"Mushan's Kalijie, you are still as domineering as ever!" After Oga left, Sylvia said to the old man as if meeting an old acquaintance.
"I am extremely honored to be praised by the Earl." The old man smiled, saluted Sylvia, then turned to look at Leo and said, "You are Mr. Leo Dodd, right?
I have heard of your reputation a long time ago and have always wanted to meet you. I didn’t expect to wait so long to see you.”
"Hello." Leo responded very simply and plainly.
At this time, Sylvia took the initiative to introduce: "This is Mr. Kalij, the chief steward of the Kuifan family."
"A human becomes the chief steward of the vampire clan?" Leo was stunned, couldn't help being curious, and asked.
Perhaps it was because many people had asked similar questions before, so the old man Kalij quickly gave an answer, saying: "I grew up in the Kuifan family when I was very young, and the Kuifan family regarded me as
My family, when I grew up, I gave up the opportunity to bear the surname Kui Fan, and the Kui Fan family didn’t want me to live outside and suffer, so they arranged for me to become the family’s housekeeper, and I’ve been working there to this day.”
Although the old man's tone was very calm and the content of his statement was very simple, Leo would not really view the old man that simply. The old man's ability to absolutely suppress Oga Quinine relied not only on his
Identity, aside from other things, the energy fluctuations in the opponent's body that are very close to those of a fifth-level psyker are enough to show that the opponent's true strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
"I think you two should also know the purpose of the old man coming here this time!" Kalij did not show a business-like attitude, but lowered his attitude and said to Leo and Sylvia: "I hope you two
Someone who can tell me truthfully what happened there, without any additions or deletions.”
Sylvia took the initiative to take over the negotiation with the other party and said: "Of course I can tell you, but just telling you like this would be too cheap for you. You must know that the secrets contained in this matter are valuable!"
Kalij smiled and said: "Of course, as long as the information is true, our Kuifan family will never be stingy about paying enough remuneration."
Sylvia emphasized again: "Can you make the decision? You must know that the reward we want is not money."
Kalij responded with great certainty: "This is not a problem. I can make the final decision on most of the items in the Kuifan family's library."
Seeing this, Sylvia said nothing more and turned to Leo and nodded.
Although there was no specific talk about what kind of remuneration there would be, Leo felt that the Kuifan family would not be stingy with this remuneration, so he did not add anything and carefully recounted what happened before.
He also told her about letting Yilan leave.
During the narration, Butler Kalij interrupted Leo from time to time and inserted some questions, such as the shape of monsters, the shape of cracks, the concentration of thick fog, etc., trying to do everything in detail.
Leo did not show any impatience. He not only answered the other party's inquiry seriously, but also added some of his own guesses. Later, he even took out the energy block and handed it to Kalij.
This move made Sylvia complain a lot afterwards, because in her opinion, it was enough to tell Kalij the true story of the incident and the secret hidden in the ruins, and there was no need to take out the energy block.
.
However, Leo didn't see it that way. He always felt that there was something wrong with the energy block, but he didn't know where the problem was. Now, leaving it to Kalij could just get rid of this trouble.
Before Kalij left, he asked Sylvia and Leo to stay in Moonlight City for two days in a requesting tone, waiting for him to confirm everything, and then give them the compensation they should pay.
Leo and Sylvia did not object to this. They stayed in the hotel for the past two days and did not go out, trying to avoid causing trouble.
Although Moonlight City seems very peaceful during the day, at night you can feel an undercurrent enveloping Moonlight City.
The curfew that has never been seen in Moonlight City is a precursor to this undercurrent, and the house collapse accidents that occurred one after another in the past two days can be said to be the follow-up. As for the most eye-catching one, it is in Moonlight City, which is the only one in Asa County.
The Church of the King of the Hill is closed, which is definitely a big event for the slums of Moonlight City.
To ordinary people, these three things are just independent things that are not connected, but for Leo and Sylvia, these three things are actually one thing.
The curfew in Moonlight City was actually to make room for the night battles. The collapse of the houses was a side effect of the battle between the cult leader and the King of the Hill, St. Francis, and the cult leader disappeared. Moonlight City put it down without violating the agreement of the year.
The Church of the Hill King completely drove out Moonlight City and Asa County as a result of this minor turmoil.
However, both Leo and Sylvia believed that the departure of the Church of the Hill King was not the end of this undercurrent of turmoil. They both felt that this was just the beginning.
On the third day, Kalij, the great butler of the Kuifan family, came to the hotel with the reward and handed the things to Leo and Sylvia.
There is no doubt that Kalij was careful about the reward. For example, the item he gave to Sylvia was a set of exquisite jewelry. If it were just jewelry, this thing would obviously be extremely valuable, but this set of jewelry is still
A set of magical objects specially created by wizards for witches. Its function is to assist witches in controlling the power within their bodies.
This set of jewelry is also very famous in the witch group. There are three sets of similar jewelry, all of which are in the hands of other witches. This set of witch jewelry may be the only one left in exile.
After Sylvia got this set of jewelry, she couldn't wait to try the effect. The result was naturally extremely satisfactory. Her control over the power in her body became much stronger. After using the ability, the wasted power was also eliminated.
Much less. She could only use the same ability three times before, but now she can use it five times. The effect has been significantly improved.
On the other side, the reward that Kalij prepared for Leo was not bad at all. What he gave was a wizard's notebook. This notebook was not written by the tower wizard, but was written by a very special wizard.
This wizard is called Barton, also known as the battle wizard.
In the wizard tower in Death Valley, Leo saw a book recording the deeds of famous wizards, and the wizard Barton was mentioned in it. Because there were other more important books to read at the time, Leo did not pay attention to it.
He read the book carefully and just flipped through it casually. As for the wizard Barton, he only remembered two things. The first was that the wizard Barton was a wandering wizard, and the second was that the wizard Barton had a very strong actual combat ability.
When Calij took out this notebook, Leo had already discovered that this notebook was not only a book recording Barton's witchcraft, but also a magical artifact because of the feeling and feeling it brought to Leo.
The crystal magic book in the storage space is somewhat similar, and the complex Turing characters on the cover of the note fully demonstrate its practicality.
It's a pity that this notebook is damaged. There is a crack in the notebook, which goes directly through the notebook. Judging from the shape and size of the crack and other details, it should be a church knight's sword. In the gap of the crack
There were some long-dried blood stains in the middle. It seemed that the wizard Barton was injured in the battle with the church. It was unknown whether he died or not.
Although the note is somewhat damaged, the pages inside are made of a very special animal skin paper and are very tough. Even if it is penetrated by a sword, it does not cause much damage. If you piece together the location where the sword penetrated, the writing is still clearly visible.
.
The content recorded in this notebook does not involve any powerful witchcraft. There are only four complete witchcrafts recorded in it, all of which are the most basic witchcraft. Even the wizards in the wizard assembly should be able to master them.
Learn these basic witchcraft techniques.
The most content in this notebook is some of the wizard Barton's techniques for using witchcraft. In Leo's opinion, these techniques are somewhat similar to psionic techniques, but some of the ideas are also similar to when Leo himself uses psionic powers or other witchcraft.
has the same idea, so this book is far more valuable to him than a tower wizard's witchcraft book.
Another and more important point is that this book is a magical artifact that he can decipher. From this book, he can find out the secrets of making magical artifacts and create a witchcraft book of his own.
"We are very satisfied with these two rewards." Sylvia said to Kalij after seeing Leo nod.
"I'm very happy to be able to satisfy you two." Kalij responded with a smile, then his expression became serious again, and said: "In addition, I hope that the two of you can leave Moonlight City immediately today, and in five days
Leave Yasha County within a few days."
"Old Kalij, are you giving me an order on behalf of the Kuifan family?" Sylvia looked at Kalij coldly and said.
"No, it's not an order, it's just a kind reminder." Kalij responded calmly, and before Sylvia could ask, he turned and left the room.
After Kalij left, Sylvia turned to look at Leo and asked, "It seems that the Kuifan family is clearing out the place."
Leo also nodded in agreement with Sylvia's inference, and asked doubtfully: "What exactly do the Kuifan family want? Is it just to prepare for the resolution of the internal struggle among the blood clan? In this case, why did they hold that auction again?
, and take out so many precious things?”
"What if the auction is the bait?" Sylvia suggested a possibility.
"If it's bait, then who are you trying to lure?" Leo asked back.
Both of them fell into deep thought, because if calculated according to this guess, many people seemed to agree with this condition, including Leo himself.
"Don't think too much. We had no intention of intervening in this matter. Now the Kuifan family's actions just agree with our wishes, don't they?" Leo said calmly.
Sylvia curled her lips and said: "Although I say so, one is that we left on our own, and the other is that we were driven away. Thinking about it always makes people feel a little unhappy."
In fact, they had been ready to leave in the past two days, and their bags were ready. Even if Kalijie didn't say that in the end, they would leave after getting paid again. It was just what Kalijie said.
That sentence actually made the meaning of leaving different.
"Let's go!" Leo didn't hesitate whether to be driven away or to leave on his own. He was more concerned about his next destination, the real tower in the mountains at the junction of Dalyat and Maris.
The wizard's tower is located.
The two left the room with their luggage, went down to the hotel, got on the carriage arranged by the hotel, and headed to Red Leaf Manor on the outskirts of Moonlight City.
When leaving, both Leo and Sylvia clearly felt that they were being watched. It was obvious that the vampires were confirming whether they had left. It was not until the carriage left the Moonlight City area that the sense of surveillance disappeared.
The Red Leaf Manor on the outskirts of Moonlight City was originally the property of the Vampires. However, after the Witches rescued the Vampires and made some agreements with the Vampires, the Vampires gave the manor to the Witches.
After acquiring this manor, because it was too close to Moonlight City, the Witches did not plan to set up a residence here. They just renovated the buildings and other things according to their wishes and turned it into a summer manor shared by the Witches.
, every once in a while, a witch will come here to take a vacation.
Sylvia came here by airship, and she stored the airship in Hongye Manor. This was not only because of the secluded environment here, but also because the witches' group had their own manpower here.
In the past, witch groups fought alone, so when the church hunted witches, even if the witches in the witch group were stronger than the church's hunters, most of them died under the siege of the hunters.
The witch also thought about forming her own human force, but at that time, most of the people who could be attracted by the witch were some shady family members, cultists, etc. This also made the witch's reputation even more infamous, making it difficult to
Then recruit useful manpower.
It was not until the church became weak and the power of the noble kingdom became stronger that the witches began to make friends with the noble forces and integrate into the nobles. This made the situation of the witches improve.
Although it is still difficult to directly recruit people, training them yourself is not a problem, so each witch will train loyal subordinates based on their own financial strength.
The people in Hongye Manor were trained by Salan, the king-selector, and these people are already considered the third or fourth generation. Their fathers and ancestors were all under Salan, and their level of loyalty is compared to that of the servant families of the great nobles.
They are more reliable, and because of Saran's painstaking training, these people are also very strong. Almost all of them are comparable to church knights, and some are even extraordinary.
Normally, these people would be arranged by Saran to stay on standby at the properties of several witch groups in the Kingdom of Maris. When something happens, they would be transferred to other places. Because Red Leaf Manor is in Yasha County, the church's power is the weakest.
