Chapter 424

In the evening, when the afterglow of the sun gradually disappeared from the sea level, several people in gray cloaks gathered in an old warehouse on the wharf and were discussing the topic of betrayal and assassination

"We can't wait any longer! Once Akram Grice has made up for his life expectancy, he will clean the whole organization, and no one will be better then," a hoarse man snapped a warning.

Another woman shook her head with an ugly face: "no! We can't act rashly! I believe you can see that Akram Grice's spell casting ability is far above us, and any rash action will only lead to death."

"Death? It's better to fight hard than to wait for death! Broken magic crystal is a powerful artifact. We must complete the plan before Akram Grice completely controls it!"

"That's right! I agree! Don't forget that we have bought two of Akram Grice's most trusted followers. As long as we kill the assistant who helps him manage the inside of the spire, we will have a chance to enter his bedroom and launch an accurate and deadly raid."

"Agree! I believe that after he gets the broken magic crystal, he will seize every minute and second to study the magic of prolonging life. He has no spare energy to pay attention to what happens in the organization, so tonight is the best time to start."

"In that case, let's kill the assistant tonight! And then Akram Grice in two weeks!"

As the last word fell, the masked people participating in the discussion soon disappeared with the help of magic.

No one knows who they are except before each other, let alone their position in the arcane brotherhood.

But for one thing, the death of the former head of the North Tower, the Striped wizard dandiba, made these guys feel an unprecedented threat, so they planned to unite to overthrow Akram Grice's absolute rule over luscan.

In fact, as early as several years ago, several high-level mages hid in the dark and planned. Now, due to the emergence of klin Simpson, they have to launch in advance.

……

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Zhang Cheng.

As the new leader of the North Tower, he is sitting in his own room, constantly reading magic books borrowed from the library.

These include more than 20 boring theories rarely touched by most mages, such as introduction to the plane and the universe, the discovery and formation of the half plane, the characteristics of elf magic, the difference between arcane masters and modern mages in the netherre era, and in-depth analysis of the magic net.

It has to be said that as a continent with many higher magic civilizations, the system theory derived by Phelan, whether in depth or breadth, is far more than the magic city Dalaran of Azeroth.

After all, from the beginning, the latter defined magic as a terrible force that attracted demons and disasters, and set up many obstacles in the process of research, for fear of inadvertently leading to the invasion of the Burning Legion, or the outbreak of the second natural disaster of the dead.

However, the former regards magic as a kind of neutral energy without any tendency of good and evil. In addition, powerful spell casters can transmit spells through some higher levels and travel to other planes or planets in the multi universe. Over time, different civilizations like the Silk Road on earth have formed to learn and communicate with each other.

Take the spells with the name of the creator in the spell book. At least one third come from a mage organization called Ba ye in the gray Eagle world.

Therefore, if Azeroth is compared to a magical civilization developed in a relatively closed environment, then the continent of Fallon is a magical world born through continuous learning and Optimization in an open environment.

However, as every brilliant magic civilization comes to the end, there will be a series of terrible disasters, which will eventually lead to the loss of a large number of precious materials. At present, the magic of Phelan continent does not seem very developed, and some places are even a little stupid and backward.

But this does not mean that those magical civilizations that were once brilliant have completely disappeared.

On the contrary, the lost civilization and knowledge are hiding in a corner of the world, waiting for adventurers and ambitious people to discover.

This is why Zhang Cheng, who always likes to be alone, wants to annex and transform a force. He needs enough people to help him find the technology and knowledge left over from ancient times.

Just as he had just forcibly suppressed the boiling desire for destruction in his mind and planned to seize the time to read the next book, a woman's voice suddenly came in from outside the door.

"Dear Lord of the North Tower, I'm Sydney, Padawan dandiba of the Striped wizard. I want to talk to you about something."

"Sydney? Come in." Zhang Cheng recalled for a moment, and soon remembered a woman with brown hair and not very beautiful appearance.

"Thank you!"

As he expected, the 25-year-old Xini looks very ordinary, and has not been dressed up. She can see a lot of freckles on her face. Only her eyes with strong ambition are impressive.

Wearing a gray robe symbolizing his apprenticeship, he stroked his chest with one hand and respectfully saluted: "good evening, master, I'm sorry to disturb you so late."

"Come on, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Cheng closed his book and looked at each other with interest.

Although he has seen many ambitious women before, most of them are more implicit and prefer to achieve their goals through the help of men. There has never been such a direct and undisguised as Xini.

"Dear Lord of the North Tower..." Xini said carefully.

But before she finished speaking, Zhang Cheng interrupted with a smile: "don't add honorifics every time! You can call my name Mason Aspen."

"All right, Mr. Mason." Sydney shrugged helplessly. "As you can see, I used to be an apprentice of the Striped wizard dandiba. With his strength, I managed to get my position today. But he died this afternoon, so I need a new mentor. In return, you can get my loyalty and everything."

"Oh? Do you want to be my apprentice?" a playful smile appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

"Yes! Maybe you don't know. Just a few hours ago, many people outside began to connect secretly, trying to take advantage of your precarious foothold to seize the position of the Lord of the North Tower, and I can help you through this crisis." after saying that, Xini looked up with a strong desire for power in her eyes.

Needless to ask, she had no idea who the young man sitting in the chair was. She just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get more benefits for herself.

"Help me?! ha ha!"

Zhang Cheng seemed to hear some funny jokes and laughed recklessly.

As he laughed, he stood up, grabbed each other's slender neck with his right hand, lifted it from the ground, and his eyes burst out a flame of madness and destruction: "who do you think I am? A clown without self-protection ability, or a puppet at the mercy of others? No, honey, I promise that whoever wants to deal with me must pay an extremely heavy price."
