As soon as the words fell, the corner that had been moving not long ago slowly trembled, and soon, the vague figure gradually became clear.

"Where do I think I've seen you?" The man was a male elf, ragged and unkempt, and the inexplicable familiarity made Lanros frown.

"Would you like a drink?" Ceris grinned, holding the bottle aloof, revealing a row of white, neat teeth.

"It's you!" finally combined the alcoholic homeless man with the other party, Lanlos exclaimed in surprise, and for a moment he couldn't control the change in his expression.

Smiling in acquiescence, Serris gestured to a stool not far away, "Want to talk?"

"Of course. Without hesitation, the strong curiosity made Lanlos immediately agree to the other party's proposal.

The two of them were very good in their logical skills and verbal expression, and after a short exchange, Lanlos quickly cleared the fog.

As he expected, this spy school was formed by Serris. As the war with the trolls has intensified recently, many elven children who are unable to live on their own have lost their support, and most of these students are orphans he has adopted.

But compared to these, the most chilling thing is the persecution from compatriots.

Serris's fortune was not enough to sustain his children's lives and run his school, so he started his own business with them.

Given that Seris is doing charity work, Silvermoon City can tolerate him not paying taxes, but it will not condone him with a group of children to do illegal things.

As a result, children are never allowed to do things like stealing, and their source of profit is intelligence. Perhaps Silvermoon City saw the potential of these young spies and was willing to spend a lot of money to buy some corrupt and even extra-legal aristocratic information from them.

This is a righteous and proud thing, both Ceris and the children are happy to contribute to Silvermoon City, and even the higher-ups of the Sun-Seeking Court praise and encourage them.

But for some nobles with bad intentions, they are a thorn in the side.

However, due to the attention of the royal court to these people, no one is willing to risk their lives unless they are forced to a dead end, or there is a golden opportunity.

And the appearance of Lanlos is such an opportunity.

As a fresh face who came out of the Tower of Sunrage, his strength is definitely unquestionable. And to be able to get lost in Silvermoon City, obviously, he is not familiar with this place, not only the distribution of routes, but also the intricate relationships of these secrets.

He is the best candidate, the most suitable butcher knife.

Fortunately, he is not a particularly impulsive person, and fortunately he is rational enough, otherwise, I am afraid that he will really be used as a gun.

And the reason why Lanlos will be used is mainly because of what Thiris is doing.

O'Mara, a baron who had just inherited the family fortune, had his winery sold out long ago due to negligence. Seeing that wealth is like flowing water, Omara will soon be out of the aristocratic circle, but this old boy has not known what he has been crazy about recently, and suddenly has several extravagant parties in a row.

Such an abnormal move successfully attracted the attention of the royal court of the day.

On orders from above, Serris began to check the water meter.

He succeeded and failed. Serris found evidence of Omara's smuggling of jewelry, perfumes and other luxury goods, and even more exaggeratedly, Omara also seems to have been involved in the trade routes of the magic crystal.

Mana crystals are consumables artificially created by major temples with overflowing mana, which can not help but restore the caster's mana, increase the efficiency of spellcasting, and even help with promotion. It is not valuable in Silvermoon City, but the major human countries, including Dalaran, have an extremely large demand for this crystal.

And this demand has successfully driven the price of magic crystals to an unattainable position.

The huge profits in the middle attracted the coveted of countless people, and although the royal court tried its best to monopolize it, there were still people who could find loopholes and make high fortunes from it.

This is tantamount to theft of the country's wealth, a felony, and the initial sentence is deprivation of property status and life servitude.

Although a lot of progress has been made, and even the accounts of the other party's smuggling have been found, unfortunately, the mercenary mage is so strong that he almost killed him on the spot in the name of burglary.

Serris exposes herself, and at the same time touches Omara's bottom line.

"So you were tracking that Toryan?" Nodding in understanding, Lanroth asked.

"Yes, that mage has been mysterious lately, and I've been following him for days. It's just that I really didn't expect him to make a decisive move on a new mage like you. ”

I'm afraid it's not just that.

Thinking back to the arcane staff that had been taken away by the other party, Lanloth's face gradually darkened.

"According to you, no one of Omara's men should be able to stop you except this Tolian, right?"

"In that case, why don't you act while he's doing it to me?"

"If the Tolian succeeds, the consequences for them are unimaginable. Smiling and shaking his head, Serris looked at the children who were constantly whispering something: "Everything I do is for them, and if the price of doing this is to put them in danger, I'd rather accept defeat." ”

Failure means that the smuggler continues to go unpunished.

Although he thought so in his heart, Lanlos did not question him about it. There is no absolute right or wrong, and concentrating on one's own ideals is inherently respectable. Lanlos could see that Thiris could do anything for the sake of these children, and this persistence moved him.

"But now with you, maybe things can change. Serris put away his smile and looked at Lanlos with infinite hope in his eyes.

"What do you want to do?" Not to mention that the other party used himself as a gunman, it was unforgivable that Torian actually stole his staff, and it was impossible for Lanlos to let this greedy mage go.

"Tolian is a conceited and narrow-minded fellow, and he must have thought that we were in trouble right now, and that tonight was the best time for us to act. Grabbing the short sword on his waist, Seris smiled faintly, "I'll help you get your stuff back, and you help me get Omara's smuggling accounts, it's as simple as that." ”

"Agreed!"

Shaking hands with Lanros, Serris turned to the blonde girl cowering in the corner and said, "Valera, you take everyone to rest first, don't wait for me to come back today, and don't go out." ”

Lanros, who was pondering, immediately frowned when he heard Thiris's words. Valera?, where do you think you've heard that?

The girl didn't reply, but turned to look at her companions in a group on the other side, her blue eyes glinting with inexplicable color.

"I'll go with you. As soon as Seris got up, Valella spoke, and everyone's eyes were on her in great unity.

"Don't mess around, rest well, I'll give you a new mission tomorrow. Without hesitation, Seris decisively rejected the other party's request, and immediately motioned to Lanlos, and the two quickly left the basement.

Looking at where the two had disappeared, Valera brushed aside the other children who had gradually dispersed back into the room, a sharp flash flashing in her eyes.
