Chapter 434: To each his own needs
Poof!
Poof!
Poof!
Standing in the top room of the tower, the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood, Aklem Gris, saw the energy emanating from the Shattered Crystal, and the old heart began to beat violently.
As an old mage who had survived to this day entirely on wishing and life-prolonging potions, he knew better than anyone what Clincinibhorn meant.
At the same time, the owner of the North Tower, the Spotted Wizard Dandiba, also stared at the glow of the Shattered Demon Crystal in the sunlight.
It took him a long time before he came back to his senses from the shock, gritted his teeth and cursed loudly, "Bastard! How dare he show off what should belong to me in public! No! I will never allow the Demon Crystal to fall into the hands of outsiders!"
Obviously, the executioner who personally murdered the previous lord of the North Tower, the cardinal wizard Mokai, and indirectly shaped the twisted personality of Akar Kessop, had long been aware of Clincibhorn's existence and was eager to be surprised.
Unfortunately, the blizzard blocked Icewind Dale's connection to the outside world, and he had to wait patiently for the winter to end.
In fact, just by revealing the Shattered Demon Crystal, Zhang Cheng made the arcane brotherhood, which was originally full of conspiracy and betrayal, surge, and the wizards who craved power and power could not refuse the temptation of the artifact.
Soon, under the leadership of Aklem Gris, the owners of the four minarets in the south, east, and west left their territory one after another, standing at the only entrance.
Weakened to the extreme, he almost forgot the last time he left the central spire, and even had to temporarily put down his power in order to extend his life that was about to come to an end, and let the internal struggle for power and profit within the organization.
But today, he saw an opportunity, a chance to get rid of the threat of death.
With the help of the Shattered Crystal, he is fully capable of improving and creating a new high-level life-extending magic, or simply replacing the deactivated body.
Seeing this group of high-ranking members of the Arcane Brotherhood with different expressions, Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery that was not easy to detect, and he stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly: "Good afternoon, respected wizards, I think you must be curious to know what purpose I am here now." ”
"No, I don't care about your purpose, just say the conditions, you unscrupulously show off the Broken Demon Crystal, aren't you just going to use it as a bargaining chip. Aklem Gris skips the parts that test each other and goes straight to the point.
Because he could feel that both in the crowd outside and his subordinates behind him were beginning to be lured by the power of Clincienbon and were in danger of losing control at any time.
"Hehe, that's right. I can give it to the Arcane Brotherhood for free, but in return, you must allow me to become the master of one of the towers and open up to me all the magical knowledge recorded in the library. Zhang Cheng made a request unhurriedly.
As a dragon of the evil faction, he couldn't get what he wanted from the spell-casting organizations of the good factions like Silvermoon City and Waterdeep City, and Am's Masked Mage Guild was too mysterious to recruit members.
Candle Castle is a good place, you can get the corresponding knowledge as long as you give money, but if you want to complete all your studies there, even robbing the wealth of ten adult dragons is not enough.
Therefore, the Arcane Brotherhood is the only choice at present, although in terms of substance, it is far better than the red-robed wizard of Shangsel, but it is enough for Zhang Cheng, who is still in the exploration period.
"You want to learn magic here?" said Aklem Gris's cloudy eyes, a look of surprise.
There's no way not to be surprised!
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the person standing in front of him was just a young man who looked a little strange, but he had already used magic to detect it, but he knew very well that the young man in front of him was actually a giant dragon.
Otherwise, where will he talk nonsense, just grab it directly.
Zhang Cheng smiled and nodded, "That's right, I'm eager to learn and explore the mysteries of magic, but I don't want to get involved in a messy struggle for power, so the owner of a tall tower is just enough for me." How, your answer is?"
Aklem Gris frowned, hesitated for a moment, and turned directly at the spotted wizard Dandiba and shot a deadly negative energy!
Moment!
The conspirator who had planned and killed the previous Lord of the North Tower suddenly turned blue, and fell to the ground without even making a sound.
Advanced Necromancy Magic - Finger of Death!
The other three tower masters present quickly recognized the terrifying spell they had just cast, and their pupils contracted and dilated violently.
They couldn't believe that a rival who could match them could be so easily killed by the supreme leader of the Arcane Brotherhood.
"Now, you're the Lord of the North Tower. All the rights, wealth, and status of Dandiba are inherited by you, even his corpse. Akelim Gris announced in a somber voice.
Although he was fully capable of settling the alternation of power in a relatively peaceful way, he deliberately chose the most drastic one in order to deter his men who were about to make a move and buy time for himself to study new spells.
Glancing at the corpse on the ground that was completely eroded by negative energy, Zhang Cheng handed the shattered magic crystal that radiated bright light to the other party without thinking, and bowed with a smile: "Thank you very much! ”
"You've made the right choice, and on behalf of the Arcane Brotherhood, I'm welcoming you to the team. Remember, you can do anything on your own turf, but you are never allowed to enter the central minaret without my invitation. Aklem Gris's tone was strongly warned.
In fact, anyone who dares to break in, no matter who it is, will immediately kill the killer.
After all, this mage tower, which is like a huge tree, has not awakened the tower spirit, and whoever controls the core can control the entire tower.
What does it mean to take control of the Mage Tower?
It means that he can freely extract the magic energy accumulated on weekdays, and instantly release a large number of terrifying damage spells, such as pieces of fireballs and lightning, most spellcasters simply cannot resist such a fierce attack, so he will never allow anyone other than himself to approach the control center.
"As you wish......" Zhang Cheng smiled nonchalantly, grabbed the corpse on the ground, and disappeared at the end of the stairs leading to the north tower in full view of everyone.
He believed that as soon as it got dark, the owners of the other three towers would secretly gather together to discuss how they could take the Shattered Crystal from Aklem Gris's hands and overthrow his tyrannical rule.
And the Shattered Demon Crystal was obviously very much looking forward to the arrival of destruction and chaos, and would not give the old mage the slightest reminder.
By the moment the assassination is launched, the entire Luskan will be in a state of chaos and panic!
He only needed to use a little of his pre-arranged chess pieces, and he could easily take the city under control.
Of course, before that, he needs to pick and cultivate a few cronies......
