"Hehe, please don't be so polite. I won't sit back and watch a group of lawless pirates plunder the old town, whether from the perspective of peers in the river area or from the perspective of neighbors. In addition, I've long wanted to visit the famous haitar family and enjoy the highest man-made building in the world." after that, Zhang Cheng looked up and watched the flames rising from the top of the towering tower.
As a mage who is extremely sensitive to energy, he can clearly feel the magic energy revealed inside the wall.
There is no doubt that Shentian tower is not just a lighthouse and fortress as rumored. The builder may also give it the ability to study mysterious forces, just like the forgotten country and the mage tower of Azeroth.
After all, although the song of ice and fire seems to be a completely low demon world on the surface, in fact, as early as a long time ago, whether it is the brilliant Valeria, the son of the free forest, or the loyans who once fought with Valeria, they have frequently used magic power, not to mention the deep-sea race that has not been confirmed so far.
The more in-depth understanding, the more Zhang Cheng feels that there are countless secrets hidden under the surface of the world.
Perhaps, like the giant dragon from another world - kronada, behind every belief system worshipped by humans, there should be something real to support it. It may be a powerful magical creature or a mysterious race that hides itself. Otherwise, how can we explain these buildings and relics far beyond the current level of magical technology?
"Oh? Are you also interested in the history of the towering tower?" moroya hattal in a long black and gray dress took the initiative to step forward and saluted gracefully.
Although according to Leighton hattal's old appearance, her age should be at least higher than 30, she looks very young on the surface. The only thing that can prove the traces of years is her eyes full of wisdom and vicissitudes.
Most importantly, Zhang Cheng smelled magic from each other. Although it was very, very weak, it was enough to prove that the rumors of the Hattar family involved in alchemy, the dead and other mysterious forces were not groundless.
Aware of this, he raised his mouth with a playful smile, followed by a slight shake of his head: "no, what I am interested in is not history, but the role of the towering tower itself."
"Effect?" moroya seemed to be stimulated, and the whole person trembled slightly.
"Yes!" Zhang Cheng ignored the other party's abnormal reaction and explained to himself: "As we all know, magic is a powerful and unfathomable force that can do many incredible things. Fools think it is a gift from gods, smart people think it is an innate talent, and few people are willing to believe that it is a kind of knowledge and an ability that can be mastered through learning."
"What do you mean?" moroya seemed to realize something, and her expression gradually became dignified.
Zhang Cheng smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "nothing, I just sigh a little. After such a long decline of magic, there is still a family in Westeros that has retained the tradition of learning magic. Of course, it has to be mainly beneficial to..."
Before he finished speaking, Leighton hattal immediately interrupted: "sorry, count Mason, it's obviously not in line with the hospitality of the hattal family to let you stand at the door. Please come inside and talk slowly. It's just that I can accompany you around to satisfy your curiosity."
Needless to ask, the remarks about magic just now touched his most sensitive nerve.
To be exact, the Hatal family doesn't want to let their Magic Secrets be known by too many people, especially in public.
Although they don't know what the reason is, they have been trying to eliminate all supernatural forces in the seven kings, including dragons and magic, with the help of the school city and the church. Once the fact that they secretly study magic power is exposed, it will inevitably lead to a series of crises.
For the Hatal family, which has just experienced a catastrophe, there is no enough strength to deal with such a crisis.
As the mastermind behind the whole plot, Zhang Cheng obviously knows the enemy's weaknesses and weaknesses very well, so he forces the other party to make concessions with just a few words.
You know, according to the history books compiled by the scholars, only a few outsiders were invited by the haitar family to enter the towering tower.
But today, Leighton had to endure his anger and break the convention again.
Because he knew that the current situation of the family was almost no different from that of the conqueror during the war, and the young man in front of him was more terrible than the Dragon King AEGON. If he chose to refuse, it would probably be a disaster.
Watching the old man's anger flash in his eyes, Zhang Cheng bowed with a careless smile: "thank you very much! Please lead the way. I can't wait to see what it looks like inside."
"Please follow me, count," said moroya, sensing her father's anger, raising her arm and making a gesture of invitation.
"Please wait a moment. I need some time to arrange a little." then, Zhang Cheng turned to the old mercenary and said in a low voice, "everything should be done according to the original plan. Remember, once you see the signal I sent, immediately block the towering tower and the school city, and never allow anyone to approach or escape, okay?"
"Of course, my Lord. But are you sure you don't need to bring some guards?" Blanco kindly reminded.
"No, no, I'm enough alone. In addition, during my absence, Kulo kelba will temporarily obey your orders. If it's not necessary, don't let it carry out large-scale destruction and killing. Well, that's all I want to tell. Don't let me lose hope, or you know the consequences."
After that, Zhang Cheng pretended to pat the old mercenary on the shoulder and followed moroya into the tower.
After their figures disappeared on the stairs at the corner, the hatar family soldiers guarding the entrance immediately retreated to the first floor.
Obviously, they did not regard reinforcements from afar as friends, but as potential enemies.
Blanco looked at the guards with pity, followed by a low voice and said sarcastically, "what a group of poor people. I don't think they know who just went in."
"Head, do you want to give them some color to see?" another mercenary who was canonized as an aristocrat licked his lips with a bloodthirsty expression on his face.
"Idiot! How many times have I told you! Don't call me head! Call me baron or Lord! We're not damn mercenaries now! But nobles! Nobles! Nobles!" Blanc rolled his eyes angrily.
The reprimanded middle-aged man smiled and scratched his head: "well, well, my fault, noble baron. Do you want to teach these bastards a lesson after all?"
"Teach me a lesson! Didn't you listen to what the adult said just now? Do everything according to the plan! If you dare to make trouble, I'll let the Dragon eat you." Blanco threatened and ordered his men to be divided into two teams. One team surrounded the towering tower and the other team headed for the school city.
So far, the residents of the old town have not realized that the terrible massacre is coming
