Chapter 13 The doppelganger has skills
Everyone in the bar watched in awe as Ryan and his team left with Oz's team. They knew that the Twin Axe Mercenary Regiment, which was in full swing in Seabreeze City, would be removed from the list from today, not to mention that their reputation had been greatly hit, just the Twin Axe Mercenaries who were lying on the floor and moaning all over the bar would take at least one or two months to recover, and with such a long time, it would be enough for other mercenary groups to divide and devour the interests of the Twin Axe Mercenary Group.
After Ryan walked away, many mercenaries paid the bills, and then left in a hurry, what happened here today was enough to change the strength of the entire Seabreeze City, especially Ryan and his party, who defeated the Double Axe Mercenary Group, had a close relationship with Oz, the new captain of the Wind Mercenary Group, which had to cause the worries of other mercenary group insightful people. If Ryan and his party join forces with the Tempest Mercenary Group and are determined to annex or expel other mercenary groups, then the entire Seabreeze City's pattern will undergo huge unimaginable changes, and for the mercenary groups in a weak position, once this change appears, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The second largest mercenary group in Seabreeze City, Moses of the Sword and Rose Mercenary Group, and the other three also left in a hurry, and they had to gather their members as quickly as possible to avoid a sudden blow from the Wind Mercenary Group. There were not a few people who had this idea, so when Moses and the three of them walked to the intersection of the dock area and the business district, they were stopped by Anselle, the deputy head of the Rock Mercenary Regiment, who was hurrying from behind.
After a few brief conversations, Moses asked Nigel and Nancy to return to the mercenary group's station, while he walked in the other direction as the deputy head of Sword and Rose and the deputy leader of the Rock Mercenary Regiment, the fourth largest mercenary group in Seabreeze City, Ansel, and that direction happened to be the headquarters of the Rock Mercenary Group.
All this was seen by the middle-aged man dressed as a magic apprentice in the "First Drink" bar, the man who was over 40 years old and was only a magic apprentice, as if he didn't know what it meant for Moses and Anse El to meet in such a hurry, and he left the docks and walked straight into the business district.
The middle-aged man dressed as a magic apprentice walked slowly, because he was wearing the robe of a magic apprentice, so the road was safe, no one wanted to provoke a magician, even if it was just a future magician, so the man walked smoothly into an ordinary-looking grocery store.
There are dozens of shops selling groceries in the commercial area of Sea Breeze City, and their business is driven by the ships docked at the dock.
There were no other clerks in the grocery store, only the owner of the store, an obese man sitting on a chair, perhaps because of the dismal business, this boss didn't even hire helpers, so he relied on himself to make a living, and now there is no business to come to the door, so naturally he dozed off.
When the magic apprentice walked into the shop, the chubby boss woke up suddenly, and he was about to stand up to greet him, but he found that the man in his 40s walked in with his left hand on his thigh, and stretched out his index finger and middle finger to make a strange gesture, the boss was slightly stunned, and then immediately sat back, and sat back on the chair as if no one was around.
The apprentice continued, lifting the curtain on the interior door of the grocery store and heading straight into the backyard. It was the place where the boss and his family rested, and under normal circumstances, outsiders would not be allowed to come and go at will, but until the figure of the magic apprentice disappeared in front of the eyes of the fat grocery store owner, he still did not squeak, but just stared out the door vigilantly.
The apprentice pushed open the door to the bedroom, and in the middle of the bedroom, the wife of the grocery store owner was mending her husband's clothes, and the apprentice walked straight to the large bed in the bedroom.
The magic apprentice didn't take off his shoes, he stepped on the bed, he stretched out his hand and pulled it a few times on the edge of the bed, there was a "crunch" sound from the inside of the bed, the bed board slowly parted a crack, and the magic apprentice did not hesitate to get in.
Under the bed was a passage for only one person to bend over, and the 30-year-old magic apprentice finally entered a secret room after walking dozens of meters. The chamber was small, barely able to fit three people, and the walls of the chamber were full of traces of the vicissitudes of time, and it looked like it had existed for hundreds of years.
When the magic apprentice walked in, he lit the torch in the secret room, and the fire gradually enlarged, illuminating the originally dark secret room, and the person who lit the torch actually looked exactly like the magic apprentice who had just entered the secret room.
The magic apprentice who had just walked into the secret room from the outside didn't care about the person who looked exactly like himself in front of him, he just took off his coat and threw it to the latter, and the magic apprentice who had been waiting in the secret room took the robe and put it on his body, and then this person tidied up his appearance a little, so that his appearance was no different from the magic apprentice who walked in from the outside before.
With all this done, the magic apprentice who had been waiting in the secret room in advance bowed respectfully to the magic apprentice who had entered the secret room from the outside, and then walked out along the passage where the magic apprentice had just entered the secret room from the outside.
The magic apprentice who took off his coat knew that his subordinate would go the same way, and then the subordinate would find an excuse to leave Seabreeze City, so that everything he had done before would be covered up, and even if someone noticed something, they would look at the unexpected place in Seabreeze City, because he had already "left".
The apprentice took off his coat and walked out of the chamber and down another passage. The passage was winding and rugged, with a torch on the wall every few dozen steps, and the flickering light showed him the way, and the apprentice magician who had taken off his coat walked all the way up, and walked for about a quarter of an hour to the end of the passage.
The apprentice magician, who had stripped off his coat, climbed out of the passage and followed the ladder, a dimly lit room filled with firewood. The apprentice magician, who had taken off his coat, pushed open the wooden door of the firewood room and walked straight out. The door opened, and it immediately made people's hearts refreshed, because there was a verdant green in front of them, although the time was already autumn, but the sea breeze city in the south had not yet drifted in autumn.
The apprentice magician, who had taken off his coat, was obviously very familiar with the place, and he walked directly through the two courtyards towards his room. Along the way, everyone who saw him turned a blind eye, as if the magic apprentice had blessed himself with an invisibility spell.
When the apprentice entered his room, he was greeted by two maids who had been waiting there, one carrying a plate of water, and the other with a wooden plate containing several strange things. The apprentice magician who had taken off his coat sat down in a chair, and then he picked up a towel-like object from a wooden plate and wiped it vigorously on his face, and the uneven pockmarks on his face disappeared without a trace.
The magic apprentice picked up a knife from the plate again, and slashed it against his face, the knife sank into the flesh, but there was no blood flowing out, the magic apprentice used the knife to carefully dig out his high-looking cheekbones, and threw them into the wooden plate, and then changed to another towel, moistened it with water, and wiped it vigorously on his face......
After a while, the appearance of this magic apprentice in his 40s completely changed, he was no longer the 40-year-old man with pockmarked face, vicissitudes of life, and melancholy eyes, but became a handsome and beautiful man between twenty-seven and eight years old.
After regaining his original appearance, Raphael took off his magic apprentice clothes, walked into a large wooden barrel next to him, and took a comfortable hot bath under the service of the maid. By the time Raphael got dressed and sat in his office, it had been three hours since Allendo had defeated the Twin Axe Mercenary Regiment.
Raphael sat leisurely in his chair, and a man stood in front of him respectfully and told him about the information he had gathered today. It took only 3 hours for Ryan and his party to defeat the Double Axe mercenary group in the "first glass of wine", but Raphael's men had already collected enough information, and almost every detail at that time was recorded clearly, and at the end of the information, they also used Ryan and his actions to imagine the enemy and plan various ways to deal with them.
The corner of Raphael's mouth smiled at the book handed over by his subordinates on how to deal with Ryan and his party, this is his additional requirements for his subordinates, Raphael is very strict with his subordinates, under his strict orders, Raphael's elites must not only collect intelligence, but also learn to analyze and process, which is also an important means for Raphael to cultivate talents, otherwise Raphael himself is capable, if he only relies on himself, he will be drowned in the vast amount of information.
However, this time Raphael's subordinates obviously did not do much to Raphael's satisfaction, in the intelligence analysis of Ryan and his party as imaginary enemies, Raphael's men completely underestimated Ryan's role, and only thought that he was just a magician, and suggested that using a soul-devouring "Hades" level killer would be enough to get rid of the other party.
