Kuira's appearance was somewhat unexpected to the crow, but it was also reasonable. After all, whoever Rao is in charge of watching over Qili will probably leave a little means on her to prevent this too free young witch from doing something earth-shattering, such as trying to provoke a gray-robed mage. However, for Coola at this point, it wasn't all bad for Kiri to be caught by the Cursed Crow, as she had a way to talk to the wizard without risking her life. As for the lives and deaths of Kiri and Pegg, although the deaths of the two young witches, especially Kiri, would greatly reduce her evaluation among the witches, compared to the benefits she was promised, it did not seem to be an unacceptable outcome if their deaths could guarantee the crow's withdrawal from the war.

"And how do you answer my question, Lady Coola?" the crow leaned into his chair with some relaxation, but those who knew him well knew that the more casual the gloomy wizard's posture was, the more vigilant he was.

The witch smiled, and her body slowly relaxed, and Kiri folded her legs gracefully, a movement she would never have been able to do under normal circumstances. "Truth be told, we're witches from Heartbreaker and the rulers of that little harbor city. "Naturally, what Kuyla said was humble, and it was not unheard of by the Raven of Heartbreaker, the famous lawless city on the east coast of the entire continent, and it was said that as long as you could afford it, you could buy almost anything there, provided you had the strength to keep your pockets. Spellcasters had always wondered what it would take to keep such a chaotic city running, and now it seemed that the answer was surprisingly simple.

"I see, I beg my forgiveness for being rude, there is no way to entertain you with the same etiquette as a lord. The sorcerer laughed, "But, with all due respect, why would the ruler of Heartbreaker come to such a remote kingdom, and why should he get involved in such an unpleasant strife?"

"I'm afraid the answer is the same as yours, dear Mr. Mage. How could a grey-robed mage who had obtained an emblem like you be interested in what was going on here? These hillbillies don't understand your greatness, but I know how loud the name of the Cursed Raven is in the shadows, and I don't think there's anything worth your hands on. But family, we can't let go of our family, can we?" the witch easily revealed the identity of the cursed crow, which made the wizard's evaluation of the other party a little higher, but on the surface he deliberately showed a little surprise, as if he was surprised by the fact that his name was pierced. And the word family made the sorcerer understand that the other party must be aware of the existence of cheese, and even that they had already dealt with their own classmates. However, the other party obviously did not understand the delicate relationship between the apprentices of the Gray Tower, and the family, if it wasn't for the negotiation, the Cursed Crow would just want to laugh out loud now.

"You've overdone it, Ms. Cooira. I just got this badge from my teacher by luck. As for the topic of family, you are right, the reason I'm here is really to take care of, well, a fellow disciple. Sounds like you've already met him, right?"

Seeing that the wizard did not deny her statement, the witch's heart was secretly relieved. Very good, it seems that this cursed crow and the gray-robed wizard of the royal capital are indeed acting together, so as long as he convinces the person in front of him, there is a great chance that the other party will stop protecting Aemia's mother and daughter. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. "Of course, I have to say that he impressed me. Unfortunately, we seem to have had some minor misunderstanding with that gentleman. Now that I have met you today, I hope to use your mouth to bridge the gap between us. ”

"Oh?" Raven raised an eyebrow, as if intrigued by the witch's words, "that's funny. Looks like your family is with my one?"

Seeing this, Kuyla hastened to say, "Yes, they have deceived the gray-robed with some lies, and this has made me very distressed. But you see, we don't want to go against you or any of the Grey Mages, so it would be great if you could do so. ”

The corners of the sorcerer's mouth were raised, and it felt like a lion aiming at its prey, "In that case, we might as well make it clearer." It is true that my companions and I have no need to do our best for this mortal kingdom, and in fact, the purpose for which we are here has been achieved. As for what happens to the country after that, it has nothing to do with us. Your hope that we will not meddle in the affairs of this place is acceptable to me personally. But at what cost?"

The witch was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the cursed crow to perceive the purpose of her words so quickly, and to say it directly. But this is not bad, she doesn't want to waste more words with the other party, but for the reward that the other party asks, a little bargaining is still necessary. So she pretended to think for a few seconds and said, "Well... Don't know what you're hoping for, as long as you can afford it, we'll do our best to accommodate you. ”

"Don't be too nervous, ma'am. The wizard said, "I have no idea of worldly money and treasures, which I can get at any time if I want them." Spellcasters like you and me, we all know what a real treasure is, don't we? Knowledge, knowledge is priceless, so if you want me to leave, you just need to bring out something I haven't seen before. Once my little curiosity has been satisfied, I will leave. And if I had to give any example, like, I mean, for example, the stock solution of the rat-man plague, I'm interested in it. ”

The crow could see the corners of the other's eyes twitch a few times, and he wanted this effect. The price code proposed by himself is undoubtedly a risky move, which is likely to directly sting the opponent's bottom line, resulting in the failure of all previous hypothetical attachments. But the Raven still had to make this request, and he had to know what role the Heartless Witches had played in this plague, whether they were the initiators of the plague, or just another pawn to be used, and he had to know the answer.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Raven, but I can't accommodate your request. The rat-man plague was not made by us, and I am afraid that I will not be able to provide its original solution. Why don't you change the price to another one?" The witch had an embarrassed smile on her face, she really didn't expect that what the wizard wanted was actually the original solution of the plague.

"Oh, that's right. Forget it, just because I didn't say it. The other party's performance made the crow see through the truth, and he instantly lost interest in the witch who called himself Kuira, so he deliberately showed a rather strong expression of disappointment on his face, and at this time, Lin happened to bring a plate of dishes to the table, and the enchanter took advantage of the situation and said, "Although I would love to continue the conversation with you, you can also see that it is dinner time." So unfortunately, our conversation will have to wait until the next time. ”

After the cursed crow's words, before the witch could react, his eyes burst into a violent burst of magic, and under the light of this magic power, the magic that Kuyla had applied to Qili was destroyed in an instant, leaving the young witch sitting in her chair blankly, not understanding what she had just discovered. With that done, the sorcerer picked up the knife and fork in front of him and enjoyed his dinner as if nothing had happened.
