Through a series of disguises, Elite still took advantage of the opportunity of Brandon Stone City to change the defense and slipped in quietly. Luckily, Brandon Stone City, although it is a city of gray dwarves, has always had mercenaries of various races. Therefore, Elite only dressed up in disguise and slipped in quietly, without attracting too many people's attention.
As soon as she entered the city, Ireta felt the tense atmosphere in Brandon Stone City, in addition to those gray dwarf warriors with red eyes who wanted to cut off an axe when they saw that anyone was not pleasing to their eyes, those mercenaries standing on the city wall and holding crossbows were also looking around vigilantly, and the entire Brandon Stone City was filled with a momentum of mountain rain.
In normal times, seeing his enemies making such a big deal would definitely make Ilet's heart feel refreshed, but unfortunately now he can't be happy. Because Elite knew very well that Brandon Stone City was defended so tightly and definitely not to deal with him, then it means that the information that had been circulated before that humans had come to the Dark Region should be true.
But for Ellett, what unstruck him the most was the blackstone tower that towered outside the city walls.
At this moment, the vampire count was carefully observing the situation inside Brandon Stone, and at the same time squinted his eyes and looked at the tall black tower in the distance. He had already learned most of the information about the necromancer from his spies, and if the rumors were true, then Iret would have to admit that the necromancer must have been a difficult opponent to deal with. And in this way, I'm afraid that Elise will really fall into the hands of the other party.
The only thing that Elite can comfort herself with now is that the necromancer should not have made Elise a corpse slave, because according to the information obtained by the spies, the dark elf who followed him before has always been a living person and has not become an undead creature. Then there should be no problem with my daughter...............
It's no wonder that Elite is so flustered, as a half-vampire, he has always been scheming, insidious and cunning. But he is very fond of his wife and daughter, especially after the death of his wife, Elite poured almost all his heart and soul into Elise as a daughter. This time something happened to Elise, and Illette was the most uncomfortable one. You must know that the reason why he recommended Elise to lead the patrol team to investigate was just to let his daughter hone more, and not always stay in Black Onyx Stone City to be flowers in the greenhouse. I sent Elise out just in the hope that she could gain more practical experience, but I didn't expect it to end up like this.
If I had known that this would be the case, I might as well let her grow up in the patrol............... Well?!
At this moment, a shadow suddenly flashed in front of Ellet's eyes, which made the vampire Count, who was originally a little absent-minded, suddenly lift his spirits, his eyes widened in surprise, and he looked ahead--I saw that the figure of the girl in a purple robe and nightcap not far away was not the precious daughter Elise that he had been thinking about day and night?
How is this possible?
Elite rubbed her eyes involuntarily and looked forward again. That's right, that's Elise! At this moment, his daughter was following a man who looked like a mage, whispering something to him, and then the two of them turned around and walked into the tall building next to them. This building was no stranger to Ellett, and it was the residence of the Archon of Brandon Stone......... Wait, what's the rhythm?
Staring at the scene in front of her in surprise, Ilett also frowned. Of course, he didn't believe that his daughter would defect to the gray dwarves, but what was going on? And who is that man?
Thinking of this, Ellett's mood that had been a little relaxed became tense again, and he hid in the dark shadows, staring at the entrance of the Archon's mansion, a pair of bright red eyes kept turning, not knowing what he was thinking.
And at this moment, in the consul's residence, Kadek was smiling and warmly entertaining the guests in front of him.
"Hello, Master Mage, I really didn't expect you to come in person, I was a little surprised."
"It's nothing."
In the face of Kadek's hospitality, Jenn, who was wrapped in shadows in his robes, still looked lukewarm. In fact, the reason why he came to Brandon Stone City this time was entirely because of Cardik's invitation, saying that there were some very important things he wanted to discuss with him. But even though Kadek hadn't spoken, Jenn could have almost guessed what he was thinking.
Sure enough, after a few pleasantries, Kadek immediately showed an extremely enthusiastic smile, rubbed his hands and spoke.
"Anyway, I forgot to thank you, Master Mage, for helping us Grey Dwarves eliminate those goblins, but you did us no harm. Speaking of which, you didn't attend the celebration party when we held it before, so please let us do your part this time..............."
Looking at the gray dwarf who looked more like a merchant than a consul, Jenn just played with the cane in his hand and stared at him silently. Kadek is not a good thing, and all the leaders in the dark regions who can make a name for themselves are ruthless and scheming. In the dark region, the criterion for judging who can become a leader is very simple -- as long as you are more insidious than anyone else, stronger than anyone else, and more vicious than anyone else, then you can unscrupulously enjoy the supreme delicacy from the fruit of power.
And after Kadek said a lot of nonsense, it was a change of words.
"Then again......... Master Mage, we have some minor trouble this time, and we hope to have your help again. ”
"Oh? What's the trouble? ”
Hearing this, Jenn's eyes flashed with a gleam, and then asked in a low voice.
"That's ..............."
As he spoke, Kadek hesitated slightly, looking like his family was ugly. But in the end, he sighed helplessly and said in a low voice.
"Your Excellency, do you remember that when we surrounded and suppressed the goblins before, we had a group of gray dwarves attacked by humans, in fact, we have investigated this matter clearly, and these humans are really not good! The reason why they attacked us Grey Dwarves was to launch an attack on our Brandon Stone City and thus plunder our wealth!! ”
Saying this, Kadek clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, looking extremely angry. And seeing this scene, Jenn also laughed wildly in his heart, of course he knew who Kadek was acting so hard for, even Jenn himself still didn't figure out what "evil" these humans wanted to destroy, but Kadek had already insisted that they were here to deal with Brandon Stone and the Gray Dwarves, which was really interesting.
However, whether it is talking about cross talk or acting in sketches, someone must cooperate. So looking at Kadek's performance, Jenn didn't say much, but reached out and raised his glasses, still staring at the gray dwarf in front of him silently. Sensing Jenn's reaction, Kadek wasn't too surprised. In fact, in front of the gray dwarves, Jenn always has a cold and strong attitude, which is why Kadek usually does not dare to provoke him.
But now...............
"But you don't know, my lord, in fact, the arrival of these humans is not so simple."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jenn narrowed his eyes curiously and stared at Kadek in front of him. He wanted to see what the grey dwarf archon could come up with. Sensing that Jenn had something to say about his words, Kadek immediately began to perform hard.
"In fact, the reason why these humans are targeting our Brandon Stone City is probably because of an ancient and mysterious magic weapon!"
"And that kind of thing?"
"Yes!!"
In the face of Jenn's inquiry, Kadek nodded his head and called a diligent.
"Your Excellency, you don't know, there is a magic artifact hidden in Brandon Stone City called the 'Book of Kane' that has been handed down from ancient times. Legend has it that this is a magic book written by the former archmage Kane, which records powerful ancient magic and spells. And this 'Book of Kane' was kept in a very secret place by the builders of Brandon Stone, and even I don't know the exact location..............."
At this, Kadek paused, looked up at Jenn with those incomparably clear little eyes. Hopefully he would ask, but Jenn just sat motionless, like a statue, completely unanswered. This made Kadek feel a little unaccomplished, but he stubbornly continued to speak.
"But my men have discovered that these humans from the surface possess the wand that Master Kane left behind when he was born, and I am afraid that it was the wand that led them here! If they break into Brandon Stone, we'll all suffer! ”
"Are you sure the wand led them here?"
Hearing this, Jenn finally spoke. I have to admit that this story made up by Kadek is really interesting, knowing that he is a mage, he made up such a magic book to attract his attention. Excuse yourself by saying that you don't even know where the magic book is, so that you can get rid of your relationship with that book. Then put all the blame on the humans, and if Jenn is obsessed with the magic book, then go and repel the humans!
"I don't know very well about this, but judging from the information my spies have gotten, it should be like this!"
As he spoke, Kadek clenched his fists angrily.
"Damn, these insidious, cunning human ..............."
Hehe, what right do gray dwarves have to accuse others of being insidious and cunning?
"So we'd like to have your help, Master Mage!"
It was only at this time that Kadek finally got to the point.
"You know, we don't have any spellcasters in Brandon Stone. But among those humans there are not only spellcasters, but even paladins! We can't deal with these alone, and we hope you can help us fight and destroy those hateful surface visitors! Of course, we will pay you handsomely for this......... How about it, as long as you can help us repel these evil ambitions of humanity, then you can get one-tenth of Brandon's annual earnings in return!! ”
Tenth?
Hearing this, Jenn raised an eyebrow. I have to admit that Kadek played a good game. One-tenth of Brandon Stone's annual income is not a small amount, and supporting Jenn's dungeon is more than enough. If it weren't for the fact that Jenn knew he couldn't get this payment from the gray dwarves in the first place, maybe he would have thought about it.
But now............ How can a tenth-of-the-tenth reward be as tempting as the wealth of the entire Brandon Rock City?
Thinking of this, Jenn stood up.
"It's a good idea, but I'd like to think about it."
"Of course that's fine, Master Mage."
Kadek's smile didn't change in the slightest.
