Casting spells

A plate of fried fish just made flew up out of thin air and landed steadily in front of Katie-brie.

Maybe she sensed the subtle atmosphere in the air, or maybe she felt that the dragon would protect her. In short, she temporarily gave up her guard and grabbed a golden fish piece and started to eat it.

Gildan didn't know when, and quietly stood behind the table, squinting his eyes and staring at the killer with a provocative gaze.

You don't need to ask to know that he, who has just gained the power of anger, is eager to wash away the humiliation he received in the last confrontation.

But it was a pity that Artemis Entreri did not respond to this provocation. While tearing the hard bread in his hand into small pieces and sending it to his mouth, he asked without raising his head, "Who are you? Why do you want See me? What's the purpose?"

"Hehe, there's no need to be so nervous. First of all, I can guarantee that I don't have any hostility towards you. On the contrary, I hope to attract you, and I have great expectations for you." Zhang Cheng sat across the table and began to try to communicate with the other party. touch.

Maybe he is not very good at close combat, but he can also judge from Entreri's tense muscles and posture, as long as he detects the slightest abnormality, the killer will pull out his weapon at lightning speed and insert own heart.

In this kind of distance and narrow space, Artemis has absolute confidence.

Of course, he didn't know that Zhang Cheng was not a human being at all, but a black dragon with a huge body and hard scales.

Even if the dagger is inserted into the gap between the scales by chance, it can only cause a little skin trauma at most, and then it will be engulfed by the deadly dragon's breath flame.

Whether it's a thief or a killer assassin, they can't pose much threat to a real dragon with that short weapon.

After all, the size of the dragon determines that only heavy weapons such as spears, warhammers, crossbows, two-handed swords and axes can really hurt them. Dragon slayers are often either powerful spellcasters or wear heavy armor. Armored strength fighter.

"Take me?" Entreri raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Before coming, he had considered several possibilities, but none of them was a solicitation.

Having served the Calimport Thieves Guild for so many years, he never thought that one day he would abandon the prestige and status he had so hard to establish, not to mention that the desolate Northland is not as prosperous as Calimport...

Chapter 443 A Little Lesson

"That's right! I know you're working for Bashar Pook in Karinport right now, but that idiot obviously doesn't realize your true worth, as an ace killer. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent you to track down a The halfling who stole the charm pendant. In my opinion, even a hundred pendants are not far less than the huge benefits you can bring yourself."

Zhang Cheng crossed his hands in front of his chest, and gave the other party a very high evaluation.

In his eyes, the real purpose of a killer like Artemis Entreri was deterrence.

First, through a series of difficult assassinations, publicity and hype, everyone in the surrounding area will have a strong awe and fear of him, and when everyone believes that as long as Entreri hits the target, he will die, the person who controls him will This invisible deterrent can be used to control many things, such as intelligence, and some shady transactions.

In this regard, the shadow thieves operating in the Amn region have done a very good job. They will set up a "star" or "model" every once in a while. The men feel at ease.

After all, as long as the "star" has not fallen, it means that no matter how miserable the guild is, it has not lost.

But look what stupid short-sighted Basher Pook did?

He actually sent Artemis Entreri away from his lair to hunt down the halfling Regis, just to get back that garbage pendant that barely affects unsteady targets, a ring of magic——friendship spell may be more effective than this thing better.

If it were another slightly smarter guild leader, he might have used his excellent killing skills to provoke a war that swept across the entire underground world of Karin Port, and then continued to expand its territory and strength, and finally established the most densely populated guild covering this continent. The criminal network of the city.

But it is a pity that Bashar Puke is just a humble little man after all, neither has the ambition to become a king, nor does he have a high enough vision.

It won't be long before he will be overthrown by the big trouble he caused, and become one of the guild leaders who disappeared in the long history of Karin Port.

Undoubtedly, Entreri saw the flames of madness and destruction in the opponent's eyes, and it took a full minute before he calmly asked: "If my answer is to refuse, what will you do?"

Zhang Cheng smiled and spread his hands: "I don't know how to do anything. In fact, I didn't expect to get your allegiance when we met for the first time. Today is just contact, so you can understand that I have such an idea."

"Just contact?!" Artemis Entreri frowned subconsciously.

The reason is very simple. Among the many high-ranking people he has come into contact with, no one will easily let go of those who are unwilling to accept his "good intentions", let alone he is still staying in the other party's territory.

"Hehe, please don't doubt my sincerity. You must know that you are a very important part of my future plan. Well, let's stop here for today's conversation. You don't need to make a decision right away. Oh, By the way, if you don't mind, I will take this girl away first."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng pulled Katie-brie up, and made a gesture of preparing to turn around and leave.

"Let go! She belongs to me!"

But before the two of them took half a step, the killer's eyes shot out a frightening cold light, and he suddenly drew out his dagger and stabbed it out in a very strange posture.

"Sorry, she belongs to me now."

Zhang Cheng raised a finger without looking back, and sang a short and jerky spell in a low voice.

moment!

Groups of light clusters composed entirely of energy burst out from between the fingers!

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

Accompanied by a series of loud noises, Artemis Entreri had to give up his attack, kicked over the table and rolled backwards, avoiding the pursuit of energy bombs.

Obviously, this spell is a new three-ring spell created by combining the local arcane magic of Faerun - magic missile and the arcane missile commonly used by Azeroth mages. It not only increases the number of energy missiles released, but also increases their power. Comparable to a large-bore shotgun.

The hardwood table, which was strong enough to withstand ordinary swords and swords, was smashed to pieces as soon as it collided with the missile, and the floor was full of pits the size of the fists of an adult strong man.

"Gildan, Xini, teach him a little lesson, and let him realize his identity by the way. Remember, don't accidentally become disabled."

After saying this, Zhang Cheng didn't give the killer a second chance to attack, he just pushed open the door and disappeared into the vast night.

He didn't much like Entreri's arrogance and conceit, he didn't have to ask.

To be precise, what he needs is an obedient chess piece, a sharp blade hidden in the dark, not a guy who thinks too much of himself.

This would slowly change after Entreri met Drizzt, all he had to do was wait patiently.

"Hey! As you wish, my lord." Gildan, eager for revenge, grinned and pulled out his long sword, charging at a speed beyond the limit of his body.

boom!

With one blow, he shattered the chair thrown by the killer.

Accompanied by strong emotional fluctuations, this battle-tested veteran felt a powerful force flowing through his veins, and his strength, agility, and speed were all greatly enhanced.

Although the duration was short, it was undoubtedly a power he had never heard of, the power from a bottle of mysterious magic potion...

"how can that be!"

Entreri, who witnessed the unbelievable scene with his own eyes, shrank his pupils violently, and relied on his agility to avoid the almost fatal slash.

In his impression, except for powerful monsters such as ogres, few humans can split a hardwood chair with a long sword, especially when the two fought against each other not long ago. So exaggerated now.

"Huh! How is it? Are you surprised? Don't worry, the fun has just begun, and I will return all the humiliation I received to you." Gildan taunted and pushed it away to the outside The customers who ran away had happy smiles on their faces.

You have to know that a few hours ago, the killer put a sharp knife on his neck and threatened his life unscrupulously. Now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally want to get back his money with interest.

"Don't forget the master's order! He can't be disabled! He can't even die!" Xini, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reminded her.

"Understood! I didn't intend to kill him, I just wanted to beat him hard..."
