Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 72 The Adventure of Smuggling

Before the dew had evaporated, Ralph appeared in front of Lyle's house.

His trench coat never took off, and the mud on his boots fell by gravity.

"We have a field assignment that leaves in four days, and until then, all your work has been cancelled, leaving time for preparations."

"What mission?"

"In Nalanya, a neighboring province, there was a murder case. The deceased was the eldest son of a baron. The Nalanya Sheriff's Office offered us assistance. After the exchange of interests, our group needs to go to Nalanya."

"I still can't understand why it is us. Maybe you are indeed an excellent police force, but Karen and I are just newcomers."

"Because we have the military assistance of the Holy Light, and at the same time, as a participant in the Raphaelin Wolf case, those gentlemen believe that you are very talented in this area, and I can't refuse their nomination."

"So, this case is also weird?"

"That's why we need to borrow the power of the Holy Light. Of course, if you can get that kid William again, we will have a lot more chips. Old Ba Jin has passed away, and we don't have a better companion (tool man) for the time being."

"I can't guarantee, what monsters may appear this time?"

"vampire."

.........

Time seems to stand still in the ghetto, you won't see the slightest change, the filthy muddy ground, the emaciated figures huddled in the corners, the muffled gasps, the mad urge to survive.

Eyeballs rolling, hands hidden in shadows.

Lyle's cuffs were soaked, and the talent ball covered the back of his hand like a film of water, ready to be catapulted to the next attacker.

Approaching the slum without Ralph's company, Lyle seemed to be walking into a jungle surrounded by beasts, and his nerves were tense.

There was a shredding sound from behind, like a blade cutting sackcloth.

what is that?
"It's me, baby Lyle." Medusa stuck her head out from under Lyle's coat, her claws rubbing against her fluttering coat.

"Medusa! I'm doing business."

"What do you mean by doing business is to keep an eye on a group of people crawling in the mud?"

"You have a unique talent for independence and a wand that can think independently. Wolves will not regard lambs as enemies, because they are just prey. Your water polo can easily turn a head off, and I can quickly bite them off. carotid artery."

"So, should I focus more on efficiency, rather than focusing on these inconspicuous little things?"

"So you should spend more time talking to your precious wand sister instead of looking around like a neurotic."

"..."

.........

Lao Ba Jin's dilapidated house is still in the same place, and the disgusting smell of soup and medicine has not changed.

This is the only place where Lyle can try his luck with William, and communicate with him about the new field work. The main purpose is to explore cooperation in the secret realm next.

Pushing open the door, in front of you is the corridor leading to the living room, and the stairs leading to the second floor on the other side. According to the previous experience, William should be in the attic room under the stairs.

Lyle walked in that direction.

Just stuck out the right foot.

"careful!"

There was a sudden upward traction from the heels, the body leaned back, the back of the head slammed firmly on the threshold, the brain was hit and remained dizzy, and the body was hanged upside down.

Lyle falls into an invisible trap.

When his mind regained consciousness, the well-dressed William appeared in his field of vision. He added a rust-like yellow cloak to himself, with the same smile on his face as before, but the smile at this moment was annoying.

"Look at what you've done, William."

"Sorry, my brother," said insincerely, William removed a seven-foot wooden stick with a threaded pattern from behind him, and as the end of the stick moved, the invisible lasso lowered Lyle. In such an environment, we have to be careful, there are many people here who are thinking about this broken building, and the effect of invisible powder is good."

"Is that your wand?"

"Yes." William threw the thread wood in the air, "It's quite practical, much better than a spell, under normal circumstances."

"Lyle, when you're here, does that mean you're ready to go on an adventure with me?"

"Yes, and another reason is that I have another field mission. Are you willing to go out, great wizard, the price is negotiable."

"That nun is there too?"

"Karen is a paladin, and she's there."

"I have to raise the price. I'll spend some energy on disguising. By the way, is this an independent task for you?"

"No, Ralph is still leading the team."

"The deal is cancelled, there is no room for it."

"What about our brotherhood?"

"Don't talk about feelings under the premise of life-threatening."

"Okay, when does the Uncharted Expedition start?"

"In an hour, we will meet at the seventh block of Cassandale. By the way, according to the latest reliable information, make a good disguise and cover your whole body."

How the rules sound so familiar is no problem to Lyle, after all, the epidemic doctor has been working for a long time, "No problem."

.........

William put himself into a clown suit, with a bulging belly in stark contrast to his stature, a three-cornered hat and a clown mask, and at this point he was as striking as Lyle.

"Ha, it's really convenient to be a doctor by sub-profession, you just need to wear work clothes."

"Where did your clothes come from?"

"Leaving from the circus before, forced by life."

The two moved forward on the main road of the seventh district. Lyle still had an impression on this road, because the thirteenth district was Cassandel's cemetery, and Andre's family mausoleum was deep within it.

The two stopped at a storefront.

Black Bookstore.

It's a bakery that I've seen myself, and it seems that this place is not ordinary.

There are long loaves scattered in the stalls, and the way they are arranged is staggered, so there is no desire to buy.

The shop owner is a strong bald man with a curvy moustache. He wears a light gray apron with holes that does not hide his strong muscles. His eyes are big copper bells, and he stands in front of the shop like a security guard. Keep the gate firmly guarded.

The windows are made of kraft paper and tarpaulin, so you can't see the inside of the store.

William walked up, "Shopkeeper, I buy bread."

"On the counter, take it yourself."

"These don't work."

"Then what do you want?"

"I want [Roman bread]." It seemed like he was swearing.

"Oh, have you brought enough money?" The shop owner seemed a little moved.

"Take it, take it."

"Several people?"

"Both of us."

The shopkeeper's eyes swept across the two of them. "Come in." He walked into the store first.

Lyle followed.

The interior was empty and unfurnished, and the two were taken into a small room, with a thin black robe standing at the door.

"Give me the money and stand in the middle of the circle."

William took out two gold coins.

Oliu.

Hei Pao nodded with satisfaction, "It's actually the real thing, then according to the contract, just do the work honestly."

Lyle and William walked into the circle, and they were teleported away with an incomprehensible spell.

Lyle noticed that the magic circle was a black inverted pentagram, and the purple magic pattern revealed from the gap when the black robe chanted the incantation.

A black tower with lightning appeared in front of the two of them, with a rough architectural style, and a spiral thundercloud gathered at the top of the tower.

At this time, the two were in a dirty alley, and a figure with a masked face pushed the two of them.

"Okay, here it is, get out, don't get in the way."

The sturdy arm he was pushing was wrapped with purple magic lines, and William watched in amazement as the black crystals on his body came out.

The two walked out.

William muttered on the side.

"Lyle, we are considered illegal intrusion, don't panic, you have to disguise and play yourself as a regular visitor, remember, be sure, keep calm."

Lyle looked at William, whose body was shaking with excitement.

"Ok."

Lyle turned around and walked towards the demon guard who was standing aside with the battle axe.

"Brother, where is the dark area?"

"Dark Third District, Sin City."
