Shameless Warlock

? The Cebalon family controls the economic lifeline of Wildfire City.

The most important foreign economic source is Séron wine; a large amount of Séron wine is transported from the Port of Panto in the east to the Haiyan Islands, and then distributed to the south.

And these passenger ships will bring enough food from the south.

This is the capital that Wildfire City relies on.

Theron wine is not strictly a wine in the strict sense. Although it can produce an eerie alcoholic effect, there is no alcohol in its ingredients, and it is said that there is no fermentation during the brewing process.

This is more like an alcoholic beverage. After drinking Celon, ordinary people will have a very strong sense of pleasure, but their thinking will become very clear, their minds are also very calm, and they even have a sense of being close to gods.

This thing is mildly addictive, but not so dependent. Although everyone likes the feeling of high concentration and high-definition wakefulness, but without this feeling, there is no strong withdrawal reaction.

At least for the natives of Wildfire City, Theron wine is a high-end luxury; some people who are hostile to the Ceballon family hate their practice of pricing local Theron wine much higher than the price sold to southerners. .

It is said that the mages of the Eastern Kingdom love this kind of alcohol very much. It is no wonder that drinks that can increase concentration and even intelligence in a short time, even if a bit addictive, are also very popular for schoolmasters.

Every year, some malicious spellcasters try to take the Theron recipe.

But they all disappeared.

The plantation of Cebalon has also received many spellcasters who have visited, most of them did not cause trouble, and left low-key.

It is speculated that there are powerful professionals hidden in the Cebalon family.

But this has also become a strange story in Cebalon Manor.

Some people say that none of the mages who visited the Cebalon family plantation returned, and they were all killed by the people of Cebalon. The bones were buried under the ground and turned into living corpses.

It is also said that there is a terrifying demon in the plantation, he must regularly consume the noble flesh and blood of the caster, and the Cebalon family serves him, so he is tired of producing and dumping Theron wine cheaply.

In any case, the plantation of Cebalon is always covered with a veil.

Even the internal staff of Cebalon may not be eligible to enter the plantation; the entire production process is strictly divided into links, recruiting local people with knowledge and knowledge to work on time.

Many people don't even know which part they have completed.

Every year, some local ice plains disappear from the plantation, but they are all suppressed by the Ceballon family with high appeasement fees.

All in all, the plantation of the Cebalon family, like the Living Corpse Swamp, is a forbidden area in the north of Wildfire City.

...

"Theron is really delicious!"

Irene sighed obsessively: "I can't believe that such a delicious wine came from the hands of the devil. I believe that these anomalies are only made up by the enemies of Cebalon to slander them."

"My mind is very clear now, I can even infer what you are thinking now..."

Xu Nan frowned.

"You are the newly appointed City Lord Lord!"

Irene speaks surprisingly.

The people nearby were slightly commotion.

"The appearance of the sand people is rare in Wildfire City; the eagerness to inquire about information is very immature, indicating that you used to be a pampered guy; although you pretend to be a man, the sentence'I don't like **** "Exposure that you are actually a girl..." Irene squinted and analyzed it word by word.

"They all say that you have a Wildfire Exploitation Order in your hand, so you will be the next Lord of Wildfire City?"

"Am i right?"

Xu Nan was a little surprised.

He used some disguise when he went out.

He has also identified before that Irene is just a woman of ordinary qualities, without the ability of any professional.

Such an ordinary person, having drunk two cups of Theron, has a considerable degree of reasoning ability.

She pulled out even a word that she subconsciously disguised.

It can be seen that she looked at Floating, her mind is indeed very calm and clear.

Theron... is it really that powerful?

The Theron that Xu Nan drank that day was probably destroyed by poison, so it didn't feel much.

"Sir City Lord?"

Irene suddenly took Xu Nan's hand: "Let's go back and talk."

After all, in the eyes of the others, she took Xu Nan and left the Green Dragon Tavern in a familiar way, and came to a remote alley.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Nan looked at her warily.

"Nothing!" Irene hissed: "Among those people just now, there is an informant from the Blackwater Gang!"

"I have news that the people from the Blackwater Gang seem to be against you."

"It's safer here."

Xu Nan was quiet for a while, and there was a sound of footsteps in the alley next door, and then left.

Seems to be looking for someone.

"Why help me?" Xu Nan asked.

"Because you invited me to drink!"

Irene grinned and said, "I'm just a faceless bastard. The people who invite me to drink are all good people, not to mention the Theron!"

Xu Nan nodded, and wanted to leave.

Irene stopped him: "Wait when you become the lord of Wildfire City, can you make Theron wine cheaper?"

Xu Nan was surprised: "Are you addicted?"

Irene chuckled and said, "I just like the feeling of knowing everything; and after drinking, there will be many strange stories in my mind. My dream is to become a playwright. I just finished those two cups. , I suddenly thought about how to finish the script I had."

Can it give birth to inspiration?

This thing must sell well on the earth!

The Cebalon family guarded such a gold mine, but it was only managed like this? Is there any secret hidden story behind it?

Xu Nan touched her chin.

"I'm not sure about this kind of thing; but I will try hard."

Facing Irene's desire, Xu Nan could only answer vaguely.

"Well, I should go now."

Irene curled her hair happily: "When we meet next time, I will let you read my script!"

"By the way, Lord City Lord, let me tell you the last piece of information for free!"

"The barbaric development order in your hand may not be true; really, hehe, in the mage tower of the corpse swamp!"

After all, her figure disappeared into the alley.

It doesn't look like a bad-minded guy.

Popularity is also good locally.

You make a living purely by selling information. Do you write scripts by the way?

"interesting."

Xu Nan thought carefully about the conversation with Irene, and quietly returned to the mansion of the city lord.

Avoiding those obvious surveillance eyeliners, Xu Nan returned to the room happily.

As a result, there was a person sitting on his bed.

At that moment, Xu Nan's goose bumps rose:

"In the middle of the night, what are you doing in my bed?"

Grey looked very nervous. He grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, and saw Xu Nan coming in, Huo Ran stood up:

"I inquired!"

Xu Nan's heart relaxed a little, and immediately raised it again:

"What important information did you find out?"

Grey closed the door and solemnly said:

"I found out about the true whereabouts of the Wilderness Development Order!"

"Isn't it in the living corpse swamp of the northern icefield?" Xu Nan answered casually.

Grey showed a look of consternation: "How do you know?"

"I have the exact information, and all clues point to the mage tower!"

Xu Nan pondered:

"Speak slowly."

Grey took out an apple and gnawed at it and said, "We are all tricked."

"Behind this savage exploitation order, there are the shadows of the Minister of State for the Eastern Kingdom and the royal family."

"The two development orders are both fake. In fact, the wild development order has never appeared before. It has been staying in that mage tower!"

Xu Nan took a deep breath: "The royal family?"

The Eastern Kingdom is the Kingdom of the Rhine, the kingdom of the four princesses of Caesar led by the ice wind.

How did all this have to do with the royal family again? Isn't Wildfire City a place that the royal family cannot control?

Grey nibbled at the apple, straightened things out, and arrived.

...

Everything has to start with the death of Sir Patton.

After the death of Sir Barton, his followers rummaged through his relics, but they did not find the wildfire command that was sufficient to command the city of Wildfire; from then on, the city of Wildfire went to a fork in the city of no owner.

As a follower, Cebalon jumped up, relying on Theron wine, and gradually took control of Wildfire City.

But all this is very unwilling to see for the royal family.

The main battle faction within the kingdom even wanted to attack the Afalia civilization in the north and open up more land.

In some kind of political compromise, a conspiracy against Wildfire City was born.

The intelligence personnel of the royal capital entered the city of Wildfire and spread the news that Sir Patton's wild exploitation order was born; then they sold the fake exploitation order to the second lady of the quicksand land with the highest price. The background of the quicksand land made the politicians of the royal capital. Very satisfied, just as Cebalon needed a puppet city lord, so did the people in the royal capital.

But the people in Wildfire City were obviously misled. They believed that the opening up order was true, so someone secretly killed the second lady in Quicksand, and returned to Wildfire City to be sent by the scavenger. Grey thought the clues pointed to the Blackwater Gang, who were also poisoners.

But it doesn't matter.

The people of the royal capital and the people of the Cebalon family reached a certain tacit understanding. Wildfire City needs a city lord, and this person is naturally Xu Nan!

From this point of view, his position as the lord of the city is rather worry-free.

But the problem lies in the fact that the copper order in the hands of the scavengers was also forged by the intelligence personnel of the capital.

Barnes was also deceived, and when he found that he couldn't open the city lord's treasure chest, he was furious.

There is no way to reorganize the city hall and various committees without the seal in the city lord’s treasure chest...

The people in the royal capital wanted to force them to this position, and then forced them to continue to forge all documents.

In this way, not only did they achieve their goal, but to overthrow the city lord in the future also became evidence-based.

I have to say that these politicians are really vicious.

But the problem is.

The people in the ice field still have their bottom line.

Even if the people of the Cebalon family desperately needed a puppet city lord, they were unwilling to forge the contents of Sir Patton's treasure chest.

Things froze. Now the inside of the Cebalon family is said to be very angry, and the royal capital is also under pressure, to the effect that if you don't get a city lord for Wildfire City, they will send troops to attack.

This put Barnes in a dilemma.

Xu Nan doesn't matter... he is a soy sauce maker.

"I get it roughly."

He rubbed his temples:

"This matter seems to have nothing to do with us. Even if I become the lord of the city, we will not get any benefits."

Grey spit out the apple core, his eyes flickering:

"indeed so."

"Unless...we can find that really savage exploitation order!"

Xu Nan glanced at him and quickly understood his psychology.

This guy has invested too much energy and planning in supporting himself to become the lord of the city. If he can't get benefits after the event is done, he is afraid he will be very unwilling.

If you give up now, everything you did before is wasted; in terms of financial management, the sunk cost is a bit high.

So he began to lean towards some dangerous options.

For example, get that really savage exploitation order.

"My friend in Mithril Castle sent a message, and I just received it."

Grey took out the second apple and continued to gnaw:

"He went to the knowledge hall of Mithril Castle to check the information for me and found some old things."

"When Sir Barton made his contribution, he was surrounded by a mysterious mage follower; that is, the owner of the mage tower in the swamp of living corpses!"

"The wizard met Sir Patton once before he died, and then left. It is said that he wandered around, and no one knew his whereabouts anymore; Sir Patton must have given him the savage exploitation order. "

"Furthermore, according to my friend's speculation, there is a ninety-nine chance that the Wilderness Development Order is in that mage tower!"

His eyes are already shining.

"As long as we get the real development order, the Lord of Wildfire City is ours!"

"The people of Cebalon must be loyal to us unconditionally. Regarding the nature of the Bingyuan people, we can rest assured."

Xu Nan frowned:

"Mage tower or something, it is too dangerous."

"I won't go!"

Grey sneered: "I didn't let you go, you just need to live obediently."

"I go by my own!"

"But afterwards, I want more money!"

Xu Nan was silent.

He was calculating the pros and cons, and the veracity of Grey's intelligence.

To be honest, it is not unusual for a high-level mercenary such as Grey to have friends in a sacred place of knowledge like Mithril Fort.

It is not surprising that there are related records of Sir Patton and the wizard in the knowledge hall of Mithril Castle.

What Xu Nan cares about is ~www.readwn.com~ what kind of strength the owner of that mage tower has!

Is he still alive?

You know, trespassing into a master tower, basically you don’t know how to die!

"Do you have any information about that wizard?"

Xu Nan spoke slowly, breaking the rigid atmosphere.

Grey spit out the third apple core:

"Not much information."

"There is only one name."

"It seems to be called... Jules Emerson..."

Xu Nan showed a thoughtful look.

This name is a bit familiar.
