"Why? Just your words?" Zhang Cheng let out a sneer.

Although he had already made up his mind to choose a strategic retreat, this did not prevent him from taking this opportunity to extort more benefits.

You must know that the goddess of magic controls the magic net, no matter which mage invents a new spell or improves the original spell, as long as it is cast through the magic net, it will be immediately known and recorded by the goddess.

As the elect of the goddess, whether it is Ilminster, Kelburn, or Lyra, Hembo, and Erastro, they all have a huge advantage that ordinary mages can never achieve, that is, a huge reserve of knowledge and spells, and these are exactly what Zhang Cheng lacks and desires the most.

Although the Arcane Brotherhood Library's collection is much richer than that of most independent mages, it is ultimately a small organization that cannot be put on the table, and is completely unable to compete with Silvermoon City, Waterdeep City, the Serre Empire, and Harua, which have a complete system and inheritance.

In fact, the Arcane Brotherhood has always been in contact with Serre's red-robed wizards, exchanging low-level spells that don't involve core secrets, and even providing a terrible drug that is smuggled into Silvermoon City and sold to some addicts.

However, this kind of intrigue cooperation has been completely terminated since Zhang Cheng came to power.

Therefore, he has no access to new knowledge and spells for the time being, and urgently needs a stable channel, especially for the research and development of legendary magic.

"You're not going to say no?" Erasdra was keenly aware of something, and a hint of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

"Why refuse? Everything in the world is valuable. If you can offer terms that are satisfactory to me, I don't mind giving up this place. By the same token, if the conditions do not satisfy me, then sorry, I will do my best to protect my property. If you dare to attack, I will sink this place into the ground forever......"

As the last word blurted out, a powerful energy emanated from around Zhang Cheng's body, followed by whether it was the ground or the cliff, it began to shake, as if there was an earthquake.

This is one of the abilities he has only recently tapped, and it is also the power of the earth that the Titans of the World of Azeroth have bestowed on the Black Dragon.

While he can't directly trigger a planet's horrific cataclysm like Deathwing, it's perfectly fine to create a slight earthquake in an area.

Feeling the slight tremor coming from the ground, Erasdra's eyes showed intense shock and vigilance, and it took a full minute before he asked aloud, "That's enough! Stop! Tell me, what do you want?"

"Knowledge! I want all the knowledge you have in your head, from the Seven Rings to Legendary Magic! In exchange, I promise that I will never fight the idea of the Mithril Hall again. Zhang Cheng waved his paw impatiently.

I don't know why, every time he sees the other person, he has an inexplicable disgust, longing for his complete destruction from physical to mental.

"Knowledge?" Erasdr didn't expect the terrifying black dragon in front of him to make such a request, and subconsciously frowned.

Normally, the five-colored dragon prefers treasure most of the time, and she had planned to pay a batch of gold and silver jewels in exchange for the Mithril Hall. But now it seems that it is not needed.

"Yes, I'll lead them away whenever you bring me what I want. You don't need to give me an answer right away, you can go back and think about it slowly. With that, Zhang Cheng gave the other party a meaningful look and slowly returned to the bottom along the canyon.

He believed that with Erastro's character, it was impossible to meet all the requirements, but at least half of them.

You must know that the last thing this "Lady of Hope" wants to see at the moment is the outbreak of war, which will cause a lot of contradictions hidden under the surface of the plain, which will lead to the bankruptcy of her plan to unite the surrounding towns of Silvermoon City.

For a woman who has made politics her life's goal, she would rather pay a little price for temporary peace.

Zhang Cheng keenly grasped the weakness, or flaw, of his opponent's character, and didn't care at all whether Luskan would be devastated, and had the power to subvert the entire situation in the Northland if necessary.

Anyway, in his eyes, Luskan is just a tool to achieve his goals, and he will abandon it when he should abandon it, and he will not fight to the death for the city at all.

But Erastro can't, she sees Silvermoon City as something more important than her own life, and is willing to sacrifice everything, including her own life, for Silvermoon City.

The huge difference between the two made the negotiation unequal from the beginning, and the only thing Astrastra could do was to minimize the cost to himself and make sure that the dangerous and forbidden knowledge in his mind was not used by the other side.

......

At the same time, Artemis Ntrili, hundreds of kilometers away, stayed on the deck of a merchant ship, squinting his eyes and feeling the oncoming sea breeze.

Not far behind him, Regis was cautiously crouching in the corner, his eyes full of fear for the future.

Because the halflings knew that once they returned to Port Karin, the guild leader, Puck, would be very happy to let himself taste the most painful penal law in the world.

"Little thief, you know? Actually, I didn't intend to catch you, I just wanted your gem pendant, but that dark elf made me change my mind. Eun Choi said without looking back.

"Don't be complacent! My friends will find me! Trist can beat you once, and he can beat you a second time. Regis retorted through gritted teeth.

The killer smiled and shook his head, "Hahahaha! You don't understand who I'm working with, do you? This time, I'll kill the Dark Elves in Karin Harbor and use his blood and life to prove that my path is the right one." Enjoy the last good moments, and when the ship docks, your life will be countdown. If I were you, I'd prepare a poison to hide now, and take it when Puck starts torturing you, which will save you a lot of sin. ”

"I'm not going to die, I'm not going to kill myself, my friends will come and get me out!" he said to himself as he watched the other man leave the deck, biting his lower lip and in a voice that only he could hear.

It is not difficult to tell from his trembling legs that he is just comforting himself and giving himself an excuse not to commit suicide.

After all, since they were held hostage and escaped from the Mithril Hall, the two of them were directly teleported to Luskan under the help of the dragonman mage, and boarded the southbound merchant ship. It was at least half a month's journey.

It is impossible for Trist and his party to catch up, and even if they do, Regis is estimated to have turned into a mutilated corpse.

Unbeknownst to the halfling, of course, Ntreili wasn't going to go too fast, and he would leave some obvious trails in various ports along the way for the dark elves to catch up.

As Zhang Cheng mentioned before, the game between the two has just begun......
