Evil will not deceive you

Fan Cleef looked at Li Ke who appeared next to him in armor, with an uncertain expression on his face. He was not sure whether what he saw was the real Li Ke or a false illusion.

But he was certain of one thing.

If Li Ke really wanted to kill him, he would have died just now.

"The feeling of the heart is not right. Every heart feels different when it is pierced. But when I pierced it just now, what came out was the feeling of the last person whose heart I pierced."

Van Cleef said what he felt was wrong. For top thieves like him, this was the biggest difference between them and those low-level thieves.

detail.

He looked at Li Ke and observed Li Ke's expression. He found that Li Ke was definitely a person who lived a gentle life: there were no helmet scratches on his face and neck, and there were no deep marks on his fingers from holding the sword. , on the contrary, there are thick calluses on the middle finger and index finger, which proves that this person writes frequently.

The standing posture is not the posture that a warrior should have, more like a person who is not good at wearing armor, but has to wear it.

All in all, the man in front of him should be more of a mage than a fully armed warrior.

"So, you are a mage? What you just released is the illusion spell on me? I have to say that you are amazing, you can make me fall into the illusion, but don't you think you have found the wrong person?"

Fan Cleef looked at Li Ke. His experience told him that he was sure to cut Li Ke's throat within a second, but his intuition told him that he would die if he did so, and he would die very seriously. miserable!

"I don't think I have found the wrong person, because we have a common enemy, Stormwind City...or rather, Stormwind City, which makes it difficult for us to live a good life and develop our own future, nobles...don't look at me like this, Fan Kree Husband, you know very well, don’t you? The stones thrown at the queen were not done by your brothers at all, but only by those who did not want to pay and wanted to weaken the royal family."

Li Ke looked at Van Cleef's drawings and couldn't help but laugh.

How should I put it, even if he was just a craftsman in his previous life, he can still see that there are a lot of places on this design that were compromised due to funds and various reasons.

Not to mention anything else, it is outrageous that a steam-powered ironclad ship actually needs sails as an auxiliary power source. No wonder in the game plot, it took Van Cleef nearly ten years to build the steel warship. Everything was really missing.

"Steel battleship? What a good idea, but it should be difficult for you to solve the problem of the keel, and the energy of the engine should not be solved... And you actually use a lot of goblins. Believe me, whether it is metal forging or other What? After you forge your own ironclad with the help of these goblins and make a name for yourself, these goblins will quickly sell your blueprints and technology. Guess who will get it then These technologies?”

Li Ke is very sure of this. Even if the goblin technology is not scientific, it still has a step-by-step process. Van Cleef has undoubtedly given the goblins a chance to try and make mistakes. When the construction is completed, Van Cleef will also It's useless.

Having both ends and an arms race is what the goblins want to see.

Of course, you can still do business, and small money is money.

"This is not something you should care about. I just want to know how you got in!"

This is what Van Cleef is most concerned about. In order to prevent the bastards from MI7 from attacking him, his lair is heavily guarded. Even if he breaks in on his own, he will most likely die on the way.

How did Li Ke do it?

Even if he has the Illusion Technique, it takes time to cast the spell. He has three secret sentries in each place. It is impossible for any of them to not notice that someone has released the Illusion Technique!

Unless the person in front of him is an expert specializing in illusions, and can release illusions in all directions around him in one second without any blind spots, otherwise he will not be able to get in at all!

But he is a very good paladin in intelligence, which makes it even more difficult to understand.

A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything!

"Some small tricks are not worth mentioning, and didn't you just taste it? Or do you not believe in my ability?"

Li Ke opened his hand, and the power of shadow in his hand flickered. The next moment, Fan Cleef's eyes widened. He saw his wife, his father and mother, and his brothers.

They were looking at him and smiling, especially his beloved wife, who was slowly walking towards him and hugged him.

"Honey!"

Van Cleef was in a trance for a moment, and was hugged by his wife without realizing it.

"I'm dying!"

As soon as this thought occurred, he found that his arms had already hugged his wife. Not only that, he was no longer wearing the leather armor that he dared not take off, but the dress that his wife had custom-made for him. A dress that was supposed to be worn at the celebration of the founding of Stormwind City.

The smell, temperature, softness, sound, and emotions that cannot be faked are exactly the same, completely the same!

Then he saw his daughter with a happy face, a little baby being held in someone's arms.

...Vanessa?

Why is she still so old?

As soon as this idea appeared in Van Cleef's mind, he immediately saw through it that it was just another illusion.

"asshole!!!"

His confused eyes suddenly turned red, and his violent anger caused everything he saw to disappear. His wife even showed a confused expression because her body was disappearing.

"Dear, I am..."

But before his wife finished speaking, her figure and voice distorted and disappeared, making the anger in his heart even more intense.

"You bastard!!"

He now desperately wanted to pierce Li Ke's heart with the dagger in his hand, but he couldn't do it, because the moment he waved his pen again, golden chains tied his limbs, making him He couldn't move anything but his head.

"Don't be so excited, Van Cleef. Look, I came to you as a guest, and you didn't even ask me to sit down, so I could only stand here. And I let you see your long-lost relatives, and you actually It really disappoints me that they want to yell at me because I come here with sincerity and good intentions."

Li Ke looked at Fan Cleef. Most of the night, he did not talk to the elf slave about the maintenance of the sword, talk about the moon with the night elf lady, or discuss the up and down techniques with the two red-haired beauties. Instead, he spent energy and time tracking the spy, and then used He walked in with the illusion and invisibility spells on, not to kill Van Cleef.

He came to be the savior, to save the miserable man in front of him, as well as others.

"Shut up! You bastard! Why can a bastard like you use the Holy Light!! You bastard!!"

But Van Cleef obviously didn't agree with his words. His roar had turned into a roar, and it almost didn't sound like a human voice.

"How rude, sir. I think you misunderstood me. I mean, Van Cleef, do you think that when a person dies, he is really dead? Or, do you agree that after death, people will go to another country?" Is that a problem? And if a person's body is repaired by some kind of power and technology, and then the soul is put back, do you think this person is dead or alive?"

Li Ke took out an orb containing the soul of a jackal, used his evil power to capture a soul, and showed it to Van Cleef.

Then, crush it in front of the other person.

The gnoll's soul dissipated in the scream of pain, and Van Cleef also regained his consciousness amidst the scream of the soul.

Although the price is mental pain, no one cares about that.

His eyes were still red, but after being silent for a while, he had regained the intelligence to speak normally.

"I need proof, and, what do you want me to do?"

Li Ke just smiled and waved, as long as Van Cleef was willing to talk. They had reached a preliminary consensus, and then all that was left was to lie.

"To be precise, what you want to do, Van Cleef, is to get my help, truly destroy those who have hurt you, and live happily with your wife and children, so that those who follow you can Can I live a happy life when I do things without conscience, or do I commit evil with you for an illusory dream, my whole family dies, and future generations have to continue on this path?"

Van Cleef was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and spoke.

"But the price of the former path is my life, right?"

He was sure of this, because he knew very well that it was impossible for anyone to want to keep him alive due to the things he had done and the various disasters he had caused.

There was no difference between him before and the one who gave up on himself.

"So? Do you care? And the question now is, are you willing to ask me to sit down? Mr. Van Cleef, I am very busy."

Li Ke opened his hands and asked, and the golden chains disappeared and turned into a sky full of holy light, shrouding Fan Cleef's body, making Li Ke look like he was standing in the shadows.

After being freed, Fan Cleef staggered. He looked at Li Ke with red eyes, wishing to kill Li Ke now, but the problem was still the same.

He can't do it.

So, he gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Please take a seat."

After a pause, and watching Li Ke calmly sit on his stool, Van Cleef spoke again in a voice that sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

"What I want is simple."

Li Ke raised his eyebrows.

"That's the wealth of this land, all mine."

"Whether it's the money and materials prepared by the nobles to deal with me, or the money I spent on Jonathan, the protection money I gave to Varian for the territory and noble title, or the money earned by the goblins and your activities here. Money and interests, the sky-high military expenses that the nobles of Stormwind City and Varian need to fight against a powerful Defias thief, as well as the military supplies to support the local resistance...

"...Not a penny should be left out, plus interest, and it's all mine."

Therefore, he must have a strong and obedient Defias thief in his territory who will not hinder his production and construction, but who can also help him increase the stability of his territory, reduce unstable elements, and train soldiers and craftsmen!

To put it simply.

Respect yourself!

Van Cleef was stunned again today, and then he expressed his heartfelt admiration.

"You're a fucking lunatic!"
