The seizure of Chongshan Island was a plan drawn up by the monastics, and Najaf, who was waving his flag in the foreground, was only an insignificant pawn, and his every move was at the mercy of others, and he was simply an executor.

As for what the old monsters of the hermit were planning, a cautious person like Najaf did not dare to take the initiative to ask. Don't forget, you know too much, and it's a reasonable excuse to get killed! Despite Najaf's scheming skills and lack of the necessary intelligence support, he could not guess what the monastic was up to. Considering that Chongshan Island is not far from the Funayama Islands, this matter is likely to involve His Royal Highness the Human Regent, Najaf had to be doubly careful when speaking, in case any of the words were not properly spoken, and it would be impossible to clean up this troublesome matter.

When he thought of this, Najaf simply resorted to the nonsense he was usually good at, and said:

"Alright! If I exchange it for land, I want three times the area of land, and if I have gold coins, one million should be fine. ”

Without waiting for Luo Zhengdao to speak, Gao De, who was sitting opposite, couldn't hold back his anger, jumped to his feet and scolded:

"Najaf, you nasty billet, trying to blackmail me? That's delusion! ”

There is no doubt that such a lion's asking price can indeed be called extortion, let alone three times the area of land exchange, even if a million gold coins are taken out, it is not a small amount for Gao De. No matter how rich the Elven Federation is, the gold coins are also people's, these long ears will not agree to throw the money into the water casually, Najaf is making it clear that the chariots and horses want to pit Gaode!

"Yo, knowing that you are a poor bastard, then you still learn from others to pretend to be a big guy!"

Seeing Najaf's overly pompous and contrived performance, Vina Dubov was suddenly alarmed and reminded Luo Zhengdao in her ear:

"Najaf is deliberately provoking His Excellency Gode, and he may be trying to end today's negotiations."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao nodded slightly, and then he smiled and stood up and said:

"Your Excellency Najaf, do you believe me?"

It's not easy to answer, and Najaf can't say I just can't trust you! So why is he here to fight a lawsuit? Could it be that you can eat too much and hold on? Knowing that he had been cornered, Najaf replied helplessly:

"Uh, of course, His Royal Highness the Regent."

Luo Zhengdao nodded with a satisfied smile, and said to Gao De:

"Can Your Excellency Gao De trust me?"

Gao De, who didn't know what to do, could only choose to climb along the pole, leaned over and said:

"Of course, if I didn't believe Your Highness, I wouldn't have asked you to arbitrate."

The smiling Luo Zhengdao spread out his hands and said unhurriedly:

"Since the two parties have a dispute over the ownership of this territory, in order to avoid the escalation of the situation, Chongshan Island is temporarily entrusted to me to manage, do you have any opinions?"

"How can this be?"

"Your Highness, I believe in you, I have no opinion."

Gaode Needham quickly grabbed ahead of Najaf to express his support, not only selling Luo Zhengdao's good, but also making another move against his opponent by the way. Seeing Najaf's angry appearance, Luo Zhengdao smiled and took a sip of the teacup, and said:

"Lord Najaf, you seem to have said believe me, I heard you right?"

At this point, Najaf was extremely useless, he glared at Gao De viciously, and replied stubbornly:

"I agree with Your Highness's disposition!"

After listening to the statements of both sides, Luo Zhengdao said calmly:

"Then Chongshan Island is temporarily entrusted to me until the negotiation between the two of you on this dispute is completed, and the island is returned to the owner after the trusteeship is over, is there a problem?"

The plan to occupy the island was proposed by the monastic and carried out by Najaf, who was nothing more than a pawn in the matter. Squeezed by Luo Zhengdao's words in front of him, he had no choice but to hand over Chongshan Island from his hands, and frankly speaking, Najaf was very worried in his heart, he didn't know what the hermitage would think of this matter

Returning to his lair, Najaf, whose face was pale, immediately contacted the monastic through the Magic Mirror, and recounted the whole incident as it was, and at the end he tried to show a trace of guilt and said:

"Ahem, I'm sorry I didn't make it happen."

"Hehehehe, Will Needham is on his way to Chongshan Island, and you don't need to be involved in the rest."

In recent years, Najaf's political ambitions have been almost diluted, and what little desire he has left has turned into a fear of death, and he does not care whether Will Needham is alive or dead, only about his own future. At that moment, Najaf asked tentatively:

"What did we say about the ceremony?"

The hazy black shadow in the magic mirror seemed to make a gesture of waving his hand, and said:

"One qiē will be executed according to the agreement."

As soon as he heard this, the beaming Najaf couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and said in a loud voice:

"Ahh Thank you so much, I will definitely try my best to serve the Ashram. ”

Secret societies have always been very popular in the New World, from small grass troupes formed by a few ruffians in rural villages, to large organizations spanning multiple fields of professional research and countries, those secret societies that wield knowledge and power are always awe-inspiring and terrifying.

There is a famous saying in the old world that knowledge is power, but that is just a metaphor, and even if your head is stuffed with profound knowledge about the creation of the universe, you will certainly not be able to use it to level a small ruffian with a machete in his hand. In the new world, the role and value of knowledge are completely different, and that is the real power!

Knowledge that can exert great power without the need for other channels and methods to be transformed is naturally not a pure academic research institution. As the so-called hooligans know martial arts, no one can stop them, and secret magic societies like the Hermit Society not only have a long history of intertwined forces, but also operate in the dark There are many relationships, which can be called a tree with deep roots that are difficult to shake, and outsiders can't figure out who the faces hidden under those black hoods are. This strong secrecy keeps people in the know and those trying to get to the bottom of it shut up, and if you don't want to be silenced, it's best to learn to keep your mouth shut before you talk about right and wrong.

"Najaf, you don't have much time left, get ready to get moving!"

Indeed, Najaf, whose health was deteriorating, could not wait, and he immediately set out for the meeting place after receiving the promise of the monastic. The more cruel and tyrannical people are to others, the more they value their own lives, because they never treat others as their own kind, which is the main reason for their success.

The voyage to the main continent was extremely dangerous, and although it was no secret that the Monks colluded with the goblins, Najaf was also a key criminal on the Goblin Hunt List, and if he ran into a goblin fleet on the way, it would be a bad luck. If it weren't for his own life, the evil sorcerer would never have agreed to use only one cruiser for this journey, and now his greatest hope was that the monastic would be able to fulfill its promise, and his body would not be able to sustain it for long. Thankfully, nothing happened along the way, and after landing, following the secret notes left by the monastics, Najaf rushed all the way to the abandoned manor near the coastline.

In the dimly lit basement, the cold light cast by the lighting crystals was a little harsh, and not far away in the open space was a coffin-shaped container, filled with a suspicious green liquid, constantly emitting strings of bubbles and wisps of smoke, this thing looked and felt not much different from the legendary witch cauldron, Najaf's face was a little whiter than usual.

"Najaf, this will be your new life."

Hearing the black-robed man say this, Najaf, who couldn't help himself, could only bow his head, and he said in the most sincere tone possible:

"Your Excellency, I will be loyal to you and to the organization."

Hearing this, the black-robed man stretched out his gloved left hand and pointed to the container, and said:

"Well, take off your clothes and lie down inside."

Every mortal of flesh and blood had an instinctive fear of death, and Najaf was no exception, and he stripped himself naked, dragging his ribbed, sickly body trembling into the container. A moment later, with a violent burning sensation coming from his skin, Najaf, who had not yet fully laid, suddenly let out a terrible scream, and then the impatient black-robed man raised his hand and pointed to his forehead, and he instantly lost consciousness and fell into the green liquid like a sack

"Your Highness, is there anything special about Chongshan Island that is worth fighting for by Gao De and Najaf?"

On the command platform on the stern deck, the question raised by Brando Scarlet Yan was exactly what Luo Zhengdao wanted to figure out, and he shook his head lightly and said:

"I can guess some of Gaude's thoughts, Najaf...... This guy's mind is indeed unpredictable! ”

This trip to Chongshan Island on the Yangwei, Luo Zhengdao's original purpose was to find out the details of this place, and everyone understood that Najaf had always been scheming, and he had never done anything bad in his life. It just so happened that Luo Zhengdao had more free time recently, and the distance from Chongshan Island to Chuanshan Islands was not too far, so he moved his mind to take a turn in person, and seeing is believing everything!

"The big fish has bitten the hook."

Luo Zhengdao's whereabouts were glimpsed in the detection crystal ball similar to the True Vision Crystal, and the black-robed man let out a cold and dry laugh, while the companions gathered around were silent, the hermit would have been looking forward to this day for a long, long time.

Needless to say, the magic card master who controls the law with one hand can be said to be beyond the incredible existence of mortal things, and in the head-to-head confrontation at the god war level, the magic card master vigorously fought a big battle, overturning the Aragami series head-on, and beating the opponent to the point of annihilation. Although the war ended in defeat, the Magician also wrote a glorious page in history, and no mortal race in the New World has ever been able to do this, either before or since. If the path of Aragami to gain authority is the trick of the gods of the traditional fantasy world, the sudden rise of the magic card master has subverted all the rules of the past.

The mystery and strength of the magic card master can be called the two sides of the same coin, and even the successors of Luo Zhengdao can't figure out how many secrets the predecessors have hidden.
