That evening, Curt visited Judge Olga. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) The four Inquisitors respectfully led Curt and escorted him to Olga's office. When Curt sat down at Olga's desk, the other party had just finished processing a large number of files. Curt didn't come at the right time, and Olga looked a little grumpy.

"Just say anything, I'm dying. ”

Olga threw away the polished quill, looking unhappy. So Curt humbly bowed down and said to Olga, who was tired and annoyed:

"Your Excellency, I'm here to give you some advice. I know that you are upright and upright, and you are a moral example in the City of a Thousand Laws. But I hope you'll spare High Mage Edwin, whom I made an appointment. ”

"The law is not emotional, otherwise it has no majesty. That's the only thing I can't promise you, but I'll reduce Edwin's punishment as I see fit. ”

Olga took off her gold-rimmed glasses and threw them aside, replying impatiently. Curt thought for a moment, then put the hands on the table, and said very sincerely:

"Your Excellency, allow me to stand by my claim. It's not that I'm pampered and proud, or that I want to save my face. I just think that the power of the Dark Sun Church is still there, trying to disadvantage the entire Thousand Law City. But they are a narrow-minded bunch, and they can't tolerate traitors who betray themselves. If Edwin hadn't been punished, he had even been rewarded. Then before proceeding with the next step of the plot, even to kill Master Xi Ioham, they should write Edwin's name on the blacklist. It's good for everyone, including me...... Well, I'm not without selfishness. If you execute Edwin, then I will be a target of the Church of the Dark Sun. ”

During Curt's conversation, Olga's facial muscles gradually changed from tense to soothing. Later, he put his hands on his chest and thought seriously for a moment. After half a minute of contemplation, Olga nodded. He floated a playful smile that he only used when teasing juniors, pointed his finger at Curt and said:

"You're such a nasty little ghost. Every time I talk to you, I feel old and not flexible enough. Well, that's a clever thing to do, and I should be able to think of it. But no one but you would dare to stand up to me. I've been stubborn all these years, and I've almost forgotten that I'm an old bone that is outdated. ”

"You are the pillar of the Thousand Laws, a native of Orga. ”

Curt flattered Olga just right, in exchange for the other party's hearty laughter. Olga stood up with her hands behind her back and said with a stern expression:

"Okay, I promise you. I will resist the pressure of the Council of a Thousand Laws and forgive Edwin for all his crimes. He can even stand next to you at the ceremony. Make good use of Edwin, Curt. You must climb as far as you can, Ioham will need your strength. In addition, I would like to appoint you as my assistant and as a first-class inquisitor. You can ask Gran about your specific duties, and of course, if you're going to dive into studying magic, I'm not going to force you. ”

"It's my honor. ”

Curt agreed without hesitation, he knew the status of the Inquisitor in the Thousand Laws City. Once he has the authority of the Inquisitor, Curt can handle many things above board. Especially after taking over the smuggling channel from the thieves' guild, the identity of the Inquisitor Mage can save Curt a lot of trouble.

"Good. ”

Olga nodded solemnly, admiring Curt's decisiveness. He handed Curt some of the dossiers that only the Inquisitor could read, and then said in a serious tone:

"Take it and study it well. If you can eradicate the threat of the Dark Sun Church to the Thousand Laws City, I can retire with peace of mind. Curt, you are a gifted mage. I believe that within twenty years, you will be able to touch the sixth layer of the magic net. At that point, you will truly achieve something. Not only will you have a seat in the Council of the Thousand Laws, but this chair of mine is not impossible to give to you. ”

Olga patted her office chair and ended the conversation. This is the old-timer's heart-to-heart for the rookie, and it doesn't need Curt's answer at all. Curt took the file with a solemn face, took off a badge placed on the top of the file, and hung it on his chest. The coat of arms is in the shape of a six-pointed star with a relief in the center. It was a hand with five fingers spread out, and a burning flame was suspended in the palm of the hand.

Two days later, in the early morning, Kelly knocked on the door of the Black Tower. She was accompanied by two thieves who stooped down at the first sight of Curt.

Curt nodded loudly and headed to the docklands under Kelly's lead. Gordon followed Curt with his hands on his chest, and after whistling, said:

"Wow, should I say, did you blow up diao? I thought it would take you seven or eight years to get to this point, but you don't seem to like to climb up slowly, and you jump past a lot of people. I admire you more and more, my master. ”

"Your vision made you decide to follow me, and you are a smart man. And I have to remind you that no matter how much you praise me, I won't give you any more rewards. ”

Curt glanced at Gordon and replied angrily. On Gordon's body, several magical items were glittering within range of arcane vision. From the legacy of the High Mages, Curt retrieved the Ogre Power Gauntlet, the Frost Giant's Power Belt, and a Conical Short Spear for Gordon. In addition to this, Gordon had a universal money order worth a thousand gold coins in his pocket.

To Curt, these things are just a drop in the bucket. But Gordon is undoubtedly a big fortune, and his combat effectiveness has also increased several times. With the help of the Ogre Power Gauntlet and the Frost Giant's Belt of Strength, Gordon is now qualified to sit down and wrestle with the Frost Giant. The magic spear was also a murder weapon, which Gordon could use to pierce a long line of hoplites.

Gordon, of course, was still carrying a sniper rifle on his back. He wrapped the gun in oilcloth so that the strange shape of the sniper rifle would not be too conspicuous. Kelly was a little irritated by the words, but she just rolled her eyes and didn't speak. Curt smiled and reached out and put his hand on Kelly's shoulder. He slowly moved his hand downward, meeting no resistance.

When Curt withdrew his hand, Kelly had an extra magic dagger in her palm, and the blade of the one-and-a-half-foot-long sword was engraved with magical runes. It can change the appearance of the wielder, making it an excellent camouflage tool and a sharp weapon for assassination.

"I'll teach you how to use it in the evening. ”

Curt smiled and teased Kelly, but he didn't expect Kelly to blush and nodded. This caused a large amount of testosterone to be secreted in Curt's body, and the loose robe could barely hide a change in his body.

'A great husband cannot be without power for a day!'

When Curt stood on a humble wooden platform and looked down on the hundreds of terrified thieves, he realized this. Camila, the king of thieves, is tied to a shelf in the center of the wooden platform and is being tortured to death.

The masked executioner flipped his hands and skillfully used various tools. He castrated Camilla first, and then stopped the bleeding. Then cut off Camilla's tongue and stop the bleeding...... During the two-hour dismemberment, Camila has been writhing energetically. Finally, the executioner lit a small fire and began to slowly boil out the fat in Camila's body.

"From this day forward, I am your boss. ”

As Camila opened her empty eye sockets and twitched and flicked, Curt spoke. He shocked the audience with a voice disguised by magic, and then said word by word:

"I'm not going to pursue the past. Kelly is my deputy, and she'll rearrange your work. Remember, you are thieves, and thieves have the duty of thieves. What I need is profit, not trouble. So from now on, all slaves under the age of sixteen will be dealt with by me. For the time being, drugs are only allowed to be delivered to fixed sales outlets, and new customers can be recruited only after the shape is stable. ”

"Yes. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

"As you wish. ”

Some of the higher-ranking thieves took off their hats and saluted to pay their respects to Curt. Curt stood noncommittally and after a moment continued:

"I'm sure you must know that Thousand Law City is a city of mages. Therefore, I reiterate that it is absolutely forbidden to meddle in matters between mages, especially the commissions of senior mages. Refuse them, don't offend anyone, even if you sacrifice some other benefit. We need long-term, stable profitability...... Bardman, could you please explain why you still have a relationship with the Church of the Dark Sun to this day?"

"I ......"

The thief who was named by Ke was dumbfounded, not knowing that he had left his name on the file of the trial mage. Curt waited a few seconds, then snapped his fingers. Standing behind him, Gordon immediately removed the cone-shaped spear and threw it. In full view of everyone, spears were thrown through Badman and his lieutenants, hanging them into the stone wall more than ten meters away. Then the light of magic flashed, and the conical spear returned to Gordon's hand.

In the dead silence, Curt said quietly:

"It's an example that I hope you will keep in mind. Don't take my words as a fart, or I'll take your life for a fart too. ”

With that, Curt walked off the wooden platform. Kelly followed, walking side by side with Gordon. A glint of joy flashed in Kelly's eyes - today Curt established Kelly's position and subdued the thieves with a thunderous twist. From now on, all the thieves will compete to flatter Kelly in order to gain in the new organizational structure. They will not hesitate to open the purse and try their best to stuff the gold coins into Kelly's hands.

"Shall we find a place to rest?"

After leaving the secret base underground, Curt turned around and asked with a smile. Kelly gritted her white teeth and hesitated for a moment. She stomped Gordon hard before blushing and nodding.

"Hmmm......"

Kelly's voice was barely audible.
