Lord Highlander

Aphrodite took Suldak to several trading houses in Hailansa City, and finally took out from the warehouse thirty sets of magicweave structures sent by the merchant Malakom. It's the end of this trip.

The two had dinner at the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant. Before leaving, they saw Karl, Lance, Viscount Emmett, and a few nobles whom Suldak didn't know get off the carriage at the entrance of the restaurant. People walked and chatted, and it could be seen that the atmosphere was very lively.

Karl has now become the Grand Commander of the Knights of the Guard Battalion, and Viscount Emmet has long since retreated to the second line.

The magician of Lance has now become the most competitive successor of the Law Enforcement Corps of the Hailansa Magic Union, and he will take over this position only after Captain Gerald retires next year.

This group of people are almost all very famous nobles in Hailansa city.

The waiter in the restaurant didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately ran out to greet him with pouted buttocks, not even daring to raise his head when saluting.

The location chosen by Suldak and Aphrodite happened to be in the corner of the hall. Whether it was outside or in the hall, it was almost impossible to see this place through many obstacles.

So the two of them were not in a hurry to leave. Aphrodite slowly cut the medium-rare steak into neat cubes, and spread black pepper sauce on it. Even the cauliflower, which served as a garnish on the plate, was perfectly divided. , and then put it on each meat cube, and then pushed the dinner plate to Suldak.

"Are you really going to open the merit exchange list to those indigenous fighters?" Aphrodite asked.

At present, the merit redemption list of the West Route Army is not only open to the entire West Route Army, but also to those adventure groups outside.

Although this matter has not been fully clarified, brokers can find soldiers in the barracks to make deals, and Suldak is completely turning a blind eye, which means his laissez-faire attitude.

"Of course! I'm not just talking."

After finishing speaking, Suldak stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth.

"I need to let the natives of the Aegrod clan understand the outside world as soon as possible, and adapt to the way of life of the Green Empire as much as possible, so that they will try to avoid being exploited by merchants for a period of time in the future. This kind of integration will make their Life changes, so there's bound to be some resistance from old-fashioned tribesmen."

Seeing that Aphrodite didn't understand, he continued to explain:

"They need to understand the prices on the empire's side. Everyone needs to establish a price list in their hearts, and understand the pros and cons of high and low..."

Aphrodite rolled her golden eyes. (Her pupils were originally purple)

This is the innate ability 'camouflage' possessed by the succubus. She asked Suldak:

"There are so many indigenous fighters in the Beishankou camp, have you ever thought about... Once they all need the items on the merit exchange list, what kind of huge exchange power will it be, and how many rewards do you need to prepare to meet their needs? ?”

"I hope they will demand more, and I will lose money with these rewards..." Suldak said indifferently.

"Okay, you can decide!" Aphrodite said.

The two also ordered a bottle of white wine.

This is the wine with the best taste in the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant. It has a sour aftertaste with a hint of bitterness and sweetness. It will taste better after being chilled, at least Suldak thinks so.

Suldak only drank half a glass, and Aphrodite liked the feeling of being slightly drunk after a meal, so she blushed slightly after drinking it.

Even the waiter on the side was attracted by her beauty, and couldn't help but peek at Aphrodite's profile frequently.

In Hailansa city at this time, the red sun just happened to be hidden in the mountains.

Once the sun goes down, it gets dark quickly here, and the dusk here is shorter than in other places.

The number of pedestrians on the street is decreasing, but the carriages are still coming in an endless stream. It can be seen that the city of Hailansa is much more prosperous than before.

There were even people waiting in line at the entrance of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant built a canopy outside as a waiting area, and the long row of chairs inside was almost full of people.

The magic caravan that Karl was riding in was parked on the street outside, and there were two guard battalion knights standing by, as if they were chatting with the coachman.

Aphrodite, who was lowering her head and carefully cutting the steak with the knife, looked out of the window with some doubts at this time, and the eyes that attracted Suldak also fell outside. Just when he was a little confused about what happened outside, suddenly There was a faint wave of magic.

That aura carried some unknown danger, and it was also a very fierce black magic aura.

Suldak turned his head to look at Aphrodite, and she asked, "You also found out?"

Suldak nodded, and then asked Aphrodite, "Is it black magic?"

Aphrodite didn't answer, her eyes fell on a roof across the street. When Suldak looked over, he just saw a magician in black robe flying out of the roof riding a magic broom.

In the Green Empire, the city is a recognized no-fly zone. Unless it is the law enforcement team of the Magic Union, all magicians are not allowed to fly around on a magic broom within the city limits.

The magician across the street exuded the breath of black magic, and it was obvious that he was a black magician.

To be honest, the black mage has disappeared from Hailansa City for at least five years, and many people have even forgotten what they did.

His face was hidden in the shadow of the conical hat, and he was flying so fast in the air that people couldn't see his face clearly.

But almost when Suldak's eyes fell on him, he controlled the magic broom and hovered in the mid-air outside the Three Bears restaurant. Through the window, he could see him chanting the magic spell, and a scar appeared on his chest. A clear hexagram-shaped magic circle, and a black shadow arrow appeared in the center of the circle.

Aphrodite was still wary at first, but seeing that the black mage's target was not them, she dispersed the condensed mana.

On the other hand, Suldak sat aside and said in a low voice: "No, their target is Karl!"

As he said that, he was about to rush out from the dining table, drew out the sword of Kuerwen from his waist, and chopped off the black magic who suddenly broke into his field of vision.

But Aphrodite put her hand on her shoulder and said, "I'll take care of this..."

As he spoke, he took out a mithril mask and put it on his face, then stretched out his slender fingers, and tapped lightly in front of the glass window facing the street of the Three Bears restaurant. With the sound of glass cracking, Aphrodite stepped forward The restaurant came outside.

And Suldak also knew what Aphrodite meant, and it was really inconvenient for him to show up at this time.

So taking advantage of the broken window, Suldak decisively left a few silver coins on the dining table, then slipped into the street and crowded with the passers-by at the corner of the street.

His movements were super fast, and everyone's eyes were almost on Aphrodite who came out of the broken window, and no one noticed that he quietly blended into the crowd.

The Shadow Arrow has been shot, penetrated the glass window on the second floor of the restaurant, and exploded in a room on the second floor...

Then a magician with a golden light shield on his body could be seen that he was affected by the explosion just now, his handsome face was scratched with a scar, and the magic robe on his body was also a little damaged, probably because he couldn't open it in time The magic shield was affected by the shadow arrow just now.

The magician who looked out the window with a magic shield was Lance.

This guy casually tore up a third-level magic scroll 'Magic Shield', which seemed quite generous.

Suldak grumbled in his heart.

Karl didn't show his figure in the dining room, but Suldak did notice that he and Viscount Emmett were leaving from the stairs on the second floor.

At this time, Aphrodite did not give that black magic a second chance to release black magic, she did not release her best 'charm' and 'hypnosis', nor did she use the summoning circle to summon her servant 'evil' Eye', just took advantage of the moment the black mage finished singing, and tore open a magic scroll.

A ball of flame flew out of Aphrodite's palm, the fireball barely left any trace in the air, it just exploded on the black mage's face at a flash speed.

The flame instantly engulfed the entire face of the black mage...

After the black mage screamed, his hands covered his face almost at the same time, but he forgot that he was riding a magic broom suspended in the air. Without the continuous input of his own mana, the magic broom fell instantly.

The black magician fell straight from the sky like this, accompanied by a series of miserable cries, which instantly dissipated all the assassination looks on him.

Perhaps the fall was too hard. The magician lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up. The guard knights guarding the magic caravan had rushed into the Three Bears Barbecue Restaurant at this time, and the guard knights who followed behind Seeing that the black mage who assassinated Grand Leader Karl actually fell from the sky, he immediately surrounded him and placed the knight's long sword on the black mage's neck, preventing him from speaking at all. The black mage stomped on his stomach.

Just as the black mage was about to recite the incantation, he was interrupted by the knights of the guard battalion. He could only curl up on the ground, hug his head and howl.

Aphrodite looked at the other roof. Without saying a word, she took out a magic broom and flew towards that roof after riding it.

A black magician immediately emerged from the roof, riding a magic broom and flying towards the outside of the city without looking back.

Aphrodite didn't go after the black mage either, but wandered around here on a magic broom.

...

Suldak didn't really believe in a well-planned assassination operation, and the black magic hermit who hid in the dark only sent one or two ordinary black magicians.

At this time, he looked into the restaurant of the Three Bears Grill, and saw the embarrassed Karl, surrounded by a group of guard knights, rushing out from the stairs on the first floor, but they did not choose to run out from the main entrance of the restaurant, but Turn around and walk through the cold storage corridor where the restaurant stores fresh meat, and quickly sneak out from the back of the restaurant.

Seeing this situation, Suldak only had time to curse "idiot" in his heart.

At this time, it is far safer to run out from the alley behind than to run out from the main entrance.

Karl's magic caravan was waiting on the street in front of the Three Bears Restaurant, and a group of knights from the guard battalion had rushed to Karl's side. As long as they boarded the magic caravan, these black magicians might give up the assassination.

But Karl chose to run from the back. Even if there were a few more guard battalion knights around him, there might have been black magicians waiting in the alley behind.

Suldak sighed, and could only turn around and run along the narrow alley next to the Three Bears Restaurant towards the back street.

When he was running towards Houjie, he saw two black mages flying out of the alley. The two black mages were surprised when they saw Suldak standing in front of them. The front of Erdak was separated from the left to the right.

Suldak had no way to intercept the two mages at the same time, so he could only select the black mage who was flying around to the left, rush to his flight path ahead of time and wait.

The black magician who surrounded the past from the left never expected that a simple assassination mission would encounter strong human beings one after another.

When he flew to the T-junction of the alleyway, he took the opportunity to glance back when he turned the corner, and found that Suldak hadn't caught up from behind, he was immediately relieved...

But when he felt a fierce murderous aura in front of him and turned his head hastily, he found that nobleman holding a long sword was standing in front of him.

Suldak hardly gave the magician any chance to react. Anyway, he saw the black magician flying over secretly, and jumped towards the black magician.

Regarding the culling of a Rank 2 powerhouse, the black mage almost didn't have time to make any moves, and he was decapitated all at once.

The magic broom below him also fell along with the body of the black mage, and a cloud of magic flames exploded.

Suldak looked left and right and no one was chasing him, and immediately rushed to the alley and slipped out.

Aphrodite once again dealt with the two black mages who had mixed into the crowd, and then the dim light quietly left.

Suldak also hid in the crowd and left the convenient garden square in Hailansa City.

It didn't take long for Karl, who was in a panic, to board the magic caravan under the escort of a group of knights from the guard battalion.

Then Suldak, who joined Aphrodite, jokingly said, "This assassination... Karl may be the most embarrassing head of the guard battalion in the history of Hailansa City..."

After the two met on Dorenval Street, Aphrodite took Suldak back to the house she rented.

"Why do you say someone assassinated Karl?" Aphrodite turned to ask Suldak.

"Probably someone wants to take this opportunity to weaken the power around Mrs. Mariana, and then drive her away from the position of consul little by little." When Suldak said this, his face turned cold little by little.

"So Karl became the first target..."

Aphrodite added on the side.

At this time, Suldak's face became even uglier. It seemed that after he had left Hailansa City for more than half a year, someone was eyeing the big cake on the plate again...

I went out to play, and it takes four days. If possible, I will update it according to the situation, and I don’t know if I can find an Internet cafe...
