Aphrodite took Surdak to several trading houses in the city of Halanza, and finally took out thirty sets of magic pattern structures sent by merchant Malacom from the warehouse. Surdak
This is the end of this trip.
The two of them had dinner at the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant. Before leaving, they happened to see Karl, Lance, Viscount Emmett, and several nobles whom Suldak didn't know getting off the carriage at the door of the restaurant.
People were walking and chatting, and it was obvious that the atmosphere was very lively.
Karl has now become the grand leader of the Knights of the Guard Battalion, and Viscount Emmett has already taken a back seat.
Lance Magician has now become the most competitive successor to the Hellanza Magic Union Law Enforcement Group. He will take over this position just waiting for Captain Jerrold to retire next year.
This group of people are almost all very famous nobles in the city of Helensa.
The waiter in the restaurant didn't dare to be negligent. He immediately ran out to greet me with his butt sticking out, not even daring to raise his head when saluting.
The location chosen by Surdak and Aphrodite happened to be in the corner of the hall. Whether outside or in the hall, it was almost impossible to see this place over many obstacles.
So the two of them were not in a hurry to leave. Aphrodite slowly cut the medium-rare steak into neat cubes and spread it with black pepper sauce. Even the cauliflower on the side of the plate was cut perfectly.
, and then put it on each meat cube, and then pushed the dinner plate to Suldak.
"Are you really ready to open the merit exchange list to those indigenous warriors?" Aphrodite asked.
At present, the merit exchange list of the West Route Army is not only open to the entire West Route Army, but also to those outside adventure groups.
Although this matter is not fully made clear, brokers can find soldiers in the military camp to make deals. Surdak completely turns a blind eye, which means that he has a laissez-faire attitude.
"Of course! I'm not just talking."
After Suldak finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth.
"I need to let these aborigines of the Aigrod clan understand the outside world as soon as possible and adapt to the lifestyle of the Green Empire as much as possible. Only then will they try to avoid being exploited by merchants in the future. This integration will make their
As life changes, there will inevitably be some resistance from the conservative tribes and indigenous people."
Seeing that Aphrodite didn't understand, he continued to explain:
"They need to understand the prices in the empire. Everyone needs to establish a price list in their hearts and understand the pros and cons..."
Aphrodite rolled her golden eyes. (Her pores were originally purple)
This is the innate ability of the succubus to 'disguise'. She asked Surdak:
"There are so many indigenous warriors in the Beishankou camp. Have you ever thought about... once they all have a demand for the items on the merit exchange list, what kind of huge exchange power is there? How many rewards do you need to prepare to meet their needs?
?”
"I hope they demand more of them. I will lose money with these merit rewards..." Surdak said nonchalantly.
"Okay, you just decide!" Aphrodite said.
The two also ordered a bottle of white wine.
This is the best-tasting wine in the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant. It has a sour aftertaste with a hint of bitterness and sweetness. It will taste better after being chilled, at least this is what Suldak thinks.
Surdak only drank half a cup. Aphrodite liked the feeling of being tipsy after a meal, so she drank until her face turned slightly red.
Even the waiter on the side was attracted by her beauty and couldn't help but keep peeking at Aphrodite's side face.
At this time in Helensa City, the red sun was just hidden among the mountains.
Once the sun sets, it gets dark very quickly here, and dusk here is shorter than elsewhere.
The number of pedestrians on the street continues to decrease, but there is still an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages. It can be seen that the city of Helensa is much more prosperous than before.
People have even begun to queue up at the entrance of the restaurant, waiting for a table. The owner of the restaurant has built an awning outside as a waiting area, and the long rows of chairs inside are almost full of people.
The magic caravan that Karl was riding in was parked on the street outside, with two knights from the guard camp standing by, seemingly chatting with the coachman.
Aphrodite, who was lowering his head to carefully cut the steak with a table knife, looked out the window with some confusion at this time, attracting Suldak's eyes to fall outside. Just when he was a little confused about what happened outside, a sudden sound in the air
A faint magical wave came over.
That kind of breath carries some unknown danger, and it's also a very powerful black magic breath.
Surdak turned to look at Aphrodite, and then she asked: "Did you notice it too?"
Surdak nodded, and then asked Aphrodite: "Is it black magic?"
Aphrodite did not answer, and her eyes fell on a roof across the street. When Suldak looked over, he happened to see a magician in black robes flying out of the roof riding a magic broom.
In the Green Empire, the city is a recognized no-fly zone. Unless they are the law enforcement team of the magic union, all magicians are not allowed to fly around on magic broomsticks within the city limits.
The magician across the street exudes the aura of black magic. He is obviously a black magician.
To be honest, the black magicians have disappeared in Helensa City for at least five years, and many people have even forgotten what they have done.
His face was hidden in the shadow of the conical hat, and he was flying very fast in the air, making it difficult for people to see his face clearly.
But almost as soon as Suldak's eyes fell on him, he controlled the magic broom to hover in mid-air outside the Three Bears restaurant. He could be seen through the window reciting the magic spell, and a line appeared on his chest.
A clear six-pointed star-shaped magic pattern formation, and a black shadow arrow appeared in the center of the formation.
Aphrodite was wary at first, but seeing that the black magician's target was not them, she dispersed the concentrated magic power.
On the other hand, Surdak sat aside and said with some loss of voice: "No, their target is Karl!"
As he spoke, he rushed out from the dining table, drew out the sword of Kurwin from his waist, and killed the black magician who suddenly broke into his field of vision.
But Aphrodite reached out and held her shoulder, saying: "I will handle this matter..."
As he spoke, he took out the mithril mask and put it on his face, then stretched out his slender fingers and tapped lightly in front of the glass window facing the street of the Three Bears Restaurant. With the sound of the glass exploding, Aphrodite stepped out of the window.
The restaurant came outside.
And Surdak also knew what Aphrodite meant, and it was really inconvenient for him to show up at this time.
So taking advantage of the broken window, Suldak decisively left a few silver coins on the dining table, took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the street, crowded with pedestrians on the corner of the street.
His movements were super fast, and everyone's eyes almost fell on Aphrodite who came out of the broken window. No one noticed that he quietly blended into the crowd.
The shadow arrow had been shot out, penetrated the glass window on the second floor of the restaurant, and exploded in a room on the second floor...
Then there was a magician covered with a golden light shield. It could be seen that he was affected by the explosion just now. His handsome face was scratched with a scar, and the magic robe on his body was also somewhat damaged. He must have failed to open it in time.
The magic shield was affected by the shadow arrow just now.
The magician who was holding a magic shield and looking out of the window to investigate the situation was none other than Lance.
This guy casually tore up a third-level magic scroll 'Magic Shield', which looked really luxurious.
Surdak cursed in his heart.
Karl did not show up in the restaurant, but Suldak did notice that he and Viscount Emmett were leaving from the stairs on the second floor.
At this time, Aphrodite did not give the black magician a chance to release the second black magic. She did not release her best "charm" and "hypnosis", nor did she release the summoning circle to summon her demon servant "Evil".
Eye', just taking advantage of the moment when the black magician finished singing, he tore open a magic scroll.
A ball of flame flew out from Aphrodite's palm. The fireball barely left any trace in the air, and it exploded on the black magician's face at the speed of a flash.
The flames instantly swallowed the black magician's entire face...
After the black magician screamed, he covered his face with both hands almost simultaneously, but he forgot that he was riding a magic broom suspended in the air. Without the continuous input of his own magic power, the magic broom fell instantly.
The black magician just fell straight out of the air, and with a series of miserable screams, all the assassination style in him disappeared in an instant.
Perhaps he fell too hard, and the magician lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up. The knights from the guard camp who were guarding the magic caravan had already rushed into the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant, and the knights from the guard camp who followed behind
Seeing that the black magician who assassinated Captain Karl actually fell from the sky, he immediately surrounded him and put the knight's sword on the black magician's neck, not letting him speak at all.
The black magician stomped on his stomach.
Just as the black magician was about to recite a spell, he was interrupted by these knights from the guard camp. He could only curl up on the ground and hold his head and howl.
Aphrodite looked at another roof ridge. Without saying anything, she took out a magic broom, mounted it and flew towards that roof ridge.
A black magician immediately appeared from the ridge of the house, riding a magic broom and flying towards the outside of the city without looking back.
Aphrodite didn't chase the black magician, and just rode a magic broomstick around here.
…
Surdak did not believe in a well-planned assassination operation. The dark magic monastery only sent one or two ordinary black magicians.
At this time, he looked inside the Three Bears Barbeque Restaurant and saw the embarrassed Karl, surrounded by a group of guard knights, rushing out of the stairs on the first floor. However, they did not choose to run out from the main entrance of the restaurant, but instead
Turn around and walk through the cold storage corridor where fresh meat is stored in the restaurant, and quickly escape from the back of the restaurant.
When Suldak saw this situation, he only had time to curse 'idiot' in his heart.
At this time, it is far safer to run out from the alley at the back than to run out from the front door.
Karl's magic caravan is waiting on the street in front of the Three Bears Restaurant. A group of knights from the guard camp have also rushed to Karl's side. As long as they board the magic caravan, these black magicians may give up the assassination operation.
But Karl chose to run from the back. Even if there were a few more guard camp knights around him, there might be black magicians waiting in the alley behind.
Surdak sighed and could only turn around and run along the narrow alley next to the Three Bears restaurant towards the back street.
When he was running towards Houjie, he saw two black magicians flying out of the alleyway. The two black magicians saw Surdak just blocking them in front of them. They looked surprised and said to Su
The front of Erdak was separated to the left and right.
Surdak had no way to intercept the two magicians at the same time, so he could only select the black magician flying around on the left and rush to his flight path in advance to wait.
The black magician who surrounded him from the left never expected that a simple assassination mission would lead to him encountering strong human beings one after another.
When he flew to the T-junction of the alleyway, he took the opportunity to look back when he turned, and found that Suldak was not catching up from behind, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief...
But when he felt a fierce murderous aura in front of him and turned around hastily, he found that the nobleman holding a long sword was standing in front of him.
Surdak gave the magician almost no chance to react. Anyway, when he saw the black magician flying over with secret joy, he jumped towards the black magician.
To kill a second-level expert, the black magician almost didn't have time to make any move, and his head was suddenly missing.
The magic broom under him also fell with the body of the black magician, and a ball of magic flame exploded.
Surdak looked to the left and right and saw that no one was chasing him, and immediately hurried out of the alley.
Aphrodite once again eliminated the two black magicians who had blended into the crowd, and then the dim light quietly left.
Surdak also hid in the crowd and left the garden square of Helensa City.
Not long after, the embarrassed Karl, escorted by a group of knights from the guard camp, hurriedly boarded the magic caravan.
Surdak, who then joined Aphrodite, joked: "This assassination... Karl may be the most embarrassing commander of the guard battalion in the history of Helensa City..."
After the two met on Doronval Street, Aphrodite took Suldak back to the house she rented.
"Why do you think someone would assassinate Karl?" Aphrodite turned to ask Surdak.
"Maybe someone wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the power around Lady Mariana, and then drive her away from the position of consul little by little." When Suldak said this, his face became colder little by little.
"So Karl became the first target..."
Aphrodite added from the side.
Surdak's face became even more ugly at this time. It seemed that more than half a year after he left Helensa City, someone was once again eyeing the big cake on the plate...
