In a cellar in the city, an oil lamp was brighter than usual.

A simple square wooden table, facing east, west, north and south, sat four hooded oak mask men.

None of the four of them could see the expressions under each other's oak masks, but they all felt the solemnity of their moods.

"This time, the one from the Maple Leaf Manor exposed a lot of things, the third-level spatial water magic 'teleportation', and there are no spells and particularly obvious gestures to assist in casting, although I can't confirm the specific level of mastery of the third-level magic of 'teleportation', that is at least to the extent that he is very good at it. The oak-masked man sitting on the east side of the table spoke slowly.

"Hiss! hiss!"

A gasp came from behind the other three oak masks.

"A high-level water mage who is very good at 'teleportation', I think that the level of the one in Maple Leaf Manor needs to be carefully considered, and at the same time, for his news, it is necessary to carry out a more advanced blockade. The oak-masked man on the east side continued.

After his words fell, the other three all nodded their heads and stretched out their hands to speak, "Agreed." ”

"Does the level of the Grand Chamber of Commerce need to be downgraded?" said the oak-masked man sitting directly north.

"From Ian Gran before to Hunter Gran now, the one in Maple Leaf Manor obviously won't have a good impression of the Gran Chamber of Commerce anymore, and Hunter Gran died at the hands of that one. The oak-masked man in the north continued.

"Isn't it too cautious to downgrade the level of the Grand Chamber of Commerce because of the one from the Maple Leaf Manor?" said the man on the west side of the table with some hesitation.

"I agree with this suggestion, the Grand Chamber of Commerce doesn't realize what kind of existence they have provoked, and judging from the current situation, this hatred has been formed, unless the Grand Chamber of Commerce can completely swallow this breath and actively resolve it, otherwise once they try to make some stupid counterattacks against the one in Maple Leaf Manor, I don't think the Grand Chamber of Commerce can take any advantage from that person. The oak-masked man sitting on the east side spoke slowly, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

"I agree. The masked man on the south side spoke in support.

"Since you all think so, then I agree. The man from the west nodded in agreement.

"It was unanimously approved, and then I will report this report. The man in the oak mask to the north said.

The others nodded.

"One thing, it's about elves, there's a group of elves in Carroston, and it's not known why they're here, but I think it's important to pay special attention to this matter and investigate further. ”

"Agreed. Several people nodded their heads.

"So that's it for today, the situation has been a little uncertain lately, so be cautious. The light is above!"

"The light is above!"

"The light is above!"

"The light is above!"

Carroston Interior Hall.

Although it was already night, the interior hall was still brightly lit, and there were many people sitting at the long table, discussing something fiercely.

"Knight Egger, I want you to give us an explanation!" a man in a gray collar angrily slapped the table at Egger.

Egg gave him a cold look and didn't speak.

"As a knight, you watched five civilians have their hands and feet broken and did nothing, and you didn't even stop them, allowing them to have their hands and feet broken! And the five of them have been seriously injured and their palms have been cut off! I want to question you on behalf of the Grand Chamber of Commerce and their families. If you don't give us a reasonable explanation, we'll go to the Imperial Capital and protest to the Holy Knightly Court. The man was unusually angry and kept demanding.

"Are you sure you can represent the Grand Chamber of Commerce? As far as I know, the chief director of the Grand Chamber of Commerce in Carouston City is Mr. Pine, not you. I'm right, Mr. Rayleigh. Pato, behind Knight Egger, looked at Rayleigh with disdain and sneered.

"One more thing, I'll give you a piece of advice, Mr. Rayleigh, it's best to think about how to explain to Master Li Xuan why his apprentice, Master Lilian, was tied up in your warehouse by your men. Pato continued.

Apparently Pato's words had a little effect, and Rayleigh's angry expression couldn't help but soften, and he sat down with an angry face and said, "Explain, explain what?, we're victims too!"

Pato snorted and said, "It's useless for you to tell us, and it won't solve anything. ”

"Okay Pato, don't say a word. Egg said slowly with a calm face.

This incident made Egger very angry, a chamber of commerce director, with the chamber of commerce guards, attacked and kidnapped a resident magician in the empire! and he couldn't understand why Hunter Gran wanted to kidnap Lilian, but no matter what, they all paid the price.

Hearing Egger's words, Pato withdrew her smile and stood quietly behind him with the hilt of her sword, no longer speaking.

Viscount Orin, the city lord sitting on the throne of the long table, clapped his hands, focused everyone's attention and gaze, and said, "We need to sort out a few things in this matter first. ”

"The first is why Hunter Gran and his party attacked and kidnapped Mage Lilian. Rayleigh, there are many witnesses to this matter, they all saw Hunter Gran and his party following in the market, and then kidnapped Mage Lillian outside the market, how can the Gran Chamber of Commerce explain this?" Orin spoke, his voice slow and loud, his tone calm and powerful.

Director Rayleigh's face was ugly, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "This matter is Hunter's own private act, and has nothing to do with the Grand Chamber of Commerce. ”

Orin smiled and said to him again: "Then the second thing is, regarding your accusations against Master Li Xuan, when we arrived at the scene, the five guards of the Gran Chamber of Commerce were already seriously injured, and the injuries were obviously not traces of magic, they were sharp blades cutting off the palms, and the wounds on the corpse of Hunter Gran were also sword wounds. In this case, Master Li Xuan has not violated any of the rules for magicians, and we have no right to make accusations. ”

"Finally, with regard to your accusation that Master Li Xuan ordered him to break the hands and feet of the five guards, we accept the accusations made by the Grand Chamber of Commerce against Master Li Xuan. The Interior Department discussed and arbitrated the matter, and sentenced Master Li Xuan to compensate each of the five guards with 500 gold coins. For this punishment, Master Li Xuan's agent, that is, Mr. Boris, the butler of Maple Leaf Manor, accepted this sentence, and I have just received news that these five guards of the Grand Chamber of Commerce have also accepted this sentence. Orin looked at Rayleigh slowly, his tone very calm.

Hearing Orin's words, Rayleigh blushed and opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say a word.
