Chapter 60: The Beginning of Cooperation (2)
In the large beast cart, Leo and Lindsay sat on one side, and the old priest sat on the other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"What do you think of us, Red Rock Thieves?"
The old priest smiled naturally, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze.
This is not a matter that can be expressed casually, so as not to show too much of his own feet, Leo chooses to remain silent.
Truth be told, Quentin Grote was a surprise to him by cheekily squeezing into their beast cart.
The old man was unexpectedly sincere, but that's exactly what we need to be wary of.
"The moon god bestows magic on mankind, like the rain and grace from the sky, which is the order of all things and destiny, which cannot be changed or surpassed."
"The magic of nature sometimes gives birth to miracles, giving birth to crystals that carry magical powers, and the sages discovered them and named them magic crystals."
"What do you think of this magic crystal?"
The old priest did not get a response from Leo, and without the slightest embarrassment, continued to speak.
A red magic crystal appeared on his hand, emitting a strange light.
Just like an ordinary magic crystal, this red magic crystal exudes a magical aura to the surroundings, and its purity is very high, which shows that it is very valuable.
"It's the fruit of the devil."
Iros could see at a glance what made this magic crystal unique, the ordinary magic crystal appeared black and white, which was also the pure color of natural magic. However, the power of demons is different from ordinary magic power, and after condensation, it will produce a demonic red, which appeared hundreds of years ago.
The final battle between the Spirit Ring and the Mage Guild has drawn an end to history, and this red ** crystal has disappeared.
The boundary of the Gaudun ruins is filled with countless such red ** crystals, and they are accompanied by some red phantoms, but even Iros doesn't know about this.
"It's a pure magic crystal, can you tell me how different it is?"
Leo didn't break it, and said it on purpose. He wanted to see how well the old priest knew about this magic crystal.
"We call it the Red Fury Crystal, and although the magic inside it is pure, it can't be used by ordinary humans at all."
"Once you use it recklessly, it will be demonized."
The old priest's tone intensified, and his calm expression instantly became serious.
The word demonization brought back some memories, and Leo waited for Iros's statement.
"It should be the corrosive power of the demons, which will make the source of human magic swell, and it will also lose control while growing."
"Demon artifacts are dangerous, so try not to touch them."
Iros cautioned.
"The people of the Mercedes Chamber of Commerce used this Red Fury Crystal, so it became a heresy that you must eradicate?"
Leo guessed boldly.
"It's a lot more complicated than that." The old priest shook his head, "Stormwind is dangerous right now, almost splitting into two factions. ”
There is a mine in the Red Rock Coast area under the name of Mercester, which Stormwind has partnered with the Chamber of Commerce to exploit. In the days when rumors of the Dragon Shadow spread, a group of Red Rock thieves attacked the knights guarding the mine, broke into the working mine, and abducted hundreds of workers.
The Knights are well-equipped, but they are still defeated by the Red Rock Thieves because they have taken the Red Fury Crystal.
Half of the body burst into red crystal thorns, and the Red Rock Thieves, who were not human or ghostly, quickly drove the knights out of the mine area.
Seeing the mourning dog-like knights, the city lord of Stormwind City was furious and personally led the heavily armed knights to deal with the arrogant Red Rock thieves, but they never returned, including Kofei in the knights, the eldest son of the city lord.
By the time the old priest became suspicious, it was already three days later.
The three-day disappearance of the lord was well concealed, as Stormwind's politics and Mercedes' economy had been intertwined long ago.
Letters, documents, and various sources of information received from outside the city were in charge of the Mercedes. It is very dangerous to be controlled by the Chamber of Commerce in the lifeblood of the city, and the old priest has reminded him many times, but it has no effect.
The main palace of Stormwind City was like a castle in the mist, and the old priest asked to go in and meet many times in the name of the head of the branch of the Luna Cult, but all of them were rejected by the people of Mercester without exception. The city lord has not been able to show up, and the old priest has united with the other forces of Stormwind City and began to persecute Messeste.
I was expecting to uncover the truth, but soon, a new twist occurred.
Kozmo became the new lord of the city, the new ruler of the Mercedes, the second son of the lord of the city, and an honorable baron.
He had many supporters, but more importantly, he held an edict issued by the Emperor of Astaire.
No matter how powerful the Mercedes is, it is impossible to forge the oracle. Forced by some kind of deterrence, many people chose to side with Kozmo. As his supporters dwindled, the old priest's movements were gradually limited by the Messeste, and in the last few days, he had to move from the church area next to the main palace of Stormwind to the outside of the central area.
Stormwind City is actually in the midst of countless undercurrents, the chess pieces of the Grand Dukes are all quietly moving, and the forms in the city are already intertwined with light and dark, but now they are even more complicated.
Realizing this, the old priest investigates the chamber's recent trade activities, and discovers an unexpected catch.
1. The first-class mines in the Red Rock Coast area are not ordinary magic crystals, but red fury magic crystals.
2. Mercedes has recently had a large number of fund transfers, the details of which cannot be investigated, but point to the most recent delivery activity.
So the old priest had a plan to hijack the Mercedes convoy as a negotiating power.
He decided that Messester wanted to take over Stormwind's ambitions, so he couldn't afford to sit still.
"Why don't you ask for help from other cities?"
In the face of Leo's question, the old priest smiled bitterly.
"Before that, I had sent letters to the lords of other cities, but only the letter to Taiyan City was successful, and I am afraid that my actions are also in the hands of the Mercedes."
"Maybe it's because there have been some changes in Taiyan City recently, but unfortunately there is no reply."
It seems that staying in Stormwind is actually not safe.
The old priest agreed to Leo's ridiculous request so quickly, just to pull him into the water with him, and Leo pursed his lips when he realized this.
He's still a little too tender.
"Maybe it's better to go after the head of the Chamber of Commerce hiding in the forest, it's too dangerous for us to meet with Messer now."
Leo frowned, he suddenly couldn't figure it out, what did the old priest mean by this trip?
Knowing that he and Mercedes don't deal with each other, isn't this hitting the muzzle of someone's gun?
"The whole thing may be beyond my imagination, and it's not enough to just seize this delivery operation."
"It's just a decoy."
The old priest stroked his white beard, and his eyes were fierce. (To be continued.) )
