Chapter 909: The Secret Covenant
Silent!
Maybe the topic just now was a little too heavy, or maybe it was that the names that shine in the long river of history have put great pressure on Ragon, and he didn't even know what to say for a while, and the evil red light in his eyes flickered non-stop, and it took a long time before he sighed slightly.
"Hey...... Maybe the world is hiding countless secrets, as you said, but those are not the issues that should be concerned right now. I just want to know the news of the Necromantic Emperor Sean VII, where is he hiding now? How's the strength restored? ”
"Hah! I can't see that you're still a realist, and you only care about the present and not the future. Well, it's rare that I'm in a good mood today, so it's okay to sue you. Sean VII is now hiding in the towers of the Masked Mage's Guild of Askatra, possessed by a Moon Elf woman named Zaranora. I had a brief fight with him last time, and I don't think he's fully recovered. However, if you are not 100% sure, it is best not to act rashly, after all, a Necromantic Emperor who is on the surface is far easier to deal with than a Necromantic Emperor who is hidden. ”
Henry smiled mysteriously after speaking, looking a little meaningful. The reason why he said this was actually to create a form of equal strength, to prevent the talisman from taking advantage of the fire to rob and directly kill Shane VII in waves, otherwise how to play balance in the future.
As his own power grows stronger, he gradually begins to understand that the essence of neutrality is the balance between good and evil, chaos and order, and that too much kindness will lead to weakness, and too much evil will make people despair. Too much order is the same as no freedom. Too much chaos and it will fall apart.
Everything in the universe is moving according to certain laws. Any kind of extreme will lead to irreparable and catastrophic consequences, and only neutrality and neutrality are the real forces that guarantee the normal functioning of the world.
It is no wonder that the world-famous legendary mage Demon Duncan of Gray Eagle has formed his own private army and frequently participates in wars. Perhaps he also saw through this, so he joined the team to maintain balance without hesitation.
However, Henry didn't plan to get involved directly like Duncan Mo, because it was so much of a fire that he preferred to hide behind the scenes. Through some means to make adjustments, he not only vigorously supports the development of the good camp, but also secretly contacts the evil organization, and once one side has a big move, he will immediately notify the other party of the news, so as to achieve the goal of balance.
Of course, it will not be easy to do this, but he plans to try it on the west coast of the Faren Continent now, and if the results are good, he will continue to expand inland, and if he can't control it, he will give it up decisively. Anyway, if something really goes wrong, the god Io will definitely jump out and solve it.
"You've met with Sean VII?"
Ragon is an old lich who has lived for thousands of years. I instantly found the most important part from what I just said.
As the leader of an evil organization, he didn't believe that anyone would be so kind as to provide the news of the Necromantic Emperor without asking for anything, so he was always paying attention to every detail, and his vigilance was beyond imagination.
"That's right, he's now in control of the entire Masked Mage Guild, and I happen to be a member of this organization. However, a few months ago, we had an in-depth conversation, but it was not very pleasant, so I decided to change sides, I wonder if you are still satisfied with this answer? Henry asked rhetorically with a smile.
He joined the Masked Mage Guild in a public capacity, so this point could not be concealed at all, so it was better to say it generously.
Ragon nodded thoughtfully: "I see, there is a conflict between you. It's okay, on behalf of the Entangled Talisman, I thank you for the news, and I promise that if there is anything you need help in the land of Kalinsan in the future, please say so, as long as we can do it, we will not refuse. Also, I'll take care of your request, Ali? Hassan? Abdul? Majid? Tikriti is now safe, and the underground forces of Port Carlin are completely at your disposal. But there is one request, and you must promise never to be on the side of Sean VII. ”
"No problem, not only can I promise not to side with Sean VII, but I can also do you a little favor when you're at a disadvantage. After all, the idea of the Talisman Society is very much to my liking, and as long as you keep a low profile, you may be able to form an alliance in the future. ”
In Henry's opinion, the talisman will vs the Necromantic Emperor may be a close contest at the beginning, but as Shane VII's power slowly recovers to its peak, the balance of victory will slowly tilt, and in order to maintain balance, he will inevitably have to intervene in it, so he promised in advance.
The most important thing is that the Talisman Society has never been the kind of organization that is evil for the sake of evil, they have a clear purpose, and they never carry out large-scale killing and destruction activities, except for the Church of Ilmat, the God of Suffering, who is disgusted with the activities of the undead in the main plane, the Church of Kranvo, the God of Death, who is disgusted with the activities of the undead in the main plane, and the Church of Losanda, which never thinks about the consequences, other good organizations do not have much ill feelings towards it.
As the saying goes, it's always better to work with sane people than with crazy people, especially if a high-IQ evil organization like the Talisman Society knows how to hide itself, which is definitely the best partner.
Of course, it is also necessary to look for opportunities to take a pit, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger to let these powerful undead creatures hide behind the scenes.
"Why choose us? Or what do you want from us? Ragon asked, lowering his voice.
The old lich does not believe that there is a free lunch in the world, and that there must be a demand for any effort, this is the eternal truth of the whole world, and he will not accept any help lightly until he finds out, because that often means a deeper conspiracy.
Henry smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "It's very simple, I want to get Karlinsan's population resources. After all, countless people die every day from hunger, disease and accidents, which is a bit of a waste, and I think they should all be put to good use. ”
"That's it?"
The red light in Ragon's eyes flickered slightly. Obviously a little disbelieving in this set of arguments.
In fact. The Masters of Symbols are more or less fond of complicating simple things. Keep speculating about the cause and effect of each thing, and then analyze whether there is any conspiracy mixed in it.
Even if you say the hard truth, these guys will ponder it dozens of times, because they don't trust anyone lightly.
Henry obviously knew this, so he sighed helplessly and replied, "Of course! It may be a small thing for you, but for me it's about a series of very important plans. Don't underestimate those civilians, if a civilization in this world loses them, it will collapse in an instant. An adequate population is the cornerstone of civilization. ”
"Okay. I agree to this condition, and in order to maintain close contact, it is best for you to send a representative to join our organization. Remember, it can only be the undead. As he spoke, Ragon stretched out his right hand, which was only a bone.
"No problem, I'll send a representative within a month. I wish us a happy cooperation! Henry also held out his right hand.
"Happy working together!"
The moment the two fingers touched each other, a strong magical aura was released, followed by a black rune that quickly emerged, wrapping around the entire arm, and slowly disappeared after more than ten seconds.
There is no doubt that they had just made a secret magical pact with each other. In order to ensure that the other party is sincerely cooperating, once one party violates the agreement. Then a black rune will emerge to alert the other party.
Although this kind of contract is not binding, it can minimize the possibility of danger and betrayal, after all, the power of legendary mages is too strong, and most contracts are of no use to them at all, so they can only use guò to reassure the other party a little.
Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Ragon stopped talking nonsense, and directly cast a teleportation spell and disappeared in place, and the other masters of the runes also left, especially the legendary vampire, who glanced at the slowly rising sun with a look of disgust before leaving.
Although with her current strength, even standing in the sun will not be good, but the hatred of sunlight and positive energy will never diminish, it is like wrapping a person in a plastic bag and throwing it into a dung pit, even if you know that you have not been exposed to something disgusting, you will still have a conditioned reflex.
As soon as the members of the Talisman Society left, Arcanis immediately came out of the alley not far behind, and asked eagerly, "How is it, has it been negotiated?" ”
Henry laughed and patted the legendary thief on the shoulder and replied, "Haha! Yes! Now the underground forces of the whole Port Carlin are mine. You can start thinking about picking a site now, as long as it's not too big. ”
"Damn! It's finally done! The bloodhead will be very happy to hear the news! Arcanis waved his arm excitedly.
He knew very well how important this first step was, as once the Shadow Thieves were able to gain a foothold in Port Carlin, they would soon be able to infiltrate the area around the Lake of Steam through the well-developed maritime trade, and henceforth it would no longer be just a small local force, but a large criminal organization that crossed borders.
"Don't rejoice too soon, we still have a lot of trouble to deal with, it's time to speed up and get rid of those ambitious guys." After saying that, a cold light flashed in Henry's eyes.
"I've been ready for a long time! As soon as you nod your head, the guild leaders will die silently. Arcanis licked his lips bloodthirstily, a sneer crossing his face.
He has been cheated by the local gangs in this city too many times, and he has always held back his anger and has not vented it, and he is planning to take this opportunity to declare his personal vendetta and let those bastards know the fate of teasing the shadow thief.
Henry clearly felt the killing intent emanating from Arcarnes, and waved his hand with a sinister smile: "No, my friend, your method is a little too simple and crude. I think assassination is true, but don't kill the target, but make it better to have their hands or maim them. ”
"Oh...... Hey, hey, hey! I understand! You want them to kill each other. It's a vicious idea, but I love ......" (to be continued......
