My days as a landlord in Gotham

Li Lei's bodyguards separated Li Lei and Stevenson, because the next area belonged to the director's office area, and no one could enter without special authorization.

Although the director of the Magic Race Liaison Office is considered a senior official of the SSA, due to the particularity of this department, the security level of this department has always been very low, and even many floors of the SSA cannot be entered.

The director's office area happened to be an area with a high level of secrecy within the SSA, so Director Stevenson was naturally stopped.

As Li Lei's personal assistant and accompanying secretary, Adam naturally has the right to continue walking with Li Lei.

Seeing Stevenson's embarrassed appearance, Adam was naturally very happy.

As a clone, the first half of Adam's life was quite simple, so Adam's character is very simple.

Li Lei, Xiao Hong and Jason treat themselves well and regard themselves as family members, so Adam also regards them as his own family members and vows to protect them.

And Adam, who is also a mage, naturally knew how dangerous the assassination was. If the Dragonfly fighter was not strong enough and the escape system was more reliable, even a super mage like Li Lei might not be able to benefit.

And if it wasn't for Li Lei's proficiency in transfiguration, Li Lei would have died the moment his ejection chair was struck by lightning.

So now Adam doesn't like anyone who suggests a soft policy, including Stevenson naturally.

And Stevenson, who was separated by the security guards, also knew that this matter could not be done well. After thinking about it, he shook his head and left.

When he got back to the office, he picked up the phone, but then he put it down.

Now the human world and the magical world are only one step away from declaring war. If we still maintain this close relationship with the magical world, no matter whether it is "spying"

Or "crimes against humanity"

It is enough to send himself to the electric chair and shame his family.

Stevenson should be thankful that he understood what his position was at the last moment, otherwise as long as he made that phone call, the internal security department of the SSA would arrest Stevenson on the charge of "espionage"

Fortunately, although Stevenson sympathizes with the magical world, he still understands that he belongs to the human race.

After Li Lei heard the reply, he just curled his lips and said nothing.

"This is the office of the Supreme Council in New York?"

Li Lei looked at Adam beside him and asked in a low voice.

It was already late at night, and the midwinter in New York, which was already cut off from electricity and water, seemed even colder.

Li Lei and Adam were standing in a run-down neighborhood, between two tenements was a very dirty and very small bar, the bar was so inconspicuous.

"This is not only the office of the Supreme Council in New York, but also the entrance to the magical world of New York."

Adam said.

"There are about seven such magical worlds in the United States, in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, and Atlanta. In addition, there are such gathering places in some other big cities, but the scale is not as large as these seven.

In addition to the magical world in these urban areas, there are also villages in the magical world in many undeveloped areas such as the Rocky Mountains.

It's just that most of the people living there are druids, wizards or werewolves, mages, vampires, etc. still like to be in the city. "

"Tsk, I thought these people who practiced spells would be more pure-hearted and ascetic."

Li Lei couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"Even the Buddha can't let go of the prosperity of Huahua World, let alone other monks?"

Adam's spells lean towards the east, so he also knows many religions in the east, so he made a joke.

"Let's go in and have a look."

Li Lei cast a disillusionment spell on himself and Adam, and then the rings on their hands lit up and then went dark.

This ring is Adam's gizmo that helps the caster fix a certain magical state.

For example, the Illusion Curse can last for half a day at most depending on the mana of the caster, but with this kind of ring, there is no problem even if it lasts for half a month.

Moreover, the ring has a curing effect. Unless the caster touches the incident, or the person wearing the ring takes the initiative to take off the ring, ordinary spells have not destroyed the effect of the illusion spell, and it is considered a very advanced magic item.

Li Lei and Adam disguised themselves as wizards from Russia, and their fur coats and hats also fit the Russian style.

When Li Lei and Adam walked into this shabby-looking bar, they realized that there was something strange inside.

Although this kind of space spell is not troublesome, it is not so easy to maintain it.

There are three floors inside the entire bar, and the style is all in the luxurious style of the British Victorian era.

There are several chandeliers made of pure gold and crystal in the bar, and it seems that the workmanship is really a royal item of the British royal family.

Although New York has become almost like a dead city due to power outages, water supply, and heating, the bars are still lively.

The werewolves were sitting in the corner drinking, the vampires were bragging with their goblins in their arms, and the wizards and mages were chatting in their respective seats.

On the stage in the middle of the bar, a skeleton band is playing jazz.

"Strange friends, what do you want to drink?"

The owner of the bar is a middle-aged man, he asked faintly while wiping the crystal wine glass.

However, his eyes locked on Li Lei and Adam, as if he wanted to see through the two Russians.

"My name is Pav Chekov. I am a wizard who came to the United States from Russia. I hope to find some business in the United States."

The wizard Li Lei pretended to be was almost 50 years old, and he looked like a typical old Russian man.

Then Li Lei pointed to Adam next to him, who played a young Russian man.

Compared with middle-aged and elderly Russian men, young Russian men are still very good in appearance.

"This is my apprentice, Andrei Tarkovsky."

"Welcome to the two guests who came from afar. I'll treat you to the first glass of wine."

The bar owner said with a smile.

"Vodka, two glasses."

Li Lei stretched out two fingers.

Seeing that the bar owner was about to put ice cubes in the quilt, Li Lei stopped him, "We Russians drink vodka without ice and water?

Otherwise it wouldn't be called vodka. "

The bar owner smiled and removed the ice, then poured two glasses of pure vodka for Li Lei and Adam.

Li Lei was naturally depressed, while Adam seemed to be drinking for the first time, so he coughed endlessly.

The bar owner thoughtfully offered a glass of warm water, but Li Lei looked at Adam with contempt.

"Boss, I want to know if I want to stay here for a few days, do you have any suitable places to recommend?

The main thing is that we have to purchase some things in the United States, you know, if you can bring it back smoothly, it will be a lot of money. "

The magical world of Russia was once brilliant in the Tsarist era, but then it sank completely.

Many Russian magic races fled from Tsarist Russia at the end of the Tsarist era, and the remaining magic races lingered in Russia.

Although the living conditions are better now, compared with the magical products of the United States, Russia is really not enough.

Therefore, many wizards from Russia will engage in smuggling|smuggling work, secretly carrying American magic products to Russia.

"You can stay with me, I provide accommodation on the [-]th, [-]th, [-]th floors.

As for the room type, you can look at the selling price here.

I recommend this place because I am the only hotel and entrance to the Wizarding World in New York. If Mr. Chekov wants to buy something, the delivery will be much more convenient.

If bulky items are involved, I can even help you invite the owners of some well-known shops to meet you, and I think they will offer you some discounts for your generosity. "

The bar owner said with a smile.

"Just, Sir Chekov, how much money do you have?

You know, a lot of people aren't as approachable as I am. "

"Then does the boss have a quieter place?

Don't worry, I will call out my and my apprentice's wands. "

Li Lei said with a smile.

For wizards and mages, not having a magic wand would weaken at least [-]% of their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, if wizards and mages are willing to hand over their wands, it means that they have friendship and sincerity, and hope that the other party can rest assured.

"No problem, I happen to have an Absolut crystal vodka here, and I'm worried that I don't have any friends from Russia."

The bar owner said with a smile.

Absolut Crystal Vodka is one of the top ten most luxurious brands in vodka, although the price tag is $1000 a bottle.

However, due to the scarcity of the quantity, the price of this bottle of wine has already increased a lot today, almost 10 years after its release.

The bar owner led Li Lei and Adam to the hidden door behind the bar, and before entering another door, a bodyguard stretched out his hand.

Li Lei and Adam handed over their wands, and the bar owner put his own wand into the bodyguard's hand.

Unlike the luxurious Victorian style in the bar, this office is a Tudor style with both solemnity and elegance.

"Sit down, you can call me Paul."

After the bar owner asked Li Lei and Adam to sit down, he actually took out a bottle of Absolut Crystal Vodka, poured three glasses and handed them to Li Lei and Adam respectively.

"Now can I tell you why you are here?"

Li Lei took out a sack from his body, and he tipped it lightly, and immediately the room was filled with one-third of the gold.

Like human society, gold is also the common currency of the wizarding world.

Li Lei understands that talking about money is superfluous, just use gold to pour out a urn, and everyone will know how rich you are.

He looked at Paul's greedy expression and said calmly, "This is just a deposit.

Our gold wouldn't surprise you if you knew which tsar we served. "

"Is it Tsar Romanov?

Russia's last tsar? "

Paul is not an ignorant wizard, on the contrary he has studied a lot of human history.

As the last tsars of Tsarist Russia, the Romanov family did not end well.

The Red Army of the Soviet Union executed them secretly, thus causing the whereabouts of many wealth of the Tsarist family to be lost.

Some people call the treasure heritage of the last tsar one of the top ten lost treasures in human history. One can imagine how much money there is.

"Yes, my family has served His Majesty for many years.

So before the Kremlin was lost, His Majesty gave us the address of the treasure.

We tried to rescue His Majesty, but they did it suddenly. "

Li Lei said regretfully.

"Oh my God!"

Paul didn't know how to describe it anymore.

There are no poor people in wizards and mages. The wealth in the hands of these people is really exposed. There is absolutely no problem in the top 500 of the world's richest list.

It is trivial for some families with inheritance to enter the top [-].

And the Chekov family is not only the kind of old family that inherits, but also got all the treasures of a royal family
