Chapter 135 Network of Relationships
On the surface, Earl Luford is just the most ordinary earl, not even the more independent and powerful border earl. Tang Zhao thinks that there is probably some big boss behind him, but this kind of thing is temporarily different from the current situation.
He has nothing to do with him. He is too far away to be contacted.
Talking back to the demon scroll itself, this kind of thing is a matter of principle and cannot appear on the surface. However, according to the spellcaster he captured before, the demon scroll is sold in the real black market in Luford.
Moreover, the supply is still in short supply, making it truly rare. Spellcasters in the bottleneck period want to use it to increase their strength, and curious nobles want to buy these things home and collect them.
According to what he said, Luford's truly shady underground business was also concentrated on this street. Tang Zhao came here just to check out the spot and try his luck to see if he could catch the scent of the devil's scroll.
But it failed unexpectedly. Both the buyer and the seller took special measures to take precautions.
[It’s obviously not possible to rely on that human woman. At her level, she can’t come into contact with things like devil scrolls. She will definitely show cowardice during the transaction, which is very disadvantageous to me. In this case, it is better to call someone knowledgeable.]
He had a rough idea in his mind, and Tang Zhao didn't write any ink, so he immediately ran back to the hotel where the goblins were temporarily staying, and asked them to write a letter for him and send it directly by carrier pigeon.
——
The bird flew very fast, and Lilith, who was sitting at the base camp opposite, was also very efficient in her work. In less than two days, the human spellcaster was escorted over, accompanied by the fourth-level elf mage named
Braun.
Of course Tang Zhao was very surprised. After all, this must be a big help to them. The highest level spell caster in Lu Fudou was only level 4. In terms of knowledge and the amount of magic he knew, short-lived humans would definitely not be able to compete with longevity.
An elf like this would go directly to Earl Lufford, who would receive him respectfully both emotionally and rationally.
Tang Zhao expressed concern about the situation on the front line. He was worried about whether it could survive without a high-level spellcaster, but Braun rebutted him firmly.
The coalition forces of the hobgoblins and gnolls became much more at ease after being repulsed once. In addition, the Dragon Blood Pass and the elves gradually freed up their hands and began to further dispatch troops. Without the intervention of demons, there would be no
No problem, not to mention that he left behind before leaving. There were a lot of little surprises outside the camp that he had prepared.
The situation on the front line is stable, which does not mean that Tang Zhao does not need help. On the contrary, he has stated in black and white in the letter that he needs mid-to-high-level spellcasters to assist him.
He also didn't expect the elf to be so generous this time. According to his idea, having a third-level mage would be a great honor. After all, the war ahead has not stopped yet.
It is said that when he heard that Tang Zhao was pursuing matters related to the demon scroll in the human city, he rushed over directly. Franken and Elena wanted to dissuade him, but they simply ordered Ke, who was stronger and more qualified than them, not to move.
Lawn.
Originally, he wanted the elf caster just for show, so that he could sneak into the black market to find scrolls. With the dual filters of caster and elf, it was more convenient to do many things in the human world.
Now that they have strong men with good strength, they may not be able to bring a decisive advantage on the battlefield with thousands of people, but they should be able to form a significant combat advantage over the people in the black market, and the plan can be adjusted appropriately.
Tang Zhao turned to look at the human spell caster. He was one of the keys to the next step.
[You have a task below. Even if you complete it, you will have made up for it. I will not pursue your previous attempts to rob or even kill me. I swear in the name of the Dragon God and ancestors. How about this? 】
The human spell caster smiled bitterly: "Do I have any other choice?"
[Hasn’t the temporary court of Karak Solma pronounced its verdict? Fifty years of mining or fifty front-line death squad battles. In comparison, the task of finding things is still very easy. I sincerely recommend you choose this. 】
The so-called temporary courts are more of a gimmick. Reasonable and comprehensive laws are of course necessary, but at present, their number and level of development are not enough to support such advanced and comprehensive laws, and they lack relevant talents. The law is not just a slap on the head. , or things that can be solved mechanically, Tang Zhao believed that he did not have the ability, so he simply put it aside for the time being. Each race used its own original set of rules, and made do with it first, and then made changes when it came back.
For these foreign humans, we basically follow the words of Tang Zhao. After all, the foreigners who enter the "court" now can be killed on the spot by other races. The so-called court is completely irrelevant to them. It's just a formality.
Sighing helplessly again, the human spellcaster said: "Well, I'll choose the first one. Thank you for your magnanimity."
This is not a yin and yang thing, he doesn't have the guts - the devil's scroll can indeed bring about a slight increase in strength in the short term, but it will also gradually erode a person's spirit. He will prompt the holder to kill, so in the short term It can indeed bring further increase, and the scroll will eventually be activated, and the blood-eating demon will be summoned by the magic circle contained in the scroll. At that time, it is basically the death of the scroll holder, unless the demon can be on him. I found something that could be used, but it was nothing more than delayed death.
If you are not strong enough, making a deal with a demon or devil is asking for death, and will also involve other people. Everyone knows that devils are treacherous and insidious, and devils are bloody and violent, but there are always people who underestimate the devil's IQ and think that they can be superior to many low-level devils. , but in fact, the vast majority of spell casters cannot even resist the erosion of the weak Quasai Demon. Even fourth-level spell casters have examples of falling into the hands of the Quasai Demon. Even weaker spell casters have been in contact with the demon for a long time. It's almost inevitable to be affected by it, it's just a matter of degree.
Looking back now, he was sure that he had been tricked at that time. Soon, sooner or later, he would really summon the devil, and he would definitely be dead by then.
From this point of view, although it was definitely not intentional, Tang Zhao did save his life.
What Tang Zhao asked him to do was simple - use his connections in Luford to help Tang Zhao and Crowen recover enough demon scrolls. He was not a native of Luford, but he had lived there for several years. As a third-level mage , he is fully qualified to be a guest of many small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, and he does have connections in some places. With the help of these connections, Tang Zhao can achieve his goals faster.
Anyway, Tang Zhao has no fundamental conflict of interest with this human being. If the reward is suitable, he doesn't mind letting the other person off at all. But in the process of searching for the scroll, Tang Zhao has to be careful. If the other person can be hit once, he will be able to do it.
If he was tricked for the second time, Tang Zhao would not underestimate his opponent, nor would he overestimate an unfamiliar partner.
