During the assassination at the opera house, Vica, the hostess of the Edmont family, was seriously wounded, and the news spread, and those who received the news deduced from the results that the reason was, of course, that Ms. Vika had been assassinated by assassins, and who would have thought that the real object of the vampire assassination would be Penny next to Vika?

This wizard's interests in Ximen City are not entangled, with the wizard group is already above the ordinary society, ordinary people will not care about them, compared to Penny, Vika's status in Ximen City is obviously much more weighty, and the interests involved are greater, and it is possible to be assassinated for some reasons.

Who's going to set their sights on Penny?

On the night of the incident, how many of those scratching viewers saw that the target of the female vampire's sword was Penny and not Vika?

At least the wizard didn't believe that the poor worms, exhausted by the swarm and shadow attacks, would notice this.

Then Claude's questioning of the wizard who came to visit him as soon as possible after the incident is worth pursuing.

He said, 'You were the one who caused Vika', which undoubtedly revealed an important piece of information - Claude knew who the Assassin was really trying to assassinate.

But he was not at the scene, and even if he was at the scene, there was only a very low probability that the surname would notice this, and the more likely surname was that he knew the truth of the matter.

This possible surname made the wizard frown, and he told Sheckel and Augen's steward to keep an eye on Vika, and he left the temple.

Ogan was not strangers to each other, and Ogan was naturally obedient, but such an attitude could not help but surprise the visiting guests.

"Mr. Ogen, I wonder if you would mind introducing us to the young master just now?"

A fat businessman with a naturally smiling face asked respectfully: "It seems that he has a very close relationship with the eldest lady." ”

"Oh...... That's of course. Ogan nodded, his brow slightly upturned.

As Vika's caregiver, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't really agree with the relationship between Miss and the wizard, after all, the wizard was equivalent to mystery and power in the minds of mortals, not to mention the red-robed mage who was born in Serre - with this resume, it was necessary to add a 'cruel and scheming' in front of all kinds of adjectives.

Such a guy is obviously not very suitable to be a lover.

He was not ignorant of Penny, which made Ogan even more suspicious, and the fact that such an eccentric fellow, apparently with another 'unpredictable', would undoubtedly indicate that this man was ambitious, and therefore more dangerous.

However, as a servant, Ogan knew better that he could only give a warning, and he also believed that Vika was a woman with a sufficient surname, and that the gradual transformation from a pampered dewy love to such an intimate relationship could only be due to mutual attraction - he did not know the source of this attraction, but he knew that it was basically impossible to persuade Vika to leave the wizard now.

So in the face of these eyes full of curiosity and waiting for answers, he could only say, "Yes, he ...... Uh, Lord Pan Diesel of the Wizards of the Coast...... It's a good friend with the young lady. ”

"Oh~!" such an introduction with obvious hints obviously satisfied everyone's gossip psychology, and the name Pan Diesel became widely known in Ximen City from this time on.

If it weren't for the assassination, which attracted the attention of many, it might have taken some time for the name to become deeply rooted in people's hearts.

While the people of the city are talking about it, Penny, who has begun to investigate, has already burrowed into a dark alley.

Involving Vika's younger brother, it is obviously inconvenient to borrow Simon's official power, and now he is in the Coastal Wizards Association, although he has strength, but he does not have enough influence and voice power.

Therefore, he must use his own powers.

Located on the edge of a new port created by the Order of the Red Mages and the Edmund family, this dark alley is inhabited by the port's administrators, who are sent by the Edmont family and the Searle Concession to oversee the operation of the port, but few people know that it is just a cover to fool the outside world.

According to the blueprint negotiated by Vika and Penny, it was planned to be expanded into a market street to support the port, but the port was not yet completed, and the area was just a filthy alleyway connected by low eaves and wooden houses, and everywhere there was fish, black smoke, mold, and the smell of dock workers' feet.

Looking at Nephes's expression, you know that she doesn't like this place very much.

Of course, it was not difficult for a mage apprentice to isolate all kinds of unpleasant smells, but the smell had already cast a psychological shadow on her, her small face collapsed, her cheeks were blue, her small eyebrows were slightly curled, and half of her body was almost attached to the wizard's waist.

It was a gesture that would make her walk awkward, but she was used to it, and the wizard wasn't in a hurry.

He walked to a large wooden house in the middle of the dark alley, knocked on the barely intact wooden door, and a guy with a foul mouth and yawning opened the door, and when he saw the wizard outside the door, he immediately became energetic, and rushed into the wooden house with a quick roll, shouting as he ran: "The boss is coming! The boss is coming! Boss! Damn it, come out!"

The wizard shrugged his shoulders and led Nephies inside, and on the benches and floors next to the main entrance hall were five or six large men, most of them shirtless, and one or two of them were even wearing only a pair of small trousers, and their faces were flushed to tell the wizard that they must have drunk a lot before they fell, and when they walked past a man lying next to the coffee table, Nephes, whose face was flushed, turned his eyes.

Precocious as she was, and the wizard and Lannie had been unbridled during this time, and had learned a lot of things that they should not know at this age, the man who had fallen to the ground muttered indistinctly, one hand reached into his trousers, two fingers tickled there, and a tent bloomed in the wind, and it was very windy, and a piece of grass spread out of the crack of his trousers, and stretched to the black patch of his belly.

As if the noise had disturbed the brother's restful sleep, he yawned, pulled his hairy hand out of his trousers, slapped his mouth, turned over and turned his head to the other side, but his nose was so close to a foot sticking out of the sofa that he sneezed, his eyes widened, he squirmed a few times on the ground, found a comfortable spot, and snored again.

The wizard walked through the passage in the center of the hall and entered a small hall, where the walls were covered with portraits of beautiful women in various poses—the fly in the ointment was that none of them were clothed, but the paintings were quite good, and each beautiful woman was vivid.

In Nephis's eyes, the scenery was much more harmonious than the rough scenes outside, at least the beauties in the portraits could make her look with her eyes open, and the sound of wiping came from the desk on one side of the room, and she looked over curiously, and saw a half-elf holding a rag and a wipe in both hands, constantly rubbing against a picture of a beautiful woman on the table, with a tearless expression on his face.

The girl took a closer look at the picture, and her face instantly darkened, and she shrank her head into the wizard's waist as if she had met a ghost.

"Hey, how does it feel here?" said Penny.

"It's okay...... But......" Arnell wept and gritted his teeth as he lifted the canvas on the table, and a few gray residues fell from the canvas: "They actually use my exquisite art to do that kind of thing?!"

"Who told you to put them here. The wizard pouted, "That's what they're going to happen here." ”

"It's hard for me to sit in one place all day long without admiring them. The half-elf shook his head and sighed and rolled up the canvas: "Whenever I see them, I can recall those beauties I have met before, but unfortunately ......"

"Good morning, dear boss. A greeting interrupted the half-elf's emotion, and the former pirate captain Dibino and his lieutenant Morey walked out of the inner room: "Your presence is really surprising. ”

"What's hanging there?" and without answering the pirate captain's greetings, Penny gestured to an ornament next to the small hall.

A squid with tentacles and head positioned in the shape of an iron anchor, which is clearly a special sign.

"Oh...... We need to set a logo for the new gang. ”

"Gang?" the wizard raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, the docks of the Dragon Coast are generally run by gangsters or mercenary groups supported by merchants, and a proper organization is necessary if we are to be permanently here. Dibino said respectfully, "This is also the opinion of Lady Vika. ”

"So that's ...... "The official power on the coast is in the hands of the ruling council, and it is normal for it to be troubled and managed with the help of gangster forces."

"Well, I'll leave this port to you. The wizard pulled out a chair, took out a rag, wiped it, and sat down.

At this point, Dibino's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and the ability to control a port—although it was only a start, it undoubtedly gave him hope, so it seemed that it was not wrong to follow Penny's decision.

"Actually, my lord, we haven't decided on the name of the gang yet......" Morey interjected.

"Name?" the mage raised his eyebrows, "just use any one." ”

"Uh...... Mr. Stefani had a big opinion on the name we came up with, though. Morey glanced carefully at Arnell, who was cleaning up the portrait.

His words managed to make Arnell turn around: "Of course I have an opinion, dear little friend, do you know how amazing the names of these rough people are? Squid Gang, Dock Gang, Pants Gang? Do you think our gang members can use such names to scare the bastards who make trouble here in the future?"

"But your Excellency actually gave ...... name," and at the mention of this, both Morey and Dibino's faces twitched.

"What is it?" Nephis poked her head out, but was pushed back by the wizard, what kind of name this unreliable fellow could come up with, and the wizard could figure it out with his feet.

"Let's call it the Black Sea Gang. He thought about it, and casually gave a common name, in his opinion, the function of the organization is to manage the harbor, to do a half-black and half-white business, the name does not have to be so hideous that it makes people uncomfortable to hear, and to intervene in the dark forces on the coast with a less conspicuous name is believed to reduce the obstacles that will be encountered, just as the wizard is as low-key as ever.

With the red-robed mage and Edmont behind him, I believe that there will not be too many people who dare to come here to find fault, and the development of this small gang can be expected.

"Oh, the Black Sea Gang......" Dibino and Morey recited it twice in their mouths, and each nodded in satisfaction, the name was simple, not so imposing, but also acceptable: "My lord, we can proclaim this name to the brethren......"

"Oh, why don't you use the name I want?" Arnell covered her head in frustration, "What's wrong with my beauties?"

"Forget it. The wizard shrugged his shoulders, pondered his words, and decided to get straight to the point: "Help me investigate someone." ”

"Investigation?" Arnell pricked up his rabbit-like ears, "Well, that's my major." ”

"What news do you need?" Morey went to announce the name of the gang, but Dibino stayed in the room, "My lord, we have established some contacts with some local adventurers and gangsters, and we may be able to help you." ”

"It couldn't be better. The wizard nodded: "Help me find out all the whereabouts of Claude Edmont, the son of the Edmont family, from yesterday to the present, and try to be as detailed as possible." ”

For the sake of Vika's mood, he decided to investigate clearly before taking action, even if there was any hope, it was just Claude's prejudice against him, then he couldn't just act rudely.

But things must be investigated.

"Okay. Arnell and Dibino nodded in agreement.

"Wait. They were about to leave when they were stopped by Penny, and the wizard muttered, "Be secret." ”

"As I said, I'm a professional. Arnell suddenly had a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "Let you know what a senior spy is." ”

Penny nodded, "Excuse me, Arnell." ”

The half-elf let out two uneasy smiles and led Dibino out of the room, and the wizard could only choose to believe in his profession, and the efficiency of the half-elf was obviously much more than he expected, and after less than two hours, all the news he wanted was in front of him.

A thick stack of information not only includes yesterday's whereabouts, but even goes back to two months ago, and some sensitive information that is less than three years old.

"Heh!" Arnell threw the information in front of the wizard's eyes, poured a glass of water with a cheap smile on his face, and drank it all: "This kid has been going to the Purple Rose Bar every night for the past two months, and yesterday he actually stayed at home all night, whew, it's hard to imagine, when his father fell ill, he didn't let such a good habit be interrupted, by the way, Penny, I really can't imagine that something like that happened last night, what? Does it have anything to do with him? Oh, if so, he's a beast......"

Penny frowned, read the information about Claude's whereabouts last night, line by line, until he left the middle of the Dome in the evening, he heard Arnell's words, put down the information, frowned and sighed softly: "...... You're right, what a beast. ”

Nephiss beside him had a cold breath in her eyes.

"So, my lord...... We. Dibino's eyes moved: "Action?"

"Action. Spit out the word, and the wizard's face quickly darkened as if it had been frozen.
