ps: Due to meeting, the next chapter is delayed.

In this area, it belongs to the officials during the day and to the butchers at night.

This has become a rule.

What are the underworld? They collect protection fees, bully the weak, traffic in people, and do all kinds of evil. But as long as they are not discovered, these things will never be known to others, and they are legal.

Dole sat in the corner, drinking the tasteless wine without any meaning, while observing his surroundings with his ears perked up to listen to the news.

The bar was indeed a good place to get information. His keen hearing could easily let him hear many things, such as what the noble did today, who beat whom, or killed whom, and where they were left, and who went out today and did what. Although it was very noisy here, Dolai wanted to listen carefully, and with his strong perception, he could still sense it.

After drinking for a while, he saw Carmen walking in from outside. He was very alert when he came in. After greeting a few thugs around him, he found a place to sit down.

Not long after the doorman sat down, a dark-skinned man sat down opposite him and the two talked in a low voice.

Dole has been here for a few days. He knows that this man is an important person of the butcher. The two are here to exchange information. Carmen gives the butcher some information, and the butcher gives Carmen some information to increase Carmen's crime-solving rate. Carmen also gives the butcher shelter.

This is how collusion between officials and bandits came about.

When Dole saw this, he came up with a plan. He originally wanted to poison Carmen directly here, but Carmen didn't take drugs, so he had no choice. If he had close contact with her, it would be easily sensed by the sharp detective, so he gave up this plan early.

The two talked for a while, and then the dark man left the table, leaving Carmen alone.

Dole sat for a while and left first.

When he arrived at the door, he didn't go too far away, but stood in the distance, waiting until Carmen came out.

He noted the time and followed her from a distance. After a few days, he had figured out Carmen's movements and information.

He knew Carmen's address, which was still in the East District.

Although Carmen is a detective, she is just a civilian.

There was a woman, a slave, and two sons aged five or six in the house.

Seeing this, his heart sank.

However, a fierce look soon flashed in his eyes. He wanted to die first. He didn't care about the life and death of his son and the woman. Even if they starved to death in the future, it would be his own fault.

He planned to repeat his old trick and secretly poison Carmen.

First understand his hobbies, then focus on them and try to avoid others. He poisoned the Odo family because there was nothing good about that family.

In this world, the lives of ordinary people are the least valuable. What is valuable is the life of the nobles. Killing a Bundy is worth 20 gold coins, but killing an ordinary person is probably more than 10 silver coins. Killing a detective may be a little risky, but it is not impossible.

After quietly returning home at night, Duolai calmed down and began to refine the mental power potion.

It was no longer difficult for him to make mental power potions. With the continuous improvement of his mental power, his perception of materials became more and more refined. The failure rate was basically very low. He had to refine it several times a month, and the success rate had almost increased to 60%.

This is only a first-level mental power potion, which is only useful for junior and intermediate apprentices. It is not so easy to refine a second-level mental power potion, which requires the mental power of a senior apprentice.

Dolai drinks one bottle about every five days, and his mental strength increases rapidly.

After a month, he could accumulate nearly thirty bottles of mental power potions, after deducting the ones for Lao Mi and Lily, the rest was just enough for himself, and he could not reveal his production.

It would be nice if there were other ways to sell these things.

The Killer Guild is a good channel, but you can't expose yourself easily. There are cold-blooded killers in it who will eat people without leaving any bones. If you reveal this information, you will probably be kidnapped in minutes and become a tool for making medicine.

When Dolai thought of this result, he felt a little scared.

It takes a long process to go from an intermediate wizard to a high-level wizard. From twenty-seven coins, it takes about eighty coins to reach the threshold of a high-level wizard. After a few months, he has accumulated forty coins, which is considered fast.

With the help of a large amount of mental potions, Duolai's training was actually not slow.

It is recorded in Naluye's book that this legendary figure took him one month to go from the beginner to the intermediate level, but it also took him almost half a year to go from the intermediate to the advanced level. It seems reasonable that it would take him a little longer.

…

When Cartier arrived at Mondo's blacksmith shop, he saw Dolai sitting there reading a book, with his entire face hidden by the book. This guy is quite relaxed now.

Having come here many times, the surrounding blacksmiths and apprentices all knew that the big shot Cartier was familiar with Dolai, and no one asked any questions.

"Little guy, you look very leisurely." He looked at Duolai. Duolai was now more than a head taller than he was six months ago. His muscles bulged and his skin was shiny black from the fire. He looked like a typical blacksmith.

Dolai put down the book, smiled innocently, and said, "Lord Cartier, what brings you here today?"

Kadija joked, "I won't look for you if there's nothing else. Come, fix it." He took out his sword, the same one he used last time.

Dolai is no longer the rookie he used to be and has a clear understanding of the warrior profession. As a first-level warrior, Kadiya is extremely powerful and has fighting spirit. Logically speaking, this ordinary iron sword without any special effects should have been unused long ago.

But he didn't ask, just took a look and called Anderson next to him to get some iron ore and refined copper.

Cardia lay in front of the forge and said with a smile, "Are you surprised that I'm using an ordinary iron sword?"

"I didn't ask!" Dole naturally denied it.

Cardia smiled and said, "Swordsmen fight mostly with martial arts skills. They don't use special powers. They fight purely with skills. If it's a serious fight, I have other weapons to use."

Dolai had never seen anyone fight with swords, so naturally he didn't know about this. He was unfamiliar with the warrior and wizard professions.

He nodded and said jokingly, "You fight frequently. You come to repair it every few days. In a year, the investment in our Mondo Blacksmith Shop alone will be a lot of money."

Kadija showed a mysterious look, "Then do you know how much I charge for a sword fight?"

Dolai thought about it. Given the nature of nobles, could it be that a lot of money at once? He guessed, "Ten gold coins?"

Kadija vomited blood, "I worked so hard to earn only ten gold coins?"

When Dolai heard this, he immediately understood that the life of a swordsman is in danger, especially for someone like Kadiya who is considered a top swordsman in Dormont City, so he said, "It seems that the starting minimum is not less than 50 gold coins." This is also the normal annual salary plus pension for a first-level warrior in Dormont City.

Katya was a little surprised. This little guy has a very vicious mind.

He nodded, coughed, and said with shining eyes, "Do you want to learn sword fighting from me?"

Hearing this, the blacksmiths around were shocked.

Duolai was also a little surprised. I am working as a blacksmith here, earning a basic living allowance of 30 silver coins a month, plus commissions. Why should I learn sword skills from you?

He shook his head like a rattle, "I don't like fighting with others, so forget it."

Kadiya almost vomited blood. You don’t like fighting, but you have killed several people, okay?
