"Lord Benefactor, Lord Grace, it's an honor for you two to appreciate it." Gross was neither humble nor arrogant, and performed a standard aristocratic salute.

Lan Wu and Grez glanced at each other in unison. They all heard a faint anger in Gross's tone. The two then saluted together.

The three went up to the second floor. Glasgow and a few barbarians who were drinking immediately rose to their feet and stood in front of the stairs. Witnessing a few of their stout savages, the rest of the professionals looked sideways and began to talk about each other.

"On behalf of His Majesty Jehein, I extend an invitation to you." As soon as Gross sat down, he got straight to the point.

"What invitation?" Lan Wu's heart moved.

Gross fell silent. The second floor has been cleared, and only their table remains. The entire second floor was empty, completely away from the usual noise, and the silence was so unusually uncommon that even a pin could be heard falling on the ground.

"I'm sorry, it's a relic."

Jayhain's tired sigh resounded in his mind, and the anger that Gross had managed to suppress came back again. When his friend said such a sentence, it was clear that he was heard when the two were talking in secret. As a result, the major families joined forces to put pressure on His Majesty.

Ancient ruins, ruins of Nevere. This famous alchemist of the Hradim clan is as famous as the legendary mage Tarasia, who sealed Baal with his body, and the ruins he left behind are certainly not mortal. It's even comparable to the seven ancient tombs hidden in Warlock's Canyon.

Rugoin rose to prominence through the seven tombs of Tarasha. Unearthing the ruins of Nevere will inevitably make Rugoin stronger. If it had been placed in the past, he would definitely ask His Majesty Jehein to take this ancient relic alone.

But for now, he would rather trade this precious relic for Lan Wu's friendship.

There is only a limit to the treasures that a relic can contain. And a thriving Rog camp is a rare treasure that cannot be estimated.

Camp Rog sits in the isolated city of Tristram with an unrivalled solid rear. Civilians have a peaceful environment far more important than an ancient ruin.

Population is the most critical factor in determining a stronghold.

Camp Rogge has Tristram as a solid rear, and it can develop with peace of mind. In a few decades, the size of Camp Rogue will swell to an appalling proportion. Civilians are no longer threatened by demons, and this is the best means of attracting the population. At that point, Camp Rog will only need to hook the little finger, and there will definitely be countless civilians rushing to join it. The population base is large, and the number of occupations that emerge will also swell to a terrible number.

The reason why Lugoin was able to catch up with the seaport of Kurast, in addition to the factor of excavating the seven ancient tombs of Talashya, the most important thing is that Lugoin has a population of more than 100,000. The huge population base has brought a high birth rate of professional workers to Lugoin, and the many ancient relics in the ancient tombs of Talasha have made Lugoin what it is today.

But now it's all a sandcastle on the beach, which can be broken by just a small wave. This little wave is what Camp Rogge is today.

"Why don't you stand up for me?" Gross had a heart ache, and a touch of sadness quietly welled up in his heart. The future he vaguely saw after being eroded by Rodament's power made it difficult for him to accept.

He could understand the pressure on Jayhain. But he couldn't understand that his once far-sighted confidant would not be able to see the facts in front of him. Missing this opportunity to turn enemies into friends with Rog's camp, Lugoin is left with only illusory prosperity.

"Family ......" Gross's eyes suddenly sharpened, and the black pattern under his skin that had not completely faded suddenly flashed. The right hand under the table was clenched tightly, and the nails were deeply rooted in the palm.

"Ahem." Lan Wu didn't get an answer from Gross for a long time, and coughed heavily.

The sound of coughing woke Gross up. He was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly explained apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't figure out His Majesty's edict, and I was distracted for a while. ”

Lan Wu smiled and was noncommittal: "You just said that His Majesty Jie Haiyin invited me?" ”

Gross took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, while lowering his voice: "His Majesty Jehein recently got a map. In the friendship between Lugoin and Camp Rogue, His Majesty would like to invite you to participate in an excavation of the ruins. ”

Before the words fell, Lan Wu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Gross to invite him to the tavern to discuss the matter. He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Grez. The latter is also somewhat implausible.

Everyone knows what a relic means. But if it falls into the hands of Jie Haiin, will he take the initiative to give it to Lan Wu, an outsider?

Grez felt like he didn't have enough brains. The excavation of the ruins that Gross is talking about, the Eight Achievements, is the unconfirmed news that is currently circulating among the higher-ups of Lugoin.

I thought that if I wanted to get a piece of the pie from the ruins of Nefer, I could only rely on Lan Wu, an outsider. I didn't expect it to become this situation in a blink of an eye. The ruins of Nevere, I want it myself. But would Jay Hine be so generous, and let himself participate again?

Lan Wu witnessed the tangle in Grez's eyes. The mind also came alive. The ruins of Nevere, he didn't need much. A book of town teleportation, a Hradic block, and gone.

The Book of Town Teleportation is known as one of the two great divine books for novices, and its function is not insignificant. This is inevitable, even if it is to turn his face with the entire Lu Gaoin. And the Heradic Cube, which gathers the most quintessential knowledge of the Hradim family, is also an inevitable prop.

This world does not explode potions, gems, or runes when fighting monsters. Only equipment and gold are exploded. Gems and runes aside. At the moment, Camp Rogue can only concoct minor healing potions. Lu Gaoin had light healing potions and a small number of healing potions for sale, but he preferred that Camp Rog would be self-sufficient and no longer dependent on external supplies. The Heradic Cube, the pinnacle of alchemy, is an indispensable and rare item.

Aside from these two ancient items, nothing else matters. But in the face of this unique ancient prop, will Jayhain, or Lu Gaoin, agree to give up this strategic-level magic prop?

The answer is clearly no.

After thousands of years of development, Lu Gaoyin relied on strong walls and an endless stream of professionals and mercenaries to resist the demons, and the results were very good. Now that the city guards are ordinary people, they also have the strength to at least reach the level of mercenaries, and Lu Gao has the confidence to call for the seaport of Kurast and compete for the reputation of the third largest human stronghold.

In today's world, fame means intangible wealth, enough to attract more civilians. That's the stake on the surface. How could Lu Gaoin cede such a large benefit to Camp Rogge.

The more Lan Wu thought about it, the more serious his expression became. Lugoin now clearly has an absolute advantage. There are many people, and the strength is difficult to match. Although he has the plug-in of Rodament, if he wants to fight the whole of Lugoin alone and grab the Book of Town Teleportation and the Heradic Block, it is only possible in a dream.

Weighing the pros and cons, Lan Wu retracted his thoughts, looked into Gross's eyes and asked, "Nevere's ruins?" ”

Gross smiled and did not deny it: "Yes, the relics left by the most outstanding alchemist of the Hradim clan, Nefre. His Majesty knows that there is some misunderstanding between Lu Gaoin and Camp Rog, and hopes that through this joint excavation, the friendship between the two sides will be saved. Camp Rogge will share in one of those gains. Of course, as an envoy to Camp Rogg, His Majesty allows you to pick a magic item first. ”

Hearing this, Grez's face changed slightly. Camp Rog got a good harvest for nothing, and this gift was heavy enough. And the focus of Gross's remarks is obviously on the last sentence.

Pick first, this condition is enough to drive anyone crazy. As the most prominent alchemist of the Hradim clan, what kind of garbage will exist in the ruins? The answer is clearly no. Any item is priceless. It's a big gift.

Jayhain also values this benefactor?

"Lord Grez, if you are willing to send mercenaries to accompany you, Your Majesty will also allow the mercenary union to share half of it." Gross turned his gaze to Grez.

"It's a deal." Grace furrowed her brow, reliably acknowledging it. Half of the harvest of a relic is enough for the mercenary guild to continue to exist. Instead of coveting more, it is better to take your share honestly.

"Pick one first?" Lan Wu looked at Gross playfully.

"That's what Your Majesty meant." Gross shrugged and said frankly, "If it were me, I would give you the entire ruin." ”

When Grace heard this, the corners of his eyebrows jumped. This news is too shocking to accept at all. The whole ruin, can you swallow it alone?

Not only Grez, but Lan Wu was also taken aback. As if he was looking at a stranger, he looked Gross up and down, and maliciously wondered whether the Lu Gaoyin person in front of him was impersonated by a demon, and actually came up with such a sentence.

Is this still the arrogant and conceited Gross?

Lan Wu smiled dumbly and asked rhetorically, "Are you willing to give me the entire ruin?" ”

Gross shrugged indifferently: "If I hadn't found that map, this relic would have belonged to you." ”

Hearing this, Lan Wu raised his eyebrows, a little incredulous. He was careful enough to disguise his purpose, and he gave up looking for clues and took the risk of contracting with Rodament, in order to avoid attracting the attention of Lu Gaoin as much as possible. Unexpectedly, this Gross not only found the clue, but also further guessed his ultimate goal.

"It's not easy." Lan Wu sighed with emotion. After all, there are still a lot of smart people.

"I'll invite you myself on the day of departure. Allow me now to show you our unique cuisine in Lugoin. Gross smiled and clapped his hand.

A group of coolly dressed maids walked up, and soon a whole table of desert-style delicacies was filled. Immediately afterwards, another group of bewitching dancing girls came and began a seductive dance that made people feel excited.

Lan Wuwan simply put aside distracting thoughts and enjoyed this desert-style meal wholeheartedly.
