Chapter 920: Reunion
There was no doubt that something like Neverwinter Castle sending a large number of students to wander around the city and inquire about the traces of magical creatures would not be able to hide it from Zhang Cheng's ears and eyes.
In less than an hour, the detailed information of these students, including their names, ages, ethnicities, occupations, experiences, personalities, etc., was compiled into a book and placed on the desk.
After briefly flipping through it, he casually threw the information aside, and ordered with a smile: "Don't worry about these guys, they can do whatever they want, just send someone to keep an eye on it." Also, I've been paying more attention to the envoys of Waterdeep lately, and I think there must be agents of the Harper's Alliance among those people. ”
"Sir Sir with all due respect, these people are loyal to Lord Nasir, and it won't be a good thing for us to find the magical creatures of Waterdeep and create an antidote to the plague. An old man who looked to be in his sixties took the initiative to bend down and bow in remind.
He was none other than the careerist and opportunist who had stepped forward to help form the church.
"No, believe me, it's not that easy. What's more, what if they were to make an antidote? The vast majority of the people of the city have already accepted my simplified antidote to the plague, and even if they come up with a better one, it will only cheapen me. Wouldn't it be better if we just grabbed it and distributed it directly to the citizens when the time comes?" Zhang Chengyi explained with deep taste.
You must know that the antidote to the plague he provided is only an inhibitory drug, and it cannot eradicate the plague.
If the infected person does not drink it after a period of time, the plague that is latent in the body will still return.
Of course, this is not that he can't make an antidote to the plague, but in order to better control the ignorant people, so that they will continue to hypnotize and suggest in the process of taking the antidote again and again, until the other party completely becomes a blind fanatic.
"Well, now that you've made your decision, I'll just tell you to go down in a moment. As for the envoys of Waterdeep, don't worry, their every move is under our watch. Every citizen of this city is now your eyes and ears. The old man swore an oath.
"Very well! Remember, don't act rashly lately, and don't provoke the Church of Lord Nasir and the God of Justice who are hiding in the Neverwinter Castle. Wait patiently, it won't be long before they are disintegrated from within. At that time, we will only need to guide public opinion a little bit......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng raised his hands and made an upward movement.
"Boom! The fear, resentment, and anger that the entire population of Neverwinter will accumulate will be unleashed like a blazing flame, and then the pearl of the Northland will fall into complete evil. ”
"As you wish, my great and wise master. The old man lay on the ground and kissed Zhang Cheng's robe lightly before carefully stepping back and leaving the room.
Seeing his background gradually disappear at the end of the corridor, Jesse, who had been waiting in a dark corner for a long time, came out and reported with a solemn expression: "The latest news, Varindra has left Luskan, if nothing else, it will arrive at the docks of Neverwinter at midnight today." ”
"Oh, is she finally here? Yes, it seems that the whole project is going well. Zhang Cheng touched his chin and nodded with satisfaction.
Just over an hour ago, a man put a cold dagger around my neck and asked me to relay the news to you. You'd better not make any accidents, or I won't be with you to your death. There was a tremor in Jesse's voice, visibly frightened.
But it's no wonder!
As an assassin proficient in assassination, she was only discovered by someone with a dagger around her neck, which almost meant a huge gap in strength between the two.
If the other person wants, he can always slit his throat and let her die of suffocation or blood loss.
"Hehe, rest assured, I mentioned before that Luskan is an ally, and there will be no bloodshed between us. What do you think, dear Artemis Ntreili. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng looked behind the statue placed in the corner of the room.
"Ah, you're right, but only if you have to prove your identity first. ”
With a low, hoarse voice, a man in a gray cloak appeared in the living room out of the shadows.
Compared to a few years ago, the killer looked even more gloomy, and the whole person seemed to be a black fog that appeared from time to time, as if it could disappear from sight at any time.
"Proof of it, how are you going for me to prove it? If I'm not mistaken, I gave you a magic potion back then to give you more speed and body coordination, so let me see how much you've improved. ”
The words just fell!
Zhang Cheng suddenly disappeared from the chair!
Next Second......
Bite!
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed through the air.
I saw that he was holding a knife in his hand that was used to cut fruits, and directly forced Encuili, who was famous in the entire Faeron Continent, to retreat several steps.
"Teleportation magic?!" the killer raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"No! not magic! but another kind of power. Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile and took the initiative to attack again.
Ding, ding, dang!
In just half a minute, the two of them had already clashed for dozens of rounds, so fast that they couldn't see the movements and figures clearly, and could only barely see a little golden sparks flying out after the afterimage and the weapon collided.
Such a fierce and amazing confrontation, not to mention a half-person like Jesse, even if the dark elf ranger Trist came, he would kneel down and sing conquest in a matter of seconds.
With the energy flowing in the nerve conduction system and muscles and flesh, Entrili is no longer the self he used to be, and it can even be said that he is standing at the apex of the mortal warriors of the entire Faren Continent.
And Zhang Cheng relied on the divine power transformed from his belief to continuously strengthen and transform this fragile body, and now he can almost reach the level of immunity to magic weapon attacks below +3.
As for the strength and reaction speed, more than half a month ago, he could no longer be regarded as a human being, and he had stepped into the level of a god.
Since neither side has any intention of keeping their hands open, the battle looks thrilling and exciting.
But Entreili was a mortal body no matter what, and after only two or three minutes of effort, his explosive power began to decline rapidly, and he was half on his knees panting, grinning and saying, "Sure enough, it's you!" But I don't think you've become weaker. ”
"Weakened? No, no, no, my dear friend, I am not weak, but I have become too strong, so strong that the body cannot come, so I have to use the projection of consciousness. Well, are you ready to deal a fatal blow to Waterdeep and the self-righteous gods?"
"Hahahaha! Of course! An epic battle! That's exactly what I'm after!"
