Chapter 41 "Shameless Warlock"
Of course, Xu Nan didn't know that the two samples he submitted casually had caused the staff of the unknown biology laboratory to be overwhelmed.
He was still wondering why Miraku's sample analysis hadn't yielded results yet.
So he urged a little bit, um, the wording was very euphemistic, and he didn't say clearly that if the result was not overdue, he would write a small essay to report to the Supreme Council, but thinking about it, it would also put some pressure on those carefree warlocks.
Only this time, Xu Nan was really wrong.
The unknown biological laboratory in Lost Paradise is an outsourcing project, and the people working here are all real workaholics.
The reason why they didn't return Miraku's analysis results was because they really didn't have a clue.
In any case, the trip to the Mage Tower was not completely fruitless, at least it made Xu Nan understand the value of Wildfire City.
As for the God of Blood, it is more or less a hidden danger, but the God of Poverty swears, Stephen Sang is close at hand, and there is a reliable boss-level boss like Luo Mang standing behind him, Xu Nan feels that he has to make good use of it no matter what. .
If, before the emerald mine was discovered, Xu Nan's attitude towards Wildfire City was still dispensable; then now, Wildfire City has been regarded as his possession.
"It's time to pay more attention to the Wilderness Reclamation Order."
He touched his chin and moved it up calmly.
Zeppola's group and Gray still acted together. Although they were on guard against each other, they didn't tear their faces apart.
They seem to have reached some kind of agreement, supervising each other and searching every inch of the mage tower.
However, the result disappointed them.
I didn’t even see the shadow of the Wilderness Opening Order. For this reason, Gray and Zeppola each consumed a lot of [Secret Door Scouting Scroll] and [Metal Detection Scroll]; Very useful in.
Both sides have spent their money.
But the result was still no trace, and Gray even began to doubt the authenticity of the Wilderness Reclamation Order.
Zeppola and the others also looked disappointed.
When Xu Nan found them, they had already decided to leave.
On the one hand, the Mage Tower looked a little unstable and might collapse at any time; on the other hand, they were basically sure that the Wilderness Opening Order was not in this Mage Tower at all!
"It's really futile..."
Zeppola gave a wry smile, and took the lead in asking to leave.
Xu Nan maintained the restraint of "Song of the Small Town" and let them leave. Not long after, Gray also proposed to retreat. This one was a lot more slick and tried to ask Xu Nan for contact information, but Xu Nan coldly refused.
As for Emma, long after the aberrations were wiped out, she left the swamp with her flying machine; for her, Jules' manuscript was the most important treasure.
Xu Nan stood alone in front of the mage's tower that was gradually sinking into the bottom of the swamp, looking at the shadows of several living corpses that faintly flashed in the distance, huge questions came to his mind one after another:
"How did Zeppola and his party find the Mage Tower?"
"Is the Wilderness Reclamation Order really just a forgery?"
"If it is said that the Blood God has not awakened, then what is going on with the plantation of the Sebalon family?"
These questions have no answers for now.
But he had a strong hunch.
All will be revealed soon.
...
Ten days later.
wildfire city. Black Pearl underground fun venue.
A tall and straight man frowned, walked through the corridor where Yingying Yanyan was singing and dancing, passed through the entrance, and arrived at a relatively quiet private room.
The fireplace in the private room was burning with raging flames. Several naked women from the Northland were laughing and playing cards on the sofa, but their voices were very soft, as if they were afraid of disturbing Xu who was reading a book not far away. Nan.
snap!
Gray threw the weapon on the shelf casually, strode up to Xu Nan, grabbed the wine glass in Xu Nan's hand without hesitation, drank it down, and then wiped his mouth unhappily:
"How long are you going to stay in this place?"
Xu Nan closed half of the manuscript in his hand, and glanced at Gray:
"What? Can mercenaries dictate their employer's private life?"
Gray sneered, then bent down suddenly, and said with a grim expression:
"You can't control your lower body, you really fucked them?"
"Do you think the women here are reliable?"
"You'd better remember the role you are playing now!"
Xu Nan closed the manuscript completely calmly, feeling a completely different attitude from the guy he met as Xiaocheng Song before, and couldn't help feeling: This is too real!
"do not worry."
He whispered: "I just let them play around."
Gray looked at Xu Nan suspiciously: "I don't believe you can bear it."
Xu Nan chuckled: "Believe it or not."
Of course, he only went to the brothel to do the task of the ascetic department. In fact, he moved into this brothel the day after he left the swamp of living corpses. Today should be the last day.
As for Gray, this guy also came back dejectedly from the swamp of living corpses not long after.
Xu Nan pretended to ask him what happened, but he kept silent, probably because he was afraid of being looked down upon.
But at this moment, it should be almost the same.
Xu Nan coughed, waved her hand, and signaled the girls to go down first. Anyway, he paid enough money and didn't need to work. The girls here liked him very much.
After a while, the box became quiet.
Xu Nan dropped a [Soundproof Barrier] by the way. In a place like Wildfire City where there are mixed fish and dragons, you still have to be careful; anyway, Xu Nan has a lot of shame points on hand now, and there are discounts for buying some prefecture-level spells.
"What happened in town recently?"
Xu Nan looked into Gray's eyes, and he knew that something important must have happened if this guy couldn't sit still and came looking for him.
Gray snorted coldly, took out an apple habitually, and began to nibble on it.
Xu Nan noticed that this guy's eating posture was a bit strange, like a little girl, nibbling little by little; if it wasn't for his manly posture when eating other things, Xu Nan even suspected that Gray was disguised as a man, or Hamsters become sperm or something.
Anyway, these days, anything is possible!
"Something happened."
"But let's start from the beginning."
Gray's expression was a bit cloudy and uncertain. After a while, he seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, and said in a low voice:
"I went to the Zombie Swamp before, but I didn't find the Wilderness Reclamation Order; I met people from the Sebalon family. In fact, I was with them during the entire search process. I didn't find it, and neither did they. .”
Xu Nan knew all this, but he still showed a listening look, nodded and said:
"I didn't find it, and it may not be a bad thing."
"No!" Gray's expression suddenly became very strange: "This is where things get weird."
"I can be sure that there is no possibility of the wilderness development order in that mage tower; with their adventurer level, it is impossible to stage a trick under my nose, not to mention that there are two legendary mages beside them Watch!"
"Legendary Mage!" Xu Nan exclaimed pretending to be surprised.
Gray sneered: "It is indeed a legendary mage! Master Song from the small city of Ice Wind, and a female spellcaster who is suspected to be from Stephen Sang, are all extremely powerful guys; but they have nothing to do with this matter..."
"Have you talked to them yet?"
Xu Nan's acting skills are lifelike, and she looks like a curious baby.
Gray hesitated for a moment, then raised his head proudly and said:
"Talk to me? You underestimate me, don't you?"
"In fact, Master Song and I had a very happy conversation. When we parted, he even gave me an umbrella as a souvenir."
Xu Nan almost didn't laugh out loud.
Okay, Gray's version of [I'm Talking and Laughing with Legends]?
"Let's get down to business."
Gray said solemnly: "It stands to reason that both of us returned empty-handed. But just a few days ago, there was news that Zeppola's team found the Wilderness Reclamation Order!"
"And they were found in the mage's tower!"
Xu Nan showed a look of surprise. This time he was really surprised. After all, he hadn't been out of the brothel for ten days to do the mission, and the news was very closed.
"What's more interesting is yet to come. The adventurer team was ambushed on the way back to Sebalon Manor. Although there were no casualties, there are rumors that the Wilderness Exploitation Order seems to have been dropped in the chaos. Bag."
"And just yesterday, Cook, the boss of the Blackwater Gang, suddenly proposed to open the treasure chest of the castellan."
"He said that the Wilderness Exploitation Order is in his hands."
Having said that, Gray spat the apple core on the ground viciously, complaining:
"What do you call this?"
"By the way, today is the time when Cook opened the treasure chest of the city lord under the witness of the rest of the people. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Xu Nan pondered for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "No."
Gray spread his hands: "I knew the money wasn't that easy to earn."
"I don't play anymore."
"Damn it, even the savages in Wildfire City are so smart, how terrible are those southerners!"
"I'd better be my mercenary honestly."
Xu Nan was very relaxed. He smiled and asked, "Is there any other news?"
Gray thought about it:
"Recently, there is a script that is very popular. It is unbelievably popular."
"It's not that I discriminate against these Icelanders, but they obviously don't have any artistic talents."
"But recently they were suddenly fascinated by a script. It is said that there is not enough toilet paper for rich people now, and everyone is copying that story."
Xu Nan shook the manuscript in his hand: "Is it this one?"
Gray took a closer look, and saw the title of the book written crookedly on the manuscript
"Shameless Warlock".
Author, Erin Trillis.
"This is the one. You actually have the full version?"
Gray tutted: "Now this thing is a good thing with a price but no market in Wildfire City."
Xu Nan touched her nose:
"I don't think it's a good thing."
In the corner, a spider crawled along the web. Suddenly, the web broke and it fell to the ground in embarrassment.
There were hurried footsteps in the corridor.
A waiter hurriedly came over to report:
"Mr. Su, Master Barnes is here, please make sure to return to the Santo's mansion."
A playful smile appeared on Xu Nan's face.
He patted Gray on the shoulder:
"The show has begun."
