"Who was that red-robed mage you were talking to just now?"

There were no accidents in the concession, and the three of Penny came out with a large bag full of small bags, and Penny immediately asked questions of interest to him.

The strength of that red-robed mage should not be underestimated, and he must be an important person in the stronghold.

"He's, he's Lord Elwin Romnik, the man in charge of trade here. Rand replied, "My lord, several valuable materials used in the manufacturing hub need to pass through his hands before they can be sold. ”

"Oh......" Penny nodded abruptly, secretly thinking about how he could take advantage of this.

He gradually came to the idea that such a trading base was best in his own hands, and even if he couldn't do this, he should intervene in it.

It would be great if such an important person could be controlled.

"Is this man famous?" asked Penny further.

"Of course, sir. Naturally, the head apprentice didn't know that this adult was hovering in his stomach thinking about a large number of conspiracies, but he obediently said all the facts he knew: "He has communicated with the bigwigs of various forces in Ximen Port, except for some decent guys, he is a guest of honor in almost all families and organizations, you know, he was still discussing with the Dimarari family about port logistics last month." ”

Penny nodded abruptly, waved his hand and sent the apprentice leader back to the Mage Tower with the supplies, and then turned his gaze to Lannie Lou, who still looked annoyed.

"Still angry?"

"Listen. She took a deep breath and glared angrily at the wizard's face, "Don't use me as a cover shield next time. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry. Unexpectedly, his actions could cause such a huge anger on this woman, and the wizard reluctantly apologized: "I didn't expect you to care so much." ”

"I don't like to be used as a tool, especially a man's tool......" The heaving of her chest calmed slightly, but there was still anger in her tone, "No one can force me to do things I don't like, including you." ”

The mage's heart skipped a slight beat, and he stared sideways into her cheek.

"What are you looking at?" she turned her head alertly.

"So, what you've been doing during this period of time is what you're willing to do?" Penny's eyelids jumped strangely, as if a little surprised.

Her face turned red for a moment, and she immediately lowered her head to look at the ground, her chest rose and fell more violently, the fingers of her hands hooked together, and the wizard was even more stunned, this was the first time he had seen this woman make a shy girl of this normal age.

But soon the image was gone, and her eyes changed to the same arrogant and angry look again, but she didn't say a word, but bit her lip and stared into the wizard's eyes, as if she wanted to eat him.

As angry as the last layer of covering cloth had been torn off.

The mage shrugged, ignoring her cannibalistic gaze, reached out to grasp her cold palm, and continued down the road towards Ximen City.

"Nasty guy. The Black Knight's whisper entered the wizard's ears, causing his heart to beat slightly.

"Hey, where are we going?" asked Lanelou after a while, seeing that she was already on the street in the middle of Simon City, a little confused.

"In the market area, Neffie and you need some clothes and supplies, I don't think you will come here yourself, and you will not have the apprentice buy those things for you......"

"You really have a heart. She smiled sarcastically, "That little girl told me that she would climb into your bed when she grows up." ”

"Uh......" Penny's expression suddenly became embarrassed, "She doesn't seem to be old enough to think about that kind of thing." ”

"What about when you arrive, our wizard-sama?, will you refuse her, but she has faithfully accompanied you from Searle to exile here, and has almost lost her life several times...... Oh, she's only so young, and she'll be very sad if you take that attitude when that day comes. ”

Her tone was full of ridicule, but it made Penny laugh:

"You can't just make this kind of joke, you should find a way to get her to put it away. ”

"Yo~ I really can't see that our wizard is so decent. She let out a long breath, a smug smile on her face, as if she had found some advantage in this conversation: "I always thought you were a cold bastard. ”

For such an evaluation of the wizard can only respond to the expression of helplessness, Lannie laughed softly a few times, and seemed to find it very interesting, and it seems that dealing with this man with such a topic always has unexpected results.

Listening to her laughter, the mage reluctantly turned his attention away, and such a conversation really embarrassed him, because he really had a rather tasteless attitude towards this aspect, and he was not qualified to teach others a lecture.

When his gaze fell somewhere in the market, it suddenly froze.

Two familiar figures appeared in his field of vision, and when several lines of sight met, his expression immediately became unnatural.

"What's wrong with you?" Lannie pinched the wizard, wondering why he had suddenly become like a piece of wood.

Immediately, Lannie saw two beautiful women trotting through the crowd, one of whom she still knew.

Pan ...... Ms. Ferrandlin. The girl's gaze shifted from the wizard to the white-robed black warrior, and soon fell back to the hands of the two of them, and her expression suddenly became a little gray.

As Hiccol's expression changed, Penny's body stiffened.

If you meet only two acquaintances in the whole city while shopping, and they meet at the most inappropriate time, you can only say that you are unlucky.

"Ha, Shicol baby. Lanny recognized the girl, but there was a strange excitement on her face, and she let go of the mage's hand and hugged her thin body wrapped in thick clothes into her arms: "It's been a long time. ”

Hiccol didn't answer, just sniffled lightly at her chest, then raised his head slightly, and looked motionlessly at the wizard's face with a pair of watery eyes.

The mage had the intention of looking away, but those eyes seemed to carry magic, making his neck stiff and his mind blank.

Not only Hickel, but Vika behind the girl cast a slight reproach, and Lannie also stared at the wizard with both eyes, but there was a mockery in her eyes.

The gaze of the three women with different emotions made the wizard's cheeks turn red as if they were burning, and his heart was beating like a giant drumstick, eager to find a sewer mouth to jump in, and this situation lasted for a few minutes, although it was covered by Edmont's bodyguards, but it was still difficult to avoid the attention of pedestrians, and everyone could see that the three men and women were so strangely deadlocked, it looked very strange.

Vika coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Don't stand here, Pan, you actually came to this place, what do you want to buy?"

"Oh...... Haven't met this lady yet...... I don't know what you call it?" Lannie's gaze shifted to the woman, and there was a sudden wariness in her gaze.

Because this is a beauty, and a beauty who has a relationship with a wizard, with such a first impression, the envy that should have risen has become vigilance, and in addition to the vigilance in her eyes, there is also a hint of provocation.

"Call me Vika...... You're pretty, Miss Ferrandlin. ”

Hearing this strange woman's smiling compliment, Lannie's expression was no longer so tense, after all, no one was unwilling to listen to nice words, but there was still anger in her heart, and she continued with the words: "Of course, probably only the good-looking ones can attract the attention of some men." ”

When she said this, Lannie glanced at the wizard who was still blank, and then turned her gaze back: "In this way, Vika, you are not bad. ”

Vika frowned, she felt a clear irony and hostility in this sentence, she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, but they were not very familiar with each other, and her upbringing made her smile humbly, but she no longer dwelled on the subject.

"There's a nice shop in front of us, we can go and have a look. Noticing that the strange woman was wearing a white robe from her home, and that there seemed to be no proper lining under the robe, Vika moved and pointed to a shop not far away.

Penny nodded, moving his stiff legs to Vika's side.

Behind her, Hiccle broke out of Lanny's arms and walked with her head bowed, and after a short time she asked in a low voice, "Miss Ferrandlin, why are you here?"

"Oh, that's for him. Lanny glanced at Penny, "I have the same reasons for why he's here, and to put it mildly, I'm just a ride." ”

"So, you've betrayed too...... What country?" Hiccol looked up.

"If you are never loyal, how can you betray?" Lannie snorted softly, "First of all, this word is very inappropriate to use in this matter. ”

When she had finished speaking, the corners of her mouth twitched, and the mixture of fear and hatred that had been leaked fell into Hiccol's eyes, and her expression was a little confused again, and she looked at Lanny, and then at the wizard a little earlier, her expression becoming more and more gray.

Lanny noticed this, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again, and whispered in the girl's ear, "Don't be too angry, you should have known that he was a complete bastard." ”

The girl's expression fell, which undoubtedly gave her quite a bit of information, and she walked like a walking corpse, staring blankly at the back of the wizard's heart.

Listening to the discussion behind him, Penny was in a mixed mood.

To do it, you have to have the courage to accept the consequences, but now he is not sure, can he really accept the consequences?

"Pan ......" The girl's call made him twist his stiff neck and turn his head, and met the big eyes that were a little sad: "Pan, can we talk?"
