Van Lundel's applause echoed through the room, without the slightest hint of kindness. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) He clapped his hands slowly, and at the same time said mockingly:
"I'm looking forward to your cousin, Curt. Master Jason ** can cast level eight spells, which is someone I don't want to provoke. If you can win him, Lord Eorham will promote you unusually. ”
"I did my best. ”
Curt frowned invisibly and gave an answer that was neither humble nor arrogant. Van Lundel let out a contemptuous sneer and left the Black Tower with a teleportation spell. Ani then appeared, listening to Curt say to herself:
"That guy named Van Lunder seems to be prying me out, trying to get me to fight Jason. Is he prejudiced against me? Have I met him?"
"Are you going to kill him?"
Ani asked casually, leaving Curt with a wry smile and shaking his head. Curt reached out and gently played with Ani's long bunch. He looked at Ani with soft eyes and said with a smile:
"It's just a game, it's not a big deal. Many people don't like to have a dignified duel, and always use means to frame their opponents in private. They will cleverly set up a situation, carefully arrange the plan, and unite many forces to bully the widow. This kind of thing is called politics, and I don't know much about it, but it doesn't hurt to try to play around. ”
"You're a very high-sounding person, but you're actually the best at calculating others, aren't you?"
Ani said softly, a smile on her face. Curt thought for a moment, then nodded. He sat down in his chair, crossed his fingers and said:
"It's true that I never wanted to be a hero. However, I also hate being taken for a fool. I've done it a little bit on a whim this time, but now that I've come this far, I'm ready to go to the end. I need to climb up, and it can't take too much time. Since Jason's son came to the door himself, I chose him as a stepping stone. ”
"Come on. ”
Ani took Curt's hands and transmitted the cold sensation. She looked at Curt and said softly before disappearing:
"Just do it, Curt. Whatever happens, I'll protect you. ”
"Thank you. ”
Curt replied with mixed feelings. In his opinion, it was up to him to protect Ani. But judging from the past appearance, Ani's strength is far above Curt. When he needs to speak with strength, Curt still needs to put in a lot of effort to protect Ani from the wind and rain with a clear conscience.
After drinking a cup of tea and calming his mind, Curt took out a crystal ball. As a spell envoy selected by the magic net, his prophecy and protection spells have been strengthened, and now is the right time to take them out and give them a try. While talking to Van Rendel earlier, Curt quietly used his psychic ability to make a psychic imprint on the other person's body. With this mark as a condition, Curt Shi exhibited the art of character tracking.
The sight of the street soon appears in the crystal ball, which looks like somewhere in the city of a thousand laws. There was no figure of Van Rendel in it, only a moving mental imprint. It seems that Van Rendel has blessed himself with invisibility and is walking the streets. He walked slowly and did not greet anyone.
Perhaps today's events were enough for Van Lundel to remember, so he chose to think about the problem while walking. Curt stared at the crystal ball with interest, he wanted to know the true face of the other party.
As the head of the Faceless One, Van Lundel is a powerful man. He is a confidant of Ioham, and his name, age, and even gender are secrets. Curt casually guessed that Van Rendel was actually a middle-aged woman with still charm. Then she may have an intimate relationship with Ioham and hold a lot of secrets.
In Curt's opinion, starting with Van Rendel is a good way to investigate the mysterious organization of the Faceless. Given Ioham's strength, Curt would never dare to play any tricks in front of him. Relatively speaking, Van Lundel doesn't seem to have anything particularly extraordinary. Perhaps he has absolute loyalty in exchange for Ioham's blue eyes.
'No......
Curt frowned slightly, correcting his opinion. All Faceless Ones have arcane tattoos, and they must pledge unconditional allegiance to Ioham, whether they wish to do so or not. So Van Rendel can become one of the best, and there must be something special about him. After all, Eoham is a meritologist, and he won't promote an incompetent little person.
As a result, Curt raised his guard and zoomed out the tracking spell to keep up with Van Rendel. After walking for more than ten minutes, Van Rendel turned into a cloth shop that was not good-looking. Curt's psionic sigil on Van Lundel's body then vanished, seemingly dispelled by some kind of spell.
Curt's turn of events did not come as a surprise, and many mages would cast a dispel spell before returning to their residences to make sure they could. Although spells and psionic powers are very different, it is difficult to affect each other. But in order to hide his eyes, Curt only applied a faint psionic imprint. Therefore, as long as you use a normal dispel spell, you can easily remove that psionic imprint.
Curt thought for a few seconds before the dimmed crystal ball. Then he got up from his chair and flew out of the Black Tower. Today was the first time Curt had met Van Rendel, and he believed that he was just a small person in the eyes of the other party. At this time, Curt immediately took action to explore Van Rendel's secret, and perhaps it would be easy to find out.
It didn't take long for Curt to find the cloth shop that Van Rendel had entered. Located in the bustling part of the main city, the cloth shop is a high-end shop that only sells items to mages.
Curt nodded slightly, thinking that Van Lundel had chosen a good hiding place. Many mages like to set up secret settlements in the slums in case they need them. Therefore, according to some people's calculations, the slums have long hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and throwing a brick may be able to smash two or three mages. Therefore, the cloth shop in front of Curt is more suitable as a foothold, but the cost is much more expensive.
Curt paused for a moment in front of the cloth shop, using his arcane vision to find a facility that had blessed the spell. He had no intention of breaking in, so as not to startle the snake.
While Curt was looking out covertly, someone approached. Curt put on a thoughtful expression, pretending to be considering whether or not to enter the store to buy something.
"Hello, Mr. Curt. ”
A few seconds later, the other side greeted Curt. Curt turned his head in surprise, and Shaman, who was now in the Broken Boots Merchant Regiment, was standing not far away. He couldn't remember Shaman's name anymore and could only smile in response. Curt hadn't seen Sharman in a while, and he didn't have any impression of the girl in front of him. Relatively speaking, Sharman is very enthusiastic. She approached Curt and asked curiously:
"Mr. Shi, are you here to buy fabric?"
"I'm thinking about whether or not I should make a new robe. ”
Curt replied with a smile, pulling up the placket and shaking it. He was wearing an iridescent robe, slightly out of size. It's a perfect excuse for anyone who listens to it.
But to Ke's surprise, Sharman seemed to become a little excited. She straightened up and said with some smugness:
"Then please come with me, I can sell you the exact same cloth at a low price. The fabric for this shop is supplied by our merchant group, and there is just a surplus of it. Grandpa was worried that there would be wear and tear on the road, so he prepared a lot. Just say hi to him and send you a few rolls. ”
"Huh. ”
Curt didn't know what to do for a while, and felt quite embarrassed. He wanted to observe the situation in the cloth shop for a little longer, but he didn't excuse himself to drive Shaman away. In desperation, Curt could only change the subject. Holding the idea that it could be delayed for a while, Curt said absent-mindedly:
"Sorry, I forgot your name. But you don't seem to be afraid of me? I thought that after something like that, you would turn away from me. ”
"My name is Sharman and my grandfather's name is Quinn, and my family has been running a Broken Boots trade group for almost a hundred years. ”
Shaman generously reintroduced himself, and by the way, he also pulled both sides of his pants and made a rather aristocratic opening ceremony. When Curt looked at Sharman curiously, she continued to say calmly:
"The last time I was bad, but if you think about it, I should be grateful to you. You've defeated the bandits, saved me, and solved the possibility of the bad guys making a comeback once and for all. I don't have any reason to fear or hate you, I think that's how it should be. ”
"Don't you think I'm dangerous?"
Curt took a few more looks at Shaman and thought the girl was quite interesting. Sharman hesitated for a moment, and then said unconfidently:
"Uh...... My grandfather said that there are very few pure good guys and bad guys in the world. The world is complex and ever-changing, so don't be too demanding. Judging by the results, you helped us, and that's enough. We owe you a favor, it's the logic of businessmen. Anyway, we won't deliberately offend you with a bug in our heads, so you shouldn't do anything to us, right?"
"Haha, that's natural. Your grandfather is very wise, and your business will definitely get better and better. ”
Sharman was a little unconfident at the end, but it amused Curt. Curt agrees with Sharman that the world is not perfect, and being too demanding will only make one's life uncomfortable. In Curt's opinion, the Broken Boots Merchant Group is not all useless. They can help Curt connect with places outside of Thousand Laws City, becoming a new channel. In addition to passing on the message, maybe after getting acquainted with it, the Broken Boots Merchant Group will be able to deliver some forbidden items for Curt.
"You two know each other?"
Just as Curt and Sharman found common ground, someone interjected. Curt was a little surprised by the arrival, because the other party was none other than the most promising mage in Thousand Laws City, and also one of Randall's powerful suitors, the high-level mage Lan Kate.
