All-Professional Master of Darkness

"My Lord the Divine Benefactor, Lord Graz, I am honored to be honored by both of you. Gross gave a standard aristocratic salute without being humble or overbearing.

Lan Wu and Graz looked at each other in unison. They all heard a hint of anger in Gross's tone. The two of them immediately bowed together.

The three of them went up to the second floor. Glasgow and several barbarians who were drinking heavily stood up immediately and blocked the stairs. Seeing these sturdy barbarians, the other professionals looked sideways and started talking among themselves.

"I extend an invitation to you on behalf of His Majesty Jehain." As soon as Gross took his seat, he went straight to the point and stated his intention.

"What invitation?" Lan Wu's heart moved.

Gross fell silent. The second floor has been cleared, leaving only their table. The entire second floor was empty. It was no longer noisy as before. It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Sorry, it's a relic."

Jehein's tired sigh vaguely echoed in his mind, and the anger that Gross had finally suppressed burst out again. His friend's words were clearly heard when the two were having a secret conversation. As a result, major families joined forces to put pressure on His Majesty.

Ancient ruins, ruins of Nifl. This famous alchemist of the Horadrim is as famous as Tarasha, the legendary mage who sealed Baal with his body, and the relics he left behind must be something extraordinary. Even comparable to the seven ancient tombs hidden in Warlock's Canyon.

Lu Gaoyin rose to power through the seven ancient tombs of Tarasha. Uncovering the ruins of Nifl will definitely make Lugoin stronger. If it were in the past, His Majesty Jehain would definitely be asked to devour this ancient ruins for himself.

But now, he would rather trade this precious relic in exchange for Lan Wu's friendship.

After all, the treasures contained in a ruins are limited. But a flourishing Rogge camp is an immeasurable rare treasure.

Camp Rogge is located in the isolated Tristram and has an unparalleled solid rear. A peaceful environment for civilians is far more important than an ancient ruin.

Population is the most critical factor in determining a stronghold.

With Tristram as a solid rear, the Rogge camp can develop with peace of mind. In a few decades, Camp Rogue would swell to appalling proportions. Civilians are no longer threatened by demons, which is the best way to attract the population. At that time, all the Rogge camp needs to do is tick their little fingers, and there will definitely be countless civilians rushing to join. With a large population base, the number of emerging professionals will also expand to a terrifying number.

The reason why Lu Gaoyin was able to catch up with the Kurast seaport was not only due to the discovery of seven ancient tombs of Tarasha, but the most important factor was that Lu Gaoyin had a population of hundreds of thousands. The huge population base has given Lu Gaoyin a high birth rate of professionals, and coupled with the many ancient relics in Tarasha's ancient tomb, Lu Gaoyin has become what it is today.

But all of this has now become a sandcastle on the beach, which only needs a small wave to break down. This small wave is today's Rogge Camp.

"Why don't you firmly support me?" Gross felt heartbroken, and a touch of sadness quietly filled his heart. The future he vaguely saw after being eroded by Rodament's power was difficult for him to accept.

He could understand the pressure on Jehain. But he couldn't understand that his once far-sighted confidant could not see the facts before him. If he misses this opportunity to turn enemies into friends with Rogge’s camp, all Lu Gaoyin will be left with is illusory prosperity.

"Family..." Gross's eyes sharpened suddenly, and the black patterns under his skin that had not completely faded suddenly disappeared. The right hand placed under the table was clenched tightly, and the nails were dug into the palm of the hand.

"Ahem." Lan Wu coughed twice before getting an answer from Gross.

The coughing woke Gross up. He was shocked and quickly explained apologetically: "Sorry, I couldn't understand your Majesty's order and was distracted for a moment."

Lan Wu smiled and said noncommittally: "Did you just say that His Majesty Jie Hain invited me?"

Gross took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and lowered his voice: "His Majesty Jehain recently obtained a map. Due to the friendship between Lu Gaoyin and Rogge Camp, His Majesty would like to invite you to participate in a relic excavation."

Before he finished speaking, Lan Wu raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Gross invited him to the tavern to discuss this matter. He was silent for a moment and looked up at Graz. The latter is also somewhat unbelievable.

Everyone knows what a relic means. But if it fell into the hands of Jie Hain, would he take the initiative to give it to an outsider like Lan Wu?

Graz felt like he didn't have enough brains. The excavation of the ruins that Gross mentioned is probably the unconfirmed news currently circulating among Lu Gaoyin's senior officials.

I thought that if I wanted to get a share of the ruins of Nifl, I could only rely on the outsider Lan Wu. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this situation in the blink of an eye. I also want the ruins of Nifl. But would Jie Hain be so generous and allow himself to participate again?

Lan Wu saw the confusion in Graz's eyes. My mind became more active. He didn't have much need for the relics of Nifl. A book of town teleportation, a Horadric cube, and then gone.

The book of town teleportation is known as one of the two sacred books for beginners, and its functions are very powerful. This is inevitable, even if it means falling out with the entire Lu Gaoyin. The Horadric Cube, which brings together the most exquisite knowledge of the Horadrim clan, is also a must-have prop.

To defeat monsters in this world, you don’t explode potions, gems, or runes. Only equipment and gold coins are exploded. Not to mention gems and runes. Currently, Camp Rogge can only prepare minor healing potions. Lu Gaoyin did have light healing potions and a small amount of healing potions for sale, but he hoped that Rogge Camp could become self-sufficient and no longer rely on external supplies. The Horadric Cube, the pinnacle product of alchemy, is an indispensable rare prop.

Apart from these two ancient props, nothing else matters. But in the face of this unique ancient item, would Jehein or Lu Gaoyin agree to give up this strategic level magic item?

The answer is obviously no.

After thousands of years of development, Lu Gaoyin relied on solid city walls and an endless stream of professionals and mercenaries to resist demons, and the results were very impressive. Now that the city guards, who are ordinary people, have the strength to at least reach the level of mercenaries, Lu Gaoyin has the confidence to challenge Kurast Seaport and compete for the reputation of the third largest human stronghold.

In today's world, reputation means intangible wealth, which is enough to attract more civilians to seek refuge. This is the obvious benefit. How could Lu Gaoyin cede such a huge benefit to the Rogge camp?

The more Lan Wu thought about it, the more serious his expression became. Lu Gaoyin now clearly has an absolute advantage. There is strength in numbers and strength is difficult to match. Although I have the Rhodament plug-in, if I want to fight against the entire Lugaoin alone and grab the Book of Town Teleportation and the Horadric Cube, that can only be realized in a dream.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lan Wu gathered his thoughts, looked into Gross's eyes and asked: "The remains of Nifl?"

Gross smiled and did not deny: "Yes, the relics left by Nifl, the most outstanding alchemist of the Horadrim clan. Your Majesty knows that there are some misunderstandings between Lu Gaoyin and Rogge's camp, and hopes that through this cooperation Discover and restore the friendship between the two parties. Rogge Camp will share 10% of the harvest. Of course, as the special envoy of Rogge Camp, His Majesty allows you to choose a magic item first."

Hearing this, Graz's face changed slightly. Rogge’s camp received 10% of the harvest for nothing, and this gift was heavy enough. The focus of Gross' remarks is obviously the last sentence.

Pick first, this condition is enough to make anyone crazy. As the most outstanding alchemist of the Horadrim clan, Nefer, what kind of garbage could exist in the ruins? The answer is obviously impossible. Any prop is priceless. This gift is not a small one.

Does Jehein value this divine benefactor so much?

"Lord Glaize, if you are willing to send mercenaries to accompany you, Your Majesty will also allow the mercenary union to share half of it." Gross turned to Glaze.

"It's a deal." Glaze frowned and readily agreed. Half of the harvest from a ruin is enough for the mercenary union to continue to exist. Instead of coveting more, it is better to take your share honestly.

"Choose one first?" Lan Wu looked at Gross playfully.

"This is your Majesty's intention." Gross shrugged and said frankly: "If it were me, I would give you the entire ruins."

When Graz heard this, his eyebrows jumped sharply. This news was too shocking to accept. Can one person swallow the entire ruins?

Not only Graz, but Lan Wu was also shocked. He looked at Gross up and down as if he were looking at a stranger, and he maliciously wondered whether the Lu Gaoin in front of him was a devil pretending to be a demon, and he actually said such a sentence.

Is this still the same arrogant and conceited Gross?

Lan Wu laughed dumbly and asked: "Are you willing to give me the entire ruins?"

Gross shrugged indifferently: "If I hadn't found that map, this ruin would only belong to you."

Hearing such a sentence, Lan Wu raised his eyebrows and couldn't believe it. He had been careful enough to conceal his purpose, and had taken every step, giving up searching for clues, and risking the contract with Rodament, in order to avoid attracting the attention of Lu Gaoyin as much as possible. Unexpectedly, Gross not only found clues, but also guessed his ultimate goal.

"It's not easy." Lan Wu sighed with emotion. After all, there are still many smart people.

"I will personally invite you on the day of departure. Now please allow me to show you our unique delicacies in Lugaoyin." Gross suddenly smiled and raised his hand to clap.

A team of maids in cool clothes came up and soon filled a table full of desert-style delicacies. Then another group of enchanting dancers came over and began a seductive dance that made people's blood boil.

Lan Wu smiled and simply put aside his distracting thoughts and enjoyed this desert-style meal wholeheartedly.
