Chapter Eleven It's None of My Business Anyway!

"Jule Emerson? This name sounds familiar..."

Xu Nan tried hard to search the memory bank.

However, no matter what he did, he couldn't remember the real origin of the name; sometimes it was like this, when he clearly remembered something, he suddenly forgot it.

"Maybe it's not a very important person."

He subconsciously thinks.

Of course, it may also be that the surname and first name of this name are quite popular names in the Western world on earth, and it is also possible that Xu Nan has some vague impressions.

All in all, without much information, it is absolutely impossible for Xu Nan to go on an adventure in a mage tower like this!

"I've thought about it."

Under Gray's expectant eyes, Xu Nan smiled slightly:

"I wish you a safe journey."

With a bah, Gray spat out the core of the apple and walked away.

...

The next day, Gray made an excuse that he wanted to contact the people in Quicksand, and quietly left Wildfire City. In fact, he ran towards the swamp of living corpses alone.

Xu Nan is not worried about this guy, as a high-level mercenary, he knows how to save his life better than anyone else.

As for whether he can successfully enter the mage's tower and get the wilderness development order... that's unknown.

Today Barnes once again grandly invited him to attend a family banquet at the Sebalon family's manor outside the city, and Xu Nan did not refuse.

For one thing, even though the wilderness development caused problems in this link, it is impossible for Barnes to blatantly harm the nobles of the quicksand unless he sees through his identity as a parallel importer. Regarding this point, Xu Nan thought about it carefully. Most of the people who killed Miss Su were enemies of the Sebalon family, so they probably wouldn't tell such important news.

Secondly, Xu Nan also wanted to know more about the Sebalon family, especially after hearing all the legends about the Sebalon wine.

Although it was not a gathering at the plantation, but at the banquet, we could get in touch with many members of the Ceballon family. Maybe we could get some useful information from some of them?

As for whether the Cebalons would keep their mouths shut, Xu Nan laughed.

Do you really think that such a high charisma is for nothing? Even if you can't cast the illusion, the simple [Dementia Touch] plus [Gravity] can make the professions with high immunity ability sink under Xu Nan's crotch!

A courtesan is the natural profession of a warlock!

It's a pity that most warlocks don't take advantage of this. They are often arrogant and neurotic, unlike Xu Nan who is willing to degenerate... Ah bah, he made the sacrifice for a greater cause, not depraved!

All in all, in the afternoon, Xu Nan got into the carriage of the Barnes family after eating the lunch made by the old maid.

It was a rather luxuriously decorated carriage, pulled by two Northland pony horses. It was not fast, but it was more stable. The structure between the rollers and the bearings was a little complicated. Xu Nan didn't see it at a glance. What a trick, but the suspension performance is surprisingly good.

It is even better than the carriage of the Four Princesses that Xu Nan made before.

"The members of the Sebalon family know how to enjoy themselves."

"There is also special shock-absorbing technology...Although Wildfire City is a frontier town, it looks like a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

Xu Nan sat on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.

The waiter in charge of escorting looked respectful. He didn't look like a local Iceman. He was probably a slave bought by the Sebalon family from the south.

"What's your name?" Xu Nan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the waiter.

"The younger one's name is Martin, and he works with the butler of the South Manor."

The waiter reacted quickly, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Su Xiao, Mr. Su, if you have any doubts, you can ask them. If I know, I will definitely answer."

Xu Nan pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Why don't you call me City Lord?"

The waiter froze for a moment, lowered his head even lower:

"Mr. Su... Before you reorganize the city hall, we are inconvenient... This is what Master Barnes meant."

Xu Nan snorted coldly and looked even more unhappy.

The waiter kept silent, lest he offend this legendary woman with weird habits.

"How many manors does the Sebalon family have in Wildfire City?"

he asked suddenly.

"Two... three if you count the plantation."

The waiter hesitated for a moment, but replied: "We are going to the most lively South Manor, where most of the young children live; the North Manor is an old manor, and only the older generations of the Sebalon family are eligible Living there, the guards there are stricter. As for the plantation, it’s not something we servants can know.”

"Generally, the head of the family lives in the North Manor. Three years ago, the South Manor was in charge of Master Barnes."

Xu Nan nodded, expressing satisfaction with his answer.

The Sebalon family is the land emperor in Wildfire City. There are north and south manors and plantations on the surface, but secretly there are many real estates; people in the ice field work for him and are exploited by them; even so, they want to overthrow Seba The actual control of the Long family is more difficult than reaching the sky.

For those simple-minded Icelanders, it is estimated that the overthrow of Cebalon is tantamount to taking away their jobs...

Xu Nan thought a lot.

Just as he continued to inquire about the situation of the Sebalon family, suddenly, a rushing whistling sound came from the sky!

It's like the sound of an airplane crash landing!

Xu Nan suddenly opened the window of the carriage.

Under the gloomy weather, he saw a stream of fire, across the sky, and flew towards the northwest!

That is……

The direction of the zombie swamp!

"Is something wrong?" he murmured.

No, it stands to reason that Gray just ran over this morning, he is not a magician, and the summoning meteorite technique is not so grand?

"The rumors are indeed true..." The waiter also looked confused, muttering something.

Xu Nan grabbed him: "What rumor?"

The waiter hurriedly said: "Recently, there has been a rumor in Wildfire City."

"There is a treasure hidden in the swamp of corpses, that treasure longs for its master, who seems to be an evil and powerful being, but has died many years ago; now, the treasure has been revived and is looking for him master."

"Many adventurers want to try it, but there is no more news so far."

"Didn't the light just now confirm the birth of the treasure?"

Xu Nan gave him a meaningful look:

"You know a lot. It seems that you are not an ordinary steward."

The waiter was taken aback for a moment, then knelt down in trepidation:

"Master City Lord!"

"I just followed the chief steward more, watched more, heard more, and thought more; I'm just an ordinary steward. Those things just now are all my nonsense!"

Xu Nan looked at the waiter and felt a little interesting.

"Martin?"

"Do you know how to call me City Lord now?"

"Don't worry, I won't tell you the boss, you are working for the Blackwater Gang..."

Xu Nan patted Martin on the shoulder with a smile.

At that moment, Martin's pupils narrowed rapidly, but on the surface he was still forced to smile: "Your Excellency, the city lord, was joking."

"I grew up in South Manor, how could it be..."

Xu Nan told him to shut up, enough is enough.

The waiter was silent for a moment, his expression uncertain.

In fact, Xu Nan just tried it out casually, but he didn't expect to catch a 25-year-old who was hiding in the Sebalon family.

"Go back and tell your boss that poisoning me is the stupidest choice."

Xu Nan said coldly.

Martin said bitterly, "We didn't inflict the poison."

The implication is that he has admitted that he is from the Blackwater Gang. Martin also thought very clearly that Su's identity cannot be changed. Except for the brainless poisoner, whether it is the Blackwater Gang, Sebalon or other forces in Wildfire City, if they want to go further, they must rely on the identity of a legitimate puppet city lord.

This person is the Second Miss from the Quicksand Land.

Even if his identity is exposed, the Blackwater Gang probably won't care about the life and death of a small informant like him.

Now if he wanted to survive, he had to win Su's trust!

In other words, lick and be done!

"Is that so?"

Xu Nan looked at him playfully, and suddenly closed the curtains:

"Go on."

Martin asked cautiously, "Where are you going? Over the swamp, or South Manor?"

Xu Nan said lazily:

"Of course it's South Manor."

"What's in the swamp of living corpses is none of my business anyway."

Martin nodded and bowed: "Okay, okay."

After all, he urged the coachman to continue on his way.

The carriage started slowly and galloped towards the South Manor.

...

The swamp of living corpses.

In a deep swamp, a piece of silver-white metal skeleton gradually floated up, but it looked a little small in the mud.

Not far away, several living corpses passed by. They were not interested in this kind of non-living body, and quickly went to other places.

Before long, there was only dead silence left here.

Intermittent mechanical sounds came from the quagmire:

"My lord..."

"Coordinate positioning deviation..."

"My lord..."

Suddenly, the image of a silver-haired little Luoli flashed past. She looked melancholy at the gray sky and the dirty swamp, and sighed deeply, her eyes full of bewilderment.

Soon, her figure disappeared, and even the piece of silver-white metal sank.

The vision about the swamp of living corpses spread throughout Wildfire City in one afternoon.

The adventurers are gearing up, and the careerists are also planning.

For a while, various topics about the swamp of living corpses were rampant.

Some adventurer teams are openly recruiting troops, wanting to gather and clean up the living corpses and explore the so-called treasures!

...

The hustle and bustle in Wildfire City has nothing to do with Xu Nan.

Before night, he had already arrived at the South Manor of the Sebalon Family.

The Southern Manor is built in the west of the Ghost Mother Forest. It has a forest farm and two mines. It is said that there is a frozen lake in the south. There are some mysterious fishes in the lake all year round. It is a famous fishing place near Wildfire City. land.

The wheels of the carriage rolled over the not too deep snow and arrived at the atrium of a new castle.

Xu Nan got out of the car and looked up.

This castle is obviously newly built, leaning against a not too high cliff, the back mountain is the ghost mother forest.

In the atrium, there is a tall statue. Xu Nan has seen this person. He should be the ancestor of the Sebalon family, who followed Sir Barton and made great achievements.

Barnes, wearing a cloak, seemed to have been waiting a long time.

The castle was lit with fire. Judging from the number of carriages in the atrium, today's dinner seemed to be very lively.

Xu Nan got out of the carriage, and suddenly, a strange throbbing came from deep in his blood!
