Walking out of the Edmont Mansion, Elvin Romnik felt as if he had stepped out of hell.

His face was pale, the sweat was already running down his body, and he could still hear the sound of blood flowing through his dry veins.

The sound of blood flowing through the base of his left index finger on his right upper arm still sounded a little unnatural to him, but it was more of an illusion of his ability, because normal people couldn't hear it.

All in all, he was nervous.

Especially when he thought about what happened in this mansion, he was even more nervous.

"Your Excellency, you look a little uncomfortable. His loyal Knight Serge sent a concerned greeting.

Romnick grinned back, as if he wanted to laugh, but the expression he made was noticeably more ugly than crying.

There was no one less of his men behind him, and they acted as usual, as if nothing had happened in the mansion, because these people had been brainwashed under the spell of a certain wizard, and he, the master, could only be forced to cooperate with this work.

The Lord in charge does not want to die, he has money and power in the Ximen Concession, and the situation of struggle is far less dangerous than in the country, he lives here, and he is by no means here to look for death, and if he did not give in just now, he will now be a mutilated corpse.

No Serl would die for loyalty to a Chief.

What's more, those chiefs have nothing to do with Lord Romnick for a dime, and this matter is simply an unwarranted disaster for Romnick.

Who is Penny Sean? According to rumors, this is the most outstanding young man in the past thirty years, but for unclear reasons, he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the two chief lords in power at the same time, and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, and the other chiefs, apparently curious about the reason, have sent price codes in the shadows, offering rewards for the arrest of key criminals.

However, there was no news for a while, and many people thought that this man might have left Serge, but God knows if he would come to Simon?

As soon as he thought of this, Lord Romnik, who had suffered an inexplicable misfortune, wanted to cry without tears.

His subordinates didn't know what was wrong with the adult, but they could see that something was wrong with the lord now, but they were also afraid that they would say the wrong thing, so they simply continued to remain silent, and just returned all the way back to the Serre Concession.

"Lord Romnick. As soon as he entered the concession, an apprentice came up: "Lord Harrot has summoned all the adults to his meeting hall. ”

"Harrot? Romnik raised an eyebrow, nodded, and walked towards the tallest building in the concession.

At this time, the apprehension in his heart has passed, things have reached that point, no matter how much he thinks about it, it is no different, the methodology has been handed over, and now he can only work in secret for that person.

Therefore, he looked the same as usual now, except for the smile on his face that was two points less, but if it were not for the acquaintance who knew him very well, no one else could see anything, and in the concession, the only acquaintance who knew Romnik extremely well was his wife.

There are three red-robed mages in the leadership of the concession, and Romnik is just one of them, and the Harrot who convened the meeting is the most powerful one among them, that is, the 'Kazak' of the entire trade concession, which can also be equated with the chief executive of the lingua franca, he controls the personnel and power of the concession, and is the real leader of the concession.

This is a pale-skinned middle-aged spellcaster, with deep-set eye sockets, looking very gloomy, although he does not show his strength, but Romnik knows that the strength of this adult is above most of the Ring Mentors, although he may not have the qualifications of the High Ring Masters, but the casting ability has at least reached the sixth ring.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the supreme power in the concession is in charge.

Another member of the leadership also arrived early, this red-robed mage's complexion was slightly dark, but his eyes were shining and very penetrating, and when Romnik saw these eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, and his heart beat slightly.

The reason is very simple, this person has spies and intelligence inside and outside the stronghold, although he, the head of trade, is in charge of the finances of the entire stronghold, but in the face of this guy, he is still very unconfident.

Especially now, he has lost some of his loyalty to this stronghold to some extent, and he has a ghost in his heart, so he is naturally even more uncomfortable in the face of this spy leader.

Seeing Romnick enter the conference room, the two adults nodded at him, even if they had said hello, seeing that the trade director was seated, Harrot coughed lightly and turned to the spy leader on the side: "Since Romnik has arrived, Lumiesen, you can say what you want to say." ”

Romnik's gaze turned to the spy leader, his brow furrowed slightly, and he began to wonder what kind of thing this spy leader would gather the people in power in the concession so solemnly to discuss together.

If it's an ordinary thing, you don't have to take it seriously.

This concession belongs to Duxusrim, and the leadership has not yet been infiltrated by other forces in the country, but the red-robed mages in power are not too united, and in most cases they do their own things - this seems to be a common problem of red-robed mages, and a matter that needs to gather the leaders of the concession to discuss must have considerable weight.

So he drew attention.

"Oh, that's right, I've got some information here, Lord Romnick, Lord Harrot, you take a look at it first. The spy leader pulled out a wad of illustrated parchment and handed it to Harrot, who had finished reading it, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and the information reached Romnick, who read two pages and his pupils shrank sharply.

"This person's name is Pan Diesel, a mage who has just entered the Wizards Association of the Coast, his origin is very mysterious, I can't find out this person's past resume through ordinary channels, two adults, you have also seen that this person has a very high arcane attainment, an arcane master who may cast a five-ring spell, it is impossible for him to appear out of thin air, not to mention, he looks so young......" The spy leader Lumison explained in an unhurried tone, his voice was a little sharp, but it didn't sound very clear, as if it had some rat crawling noise, as if it was the sequelae of the habit of whispering and talking: "Well, although it is difficult to determine the specific age of a wizard by appearance, these intuitive impressions are enough to make us guess that this wizard may have been disguised, and this morning, I collected some very noteworthy rumors." ”

"Rumors?" Harrot's tone was confused, but Romnick knew a little about the spy leader's intentions, and his heart was quick to calculate.

If Penny Sean had been in trouble because of the Serre Concession, he would definitely not have ended well, and Master Romnik knew this very well, because most red-robed mages acted in this way, so why would Penny Sean be an exception?

"This wizard has a Searle accent, and his characteristics are also the same as the 'genius' who caused the trend in China some time ago," a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner ......of Lu Misen's mouth: "Very similar." ”

"Could he be Penny Sean?" Harrot cupped his chin.

"Possibly, just maybe, but I'm not sure yet, so I feel compelled to discuss it with you. Lumison's fingers swiped slightly across the table, gesturing symbols that no one could read but him, as if to symbolize some kind of secrecy: "If he really is Pennessian, this is not a small matter." ”

Harrot lowered his eyelids slightly, and remained silent at the ticking of the wall clock behind him, until a moment later, he opened his eyes: "...... Lord Duxusrem is interested in this man, and we should take action, but I don't think anyone in the concession can deal with him, at least not for sure. ”

Although Penisian's affairs have not long passed, now the wizards of all sizes in the Red Robe Mage Guild have some understanding.

After all, it is not good to survive in such an organization, and not to be sensitive to news, especially in the trade concession, although the internal conflict is not as sharp as in Serre, but it will still be affected by the image of the domestic situation, so it is necessary to be aware of the big and small news at home and abroad.

Although this mage who was born out of nowhere was once famous for his talent in a small area, it was only recently that he became famous because of the affairs of several chiefs in the country, and for many mid-level and low-level members of the Red Robe Mage Society, this guy named Penny Sean had a mysterious cloak on his body.

And being able to make several chiefs so jealous is definitely not easy to provoke, and of course it will also discourage some red-robed mages who are not willing to cause trouble.

Harrot is a veteran Mentor of the Ring, but he doesn't really like to fight, so he doesn't want to use violent means to solve problems - a common style shared by most red-robed mages who run the Trade Concession.

At the beginning of the Searls' development of the magic goods trade, their unscrupulous competitive style caused them to suffer a lot, so now the Searles who trade in the outside world are mostly less angular.

Therefore, the news brought by Lumison was a great headache for Lord Harrot.

But if the news is true, he will have to endure such a headache, because their main investor, Duxusrim, will obviously not let go of this piece of information, and if the concession does not take action, it will inevitably be dissatisfied with the chief minister.

"Don't worry, two adults, you can take your time. Romnick had some thought and whispered, "We haven't identified him yet. ”

Harrot and Lumison nodded in unison.

"Tell me, Loomisen, how do we know for sure?" Harrot asked the veteran spy in the colony.

"There was no other way but to bring a portrait to compare, but he must have done a disguise...... Scouts in general, it seems difficult to see through, so ...... I had to go out myself. Lu Misen groaned and said: "Actually, this is not enough insurance, although I have a special detection spell that can see through the disguise from a very long distance, but with my own strength, I am not very sure." ”

In the face of Penny Sean's glorious name, the spy boss is obviously lacking in confidence.

"I think I can help you. Romnick rolled his eyes and spoke.

"You...... Well, that's a good idea. Lumison's eyes flickered and he nodded.

Two mages to guide the simple ring method is enough to greatly increase the success rate of the spell, and if you add a few apprentices, it will naturally be easier.

"That's good. Harrow nodded, and the matter was settled, and he stood up and was about to walk away, when Romnick suggested again:

"Wait, two adults, don't inform Searle until the matter is decided. Romnick said: "We are not strong enough, we may not be able to seize this opportunity, there will inevitably be eyes and ears from other chiefs in the lower echelons of the concession, we must first plug their ears, otherwise the news will spread to the country, it is likely to attract other chiefs to intervene." ”

Harrot and Lumison were stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly, deeply convinced.

Although the leaders of the concessions invested and built by a single family must belong to the same power, and in the vast majority of cases, their loyalty to the power is unquestionable, but the institution of great interests such as a commercial base is also bound to attract the covetousness of other forces in the country, so that each chief will have some eyeliner in any stronghold or organization, whether overt or covert.

These concession leaders thought that they were not fully sure of what to do with Penny Sean, and they could not confirm the true surname of this news at this time, and if it leaked to China, it was likely to cause interference from other forces, which was obviously a loss for the Ream family they represented.

So Romnick's proposal makes perfect sense.

"Yes, I will temporarily close the concession for the next few days. Harrot agreed: "But should we inform the Chief?"

"The news has not been confirmed yet, and it is not too late to pass on the news when it is confirmed that he is Penny Sean, if our guess is wrong, and Lord Ream thinks that he has been deceived......" Romnik could not say anything, but Loomison shook his head first: "Let's wait and talk." ”

The three red-robed mages nodded their heads.

It's not funny to cheat a chief.

Romnik breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze swept over Loomison as he was packing up his papers, and stayed on Harrot's back for a moment before turning to leave the conference room.

...... "Anyway, that's the way it is. Penny flicked the letter of the magic condensed letter, and the handwriting on the piece of paper turned into light and scattered in the air one by one, until the whole paper flew away in a flash of light: "Looks like we're in trouble." ”

"Trouble?" "Trouble?" the white slender fingers covered the smiling red lips: "Isn't it always under your control? ”

"You can't say that. Penny shook his head: "It is said that the Harold chief is a turtle that hides in the wizard's tower all year round, and his spell-casting ability is also above mine, so it is not easy to subdue him." ”

Vika frowned, "You're not completely sure?"

"It all depends. Penny lowered her head slightly, and two colorful flashes of light bloomed on her fingers, and Vika gave her a strange look, and Penny also came to her senses, and her brow furrowed.

"What's that light? It looks beautiful. Vika grabbed Penny's hand and looked at it over and over again, her expression curious.

Penny's expression was a little more hesitant.

Since the successful development of the fortress realm, it seems that the plan to build himself into a Chengren-shaped floating city with the help of this Mithor can be well advanced, but for a period of time, he can often feel that as he becomes more and more skilled in controlling the Mither energy core, this crystal from ancient arcane technology often inadvertently exudes some power from him.

Colorful light is just one of them, sometimes, when he sleeps, his body will naturally float, until he floats a few feet away and falls to the ground, he is still dazed, until he wakes up, he does not know that there are many strange conditions, such as when he is drinking water, the liquid in the cup suddenly boils and boils, and his eyes are staring at the wooden table for a long time, and the table top begins to smoke as if it has been burned...... At the same time, he felt that his ** was becoming stronger day by day under the demonization of arcane power, but the power was becoming more and more difficult to control.

It made him wonder if the power of the Mithy nuclear force was beginning to show signs of spiraling out of control.

It wasn't impossible, he had been relying on the magical power of the two Imasca crystals to control the activity of the Mithic Core, but now it seemed that this control was very reluctant.

"Things here have to be resolved as soon as possible...... Vika, I'll have to go to Candlecastle in a while. "He's been thinking about it for the past few days, and he's made such a decision.

"Candlekeep?" Vika frowned.

"Go look up some information. Penny tapped on the table, "It's important to me. ”

The abnormality of his body comes from the Mithic core, but the information of the Mithic core is not all in his hand, and he has not yet translated the materials of the color language.

Another reason is that he desperately needs some arcane knowledge to move on to the second stage of his methodology.

Because he couldn't be sure whether the reason for the loss of control of the Mithic nuclear was due to the lack of Imaska's crystalline power, or whether it was due to himself.

You must know that at the beginning of the Mither core being swallowed by him, these anomalies had not yet appeared, but when he began to study this thing in depth, these signs of loss of control came out one after another.

And the weak thinking power is obviously unable to cope with the more powerful arcane power.

Then a more solid foundation of thinking is necessary.

Penny had also recently discovered that arcane research seemed to have reached a bottleneck, the five-ring spell was no longer difficult for him, and because the arcane power that his real name could control was slightly lower, he couldn't organize the spell of the sixth ring.

This reminds him that he must complete the theoretical foundation of the methodology as soon as possible.

Therefore, he needs a lot of information to correct his methodology, which is still in its infancy.

With all this at his disposal, Penny felt that it was not enough insurance.

"Okay, I've got your back, but you're going to have to get things done here. ”

"Of course, this concession must be controlled. Penny's eyes flickered: "As long as I control these three leaders, the city will be safe for me, but the rumors in the city ......"

"It's nothing. Vika waved her hand: "I will command people to control, not to mention that you are a wizard, now they are focusing on you because of your appearance, and after you disappear for a while, naturally no one will care about these things anymore." ”

The world of wizards, regardless of ordinary people, even adventurers, is quite far away.

Penny was relieved.

Further consideration can be given to future plans.
