Compared with the dull expression on his face, Duke fakurest was undoubtedly much calmer. He directly lowered his voice and asked the warlock next to him who was shrouded in cloak and hood: "what do you think, does the marez kenrito Council have the ability to build a city flying in the sky?"

"I don\'t know if the kenrito Council can build a city flying in the sky, but I can assure you that the mage didn\'t lie. Everything he said just now is true. It\'s unknown whether he got false news from others." the warlock drew his green hand into his sleeve and quickly gave his own judgment.

"Well, your suggestion is..."

"My suggestion is that no matter whether the city flying in the sky really exists or not, he must know a lot of secrets about Dalaran."

"I see."

Duke fakurest nodded thoughtfully and shouted directly at his bodyguard: "release the caravan and return all the goods to them, including arcane crystals."

"Yes, master." Otto showed perfect obedience as always.

Although he prefers to use extremely cruel methods to kill prisoners, as long as the order is given, he will immediately carry out it without hesitation.

In just a few minutes, old George and his daughter, as well as the surviving coachman of the caravan, were all released.

After recovering their freedom for the rest of their lives, they rushed right under the wooden house and sought refuge from Zhang Cheng.

Old George didn\'t even care to take over the goods on the carriage. He held a small box full of arcane crystals in one hand and held his daughter in the other hand. Ignoring the wound on his head, he bent down and bowed deeply: "thank you very much, master. I swear by my reputation and life that I will repay this kindness as long as I can reach Dalaran safely."

"You\'re welcome. I just did what I should do." Zhang Cheng smiled and waved his hand.

In fact, if the scroll had not given the task of "businessman\'s ambition", he would be too lazy to care about the life and death of a group of NPCs.

From the very beginning, he was very clear about his position. An outsider, whether it was a tribe and alliance, a greedy goblin merchant, or an evil organization like syndicate, who could bring benefits to himself, traded with who he could, or even cooperated with.

But old George didn\'t know this. He still saluted gratefully, and then carefully watched the syndicate bandits around the wooden house.

"Well, mage, I have met your requirements. Now please explain what\'s going on in this so-called floating city?" Duke fakurest urged impatiently.

You don\'t have to ask. The big moves of the mages made him a little nervous.

After all, anyone who thinks of a city floating in midair and can launch fierce attacks on ground targets at any time will not be in a good mood.

What\'s more, Dalaran ruins are located on the side of Lake lodamir and close to Hillsbrad hills. If syndicate wants to rebuild Auckland Kingdom, it is an impassable barrier.

In the heart of Duke fakurest, Dalaran had better maintain its current scale and state, not only has enough strength to block the expansion of the forgotten in the silver pine forest, but also has not much power to estimate others.

Zhang Cheng was keenly aware of the fleeting anxiety and irritability in each other\'s eyes, and comforted with a smile: "relax, there\'s no need to be so nervous. I didn\'t tell you that kenrito parliament has no time and energy to target you. To be exact, some heavyweight members of the Parliament are planning to let Dalaran leave the alliance and become a neutral organization."

"Break away from the alliance? Neutral?!" Duke fakurest keenly grasped two key points.

You should know that Dalaran has always been the most loyal ally and partner of the alliance since its establishment. If Dalaran withdraws from the alliance, it means that the strength of the alliance in the north of the eastern continent will be greatly weakened. As long as the three strongholds of torrent fort, refuge Valley and Nanhai town are won, syndicate can sweep the whole region and rebuild the kingdom of Alterac.

"Yes! So we are not enemies, not now and not in the future.

By the way, your means of making money by robbing passing caravans are too mean.

If I were you, I would take another way. For example, I would draw a one-time protection fee of 5% to 10% according to the value of the goods.

After all, even a fool knows that if there are too many murderers and robbers along the road, there will naturally be fewer businessmen. Fewer businessmen mean less income from robbery.

Conversely, if robbers no longer kill, but gain benefits in a win-win way, the number of businessmen will naturally increase.

The increase in the number of businessmen means that the income of robbers increases, forming a virtuous circle.

Of course, just collecting protection fees is not enough. It\'s best to be responsible for the safety of businessmen along the way.

In this way, syndicate will gradually change from a criminal organization to a service-oriented organization.

It will be of great help to your reputation and to the reconstruction of the kingdom of Alterac. "

Zhang Cheng, who claims to be a civilized man, really doesn\'t like the barbaric and cruel acts of the other party. He took the initiative to put forward a small suggestion.

He was a little confused. As the noble class of the former Alterac Kingdom, how could the high-level syndicate understand such a superficial truth and indulge in plundering wealth all day? Would long-term exile lead to collective intellectual degradation?

"Do you charge for protection..." Duke fakurest seemed to think of something. A strange smile appeared on his face, followed by a proposal immediately: "You are really interesting, young man. I now officially invite you to join the syndicate. As long as you can ensure your loyalty, I promise you will get everything you want here, strength, wealth, power, and beautiful and charming girls."

"Hehe, thank you for your kindness, but unfortunately, you can\'t give me what I want." Zhang Cheng kept smiling and remained unmoved.

Join a syndicate?

He wouldn\'t have made such a stupid choice as long as his mind hadn\'t been squeezed through the door!

Knowing the history of Azeroth, we all know how frustrated these guys are, tossing and turning, and they have never been able to rebuild the kingdom of Alterac.

Zhang Cheng doesn\'t want to disturb the history of Azeroth and attract the attention of the Bronze Dragon\'s gate, nor does he want to be the leader of robbers. He just comes to obtain a strength enough to protect himself, that\'s all.

"Don\'t rush to refuse, and then think more. We have plenty of time. Maybe you will change your mind when we meet next time." after that, Duke fakurest winked mysteriously, and then slowly disappeared at the end of the forest path with his men and prisoners
