"Are you sure you understand the responsibilities and obligations of followers?" Zhang Cheng ignored the eyes in the hall and asked with a smile.

Simon hesitated obviously. He nodded first, followed by shaking his head: "sorry, sir, I just know that the followers need to obey the master\'s orders and fight for the master. The rest is not very clear. But I promise I will do it without hesitation."

"Even killing civilians?" Zhang Cheng said meaningfully, staring at the young man\'s firm eyes.

"As long as it\'s your order!" Simon took a deep breath and gave the answer quickly.

His attitude is so firm that he seems to realize that even if he hesitates, he will lose the opportunity to change his fate.

"Very good! From today on, you will be my follower. Remember the promise made today and never disobey any of my orders, or you will get a punishment worse than death."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Cheng turned and smiled at old George with a slight apology: "sorry, old friend, I\'m afraid you have to hire another guard."

"Ha ha! It doesn\'t matter! Simon is a good young man. It\'s his luck to be your follower. Don\'t worry about people. When I get to storm City, I\'ll take the boat to Nanhai town directly. There\'s no need for escort." old George laughed happily and couldn\'t see the anger of being dug into the foot of the wall.

In any case, his current social status is just a businessman, and he can\'t get the loyalty of others like the nobility. Most of the so-called guards are hired and changed very frequently. There\'s no need to worry about this little thing.

"Storm city has a wharf? Why haven\'t I heard of it?" a surprised expression appeared on Zhang Cheng\'s face.

According to his memory, the storm City wharf was built only after the expedition to Nordson. At present, it is only a busy construction site, and no merchant ships are allowed to dock at all.

"Hey, there is indeed a dock, but ordinary people can\'t use it. I happen to know the dock officer very well, so he will open a convenient door at night and let me carry all the goods up." old George explained in a low voice with pride.

"Did you buy this official with money?" Zhang Cheng, who understood the inside story, joked in a semi joking tone.

As a saying goes, as long as human society still exists, corruption and abuse of power will never be eliminated, even in the fantasy world.

"Buy? No, no, no, in return, I will give him one tenth of the profit of goods every time I stop. To some extent, he is my important partner like you. After all, it is safer to take a boat than to take the subway to tielu fort and then cross the wetland. The transportation cost is higher, and it is right to pay some profit." Old George didn\'t mean to hide anything. He spoke out his relationship with the dock officer.

As the Black Dragon Princess Onyxia used the identity of Countess katlana Presto to help with political struggle all day, the nobles and officials in storm city were already full of all kinds of greedy people. As long as they could give enough interests, they dared to buy and sell military power, let alone make a little money by using the unfinished wharf.

"Interestingly, has the storm city been eroded to this extent? It seems that I don\'t have to worry about exposing the Warlock\'s ability..." Zhang Cheng flashed a hint of thought in his eyes, followed by standing up and walking to the place where he slept.

Simon got up quickly and followed closely. One by one, they disappeared into the innermost room at the end of the passage.

There is not much furniture and furnishings. There are only wooden beds made up of several templates, or even sheets and bedding. However, for travelers who live in the open air, this is a perfect place to rest. At least they can sleep until dawn without worrying about the sudden attack of wild animals and monsters.

The young man closed the door and carefully lay on the wooden bed closest to the door, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. As long as there was an abnormal noise, he would immediately jump up and get ready for battle.

It has to be said that although his combat effectiveness is not very good, his vigilance developed in the field for a long time is very good. He can win at least a few seconds of reaction time and is absolutely qualified as cannon fodder.

Zhang Cheng ignored Simon and took out a few crystal samples from his pocket more than half an hour ago to test the internal structure one by one and the continuous slight radiation.

But unfortunately, no matter what he did, the crystal shape was as stable as before, and was not moved at all. It was more difficult to deal with than silver and gold.

However, as he had expected, he was not discouraged at all, but became more energetic.

Because Zhang Cheng knows that these crystals are the products left over by Titan kazgros, and it is normal that they cannot be easily cracked.

When he was thinking hard about how to guide the energy in the crystal for research, a wisp of evil energy suddenly inadvertently flowed into the interior of a red crystal.

moment

The energy in the crystal seemed to drop into the oil pan of ice water and quickly began to boil!

A large number of subtle cracks appeared on the crystal surface, and finally cracked with a crack, releasing a bright flame.

But different from ordinary flames, this flame seems to contain extremely strong vitality.

Under its irradiation, Zhang Cheng can clearly feel that the shadow energy in his body is afraid and shrinking. He doesn\'t return to normal until the flame completely disappears, and his fatigue is swept away.

After experiencing the change just now, his eyes brightened slightly, quickly grabbed the crystals of other colors and injected evil energy. As a result, he got a result that was difficult to be confident.

That is, these crystals correspond to several attributes of life, nature, magic and earth.

Red represents the essential elements of life, green represents air and water, blue represents Azeroth\'s ubiquitous energy, and yellow represents the earth that breeds everything.

When all these add up, all kinds of life can be born.

It can even have a decisive impact on the evolution of life itself by regulating the radiation of these crystal energies.

For example, if a species is exposed to the radiation of red and yellow crystals for a long time, their body size will become larger and larger, and the cuticle and scales on the body surface will become thicker and thicker;

If it is the radiation of blue and green crystals, they will become particularly smart. Maybe they will get wonderful spell like abilities.

However, this influence takes hundreds of years, generations or even decades of continuous evolution.

For Zhang Cheng, it\'s too slow. He wants to find a way to change faster. It\'s best to take it like a magic potion, which can have an immediate effect
