Shameless Warlock

There was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and the light of the knife pierced the young man's eyes through the reflection of the snowdrift. The sharp blade easily pierced his unprotected throat, and blood flowed quietly.

Gray's tall figure was still sitting on the horse, holding the young man's head in his hand.

With a sudden sound, the spear in the young man's hand hit the ground with a dull sound.

The gate of the city suddenly became chaotic and tense, and the guards rushed out to surround Xu Nan and Gray inside.

They pointed their guns at the two outsiders angrily and nervously.

However, Gray made a full gesture, and he looked down at the guards proudly:

"No one can be disrespectful to the nobles of the kingdom."

"What's more, this person pointed his weapon at the city lord of Wildfire City, your... city lord!"

His voice suddenly became high-pitched:

"Isn't Wildfire City the territory of the Eastern Kingdom?"

"Could it be that the Iceman has forgotten the oath he once made?"

"Or, someone has ulterior motives, trying to prevent the new city lord from entering the city?!"

"Do you want war?"

This guy is obviously a big fool. This kind of mercenary who travels north and south has seen too many big scenes, and instantly grasped the hesitation and nervousness in the eyes of the guards, making things a little out of hand.

Xu Nan knew that only by doing this, Gray could ensure the safety of himself and him as much as possible!

Wildfire City is very chaotic, but nominally, it is still the territory of the Eastern Kingdom!

The behavior of the young man just now did constitute provocation and threat. As the bodyguard of the city lord, he has the right to deal with it!

The people of the ice field near the city gate were very angry.

This nation known for its blue eyes and brown beards was originally very xenophobic, and the sudden death of a young man instantly aroused public outrage!

Many people surrounded and tried to attack Xu Nan, but they were stopped by the guards.

Guards are also difficult to deal with.

They are also ice natives, but they have to consider far more than ordinary civilians.

The news about the owner of Wildfire City has been circulating on the ice field for several months.

This time, it is different from the city lord who was forcibly appointed by the Eastern Kingdom. It is said that the new city lord has a token!

The major families, gangs, and forces in Wildfire City have all sworn allegiance to that token.

The Iceborne are jerks, but they take oaths very seriously.

I heard that the largest family in the city, the Sebalon family, has been wandering in and out of scouts recently, which is enough to make the conflict in the guard's heart even more entangled.

They could not and did not dare to attack Xu Nan.

They are really the nobles of the quicksand land, killing them would be very troublesome, and there might not be a war, but the few of them would definitely become scapegoats.

The guards looked at each other, at a loss, and just surrounded Xu Nan and Gray.

Gray cursed arrogantly, while Xu Nan pretended to disdain to talk nonsense with ordinary people, and his acting skills could only be supported by his light eyes.

"Country people know little after all."

Seeing the bewildered look of the guards, Xu Nan felt a little distressed.

The situation at the gate of the city became more and more tense. When many civilians couldn't hold back and threatened to punish the murderer, someone suddenly shouted:

"Master Barnes has arrived."

All of a sudden, everyone gave way in unison.

"Get out of the way, don't block the young master's carriage!"

"Master Barnes must have taught these two strangers a lesson."

"That's not necessarily true, if this person really has a token..."

There was a lot of discussion.

Xu Nan's heart moved slightly.

A carriage came galloping and stopped inside the city gate, and a tall young man got out of the carriage.

Unlike other Icemen, he doesn't have a beard, so he looks very young.

He has a square face and a gentle expression, giving people a feeling of spring breeze. It can be seen that this Barnes has a high prestige in Wildfire City!

"This is Barnes Sebalon..."

"The eldest son of the largest family in Wildfire City! The Sebalon family controls the formula of Sairon wine, and is the local emperor of Wildfire City."

"I heard that this person is very popular in Wildfire City. The reason is that he often helps the poor and is approachable. When you come into contact with him later, you'd better be careful not to show your feet."

Gray warned in a low voice.

Barnes strode over with a gentle smile:

"I'm late."

"I've heard for a long time that the second lady of Quicksand Land has already left for the ice field, but I didn't expect to arrive so early."

"You are as beautiful as in the picture."

He waved his hand to let the guards disperse with an extremely respectful attitude.

"On behalf of the Sebalon family and all the residents of Wildfire City, I welcome Miss Su's arrival."

He bent and bowed, all in the manners of the eastern kingdoms, without the barbarism of the icelanders.

Xu Nan was silent for a moment, pretending to be arrogant, and then jumped off the horse rudely.

He didn't look at Barnes at all, but walked towards the city gate on his own.

"It's Mr. Su!"

he corrected.

The whole movement was done in one go, perfectly conforming to the characteristics of the sex cognition disorder of the second lady of Quicksand in the data.

Barnes froze for a moment, seemed to remember something, suddenly smiled, and walked inside with Xu Nan.

"I have prepared a banquet, please be sure to honor it."

"By the way, your servants?"

Xu Nan showed an angry expression: "They are all dead, a bunch of trash."

"We encountered a total of five attacks in the Sumanda Wilderness and the southern part of the Ghost Mother Forest."

Gray said with a gloomy expression: "I suspect that the attack has something to do with the people in Wildfire City. I hope Mr. Barnes can help find out."

"check!"

Barnes said righteously: "Be sure to find out! In the territory of Wildfire City, someone dared to attack the distinguished guests of my Ceballon family. I don't know what it means!" It is the territory of Cebalon, not the owner of the city.

"Mr. Su, don't worry, I will definitely find the person who tried to assassinate you!"

Barnes only called Mr. Su, and didn't mention the city lord's affairs, as if swearing.

It's too pompous.

Xu Nan sighed inwardly. This Barnes is estimated to be considered the top talent in Wildfire City.

The acting skills are not bad, but the force is too much, not as good as Gray, a high-level mercenary.

"Then please."

Xu Nan said coldly, "I'm hungry."

"Please follow me!"

Barnes led the way quite like a gentleman, and there were naturally servants of the Ceballon family beside him to appease the commoners.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside.

When they arrived at the banquet location, Gray found an excuse to slip away, saying that he was going to take care of the horses, but he was actually looking for clues to the token.

Xu Nan was not worried that he would really run away, after all, he had just arrived in Wildfire City, if something happened immediately, it would be a ghost if he could get his reward.

...

The food at the banquet was plentiful.

It's just that the atmosphere is a bit awkward.

Hearing that the "new city lord" had arrived, apart from the Sebalon family, the other influential family representatives and gang leaders in Wildfire City had arrived.

They had heard a little about the deeds of that "Mr. Su", and they all felt a little tricky.

First of all, this time is different from the past.

The city lords appointed by the kingdom in the past were basically unlucky bastards with no background, and they died as soon as they died, and no one avenged them.

As the favorite jewel of the lord of the Quicksand Land, if it wasn't because of his uniqueness, Su would have been favored by all. Even so, the Lord of the Quicksand Land would not completely ignore Su's life or death.

Quicksand is a fiefdom with real power and has its own army. It is the connection between the Eastern Kingdom and the Great Ice Field. Once the lord of Quicksand is really angry, it is not impossible to send troops to attack Wildfire City.

Second, there is the issue of tokens.

Even the guards and civilians knew the news, how could they not know?

In the past few months, there have been rumors in Wildfire City that someone has obtained the token and will soon be the city lord of Wildfire City. They have been secretly investigating, including the Sebalon family.

When they found out that the token fell into the hands of the people in Quicksand, they felt as uncomfortable as eating flies; and when the news of Su's departure came, the high-level officials of Wildfire City were even more upset.

Icefield people value promises and oaths the most, so they discussed for a long time, and finally agreed with each other: If the other party really has a token, why not let her be the lord of Wildfire City?

However, this is only a superficial statement. Does the ghost know if there are any individuals from the Ice Plains who have violated their national nature and acted secretly?

Su's assassination explained everything. Not to mention that Gray suspected that the enemy came from inside Wildfire City, even the forces inside Wildfire City were suspicious of each other!

So there were two extremes at the banquet.

On the one hand, it was Barnes who ate, drank and chatted with Xu Nan, and more often, it was Barnes who introduced the customs of the ice field.

On the other hand, it is the respective temptations of other bigwigs.

Xu Nan is cold on the surface, but in fact he has a panoramic view of everything.

"It seems that everyone may be the assassin, and the Cybalon family is the most suspected."

"This is really a grand banquet. Fortunately, the teacher gave me a scroll, and I can summon his projection protection at any time."

Xu Nan was thinking about it, when suddenly, a servant brought up a jug of extremely fragrant wine.

Barnes smiled and said:

"This is the most famous Seron wine in Wildfire City! In the south, it's hard to get a thousand dollars, but here we can drink it as much as you want!"

"Come, come, Mr. Su, please try it."

Xu Nan nodded.

Theron wine is one of the few favorite alcoholic beverages for spellcasters, because it can concentrate the concentration. When researching, it can greatly improve the level of concentration, and it is also helpful for the improvement of intelligence.

In the south of the Eastern Kingdom, there is indeed a market that is priceless.

He took the wine glass, sipped it rather rudely, and just wanted to comment

[You have taken Theron wine, your concentration has improved]

[You have taken the Emerald Spirit, the gluttonous true color will automatically activate, and the Emerald Spirit has been decomposed and absorbed]

Xu Nan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The emerald spirit is the poison that rogues love the most!

It's a pity that Xu Nan has the true nature of gluttony. Except for the highly poisonous or cursed poison, he is basically invulnerable to all poisons!

These people actually wanted to poison themselves at the banquet? It's too funny, right?

Damn, it's too bullying, Xu Nan is ready to flip the table at any time, which is the projection of summoning Romang!

"Good wine!"

he suddenly said loudly.

"Drink together! Everyone must do it with me!"

"After drinking this cup, there are three more cups!"

He raised his glass and said to Barnes and the others.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

...
