Chapter 10 The Mage Tower Is Too Dangerous!

The Sebalon family controls the economic lifeline of Wildfire City.

Among them, the most important source of foreign economics is Seron wine; every year, a large amount of Seron wine is shipped from the eastern port of Bando to the Sea Salt Islands, and then distributed to the south.

And these passenger ships will also bring enough food from the south.

This is the capital that Wildfire City relies on.

Seron is not strictly a wine, although it produces an alcoholic effect, but there is no alcohol in its composition, and the brewing process is said to be without fermentation.

This is more like an alcoholic drink. After drinking Theron, ordinary people will have a very strong sense of pleasure, but their thinking will become very clear, their minds will be calm, and they will even have a feeling of being close to a god.

This thing is slightly addictive, but the dependence is not that great. Although everyone likes the feeling of high concentration and high sobriety, but without this feeling, there is no strong withdrawal reaction.

At least for the locals of Wildfire City, Cyron wine is a high-end luxury; some people who are hostile to the Cybalon family hate their practice of pricing local Cylon wine much higher than the price sold to southerners .

It is said that the mages in the Eastern Kingdom love this kind of alcohol very much. It is no wonder that the drink that can increase concentration and even intelligence in the short term, even if it is a bit addictive, is also very popular among academic masters.

Every year, some malicious spellcasters try to steal the formula of Theron wine.

But they end up disappearing.

Sebalon's plantation also received many spellcasters who visited, most of them did not make trouble and left in a low-key manner.

It is speculated that there are powerful professionals hidden in the Sebalon family.

But this has also become a strange story in Sebalon Manor.

Some people said that none of the mages who visited the Sebalon family's plantation returned. They were all killed by the people of Sebalon, and their bones were buried in the ground and turned into living corpses.

It is also said that there is a terrible demon in the plantation. He must regularly consume the noble flesh of the spellcaster. The Sebalon family serves him, so they are busy producing and exporting Sebalon wine cheaply.

In any case, there is always a veil on the plantation of Cybalon.

Even the personnel inside Sebalon may not be eligible to enter the plantation; the entire production process is strictly divided into links, and local people who know the basics are recruited to work on time.

Many people don't even know what link they are completing.

There are also some local icelanders who disappear in the plantation every year, but they are suppressed by the Cybalon family with high appeasement fees.

All in all, the Sebalon family's plantation, like the Zombie Swamp, is a forbidden area in the north of Wildfire City.

...

"Serones are delicious!"

Irene admired obsessively: "I can't believe that such a delicious wine can come from the hands of demons, and I believe that these rumors are only made up by the enemies of Zebalon to slander them."

"My mind is very clear now, I can even deduce what you are thinking now..."

Xu Nan frowned.

"You are the new city lord!"

Eileen was astonished.

The people around were slightly disturbed.

"The appearance of the Sand tribe is rare in Wildfire City; you are eager to inquire about information and are very immature, which shows that you used to be a pampered guy; although you pretended to be a man, but the sentence 'I don't like big-breasts either 'Expose yourself as a girl...' Irene narrowed her eyes and analyzed it word by word.

"They all said that you have the Wilderness Reclamation Order in your hand, so you will be the next Lord of Wildfire City?"

"Am i right?"

Xu Nan was a little surprised.

He used some disguise technique to go out.

He has also identified before that Irene is just a woman with very ordinary qualities, without the ability of any professional.

Such an ordinary person has a considerable degree of reasoning ability after drinking two glasses of Theron.

Even a sentence she subconsciously pretended to be caught by her.

It can be seen that she looks fluttering, and her mind is indeed very calm and clear now.

Theron...is it really that powerful?

The Theron wine that Xu Nan drank that day may have been destroyed by poison, so he didn't feel anything.

"Master City Lord?"

Irene suddenly grabbed Xu Nan's hand: "Let's talk in the back."

After all, in the eyes of the others, she pulled Xu Nan and left the Green Dragon Tavern familiarly, and came to a remote alley.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Nan looked at her warily.

"Nothing!" Irene hissed, "Among those people just now, there was an informant from the Black Water Gang!"

"I have news that the people from the Blackwater Gang seem to be going against you."

"It's safer here."

Xu Nan was quiet for a while, and soon there was a sound of footsteps in the alley next door, and then left.

Seems to be looking for someone.

"Why help me?" Xu Nan asked.

"Because you bought me a drink!"

Irene said with a smile: "I'm just a bastard with no face and no skin. The people who buy me drinks are all good people, let alone Theron wine!"

Xu Nan nodded, ready to leave.

Irene held him back: "When you become the lord of Wildfire City, can you sell Theron wine cheaper?"

Xu Nan asked in surprise, "Are you addicted?"

Irene laughed and said: "I just like the feeling of knowing everything; and after drinking it, there will be many strange stories in my mind. My dream is to become a playwright. I just drank the two cups , I suddenly thought about how to end the script I had in hand."

Can it be inspired?

This thing must be a big seller on the earth!

The Sebalon family guards such a gold mine, but they only manage it like this? Is there any hidden story behind it?

Xu Nan touched his chin.

"I can't say for sure about such things; but I'll try."

Facing Irene's desire, Xu Nan could only answer vaguely.

"Okay, I should go."

Irene happily brushed her hair together: "The next time we meet, I will let you read my script!"

"By the way, Lord City Master, let me tell you the last piece of information for free!"

"The Wilderness Opening Order in your hand may not be real; it's true, hehe, it's in the mage's tower in the swamp of living corpses!"

After all, her figure disappeared into the alley.

Doesn't look like a bad guy.

Popularity locally is also good.

Do you make a living purely by selling information, and write scripts by the way?

"interesting."

Xu Nan thought carefully about the conversation with Irene, and quietly returned to the city lord's mansion.

Bypassing those obvious surveillance eyes, Xu Nan happily returned to the room.

As a result, there was a person sitting on his bed.

At that moment, Xu Nan's goosebumps rose:

"It's midnight, what are you doing on my bed?"

Gray looked very nervous, he grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, and when he saw Xu Nan coming in, he suddenly stood up:

"I got it!"

Xu Nan's heart relaxed a little, and immediately raised it again:

"What important information did you inquire about?"

Gray closed the door and solemnly said:

"I found out the real whereabouts of the Wilderness Reclamation Order!"

"Could it be in the living corpse swamp in the northern ice field?" Xu Nan replied casually.

Gray showed a look of astonishment: "How do you know?"

"I have definite information, all clues point to that mage tower!"

Xu Nan pondered and said:

"Speak slowly."

Gray took out an apple and said as he gnawed, "We've all been played."

"Behind this wilderness development order, there are shadows of the Minister of State and the royal family of the Eastern Kingdom."

"The two development orders are both fake. In fact, the wild development order has never appeared, and it has been staying in that mage tower!"

Xu Nan took a deep breath: "The royal family?"

The Eastern Kingdom is the Kingdom of the Rhineland, which is also the kingdom of the four princesses led by Bingfeng Caesar.

How does all this have anything to do with the royal family again? Isn't Wildfire City known as a place that the royal family can't control?

Gray gnawed at the apple, straightened things out, and arrived with a whimper.

...

Everything had to start with the death of Sir Button.

After Sir Barton's death, his followers rummaged through his relics, but they couldn't find the Wildland Exploitation Order that was enough to order Wildfire City;

As a follower, Sebalon jumped up, relying on Sebalon wine, and gradually took control of Wildfire City.

But all this is very unwilling to see for the royal family.

The main combat faction in the kingdom even wants to attack the Afaria civilization in the north and open up more land.

In some sort of political compromise, a plot against Wildfire was born.

The intelligence personnel of the Royal Capital entered Wildfire City and spread the news that Sir Barton’s Wilderness Reclamation Order was issued; then they sold the fake Reclamation Order to Quicksand, the highest bidder. The background of Quicksand made the politicians in the Royal Capital very satisfied , Just as Sebalon needs a puppet city lord, so do the people in the capital.

But the people in Wildfire City were obviously misled. They thought the pioneering order was genuine, so someone secretly killed the second lady in Quicksand, and returned to Wildfire City to be sent by the scavenger. Gray believes that the clue points to the Blackwater Gang, who are also poisoners.

But it doesn't matter.

The people in Wangdu and the Sebalon family reached a certain tacit agreement. Wildfire City needs a city lord, and this person is naturally Xu Nan!

From this point of view, his position as the city lord is safe.

But the problem is that the copper order in the hands of the scavengers was also forged by the intelligence personnel of the capital.

Barnes was also deceived. After he found out that he couldn't open the treasure chest of the city lord, he was so angry.

Without something like the seal in the castellan's treasure chest, there is no way to reorganize the city hall and various committees...

The people in the capital want to force them to this position, and then force them to continue to forge all documents.

In this way, not only did they achieve their goal, but they also became well-founded in overthrowing the city lord in the future.

I have to say that these politicians are really vicious.

But therein lies the problem.

The Iceborne people still have their bottom line.

Even if the Sebalon family desperately needed a puppet city lord, they were unwilling to forge the contents of Sir Barton's treasure chest.

Things froze. Now the Sebalon family is said to be very angry, and the capital is also putting pressure on it. The main idea is that if you don't get a city lord for Wildfire City, they will send troops to attack.

This puts Barnes in a dilemma.

Xu Nan doesn't care...he's just a soy saucer.

"I roughly understand."

He rubbed his temples:

"This matter seems to have nothing to do with us. Even if I become the city lord, we will not get any benefits."

Gray spat out the apple core, his eyes flickering:

"indeed so."

"Unless... we can find the real Wilderness Reclamation Token!"

Xu Nan glanced at him and quickly understood his psychology.

This guy has already invested too much energy and planning in supporting himself to become the city lord. If he can't get benefits after the matter is completed, he will be very unwilling.

If you give up now, everything you have done before will be in vain; in terms of financial management, the sunk cost is a bit high.

So he started leaning towards some dangerous options.

For example, get the real Wilderness Development Order.

"My friend in Mithril Fort sent me a message, and I just received it."

Gray took out the second apple and continued to chew:

"He went to the Knowledge Hall of Mithril Castle to check the information for me, and found some old stories."

"When Sir Barton made great achievements, there was a mysterious mage follower by his side; that is, the master of the mage tower in the swamp of living corpses!"

"The mage met Sir Barton before he passed away, and then left. It is said that he wandered around, and no one knew his whereabouts afterwards; Sir Barton must have given him the Wilderness Development Order. "

"And according to my friend's speculation, there is a ninety-nine percent chance that the Wilderness Reclamation Order is in that mage's tower!"

His eyes had begun to glow.

"As long as we get the real development order, the Lord of Wildfire City will be ours!"

"The people of Cebalon must pledge their allegiance to us unconditionally. We can rest assured about the nature of the people in the ice field."

Xu Nan frowned:

"Mage tower or something, it's too dangerous."

"I won't go!"

Gray sneered: "I didn't let you go either, as long as you live obediently."

"I go by my own!"

"But I want more money afterward!"

Xu Nan remained silent.

He was calculating the pros and cons, and the veracity of Gray's information.

To be honest, it's not unusual for a high-level mercenary like Gray to have friends in a holy place of knowledge like Fort Mithril.

In the Hall of Knowledge of Mithril Castle, it is not surprising that there are related records of Sir Barton and the mage.

Xu Nan was concerned about the strength of the master of that mage tower!

Is he still alive?

You know, if you trespass into an owner's mage tower, you basically don't know how to die!

"Is there any information about that mage?"

Xu Nan spoke slowly, breaking the stiff atmosphere.

Gray spat out the third apple core:

"There is not much information."

"Only one name."

"It seems to be called... Jules Emerson..."

Xu Nan showed a thoughtful look.

This name sounds a little familiar.
