Heart of the Castle

Chapter 103 The Transaction and the Subsequent Pitfalls

Perhaps in order to cooperate with the stealth of this shadow, all the lights in the corridor near the room where Li Wei and others were located were turned off.In the darkness, the magic wand in the shadow's hand glowed faintly, forming a faint beam of light that shone on the door.

However, the light emitted by this magic wand stopped there, and there was no further change at all, and the black shadow didn't look surprised at all, holding the wand in his hand and huddled in the corner of the wall, lurking motionless.

The place where the real change took place was in the basement. In the center of the extremely luxurious room where Puck was, there was a crystal clear crystal ball.The fat Puck was leaning on his big bed, his slender eyes narrowed into a slit, and he stared coldly at the old man walking around the crystal ball.

The old man was wearing a black robe embroidered with golden stars, walking around as if covering the starry sky; on his head was a magician's unique pointed hat, decorated with a huge diamond on the top, Coupled with the old man's well-cared for white beard, he looked very handsome.

But now the old man's expression was a little nervous, and he stretched out his skinny hands like a pair of chicken feet, dangling on the crystal ball.Bits of light flew out from his fingertips and merged into the crystal ball.

There are some dim images in the middle of the crystal ball, and the incorporation of every bit of light makes the images in the crystal ball clearer.Gradually, those images gradually formed several vivid characters, and then burst into a flash of bright light!

"Damn Omega, you old bastard can't even do this well?"

Puke couldn't help but uttered vicious curses. He was engrossed in the image in the crystal ball just now, his eyes were pierced by the strong light, and tears poured out involuntarily.

The Omega magician seemed a little panicked, bent his bent body a little lower, and said in a low voice, "Master, I'm sorry..."

Puke rubbed his eyes, the pain gradually subsided, he squinted at Omega without moving his head, and his voice softened.

"Okay, it's not your fault, Omega. Now, old Puke wants to ask, did you see the strength of those people clearly just now?"

Omega's white beard trembled.He replied in a low voice: "Basically, I can see clearly."

"Basically..." Puck raised his head and smacked the uncertain word, "So among those people, there is at least one person whose level is almost the same as yours?"

"Yes, I can't see through that guy wearing armor under the cloak, he has already mastered the fighting spirit." Omega frowned and said, seeing the ugly expression on Puke's fat face, the old man in black robe was very shocked. Quickly added, "However, it should not exceed level 8. You know, the intuition of a magician like me is always very keen."

"Level 8, mastered the Sanhua of Dou Qi..." Puke's slender eyes shone with a cold light, he lay on his back on his big soft bed and thought for a while, then sat up.

"I want to know more information." He looked at Omega eagerly and said.

Omega hesitated for a moment. The magician who had already put on a black robe had no room for kindness in his heart. However, he was unwilling to provoke Li Wei and his party, and he didn't even want Puke go do it.

"Master, can you think about it more? Those people are not easy to mess with."

Puke narrowed his eyes dangerously. He tapped his finger on the table and said, "Omega, pay attention to your suggestions. I don't want to have a conflict of opinion with the chief assistant around me."

"But, master... I'm sorry." It was uncomfortable to be stared at by Puke's cold eyes, the old man in black shivered, and decided to change the topic as soon as possible. "Through the power of the wand, I have seen it." He said with some pride, making a gesture with his hand in the air.

A hazy mist emerged following Omega's gesture, and condensed into phantoms of several figures in the air. These phantoms only roughly outlined an outline and fluctuated slightly with the air in the room.

"Brebe Stone Axe, level 4 dwarf warrior." Omega said, pointing to the shortest and strongest phantom among them.

"That old guy's brain was broken by hitting the iron. Although he has a lot of strength, his strength as a fighter is not worth mentioning." Puke said dismissively.

So Omega waved his hand, and the stocky phantom disappeared, and then his fingers moved to the next phantom, which was tall and thin, with a longbow-like weapon on its shoulders.

"This man's name is Grace, a level 6 sharpshooter. He has the nickname of Sniper Archer in the Adventurer's Union. He has shot and killed many little devils, and even has a record of killing big devils independently."

Pook tapped his fingers on his knees, his brow furrowed, but soon relaxed. "Sharp archer? For an assassin, he is not a difficult opponent. He won't have any chance to make a move tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then this is not a problem." Omega dispersed the tall and thin phantom, and pointed his fingers at the next phantom. This phantom was tall and strong, and looked quite sturdy.

"This person, like Brebe, is a fighter, and he has not comprehended the seeds of battle energy. Judging from the strength of the information returned by the wand, he should be of a higher level than Brebe."

Puke rubbed his fat chin, "The eyeliner in the Whistle and Pig Tavern sent back a message, and someone recognized the identity of this person. It seems to be an adventurer who was injured and retired in the disaster ten years ago. What is his name?" Here comes Donal the Roaring Bear."

"Adventurers with nicknames are not easy to deal with," Omega reminded.

After hearing this, Puke sneered and said, "Don't worry about him, he hasn't picked up a weapon in ten years, and even the best skills are useless. Let's talk about the next one."

Omega shrugged helplessly, and pointed to the most vague-looking phantom. "This is what I said. The guy who has mastered the fighting spirit is likely to wear full-body armor under the cloak, and his strength will not exceed level 8, and obviously it will not be lower than level 7."

"A quasi-high-ranking knight?" Puke sighed, "This is the biggest trouble. I hope there will be no accidents tomorrow."

"The last person..." Omega was about to continue talking, but Puck had already smiled and waved his hand, interrupting him: "Okay, Omega, don't mention our young friend, you should now Take a good rest and sort out your spells. You will play a key role in tomorrow's plan."

"Master, I'm a little worried about this young man..." Omega wanted to continue, but Puke was obviously a little impatient. The fat black market boss patted Omega's thin shoulders under his black robe, showing a kind smile Said: "Go down and rest, my friend."

These words made Omega's snow-white beard tremble. The old man decided not to argue any more. After bowing deeply, he walked towards his room.

Seeing that Omega had finally left, Pook heaved a sigh of relief and threw himself back on the bed.This ruthless black-robed magician is indeed a capable assistant, but his character is still too cautious.

No matter how deep the young man's background is, during the period when the disaster is coming, he can only become a prop for himself to obtain wealth. The only thing that needs attention is that it must be dealt with cleanly in the end.

Thinking of this, the obese black market boss smiled coldly, and then shook the silver bell in his hand.

Several servants in gorgeous silk robes ran over immediately, half kneeling under the bed, with their heads lowered.

"Call Susan and Molly over here," Puck ordered. "I want to relax."
