Cold and wind city, aristocratic area.

The small dark room around the corner, the door frame creaked.

Powell showed half of his face from behind the door. Outside was a dark street, with only the sound of wind passing by, and there was no ghost. But the former spy still carefully flashed out and looked around.

There was still a person standing in the shadow behind the door, whispering in a hoarse voice: "Powell, you'd better leave the south gate. Be careful not to meet the evil dogs of the 'rich and strong leader', they have a good sense of smell."

Powell did not look back, nor did he reply, his figure disappeared into the darkness and sneaked away.

When it gets dark, the city loses its vitality.

There was not even a torch at the intersection, and all residents closed their doors and windows, turned off the lights, and strictly guarded against thieves and disasters.

In the past, there were guards from the Inspection Office in Hanfeng City to maintain public order, but now the powerful families in the city are fighting in internal conflicts, and basic public services are paralyzed.

The streets are winding, the road surface is bumpy, and it is disrepaired for a long time.

The same is true for the northern city where the nobles live. Powell did not dare to light the torch, and was reluctant to drink night vision potion, so he could only rely on his years of familiarity with the streets to move forward slowly.

The only light in the city comes from the Wizard's Tower. The top of the tower will light up flames at night and can be seen within ten kilometers. This is used to indicate the direction of the city at night and is also a monitoring method.

But Powell had to avoid the light on the top of the tower and tried to hide in the darkness. Because his mission was to contact the long-legged family, this job was not easy to do.

The coup in Hanfeng City is the biggest change in the North in decades.

After being expelled, the long-legged family had to bow to the Buqi family in the Banshee Castle in the south. In addition, surrounding cities such as Broken Bridge City and Thick Mist City expressed concern.

The superiors seemed to see the opportunity to expand, and all expressed their willingness to help Changlemen regain their territory, severely punish rebellion, and restore the glory of the ruler.

Philes, who has long legs, is also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. As long as he can provide assistance, he agrees to all conditions, and restoring his family is the priority for everything.

Powell returned to Hanfeng City under such circumstances. He wanted to spy on the situation in the city, and to win over the internal response, and prepare for the upcoming war.

Things went smoothly beyond imagination.

The rebels led by the Arad family were in civil strife themselves. They quarreled for so-called power, and months were wasted.

The city is not prepared and its forces are not integrated, and the hidden contradictions are instead stimulated.

If the rebels keep quarreling like this, the road to restoration of the long-legged family will be as relaxed as a game. Once the battle flag is displayed, you can win without fighting.

Powell ran back quietly, contacted several small nobles first, and then talked to several large nobles. Everyone was dissatisfied with the status quo and began to miss the time when the long-legged family ruled.

Many people promised that as long as Pheles and the long-legged army came, they could immediately surrender again as long as they did not care about the rebellion they had done a few months ago.

The cold northern land is the territory of the Frost Goddess, and everyone lies and scammers in the back and stabs them like playing.

Powell knew that the words of the powerful were not trustworthy, but he believed that as long as the situation forced the rebels, the rebels would make the right choice, no matter what, the ruthless Pheles and long legs would not let them go.

But all the situations in Hanfeng City can be estimated, and the only variables are Victor Hugo and his "rich and strong leader".

As long as this name is mentioned, Powell always remembers the massacre he experienced at the Moulin Mound Bar a few months ago. All the rogue villains in the bar were spared and all died.

Until now, the underground forces of Hanfeng City have not been restored, and they are even weaker. Because the strength of the "Rich and Strong Leader" has completely eroded Hanfeng City.

The "Harmony Chamber of Commerce" is rich and powerful, and has good relations with all forces. The little nobles, wizards and even the little citizens were all attracted by the gold coins of the Chamber of Commerce.

When Powell came back, he thought that without the Inspection Office and the Supervision Office, there should be thieves everywhere in the city and bullies rampant. But in fact, the market is more stable.

No one collects taxes and bribes, no one bullies the weak, no one sets up checkpoints, no one arrests in the middle of the night, no one can catch them, no one can sleep peacefully, no one can do anything poor or rich.

The city gates are open 24 hours a day, with great convenience in population circulation and several times more prosperous business.

Heavy carriages ran around, reducing freight rates to less than one-third of the past. This alone would not be possible for anyone to refuse to do business with the "Harmony Chamber of Commerce".

When ordinary residents value the discounts brought by orders, those who truly understand the industry are surprised by the logistics changes brought by heavy carriages.

Of course, there are many people, many businesses, and many people steal and rob.

But Victor Hugo did not give any space to exist in the underground forces.

No matter who it is, he will not survive for three days in Hanfeng City because there is a well-equipped and well-informed hunting team that specifically deals with unstable factors.

Hanfeng City is the commercial market and source of labor for "rich and strong leaders". It doesn't matter if the powerful and powerful people die in internal strife. Just don't mess up the city. Uncle Zhou still has to do business here.

Victor Hugo, who is relatively difficult to meet, and Powell is even more afraid of Adrian hiding in the dark of the city.

The clown who has been in the market for many years is that he has organized a capable and powerful hunting team to eliminate all the monsters and monsters who are trying to cause chaos in the cold wind city.

Even the powerful people in the city realized that Lord Hugo had a secret manpower to prevent them from expanding civil unrest and maintaining the basic operation of Hanfeng City, so as not to be in conflict.

The powerful and powerful who attempted to make trouble in secret respectfully respected Deputy Speaker Hugo in the Hall of Winter, and secretly called him the source of disaster. Adrian's team was even called "evil dog".

Powell turned a street corner and had to be careful of his safety. He was not sure that he was not targeted, because the "evil dogs" were very well-informed and his eyes were everywhere in the city.

No one in Hanfeng City is reliable for street vendors, cooks from powerful families, and even some low-level knights who secretly defect to them, because the power of money is infinite.

Walking quietly for a few streets, Powell arrived in front of a low bungalow. He knocked rhythmically on the narrow wooden window, while alerting the surroundings.

The wooden bungalow is short and simple, with wooden windows that are just holes the size of a personal head, tied inside.

After the knock, rustling sounds sounded inside the house.

Someone asked the code inside, but Powell turned to the back door of the bungalow and had a trap, which was specially used to deal with the "evil dog" who came to raid.

The back door is very narrow, allowing only one person to enter sideways.

Standing behind the door was an adventurer holding a light crossbow. Her appearance was no different from that of ordinary citizens, and she didn't look like a villain.

The Changle Family hired many similar adventurers to pretend to be various identities and sneak into Hanfeng City. After they arrived, they fought a cruel battle with Adrian's hunting team, and both sides were killed and injured.

The dim lantern was lit in the room. After recognizing Powell's face, the crossbow holder breathed a sigh of relief.

Close the back door, the man spoke, "Mr. Powell, I heard a special news from several apprentices in the Wizard Tower today.

The apprentices were rumored that after Victor Hugo controlled the alchemy system, he recruited twenty or thirty low-level wizards and apprentices, and also purchased a large amount of magic materials.

The recruited wizard and apprentice were locked in the chief laboratory for almost two months and have not come out. Many people thought they were all dead during the magic experiment.

But yesterday they were released on vacation for half a day. Someone revealed some information, saying that Your Excellency Hugo was creating a super magical machine, which was very powerful and was about to succeed.

Many people in the Wizard Tower were very interested in this news. However, the wizards on vacation refused to disclose more. They said they were only allowed to disclose this information and could not say anything else."

After saying this, the crossbow holder whispered: "This seems to be a mystery and deliberately spreading some news to scare people. Maybe Victor Hugo wants to use this to stabilize people's hearts, after all, the city is in chaos now."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

Powell's forehead was pounding, and his heart was pounding. He remembered something that the prophecy chief old banker told him to investigate specifically before returning to Hanfeng City.

Old Bank's face was as dark as the time, and his tone was low.

"The power of magic is revealing the future to me. I see groups of light cavalry traversing the wilderness, red flags fluttering in the wind, and the untouchables put on heavy armor, lined up in the square formation.

This all comes from a powerful magical machine that is about to be born in Cold Wind City. If possible, find a way to destroy it. Once it is made into shape, war will be everywhere in the north."
