When Penny received the strangely spoken invitation from Loomison, he already knew who he wanted to see him, and he was in a very calm mood about it, but instead of immediately agreeing, he made a vague notice to have a secret meeting in another place.

This coast is located on the border of Turmis, on the east side of the Pirate Islands, when Penny began to cast a spell to observe this place, he was stunned at first, he was no stranger to this place, he fled from Ser in a hurry on Fina's merchant ship, and was blown to this island by a storm on the way, and when he used teleportation to reach the predetermined coordinates, the volcano in the center of the island was still emitting thick smoke, as if it had just been sprayed once.

The wizard's eyelids jumped, noticing the sporadic ships docked along the shore, and a group of workers scrambling through the ash that still had residual heat, and it seemed that the resources had been exploited shortly after he left.

Perhaps it was another group of unlucky or lucky people who got such a volcanic gold deposit, and it was not difficult to become a rich man in the sea of falling stars.

However, when he saw the bald tattoo overseers, he knew that he had a wrong idea, although he was not wearing a red robe, but the fierce temperament that belonged to the desperate Eastern Regions could not hide from Penny's eyes - although he had been away from Searle for a while, he was all too familiar with them.

Just as he began to lament the impermanence of fate, he saw the elaborate tent by the sea—or rather, a mansion.

Although it was only a tent on the outside, Penny's keen sense of dimensional shape allowed him to see at a glance that the tent's door was connected to a solid half-plane, a method often used by high-ranking mages to carry a mansion with him, away from the rain and rain in the wilderness.

However, there are not many people who can afford to use a mansion of this size, and the wizard's eyelids closed slightly when he saw the middle-aged man drinking tea in the humble garden in front of the tent.

The man was slightly chubby, and wore a simple robe—not flashy, and without any redundant pendants, but it was made of good material, and the cotton was spun well, and it was magical—it was clear that this was a very comfortable garment to wear, and its meaning was not to show off wealth, but this attitude to life was already very instructive.

The middle-aged fat man looked at the location where the wizard was hiding about three thousand meters away, with a kind smile on his face, and ordered the tea on the table - he didn't seem to care if Penny would see it, for a wizard of this level, as long as he had a heart, distance was not a problem, so Penny didn't wonder why this fat man would find out where he was at a glance.

Although Penny had set the teleportation far away, he was also certain that by the time he cast the spell, the disturbance of the source force had revealed his position—at least the direction he was in.

Penny made sure that there were no deadly magic traps around him before he showed a projection across from the fat man, and he had to be careful before he knew what the other man was thinking.

As one of Serre's most cunning red-robes, Duxusrem has a reputation for it, and for whatever reason, the island has become his territory, and Penny must be careful.

"Oh~ It's really frustrating for me, as a hospitable host and inviter, to get such a visit here. Seeing Penny Sean's projection, Duxusrim's eyelids twitched, and his face showed obvious anger and annoyance: "If I were a vulgar person, the reaction now would be to tell you to get out." ”

"But we're wizards, aren't we? With a wave of his right hand, Penny Sean had asked Loomison about the Chief Lord's surname, and knew that this was probably not the case when there was obvious annoyance on Lord Reem's face—and he believed that such a great magician with great mana and such a status in Ser would probably not have a too changeable temper, and even if he had, it might have been hidden deeply, otherwise he would not have been able to make this step at all.

And he should also take this opportunity to express a certain degree of concession and apology to this adult: "Please believe that all my actions all along have been out of a wizard's sense of self-preservation, Your Excellency, you should give me some understanding for this insignificant junior, I have never deliberately made enemies of you." ”

"So the good show in Nancel two years ago was also for self-preservation?" Duxusrim's anger did not subside, but his tone showed a hint of ridicule.

"That's a position and I don't have any reason to play for you at that time. Penny shook his head.

Duxusrem watched Penny's projection for a while, and suddenly his anger retracted, and he laughed.

"Interesting, what you said does sound very reasonable, well, as a senior, I should give you a little understanding. ”

Of course, Penny Sean also has the qualifications to be understood in Duxusrim's heart - if this person is not a ** master who has the ability to cast spells in his twenties and has the ability to cast spells in the Nine Rings, if this person is not a powerful person who holds great power on the Dragon Coast, if this person has not made Albach, Samast, Cormier, and other famous enemies helpless against him, if this person does not make Juveron and Lauzorel feel troublesome and headaches, then why should Duxusrim be considerate of him?

Of course, a person with one or two of these four criteria is enough to make the chief look at him differently, let alone Penny Sean, who has all four criteria?

He also counted on this brilliant and dangerous junior to deal with Lauzorel and Zonveron for him.

If it were an ordinary mid-level mage like Penny Sean who had taken advantage of Nancer and then forcibly taken his territory on the Dragon's Shore, then Duxusrim would not have been able to give him any 'understanding' at all, and would most likely have bounced him to death like a mosquito - the other party would not be qualified to be 'considerate' from him at all.

Penny Sean now has a reason for Duxuslim to abandon his previous grievances and treat him with courtesy, and the damage he has done in the past is negligible compared to the help he will bring to the Chief.

As a chief, the owner of Searle's largest consortium, the ownership of the dean of an academy and the ownership of a concession is not small, but it does not make him feel very important.

Thinking of this, the Chief took another look at Penisian's projection, as if through this projection he saw Penny Sheen himself, the young wizard who shook Searle and even half of Ferron, and secretly sighed in his heart, this is a once-in-a-millennium genius, and his talent is even more amazing than that of Lauzorel.

He had made a decision at once, no matter what the cost, to bring this man into his camp, and now was a good opportunity to understand Penny Thean's current situation—the young wizard was desperate to return to Serre to find Lauzorell and Zonveron, which was what Rem needed, and the camp he had previously belonged to had abandoned him in his most difficult moments— From the past two years of dealing with Misrila, the attitude shown when talking about this young wizard seems to vaguely illustrate this.

As long as a good environment is created for Penisian at this time, and carefully bought it, a relatively solid alliance is established.

Now Penision's power has made Duxusrim not too delusional to be able to take him under his command - he has too many powers and secrets, and these things basically have nothing to do with Duxusrim, so it is better to keep a certain distance from each other.

Duxusrem thought it a little before making such a decision.

As a red-robed chief who is more like a merchant than a mage, Duxusrem has some ideas that have long surpassed those of his fellow Seyers, such as his belief that violence is not the best way to solve problems, especially when it comes to conflicts that are not so difficult to reconcile.

Of course, the conflict between him and the opposing camps of Laborariel and Zheng Weilong is obviously irreconcilable, and in the long struggle, conflict and hatred have penetrated into every blood in their bodies, and it is ironic that the attitude shown by the always selfish red-robed mage in this conflict is not entirely for the benefit of their respective ideas- Both sides believe that the other's ideas will bring down the Searle regime, such as Zonveron, who believes that if the Duxusrem faction is put in power, the Red Mage Guild and Searle will become weaker and weaker until they become merchants who can sell anything. As for Duxusrim, the longer he walked down the path of confrontation with his political enemies, the more he believed that the most likely reason to destroy the Red Robe Mage's regime was to start a war everywhere.

This also added some sacred and serious flavor to the struggle between the two major factions of red-robed mages.

With the advent of Penisian, Duxusrem has found a sword against his political opponents, and now, he wants to use his own ideas to encircle Penny Sean to his side.

He narrowed his eyes, revealing once again the kind expression of a businessman, honest and non-lethal, but in the eyes of Penisian, a guarded man, there was a deeply buried deceit.

But in any case, the matter was partially settled, and Duxusrem said that he would not pursue the past, which meant that his purpose was indeed as Penisian thought, and that the two sides would unite each other by a powerful enemy in common.

"Thank you so much for your understanding, dear Lord Rem. Penisian bowed slightly: "I will return the ruling rights of the Ximen City Concession as soon as possible." ”

"Well, there's no need to hurry, dear Sean. Duxusrim was very happy with the interest of this junior, and although he knew that the return of the Searle Concession was just a statement, it was always comfortable, but he had already decided not to care about it: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the Ximen Concession gives it to you, oh, I'll just give it to you." ”

Penny's eyebrows jumped, secretly surprised by Duxusrim's generosity, in the two years that the concession was controlled by him, he knew that every income and expenditure he knew that the profit of the concession during normal operation could almost top thirty percent of the income of the political axe of Ximen City, which was a huge amount of money anywhere in Faerun.

But in order to avoid Duxusrim's suspicion, he can only look at the profits of each year, and even if he withholds, he can only cut off an insignificant fraction.

In Duxusrim's mind, this is a long-term investment, and if this concession is given to the other party, then Penny Sean will inevitably be biased towards the foreign trade faction in his future tendencies, which will affect his interests.

It's a great idea.

Penny thought of this too, and felt flattered that the Chief seemed ready to make a big move to woo him.

Seeing the surprise on Penisian's face, Duxusrem felt a little proud - this met his expectations, he didn't believe that such a gesture could not impress this young red robe, this was nothing, in a short period of deliberation, he had decided to use more gifts to win the favor of this young red robe, if all the strokes were taken out, he believed that he would get better results, and he believed that all these investments would pay off huge profits, and the person in front of him was worth it.

Penny thought secretly for a while, he sensed Duxusrem's sincerity, if this ** master was really ready to do this, but it was not enough.

He also had to come up with a certain amount of capital to make Duxuslim feel worth his money.

He also knew what the Chief wanted to hear.

"I have a way to deal with Rourzorell and Zavilon. He said, "As long as we meet them head-on, I am sure that I can defeat them." ”

Duxusrim's fingers trembled, and although the jealous attitude and hidden whereabouts of Penny Sean and Laurturon made others vaguely speculate, he was still shocked to receive Penny Sean's own admission.

"With all due respect, do you really grasp the weaknesses in those two guys' methodology?" the Chief asked, still somewhat disbelieving.

Penision frowned, shook his head, and nodded before Duxusim looked disappointed.

The magic attached to the stick was not difficult to decipher, and it contained so much arcane information that it made it difficult for him to figure out what exactly was the structure set up for the methodological weaknesses of the chiefs, and the construction of legendary spells made it difficult to replicate.

Penny knew that perhaps Duxuth Rem had the ability to replicate the magic, but he wasn't going to give it away.

First, he had to personally knock out Tsuveron and Lauzorell, and second, it was an important bargaining chip for him to make an equal deal with Duxuthrim, and he had to hold it firmly.

"To be exact, I have what it takes to beat them, and only I have. Penisian recounted calmly.

Duxusrim didn't trust this, he frowned, and looked at Penny Sean, who was not honest, he was ninety percent sure that this junior had lied, but he didn't intend to pursue it.

If someone else had mastered the methodology of his old adversary and deceived him, he would have been stingy with harsher means to extract all these secrets from the mouth of this poor creature who thought he was clever, but now in front of him was Penny Sean, a man of great value in his own right, and to oppose the current Pennycion would obviously cost a higher price—not necessarily to recoup the fare.

As a businessman, Duxusrim has sensibly decided to accept Pennession's deception, in short, even if this man does not have the ability to knock down those chiefs head-on, as long as he appears in Sergey, it will inevitably cause a headache for his opponents, there is no doubt about it.

"Well, then, our purposes seem to be in some way the same, my dear little friend. Duxusrem laughs, "So we can work together." ”

"Yes, Lord Chief, if you can provide me with a suitable channel to return to Serge, I don't think the Lord will be pleasant. Penny bowed.

Now that there is a consensus, the next step is to agree on a plan.

Duxusrim's smile was even brighter, and he dared to return to Searle, which showed that Penny Sean did have the courage to face those old friends, and it could also be judged that this young man did have the ability to do it—and what he said was probably true.

"But are you just hiding in the clouds like that and won't let me see you head-on?" Duxusrim frowned slightly as he looked at Penny Sean's real body.

Penny thought for a moment, but shook his head: "This is not necessary, dear Lord Ream, I think our cooperation, only the communication on the message is enough, I will let you know my plan in due course, you just need to tell me, you can provide the conditions." ”

Duxusrim's expression stiffened, and the projection of Penny Sean on the opposite side disappeared in place.

"What an arrogant man, my lord. A heavily armed Searle knight stepped out from behind the tent and stood behind Duxusrem: "I actually confronted you with such an impudent attitude. ”

Searle Knight looked quite old, but his face was still resolute and stiff, and his back showed no signs of bending, and he looked at the place where Penisian had disappeared, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"He has the qualifications. Duxusrem shook his head and sighed suddenly: "Okay, the waves of the Sea of Falling Stars are always the back pushing the front, I am old, and the world is young now." ”

He closed his eyelids and pressed his temples, as a wizard, he was not yet a hundred years old, he could not be said to be old in any way, it was more like a joke, which also included admiration for Penisian.

"You guys also get ready, we have to make more comprehensive arrangements, and ......" Duxusrem looked at the lumberjacks in the forest in the distance, frowned, turned to the Searle knight next to him, and lowered his voice: "Find a few cronies and mages, immediately wash away all the memories in these people's minds today, it doesn't matter how many nerves are destroyed, anyway, today's events can't be revealed in the slightest." ”

Searle's eyes flickered, then quietly stepped back.

Duxuth Rem yawned, and a sea breeze blew, blowing his body away like bubbles on the surface of the sea.

It's just a projection.
