Betrayal, in fact, is not a very difficult thing.

It's a bit like a psychological defense, maybe you will hesitate and struggle before crossing that red line, but once there is enough temptation or life is threatened, then it is easy to cross.

Once the red line is crossed, the bottom line will no longer exist for a person.

There is no doubt that for Isolt, the moment he made up his mind to become a changemaker, he no longer regarded the city as his home, nor did he regard the tens of thousands of inhabitants living in it as his compatriots.

In his eyes, these were merely the price to be paid for the passage to the supreme temple of magic, a bargaining chip to exchange for esoteric magical knowledge.

Upon returning to the Spellcaster's Guild, the trio unanimous in their voices and concocted a huge lie that portrays Zhang Cheng's Tower as a dreamland of countless precious materials, magical knowledge, and treasures.

The most important thing is that the defense is not as tight as the leader imagined, as long as there are enough troops and spellcasters, they will definitely be able to capture it and reap unimaginable rewards.

However, Melrot, who is well-versed in magical knowledge and techniques, is strongly skeptical of this and refuses to participate in this carnival of "bandits".

But unfortunately, there were very few sane people like him, and in less than three days, the local lords had gathered a "large army" of two thousand people, including not only nobles eager to make a windfall, but also a small number of spellcasters, as well as a dozen so-called mercenaries and adventurers.

With dreams of making a fortune, the group headed straight into the forest, not realizing what terrible monsters were waiting for them in front of them.

As the procession of serpents faded away, Isolt stood on top of the tower and said to his companions, "We've succeeded! ”

"Don't worry, the message was sent a few hours ago. I wondered how they would react if they knew they were actually just a wild dog and that the target of the attack was a dragon? pain, remorse, despair, just thinking about it was funny. The middle-aged man with a mustache touched his chin and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

"In any case, they can't come back alive. Now, let's move a little bit and prepare for the arrival of that adult. The other glanced at the hustle and bustle of the crowd around him, his tone full of indifference and contempt.

As the saying goes, the two devils are always more shameless, more despicable, more distorted, and more all-encompassing than the real devils.

Because they need to prove to their new owners that they have broken off their past, and that they are a fierce and useful dog that can do a lot of dirty things that are inconvenient for their owners to do.

......

At the same time, far away on the upper floor of the tower deep in the forest, Zhang Cheng was sitting in his own chair, staring at Allens who was standing not far away with an expressionless face.

The young man held the news he had received not long ago, and read it in a slightly deep voice without hurry.

"Tower Master! They have successfully deceived the nobles in the city, and formed an army of more than two thousand people, of which one-third are city defenders, the other third are the private armies of the nobles, and one-third are mercenaries, adventurers, and people sent by various guilds. According to intelligence, they appear to have carried a large number of tools and parts necessary to make ultra-long-range stone throwers. ”

"Oh, stone-thrower?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully.

Allens obviously didn't know what this smile meant, and hurriedly nodded: "That's right! Almost everyone knows that magic towers have strong protective powers, so ordinary crossbows and frontal attacks don't help, and the only thing that can destroy the internal structure is the stones thrown by heavy catapults." I think it's likely that the lord wanted to use it to smash open the entrance and then have thousands of soldiers swarm up to win by numbers. ”

"Hehe, very well explained. But they obviously didn't know that they couldn't even get close to the tower, and they would all die in the forest outside. You know? I'm actually doing a great experiment, and it takes a lot of people to get involved and give their lives for this great experiment. ”

When Zhang Cheng said this, his two eyes kept staring at the young man, and at the same time, he was fully capable of directly exploring his thoughts.

As long as there is the slightest sign of rejection from the other party, then his life will come to an end at this moment, becoming part of the experimental material.

Interestingly, however, Allens did not reject this at all, but bowed with one hand to his chest, and replied in a slightly fanatical tone: "I understand! It is their supreme honor to give their humble life for your great experiment." ”

"Very well! You didn't disappoint me. Now, I've decided to give you a small reward, something big enough to change the magical credentials of mortals. Come on, drink him, and then you will experience what it means to be reborn. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng handed over a bottle of potion that shimmered with violet light.

"This ...... This is ?!!!!" The young man took the crystal bottle with both hands, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Because even the least sensitive to energy can clearly perceive the surging magical energy emanating from the violet liquid.

"Don't ask! Go back to your room and drink it! Although it may be a little painful at first, as long as you get through it, you will feel a wonderful feeling that you have never felt before. ”

"Thank you for your kindness and generosity! I swear I will always follow in your footsteps and serve your great plan. ”

"I hope so!"

......

After a short conversation, Allens immediately walked through the hallway and returned to his servant's room, unplugging the stopper and carefully pouring the violet liquid down his throat.

Next second!

A strong burning sensation poured down the esophagus into the stomach and intestines!

Suffering!

Tear!

Swell!

In just a few seconds or so, the skin on the surface of the body takes on a striking red color and exudes a hot temperature.

He just feels that every cell in his body is working beyond his limits!

But the pain came and went quickly, and in about a minute or so, the burning sensation suddenly turned into a cold spring of water rushing to the limbs and brain.

Moment!

Allens realized that his mind had become countless times broader than usual, and the magical energy stored in his body had also expanded countless times, as if only one thought could trigger violent energy resonance and vibration.
