The most powerful wizard in the magic world

He looked at Nass with a sharp gaze, thinking about Nass's abnormal behavior in the past few days. All of this was closely related to Ligula, whose motives made him full of doubts. As Nass's friend, Gerling was always worried about her safety.

"Nas, are you here?" he asked softly, his voice echoing in the empty room.

"I'm here, Gerlin." Nas's voice came from the window, and Gerlin found her sitting by the window, staring at the night sky. Through her long hair, the moonlight outlined her silhouette, making her look particularly lonely.

"What are you thinking about?" Gerlin walked up and sat quietly beside her, trying to see the emotions flashing in her eyes.

"I was thinking about Liguria." She finally turned her head, the emotion in her eyes rippling like ripples. "I always felt like she was hiding something."

"Me too." Gerling frowned slightly. "Her behavior makes me feel uneasy, especially her recent connection with the black market. Do you know what kind of business she is conducting?"

Nas shook her head, her expression becoming heavy. "I'm not sure. She's always so mysterious, as if she's planning something big. She's been frequenting some suspicious places lately, and I'm afraid she'll drag me into something dangerous."

"We have to find the truth," Gerling said, with a determined look on his face. He didn't want Nas to bear these worries alone. "I'm going to her bar tonight to see if I can find any clues. Do you want to come with me?"

Nas hesitated: "This... the bar sounds dangerous."

"I'll protect you," Gelling said quickly. "We'll go together, and she won't know we're spying on her. Are you willing?"

After some thought, Nas nodded heavily: "Okay, I believe you."

A few minutes later, the two quietly left the room, the shadows of the night like a cloak, covering their figures. They walked carefully on the streets of the city, the neon lights on the streets reflected on their slightly nervous faces. As they got closer and closer to the bar, their heartbeats seemed to speed up.

The door outside the bar was bustling with people, and loud music flowed through the closed door, as if inviting strangers to join in the revelry. Gerling secretly observed his surroundings, looking for any signs of abnormality.

"Wait a moment." He whispered to Nasi, "Wait here for me, I'll go check out the situation."

"I don't want to stay here alone." Nas shook her head stubbornly, with anxiety flashing in her eyes.

"Okay, let's go in together." Gerlin made up his mind, took Nas's hand, and firmly pushed open the door of the bar.

As soon as they entered the door, the piercing music instantly enveloped them, the colorful lights twisted in the air, and the intoxicating aroma was intertwined with alcohol and smoke. The two walked towards the bar cautiously, and Gerling tried to make himself appear calm. The atmosphere in the bar seemed to be in sharp contrast to their tension. Everyone was enjoying the carnival of the night.

"We have to find Ligula." Gerlin turned his head, searching every corner.

After a casual glance, he finally saw a familiar figure in a corner - Ligula was talking in a low voice with several men. Her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and the black dress she wore looked very sexy in the interweaving of light and shadow, but at this moment, the smile she had revealed was somewhat sinister.

"She is connected to those people." Nas whispered, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

Gerlin nodded, clenched his fists, and tried to hear their conversation. "I'll try it out," he said to Nas, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

"I'll go with you." Nas didn't want Gerlin to take the risk alone.

The beautiful music covered up the surrounding noise. Gerlin and Nas walked up to Ligula and pretended to greet her intimately: "Ligula, long time no see! What are you doing here?"

Ligula looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and replied: "Hey, Gerlin, Nas, I didn't expect you to be here. We are discussing some business. It's rare for us to meet. Would you like to have a drink?"

"Business?" Gerlin pretended to be relaxed, trying to see more from Ligula's eyes.

"Yes, you know, there are some new situations in the market recently." Ligula showed a strange smile on her face, "and I always look for people who can cooperate with me."

Nas felt uneasy. She wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Gerling's eyes. Gerling moved closer and asked casually, "What kind of cooperation do you mean?"

Ligula chuckled, a trace of contempt appeared on her face: "Oh, Gerling, you know, business secrets can't be told to others casually. However, some people may be willing to spend a lot of money to buy some information. It depends on whether you are willing to join this circle, or... do nothing like now."

This hint startled Gerling's heart. He noticed that Ligula kept glancing at the people around her. Obviously, she was not acting alone here.

"We have something else to do, so we won't bother you anymore." Gerlin smiled, turned around, took Nas's hand and left quickly. All this felt extremely dangerous, and he had to come up with a plan.

As soon as they left the bar, the two took a deep breath of the fresh air outside, but their hearts were filled with doubts and uneasiness.

"We need to find out exactly what Ligula is doing as soon as possible," Gerling responded. "She seems to have a lot of supporters behind her, and her purpose is not just for profit."

Nas nodded slightly, with a determined light in her eyes: "I believe we will find out the truth."

In the following days, Gerling, with the help of some of his friends' resources, began to secretly investigate Ligula's whereabouts. They also improved their mutual understanding through occasional contacts. They analyzed, discussed, confirmed information together, and even used various means to try to uncover Ligula's true intentions.

As the investigation deepens, Gerlin and Nas gradually feel a potential threat. Ligula's dark power seems to be not simple, and every transaction she is involved in is entangled with greater interests.

"We must be careful tonight." Gerlin warned in a low voice, noticing a trace of fear on Nas's face. "If she finds out that we are investigating, the consequences will be disastrous."
