"Karijie of Mushan, you are still as domineering as ever!" said Sylvia to the old man as if she had seen an old acquaintance after Oga left.

"I am very honored to be praised by the Earl. The old man smiled, saluted Sylvia, then turned to Leo, and said, "Your Excellency is Mr. Leo Dodd, isn't it? I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet you, but I did not expect to wait so long to meet you." ”

"Hello. Leo replied very succinctly and blandly.

At this time, Sylvia took the initiative to introduce on the side: "This is Mr. Karij, the chief butler of the Kuifan family. ”

"A human becoming the Great Steward of the Blood Clan?" Leo asked, stunned and unable to help but be curious.

Perhaps because many people have asked for similar things before, the old man Karijie quickly gave an answer, saying: "I grew up in the Kuifan family when I was very young, and the Kuifan family regarded me as family, and when I grew up, I gave up the opportunity to take the surname Kuifan, and the Kuifan family didn't want me to be exiled and suffer, so they arranged for me to become the family's housekeeper, and I have been working until today." ”

Although the old man's tone was very flat, and the content of his words was very simple, Leo didn't really look at this old man so simply, the old man was able to form an absolute suppression of that Oga Quinine, relying on more than just his identity, not to mention anything else, the energy fluctuations on the other party's body that were very close to the fifth-level psionic were enough to show that the other party's true strength was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"Presumably, the purpose of the old man's visit here this time should also be clear!" Instead of acting in a businesslike manner, Karijay lowered his posture and said to Leo and Sylvia, "I hope you two can tell me truthfully what happened there, without any additions or deletions." ”

Sylvia took the initiative to take over the negotiation with the other party and said, "Of course I can tell you, but telling you like this is too cheap for you, you must know that the secret contained in this matter is worth a lot of money!"

Karijie smiled and said, "Of course, as long as the information is true, our Kuifan family will definitely not be stingy in paying enough compensation. ”

Sylvia emphasized, "Can you call the shots? ”

Karijie replied with great affirmation: "This is not a problem, I can control most of the items in the Kuifan family's collection. ”

Seeing this, Sylvia didn't say anything more, and turned to Leo and nodded.

Although he didn't specifically talk about what kind of reward there would be, Leo felt that the Kuifan family should not be stingy with this reward, so he didn't add anything, and carefully recounted what happened before, even the fact that he let Yilan leave.

During the narration, Steward Carige interrupted Leo's words from time to time, inserting some questions, such as the form of the monster, the form of the rift, the concentration of the dense fog, etc., trying to make everything detailed.

Leo didn't show any impatience, he not only answered the other party's inquiries seriously, but also added some of his own guesses, and later he took out the energy block and handed it to Karijie.

This made Sylvia complain afterwards, because in her opinion, it was enough to tell Karijah the truth about this and the secrets hidden in the ruins, and there was no need to take out the energy block at all.

It's just that Leo doesn't see it that way, he always thinks that there is something wrong with that energy block, but he doesn't know where the problem is, and now he can get rid of this trouble by handing it over to Carijie.

Before Carijay left, in a pleading tone, let Sylvia and Leo stay in Moonlight City for two days, and wait for him to confirm everything before handing them the payout.

Leo and Sylvia did not object to this, and they also stayed in the hotel for the past two days, not going out, trying to avoid causing trouble.

Although Moonlight City seems to be calm during the day, at night, you can feel an undercurrent enveloping Moonlight City.

The curfew that has never existed in Moonlight City is the harbinger of this undercurrent, and the successive house collapse accidents in two days can be said to be the follow-up, as for the most striking is the closure of the Moonlight City, that is, the only hill king church in Yasha County, which is definitely a big event for the slums of Moonlight City.

For the average person, these three things are nothing more than separate things that are not connected, but for Leo and Sylvia, these three things are actually one thing.

Moonlight's curfew was actually to make room for the night battle, and the collapse of the house was a side effect of the cult leader's battle with St. Phosis, the king of the hill, and the cult leader disappeared, and Moonlight City completely drove the church of the Hill King out of Moonlight City without violating the agreement of the year, and the expulsion from Yasha County was the result of this small upheaval.

However, both Leo and Sylvia believe that the departure of the Church of the Hill Kings is not the end of this Dark Tide upheaval, and they both feel that this should be just the beginning.

On the third day, Carij, the chief butler of the Quivan family, arrived at the hotel with a reward and handed over the things to Leo and Sylvia.

There is no doubt that Karijie is careful about the reward, for example, the item he gave to Sylvia is a set of exquisite jewelry, if it is only jewelry, this thing is obviously of limited value, but this jewelry is also a set of strange things specially created by wizards for witches, and her role is to assist witches in controlling the power in their bodies.

This set of jewelry is also very famous in the witch group, and there are three sets of similar jewelry, all of which are in the hands of other witches, and this set of witch jewelry may be the only set of witches who are outstanding.

After Sylvia got this set of jewelry, she couldn't wait to try the effect, and the result was naturally extremely satisfied, her control of the power in her body became a lot stronger, and after using the ability, the wasted power was also a lot less, the same ability she could only use three times before, but now she can use it five times, and the effect has improved significantly.

On the other hand, the reward that Carrijie prepared for Leo was not bad at all, he gave a wizard's notebook, which was not written by the wizard of the tower, but by a very special wizard, this wizard is called Barton, also known as the battle wizard.

In the Wizard's Tower in Death Valley, Leo saw a book that recorded the deeds of well-known wizards, which mentioned the wizard Barton, because there were other more important books to read at that time, so Leo didn't read the book carefully, just looked through it casually, and about this Barton wizard, he only remembered two things, one is that this wizard Barton is a wandering wizard, and the second is that the wizard Barton is very strong in actual combat.

When Carrij took out the notebook, Leo had already discovered that this notebook was not only a book about Barton's witchcraft, but also a wizarding curiosity, because it gave Leo a similar feeling to the crystallized magic book in the storage space, and the complex Turing roots on the cover of the note fully showed its practicality.

It's a pity that this notebook is damaged, there is a crack in the notebook, directly through the notebook, judging from the shape and size of the rift and other details, it should be a knight's sword of the church, in the crack of the rift, there are some blood stains that have long dried up, it seems that this wizard Barton should have been injured in the battle with the church, as for whether he is dead, it is unknown.

Although the notes are a little damaged, the pages inside are made of very special animal skin paper, which is very tough, even if it is pierced by the sword, it does not cause much damage to it, and the handwriting is still clearly visible if it is pieced together by the sword.

The contents of this notebook do not involve any powerful witchcraft, and there are only four complete witchcrafts recorded in it, all of which are the most basic witchcraft, even the wizards in the wizards' guild should have mastered these basic witchcraft.

Most of the notes are used by Wizard Barton for some of the techniques used by the wizard, which in Leo's opinion are somewhat similar to psionic techniques, but some of the ideas are the same as Leo's own thoughts when using psionic or other sorcery, so the book is far more valuable to him than a wizard's book of wizards in the Tower.

One thing that is more important is that this book is a wizarding curiosity that he can decipher, and he can find out the secrets of making wizarding wonders from this book to make his own witchcraft book.

"We are very satisfied with both of these payments. Sylvia nodded at Leo and then said to Carrij.

"I'm happy to be able to keep both of you happy. Carrij replied with a smile, then his expression became serious again, and said, "In addition, I hope that the two of you can leave Moonlight City immediately today, and leave Yasha County within five days." ”

"Old Karijah, are you giving me an order on behalf of the Quivan family?" Sylvia said as she looked at Karijah coldly.

"No, not an order, just a kind reminder. Carij replied flatly, and before Sylvia could ask, he turned and left the room.

After Carrijah left, Sylvia turned to look at Leo and asked, "It looks like the Quivan family is clearing." ”

Leo also nodded in agreement with Sylvia's reasoning, and asked suspiciously, "What exactly does the Quevan family want to do? Is it just to prepare for the settlement of the internal strife within the blood clan?

"What if the auction is bait?" Sylvia said with a possibility.

"If it's bait, then whom?" asked Leo rhetorically.

Both of them were lost in thought, because if this guess was to be calculated, it seemed that many people were in favor of this condition, including Leo himself.

"Don't think about it, we didn't have the idea of interfering in this matter in the first place, and now the Kuifan family's approach is just in line with our wishes, isn't it?" Leo said with an indifferent expression.

Sylvia pursed her lips and said, "That being said, one is that we left on our own, and the other was driven away, which is always a little unpleasant to think about. ”

In fact, in the past two days, they have already been ready to leave, and their bags are ready, even if Karijie doesn't say that sentence in the end, they will leave after getting paid again, but what Karijie said makes the meaning of leaving different.

"Let's go!" Leo didn't worry about whether to be chased away or leave on his own, he was more concerned about his next destination, in the mountains at the junction of Daliat and Mares, where the real Tower Wizard Wizard Tower was.

The two left the room with their bags, went down to the hotel, got into the carriage arranged by the hotel, and went to the Red Leaf Manor on the outskirts of Moonlight City.

As they left, both Leo and Sylvia clearly felt watched, apparently the Bloodclan was making sure they had left, and that sense of surveillance didn't disappear until the carriage left the city of Moonlight.

The Red Leaf Manor on the outskirts of Moonlight City was originally the property of the Blood Clan, but after the Witch Clan saved the Clan and made some agreements with the Clan, the Clan gave this manor to the Witch Clan.

After getting this manor, because it was too close to Moonlight City, the Witch Group had no intention of setting up this place as a station, but only transformed the house and other things according to their wishes, and turned it into a summer manor shared by the Witch Group, and every once in a while, there would be witches who would come here for vacation.

Sylvia came here by airship, and she stored the airship in the Red Leaf Manor, both because of the secluded environment here, and because of the witch group's own manpower.

In the past, the witch group fought alone, so when the church hunted witches, even if the witches of the witch group robbed the church with their strength, most of them died under the siege of the hunters.

And the witch also thought about forming her own manpower force, but at that time, most of the people who could be won over by the witch were some disgraceful dependents, cultists, etc., which also made the witch's reputation even more notorious, and it was difficult to recruit useful people.

It wasn't until the church was weak, the power of the noble kingdom became stronger, and the witches began to make friends with the noble forces and integrate into the nobles, which made the situation of the witches better.

Although it is still a little difficult to recruit people directly, it is not a problem to cultivate them by themselves, so each witch will cultivate loyal subordinates according to their own economic strength.

The people of Red Leaf Manor are the people cultivated by Saran, the king of choice, and these people are already the third and fourth generations, their fathers and ancestors are all Saran's subordinates, and their loyalty is more reliable than the servant families of those big nobles, and because Saran spares no effort to cultivate, these people are also very strong, almost every one of them can be comparable to the knights of the church, and some are even more extraordinary.

In normal times, these people will be arranged by Saran in the property of several witch groups in the Maris Kingdom to standby, and they will be transferred to other places when there is something, Red Leaf Manor because it is in Yasha County, the church power is the weakest, and the agreement with the blood clan makes this the first choice for Saran to settle his subordinates, according to statistics, there are at least 70 people here who are Salan's carefully cultivated subordinates.
