"Here it is?"
In an abandoned folk house in the deep lane of the old church area, the half squatting black haired wizard looked at a long dry deep well in front of him and asked the trembling boots behind him.
"Ah! Yes, yes, Lord Lorraine!" the dirty boy immediately replied, with no more Defiance on his face; His contact with the dark haired wizard made him very sensitive.
Some crowded houses were silent. The beggars hiding behind the "boots" stared at the mild black haired wizard from behind the boots.
This is the man who killed "gutter rat" Cortes, their boss... And the most notorious gang boss in the whole lower urban area.
These half aged children will never forget what they saw when they hid in the corner of the alley. In their eyes, they were vicious. Even the patrol team was afraid of the "gutter rat". It was really like a mouse. The man in front of them was pressed in the mud and gently twisted his neck.
They have seen how terrible Cortes is... But only "boots" know best that the real terrible place of this "Lord Loren" is far from what their former "boss" can compare.
"This dry well has been for many years, and I also recently found that it can lead to the bottom." the shining boots told a little lie. He knew that under the dry well was the place where the "sewer rat" hid his money; Now that the "gutter rat" is dead, he should inherit this guy''s property and become the boss of the beggars.
But how can this answer "we worked hard to find it for you" make the masters sound more satisfied, of course?
But Loren didn''t care about this and nodded: "has anyone approached or appeared nearby recently?"
"No, absolutely not!" boots firmly denied, "I''ve been watching here since Lord Charles sent someone to us. Even if I leave temporarily, I''ll find someone else to watch. Absolutely no one has ever come out or entered here!"
The answer was watertight. It didn''t ask one more question, but also clarified that it was under Charles''s command to monitor here. At the same time, it was also very clear what it wanted to ask. It was perfect.
"Very good, very good." the black haired wizard smiled and patted his dirty head: "boots, you are very smart, I believe you."
As soon as the words fell, the beggars in the room showed their envy... They have seen and heard countless similar examples. Smart children are favored by a master and become apprentices or servants around the master. One day, they may inherit shops or big people dressed in brocade.
Only a man with boots suddenly looked stiff, like falling into an ice cave! He knows the wizard too well... If he praises himself as smart, he''s definitely not just saying he''s "smart"!
Yes, what did I do wrong? I still said the wrong thing. Is it difficult that master Charles is not with him, otherwise
"Don''t worry, I''m just chatting." the black haired wizard rubbed his head again, got up and walked to the dry well under the gaze of his frightened boots.
"Lord Loren!"
Standing in place, the boots held back their fear, and their cautious expression seemed to be afraid of any offense: "then... Well, can we do things under your hands?"
"Huh?" Lauren stopped, turned sideways and looked at the trembling boots and the beggars behind him.
A group of children have been scared silly by boots, but boots understand that this may be their last chance to change their fate... If they don''t seize it, they will at most become the second "gutter mouse" in the future.
After seeing another world, how can you hesitate in this rotten mud pit?!
If you can be a servant, you can do anything you want to be your own! "The tone of the boots became anxious. The eyes were extremely urgent:" as long as what you do for us will be done, we will never ask a single sentence! "
Loren''s eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Anything?"
"Yes!"
"In that case... Do you remember how to get to the wizard tower in the city?"
"Remember!"
"Go to the wizard''s Association and find a man named Ramses freswalker." Loren said calmly, "tell him I asked you to go and let him see the arrangement... Do you understand?"
"Got it!" boots nodded quickly, and the beggars around looked surprised... They could become an apprentice to the master wizard, which was something they didn''t dare to think about before!
When the black haired wizard walked away, in the cheers of beggars, the boots still clenched their fists finally breathed a sigh of relief, sweating from head to foot.
Finally... Don''t worry about being used up by the wizard master

"Why does Loren have to do such superfluous things?"
From the dry well into the ground, I felt the uneven rock strata under my feet, and Asriel, with his head tilted, looked puzzled.
"Superfluous things?"
The black haired wizard walking in front snapped his fingers, and the white "firefly curse" barely lit up the surrounding road.
"Those little beggars... You don''t need them at all?" the boy shrugged. "Wizard Association, United Chamber of Commerce... You have so many helpers, and you still need a group of them?"
"But the wizard Association obeys me because of money, and the United Chamber of commerce can only be controlled through little Yod... Both businessmen and wizards are characterized by loose organization," Loren said in a deep voice
"The most important thing is that I need a group of people who are absolutely loyal to me... Almost like the night watchman."
"But dear Loren, you have Asriel!" the young man stared at the pure big eyes:
"Compared with them, Asriel is absolutely confident to fight 100 with one... In all kinds of connotations and meanings."
"..." the black haired wizard rolled his eyes.
The road under our feet is getting more and more rugged and narrow; Judging from the terrain, it seems to be a sewer that has been abandoned or has not been completed at all.
By the light of the "firefly curse", Loren could judge that there seemed to be a place similar to the "Hall" in front of him; But before arriving at the entrance, you have to pass through a section of potholes, rugged steep slopes and "cliffs", some of which can be seen to be artificially formed.
Who would live in such a place?
"Of course, people who once lived here... Although it is slow, the material world is not invariable."
Asriel''s cheerful voice came again, with a smile on his mouth: "just like Asriel''s cellar in lottel... It was a temple many years ago."
"You mean... It''s similar here?"
"Who knows, the glory of the Holy Cross is immeasurable... The power of faith can tear the devil to pieces, and naturally can turn the magnificent temple into a broken wall."
The boy shrugged again, snorted and glanced behind him: "here we are."
With a meaningful look at the boy, the black haired wizard passed through the entrance of the suspected "gate".
This is a colonnaded hall similar to the temple. The towering dome and rows of colonnaded columns on both sides can see the style similar to the nine pointed star wizard tower; It is hard to imagine that such a building would appear underground if it did not enter from the dry well and the surrounding humid water vapor.
In other words, was it once part of the temple of Brunhild?
At the end of the hall is a huge steel cage. It seems that it is really a place for holding that kind of large monster, but
"It''s just that there seems to be no clue left." sighed, and the boy gently rubbed his fingertips: "although he can really feel some empty residue, such a weak force... It can''t be left by Brunhild."
"Don''t be so sure."
Loren glanced at him, raised his left hand and gently snapped his fingers. A transparent ripple centered on him spread around.
High level spell... Spiritual horizon.
This is a magic spell that transcends the senses and directly reflects everything around in consciousness - everything is clear at a glance, from the breeze passing by the ear to the ants at the feet.
"Found it!"
