Casting spells

17th Chapter [-] Proxy

kneel?

Kerwin Oren had never kneeled before anyone since taking the title.

He couldn't believe that an apprentice who was not worthy of appearing in the lord's mansion before was actually arrogantly asking himself to kneel down at this moment.

shame!

anger!

There is still such a trace of shame!

Alans undoubtedly sensed the complex emotions revealed in the other party's eyes, raised his chin slightly, and said in a condescending tone: "Why, do you think the noble Oren family is going to kneel in front of me, the humble son of a merchant, and let you Do you feel humiliated? Or do you think your master is unworthy of making you kneel and submit?"

"Can you represent the owner of the tower?" Kerwin asked back, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Of course! I am currently the only trusted servant of the master. You may not know it? The three people who came here as representatives of the Spellcasters Guild have actually sworn allegiance to the master. Thanks to the false information they spread, Only then can you and your idiots work so hard to come here and provide enough material for a great experiment."

While saying these words, the young man subconsciously pursed his lips, revealing an undisguised mockery.

Although so far, he still doesn't know what Zhang Cheng's plan is, what is the so-called "great experiment".

But this does not prevent him from showing a strong sense of superiority in front of outsiders.

As a saying goes, behind the ultimate arrogance, there is often the ultimate low self-esteem.

Alans, who came from a humble background, subconsciously desires respect and even awe more than anyone else, so after suddenly gaining powerful magical power, he will inevitably show his arrogant side.

In fact, except for Zhang Cheng, he didn't put anyone else in his eyes at all.

"What?! Your consciousness is...Isolt is a traitor!" The lord's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

But when you calm down and think about it carefully, it's actually not that surprising.

After all, judging from what happened not long ago, Isolt obviously lied in terms of intelligence, not only lied, but also deliberately instigated the greed of the nobles in the city.

"A traitor? No, no, no, they just made the right choice. As I said just now, the power of the master is far beyond your imagination, and the power he possesses is even enough to surpass the gods. Come on, kneel down, Let me see your reverence and obedience to the master, otherwise I guarantee that none of you can leave alive." Aarons meaningfully issued an ultimatum.

As he spoke, tens of millions of monsters slowly left the cover of the woods and shadows, and stood in the sun, densely packed and endless.

Such an astonishing number, not to mention the private army of a small border town, even the elite guards directly under the royal family could not help but tremble all over.

"You must let me do this?" Kerwin, who had long been a polished commander, revealed a flame of anger in his pupils.

Allens nodded without thinking: "Of course! The master only needs loyal and useful servants. If you can't do this, I don't mind killing you all."

"Okay! I kneel!"

Resisting the strong sense of humiliation that cannot be described in words, Kerwin finally bent his knees, and knelt in front of the merchant's son under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

quiet!

Incredibly quiet!

Even the mercenaries who forced him to stand up and take responsibility for the failure were stunned!

But Allens just showed a satisfied smile: "Very good! Get up! Then throw away the weapon in your hand and follow me closely. I will take you to see the master now."

The voice just fell!

Suddenly he raised his right hand and started chanting a spell aloud!

In the blink of an eye, a short-distance portal appeared out of thin air, and then quickly disappeared.

The moment the portal closed, the two parties had already disappeared without a trace.

Except for the endless monsters surrounding it, everything just seemed as if it never happened.

……

Accompanied by a strong squeeze and dizziness, Kerwin, who had briefly entered a state of weightlessness, fell to the ground with a plop as soon as his feet landed on the ground, covering his mouth and trying desperately to prevent the contents of his stomach from gushing out of his throat.

Because he had already seen not far ahead, a handsome young man sitting on a throne studded with gold, silver and jewels, looking down at him from above.

"Master, this is Kerwin Oren, the lord of the small border town. He said that he wants to talk to you face to face." The young man bent down and reported respectfully.

"Lord? What a familiar word. Then tell me, dear Lord Kerwin, what do you want to say to me?" Zhang Cheng tapped the handrail lightly, with a casual smile on his face.

To be honest, after the scuffle not long ago, he has obtained a lot of detailed data he wanted, and he is in a pretty good mood right now.

Otherwise, he wouldn't waste time talking to the guy in front of him, but would let the monsters swarm up and slaughter all the intruders in order to get more data.

"Dear Tower Master, I am sorry that I became greedy and wanted to rob you of your wealth and treasures. I am willing to pay enough for this in exchange for your forgiveness and kindness." Kerwin raised his head cautiously. suggested.

"The price? Hahahaha!" Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud, and then pointed to the incomparably luxurious layout in the room and asked, "Look at these treasures that are priceless to you, what price do you think you have to pay to calm down?" My anger?"

"I...I...I..."

After saying three "I" words in a row, Kerwin quickly looked down like a defeated rooster, lowered his head and sighed helplessly: "You're right, I can't afford the price."

"Yes, you can't afford it. But I have an alternative here. I don't know if you are interested?" Zhang Cheng crossed his hands and dragged his chin, leaning forward slightly, his eyes revealed undisguised banter and Playful.

"What alternative?" Kerwin hurriedly grabbed the last straw.

"It's easy! Be a pawn in my grand plan. You know? I've been looking for a proxy to start a war on my behalf, a war that's sweeping the world. I'm sure you've seen those me outside A monster made by your own hands. Think about it, if there are 100 or [-] million monsters that obey orders [-]%, wouldn't you be able to defeat all enemies, conquer large tracts of rich land, and even build an incomparably huge empire? ?”

Zhang Cheng's voice was like a devil, exuding an unparalleled allure.

Chapter 48 The Temptation of Evil

"You want me to make an enemy of the whole world?" Kerwin's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Even in his dreams, he couldn't believe that this mysterious guy in front of him actually had such an arrogant and terrifying idea.

Zhang Cheng spread his hands with a smile that was not a smile: "Why not? Think about it, when will those kings and dukes who are used to being superior will take a country noble like you living in a remote area in their eyes. Probably in their In my eyes, you are just an insignificant watchdog, used to defend the boundaries of the civilized world and resist the invasion of wild lands. Don't tell me, there is nothing deep in your heart to knock them to the ground and trample on them. The urge to step up."

"Are you crazy? This kind of thing is impossible to succeed!" Kerwin couldn't help retorting loudly.

As a lord, he may not be the smartest or cunning, but he must be the one who knows how to judge the situation the most, so he is very clear about the difference between his territory and the income of those lords in rich areas.

And income means stronger strength, you can recruit elite soldiers with warrior level to form an army, and attract a large number of spellcasters to work for you.

As the so-called powerful army is, without exception, it is piled up with a large number of gold coins.

Under such a large economic gap, trying to make up the gap through quantity is simply a dream.

After all, Kerwin had seen with his own eyes the bloody scene where thousands of barbarians living in the depths of the swamp attacked the border fortress, only to be brutally slaughtered by a defender of less than 3000 people.
