Chapter 477: Strange
The moment Hilco appeared, Mantejou knew that trouble was coming. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This amazing mage who can teleport freely in the trade area of Blackpool City is the best disciple under the command of Chief Mage Heller, and is also the presiding officer of the daily affairs of Heller's Mage Tower, and the leader of the law enforcement team in the trade zone. Not only does it have the same strength and status as Gotha, but to some extent, it represents the will of His Excellency Heller. If Hilco catches the handle, not only will Manteqiu be in a lot of trouble, but it may also let Luo Sheng fall into the hands of the Heller family.
So as soon as he opened his mouth, Manteqiu did not hesitate to collude with the assassins and prevent the main mother Barbara from obtaining the big hat of the moon stone, and obsessively buckled it on Hilco's head. If Hilco really wants to make trouble, Mantejo will use this reason to make a big deal and hold Hilco hostage in turn. After all, nominally, Chief Mage Heller is also subordinate to the Master Mother Barbara.
"Assassinating the Moonstone Merchant? That's a big deal. In that case, then you come with me back to the Mage Tower, explain the matter, and I will help you find the trace of the assassin. After taking a deep look at Luo Sheng, Hilkopi responded with a smile.
Although in theory, Barbara is the supreme ruler of Blackpool City, in practice, Heller has considerable autonomy in many ways. Especially in matters related to Heller's interests, Barbara can only exercise her rights after consulting with Heller. So as Heller's spokesperson, although Hilco didn't dare to be disrespectful to Barbara, he couldn't say how much he was in awe.
Especially in the recent stage, Barbara prayed and prepared for the sacrificial ceremony, temporarily loosening her control over Blackpool City, and the power in Hilco's hands vaguely expanded a lot. In this case, Mantejou's desire to directly scare away Hilt just by relying on Barbara's banner is simply unrealistic. In his words, although Hilco did not have a hard top Manteqiu, he obviously did not want to let go of the other party.
"This doesn't have to be. The Assassin can set up this kind of killing in the Trade Zone, and I don't believe it if there is no one to support it. To be on the safe side, it would be better for me to take Van Cleef back to the barracks. Manteqiu also responded with no yin or yang.
Although he didn't catch the assassin and didn't even get any useful clues, Manteqiu knew very well in his heart that the assassin was from Blackpool City, and it was even possible that he had a certain tacit understanding and connection with the Shilko in front of him. Otherwise, the two Gold-Rank masters would be able to do it in the trade zone, and Hilko, the Gold-Rank peak mage who was responsible for the law enforcement and security of the trade zone, could have rushed over earlier.
Therefore, for Hilco, Mantejou does not trust him at all, and it is impossible for him to follow the other party to the mage tower. After all, the deal between Lila and Luo Sheng has not really been completed at the moment, if Luo Sheng is allowed to enter the Mage Tower, and what means are used by Heller, the transaction may not necessarily develop well.
"Mantejou, I'm afraid it's not good for you to do this? In the trade area, there was an assassination incident, and there were dead people, and you left without saying a word, did you think that the rules set by His Excellency Heller were waste paper?" Hilko shook the staff in his hand and said coldly.
"Your Excellency Heller's rules are for the sake of maintaining order in the trade zone, not for you, a disciple, to fiddle with at will. If I don't go today, are you still going to forcibly take me away? It also depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Mante Qiu's eyes were slightly small, and he said in the same cold voice.
Although in terms of personal strength, Manteqiu is definitely not the opponent of a gold-level peak mage like Hilco, but as one of the most powerful assassins in Blackpool City, Manteqiu is still a few confident in his ability to escape and sneak. Really tearing his face, Mantejou was absolutely sure that he would escape from Hilco and go back to move the rescuers.
"Mantjou, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to force you to come with me, I just wanted to talk to this Mr. Van Cleeff and find out about the situation. After all, this kind of thing has happened, and I, as the person in charge of the security of the trade zone, always know about the situation. And speaking of which, it was Mr. Van Cleeff who was assassinated, and it should be up to Mr. Van Cleeff to decide whether or not he would like to go to the Mage Tower with me and provide some clues to track down the assassin. Hilco said lightly.
"Mr. Van Cleef, would you like to talk to me at the Mage Tower?" After dealing with Mantejou, without waiting for the other party to speak, Hilco turned his gaze to Rasheng and asked with a smile.
Although according to rumors, Rasheng has reached a trade agreement with Lira and has confirmed that he will not trade with anyone else, but all parties are not really dead. After all, before a large number of Yuelan Stones were actually handed over to Barbara, there were still uncertainties.
In this case, Hilco naturally wanted to find an opportunity to contact Luo Sheng, even if he couldn't make Luo Sheng change his mind, he could learn more about the details of the transaction and collect relevant information. And this information will be very valuable in the future, whether it is used by one's own side in its own operations or sold to people of other factions.
"Since Master Hilco has spoken, then I am naturally willing to talk to the master. Looking at Hilco, who was smiling at himself at this time, Luo Sheng responded with a smile on his face, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he was slightly surprised.
This Hilco, Luo Sheng actually recognized. In his previous life, when he was in Blackpool City, Luo Sheng and Hilko had dealt with each other a lot, and the two sides were quite familiar. It's just that at that time, Hilco's identity was not Heller's disciple, but an important face of the main mother Bella, who took care of Bella's work such as recruiting strong foreign aid, and his profession was not a mage, but a legendary-level 'Shadow Demon Network Apostle'.
To be honest, among the betrayed dark elves, it is not uncommon for someone like Hilco to go from being the core of one faction to the top of another. Especially after Bella took over the power, Hilco betrayed his teacher and took refuge in Bella's door for the sake of power and interests, which is not an incomprehensible thing. It's just that in this case, Luo Sheng will not have the slightest difference.
But Hilco's transformation from a mage to a legendary-level 'Shadow Demon Network Apostle' is very strange. You must know that the profession of Shadow Demon Web Apostle is a legendary profession specially prepared for the evil gods of the Shadow and Dark Realms such as the Spider Queen, Shar and other evil gods who master the shadows and dark realms, and has not made enough contributions to the Spider Queen, greatly pleasing the Spider Queen, without the full support of the master and mother level sacrifices, it is impossible to succeed in this profession. And Hilco, a core disciple of Heller's sect, used what kind of feats to please Queen Spider in exchange for Bella's full support, it is worth pondering.
"Okay! Let's go!"
