As for official wizards, they do not engage in production. They either hold important positions in port cities or conduct magic research in a workshop. They are high-ranking figures.
In short, these 300 people are stealing business wherever they go.
The reason why I was in such a bad situation was, of course, because I had never robbed anyone...
There's no way around it. They all have backers. They're either connected to a magic workshop or are relatives of a wizard.
Only he doesn't!
What else can they do if they can't win? Of course, they hold back! So they have suffered a lot in the past half month and lost some people, but fortunately, they have also learned a lot of intelligence. Relying on the dozens of powerful crossbows they brought, they barely managed to gain a foothold in the South City District.
However, this is obviously not a solution. Even though the people he brought with him are all trustworthy confidants, if they cannot make a breakthrough, they can only rely on the meager relief food to get by, and even the most solid relationship of trust will inevitably be cracked.
After listening to Lord's complaints, Lin En finally understood the underlying rules of Yieta Harbor. It can only be said that he has not yet learned to look at the world with a magical mindset, and many things are constantly refreshing his cognition.
"In addition, we can't gain a foothold in the South City without your help!" Lord said flatteringly.
“It seems that you have been doing things under my name a lot during this period of time…” Lin En’s tone suddenly turned cold. He didn’t want to provoke any enemies for no reason.
"No, of course not. It's just that many people know that we followed you through the Sea of Fog and defeated the Great Whirlpool..."
Lord hurriedly shook his head, saying that it was all the extra effect of rumors in the market, and they dared not do that. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his right hand again and said tentatively, "And our cooperation has not been interrupted, right?"
Lin En immediately saw the extremely obvious flame-shaped mark on the back of Lord's hand, and his expression was stunned.
He had actually forgotten about this matter before. After all, this magic mark actually had no effect. It was purely used to intimidate the other party into being obedient.
However, Lin En did not expose this. After thinking for a while, he took out a purse from his robe and threw it to Loud. "Here are ten magic gold coins, which are the cost of intelligence and follow-up tracking."
Lord took it with great joy. If he was still in the port town of the Sekas Empire, ten magic gold coins would be nothing to him.
But it’s different now. Having lost most of his property in the [Eye of Death], he has been supporting so many people and has long been unable to make ends meet. This money can at least alleviate his urgent needs.
What is more important is the other party's statement, which means that they have re-established a cooperative relationship.
"Next, keep an eye on the apprentice's whereabouts. Do you know where he is hiding now?" Lin En asked.
"The other party was very cautious, and the people I sent to track him accidentally lost him. But I think his injuries haven't healed, and he will probably go there again next time." Lord hurriedly explained.
Lin En nodded. "When he shows up next time, send someone to notify me immediately. Also, I need to know this person's identity and information, as detailed as possible!"
Lord agreed immediately. During this period of time, he got to know many well-informed whistlers. He was just an apprentice wizard, and everything would be easy as long as he had money.
"It's Viper Lei Luo. He's the leader of the gang in the South City area. He's been transformed by magic and is very difficult to deal with. Last time we lost a lot of manpower before we repelled his attack..."
Lord explained the whole story in general. When he first came to the Yieta Port, he wanted to go back to his old job and engage in cargo trading, but who would have thought that this business had already been contracted out to several bigwigs.
After going around in circles, he finally had no choice but to join a low-level gang.
The reason why he chose to seize [Viper] Lei Luo's territory was naturally because the other party's forces were the weakest and he did not have any strong enough backing.
"That is to say, you are facing a lot of trouble now... Is there any way to solve it?" Lin En asked.
"It's enough that you're here today!" Lord said cautiously.
Lin En was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood what the other party meant. He did not disguise himself when he entered the South City District, and anyone with an eye would probably get the news.
If the previous news that the [Ship Gang] had contact with him was just a rumor, now it is confirmed.
"Is my name already so famous?" Lin En couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Now the whole Yieta knows that you are a three-ring wizard who is less than 20 years old, and your talent is even higher than that of Master Ogest of the [Magic Star]..."
Lord was not stingy with his praise. As early as the great battle in Harbor Town, he knew that this young wizard in front of him would never be an unknown person after arriving in the wizarding land. He just didn't expect that he would become famous in just half a month.
There are even rumors that in addition to the hellfire that seems to be able to burn everything, the other party also possesses a powerful magic that can freeze everything.
Facing Lord's praise, Lin En didn't care much. He was very clear about his current strength. Without the help of the intelligent brain, it would be difficult for him to deal with a formal wizard.
And it is obvious that not everyone can bear this title. At least [Bloody Thorn] dares to do these little tricks behind the scenes.
While thinking about it, Lin En continued to inquire about the information about the South City District and those magic workshops. Lord had no intention of keeping anything to himself and decisively told him all the information he had learned in the past few days.
The more Lin En listened, the more surprised he was, because things like spending money on magic transformation were not uncommon in the South City. Some magic workshops were even conducting some more horrifying magic experiments, so that people would inexplicably disappear every once in a while.
"The order in South City is so chaotic, doesn't the security team care?" Lin En asked puzzledly.
"For those wizards, as long as there is no trouble in the main city, they don't bother to pay attention to such things..." Lord shook his head.
To put it bluntly, these people who can't play much of a role are just tools that wizards keep in captivity for studying magic.
