Compared with ten years ago, Overwatch City has changed drastically.
In the martial arts academy adjacent to the four castles, the shouts of humans and kobolds could be heard from time to time.
There are rows of stone houses around, most of which are residences, but there are also business premises such as blacksmith shops, taverns, and even grocery stores. Not only businessmen and professionals, but also women come and go here from time to time.
Although it is still a bit crude overall, it also brings a bit of life to this underground city.
Of course, if you continue to go outside, you will inevitably find layers of defense facilities with guards stationed and patrolling.
"Lord Isaac!" "Lord Isaac!"
When Isaac entered the meeting hall, the senators who had already been seated stood up one after another.
For most human beings, ten years is already a long time.
Many elders have gray hair and many wrinkles on their faces.
However, although their years are passing by, they also have some momentum that they did not have back then, a momentum that comes from wealth and power!
Looking around and nodding to these old friends, Isaac sat on his huge throne.
"What happened? Where is old Bruno?"
As he was promoted to level 5 mage, during this period of time, he was learning and preparing level 3 spells, while also preparing for the upcoming growth period.
Regarding the research and reverse experiments of the "Interference Principle", he paid special attention to this growth period, so much so that he rarely even came to the underground city. If his loyal servant hadn't urgently summoned him, he would have even stayed in his house for a whole time.
year of preparation.
However, since it was an urgent summons, there must be something important that required him to appear in person before he could make a decision.
Suppressing the impatience in his heart, he finally left the nest.
While asking about things, Isaac looked towards a certain seat of elders.
This was the only elder who was absent. In his seat sat a brown-haired woman in her thirties or forties, and beside her was a boy of about ten years old.
I don't know the woman, but Isaac knows the boy.
This is the only son of Bruno the Elder, one of the elders. He should be called Little Grayhart. He was brought to the Martial Arts Academy by Bruno the Elder to practice swordsmanship since he was a child. It can be said that he is a typical academic.
"Lord City Lord, please consider that Bruno has followed you for many years and can save our orphans and widows. We..." The woman's face was full of tears, her voice was choked, and it was difficult to continue speaking.
Little Grayhart pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and looked expectantly at the giant dragon above.
This made Isaac wrinkle his eyes.
Orphans and widows?
However, old Bruno is not following him, we are just independent allies.
Isaac glanced at Green.
Green nodded slightly and stood up: "Mrs. Miranda's condolences, let me express my condolences. I try to be as fair as possible, but this does not represent my position. If there is anything wrong, you can point it out.
.”
Everyone nodded silently.
Then Green looked at the green dragon: "Sir, you also know that our immediate direction is to open the gate of Shanatar, hoping to reach a peace agreement with the shield dwarves there, so everyone's attention is also focused on it.
In the Underdark.
Old Bruno did not join this operation. We later learned that he was eyeing an equipment trading channel in the northern city of Adjoburg, trying to replace a family named "Dandong".
But there was a problem with his information. When he was attacking the Dandong family, the Kelburn family of the northern business group suddenly got involved. The elites of the Bruno family were wiped out in a single battle, leaving only Mrs. Miranda and a few cronies to escape.
here.
Now the Kelburn family has issued a pursuit order against the entire Bruno family through the Northern Business Group.
Our news is that the Dandong family is a secret branch of the Kelben family.
The Kelburn family is one of the founders of the northern business group, and directly controls a port city called Kaitons..."
Isaac's eyes couldn't help but look weird. So, he wanted to swallow someone else, but he didn't see that the one connected to someone else by a tail was a dire shark!
No wonder the atmosphere is so deep.
Although the alliance has developed rapidly, after all, in just over ten years, it is still far from the same level as the real bosses of the northern business group.
"So, what do you mean?" Isaac looked at everyone, and when he saw little Gray Hart, he nodded slightly.
"It depends on your wishes."
"The relationship between old Bruno and us, if possible, we naturally hope to keep Mrs. Miranda and Gray Hart, but with the channels of the Kelburn family, we may not be able to hide it from them here."
"Many of our intelligence channels are borrowed from information from the Northern Business Group. The affairs of the Bruno family may not only affect him, but may also affect most of us."
"The most important thing is that old Bruno did something wrong. We can't even come up with a reason to stand up and face the Kelburn family."
Most people shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
They are all from the northern business group, and they all know how powerful the Kelburn family is, not to mention that old Bruno took the initiative to get involved in this matter.
"Do you still remember the oath we made when we founded the alliance?"
Isaac raised his gaze, took a deep look at everyone, and said directly without waiting for their reply: "I once said that our cooperation is independent of each other, united with each other, and helps each other. This is exactly what
The purpose of our association's existence.
Old Bruno did something wrong, but this was to the outside world.
Externally, whether he is wrong or right, he is one of us.
With the purpose of unity and mutual assistance, when one party is in trouble, everyone should help each other.
Therefore, of course we want to help the relatives. We not only want to protect Mrs. Miranda and Gray Hart, but also make the Bruno family grow stronger again.
As for the threat from the Kelburn family, at least in my Rift Mountain Range, they can't get in yet."
Ten years of accumulation.
The number of dragon-formed kobolds under his command has reached 3,000, and a considerable part of them are also employed as rogues. Among them, there are nearly fifty dragon-veined kobolds, and eleven have awakened the warlock ability.
The green dragon beast also gave birth to thirteen heads. Under the action of the magic promoting element, the life energy level of the eldest and the second child has reached the level of young green dragons, and the poisonous breath is no worse than that of real green dragon babies.
Where to go.
Plus his dragon fly army.
Most importantly, he himself is already approaching the next age group.
Once the transformation is completed, just looking at the life energy level, he will even be at the legendary level!
A crack mountain range is no longer enough to satisfy his appetite!
"Grayhardt, please thank the Lord of the City. Sir Isaac, your kindness to us, mother and son, and our Bruno family will always be recorded in the genealogy." The sigh on Miranda's face suddenly disappeared, and she looked like she was crying with joy.
Holding the child in hand, he quickly bowed to the green dragon and thanked him.
"Your Excellency has made a decision, and we will abide by it. However, for the time being, the Bruno family is still not suitable to leave the underground city. We will each do our part to support Madam in restoring trade with Dugas."
"With the business group, we will try our best to see if we can slowly calm things down."
With Isaac's statement, I feel that the Green Dragon can support this kind of thing without hesitation, which also greatly eases the hearts of many people.
Calculating the losses that might occur outside, these elders, despite being in a difficult situation, still each tried their best.
No matter how difficult it is, it won't be more difficult than before the establishment of the coalition, especially the growth of this adult's strength is visible to the naked eye.
"One more thing." Isaac added, "Originally I didn't care about the intelligence agency, but old Bruno's incident also gave us a warning. After all, the northern business group does not belong to us. The intelligence we can get is all from someone
It was released after some people saw it.
Miriam, you should consider rebuilding a network that is only under our own control based on the current situation. I will give you enough support."
Discussion of some things.
After urging the slaves to be more vigilant, Isaac also returned to his lair.
But before he could resume his magic research, a loyal servant summoned him and asked to see him.
