"Hello, Venerable Lord of the North Tower. My name is Gildan, and I am very honored to be received by Jin. As soon as the junior officer in the Luskan armor entered the door, he immediately touched his chest with one hand and bowed deeply.

As an ambitious middle-aged man, he knows very well where the real power in the city comes from, not the great commanders who pretend to be high, nor the pirate alliance that comes and goes, but the "stone tree" tower that towers over the estuary island.

A wizard with powerful magical powers can give orders to the Grand Commander and the Pirate Alliance like a slave.

To date, no one has dared not carry out the orders given by the Arcane Brothers, even if they cost them dearly.

So he was eager to curry favor with the wizards who had supreme power in Luskan in exchange for his own higher power and status in the military system.

Zhang Cheng sat on the chair, looked each other up and down, and after a long while, he asked, "Then tell me, Gildan, what kind of service did you provide to Dan Tiba before?"

"It's information, my lord. My eyes are all over Luskan, and I can quickly recognize and monitor people who enter the city from land or sea. In fact, I had been secretly observing a group of adventurers from Icewind Dale, as Dandiba had ordered. Among them are powerful barbarians, skilled dark elves, grumpy dwarves and an interesting halfling. Gildan is careful to describe his worth.

Because before entering this room, he had been warned by Sinnie that he would not dare to play the usual tricks at all.

Especially when he learned that the latter had changed from a completely unbeautiful female apprentice to a stunner who could make all men's hearts flutter under the influence of unknown magical powers, his heart was filled with awe and fear.

"Oh, are you following Trist?" Zhang Cheng touched his chin with interest.

Undoubtedly, he remembered who the middle-aged officer in front of him was, and he also remembered that at a special moment, it was the other party who had completed his first contact with the famous killer Endruri.

"Yes, sir. The dead Dandiba believed that the dark elves were hiding a powerful magical item, and I had been tracking them down for him. Gildan replied in the affirmative without thinking.

After all, the previous allegiance was dead, and there was no need for him to keep a secret.

"Good! Keep an eye on them. If one day you find a man named Artemis Ntrili, remember to bring him to me as soon as possible. As a reward, I will give you a very precious gift. With that, Zhang Cheng waved his hand lightly, signaling that the other party could retreat.

"Thank you so much!"

Although Gildan didn't quite understand what the young looking mage sitting in his chair was thinking, today's contact was certainly a pretty good start.

Seeing the officer disappear at the end of the corridor, Sinnie, who stood motionless, suddenly spoke tentatively: "Master, I don't understand. Now that the Shattered Crystal is no longer in the hands of the Dark Elves, why do you even want to keep an eye on the hillbillies?"

"Hehe, have you heard of the Mithril Hall?" Zhang Cheng asked suddenly.

"That fabled kingdom of the destroyed dwarves is said to be home to a huge Mithril vein like a stream of silver?" Cini had obviously heard the legend about the Mithril Hall, and subconsciously frowned.

Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly: "That's right, as far as I know, the purpose of Trist's party is to help their friend Dwarf Bruno find his hometown belonging to the Warhammer family." ”

"I still don't understand! What do they have to do with you looking for the Mithril Hall?, are you planning to seize this underground vein?" said the female apprentice, looking up at her master out of the corner of her eye.

"Capture? No, I don't need to capture at all. You don't know, the Mithril Hall has been occupied by a black dragon named Shimmer for hundreds of years, and his gray dwarves have already mined and smelted an inexhaustible supply of Mithril ingots. All I need to do is wait for them to find the entrance, then take all the treasures that are ready, and put the gray dwarves to work for me. Zhang Cheng didn't mean to hide it, and generously said the plan in his heart.

According to the memory in his mind, he knew that it took more than half a year from the discovery of the entrance to the Mithril Hall to the formation of an alliance to expel the gray dwarves and restore Bruno's status as the rightful king.

This meant that he had plenty of time to empty the underground treasure and even exploit the entire vein before the coalition was actually formed and attacked.

With the deadly heat of the Dragon's Breath, it only took him a few weeks to melt the ore that would normally take years to mine.

"I see!"

Sini noticed that when she said this, Zhang Cheng's eyes burst into a chilling madness, and she decisively gave up her intention to continue questioning, and quickly turned around and left the room.

As an apprentice who had tried her best to earn a wizard title, she had seen the terrifying power and methods of this terrifying master who had almost changed her fate, and there was no trace of luck in her heart.

......

Meanwhile, during the public break on the lower level of the central spire, Aklem Gris's most trusted assistant, the Blue Fire Mage, has now been reduced to a cold corpse.

He still had an expression of disbelief on his face before he died, as if he never dreamed that his master's closest followers would stab a dagger blessed with "Elimination Magic" into the back of his heart, so that as soon as the set protective magic was triggered, it was dispelled by the power of the enchanted dagger.

"Hmph, as expected, a perfect assassination, Aklem Gris was completely unaware. One of the masterminds sneered and sarcastic.

"Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and get rid of the body!Cheek, we need you to temporarily disguise this guy with a transfiguration spell for a few days!" another mastermind quickly issued a series of orders.

"Got it!"

The middle-aged man known as Chek didn't talk nonsense, and immediately chanted a spell, and in a few moments he transformed into the form of a corpse on the ground.

In order to prevent the flaws from being revealed, he even stripped the corpse of clothes, rings, amulets, and boots, and then put them on his body one by one, and used magic to repair the cuts and blood stains on the robes.

I'm afraid Aklem Gris would never have dreamed that he would only get the Shattered Crystal in the afternoon, and then a conspiracy against him would begin in the evening.

However, it is a pity that he has devoted himself to controlling the Broken Demon Crystal and studying the magic of life extension, and he has no energy to care about the turmoil within the organization, let alone that the main tower has been overrun by the conspirators.

In just an hour's work, the mages and apprentices who had been loyal to him were all purged and replaced by a group of assassins disguised by transfiguration spells......
