Shameless Warlock

late at night.

Stephen Sang's private house in the windmill area, outside a detached villa.

A man in a windbreaker was walking on a cobblestone path. He calmly crossed a high fence. The magic alarm flashed but didn't sound.

The man's right index finger was pressed against his lips, as if there was some magic in this movement, and he walked across the courtyard full of traps and alarms without causing any movement.

Passing through the entrance, he seemed to have let down his vigilance and moved his index finger away from his lips.

He entered the hall, and then skillfully walked around to the second floor, just about to push open the door of the study, but when he put his hand on the doorknob, he seemed to feel something and turned around suddenly.

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, stood an old man in a suit.

A soft bell rang, and then the dim light dimmed.

"Master, you climbed over your own wall again..." The old man looked at the footprints on the lawn outside the window, showing a helpless expression:

"That's not how the field of silence works."

The man said calmly: "I learned it a long time ago, no matter what skill you have, you have to learn it and use it."

Having said that, he suddenly hesitated:

"Are they asleep?"

The old man nodded: "The madam and the two young ladies have already fallen asleep. During dinner tonight, the madam asked me to tidy up the study..."

The man sighed: "I know, I know... I have to sleep in the study when I come back late, am I not very self-conscious?"

"No." The old man said seriously: "Today Madam is angry, you are not even allowed to sleep in the study."

"She made me fill my study with prickly pears."

The man was stunned: "Then where do I sleep?"

The old man coughed: "The stables? This is Madam's meaning. Of course, you can ignore it, at least I can understand that you are indeed busy with work."

The man rubbed his temples nervously:

"So, the reason why you stayed up so late waiting for me to go home is to tell me the news?"

The old man shook his head: "Not really."

He handed an exquisite invitation letter into the man's hand.

The man froze for a moment, opened it and looked, his expression became more subtle.

"Tomorrow's breakfast time, it seems that you are busy."

The old man's tone was calm, but somewhat gloating.

"Damn, how can there be such a stubborn person?"

The man waved the invitation letter in his hand a little excitedly: "Isn't the rejection in my reply not obvious enough?"

"Or, this warlock is illiterate?"

The old man thought for a while: "I don't think so, sir."

"Let's think about it from another angle. If the guest reads your refusal, but still insists on visiting, it means that he has something very important, at least to him."

"That's why I said, you are busy at breakfast time tomorrow."

The man nodded thoughtfully.

"So, is breakfast the same as before?" the old man asked.

The man shook his head reluctantly and said:

"Give him one too."

"I seem to have some impression of this warlock. It seems to be someone from the negotiation team last time. It is said that he has some relationship with the big man in Paradise Lost."

Having said that, he couldn't help but yawned, hesitated for a while, but still didn't open the door of the study.

He was going to run to the rooftop to spend the night.

Although he is known as "the irritable Akai", his status in the family is very humble, and his wife and two wives are existences that he can't afford. In order to calm his wife's anger over the past few days, he could only do this.

It's just that when he just stepped up the stairs, the old man who was the butler didn't leave, he was still standing there.

"Is there anything else?" Akai was a little puzzled.

"No more, master." The old man sighed softly: "I just want to remind you that there are some things that haste makes waste."

"I understand what you want to make up for, but don't let this affect your mood."

"The state of mind of a demon hunter is the most important."

There was a glint of haze in Akai's eyes.

He nodded, no longer hesitated, turned and went upstairs.

Tonight, another night where it was difficult to fall asleep.

...

at the same time. The second floor of the Rapunzel Inn.

Xu Nan has not fallen asleep, but the little tomcat transformed by Xie Yutong has already fallen asleep naively on the sofa.

He sat by the window and waited patiently.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the window, and with a creak, there was no sound.

"I remember that private casting of spells is prohibited in Stephen Sang's public area."

Xu Nan opened his mouth coldly.

A small head suddenly emerged from the window.

"I have a license to cast spells."

The other party said stubbornly.

Standing by the window, Xu Nan glanced down and saw a pale yellow magic carpet shaking in a regular wave form.

"Like you have an expired airship license?"

He couldn't help but tease.

The other party was furious: "Do you still want that thing?!"

Xu Nan coughed: "Yes."

"This matter is very important, thank you for willing to go out to help me in the middle of the night..."

His words were interrupted impatiently by Emma:

"Okay, don't be hypocritical, the things are here, and you can see the specific records yourself."

Her eyes became slightly sharper: "If I find out that the things here are used by you to do evil... Humph!"

Xu Nan took a file record, and he glanced at it with a grateful smile.

Jiang Yuan was not in the city for a long time, and it was troublesome for him to get some official information about Stephen Sang. He had a good friendship with Roger, but it hadn't reached this point yet.

In fact, it was his last choice to seek help from Emma. He basically didn't expect much. He didn't expect Emma to be so diligent and collect information for him overnight, which was surprisingly efficient.

Xu Nan opened the file bag and quickly looked up the information he wanted. It didn't take long for him to show a relieved expression.

Sure enough, it was almost the same as I guessed.

His eyes narrowed.

"It seems that someone is going to be unlucky." Emma leaned against the window and stretched, and then knocked on the window door with some dissatisfaction: "Won't you invite me in for a sit down?"

Xu Nan was stunned: "Is this necessary?"

Emma said violently: "Of course it is necessary!"

"Why do you think I want to help you do things?"

After all, she squeezed in through the window involuntarily.

Emma's petite figure is naturally not difficult, and judging from her proficient skills, it is obviously not the first time.

The movement of her climbing the window was not small, the poor little cat was awakened, and looked at Emma with some trepidation.

Xu Nan gestured for silence, Xie Yutong quickly jumped onto the bed and hid in the corner of the wall.

Emma didn't care.

She pulled up the chair and sat down familiarly, pondering:

"I have something to ask of you."

Xu Nan shook her eyebrows, sure enough, Emma won't help her in vain...

He asked: "As long as it has nothing to do with Senior Jiang, I can discuss it."

Xu Nan already knew what Emma was thinking about Jiang Yuanchi; but Jiang Yuanchi seldom mentioned Emma in front of Xu Nan, which made Xu Nan's imagination run wild. But no matter what, this woman actually wants to abduct her chief mage all day long, this is unforgivable!

It's just that he still needs Emma's help now, so he has to be more correct, at least he can't refuse so directly.

"It has nothing to do with ginger."

Emma said calmly: "I want to join your city, and I can give you any official title."

Xu Nan frowned.

You take me for a fool!

Emma, ​​one of the six apostles of Stephen Sang, who is busy like a ghost all day, suddenly ran over and said that she would join her city... Isn't her sinister intentions obvious.

To put it bluntly, it was because of Jiang Yuanchi, right?

Xu Nan thought about it, but she didn't feel so conflicted in her heart. He is considering pros and cons.

As a big city that is destined to shock the universe in the future, the unknown city must have more masters. At present, the high-end force in the unknown city is very embarrassing, only Xu Nan and Jiang Yuanchi can barely be called strong.

In fact, Xu Nan, a strong man, has to be discounted.

If a war breaks out, even if he is fully prepared in other aspects, but lacks in high-end force, he will still suffer a lot.

Pulling Emma into the Unknown City is beneficial at first glance, at least the Unknown City has another fourth-order mage.

As for her bad thoughts.

Well, as long as you keep an eye on her in the future and don't let her abduct Jiang Yuanchi away.

Thinking of this, Xu Nan readily agreed:

"no problem."

"I'll arrange it for you when I get back."

Emma is a little depressed:

"Huh? Don't you ask me why? I have prepared a lot of excuses."

Xu Nan shook her head: "We are a small city like Unknown City, and now all kinds of talents are very welcome to settle in."

"As long as you don't think our place is backward and dangerous."

Emma stared: "Isn't your place an underground miner's city? Where does the crisis come from?"

Xu Nan smiled without saying a word.

Emma didn't care, and just ignored Xu Nan's advice.

In this way, Emma's joining the Unknown City was settled.

It seems that she never expected things to be so simple, and Emma was a little confused.

She sat there for a while, but Xu Nan ignored her and just kept reading the file.

"I heard that you are going to visit Akai recently?"

She couldn't help asking.

Xu Nan glanced at her a little unexpectedly: "The news is very well-informed."

Roger was never a talkative person, and he was a little surprised how the news got out.

"There is nothing unclear about Stephen Sand."

Emma proudly lifts her off work, uttering one of Stephen Sand's famous adages.

"That person is not easy to get along with. Why are you looking for him? Is it related to this file?"

Xu Nan looked at her with some amusement: "Why do you suddenly care about me? Have you been busy recently? I heard that the law enforcement team is very busy..."

"That's the law enforcement team, not me." Emma pouted: "I'm really free recently, otherwise why would I want to go to your city?"

Xu Nan was even more surprised.

Jiang Yuanchi was transferred to the law enforcement team to help out, why can you be idle?

"Why don't you write me a letter of recommendation, and I'll go to your city first..." she said suddenly.

Xu Nan rolled his eyes: "Okay."

He is not afraid of Emma's sabotage. Although this woman is sometimes unreliable, she is not a brainless person.

At this moment, he also saw that something was coming, so without further ado, he wrote a letter to Liuhuo and the city hall, appointing Emma as an "Environmental Sanitation Protection Officer" is a false post anyway, and at the same time asked everyone to respect That's it.

Emma took the recommendation letter and seemed to be relieved. She stood up and paced back and forth in the room, as if she wanted to thank Xu Nan, but was too embarrassed to speak. Fortunately, Xu Nan was quite savvy. He suddenly closed the file and yawned.

"I am a little sleepy……"

"Are you going to stay and sleep?" he asked.

"How could I stay and sleep!"

Emma took the recommendation letter and left angrily. Before leaving, she hesitated and said thank you by the window.

Xu Nan closed the window with a smile on his face:

"The six apostles are all busy, Jiang Yuanchi was transferred to the law enforcement team, Akai is tracking Helena's whereabouts, but Emma is idle for no reason... It's interesting."

But what he is most concerned about at the moment is not these, but some of the contents recorded in the file bag on the table.

Really interesting.

...

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Nan went to visit Akai's house early in the morning, for fear that this guy would eat breakfast too fast.

Fortunately, although Akai is weird, he still has basic etiquette.

Under the reception of the butler, Xu Nan walked through the courtyard of the front hall and arrived at the dining room.

According to the housekeeper, Akai's wife and two daughters are still sleeping at the moment, so it is Akai's rare free time during the day.

Generally speaking, Akai will cherish this time of eating alone very much.

Xu Nan's arrival today obviously broke all this.

What surprised Xu Nan was that, judging from the structure of the house and Akai's status, this guy must be a rich man.

But the breakfast on the table was shabby and scary, only bread and milk.

Not even a sausage and an egg...

When Xu Nan took his seat, Akai was tearing a piece of bread. Judging from his movements, he was obviously quite skilled.

Akai looked at Xu Nan: "Every morning, I eat for about five minutes."

"It might be even faster today."

Xu Nan smiled: "It won't take five minutes."

"Actually, I came to you today to report a person."

"He's a member of the Law Enforcement Team, Thomas!"

"This man has a problem, and a big problem!"

Akai was a little surprised, and immediately frowned, showing a little disgust:

"If you have any complaints about Thomas, you can write to the inspection team, and I can give you their address or contact information..."

"No, no, no!" Xu Nan said seriously, "That's why I came to visit in person."

"You should know that Mr. Thomas has been in charge of tracking down the attacker in the back of the head for two weeks, but so far there has been no progress..."

"enough!"

A Kai interrupted: "I can't allow you to slander an excellent law enforcement team member in front of me."

"Tracking down cases is not alchemy. How can there be 100% results?"

"I think I understand your reason for coming, now, please leave and don't hinder my meal."

Xu Nan frowned, and decided to scale up the move directly:

"He took my money!"

Akai's eating action stagnated.

His expression gradually became serious:

"really?"

...
