Li De took a deep breath, and his thoughts slowly returned to the normal track.

The biggest problem now is to confirm the authenticity and reliability of the Mithril Vein, as well as the power of the orcs.

It can be said that all the information of this news is vague, and it would undoubtedly be a foolish thing to send troops to war just by hearing this news.

If Laurent was talking about something else, such as the dragon's treasure or something, Li De might not even be willing to pay attention to it.

But, Mithril, that's Mithril.

And it's an entire Mithril vein.

If this news is true, it will be worth even the price.

The temptation is too great.

There are many types of precious and rare metals in Glory, but no matter how you rank them, Mithril can be ranked in the top three.

Mages can use Mithril to create magic scrolls, draw magic circles, and even craft magic potions.

Warriors can use Mithril to forge armor, craft weapons, and craft shields.

Mithril has a powerful and mysterious power, as long as it is added to Mithril's weaponry, the sharpness and solidity will be greatly increased, and it can also be equipped with powerful magic resistance.

As long as there is enough Mithril ore, Li De can more than double the combat power of the army in Daybreaker.

It's so domineering.

How much can a good sword improve a warrior? What about a good shield? What about a good suit of armor? What about a mage's robes that can speed up mana regeneration and even increase mana?

The power of this magical metal is too good to be overstated.

So although the news that Li De heard from Laurent was very vague and uncertain, it was enough to make his heart move.

It's like someone telling him that there is an unhatched dragon egg in a cave on the edge of a cliff, and that if you go in and hatch, the dragon will be yours.

No matter how vague and uncertain the news is, as long as there is the slightest possibility, 99% of people will go to the cave to take a look.

Although it is likely to be fake, but, what if? What if it's true?

Who can resist this temptation.

In the west side of Green City, in a spacious and extravagant aristocratic manor, hundreds of energetic professionals patrol the manor, their expressions are very vigilant.

As the Dark Covenant regains its foothold in the West, many of the gangs that had been hunted like lost dogs have been sheltered again.

The power of the Covenant of Darkness has swelled again.

Although it is not enough to catch up with the subversive period of Viscount Bernard, it is enough to crush the ordinary underground forces.

When Li De, who exuded a gloomy aura, followed Betty, who was wearing a black mask, into the manor, he immediately attracted onlookers who were helped by the Dark Covenant.

Originally, a few newcomers wanted to step forward to stop them, but a few old men who had seen Li De immediately stopped them, and watched the two of them drive straight into the backyard with extremely respectful faces.

Cheng Kun, the thunderbolt hand of the mixed yuan, these three spring breezes are proud, and the players who have already mixed with the squad leader happened to see this scene, and they were immediately a little curious.

This momentum looks like a big boss.

"Master Draco, who is that?"

Draco's face showed a bit of adoration, and his tone was full of pride, "Mixed Yuan, that is the true master of the Dark Covenant - His Majesty Iro, and the vice president of the Demon Heart, is our protection. ”

The three of them were shocked when they heard this name, and turned their heads again, but unfortunately Li De's figure had disappeared from their sight.

One of the most extravagant rooms in the backyard of the manor.

"Under the Crown of Iro"

"Under the Crown of Iro"

After seeing Li De, Grout and Stanley bowed in unison, and very faithfully fulfilled Li De's admonition to them, in the Dark Covenant, there was only Iro.

Li De, who bared his fangs, was full of darkness, completely different from Li De of the Scarlet Mage Tower.

Li De, who has become a blood clan in appearance, is even more mysterious, although the two are somewhat similar, but the aura is too different, it is impossible for anyone to see the two as the same person.

Even Li De dared to pack a ticket, even if Wei Na came, he might not be able to get the two involved.

"Well, here today, there is a very important matter, we heard the news of the Mithril vein"

Hiss~

Leed's words made Stanley and Grlot look at each other, their faces full of surprise.

Mithril? And it's still a vein??

"Your Majesty, is this true? This news is amazing......" Stanley said with a hint of surprise in his heart.

Li De nodded, recounted the information reported by Laurent to the two of them again, and finally began to arrange the task directly.

"Stanley, you personally take people here and get the dwarves back from the inn, remember, don't alarm anyone,"

Li De took out the address written by Laurent and handed it to Stanley, with a little coldness in his eyes.

"I'm not sure if this dwarf who is connected to Laurent is the only one.

Or it is likely that this dwarf is just a decoy on the surface, and there is another dwarf in the shadows.

So you must use your power to seal off this area in the shadows, and check for other dwarves in this area.

If you find a dwarf, bring them all back."

After speaking, he glanced at Betty with a mask behind him, "Betty went to assist Stanley, that dwarf is likely to be the bait pushed by the dwarf in the shadows, and there may be other dwarves in the shadows."

You don't have to catch them all, you can't miss any of them."

"As you wish, my master" Betty immediately became excited after hearing that there was likely to be a battle next, and responded to Li De with a rare word.

A little contemplation flashed in Li De's eyes, in fact, he had received too little information, and he didn't even dare to fully believe the information that Laurent had passed on to him.

It's not that Laurent is disloyal, it's that he can't be sure if the dwarves have cheated on Laurent.

Therefore, he could only use the most straightforward way to directly bring back all the dwarves in this area.

As one of the three giants of the underground world of Green City, even if he was half-crippled before, it is easy for him to still do this.

"Stanley, be careful, this time the stakes are high, I need you to use all the power at your disposal, be sure to do this well, do it quietly"

Li De's serious eyes made Stanley realize the importance of this matter, and nodded resolutely.

"Your Majesty, as you wish"

Then she turned to leave, and Betty followed with her greatsword.

Grote was the only one left in the room.

"Under the Crown"

"Grote, has the Dark Covenant recently recruited adventurers from another world?"

Grote was slightly stunned when he heard this, and remembered the immortal soul formed by Stanley, "Your Majesty, Stanley personally recruited three undead who had lost the plane.

He also signed a contract with them, and formed a new department with these immortals as the core, the Immortal Soul ......"

Li De, who had just sat down to drink a glass of water, was almost choked, what the hell? Stanley has recruited three players and has also formed a division for them called Immortal Souls?

Do you want to be so fast, the Scarlet Mage Tower can recruit players, after all, it is a force in the limelight in Green City.

But the underground force of the Dark Covenant has recruited players so quickly??

And Stanley's consciousness is so advanced that he has set up a player-oriented department.

As if to see Lide's surprise, Grlot continued to explain.

"Lord Lid, Stanley said that the undead have the ability to be reborn, and if they can be cultivated, it will be of great help to the Covenant of Darkness.

Moreover, the number of undead in this group of lost planes is very large, and the first batch of descendants to the main plane of glory reached 100,000, and there may be more people in the future.

With their ability to regenerate, they have a better chance of becoming a powerhouse.

Unable to deal with the unknown risks of the future, Stanley decides to cultivate these undead.

After all, dealing with the undead can only reduce our losses by fighting the undead,

Stanley said you would definitely agree with his plan if you were there."

Although Grote always had some doubts about Stanley's stride, he took the initiative to explain to the other party after Leader asked questions.

Everything they did was to better develop the Dark Covenant, and they were both second-generation bloodlines, and the mutual trust between the two was already very high, not the state of mutual wariness before.

Li De could only nod appreciatively at Stanley's actions.

Of these second-generation bloodlines, he had the least contact with Stanley.

After transforming the other party into a bloodline, in addition to taking him to negotiate with the Heart Eater Wales once, he directly threw the Dark Covenant to him to manage, and the two of them met no more than 5 times.

But I didn't expect that this original Evening Bell Church Dark Sacrifice had such a far-sighted vision that it would be able to make the decision to build up player power and use players against players.

He was pleasantly surprised by this operation.

It seems that we will have to pay more attention to this dark sacrifice in the future, maybe we can put him in a more useful place in the future.

This kind of strong and intelligent cutting-edge talent is indeed very rare.

"Well, yes, the undead of the Lost Plane do have a lot of potential, Grote, don't underestimate these guys who are still very weak.

Each of them may be a top professional in the future, although the process is still very long, but after all, there is more hope than ordinary people.

Don't skimp on our resources.

Of course, the premise of all this is that we can fully control them, and this group of immortals, what they like to do most is to do things", Li De told Grote uneasily.

Although the player is weak now, these guys will slowly grasp a certain voice over time.

Although the operation law of the Glory World determines that the role of these Glory NPCs is irreplaceable by the player, and the player will not play a big role in a short time,

But the sooner you lay out in advance, the more room you have for action in the future.

Although the player is a natural disaster, it may not be a valuable resource in Li De's view.

At present, most of the glorious forces do not recognize the potential of players, and if he takes action in advance to collect a group of players with the most potential, it will definitely be of great help to him in the future.

Thinking of this, Li De's eyes were already a little eager to try, and the thoughts in his mind began to diverge.

If you want to win over players, you must establish an effective system, similar to a player's guild, that can create cohesion among players, and also make the interests of players firmly tied to him.

For example, points, such as contributions, this is the most direct way, you can get points or contributions by completing certain tasks, and accumulating to a certain contribution can improve your authority to buy and learn higher-level magic, and so you can bind them step by step.

Of course, this is only a rough idea, and the real plan needs to be refined in detail.

And this matter is not in a hurry, although the player has arrived, he estimates that he will not be able to make any waves in half a year, and he still has enough time to operate.

Now the more important target is the vein of Mithril discovered by the dwarves.

If this news is true, then in the next period of time, the three huge forces of Daybreak, Dark Covenant, and Scarlet Mage Tower will all turn around for this.

No one can resist the temptation of a vein of Mithril.

A vein of Mithril is worth as much as getting a full-grown dragon, and who can resist owning one?

No.

——————

Night falls.

Green City South, a hotel 500 blades away from the Golden Wheat Chamber of Commerce.

On the third floor, after going up the stairs, the innermost room is not large, and it looks a little simple.

Warm yellow magic lamps illuminate the room.

Two dwarves in gray armor sat at the oak round table in the room, their expressions very serious.

The long beard covers the entire face, and even the eyes seem to be hidden by the lush beard on the face.

Two shimmering silver warhammers, one with a sharp blade and the other flat with an unknown pattern on them, were placed at the hands of the two men, their exaggerated weight pressing a deep crack in the wooden floor.

The two of them sat at the table, but they could clearly feel that the round table designed for humans had made them sit slightly higher, and the table that should have reached their abdomen was to their chest.

Anakin Hammer stared solemnly at his companion with horned helmets and a small but muscular body.

"Master Valen, can Laurent, a human merchant, be trusted?

Will the Crimson Mage Tower's heart be drawn to the Mithril Ore Vein? Would that archmage wage war against the orcs for the Mithril vein? ”

Listening to a series of questions, Valen Brutehammer's black bearded head shook and said with a loud voice.

"Prince Anakin, Laurent has been working with us since last year, and while most humans are cunning, this merchant can make us trust."

After saying that, the black eyes hidden under the armor flashed with thought.

"The owner of the Scarlet Mage's Tower, Lid Kachar, whose family was once destroyed by orcs, no one will refuse to take revenge on their former enemies.

As for Archmage Spark, Prince Anakin, trust me, the Mithril vein is more important than you think, and no one can resist the temptation.

If it weren't for the fact that all of my people were captured by the damned orcs, I wouldn't have been able to leak out of this precious Mithril mine. ”

With this, the strong dwarf rose with anger in his heart and slapped it the round table in front of him.

A huge burst of power, click~ The thick oak round table was directly smashed.

The scene was a mess.

But then Valen coughed violently, and a scarlet patch appeared at the corner of his mouth, apparently the dwarf had been injured before.

Seeing this scene, the young dwarf Anakin's face became very ugly, and there was some remorse in his eyes.

"It's all my fault, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't manage the people who traded with the outside world, these orcs wouldn't have discovered our tribe."

"No, Prince Anakin, it's not your fault, the orcs must have noticed our deal with the outside world a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have mobilized an army to attack the Horde in such a short period of time.

You don't have to blame yourself, we have more important missions to accomplish."

Valen shook his head and began to cheer up the young dwarven prince, "The Mithril Vein is a temptation that no one can resist, and I believe that no one can resist it!"

As long as they are interested in the Mithril Vein, they must send troops to defeat the orc forces."

Anakin's eyes slowly lit up when he heard this, the place where the Mithril vein was located was not far from the dwarven tribe, and no one could mine the ore if they didn't drive the orcs away.

Immediately, there was some confusion in his eyes, "Master Valen, but why don't we go directly to the transcendent in Green City?" If the transcendent had made a move, those orcs wouldn't be a big problem. ”

Valen shook his head, his eyes filled with complexity that Anakin couldn't understand.

"If the transcendent makes a move, then this Mithril vein really has nothing to do with us"

Valen didn't explain much, "You'll know these things later."

Believe me, even if there is a transcendent willing to make a move, the situation will not be better"

Extraordinary shot, that means absolute power to crush, although it can drive the orcs away, but why not the dwarves are driven away?

If it's a weaker partner, the dwarf may also get a slice of the unmined Mithril Mine.

Although the current situation is dangerous, the orcs did not massacre the dwarven tribe after conquering it, but intended to enslave the dwarves and let the dwarves forge weapons for the orcs.

It is precisely because of this that Valen did not rush to use all his strength to save the Hui people.

The clansmen will not be in great danger to their lives in the short term, so why not seek more benefits?

As a dwarf who has lived for three hundred years, Valen knows that there is no truth in glory, and if he wants to survive, if he wants to live better, he can only seek more resources.

And the preciousness of the Mithril vein is worth paying a certain price.

It's even worth the price for the entire dwarven tribe.

If the transcendent makes a move, then none of this will be their business, and even the fate of the dwarves will no longer be theirs.

This was also the reason why he had gone to great lengths to plan the Crimson Mage Tower, but for these reasons, Valen did not intend to say it to the young dwarven prince.

This dwarven prince who is only 60 years old, and who has only come of age among the dwarves, is still very young, and if he knows these things, he may not be willing to accept them.

Sacrificing the clan for profit is absolutely evil and intolerable in the eyes of young people, but the survival of the race is not so simple.

Anakin looked at Valen and refused to say more, only nodded sullenly.

Valen is the master blacksmith of the Brute Hammer tribe, one of the most respected people in the tribe, and although Anakin is the son of the patriarch, he can only obey this master.

"Master Valen, will Morse be in any danger? After all, it is necessary to negotiate with the human merchant, and if the human wants to regret the fact that Morse, who is only level 9, will definitely not be able to escape. ”

"Danger? Anakin, no matter where you are, danger is always there, don't give up on what we should do because of fear.

For the sake of his people, even if it is a sacrifice, I believe Morse will not hesitate"

Valen had a bit of kindness in his eyes, this young dwarven prince he had grown up watching, and even he had always regarded the other party as his disciple.

A compassionate and kind prince is undoubtedly much better than a tyrannical character.

In the future, the dwarven tribe will be in his hands, and Valen will be relieved, but the current Anakin is still too young and has a simple view of things, and he is far from being able to lead a tribe.

"Son, when Morse came forward to make absolute contact with humans, he had no intention of coming back alive", Valen decided to teach the young prince another lesson.

"Ah, why??"

"Why? Because this is Morse's choice, you have been living in a dwarven tribe and have no idea how much the Mithril vein is alluring to humans.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Mithril vein is as attractive to humans as the dwarves want to forge artifacts.

It is an irresistible temptation, more devastating than the temptation of the devil.

If the humans could not resist the temptation to detain him for interrogation, then Morse would immediately tear up the magic scrolls he had traded from the humans and die with them. ”

Hearing this, Anakin opened his mouth to say something, but he was still deflated by the cold eyes of Valen.

He has always been protected in the tribe and is obsessed with forging weapons, although he knows the cruelty of the world, but the interests of this red fruit are revealed in front of him, which still makes him feel very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, that's a good point, your dwarves are indeed very courageous, but I didn't give him time to shred the magic scroll."

At this moment, the door rumbled and burst open, splashing wood chips all over the sky.

A figure with a giant sword and a black mask walked into the room.

Sonorous~

The long sword was stuck in the ground, and a large piece of the wooden floor burst directly, and the cracks like spider webs spread wildly.

Anakin and Valen's faces became extremely ugly at this time, and the long-handled war hammer in their hands was already in their hands, and their eyes looked angrily at the people who stepped into the house.

"Human, tell me what you're here for!!"

Valen could still maintain a certain composure, staring at the person who came, and he could faintly feel the huge energy hidden under the wonderful body.

He felt mortally in danger.

Anakin couldn't hold back and shouted angrily, "Damn bastard, what did you do to Morse? ”

"Your buddies have become my trophies, as for the intentions? Dwarves, my master needs to see you."

The voice under the mask was a little lazy and proud, "Do you need me to beat you down and take you away, or take the initiative to follow me?" ”

After speaking, the momentum on his body increased violently, powerful and terrifying.

In a small space, the two dwarves seem to be facing a dragon.

Valen had an unspeakable bitterness on his face, "Level 15?!! ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Anakin, who was still unwilling to admit defeat and was carrying a war hammer and wanted to attack at any time, and sighed in his heart.

"I need to know your master's intentions, or even the dwarves who die in battle will not give in!"

Hearing this, the figure under the mask suddenly became very bored and said, "What a boring dwarf, won't you take the initiative to attack??" ”

？？？

Valen heard this black line on his face, I am a level 14, and I am also a seriously injured warrior who wants to take the initiative to attack you such a terrifying existence above level 15??

Did my brain get burned while building a weapon?

"Forget it, my master just wants to invite you to visit, and he has no ill will towards you.

He is interested in the Mithril vein, and he also has the strength to destroy the orc army and save the dwarves......"

Anakin's face was full of anger, "Why should we trust you?? Cunning humans, dwarves will not give in!! ”

"It doesn't matter if you give in or not, I don't care anyway", seeing that he couldn't fight, the figure under the mask turned around and walked out of the room very bored with a giant sword, "Stanley, you deal with it"

Outside the house, Stanley heard the big guy's words and walked into the room with a wry smile.

He had seen Betty slash the level 19 lava demon transformed into a level 17 dark bishop Cologne with two swords, and he knew what amazing power was hidden in the body of this beautiful lady.

Although that level 19 lava demon was a product of transfiguration, Cologne couldn't exert the power of the lava demon at all, and it didn't even have half the strength compared to the real level 19 combat power.

But level 19 is level 19, and no one cares how much the strength of this level 19 does not match this title, everyone only knows that this powerful lady killed the level 19 lava demon in seconds.

As for the process, who cares.

After Stanley entered the house, Valen and Anakin felt a great deal of pressure again.

There was more than one level 15, there was a second one!!

At this time, even the young dwarven prince Anakin did not have that fearless expression, if it was a level 15, sacrificing one might still have a chance to let the other escape.

But two level 15, this is already beyond the limit of what they can handle.

"Let me introduce you to both of you, I'm the Vice President of the Dark Covenant in Greentown, Stanley.

Two distinguished friends, you don't have to be too hostile to me, Your Majesty has told you that the dwarves may be our partners in the future.

Believe me, we have no hostility towards you, otherwise you would have been beaten down by the lady just now", Stanley said lightly with Anakin's unconvinced eyes.

"Maybe you don't know which lady just killed a level 19 lava demon with only two swords on the frontal battlefield.

She's more powerful than you can imagine. ”

Hiss~

Stanley's words caused the two dwarves to gasp in unison, and the two swords killed the level 19 lava demon???

This is not possible in their dwarven tribe, even a level 18 dwarven patriarch can't do it!!

The most important thing is that with their acuity, they can sense that this mysterious and powerful being in front of them is not lying.

The pressure in my heart has become several times greater in vain.

A small smile flashed in Stanley's eyes, and he continued to put pressure on them.

"And, if you look down the window behind you, you might see a lot of men in black on the streets.

Several neighborhoods around here have been cordoned off by us. As long as I don't agree, no one can escape. ”

Not over yet??

Varun gestured to Anakin, who turned and looked warily down the window, and immediately spotted the man in black patrolling around by the magic light of the street.

And all of them are extremely strong, and they are all professionals.

Turning around, he nodded slowly at Valen.

By this time, Valen's heart had sunk to the bottom.

"Two dwarven friends, believe me, I have no hostility towards you,

Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to talk to me like that, and now it's likely that my partner is kneeling under the crown with you. ”

Stanley spread his hands, his tall stature was very oppressive in the face of the two who were already short.

"How can I be sure that what you say is true?"

Valen stared at Stanley tightly, and he would fight back as soon as the other party made a move.

"No, you don't need to believe it, in fact, Your Majesty called us and expected that you would not believe it, and Your Majesty would answer all your questions."

"Your Majesty, is it the Crown from Green City??" Valen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was thinking about the good or bad news in his heart.

"No, not that one, but His Majesty Iro, the Covenant of Darkness."

After saying that, Stanley was already a little impatient, and his eyes became cold.

"To be an enemy or a friend, the choice is yours,

To be enemies you will kneel before the crown, to be friends, and you will be received by the crown. ”

The tone is domineering and unquestionable, he has the strength to say this,

Varun shook his head, put down the hammer in his hand, and tilted his head slightly.

"Human, take us to meet your master, whether it is an enemy or a friend of the dwarves, we will only know when we meet."

"Master Valen......", Anakin looked a little unwilling.

"Anakin, dwarves never fear death or sacrifice,

However, we are now the hope of our people, and I hope you can think with your head at any time.

Kindness can make you a good patriarch, but you can't lead your people to survive without enough wisdom. ”

Looking at those expectant eyes, Anakin hung his head deeply, and the long-handled war hammer in his hand fell to the ground.

Stanley smiled with satisfaction, "Believe me, Your Majesty will surprise you, and there will be no mistake in the choice of the dwarves." ”

"I hope so", Valen had already calmed down, and at the same time prepared for the worst in his heart.

Faced with a group of humans who don't know the details, he doesn't know what will happen next.

However, the choice is no longer in his hands.

Anyway, whether you go or not is to face a vicious battle that is destined to be defeated, and it doesn't hurt to go and see it now.

Stanley turned to go out, followed by two dwarves.

When he got downstairs and out of the tavern, Stanley suddenly turned his head and glanced at the crowd patrolling the street.

At a glance, I found that three of them looked a little out of place in the crowd, and that kind of eccentric temperament made people see the difference between the three at a glance.

Stretching out their hands to gesture slightly, the three of them immediately stepped forward with a thick smile.

"Master Stanley"

Stein nodded in satisfaction.

"Mixed Yuan, Thunderbolt, Cheng Kun, you did a good job this time, come with me to see His Majesty Iro.

I'm sure Your Majesty will be very interested in you. ”

Hearing Stanley's words, Cheng Kun, the hybrid thunderbolt who successfully discovered the location of the two dwarves, the three players looked at each other excitedly.

This time it's really profitable, and Stanley has just issued them a mission to find the dwarves who may have slipped through the net.

And it happened that Cheng Kunqian accidentally saw two dwarves appear in this hotel when he went out yesterday, and he wanted to go up to ask if there was a task to take, but the dwarf was very vigilant, and he just got close and went back to the room.

This made him a little unhappy, so he wrote down the location of the two dwarves.

But I didn't expect that the blind cat happened to meet the dead mouse today, and it happened to be a coincidence.

"Yes, Mistress Stanley"

The three of them were a little excited, under the crown of Iro, this is a real super boss, a more powerful boss than Stanley in front of him.

If they can report each other's thighs like hugging Stanley, then what do they have to worry about.

The three players glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of yearning for the big guy.
