Located in the northern part of the district, the Alatan House was built by the Ronoir family twenty years ago, and it is said that at least 150,000 gold coins were spent on the materials alone. The entire building features Karinsan's most popular curved spire, creamy marble columns, and a variety of precious flowers and plants. As its name suggests, it exudes elegance.

But today, it's a bleak scene, and it smells faintly bloody. A few hours earlier, an elite army of six members of the Council had rushed in and killed people without asking for a reason, slaughtering several family members and more than forty servants in ten minutes.

Many passers-by who witnessed this scene were so frightened that they were speechless. You must know that the Council has always adhered to the principle of having something to discuss, and this is the first time in recent decades that such a fierce and bloody operation has been conducted. Many interested people began to inquire privately, and soon they got some other shocking news. For example, the Ronorr family's shops and ships docked in the harbor were all seized, and many nobles close to them were arrested. Combined with the recent incidents of private fights that have gone viral, it's easy to guess what's going on.

The Ronore family, which claimed to have 500 professional warriors, was defeated, and it was defeated very badly. The Council was clearly currying favor with the rising upstart, so there was a lot of eyeliner around the mansion to find out who was the successor to the title and land of the House of Deanis.

Suddenly, several figures appeared at the end of the street. A few guys with particularly good eyesight recognized Henry at a glance as he walked in front, after all, he had been seen in public in the morning. These people now finally know why Naria dared to openly provoke the powerful Ronore family, and why the Council directly intervened in the personal feud between the two nobles. All because of this legendary master of unfathomable strength.

Octagos was keenly aware of the gaze hidden in the corner. Immediately asked in a low voice, "Master." It seems that a lot of people are snooping on us, do you want to kill them all? ”

"Don't bother, these are spies sent by nobles and merchants, and they will naturally leave when they recognize me." As he spoke, Heng used his cloak to wrap the Queen of the Poisonous Tongue in his arms tightly to prevent the dark elves' characteristic black skin from being exposed. Viconia curled up knowingly, disguised as a weak, shy human woman.

At the gate of the courtyard house, two men stood wearing stainless steel cuirasses and pointed helmets. There is also a guard with a red feather stuck in it. According to Am's military system, ordinary soldiers had green feathers on their heads, while red feathers were only worn by officers. As soon as he saw someone approaching, one of the guys immediately stood up and shouted, "Stop, this place doesn't belong to the Ronorr family anymore." ”

"I'm the new owner of this house, and here's the proof from the council." After saying that, Henry directly handed over the title deed and house deed. After a busy day, he is now a little tired, and wants to take a shower and eat something, and then get a good night's sleep.

The officer took the two pieces of parchment with a look of surprise and examined them carefully. After confirming that it was not a forgery, he returned it with both hands.

"I'm very sorry. Delayed your time. But it's our job, so don't be surprised. ”

Henry smiled kindly. "Nothing, I can understand it. But I want to ask, there won't be any uncleaned corpses and bloodstains here, right? ”

"Uh...... Rest assured, the corpses and blood stains have been cleaned up, but there is still a little bit of a residual smell. In addition, there is not even a housekeeper or servant here, so it may be a little inconvenient to live in. Personally, I'd better hire a few mercenaries first, knowing that the night isn't very quiet right now. ”

Hearing the officer's subtle reminder, Henry immediately understood that the shadow thief's life must have been quite sad recently. He nodded slightly, and placed a small bag of gold coins in the other man's hand. "Thank you for the reminder, and this money should be considered as a reward for your devotion to your duties."

"In that case, we are ashamed. If there is nothing else to order, we will leave. With that, the two officers saluted, turned and walked in the direction of the barracks. The discipline of Am's army is not as good as that of Baldur's Gate, and taking bribes is almost the default unspoken rule.

As soon as you enter the gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a large field of neatly manicured flowers and trees, and in the center of the courtyard stands a large sculpture of a female fountain. As he walked, Henry secretly sighed to himself that the bastards of the Ronorr family would really enjoy it. If he was not mistaken, this statue must have come from a famous artist, and its value would probably not be much cheaper than a piece of magic full-body armor.

Viconia looked at her surroundings with disdain and said sarcastically, "This is where the human nobles live? It's really useless, and if it is attacked, I am afraid that it will not even play a role in a little protection. ”

"This is a city on the surface, and it doesn't have as many dangers and schemes as the dark ones. As a result, the residences of the aristocracy and merchants were more focused on comfort and beauty, and rarely considered the problem of defense. Henry explained with a smile. He had also been to the city of the Dark Elves, and had also participated in a family war.

It can be said that the drow elves have completely implemented the word practicality into their bones, and it is rare to see elaborate patterns in both armor and weapons. Needless to say, the doors of the upper nobles' houses are all pure gold, and there are many traps near the courtyard wall. The patterns carved into the gates were not ornaments either, and the slaves who were blown to minced meat had the most to say.

"Hmph, what a bunch of idiots, otherwise they wouldn't have been killed, right?" Viconia said as she stood up. As a drow elf, she will never let anyone see her weakness unless she is forced to do so.

"Stupid? Maybe. There was a hint of helplessness on Henry's face. Even the gods are stupid in this world, let alone these mortals. Merchants and nobles were just like they wanted to enjoy themselves for the rest of their lives, and then die and go to the kingdom of God to be honest prayers. Not every race can live their lives fighting for power, like the Dark Elves.

After a brief tour of the house, Henry found that there was no one but him. Even the ingredients in the kitchen are the same. It seems that there are no twenty or so servants here, and they can't function at all. But it's getting late by now. I'll have to wait until tomorrow. As the only person in the team who could cook, he had to cook himself. Half an hour later, a few generous dishes were served.

In order to feed the two dragons, Henry stewed almost every visible meat in the kitchen, and boiled several pots of mashed potatoes. The cauldron with a diameter of one meter is placed directly on the table, and the black bottom of the pot burns a large hole in the silk tablecloth that looks very precious.

Viconia, who had been hungry for days, devoured two plates of stew and a serving of mashed potatoes in a few moments. As for the two humanoid dragons, there is no image at all. At present, the only one who is still elegant is Amelia. Perhaps because of her good education, she always cut the meat with a knife unhurriedly, and never made any sound when she drank the soup.

Looking at the messy dining table, Henry couldn't help but sigh, and after wiping his mouth with a napkin, he stood up and walked directly to the second floor. Just as he stepped up the stairs, Amelia hurriedly stood up and asked in a low voice, "Master, when do you plan to receive the Ronorr family's mage tower?" ”

"I'm a little tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow. Oh yes. Remember to hire a few servants early tomorrow morning, or the place will be a garbage heap in a few days. ”

Amelia subconsciously glanced back. I saw that the contents of a few cauldrons had been eaten clean by the two dragons, and bones and plates were thrown everywhere. What had been elegant and chic an hour earlier was almost like a slum tavern, with expensive handmade carpets spilled with splashed soup.

She nodded knowingly. "Rest assured, I'll get this done early tomorrow morning."

"Get this thing done. As a bonus, I will hand over the Mage Tower to you to manage. With that, Henry touched Amelia's short black hair and walked directly to the second floor.

The girl was stunned by the sudden good news and couldn't believe it was true. You must know that every mage wants to have his own tower, but the high cost can make more than 90% of people retreat. Even the most humble mage tower would not be less than 400,000 gold coins to make, and it would require a lot of knowledge. Most mages are also extremely poor and can only work in other people's mage towers in exchange for a certain amount of energy ration for practical yàn and zuò magic items.

Amelia, who grew up in the Masked Mage Guild, knows a deep truth, that is, if you want to get something, you must give, otherwise even if you get it, you will lose it. She could feel the closeness and affection from Henry's eyes, so she gritted her teeth and walked along.

Viconia saw all this qiē in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth made a slight arc. She was now more and more curious about the team, especially Henry, who was the leader, and it was obvious that there were a lot of secrets hidden. Just look at the two guys lying asleep on the ground, there is no way for ordinary people to make a dragon bow down like this.

Through careful observation along the way, Viconia has long since discovered the true identity of Otagos and Occeth. After all, even if there were no brown dragons in the dark region, there were still a few black dragons that had been seen. She felt that Henry must have obtained some artifact or invented a special spell to control the dragon, and if she could get her hands on it, it would not be impossible to return to the Shadows to set off a storm of revenge.

The dark elf priestess's eyes gleamed with longing, and she cried out in the depths of her heart, "I swear that I will not hesitate to pay more to gain this power." But she didn't notice that a pair of flashing purple eyes and pitch-black pupils suddenly appeared on her forehead, and disappeared after only a few seconds.
