244 Blood Shadow
With Harrot's power, coupled with the close relationship between the Searle Concession and Simon, it was easy to close the Concession.
Under his orders, the concession had rejected all requests for trade from the outside world, and closed its gates, forbidding anyone to enter or leave, and Harrot had issued a strict order that the staff of the concession should enter and leave without permission and be detained and punished, which was no less severe than that of his colleagues in China.
As for the intelligence, it had been going well, and a little earlier, he had received a report from Lumison that the identity of the wizard named Pan Diesel had been verified, which was of course important news for him, so he immediately asked the apprentice to prepare tea and wait for the arrival of the two colleagues in the conference room.
He watched from afar as the secret agent and the trade chief walked side by side, and when he saw that the expression on the other party's face seemed to be good, his heart naturally widened.
I believe that the news brought by these two colleagues will not be too bad.
He smiled, "Lumisen, what's the good news?"
"Good news, of course, Lord Harrot. The spy leader bowed his head very humbly, raised a palm, Harrot was stunned, and felt a force enveloping the surrounding space, his eyes were dark, and he felt that all the spell power on his body was out of control for a moment, and before he could react more, Harrot next to the spy leader cast a spell at the same time, Harrot stiffened, fell straight to the ground, and lost his ability to move.
The consul of the concession watched a flame appear in the hands of the spy leader, instantly burning the red robe on his body, and at the same time, the magic props on it also lost their response under the interference of such a force, Harlot's eyes widened more and more, and finally achieved some results in the confrontation immobilization, and opened his mouth: "Loomisen, Romnik, what are you doing?"
He didn't know why the two colleagues had suddenly taken him down.
His mind was moving rapidly, and his eyes were spinning alertly: "You want to usurp my position? Don't forget that I was personally appointed by the Chief Lord, can you hide it from him?"
"Lumison?" The spy leader raised his eyebrows and wiped it on his face, revealing a face that seemed a little unfamiliar to Consul Harrot: "Mr. Lumison is too seriously injured, and his magic has not completely healed him, and he is still recuperating." ”
"...... are you" Harrot stared at the unremembered face that he felt he had seen somewhere, and his eyebrows were deeply locked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Penny Sean. The man spread his hands and tugged at the red robe on his body: "Anyway, I haven't worn this set of things for a while." ”
"You're Penny Sean?" The consul's pupils contracted for a moment, and then turned to Romnick's face next to him, and suddenly understood everything: "You guys have already colluded. ”
"I'm sorry, Lord Harrot, but I'm forced to do it too. Romnick smiled wryly and touched his nose, and when he said, "Forced to be helpless", he also peeked at Penny's face: "You don't have to resist anymore." ”
There was a sudden hesitation in Harrot's eyes.
"Okay, Lord Consul, although I don't want to force you too much, but this is your territory after all, and I don't want to delay you for too long, if you don't hand over the methodology now, I will use brainwashing spells against you. Penny said lightly: "I have used this kind of spell many times in the past few days, and I am already very proficient. ”
"Hah...... It sounds scary, but it's not that simple. Harrot let out a hoarse laugh, as if he had made some decision.
His body suddenly jumped vertically from the ground, and his posture looked extremely strange, Penny was startled, but saw that the consul's eyes turned blood-red in an instant, his face turned from pale to death-gray, his lips showed a blood-like color, and two canine teeth peeked out from the corners of his mouth.
"Vampire!" Romnik exclaimed.
Penny frowned, caught him a little off guard by the momentary change, he was far from expecting that the consul was actually a vampire.
This is obviously unreasonable, you must know that although the Red Robe Mage Guild is not a force in the good camp, except for a few lichs in the organization, it cannot tolerate such an obvious inhuman creature.
There were once spirit-sucking monsters and dragons who disguised humans to enter the Red Robe Mage Society to study, and after being discovered, they all left ahead of time, and creatures such as vampires were deeply taboo by the Red Robe Mage Society.
You must know that every vampire is born to be bound by blood relatives, this kind of species instinct that is unified with blood is difficult to resist, and it is even more important to feed on blood, so naturally it will not get the favor of the red-robed mages.
"So the game isn't over yet, Lord Pennessian. Harrot, who suddenly turned into a vampire, grinned, and his bloody gaze fell on the gray-faced Romnick: "Although the time is not yet ripe, but today is a good day, since you have seen this picture, then you will become one of us." ”
The door of the conference hall closed in an instant, and magic patterns of various colors appeared around the walls, and in many places, there were also tubes of magic energy cannons and flashing arrows exposed by machine crossbows.
If you let these arrows of pure gold shoot at you, the consequences are quite bad.
Know that this metal can easily tear through most types of spell shields.
Harrot's bloody eyes stared at Penny and Romnick opposite, and with a flick of his fingernails, a blood-red robe appeared on his body, and now this robe was worn on his body, and it felt even more indescribably weird.
"One of you?" Penny looked up, "I've heard that Simon is secretly controlled by vampires, I didn't believe it for a while, but I didn't expect our Concession Governor to fall into their control silently, it's really surprising, I believe your Lord Rem will be very happy to know such news." ”
"I believe he would have preferred to know your news, Mr. Sean, and while I am amazed by your strength, it is a pity that the situation now seems to be in my hands. The vampire smiled dumbly, and waved his finger at the surrounding arrangement in a pretended grace.
The hall's magic devices and protection systems had been activated, and many types of magic, including teleportation spells, had been banned, and he didn't believe that the two self-contained creatures could do anything bigger.
Thinking that he had a chance of victory, Harrot stared at Penny with a twinkle in his eyes: "But I still want to have your help, you know, my master has always wanted to be able to achieve great things with talented people like you." Of course, you can also choose to be a corpse, so that I can use this merit to gain more favor from the Chief Lord, and now you have some time to hesitate. ”
"Together...... That's an interesting way to put it, but I think it's better to take it into my own hands. As Penny spoke, his body was already floating, and he was rushing towards Harrot in mid-air at a breakneck speed like a siege ballista.
"I really regret your choice. As a vampire, Harrot's reaction speed was also not slow, and in an instant it turned into a cloud of mist, appearing on the other side of the room, and countless bows and ballistas had already focused their fire on Penny in the air.
The mage immediately activated the fortress field, and under the effect of the powerful static force field, all the crossbow arrows fell to the ground after penetrating less than a yard into the field, and those elemental shells from the magic cannons were not able to break through the shell of the field.
This undoubtedly made Harrot's face change for a moment, he couldn't imagine that there was such an enchantment in the world, not to mention a middle-level spellcaster who could cast five or six ring spells, even those ** masters, might not have such a strong protection, and at the moment when he was sluggish, Penny had already appeared only two yards away from him.
Harrot once again felt the oppressive force that had just knocked him down over his body, which undoubtedly terrified him, and he knew that he had no strength to fight against this terrible barrier, he let out a sharp whistle and rolled on the ground in embarrassment, a wall rising from the ground, blocking him and the wizard.
A wall blocked the way, and Penny simply performed a wall-piercing spell, but when he reached the center of the wall, he suddenly felt that he was caught in the wall by a magical force, and he immediately frowned, knowing that this wall must have been treated by a spell.
Harrot behind the wall had a smile on his face, and in the next moment, his smile froze as he saw the wall shatter with a loud bang, and the wizard burst out of a massive hole.
The vampire's heart suddenly felt that this wall was made of demonic metal, which was very strong, and it was actually broken by this wizard.
But now was obviously not the time for him to be in a daze, as a wizard, he had been chanting spells just now, and Penny's breaking through the wall only paused his guidance for a moment, so in the next moment, a red light shot towards Penny's body.
When the 'fortress' around the mage was hit by this ray of light again, there was a chaotic explosion, which undoubtedly made Penny's head flutter for a while, and this spell was obviously beyond the capacity of the fortress realm.
And he wasn't ignorant of the spell.
This is the famous dissociation technique, and if he is hit by this beam in the wall just now, his body will be disintegrated into dust along with the wall.
Harrot was also very shocked to see that the spell that hit directly did not take the other party's life, but this wizard's bad luck had already had a deep experience, so his nerves were already a little numb, and he had already reacted in the next moment.
He rushed at the wizard opposite.
Because Harrot knew that the annoying turtle shell outside the other party's body had been shattered, and at this time, the surface of Penny's body was smooth without any spell protection.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for vampires.
Blessed by the dark powers, vampires are far faster and more physically powerful than normal, so they are willing to pounce on each other and bite them on the neck if they lose their protection, giving them a deadly kiss.
The magic power of the kiss will make the other person lose all resistance in an instant, and the rest is in the control of the vampire.
But he apparently rejoiced too soon.
A fist brought his fast-moving body to a standstill, his eyes widened, he looked down at the fist that was deep in his chest, and felt the blood in his heart surging under the huge vibration, a large mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth like a water pump.
The vampire's brain went blank, and in the midst of his scream, he turned into a bat and turned to fly, only to be pinched by the hand.
Smack!
Penny waved his hand, and the fleshy bat in his hand fell to the ground like a piece of, the bat reverted to its human form in a flash of light, and the vampire's entire body was as if it had been smashed by a sledgehammer.
For the vampire, such an injury was not fatal, and the rotten flesh on his body squirmed, and it seemed that if he had enough time, he could recover.
Penny is well aware of this, too.
"Wait......" The blood-red eyeballs watched the wizard approach step by step, and the vocal cords that had lost the support of his trachea could still make a sound: "You have ruined the master's plan, he will definitely not let you go." ”
"Your master?" Penny tilted his head, a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "Sounds like a guy to be feared, but I don't want to grovel to his forgiveness." ”
"No, with your talents, and your willingness to serve us, the master will certainly value you as much as he does me, listen, we will build an empire of our own, and it is still too late...... Nope!"
Harrot felt a foot on his head, and he screamed hoarsely, almost screaming.
"I'm sorry, we're not of the same kind. ”
Penny shook his head, vampires weren't something that could be controlled by methodology.
For this creature, the effects of blood and instinct are more intuitive, and Penny is not sure what the vampire behind this guy will find out from it.
But he was sure that he could convince such a consul of the Concession, a senior mentor of the Six Rings, that vampire's power was unfathomable, and he would never leave any trouble for himself.
With a single smack, the vampire's head burst open like a papaya, and he repeatedly crushed the pale brains to make sure they blended in with the wooden floor.
That way, there is no need to worry that he will be resurrected.
...... "Heaven...... He turned out to be a vampire, and we didn't even know it all along. ”
The moment the magic cannon and crossbow machine fired, Lord Romnik, the head of trade, shrewdly dodged under the corner of the wall, dodged this wave of volleys, and then had the heart to help, but the battle process after that was too fast, and when he reacted, the wizard had already solved the opponent with three strikes and five divisions, and now he looked down at the remaining lower half of Harrot's face, and looked at the blood-red eyeballs that were trampled and burst out of his sockets with a pale face, still shocked, but a little abrupt: " No wonder he stayed in the Mage Tower, didn't go out once a year, and never saw silverware in the purchase list given to me every month, it turned out that he had become this kind of thing. ”
"Oh, you should be glad I'm here, or it's not hard to guess if he finds a chance...... You and Lumison won't escape this fate. Penny smiled.
Glad?
Romnick's smile was very reluctant, in his opinion, the consequences of the methodology falling into the hands of this wizard were no better than becoming a vampire, but now, he still had to plan for this adult wholeheartedly: "My lord, what should we do now?"
When asked, his eyes still didn't take off the vampire on the ground.
Penny knew exactly what he wanted to ask.
For Serge, a concession consul is not a small person, and the quiet death of such a guy will definitely cause a lot of turmoil, so no matter what, you must be prepared for the aftermath.
Especially when vampires are involved, it is even more troublesome to deal with.
"Romnick, if this matter is reported back to Serge, how will your boss react?" Penny pointed to the corpse on the ground.
"Boss, you mean the Chief Lord?" Romnick frowned, "Your Excellency, forgive me for being stupid, his reaction is really hard to guess. ”
Penny thought for a moment: "Let's put it this way, is it possible for him to change the consul, or go further...... Closure of the concession. ”
"No way. Hearing the closure of the concession, Romnik shook his head: "It is unlikely that the chief will close the concession because of this matter, as for the change of consul...... The Chief Adult will probably choose a meritocracy to take over. ”
"Meritocracy?" Penny glanced at Romnick, "Do you meet that standard?"
"This ......" A few drops of sweat appeared on Romnik's forehead, and he lowered his head in shame: "My lord, it depends on the chief master's thoughts, if in his heart, I am not good enough......"
"Then he will choose the guy he thinks is good to come and take over. Penny finished the sentence.
"Yes. Romnick lowered his head again.
The wizard pulled out a chair next to him, sat down, lifted his chin and groaned.
Penny wasn't terrified of sending a new consul, after all, he had already taken control of Romnik and Loomisen, and it wasn't impossible to bring in a new man, as long as he was properly arranged.
But it undoubtedly increases the danger, not to mention that Penny is in a hurry to deal with his own physical problems, and he can't afford to spend that kind of time.
"So you just have to show a sufficient level of excellence. He lifted his head.
"Huh?" the wizard's words were thoughtless, and Romnik opened his mouth, a little unresponsive.
"Take care of this matter. Penny circled his finger on the bookcase next to him: "Romnik, you need to show the Chief Lord your talents, prove to him that you are capable of handling the affairs of the Concession, and tell him that you have mastered the Concession so that he is unlikely to send a new consul." ”
Romnik nodded convincingly, this was indeed the right way of thinking: "However, my lord, a concrete plan is needed. ”
"Concrete plan...... "Penny's eyes flickered.
How to deal with vampires, this is the difficulty in dealing with this matter.
You know, the vampires control Simon, and it's a secret that is not a secret in the Dragon's Coast region.
While it may seem like an exaggeration to many, there's no doubt that vampires have great power in the city.
"Spread the rumors about what is going on here. After thinking for a while, Penny still felt that he couldn't make a fuss: "We are doing business here, just show our attitude, but don't over-irritate those guys, in addition, there is no need to make a big fuss, you can notify the political axe of Ximen, but don't make superfluous moves, the concession will be closed for a period of time, and then reopened when the rumors are almost gone." ”
"Yes. Romnick thought about it, and the plan Penny had said was indeed sound.
"As for this corpse,......" Penny looked at Harrot on the ground, "It would be great if it could be sent back to Serge, and before that, don't forget to let the people in the concession know that the chaos of the past few days has come from him, and that Loomison was also wounded in the battle with the vampires." ”
Romnick's face twitched, but he nodded.
