Shameless Warlock

No matter what kind of beliefs the city lord of Banduo harbor gave Xu Nan such generous treatment, Xu Nan thought for a moment, and wrote a polite reply letter, in which he thanked Viscount Gerich for his gentlemanly demeanor, After all, before the unknown city develops its own channels, there is a high probability that it will ask for help from the strong transportation capacity of Bantu Port.

Although the relationship between the two is embarrassing, and the contract that was said to be witnessed by the treasure dragon and the ice goddess was also canceled by Gerich, but at the very least, there is no direct conflict of interest between the two forces, and even in the northern ice fields. In terms of interest appeals, there is a very consistent goal.

Ever since Xu Nan played the banner of Stephen Sang, the Eastern Kingdom's attitude towards Unknown City has become very subtle. On the one hand, almost no one dared to make things difficult; on the other hand, no one dared to show closeness.

Xu Nan is well aware of this. For him, this situation in the Eastern Kingdom is not difficult to understand, especially with Evelyn as a strategic advisor, he is not worried that he or the unknown city will continue to maintain a semi-invisible posture in the The previous image of many territories in the Eastern Kingdom.

Not many people have come into contact with Xu Nan yet, most of which are due to some inherent concepts or forces.

However, under the undercurrent, who knows how many people have already been tempted by the name of Stephen Sang, Xu Nan is not in a hurry, he is waiting for those territories to come to test him.

Of course, not being in a hurry does not mean that he will sit still.

He had to release his goodwill to a certain extent, and this deal with Viscount Gerich was the first time Xu Nan took the initiative to release his goodwill to the Eastern Kingdom.

As a representative of Stephen Sang, Unknown City is also eager to integrate into the existing power structure of the Northern Continent, which is crucial to the growth of Unknown City-on this strategic policy, even the always harsh Gray Tower Administration None of the officials had any objection.

After completing the written appointment with Viscount Guy Ritchie in the letter, Xu Nan began to retrieve the second letter.

This is also the second surprise that Xu Nan has received recently.

This letter was not sealed with a formal wax seal, and of course it was not mailed by a courier. From the outside, it was a rather convenient diary note, no different from what Xu Nan usually received in a drift bottle. ——Recently, Xu Nan has become more free, and plays with drifting bottles more often.

For some reason, Xu Nan was surprised to find that Evelyn also looked very idle; the reason was that every time he sent a message, the other party replied almost instantly.

It seems that Bingfengling's life is much better than it was at the beginning.

It is also possible that the ice wind collar has completely entered the season of heavy snow and the mountains, and the preparation period before winter has been completely over. Now the ice wind collar should be completely silent, and everyone is warming and sleeping at home boredly. No exception.

Through these two days of communication, Xu Nan learned from Evelyn that the Ice Wind Leader actually owns the right to mint coins in the Eastern Kingdom!

You must know that since the establishment of wizard economics in the Arcane Empire, even the most backward common civilization has a good understanding of currency and economy, and such things as minting rights are very strictly controlled by any country.

It is theoretically impossible for an enclave like Ice Wind Territory to have a separate coinage right.

"According to Evelyn, Bingfengling's coinage right is actually a favor bestowed on her by the old king. His fundamental purpose is actually to give some favor to his second son, who he prefers more. But such things as coinage rights, If you give it to a certain heir alone, it will cause other people to target it together, so when he distributed the minting rights, he also hypocritically gave Evelyn a share. The purpose is actually to share the hatred value with the second prince!"

"However, unlike the residence of the second prince, Bingfengling has no precious metal mines at all; this cannot meet the needs of Jinlongling, which has high requirements for gold content; with Bingfengling's backward productivity and equally barren mines Field resources, it takes a lot of effort to get a few tons of copper plates from the copper ore produced every year..."

Xu Nan smiled slightly, lit the letter paper casually, pondered for a while, and began to write a relatively formal reply letter.

Evelyn has the right to mint coins, and he has gold nuggets that he doesn't want to waste. Naturally, the two parties have a need for further cooperation in this regard. As for whether Evelyn is willing to cooperate, Xu Nan will not worry.

After all, she bears the surname that once made thousands of creatures in the Northern Continent bow their heads.

And once these Golden Dragon Orders are available, Xu Nan will buy more Northland supplies at a cheaper price, which will be very helpful for Unknown City to embark on the fast track of development.

He spent almost half an hour considering the words and sentences, and even his tone was much more serious than usual.

After delivering the letter through the unstable portal, he didn't sit still.

He knew that for such a major event, Evelyn needed event consideration.

After all, cooperating with Xu Nan means that there will be a large number of Golden Dragon Tokens in the Eastern Kingdom's market in the future, which may have a great impact on the economic system within the Kingdom.

As for these things, Xu Nan, who has the protection of four Stephen Sangs, naturally has no scruples, but it is not something she can ignore.

...

At night, Xu Nan, who had been busy all day, returned to her home.

It is worth mentioning that since the establishment of the unknown city, he would go home to sleep every night.

Although there are no other people in this somewhat abrupt building standing in the residential area of ​​Unknown City, he is still used to living here.

This house that was captured by the Dengyun ship can give Xu Nan a sense of peace of mind.

Although he has long adapted to the many rules of the general world, he still misses the scenery on the earth very much.

Xu Nan stood in the empty garage, meticulously depicting the familiar magic circle.

Today, he spent almost half a day confirming that Sister Ah Tang had completely lost contact with him, and the master-servant contract between the two of them was destroyed somehow.

This made Xu Nan not only disappointed, but also a little lucky.

The appearance and disappearance of Ah Tang are full of mystery. Although this guy is very vigorous and a good housekeeper, Xu Nan will inevitably feel uneasy if he lets an unexpected factor by his side.

Now it seems that Ah Tang's response to Xu Nan's pet contract was purely for Xiner. Now that Xiner has gone to the Pantheon, she has no reason to continue to stay by Xu Nan's side.

Although I don't know where she went, what Xu Nan can be sure of is——

I can finally summon another pet!

normal pet.

The kind that can't speak!

Xu Nan's request is not high, just a handy tool man, no matter if it's a crow or a weasel, he can bear even a goblin!

After all, he is a dignified third-level spellcaster, so it's too shameful not to have a pet.

...

"There should be no problem."

"Last time, there must have been some mistakes in the magic circle."

"It is said that as the level increases, the probability of summoning a powerful pet also increases. Bless you and give me a powerful pet!"

After Xu Nan set up the magic circle, he habitually wanted to pray, but suddenly found that he didn't know who to ask.

The general gods probably wouldn't respond to his prayers, and the only god born on earth was his own cheap daughter, so praying like this would mess up his seniority and be inappropriate.

"Forget it, just pray casually, in short, bless me with a strong...normal baby!"

City Lord Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally withdrew Qiang Li's somewhat vague request.

After setting up the summoning circle, the long waiting time began.

Because Xu Nan's spellcasting level has risen, the relative waiting time has also been shortened from twelve hours to about two hours. Out of curiosity and worry about pets, he simply stood in front of the summoning circle.

When he was bored, he began to retrieve his character card.

"The monk's abilities look pretty good, but unfortunately I'm not good at melee combat."

"What's the matter with this lotus imprint? It seems to be the product of the enlightenment given to me by my senior last time. I don't know what it's useful for..."

At this moment, Xu Nan's attention was attracted by the light that suddenly lit up in the magic circle.

At the same time, the lotus imprint in his body resonated slightly with it for some reason.

"Huh? Is it time?"

Xu Nan stared at the summoning circle, afraid that the silhouette of a giant panda would appear again inside.

The intense light was converging, and immediately, a somewhat astonishing image appeared in front of Xu Nan.

That's...a...

Goose!

Xu Nan stared dumbfounded at the creature in front of him. It had snow-white feathers and strong wings. Its head was raised high, as if it was quite proud.

Accompanied by the throbbing of the soul and blood, the pet contract between the two parties was automatically signed under the witness of the summoning circle and the contract god.

As the light dissipated, Xu Nan watched the goose docilely walking up and down beside her, and even touched the back of his hand a little affectionately.

This looks like a very ordinary goose.

"Forget it, at least it's a normal pet, although it doesn't look useful."

Xu Nan forced herself to comfort herself.

No way, pets like geese seem to be really useless to Xu Nan. After all, among the countless magical creatures in his mind: crows can send messages, skunks can sneak, poisonous snakes can kill people, and toads are good at predicting... A creature like a lone goose might not be of much help other than looking handsome.

Thinking of this, Xu Nan couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. It seems that he has no fate with powerful pets, and he has to rely on his own body to improve his strength!

The only thing that puzzled him was that he couldn't see through the attributes of this goose.

In the Lost Paradise system, all the data of this goose is in a state of garbled characters. Xu Nan searched briefly and found that this situation occurred. Cannot be deciphered by approximate organisms.

In other words, this is an unknown creature to the system.

"Well, isn't it the product of the summoning of the astral world, but from the outer world?"

Xu Nan is not surprised by this situation. After all, it has gone through an unknown period of integration. Although the general world seems to be prosperous, it is actually riddled with holes. Everywhere may have a link to other worlds. Occasionally, a few creatures from the outside world flowed through the gap, and it was a matter of smooth growth that they happened to be captured by Xu Nan's summoning channel.

After all, the goose in the outside world is just a goose.

While Xu Nan was looking at his new pet, the goose seemed to have a clear understanding of its identity.

It kept puffing out its chest in front of Xu Nan, and occasionally flapped its wings, making a slight sound.

Through the fluctuation of the pet contract, Xu Nan can partially understand its intention.

Is it showing Xu Nan's chest muscles?

"You want me to give you some work?"

"Can you do it well?"

Xu Nan was a little pleased to find that although this goose couldn't talk like Ah Tang, it seemed to be very intelligent, and it could understand Xu Nan's words!

The big goose nodded, showing the haughty expression at the beginning.

Xu Nan thought for a while, and was just about to say something to comfort her, signaling her new pet to be safe and not to be impatient.

Suddenly, the Paradise Lost system took the initiative to swipe a reminder——

[Unknown creatures detected, scanning the inner database...]

[The scan is complete, the biometric identity has been confirmed...]

[Do you want to install the inner database plug-in? 】

Xu Nan secretly scolded Paradise Lost for the fee-based service, hesitated a little, and chose to confirm.

After all, he has known for a long time that the Lost Paradise system is only a basic version, and there are more functions that need krypton gold to unlock. This is also in line with Ron Warlock's style. According to Mr. How to force you to become stronger? Although it may sound a bit irrational, it also makes sense in a sense.

The so-called inner database generally refers to the high-level database of Paradise Lost. The records in it are usually high-level confidential information. Based on Xu Nan's bizarre experience along the way, he has seen dragons, gods, evil spirits, and star spirits. ...It can be said that there are almost no surprises, but even so, there is no prompt to trigger the inner database, and its rarity can be seen.

The plug-ins of the inner database were surprisingly expensive. After Xu Nan paid the excess fee, the data column was updated belatedly.

[Celestial Goose/Divinity/Monk]

[? ? ? 】

Xu Nan: "..."

I paid 400,000 constant gold coins, just show me this?

Except for the three labels in the name column, the rest are a series of question marks? There is no level or basic introduction!

"What the hell is a Celestial Goose?"

"I've heard of celestial bears, celestial foxes, etc., but I don't have any such creatures as celestial geese in my impression!"

"The occupation is actually a monk?"

After complaining for a while, Xu Nan's heart suddenly moved.

He remembered the lotus imprint, and sure enough, he groped for a while on the Celestial Goose, and found a similar imprint on the feathers of its tail.

It just looks older!

This goose is actually related to the lotus monk?

It seems that it is necessary to ask the senior if he knows the relevant information about the Celestial Goose.

Although this result did not satisfy Xu Nan, it also buffered his frustration.

At least, the Paradise Lost system clearly gave the template of the divine creature and the profession of the monk, and this Celestial Goose should not be much worse.

So City Lord Xu saw that the posture and appearance of the big goose with its head held high seemed to have become a little more delicate.

...

The next day, Xu Nan received a formal reply from Evelyn.

Bingfengling is willing to cooperate with Wildfire City on the right to mint coins, but it is not convenient to discuss the specific content in letters. Evelyn invited Xu Nan to go to Bingfengling for a talk. As for the date, according to Evelyn, it is possible at any time. After all, the Ice Wind Territory at this time is just as Xu Nan expected, and it has completely entered winter ahead of the entire Northern Continent. Even the demons no longer invade, and the entire territory is silent. Her Royal Highness is very bored.

After Xu Nan thought about it, it would be better to hit the sun at the right time, and picked a gray tower administrator, directly opened the unstable portal, and headed to the ice wind collar.

Crash!

Accompanied by the sound of the cold and ruthless blizzard, Xu Nan just opened his eyes when he found that a lot of snowflakes had accumulated on his eyebrows.

He subconsciously covered his body, but the gray tower administrators around him didn't show any abnormal reactions, and even showed a comfortable look—their bodies were especially adapted to the severe cold weather after being transformed into semi-dead.

After Xu Nan blessed herself with two antifreeze spells, she began to look around at the surrounding scenery.

Although it belongs to the teleportation within the Northern Continent, the unstable teleportation gate still has some deviations.

The surrounding white scenery almost made Xu Nan lose his way. Fortunately, he is not a mortal. He quickly used the magic magnet he carried with him to identify his position, and then simply passed a small positioning spell to determine his approximate position. .

"The error is not very far, about two kilometers."

"This is near the ancient forest in the south of the Icewind Fortress. After years of reclamation, these trees have always been difficult to recover."

"Let's find out if there is a frozen lake nearby, and then just walk north along a frozen riverbed near the lake."

After referring to the map, Xu Nan immediately embarked on the journey with the administrator of the Gray Tower.

He didn't use the magic carpet because in such a ghostly place, the attributes of road idiots are easy to magnify, and it is common to accidentally fly over the head-if you fly to a place where demons are raging, it will hurt your egg, after all, he still has Not Romans.

Soon, he found the Itai Lake on the map given by Evelyn, and smoothly followed the shallow traces of the river bed, heading north.

Not long after, he vaguely saw some houses, and there should be some aborigines from Bingfeng collar living in them.

Not far away, a cold fortress suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

In this place that seems to be the end of the world, it is indeed a shocking thing to have such a not-so-majestic but very tenacious fortress lying across it silently.

Xu Nan couldn't help speeding up his pace.

But soon, he suddenly noticed a line of footprints in the snow.

This line of footprints appeared out of thin air, and then spread to the forest west of the fortress.

Xu Nan felt a little strange, so he opened the superspiritual vision and took a look there.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a somewhat familiar figure wandering around the edge of the forest for a while, and then disappeared.

He didn't think much, and hurried past.

After a while.

In the forest, at the end of the footprints is a wooden house almost surrounded by snow.

In the fireplace of the wooden house, a raging fire was burning.

A rosy-cheeked girl was holding a large wooden wine glass to warm herself up.

"Tell me about the information you found."

Near the fireplace, a handsome young man with slender pupils casually brushed his hair.

"If the information is not satisfactory to me, I will suspend this cooperation."

"Even if you are a partner personally appointed by the organization."

His tone was a little arrogant, as if he didn't pay attention to the girl at all.

However, the girl didn't care.

She held the huge wine glass and took a sip, showing a satisfied expression.

Although the young man pretended not to care, his eyes remained focused on her, watching her take a sip of the wine, and then... another sip.

The girl just repeated similar actions, as if she had no intention of opening her mouth at all.

A trace of anger flashed in the youth's vertical pupils.

"Mr. Elliott."

Seeing that the young man was about to lose his temper, the girl suddenly put down the wine glass she had been holding for a long time, and replied in a pleasant voice:

"If I can really find clues to [Xiaocheng Song], the mission of Huiluan Temple, will you let me do it?"

Elliot frowned, but finally nodded and said, "Although I'm not an honest person, there's no need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

"After all, you and I are also members of the organization, hehe, although I doubt how you joined the Ninth Manor."

"But I respect this powerful and long-standing organization, and this is the only reason why I will allow your existence for the time being."

The girl shrugged: "Then I'll just say—"

"I can tell you with certainty that Xiaocheng Song is not Princess Evelyn's person at all!"

Elliott didn't seem surprised. He showed an expression of all ears.

"Looks like you've done some research yourself."

The girl flicked her hair, and then took out a stack of things, including envelopes and other evidence: "I successfully sneaked into the fortress, and I just applied for a maid in the lord's mansion. Most of the servants don't even know the existence of Xiaocheng Song."

"We are inclined to believe that the clues given by the manor are fundamentally wrong—at least, they were misled."

"The origin of Xiaocheng Song is very strange. To be honest, the name itself is very strange, don't you think?"

Elliot nodded. He flipped through the things the girl had stolen, checking the authenticity of the evidence.

"It is difficult for the Ice Wind Leader to find other clues. Apart from Her Highness Evelyn, I am afraid that not many people can reveal the news about Xiaocheng Song."

"But it's hard for us to get close to Evelyn, for reasons you can understand."

The girl Tan Tanshou: "So I am more inclined to give up this task and change it to a more realistic one."

Eliot raised his eyebrows irresistibly, and finally said slowly:

"Evelyn knows Xiaocheng Song. This is an opportunity."

"There is no doubt about it. There is at least a certain connection between them." The girl thought for a while and said seriously.

"Then we'll go find Evelyn."

Elliott said decisively: "If you feel that getting close to Evelyn will increase the risk factor of this mission, you can withdraw."

"I will transfer the task of Huiluan Temple to you now."

The girl was a little stunned, and immediately laughed dryly:

"Mr. Elliott, you are really persistent."

"I suddenly look forward to working with you."

"Before midnight today, I will return to Princess Evelyn. If you need my help, I will be happy."

Eliot showed a confident smile, nodded proudly and said:

"Thank you, Miss Happy."

...
