When Arthur and the others happily sat on the ground and shared the spoils, the entire royal city had exploded.

The city guards have completely cordoned off the entire neighborhood where the New Lotus Inn is located.

The original site of the Xinhe Inn has become a ruin, Joan's "fire dragon technique" is too violent, while instantly burning down a row of houses in the backyard, the embers also spread to the front yard, no one can care about fighting the fire in the chaos, and when the water magician arrives, the entire inn has become a sea of fire.

Burning down an inn and killing six people, including a registered seventh-level martial artist, is no longer a simple law and order case. The city guards have handed over the case to the Tingwei Bureau, which is in charge of investigation and important cases, and a group of Tingwei officials in soap robes and military uniforms are collecting clues and inquiring corpses at the scene.

Among the crowd looking outside the blockade line, looking at the Xinhe Inn, which had been burned to ruins, a man in a gorgeous robe had his head bruised and his body trembled slightly. Because of the raging, the wound burst, and the left hand, which had just been bandaged, began to bleed again.

"Check, check for me! Even if you look through the underground forces in the entire royal city, you have to find out who did it for me!" the man roared in a low voice.

Several black-clothed men quickly flashed out of the crowd, and their figures disappeared in all directions.

In the next six months, the underground forces of the entire royal city experienced a bloody storm, and often a related news or rumor caused a fight, and more than one-third of the forces were shuffled in this turmoil.

......

Grand Duke's Mansion of Palmer.

The middle-aged scribe paced back and forth in the room with a teacup in hand.

"I've managed to get the confessions of those mercenaries at the city guard, and as the kid said, this incident is not an accident, but someone hired a few wandering mercenaries through an underground merchant agency. The old butler bowed slightly and whispered to the side.

"Follow this line and see if you can find out who is behind it?"

The old butler smiled bitterly, "Just last night, the business house was burned, and this clue was broken. ”

The middle-aged scribe's face gradually turned cold, "No matter which of them did it, I know the purpose, it is nothing more than to scare Lucy to give me a warning and force me to leave the Grand Duke's Mansion, but now they are in such a hurry to cut off the clues, but they can't help but be a little ruthless." ”

It is said that the power behind the underground trading house is very deep, and it is worth the loss to eradicate the entire trading house for this little thing. ”

The middle-aged scribe nodded, "Then don't look down first, this matter can be regarded as a wake-up call for me, some people can't wait to do it, it seems that I gave them too weak feeling before." ”

"Since the eldest prince died in battle at the beginning of last year, the eldest prince has not set a storage position, but he suddenly summoned you back and gradually entrusted you with important tasks, obviously some people are worried that you have robbed them of their interests. ”

The middle-aged scribe snorted lightly, "Could it be that the Grand Duke can still pass on the title to me with a foreign surname?"

"Don't forget, Madame's surname is Palmer, and the Marquis of Isaac Kingdom has produced two in recent years. The old butler reminded.

"I have already shown my will to cut off my meridians and take Gloria away, and if some people are still worried about playing tricks in secret, then don't blame me for being ruthless. The middle-aged scribe said as he spoke, and two strong murderous auras suddenly shot out from his eyes, and there was no trace of the weakness of a scholar on his body.

The old butler coughed twice in a row.

The murderous aura in the eyes of the middle-aged scribe slowly dissipated, and he changed the topic and said: "I really want to thank that kid named Arthur this time, I didn't expect him to be able to enter the Blood Yao Royal Academy, I don't know which force is behind him?"

"I was very optimistic about the little guy at the time. The old butler laughed.

"When you take a thousand gold coins from some of the properties I am responsible for, and send him in a few days to express your gratitude, and invite him to come to your house for a while, say that Lucy and little Nova miss him very much. ”

The old butler was stunned for a moment, "That dark mage can be with him, and you don't have to worry about being implicated and leading you out of the church now?"

The middle-aged scribe smiled, "For thousands of years, why hasn't the church been able to clean up those dark magicians, do you really think that their vitality is strong enough?"

The middle-aged scribe shook his head and replied to himself: "Because there have always been people secretly supporting them behind their backs, the dark mage is a double-edged sword, and if it is used well, it is a sharp blade that kills people invisibly, and if it is not used well, it will hurt itself." Now it's time to take some risks, and both he and that Arthur are worth investing in......"

......

The turmoil outside intensified, and Arthur, the initiator of the incident, was not completely out of the way.

Arthur, who had been sharing the spoils until the middle of the night, was awakened early in the morning by a sharp knock on the door.

The door was halfway open, and a sweaty Morar rushed in.

"Something happened to the enchanted equipment!" Moral's first thoughtless words after entering the house startled Arthur and Arnold.

Arthur grabbed Morar by the collar, "What's going on? How did the church find out?"

"It's not the church, it's the black market. Morar hurriedly waved his hand and explained.

Arthur slowly loosened Moral's collar, and the tight string in his heart gradually loosened, as long as it was not discovered by the church, there was still room for everything.

You speak slowly. ”

"Something happened to the underground trading house that we often ship, they don't know what enemy they have provoked, and they were burned clean last night. Half of our equipment was purchased by them before, and it may not be easy for us to go out in a short period of time. Morar said with a sigh.

", shoot yourself in the foot!" Arthur scolded in annoyance.

Arthur and Arnold were only responsible for the enchantment of the equipment, and Moral was always in charge of the purchase and sales of the black market channel. Arthur only knew that in order to diversify the risk, Moral sold half of his equipment to an underground trading house, and the other half was poured into two or three old fritters who specialized in eating the difference in price on the black market, but the specific consignee never asked. I didn't expect to smash my own business this time, no wonder two of those pieces of equipment look very familiar?

"What is lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?"

"Oh, I mean, I'm also worried that we're shipping too much, too concentrated, and we're worried about being targeted, and even if I don't have that, I'm going to reduce the supply of equipment. ”

Arthur's words were not prevaricating Moral, after several battles in a row, Arthur found that his combat power was still too low, and it was difficult to retreat without some other means, he had decided to put more energy into the cultivation of fighting spirit and magic.

Morar nodded, "It's okay, we've earned enough money to spend recently, and it's really too risky to deal with those people in the black market on a regular basis." ”

Arthur hehe, "Money is never enough to spend, I happen to have a batch of common potions and materials on the market here, you can sell them in our own trading house, and also make up for our loss of income." ”

Morar looked at Arthur with a puzzled look, "How did you get the potion materials?"

"Are you sure you want to know?" said Arthur, looking at Morar with a smirk.

Moral's eyes rolled, and his head immediately shook like a rattle, "I don't want to know anything, and I don't know anything!"

Arthur smiled, what a smart fat man......
