In the past six months, even if the two sides are no longer engaged in a head-on conflict, there is no shortage of daily surveillance, whether it is the Southern Alliance or Reinado, they are always paying attention to the whereabouts of the enemy's apprentice-level professionals.

However, Cagiso and the others obviously underestimated Reinado's determination and the profits that the trade license could bring, and seeing that the enemy had no intention of reducing their power, after a period of silence, the nobles of the Southern Alliance, who regarded money as their fate, gradually became a little unable to sit still.

In the eyes of the aristocracy, they came to Teresa City to seek more wealth, and if they kept being as fools as they are now, it would be completely incompatible with gold.

After several internal discussions, the nobles decided to strike again, and this time they decided to invest a lot of manpower in it, compared to the previous few small fights, and they decided to give Reinado's forces a heavy blow.

After much deliberation, Cagiso decided to borrow a special magical item from a friend in the Kingdom of Connery, and use its power to avoid Reinaldo's eyes and ears, as well as send men on an assassination mission.

The list of missions was quickly finalized, and as the leader of the project, Cagiso's henchman, Amanda Garceth, was given temporary access to the magical item.

Unfortunately, the series of accidents that followed happened too quickly, and before the nobles of the Southern Alliance could react, Amanda died at the hands of Sean, and the precious magical item was lost, no matter how much they searched around with their mental power, they didn't get any results.

……

When the people of the Southern Alliance walked out of the small alley, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became very tense, and the eyes of both sides crossed in the air, but no one continued to speak.

Reinaldo and Sean stood in place alone, and there was a Galil with a broken leg on the side, but despite this, there was no nervous look on their faces, as if the seven apprentice-level professionals and a large number of elite soldiers on the opposite side were not worth mentioning in their eyes.

"Earl Scott, Amanda's sword and mirror have been taken by that guy, and I saw him put things in the house over there, and it seems that he used some kind of ritual magic to cover his tracks."

Just as the air in the vicinity was getting more and more solid, the mage among the three men in black suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of Sean's house, turned his head to Cagiso and said.

"Good, I see."

Cagiso nodded slightly, not saying anything more, he continued to look at Sean, observing the young mage who always made his hated scalp tingle.

……

"Alright, Cagiso, just say what you want, don't always act like your dead parents, it's annoying to look at."

Before Sean could react, Reinado on the side couldn't help it at first, a mocking look appeared on his face, and he opened his mouth to say a word in front of the other party.

"Or are you unconvinced? Want to fight again? It's okay, I'm standing here, as long as I get rid of the ***, everything is under your control, right?"

"Oh, by the way, this sword seems to be yours too, I have to say that this thing is still quite useful, if it does, maybe you will have a chance to taste what it is like to be slashed by it."

Reinado sneered and put away the longbow in his hand, then pulled out the Calust short-handled decapitation sword hanging beside him, and pulled a sword flower in the air, pointing straight at Caguiso's face.

"Reinado, it's true that I planted it this time, but you don't have to be too complacent, sooner or later, you will regret being our enemy."

It's just that Cagiso's cultivation seems to be quite good, even if he is humiliated by Reinado like this, he shows no signs of anger.

"Anything is risky, since Amanda is dead, then I can't change anything, but the two things on his body are not his personal property, but the magic items I temporarily lent him for use, I don't know if Lord Morton can return it to its original owner, I express my sincere gratitude to you in advance."

Under the gaze of everyone, the old fellow Cagiso said a lot

Shamelessly, his expression was extremely sincere, as if his suggestion was taken for granted.

……

Before that, Sean knew that Amanda was Cagiso's subordinate, and he had even heard of the origin of the longsword in the other party's hand, which was said to be a temporary replacement for Cajiso's short-handled decapitation sword after losing it, in order to settle some of the terms of the contract.

Although it was not clear what kind of deal there was between the two of them, since the things had already reached his hands, there was still a reason to let them out casually, so Sean didn't want to deal with the other party at all, but used his mental power to casually sweep the guards and soldiers who came from afar, as well as the surrounding apprentice-level professionals who arrived at the same time as Reinado.

These apprentice-level professionals did not show their faces, but all of them were hidden in the dark, but everyone present understood their existence, and it was precisely because of this that the guys from the Southern Alliance did not act rashly, but just surrounded the three of them without saying a word.

After a while, seeing that Sean was still expressionless, Cagiso was not embarrassed, and after a pause of a few seconds, he sighed and spoke again.

"Okay, in that case, then I won't play with you, give me that mirror, and I will immediately compensate you with 50,000 gold coins, and promise that no one will ever come near your house again, and I will not do anything to you in any form, how about it?"

Compared to the previous child's playful begging behavior, the conditions offered by Cagiso are now somewhat meaningful, but after thinking about it for a while, Sean still does not intend to agree to this exchange.

As an alchemy mage, Sean certainly doesn't lack wealth in terms of wealth, and if he still had a thirst for gold coins before the completion of the Reincarnation Staff, he doesn't need this universal currency so much now.

What's more, although the current reincarnation staff is not very perfect, it still has no problem at all to use it in the apprentice-level stage.

Even if Sean wants to further upgrade it, he will only start from the aspect of life energy and death energy, as for this choice to spend a lot of gold coins to buy rare materials, and use this method to increase the already high al-spell aether adsorption base, although it can form a large increase in the effect of the staff, but in fact, the cost performance is very low, which is not at all in line with Sean's expectations.

On top of that, the mirror itself wasn't an ordinary magical artifact, and although he wasn't highly accomplished in this area, judging from the runes and energy circuits burned in the mirror, it seemed to possess some very peculiar prophecy abilities.

……

"Nice offer, but, I decline."

Sean played with the Abyssal Blade in his hand, then gave Cajiso a strange smile, "I don't know exactly what that mirror is for, but now that it's in my hands, it's not so easy for you to get it back."

"After all, the grudge between us is not small, even if you don't care about the loss of the Calust short-handled decapitation sword, but now that I have killed Amanda Garcés with my own hands, you must have hated me to death in your heart, right? How could I possibly take advantage?"

"What's more, although the Southern Alliance is not small, you can only represent yourself, so this kind of commitment is not at all insignificant to me, even without your participation, my threat will not be much less."

"Oh, by the way, I think you'll remember that I'm an alchemy mage, maybe you're betting that I don't know much about magical objects, but unfortunately, according to my judgment, that mirror should be worth much more than 50,000 gold coins."

In the midst of Cagiso's ugly face, Sean casually put away the dagger without looking at him again.

"Okay, now that everything is settled, what are you doing here? Do you want me to treat you to a cup of tea?"

"I don't have any intention of inviting the enemy into my home, if you're really interested in something, take it yourself, but I can't guarantee you'll leave safely."

With a slight tap on his staff, Sean amplified his voice with mana and shouted a few words to the Southern Alliance guys again.

Although his words were not very polite, but Nan

After a few glances at each other, the nobles and apprentice-level professionals of the Ministry Alliance still made the choice to retreat.

After all, Reinado's soldiers and guards were already surrounding them outside at the moment, and even the high-level combat power of the two sides was almost not different, so what was the use of staying here? Is it true that there is really going to be a fight?

No kidding!

The matter of whether they can win the battle will be put aside for a moment, now that this group of noble lords have appeared in person, they really want to fight their anger, and the few alchemy props they carry alone may not be able to ensure their safety.

Therefore, after a few orders to retreat, the nervous-looking privates and guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they skillfully reorganized the procession, and sent a few men to carry Amanda's body away from the scene.

Reinado and Sean didn't stop them, but stood aside and watched them leave, and the apprentice-level professionals who hurried with the ordinary soldiers showed disdainful smiles when they learned what had happened, as if they were mocking the Southern Alliance's humiliating operation.

……

Seeing that all the enemies were retreating, Sean and Reinado's expressions also relaxed, and as several footsteps sounded, several apprentice-level professionals who were very familiar to Sean appeared beside the two of them, smiling and greeting them a few times.

Among them, a mage unleashed several spells on Galil who was lying nearby, helping him stop the wound from worsening and removing the toxins from his body by the way.

It's a pity that there is no way to recover the broken right leg, and under the premise that the limb is completely destroyed, it is not easy for a trainee-level professional to want to be reborn with a severed limb.

"Thank you, brother."

With a grateful look, Galil stood up on one leg and patted the mage on the shoulder, apparently on good terms with the other party.

The mage nodded disapprovingly, apparently not thinking it was a big deal, and after comforting Galil a few words, he went to Reinado's side, intending to find out what had happened.

……

"Thanks? Why don't you come and thank me?"

At this time, Sean was a little unhappy, he sneered, and said to Galil, "It is worthy of being a sensible ally, and after being hunted down, he doesn't care about anything, he directly leads the enemy to me, and four of them come at once, this mess is really accurate."

"If it weren't for my little strength, I wouldn't know who died here today, but I also used a spell to help you block the enemy's attack, and if I knew this, the wall of bones might as well be used to strengthen your own yard."

In the face of Sean's yin and yang weirdness, Galil silently lowered his head, of course he knew that his behavior would easily attract the disgust of others, but under the circumstances at that time, this was indeed the best way to survive.

"Wait, wait, it's not good to have a conflict between allies, I'll solve this matter and make sure that both of you are satisfied."

After learning what had happened, Reinado scratched his head with a bit of a headache, and he walked back and forth between the two for a while, and soon came up with a plan to get the best of both worlds.

"In this case, Sir Sean, I will bear all your losses today, and in addition, I will give you an additional five thousand gold coins in compensation, and the right not to participate in any unimportant actions in the future, is it okay?"

"Galil, you don't have to worry, all this money is counted on me, and the monthly gold coin that should be given to you will not be less, and even the cost of repairing your broken leg can be paid by me, as long as you are willing to re-sign a long-term contract with me, all this is not a problem."

Reinado touched his chin and turned his gaze back to the two.

In the face of the generous reward, Sean naturally has no opinion, he has already helped Reinado solve a very tricky enemy, and it is natural to get this.

As for the losses? To be honest, he really didn't have much, except for the wall that was blown down by the exploding fireball, perhaps the biggest loss was the four one-time alchemy items that were used before.

……

At the moment, Galil's heart is quite entangled.

In the city of Teresa, most of the contracts signed between professionals and nobles are short-term employment, which is simply mutually beneficial and does not have much of a binding relationship.

Under normal circumstances, no matter which of the two parties wants to terminate such a contract, they only need to notify the other party for a period of time in advance, and there is no need to ask for the other party's opinion at all.

But now Reinado suddenly proposed to change the contract, although he has not seen the specific terms, but he basically understands what this plan means, and it is likely that he will sign a long-term deed of sale with him!
