To outsiders, it seemed that Curt was waiting to receive the loot. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) In an impeccable manner, he completed several pieces of work that were delivered by Eorham himself. In addition to this, Curt also played a major role in the defeat of Jason and Evra. He will undoubtedly be promoted at the next Thousand Laws Summit, and Ioham has also said that if Curt is doing well, he will prepare a chair belonging to Curt in the Council of Thousand Laws.
This is an anxious situation, as the Facelings, at the behest of Ioham, have taken over the power vacancy left by Jason and Evra. They make sure that important institutions are functioning properly, but they don't rush in. During this time, the mercenary guild's business was reduced by thirty percent, but Ioham didn't care.
It looks like it's a prize for Curt. The High Mages were privately talking, speculating that at least some of the important power would fall into Curt's hands. So some of the old men were furious, pacing back and forth in their mage towers, cursing damned Curt. These people have been thirsting for power for decades, and finally waited for Jason and Evra to fall, but they didn't expect another Curt to jump out of the way.
Power should be inherited from seniority, this is their position. An old and qualified senior mage has dedicated his whole life to the Thousand Laws City, compared to what kind of fun is the newly emerging Curt? Ioham is also old and confused, how can he put such precious power in the hands of a hairless little cub?
Through guΓ² multiple intelligence networks, including Olga, Curt has heard of this. It is said that the most dissatisfied are the conservative mages, most of whom are mediocre, but they are the cornerstone of maintaining the normal operation of the Thousand Law City. Curt had no intention of making enemies, so he simply hung up the anti-war card, pretending to be deaf and dumb and didn't know what to do. Anyway, time is on Curt's side, and he just needs to wait.
This evening. After dinner, Curt decided to go to the Thorn Rose to relax. He has completed the integration of five mercenary groups, allowing Cedric to efficiently operate his manpower and sweep away monsters near the trade routes. In addition to this, Curt also digested the legacy of Jason and Evra. Now the magic items on his body have been updated, and their power and function are not what they used to be. Relying on the notes left behind by the two ** masters, Curt's understanding of magic has also reached a deeper level, reaching unprecedented heights.
So Curt was in a very good mood, and he even took apprentices number one and three to Thorn Rose. In the past two weeks, Apprentice One and Apprentice Three have learned their first spell one after the other. They are officially on the path to becoming spellcasters. Also earned his own name.
Apprentice No. 1 is named Mondo, a simple-looking boy who can't be found when he falls into a sea of people. Apprentice No. 3 is a tall girl of hill blood named Evelyn. In addition to her thin body, Evelyn can be called a beautiful girl. She has long pale green hair. There is always a smile in the big eyes. It is said that a boy who lives nearby has given Evelyn a gift, but unfortunately Evelyn has thrown it back.
Gordon naturally followed Curt's side. Work as a bodyguard. After going to the Thorn Rose a few times. He bought a set of brown casual clothes, and finally dressed up a little stylishly. Gordon slung his sword to his waist, and all the other weapons were in his pocket at the dimension. Because Thorn Rose is a place of glittering lights, it is not suitable for dressing up murderously.
After arriving at the Thorn Rose, Curt was greeted by Jemmy and went directly to the special private room. Curt is famously generous. So several maids followed, vying to serve him. Curt randomly chose two maids who had not been called recently, and then entered the private room. He ordered some food and drink, then tossed out a few gold coins as a tip. The maids were sent away.
Mondo and Evelyn looked excited and reserved. The dΓ©cor in the private room was too lavish for them, and the drinks prepared by the maids were unprecedented. Now that the two apprentices were at a loss, Curtten pouted and motioned for Gordon to find a solution. So Gordon sat down next to the apprentices, took the dice, and began to teach Mondo and Evelyn some small games of gambling.
At the same time, Curt walked to the private bathroom's private bathroom and pushed open a secret door. Inside the secret door was a rectangular room of about twenty square meters, and a magic circle was etched at the end of the floor of the room. Sabina's phantasm appeared in the magic circle, and she was meditating with her eyes closed. Curt waited quietly for a moment, until Sabina opened her eyes and said with a smile:
"You've been so diligent, Curt. I didn't ask you to join Thorn Rose to talk to you often. β
"To each other, Master Sabina, I didn't think of helping people to squat in the field in exchange for some gold coins that were not enough for tea. β
Curt shrugged and replied indifferently. His real deal with Sabina is to use his prestige to raise the popularity of the Thorn Rose and provide protection. Sabina rewarded Curt with information that the High Mages who came to the Thorn Rose for recreation always had something to talk about. Sometimes they would chat with the maids and show off their knowledge.
Therefore, Thorn Rose is very sensitive to current affairs and gossip, and occasionally finds out some small secrets. The surname of this information is peculiar, and it is different from that provided by the thieves' guild. For the most part, the intelligence of the thorn rose is very moist. But as long as you filter carefully, you can still find some clues that other channels can't notice.
"You know, the Thousand Laws Summit is coming soon. β
Curt folded his hands behind his back and spoke as he paced. He frowned and continued nonchalantly:
"I think if someone looks at me and wants to frustrate me, then it's time to do it in the next two days. Now this is the right time, if I do something out of shape, after a week of leaven, I can reach the peak of attention. Even if Lord Eorham wanted to put a burden on me, the other council members would be able to hold on to my gaffe and force Lord Eoham to find another suitable candidate. The old conservative guys will be happy, they don't have enough to accomplish, but they must be very skilled at dragging people back and doing bad things that fall into the ground. β
"Didn't Lord Eoham tell you that there is only one ruler of the Thousand Laws City, as long as he makes up his mind, the other councillors can be regarded as foils. β
Sabina deliberately teased Curt, then put away her smile. She looked at Curt, who was staring at her, and said sternly:
"Somebody is almost certain to get you in trouble. Your table is indeed eye-catching, but it's not enough to scare off all the competitors. β
"Competitors? Do you have a list?"
Curt turned to face Sabina, feeling that he could finally get to the point. It's a pity that Sabina shook her head and said regretfully:
"I don't have a list, there are too many people trying to exclude you. You climb too high, too fast, and it's literally skyrocketing. If Catherine hadn't assured me herself, you'd have the real thing. I'd also suspect that you're just a lucky little mage who is good at fishing in troubled waters. If you want to get someone who is jealous of you to give up their illusions, then the best thing to do is to show their hands in public...... Ah, your half-dark elf friend is here, you'd better go out and say hello. β
Sabina's apparition quietly vanished, ending the conversation. Curt pondered for a moment, then returned to the private room. He saw Evelyn standing at the table with her hands raised in the air, bouncing around the table. When she saw Curt, Evelyn was stunned. She thought about it for a moment, and sat down with a red face. Mondor, who had been cheering for Evelyn just now, quickly shut up, only Gordon shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"It's time to rest, so you don't have to be too restrained. β
Curt waved his hand, as if he felt that he had become the most vicious demon king. The two apprentices hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gordon, who was on the table. Gordon whistled, grabbed the dice, and said:
"I said it didn't matter, the host wasn't so harsh. β
"Well, you guys play whatever you want. β
Kirt nodded, then gave Gordon a deep look. Gordon immediately sat up straight, took his sword and placed it horizontally on his knee. As the two apprentices cheered for the game to resume, Gordon stood up and walked over to Curt's side. He pretended to be absent-minded and chewed nuts, and asked in a low voice:
"Is there any problem, master?"
"It's not clear, but you'd better be vigilant. β
Curt lowered his head and adjusted the position of the spatial ring. He's added a lot of new items to it, and it's taking time to get used to it. When Gordon took out the Ogre Power Glove and put it on, there was a knock on the door. Then Adios pushed the door and said with a grin:
"Excuse me, Curt. Long time no see, how about a drink?"
"No problem, you sit. β
Ke Ting nodded, feeling somewhat relieved. Because of Ioham's relationship with Quentin, Adios is on Curt's side. Although Curt didn't know how many skills Adios had, when he first met unexpectedly, Curt knew that Adios was by no means a good stubble.
"Richard is here, he's the backbone of the conservative faction in Thousand Laws City, don't tell me you don't know what he's doing. Blue Kate is also on her way here, and it's going to be lively tonight. β
Adios took the wine glass and sat down next to Curt and whispered. So Curt put down the teacup that had been brought to his lips, shook the tea in the cup, and replied:
"You're well-informed. So what are you doing here? Watching the excitement, or supporting me?"
"My dad said that you have to be kind. Anyway...... Twice as much as kindness and ten times as much hatred as my family motto. Hehe, if I'm more honest, sometimes I have itchy hands. What's it called? Armed with a sharp weapon, murderous? My dad is a rambling guy, but what he says always makes sense. β
"Thank you, father, for me. β
Curt put down the teacup and felt that the shape was not bad!
