Broad World

At the headquarters of the Shadow Thieves Guild in the dock area, Renault Bloodhead is secretly meeting with a man from the Shadow Council who is wrapped in a gray cloak. However, the atmosphere before the two is a bit weird. They are sitting at the table like this, and no one is willing to speak. Say the first sentence.

In fact, since the riots began, Bloodhead did not do his best to help quell the civil strife, and his relationship with the Shadow Council has become very tense. Guns and guns have been misfired from time to time, and each other is testing each other's bottom line and The purpose, if it wasn't for Arkanis' revenge, maybe the council would have sent someone to assassinate Bloodhead long ago.

Everyone in the Askatla gang knew that if they wanted to bring down the bloody head, they had to bring down Arkanis first. Otherwise, once the legendary thief went crazy, the whole city would be flooded with blood.

The man who hid his face under the hood is negotiating on behalf of the council today. Seeing that the action of the six-member council is imminent, he must win some support, otherwise even if those strange fortresses are captured, the council will There will be heavy losses.

Now Askatra has lost tens of thousands of its most elite population, and a large number of businessmen, scholars, nobles and middle-class families have fled. If the council of six cannot quell the civil strife, they will give up everything without hesitation and start over in a new environment.

You must know that merchants and emerging nobles are the two most important parts of Amn's politics and economy. If these people are gone, the country will be completely finished. Amn without commerce and maritime trade will definitely degenerate into a In a traditional agricultural country, a large number of rural nobles who have been suppressed by the council will inevitably fight back, and maybe a new king will be elected in the end.

After all, Amn was a monarchy several hundred years ago. At that time, all the rights were in the hands of the nobles. They must miss that era very much, so they will definitely take back everything that once belonged to them at any cost if they have the opportunity.

After being silent for ten minutes, the messenger finally lost his composure and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Reynold Bloodhead, are you still a shadow thief now? Or do you still admit that you are a member of the Shadow Council?" One?"

"Haha! Danny Hull, you finally spoke. I thought you would keep silent as usual. What about your subordinates? Could it be that the city hall has been so embarrassed that you let this dignified man One of the members of the six-member council. The top leader of the Shadow Thief will come out in person?" Bloodhead teased him in an extremely sarcastic tone.

It can be seen that he is full of resentment at the moment, and he does not hide his malicious eyes.

But it's no wonder that when the vampires started the guild war a few months ago, the review did not give any real help at all, and even the other leaders of the Shadow Council watched from the sidelines. If Henry hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid He has now become the slave of the vampire queen Bodhi.

Whoever it is, it is impossible to be calm after going through such a thing, not to mention the heavy price paid by the bloody head. It hasn't fully recovered yet.

But it was precisely because of this that when he signed the agreement with Henry to betray the Shadow Thief, he didn't even hesitate at all. Coupled with the fact that a lot of money has been obtained from the sale of "Elysium Dreamland", so those who want to intensify their efforts to make the other party look good.

Things have developed to this point, it can be said that the council of six has lost control of the place, the shadow council exists in name only, and all the senior leaders have begun to expand their power to prepare for the upcoming chaos, anyone who is not a fool can see it , Amn's decline has become a foregone conclusion. What we have to do now is to expand our strength as much as possible, and then wait for the price to be sold.

"Bloodhead! You'd better not forget who extended a helping hand when you needed it the most! I think you were just a disinherited heir of a second-rate family back then! It was completed under the power of the Shadow Thieves Guild. Revenge!" Danny Hull slapped the table hard, cursing viciously.

The sudden movement startled Bloodhead, and subconsciously put his hands on the weapon around his waist, he knew very well that the man in front of him was not as powerless as he looked.

As a fifteenth-level thief and fifth-level assassin, Danny Hall was second only to Arkanis in the Shadow Thieves Guild. He is especially good at assassination. Many politicians clamoring to eliminate the shadow thieves were solved by him himself, otherwise he would not be able to suppress those ambitious guild leaders.

Renault Bloodhead calmly activated the protective magic on the ring, shrugged his shoulders with a playful smile: "That was a long time ago, and I have also served the Shadow Thieves Guild for so many years. The favor I owe I have almost paid it back a long time ago, and I believe you should also understand the current form. So you can omit all the useless nonsense, and just explain the purpose of coming directly."

"The council is about to launch an attack to quell the chaos in the city. I hope you can mobilize the little thieves in the city and cause some trouble among the mob. As long as you are willing to work hard this time, we can guarantee that the council will win One more seat for you."

Seeing that playing the emotional card didn't work, Danny Hull stated the requirements and conditions very bachelorly. He knew that the members of the Shadow Council had already escaped from his control, and the only thing that could drive them now was their interests.

You must know that the council is the highest governing body in Amn, and each of them has great power. In order to suppress the riots, these people also worked hard...

"A seat in the council?!!" Bloody's eyes flashed twice, and a hint of greed appeared on his face inadvertently.

Undoubtedly, anyone who has lived in Amn for more than a year is no stranger to the title of Supreme Councilor. The resources and financial resources they have in their hands are enough to overwhelm any powerful chamber of commerce or family. At the same time, they can also formulate some Laws in their own favor, though superficially democratic, are in fact dictatorial to the extreme.

Just when he was thinking about the gains and losses of benefits, there was a sudden wave of fluctuation in the air, followed by a cold light, and instantly blood splattered everywhere!

Danny Hull rolled on the spot in embarrassment, avoiding the fatal blow, but all four fingers on his right hand except the thumb were cut off.

Without any hesitation, the attacker rushed forward with a stride, waving the weapon in his hand. The tricks never leave the key points, and in a few seconds, several deep wounds were cut on the opponent's body.

Danny Hull, who lost one hand, could barely resist. Finally, he couldn't hold it any longer. He immediately activated the amulet on his neck, and then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Reynold Bloodhead! You idiot! Dare to assassinate me! Just wait! The army of the council will crush your territory!"

As soon as the voice fell, a strong white light flashed, and his whole body disappeared without a trace in an instant. Without asking, he knew that he used the teleportation spell to escape. Only the bloody fingers on the ground proved that a thrilling incident just happened Assassinate.

"Hmph! The pitiful cry of the weak. It won't be long before the whole of Amn will collapse, so what can a mere member of Parliament do." As he spoke, the attacker pulled down his hood, revealing a very ordinary face. Heath left Robert.

He originally planned to come to find Bloodhead for a showdown, but who would have thought that he would just meet Danny Hull, as the saying goes, what you do is not as good as what you do...

The thief leader made a decisive decision and decided to launch an assassination. On the one hand, the council would think that the bloodhead had betrayed them, and on the other hand, he could force the bloodhead to join his camp. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, as another party involved, Renault Bloodhead didn't feel very good at the moment, to be exact, he was trembling with anger. After a while, he raised his trembling fingers and asked, "You... what do you mean?!!"

"What do you mean?" Robert laughed and spread his hands. "It's very simple, my friend, it's time for a showdown. Now you have to make a choice, either stand on the side of me and the master and join us to overthrow the rule of the council, or stand on the side of the council and fight us But now it seems that Danny Hull will not believe any of your promises anymore, after all, in his eyes. You just launched an assassination and cut off four of his fingers."

"Showdown!!! The Lord of Shadows is here! Is your ambitious master planning to annex Amn?!" Bloodhead instantly stood up and asked with surprise on his face.

As the master of the underground world of Askatla, he certainly can't be a fool. From the past incidents, he can clearly feel Henry's penetration in this land, especially the one that was launched some time ago. The rioting mutual aid club is definitely a chess piece that has been arranged in advance.

Robert flicked the blood off the weapon. He came to the table and lowered his voice and said, "No, the master doesn't want the whole of Amn yet, what he wants is only a small part, and the rest will be allocated to the reliable partner. Think about it carefully. , don’t you want to one day be able to leave the shelter of the shadows and step forward generously?”

It has to be said that this sentence is quite tempting to those guild leaders who are always on guard against mutiny and assassination. Even a guy who has almost climbed to the top like Bloodhead is no exception.

After all, the leader of the guild can only rely on means and strength to fight for it, but the nobles can lie at home and enjoy life safely, and can pass it on to their children after they die. Anyone who is not a fool will know which is better.

His breathing suddenly became rapid, he clenched his fists tightly, stared at his bloodshot eyes and asked, "I want a city! A hereditary noble title! Can you give it to me?"

Robert put the weapon back into its sheath, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course! Kremur and Pusu, you can choose these two cities. As for the title, I think an earl should be enough. But in exchange Conditions, you and your subordinates must either be under my jurisdiction, or withdraw from Askatra. In addition, "Dream of Elysium" is not allowed to be sold within the sphere of influence of the master."

In his opinion, the west of Amn, which has lost a large number of merchants, will soon decline. Except for the two natural ports of Askatra and Mullan, other places have no value at all, so do it without thinking out of promise.

"I need a written guarantee! When you can bring a full set of credentials, I will start cooperating with your actions."

Although the two parties have cooperated happily before, the bloodhead is very cautious this time. He understands that verbal promises can be overturned at any time, and it is only safe to implement them on paper.

"No problem, I will deliver what you want as soon as possible, I wish us a happy cooperation." Robert stretched out his right hand as he spoke.

"Happy cooperation!" The blood head also stretched out his right hand and shook it vigorously.
