Philosophers once said that in real life, people often have to choose between "better" and "better", but between "worse" and "not so bad".

Obviously, it was unacceptable for Waterdeep to watch the assault team annihilated, and once they were killed by the summoned demons, it meant defeat, and it meant that it was no longer possible to prevent the holders of the Shattered Demon Shard from taking over Neverwinter and bringing the hundreds of thousands of surrounding people under Luskan's control.

This will inevitably create a huge force that can match Waterdeep, or even have a slight advantage.

So after a short hesitation, the unknown woman brought Zhang Cheng to the Supreme Commander of the coalition forces.

Of course, there was also the Lord of Neverwinter, Nasir.

Although there are many bards who tell the story of his adventures and feats, it will be clear to those who have seen it for themselves that this is nothing more than an old man who has been corrupted by politics, interests and power.

He may still have retained his skills in combat, but he has lost the most precious thing in his heart as a warrior, which is courage and the spirit of fighting to the death.

"Good day, honorable Lord Nasir, and the unknown commander of the Waterdeep Expeditionary Force. I'm glad you're willing to meet me, and I promise I won't let you down. Zhang Cheng bent down and bowed gracefully, not wavering in the slightest because of the crowd of heavily guarded guards and spellcasters around him.

"Good day, Lord of the North Tower. Or...... Should I call you Ingrocasti Mizirian?" Before Nasir could speak, the commander of the Waterdeep Expeditionary Force meaningfully called out the name of the dragon's original owner.

I have to say that when he heard this name, Zhang Cheng's face showed undisguised surprise, and after a long while, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders and asked: "Is it the news that the Harpists Alliance gave you? It's incredible! I have changed so much, and there are still people who can find out this." ”

"Harpists? No, no, no, they don't have that much ability. It's Lady Erastro, who learns a little secret from a group of adventurers from Ten Towns. For example, a white dragon that was supposed to die suddenly came back to life and became a black dragon that breathed fire, and also participated in the Battle of Icewind Dale, which broke out last year. I'm curious, what's going on with you?"

With that, the commander took off his hood, revealing a pair of eyes that were a mixture of curiosity and sagacity.

"I see...... It's Trist and his allies......" Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully. "Can you tell me your name before I answer the question?"

"Marco, Marco Haber. The commander of Waterdeep bluntly reported his name.

"A member of the Hubbell family in Chang'an Town?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He originally thought that if there was such a big event as the Shattered Demon Crystal, how could Waterdeep send a big person like Kelburn or his wife Lyra, but who would have thought that he would actually be a member of the Hubbell family.

You must know that this famous wizard family has always been known for being "unexpected".

Don't think it's a compliment or a compliment, on the contrary, it's a terrible curse and a disaster, and very few members of the Hubbell family survive to the end of their lives, either dying in a thousand magical experiments, or losing themselves and going insane in the most dangerous realms.

Perhaps aware of the terrible influence of his family's "reputation", an embarrassed but polite smile appeared on Hubbell's face: "That's right, I'm a member of the Hubbell family. But don't worry, I left Chang'an a long time ago and spent many years with Aurosang as an assistant and friend, and in a way, I can make promises and sign agreements in his place. ”

"What about the black rod himself, why didn't he show up?" Zhang Cheng, who was very suspicious, obviously didn't believe the other party so easily, and continued to squint his eyes and test it.

"He and his wife, Leila, have more important things to attend to, so please make your terms. What do you have to do to betray the Arcane Brotherhood and end this pointless war?" Hubbell seemed to know something, and didn't see the dragon in front of him as an enemy.

Zhang Cheng undoubtedly noticed this, and subconsciously frowned: "Do you know my intention?"

Marco nodded seriously: "Yes." Aurosan, through the prophecy spell, foresaw your arrival in advance, and he knew that you were not an enemy, at least not yet. ”

"Can prophecy magic really predict the future?"

If there is any kind of magic that Zhang Cheng has never touched, the Prophecy Department is definitely at the top of the list.

To be precise, he has always had a strong distrust and rejection of such a thing as predicting the future, so when transforming the casting level, he did not hesitate to choose to specialize in the necromantic system and exclude the prophecy system from his research scope.

"Hehe, it seems that you don't like prophecy magic very much. In fact, except for a handful of prophetic masters like Arlando the Wise, no one can truly predict the future, and prophecy spells can only allow the caster to see a certain fragment of the future and then deduce the specific process based on the memories and knowledge in their own minds. So you can think of prophecy as a conduit for information, and it's the mage's mind that really works. Marco tapped his temple lightly and explained.

"Sounds interesting. ”

"Believe me, it will not only exercise your ability to cast spells, but also exercise your brain's logical thinking and reasoning, and it would be unwise to give up the prophecy spell. ”

......

Just as the two of them began to discuss the mysteries of magic, Lord Nasir of Neverwinter finally couldn't help but cough vigorously: "Ahem, Master Marco, our people are still fighting bloodily, and it seems that now is not the time to exchange knowledge and skills. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect a dragon to have such a profound understanding of magic. You see, most dragons are very arrogant, lazy, and don't bother to learn from mortals. But Ingarocasti Mizilian was completely different, he had a very high level of knowledge and a desire to explore. Marco replied excitedly.

Obviously, the common problem of the Hubbell family, the desire to explore unknown territories and acquire new knowledge, finally manifested in him vividly.

However, it is a pity that Lord Nasir is a warrior and cannot understand the mage's way of thinking, so he urges impatiently: "Our soldiers are still bleeding!

"As you wish!" Hubbell sighed a little helplessly, raising his head to look into Zhang Cheng's eyes. "So back to the topic, what do we need to pay for you to betray the Arcane Brotherhood and help us end this war?"
