Chapter 16: Temptation
"Your Excellency, did you mean that you just invited a complete stranger to join us?"
As a young woman without any background, she climbed from the bottom step by step to her current position, and paid unimaginable sacrifices, so she couldn't accept that anyone could be equal to herself as soon as she entered the organization, or even climb on her head to give orders.
Duke Facurrest grabbed the reins, stopped the horse, and then stared at the other man's beautiful emerald green eyes, and after a long time slowly spoke: "Whatever? Do you think so, or do you think I made a stupid mistake?"
"No! I didn't mean that!, please don't get me wrong!" Sophia was visibly startled by the stern tone, and hurriedly shook her head desperately.
Since seeing how Drew died, her fear and awe of the leader had risen to an unprecedented level, for fear of accidentally angering the other party and following in the former's footsteps.
After all, the syndicate is not a charitable organization, and if the higher-ups feel that a member has a problem, then the way to deal with it will definitely not be to dismiss him, but to arrange him to a mortal mission, even if he is lucky not to be killed by the enemy, he will die at the hands of his own people at the last moment.
In fact, Sophia had already executed at least ten suspected spies herself, and knew very well what would happen if she aroused the Duke's suspicions.
"Hmph, idiot woman! You can't understand how much that mage means to us. Once he chooses to join us, we'll get an eyeliner inside Dalaran. This alone can give the entire organization a huge intelligence advantage. But you, you're still thinking about the pitiful power in your hands. ”
With unrelenting sarcasm, the warlock, who had always hidden in the dark, finally removed his hood, revealing the orc's signature green skin and fangs, a female orc, to be exact.
However, unlike most orcs' sturdy and rude figures, she seemed to be a little thin, and her cunning gaze was constantly scanning her surroundings, and anyone she looked at would involuntarily lower their heads.
I'm afraid it's hard for outsiders to imagine that an orc can achieve such a high status in an organization full of humans.
"I care about power?!I'm worried about the organization being infiltrated by guys of unknown origin! Have you forgotten what damage a spy from Stormwind City caused when he infiltrated half a year ago?" Sophia argued loudly.
The orc sorceress pursed her lips in disdain, turned directly to Duke Facurrest and said, "Your Excellency, I think it is necessary to seduce that young mage. In my experience, a human being of this age is usually unable to withstand temptation, whether it is power, or wealth, or power, or wealth, and there is always a desire that can arouse the hidden depths of his heart. ”
"Oh, dear Marez, if I'm not mistaken, you must have evil plans again, right?" Duke Facurrest curled the corners of his mouth slightly, an expectant expression on his face.
"That's right! During the battle just now, I noticed that the young mage was very interested in the Voidwalker, so I have a book here on summoning and controlling demons, which I believe will surely arouse his interest. And then we need a thorny rose......"
Speaking of which, the orc sorceress, known as Marez, stared at Sophia meaningfully, and the meaning of her words was self-evident.
"Bastard! I'm not a prostitute! don't want me to do such a shitty thing!" Sophia clenched her fists, undoubtedly feeling insulted.
I believe that if it weren't for the Warlock being followed by a Void Walker, she would have rushed up and punched the other person in the face.
"Calm down, Marez has a point, I think you should sacrifice a little bit for the organization. Of course, I don't mean that you have to have something to do with him, for men, it's best not to get it. By the way, this is up to you, Marez, to do it!"
"As you wish......"
Before Sophia could react, a bewitching succubus suddenly appeared in the darkness and opened her mouth to kiss her soft lips.
In just a few seconds, her eyes began to drift, and then began to enter a state of extreme pleasure, and by the time they separated, she had completely lost herself and became a slave of the other party.
"Hehe, what a tempting little snack. Command, my dear master, what do you need her to do?"
"Quite simply, I want her to seduce a young mage. ”
"Understood, as you wish. ”
......
At the same time, the caravan, which was two kilometers away, also set off overnight in the direction of Dalaran.
The frightened old George no longer wanted to stay around the wooden house full of corpses for another minute, and after obtaining Zhang Cheng's permission, he quickly organized the coachmen and loaded all the books and boxes in the room into the carriage.
As for Zhang Cheng himself, he lay silently on one of the carriages, quietly took out the strange parchment scroll, only to see that it was written: The Eyes in the Dark task is complete, and you have obtained a professional skill - alchemy.
"Sure enough, just like last time, the corresponding knowledge is directly instilled into the brain. Now I can concoct some simple magic potions. He muttered quietly as he read his memory.
Unlike in-game recipes that can be crafted directly, real magic potions require a series of specialized tools, complex steps, and exquisite craftsmanship.
Mistakes in any one of the links will result in the entire bottle of potion being scrapped.
However, the alchemy profession has allowed him to see a way to make money, at least after returning to that familiar and unfamiliar earth, he does not have to continue to make a living by washing dishes.
"Law...... Mr. Mage, please have an apple. ”
Just when Zhang Cheng was thinking about how to use alchemy to make money, a timid voice interrupted him.
Old George's daughter, Jenny, climbed into the carriage at some point, holding a large, red apple in her hand.
"Thank you. ”
Zhang Cheng politely thanked him, took it and took a bite, looked up at the twinkling starlight in the night sky with his back to the sky, and fell asleep unconsciously.
I don't know how long it took, anyway, when he opened his eyes, the sun had already climbed overhead, and he was just about to turn over, when he suddenly felt something soft under his head, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Jenny's legs.
It turned out that this little guy used his legs as a pillow for him all night, and the expression on his face was very uncomfortable at the moment, and he knew that he didn't need to ask, it must be sour and numb......
