242 Ambush
As the head of the trade of the Red Robe Mage Guild in the Ximen Concession, Erwin Romnik is a generous person, and the so-called generosity means that he spends money when he goes in and out of various occasions, which is extremely bold, which is completely different from the image of the red robe mage in the hearts of ordinary Faren people.
After all, the Searles can't carry out business activities with knives and guns in their hands, so the red-robed mages who serve as trade principals must have some special requirements, at least not like the red-robed mages in Searle's country.
Of course, as a red-robed mage, Romnik should have a lot of it, but he was used to hiding the scheming of those red-robed mages under that businessman-like smile.
He also looked like a pure businessman, and if he added a goatee to his chin and a pair of white eyebrows, he would be able to interpret the word "harmony and wealth" even better, and now the image of the red robe and bald head made him look a little weird.
"Are you saying that the eldest lady of Ed Méngt is interested in the matter of the new port?" he heard the news from the shì, and the strange face of the shù showed an equally strange look of consternation.
"Yes, my lord, and she invited you to her mansion. ”
"That's it," Elvin Romnik's brow furrowed, his eyes rolling in hesitation.
Like the other red-robed mages, he was a very fearful person, and this sudden invitation would certainly make him suspicious.
You must know that as the ninth nobleman in the history of Simon City, Ed Méngt has always been not well-mand, and he does not have much say in the ruling committee, nor does he often speak out, but he is just doing business with his head bored, but this family has a certain weight in many fields such as foreign trade, although it is not much, but it is not a lot.
The point is that the family has never been very interested in the trade of magical items, and has not had any contact with the Serre Concession, so for Elwin Romnik, the eldest lady Ed Méng, who has now sent him an invitation, is a person who is not impressed.
Could it be that the family was anxious to expand its influence and expand its trade in this area?
His bare eyebrows slumped, according to the family's usual style of focusing on business, this explanation is not unreasonable, it is said that the eldest lady who is in charge of affairs also has a good impression of Searle, and has been to Searle before.
Thinking of this, he felt a little less wary and suspicious in his heart.
And he also believes that this idea is reasonable, because if a special port is opened, those who provide financial support will inevitably receive dividends, and although the annual trade volume of the Serre Concession is nothing compared to the total trade volume of Simon, it is precisely because of this that Elwin Romnik's idea did not arouse the interest of those great nobles who had communicated before, and established a commercial alliance with the Red Robe Mage Society, although the Dragon Coast is a region that believes in the supremacy of interests, but in the current Faeron, establishing an overly deep relationship with the Red Robe Mage Society is still a matter that is easy to be suspicious, and it may lead to danger, especially for the big nobles with heads and faces。
He has been worrying about this matter for the past few days, knowing that with the magic items from yīnhún in the underground black market, it has caused a lot of impact on the trade volume of the Seer Concession, compared to Seyle's products, these yīnhún products have incomparable advantages: the cost and freight are low, and the manufacturing process is not bad.
What's more fatal is that limited to the contract with the local government, the Salere Concession does not sell those magic items that may cause sensitive events to the outside world, such as mind control huò items, high-destruction xìng plastic energy magic items, necromantic magic items, invisible camouflage items, etc., but those yīnhún products sold on the black market do not have this taboo.
In this case, the Serre Concession is losing customers every year, although it is still profitable, but compared to ten years ago, when the city of Yīnhún did not exist, the amount of profit has not increased as it should be.
This obviously gave the managers of the concession a headache, and here they were not yet willing to talk to yīnhún,
In direct conflict, the distance between the West Gate and the Ionok Desert is much shorter than the distance to Serre, and the power that the Yīnhúns can call upon is much stronger.
The concession leaders proposed a response to reduce costs, in addition to squeezing apprentices in the factories more severely, if only a dedicated shipping route could be created.
But whether it is building a port or building a ship, it requires the full cooperation of the locals, and given the fame of the red-robed mage, there are really not many people who dare to carry out comprehensive cooperation with them.
This may be an opportunity. ,
As the master of trade, Erwin Romnik's only duty was to increase the income of the concession, so he did not hesitate to take his bodyguard, the knight of Serre, Dean, and four oxen and horses, plus two apprentices, and rode to Ed Méngt House in a carriage.
As a red-robed mage born in a country of struggle, Erwin Romnik naturally will not let his guard down, there are still many forces in Faeron that have a hostile attitude towards red-robed mages, even in the sewage-filled West Gate, there are still temples in the temple area of Suren and Lansendel, although there are only a few ordinary priests in them, but it is enough to remind the red-robed mages in the concession to be vigilant at all times.
In addition, there is a well-trained agent who follows him and immediately returns to inform the concession if he has an accident, so that they can be prepared.
This is not aimed at anything, but just the most basic self-protection measure for the red-robed mage walking outside of Searle.
Under these protective measures, Lord Romnik followed the shì into the gates of Ed Méng's mansion and into a secluded courtyard.
Such a small huā garden with a fragrant bird made the red-robed mage feel relaxed and happy, and the noble people sitting in the distance were brightened.
The eldest lady of Ed Méng is really a rare beauty, although she has had a few encounters, but she is not impressed. Now that I look closely, I have a deeper admiration.
Compared to the women of Serre, the women of the Dragon Coast are indeed much more refined.
However, compared to a few days ago at a noble banquet, this young lady seems to be a little fatter, is it an illusion?
Romnick also felt funny about his thoughts, a woman who was not impressed, where would he be so sensitive to the other party's fatness?
He shook his head and sat down under the escort of the Searle Knights.
"It's been a long time since I've wanted to see you, Ms. Vika, you're as beautiful as ever. He complimented in the tone of a businessman, but found that the woman did not seem to be happy with his compliment, but frowned slightly, and seemed to be a little disgusted.
This made him a little incredible, a woman who has been in the mall for a long time, who is not a veteran of piercing the edges between a group of men, even if she is clean, she will at least be polite to the compliments of others, and will never lù such a disgusted look.
As a half-professional businessman, Ervin Romnick was very good at observing words, so he was sleepy, and the lady didn't seem to be quite a mall veteran, and spoke in the same tone: "Oh, what a compliment you have surprised me, I have never felt this face so beautiful since I had this look, dear Lord Romnick, don't forget that we are here to talk about business, and this is the subject of today." ”
This may be a woman who is focused on business......
Romnick frowned, and made a judgment through this paragraph, and he had a foundation in his heart, although this kind of woman was very boring, but she was a good person to negotiate business, but the other party's words made him have new doubts: "Lady Vika, your desperate tone sounds very pure, and it really makes me feel very kind." ”
"It's nothing. The woman said lightly, "I've been to Serre before, and even though it's a terrible country, speaking in this tone seems to reduce the communication barrier between us." Romnik was even more suspicious, for he was becoming more and more unable to see through the woman's character, and he had just noticed that the woman's expression had stiffened visibly as he questioned her sophistication, and the latter words seemed to indicate her understanding, but contradicted his judgment just now.
Because the initial conversation told him that this woman was a business freak, it was hard to imagine that such a woman would be empathetic.
When he was suspicious, the woman covered her mouth and coughed softly, and a little girl dressed in a cute maid costume walked in with a tray.
The corked red wine on the tray, with two crystal glasses on either side, looked quite valuable at first glance, but it was the little girl who caught Romnick's attention.
The girl, who was ten years old at most, looked a little weak, but with a sweet smile on her face, she laid down the tray, uncorked it, poured two glasses of red wine, put it in front of Miss Edméng, and handed it to him, but was caught by the wary Knight Serre.
The woman glanced faintly at the guard beside Romnik, picked up the cup and took a sip gently, Romnik smiled, took the cup from the hand of the Selknight, and gently placed it on the table: "Ms. Vika, we should be able to start talking about business." ”,
Anyway, he's here for business, "Of course, but before that, I have a few things to trouble you." The eldest lady put down the crystal cup and looked at Romnick's face.
This sentence made Romnik's expression stiffen suddenly, and the Searle Knight next to him also noticed that the little Nbu with red wine raised his hand and took out a wand, and touched Romnick's robe at a very close distance.
"Ambush!" Romnik reacted instantly, but the protection outside his body had already begun to crumble, and his Searle Knight roared angrily, swinging his long sword and slashing at the little girl's head, and at the same time, wearing a long skirt, he had been graceful and luxurious. Lady Vika, however, pulled out an amazingly large sword from behind the decorative tree next to her, and what was even more amazing was that the speed and strength of this eldest lady wielding the giant sword was amazing, and a sweep flew away with the sword of the Searle Knight, and then penetrated the spell protection that Romnik had collapsed, and the sharp red sword blade was scorching, instantly cutting off one of the arms of the red-robed mage.
Romnik let out a howl, the great pain made his mind blank for a moment, and the loyal protector of the knight sel, seeing this, pounced on him, but he struggled with the woman with the giant sword, and at this time, the other guards and apprentices at the gate of Huā also heard the screams of their master and rushed into the courtyard, but a figure appeared out of thin air behind them, and an arcane power was released in his hands, these people rolled their eyes, and they fell to the ground softly, and after a few seconds, began to make jiān sounds.
Lady Vika, who was fighting with the giant sword, heard the change, and before he could turn back, his heart was in sharp pain, and his ears were filled with the sound of a thunderbolt, and he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
The giant sword slashed vertically downward, and was about to take the life of this Searle knight, but the hand wielding the sword was pulled by the white-robed young wizard who appeared: "Don't kill him, we want to live." ”
She glanced at Penny with annoyed indignation and rubbed her face, "Quick, you bastard, turn me back at once." ”
"Isn't this face pretty?" another woman, who was also richly dressed but had an identical face, smiled and spun out from behind a tree, much more graceful than the greatsword-wielding "Vika Nufeng", who had a much more graceful temperament, and the previous Vika Lady, whose forcible grace had been swept away after her jī battle and rage.
Penny smiled slightly, and pulled out a wand and pointed at the sword-wielding Vika's face, which immediately dissolved in a flash of light, revealing another face that was equally beautiful.
"I hope I won't be asked to do this kind of thing again. Lannie thrust her giant sword into the ground, holding the hilt of her sword with both hands, and snorted, "Pretending to be her, that kind of jiāo soft and contrived tone is disgusting to say." ”
The wizard shrugged her shoulders, Vika covered her mouth and smiled softly, and ordered Shì to put all the people who had been hypnotized to the ground into the dungeon, and there were bursts of screams next to him, and Penny turned his head to see Nephis, dressed as a maid, holding a knife in her hand, and slashing on the head of the red-robed mage who fell to the ground... Let's row... Go, the bloody scene made Penny and the two women shudder.
And the focused expression on the little girl's face made people's hearts feel cold for a while, and she slashed Romnick's head with a knife... The flesh was blurred, and he continued to cut through the body of the red-robed mage, as if he was doing an extremely precise job.
Vika quietly turned her head away, she had just come into contact with Nephis, and this was the first time she had come into contact with such a cruel side of this thin, cute little girl, and she couldn't help but feel a little unacceptable.
And Penny is also a little puzzled, although this little girl is full of bad water and kills without blinking, she is not a person with a penchant for abuse and murder.
"What are you doing, Nephi?" he frowned and leaned closer.
"My lord, you must destroy the tattoos on his body, these magic tattoos are likely to have spells placed in them that can help him escape. Nephies raised her blood-stained little face and wiped the blood with one sleeve, but with the other hand, she stabbed into Romnik's big tuǐ fiercely, and Penny could clearly hear the sound of the blade hitting the tuǐ bone, and he couldn't help but stand upside down.
Although Nephess has a good reason, such a scene is really terrifying.
Romnik groaned weakly, from just now, he tried to escape with a teleportation spell, but he was cut off an arm, and he didn't have to think about it to lead the spell, and the tattoos on his body were also destroyed one by one by this little girl who looked harmless to humans and animals, he slightly retracted the index finger of his other hand, on which was his only remaining teleportation ring, and it was also his last magic weapon to save his life, he hid his hand under his body, trying to cover the light emitted by this ring, and sent himself to escape. ,
However, this girl's eyes were much sharper than he imagined, since she took the initiative to take on the work of supervising prisoners of war, she kept a close eye on every movement of this red-robed mage, she saw him hide his hand, she couldn't help but say, directly stabbed into the wrist of the red-robed mage, he howled miserably, and his five fingers opened in unison between the great pain, Nephis saw that the ring on his middle finger began to flash, and the knife flashed in his hand, and the finger was completely separated from the palm, and the glimmer of the ring was extinguished.
Romnik let out an unprecedented scream, blood splattered from the wounds all over his body, even in the dangerous Red Robe Academy, he had never endured such great pain, and what made him even more painful was that even such a sharp pain could not make him faint.
As a mage whose methodology has sprouted, his mind is far clearer than that of ordinary people, supported by the power of a high degree of harmony.
Nephis learned her lesson and scavenged everything that looked like magic from the bloody Romnick, even the robes were cut into a beggar's outfit, and ran back to Penny's side, and when she saw the wizard's face, she shrunk her neck and stuck out her tongue, knowing that she had shown Penny the last thing she wanted to see, so she turned and shrunk into Lanny's arms.
She didn't feel anything wrong in her heart, all this was for the sake of the adults, she thought so, and plunged her head into the middle of Lannie's xiōng chamber, and several people began to approach and look down at this bloody middle-aged red-robed man, the trade chief of the Serge Concession.
"Who are you?" The climax of the howl was followed by a feeble shēn, and Elvin Romnik opened his faintly lit eyes and blurred his gaze at the men and women standing in front of him.
was besieged and plotted for no apparent reason, of course he had to figure out the reason.
"You don't know me, honorable Lord Romnik. Penny spoke unhurriedly, "But my name is Pennessian, and you shouldn't have heard of it." ”
"Pennessian, Pan turned out to be you" Romnik narrowed his eyes and groaned in pain, looking at the mage's face: "It's you......"
Of course he knew this person, even in the Ximen Concession, which was not very connected with China, he was certainly not unfamiliar with the name of this popular figure in Searle.
"Listen, tell me the methodology or die. Penny looked at the fingers and arms on the ground that were detached from Romnik's body, and spread his hands: "Of course, you also have time to think about it, but you should know that we spellcasters are more or less resistant to divine healing, although it can still play a certain role, but if these limbs are separated from the body for too long, I am not sure if the divine magic can connect them intact." ”
A wizard who tells someone even the most budding form of the methodology is equivalent to surrendering, and in this case, the wizard who knows the object's methodology only needs to set a few spells to control the fate of the object between applause.
Under normal circumstances, of course, no wizard would be stupid enough to leak out the methodology.
However, the current Romnik Yato clearly has no choice.
"Quick, I need healing" The stinging pain of the wound began to turn into a tingling itch, and his shēn groans became longer and more painful. !。
