In the civilian area adjacent to the Saint-Neubourg business district, in the cellar of an ordinary householder, Victor who sneaked into it cast a four-ring exclusive spell "Victor's Hideaway Sanctuary".

Spell description: The caster (Victor) conjures a strong hut without any spell fluctuations. It is built with common materials (such as dirt) at the place where the spell is cast. In all respects, this cabin resembles a normal cabin, with a solid door, two shutters, and a small fireplace.
This shelter has a strong concealment, it can be perfectly disguised to blend into any surface and appropriate surrounding environment. It may appear as a large rock at the height of a building in a rock or mountain area, or it may appear as a sand dune in the desert, or a dense tangled bush, a grassy hill, or even a stout tree.
In this hidden cabin that only lasts eight hours, Victor plans the next move.
"No matter what angle you think of, this secret contact with the Northland Alliance is a very bad thing! This means that the Eternal Temple has noticed the little movements of the nobles..."
Victor frowned and thought, "I lack the necessary information and I am unfamiliar with the place of life. I am very passive. If I can't establish a covenant as soon as possible and pull out the power of the Eternal Temple in the north, the Magic Society will be trapped in the narrow coastal area. In the zone, and this is extremely detrimental to the future development of the society!"
"If it drags on for a while, not only will the nobles be cleansed by the temple, but the Magic Society will also face the two sides of the eternal temple!"
"The question now is, how can I re-establish contact with the nobles of the Northland Alliance?"
Victor paced back and forth in the room in the hut. He kept as calm as possible for a mage. Only in this way could he find a glimmer of hope in the crisis.
"Let me think about it, in this city... what kind of people are there for me?"
"A few other'messenger teams'? Or... Cecilia?"
At this moment, Victor suddenly thought of the noble girl who is very talented in the field of mathematics and science, "But if you ask her for help, it will definitely bring her unnecessary risks!"
"No! This method should be used as a backup plan..."
After thinking about it, Victor finally decided to start with the gangsters at the bottom of the city. As a local snake, they would definitely have a set of unique methods.
…
The Fyadi Brotherhood is one of many gangs in Saint-Neubourg. This group of less than fifty members only controls a few blocks in the city.
Ruth Walker, one of the leaders of the Fiyadi Brotherhood, is mainly active at night, leading his men to robbery and steal. In this way, he can easily get the money needed to survive and maintain the status of the gang. Sometimes, he will use his terrible looks and muscles to be hired by others. After all, a hideous gang leader can cause panic to the victim more than a gang member.
That night, Ruth Walker braved the danger led by the fire in the business district to commit crimes alone. He planned to take advantage of the chaos during this period of time to search for as much money as possible.
Avoiding the patrol routes of city law enforcement officers and avoiding the areas that the priests of the temple focused on, Ruth quietly came out of his own jurisdiction along a dark alley with complicated road conditions.
"Hey! In the recent period, the cooper's business has been booming... I heard that the old guy is terribly hurting his daughter. Just threaten him and I can make a lot of money!"
With evil thoughts, Ruth Walker's footsteps took greater steps.
Soon, Ruth, as a local snake, sneaked up to the front of the cooper's house. Just when he was about to smash the door and threaten him, a guy in a black cloak appeared beside him.
"Who are you?"
Ruth's heart was startled, he quickly scanned the surroundings, and found no other people.
"Why? Do you want to eat black? You guys don't even inquire about the name of my "Black Hand" Ruth..."
Taking a look at the thin black-robed man in front of him, Ruth was determined in his heart, and he threatened with a fierce face: "Boy! If you are acquainted, give it to me..."
However, before Ruth could finish speaking, he saw the eyes of the black-robed man hiding in the shadows emitting a weird red light.
After a trance, Ruth, who had returned to normal, suddenly felt that the black-robed man in front of him was extraordinarily kind, like a close friend worthy of his trust.
"Hi!" Ruth greeted kindly, "What a coincidence tonight, I can meet you here!"
The black-robed man let out a deep laugh: "Hehe, Ruth! You guy's vision is too bad... What kind of oil and water can there be? Go! Take me to your residence, I have a big deal here to take You do it together!"
"What? Big business?" Ruth Walker rubbed his hands excitedly: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"What do you lie to? If it weren't for this transaction that requires enough manpower, I still need to come to you for help..."
The black-robed man sneered, "Hurry up! Let's talk as we walk."
"Okay! Let's go back now..."
Under the influence of the spell "Charm Human", Ruth, who could not remember the other's name, hurriedly returned to the secret stronghold of the Fyadi Brotherhood with the black-robed man.
Without knowing it, the cooper family avoided a financial disaster.
…
In a dark and dirty hotel, more than thirty members of the Fyadi Brotherhood were called together by Ruth Walker.
"Ruth! What the hell is so anxious about?"
Another head of the Fiyadi Brotherhood said uncomfortably: "I am going to rest!"
"Boss Barney, I found you in Belinda's bed..."
"Hahaha… "
The members of the Fyadi Brotherhood burst into laughter.
"Boss Barney, aren't you exercising? How come you are resting?"
"Belinda's kung fu is great! Boss Barney, you haven't been drained by her, are you?"
"Nonsense! Boss Barney has a lot of tricks. Who can squeeze it out?"
"..."
Some exasperated Barney cursed a few words: "Shut up all to me! You unfamiliar group of white-eyed wolves!"
"Who is this guy?"
Barney pointed to the black-robed man standing beside Ruth and asked.
"Oh, he! He is..."
Ruth opened his mouth, but didn't know how to introduce it.
"Ha ha ha... Does it matter who I am?"
The black robe man smiled and said: "I think the important thing is that I can bring you a lot of valuable income!"
"Well, let me introduce myself... My name is Vic, a black market merchant."
