Under the guidance of the servant, the three Rennes quickly arrived at the living room and met the copper mine owner, Mr. Baraba Simenko.
When Ren and the others saw the copper mine owner in the reception room, the short and stocky human businessman was sitting at the table in the reception room, eating and drinking as if no one else was around.
Seeing this scene, Ren's eyebrows wrinkled without a trace, and Angelica and Leolina also had a faint look of disgust on their faces.
The first impression this copper mine owner gave them was that he was rude and greedy, just like a wild boar that had escaped from the wilderness into civilized society.
"Sir Barabbas, I have brought three guests here."
The servant said to the copper mine owner.
"I see."
Baraba Simenko impatiently waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave.
Then, he lifted up the sleeves of his silk clothes and wiped the corners of his oil-stained mouth carelessly before raising his eyes to look at Ren and the others.
This series of information made Baraba Simenko dizzy. When he found that the female mage also started chanting a spell, he finally panicked.
Ring of Oak?
Stoneblind barbarians are strong humanoid creatures with thick gray scales and no eyes. Although these tall creatures have no vision, they have a strong sense of smell and hearing.
If he guessed correctly, this copper mine owner who looked short and fat was actually a rogue with a high professional level!
"Oh, young paladin, there is no real evidence, but you can't scare anyone." (Intimidation failed)
For the stone blind barbarians, fresh meat is the best food, and human flesh is the best of the best.
After listening to the female mage's words, Baraba Simenko's attitude was not as tough as he had been with Renn just now. Instead, he frowned and looked troubled.
"I am willing to do my best to serve you."
Baraba Simenko suggested.
"Hmph, our Oak Ring was almost deceived by you, a bastard. I didn't expect that you would actually associate with the enemy of nature by mining copper mines, so there is nothing to say! Feel the anger from nature!"
"Guys, do you think I want to cooperate with that group of lunatics? The morning after I rejected them, they put the head of my right-hand man next to my pillow! I know that this is what they gave me
My warning!" Baraba Simenko said through gritted teeth, "If I have the chance, I would naturally want to give them a hard blow. Moreover, I also have evidence of their collusion with others."
"Also, you need to reduce the size of the copper mine to avoid causing greater harm to the surrounding environment."
Ren confirmed in a cold voice.
"In this case, let's trouble Mr. Baraba. This matter should be done sooner rather than later, before Ragnolin Shenshi and Ebony will discover the clues. Let's rest for the night and enter the mine early tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I admit that I do have business dealings with the Black Hand Gang, but they are all just to cover up for an organization called the 'Ebony Society'."
Renn raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest.
After all, not everyone can bear the pressure of her moody teacher.
After all, in this person's opinion, the nearby Legendary Mage of Destiny is more intimidating than the guardian temple in another city.
Mr. Barabbas's hands were nothing like the hands of a copper mine owner. They were delicate and smooth, without a trace of calluses on them.
Because only by keeping your hands delicate can you ensure the flexibility of your hands to the greatest extent possible.
As Ren spoke, he put his right hand on the scabbard of his sword, and with the peripheral vision of his eyes, he inadvertently glanced at the copper mine owner's big palm-like hands.
Noticing that the other party frowned slightly after seeing it, the female mage smiled and said:
"Just a few days ago, an apprentice from the Mage Tower suddenly disappeared in the Giant's Roaring Tavern. According to the identification of the Black Hand Gang, the last clue was related to Mr. Baraba. I think if possible, I would like to ask Mr. Baraba to go there in person.
Mage Tower, it’s better to explain it clearly to the teacher face to face.”
Faced with the kindness of the copper mine owner, the three Rennes did not refuse.
"The Ebony Club?" Ren's eyes narrowed. The next moment, accompanied by the clear sound of sword chanting, the paladin drew his sword out of its sheath, pointed the sword tip directly at the opponent, and said in a cold voice, "Cultist! It seems you don't need to protect him.
The temple, I will personally purify you here!"
This kind of humanoid creature is the degeneration of humans. Their ancestors worshiped and followed the mind flayers for generations and lived lurking in the underdark, eventually degenerating into blind and burly man-eating monsters.
In an instant, the entire living room became quiet again, with only the sound of the female mage's fingers tapping on the armrests.
"Well," Baraba Simenko was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Beautiful lady, what you don't know is that the reason why this copper mine expanded its mining scale is because of Ragnolin Shenshi's work in the dark.
It was carried out under the instruction of the Tan Club. The guy once said when he was drunk that the Ebon Club had a secret dark temple deep in the copper mine, which was connected to the mine through an elevator. However, other information, that old cunning man
The guy didn’t reveal much to me.”
"Everyone, I have guest rooms in my manor. You can rest here."
Hearing Ren's promise, the copper mine owner showed a hint of joy on his face.
He lowered his head and said.
In Ren's impression, the only ones with such delicate hands were the wanderers.
But in such a silent environment, such sounds unknowingly put great psychological pressure on this rude copper mine owner.
The female mage is completely pulling on the tiger's skin to make a banner.
Baraba Simenko said calmly.
"Are you Mr. Baraba Simenko?"
Baraba Simenko sneered, stood up from his seat, and looked behind Ren.
"You three are the ones looking for me?"
"Very good!" Ren was extremely satisfied with the information revealed by the copper mine owner. He raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, "Mr. Baraba, it seems that you are willing to cooperate with us. In this case, when the matter is over,
On behalf of the Guardian Temple, I will give you a good word to the mage and the city lord's palace."
Miss Ranger is trying her best to play the role of a Ring of Oak Ranger.
The female mage asked aloud.
The copper mine owner waved his hands repeatedly and tried his best to explain his relationship with the Ebony Society, hoping that the other party would not accidentally hurt good people.
"Following the order of the Bishop, we tracked all the way to Lahar City. Now the Black Hand gang has identified you, saying that you have colluded with those rats who cannot see the light of day, and have provided us with evidence.
Well, dear Mr. Baraba Simenko, I think you should have time now to go to the Guardian Temple with us and explain your problem under the gaze of the Lord of Guardians. Oh, by the way, I
This person is impatient and doesn’t have much patience.”
"Very well, Mr. Baraba, as a paladin guarding the temple, I need to tell you some unfortunate news, that is, you are in big trouble!"
Baraba Simenko rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
"Just, how should we enter the mine? I wonder if Mr. Baraba has any good suggestions."
Cultist?
Natural enemy?
Yes, in the temple area of Lahar City, there is no church of the God of Contract and Guardianship, only the churches of the three new gods, the God of Law and Punishment, the God of Love and Art, and the God of Commerce and Wealth.
The copper mine owner was 10,000% unwilling to go to the Mage Tower to meet her dear teacher.
"If you are looking for the copper mine owner in Lahar City, then I am the one."
"Mr. Barabbas, I hope you can think about it carefully and never go astray."
Renn took a few steps forward, walked to the other side of the table, looked at the copper mine owner, and spoke word by word.
"I can provide several certificates to prove that you are the experts specially invited by me to check the operation of this copper mine."
Mage's Hand, the most commonly used zero-ring trick among spellcasters.
"this……"
Renn made a decisive decision.
"You actually got together with the Stoneblind Barbarians?" Ren's eyes suddenly turned sharp. He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "If what you said is true, then wait until that Ragnolin Chen Shifufa
Afterwards, I will propose to the City Lord’s Mansion on behalf of the Guardian Temple that I will hand over the full responsibility of this copper mine to you, but you will need to pay money equal to the value of the other party’s share.”
Less than half a cup of tea later, Baraba Simenko finally said dejectedly:
Since he is an expert, it is naturally impossible for him to enter the mine at night. That would be too unreasonable.
"This guy is not telling the truth, or in other words, he is not telling everything he knows!"
"Oh? Tell me."
Angelica also took off the composite long bow from her back, bent the bow and set an arrow, and said coldly:
After Leonina finished speaking, she sat down on the guest's chair with a smile, tapping her slender right index finger on the armrest of the chair.
She was sure that the copper mine owner must have his own dirty little secret, and it was simply wishful thinking to keep it secret in front of a legendary mage.
"So, two beautiful ladies, you are also here to cause trouble for me?"
The owner of the copper mine looked around and then lowered his voice and said: "This copper mine is actually not decided by me alone. In addition to me, Ragnolin Shenshi is also an investor in this copper mine, and
He occupies a larger share. According to my private investigation, he was the first person to cooperate with the other party. My personnel once reported to me that in the mining area in charge of Ragnolin, stone stones were seen more than once.
The figure of the blind barbarian."
However, in the shadow, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little penetrating.
"Mr. Baraba, I am a disciple of the great master Albreed Odegaard. This is my proof of identity." Leolina snapped her fingers, and the paper was carried by an invisible hand and sent to the copper mine owner.
in front of.
Angelica also added.
Seeing this, Ren winked at Angelica and sat down as well, waiting for the copper mine owner's reply.
However, after they separated from each other, the expressions on both Ren's and Leolina's faces became solemn.
In the guest room, Ren closed the door and whispered.
"Well, I feel the same way. His eyes make me feel that I am not that panicked. It seems that he has been waiting for this day for a long time. Maybe 90% of the information he gave us is true, but
The most critical 10% is very likely to be fake!"
The female mage turned the staff in her hand and said quietly.
Eh?
Why didn't I notice it?
Miss Ranger blinked her eyes, looked at Ren, and then at Leolina. For the first time, she felt that her brain was not enough.
