.

They fight against evil in ways that may seem trivial to outsiders, or even deviant. Although some people from the good camp find it difficult to understand this, they themselves enjoy it because they never ask for anything in return.

The main members of the Harpers are elves, rangers or bards, as well as those so-called loners, unique lonely travelers, and madmen with outstanding abilities.

Although the Harpers' duties are full of dangers, there is one thing that Brian admires more. They are brave people who fight against terrible dangers with courage and strength. They even do their best to achieve these goals without caring about themselves.

safety, honor and disgrace.

Moreover, this tight organization is the vanguard of the existing order on the entire continent. It has a large number of safe houses and agents. They usually travel alone or in small groups to conduct secret operations across the world.

They live in every corner of the world in a hidden way. They may be an elf warrior wearing full body armor, a poor human ranger wearing leather armor, or a wanderer shrouded in shadow, a bartender in a bar, or a beggar on the street.

Beggars and so on.

They use their own unique way of life to maintain their lofty and lofty ideals, even though it seems out of reach.

But at this moment, Brian felt that the half-elf poet's words about the Harper Alliance's philosophy sounded a bit strange.

The harsh tone made it sound like the other party was not a Harper scout at all.

However, the brooch he took out, symbolizing the identity of the Harper, was genuine.

This made him wonder what kind of person this guy was.

"You should be familiar with the Harper Alliance." He temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and immediately answered.

"In fact, the fundamental reason why this friend from the Harper Alliance came with me to meet you is that he had insight into the conspiracy of the City of Shades. These Shades are preparing to eliminate you all at the wedding and take your place.

And the purpose of his coming here is to prevent disaster from happening."

As Brian finished his words, gasps came from the room.

Obviously, the credibility of words spoken in the name of the Harper Alliance is still very high.

After all, the Kingdom of Cormyr is adjacent to the Vale to the north, and the leader of the Harpers, the famous Magic Goddess Chosen Storm Silverhand, lives in the Valley of Shadows in the Vale.

"Shut up, you just need to know that everything I say is true, then cooperate with me and nod from time to time."

Seeing the strange look Elend looked at him, as if he was hesitant to speak, Brian was afraid that Elend would disrupt his plan, so he immediately explained the situation to him through telepathy.

"Yes, we have insight into the conspiracy of the City of Shadows, and under the instructions of Ms. Silverhand in the Storm, we are here to help you survive this disaster." The half-elf poet shrugged helplessly and nodded in agreement with Brian's words.

Brian looked at the poet suspiciously. He felt that the other party spoke the name of the leader of the Harpers without any respect, which made his suspicions worse.

However, he did not continue to think about it, but turned his attention to the hesitant Lord Graal and others, knowing that the time had come.

"Listen up!"

He shouted coldly, causing their eyes to focus on him. Then he took off his gloves without haste and showed the ring on his finger:

"Now, in the name of the King of Cormyr and the First Men, the guardian of the Purple Dragon Kingdom, and the Obaiszil family, I, Brian, the pioneer of the wilderness, the new lord of Mokou Town, hereby command you to raise your arms immediately.

Purple Dragon’s flag, help me take down Mokou Town!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a magical light flashed through, and a purple flag transformed by magic fluttered in the wind.

"It turned out to be the Purple Dragon Seal Ring!"

Lando recognized the ring worn by Brian at a glance and blurted out in shock, "It is the highest grade signet ring. I have only seen this kind of ring in the hands of Prince Celant."

Graal looked at the Purple Dragon Seal Ring in disbelief. He appeared in Mokou Town with the highest-grade seal ring. This was undoubtedly an oath to him of the determination of the Kingdom of Cormyr to capture Mokou Town.

Whether to choose the City of Shades or the Kingdom of Cormyr, the answer is obvious.

He and Zander looked at each other, finally nodded, dragged his fat body out of his seat, knelt at his feet, and said:

"I, Graer, am willing to lead my men and join them all under the banner of the Purple Dragon to help the new lord capture Mokou Town!"

Zhan En and Lando also knelt on the ground and responded in unison.

Seeing this situation, the poet standing aside was stunned, as if he couldn't figure out how the other party obtained such a valuable item from the Cormyr royal family.

"It seems that Archduke Raul of Arabe City has indeed seen the right person." Brian put away his signet ring, put on his gloves again, nodded, and said coldly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing you ungrateful people with my own hands.

person."

Hearing this, Grad suddenly broke into a cold sweat and secretly felt lucky that he had made the right choice.

He really didn't expect that Duke Raul, who had always only contacted him unilaterally through the Mage Tower, would directly direct the new lord to contact him without even notifying him to test his loyalty.

Now, with the help of the Purple Dragon Knights and War Mage from the Kingdom of Cormyr, he has the confidence to compete with the City of Shadows and the Sanlin Tower Society.

In this case, not only would he not have to take risks to form an alliance with Shadow City, he would also be able to help the new lord retake Mokou Town.

"Don't worry, Lord, we will fully support you in taking Mokou Town." Graer immediately assured him loudly.

"Very good, don't worry."

Brian nodded slightly and said to him, "I am bound to win Mokou Town. When I win this town, I will not only ask for instructions from the superiors and give you a family name and a noble title, but I will also make you the leader of Mokou Town."

President of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Thank you, Lord, for your love." When Grall heard the assurance given to him by the new Lord, he looked happy and quickly thanked him.

His humble status has always been a pain point for him.

If he could assist the new lord in capturing Mokou Town, he would not only be able to fulfill his desire to become a noble, but he would also be able to suppress the business group of the Sanlin Pagoda Society and become the most powerful financial group in this prosperous town of Mokou Town.

And with the Kingdom of Cormyr as a big backer, he doesn't have to live in fear all day long.

"Everyone, get up." Brian motioned for everyone to get up, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"I have been fortunate enough to visit an ancient library in the Sword Coast, Zao Castle. I have heard about the secrets of the book "The Price of Beauty". If I have time, I will find a way to trap you in the secret realm of the book.

Save my daughter."

"How did you know about this?" Graal was completely shocked when he heard this.

Two days ago, his daughter had an accident while reading a magic book called "The Price of Beauty". Before she could hire a wizard to help find out what the cause was, the new lord actually knew about it in advance.

"We will discuss this matter later." Brian changed the subject, "Our most important task now is how to crush the conspiracy in the City of Shadows at the wedding in three days."

"Lord, I think we can just tear up the treaty and cancel the wedding." Graal calmed down and made suggestions to Brian:

"Then I led my men, summoned the mercenaries from the town, and cooperated with the kingdom's purple dragon knights and war mage legions internally and externally to eliminate the forces of the Sanlin Pagoda Society and Yinhun City, and quickly captured Mokou Town."

"No!"

Brian flatly denied the suggestion.

He couldn't deny it, because he was only a mere commander, and without the permission of his superiors, it was impossible to mobilize the purple dragon knights and battle mages that the Kingdom of Cormyr was proud of.

That's why he thought of using his Purple Dragon Seal Ring to go to Mokou Town for free.

He thought for a moment and told them his plan:

"The loss would be too great. Massive mobilization of the Purple Dragon Knights and Battle Mages will definitely attract the enemy's attention. Since we already know the plan of Shadow City in advance, we will use our tricks to eliminate them all at the wedding."

…………

While Brian and others were discussing the plan, they were in a secret basement where the Sanlin Tower Club was located in Mokou Town.

Angus, the heron knight in heavy black armor, took off his steel helmet and entered a secret room with many strange scenes carved on the walls.

The dark phosphorus fire swayed, making the surrounding area look extremely eerie.

A slender figure in black robes knelt under the obsidian altar, praying on the ground with his hands intertwined.

"I already have information about the person you asked me to track down." Angus looked at the black shadow under the obsidian altar and said in a low voice.

The black shadow suddenly opened his eyes, revealing his reddish gaze, and asked eagerly, "Where is he?"

"My spies met him at the Salamander."

The leader of the Zanlin Towers replied, "Seeing him returning to the manor with Graal's son Lando, they are probably preparing to attend Miss Natasha's wedding."

"Bring your men to this wedding and kill him! Take back the items that belong to my lord!" Black Shadow's graceful voice was distorted with anger.

"I'm sorry to tell you, Miss Shirling." Angus said with a serious expression, "We at Sanlin Tower have received orders to stay put and wait and see what happens."

"Then you are not afraid that the forces of Ghost City will unite with Lord Graer to overthrow your rule in Mokou Town." The black shadow called Xierlin sneered and said to him.

"In fact, we were very scared."

Angus replied expressionlessly, "But I am very aware of Hajhorna's behavior. These remnants of Netheril have already engraved their arrogance in their bones. I guess this wedding will be very exciting, no matter what it ends up being."

Whoever wins, I can wait for a while and destroy them."

"no!"

Xierlin shouted coldly, "In order to prevent accidents from happening, you must take action and kill the people instructed by my lord. This is the condition you agree to me, otherwise..."

"Miss Xierlin, don't go too far." Angus looked cold and forcibly interrupted her.

"A month ago, you told me that this person would definitely appear near the Mokou Mountains. I put down all the tasks in my hands and mobilized almost all the scouts and spies to help you find the person. As a result, I was in the underground business of Aldus King City.

The team accidentally discovered that the other party has been underground for more than a month. I have tolerated you once, don't go too far!"

"He must die, and I must take back what belongs to my lord."

Sireen was silent for a moment, looked at the obsidian altar, and said slowly, "This is my bottom line and the basis for my lord's cooperation with the God of Tyranny."

"I have my own arrangements." The leader of the Sanlin Pagoda Society softened his expression slightly and continued, "I have distributed spies in every corner of the town. When the wedding is over, as long as he dares to leave the manor, he will definitely die."
