Chapter 297
Brown, gray, curly hair, leather long-sleeved trench coat, and those eyes that look like... solar flares.
Yes, how could Loren forget this Mr. Root Infinite? He remembers very clearly-even if this middle age person had a facelift, changed his clothes, broke another leg, and dressed as a cripple old beggar who can be seen everywhere on the street...
Can also pull him out!
The black hair wizard whose body suddenly tightened, and his dark pupils stared at Corona in front of him--why, why would he tell himself this information?
Is it out of favor among "allies"?
no no no, compared to this, how did he know about it?
Slowly loosen the clenched hilt, Loren, who was still showing killing intent a moment ago, leaned back on the chair behind him as if relaxing, and looked at the old man’s unchanging expression:
"About this information...Did you find it, or is it... His Excellency Rutte Infinite told you personally?"
Corona just smiled kindly, as if there was no Seeing the action of the black hair wizard just now: "You are very quick, Lord Loren Torino-yes, the nine-pointed star wizard tower and the night watch are mutually beneficial allies."
"Hello. Surprised, Lord Corona Archon." Loren sneered: "If you hadn’t told me this, I don’t know where the night watchman got the assistance to train so many skilled and advanced spells. The assassin!"
The slightly nodded old man is not even half annoyed, and the look in Loren's eyes is more like looking at a naughty grandchild.
"But you are only half right."
"Half?"
"The wizard tower needs a huge network of news and interests of the night watchman, To ease the pressure brought by the church; the night watchmen need the resources of the wizard tower to train their core members—pharmaceuticals, places, spells, materials, and even students and training personnel, which is also costly. These are the prerequisites for our cooperation. "
Corona looked at him kindly: "Can you understand the meaning?"
The premise of cooperation?
Loren slightly paused, tentatively speaking: "You want to say that the cooperation between the two parties is for mutual benefit, and it has nothing to do with who is the leader of the night watch?"
"It is So. Do you still remember the reason why Lord Infinite asked you to come?"
It was because the night watchman failed to snatch the Holy Blood Potion in Eboden, which caused the entire Eboden Most of the night's watchman was lost, and this is...
Loren dumbfounded.
"The cooperation between us and the night watchman is equal and mutual assistance, but that time His Excellency Root Infinite obviously misunderstood." The cold corner of the old man's eyes flashed by: "No With advance notice, he put his paws into Eboden-for such dishonest "ally", of course, a small punishment must be given."
So the reason why the night watchman failed is actually the wizard tower. Halfway back?
That’s why Root Infinite didn’t dare to send a new night watchman to Eboden, instead he found himself a night watchman who is "not a night watchman"...
"The Night Watch is an organization directly under the Imperial Family. Even as an ally, we can have very limited influence on them." Corona has a deep vision and a modest tone: "But if you think there is a chance to not affect the overall situation Next,'change a new night watchman leader to the stage...
I promise, the wizard tower will spare no effort to support you to take a risk!"
The old man’s indifferent, as if just To say a trivial thing-as if he had already determined that he had become Brandon's wizard consultant just to kill Rout Infinit.
Of course, this is indeed part of the reason...
"Trust me so?" Loren chuckled and shrugged: "You seem to have forgotten that I am also a'night watchman'. "Here."
"This is the perfect place. You are also a night watchman, but at the same time our'owner'." Corona could not deny: "Even if you are like this There is no chance for outsiders to recommend a candidate you can trust and is willing to cooperate. It is also beneficial to the wizard tower."
I am really confident...
"No matter what, Lu Te Infinite will take a trip in person, which proves that there is absolutely important information that can only be presented by him. It is likely to be related to His Royal Highness Brandon-this is not only a danger for you, but also an opportunity."
The old man slowly opened the mouth and said: "As the wizard advisor next to His Royal Highness, it can be the peak and end of a lifetime for other wizards, but it can only be a springboard for you; catch you Whatever you can hold on, hold on tight. You can hold on tight—whether it’s despicable or just and honorable, the method is not important, the result is the most important!"
"forgive me to speak Bluntly, aren’t you trying to entice me?" black hair wizard jokingly said: "Grab prestige, then climb up and so on..."
"But this is exactly what you need, too What we need.” Corona looked at Loren with admiration: “In the face of dangerous enemies and forces, you also need an awe-inspiring position in addition to strength; and the wizard tower also needs an ally with sufficient status, for We share the pressure of the church."
"I remember you said that wizard is the future, and the past must be in order to give way to the future?"
"Yes, but the future is also We have to fight for it with our own hands." Wiping his old and wrinkled hands, the old man opened his eyes silently:
"For the future that is destined to come, we should do our best to ensure nothing is lost!"
…………………………
Walking in the alley, watching the black hair wizard leaving the carriage, staring at the setting sun hanging on the horizon and the burning cloud-like sunset, Enjoying quietly this is not the scenery that everyday all can have.
There is no one around the street, and it will take half an hour for the nearest patrol team to find themselves. Before they came, they had plenty of scenery and enjoyed a rare time alone.
It’s strange...
"Are you not ready to come out?" sighed, Loren softly opened the mouth and said without looking back:
"Still Say... plan to wait until I stand in front of you?"
The alley is still empty, and Loren standing still seems to be talking to himself.
next moment, there was a second shadow in the alley that was covered with the sunset. The black hair wizard raised his mouth slightly: "When did you come here?"
Edward's expression is ugly, his mouth is tight and he stares at Loren's back, as if he is still struggling in his eyes.
"It's just an accident." The indifferent night watchman murmured, his voice faintly heard from behind Loren: "I should have returned directly to the wizard tower, but I suddenly wanted to come to you in the middle of the journey, but... "
"Unexpected, right?" The black hair wizard chuckled, and Edward's expression was even more ugly.
"Yes, unexpected..."
The night watchman found that he had nothing to say except this.
Loren Torino is not a real night watchman, and he is not qualified to demand him by the standards of a night watchman; and similarly, he does not have the need to tell him everything.
Although the two sides can barely be regarded as friends, this friendship is not strong enough to be open-hearted-even more how, even if it is a true "friend", there are few things to deceive and conceal each other NS?
Even Peter Fasa has secrets that he has never told them; on the other hand, Edward himself is not like Wanquanhe himself, he is just a hooligan from the gutters and lanes.
At the very least, how can a hooligan in a gully lane use an expensive weapon like a stabbing sword?
Loren is just laughed, turning his face to look towards the indifferent night watchman, with a calm expression: "Could you tell me what you found?"
Long silence, time It is slowly passing by, and the patrol will come at any time.
"...I didn't see anything." Edward slowly opened the mouth and said: "On the way back, I accidentally ran into you, nothing more."
Don't do unnecessary things, just do your own business, try to take care of friends and trustworthy guys-this is Edward's "Secret of Survival" and his way from a hooligan to a night watchman.
But what if you have to take a risk in order to help your friends?
If the opportunity is right in front of you, you only need to do a little extra work yourself and a little more "ambition"?
"Before we go back, can you answer me a little question, Edward?" Loren turned around, opened the mouth and said with a chuckle: "Pre-statement, this is just a hypothesis. …I can provide you with such an opportunity to replace Rout Infinite and become the leader of the night watch...
Will you agree?"
