Change first and then change.
"Master Cavo, are you coming to the Black Wind Territory?"
With a relaxed smile on his face, Ren asked this question that was very curious from the beginning.
Cavo looked at Ren with his wise eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world, and asked, "What do you think?"
Renn asked tentatively: "Come for the auction?"
Cavo did not admit or deny it.
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, and then said in a leisurely manner: "Didn't you say before that you sensed a few old friends coming to the city?"
"oh?"
Renn's mind immediately started thinking about who this person could be called an "old friend".
Could it be some big shot in Glory City
Unexpectedly, Cavo said directly: "Bazel, Guy... and Miss Canosha from the 'Sombra Chamber of Commerce'. It seems that she should also have advanced to the 'Legendary Realm'. ..”
When Ren heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
However, the strange color disappeared in a flash.
What made him even more curious was another thing.
After Kanosha advanced to Legend, her control of fighting energy was flawless, and no one in the world should be able to see through her cultivation. But he didn't expect Cavo to wear it in one sip.
However, the title of "old friend" in Cavo's mouth is somewhat intriguing.
Either they are true friends, or they show respect for the strong men of the same level.
... ...
Our whereabouts seem to be under the control of this legend.
Ren didn't pretend to be stupid and asked directly: "How did you know that Miss Canossa is a transcendent?"
Cavo shook his head: "Today, Miss Canossa's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of extraordinaryness recognized by the world. Her aura is so flawless that any extraordinary person in the perception system cannot detect that she is an extraordinary person. The same goes for me."
Upon hearing this, Ren's eyes flickered for a moment.
Kavo didn't make anyone interested, and explained: "It was only a few years ago that she came to the Glory City once when she was still at the fourth level of Extraordinary Level. At that time, her breath gathering technique was not as proficient as it is now. It happened that I was I saw some clues.”
I see...
Only then did Ren understand that it was not that Canosha had been seen through now, but that she had been seen through before.
He asked tentatively: "Do you also know Mr. Gay?"
If Canossa showed her face, what about Guy? That person's ability to control his aura is no weaker than Canossa's. If he hadn't exposed himself, others wouldn't be able to sense it.
"Yes. Mr. Guy is my old friend."
Cavo said: "I also know that he came here for the evil sword. After all... I told him the whereabouts of the sword."
Ren finally understood.
When I met Guy for the first time, the guy said he came to the "Black Wind Territory" to look for the evil sword. It was said that an old friend gave him the information, and it turned out to be Cavo.
In this way, Ren could not understand the purpose of Cavo's trip even more.
If he was helping Glory City, why did he tell this to himself
But if it wasn't to help Glory City and show up to see him, then why
At this moment, when the two of them were about to continue talking, the conversation at the table next to them reached their ears.
After hearing the topic with some interest, the two of them silently stopped talking.
... ... .
Although there were relatively few people in the "Anchor Tavern", it was still very noisy due to today's auction.
While Ren and Cavo were drinking and talking, a new guest came to the wine table next to them.
Judging from his attire, he seemed to be a senior member of several small hunting groups.
The voices of the few people talking were very low, but it still did not escape Ren's high-level extraordinary perception.
"Hey... the taxes in the Black Wind Territory are getting higher and higher. If this continues, if our hunting harvest is not good, all our efforts will be in vain for the lords."
"Yes. I thought there were living corpses west of the Alcoron Mountains and I could make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the tax rate of the Radiant Kingdom is even harsher than that of the two major empires. With this deduction, there is not much to earn!"
"I really miss the old 'Glory City'. At that time, Master Cavo was still there, and everyone worked together to open up wasteland. Although it seems that there are not as many opportunities as now, at least everything is fair, more work, more reward. Now, the five major families After taking power and establishing a country and becoming a noble, he spends all his time thinking about how to exploit common people like us hunter-gatherers. Once all kinds of taxes are withheld, it is not as good as the original harvest... "
"Now the two empires are reducing taxes everywhere to prevent the loss of citizens, and the guys in 'Glory City' are even more aggressive."
"Who told them to be confident? There are living corpses here, and there are so many ancient ruins..."
"Hey, it would be great if Master Cavo was still here..."
"..."
... ... .
The hunters at the table next to them were complaining about the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the territory as soon as the food was served.
When Ren heard this, he looked at Master Cavo, the "party" sitting in front of him.
I don’t know how the founder of Glory City would feel when he heard these words.
Kavo's expression was still as calm as ever. He took a sip of wine from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.
At this time, several people at the next table were still talking.
"The nobles in the world are all fucking birds, they are nothing! That's bullshit, 'City of Glory', 'City of Darkness' is just about the same."
"Hey... we small hunting groups will be more and more miserable in the future. I really don't know how long we can persist."
"Where else can I go? I can barely make some money here. If I find a relic, I will get rich. The group of people who survived the 'Tehsen Desert' last time have all become rich. It's really enviable. "
"Envy? I heard that tens of thousands of people died, and only a few hundred came back alive. Do you dare to earn that kind of money?"
"I heard that there was a 'shady secret' in the last exploration of the ruins. Those hunters could have survived more, but they were tricked by the nobles..."
"Hush... It is forbidden to 'spread rumors' now, otherwise you will be sent to the gallows."
"..."
Several people whispered and talked about the previous hunt for desert ruins.
If all those tens of thousands of people had died, the news probably wouldn't have spread; but unfortunately, hundreds of people survived.
It is reasonable for the Rosas family to block the news.
But after hearing this, Ren felt that it was time to add some fire to Master Cavo.
After all, he had personally experienced the previous desert hunting operation.
He said: "Master Cavo, have you heard about the 'Tehsen Desert' thing last time?"
Cavo glanced at him and said calmly: "I heard a little bit."
Ren said: "It happened that I was also exploring the ruins at the time and saw that scene. Those people in the Rosas family were indeed not very kind. Not only did they cost the lives of tens of thousands of people, but they also forced people to die in the end. ..For this reason, Mr. Gay killed that 'Prince Harper'."
He briefly told what happened.
Cavo listened, his expression unchanged, but perhaps he hadn't spoken for a long time.
In the previous Glory City, even if the five major families did such a thing, it would be an unpardonable "death penalty".
... ...
When the two talked about this, Renn didn't know that Cavo was here for the auction. He didn't beat around the bush anymore and planned to test it out.
Then he said: "Master Cavo, do you think these guys who care about human life should be killed?"
"Deserves to be killed."
Cavo responded simply and neatly, without any hesitation because the Rosas family was once one of his direct disciples.
Then he asked, "It seems that little friend Ren has guessed why I'm here?"
Ren said: "Are you trying to persuade us to leave the Black Wind Territory?"
Cavo smiled slightly, noncommittal.
He said: "Before you invited me to drink, I originally planned to persuade you to leave. Because I know that there are many top masters lurking in this territory. But now... It seems that my worries are unnecessary. You seem to Knows better than I do.”
Renn raised his eyebrows, neither admitting nor denying, and waited for the next sentence.
Cavo's intention here is "to be a friend, not an enemy", which is a good thing.
He was also curious about how much this wise old man could guess.
Cavo continued: "Although I still can't imagine what chance you have of winning in this situation. But now that you are here, you must have your own confidence."
After a pause, his turbid eyes flashed with clarity, glanced at Ren, and continued: "Besides, looking at the calm and unhurried demeanor of my little friend. I also understand that no matter who this old bone of mine helps, It will affect your plans."
Ren's expression was slightly strange.
But even if Cavo guessed it now, it wouldn't have much impact.
Now both sides are ready to fight, and this battle will happen no matter what. No one will give up without a head-on confrontation.
What's more, he didn't think Cavo knew the true strength of their "Black Dragon City".
Thinking about it, Ren said bluntly: "We will definitely save the captured Coleman soldiers, and we will definitely get back the stolen divine power totems... Master Cavo, do you think we did the right thing? What?"
“If you don’t have a position, you won’t talk about right or wrong.”
Cavo said something very meaningful.
He naturally understood the meaning of Ren's words, which were meant to test his "position", so he said with a smile: "But I said, the current Kingdom of Glory has nothing to do with me. What they want to do is up to them. It’s your choice. What you want to do is also your choice.”
"oh?"
When Ren heard this, his eyebrows raised with joy.
Kavo's two inconsistent statements showed that he would not intervene in the fight.
There is no need for a master of this level to lie.
Of course, even if it's a scam, it doesn't matter.
This is the "icing on the cake" good news for tonight's battle.
... ... .
Most of the wine in the glass has gone down. Master Cavo seemed to like the taste of alcohol. He looked like a greedy little old man. He smiled and said to Renn: "Little friend Renn, can you have another glass of wine? This 'Supreme Jack' 'It tastes so good~"
"certainly."
Renn naturally asked the bartender to order new wine, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Cheers~"
The two clinked their glasses and drank up the remaining wine at the bottom of the glass.
"Clam... "
Master Cavo made a pleasant sound in his throat.
At this time, he said again: "When I met you, my initial thought was just that I didn't want to see you and a few old friends in danger, little Ren. Since you already know it, I won't say more."
Ren said sincerely: "Thank you, Master Cavo."
Kawo shook his head indifferently and said: "Of course, actually... this is not the reason why I came to the Black Wind Territory."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Ren showed doubts.
At this time, Cavo's gaze became a little deeper, making people seem to see the deep water bottom through the entrance. There was so much light and shadow there, I didn’t know what was there.
He sighed slightly and slowly said something that seemed to indicate something: "'Right' and 'Desire' are the most terrifying monsters. They can distort people's minds and plunge them into the abyss of sin..."
At this time, Cavo spoke of the real purpose of his visit to the "Black Wind Territory" this time, "I came here to see if those guys were really carried away by power; I also wanted to see if they, for power, How cruel it will be..."
Then, Cavo said a "purpose" that made Ren's face become more and more solemn.
It turns out that people from the five major families actually have such crazy back-up plans...
... ... .
More than an hour later.
The wine table was already filled with more than a dozen empty glasses with white foam remaining on the bottom.
It is rare to encounter such generous drinkers in this kind of tavern, and the tavern girl enthusiastically refilled their drinks again and again.
But Master Cavo seemed to be very happy when he drank, like a tipsy red-nosed wandering mage.
"Oh, is this little bird on your head the [Immortal Thunder Crow]? Oh my god, this is a rare elemental creature that only exists in mythology. Where did little friend Ren find it... You are so lucky."
"I really didn't expect that in just over a year, you who had just advanced to [Awakened One] at the 'Plague Base' would now have entered the high-level extraordinary realm..."
"..."
Ren and Cavo chatted and became more and more familiar with each other.
In fact, after getting acquainted with him, I found that this old man was actually quite amiable and had no airs of being an "invincible" master at all.
Renn doesn't have to be so serious when speaking, and he can even joke around from time to time.
"Master Cavo, how powerful are you now?"
"Me? I haven't used my full strength for many years..."
"Is it because your extraordinary power touches that limit and causes a 'space crack'?"
"Oh? You even know this?"
"Master Cavo, you are a senior I respect very much. But I still want to say, do you want to see the power of level five or above?"
"You... know the power path above the fifth level?"
"Actually, have you ever thought that this misty world is actually restricted by some kind of 'restriction'. All creatures cannot exceed level five, but the road to transcendence is actually far from the end..."
"You... have even observed this? In fact, over the years, I have researched from various ancient books and found out this fact. How did you know about it?"
"What if I say... I have now confirmed that there are sixth-level or even seventh-level beings beyond this mist?"
"..."
From the moment Ren knew that Cavo was "a friend, not an enemy", he couldn't hold back a thought in his mind.
Kavo was the lord of Glory City back then, but now the "best in the world" master is a lonely wandering mage.
Since we are not enemies, how about being "allies"
Not to mention letting him deal with Glory City, at least in the Kalatwa Basin where Black Dragon City is located, a dangerous place where giant dragons really exist, having such a great master will provide greater security in the future.
What's more, Master Cavo is not a representative person.
He represents the highest "spiritual leader" of the Free Mage lineage. If you get this person, you can get the support of the entire "Magician's Guild".
Black Dragon City also needs a complete magician training system.
"Master Cavo, if there is such a city that was built according to my original ideas, but it is still developing now, would you be willing to give me some advice?"
"In today's situation, it is not easy to build a new city."
"What if there is?"
"Actually, my dream is to be a magic teacher. If there was such a city, I think I would definitely be willing to visit it..."
"..."
Although Ren didn't explain, Cavo also guessed something.
In a few hours, "Black Dragon City" will appear and become a blockbuster.
No one can stop this.
