"Oh, misunderstanding, hehehehe......"

Zhang Cheng sneered with an inexplicable meaning on his face, looked each other up and down, and at the same time quickly searched his mind for the more famous forces in the game, and soon locked on two targets.

Obviously, there are two organizations that can be active in the Hillsbrad Hills, one is the Syndicate and the other is Ravenhold.

The former was an Altranac nobleman who was exiled during the Second Alliance and Horde War for betraying the Alliance.

The goal of these guys is to regain their own territory and status, and to this end, they do not hesitate to use assassination, deception, theft and other despicable methods, and even occupy Dunhold Castle, as well as a large number of farmsteads and watchtowers.

Prior to the Scourge of the Dead, their power had expanded to include the Silver Pines Forest, the Hillsbrad Hills, the Alterac Mountains, the Arathi Highlands, the valley hinterland on the shores of Lake Lordamere, and so on, and almost all of the transportation hubs were controlled by this evil organization, forming a vast network of monopolies.

Perhaps in another ten years, the ambitious Otlan nobles will really be able to rely on economic skills to subvert the rule of the Lordaeron Kingdom.

But alas, fate played a little joke......

Just when they thought their plan was about to succeed, a terrible plague swept across the northern continent, and Lordaeron, known as the most powerful kingdom of the humans of Azeroth, was devastated, and countless syndicate-controlled places were occupied by a tidal wave of undead, with only a small part of the south remaining.

As for the so-called subversive plan, it was also postponed indefinitely, at least until the Scourge and the Forsaken threat were resolved, and the leaders of the Syndicate did not dare to act rashly.

The latter is a very mysterious Assassin organization, completely indifferent to race and faction.

Whether it is humans, elves, undead, trolls, orcs, as long as their strength is recognized, they are qualified to be a member of them, and few people know their true purpose, only that the organization has been recruiting elite thieves and constantly collecting intelligence from all over the world.

In addition, the main spheres of influence of these two groups are in the area from the Hills Bled Hills to the Alterac Valley, so it is inevitable that there will be friction and contradictions, and over time they will become mortal enemies.

Zhang Cheng felt that it was more likely that these guys in front of him were syndicates, after all, Ravenhod would never attack passing caravans for money, they were more like the kind of mercenaries who collected money to do things, rather than insatiable robbers.

The man with the delicate mustache took two steps back cautiously, keeping a false smile on his face, and defended himself in a very sly tone: "That's right, Your Excellency the Mage, I assure you that everything that happened just now was due to a small intelligence error. If I had known in advance that you were living here, I wouldn't have sent someone to deliver a gift and greeting, and then waited for permission to do so. ”

"Get permission?hahahaha! You think I'll give you permission to attack a caravan under my protection?" Zhang Chengcheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He originally thought that he was shameless enough sometimes, but compared to the guy in front of him, he was not even worthy of lifting shoes for the other party.

At least after he failed to take the initiative to attack someone, he would never be able to say the word "misunderstanding", because anyone who is not a fool can clearly distinguish what is "misunderstanding" and what is "deliberate attack".

"Why not? I believe that in this world, everything has a price, as long as I can afford a price that satisfies you. Besides, this cunning merchant probably didn't tell you that he had a small box of precious Arcane Crystals hidden in his goods, and that he wanted to take your refuge with just some cheap food, which in my opinion is essentially a deception. Since he deceived you from the beginning, why do you continue to shelter him?"

With that, the man turned and glanced meaningfully at old George, who had bruises on his face.

The latter opened his mouth to say something, but before he could make a sound, he immediately noticed a sharp dagger hidden in the darkness, pressed against Jenny's slender neck, and quickly closed his mouth.

Due to the dim lighting, Zhang Cheng didn't notice these hidden little movements, but he wasn't stupid enough to believe a guy who wanted to kill him a few minutes ago.

He just stared at the arcane crystal in the box that emitted a charming halo, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, then, what price are you going to use to buy me, what price are you going to use to redeem your life?"

"What do you think of half a crate of Arcane Crystals? This is the most valuable mineral in Azeroth, and a small piece is worth a full year's worth of a farm. And for a powerful mage like you, Arcane Crystals mean not only wealth, but also a lot of other things, such as powerful magical items......"

The man with the mustache undoubtedly noticed Zhang Cheng's look at the arcane crystal, and immediately offered to quid pro quo.

But he didn't know that the reason why Zhang Cheng paid so much attention to the Arcane Crystal was not out of greed, but just wanted to see with his own eyes what the mysterious materials used to make top-notch weapons and armor in the game looked like.

It has to be said that from a visual point of view, anyone who sees an Arcane Crystal for the first time will be attracted by the intense aura it emits.

Gold, orange, blue, red, purple, green, silvery......

The arcane crystals inside the wooden box are like stars hanging in the night sky, and even if they have no practical use, it is believed that many people will go crazy for the beautiful appearance of this mineral.

At the moment when Zhang Cheng's attention was firmly attracted, a cold light suddenly flashed in the darkness!

Followed by the next second......

Burst!!

The blinding bright red liquid squirted out a meter away, scattering everywhere!

The man with the delicate mustache looked incredulous, clutching the main artery that was constantly spurting blood, raised his trembling right hand, and pointed to the black shadow that was close at hand, as if to say something.

But unfortunately, the blood blocked his throat and trachea, and he could only make a short "drink" sound, and after struggling desperately for more than ten seconds, he fell to the ground with a thud, and his two eyes full of fear slowly lost their lustre.

The shadow hidden in the darkness, with an assassination technique that ordinary people could not capture at all, easily cut a series of deadly parts of the neck, including the throat, trachea, and major arteries, and it took less than a second from appearance to end.

Even he cruelly deliberately did not choose to let the target die immediately, but instead made the target feel the pain of not being able to breathe before dying, as well as the fear caused by the massive loss of blood.

Only psychopaths and madmen who enjoy killing, who enjoy taking away their lives, would choose to do so.

As dark red blood dripped down the gaps between the planks, there was a dead silence all around the forest hut......
