The black-robed mage silently left the black goblin bar, and as he walked out the door, he lifted the hat of his robe and put it on his head, so that his face was completely submerged in darkness, and then walked straight into a nearby alley. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the mixed port of Marani, there are many different races, and it is difficult for even the most unusual people to attract the attention of others here, and no one notices his existence.

After walking left and right in the dark alley for about ten minutes, the black-robed mage stopped at the mouth of another alley facing the street, where several gangsters were sitting around sharing food and drink, they were talking and laughing loudly, and passers-by avoided it when they saw it from afar.

Seeing the mage's presence, the ruffians stopped talking and laughing, their eyes showing wariness, and two of them reached their hands to their waists, where they usually concealed sharp daggers that could kill a person.

The mage stopped two or three meters away from them, he stretched out his left hand and swiped lightly in front of him, and a dark flame flashed out of thin air, and a scorpion pattern faintly appeared in the flames, and it was fleeting!

Seeing this flame, these four or five ruffians all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all got up and gathered around the mage, with a rather polite attitude.

The mage whispered a few words to them, and the ruffians quickly left, only to reappear half an hour later, bringing back the news that the mage wanted to know.

The mysterious black-robed mage disappeared into the darkness and reappeared in the vault of a small church in the city, reporting respectfully to another old and emaciated priest.

"My lord, I'm sure it's him, the enemy of our church!" the black-robed mage said categorically, pointing to his desk.

On the desk in front of him was a portrait of Han Fei.

"His name is Han Fei, he is the lord of the Tulip Collar on the outskirts of the Holy Jingdong of the Radiant Empire, and he should have just turned twenty years old this year!" The thin priest's voice was extremely low and hoarse, as if it had been transmitted from the Nine Shadows Abyss: "He is a Sky Warrior before he is twenty years old, and he is very likely to become a god-level powerhouse in the future. ”

"Such a figure has dealt the most serious blow to the power of our Church in Shengjing, which can be called the most humiliating defeat in a hundred years, and the archbishop has ordered him to be killed, but the Shengjing Church must not have enough ability to deal with him, and I can't imagine that he has come all the way to Malani Harbor. ”

"Do you know what he's here for?"

"I've already inquired about some..."The black-robed mage said respectfully, "He came to Malani Harbor with the combined fleet of the Radiant Empire's Yanjing Shengjing Acropolis Izumo City Chamber of Commerce, and now the person who is drinking with him at the Black Goblin Bar is Menledney, the captain of the ship's flagship Goddess of Victory, neither of them has any retinue with him." ”

"Izumo City's combined fleet travels once a year to and from the Hankai Empire's southern port for long-distance trade, but I don't know exactly why this lord came here with the fleet. ”

"If it's just for trade, he doesn't need to come by himself..."The thin priest thought for a moment and said, "I guess he should have gone to the sea to train, as a high-ranking samurai, he can only improve his strength through continuous training." ”

"My lord, this is Malani Harbor, not the Radiant Empire or the Holy Capital, we might as well ..."The black-robed mage asked tentatively.

"Are you sure?" said the thin priest, shaking his head, "if we are not sure of victory, we must not expose ourselves, and although the reward offered by His Excellency the Archbishop is extremely impressive, we cannot repeat the mistakes of the Holy Church." ”

"However, according to the information I have received, our young lord is also blacklisted on the Alliance's side, so you can reveal his arrival in Malani Harbor to the other party? ”

A smug smile appeared on his zombie-like cold and ugly old face: "If they can succeed, then we can share part of the credit, and if they fail, it will be just a bit of a pain for those arrogant guys who are pointing fingers at us." ”

"Can the Alliance's forces here deal with this lord, he's a Sky Warrior!" the black-robed mage asked with a moment's hesitation.

"Then it's up to them, if they're scared, we'll just take advantage of the situation to complain to the archbishop, and..."The thin priest said suspiciously, "He must be going to sea with the fleet this time, we can send someone to inform the Sea Clan..."

"If you want to deal with an enemy, taking risks yourself is the best means, and using other people's hands and weapons to accomplish our goals is the best way, and we can see the excitement without any effort!"

"Your wisdom is enough to light up the starry sky," the black-robed priest bowed in convincingness.

"Go, if everything goes our way, you'll get what you want!" the wizened priest waved his hand, and the crystal lamp on the desk went out suddenly, and the entire study fell into a dark silence.

Only the thick breathing of the black-robed priest could be heard.

...... When the shadows of darkness return, the Black Leprechaun Bar in the heart of Port Malani is packed, and it is entering the busiest time of the day.

There was a madness in the air, hundreds of sailors, mercenaries, adventurers, merchants, wanderers... Gathered around the oak wine tables, they gulped down the frothy ale, and dried meat and fish were the best accompaniments.

On the small stage in the center of the bar, a dancer with a great surname is dancing to the accompaniment of music, and her exaggerated and seductive movements attract bursts of applause from the drinkers.

Captain Menledney finally relented, replaced himself with stronger rum and continued to drink freely, and he was in a state of being drunk - of course, only himself.

From his mouth, Han Fei knew that Cecilia, who had made a bet with him, was actually a princess of the Sea Clan.

Of course, the title of this princess is not as noble as the princess in the human country, the sea tribe is a collective name for the intelligent races living in the ocean and islands, mainly divided into the sea tribe and the land sea tribe, including the fish people, shark people, giant whale people and sea wing tribes, among which the fish people have the largest number, and they are divided into dozens of different sub-races and thousands of tribes, and the intricacies of the relationship between each other are even a little unclear to the sea tribe itself.

However, there are forces of the Sea Clan in every sea area, and the mainland merchants who live by the sea and rely on the sea to trade must first have a good relationship with the Sea Clan in order to survive, especially in the current situation where the relationship between the Terrans and the Sea Clan is quite tense, the attitude of the Sea Clan is very important to them.

Thousands of years ago, the first powerful under the starry sky, Emperor Yewu, founded the Continental Empire, which was extremely powerful, in order to prevent the empire from extending its ambitious tentacles to the ocean, all the Sea Clans united and signed an eternal covenant with the four races, the fleets of the four major races can pass freely within a hundred nautical miles from the coast, but they cannot cross this boundary without permission, otherwise the Sea Clan will have the right to attack freely.

This eternal covenant did not completely disappear with the collapse of the continental empire, in fact, the sea tribe has followed this covenant for thousands of years, and the continental tribes and the sea tribe often trade and do not invade each other, but due to the expansion of the power of the human race and the rampant slave hunting team for hundreds of years, the relationship between the human race and the sea tribe is quite bad, and the sea tribe often crosses the dividing line of the covenant into the channel to attack merchant ships.

However, the Sea Clan also has a certain trade need for the Terrans, coupled with the huge difference in the living environment, which makes the relationship between the two sides not go to war, and the attitudes of different Sea Clan forces towards the Terrans are also different.

Cecilia's Sea Tribe, the ruler of an archipelago more than a hundred nautical miles from Port Malani, controls hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the sea, and their attitude largely determines the fate of Port Malani.

Cecilia's identity is the daughter of a tribal patriarch under this sea clan power, and she was sent to Port Marani as a permanent representative, and she is not a person who is willing to be lonely, so she opened a black goblin bar here, not only to make money for her clan, but also to inquire about all aspects of the mainland through those bar girls.

It is precisely because of her special status that she is definitely a closely protected person in Port Malani, and no one dares to provoke her at all, which has created her current transcendent status.

"Amazing!" Han Fei couldn't help but nod in admiration.

A young and beautiful interracial woman can make a world here, although her identity plays the most crucial role, but her ability is beyond doubt.

"Miss Cecilia doesn't like to be called a princess, she's also a reasonable person, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out of this door today, even if you're a Sky Warrior," said Captain Menledney, his eyes hazy.

He poured two bottles of liquor in one go, and now he finally couldn't support it anymore, his eyes were straight and his tongue was curling, and his strong body was a little shaky.

I only heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the bearded captain was planted on the wine table.

Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head, thinking about it, he reached out and summoned two glamorous bar girls.

"Handsome samurai, do you have any orders?" The two girls' eyes lit up when they saw Han Fei's summons, and they immediately walked over.

"If you two can accompany my friends at night, I will be grateful..."Han Fei stuffed the two spirit crystal coins into each other's hands.

"Absolutely no problem!" The charmingly colored spirit crystal coins made the two girls suddenly brighten, and they hurriedly agreed, such a sum of money was enough for them to earn for a while.

Han Fei smiled and got up to leave the bar.
