Sending Reis away and putting away the cash box, Annan didn't rush back to the gladiatorial arena, pondering how to help Reis promote. He pulled Isabel and rented a carriage.

"First go to 111 Sharonster Ave., then 55 Tulip Ave."

In the afternoon, Annan returned to the gladiatorial arena in the anxiety of Deputy Boris.

"Our match with Tanamurdo Academy is about to begin." Alice's gaze fell on Annan's chest, "The necklace is beautiful. ”

"Thank you."

After the announcement by the Ministry of Ceremonies officials, Annan stood in the gladiatorial arena with a bald man holding a tomahawk.

"Annan, release your earth elemental, wah, a The bald man slapped his chest with a tomahawk and roared.

"What, where did you buy my necklace, you asked?" Annan held up the purple gemstone necklace on his chest so that everyone could see it clearly, and his words echoed in the ears of tens of thousands of viewers through amplification magic.

"Shop in the Jewel Star Jewelry."

"I didn't ask......"

Annan's spell had been unleashed, and five large earth elementals were facing the bald man.

The bald man closed his mouth and slammed into the earth elemental fiercely. He regarded this battle as a trial, wielding his battle axe wantonly, and actually supported himself head-on in the siege of the five earth elementals.

Cheers began to ring out from the audience, and Annan also praised: "Your strength is very strong. ”

After saying that, Annan took out a bottle of magic potion: "I'm going to replenish the magic potion I bought from Steve's magic shop." ”

"......"

The bald man could no longer hold it and raised his hand to signal surrender.

"It's not fair! Why the game allows magicians to regain their mana! ”

"You can't let the caster fight you hand-to-hand." Annan replied with a magic potion.

He waved to the cheering crowd and returned to the bench.

The official of the Ministry of Ceremonies almost arrived with him, and it was still the male official of the Ministry of Manners.

"Anything else?"

Annan even changed his attitude towards the people in the Ministry of Etiquette.

"You're breaking the rules." The male official said helplessly.

"As a nobleman, it's normal for me to wear jewelry, right?"

"And what about magic potions?"

"As a player, of course I need magic potions to replenish my magic."

"But why did you name the store?" The male official of the Ministry of Etiquette sighed, interrupted Annan's excuse, and said, "I brought a message from Mr. Minister: 'That's it, boy of the Reeves family, and then give the championship to someone else if you make money from the competition.'" ’”

"I'm sorry, I'm not going to let these things appear in the Colosseum anymore." Annan ripped off the gemstone necklace and put down the magic potion.

"Hmm......" the male official found a loophole in his words, "It's not okay outside!" ”

"Of course."

After completing the task assigned by Reis, Annan no longer has to continue, but regrets that he really can't use the tournament to make money anymore......

For Annan, this high-profile battle for the imperial capital has come to an end.

An old-fashioned, politically strong, inflexible old city – that's the impression of Annam.

The finances of the imperial capital of Annamchai must not be loose.

After the match, Annan turned out the address given to him by the Grey-robed Warlock.

"I'm going to go out."

"Have you thought about it?" Alice saw Annan put away the note.

"Reach out to them a little more."

……

The entire imperial capital was built on Montreal Mountain, which gave the imperial capital many special areas, such as Stacked Mountain-

The cramped and dark alleys, crooked stacked houses, random staircases and gray pedestrians almost contributed to the inspiration of Tumbledown Alley in Annan's mind.

After entering the stacked mountain, it was like stepping from late autumn to winter, the sewage froze in the shadows that the sun did not reach, the strange smell of rancidity, fishy stench and potions filled the dark alleys that could not be volatized, and the pair of eyes full of malice that fell on the body.

This is the Imperial Capital, and I'm a future champion warlock, so there's nothing to worry about.

Annan realized that he had made a mistake and should have asked what kind of place this was coming from.

"Where is 22 Black Hat Street?" Annan stopped a passerby.

The rickety old woman slowly raised her head, revealing her crooked black teeth, and the black cloak she wore made her look like a legendary witch—but the unexpected friendliness pointed forward: "Go all the way, step up the thirty-three stairs, and the shop with the hanged man on the left is." ”

"Thank you."

Annan found the steps guided by the old woman, and as soon as he raised his head after stepping on it, he saw a dark figure hanging upside down in the doorway.

It's just a humanoid stand.

Annan stepped into the dark shop, surrounded by darkness, except for the little candle burning on the counter.

The figure behind the counter raised his head: "Take or hire." ”

"I'm looking for ......"

The Grey-robed Warlock didn't tell Annan his name, and Annan took out the note, increasingly thinking it was a bad idea, "...... A warlock who claimed to be the Warlock Protection Society gave me an address, and he said he was here. ”

Bang Bang Bang –

The figure behind the counter suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Who pretended to be the Warlock Protection Society to trick a lamb here?" ”

Many malicious eyes appeared in the darkness around them, but no one answered.

"Who are you?" He continued.

"Annan Reeves." Annan was ready to cast a spell.

The figure was suddenly silent for a moment: "That Annan from Salz Academy?" ”

"If you were willing to light a lamp, you would see my black hair."

“…… You've been deceived, this is the Shadow Brotherhood. ”

It wasn't the old woman who deceived him, but the gray-robed mage.

"Then it's time to settle accounts with you......" Annan was not afraid, and even had some surprise: "Your peripheral member Silvie attacked me, and I have not waited for your compensation. ”

“…… We have informed the Knights, and they are in charge of this. The figure said calmly, "You were tricked by someone pretending to be the Warlock Protection Society?" So are you interested in joining the Brotherhood of Shadows? ”

"Nope."

Dina, Olmedo's squire, was a member of the Shadow Brotherhood, which she said was an assassination and intelligence-trading organization.

Bang –

The door to the outside world suddenly closed, and the figure whispered hideously, "Do you think the Shadow Brotherhood will come whenever they want......"

Annan was still wondering, what did the gray-robed warlock trick himself into coming here for?

He felt that something was wrong...... For example, why did he suddenly come to the Warlock Protection Society to have a look, as if he had been tempted by Sylvie before......

The figure who was coercing Annan suddenly changed his face: "Damn, why did you release magic!" ”

The door of the shop opened again, and the malevolent beings were pouring out in terror, and by the time Annan came to his senses, only himself and the ugly figure at the counter were left in the shop.

And the elements that are pouring out.

And the earth trembling faintly beneath your feet.
