155 Change of ownership
When the inhabitants of the port came out of their homes trembling, they learned that they had changed masters, and they did not feel too uncomfortable, and in their eyes, changing a red-robed mage as a ruler was no different from before.
And what they learned was exactly as the apprentice Tangasa had speculated: the pirates had killed their old consul, and the new provisional consul led his men to drive the pirates away.
Of course, the townspeople with closed information channels would not know that at the same time as this happened, the cronies of the former consul Antrenz were arrested by the new consul Sean, and either killed them outright, or secretly imprisoned and imprisoned, tortured some information about Antrenz, such as treasures, magical items, or many other kinds of secrets.
While these methods are not humanitarian, they are very much in line with Searle's rules, and Penny wisely chooses to obey them.
So by the time Archmage Nosnoah arrived, the town had largely calmed down.
"Master, I sincerely welcome you. ”
Dressed in a set of ceremonial robes, it was now the temporary consul Penny Sean, who now welcomed Archmage Nosnoah in the harbor, who arranged a ceremony in a brief time, with the honor guards lined up neatly on both sides of the road, their polished armor shiny and magnificent.
The arrival of the archmage gave Penny a sense of opportunity.
If he can get the approval of this archmage, maybe he can gain a stronger foothold here.
Therefore, he did not dare to slack off.
Seeing Nosnoah's smile, Penny sensed that the archmage should be in a good mood.
The archmage looked young on the outside, with no phosphorus fire in his eyes, and seemed to have used other ways to prolong his life, his gaze roaming back and forth between the harbor and the harbor, and the smile on his face was very interesting.
"Archon Thean?" he asked in an uncertain tone, his smile even more pronounced as he looked at the young red robe in front of him, "How do I remember that the Archon here is named Dimiit Antrentz, a half-old man. ”
"My lord, he died in the line of duty. Penny said solemnly.
"When did you die in the line of duty?"
Through the archmage's expression, Penny could be completely sure that the other party was knowingly asking, and he frowned secretly, knowing that it might not be so easy to perfunctory the past.
However, he did not panic, because since the archmage was willing to discuss with him, then he must have a plan, and Penny began to think about what the master wanted.
"Teacher, the pirate attack has just ended about half an hour. Beside the archmage, apprentice Tangasa coughed and interjected.
As soon as this sentence, which was full of ridicule, came out, Nosnoah's smile suddenly increased a little ridicule and teasing. The atmosphere became very strange.
Penny was embarrassed, and the words almost made him want to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Nosnoah laughed hesitantly, to be honest, through some channels, he had already heard the name of the junior mage in front of him, and he also knew the deeds of this junior, but he didn't expect that he had just arrived here on a business trip and caught up with such a good show.
The audacity of this junior gave rise to some interest in his heart, and he didn't take Dimeter Antrence seriously - how could an archmage like him turn the interests of a family against each other and fail to care about the life and death of the Ring Master who was interested in him?
Deliberately adopting this attitude to conduct a conversation, just to see how this junior responds.
If this junior's answer fails to show the wit and acumen that a mage should have, let alone come up with a reasonable reason to win his support, it will naturally make the archmage very disappointed.
"Ah, it turns out that Antlonz has just been killed for half an hour. You're just in time. He smiled and looked at Penny, who had an embarrassed expression. ...,
"Your Excellency. Penny's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of a solution that was not a solution: "Lord Antrentz's relics still need a high-level mage to preside over the sorting out, I'm afraid I can't handle this matter, I don't know if you ...... it."
Even the most humble mage tower costs tens of thousands of gold coins, some precious materials, and even priceless treasures, and there are many traps in it, and Penny weighs himself and feels that he can't grasp it with certainty.
If you can exchange this thing for the recognition and support of an archmage, it is also a very worthwhile thing.
"Oh?" Nosnoah raised his eyebrows and smiled even brighter, "Okay, a relic of the Ring Mentor really needs to be sorted out, maybe a batch of new supplies can be made for the apprentices of the Mage Society." I'm going to stay here for a long time, and there's no need to build a new mage tower. ”
Penny secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart path bribery was indeed a magic skill to pass the multiverse.
"Good job. Nosnoah smiled and nodded at Penny, "I like you, young man." ”
The two cunning fellows made an improvised agreement, and said something out of tune, and the archmage walked into the harbor, for which such a trifle was not worth mentioning, and there was much more to keep him busy, and there was no need to waste too much time on it.
Whoever becomes the ruler of this place is the archmage of Serre.
It's just that this young junior made him a little interested, otherwise, he wouldn't even look at him more.
"Congratulations, Mr. Sean. The archmage gradually walked away, and the assistant lady of the senior ring mentor quietly leaned over: "It seems that this archmage has approved of you." ”
"Perhaps. Penny shrugged his shoulders and turned to the charming woman, "I don't know what's going on with you?"
"Oh, I'm so lucky to see your wonderful performance, and I guess it will be remembered for a long time. Garina smiled, looking at the young mage's eyes full of appreciation, "But that person is still waiting for my reply, so I thought it was time to say goodbye." ”
"Then I wish you a good trip. Pennevey smiled.
"Goodbye. The woman who had observed Penny's treachery, fierceness, and courage up close for the past two days suddenly kissed the mage's face, and then walked away as the middle-aged mage sorcerer behind Penny frowned.
"She's unreliable. There was a pause in silence, and James behind Penny suddenly spoke.
Penny nodded, "Yes, teacher, I know. ”
"It's not just that she's unreliable, it's the guy behind her who is unreliable either. "You can share the benefits with Luxendier, but don't expect him to help you when you're in a difficult situation. ”
Penny smiled, noncommittal.
It's not that he doesn't agree, it's that he thinks that most red-robed mages seem to be like this.
"That's all I have to say. Zhan Huashi nodded, and sighed again: "I will stay here in the near future." ”
"You're not going back to Eltabor?" Penny frowned.
"Someone has already started to act. The mentor said lightly, Penny glanced at him, and suddenly noticed that the tutor's gaze was fixed on the place where the archmage Nosnoah had disappeared, and his heart was shocked: "This master is here for that thing?"
"Maybe, maybe not. Zhan Huashi frowned: "But this archmage is a little weird. ”
"Weird?" Penny was stunned.
"The apprentice who had just spoken beside him. Zhan Huashi said slowly: "At least half a month ago, in the materials of the trial court, there was no record that there was such a student in Northnoah. ”
What a strange thing to do, Penny was speechless. ...,
It's also worth making a fuss about a high-level red-robed mage accepting a student?
"Anyway, I don't think it's that simple......" Zhan Huashi shook his head, "That apprentice is weird all over. ”
Penny gradually frowned, remembering that the apprentice with a hippie smile just now seemed to be a little too presumptuous when the official red-robed mage spoke.
Even when he speaks, there is a bit of unscrupulousness.
Ordinary red-robed apprentices, if they can't be cautious, I'm afraid it will be difficult to live until the day of the official promotion.
"You have to be careful. "After today's events spread, you will be in a dangerous state for a long time, and the family and the court will give you some support, but you should also be careful not to put yourself in a dangerous position. ”
Penny nodded solemnly.
"But we can also know who is standing behind here. Zhan Huashi sighed: "The following matters, you can find a way to deal with the bandits in the mountains." ”
Penny was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
This group of bandits seems to have a deep relationship with Antlonz, and if the Inquisition wants to get information, the breakthrough is probably on them.
Then from now on, he has to prepare well.
"Well, I'm leaving, Lanny. Garina said goodbye to Penny Sean and walked to a corner on the edge of the harbor, where a female warrior in a black robe stood quietly, staring at the red-robed mage in the harbor with her eyes motionless, Garina smiled lazily and hugged her neck: "Hmm, won't you go with me?"
Lanew shook her head.
"It's sad. Although the rhetorical question by shaking her head logically meant yes, Garina knew that Lannilou's shaking of her head did not mean that, because her eyes never left the dock, so she frowned and made a very hurt look: "Well, what kind of grudge do you have with him?"
She was curious again.
Without receiving an answer, Garina was not discouraged, changed her angle, and asked tentatively, "Like him?"
Lanew shook her head quickly.
"So...... Disgusting?"
Lanny ** shook her head, then stunned for a moment, and after her expression changed complicatedly, she looked at Jia Rena with dissatisfied eyes: "I don't like this kind of question. ”
She said in a protesting tone.
"Incomplete disgust is mixed with other emotions and reactions. Garina laughed, "You're so funny......"
Lanew snorted and turned her head away.
"Well, but I have to warn you...... Calm, intelligent, enthusiastic and measured. Jia Ruina's expression became serious: "This person is ten times more dangerous than other red-robed mages. ”
She waited for a moment, only to receive silence as an answer, sighed, and walked away from the harbor...... ,
