On the Seven Towers

The image of the image crystal was frozen in Orville's mocking eyes. At this moment, it was as if the images of Hong Lifeng and Orville were superimposed. Li Jia felt that those eyes traveled through time and space, piercing into his heart and making him shiver. The light and shadow of the image reflected on Li Jia's face, making the ravines on his bowed head look particularly ferocious.

After a while, Zhang Hong said: "This doesn't mean anything. I can find a homeless man tomorrow and ask him to talk nonsense like this and put the crime of murder on you. Who do you think my compatriots will believe?" ?”

"Have you forgotten that you have so many mages?" Cole came close to Zhang Hong, his head almost touching his. "They may not be able to tell whether the image is true or false, but they will not be able to detect your mental state. ? Is this the first time today that you are so scared that you are covered in cold sweat?"

Zhang Hong suddenly remembered Chu Ying's affair. Although he didn't know the details, it was said that it was Xiao Chen who investigated Chu Ying thoroughly, and in the end his brain was damaged. This guy has always been jealous of himself. How could he let go of this opportunity to add insult to injury? Since the committee would mobilize so much force to deal with things like opening a small factory, how could it not use this method to deal with things like betraying the enemy and killing companions?

"What do you want?" Zhang Hong asked bitterly.

Cole didn't waste any time. He put away the crystal and took out two small discs: "This is a magic prop left over from the Seven Towers era called the 'Passthrough Door'. Every time you use it, you can teleport a person to your side." . Although it is a one-time magic item, it is very stable and cannot be blocked by the city defense barrier. "

"You, you want me to let two people infiltrate Heimuguan?" Zhang Hong asked.

"How can it be such a simple task? This is a rare treasure left in the world." Cole looked at Zhang Hong, "I want you to help someone open the Black Wood Pass!"

"You're crazy! This can't be done! If I really do it for you, I'll be finished. Completely finished. I will be beaten to death by them even when I open the door. Then I would rather accept the trial! I I killed Hong Lifeng, but it was a manslaughter, and I was forced by the thieves. They will understand me and give me a lighter sentence! I will not do such a bottomless thing!

Don't force me, if you do, I will report you right now, and we'll be done! "Zhang Hong roared at the top of his voice.

Cole kept watching him hysterically indifferently. When Zhang Hong calmed down a little, he said: "No, no, no, you are thinking too much. Things will not develop like this. Think about it, what you have to do is very simple, Just activate these two things at the right time. Then show them the way to the city gate, and leave the rest to the people who come over. All you have to do next is to disappear and hide, so as not to be hurt by the insurgents. No one will know what you have done. Don't worry, I will tell the truth. After all, your value is much more than that. Our Emperor would really like to have a friend like you in the Tower of China.

Calm down and think carefully about what I said. Is this true? "

When Zhang Hong said this, he naturally made some calculations in his mind. After some deliberation, it seemed that it was indeed the case, "But in that case, why don't you do it? You can do it now, right?"

Cole said angrily: "Please use your brain. Now that Earl John is here to visit, this is the time when your defenses are the most rigorous. Isn't doing this kind of thing now seeking death? I need you to be in a safer place inside the customs." Do this when your defenses are lax."

"But if your army doesn't withdraw for a day, the defense here will not relax for a day." Zhang Hong argued, "Do you think your army will not guard the door tightly if your army stays outside?"

Cole chuckled twice: "Very good, it seems that you have started to stand with me and consider the problem. You are right, I will naturally give you a chance after some time. Just wait for the opportunity."

"You mean, you guys will cooperate outside the customs?" Li Jia asked.

"That's right. Do you think Earl John is really here to talk about military passage? How much hope do you think he has? Our wise Majesty has already anticipated your reaction." Cole pointed to the direction of the banquet, "Then It's just a show. All the previous conversations with the person in charge here were just a little bit of luck. Only here, we were fully prepared and never thought that you would refuse. .You are the protagonist today, you know?”

"I..., why are you all forcing me?" Zhang Hong's tone was a bit frustrated. He pressed harder than Cole, feeling like he was trapped in a trap that was difficult to escape, "I, I don't want to do it. What protagonist, I don’t want to have anything to do with you, I just want to do my own thing quietly, why do you, the horse thieves, the natives, Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, so many people have trouble with me!”

"No one can exist without others, not even saints. Having so many people come to you shows that you are very different." Cole patted Zhang Hong on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you think from a good place? What? As long as you complete this matter, we will have a basis for cooperation, and you can get all kinds of support from the empire."

"What do I need your support for? I just need you to stay away from me." Zhang Hong said.

"I know there is no emperor among you, but you have a committee. As far as I know, you are still very interested in joining the committee, right?

Politics and politics are different in form, but they are essentially the same. They are both games where people compete for resources. This sentence was said by our emperor. In the Imperial Senate, the competition is about the resources in each person's hands. Whoever has more resources has a louder voice. I think it is the same in the committee, right?

However, as far as I know, what do you have on hand? You are just an ordinary high-level mage. Money? Intelligence? Manpower? You lack all of them. But if you have an empire behind you to help you, it will be very different. Money is just a matter of putting the golden eagle and treasures into a storage ring; intelligence, the black guards all over the continent can give you secrets that others don't know at all; manpower, if you want to kill a certain opponent, we can help you achieve it. With these, you will far exceed your competitors. Whether it is Luo Ling, Xiao Chen, or the old men and women in the committee now, who can compare with you? Whose foundation can compare with the Purple Eagle Empire? "

Zhang Hong lowered his head and said nothing, but his uneasy eyes revealed his inner vacillation.

Cole stuffed the two "gates of travel" into his hands, and then said: "The opportunity is in your hands. However, if you don't do it when you should, then there will be several letters sent to the leaders of Hewan New District, Suero City and Heimuguan.

Think about it, my friend. "
