As the trade master of the Red Robe Mage Guild in the Ximen Concession, Elvin 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 red-robed mage in the hearts of ordinary Faren people.

Of course, 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, of course, if you add a goatee to your chin and a pair of white eyebrows, you can interpret the word "harmony and wealth" to the pinnacle, but now the image of the red robe and bald head makes him look a little weird.

"Are you saying that Lady Edmont is interested in the new port?" he heard the waiter's message, and the strange face showed an equally strange look of consternation.

"Yes, my lord, and she invited you to her mansion. ”

"...... so," Elvin Romnik's brow furrowed, his eyes rolling in hesitation.

Like the other red-robed mages, he was a very cautious person, and this sudden invitation would certainly make him suspicious.

You must know that as the ninth nobleman in the history of Ximen City, Edmund has always been not well-fed, and he does not have much voice in the ruling committee, nor does he often speak out, but he is just doing business, but this family has always been low-key and has a certain weight in many fields such as foreign trade, although not much, but also 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 Searle Concession, so for Elwin Romnick, Miss Edmont, 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, and according to the family's usual focus on business, this explanation is not incomprehensible, 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 believed that this idea was justified, because by opening a special port, those who provided the subsidy would inevitably receive dividends, and the annual trade volume of the Seyre Concession was nothing compared to the total trade volume of Simon. It is precisely because of this that Elvin Romnik's idea did not arouse the interest of the great nobles who had communicated with him 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 profit, in the current Faeron, establishing too deep a relationship with the Red Robe Mage Society is still a matter that is easy to be suspicious of, and may attract danger, especially for the big nobles with heads and faces.

In the past few days, he has been worrying about this matter, you must know that with the magic items from the Yin in the underground black market, it has had a big impact on the trade volume of the Searle Concession, compared to Searle's products, these Yin Soul products have incomparable advantages: the cost and freight are low, and the manufacturing process is not bad.

What's even more fatal is that limited to the contract with the local political axe, the Serre Concession does not sell those magic items that may cause sensitive events to the outside world, such as mind control items, high-destruction surname plastic energy magic items, necromantic magic items, invisible camouflage items, etc., but those ghost products sold on the black market do not have this taboo.

In this case, the Searle Concession is losing customers every year, although it is still profitable, but compared to the period when the Ghost City did not appear ten years ago, the profit amount has not increased as it should be.

This was obviously a headache for the administrators of the Concession, who were not yet willing to come into direct conflict with the Wraiths, who were far from the Ionok Desert much shorter than the distance to Serre, and the power that the Wraiths could call upon was much stronger.

To this end, the leaders of the concession proposed a response to reduce costs, in addition to squeezing apprentices in the factories more harshly, and if only a dedicated shipping route could be opened.

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, Selknight Dean, four oxen and horses, and two apprentices, and rode to Edmont House in a carriage.

As a red-robed mage from a country of struggle, Erwin Romnik naturally will not let his guard down, and there are still many forces in the region of 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 Lansender - although there are only a few ordinary priests in it, 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.

With these precautions in place, Lord Romnick followed the attendant into the door of the Edmont Mansion and into a secluded courtyard.

Such a small garden with birds and flowers made the red-robed mage feel refreshed, and the noble lady sitting in the distance was bright.

Edmont's eldest lady is really a rare beauty, although she has had a few faces, but she is not impressed, and now she looks carefully and has a deeper admiration.

Compared to the women of Serre, the women of the Dragon Coast are indeed much more refined.

However, compared to when I saw it at a noble banquet a few days ago, this young lady seems to have gained some weight, 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 shuttling between men, even if she is clean, she will at least be polite to the compliments of others, and will never show such a disgusted look.

As a half-professional businessman, Elvin Romnik was very good at reading words, so he was puzzled, the lady didn't seem to be quite a mall veteran, and spoke in the same tone: "Oh, I am really surprised by your compliment, I have never felt this face so beautiful since I had this look, dear Lord Romnik, 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, made a judgment through this paragraph, and had a foundation in his heart, although this kind of woman is very boring, but she is a good object for business negotiations, but the other party's words made him have new doubts: "Ms. Vika, your desperate tone sounds very pure, 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." ”

Romnick was even more suspicious, for he was becoming more and more unable to see through the woman's surname, and he had just noticed that the woman's expression had visibly stiffened when he questioned her sophistication, and the latter words seemed to indicate her empathy, 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.

"Ahem. As he was suspicious, the woman coughed softly, and a little girl dressed as a cute maid came 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 Edmont, and handed it to him, but was caught by the wary Searle Knight.

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 bother you with." 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 beside him also noticed that the little maid with the red wine raised her hand and pulled 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 Serl 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's pulled out an amazingly large sword from behind the decorative tree next to her, and what was even more amazing was that this delicate eldest lady wielded the giant sword with incredible speed and power, and a sweep sent the Searle Knight flying away with the sword, and then penetrated Romnik's already collapsed spell protection, and the sharp red 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 swooped up, but he struggled with the woman with the greatsword, and at this time, the other guards and apprentices at the garden gate 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 fell to the ground softly, and after a few seconds, began to snore.

The Searle Knight Dean, who was fighting with the 'Lady Vika' armed with a 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 thunderbolts, 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, this Lady Vica was much more graceful than the greatsword-wielding 'Lady Vika', and the previous Lady Vicka's forcible grace had been swept away after her fierce battle and rage.

Penny smiled and pulled out a wand and pointed at the sword-wielding Vika's face, which immediately melted in a flash of light, revealing another face that was equally beautiful.

"Don't let me do this kind of thing again. Lanny thrust her greatsword into the ground, holding the hilt of her sword in both hands, and snorted, "Pretending to be her, that delicate and contrived tone is disgusting to say." ”

The wizard shrugged his shoulders, Vika covered her mouth and smiled softly, and ordered the attendants to put all the people who were hypnotized to the ground in the dungeon, and suddenly there was a burst of screams from the side, and Penny turned his head to see Nephiss in a maid's outfit holding a knife in his hand, slashing around the head of the red-robed mage who fell to the ground, and the bloody misery made Penny and the two women shudder.

The look of concentration on the little girl's face made people's hearts feel even more cold, and she used her knife to cut Romnik's head into a bloody blur, and continued to cut the body of the red-robed mage, as if she was doing an extremely delicate work.

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. Nephes lifted her blood-stained face and wiped the blood with one sleeve, but with the other hand, she stabbed Romnick into her thigh, and Penny could clearly hear the sound of the blade hitting the leg bone, and he couldn't help but stand upside down.

Although Nephess has a good reason, such a scene is really terrifying.

Romnik moaned 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 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 shrunk 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 unprecedentedly loud scream, blood splattering 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 severe pain could not make him unconscious.

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 adults, she thought so, and plunged her head into Lanny's chest, and several people began to approach and look down at this middle-aged red-robed man with blurred flesh and blood, the chief trader of the Serge Concession.

"Who are you?" the howl was followed by a feeble moan, and Elvin Romnick opened his dimly lit eyes and blurred his gaze at the men and women standing nearby.

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." ”

Penny Sean, Pan...... It turned out to be you......" Romnik narrowed his eyes and groaned in pain, looking at the mage's face: "It turned out to be you......"

Of course, he knew this person, even in the Ximen Concession, which had not been in frequent contact with China, and was certainly not unfamiliar with the name of this popular figure in Searle recently.

"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 magic healing, although it can still play a certain role, but if these limbs are separated from the body for too long, I'm not sure if the magic will be able to connect them intact." ”

A wizard, even telling others the most budding form of the methodology, is equivalent to surrendering, in this case, the wizard who knows the object's methodology only needs to set a few spells, and the fate of the other party can be held between applause.

Under normal circumstances, of course, no wizard would be stupid enough to divulge the methodology.

But now Lord Romnik obviously has no other choice.

"Quick, I need to heal ......" The stinging pain of the wound began to turn to tingling, and his moans became longer and more painful.
