The Sebaron family controls the economic lifeblood of Wildfire City.

One of the most important sources of foreign economic resources is Theron wine; Every year, large quantities of Theron wine are shipped from the port of Bantuo in the east to the Sea Salt Islands and then distributed to the south.

And these passenger ships will also bring enough food from the south.

This is the capital that Wildfire City relies on to survive.

Theron is not strictly a liquor, and although it has a sensational alcoholic effect, there is no alcohol in its composition, and it is said that there is no fermentation in the brewing process.

It's more like an alcoholic drink, and after drinking the Theron drink, ordinary people will have a very strong sense of pleasure, but their minds will become very clear, their minds will be very calm, and there will even be a feeling of being close to a god.

This thing is mildly addictive, but not that dependent, and although everyone likes the feeling of high concentration and high lucidity, they lose this feeling and don't have a strong withdrawal reaction.

At least for Wildfire City natives, Theron is a high-end luxury; Some of those hostile to the Sebaron family resented their practice of pricing local Theron at a much higher price than selling it to Southerners.

It is said that the mages of the Eastern Kingdoms are very fond of this kind of alcohol, and it is no wonder that drinks that can increase concentration and even intelligence in the short term, even if they are a little addictive, are also very popular among top students.

Every year, a number of ill-intentioned spellcasters try to steal the recipe for Theron.

But they all disappeared.

Sebaron's plantation has also received a number of visiting spellcasters, most of whom have left without causing trouble.

It is speculated that there is a powerful professional hidden in the Sebaron family.

But it also became a strange story at Cebaron Manor.

It has been said that none of the mages who visited the Sebaron family's plantation returned, but were all killed by Sebaron's men, and their bones were buried in the ground and turned into living corpses.

It is also said that there is a terrible demon on the plantation who must regularly consume the noble flesh and blood of the caster, and that the Sebaron family serves him, so he is exhausted by producing and dumping Theron wine cheaply.

Regardless, Cebaron's plantations are always veiled.

Even Sebaron insiders may not be eligible to enter the plantation; The whole production process is strictly divided into links, and local people who know the roots are recruited to work on time.

A lot of people don't even know what they're doing.

Every year, some of the native ice people disappear from the plantations, but they are all suppressed by the Sebaron family with a high appeasement fee.

All in all, the Cebaron family's plantations, like the Living Swamp, are forbidden places in the northern part of Wildfire City.

……

"Theron is delicious!"

Erin marveled, "I can't believe that such a delicious wine could come from the hands of demons, and I believe that these strange rumors are just made up by those hostile people of Sebaon to slander them." ”

"My mind is so clear right now that I can even deduce what's going on in your mind right now......"

Xu Nan frowned.

"You're the new lord of the city!"

Erin spoke amazingly.

There was a slight commotion on the side of the people.

"The appearance of the Sand people is rare in Wildfire City; If you are in a hurry to find out information and are very immature, it means that you used to be a pampered guy; Although you pretend to be a man, the phrase 'I don't like big breasts either' reveals that you are actually a girl......" Erin squinted her eyes and analyzed it word for word.

"They all said that you have a wilderness development order in your hand, so you will be the next lord of Wildfire City?"

"Am I right?"

Xu Nan was a little surprised.

He used some disguise to go out.

He had also identified before that Erin was just an ordinary woman with all qualities, without any professional abilities.

Such an ordinary person, after drinking two glasses of Theron wine, actually has a considerable degree of reasoning ability.

Even the words she subconsciously disguised were pulled out by her.

It can be seen that she looks floating, and her mind is indeed very calm and clear now.

Theron Wine ...... Is it really that powerful?

The Theron wine that Xu Nan drank that day may have been destroyed by poison, so he didn't feel anything.

"Lord of the city?"

Erin suddenly grabbed Xu Nan's hand: "Let's go to the back and talk." ”

After that, in the eyes of the others, she pulled Xu Nan and left the Green Dragon Tavern in a familiar way, and came to a remote alley.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Nan looked at her vigilantly.

"Nothing!" Erin booed, "Among those people just now, there were informants from the Blackwater Gang!" ”

"I have news that the Blackwater Gang seems to be going against you."

"It's safer here."

Xu Nan was quiet for a while, and in the alley next door, there was soon a sound of footsteps, and then left.

Seems to be looking for someone.

"Why do you want to help me?" Xu Nan asked.

"Because you invited me to drink!"

Erin grinned and said, "I'm just a faceless bastard, and the people who invite me to drink are all good people, let alone Theron wine!" ”

Xu Nan nodded and was about to leave.

Erin grabbed him, "When you become the lord of Wildfire City, can you make Theron wine cheaper?" ”

Xu Nan was surprised: "Are you addicted? ”

Erin laughed, "I just love the feeling of seeing everything; And after drinking, a lot of strange stories will be born in my head, and my dream is to become a playwright. After those two glasses, I suddenly figured out how to finish the script I had at hand. ”

And inspire?

This thing must be a big seller on the earth!

The Cebaron family guards such a gold mine, and how can it only be operated like this? Could it be that there is some hidden story behind it?

Xu Nan touched his chin.

"I can't say for sure; But I'll try to try. ”

Faced with Erin's thirst, Xu Nan could only answer vaguely.

"Okay, it's time for me to go."

Erin happily brushed her hair: "The next time we meet, I'll let you read my script!" ”

"By the way, Lord Castle, I'll tell you the last piece of information for free!"

"The Wild Pioneer Order in your hand may not be true; Really, hee-hee, in the mage tower of the Living Corpse Swamp! ”

With that, her figure disappeared into the alley.

He doesn't look like a very bad guy.

The popularity is also good locally.

Do you make a living purely by selling intelligence, and write scripts by the way?

"It's kind of interesting."

Xu Nan thought carefully about the conversation with Erin, and quietly returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

Bypassing those obvious surveillance eyeliners, Xu Nan happily returned to the room.

As a result, on his bed, there was a man sitting.

At that moment, Xu Nan's goosebumps rose:

"Three watches in the middle of the night, what are you doing in my bed?"

Gray looked nervous, he grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, and when he saw Xu Nan coming in, Huo Ran stood up:

"I inquired!"

Xu Nan's heart relaxed a little, and then he lifted it up again:

"What important information did you get in?"

Gray closed the door and said solemnly:

"I've found out the true whereabouts of the Wild Frontier Order!"

"It can't be in the swamp of living corpses in the northern ice fields, right?" Xu Nan replied casually.

Gray looked stunned: "How do you know? ”

"I have exact information, and all clues point to that mage tower!"

Xu Nan groaned:

"Speak slowly."

Gray pulled out an apple and nibbled on it, saying, "We've all been tricked." ”

"Behind this barbaric development order, there is the shadow of the Minister of State of the Eastern Kingdom and the royal family."

"The two Pioneer Orders are fake, in fact, the Savage Pioneer Order has never appeared, and it has been staying in that mage tower!"

Xu Nan gasped: "The royal family? ”

The Eastern Kingdom is the Kingdom of the Rhine, that is, the kingdom of the four princesses of Caesar under the Ice Wind.

How can all this have anything to do with the royal family again? Isn't Wildfire City a place that the royal family can't control?

Gray nibbled on the apple, straightened things out, and arrived.

……

It all started with the death of Sir Patton.

After Sir Barton's death, his followers searched through his relics, but could not find the Wild Frontier Decree that commanded Wildfire City; Since then, Wildfire City has gone to a fork in the road to the Borderless City.

As a follower, Sebaron jumped to his feet, relying on Theron wine, and gradually took control of Wildfire City.

But all this is very undesirable for the royal family.

The main war faction within the kingdom even wanted to attack the Efarian civilization in the north and open up more lands.

In some kind of political compromise, a conspiracy against Wildfire City was born.

Intelligence agents from the royal capital entered Wildfire City and spread the news that Sir Barton's Wild Frontier Order had been born; Then they sold the fake pioneer order to the second lady of the quicksand land, who offered the highest price - the background of the quicksand land was very satisfying to the politicians of the royal capital, just as Sebalon needed a puppet city lord, and so did the people of the royal capital.

But the people of Wildfire City were clearly misled. They believe that the Pioneer Order is genuine, so someone secretly kills the Second Miss in the Quicksand Lands and returns to Wildfire City to have the scavenger deliver it. Gray believes that the clues point to the Blackwater, who are also responsible for the poisoners.

But it doesn't matter.

The people of the royal capital and the people of the Sebalon family have reached some kind of tacit understanding, Wildfire City needs a city lord, and this person is naturally Xu Nan!

From this point of view, his position as the city lord is worry-free.

But the problem is that the copper order in the hands of the scavengers was also forged by the intelligence officers of the royal capital.

Barnes was also deceived, and when he found out that he couldn't open the castle lord's chest, he was furious.

Without the seal in the castle lord's treasure chest, there is no way to reorganize the town hall and various committees......

The people of the royal capital wanted to force them into this position, and then force them to continue to forge all documents.

In this way, not only did they achieve their goal, but they also became evidence-based for overthrowing the city lord in the future.

I have to say that these politicians are really vicious.

But here's the problem.

The people of the ice field still have their bottom line.

Even if the people of House Sebaron desperately needed a puppet city lord, they were reluctant to forge the contents of Sir Barton's treasure chest.

Things froze. Now it is said that the Sebaron family is very angry, and the royal capital is also putting pressure on the side, to the effect that if you don't get a city lord out of Wildfire City, they will send troops to attack.

This left Barnes in a dilemma.

Xu Nan doesn't care...... He's a soy sauce beater.

"I get the most out of it."

He rubbed his temples:

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, even if I become the city lord, we won't get any benefits."

Gray spat out the apple core, his eyes flickering:

"That's true."

"Unless...... We'll find the real Wild Frontier Order! ”

Xu Nan glanced at him and quickly understood his psychology.

This guy has already invested too much energy and planning in supporting himself to become the city lord, and if he can't get benefits after the fact, he is afraid that he will be very unwilling.

Give up now, and everything you did before will be in vain; In terms of financial management, the sunk cost is a bit high.

So he began to gravitate towards some dangerous options.

For example, to get that real Wild Frontier Order.

"My friend at Castle Mithril sent me a message, and I just received it."

Gray took out the second apple and began to nibble:

"He went to the knowledge hall of Castle Mithril for me to check the information and found some old things."

"When Sir Barton was in his ascendancy, he had a mysterious mage follower by his side; That is, the owner of the mage tower in the swamp of living corpses! ”

"The mage saw Sir Barton once before his death, and then departed, supposedly wandering from place to place, and his whereabouts were never known again; Sir Patton must have given him the Order of Wilderness Frontier. ”

"And according to my friend's speculation, there is a nine-in-a-nine chance that the Wild Frontier Order is in that mage tower!"

His eyes were already starting to glow.

"As long as we get the real development order, the city lord of Wildfire City is ours!"

"The people of Sebaron must pledge their allegiance to us unconditionally, and we can rest assured of the temperament of the Ice Plains."

Xu Nan frowned:

"The Mage Tower or something, it's too dangerous."

"I'm not going!"

Gray sneered: "I didn't let you go, you just live obediently." ”

"I'll go by myself!"

"But I want more money to get afterwards!"

Xu Nan was silent.

He was calculating the pros and cons and the veracity of Gray's information.

To be honest, it's not very bizarre that a high-level mercenary like Gray can have friends in a knowledge sanctuary like Castle Mithril.

In the knowledge hall of Castle Mithril, it seems not surprising that there are records of Sir Barton and the mage.

What Xu Nan cared about was what kind of strength the owner of that mage tower had!

Is he still alive?

You know, trespassing on a mage tower with a master basically doesn't know how to die!

"Do you have any information about the mage?"

Xu Nan spoke slowly, breaking the stiff atmosphere.

Gray spat out the third Apple core:

"There's not a lot of information."

"There's only one name."

"It seems to be called...... Jules. Emerson ......"

Xu Nan showed a thoughtful look.

This name is a little familiar.
