775 Iron Fist
Rogan seems to be in trouble, not only did he not come back that night, but he also did not show up for the next two days.
Before leaving the tavern to find Lanaya, Allegri asked the lame bartender and the waiter Luben, but they didn't know much about it, except that Logan and his gang members had recently disappeared. Even other gangs have come out to try to grab their original territory.
Allegri sighed, he was still quite grateful to Logan who had repeatedly helped, but with his current strength, he was afraid that it would be difficult to help the other party.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace. Finally had time to find Lanaya's Sensing Net, and he couldn't wait. In any case, magic is the power that a mage should really master.
The big dog that ran in front barked a few times. Allegri looked up and found several men in black, carrying two corpses, out of the alley next to him.
On their chests, it seemed to be the insignia of the sheriff's office, Allegri glanced at it, and the round brass badge was very similar to the silver badge presented by Zanawa, differing only in material.
As we all know, the security sub-bureau in the dock area is just a decoration, and it usually doesn't even need to patrol, anyway, the order of each block is maintained by its own gang. So why are they in shantytowns today?
Allegri subconsciously slowed down, and heard the leader order, "It's the Iron Fist gang again, throw it directly to the cemetery." β
The other shook his head and said, "I don't know how Logan provoked that guy...... But now that I'm talking about it. Then we can't interfere, let's honestly follow behind and collect the corpse. β
"Old Billy, it's not like you didn't see the wounds on the corpse. Even if you let you interfere, do you have that ability?" the leader sneered, and then said, "Forget it, anyway, there are very few remnants of the Iron Fist Gang, and the task of the Sheriff's Department now is to take care of the other gangs." lest they fight for territory and a large-scale conflict breaks out......"
Allegri walked by as unchanging as he could, and then turned back. The sheriff's officers had already thrown the body into the wagon and walked away. The news he had secretly heard made him worry until the two sisters' residences. Still frowning slightly.
"What's wrong with you?" asked Beverly with concern.
"You're in a shanty town these days. Did you hear anything about Logan, or the Iron Fist Gang?" Allegri asked, closing the courtyard door, turning back.
"Like...... I heard that," Beverly replied uncertainly, after a moment's thought, "I heard from the bakery that the Iron Fist Gang had offended a certain powerful person in the White City district, and the other party sent a killer to retaliate. In the past few days, more than a dozen people have died. β
"Oh. Allegri nodded. I finally got a rough idea. But now, Logan must be hiding, and he can only hope that he can escape this catastrophe.
"Mr. Igo," Lanaya asked with a smile as she stepped out of the room, "do you finally have time?"
"Yes," Allegri said, reining in his thoughts, "let's get started." β
"Then come to my room, be quiet. Lanaya greeted.
Allegri nodded at Beverly and followed the girl towards the house. During this time, he occasionally took time out to meditate, and his magic level had rebounded, but the sea of souls had already dried up, and it would not be a day or two before he could return to his old view.
The only way to do this is to pray for a mysterious net.
The Lord's Mansion of Dover.
Claude leaned back on the embroidered gold soft chair, squinted at those charming blue eyes, and waved his hand, "Nian." β
"Arcane Hunter Gilvo, forty-seven years old, between high and high rank, with a ruthless personality, good at close swords, and the art of tracking and seeking enemies," the white-faced and slightly bearded chief recited the information on the parchment, line by line, "The weapon he relied on to become famous was an enchanted stabbing sword called 'Hanging Light', which Thran was known forβ"
"Do you think I don't know about these things?" Claude interrupted, "I'm concerned about why Guilvo came to Dover, and how did he get involved with the Dante family?"
"It is said that Gilvo, the Arcane Hunter, is a contract warrior of the Deputy Chief......," the prefect said softly.
"It's just rumors, you don't have to take it seriously. Claude waved his hand and said. But if he really didn't care, why did he order the sheriff's office to stand by and not get into a conflict with Gilvo?
"My lord," said the presiding officer, "there is one more thing that I don't know to talk about...... Don't say it. β
Say. Claude said indifferently.
"Since yesterday, Logan has been asking for help from the City Lord's Mansion," the chief officer asked cautiously, "He has served the Lord for many years, is it true that he has to give up completely because of a rumor?"
Claude glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Did you take advantage of him by speaking for him like this?"
"No, no, the lord misunderstood," the chief officer immediately knelt down and defended in a loud voice, "It's just that he has always been able to do things, and he has just been promoted to a high-level martial artist, if he continues to cultivate, he may be able to become the right-hand man of the lord in the future." β
"Hmm......" Claude nodded, moved. In the island of Thurland, high-level martial artists are rare, even the arcane hunter Gilvo is only in this realm, but with the help of the sword "hanging light", he has reached the strength of the upper position.
Just then, a bluebird flapped its wings into the hall and landed on the arm of the soft chair.
Two long feathers fell, bursting with magical power, condensing into a line of magical runes in front of him. Claude glanced at it, and couldn't help but change his face slightly.
"My lord, what's the matter?" the presiding officer asked.
"In the early years, when Deputy Speaker Blundell was studying, he was destitute and was once sponsored by the previous head of the Dante family," Claude said in a low voice, "but the two sides never mentioned it, and the deputy speaker only secretly took care of it, so no one knew." β
"Thisβ" The presiding officer was startled. Because Keltzman, the speaker of the Nine-Ring Council, has been in semi-seclusion for a long time, Deputy Speaker Blundell has become the de facto leader of the island of Thran. As a conservative leader, Brendall has always been at odds with the Claude family, and if he learns about the hostage-taking, he will play on it.
"My lord, how should this matter be handled?" the chief officer asked worriedly.
"At this point, the only way to do this is to completely disown Logan and leave him to fend for himself," Claude thought for a moment and ordered in a low voice, "Also, get ready to drive, I'm going to the Lord's Mansion." β
