Chapter 249: Assassination Plan
"So...... Tell me about the mage's assembly first. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
After accidentally forming an alliance with the gangster "Raven", Benjamin withdrew his hand, put away his smile, and returned to the purpose of his visit.
"The Mage Gathering is an evening party for the mages in Riley City to communicate with each other. Jessica explained, "It was initiated by Mr. Finch, a well-known mage in the city, and you can see the address on the invitation, which is one of his villas in Riley. ”
Benjamin nodded and said, "What else?"
"I'm not a mage, and I don't know anything else. Jessica spread her hands and said, "But Mr. Finch is famous, and one of the greatest mages in the area. I tried my best to get this invitation, but I just wanted to sneak into the party and win over the mage. But now, I don't need it anymore. ”
Hearing this, after thinking about it, Benjamin still put away the invitation.
Judging by Jessica's appearance, this mage gathering should not be a trap. Of course, just in case, he would inquire about the famous Vinci mage after he left. If everything is correct, then he doesn't have to worry.
Anyway, he was ready to go to the mage gathering.
In this way, the answer in his heart was confirmed, and half an hour later, he also left the place and walked down the streets of Riley City.
He spent this half an hour preliminarily discussing the way he and the "crow" cooperated. Jessica said she was willing to pay Benjamin twenty gold coins a month from now on. Benjamin felt a little less, but no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat, and he valued more help than money, so he didn't waste his tongue on bargaining.
Jessica also said that as "The Crow" grows, what she offers Benjamin will definitely become more.
Of course, Benjamin must help her grow in power in order to be rewarded.
I don't know why, but at this point, Benjamin has the feeling that he has become a shareholder of the gang by himself in the "Crow" - he has invested in it with his magical ability, and as long as the "Crow" makes money, he can get dividends.
It's also quite interesting.
That is, the more he can offer, the greater his stake in the "crow" will be. If one day, this gang has to rely on Benjamin's magical abilities to exist, Benjamin "divests", and "Crow" falls, then Benjamin will become the owner of "Crow" in the true sense of the word, become its chairman, and Jessica will be reduced to the general manager who does things for him.
Suddenly, some cunning thoughts popped up......
Still, after thinking about it, Benjamin didn't decide to actually do it.
The current "crows" are a gangster group with a bit of power, bullying and bullying the poor every day and collecting protection money. Such an existence, Benjamin didn't bother to bother to embezzle it. Besides, he doesn't have any ill feelings towards Jessica, so there's no need to do things so badly.
So, in the end, he didn't raise any objections.
And before Benjamin left, Jessica also put forward the first need to help the development of "Crow" - to kill people.
"A few blocks further east from here, there is a force called the 'Eagles', which is our sworn enemy. Jessica said slowly, "Their leader was once my father's men. A few years ago, that guy killed my father, rebelled against us, and gathered a lot of people, often clashing with us. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin thought for a while and said, "You want me to destroy them?"
Jessica shook her head and said, "How is that possible, there are more than three hundred of them in total, and there are many hidden strongholds, so it is difficult to kill them all." Besides, I don't want them all to die, as long as their gang breaks down, I can absorb a lot of people into us. ”
Benjamin nodded suddenly.
It was he who took it for granted, and professional things were left to professionals. Jessica is very experienced in this, he is a shareholder, just help, there is no need to interfere in her decision-making.
"And what do you want me to do?" he asked.
"Kill Johnny, the leader of the Eagles, the guy who killed my father. Jessica's voice sounded rational and peaceful, and there was no hint of hatred, "As long as he is dead, I will spread some more rumors, and under our slow erosion, the streets they once occupied will be ours." ”
Benjamin also agreed: "No problem." ”
Jessica sorted out the relevant information and handed it to Benjamin, and marked some of the places where Johnny used to haunting. Benjamin told the system to memorize the stuff and left the place.
He walked back to the inn.
There is such a thing as murder, but I am not in a hurry for a while. The location of the other party is unknown, and he can't expose himself when he does it - this kind of cooperation must be hidden, not easily exposed, otherwise it may cause other mages to intervene.
And Benjamin doesn't have to go it alone - he also has a group of fellow mages.
He didn't say this when he negotiated with Jessica.
Back at the inn, he found a few spare mages and went out to inquire about the Vinci mage. Soon, the results of the inquiry came out, and what Jessica said was really not a lie.
This Finch mage is a middle-aged mage with high morality, who is said to have a very high attainment in potions, and is considered to be a relatively amiable among mages. As a result, he is not only famous among mages, but he is also very popular with mercenaries.
In Riley City, there is a special potions shop, and the owner of the shop is the Vinci mage. Of course, the shop was also the largest potion shop in the city, selling potions at low prices, and sometimes auctioning off some of his finest potions, which were highly sought after by elite mercenaries.
With such a shop, the wealth of this Vinci mage is naturally incomparable. I heard that he was very generous, and often helped some poor mages and held mage gatherings, which was also his private act.
According to his own account, since the empire was divided, the mages had become aloof and unwilling to trust others since the empire split and the mage guild leader betrayed everyone and followed the queen of Ikor. He held the assembly in the hope of connecting everyone's feelings, so that the mages would not be left in a situation where they would be in a separate battle one day.
Benjamin couldn't help but sigh that this Finch mage was such a good person.
So, with the invitation in hand, he is still looking forward to next week's rally. Of course, what he was looking forward to more was whether he could get more potion recipes and books from this amazing potion mage to increase the productivity of his team.
Let's hope he's as generous as he says.
After inquiring about the news, Benjamin also told the mages to go back to the inn and meditate. Later, he began to prepare for the assassination of Johnny himself.
After thinking about it, he ran to find the thief Will again.
- After all, it was his first time as an Assassin, and he needed some professional help. Will even dares to steal a mage with keen mental power, and the skill points should be good,
Thieves and assassins are only in different directions, but their essence is the same. From him, Benjamin should be able to get a lot of help.
So, following the route of the systematic retelling, he came to the house again.
