Chapter 14

"Good evening, young mage from Dalaran." the middle-aged man stroked his chest with one hand and leaned slightly on his horse. "I think you must be confused and eager to find out our identity and purpose. Don't worry, I'll give you a satisfactory explanation now. Don't worry, I don't have any hostility to the Dalaran and kenrito meetings. On the contrary, we can form an alliance against the dead who call themselves forgotten."

Looking at the confident guy who seemed to be in control, Zhang Cheng suddenly smiled and shook his head: "confused? No, I'm not confused at all.

You may think I'm bluffing, but in fact, I know you even better than you yourself.

Syndicate is the name of your organization. Your real identity is the aristocracy of the former Alterac kingdom. Because of the betrayal of the alliance in the second war, you were collectively exiled with the goal of recapturing your own land.

Of course, you were once only one step away from success, but you were interrupted by the scourge of the dead sweeping the whole kingdom of Lordaeron. That's why you hate the dead so much.

Finally, I can even call your name, dear Duke fakurest... "

With the last sentence blurted out, the middle-aged man who had always kept smiling suddenly solidified his smile on his face, narrowed his eyes and asked, "is the kenrito Council of Dalaran investigating us?"

"If you think it is, if you think it is not, it is not. But please don't get me wrong. So far, the kenrito Council has no plan or action against you. If nothing happens, it won't happen in the future. Dalaran's mages are busy participating in the construction of a great miracle, and they don't have the energy to pay attention to other things.", Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders mysteriously.

In fact, the reason why we can shout each other's names is thanks to the "Otto" just now.

He will never forget how many times he fell in the dilapidated Hall of torrent castle in the game. One of the "culprits" was the middle-aged man standing in front of him - Duke fakurest, and the bald man was his fierce bodyguard - Otto.

The only thing that puzzles Zhang Cheng is why, as the main leader of syndicate in arahi highland, Duke fakurest suddenly appeared in Hillsbrad hills.

You know, it takes at least six to seven days to ride from torrent castle to the cabin, rather than ten to twenty minutes as in the game.

This means that the other party has long been ambushed nearby, and there may be any follow-up plans.

Although he doesn't care about the struggle and resentment between the alliance, the forgotten and the syndicate at all, it's better to find out in order not to have a similar situation on his next trip to Dalaran.

Prince fakurest touched the thick beard on his chin and didn't know what he was thinking. After a full minute, he raised his head and said meaningfully: "interesting. Young mage, you deliberately revealed some important news. If I guess correctly, you are going to make a deal with me, right?"

"That's right! I don't know what you think?" Zhang Cheng had no intention to hide his intention and admitted it.

Perhaps for all forces, the huge magic shield of Dalaran ruins is full of mystery. Almost everyone is eager to know what big news the mages of kenrito Parliament are hiding in it.

But for him who is familiar with the historical trend of Azeroth, there is no secret at all.

"Yes! But I need to know what your conditions are," said Prince fakurest, raising his hand to stop some of his thieves from approaching the cabin.

Zhang Cheng turned his head slightly, glanced at the sneaking thief with contempt, and stretched out a finger without looking back: "My condition is very simple. There are only two points. First, return the goods to the poor merchant and promise not to attack him and his caravan in the future. Second, tell me your real intention to appear here. It must be said that it is only for a box of arcane crystals. Although arcane crystals are precious, they are not enough for big people like you to come personally."

There is no doubt that this kind of behavior that can see through the thieves' sneaking at a glance startled several thieves.

They don't know. In fact, Rayson has many invisible magic eyes attached to the wooden posts around the cabin. As long as he establishes contact with these eyes, even a fly can't escape the detection of the mage.

Before, Zhang Cheng was able to see every move inside and outside, also thanks to these magical eyes.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the forest hut is simple and dilapidated, but in the eyes of mages, it is a fortress enough to protect their own safety.

"Ha ha! Young man, don't you think you are too greedy? It's a whole box of arcane crystals, and you want to exchange it with a few uncertain news." Duke fakurest sneered.

"I'm greedy. You know it best. Don't you want to know what the great miracle I just mentioned refers to?" Zhang Cheng asked noncommittally.

He is not a fool. He knows that the other party is bargaining. By the way, he tries to see if he can pull out some useful information.

"Great miracle?" Duke fakurest's eyes lit up slightly.

Zhang Cheng definitely nodded: "yes! Great miracle! When it is completed, no matter the tribe or the alliance, it can no longer threaten Dalaran. The magic city will be displayed in front of the world in a new attitude."

Prince fakurest turned and whispered a few words to a warlock who followed him. He soon turned back and said in a slightly threatening tone: "Well, you have succeeded in arousing my interest. I promise that as long as the information you provide is precious enough, I will let the merchant go, promise not to rob his caravan again, and tell you the purpose of our trip. But remember, if I find you cheating me, I'm sorry, these poor people will die because of you."

"Short and powerful, I like your way of speaking. No problem, I accept your additional conditions. In order to show my sincerity, I'll tell you what the so-called great miracle is. It's not a powerful magic or destructive weapon that many people imagine. It's a city, a city that can float in the sky, and a city that can be transmitted to any place in the world anytime, anywhere A corner of the city... "

"What... What?! a city floating in the sky!!!"

"How is this possible!"

"Fake! He must be lying!"

……

For a moment, everyone present was shocked by Dalaran in the future, and even unwilling to believe the possibility of his existence.
