In the cold and deep cave, torches were erected all around, crackling and burning, and the whole space was silent. The orcs stood in a row in front, with arrows stuck in their bodies because of the daytime battle. A bunch of ferocious wolf-toothed hammers, stained with red and white, were casually placed beside them.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Rufeng started coughing, and a bellows-like sound came out of his chest, echoing in the cold and lonely cave.

A zombie was commanded to come forward and pull out the arrow stuck in the zombie's body.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and several men in black rushed in.

Liu Rufeng was concentrating on repairing the gap on the zombie, without even turning his head, and said in a hoarse and low voice: "I knew you would come back!"

A steady and gloomy voice sounded: "You made such a big fuss, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Liu Rufeng leaned on a long stick, hunched over, and slowly turned around. Eight men in black stood in front of him, breathing steadily, with sharp eyes, each of them was a martial arts master. The leader was a middle-aged man, tall, with deep eyes and slightly gray temples.

"Duan, I hope you can figure out the relationship between us." Liu Rufeng's eyes were cold, and his hoarse and low voice echoed in the cave, "I am not your subordinate. Do I have to report to you if I do anything?"

Duan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were as dangerous as a venomous snake, "You caused me to lose 14 people!"

Liu Rufeng laughed and said, "It's just fourteen small chess pieces. You have plenty of chess pieces in your hand. You don't care about these."

Duan's eyes were calm, and he didn't look angry. He just said lightly: "I have funded you for many years without charge, and even helped you realize your dream. Shouldn't you consider my feelings?"

"Free funding? Tsk tsk... Do you really think of me as a three-year-old child?" Liu Rufeng's hoarse voice was like the low cry of a night owl, full of madness and disdain, "We are just using each other! You need my strength, I need your resources, I have my dreams, and you have your ambitions. We each achieve our own goals, that's all, isn't it?"

The cave was silent.

The charcoal was burning in the brazier.

The cave was still extremely cold.

Duan said lightly: "My years of disguise and hiding may be ruined in one day."

"Your style is impervious to leaks." Liu Rufeng seemed to be able to see through the other party's thoughts, "How can I rest assured to cooperate with you?"

The Du family has been hiding for many years.

Condensing a powerful force in secret!

Liu Rufeng is a chess piece, an extremely important chess piece. Duan needs to use Liu Rufeng's power to seize Baisong Town, so as to realize the first step of the plan. Liu Rufeng's dream is to build the town into an ideal death kingdom, and the two overlap.

However, Duan has been operating in secret.

If Liu Rufeng fails, Duan can completely cut off his relationship with Liu Rufeng, and then continue his normal life and look for other opportunities. Liu Rufeng is also a shrewd person. He will not allow this to happen, so he wants to tie Duan to the chariot.

Therefore, he cannot be allowed to retreat.

In this way, he can fully assist himself.

Although Liu Rufeng failed to assassinate Oscar, he deliberately left behind a crossbow and a long sword as clues. As long as the investigation continues, the factory where these weapons were made and the people who bought them will soon be involved, and eventually they will be traced back to Duan.

Duan's expression was uncertain, but he soon returned to normal. He suddenly chuckled and said, "Forget it. At this point, if they can really find me, what's the use? By the way, how are you prepared?"

"You just need to be responsible for secretly assisting, and the whole town will inevitably become a place of death!"

"Very good." Duan nodded with satisfaction, "I have informed the other side, and they will arrive in three days at most. They will use Baisong Town as a springboard to take Baicheng directly. Once Baicheng is captured, you will have no worries. As long as you capture Baisong Town, you will be the king here!"

Liu Rufeng's eyes showed fanaticism.

Duan also smiled, "Now let's talk about the details!"

The two people with their own ulterior motives put aside their prejudices and discussed the specific content of the plan again.

…

Baisong Town, inside the hotel.

Wang Jian talked about the past.

More than 20 years ago, Wang Jian, Lin Bairong, and Liu Rufeng grew up together.

The three families have been good friends since their fathers' generation. They are neighbors and playmates.

Liu Rufeng showed amazing talent in magic in his childhood, and his appearance was handsome and sunny. At that time, his family was relatively well-off, and he was definitely in the upper class of the town. Countless girls had a crush on him.

Wang Jian was much more ordinary. He was short and fat since he was a child, with an ordinary appearance, an ordinary family background, a weak and dull personality, and was bullied every day.

As a result, the two of them fell in love with the beautiful and lively Lin Bairong at the same time.

Liu Rufeng was very confident. With his handsome appearance and amazing talent, he did have the confidence. In fact, both parents agreed very much, and even arranged an engagement banquet for the two early on. If the two of them could be together, wouldn't it be a good thing for Baisong Town?

The whole town thinks that this is a match made in heaven!

Because there is no more suitable marriage than this!

Liu Rufeng also thinks so. He and Lin Bairong are already engaged. This matter seems to be a done deal!

Fate always likes to play jokes.

Lin Bairong doesn't like the handsome and talented Liu Rufeng. Instead, she has a secret crush on the dull and ordinary Wang Jian. She resolutely resists her parents' will and secretly dates Wang Jian. But knowing Liu Rufeng's character, she has been busy with Liu Rufeng.

Liu Rufeng never dreamed that his fiancée and his friend would secretly get together.

Wang Jian said this, showing great regret and strength: "Because we know Xiaofeng's character too well, geniuses are often proud, he must not be able to accept this fact, so we choose to conceal it!"

Soon, Liu Rufeng was accepted as a disciple by a famous magician in Baicheng.

Liu Rufeng went to Baicheng to further study magic with his dream. Lin Bairong and Wang Jian chose to practice martial arts. Liu Rufeng didn't know that Lin Bairong chose this way to avoid him.

4 years!

Liu Rufeng was obsessed with martial arts, and he made rapid progress. Finally, he made a sensation in Baicheng with a research and won the honor of Baicheng Newcomer King. He thought of Lin Bairong, who he had been thinking about day and night, and decided to take the trophy and return to the town in a grand manner, propose to his beloved woman, and marry her.

A bolt from the blue happened.

Lin Bairong and Wang Jian had already decided to spend their lives together. The two of them canceled their engagement without any means.

Liu Rufeng was extremely proud and had never been taken seriously by Wang Jian. How could such a weak, dull, and ordinary person become an opponent?

But the reality was extremely cruel. Lin Bairong finally chose him.

Liu Rufeng was young and arrogant. He could not accept the facts, the loss of his beloved, and even more so, this kind of failure. He had unprecedented doubts about himself. He ran away from home on the night of his wedding, and has not been heard from since.

Wang Jian was full of guilt: "We never thought that it would cause greater harm, let alone such serious consequences, and we have always felt guilty. But how could things turn out like this? Why on earth is this happening!"

Oscar looked at the fat man's painful and guilty look, shook his head and sighed, "After Liu Rufeng left the town, he spent the next ten years studying death spells. Unfortunately, his practice method was flawed. As his magic power increased, his emotions began to change, so he became what he is today."

This is actually a very ordinary love story.

In the history of the human race, wandering beggars have counterattacked the princess of the demon race, and Oscar didn't find it strange at all. This little thing 20 years ago eventually became the fuse 20 years later, creating a terrifying avenger, which is hard to imagine and understand.

Wang Jian clenched his fist and said, "No matter how much Xiaofeng hates me, the townspeople are innocent. I can't watch his crazy plan come to fruition! Do you have any way to stop him?"

"Liu Rufeng is a great magician with profound attainments in the magic of the dead. His strength has reached 40 rings. He has refined thousands of zombies over the years. If there is enough time to prepare, or if there is enough strength, I have a hundred ways to stop him. But now... there are only a few days left. To be honest, I don't know, but I will give it a try. I need more than 10 magicians to help."

"No problem!"

Oscar wrote out a list of materials, "No matter what method, you must collect all the materials within 3 days!"

On one side is the great magician.

On the other side is the apprentice boy.

This is not a duel of the same level.

Oscar can completely find a way to pat his butt and fly away. Anyway, he has money in his hands, so why can't he live a good life? But Oscar is not an ordinary person after all. He was once a divine magician who shocked the ancient and modern times and achieved countless brilliant achievements and glory.

The pride of a divine magician will not let him choose to escape!

Oscar was once an orphan and was adopted by a wandering warlock. He was Oscar's first teacher. The old warlock had average knowledge, but he taught Oscar the principles of being a man and doing things. In summary, there are only eight words.

Do not avoid difficulties, and do not escape responsibility!

This ordinary wandering warlock eventually died with the monster when saving the small village, but he had a profound impact on Oscar's life!

In his future life, Oscar maintained an attitude of facing difficulties and taking responsibility, whether in learning or dealing with things. If not, he would not have reached such a brilliant height and won so many praises.

Oscar can leave with Alice, what about the one-eyed man and other mercenaries?

What about the hundreds of thousands of residents in the town?

The degree of civilization and prosperity will affect people's moral height to a certain extent. Oscar comes from a period of highly developed civilization. He is in a high position and highly respected. He will never back down on such things!

Therefore, Liu Rufeng must be stopped!

The Snow Wolf Inn is in chaos.

Dozens of warlocks were talking about it. The hotel caught fire for no apparent reason today, and even Oscar's house was burned down. They didn't know if they could teach normally tomorrow. In addition, the news that the orcs were about to invade was spreading like wildfire in the town, which made them very uneasy. Some people were ready to pack up and go back.

"Oscar is here!"

"Ah, it's really Oscar!"

Oscar came to the Snow Wolf Hotel, and a large group of warlocks immediately surrounded him.

"Everyone, I have something to say."

Everyone was silent immediately.

Oscar shouted, "I am very touched that you all don't mind Oscar's shallow knowledge and come to Baisong Town to exchange ideas. You should have heard about what happened today. Baisong Town is in crisis, and your safety is difficult to guarantee. I have discussed with the mayor and asked him to send an elite team to escort you back to White City."

The warlocks were very disappointed when they heard this.

"In addition, I need a few formal warlocks to help complete some things and help the town through the crisis. If someone is willing to stay and help me, I dare not say anything else, at least he will not suffer any loss."

Everyone was silent.

Judging from the current situation, the town is likely to be attacked by orcs. If they stay, it will be too dangerous. These warlocks are generally the children of wealthy merchants or aristocratic families. They are all spoiled and dare not take risks. In addition, Oscar requires that they must be warlocks. Among these dozens of people, there are only three or four warlocks.

"Me!"

"I do!"

"I do!"

With a piercing shout, a tall and plump beautiful woman rushed out excitedly.

Qin Yue squeezed out of the crowd with excitement, raised her white jade hands high, and kept repeating: "I do!"

There are countless crossroads in fate.

Every decision, every change of mind, may affect a lifetime.

For example, Liu Rufeng's obsession destroyed a genius and created a monster.

Many years later.

When Qin Yue's name spread all over the world, he could not help but feel extremely fortunate for his seemingly impulsive choice when he recalled the past. The other warlocks present were beating their chests and stamping their feet, spending their ordinary lives in endless regret and annoyance.
