Chapter 41 "Shameless Warlock"(1/2)
Of course, Xu Nan didn't know that the two samples he submitted casually had already made the staff of the unknown biological laboratory worry.
He was still surprised why Mirlaku's sample analysis had not yet produced any results.
So he urged him a little, well, the words were very tactful, and he did not explicitly say that if the result was not released within the deadline, he would have to write a small essay to report to the Supreme Council, but I think it would also put some pressure on those warlocks who are lazy and hateful.
But this time, Xu Nan really made a mistake.
The unknown biological laboratory in Paradise Lost is an outsourcing project, and those who work here are real workaholics.
The reason why they did not return Mirraku's analysis results is because they really have no clue yet.
In any case, the trip to the Mage Tower was not completely rewarding, at least it allowed Xu Nan to figure out the value of Wildfire City.
As for the God of Qi Blood, it is somewhat of a hidden danger, but the God of Poverty vowed that Stephen Sang was close at hand, and there was a reliable boss like Luo Mang standing behind him. Xu Nan felt that he had to make good use of it anyway.
If Xu Nan's attitude towards Wildfire City was still optional before the Emerald Mine was discovered, then now, Wildfire City has been regarded as a thing in his pocket.
"We need to increase our attention to the wild pioneering order."
He touched his chin and touched it quietly.
Zebola and his group and Grey still joined forces. Although they were on guard against each other, they did not break up.
They seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, supervising each other to search every inch of the Mage Tower.
However, the result disappointed them.
Even the shadow of the Wild Blade Order was not seen. For this reason, Grey and Zebola each consumed a lot of [Secret Door Reconnaissance Scroll] and [Metal Detection Scroll]; both of these scrolls are expensive and are very useful in relic exploration.
Both sides put in a lot of money.
But the result was still no trace, and Grey even began to doubt the authenticity of the existence of the wild pioneering order.
Zebola and others were also disappointed.
When Xu Nan found them, they had already decided to leave.
On the one hand, the mage tower looks a bit unstable and may collapse at any time; on the other hand, they can basically confirm that the Wild Blade and Development Order is not in this mage tower at all!
"It's really futile..."
Zebola smiled bitterly and took the lead in making a request to leave.
Xu Nan maintained the reserve of "Small Town Song" and allowed them to leave. Not long after, Grey also proposed to retreat. This person was much more slippery and tried to ask Xu Nan for contact information, but unfortunately Xu Nan refused coldly.
As for Emma, she drove her aircraft away from the zombie swamp as early as after the aberration was eliminated; for her, Jules' manuscripts were the most important treasure.
Xu Nan stood alone in front of the mage tower that gradually sank into the swamp. Looking at the shadows of several living zombies faintly flashing in the distance, huge questions surged into his mind:
"How did Zebola and his group find the Mage Tower?"
"Is the Wild and Blazing Order really just a forgery?"
"If the God of Seven Blood has not awakened, then what's going on with the Sebalon family's plantation?"
These questions have no answers yet.
But he had a very strong premonition.
Everything will be revealed soon.
...
Ten days later.
Wildfire City. Black Pearl Underground Happy Field.
A tall man frowned and walked through the corridor where the singing and dancing constantly, through the entrance hall, and arrived at a relatively quiet private room.
The fireplace in the private room was burning with raging flames, and several northern women without any twigs were laughing and playing cards on the sofa, but their voices were very light, as if they were afraid of disturbing Xu Nan who was reading seriously not far away.
A snap!
Grey threw his weapon on the shelf, walked to Xu Nan with great strides, grabbed the wine glass at Xu Nan without any hesitation, drank it all, and then wiped his mouth unhappily:
"How long do you want to stay in this kind of place?"
Xu Nan closed the manuscript in half and glanced at Grey:
"How? Can mercenaries still point fingers at the employer's private life?"
Grey sneered, suddenly bent down and said with a sinister expression:
"You can't control your lower body, you really get on them, right?"
"Do you think the women here are reliable?"
"You better remember the role you play now!"
Xu Nan closed the manuscript calmly, feeling a completely different attitude from the one he had encountered when he was contacted by Xiaocheng Song before, and couldn't help but sigh: This is too real!
"Don't worry."
He whispered, "I just let them play around."
Grey looked at Xu Nan suspiciously: "I don't believe you can stand it."
Xu Nan smiled: "Believe it or not."
Of course he ran to the brothel just to do the ascetic mission. In fact, the day after leaving the zombie swamp, he moved into the brothel. Today should be the last day.
As for Grey, this guy came back dejectedly from the zombie swamp soon.
Xu Nan pretended to ask him what had happened, and he didn't say it arrogantly, probably because he was afraid of being looked down upon.
But now, it should be almost the same.
Xu Nan coughed, waved his hand, and signaled the girls to go down first. Anyway, he gave enough money and didn't need to work, so the girls here liked him very much.
Soon, the private room became clean.
Xu Nan also lost a [Soundproof barrier]. You should be careful when you are in a place like Wild Fire City where fish and dragons are mixed. Anyway, Xu Nan has a lot of shame points on hand now, so there are discounts when buying some earth-level spells.
"What happened in the city recently?"
Xu Nan looked at Gray's eyes and knew that this guy couldn't sit still and came to find him. Something important must have happened.
Grey snorted coldly, habitually took out an apple and began to chew on it.
Xu Nan noticed that this guy was eating apples a bit strange, like a little girl, gnawing bit by bit; if he hadn't been eating other things, Xu Nan even suspected that Grey was dressed as a man, or a hamster became a sperm or something.
Anyway, everything is possible these days!
"Something happened."
"But we have to start from scratch."
Grey's expression was a little gloomy and after a while, he seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and whispered:
"I went to the zombie swamp before and didn't find the wild pioneering order; I met people from the Sebalon family. In fact, during the entire search, I was with them, and I didn't find them, nor did they find them."
Xu Nan knew all this, but he still showed an listening look and nodded:
"It may not be a bad thing if you haven't found it."
"No!" Grey's expression suddenly became very strange: "Things are strange here."
"I can be sure that there is no possibility of the Wild Breakthrough Order in that mage tower; with their adventurer level, it is impossible to stage a scene of concealing the world under my nose, not to mention that there are two legendary mages staring next to me!"
"Legendary Mage!" Xu Nan exclaimed in surprise.
Grey sneered: "It's indeed a legendary wizard! Lord Song, a small town in Bingfengling, and a female spellcaster suspected to be from Stephenson, are all extremely powerful guys; but they have nothing to do with this matter..."
"Did you talk to them?"
Xu Nan's acting skills are realistic and look like a curious baby.
Grey hesitated for a moment, then looked up proudly and said:
"Talking to each other? You're too underestimating me, right?"
"In fact, I had a great time talking to Lord Song of Xiaocheng. When he was leaving, he even gave me an umbrella as a souvenir."
Xu Nan almost laughed out loud.
OK, is Grey's version of [I'm chatting and laughing with legend]?
"Get back to the point."
Grey said seriously: "Reasonablely, both of us returned empty-handed. But just a few days ago, there was suddenly news that Zebola's team found the Wild Development Order!"
"And they found it in the Mage Tower!"
Xu Nan showed a look of surprise. This time he was really surprised. After all, he had never left a brothel for the past ten days to do a task, and the news was very closed.
"What's more interesting is still behind. The adventurer team was ambushed on the way back to Sebalon Manor. Although there were no casualties, rumors pointed out that the wild pioneering order seemed to have been dropped in chaos."
"And just yesterday, Cook, the boss of the Black Water Gang, suddenly proposed to open the city lord's treasure chest."
"He said that the wild pioneering order is in his hands."
Speaking of this, Grey spitted the apple core on the ground fiercely, complaining:
"What do you mean by this?"
To be continued...
