Faced with the threat of the mother-faced lion, Maltheus just picked up the flower and fruit tea in front of him, took a sip of the overly sweet tea, and then looked at the other party calmly.

"Put away this threat, if you want to destroy the Sindore family, you must first destroy yourself, and the dark line that Santarin behind you will lay out in Waterdeep for a long time. I admit that the Sindore family is not worth mentioning in front of the power of the Santarin Society, but what about you? Do you think that the Santarin Society, and the black monarch after the Santarin Society, can tolerate such a betrayal by you? After all, death is not the end of everything, and the Black Tyrant also controls the realm of the dead, what kind of fate do you think will happen to yourself who betrays the Black Tyrant?"

There was no fluctuation in his tone, but there was a coldness that made the tea solidify, which also made the mother face lion calm down a little.

A moment later, the voice of the she-faced lion with deep resentment sounded again: "Do you want to sit back and watch that dragon behave willfully in Skull Harbor?"

"Of course not. Malcius tapped lightly on the tea table, and a three-dimensional map of Waterdeep was projected in front of Dunstrano through illusion.

In the part of the map that belongs to Skull Harbor, you can see a labyrinth of countless underground caverns hidden beneath Skull Harbor. One of the most striking of these is a huge cavern, only a few hundred cubits deep from Skull Harbor.

It was clear to him that the huge cavern was in fact the sleeping cave of an old black dragon. It seems that the dragon has made a pact with the ancient magician who built the underground labyrinth to help defend the underground labyrinth, so even the successive lords of Waterdeep can only tolerate the dragon sleeping under their feet.

"Adult dragons are solitary creatures, and if two adult dragons enter the same hunting ground, then there will inevitably be a dragon war, which is common sense that every qualified spellcaster should know. What's more, the black dragon, as a follower of the five-colored dragon queen Timayat, has always had a bad relationship with the close relatives of Bahamut, the god of good dragons. ”

Maltheus showed his patience to make an academic report, and made the most direct hint to the female face lion in front of him, who had the blood of a spellcaster.

In fact, such a hint was enough for the she-faced lion to arrange some action, and it was not in the consideration of the lord of Sindore and the slavers that a war between the two dragons would bring devastating disaster to the inhabitants of Skull Harbor.

Sticking out his tongue full of fleshy thorns in satisfaction and licking the sweet flower and fruit tea, Dunstrano nodded reservedly to the handsome Sindore family master: "Then I will take my leave, before the Kelburn Black Staff returns to Waterdeep, this dragon war must start as soon as possible, and then end." ”

Rap Gomos, one of the few slave traders stationed on the surface of the Dusk Chamber of Commerce, on the bloody and tearful trade road of the slave trade, this semi-drow is responsible for the final surface distribution link.

Compared to slave hunters, or slave carriers, slave dealers were not a good business. If it's in a small number of evil countries where slavery is practiced, such as the wizarding nation of Cell, ruled by a red-robed wizard. Or in the theocratic kingdoms of Witch and Mulholland, slave traders like Gomos are doing well. But in Waterdeep, the temple guards of the god of justice and the nosy harpist are enough to disrupt every slave trade.

If it weren't for the underground labyrinth under Skull Harbor that was directly connected to the Dark Regions, making it easy for the Dusk Chamber of Commerce to smuggle surface slaves to the Dark Regions, the slave traders would never have left a point of contact here.

As a man with drow blood in his veins, Gomos spends his days planning how to get his old and cunning boss to meet the Spider-God sooner and then take over the old slave trader's business network himself. But when the boss's biggest client came to him, this half-drow still felt a little panicked in the unpredictable fate.

After all, even the Drow Elves didn't really want to deal with a temperamental and dangerous creature like the Human-Faced Lion.

In front of Gomos, the most notorious slaver in Skull Harbor did not use Transfiguration to make himself look more like a beautiful noblewoman, without even wearing a single extra piece of clothing. Like all felines, Dunstrano occupied the warmest and most comfortable bed in the room, his scaly tail patting the bed impatiently, staring at the half-drow in front of him with the gaze of a predator.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Gomos opened his mouth in the usual flattering tone of a half-drow merchant, "What do you need me to do for you, ma'am?"

The voice of the female-faced lion was like a file scraping a bone, giving an eerie impression to Half-Drow: "That new dragon in Skull Harbor is sabotaging our business, and your boss has become the dragon's dinner, forcing us to leave Waterdeep temporarily. Before leaving, I wish to give this arrogant dragon a small gift. ”

Her gaze then passed over Half-Drow's shoulders and landed on the empty dark corner, "Let your companion be honest and put away his little tricks of thieves, or I won't mind tasting what Drow's flesh tastes like." ”

Mo Yun's cloak appeared in the shadows, and the dark elf's footsteps were as light as a black panther, appearing behind Gomos without the slightest sound, and then nodded slightly towards Dun Strono: "Mo Yun Verren, Dayette Mercenary Regiment, greetings to you." I sympathize with your anger, but the Dayette Mercenaries never offer pro bono services, even in Morsoblay. ”

Hearing the name "Dayette Mercenary Regiment", even with Dun Strono's usual strong style, he also took a little respect: "Greetings to His Excellency Jalaso of the Dayette Mercenary Regiment, if the Dayette Mercenary Regiment needs anything, we can start the discussion of this transaction immediately, as long as you can participate in this operation." ”

Mo Yun's face had the haughty look of a drow warrior, the one of Mo Yun's nominal teacher and de facto abuser, Kim Murui, who was not only arrogant, but also gloomy. It was as if the Drow warriors of the Dayette Mercenary Regiment were in place, their elusive, bald head leader preparing to push open the door and enter the cramped room.

At the same time, the carnelian talisman that Mo Yun hung on his chest exuded a blazing temperature, as if it was about to burn the skin of young Zhuoer, and this blazing burning sensation made almost all of Mo Yun's spiritual power squeezed out, forming a thick shell of thinking. It seemed that a sharp awl pierced this thick shell, but it was instantly bounced back by the thick shell of Thinking.

The magic power of the futile obviously hit Dunstrano, and made the mother-faced lion show a trance expression for a moment, which was the sequelae of the magic backlash.

There was no doubt that the mother-faced lion was quietly using magic to read Mo Yun's mind, but it was clearly failing.

Unlike their cousins on the surface, Drow Elves not only possess a high affinity for magic, but also possess a high level of magic resistance, and if combined with the protection of psychic abilities, psychic magic such as Mind Detection can be useless.

Regardless of which magic school is the caster, although such a secret confrontation will inevitably increase hatred and conflict, it is also an intuitive interpretation of the caster's strength of each other. Dunstror stared at the young Drow scout and smiled like a noblewoman, "What do the Dayette mercenaries need?"

"The whereabouts of the famous bard and traveler Varotamp and his secret home in Waterdeep. ”

Hearing the name "Varotamp", Dunstrano showed a hint of displeasure. Valortamp is just a poet who sells his pen, but he is the guest of the great names of Ilminster, the great sage of the Valley of Shadows, and Kelburn, the lord of Waterdeep, and the heavy names alone can make Dunstror instinctively wary of provoking Valo Tamp.

However, the appearance of her recent embarrassment, and the uncontrollable anger of the human-faced lion, quickly overwhelmed the awe of the legendary magicians. After weighing it in her mind for a moment, the mother-faced lion nodded: "I can provide the Dayette mercenary group with information on the whereabouts of that writer gentleman, but the Dayette mercenary group must pay a reasonable price. ”

Mo Yun craned his arm and looked at the mother-faced lion semi-defiantly: "For example?"

"There is an upcoming war between dragons in Skull Harbor, and I want the Dayette Mercenaries to play a proper role in this. ”

The mother-faced lion bit the word "dragon" a little harder, but the young dark elf didn't show the slightest fear or waver on his face, and only made a dumb gesture: "Tell me your plan first." ”

......

.........

Just like the Sindore family led by Malcius, the Letin Reid family is also a famous noble family in Waterdeep, but the history of the Letin Reid family is much shorter than the long-standing Sindore family. The founder of this lineage was a wandering mage, and because he was proficient in the magic of summoning thunder and lightning, he left the nickname "Thunder Rod Mage" among adventurers, which is the origin of the surname "Letin Red".

Since the first generation of Thunder Wand Mages, the Letin Rads family has used their mastery of lightning magic to serve the city lords of Waterdeep, and there have been five generations of family masters serving the mage towers of the previous city lords. The continued intermarriage between the Leting Reid family and elite spellcasters has not only produced outstanding magicians from generation to generation, but also occasionally has a few inheritors of the warlock bloodline who are born with the ability to cast spells.

Nissicos Letin Red, the famous eldest lady of the Letin Ryder family, this pampered aristocratic girl is the most dazzling pearl in the next generation of the Letin Ryder family.

At the gathering of the aristocratic youth of Waterdeep, Nissikors's beautiful face, inherited from her half-elf mother, was always at the center of the conversation.

But what is most valued by the head of the Leting Raid family is Nissikors' powerful warlock bloodline.

Although the pampered Miss Nissikos has not yet received systematic spellcaster training, her talent as a spellcaster from the bloodline is enough to be proud of all the spellcasters of the younger generation in Waterdeep. Whether it is an apprentice mage serving in the towers of each ** master, a student trained by an orthodox magic academy, or a young priest trained in the temple, he can only bow down in the face of Nisikos's self-taught and powerful magic.

This talent is so powerful, and Miss Nissickos's personality is extraordinarily willful and arrogant, and she is not even bound by the Ryting Rad's parents at all, which is also a perennial hot topic in the aristocratic circles of Waterdeep.

If it was just the common temper of ordinary aristocratic ladies, this kind of temperament was not uncommon in any aristocratic circle, and the older nobles were always full of patience for this kind of thing.

But Nissikos's personality and style are obviously suspected of deviance, and what this eldest lady thinks about every day is how to get rid of the glory and principles of Letin Red, a famous mage, and get out of Waterdeep City to become a slave trader!

As a result, the name of the first head of the Leting Ryder family, the famous Thunder Wand Mage, was also widely criticized because of the independent great-great-granddaughter. Some people even assert through the research of old documents that the Thunder Staff Mage is probably a dragon vein with a thin blue dragon blood, and it is precisely because of this dragon blood that is good at summoning thunder and lightning that the Thunder Staff Mage has shown extraordinary talent in thunder and lightning magic. But it is precisely because of the intergenerational inheritance and atavism of the bloodline of the evil dragon of the blue dragon that Nissicos Lyttingred has such a great rebelliousness, so much so that he is so partial to enslaving other intelligent beings like the evil dragon.

The proud new generation of the Letin Ryder family has become a disgrace to the Letin Ryder family, and even the current head of the family, Atona Letin Red, has basically given up correcting Nissicoth's strange impulse. The people of the Letin Ryder family only hope that after this delicate girl really embarks on the life plan of a slave trader, she can give up the glorious surname of "Letin Red" and leave the area where Waterdeep City is located, and go to a slave country like Cell, the country of red-robed mages, to earn a living, and her relatives will try to forget her existence as much as possible in their lifetime.

That's a good thing for both parties.

Although slavery does not nominally exist in Waterdeep, Nisikos was able to find out about the activities of several famous slave traders in Skull Harbor through her network. There may be nobles secretly engaged in shady dealings with the slave traders, but Nissikors has only one goal in finding them

Become one of these scumbags and listen to the sorrows of the slaves as the most beautiful music in your life.

And the elven slave trader who hooked up with her was named Gomos.
