plan was to find a random professional organization and destroy it, so as to achieve the effect of killing chickens.

"Don't worry!" Hypatia smiled confidently and said, "I won't let you down." ”

Hypatia had confidence in herself, as well as in the thirteen wizards she had hand-picked.

During this time, Yechen has been researching ingredients, and he has not taken much care of the affairs of the Wizarding Association, and has entrusted everything to Hypatia, and sometimes Hurt Rain will choose to help.

Since you let yourself sit in the Lord, then do what you want, and Hypatia thinks so and does so. In fact, the Wizards Association recruited many wizards during this time, but in the end, only these thirteen survived, and the others became Hypatia's experimental materials.

Finally, to confirm, Hurt Rain took thirteen wizards and quietly touched the Black Iron Association.

It's a pity that Sagunar didn't come, and there were no thieves to help clear the sentry, and they were just close to the wall when they were unfortunate enough to be discovered.

In an instant, a sneak attack turned into a strong attack. Hurt Yu pulled out a good knife and slashed directly at a member of the Black Iron Association.

The speed of the wound rain was very fast, and the guy didn't seem to fully react before he was slashed off by the wound rain.

Hurt Rain kicked the headless corpse aside, greeted, and continued the fight, or slaughter.

The thirteen wizards who followed behind the rain let out a few howls and rushed in.

In a head-on confrontation between two organizations, momentum is important. The French profession may be more destructive, and it is indeed not suitable for charging. If no one is in front of you, it is easy for a pure legal professional to collapse.

Yechen summoned Serena, sat on it sideways, and said, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

As soon as he approached the Black Iron Association, Yechen smelled a pungent smell of blood. What's going on with this guy? Why is there so much blood?

Yechen frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more, everyone has their own familiar fighting style, there is no need to learn from others to do it, and even if you learn, you may not be able to learn it well.

The station of the Black Iron Association is located in a hotel. It was a big hotel, spacious in front and back, and a small yard in the back.

Finally, to confirm, Hurt Rain took thirteen wizards and quietly touched the Black Iron Association.
