In the middle of the commercial street in the Nancheng District of Lanhai Castle, a triangular table covered with a snow-white tablecloth was placed.

Red wine, white wine, brown rum, colorless and transparent brandy, prepared cocktails, various desserts, accompanying foods, and various fruits almost filled the table.

Several chefs in snow-white uniforms and their assistants were busy processing the prepared ingredients with focused expressions.

A dozen maids with tall figures and charming faces kept quiet with their hands behind their backs, waiting for instructions.

Next to this unique triangular table, on two hand-polished black walnut chairs, were sitting Raymond and Trini, the lord of the Castle of the Sea, respectively. They were facing in the direction This is where the main city of Lanhai Castle is located.

City Lord Trini, who still had an excited look on his face, after promising to hand over the wizard sent by the Supreme Council to attack the Winged Tiger Clan's residence, he extended an invitation to Raymond, hoping to establish a harmonious relationship with him, and wanted to set up a A banquet was held in honor of his arrival.

Raymond was a little confused about the person in front of him, and the sincerity and enthusiasm he showed also made him extremely confused.

And what puzzles Raymond the most is that the Nancheng District of Lanhai Castle looks like this. Although the residents here are like walking corpses, they still maintain considerable vitality. This This phenomenon particularly made Raymond curious.

So when Raymond frankly expressed his doubts, the city lord Trini, who promised to give him an answer on the spot, ordered the street to be closed and quickly turned it into his living room, inviting Raymond to sit down. Taste the food and wine of Lanhai Castle, and listen to his story about a not-too-distant history. And stories about him!

"There used to be an extremely happy family on the street corner of Shangcheng District of Lanhai Castle. The male owner was originally a traveling merchant selling Warcraft Cores. After meeting the female owner who lived here, he stayed..."

The city lord Trini, who was holding a wine glass in his hand and looking a little dazed, began to tell, while Raymond, who listened carefully, quickly understood the protagonist of this story. In fact, it was the city lord Trini himself.

At the beginning, it was a love story. His parents were not rich but their life was relatively worry-free.

But in the end, this happy family was completely destroyed due to a fire. Little Trini, who was considered by everyone to be unable to remember, was abandoned by his mother's relatives in the slums on the third day after becoming an orphan. , let him fend for himself.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s just too lucky, or if his maternal relatives are too unlucky. Little Trini, who was accidentally discovered in the slums by the old city lord of Lanhai Castle, actually had the potential to become a wizard. Within ten years, he became the successor designated by the old city lord and was sent to the high tower. A place to continue studying.

"It's a pity. If those relatives hadn't appeared at the party when I returned to Lanhai Castle to take over, maybe this city in your eyes would not be like this..."

Speaking of the city lord Trini here. For the first time, a trace of regret appeared on his expression, and when he raised the glass of wine and gestured to Raymond, he actually changed the subject. "Lord Raymond, thank you for venting your grievances for me in the land of high towers. Please drink first as a token of respect..."

Raymond was stunned by the futile change of topic, but after a moment's thought, he finished the cup and spoke. "Who is Master Lan Modo to you?"

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."

City Lord Trini, who didn't feel the surprise, laughed and turned his gaze in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion before asking curiously. "How did you tell?"

"Master Lan Modo's attainments in talisman formation are admirable..."

After hearing Raymond's answer, City Lord Trini flashed a trace of nostalgia in his eyes and continued with a smile. "It's a pity that no matter what, I can't surpass that monster-like Demiran. I really disappoint the old city lord..."

Raymond, who wanted to speak, hesitated for a moment but did not continue the topic and changed the topic again. "This is already the case in Nancheng District, so is it the same in Beicheng District?"

"Yes, once you start doing some things, there is no way out..."

City Lord Trini, who stood up while speaking, pointed at the vaguely visible northern city and continued his previous narration. "After I came back and took over the city, I finally found out the truth about the fire through some means. It turned out that because they were afraid that my mother would take the family's wealth, they took me with my father to settle in the interior. . So he bribed the city guard officials at the time and caused the fire..."

"Hate can become motivation at some point, but it can also cloud one's conscience. So when I finally wanted to give up, I found that this place has become like this..."

"This kind of black magic obtained from the old city lord's secret room also made the changes in Lanhai Castle irreversible. Therefore, he was regarded as the genius of the talisman formation second only to Demiran by the teacher Lan Modo. , and became the ruler and owner of such a city, facing such people and subordinates every day..."

City Lord Trini, who spoke faster and faster, had an uncontrollable smile on his expression. At the end of the sentence, he dropped the wine glass in his hand, covered his chest as if he was being choked, and started coughing violently!

Because the city lord Trini did not avoid the chefs and maids when he spoke, the busy chef and the maid next to him heard everything he said.

However, these ordinary people who were still alive did not show surprise or panic, but lowered their heads and looked extremely sad.

Moreover, the driver of the light carriage that Raymond had hired before also came out from the corner where he was hiding, kneeling on one knee with tears in his eyes!

"Lord Raymond, there are no more than a thousand people alive in this Lanhai Castle that is like a dead city, and they are all ordinary families or servants who have given me favors or provided services to the old city lord..."

The city lord Trini turned around, his eyes were slightly red, but there was no madness in his pupils. He saluted with the noble bow very elegantly, and then smiled with his head tilted. "Lord Octopus Hand Raymond, your reputation has spread widely among the wizard class. In addition to the previous request, what other purpose do you have for entering Lanhai Castle this time?"

"Before you came back here, how many residents did Lanhai Castle have?"

Raymond's question made the city lord Trini stunned for a moment, but then he reported it out. "Eighty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty-three people!"

"Originally, it was just because I couldn't bear to let the ordinary residents here suffer the massacre of the Warcraft Alliance, but it seems that such a goal can no longer be achieved..."

At this point, the city lord Trini, who had a little apology on his face, sighed, and saluted again as if he was very sorry, and then sighed. "Yes, in addition to restoring the residents here to their original lives, I am happy to serve anything else!"

Raymond couldn't describe his impression of the person in front of him, so he asked directly. "Are the troops that attacked the Winged Tigers' base members of the Monbia Legion?"

"Oh, that's not the case. They are part of the newly established Lanzhijiao Legion. Currently, all of them are imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. You can take them away at any time..."

Raymond was even more confused after hearing this. "Then why did you provide them with information before? And after they entered the Lanhai Castle, you still had to put up a full-scale resistance?"

It seemed that he couldn't understand Raymond's doubts. The city lord Trini frowned and thought for a moment, and asked in vain. "Wouldn't it be more interesting?"

"Interesting?"

Raymond's somewhat stunned repetition made the city lord Trini even more puzzled, and he immediately asked back. "Yes, if the Warcraft Alliance did not come to attack the Lanhai Castle, how could I test the defensive effect of the Lanhai Castle? How could the loopholes in the defense system here be discovered..."
