    "Uh-huh," a groan came from under several layers of thick wet cloth. Not far away, officials of the Tutkel Commercial Republic were watching the good show in front of them with their hands folded.  The interrogator, whose breathing was severely obstructed, struggled desperately with all his strength.  But no matter how much effort he expended, he couldn't do anything to help his situation.  Because the attacker, who was fixed on the teak interrogation chair, had his arms and legs tied tightly with beef tendon ropes.  As he continued to struggle, the water-soaked tendon rope became tighter and tighter.  After a while, the ambusher's wrist was cut with two deep purple marks.  Just when the struggle was about to disappear, the interrogator, who had been watching the show with his chest crossed, immediately stepped forward and removed the wet cloth covering his face.  The interrogator, who finally saw the light of day again, immediately gasped and greedily breathed in the turbid air around him.  "How is it? Are you willing to say it? What happens next is not that simple." The interrogator waved the wet cloth and slapped his palms with a smile. "Maybe you like me to tie this thing in knots."  Then stuff it into your throat. " "I said I said" After just experiencing a test on the verge of death, the interrogated attacker wisely chose to cooperate.  ¡°Similar incidents continue to take place in the Public Security Bureau of Port Wilbos. Even tough men can be squeezed out of their hands by professionals.  It didn't take long for them to shake out everything they knew like beans from a bamboo tube.  "Steward Brierley was actually taken away by those guys." After confirming the news, Master Murphy sighed: "Does he know some secrets that we don't know?" "No matter what those guys brought,  What is the purpose of taking Brierley's body? We must report this matter to the Earl immediately. Even if there is anything we don't know, there will definitely be relevant records in the territory." Knight Morpheus stared at Murphy.  When the mage said this, he seemed to be urging the other party to contact the territory immediately.  ¡°Don¡¯t think that it¡¯s okay because the other party took away the body of Steward Brierley.  In front of a true Necromantic Spellcaster, a corpse is far easier to tell the truth than a living person.  Moreover, the production cost of space props specially designed to hold dead bodies is much lower than that of general-purpose ones.  Therefore, turning the target person into a corpse and taking him away becomes a feasible solution.  Barrett, who was standing behind the door, also understood at this time: "But I didn't hear any further plans against us from them, which can be considered a blessing in the misfortune." "It's a pity that the middle and high-level people among the ambushers are all  I don¡¯t know where I have escaped through the teleportation spell. The one with the highest status is the one left behind by Barrett. If there is a big conspiracy, they may not know it.¡± But Knight Morpheus was not disturbed by this.  Take it lightly.  "Anyway, we can't stay in Tutkel Commercial Republic until the matter is investigated and come to light before going back." Barrett shrugged, "In this case, we might as well return to the territory as soon as possible. If there is really  We can also help with any action against the Bolum Territory." "Okay! Barrett, you don't need to comfort us. We have seen this situation too many times. We should go back. This is not the case.  It will affect our decision." Mage Murphy smiled and nodded at Barrett, and then he felt something knocking on his chest.  Although Barrett and others felt very heavy about the deaths of Steward Brierley and those members of the envoy.  But this does not affect the time of the Bolum Fleet. Captain Caplin's preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner, as if they are carried out according to the plan.  When Knight Morpheus and his party left the port for reinforcements, Captain Caplin's careful vigilance was considered to be useless. The strength he used to ambush the envoy before was useless. Now, after investing so much power, he no longer has the ability to fight in two places.  .  But no one thinks it¡¯s a waste to spend such effort.  Even though there is nothing going on now, if we are attacked when we are not prepared, the loss will definitely be much more serious than this delayed work.  Fortunately, the previous preparations were almost in progress, and the three frigates 'Silver Sword Hero', 'Mithril Core' and 'Iron Curtain Barrier' finally set off on the third day after the attack.  Having completed the scheduled work, the Bolum Fleet returned northward. Although the three frigates suffered considerable losses during this journey, they finally did not disappoint the Earl.  The cooperation between the Bolum Territory and the Tutkel Merchant Republic had begun before their departure, and the huge benefits that followed would make this cooperation continue for a long time.  Barrett, who was sitting in the official cabin, looked at what he had done during the battle three days ago.A personal trophy to be won.  He first rubbed the delicate bunch of gold leaves in his hand and fell asleep. Then he clasped his hands together, and the gold leaves were stacked layer by layer and finally turned into a thick pocket book.  ¡®Spell books with this shape are really rare.  The guy I killed actually used it as a belt. I really don¡¯t know what kind of mentality he had?  ¡¯ Barrett, who thought of this, threw the spell book into the space bag.  The wizard¡¯s magic books are all kinds of strange. In addition to the common brick books, there are also types such as stone tablets or leather scrolls.  It is not a strange type to have this kind of gold leaf appearing now.  Generally speaking, spell books with special shapes like this basically have spell protection.  Most people have no way of reading its content, let alone mastering its special effects.  Fortunately, among the people involved in the operation this time, there was an arcane master like Master Murphy.  Barrett handed over all the trophies he had obtained previously to him for screening and identification.  Of course, this kind of work must be charged. Fortunately, Master Murphy is very interested in the spells in this spell book.  That's why Barrett's wallet will not be completely wiped out.  Through the identification of Master Murphy, Barrett understood that this spell book contains four 5-ring spells: 'Breaking Barrier', 'Expelling Spell', 'Lesser Alien Oath Binding' and 'Assassin's Attendant', as well as more numbers.  There are many 4th and 3rd level spells.  Among them, 'Break the Barrier', 'Expulsion Technique', and 'Lesser Alien Oath Binding' are all relatively common types of spells, which are widely spread in the Western Continent and are not difficult to learn.  But the spell 'Assassin's Attendant' is quite rare, and even Master Murphy was very happy when he saw it.  According to Master Murphy¡¯s explanation, Barrett knew that the ¡®Assassin¡¯s Attendant¡¯ was also called the Light Assassin.  The caster summons a vaguely humanoid being made of yellow light, which wields a glowing dagger and moves with graceful yet eerie movements.  First, the 'Light Charm Assassin' will appear above a single creature within the range of the spell. It will fall from above with a fierce stab. The assassin will attack when it falls. The target creature will be regarded as being caught off guard to withstand the initial attack.  The assassin will then be positioned next to the target creature in any position that can accommodate it.  And after the initial attack, it can launch a series of attacks on the target. More importantly, it can fight intelligently without the command of the caster.  In the end, if the creature escapes, the assassin will pursue the target in the most effective way.  If the creature dies or leaves the spell's range, the assassin will stop and wait for the caster to designate another creature as a new target.  However, apart from attacking creatures and waiting, the user cannot order the assassin to do anything else, nor can he order the assassin to attack other creatures while the target is alive and within the spell's range.  The assassin and his equipment disappear when the spell's duration expires.  According to Master Murphy, although it is a level 5 spell, the creature that can be summoned by the spell 'Assassin's Attendant' is only equivalent to a human rogue with a challenge level of around 3.  It is impossible to use him to confront him.  But even with all the problems, this summoning spell with a short casting time can still work wonders in certain situations.  Especially when used to deal with other spell casters, you have the opportunity to buy yourself a certain amount of time.  Not to mention the mage¡¯s most demanding desire for novel spells.  Even if it's a useless spell, as long as it's something they haven't learned before, there will always be mages willing to spend money to learn it.  Therefore, this spell can not only be learned by Rielli, but can also be sold to the family in exchange for some contribution. Barrett has confirmed from Georgie that this spell is not in the family's warehouse.  Of course, that special-shaped magic book not only records most of the spells mastered by the spellcaster.  It's also a pretty cool curio in its own right.  Once per day, activating it makes the caster's spells more difficult to save against.  It can be regarded as a simple and practical ability.  But in comparison, the necklace owned by the spellcaster is more valuable in terms of its magical effect alone.  When the user activates the necklace's effects once per day, they are able to fill their lungs with swirling, burning energy.  Then with a powerful exhale, the user can sweep the space in front of them with a fierce cone of flames.  As the last ray of energy leaves his lips, the user's body becomes part of the breath weapon, allowing him to travel through space and reconstruct his body anywhere within the range of the breath weapon.  The user can spray out a cone of fire that causes 8-48 fire damage. When using this spell, he can also choose to become part of the breath weapon and teleport to any unoccupied space within the range of the breath weapon.  Location.  and is immune to any damage from this fire.  UserIt doesn't even have to be that the entire body is within the range of the breath, as long as the space he newly occupies overlaps at least partially with the range of the breath weapon.  Items he wears or carries that do not exceed the weight limit are teleported with him.  However, it cannot carry any other creatures.  This is a special effect that combines displacement and damage.  Although the effects of the two are limited, if they are combined into one, they can still have very good effects.  This rare item alone is worth a large amount of cash, and more importantly, Barrett thinks it can replace his comfortable cloak.  Although Barrett himself has a lot of displacement abilities, these are all based on the effects of quick action.  In any case, it is a traceable physical charge, and the teleportation effect caused by the fire caused by this strange object can cover up Barrett's shortcomings when necessary.  Not to mention that its flame breath can also make up for Barrett's lack of group damage ability to a certain extent.  In fact, if it weren¡¯t for the spellcaster who was killed by Barrett, he didn¡¯t react in time.  Otherwise, he might be able to escape from Barrett's blade just by relying on this rare object. After all, in the previous environment, he had too many targets to choose from.  If this guy distances himself, Barrett may not chase after him.  But it seems that too much money has been invested in this cloak, so that except for an intelligence headband, there is no decent rare item left on the guy.  Of course, there are a lot of consumables such as scrolls and potions, but for Barrett, there is nothing useful.  As for the other spellcaster who was captured by Barrett.  After being plundered by Barrett, he immediately surrendered to the Tutkel cavalry and expressed his willingness to join the system of the Tutkel Commercial Republic.  Of course, in contrast, this spellcaster hopes that Tutkel Commercial Republic can pay for him to redeem his accompanying items.  Of course, this money is not allocated free of charge, and he will rely on his own gifts to repay the debt in the coming time.  In the end, after some wrangling, the spell caster had to accept a loan interest rate of 15% per year.  Tutkel's Commercial Republic quickly spent money to redeem Barrett's rare items, consumables, and spell books.  But it¡¯s just the price of the ransom!  Naturally, it is lower than the market price of those items.  However, considering the cooperation between the two parties, Barrett still recognized this 'alliance price'.  As a member of the Boreham family, Barrett should still show some sincerity.  Of course, Barrett would not be taken advantage of in vain. He decisively gave up cash and chose to pay with the in-demand luxury goods that are specialties of the Tutkel Commercial Republic.  After bringing these things back to Bolum Territory, the previous losses can almost be made up. ??????????????????????? However, what the Tutkel Commercial Republic values ??only is the attitude shown by Bolum, and they don¡¯t care at all if Barrett is beaten personally.  (To be continued.)
