"Hey, what's your name?" The half-elf said a strange soup and said nothing to the bed, a corpse-like girl, "I'm your savior, you're pretending to be a corpse in front of me, I'm thinking about whether to throw you back into the gutter." ”

She turned her face, glanced indifferently at the half-elf, and then aimed the whites of her corpse-like eyes at the ceiling, where there were also portraits of beautiful women, these things obviously could not make her feel anything strange, such a reaction undoubtedly made Arnell feel powerless, he scratched his head, picked up a towel and wiped the traces of soup from the girl's mouth, and then shook his head.

This action made her indifferent eyes a little more dull, she raised a hand, touched the corner of her mouth, but heard a conversation outside the door, one of them was not very unfamiliar.

"Oh, my boss, it's amazing that you deigned to be here. When Arnell saw Penny, he immediately flattered him as if he had become a mouse, and the wizard couldn't help laughing:

"It doesn't seem surprising, Arnell, I just wanted to come and see my port. ”

"Well, my lord, this place has been built, and there are quite a few ships docked these days. Arnell smacked his lips: "It's a lot more lively than before." ”

"It's true that it's not the same alley anymore, but it's still necessary to arrange for some people to fill in the stinky ditches in the back streets. The wizard sniffled, "It smells so weird." ”

Nephis's little wrinkled nose seemed to prove it.

Arnell laughed a few times, and then the sailors outside suddenly shouted: "Rabbit, the ship has entered the harbor, come out quickly." ”

This title made Arnell's face darken, and Nephies next to him covered her mouth and forced a laugh, but the wizard didn't give the half-elf so face, and laughed directly, and the half-elf immediately became a little annoyed and angry, he pushed the door and walked out, shouting at the sailor who called him: "Rabbit? Who is a rabbit? Isn't it just a boat? What is there to make a fuss about?"

"No" The sailors' expressions were obviously a little panicked, and they pointed to the big ship that was entering the harbor in the distance, with a look of fear on their faces: "Sey, Serre's ship"

Arnell looked from afar, and when he saw the iconic red flag on the top of the ship, his pupils suddenly shrank, and Penny walked out of the cabin at this time, and he said hello: "Hey, boss, what should we do?"

With a hint of confusion in his eyes, the wizard looked at the ships docked in the harbor, and finally shook his head: "Don't treat them specially, let them enter the harbor, I have to see who they are." ”

After a while, a few red-robed mages who had stepped off the boat attracted all the attention of the wizards, and he hid his body in the shadows under the eaves without a trace, and watched the two red-robed mages enter the carriage by the harbor, and the confusion in his eyes turned into reminiscence, until Nephis reminded him to come back to his senses.

"Your Excellency. She called softly, shaking the wizard's arm.

"An acquaintance. Penny shook her head, came out of her trance, smiled and touched her little head, "This is interesting, Nephis." ”

"Are they red-robed mages?" Nephies frowned, "Coming against us?"

"Probably that's it, they don't seem to be going to let me sit idle. The mage sighed, "Go back immediately, I have to contact Romnick." ”

Nephies nodded.

"I'll leave it to you, Arnell, to find out what they're all about, oh, don't need those two red-robed mages, just see if there's anything else worth noting. He commanded the half-elf, cast a teleportation spell, and soon disappeared into the harbor, Arnell scratched his head, feeling that the days that had been finally idle seemed to be busy again, and his time to find beautiful women was about to be compressed again.

This undoubtedly bothered him a little, but the thought of the zombie girl who was still lying on his bed pretending to be dead made him even more distressed.

This guy's flat body is obviously far from the beauty, he is full of such complaints, open the door, only to find that this guy is covering the wound on his back, and he is alert to the door, when he walks in, he clearly feels a murderous aura from those indifferent eyes.

This made his heart thump, but fortunately the murderous aura was fleeting, and the eyes soon became as empty as before, but the mouth was no longer silent, and Arnell could feel her gaze shift from his face to his ears, and her vocal cords vibrated stiffly with a few confused voices: ...,

"Rabbit...... Son?"

The half-elf's eyes suddenly darkened.

......

This is not the only port in Serre, there are many guests who have come to the West Gate from all sides of the Dragon Coast these days, after all, the upcoming wedding has already spread in the coastal area, and many other cities have also sent messengers, on the one hand, to show goodwill, but also to see what kind of person this mysterious wizard Pan Diesel who drove away the Night Mask, the messengers of Shanlun City, Bosku City, Taisil City, and Ivanthor City have already arrived, and of course, Starlight City is indispensable.

When the delicate merchant ship entered the harbor, Fina Neil Danrington was still rolling the sheets on the bed in the captain's quarters, and the shock of the hull against the harbor made her turn over, and she grunted irritably, and wrapped her head in the quilt, and Robben, who entered the door, was embarrassed, and had to touch her back with a stick, which made her wake up at once, and she stretched her waist, rubbed her eyes, and sat for a moment, before her sleepy face became sober.

"Miss, here we are. ”

"Arrived, so soon?" she raised out of the corner of her eye, and her voice was weak.

"Yes, miss, you slept for six hours. Robben explained with a smile.

"Six hours. She shook her head: "How could I sleep so long?"

Robben glanced at Fina, put his eyes on the ground, and stopped talking.

This silence reminded Fina that she had been suffering from insomnia for most of the night before she got on the ship, and the reason for her insomnia was nothing more than the incident of being sent to Simon by her family.

Why did you tell your family about the failed business experience?

She felt a pang of annoyance at the thought of Mr. Dan Linton's words.

It's time to see the wizard again, annoying, and she buries her head under her pillow in frustration, like an ostrich.

The gods testified that she never wanted to see the wizard who gave her countless terrifying nightmares again in her life, since returning to Starry City, whenever she fell asleep at night, she had a certain chance of dreaming of this wizard smiling at her, at first she would get up from the bed with a cold face, and the following days were not strange, but when she received the task from her father, she felt her heart beat inexplicably, and a nervous mood of anticipation and some fear made her roll in bed all night without falling asleep, until she got on the boat, she fell asleep physically and mentally exhausted。

What was the feeling?Fear?Expectation?Fina had to admit that when she was given the task, she didn't immediately raise any objections.

So now, her attitude is also businesslike, she scratched her hair: "Woo~ Robben, prepare the carriage and find a hotel, it seems that there are still a few days before that guy gets married." ”

"Miss, the carriage is ready. Robben coughed, and Fina reluctantly climbed out of bed, walked into the dressing room next to her, hastily changed into a few clothes, and walked out of the room with such a worried face.

The cool sea breeze at dusk made Fina a little more sober, and the city of Ximen in spring was obviously a little more vibrant than in winter, at least the land by the harbor was no longer dry yellow but green, and the smell of grass and the salty smell of sea water mixed into a unique taste, and it was obvious that I was bewitched by it.

It's the season to be blessed by Shine.

His mind was filled with what was about to happen, and it wasn't until he stepped on the ground of the harbor that he realized that the city was much cleaner than usual, and he immediately wondered: "Robben, hasn't Simon always been dirty and messy?"

"That's in the past. Robben beckoned to the carriage and replied, "That lord attaches great importance to the so-called cityscape, and this winter in addition to repairing the city, he is basically filling in stinking ditches and building garbage dumps. ”

"Toss. Fina's tone was full of disdain, but sitting in the carriage and seeing the once dilapidated streets and alleys around her, she had to admit: "But it's much better than the last time I came, at least there are no flies that can pounce on me at any time, by the way, what is that?"

She looked at the huge clearing in the center of the port area and was a little strange.

The clearing was surrounded by a circular path, and in the center was a flower-bed, in which stood a bronze statue, and on a high stone base, a relatively small humanoid bronze statue, and when you got closer, you saw that it was a wizard who raised his hand in a spellcasting pose.

"Oh, the citizens who survived the catastrophe have erected a bronze statue of the Night King in honor of his exploits, in honor of his exploits. Robben finished explaining, and when he saw Fina's blue muscles exposed and jumping on her forehead, he suddenly regretted it. ...,

"He's so narcissistic. Fina was furious, and she didn't know where it came from.

This was unanimously agreed upon by Simon's consuls. Robben laughed dryly, and quickly signaled to the coachman to get out of here.

"So, this careerist, megalomaniac, has finally taken the whole of Simon into his pocket?" Leaving the small square, Fina scratched her head, her tone a little helpless.

"Young lady, I should remind you that Mr. Diesel is a hero who is very indifferent to fame and fortune, and although most people in the city listen to him, he rarely interferes in the affairs of the city of Simon, especially concerning the nobles. Some of the coachmen, who couldn't take it anymore, interjected.

"Oh, don't interfere in government affairs, have that lady help him. Fina nodded casually: "He's really, he would marry a woman so much older than him." ”

Speaking of this, the corners of her forehead were exposed again, and the anger in her tone became heavier: "I remember that he still has a confidante." ”

"Don't slander Mr. Diesel. The coachman glared at her through the window, and his tone was very dissatisfied.

"Does he still use slander?". Fina snorted softly.

"Miss...... Ms. Edmont was not yet twenty-four years old, which was not an appropriate age. Robben coughed dryly and whispered in Fina's ear, "And we must remember the purpose of our coming here, and take those little tempers for the time being, my young lady." ”

A little temper?

Fina frowned, and suddenly realized that she was indeed in a temper tantrum, and since she learned about Simon, she had not been in a very good mood.

Feeling a little bored by this discovery, she closed her mouth and began to observe the scenery around her.

Compared to the former West Gate City, the city has changed a lot, and the tall gray castle in the center of the city has disappeared, replaced by a small three-story building painted white, which looks quite abrupt.

"Greycastle is gone?" Fina, noticing this, raised her eyebrows, and asked.

"Yes, after the Great War, the Grey Fort was demolished, and it could not be rebuilt for a while, so a new building was erected as a place for the Council of Nobles to handle government affairs, and the wedding would be held here. Robben said, "This place is now called the White House." ”

"The White House?" Fina frowned even more as she looked at the building.

......

"Your Excellency. Through the mirror, Elvin Romnik's gloomy expression could be seen, which made Penny's mood also feel bad, in fact, after returning to the Mage Tower, he felt that most of his connection with the concession had been severed.

Most of the magical devices he had set up in the Concession Mage Tower to teleport had been demolished, and his mood was even worse when he established contact with Romnik.

Because the former consul of the Concession is now hiding in a shabby room and communicating with him with a hidden magic mirror, it is conceivable that the arrival of that Del Songpaya has made things a little worse.

"I've destroyed everything in the Mage Tower that has anything to do with you, my dear lord, Lord Paya's attitude is very tough, and I dare not be too rude. Elvin Romnik looked gloomy: "This is all a measure of last resort. ”

"I can understand what you're doing, Romnick, and you need to deal with him during this time. Penny nodded, and suddenly frowned: "How can this be? The wealth that the concession has provided to that chief during this period does not seem to have shrunk. ”

This is exactly what he feels different, although under his manipulation the Searle Concession is not yet open openly, but the income has not been much less, you know, he has set up a factory for the Coastal Wizards Association, but also imported a large amount of raw materials from the Searle Concession, for the Searle Concession, this income is not only enough to break even, but also a large surplus.

At least according to his allotted share to the Serre country, Duxusrem should not be aware of the abnormality.

It can only be that it was tossed too much some time ago, so that it attracted the attention of China.

The situation was tricky for Penny, and it was not a good idea to cut through the mess quickly, but it was definitely not a good idea.

At this time, the solution should be to minimize the attention of the country, if you kill this guy rashly, it is clearly equivalent to telling the country: Simon has a problem here. ...,

Although one or two archmages have been recruited, Penny is not very afraid now, but a lot of trouble is still indispensable, and more things are better than less.

Therefore, it is the best policy to swallow your anger and send this plague god away as soon as possible.

Not to mention at this sensitive juncture.

As for control, the idea is not necessarily impossible, but Penny is not sure that it will work 100% of the time.

With the hatred between Del Songpaya and him, if he breaks the kettle and chooses to die together, then the result will not be good.

Not only did he think so, but so did Elvin Romnick.

But he was willing to give up, not because Lord Del Songpaya thought the same way, and when he arrived at the concession, he found nothing wrong with the ledger - Penny had always been very careful about this aspect, whether it was buying and selling magical artifacts on a daily basis, or having to wholesale raw materials to the Wizards of the Coast Society.

He did not rest on his laurels without checking the information in his accounts, and in the eyes of Lord Del Sunpaya, it was rare to gain the trust of Master Duxusrem, and he was so sorry for this opportunity to do a good job - you know, he was now in need of merit to regain the position he had lost.

Therefore, it is necessary to show off your talents to your immediate superiors through this task.

So that this opportunity will not be wasted.

So, to put it bluntly, he does things with a vision of finding faults, which of course makes Lord Elvin Romnik bitter.

There is no fault in the accounting, but there are many problems in other places, especially after the wizard's big move:

"Oh, Lord Romnik, are you telling me that you are an idiot, and that you have caused a conflict with the Simon government without informing the country. ”

"My lord, I can't help it, those nobles may be controlled by vampires, if I don't take strong measures, then the vampire actions of the idea of fighting the concession will become more and more presumptuous. Romnik had already responded: "I have to intimidate them. ”

"Deter them? Okay, you're so wise and decisive. As if convinced, Del Songpaya nodded, but his attitude of finding fault did not diminish in the slightest: "But what is the matter now? Tell me, dear Romnik Concession has not been opened for several months, are you sitting on the savings of the warehouse? ”

"Well, dear Lord Paya, I've worked hard to run the base, and in the days when the concession was closed, I sold a lot of materials to the Wizards of the Coast through smugglers, and the profits did not decrease. ”

The "raw materials" finally caught the mistake, and Del Songpaya angrily smashed the ledger in his hand on the table: "Those third-rate wizards are opening factories, and you are supplying them with raw materials to raise them to rob the concession business? Is this a joke? Elvin Romnik Temporary Consul? Who is dear to you?" ”

"But it's a last resort. Romnik was sweating profusely: "Lord Paya, according to our agreement with the Simon Council, in this way, in another six months, the concession can be reopened. ”

"Half a year?" Del Songpaya sneered: "Half a year, when the time comes, we will have to face business competition with that bullshit association, and it is said that the ghost has also put that little black market business on the table, okay, Mr. Romnick, Lord Rem has given you the trust to attract so many business competitors to the Ximen Concession?"

Romnik was dumbfounded and speechless.

"So you're fired, dear Romnick. Del Songpaya and the red-robed mage who came from the same boat behind him looked at each other and nodded to Romnik, "Until I finish my investigation, you need to work together to mitigate your guilt." ”

Romnik's face was pale, his eyes kept wandering and staring at the ground, as if he was very humble, but he knew in his heart that this state of affairs might not be good.

"In addition, we need to take measures to crack down on competitors and establish new ties with the political forces of Simon. Del Songpaya stared at Romnik and suddenly had an idea.

To alleviate the sharp conflict with the Simon nobles, there is no doubt that someone needs to be responsible for the kidnapping, and this guy seems to be such an excellent scapegoat.

He kept the idea in his mind and picked up another piece of information: "Also, who is this guy named Pan Diesel? It is said that he shattered the mask of the night and became the new uncrowned king of Simon City......? He seems to be ...... with us A little bit of a relationship?"

The corners of Delsongpaya's mouth and eyes, who had received more information, twisted together.

At the same time, Romnick's expression was distorted...... ，
