Shaman from Afar

"I am back."

With a breeze-like soft voice, the delicate girl pushed open the door, closed the door again after entering the room, and the room without light fell into darkness again.

Walking in the darkness, Ariel Corona stepped forward without hesitation, bare feet collided on the cold floor, and the crisp sound stopped in front of a huge back chair.

"Sit down, don't be so restrained when you get home, don't treat yourself as a guest."

A warm voice came from the opposite side. Although you can hear the voices of some ages, you can't tell whether they are male or female. Ariel, her head bowed and her eyes awkward, climbed onto the chair familiarly, sitting in the center of the chair with her legs like a well-behaved cat, with long gray hair scattered behind her.

"I heard you met a very interesting young wizard from the Principality of Lotel when you came." The voice across from the girl asked: "Can you tell me this Lord Loren Turin, what What attracted you? "

"He's not just a wizard." The girl shook her head, and the eyes of the godless for the first time showed some color: "He still has something special in him."

"Special ... something?" The original gentle voice suddenly became a little nervous: "Are you sure?"

"He hides well, but Ariel can still feel it." The girl's voice was very convinced, and the gray eyes were very determined: "But he was very cautious, and he never exposed any flaws that were hard to find. "

"Of course." The voice was very understandable: "If it is found, even in Ebden, it is impossible to protect him. The only end is to be sent to the torture rack by the Holy Cross Church!"

"Ariel has invited him to be a guest, what should I do next?" The girl stared at the voice in the dark: "Is it necessary to extinguish his mouth, or to imprison him?"

"No, if it is as you said, it must be a very difficult thing to catch him. Even if it succeeds, it is very difficult to hide this thing." The "person" on the opposite side rejected this proposal: "Not to mention, We are not necessary to be against him, are we?

"But he is a threat to Ariel. He has already noticed it. It's only a matter of time." The delicate girl suddenly showed a little fear.

"In that case, let him become our friend-since there is no need for hands-on, but it can pose enough threats to you, such a person should not become our enemy, at least should not be hostile."

After hearing this proposal, Ariel nodded: "Yes, Loren Turin once said that he came to Ebden to hope to find a friend.

But his purpose should be more than that. He did not fully tell the truth, there must be other purposes. "

"Any shrewd wizard will not tell anyone the truth, not to mention that this lord is no longer just a wizard." The gentle voice said without surprise: "No matter what he wants to do, we may as well Help him, try to make him owe us some favors, and then further contact.

And ... I have a hunch that what he wants to do may help us. "

.................. The night came, and there were only a few drunkards lying in front of the table in the hotel lobby, and the hotel guys who were packing up. Pedestrians were no longer visible on the street outside the gate, only the sea breeze blowing in the distance and the stars under the night.

On the messy table, the innkeeper who had been drunk for a long time snorted in the soup bowl, still holding the leftover bone in his hand, and piled large and small bottles on the side.

The dark-haired wizard sitting opposite was drinking ale with a pleasant sip—although the taste was a bit bitter, the refreshing mellowness was genuine. Cheap and affordable, making this drink a must-have for every hotel pub.

And the information from the mouth of this somewhat greedy hotel owner has already covered the cost paid by Loren. After all, the guy who opened the hotel has all kinds of gossip and other things that are not lacking in the ears. Intelligence.

The first is about the famous "Bellini family"-Loren had known a little before he came, but he only knew that Ebden was different from the rest of the empire. It was the powerful and powerful in the city. Controlled by a "free council" composed of nobles.

The nobles of Ebden are also different from other regions. They do not measure strength by the size of the territory, but how much wealth and control they have. Of course, there is essentially no difference between the two.

The Bellini family is one of the strongest large families, because they have controlled nearly half of Ebden ’s seaport and ocean trade, and have a say in Ebden ’s fleet.

At the same time, because of the pharmacy recipe of the genius alchemist Alto Bellini-this alchemy potion that can cure all diseases, there is nothing in the past that the Bellini family invented, all the wizards at once They had to bow their heads to this copper-smelling family.

The Corona family, they are also one of the important forces of Ebden, but they are more low-key than the Bellini family. They also trade, but the power is concentrated among the wizards. They have the largest alchemy workshop in Ebden, and the largest number of wizards they fund.

At the same time, the family is also the high-level of the Nine-Man Star Wizard Tower. It has frequent contacts with many famous wizards and has a very strong influence.

In short, if the Bellini family is the governor of the business class in Ebden, then the Corona family is the shaman.

This analogy is not appropriate, because in Ebden, it is normal and common for nobles to become wizards, and most of them have their own workshops and caravans-but at least in the eyes of many civilians, the two families are like this.

At present, because of Alto Bellini's alchemy remedies, all kinds of weird rumors are circulating throughout Ebden. The dizzy hotel owner who swallowed the oath told Loren that the Bellini family intended to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat the Corona family and become the absolute ruler of Eboden.

This can be imagined by Loren-with a potion that can cure any disease, the Bellini family will gain unprecedented prestige, and will even surpass the Holy Cross Church, although the church's influence in this city is minimal ...

Wait, there seems to be something wrong, and Loren carrying the glass suddenly falls into a state of contemplation.

What would you do if you got this kind of medicinal formula that can cure all diseases?

In general, there are only two conventional methods-either hide it, treat it as a treasure at the bottom of the box, and only give it to yourself and people who can be absolutely trusted, and you can only consider whether to use it at the last minute.

The other is to promote it as much as possible. It is best to be able to achieve the status of everyone. Use this potion to earn huge prestige and wealth for yourself, and at the same time be able to communicate with those who are far more powerful than yourself. Establish a relationship network.

The advantage of the former is that it is safe ~ www.readwn.com ~ But unless it is really an emergency, most of the time it has no effect; the latter can maximize its value as much as possible, but it will certainly attract prying eyes. Gaze, and offend more people when they draw some allies.

At least the Holy Cross Church will definitely not want to see the existence of this potion, because it is almost equivalent to denying that the "miracle" of the Holy Cross is unique; at the same time, all the pharmacists will hate them, there is really a cure For all diseases, they are equivalent to unemployment.

And now the Bellini family ’s approach seems to be the second kind, but it is actually closer to the first one-yes, they do know this thing so well that the night watchman ca n’t help thinking. To take it away; in fact, very few people have actually seen it, in addition to gossip and caused too much influence.

What exactly caused this result? Loren had seen the potency of this potion with his own eyes, and even just letting the broken finger grow out again, it was enough to shock the world.

Is it because of peeping eyes, or ... this potion is not as perfect as rumored?

"It seems that we still have to visit the famous nine-man star wizard tower."
