Chapter 198
"I need time to think about it."
After hesitating for a while, the black hair wizard did not give an answer but made a compromise decision.
"Yes, I will give you one night." Van Sterno did not object, and gently shook the small copper bell on the table: "Please rest here tonight, I I have asked them to prepare dinner for you."
"You are so kind." Loren thanked him "sincerely".
The door was pushed open, and a walking stick with a dinner plate walked in. After putting it down respectfully, he followed Van Sterno and left the room.
"I hope you have a good time here tonight, His Excellency Ain Rand." Van Sternopi smiled slightly nodded outside the door: "In addition, I need your answer tomorrow morning. "
"Of course." Loren smiled as expected. It wasn't until the door was closed again that the other party's footsteps drifted away, and the smile on his face gradually turned cold, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
Although the sound is very soft, the faint footsteps from the floor can still be heard. There should be a lot of people in ambush around this room, but they are all at a distance from themselves, and there is no guy who is behind the wall who is listening in on their words.
Because it is a wizard, I am worried about what precautions I will have; or do I just feel that I have grasped myself, and I am not worried that I will oppose it at all?
With a sneer and shook his head, the black hair wizard walked to the side and pushed open the window of the room, only to find that there was nothing left outside. Loren looked subconsciously, but found that a certain teenager was already sitting in his seat, picked up a knife and fork, and started to eat.
"Well...Although the place is tattered, but didn't expect the food is pretty good, there are wine and ribs."
Don't forget that Asriel wrapped the napkin, shook the wine glass in his hand with enjoyment, and let the purple red wine sway in the glass: "I don't remember when the last time I drank wine, it's really nostalgic. "
The last time I drank wine? Loren squinted. This guy's body is vampire. There is no difference between ordinary food and sand mud in his mouth, which means...
"Dear Loren, don’t show that kind of guess What kind of expression." The blood-red pupils opened slightly, and the boy's delicate face smiled playfully: "I just sighed for a moment-as a wizard, you are too shabby."
"I'm really sorry, until now, the hospitality is not good!"
The blue veins on the forehead almost jumped out, and the black hair wizard sat opposite the boy with staring eyes, but had not touched the hip flask. I was stopped by Asriel and opened the mouth and said without looking up:
"Don't touch it, it's already poisoned."
Loren's expression became serious again. Listening to the movement outside the room, the sound of footsteps seemed to become a little chaotic, but they didn't mean to be near the door.
"It is not a deadly poison, but it may make you have intermittent numbness of hands and feet, or severe coughing." Chewing the ribs in the mouth vigorously, the boy carefully "tastes": "It seems that there is a certain special taste, which is probably a symptom of migraine."
Obviously, Van Sterno is not unprepared for himself-for a sorcerer, there is more Is migraine a more dangerous condition?
The casting of high-level spells is a very rigorous and dangerous process. Even a slight mistake can fail to cast, but the end is fatal!
"Everything is for my sake. It's really hard for Mr. Van Sterno."
Lightly sighed then said, but there was a sneer on Loren's face. .
"It seems that even he himself is not a small character." The young man took a sip of the wine and said with a look of intoxication: "Although he is very weak, he does possess void power. Traces.
I’m still not sure what it is, but he should have some kind of alchemy props in his hand, maybe not much inferior to your'bright silver'-of course, there are It may be some kind of very special curse.
After clarifying these, are you still going to accept his conditions? It may be a trap!"
"It is not possible, from the very beginning is a trap." Loren shook his head, his expression seemed to be thinking: "He knows very well that I am looking for Isaac, so he will give me a reason to come-there will be no pie in the world. Good thing, it’s even more impossible and simple like doing business."
"Are you planning to agree to him?" Asriel was stunned and looked at him inexplicably: "This is too risky, dear Loren, it’s not your style."
"No, if I don’t know what he plans to do, it’s an adventure."
black hair wizard shook his head: "But Now that he has guessed his next plan, the risk is non-existent-even more how, this Lord Van Sternow is very valuable, why do you want to let it go now?"
Since I came to Eboden, I have always been in a state of black eyes. There is no reliable, or absolutely trustworthy source of information-Ariel Corona, Bird Lyle, Van Sterno... All people who help themselves either have ulterior motives or are prepared to cheat themselves.
The only person who can be trusted a little bit is the "grandfather" Robert Freswalker Master, but this old man seems to be unwilling to intervene in his own affairs, and if he takes the initiative to ask for help, most of the time Will still be rejected.
What Loren most urgently needs now is a sufficient source of intelligence, an organization that can help him find information and collect intelligence-for now, there is no more suitable target than the crutches.
If you can successfully conquer the Crutches Gang, you can get a strong enough source of information in the south of Eboden City, or even a stable source of financial resources, a base where you can hide, it will do more with one stone.
"Submit the crutches gang?" The boy's expression seemed to have heard something interesting: "Could it be that you are going to be a gang boss...this is still your style."
"No, I think we can do something more interesting." Loren smiled playfully: "We can try to support a guy, let him become the boss of the cane gang-since being a badass, I prefer behind-the-scenes Which one."
"Oh...I am really confident." Asriel shrugged, sighed with a smile "pretending to be mature": "That Mr. Van Sterno is fine. While you are alive, you are going to deal with his property-don’t you worry about being killed by him?"
"Then I will add a little more confidence to him and let him be stable."
While speaking, Loren picked up the messy dinner plate, walked over and knocked on the door lightly.
………… "Boss Van Sterno, that wizard ate all the dinner!"
Slid into the room and sat at the window with a smile on henchman Van Sterno, who was smoking a pipe, said: "It's really not a little bit left. I ate it all."
"Then, did he have any reaction?"
Van Sterno's sullen face is very cold, his eyes are hidden in the floating smoke: "For example, it is mentioned that...the smell is a bit wrong."
"No, not at all!"
p>Looking at henchman's impatient expression, Van Sterno squinted his eyes when he got the answer. His innate caution made him hesitate a little—whether his trick was seen through, or whether the wizard didn’t Not as cunning as you thought?
No, this is not enough insurance, you must ensure that you are foolproof.
"Go tell the fool of Tongban Tuan, let him send a few more people, so that our people will also get in-we must ensure that there will be no mistakes, we have to deal with those "Adults" will also find tricky guys. Any care is necessary!"
"So, what if you fail?"
The words just came out, Henchman couldn't wait to slap himself right away-this is the plan of the boss of Van Sterno, how could it fail? !
"The world is unpredictable, indeed...we may also miss."
There was no anger in Van Sterno's tone, but a very mysterious smile appeared: "What if it fails? It's very simple-we just abandon the'adult' and work with His Excellency Ain Rand."
