Deville is not in Snow Rock City at this time. He has been idle since the last guild mission and is busy running family business these days. His father, Old Deville, was very satisfied with his son, so he not only strongly supported his practice on the path of magic, but also continued to cultivate his business acumen, as if he was training him as the next generation patriarch.
Thanks to Deville's very good talent, he is not only highly accomplished in the field of magic, but also very good at dealing with people.
At this time, Deville was negotiating business with another merchant in Bishui City, the trade center of the human world.
The city is as its name suggests. The name Bishui City comes from the Bishui Plain. It is located in the center of the Bishui Plain and has a unique geographical location. Thousands of years ago, Bishui City had always been the central city of mankind in the eastern continent, and a large number of chambers of commerce came here to conduct transactions. This rich and luxurious city was once the largest city in mankind.
However, with the deliberate support of the Mercenary Alliance and the Eyes of the Arcane, Falling Star City gradually showed its prominence, and later the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild also joined in the construction of Falling Star City. Thanks to the construction of the three major forces, Meteor City replaced Bishui City and became the largest city in mankind. But even so, Bishui City is still a trading paradise with the largest number of merchants.
De Vere was looking at the account books silently, thinking about the loss of the family's business. He had driven all the attendants outside because he was used to thinking in the quietest environment.
"This batch of healing potions is of good quality. We can use this to increase the selling price by ten silver coins. I believe the impact on sales will not be great." Deville picked up the quill and made a note under the account book, but then, a chill came over him. Use your heart.
Deville raised his hands, assuming the least threatening posture, and then said with a wry smile: "You came to me after all."
"You don't seem to be surprised." Regnar appeared behind Deville at some point. If he had made a sneak attack just now, Deville, a level 14 mage, would probably have been seriously injured even if he had not died.
"Of course... can I turn around? It's very uncomfortable to have a person standing behind you." Deville said, although he was now controlled by Regnar, he didn't show any panic at all.
"Can."
Deville turned around and saw Regner's handsome face. He was wearing a dark blue tight-fitting night suit, but without a mask.
"Did you tell the truth about Fars's death?" Regnar asked straight to the point. Only two people would leak the news about Fars's death. One was Balor, and the other was right in front of him. Deville.
Therefore, Regner actually came here to see Deville's attitude. Although he is only an eleventh-level assassin, he is still quite confident when facing a fourteenth-level mage like Deville. After all, he was the one who killed two high-level strong men on his own.
"Before answering this question, I want to know the purpose of your coming here. Do you want to take revenge on me?" Deville seemed very leisurely. Although he had not been with Regnar for a long time, he still had a certain understanding of this guy's character. .
"Answer me first." Regnar was not moved at all.
"Okay." Deville lowered his head seriously to apologize: "I'm sorry, I did confirm this to the guild, but I didn't propose it on my own initiative. The guild suddenly asked me about it a few days ago Lord Horadric seemed very angry about the death of Fars, so under pressure from him, I could only choose to tell the truth."
"You seem to have a clear conscience." Regnar said coldly.
"I had no choice but to do this at the time. Believe me, I really don't want to be your enemy, but I can't hide it. It's too easy for the guild to detect whether a person is lying." Deville said helplessly: "Look, I know that you may come back to me in the next few days, but I still haven't revealed anything to the guild, or sent anyone from the family to protect me. This can already prove my sincerity. Repeat again, I really I don’t want to be your enemy, I just had to do this. If my actions have put you in danger, I can only apologize and give you a certain amount of compensation."
"I don't need your apology!" Regnar's murderous intention suddenly surged. Even though several days had passed, Regnar still felt a surge of anger when he recalled the miserable scene of the Jerhart family again.
De Vere's heart froze. Regnar's unabashed murderous intention made him feel cold. Did he really want to kill him? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but put his hand on the table. There was a stone skin scroll under the table. Of course, he would not be so stupid as to completely bet his life on understanding Regnar. This Stoneskin Technique was also one of his preparations.
"But I need your compensation." Regnar's murderous intention completely dissipated in an instant. There was no hatred in his eyes when he looked at Deville, but only a bit of pain and sadness.
"You tell me, as long as it's not beyond my ability, I will help you." Naturally, Deville would not think that the compensation that Regna came here to ask for was a few bags of gold coins.
"..." Regnar was silent for a moment, and then said, "Do you know what happened in Yorktown a few days ago?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have such a low profile towards you. Naibir and that Krat are both quite famous figures in Eyes of the Mystery, but I didn't expect that they were both killed by you alone. "Deville nodded. Although his reason still made him have a skeptical attitude towards this matter, his intuition told him that all this was true.
"Yes, I did it all. But that's not the point." Regnar said: "That scumbag Naibir once killed my friend's family in order to learn about my whereabouts. All my brothers and sisters were dead, except for one. My sister survived.”
"So what do you mean?" Deville didn't know why. He couldn't figure out why Regner suddenly mentioned this.
"That sister is following me now, but you also know that people like me can't give her a stable life at all. So, I hope you or your family can take care of her and give her a peaceful and stable life."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple, but it's not simple either." Regnar threatened: "I hope she can live happily in the future. If I hear that you have done anything bad to her, I will definitely come back. Looking for you!"
"Okay, okay, you sound like daddy wants to marry his precious daughter to me." Deville raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"..." Regnar was silent for a moment: "She is still young, so don't think about this kind of thing yet."
"Hey! I'm just joking." Deville became anxious when he saw Regner's serious expression on his face: "I treat her as my sister and treat her as my own sister, right? Don't think about it for no reason. This determines my life’s events!”
"This is the best." Hearing that Deville agreed, Regnar finally breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt that he owed the Gerhart family a lot these days. Now that he finally made some compensation, this made him feel It felt somewhat better.
"Huh, you scared me just now. Okay, what about the people? Did you bring them this time?" Deville also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Of course not. She is still in Falling Star City. I dare not hand her over to you easily before confirming your attitude." Regnar shook his head.
"What? Meteor City?" Deville was stunned: "Are you still living in Meteor City now?"
"Yes, what's the problem?"
"Didn't our guild cause you trouble?" Deville asked again.
"At least I don't remember anything. Nothing unusual happened after we came back. The Eyes of Mystery seemed to turn a deaf ear to what happened in York Town," Regner said.
De Vere's face showed a bit of solemnity: "But I advise you not to let down your guard. My friend, you have never been in the Eye of the Mystery, so you may not know much about Horadric's character. But I do understand it to a certain extent. , he is a very defensive person. Previously, someone was framed by Horadric and kicked out of the guild because he offended Fars. Now you have not only killed his most outstanding disciple, Fars, but also his most recent disciple. Strong disciple Nabil. I think it is impossible for Horadik to forget such a deep hatred."
"But the Eyes of the Secret Magic did not respond at all to our return. Not only did it not respond, there was no hindrance to us even if we exchanged the orc ears for gold coins." Regnar was slightly uneasy. After hearing what Deville said, he realized that the Secret Magic His eyes seemed too calm.
Deville shook his head: "But I hope you still pay attention. This matter will never end like this. You must be careful!"
Regnar glanced at Deville: "You seem to really care about us?"
"Every gentleman will worry about the safety of the goddess in his heart." Deville hinted that he actually cared about Annelotte.
"Don't think about it, your goddess doesn't care about you at all." Regnar said expressionlessly.
"When you get back, say hello to Miss Annelotte for me, and say that Deville will always keep Miss Annelotte's voice and smile in your heart." Deville didn't care about Regner's ridicule at all.
"I won't tell you." Regnar refused without hesitation. He turned and looked out the window: "Okay, then that's it. I'm leaving. I will give you Inelise in two days. come over."
"Inelise? What a good name." Deville said with a smile: "I will stay here for half a month. You can just come to me when the time comes. Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
"I hope you won't break your promise." Regnar said softly, then opened the window and disappeared into the night.
"What a thief. Can't we just go through the main entrance?" Deville murmured.
