Lady Moriel, the tower owner with long silver-white hair, is rigid and paranoid, and is easily provoked and ridiculed when she is working, as if she is a standard scholar, but in fact, her identity determines that she can never be just a simple scholar.

Therefore, Raymond, who put on a rogue posture, poked her soft underbelly, so that the tower owner, Lady Moriel, had to tell what she knew.

Annoyance and helplessness made the tower owner, Ms. Moriel, look like her eyes were on fire all the time. "Lord Raymond, the old woman will tell you everything, as long as you leave this room, the old woman will not admit anything!"

"Thank you for the information, I hope that when I return to the Scholar's Tower, I will see that there has been a breakthrough in the research of this puppet!"

However, Raymond's sincere attitude made the tower owner, Lady Moriel, more and more suspicious, but Raymond, who already knew the reason, left her laboratory and returned to the ground floor hall of the Scholar's Tower.

Haines, the city lord's lieutenant who had been asked to stay here and wait, greeted him as soon as he saw Raymond, bowed and prepared to speak.

But Raymond had already pointed to the scarlet wizard's robe with a gold rim. "If you don't wear this wizard's robe, how many people in Darkwing City know you?"

With his legs together and his body straightened in an instant, Haynes looked serious as if he were in the army saluting again. "Lord Huiqi, except for the members of the Red Owl Detachment outside the Scholar Tower, there will be no more than thirty people in the entire Darkwing City who know me!"

"Thirty, that's not a lot......"

Raymond frowned as he circled Haynes and discovered a new problem.

Haynes is a wizard of third-level strength. Although the body shape is still standard, it has very obvious characteristics, his shoulders are extremely wide and not at all ordinary people can achieve, obviously those who have a heart can recognize him by this characteristic, so after returning to him, Raymond asked. "Do you have any other styles of wizarding robes?"

"Returning to my lord, no!"

Simply and decisively the answer was not thought about at all, which made Raymond speechless, but as soon as his mind moved, an ordinary wizard's robe appeared in his hand, and a black cloak that could cover his body.

After giving it to Haynes, he was told to change his wizarding robes, but before Raymond was ready to take him away, he felt a little unsafe. So he looked for it in the storage ring and took out a silver-white mask and explained. "Put this on your face, and after leaving the Scholar's Tower, you are absolutely not allowed to speak without my permission!"

Haynes, who took the silver-white mask and put it on, quickly opened his mouth with a loud urn. "Lord Raymond, why does this mask stink so much?"

Raymond, who smacked his lips, had a strange expression. Naturally, he wouldn't tell Haynes that it was the mask the puppets were wearing, but after making sure that no one would recognize him that way. Raymond immediately took him out of the Scholar's Tower. Quickly came to the Exxon family mansion in the northern part of the Darkwing City.

The mansion covers a huge area, and the courtyard wall on the north side is a whole section of the city wall of the Dark Wing City, and the soldiers stationed on the city wall are also wearing armor with the family emblem of the Exxon family, and the defensive facilities on the outer wall of the mansion, although they seem to be hidden, but they are undisguised to show the power of their family.

Raymond, who did not enter the mansion directly, took Haynes around the periphery of this large and extremely powerful mansion. Because he didn't know much about the Exxon family, who had such a mansion in Darkwing, he asked why.

Before Raymond came here, Haynes was dizzy from the rancid stench of the silver mask he was wearing, but when he saw that the place where Raymond came from was actually the Exxon family mansion. But he was frightened into a cold sweat, and the question that followed Raymond made him extremely shocked.

Haynes, who came here after the city lord Wensley retired from the karst defense line, although he served as the commander of the Red Owl detachment and did not show up much to handle some affairs for the city lord Wensley, he was quite familiar with the information of these local families.

So even though he was shocked by Raymond's target, Haynes, who had already been given an order by the city lord Wensley, had to fully carry out Raymond's order, but he still hesitated before starting the introduction.

The Exxon family, who came here from the surface world, suffered heavy casualties in the early days of the construction of the Darkwing City in order to resist the attacks of demonic beasts in the underground plane, so in recognition of their family's outstanding contribution to the construction of the Darkwing City, when the Darkwing City was stabilized, they were granted the privilege of building a family mansion in the area of the city of their choice.

In the following hundreds of years, the Exxon family, which originally had a pharmacist heritage, became the family selected by the War Zone Council to be able to refine war potions because of its research results in potion refining, and since then it has established its status as a top apothecary family in the Darkwing City.

And then because the successive city lords have been extremely dependent on and respected the Exxon family, and the Exxon family is also constantly developing and growing, so this mansion has continued to expand outward, until the backyard wall of the mansion is only a few dozen meters away from the city wall, so the city lord two hundred years ago simply assigned the north of the mansion to his management.

Even if there is no gate on this section of the wall, its reverence is not trivial, so the Exxon family has officially entered its heyday, and now it has a certain say in the theater council, which is quite impressive.

Hearing this, Raymond compared it with the information he had obtained from Zachary before, but Haynes's attitude when introducing the situation caught his attention, and after thinking for a moment, he deliberately asked. "Suppose I ask you to lead the Red Owl detachment to storm this mansion, how long do you think it will take to completely occupy it?"

The sudden question made Haynes gasp, but Raymond, who had a serious expression, looked directly into his eyes, thinking of the order of the city lord Wensley before he came, and Haines, who sighed, replied helplessly. "If I am given three days to prepare, if I want to rely on the combat strength of the Red Owl detachment to reach the level of capture, it is estimated that it will take half a month, and it may end up with moderate battle damage......

Raymond, who had never considered such a situation before, was intrigued, and after thinking about it, he asked. "Then if the Red Owl detachment is transferred now, and you want to capture this mansion within an hourglass hour, what extent will the battle damage reach?"

"Under such conditions, it is absolutely impossible to capture this mansion! The final result can only be the total destruction of the Red Owl detachment, at most they can attack the front yard of the Exxon family mansion!"

The stunned Haynes gave the answer after a while, but it surprised Raymond, and he understood it after careful questioning.

The mansion in front of me already has various defensive measures from the outside, but in fact, the strength of the defense inside is quite high.

And because this mansion needs to bear the defense of a section of the city wall, there must be a defensive talisman array and an attack talisman array equivalent to the city defense level inside, so according to Haines's judgment, if the Red Owl detachment can't carry equipment to carry out the siege, then such a result is doomed.

"Lord Raymond, you don't really give the order to capture the Exxon family's mansion, do you?"

After asking, Haynes carefully observed Raymond, and when he saw that he had no possibility of answering, he added honestly. "Although I will definitely carry it out, I will react immediately regardless of whether or not the War Zone Council can be completed, because it is said that there is a teleportation array leading directly to the War Zone Council in the Exxon Family Mansion, but it has not been confirmed for so many years......

Raymond, who heard the uneasiness and panic in Haines's tone, said to him with a smile. "Don't be so frightened, I'm here today to visit an old friend......" (To be continued......
