The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 217 Blood Wizard's Dilemma

The feeling of being stared at by the blood wizard is terrible, at least the black robe wizard deeply feels the terrible feeling of piercing the soul with his sight.

"Are you willing?" The black-robed wizard, suppressing his discomfort, unbuttoned the hood on his head, revealing a thin, gloomy face and a pair of weird compound eyes of insects on his face, "You must know that you also secretly We have invested a lot, but the old guy who vowed to be successful has not sent back any news. Now that a person has walked out of No. Secrets, even great treasures, are you really willing to watch opportunities go in vain?"

The blood wizard said coldly: "If, according to what you think, we team up with you and successfully extract all the secrets of No. 9 Golden Oak Street from him, then what?"

"Then..." The black-robed wizard was about to say something inspiring, but his words were blocked when he reached his mouth, and he didn't say it. The expression on his face was as embarrassing as if he had eaten something dirty.

The blood wizard said in a deep voice: "In the wizarding hall, your worm wizard Sanjes Bennett has a much greater reputation than me, and you joined the wizarding hall earlier than me, and your strength is about the same as mine. But I joined the assembly hall late, but I was able to become the administrator of the wizard assembly in Velen Continent, while you are only a member, do you know why?"

The tone of this lesson made the worm wizard Sanjis very uncomfortable, but he did not refute, but just put the hood back on.

Although the Worm Wizard has shown with his actions that he has realized his mistake, Lawrence Hillman does not intend to let him go just like this, because some reckless behavior of the Worm Wizard has brought him a lot of trouble recently. Trouble, even their current situation is so bad because of some behaviors of the worm wizard, so it is inevitable that the worm wizard will do something wrong again. This time, he must speak out clearly to make the other party completely submissive.

So, the blood wizard still used that slightly mocking indifferent tone, and said: "If you don't want to say it, then let me tell it! We got the secret of No. 9 Golden Oak Street, but this secret has nothing to do with us." No, because there is no Nine Golden Oak Street anymore, so in the end we offended a powerful high-ranking wizard with a bullshit secret that didn't do any good. Ah, yes! I forgot, this wizard may also become our Assistant to help us fight the current crisis."

A deep voice came from under the hood, saying, "I'm just impulsive!"

"Impulse? This is really a good excuse. If my memory is not wrong, you also said that you were impulsive last time, right?" The blood wizard said step by step, "I asked you to bring the six hands alive. Come back, but what about you? You fed his soul to your little guy, and didn't even take care of the aftermath, just threw the body into the lake casually, and what's even more absurd is that you didn't even deal with the witnesses around you, Now almost everyone thinks that the Ring of Plague has fallen into our hands, and it has become everyone's target for no reason. My original plan has all failed, and now I can only barely protect myself. How dare you come this time? A spur of the moment, don't you think we can't die fast enough, Mr Sanchez."

Being so taunted by his companions, Sanjays Bennett, a worm wizard who has always been known for his violent and impulsive personality, never refuted or got angry. He just lowered his head, and the hood covered his face. What is your mood.

Lawrence Hillman also knew very well that some things were too much, especially too late, so he didn't continue talking, but eased the atmosphere in the tent a little, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "You went to investigate before Did things work out?"

The worm wizard replied simply: "Now all the underground churches in Miria City are participating."

Lawrence nodded and said: "This result did not exceed my expectations. For others, the ring of plague is an evil thing, but for those underground churches eager to preach and expand their influence, the ring of plague is simply a missionary god." Spread the plague among ordinary people and make people sick, and then their missionaries will stand up and relieve the pain of those sick people, so that even if all the people who receive the treatment cannot become orthodox believers, they can also become general members of their church Believers, this dirty trick has not changed since ancient times."

"What should we do now?" Worm Wizard asked in a deep voice.

Lawrence sighed slightly and said, "There is no other way but to find out the ring of plague as soon as possible, then throw it out, and let those guys grab it by themselves. We can take advantage of this mess to find our own things."

The worm wizard had some disagreements, and said, "Why don't we leave now and wait for things to calm down."

"Leaving now will only make things worse, and the suspicion on us can no longer be cleared." Lawrence Hillman shook his head and said: "And you are so willing to leave, you know that we are now more than ever You have to get close to the secret of the tower, if you give up, it will not be clear when the next opportunity will appear."

"But..." The worm wizard hesitated for a moment.

"Your character is not like this kind of person who is easy to withdraw, and there are such important things in it." The blood wizard looked at his companion with a little doubt, and asked: "When you inquired about the news, did you find out the truth? Any additional news?"

The worm wizard responded truthfully: "The Holy Inquisitor of the Orthodox Church has appeared in Port Leon, and he should arrive in Miria City in two days."

"Holy Inquisitor? This is a big trouble." Hearing this news, Lawrence Hillman didn't show a worried look, but laughed, and said, "It's just that compared to us, the troubles of those underground churches Bigger, as long as we plan well, we should have the opportunity to use the power of the Holy Inquisitor to resolve this crisis."

As he spoke, he pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and used a secret technique to directly convey his thoughts to the worm wizard. From the outsider's point of view, he seemed to be just moving his mouth without making a sound at all, while the worm wizard seemed to be listening. Seeing something, he nodded in agreement without listening.

Just when the two core members of the Wizards' Guild were discussing how to overcome the immediate crisis, Leo had already walked out of the refugee camp and walked towards the fish market, which was completely controlled by the black market. While walking, he was also thinking The content of the conversation with Lawrence just now.

Although Leo didn't know why Lawrence cooperated with him to find the ring of plague, Leo was very clear that it was definitely not for the purpose of studying the ring of plague, and it must be for other reasons. his real reason.

The reason why Leo agreed to cooperate with the two so quickly was because he sensed that there was a mysterious wizard hidden in the tent whose strength was much worse than that of the bloodless wizard.

This mysterious wizard has a strong ability to hide. If it wasn't for Lawrence Hillman's sudden disinterest in the matter of No. 9 Golden Oak Street just now, the mysterious wizard's mood fluctuated, revealing a trace of abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations. If it is, maybe Leo can't find this hidden powerhouse yet.

Although only a hint of spiritual energy fluctuations with emotions were revealed, and the time was very short, Leo could feel the strong greed and malice in the other party's emotions.

If it was just the blood wizard alone, even if things fell apart, Leo would not be worried at all. He was very confident that his current psychic power and the various means he had mastered were enough to deal with a powerful wizard like the blood wizard.

But if there was a mysterious strongman who was not weaker than the blood wizard and had unknown methods lurking beside him, then things would become very difficult, so he made the best choice at that time and left the blood wizard's tent as soon as possible.

After leaving, Leo kept opening his mental net, concentrated his five senses, and carefully checked all the movements around him. As long as the mysterious wizard appeared, he would definitely find him. But the result was somewhat unexpected. The other party obviously showed extremely strong greed and desire for No. 9 Golden Oak Street emotionally, but he was able to control this emotion, did not track it down, waited for the opportunity to make a move, and asked him to specialize for this name. Some of the methods prepared by the mysterious wizard all failed.

Leo still doesn't know what the real relationship between the mysterious wizard and the blood wizard is, but from the behavior of the blood wizard allowing the mysterious wizard to hide in the tent, it can be guessed that the relationship between the two must be unusual.

Although there is a coveted hostile wizard hiding aside, Leo has no intention to stop cooperating with Lawrence Hillman. The cooperation decision he made just now is not perfunctory, he really wants to cooperate with Lawrence , and borrow Lawrence's power to find the ring of plague.

However, it is more important to obtain Lawrence's research data on various blood types from Lawrence, which is much more important to him than the Plague Ring.

So far, Leo doesn't know what the unknown bloodline awakened in his body is. He can only feel that the power contained in the bloodline will grow slowly over time even if he ignores it.

Although these bloodline powers will not have any impact on his combat behavior such as casting spells, nor will it cause any damage to his body, but will make his body stronger as his strength grows, but another wave of uncontrollable The power of love is conceived in the body, which always makes Leo, who is used to holding everything in his hands, feel very uncomfortable, and it has even become a big and small heart disease for him.

In the Vinylon world, Lawrence Hillman is the person who has the deepest research on all kinds of blood, and he is not one of them. When he researched blood, he must have involved all kinds of blood. With Rupert's financial resources, he obtained The blood of those mysterious creatures that have disappeared is not impossible, so in his research report, it must have involved a lot of research on advanced blood.

Although, Leo may not be able to find out the content related to the unknown blood in his body from these materials, but he can find some information that can help him control and understand the power of blood from other research involving advanced blood. method, this is the real purpose of his request for those research reports. Also because of this purpose, the cooperative relationship between him and the blood wizard will be very stable before the information is obtained.

Although Lawrence Hillman's attitude showed that he would try his best to help find the ring of plague, Leo didn't intend to put all his hopes on one person, so he decided to find Sylvia first. Yacheng's subordinates, get some funds from him, and then go to the black market to buy some useful materials.

Because there were no trams or carriages, and many roads were occupied by refugee tents and simple houses, it took Leo twice as long as before to arrive outside the fish market.

In the flames of war, almost all the beautiful buildings in Miria City were completely destroyed, and the residential areas of the middle class in the city were also affected, and most of them were in ruins. Most of the civilian towns on the fringes of other cities survived the war, and all the buildings remained intact. Those who still remember the glory of Miria City couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.

Because this place has been completely controlled by the black market, this once the darkest and dirtiest area in Miria City has become the safest and most stable area in Miria City. Many homeless refugees Gathering around the fish market and settling down, this also makes the fish market a lot more lively, even in the middle of the night, it is full of people.

The person Leo is looking for lives in the Yushi District. He is a small and powerful Yushi District dock manager. After the black market took control of the Yushi District, he was retained as a manager of the pier, and he was responsible for the smuggled goods in the black market. transportation. Also because of this authority, he helps some forces in the city to transport some items through the smuggling routes of the black market from time to time.

The place where Sylvia's subordinates live is easy to find. After entering the fish market, Leo found his residence in only five minutes, but Leo's luck seems to be unlucky, because Sylvia Something happened to the men.

Outside this common double-storey wooden house, many spectators have gathered at this moment. Although people die every day in Miria City, and everyone is used to death, a senior executive of the black market was arrested The brutal killing was in his own home, and it was still in an urban area controlled by the black market. This made many people who thought that Yushi District was safer than other urban areas began to feel uneasy and panic.

Leo did not enter the house, but checked the situation inside through the spiritual network outside, and soon he found that the murder of Sylvia's subordinates was exactly the same as that of Emily's family.

The victim and his family were skinned, their eyes and tongue were gouged out, their cervical vertebrae were dug out, and the corpse was put in a confession costume. Clearly by the same person, not a copycat.

"Is it because of the investigation of Emily's family?" Leo immediately had a guess in his mind, and he withdrew from the watching crowd and walked into an alley.
