Every night, the Lord's Mansion of Netam emits a brilliant glow that illuminates the inner city. Today was no exception, except for the roar that came from the study.
The city lord of Woolford Hughes walked around the study and snarled at the chief of the city guard, "This is what you came to tell me: the masked mage group failed to assassinate a high-level shield guardian on the streets of the inner city, and then a mage died, and the high-level rangers continue to hunt down?"
I don't want what happened, I want the masked mage's attackers! Now, immediately, immediately take your incompetent soldiers and arrest them. If you dare to do something in the place of Neverwinter, you will ignore the majesty of the Neverwinter Lord and capture them for me, and I want Waterdeep City to give the lord an explanation, whether I want war or peace. ”
Woolford, as one of the Nine Guards of Winter, and a trusted warrior of Lord Nasir Aragonda, has every reason to be so angry, and the masked mage group of Waterdeep City dares to make a big splash in the city ruled by Neverwinter, which simply does not take him seriously, and even ignores the face of a legendary lord, which is equivalent to a declaration of war on Neverwinter.
"Yo yo yo, who made our lord angry? I'm not afraid of being slashed to death by him. Woolford heard the laughter coming from outside the study, and said angrily, "Mrs. Cell, I came late at night, I don't know what you are doing?" Or are you here to see my jokes, and I haven't settled accounts with you about the afternoon yet, and you dare to come here? ”
In the end, Woolford, who couldn't help but be angry, slashed at the door with a knife, and Mrs. Chell outside the door obviously knew his temper, and had already released a deflected shield on herself, bounced the broken door to both sides, not caring about the maids by the door at all, and the two young girls with youth fell in a pool of blood, their bodies were pierced by the flying wood, like tattered dolls.
The graceful Mrs. Chell walked in front of Woolford step by step with a bewitching step, and said with a wave of her fingers, "Dear Lord Hughes, how dare I come to laugh at you, I have come to make a deal with you." ”
Woolford turned a blind eye to Mrs. Chell's movements, and asked coldly, "What deal, are you going to make amends for this afternoon's conflict?" Yes, magic items worth five thousand platinum coins, and I won't trouble you anymore; Now I have something to do, get me out at once, you shapeshifter. ”
When Mrs. Chelle heard his words, she put away her pretentiousness, but she had nothing to do with Woolfork, who dared to reveal her identity to her face, and continued to speak unwillingly, "It's easy to talk about compensation, but the deal I'm talking about is not this, it's related to the attackers in the inner city tonight, are you sure you don't listen to me?" ”
Woolford reflected on tonight's events, realizing that he had ignored the identity of the person who had been attacked by the masked mage group, and asked in a softened tone, "Tell me about it, your deal." ”
"Mithril and Adamantite Gold," said Lady Chell, in a demagogic tone, in great quantities on the master of the attacked; How about it, my lord, do you want to wipe them out? ”
Woolford, who only wanted to know some information, didn't expect to get such a surprise, and asked with a little excitement, "Are you sure?" You must know that these two kinds of magic materials are not many on the surface, and there are huge quantities, except for the dark regions, I have not heard of huge quantities, you should know the fate of deceiving me! ”
Lady Chell felt Woolford's deliberate release, took a step back to show her obedience, and said with a smile, "Of course, my esteemed Lord of the City. One of the two people who clashed with me in the afternoon was the one who was attacked on the streets of the inner city, and his master was about the same strength as the adults, and I saw with my own eyes the Mithril enchanted arrow and the Hidden Blade containing pure gold fired by his master. I think that's why the masked mages attacked his followers, cutting off his wings and killing people for treasure. ”
In order to obtain Mithril from Zoze, Mrs. Chell deceived Woolfork into taking her guess as a positive fact. The masked mage regiment didn't know the great value of Zuo Ze's equipment yet, otherwise they wouldn't have sent only one group of action teams; They are simply out for revenge, so that they can use their blood to intimidate those who dare to harm the mage group and maintain their influence in the Northlands.
After hearing this, Woolford nodded and asked, "No wonder the clash in the afternoon, I got the news that you suffered a loss, it turned out that there was a top-level wanderer, and now his followers have been attacked, and he is not at the scene, obviously this time the masked mage group is very well prepared."
Someone, tell the people of the Military Intelligence Department to find out the information about this wanderer for me, Mrs. Chell, you go and cooperate with them, and the last spoils are for your sake, and I will share it with you. ”
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, I'm going to cooperate with the people of the MIA." Mrs. Chel patted her ass without a trace, and walked out with a ghost in her heart.
Woolfork agreed to Mrs. Chell's deal, completely ignoring Zuo Ze's thoughts, this is the Torrell world, the naked law of the jungle - the law of the jungle - the jungle of the jungle, survival of the fittest; Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
Zuo Ze, who didn't know that an even more serious crisis was coming, was a little confused and waited for news from Vader, if he died, under the influence of the summoning rules, Ao would know and tell himself.
Waiting is a kind of torment, especially now that there is no clock, Zuo Ze silently ejected the three-edged Hidden Blade, picked up the towel and began to wipe it, over and over again, under the illumination of the magic lamp, a cold light flashed at the blade of the Hidden Blade on three sides. Whether Vader lives or dies, the next thing is to fight.
"My lord! My lord! ......." Hearing the shouts of the second cargo Vinda from far and near, Zuo Ze smiled knowingly, stood up, and was just about to go out, when he heard a loud bang, and the door of the room had disappeared.
The smile on his face also turned into convulsions, and Zuo Ze rubbed his temples and said, "Vida, you are too violent!" ”
Vader looked at Zuo Ze anxiously and asked eagerly, "My lord, are you okay?" I saw a corpse outside the door, we were attacked on the way, I killed a mage, and an archer chased after me, and I was supposed to be ambushing near the hotel, and I rushed in in a hurry. ”
Zuo Ze listened to Vader's words, sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I know." You put Barnes Jr. down, I have something to say to him. ”
Vader doesn't know why, I don't know what to do with Barnes Jr. at this time, shouldn't it be time to find the attacker and then kill him? Carefully put down the little Barnes on his back, and Vader saw Zuo Ze squatting down, his eyes just at the level of little Barnes.
"I hope you're prepared, Barnes Jr. The next thing I'm going to talk about has to do with your family. Zuo Ze said calmly to Barnes Jr.
The clever young man, obviously thinking of something, gradually turned pale, and tears flowed uncontrollably; "I'm sorry, I didn't expect what happened in Outpost to affect your family, they may well have been killed. It's my fault, because my ill-thinking hurt your family. The murderer is a member of the masked mage group, I will avenge your family, I can't ask for your forgiveness, but I hope you don't live in hatred. Zuo Ze said in a calm tone.
Little Barnes finally couldn't help whimpering, Zuo Ze looked at him in grief, and understood the importance of strength even more - don't wait until you are unable to protect your cherish, and then regret it.
