Casting spells

"No! You are solely responsible for this matter. I have other more important matters." After finishing speaking, Gildan patted the other person on the shoulder and disappeared at the end of the corridor without looking back.

Watching his back, Wei Ya frowned subconsciously, and muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear: "What is this? Temptation? Or..."

Before the words were finished, a translucent figure suddenly passed through the wall and appeared in the room out of thin air: "Sparrow, what's the matter, have you heard any news?"

"Damn! How dare you barge in directly!" Wei Ya obviously knew the other party, her face changed slightly, and she quickly turned and closed the door.

"Sorry, the negotiation is imminent. We must know Luskan's attitude." The intruder in the spirit state took a deep breath and emphasized.

"Okay! This is the first time, I don't want it to happen again, or you will kill me." Wei Ya rubbed her brows helplessly. "Actually, I haven't heard too much information, but judging from the recent large-scale transformation and crime cleanup, the black dragon seems to be really planning to reshape Luskan, making it a bustling trading hub."

"So they're not threatening for the time being?"

"No! On the contrary, their threat is greater than before. That dragon wants to annex the Northland and build a powerful evil empire. It's just that in recent years, they will lie dormant and slowly accumulate strength for the next expansion .”

After hearing these words, the intruder secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, in this way, there will be no war in a few years. As for the future, let's not worry about it. The current financial situation of Neverwinter City is very serious. Oops, we must resume sea trade as soon as possible."

"Got it! I'll keep watching them."

"Thank you! Lord Nasir will not forget your contribution."

Chapter 476 The War in the Shadows

The pier area, the most chaotic and dangerous area in Luskan, has gradually restored order under the patrol of a hundred heavily armed soldiers, and there are even some small shops selling fish, shrimp, crab, oysters and other seafood. booth.

But as the saying goes, where there is light, there must be shadows, where there is order, there must be chaos, and where there is justice, there must be evil.

No matter how harsh the laws, no matter how powerful the law enforcement agencies are, they will never be able to eradicate the criminal organizations rooted in the bottom of society.

They are like weeds in the wild, even if they are harvested and burned repeatedly, they will grow tenaciously again and again.

As a girl who grew up in a dangerous and complicated environment, Whisper knew very well that she would never be a match for the wizards in the steeple, so when Zhang Cheng tightened the noose of the gang, he decisively chose to surrender and provided corresponding support for him. Therefore, instead of being slaughtered, they received a lot of financial, material and human support afterwards, becoming a semi-officially controlled Thieves Guild.

As for the task, it is very simple. On the one hand, control all the shady illegal transactions in the city to prevent the infiltration of external forces; And spies from the enemy.

Of course, as the price of taking refuge, she must hand over important property and personnel appointment and dismissal rights in her hands.

But even so, it was far better than relying on illegally selling maps and various news to survive. At least as the king of the underground world, he no longer had to worry about anyone wanting his own life.

"Boss! Our secret agent just sent a top-secret information." A thief broke into the room suddenly and put a note with a red mark on the table.

"Oh? Who sent it?" Whisper looked surprised.

According to the rules established by the guild, under normal circumstances, only the spies who have entered the high-level management system are found to be allowed to use the red mark.

"It's Evra!"

"Evra? Isn't he in charge of watching Gildan? Could it be that this guy was bought?"

Whisper frowned, and slowly opened the note that was only the thickness of a finger, and an expression of disbelief quickly appeared on his face: "Damn! Wei Ya is actually a spy from Neverwinter! Quick! Send this information to the steeple! Be sure to hand it over to that adult."

"Understood!" The thief obviously realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded vigorously, quickly picked up the note and ran towards the location of the tower.

……

About 10 minutes later, Zhang Cheng, who was testing the effect of the potion in the public area of ​​the central minaret, got the note, smiled and said to the moon elves beside him: "See, this is what the so-called good people do, infiltration, assassination , destroying, and stealing information are no different from us.”

"Do you need me to get rid of her?" Valindra asked with a half-smile.

"No, there is no need. Although she is a spy, the management ability she has shown during this period is still good. Let her continue to serve Luskan.

Don't forget to monitor me 24 hours a day. I need to know who she sees and what she says every day.

Remember, if you want to make a city or even a country prosperous and strong, you can't rely on force alone, and you need talents from all walks of life.

For a long time to come, our policy of action will revolve around internal affairs, such as developing trade, reclaiming farmland and pastures, digging mineral veins, increasing the number of workshops, and so on.

So try not to show aggressiveness, so that in a few years, Neverwinter City will slowly lose its vigilance.

When the time is right, we are launching a war and defeating Waterdeep quickly before it can react. "

Zhang Cheng pursed his lips, and bluntly stated his plan.

After all, in more than half a year, Faerun Continent will enter a terrible year of turmoil. It can definitely be said that gods are everywhere. Lich is not as good as a dog. He doesn't want to be messed with at this time.

"Just surveillance?" Valindra frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with this inaction.

"No, of course it's not just surveillance, but also corruption and wooing. You have to understand that everyone has desires, money, power, beauty, power, we can use our hobbies to induce a person's hidden desires On the dark side, when they do something irreversible, they will naturally be unable to maintain their original mentality." Zhang Cheng gave some suggestions without panic.

Although this world never lacks strong-willed and strong people who can resist all kinds of erosion, generally speaking, there are still a lot of ordinary people. As long as the operation is done properly, it is easy to instigate a few spies.

Not to mention the power of magic, such as charm, suggestion, mind control and so on.

"I see. I think I know your plan." A strange light flashed in Valindra's eyes.

Just when Zhang Cheng was about to say something, a ring on his hand suddenly burst into dazzling white light.

next second...

A portal opened out of thin air, followed by him without even a word of explanation, he passed through the portal and disappeared in full view.

dark!

Boundless darkness!

There are mossy rocks all around, and the environment is so quiet that you can even hear your own heartbeat.

Suddenly, a black figure came out from the corner and said in an emotionless tone, "Are you here?"

"Well, I'm here. How about it, have you seen your own shadow?" Zhang Cheng asked with great interest.

"I've seen it! You're right! The dark elf will be a good opponent! But he has a lot of friends, and I need your help." After that, Sombra took another step forward, revealing an extremely ordinary faces.

He was none other than the famous killer—Artemis Entreri.

"Hehe, why should I help you?"

"Because I can agree to your previous conditions!"

"You agreed to work for me?!" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He didn't expect that the other party accepted his invitation so quickly.

"Yes! But before that, I need to complete the task assigned by my previous employer. I believe you wouldn't like a killer who betrayed his employer before finishing the work, would you?" Entreri put forward his request expressionlessly .

"No problem!" Zhang Cheng nodded without thinking. "Where are they now? It seems to be underground, right?"
