Hearing Kaierfu's question, Qige replied indifferently:
"Hey, it's nothing serious. This is it.
Serena and I have an old friend named Seraph, who opened a guild of commerce in the Fallen Moon Territory called Flower of Joy.
We haven't seen him for a long time, and this time we came specifically to see him."
Kai Erfu was stunned. Xinyue Flower Chamber of Commerce? !
This name seems familiar, could it be...
Kaierfu's gaze turned to Chengdu Youshu Treasure Master who was standing among the group of mages. He obviously heard their conversation and his face was extremely pale.
Kaierfu felt that even his mother, who had been dead for decades, had a face that was not as white as his.
Qi Ge was keenly aware that many of the mages around him looked unhappy. He knew it very well, but he pretended to be puzzled and asked loudly:
"Lord Kaierfu, what happened? Why do I feel the atmosphere is a little awkward? Could something have gone wrong with the Joyful Flower Merchants Association?"
Hearing Qi Ge's words, Serena immediately became alert. She couldn't help it at all. The magic power in her body suddenly began to surge. She asked angrily:
"Kailfu, what happened to Xinyue Chamber of Commerce?!"
The word "Kai Erfu" made Kai Erfu's heart tremble.
Although Serena had a bad temper and didn't like me very much, every time she saw me in the past, she would always politely add the word "city lord" after my name.
Calling her by her name clearly showed her attitude.
Damn it, even though this incident has nothing to do with me, it happened in the Falling Moon Territory after all.
How should I answer this?
"Hahaha, Seraphim is fine, he just happened to die."
Serena's mental illness is well-known throughout Thunder City. What if she suddenly goes crazy and kills me?
I want to live a few more years!
Kaierfu quickly looked at Qige for help.
Qi Ge was originally smiling, but when he saw Kai Erfu looking at him, his face darkened little by little.
He took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Lord Kaierfu, we are like brothers to Serafu. If anything happens to him, you might as well tell us directly. We will do our best to help him."
Like brothers?!
Isn't this the end?!
Ga!
Kaierfu almost fainted.
Who would have thought that a small merchant like Seraph could be so close to you two, the top people of Bracada? !
What to do? The Treasure Makers Guild made this matter known to everyone, hoping to use it to intimidate those small chambers of commerce and craftsmen who were becoming increasingly disobedient.
Any passerby on the streets of Xingfeng and Serena could get the news.
What should I do? What should I do?
Kaierfu was panicking when he suddenly saw Xingfeng frowning and glancing at the mages around him.
Wait a minute, it’s not me who killed him, why am I so panicked?
Chengdu Youshu, it’s not that I don’t care about our friendship, but I dare not protect you. You’re on your own.
Kai Erfu's mind suddenly came to him, and he quickly replied:
“My nephew Xingfeng, Councillor Serena, please accept my condolences.
Brother Seraph passed away a month ago."
Qi Ge: "What?!"
Serena: "What did you say?!"
boom!
Lightning and fire exploded on Serena's body at the same time, and the huge magical pressure almost pierced through the sky.
Even the city-protecting magic circle of the Falling Moon Territory was activated by this magical pressure. A thin pale yellow magic protective shield enveloped the sky, as if it was covering the hearts of everyone present.
Serena's eyes had turned red, and countless magic symbols began to rotate around her.
Serena used her terrifying strength to remind everyone present that she was not only a student of the demigod hero Somla, but also a true legend who completed her legendary journey by killing Chaos!
Serena's body was small, but her water, phew, her magic was huge.
She did not take out the magic book, but just stretched out her hand, and a pair of lavender wizard's hands appeared beside her.
The wizard's hand mercilessly grabbed Kelfu's collar and lifted him high into the sky.
Serena stared at Kaierfu with her red eyes and asked word by word:
"What happened to Seraph ? How did he die? Tell me now!"
Regardless of his status or strength, Kai Erfu did not dare to resist. He could only reply tremblingly:
“Congressman Serena, I heard that this was an accident that no one wanted to happen.
About a month ago, in the Moon Rock Commercial Street in the Falling Moon Territory, a speeding carriage without a driver hit Seraph to death. "
Serena roared, "How could there be an unmanned carriage out of nowhere? This is definitely not an accident! This is definitely murder!"
Kai Erfu was sweating profusely. Councillor Serena had such a sharp intuition! Could it be that she knew something in advance and rushed here in such a hurry?
Qi Ge broke out in a cold sweat. Serena's paranoia came back again, and this time it was quite accurate.
Serena continued questioning Kelford:
"Kailfu! Tell the truth! Is this murder?!"
Kai Erfu's lips trembled, and he spoke slowly:
“We are still investigating the specific cause of the accident.
In our Zhuiyue Territory, the people are simple and honest, and they live and work in peace and contentment and abide by the law. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are some people with ulterior motives.
The situation is still unclear, the specific cause is still unclear, and everything has to wait for the report of the investigative experts."
Serena was furious and roared, "What are you talking to me about? I'm asking you, was Seraph's death a murder?!"
Kaierfu felt that the magical aura on the wizard's hand was getting stronger, and he quickly turned to look at Xingfeng.
Qi Ge gave him a helpless look.
Kai Erfu swallowed his saliva and continued, "The Fallen Moon Territory has a long history of development, the local population is relatively dense, and some guild organizations are particularly prosperous.
So it is very difficult to investigate.”
Qi Ge, who was watching from the side, felt embarrassed for Kai Erfu.
He had completed Sera Nan's mission in his previous life and knew very well who was behind the scenes.
Chengdu Youshu is a true master. The difference in status between a true master and a pseudo-legend is not that big. What's more, behind Chengdu Youshu stands the entire Bracada Treasure Makers Guild.
Kaierfu couldn't afford to offend Serena or Chengdu Youshu, so he could only answer like this.
Qi Ge shook his head.
Serena was bound to vent her anger over Seraph's death.
I deliberately didn't tell Serena in Thunder City that Serafo was dead, just because I didn't want to be hit by this angry big move.
I would rather die than let my friend die. Lord of Kaierfu City, you are the only one who has to bear this punishment.
Serena yelled again, "Kelfo, what are you answering? I'm asking you, was Serafo's death a murder?!"
Kai Erfu closed his eyes, moved his lips twice, and faintly revealed a bitter smile. He felt uncomfortable. Councillor Serena, I have said so much, why don't you understand? !
The mage's hand suddenly clenched, and Kai Erfu's heart trembled, and he said quickly:
"We are implementing the idea of ​​resolute investigation. In the process of investigating the specific circumstances of the accident, we will improve the level of investigators, assign specific people to handle specific matters, and prevent external interference.
so……"
Serena was so anxious that she calmed down. Her expression was extremely cold, and she gave an ultimatum indifferently:
“Kailfu, I order you as a member of the Thunder City Magic Council.
Answer me, was Seraph's death a murder?"
It's over, there's no escape. You're offending people on both sides, so you can only pick the one who's a little easier to offend.
Kai Erfu closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and said, "Yes!"
Bang!
Serena threw Kaierfu to the ground fiercely and asked calmly, "Who is the murderer?"
The mages of the surrounding Treasure Makers Guild broke out in sweat instantly, as if the sky was falling and a disaster was imminent.
Chengdu Youshu felt the most uncomfortable. These guys were a bunch of rubbish and they didn't even investigate thoroughly before doing anything.
He gritted his teeth and thought to himself that the only option now was to sacrifice the rook to save the king.
He quickly stepped forward and said loudly:
“Councilman Serena, the carriage that hit Seraph was from our Treasure Makers Guild.
The owner of the carriage is the treasure maker Lassi White Lantern."
Laxi Baideng fell to his knees with a thud, his face full of despair.
He was pale, sweating profusely, his eyeballs were bulging and bloodshot, and his lips were trembling as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.
Qi Ge's eyes focused. The president of the Treasure Makers Guild was quite decisive.
If it was anyone else, they might have gotten away with it, but sorry, the one who came this time was Serena, the most suspicious woman in all of Bracada.
Serena used the magician's hand to lift up Laxi Baideng and Chengdu Youshu at the same time, and the red color in her eyes deepened a little.
Before making up his mind, Kaierfu was a fence-sitter who didn't want to offend either side. But after making up his mind, his mentality changed drastically, as if he had jumped directly from the Ice Age to the Jurassic Period.
Since I've already offended you, I might as well offend you to the end!
He stood up from the ground, casually dusted off his body, took out his staff, pointed at Lassi Baideng and cursed:
"Okay! I gave you full authority to investigate. But you kept telling me there was no result. So you are the mastermind!
Nephew Xingfeng, Councillor Serena! There are bad guys in our castle!
You deceive your superiors and subordinates and commit many crimes. Laxi Baideng, you deserve to die!
Councillor Serena, I propose that Lacy White Lantern be given severe punishment immediately!
This kid has committed many evil deeds, and if he is not severely punished, he will definitely not confess!"
Damn, you guys are going to kill them all right away.
Laxi Baideng was in despair. He knew that now that things had come to this, he had to die.
He immediately cried out, "I did it, it was all me, don't torture me, I confess! I confess!"
The red light in Serena's eyes could no longer be suppressed. The magic book flew to her side and flipped through it, and in a blink of an eye it turned to the level 6 magic.
Qi Ge's heart tightened.
Oh shit, a legendary magic is used right from the start, this is a fight to the death.
He quickly said, "Serena, wait a minute!"
Serena didn't react, and magic power began to gather in the magic book.
The terrifying magic power frightened everyone present.
Especially those innocent mages who followed Kaierfu to greet Serena.
They are simply screwed.
Serena is a disciple of Somla, who is born with the ability to master powerful group damage magic such as chain lightning. What if Serena gets angry and gets struck to death?
They hurriedly shouted to Qi Ge, "Master Xingfeng, help!"
"Lord Xingfeng, please persuade Councillor Serena."
Seeing this, Qi Ge hurriedly took out the harp and started plucking it quickly.
The elegant melody of "Miner's Song" awakened Serena from her loss of control, and the surging magical aura in her body began to slowly subside.
But she was very angry at the moment and didn't even look happy to Qi Ge.
She asked impatiently: "Xingfeng, what do you want to say? Tell me now!"
Qi Ge's palms were sweaty, but he remained calm on the surface and said:
“Serena, don’t be impulsive. If you kill Laci Baideng here, there will be no evidence.
What if the main culprit is someone else? Wouldn’t Serafo’s death be in vain?
Let's go to Seraph's Xinyue Chamber of Commerce first and investigate the situation thoroughly."
Serena thought about it and felt that what Xingfeng said made sense.
Her magic book finally ran out of magic power and fell back onto Serena.
Qi Ge turned to the dumbfounded Kai Erfu and said in a shocking voice:
"Lord Kaierfu, now, in the name of the Speaker of the Magician Council, Escher, and Councillor Serena.
I order you to immediately mobilize the Yasha Fire and the city defense array to seal off the scene and not allow anyone to leave."
Serena immediately understood the implication of Qi Ge's words, and took out the dark purple identity card of her own councilor and the light purple identity card of the Mage Council given to her by Somla.
Once these two identity cards were revealed, Sephora's death changed from a private revenge of Qi Ge and Serena to an investigation by the Magician Council.
In other words, this matter has been elevated to an administrative level and needs to be included in Kaierfu's city lord assessment record, which will affect Kaierfu's future promotion and wealth.
Oh no, there is such a trick.
Chengdu Youshu’s heart tightened.
This time, Kaierfu will definitely not show any favoritism to me anymore.
Sure enough, Kaierfu's ears moved, and the magic power in his body suddenly surged, and his gray hair began to wave freely.
Although his power is not as great as Serena's, he should not be underestimated.
He stretched out his hand, and all the Yasa fire in the entire Falling Moon Territory was mobilized. The magic circle protecting the territory was instantly activated, forming a cage.
Kaierfu stood up straight, and said with a firm look, “My nephew Xingfeng, Councillor Serena, don’t worry.
I, Kaierfu, hate evil and detest the dark forces in the territory.
Seraph is a citizen of our Fallen Moon Territory, and a citizen of my Kaierfu!
I will never let any bad guy go and will definitely seek justice for Seraphim.
You guys go ahead and investigate, but no one is allowed to leave here until you come back."
Fuck! This piece of shit is really a hard sell.
Chengdu Youshu knew in his heart that Kaierfu said these words to him on purpose, meaning that he could not protect himself and asked him to find another way.
This made Chengdu Youshu look at Xingfeng angrily.
The plan was about to succeed, but this guy pushed it to the edge of the cliff.
"Don't panic. Since I dare to cause trouble, I am not afraid of it."
Chengdu Youshu took a deep breath and gently pinched a beautiful conch with his five fingers.
Serena was still looking at everyone with a vicious look. Qi Ge reached out and pulled her arm, saying:
“Let’s go. The Lord of Kaierfu is here. If there is a mastermind behind this, he will definitely not be able to escape.
Let’s go to the Heart-Delight Flower Chamber of Commerce first.
Although Seraph has passed away, I remember that he still has a daughter. We must rush over immediately to prevent her from being murdered."
Serena was shocked: "Little Nan, yes, there is also little Nan."
She grabbed Qi Ge's hand and said anxiously:
"Xingfeng, take me to the Heart's Delight Flower Chamber of Commerce. I have to protect her!"
Qi Ge knew very well that Serena had been lonely for too long, and Serafo and Sera Nan were her only spiritual sustenance.
That's why she was so excited when she suddenly heard the news of Seraph's death.
Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part; flirt with a girl where her itch is; and lick a dog where his weakness is.
Qi Ge knew that even bidding for ten thousand horses would not be as likely to impress Serena as helping Serafor and Sera Nan.
He nodded solemnly and said, “Don’t worry, Serena, Seraph is also my good friend, I will definitely protect Nan with you.
We are going now.”
[System prompt: Serena's favorability towards you +10, currently 50 (close)]
…
…
In the shop of the Heart's Delight Flower Chamber of Commerce, Nan was confronting three people from the Treasure Makers Guild under the protection of a wizard.
Their entire chamber of commerce store has been surrounded by a group of gargoyles, and all those who wanted to purchase the assets of the Heart Joy Flower Chamber of Commerce have been driven out.
Na Eun frowned, suppressing her anger, not even daring to speak too loudly, and could only pretend to be timid and said:
“Master Mage, I have tried my best to raise the money my father owes. I only need to sell off the assets of the Heart-Delight Flower Chamber of Commerce, and I will be able to pay off the debt soon.
But if you drive all these customers away, won't it delay the time for your treasure maker's guild to recover the loan?"
The leading wizard glanced at Nan, and said to another companion beside him:
"Still? She's talking about still?
She actually said that she wanted to sell the assets belonging to our Treasure Makers Guild and return them to our Treasure Makers Guild?
Tell me, is this funny or not? Hahahaha!"
The two great wizards beside him laughed at the same time:
"Hahaha, how can there be such stupid people in this world?"
"Steal our stuff, sell it and give it back to us. How dare you think of that, haha."
The more Na Eun listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but ask anxiously:
"What do you mean?"
"Hmph! Meaning!" The leading wizard slammed a piece of paper on the table and said:
“According to the loan agreement, the principal is 2,000 gold coins and the interest is 500 gold coins, a total of 2,500 gold coins.
The repayment deadline is one month, and it has now exceeded 15 days.
In other words, your father has breached the contract.
After default, we have the right to forcibly take over your assets to repay the loan.
The shop of your Heart's Delight Flower Chamber of Commerce is worth 100 gold coins.
We will charge you a higher price for the formula of your Heroic Soul Sachet, which is worth 200 gold coins.
We'll be kind enough to give you 200 gold coins for the junk and inventory in the store, which will just pay off the interest of the 500 gold coins.
You still have 2,000 gold coins to pay back, understand, Xiao Nan? "
The wizard next to Na Eun couldn't stand it any longer, he slammed the table and said, "You are going too far!
This shop, including the land and the shop, cost a total of 1,600 gold coins to build. Even if we sell it at a 50% discount, it is still worth more than 800 gold coins.
The formula of the Heroic Soul Sachet has already been offered by one of the customers for a high price of 4,000 gold coins.
The remaining goods of the Chamber of Commerce can be sold for more than 3,000 gold coins if they are broken down and sold separately. You only charge us 500 for all of these?!"
The face of the great wizard opposite turned cold, and he quickly opened his magic book and without hesitation used lightning to strike the wizard next to Nan.
Boom!
Lightning ran rampant on the wizard's body, causing his limbs to tremble.
The mage looked extremely painful and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He didn't expect that the other party would actually dare to take action directly in the Falling Moon Territory. This behavior would be recorded by the city defense equipment, and once someone tracked him down, he would not be able to escape.
Nan's face changed, and she quickly supported the mage, and shouted anxiously: "Uncle Hard!"
Hader stretched out his hand, looked at the great wizard opposite him, and said angrily: "You are so reckless, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?!"
The Archmage laughed wildly:
"Hahaha! Divine punishment?
Had, you are as stupid as your useless president. You still haven't figured out who you have offended.
I tell you, in the Fallen Moon Territory, our Treasure Makers Guild is king!
Even now, if the Lord of Kaierfu walked in front of your Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn't even look at you."
The Archmage sneered and said:
"Had, Nan, if you had behaved well, we wouldn't want to kill you all, but you actually dared to do something behind our backs!"
Na Eun's heart tightened. Could it be that they knew about her plan? !
Before Nan could react, the great wizard waved his hand vigorously and said, "Bring it up to me!"
Puff!
Three gargoyles hung a young craftsman with a bruised face and nose, and threw him into the shop, knocking over two chairs with a bang.
Hade's face turned pale instantly, and Naen exclaimed:
"Ayton! What did you do to Ayton?"
The Archmage snorted coldly and continued:
"Humph! You actually dare to send someone to the city lord's castle to 'appeal'?
Ate the Behemoth Heart Black Dragon Gallbladder? !
Or is it that our Treasure Makers Guild has been too kind to you, causing you to underestimate our strength?"
Had closed his eyes in pain and whispered, "Miss, it's all my fault. I harmed Ayton. You told us not to act rashly, but I still wanted to give it a try."
Nan looked at Hader in horror, her expression changed, and she said, "No, it's not your fault, Butler Hader. Even if you didn't send Ayton, they wouldn't let us go."
"Haha!" The great wizard laughed evilly and said, "Naen, you are not that stupid."
He sat down, crossed his legs, and said triumphantly:
"From today on, all your assets will be discounted to offset the interest of 500 gold coins, and you are now penniless.
We in the Treasure Makers Guild unanimously agree that you do not have enough ability to repay the principal of 2,000 gold coins.
In order to prevent the sacred and inviolable property of our Treasure Makers Guild from being damaged, from today on, all of you except Nan will be sent to the Fallen Moon Lake Mine to mine for 100 years!
As for Na Eun, it would be a pity to send such a pretty face of yours to mine. I can show mercy to you and let you sell your body to pay off your debts.
However, you have to follow the three of us and receive training for a month first."
