Led by the servant, the three of them soon came to the parlor and met the copper mine owner, Mr. Barabba Smenko.

When Wren and the others saw the copper mine owner in the reception room, the stocky human merchant was sitting at the table in the reception room, eating and drinking as if no one was around.

Seeing this scene, Wren's eyebrows wrinkled without a trace, and Angelica and Leolina's faces also flashed with a faint look of disgust.

The first impression of the copper mine owner was that he was rude and greedy, like a wild boar from the wilderness to civilization.

"Your Excellency Barabbas, I've brought three guests here."

The servant said to the copper mine owner.

"I see."

Barabbas Smenko waved his hand impatiently and motioned for the servant to leave.

Then, he lifted the sleeve of his silk coat and wiped the oil-stained corners of his mouth before he raised his eyes to look at the three of them.

Listening to the female mage's words, Barabbas Smenko's attitude was not as tough as Fang Cai's treatment of Wren, but frowned, looking tangled.

In less than half a cup of tea, Barabbas Smenko finally spoke:

Barabbas Smenko sneered, got up from his seat, and looked behind Wren.

Because only by keeping your hands delicate can you ensure the flexibility of your hands as much as possible.

Cultists?

Enemies of nature?

"I can give you a certificate that you are the experts I have brought in to inspect the operation of this copper mine."

Leorina smiled and sat down on the chair belonging to the guest, her slender right index finger tapping on the armrest of the chair.

The copper mine owner looked left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "This copper mine is actually not in charge of me alone. In addition to me, Ragnorin Shenshi is also an investor in this copper mine, and he has a larger share. According to my private investigation, he was the first to work with the other party. My men have reported to me that they have seen stoneblind barbarians more than once in the mines in charge of Ragnolin."

"Very well, Mr. Barabbas, as a paladin of the Guardian Temple, I need to tell you one unfortunate news, and that is that you have something big to do!"

"We have tracked down the city of Rahal by order of His Holiness the Bishop, and now the Black Hand gang has identified you as having colluded with the sunless rats, and have given us evidence. Then, dear Mr. Barabbas Smenko, I think you should have time now to come with us to the Temple of the Patron Saint and explain your problem under the gaze of the Lord of Guardians. Oh, by the way, I'm an impatient person, and I don't have that much patience."

The Stoneblind Barbarians are strong, eyeless humanoids with thick gray scales. Although these tall creatures have no vision, they have a strong sense of smell and hearing.

Seeing this, Wren glanced at Angelica, and sat down as well, waiting for the copper mine owner's reply.

Mr. Barabbas's hands did not resemble those of a copper miner at all, delicate and smooth, without a trace of calluses on them.

….

"Hmph, we almost got tricked into the Ring of Oaks by you bastard. I didn't expect you to be in the company of nature's enemies by mining copper ore, then there is nothing to say! Feel the wrath of nature!"

She was sure that the copper mine owner must have a little secret of his own, and it would be wishful thinking to keep it in front of a legendary mage.

"Guys, do you think I want to work with those crazy people? Early the morning after I rejected them, they put the head of my right-hand man next to my pillow! I know this is a warning they gave me!" Barabbas Stemnko gritted his teeth and said, "If I have the chance, I naturally want to give them a hard blow. Moreover, I have evidence of their collusion with other people."

Ring of Oaks?

"Is it just the three of you looking for me?"

And in Wren's impression, yes

Enough to have such delicate hands, only the group of wanderers.

"Mixed up with the Stoneblind Barbarians?" Wren's eyes suddenly turned sharp, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "If what you said is true, then after that ragnorin sinking stone fufa, I will propose to the City Lord's Mansion on behalf of the guardian shrine that this copper mine will be fully handed over to you in charge, but you will need to make up the money equivalent to the value of the other party's share."

Wren made a decisive decision.

Wren raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest.

"Well, I'll admit that I do have business dealings with the Mafia, but that's just to cover up an organization called the Ebony Society."

"Uh," Barabbas Smenko was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "What you don't know, beautiful young lady, is that the reason why this copper mine was expanded was carried out by Ragnorin Shenshi at the behest of the Ebony Society. The guy once said when he was drunk that Ebony would have a secret dark temple deep inside this copper mine, connected to the pit by an elevator. However, the other information, the old woman who did the cunning guy didn't reveal much to me."

"Good!" Wren was extremely satisfied with the information revealed by the copper mine owner, and he raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, "Mr. Barabbas, it seems that you are willing to cooperate with us. In that case, when this matter is over, I will speak for you on behalf of the Guardian Temple, to His Excellency the Mage and the City Lord's Mansion."

"I'm willing to do my best to serve you."

Angelica added at the same time.

"Just, how are we supposed to get into the pit? I don't know if Mr. Barabbas has any good proposals."

Barabbas Smenko suggested.

The Mage's Hand, the most common zero-ring trick used by spellcasters.

Barabbas Smenko's eyes rolled and he came up with an idea.

It's just that in the shadows, the smile on the corner of his mouth is a little infiltrating.

"Also, you'll need to reduce the size of your copper mine to avoid causing more damage to your surroundings."

If he wasn't mistaken, the short, fat copper mine owner was actually a high-ranking wanderer!

"Oh, young paladin, there is no real evidence, but it is not scary." (Intimidation fails)

….

For the stone-blind barbarians, fresh meat is excellent food, and human flesh is the best of the best.

"If you're looking for the copper mine owner of Rahal City, then the contemptible one is."

"Mr. Barabbas, I am a disciple of Grand Master Elbrad Odegaard, and this is my identification." Leorina snapped her fingers, and the paper was held in front of the copper mine owner by an invisible hand.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

These humanoids are degraded from humans, whose ancestors have lived in the shadows of the shadows through generations of worship and following the Mind Flayer, and eventually degenerated into blind, burly man-eating monsters.

"This ......"

The copper mine owner waved his hand again and again, desperately explaining the relationship between himself and the Ebony Society, hoping that the other party would not accidentally hurt the good people.

Miss Ranger is trying to play the role of a ranger in the Ring of the Oak Tree.

"You're Mr. Barabbas Smenko?"

The female mage asked aloud.

The female mage is completely pulling the tiger skin as a banner.

Barabbas Smenko said nonchalantly.

In the face of the enthusiasm of the copper mine owner, the three of Ren did not refuse.

Since he is an expert, it is naturally impossible to enter the pit at night, that would be too unreasonable.

"In that case, then trouble Mr. Barabbas. This matter should not be delayed before Ragnorin Shenshi and Ebony will find out. We'll rest all night, and we'll be in the pit early tomorrow morning."

Wren confirmed coldly.

It's just that after separating from the other party, whether it is Wren or Leolina, the expressions on their faces have become solemn.

In an instant, the entire parlor fell silent again, and only remained

The sound of a female mage's fingers tapping on the armrest.

Noticing that the other party frowned slightly after reading it, the female mage smiled and said:

"Just a few days ago, one of the Wizard's Tower's apprentices suddenly disappeared from the Giant's Roaring Tavern, and according to the Mafia, the last clue was related to Mr. Barabbas. I think it would be better to ask Mr. Barabbas to go to the Master's Tower in person and explain it to the teacher in person."

Angelica also took off the compound longbow from her back, bent her bow and arrows, and said coldly:

After all, in this person's cognition, the Destiny Legendary Mage who was nearby was more intimidating than the Guardian Temple in another city.

After all, the oppression of her temperamental teacher is not something that anyone can bear.

Ten thousand percent of the copper mine owner was reluctant to go to the Mage Tower to meet her dear teacher.

"Ebony Society?" Wren's gaze froze, and the next moment, accompanied by the clear sound of the sword, the holy warrior drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed the tip of the sword directly at the other party, and said in a cold voice, "Cultist! It seems that you don't have to go to the Guardian Temple, I will purify you myself here!"

Barabbas Smenko was so dizzy by the barrage of messages that he finally panicked when he noticed that the female mage had also begun to chant incantations.

But in such a quiet environment, such a sound unconsciously gave the rude copper mine owner great psychological pressure.

Hearing Wren's promise, the copper mine owner's face showed a hint of joy.

….

Yes, there is no church of the gods of covenant and guardianship in the temple district of Lahore, only the churches of the three new gods: the gods of law and punishment, love and art, and commerce and wealth.

"This guy didn't tell the truth, or rather, he didn't tell everything he knew!"

Wren took a few steps forward, walked to the other side of the table, looked at the copper mine owner, and said word by word.

"So, two beautiful young ladies, you too have come to trouble the contemptible ones?"

He lowered his head and said.

"Mr. Barabbas, I hope you will think carefully and don't go astray."

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are rooms in my manor, where you can rest."

Wren said, placing his right hand on the scabbard, but the afterglow of his eyes inadvertently swept over the copper mine owner's large hands like a fan.

In the guest room, Wren closed the door and whispered.

"Well, I feel that way too. His gaze didn't make me feel so panicked, and it seemed as if he had been waiting for this day for a long time. Ninety percent of the information he gave us may be true, but the most crucial one is most likely false!"

The female mage turned the staff in her hand and said faintly.

Huh?

Why didn't I find out?

Miss Ranger blinked, looked at Wren, and then at Leolina, and for the first time felt that her brain was a little insufficient.
