Chapter 247: The Boss of the "Crow".
There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to choosing a place where they can live for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first is to be cheap, Benjamin is not yet rich enough to squander casually. Secondly, he prefers areas with few people, shoots the first bird, and it is appropriate to keep a low profile. In the end, he had to make sure that there was a lot of space for everyone to practice magic.
This is a relatively demanding requirement, but fortunately, due to the particularity of Riley City, it didn't take much effort for him to find the place he wanted.
The house in front of me used to be a fairly large handicraft workshop, but in the competition of several workshops, it was slandered by rivals, haunted, cursed, and all kinds of rumors, and the business of the workshop gradually declined. In desperation, the owner of the workshop had no choice but to sell it at a low price and sell it to someone else as a warehouse. As a result, it didn't take long for another fire to be lost here, and people believed the rumors even more, and they didn't dare to put the goods here.
In the end, the owner sold it to a group of mercenaries at a particularly low price. After the mercenary group moved in, this kind of thing didn't happen again, but rumors have been entrenched in people's hearts. Therefore, this group of mercenaries is also slowly alienated by others, and their lives are not going to be good.
Benjamin does not believe in rumors, and the so-called "bad luck" does not affect him. In his opinion, this is a cheap and spacious house that will become a safe haven for them in the future.
After some negotiation with the head of the household, Benjamin finally bought the house with a huge capacity and its own back garden for the price of one hundred and twenty gold coins.
After the transaction was completed, the mercenaries still had to sort out their things, so they agreed to hand over the house in two days. Benjamin paid the deposit, took the note, and left satisfied.
Later, he also went to a shop that sold Warcraft materials, bought some potion materials, brought them back to the inn, and gave them to the two potion mages in the team to use.
As for new recipes or something, it's not something that is easy to get hold of.
From Will, he also learned that in Freden, mage-related books were still not something that would be freely sold in the store. If you want to acquire relevant knowledge, you have to start with other mages, or rather...... Mage Freemasonry.
There wasn't much information about the Mage Freemasonry. All they knew was that there was an organization that had influence in both Fredon and Carretus, but rarely showed its head. More detailed things, at their level, are obviously also incomprehensible.
In fact, in the country of Fredon, mage is a mystical profession.
But...... Aren't mages supposed to be mysterious?
Benjamin feels like he's going to be driven crazy by the different countries here.
After a busy day, he could finally get a good rest after returning to the hotel. For the rest of the day, apart from going out to eat, Benjamin basically spent the rest of his time meditating. Soon, the time entered the night, and he lay down in his bed, slowly falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, Wallis took a few mages and sold them with the potions he had made during this time. As for Benjamin, this morning, he also went out by himself.
With that black feather in hand, he went to what was said to be the stronghold of the gangster "Crow".
If you want to confirm the authenticity of the invitation, you must start here. And for him, this gathering of mages is very important. Therefore, he had no choice but to find the door.
Truth be told, he wasn't worried about putting himself in danger. The so-called gangsters here are just a slightly more powerful gangster group, in the middle and lower classes of the entire city, and there is nothing they can do about him.
The boss of the "crow" wants to have a relationship with the mage, but in fact, he just hopes to increase his influence through this kind of action. From another point of view, the power of mages is something they can't fight, so they pursue it.
More than half an hour later, Benjamin came to a remote street. Following the system's instructions, he walked over to a door and knocked on it.
With a creak, the door was opened a crack. After thinking about it, Benjamin took out the black feather that was used as a token and passed it through the crack in the door.
There was silence behind the door.
Benjamin wasn't in a hurry either. In the Water Elemental Perception Method, he had long known that after the person behind the door got the feather, his face was full of surprise, and he even didn't know what to do. He forgot to invite Benjamin in, and scrambled backwards, as if trying to inform their boss.
So, after waiting for a while, Benjamin simply pushed open the door himself and walked in.
Walking through the dimly lit hallway, he met a group of people at the top of the staircase. When the group saw him, they were obviously stunned for a moment, but the little brother who was guarding the door still recognized him and opened his mouth respectfully.
"Master Mage, why did you come in on your own?"
Benjamin shrugged his shoulders, looked at the big man at the head, and said, "You are the boss of the 'crow'?"
Hearing this, Dahan shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry. Our boss is in another place, I'll take you to meet the boss, and please don't be angry. ”
Benjamin nodded, not surprised. It's a relatively big gang in Riley City, and it's certain that he's always cunning.
Then the men took Benjamin upstairs and opened the secret passage of the wardrobe in a certain room. They passed through a deep secret passage, and after more than ten minutes, they came to a place that resembled a back garden.
The whole garden is small but well kept. Benjamin came out of the dimly lit passageway, feeling the scent of flowers, the gentle wind, and the warm sunshine. This surprised him a little.
Are the gang bosses of these years all taking the literary route?
Full of desire to vomit, he soon found the only figure in this garden.
Dressed in a delicate blue dress with an apron to prevent staining, she was half-crouched, holding a small kettle in her hand, and she was watering a bush of roses in a slow motion.
It was a slightly aristocratic girl, with curly brown hair tied into a ponytail, but on her head she wore a straw hat to block the sun. A few butterflies fluttered in the flowers around her, and a few crows were perched on the lawn at her feet.
At the same time that Benjamin noticed her, she also noticed Benjamin, who had just come out of the secret passage.
Suddenly, she stood up with some surprise, faced them, reached out and pulled the brim of her hat, tilted her head, and smiled quietly.
Several big men walked over, bowed to her, and shouted respectfully, "Boss." ”
