Shameless Warlock

Lookout fortress, business district, silver needle tavern.

　　 is in sharp contrast with the cold and quiet streets. When Xu Nan opened the door and walked into the tavern, and walked around the stone pillars to the lobby, not only the warm air wave but also the noisy shouts of the crowd came.

　　Only the boring bartender at the front desk cast a wait-and-see gaze.

　　 Xu Nan took off the cloak, shook the snow, ordered a glass of juice, and sat down at the bar casually.

　　 It was already midnight, but the wonderful nightlife in the tavern had obviously just begun.

　　 The air is filled with the smell of inferior perfume and the sour smell of burning coal.

　　 He couldn't help twisting his nose, forcing himself to accept the chaotic atmosphere.

　　 "Your juice, I'm sorry I can't find fresh one." The bartender shrugged.

　　 Xu Nan took the glass of juice, took a sip, and resisted frowning.

　　 The taste is really not good.

　　 But given the distressed material situation of the Watcher Fortress, I really can't ask for too much.

　　 But Xu Nan's desire to relax also fell through.

　　He came out to breathe.

　　 After flipping through five or six books that were thousands of pages thick, the sleepy Xu Nan chose to give up.

　　 Evelyn slept soundly. This was due to the mild hypnotic powder hidden in the water Xu Nan handed her.

　　 She needs a good sleep.

　　 And Xu Nan, who originally wanted to take advantage of this time to find relevant information about the Atsam family by herself, eventually almost didn't put herself asleep.

　　Considering that these books are only ancient books, once swallowed, there will be no second books, so he can only shake his head and run out to breathe.

　　 Evelyn's clues and the information he asked from Eliot's mouth are difficult to form a complete puzzle.

　　 And more news about Atsam, even the gossip system of Paradise Lost, did not involve too much specific information-this is normal, after all, Paradise Lost is not a panacea.

　　 In order to obtain more information before the celebration begins tomorrow afternoon, Xu Nan can only run out by himself, trying to investigate something from the local people.

　　 But now, sitting in the tavern and feeling the noisy atmosphere, Xu Nan can only smile wryly.

　　 He felt uncomfortable all over.

　　 At this moment, he can clearly feel the aura that permeates him that is incompatible with the entire tavern.

　　 "Well, I'm not a secret investigator at all."

　　 He gave a wry smile.

　　 There is no news from Qin Lele, which makes Xu Nan a little worried. His instinct told it that the Cold Sun Celebration and the Heart Eater Charm in Eliot's hands-these two things must have their inherent logical connection, but he didn't find it.

　　 "I have come here, I still have to try as many as possible."

　　 After drinking the juice in one breath, he cheered himself up.

　　 "What are you playing over there?" He threw a silver coin on the bar, pretending to ask casually.

　　The bartender took it with his hands and feet wisely, wiped it easily, and stuffed it into his pocket, but his expression became more cautious:

　　 "That's the arena of honeysuckle."

　　 "Everyone is for some fun. The rules of competition are very simple. Run along the track, from the start to the end, whoever is fast is the winner. The winner takes all."

　　 "You can buy your own honeysuckle to participate in the competition, but you can't feed it messy medicine. The boss of York doesn't allow that happen. There was a foreigner last month..."

　　 Under the bartender's narrative, Xu Nan roughly understood the rules.

　　 Honeysuckle is a very small rodent, generally only fingers long and **** wide. This thing is very cold-resistant and has very little flesh, but in famine years, many Kutlin people still go to underground caves to look for honeysuckle dens.

The reproductive ability of the honeysuckle rat is very strong, and the running speed is actually average, but since someone invented this game and put it into practice, the business of the silver needle tavern has more than doubled, and the orphans in the slums have increased by more than once. A brand new daily task: catch the honeysuckle rat.

　　 A strong honeysuckle can be sold at a high price in the Silver Needle Tavern. The stronger it is, the more popular it is. Even if the money paid is not proportional to the possible profit, some gamblers are willing to pay.

　　 Xu Nan leaned over and watched a game with the end of the taste.

　　 For him, who has experienced the baptism of various wonderful programs on the earth, it is not exciting at all.

　　 But for everyone who paid real money and went through a thrilling race at the gaming table, it was undoubtedly an audio-visual feast.

　　 in the whistle of the referee.

　　 A gray honeysuckle took the lead, knocking off the pennant at the end, and arousing anger from the crowd.

　　 The owner of that honeysuckle rat is holding a cage in one hand and a chip in the other, smiling from ear to ear. The gray honeysuckle got into the cage and was immediately stuffed with several rations.

　　 The people at the table walked away dejectedly.

　　 The next round is said to be fifteen minutes later.

The others were gone, and Xu Nan was standing there. Suddenly a few sharp-eyed people ran over to sell the honeysuckle in their hands. Before Xu Nan had a few words with them, suddenly, there was a sound outside the tavern. There was the sound of pushing the door, and then heavy footsteps.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 A few young people in blue clothes walked in.

　　 Their clothes were covered with snow, and they looked like they had walked in the snow for at least a few hours, and the whole person was frozen; but their expressions were very enjoyable.

　　 Most of the people in blue sit far away from the fireplace. They order some water and bread, but don't eat much.

　　 After these blue-clothed people walked in, Xu Nan could obviously feel that the atmosphere had become a little different.

　　 "Blue Dog!"

　　 Someone cursed in a low voice.

　　 The blue-clothed people turned a blind eye. After they finished their food, they asked the bartender for two shops, and hurriedly left the hall.

"Who are they?"

　　 Xu Nan was a little curious, and asked a spectator.

　　 The man was taken aback for a moment, and replied vaguely:

　　 "It's the person who teaches in blue clothes...I'm the grass? Why are you?"

　　 Xu Nan looked intently, and the other party had an expression like seeing a ghost, which made Xu Nan also surprised and inexplicably surprised, thinking that he had accidentally crossed back to Wildfire City!

　　 "Grey?" He was also surprised.

　　 Grey couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Why do you have you everywhere?"

　　 "What are you doing to the Watcher Fortress?"

　　 Xu Nan looked at Grey, and suddenly had a clever plan, pulling him to sit next to him:

　　 "Don't worry, let's talk slowly."

　　 Grey's face was wary: "What do you want to do?"

　　 Xu Nan said with relief:

　　 "Don't be afraid, I will pay."

　　 Grey felt relieved: "You didn't say it earlier."

　　 The two men crossed their arms and walked over to the side deck.

　　 Only the few guys who were selling honeysuckle carrying cages were left stunned.

　　……

　　 "You actually came here because of Geralt's hiring job? How long have you been away?"

On the 　　 deck, a cup of strong liquor and a cup of stronger coffee were placed in front of them.

　　 Xu Nan is holding hot coffee in her hands, which is a little funny to think about.

　　 I didn't expect to meet acquaintances in Wildfire City here.

　　 "Don't mention it." Gray said melancholy: "I haven't touched a woman for more than two weeks."

　　 Xu Nan laughed and said, "So, Geralt is here too? Did he go to his teacher?"

　　 Grey nodded: "That guy deceived Lao Tzu."

　　 "I thought he had been a pastor for so many years. At least he was a bit greasy. Who knew he was a pauper, and he almost couldn't afford the employment fee."

　　 Xu Nan gave a dry smile, completely disbelief of this statement.

　　In the super-spiritual vision, Grey's emotional changes revealed that he was lying.

　　 "In this way, you really have changed a bit." Xu Nan said with emotion: "I am very happy for you and have my own friends."

　　 Grey raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to refute, but soon, he shook his head and laughed at himself:

　　 "Friend? That's right. Geralt is really the dumbest idiot I've ever seen."

"Without being able to discern the authenticity of that letter, he insisted on venturing across the remaining veins of the First Mountain Range...I don't know how to say it anymore. Trust me, without me, he would have become Which beast has its dung."

　　 "Damn, the more you speak, that idiot has gone to his teacher now, and I have to investigate the background of those blue dogs for him!"

　　 Xu Nan's heart moved:

　　 "Blue dog?"

　　 "Are they those in blue?"

　　 Grey nodded: "It's the young people who wear blue clothes and have weird expressions. I don't know where they got so much blue dye..."

　　 Xu Nan nodded thoughtfully.

　　 Grey's investigative ability, he had learned a long time ago, and Geralt asked him to investigate these weird people in blue.

　　 "So, what about your survey results? Can you share it with me?"

　　 asked Xu Nan.

　　 Grey hesitated for a moment, and said readily:

　　 "You are not an outsider anyway."

　　 Right now, he lowered his voice and began to talk to Xu Nan about his investigation results, along with the encounters along the way.

　　……

　　 After Grey and his party entered the Watcher Fortress, they immediately went to look for Quellas's trail.

　　 According to Lansel's guidance, they found the inner city, but were told that outsiders could not enter during the preparation time for the celebration.

　　Even if Geralt reported Quellas' name, it was the same.

　　 Xu Nan guessed that it was probably because of Eliot's plan that the inner city increased the alert level.

　　 In desperation, they can only leave temporarily.

　　 Along the way, they met many people in blue, who seemed to be active in the city under the name of the Snow Goddess Church.

　　 Most residents don't like these people in blue.

　　 Perhaps thinking of those things in Tazar, Geralt suddenly asked Grey to investigate the origin of the man in blue.

　　 He and Black Cat were waiting for the teacher's reply at the hotel. After all, the gate guards did not allow them to enter, but the report should still be done.

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 Grey went directly to investigate the man in blue.

　　 As a high-level mercenary who has been wandering the world for a long time, Grey's investigative methods are naturally beyond doubt.

　　 Before meeting Xu Nan, he just completed the preliminary investigation.

　　 These people in blue are all people with ice wind collar, that is, Kutlin people.

　　 They preached the name of the goddess of ice and snow, and their methods and behaviors were very radical. They didn't even pay attention to the moderate followers, and often made some very exaggerated things.

　　 They are called "Blue Clothes Teaching". Because they unanimously chose blue clothes as their uniform uniform.

　　 This is quite similar to the blue and white uniform of the Snow Goddess Church, but it is not the same.

　　The leader of Lanyijiao is a woman named Lingque, who lives in Snowy Plain City. It is also the birthplace of the Blue Clothes Sect.

　　 It is said that the control of Lanyi Sect in Xueyuan City is already terrible, and even the lord there is also a believer of Lanyi Sect.

　　The doctrine of the Lanyi Church believes that with the advent of winter, the ice and snow goddess is about to enter the era of dominating everything, and the violent, cruel and ferocious sleeping in her body will soon be awakened. Only by effectively imitating these qualities can she win the favor of the goddess.

　　 They twisted the teachings of the Ice Goddess Church to a certain extent, but they always believed that they believed in the true goddess.

　　 Hearing this, Xu Nan couldn't help but think of a word: heresy.

　　 I didn't expect that within the Ice Goddess Church, there would be a fanatical faction like the Blue Clothes Sect. What was more unexpected was that these members were all Kutlin people who resisted the invasion of the goddess doctrine for generations!

　　 It seems that because the distance is relatively far away, someone has done enough work on intelligence, so that up to now, the headquarters of the Ice Goddess Church has not noticed the problem.

　　 In fact, according to Grey's investigation, the entire area north of the Snow Mountain Pass is already the world of Lanyi Sect.

　　 Even if it is the ice wind collar that has always resisted the goddess, there are large-scale young people who have joined the blue-clothed education and performed some irrational behaviors. It's just that the Ice Wind Neck is on the verge of demon territory, and may be in danger of being attacked at any time, so it maintains a semi-war state all year round, and the blue-clothed cultists have not been able to make too many waves under the control of the army.

　　The recent actions of the Blue Clothes Sect are very frequent. They occupied the temple of Tazar, which was originally a moderate group. It is said that they found the first miracle of the goddess there, and they wanted to restore the miracle.

　　……

　　 "Unexpectedly, Quellas was Geralt's teacher."

　　 "According to Evelyn's description, Quellas is also a quasi-legendary magician, and Geralt... is just a crappy priest."

　　 "The gap between the master and the disciple is too big, right?"

　　 Xu Nan was a little puzzled: "Could it be that Quellas didn't teach Geralt the true skills?"

　　 Grey shrugged.

　　 According to Grey, Quellas is a moderate member of the church and should be very resistant to the blue-clothed religion.

　　 Such a powerful magician, could it be so that the dangerous force of the Lanyijiao was allowed to spread in the ice wind collar?

　　 Xu Nan has more doubts in his heart~www.readwn.com~ Where is Geralt? He asked casually.

　　 "We have made an appointment to meet at the Muffin Inn." Grey stretched out.

　　 "He doesn't know if he has seen his teacher. Anyway, I have finished my work."

　　 "It's time to go back to sleep."

　　 Before he finished speaking, Xu Nan was held back by him:

"and many more."

　　 "You have to do me a favor."

　　 Ge Leikun yawned, "Give me the money first."

　　 Wow!

　　 A lot of gold nuggets appeared out of thin air.

　　 Grey's eyes were almost dazzled by golden light.

　　 "What to live!"

he asks.

　　 "I want you to find out if there have been rogues who have sneaked into this fortress recently. Their goal may be the characters at the celebration tomorrow."

　　 "The celebration starts in the afternoon. You still have time. Just tell me before the celebration starts."

　　 Xu Nan express.

　　 If he wants to grasp the movements of the possible people in the shadow world, he has to ask experts to come.

　　 He thought about it carefully, besides being handsome, he was really not good in other aspects.

　　 Ge Lei swallowed and said with red eyes:

　　 "Deal!"

　　 "What else?"

　　 Seeing Xu Nan not appearing to leave, Grey asked strangely.

　　 "Well, where is the Muffin Inn?"

　　 Xu Nan asked a little embarrassed:

　　 "I am a newcomer too, if I have time, I would like to see Geralt."
