After leaving the Troglodyte Bar, Ryan and others, led by Tisilis, wandered around the business district of Eberston as if nothing had happened. Everyone came here from Salufin, and they were often "passed by" by a certain force along the way. "Welcome", and after arriving at Ebston, Mu Suhaile and the Jellyfish Mercenary Group came to find themselves again, so Tisilis and the others would suspect these two groups and the person behind the control of the snail-finned beast tide. Is there any unknown relationship between the organizations? However, when she was in the Troglodyte Bar, Tisilis had already judged that Suhaile, the octopus man, should have met her and her group by chance, so the suspicion of the Jellyfish Mercenary Group was inevitable. has increased a lot,
While wandering around, Tisilis also told Ryan and Faras some information about Eberston in detail. There must be a certain reason behind the rise of such a fallen city on the undersea plain. Mixed with all aspects of the power game, in fact, even Tisely has some of her power here, but this is only her peripheral force. Everyone knows that those chambers of commerce and mercenary groups are dependent on Tisely. Damn it, but if you really want to find any concrete evidence, you can't even think of it.
Not only Tisiris, but also her mother, her sister Sadurina, and many other forces in the Naga Empire also used similar methods to get a share of the Ebston City. In the end, all parties The result of the power struggle is that Ebston's reputation has been achieved, and every force involved here has made a lot of money. Of course, Tisiris's peripheral forces in Ebston are used as cannon fodder to run errands. There is no problem, but it must not be used as a confidant, so Tisilis has no intention of contacting the person in charge here. On the contrary, she deliberately comes here in the name of the Naga Fei Lingcui tribe and the name Fei Lan. To do something, so that the stagnant water of Ebbstone can be muddied again,
If someone wants to investigate Tisiris's background, then they must use their power in the western part of the underwater world to investigate that formidable and huge family. As one of the ten major Naga families, Fei Lingcui controls the huge family. The army belongs to the powerful faction of the empire. The infighting among such a large family is naturally very complicated. Some of their tribesmen prefer Tisiris’s sister Sadurina, while others are secretly in contact with Tisiris. There are other tribesmen who will strictly maintain neutrality and not help each other. Of course, the patriarch of Fei Lingcui will naturally obey the orders of the Naga Queen unconditionally. In this case, let alone external forces, I am afraid that even if the Naga Queen personally orders a strict investigation, It will take a long time to really straighten out these messy relationships, and such a long time is enough for Tisiris to return to her base safely.
"So you plan to use this place as a battlefield." After listening to Ticelis' explanation, Farasi suddenly asked. Now they are sitting around a shop specializing in selling magic items. Tiselis today Not long ago, she opened an account worth one million gold coins in Eberston, but in such a short period of time, her image has spread throughout the city. The octopus boss saw Tisilis and others hanging out in his shop. , actually directly provided them with a quiet room and let his most capable apprentices serve them. As for the magic items placed in front of Faras and others, naturally they were all the best things the boss had on hand.
"Yes." Tiselis did not lower her voice deliberately, because they had a magic barrier blessed by Ryan himself, which could prevent the content of their conversation from leaking out, so Tiselis ignored it directly. He looked at the lizard man apprentice who was standing more than ten meters away and respectfully waiting for his orders, and directly answered Faras's question: "If we return to Tisilina too soon, I'm afraid that the forces behind us will cut off and expose ourselves." Part, so that they will hide again, such a big hidden danger, which may even cover several generals with military power under me, whether it is when I and Sadurina compete for the throne, or in the future. If it breaks out at a critical moment in power, it is likely to be fatal. Instead of doing this, it is better to stay here for a few days, on the one hand, try to tease the hidden forces to show their feet, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as establishing power for Ryan and you guys. .”
"Haha, speaking of Ryan's performance just now, it was really good." Faras said with a smile: "If you want to fight, do it now, if not, get away. What you said, Ryan, is really impressive. Compared with Fernando and Fabia, He is much more arrogant when it comes to fame."
After listening to Farasi's half-ridiculing and half-praising words, Ryan said with a shameful face: "Actually, I really don't like this kind of thing... But since I want to show the arrogance of a strong tiefling, I have no choice but to do this. I saw some of it when I was with Cassano, and when I make any decisions or say anything, I just need to express the opposite meaning to what I think in my heart."
"Haha, it's so funny." Faras was about to laugh a few times, but suddenly changed her tune and said, "Well, this magic jewelry is not bad, Fei Lan, what do you think."
Ryan and Tisilis also felt a faint magic wave passing through them like Faras. They knew that someone was probably using magic to spy on them, so naturally they all had a tacit understanding not to talk about just now. Instead, they started to comment on the magic ornament in Faras’ hand.
Tisilis said in a praising tone: "It's very good. Although the material is not particularly good, the craftsmanship of the maker is still worthy of praise."
Ryan said in a disdainful tone: "This is a piece of shit. The combination of water magic array and wind magic array is terrible. The final effect is just a level 5 defensive magic. If several fire magic arrays are added to it, Using magic as a transfer can at least increase the effectiveness of that defensive magic to another level."
The three of them talked about each other, as if they were really browsing the shops. After the magic wave that enveloped him disappeared, Ryan snorted and said to Tisilis: "I have locked the other party's position, do you want to Just kill him."
"Don't be so impatient." Tisilis said with a smile: "If we are too proactive, we may expose our true purpose. It is better to wait for them to play their cards."
Faras put the magic jewelry in her hand back, and waved to the lizard man apprentice standing aside, indicating that he could take it away. The apprentice then bent over and walked over, placing the display in front of Faras and the others. The wooden tray was brought out. To be fair, the goods in this magic shop are quite good. Unfortunately, they are not available for a legendary magician like Ryan, so Faras and the others did not particularly like anything. When the boss saw that Ticelis and the others had gained nothing, he didn't care at all. Instead, he respectfully came out to see Ryan and the others off. However, when Tiselis was about to walk out of the shop door, the octopus boss suddenly spoke. One thing: "You guys must be big shots, so naturally you don't like the goods I have here, but starting yesterday is our annual auction in Eberston. If you want some surprises, you might as well go and see it." look."
Hearing the reminder from the Octopus Man boss, Ryan couldn't help but stop and asked: "Oh, so what good things are there in this auction?"
The octopus man boss was waiting for this opportunity. He quickly replied: "Dear guest, this kind of auction house usually lasts for three days. Yesterday, the items sold were usually only some commonly used goods, but today they usually sell some special and rare items. As for tomorrow, they are the goods consigned by other customers here. If you are interested, you may wish to take a look. In previous years, deep sea squid eggs, refined obsidian, lich flowers, star diamonds, etc. have appeared at such auctions. Waiting for the rarest and rarest products, as for this year, we outsiders will definitely not know what is being sold before the auction is over. This is for the sake of confidentiality on the one hand, and on the other hand it is a gimmick to attract everyone. In short, they It does guarantee that this year’s auction items will not be worse than what I mentioned above.”
"The eggs of the deep-sea squid." Ryan muttered to himself, and Faras had already guessed from his words what Ryan didn't say below: "I don't know what it has to do with the deep-sea squid of that illusion master Jimka. ." Seeing that both Ryan and Farasi seemed to be interested in this auction, Tisilis said, "You can lead the way." After saying that, she threw a bulging money bag towards the octopus man boss,
The octopus boss accepted the reward from Tisilis with a smile. In fact, he was not coveting the bounty. Although the gold coins in the wallet were definitely not a small amount, in fact, what the octopus boss cared about most was to be able to communicate with Tisilis. For Naga women like Liz to have some connections, this can be regarded as some kind of invisible investment. With Tisi Liz's noble temperament that cannot be concealed, the octopus boss believes that she is definitely not an ordinary person. If there really is something in the future, With the opportunity to be promoted by the other party, wouldn't it bring the Octopus Man boss's business to a higher level
Ten minutes later, the octopus boss led Tisilis and her party outside an inconspicuous building. He whispered a few words to the two guards guarding the door, and then moved towards Tisilis and the others. With one finger, he signaled that these guests wanted to go in and take a look. The guards who could guard the door in such a place were naturally guys with outstanding eyesight. Naturally, they did not dare to offend distinguished guests like Tisilis, so they opened the door to the guests. He politely invited Tisilis and others in, but the octopus boss seemed to have insufficient status and was blocked outside by the guards.
After entering the building, Ryan and the others discovered that this was not a real auction house, but a passage leading to the auction house. The two guards responsible for guarding the door did not have the authority to go deep inside, but moved Tisilis and others The person was handed over to a female octopus maid, who led the way through the passage in the building in front of her toward the underground. After walking for a few minutes, Ryan and others felt that they seemed to have entered a magic barrier, and that The octopus waiter no longer had the authority to move forward. The person who welcomed Ticelis and others into the real auction house was replaced by a kind-looking male fishman supervisor. The seven people were brought outside the door of a stone room, opened the door and made an inviting gesture.
