Dominated by a great sense of crisis, the loose council passed a series of decisions with great efficiency, including continuing to recruit and train militias, expanding patrols, and sending messengers to the town of Nanhai.

There was no bickering, no quarrels, and no passing the buck to each other, and everyone assumed their own responsibilities and obligations.

Because they all know very well what the word magic plague represents, once they lose their precious lives, then wealth, power, and beauty will become meaningless.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Zhang Cheng, he just wants to use the power of the town to increase the contribution of the task as much as possible and strive to get the best reward.

In fact, the focus of the "New Plague" mission from the beginning was not here, but in Dalaran.

Only by attracting the attention and vigilance of the Kenrito Council can the plague be cracked.

Otherwise, the magic knowledge and alchemy knowledge he currently has will not be enough to deal with such a profound and complex subject.

To be exact, he couldn't even figure out what the basic ingredients of the dark green gas-liquid mixture in the bottle were.

Just as Zhang Cheng was eating the steaming stew and thinking about what he was going to do next, Garrick suddenly broke into the room and shouted, "Mr. Mage, the room is cleaned up, you can go and rest at any time after you are full." In addition, the mayor has asked me to inform you that three good horses have been fed fresh oats, and they will surely be in the best condition tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay, thanks, go get busy with you, I'll go to bed when I'm done. You know, I didn't sleep well all night last night, and I must make up for it today. As he spoke, Zhang Cheng pointed to his heavy dark circles, then raised his glass and took a sip of the town's home-brewed wine.

Although this inferior liquor, made with the original process, was not to his taste, he disguised it well and did not show it in the slightest.

"Then you have a good rest, and I will also go and prepare and set off with you tomorrow. Garrick didn't notice anything unusual, nodded slightly, and then turned away.

As soon as he walked away, old George, who was sitting across the table, cautiously asked, "Your Excellency, do you really intend to meddle in this matter?" When I passed through Nanhai Town, I heard that some people were secretly investigating the plague, but they have not been able to come back since they left Nanhai Town. ”

"Oh, you know?" Zhang Cheng looked up in surprise.

"Well, a little bit of knowledge, among the Forsaken is a group of self-proclaimed Royal Apothecaries' Society, they are very secretive, and often capture some living people as test subjects, and anyone who tries to investigate further will invariably die. You've saved my life and my daughter's life, so I hope something happens to you. Old George said with a sincere face.

As a businessman who constantly travels from town to town, he is exposed to far more information than ordinary people, and understands how dangerous the world is.

"It's not easy, you still know about the Royal Apothecary Society in the Undercity. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and who the enemy is. Zhang Cheng deliberately pretended not to care, lowered his head and quickly finished eating the food on the plate, and then pushed open the door and walked into the bedroom without looking back.

Old George sighed slightly, drank all the wine in the glass in one go, didn't say anything more, just took his daughter's hand and walked into the next room.

He was exhausted from the night's sleep, and he just wanted to get some sleep and ride his horse early tomorrow morning and hand over the precious arcane crystal to Archmage Anslem Ruinvivol, so as to save him any more accidents.

However, Old George obviously didn't notice that at the moment when Zhang Cheng just crossed the threshold, the whole person froze for a moment, with an extremely strange expression on his face, and then closed the door.

The reason is very simple, he saw a young and beautiful girl in his own bed, and this girl was only wearing light silk underwear, and the looming curves added a charm and seduction out of thin air.

"Who are you? Don't tell Frank called you. I don't think there would be a woman in such a small rural town in the middle of nowhere who could afford to wear silk. Zhang Cheng admired the beautiful scenery in front of him while curling the corners of his mouth and laughing.

After all, he is not the kind of idiot who can't walk when he sees a woman, and his first reaction is to be vigilant against any beauty who takes the initiative to send it to the door, instead of directly jumping on it and replacing thinking with his lower body.

"Quite observant, I now understand why the Duke thinks so highly of you. Come, come to bed, I have a little gift for you. The woman licked her lips and invited.

Obviously, she is none other than Sophia, who was plotted by a succubus not long ago.

Due to the influence of evil spells, she completely abandoned her proud self-esteem and became a sexy stunner who can make men boil with just a hook of her fingers.

But Zhang Cheng obviously didn't eat this set, and still responded quietly in the same place: "There's no need to go up, just take out the gift." Of course, if the gift refers to you, then please leave the room directly. I'm so tired right now that I need to get a good night's sleep instead of wasting my remaining energy on women, and God knows if you're going to suddenly stab me in the heart with a dagger when you're defenseless. ”

"Hehehehe, you're actually afraid of a ** woman?Should I praise you for being cautious, or should I laugh at you for being timid?" Sophia let out a chuckle, rolled over and jumped out of bed, and threw a yellowed book over.

Out of caution, Zhang Cheng didn't pick it up directly with his hands, and watched the thick book fall to the ground with a thud.

Looking at the cover full of ominous patterns, he immediately frowned and asked, "What is this?"

"As you can see, it's a book, a book that chronicles how to summon and control demons. We've noticed that you seem to be interested in the ritual of summoning the Voidwalkers, so you've sent it here as a gesture of friendship. Sophia twisted her slender waist and came closer, explaining in a seductive voice.

When she spoke, she deliberately put her body very close, so that the faint smell of perfume on her body came out.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhang Cheng felt that after he smelled this smell, his interest in that aspect suddenly rose.

This change made his heart alarm bell, and he pushed the other party away mercilessly, and at the same time issued a warning: "Don't come near me, or I guarantee that you will either become a charred corpse or an ice sculpture." ”

"Wow, that's callous, I feel like I'm getting more and more like you now. Why don't you pretend to join the Syndicate, and then we join forces to be the Duke, and then you will be the chief, and I will be your assistant and lover, how about it?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested. When the gifts are gone, you can also go. I'll give you ten seconds, and before it disappears from my eyes, you'll understand how serious the consequences of angering a mage can be. Zhang Cheng raised his head, and his two eyes burst out with a chilling light.

You don't have to ask, he has begun to see Sophia as an NPC in the game, and if the other party doesn't leave, he will definitely not show mercy just because the other party is a sexy beauty......
