Chapter 858
Chapter 855 There are no eternal enemies, only etern
In fact, Hojehana had carefully analyzed Henry’s behavior and character through intelligence when he came, and finally came to a conclusion.
That is the cruel and ambitious young man in front of him. This can be seen from the trajectory of his rise, especially since last year when Alando’s prophecy began to be fulfilled, whether it was the reshuffle of the rights of Baldur’s Gate or The turmoil in South Amn is all inextricably linked to it.
More importantly, this person likes to prepare many hands in advance no matter what he does, and he is very good at using the chaotic situation to deceive the enemy. Ghost City has suffered from this loss and was severely overcast at the beginning. For one, various simple layouts are highly targeted.
But none of the above is what Hojehana valued most. What he valued most was the destruction and madness that Henry showed when he threatened Terramant.
A capable, ambitious, controlling, paranoid, and aggressive lunatic, this is the result of the analysis by the rulers of the ghost city, but this lunatic is usually very sensible, whether it is planning or acting style. Quite organized.
It is precisely because of this that Hojehana tried to use the conquest of Faerun as a bait, but he had obviously failed. Henry did not show even the slightest interest in this, and even regarded it as an insult to his IQ. .
Blurred!
This is what Hojhanna thinks now.
After much consideration, he finally decided that he would give up continuing the trial, and it would be better to get straight to the point and make his intentions clear.
“You should know that Ghost City lost a large number of people in this battle. The High City Lord wants to use your power to get some pure blood Netheril remnants in Harua. For this he is willing to pay you some Precious magical information. Besides, he would like to know if you are interested in giving up prejudices and entering into a covenant that is beneficial to us each other?”
“Haha, it’s really interesting, doesn’t Telamante know that I have a nervous relationship with a certain goddess? Isn’t he afraid that Revalan will cause civil strife in Ghost City?” Henry asked with a playful smile.
Due to a certain prophecy, most of the people in Ghost City believe that only under the protection of Shar can they return to the main plane. Rebuild Netheril’s splendor, so the goddess’ church is so powerful that even Terramant dare not easily refuse Shar’s request.
But now the number two character in Ghost City actually said that he wants to form an alliance with him, does the sun have to come out from the west?
Hojehana didn’t give any explanation, but just whispered: “The Ghost City is the ghost city of the Netherites, neither of some careerists, nor of a certain goddess. Not to mention Reva. Lan has been punished. Not only has he permanently lost an arm, but he has also just been deprived of the title of prince.”
Hearing these words, Henry’s eyes lit up and he leaned forward slightly, staring into each other’s eyes. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly upwards: “So that’s it, Ghost City has always been playing a game of power. It seems that Terramante’s ambition is not small…”
“Today’s enemy may be tomorrow’s ally. In this world, nothing is eternal except for benefits. The High City Lord’s wish is to revive Netheril. If Ghost City returns to the main plane. The main sphere of influence will be controlled by Ennook. In the desert, I believe this will not conflict with your country. How about it. If I agree, I can send some free news about the Son of Bar…”
Seeing that Henry finally had some reaction, Hogehanna hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot, and even moved out the proverbs of Faerun mainland as a reason for persuasion.
He is well aware of his responsibilities this time. On the one hand, it is to replenish the population, and on the other hand, to use the other party to make trouble for the goddess Shar, so that Terramante can seize the time to integrate his strength and regain control of the situation.
Henry saw through Hojehana’s plan at a glance, but considering that fighting Shar’s control of the Ghost City is tantamount to helping himself, so he nodded without hesitation: “Sounds good, we can talk about it now. Talk about specific conditions, such as how much population Telamante wants to supplement, and what obligations need to be fulfilled after the alliance.”
“Ten thousand people, no old people, no young children, only teenagers between the ages of twelve and twenty-five. As for the formation of an alliance, there is no obligation to perform, and it is enough to exchange all information with each other regularly. Of course, if you have something wrong It is convenient to go out in person to face the enemy who paid, and you can tell us that the Supreme City Lord is happy to help you solve it.” After saying this, Hojehana stood motionless, waiting for a reply quietly.
“Ten thousand people are too much, I can only get five thousand at most, and it will take at least half a year. This is nothing to talk about. If you can do it, you can pull it down. In addition, there is no need for alliances. Anyway, the relationship between us is each other. Utilization, sooner or later, we will turn our faces. Occasionally cooperation is fine, but we must draw a clear line.”
Henry was not confused by the pie drawn, and he refused most of the other party’s requests without hesitation.
joke!
After struggling to calculate layer by layer, slaughtered most of the residents of Ghost City, and destroyed the pride and confidence of the other party, but finally they have to make up the population for the other party?
He is not stupid!
As for the alliance, it is definitely a big pit. Let’s not talk about the hatred of Telamante after this incident. The two sides only represent the old magic civilization and the other represents the new magic civilization. In essence, it is basically incompatible with fire and water. Sooner or later. There must be a winner.
What’s more, due to the relationship of summoning the dead moon, many good powers have regarded Ghost City as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Alliance with them is simply to make enemies for themselves, but anyone with a bit of intelligence will not agree.
Hojehana heard Absolutely from Henry’s tone. Knowing that there was no room for bargaining on this matter, he only nodded helplessly: “Yes, but the speed must be faster, preferably within four months. Resolve within.”
“Yes, four months later, let the Telamante send the Baldur Gate to mention someone. Now you should tell me the news of the Son of Barr.” He said that Henry folded his arms around his chest and made a look of listening.
“Wilcon, a son of Baal who has awakened his teleportation ability. He was originally just a timid thief. But under the cultivation of a certain goddess, he quickly became dangerous. If you want to ensure that your investment can be obtained In return. Then it’s best to find him out as soon as possible, otherwise the ending may not be so good.” Hojehana said meaningfully.
Obviously, it is no secret that Henry is intervening to kill the throne, in the eyes of many people, especially Wywood City has begun to publicly worship this demigod, fools can see his attitude.
As Ghost City, which had sent a large number of spies, naturally knew the news, so Hojehana would use this as a bargaining chip.
For the second character in Ghost City, it is not difficult to get some secrets from Revalan. After all, they are political enemies and know each other very well.
“Wellcome?”
Henry frowned and murmured. He always felt that the name was a bit familiar, but he couldn’t remember it for a while.
“Yes, he just called that name. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first. The High City Lord is still waiting for my reply.” Hojehana stood up and started to use teleportation magic soon.
At the moment when the transmission is about to start. Henry suddenly stretched out his finger and tapped it gently, disturbing the spell that was about to be completed, and then asked with a sneer: “Don’t rush away, do you really owe me something? For example, the race of the lady in the coffin? And identity, and the means of control.”
“Ah! Damn! You see, I almost forgot.” Hojhanna patted his forehead lightly, pretending to be careless. He took out an exquisite music box from his pocket. “Yes, this music box is the secret to controlling the oriole. As long as you listen to her tunes, the evil side will awaken, as long as you smash it. Then the innocent and good side will awaken.”
After checking the music box carefully and confirming that it has not been manipulated. Henry nodded in satisfaction: “Very well, now tell me her race and identity.”
“The descendants of the demon prince Demo Kogan and his predecessor, Sami Amor, have a very special dual soul, and will never age and die. But what is strange is that she did not show As long as you use the music box to wake her up with any devil’s characteristics, she will obey your orders unconditionally. We only have so much information. In addition, the music box contains the most chaotic sounds from the depths of the universe. Be careful when playing it. , Ordinary people will go crazy to hear it.”
After finishing the explanation, Hojehana immediately activated the teleportation magic again, only to see a white light flashing, and he disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the music box in his hand, Henry crossed his mouth with an ironic smile, and muttered to himself: “It’s really interesting. The descendants of the demon prince and the demon lord do not show any characteristics of the abyss, and one of the souls is still kind. Yes, what’s the situation? A genetic mutation? Or was it modified by magic? Forget it, I’ll study it later, I’m out on vacation.”
“Roar! Roar!”
Ares, disguised as a panda, nodded his head in agreement.
In fact, this big brown bear is very happy to be able to travel with the owner, because Henry tricked him into tasting food in the south when he put on makeup As a standard foodie, he gave up without hesitation. With the dignity of being the king of beasts, it doesn’t matter as long as there is something delicious.
“Okay, okay, I’ll take this coffin away.” Henry smiled and patted the animal partner, and with a big wave of his hand, he transported the coffin back to the bottom of the Mage Tower on Angome Island, with his own clone. put it together.
Anyway, Hojehana said, Cynthia will neither age nor die, so it doesn’t matter if you put it aside for a while. After you come back from the busy schedule, you can slowly study the mystery hidden in the twin souls. You must know this kind of thing. Not coming.
After doing all of this, he quietly lay on the wooden bed in the cabin, using the ability of his face to deform at will, and directly processed some of his face, plus the decorative leather armor that basically has no defense on his body. A vivid image of an aristocratic teenager who is out and about.
“From now on, I am Bayis, and you and Ares have to change their name, just call Panpan.” Henry smiled and said to the big brown bear who had been humming in protest.
Of course, this name is also in a kind of ridicule and nasty fun… (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users Please go to read.)
