Headshot Wizard - Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Black Tower

Lance calmly took out a red crystal pendant and shook it in front of the lizardman.

The latter’s face changed immediately, showing a respectful look: “This is Lord Marlowe’s token? Who are you from Lord Marlowe?”

“Friend.” Lance said briefly: “Master Marlowe once said that if there is a need, I can ask you for some help.”

“This is okay.” The lizardman said quickly: “Come in first, I’ll go to Master Van Daner.”

After that, he opened the side door and let Lance and Bonnie in.

…

Half an hour later, in a dilapidated wooden house two blocks away from Windmill Lane.

“I’m sorry to only provide you with such a house.”

A tall lizardman turned around and slowly closed the patina-covered red iron door.

He handed over a bunch of keys to Lance: “But this is the only place in the entire River Lake Town that does not belong to our lizard people-and the actual control is under my hands.”

Lance took the key with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

This lizard man named Van Dan is much taller than the ordinary lizard man. Like Marlow, he is a lizard man witch doctor.

It’s just that Marlowe is a third-level caster, and Van Daner is only a second-level, and his magic level is comparable to that of Lance.

When the two sides met, each other had a certain degree of speculation about their respective strengths. I am afraid that this is also the reason for Van Daner’s incomparable enthusiasm for Lance.

But what makes Lance strange is that this guy is very enthusiastic about himself, but arranging such a house for himself is too…

“Let’s go inside and talk.”

Van Dan lowered his head and went up the stairs.

Lance and Bonnie are close behind.

Compared with the messy environment on the first floor, the second floor is much more open and clean. All kinds of furniture are readily available, although they are a bit old, they are very clean.

Van Daner explained: “You live in this house with your maid, it will be very safe.”

“Maybe you don’t know very well. Hehu Town is not a place of order and stability. When the rule of day and night is reversed, everything will show its original shape.”

After all, he sat on the sofa in the living room and poured himself a glass of wine.

Judging from his gestures, this lizard man is very good at enjoying life.

He squinted his eyes and said, “If you are interested, I can introduce you to Hehu Town.”

“But I don’t have much time myself, at most an hour. Recently…it’s not peaceful!”

Lance nodded slightly, and sat down: “Then thank you Mr. Van Daner.”

…

River Lake Town, this magnificent city standing proudly beside the Baine River, is essentially a very chaotic place.

The three major forces divided up this place, but the chaos of war still fills every night—yes, it’s night, not day.

There was no such thing as night and day in the underground.

But in Hehu Town, the obelisk and the big clock on it separate the night from the day.

When the only pointer points to the white area, it is daytime at the surface time; when the pointer points to the black area, it is night.

The daytime in Hehu Town is full of order, and the night… is a paradise for killing!

“I don’t know when the rules have been handed down. In Hehu Town, there are two rules.” Van Dan explained lowly: “You are our lizard people’s distinguished guest, so I won’t hide it from you. Yes. You may be surprised, but this is the fact itself, please do not doubt our sincerity.”

“I understand.” Lance showed a sincere expression.

“That’s good.” Van Daner continued: “These two laws are the law of the sun and the law of night!”

“As the name suggests, the two laws of day and night correspond to the two moments of day and night respectively. The two laws are completely based on the big clock. Everyone in this city must abide by these two laws.”

“During the day, the law of the day must be obeyed-that is absolute order! No one can do anything in Hehu Town. Once someone violates it, it will be strangled by the three major forces! This is the iron that Hehu Town has stood for for thousands of years. Law! At night, it is the chaotic law of night—most of the land in Hehu Town has become a place where you can legally kill. Various hostile forces tend to guard against each other at this time, and some small things overnight It is also common for power to be strangled.”

“In this regard, the three major forces in River Lake Town-the dark elves, the gray dwarves, and the Holts-are completely neutral. In fact, even the three major forces, under the law of night, There will also be some friction. It’s just that they will be more restrained under the orders of their respective superiors.”

“So, you see that Hehu Town is so peaceful now, but it’s daytime, when the law of the day is enforced, no one dares to do anything.”

Van Dan’s explanation also let Lance and Bonnie understand the role of the big clock.

It’s no wonder that the underground city, known for its chaos, is so ethical. It turns out that this strange law is at work.

“Waiting for the hour hand to deviate from the white area and point to the pitch black is when all the blood and vendettas begin. At that time, except for a small part of the pure land, every inch of the corner of Hehu Town may break out! But two people Don’t worry, this house is very safe.”

“We lizard people are the fourth largest power in River Lake Town. Compared with the other three powers, it is far from it. After all, this city has been controlled by them for too long. If you want to continue to move up, you will offend The interests of certain people. And this period is actually very sensitive.”

Van Daner said with some anxiety: “The reason why I didn’t arrange the two on our site is for this reason. Because I don’t know what will happen when the night falls.”

Lance heard what he said meant something, and immediately asked: “What happened recently?”

Van Daner glanced at Lance, hesitated, and finally came out of the tray.

This is not the trust of Marlowe’s token, but the coveting of Lance’s strength. However, the lizardman was impeccable, he spoke the ins and outs of the matter very sincerely, and also told Lance directly what he thought, which greatly increased Lance’s favor with him.

At least this lizard man was not as hypocritical as the people he met.

…

It turned out that there was a small black lake in the east not far from Hehu Town. There is an island in the middle of the lake, and a tall tower stands on the island.

This building, called the “Black Tower” by the residents of Hehu Town, symbolizes the highest authority in Hehu Town.

The Black Tower Committee consists of twelve members, and each member comes from three major forces. Among them, there have always been four gray dwarves, four dark elves, and four Holt men.

The rest of the forces couldn’t get in at all.

The fate of Hehu Town is basically determined by the strong in the Black Tower.

“Each councillor probably has the power of a second-level spellcaster. Even the gray dwarves who have no talent for witchcraft, because they can use the power of talented runestones, they can also be rich in some powerful spellcasters.”

Van Daner calmly analyzed and said: “The high-end power of River Lake Town is almost the second-level high-level spellcaster; the third-level spellcaster basically left this land, I guess it is because there is a land on this land. This kind of magical power will produce resistance to high-level spellcasters-this should have something to do with a nearby dark secret. Anyway, the second-level spellcasters are the most powerful group of people in River Lake Town.”

“Dark Secret Realm?” Lance’s heart moved, could it be the secret realm made by the dark construct master William? This mystery is so powerful, can it still suppress high-level spellcasters in the nearby area?

However, he did not rush to ask, the dark secrets are too much involved, whether this lizardman is reliable or unreliable is a matter of two things.

“In fact, the strength of those parliamentarians is about the same as ours. The three major powers have been able to occupy twelve positions for so many years, relying on airtight management and arrangement. However, recently, it seems that the three major powers have caused trouble because of something. Small friction-one of the members of the Black Tower who originally belonged to the Holt people is dead!”

There was a frenzy in Van Dan’s eyes: “This is an opportunity!”

“Is there a vacancy for the councillors of the Black Tower?” Lance immediately understood the lizard man’s ambition.

Van Daner nodded: “Yes. There are only eleven councillors in the Black Tower right now-but that’s not the point. The point is because of that matter, the three major forces made a lot of trouble. Especially the Dark Elves and Huo. Among them, the two clansmen of the Black Elves have contacted me and said they would secretly support me as a member of the throne; the gray dwarves’ attitude is dispensable, and our lizard people’s only opponent is Huo Ult! I’m sorry, but now I’m in a hostile relationship with your compatriots. But I don’t think you would mind this, right?”

Lance nodded slightly. He was not a Holt originally, not to mention that the underground races are very affectionate to each other even among their compatriots. It is strange that he behaves too much on these things.

Van Daner smiled with satisfaction: “And even among the Holt people, there are all kinds of different voices. There seems to be traitors inside them, so they split into several pieces. Although they support them on the whole He’s in the top position, but the specific list has not yet been determined.”

“I checked, my biggest opponent is a second-level wizard of’Jonah’. He has a certain reputation among the Holts and is my strong enemy.”

“Before I let out the news to fight for the vacant seat of Senator. With the support and recognition of the Dark Elves, Jonah must have also received the news. For the Holts, this position is always occupied by them, thinking I’m afraid it is not reconciled to let it out.”

Lance squinted: “So tonight…?”
