Deep in the death mine, a man in black leather armor stood on the deck of an unfinished warship, frowning as if thinking about the next plan.
He was no one else, but Edwin van Clive, the builder of storm City, the former leader of the Mason guild, and the leader of the phidia brotherhood that turned storm City pale.
As a man filled with anger and hatred, what he is doing now is only for one purpose, that is to destroy storm City, kill all those self righteous nobles, and use each other's blood to ignite the revolutionary torch of the human world against the backward feudal system
Of course, it's not easy to do this. In particular, there are not only powerful professional legions in storm City, but also a series of special institutions such as mage tower, cathedral and mi7. None of them can be handled by the brotherhood.
Because of this, after Edwin van Clive controlled the western wilderness, he did not blindly expand everywhere, but just infiltrated into the twilight forest and Irwin forest to avoid provoking the sensitive nerves of storm city as much as possible.
What he wants to do is to build a powerful fleet, then approach storm city from the sea, use shelling to create an unprecedented chaos, and strike people's confidence in the storm Kingdom and the rule of the aristocratic Parliament.
It takes a lot of money to build a fleet, especially expensive guns. They can't be forged in general places. They can only be obtained from goblins through trade.
All the intelligent races in Azeroth know that these green skinned dwarfs don't care about justice and evil. As long as they make money, they can even sell their mother.
Unfortunately, although a lot of money has been obtained from looting homes, mining and farming in recent years, it can only be counted as enough to build three gunships, and this is the first one to be completed.
When Edwin van Clive was considering whether to wait for the completion of the first ship and drive to the port of windstorm city to give some color to the nobles who had humiliated him, a guy with a red mask jumped onto the deck and reported in a low voice: "chief, we found a sneaky young man outside Xiyue town! He said he wanted to see you!"
"Sneaky guy? Is it a spy?" Edwin van Clive frowned subconsciously.
The reason is very simple. Recently, he has solved at least six or seven spies suspected from mi7.
As a close friend of madias Shaw, he knows too well how powerful his friend is. Similarly, madias Shaw knows how difficult he is.
When they were young, they even learned from each other about each other's skills of flying over eaves and walls and taking the key directly, so they were very afraid of each other after they became enemies.
"No, I don't think he will be a spy. Anyway, the situation is a little complicated. You can see it with your own eyes." the man in the red mask quickly replied.
He really didn't know how to explain each other's disturbing eyes and demonic left hand.
"Well, bring him to me." Edwin van Clive hesitated for a moment and made his decision.
Anyway, the brotherhood is seriously short of manpower at present. Therefore, he even hired goblins, tauren, jackals, fishmen and notorious pirates. If one person joins, one more force will be added. If the other party is a spy sent by storm City, it's better to kill it directly.
Soon, under the escort of two brotherhood assassins, Zhang Cheng, who was covered in a cloak, was taken to the ship.
Edwin van Clive narrowed his eyes and looked up and down at each other. It was a full minute before he smiled and asked, "do you want to see me?"
"Yes!" Zhang Cheng calmly stroked his chest with one hand and bowed slightly to show his respect.
You know, in the next few months, he will depend on each other to support him. Naturally, he should show a little humility.
"Why are you wearing a hood? Do you have anything to hide?" continued Edwin van Clive, not busy.
"Er... How to say, I look a little scary now. If you don't mind, it's nothing to take it off." after saying that, Zhang Cheng raised his hand and gently took off his hood.
moment
Everyone around revealed a trace of inner fear in their eyes!
The pupil of his left eye has completely turned into dark green, a symbol of magic power. From time to time, it will reflect the light of fire. As for the body, it is even more terrible.
The left half of the body, from the hand to the shoulder, to the neck, and even the face, is covered with a layer of purple scales, and there is an unknown black fog around the scales.
Obviously, in just three and a half days, the condition of his left hand was not controlled, but began to change more and more towards the form of devil. There was a small bulge on his forehead. If there was no accident, he would grow a horn in a short time.
"Evil... Devil?!" Edwin van Clive's face changed slightly.
Rao was well-informed, and he couldn't help being startled by the terrible sight he saw.
In fact, not only him, but also the shipbuilders and supervisors around him stepped back for several steps, and their faces were full of fear.
Even a little girl with black hair couldn't help screaming
Zhang Cheng had expected this to happen. He sighed helplessly and explained, "no, I'm a warlock. Now this is just a little accident in studying the devil's power. In addition, I heard that the brotherhood is recruiting people. I don't know if you are willing to accept me?"
Edwin van Clive hesitated obviously for a few seconds before continuing to ask, "what can you provide for the brotherhood?"
"Many! First of all, I have a good alchemy, which can make magic medicine for the brotherhood. Second, I have the power to summon and control demons, and can provide good combat power for the brotherhood. Finally, and most importantly, I can never be an agent of storm city. I believe you should know very well that I can't be superior to those in storm city The nobles accept me, so the possibility that I am a spy is almost zero. "Zhang Cheng said with a confident smile.
In order to cover up his identity, he never revealed that he was still a mage of the kenrito Parliament. Even the violet ring, a symbol of identity, was taken off and hidden.
Edwin van Clive nodded thoughtfully, "yes! You are the talent needed by the brotherhood. But finally, what do you want from us?"
"My request is very simple, a quiet residence, some special materials to be consumed for research, a set of alchemy tools, three meals a day, that's all." Zhang Cheng pretended to be down and made the offer.
"Yes! From now on, you are a member of the brotherhood. As a test, your first task is to prepare 30 bottles of primary life potions. I will send materials and alchemy tools to your room later..."
