The warm breeze and the warm afternoon sun bring people a lazy sleep.

On Sudbury Street, Lucien, dressed in a new outfit, is being led by Leo to Valentin's hidden house.

Leo, who regained his strength, showed his good camouflage skills, not only allowing Lucien to change the Holm-style black double-breasted gown into a typical Shahran-style brown-red tight jacket, white tight breeches and black boots, but also using his hair to apply oil to the hair and comb it back neatly, and the bridge of the nose under the shadow of the foundation to raise the bridge of the nose in disguise made Lucien look several years more mature, coupled with his well-grown mustache, the whole person looked like a calm and majestic gentleman of twenty-seven or eighteen.

Lucien and Leo took the opportunity to vigilantly weave through the crowd to prevent being followed, after all, it was no secret that Duke Vladimir sent assassins to assassinate Valentin, and if someone found out that the two of them were in contact with Valentin, it was easy to think of forging a fake identity.

Although the city of Sudbury Valley is not small, half the size of Alto, but the buildings are unplanned and built at will, so the streets are narrow, crowded and chaotic, but in this environment, Leo is like a fish in water, and he is very adaptable to taking Lucien to use the cover of pedestrians and houses to continuously change directions and streets, and get rid of any possible tracking.

Half an hour later, Lucien and Leo came out of a quiet and cold alley and returned to the busiest intersection of Sudbury City and walked into a grocery store.

Ignoring the suspicions of the grocery store owner, Leo walked directly to the staircase, and suddenly stood out in the shadows to block two men with meaty faces like butchers.

"Griffons over the Negnin River. Leo whispered something inexplicable in Shahland's Chinese dialect.

Hearing this, the two big men relaxed their guard, and after carefully looking at them a few times, they signaled that Leo and Lucien could go up.

Walking up the narrow and wobbly staircase to the second floor, Lucien immediately sensed that there was a dangerous magic array around him. They seem to have been deliberately exposed to deter those who seek them, and whether there are other hidden magic arrays hidden in the shadows will have to be carefully examined to find out.

"It is worthy of being a nobleman who can compete with the current Duke of Vladimir for the right to inherit. Even if he escaped to the eastern exile, he could have arranged such a big deal. Lucien judged that the strength of the magic array here was equivalent to Bertrand Castle, and it was worth at least tens of thousands of gold tales.

This Mr. Valentin seems to have fled with plenty of wealth and a certain strength to protect them. That's why I was able to invite a mid-level mage to decorate this place.

Leather shoes creaked against the floor that seemed to be in disrepair, and only Lucien and Leo walked side by side in the cold and quiet aisle.

The two quickly walked outside a house in the middle of the second floor. Leo knocked respectfully on the door: "Mr. Valentin, I'm Leo, and I've brought you a deal." ”

"Come in. Valengin, who had already confirmed Leo's identity through the magic array, replied in a flat tone, his voice old and tired, with a strong feeling of bitterness.

Leo pushed open the door like a butler and stretched out his hand to motion, "Mr. X, please come in." ”

Lucien smiled and stried. I saw that the window on the opposite side was tightly covered by a thick black curtain, and only a little light came through.

This left the whole house in a gloomy and gloomy darkness.

In the shadows in front of the curtains, there was a desk and chair, and there sat a man in a black night dress with his back to Lucien and Leo.

As Leo stepped in and gently closed the door, the man in the shadows turned his chair. Look at the two of them head-on.

His golden hair began to dull and thin, and his appearance was well-defined, stiff and rugged, with a clear hint of aging. Although it is not clear how old he is, Lucien judged that he was at least sixty years old, because according to Leo's description, when he first fled to the Eastern Exile, Valengin was a fourth-level knight, and after twenty or thirty years of dormancy, no one knew whether his strength had improved or stagnated.

Valentin looked at Lucien and Leo with his pale blue slightly cloudy eyes, and then said, "Pour a cup of tea for the two guests." What business are you going to do?"

Suddenly, without warning, a well-dressed and meticulous old man walked out of the shadows, bowed slightly politely, and then went to the nearby pantry to prepare black tea for Lucien and Leo.

Leo, acting as Lucien's guide and temporary butler, replied in his place: "Mr. Valentin, my employer wants to enter the Shahran Empire, so he needs a false identity. ”

"Do you want to disguise someone from the Vladimir family?" "Valentin is not a fool, if he fakes his identity to find his head, then it can only be related to the Vladimir family, otherwise ordinary citizen status, etc., there are professional counterfeiters in the Eastern Exile.

When he said this, Valentin's eyes became sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts, staring at Lucien, so Lucian had to speak in person: "Yes, Mr. Valentin, I need the identity of a side member of the Vladimir family, which will help me pass the checkpoints and fortresses and avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble." Excuse me, how much money do I have to pay to get you to agree?"

After a few seconds of silence, Valentin suddenly laughed: "If you have the strength to help me kill Ilyich, then I won't accept you for a single copper coin." But if you have this level of strength, there's no need to come to me to create a fake identity. ”

Ilyich is the name of this generation of Grand Duke Vladimir.

After a pause, Valentin took out a cigar from a drawer, struck a match and lit it.

He watched the gray-white smoke slowly come out, and said slowly: "The more you do this kind of fake identity, the easier it is to be discovered, so in the past twenty years, I have only made six copies, and the price is very expensive, requiring five hundred gold tales or the equivalent of Shahran gold coins, if you can't come up with so much money, you can consider doing something for me." ”

Although he was able to apply for compensation after returning to the Magic Council for the large amount of money spent on the mission, Lucien only had the equivalent of a hundred gold tales of gold, gems, etc., and the rest had long since been exchanged for magic potions, materials, and utensils in the Wizard's Hut.

After weighing it for a while, Lucien smiled gently: "I choose to pay money, but I don't have so much on me, I wonder if you can accept magic items, Mr. Valentin?"

Even if Valentin's affairs were simple, there might be a danger of getting involved in his feud with Grand Duke Vladimir, so there was no way to do it. Lucien would never choose to do things for him.

"It's a pity. Valentin said in a calm tone, "Mr. X, you can pay for magic items." I'm here to assess the price fairly. It is one of the best in the entire Eastern Exile. ”

A magic item can effectively improve the strength of knights and magicians, and for Valentin, who needs to strengthen his subordinates to protect himself, this is much better than paying money directly, after all, except for the headquarters of the Magic Council. In most places, magical items have no price.

Lucien pulls out the debilitating dagger from Ronsang Aaron: "This is a second-level magic weapon......"

With Valentin's gentle cough, an old man with a hooked nose dressed in an ancient Magic Empire-style robe emerged from the shadows on the other side. He first glanced at Lucien with a cold look, then grabbed it with his right hand and let the dagger fly into his hand.

"Ancient Inheritance Magician......" Lucien thoughtfully judged from the changes in the mental force field generated by his magic.

The silver-haired old man said after identification: "The second-level mid-level enchanted dagger can corrode other people's weapons, and the wounds of those who are scratched by it are difficult to heal, and the mental strength, physical strength, and vitality pass together, and they quickly weaken. Because there are no excessive use requirements. Therefore, it is estimated at three hundred and eighty gold talers, but given the premium caused by the scarcity of magic items, it will take about four hundred and twenty gold talers to buy. ”

"If I count by three hundred and eighty gold tales, Mr. X, you will definitely look for another buyer and exchange it for gold coins before coming to me. Therefore let it be estimated at four hundred and twenty quintals. Valentin said bluntly. He didn't have the intention of activating the magic array to rob Lucian, and this amount of money couldn't make him desperate, if the people of Duke Vladimir discovered this hideout because of the activation of the magic array, the loss would be ten or twenty times that of four hundred and twenty gold talers!

Hearing that the premium was so much, if it weren't for the fact that the Magic Council strictly controlled the sale of magic items, Lucien, who was obsessed with money, wanted to earn the difference back and forth, so he nodded, agreed with Valentin's conclusion, and then took out some materials that were not used for the time being and gold equivalent to thirty gold talers, and finally made up Valentin's request.

Valentin played with the dagger, took out a special Vladimir family paper, and began to write with the smell of ice and snow on his body.

As he wrote, he said to Lucian: "Peter Joseph Vladimir, whose father is Lord Joseph, the son of Grandpa Ilyich's youngest cousin. He has been dead for many years, and you are pretending to be his youngest son, Peter, who failed to inherit the title and disappeared after being secretly killed while smuggling in exile. ”

"You remember, Joseph was a stingy, drunkard, and rough man, while Ilyich was insidious, vicious, lustful, perverted, and disguised as a loving and peaceful ......"

Valentin talked little by little about the members of the Vladimir family, so that Lucian's role would not be easily exposed. It can be seen that he still has supporters within the Vladimir family, and even the personalities of several knights who have grown up in recent years, he knows everything about them.

............

Warren left the Taran Tavern and turned a long street, when the tall, muscular man beside him suddenly made a strange and difficult sound, and waves of magic rippled from him, causing the surrounding area to ripple as if it had sunk to the bottom of a lake.

He wasn't a knight, but an official magician!

Warren looked at the man with some surprise: "Mr. Real, you?"

"Master Warren, most magicians are insidious, and I'm afraid he's done something to us, or left a mark on us. Real opened his eyes and smiled, "But now it seems that he belongs to that small group." ”

Warren nodded with a dark expression, and then instructed the scaly swordsman next to him: "Use your resources to keep an eye on them secretly and see what they are going to do in the Eastern Exile Territory......"

He then returned to his Garden Villa in Sudbury Valley with Arolim, Real, and others.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, in Warren's study, his expression was distorted and hideous, and he asked urgently with joy, "Did Leo take that magician to find Valentin?"

"Yes, Master Warren. An ordinary middle-aged man who seemed to be a waiter smiled flatteringly.

After Valentin came to the Eastern Exile, although he was secretly hiding, how could he hide from Warren's father, a member of the Council of Lords, but he still had a great use value, and he might be able to get great benefits through him in the future competition for the title of the Vladimir family, so the big people in the Eastern Exile unanimously remained silent, pretending not to find him, and did not provide any clues to Duke Vladimir.

In this environment, Warren bribed one of Valentin's attendants on his father's behalf, secretly spying on him.

When Valentin's attendant left, Warren calmed down, looked out the window viciously and said with a smile: "Hire Leo and find Valentin to help...... Is this an attempt to use Valentin's power to enter the Shahran Empire? Is it to fake the identity of the Vladimir family, or to let Valentin introduce the nobles with whom he secretly has a very good relationship? Hmph, when you are sure that you really want to enter the Shahran Empire, I will write to tell those great nobles......"

He's not a vengeful man!(To be continued.) )
