Beyond the treacherous Mountains of the Ridge of the World, the lingering howls of wolves and the sound of the wind soon disappeared, replaced by a scene of revival of greenery.

You don't need to ask to know that the tall mountains running east-west not only block all kinds of dangerous beasts and monsters on the frozen wasteland, but also block the cold air flow to the south, which makes the group feel a lot more relaxed, and occasionally you can see passing caravans and carriages on the main road.

Although they set out in the early hours of the morning and camped after sunset, it took them more than two weeks to barely see the tall walls rising slowly over the horizon in front of them.

Standing on a small hillside, Bruno said to the barbarians who had left Icewind Dale for the first time, "That's the City of a Thousand Sails!

"It's unbelievable!" Wolfga's eyes widened in undisguised admiration.

After all, Luskan is a "big city" with a population of tens of thousands, with more than 15,000 houses alone, and the walls are full of watchtowers and arrow towers, and many soldiers are patrolling the walls with weapons and armor.

It may not be much compared to an extremely prosperous place like Waterdeep, but for a young barbarian who is only eighteen years old and has wasted almost all of his life in the tribe and the Ten Towns, Luskan is a different world entirely.

"Be careful, my friend, Luskan usually only welcomes merchants, and travelers like us are often turned away. Tristel pulled her hood and tried to hide herself completely.

He was obviously very aware of the great panic and trouble that his dark skin would cause if it was seen by outsiders.

Due to their reputation for bloodthirstiness, evil, and cruelty, the Dark Elves are not at all popular in the surface world, and many mercenaries and adventurers don't even need to ask about them at first, but directly pull out their weapons and kill them.

Just when Bruno touched his beard and wanted to mutter, Zhang Cheng stood up and said to the somewhat nervous ranger: "Since there is the gate of Luskan in front of us, I think we should be able to part ways." ”

"Separate?now?!" Trist raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Of course, I'm going to buy a house in the City of a Thousand Sails and settle down, and then join the Tower to learn about mystical magic. Oh, by the way, as a parting gift, these knick-knacks are for you. When you encounter danger, you just need to throw it hard, and it will immediately burst into blinding white light and scorching flames, I believe you must be too unfamiliar with this kind of thing. ”

After saying this, Zhang Cheng stuffed a small bag of five-colored transparent glass balls into the hands of the dark elves, and then led his men straight to the city gate, and the guards didn't know what to say, and then swaggered into the lively Luskan.

Seeing the two of them out of sight, Trist breathed a sigh of relief, took out one of them from the bag, narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "Can you release a magic prop that emits white light and flame......

"Hey, man, are you sure you want to keep what the dragon gave you?" asked Bruno with a wary expression.

"Don't worry, I know this magic prop as much as I know my scimitar. The Dark Elf Ranger smiled and comforted his friend.

He will never forget how his skilled father, Zaknava, used these humble gadgets to slaughter the priest of the Queen of Rose, bringing victory after victory to the evil family.

Seeing that the elf was full of confidence, the old dwarf shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Well, I hope you're right." Go and wake up the glutton, and we'll go into the city. ”

"No, let him sleep more! We'd better wait until dusk before we go into town. Trist reminded with half a face.

"Damn! I forgot if you didn't say it! Well, we should all go get some sleep and go into town at dusk. Bruno instantly remembered the attitude of the surface humans towards the dark elves, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

Although he was used to having a kind dark elf friend by his side, that didn't mean outsiders would think the same way.

......

At the same time, Zhang Cheng, who was walking on the streets of Luskan, was looking at this famous pirate city with a detached eye.

It has to be said that despite the chaotic way of rule, aggressive expansion, and various slave trades, it was indeed a paradise for merchants who did not like to follow the rules.

As long as you have money, you can buy anything you want, whether it's a strong warrior, a stoic coolie, a member of the opposite sex who can provide endless pleasure in bed, or even magic potions, weapons, armor, and power-ups that flow from the tower.

The daring pirates not only dared to attack all the human merchant ships in the entire Sword Sea region, but also occasionally landed on land and raided elven villages near the coastline.

Just a few minutes ago, Zhang Cheng saw a fat merchant buy a young and beautiful elf girl for a high price of 1,000 gold coins, and just after getting into the carriage, he remembered the piercing screams and struggles inside.

Greedy!

Hunger!

Desires from the deepest part of the soul!

Luskan is like a monster that never gets enough to eat, constantly devouring everything around him!

But unfortunately, this monster is still a little weak for the time being, and it is temporarily suppressed by the traditional forces around it.

After figuring out this, Zhang Cheng curled the corners of his mouth to reveal a demonic smile, and praised softly: "Let me remove the shackles for you and activate the beast in the deepest heart of every intelligent life......"

"Master, where are we going next?" asked Ian, in a low voice.

"I'm going to the Mage's Tower. As for you, find a way to infiltrate a pirate ship and become the captain first. Zhang Cheng said his plan without thinking.

As we all know, the City of a Thousand Sails is ruled by an alliance of Arcane Brotherhood and Pirates, and although the former has absolute control over the latter, without the latter, it would definitely be a mess.

If he wants to completely control and transform the city, pirates are an indispensable part of it, and he must have his own people to control it secretly.

Ian was not an idiot, and quickly realized his master's plan, bent down and bowed deeply: "Understood! Please rest assured, I will be the captain of a pirate ship in a week at most." ”

"Great! Remember, don't contact me unless you have to. There is likely to be some turmoil in Luskan next, and all we have to do is stand aside and watch ......"

With that, Zhang Cheng's eyes burst out with flames of madness and destruction, and he took out the shattered magic crystal directly from the pocket full of dust, raised it above his head, so that everyone around him could see the dazzling light it bloomed from, and swaggered towards the entrance of the tower.

I don't know if it was Clincibon's breathtaking power at work, or if people were attracted by the powerful magic that was unleashed, but he didn't even meet a single troublemaker along the way.
