Chapter 218 The Dilemma of the Blood Wizard
The feeling of being stared at by a blood wizard was terrible. At least this black-robed wizard felt deeply the terrible feeling of his gaze piercing his soul at this moment.
"Are you willing to do that?" The black-robed wizard who endured the discomfort untied the hood on his head, revealing a thin, gloomy face and a pair of weird insect compound eyes on his face, "You know that you were also secretly
We have invested a lot, but the old guy who vowed to succeed has not sent back any news. Now that a person has come out of No. 9 Golden Oak Street alive, we will be able to obtain the big data contained in No. 9 Golden Oak Street right before our eyes.
Secrets, or even great treasures, are you really willing to watch the opportunity slip away before your eyes?"
The blood wizard said coldly: "What if, as you think, we work together with you to successfully extract all the secrets of No. 9 Golden Oak Street from him?"
"Then..." The black-robed wizard was about to say something encouraging, but the words were blocked as soon as they reached his mouth, and he did not say them out. The look on his face was as embarrassing as if he had eaten something dirty.
The blood wizard said in a deep voice: "In the Wizards' Assembly, your insect wizard Sanges Bennett's reputation is much greater than mine, and you joined the Wizards' Assembly earlier than me, and your strength is about the same as mine.
But I, who joined the gathering late, was able to become the club manager of Velen Continent, where the Wizards’ Assembly is located, while you are just a member, do you know why?”
This lecturing tone made the insect wizard Sanjes very uncomfortable, but he did not refute, and just put his hood back on.
Although the Bug Wizard has used actions to show that he has realized his mistakes, Lawrence Hillman does not intend to let him go just like this, because some of the recent reckless behaviors of the Bug Wizard have brought him a lot of trouble
Trouble, even if their situation is so bad now, it is because of some actions of the insect wizard, so it is inevitable that the insect wizard will do something wrong again. This time, he must make it clear and make the other party completely submissive.
So, the blood wizard still used that slightly mocking indifferent tone and said: "If you don't want to tell me, let me tell you! We got the secret of No. 9 Golden Oak Street, but this secret doesn't mean anything to us.
Because there is no longer No. 9 Golden Oak Street, so in the end we offended a powerful high-ranking wizard because of a bullshit secret that did no good. Ah, that’s right! I also forgot that this wizard might also become ours
help us fight against the current crisis."
A deep voice came from under the hood, saying: "I was just impulsive!"
"On impulse? This is really a good excuse. If my memory is correct, you also said you were impulsive last time, right?" The blood wizard said step by step: "I asked you to take the six hands alive.
Come back, but what about you? You fed his soul to your little guy, and didn't even take care of the aftermath. You just threw the body into the lake casually, and what's even more ridiculous is that you didn't even deal with the surrounding witnesses.
Now, almost everyone thinks that the Ring of Plague has fallen into our hands, and it has become everyone's target. All my original plans have failed, and now I can only barely protect myself. You actually dare to come this time
It was just an impulse, do you think we didn't die fast enough? Lord Sanges."
Being ridiculed by his companions, the insect wizard Sanges Bennett, who has always been known for his violent and impulsive personality, never refuted or became angry. He just lowered his head and his hood covered his face, making it impossible to see what he was doing now.
What's your mood like?
Lawrence Hillman also knew very well that some things were enough, especially not enough, so he did not continue talking, but relaxed the atmosphere in the tent slightly, and was silent for a moment, and then asked: "You went to investigate before.
Has the matter come to an end?"
The insect wizard simply replied: "Now all the underground churches in Miria City are participating."
Lawrence nodded and said: "This result is not beyond my expectation. For other people, the Ring of Plague is an evil thing, but for those underground churches who are eager to preach and expand their influence, the Ring of Plague is simply a missionary god.
Things that spread plagues among ordinary people and make people sick, and then their preachers stand up to relieve the pain of those patients. In this way, all those who receive treatment can become general members of their church, even if they cannot become true believers.
Believers, this dirty trick has not changed since ancient times."
"What should we do now?" the insect wizard asked in a deep voice.
Lawrence sighed slightly and said: "There is no other way but to find the ring of plague as soon as possible, then throw it out and let those guys grab it by themselves. We can take advantage of this chaos to find our own things."
The insect wizard had some different opinions and said: "How about we leave now and wait for things to calm down."
"Leaving now will only make things worse, and the suspicion on us can no longer be cleared." Lawrence Hillman shook his head and said: "And are you just willing to leave like this? You know that we are more vulnerable now than ever."
You have to get close to the secret of the tower. If you give up, you won’t know when the next opportunity will appear."
"But..." The insect wizard hesitated for a moment.
"Your personality is not like that of someone who easily shrinks, and there is such an important thing involved." The blood wizard looked at his companion with suspicion, and asked: "When you inquired about the information, did you find out?
What additional news?"
The insect wizard responded truthfully: "The Holy Judge of the Orthodox Church has appeared in Port Leon and should arrive in Miria City in two days."
"Holy Judge? This is a big trouble." After hearing the news, Lawrence Hillman did not show a worried look. Instead, he laughed and said: "It's just that compared to us, the troubles of those underground churches
If it is bigger, as long as we plan well, we should have a chance to solve this crisis with the power of the Holy Judge."
As he spoke, he pondered for a moment and seemed to have thought of something. He used secret techniques to directly convey his thoughts to the insect wizard. To outsiders, he seemed to be just moving his mouth and not making any sound at all. The insect wizard seemed to be listening.
As if he had noticed something, he nodded in agreement without listening.
Just as the two core members of the wizard assembly were discussing how to overcome the current crisis, Leo had already walked out of the refugee camp and walked towards the fish market, which was completely controlled by the black market. While walking, he was also thinking
The content of the conversation with Lawrence just now.
Although Leo didn't know why Lawrence wanted to cooperate with him to find the Ring of Plague, Leo knew very well that it was definitely not to study the Ring of Plague. It must be for other reasons. However, there is too little information at hand to speculate.
His real reason.
The reason why Leo agreed to cooperate with the two so quickly was because he sensed that there was a mysterious wizard hidden in the tent whose strength was much worse than the bloodless wizard.
This mysterious wizard has a very strong hiding ability. If Lawrence Hillman hadn't suddenly shown no interest in No. 9 Golden Oak Street just now, the mysterious wizard's mood would fluctuate, revealing a trace of abnormal psychic fluctuations.
If so, maybe Leo still wouldn't be able to discover this hidden powerhouse.
Although only a trace of emotional psychic energy fluctuations were revealed, and the time was very short, Leo could feel the strong greed and malice in the other party's emotions.
If it were just the Blood Wizard, even if things broke out, Leo wouldn't be worried at all. He was very confident that his current psychic abilities and the various methods he had mastered were enough to deal with a powerful wizard like the Blood Wizard.
But if there is a mysterious strong man who is not weaker than the blood wizard and has unknown methods lurking on the side, then things will become very difficult, so he made the best choice at that time and left the blood wizard's tent as soon as possible.
After leaving, Leo always opened his mental net, concentrated his five senses, and carefully checked all the movements around him. As long as the mysterious wizard appeared, he would definitely find him. But the result was somewhat unexpected.
Emotionally, he clearly showed extremely strong greed and desire for No. 9 Golden Oak Street, but he was able to control this emotion and did not track it down. He waited for an opportunity to take action, which made all the means he specially prepared for this mysterious wizard come to nothing.
.
Leo still doesn't know what the real relationship between the mysterious wizard and the blood wizard is, but from the blood wizard's behavior of allowing the mysterious wizard to hide in the tent, he can guess that the relationship between the two must be unusual.
Although there is a coveted hostile wizard hiding aside, Leo has no intention of stopping his cooperation with Lawrence Hillman. The cooperation decision he made just now is not a perfunctory one. He really wants to cooperate with Lawrence.
, and borrowed Lawrence's power to find the Ring of Plague.
However, what is more important than this is to obtain his research information on various types of blood from Lawrence. These information are much more important to him than the Ring of Plague.
To this day, Leo still doesn't know what the unknown bloodline is that is awakened in his body. He can only feel that the power contained in the bloodline will slowly increase over time even if he ignores it.
Although these bloodline powers will not have any impact on his combat behavior such as casting spells, nor will they cause any harm to his body, they will make his body become stronger as his strength increases, but it is uncontrollable.
The power was bred in the body, which always made Leo, who was accustomed to grasping everything in his hands, feel very uncomfortable, and it had even become a minor worry for him.
In the world of Velen, Lawrence Hillman is the person who has studied all kinds of blood the most, and there is no one. When he studied blood, he must have involved all kinds of blood. With Rupert's financial resources, he could get it for him.
The blood of those mysterious creatures that have disappeared is not impossible, so his research report must also involve a lot of research on advanced bloodlines.
Although Leo may not necessarily be able to find content related to the unknown bloodline in his body from these data, he can find some information from other research involving advanced bloodline that can help him control and understand the power of bloodline.
Method, this was the real purpose of his request for those research reports. Because of this purpose, his cooperative relationship with the blood wizard would be very stable before the data was obtained.
Although Lawrence Hillman's attitude showed that he would try his best to help find the Ring of Plague, Leo did not intend to put all his hopes on one person, so he decided to find Sylvia first.
Ya Cheng's men obtained some funds from him, and then went to the black market to buy some useful information.
Because there were no trams or carriages, and many roads were occupied by refugee tents and simple houses, it took Leo twice as long as before to arrive outside the fish market.
During the war, almost all the exquisite buildings in Miria City were completely destroyed, and the middle-class residential areas in the city were also affected. Most of them were in ruins, but the fish market, the famous slum of Miria City, was just like
Like the vast majority of civilian areas on the edge of other cities, they all survived the war, and all the buildings remained intact, making those who still remember the glory of Miria City unable to help but sigh after seeing it.
Because this place has been completely controlled by the black market, this once darkest and filthiest area in Miria City has become the safest and most stable area in Miria City. Many homeless refugees have
They gathered around the fish market and settled down, which made the fish market very lively. Even late at night, it was bustling with people.
The person Leo was looking for lived in the fish market. He was a slightly powerful fish market terminal supervisor. After taking control of the fish market in the black market, he was retained as a manager of the port, specifically responsible for smuggled goods in the black market.
Transportation. Because of this authority, he helped some forces in the city transport some items through the black market smuggling routes from time to time.
It was easy to find the place where Sylvia's men lived. After entering the fish market, it only took Leo five minutes to find his residence. However, Leo's luck didn't seem to be very good, because Sylvia
Something happened to my men.
Outside this common double-storey wooden house, many people have gathered to watch the excitement. Although people die every day in Milia City now, and everyone is accustomed to death, a senior executive of the black market was arrested.
He was brutally killed in his own home, and in an urban area controlled by the black market. This made many people who thought the fish market was safer than other urban areas began to feel uneasy and panicked.
Leo did not enter the house, but checked the situation inside through the mental network outside. He soon discovered that the scene of Sylvia's men being murdered was exactly the same as the murder of Emily's family.
The victim and his family were skinned, their eyes and tongues were dug out, their cervical vertebrae were dug out, and their corpses were arranged in confessional clothes. Every detail was the same as what Leo had seen, and there was no difference in the details.
It was obviously done by the same person, not an imitator.
