The Baldur's Gate dock area is adjacent to the mouth of the Chongsa River. Due to the crazy attack of the sahuagin last time, prosperity has not yet been fully restored, especially when a large airship with excellent load capacity was put into use, which caused a slight Businessmen in the capital are unwilling to take the risk of going out to sea by boat. They would rather spend more money and transfer to a fast and safe new type of transportation within the city.

If there is no demand, there will be no new ships to be built, so a large number of old ship tents have been abandoned and become a gathering place for hooligans, villains and thieves. At night, ghosts and wolves can often be heard inside, and the surrounding residents even rumored that it was the dead murlocs. The ghosts cannot rest in peace, and they come out in groups at night to seek revenge.

But obviously, all this is just a means to frighten fools, and it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of truly smart people.

Injured Serena endured the pain and ran into the messy dock. In order to prevent the bleeding arm from becoming the target of the enemy's pursuit, she actually drank a bottle of healing potion, forced the wound to heal, and stuck the entire arrow in the muscle, which was extremely cruel to herself.

Not long after walking in, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadows, and without saying a word, he put the dagger on Serena's back: "Don't move! Otherwise, I guarantee that it will pierce through you before the magic protection is activated. chest."

Serena didn't try to resist, and hurriedly raised her hands high and said in a low voice: "Relax, I'm one of my own, don't you see the broken magic arrow on my arm? I must see Prince Ruivalan immediately, his The plan failed, and those damned assassins launched an all-out attack. We must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible, or we will die."

"Hmph! Coward, this is just a temptation from the other party, and you just ran away like this?" the assassin with the dagger in his hand mocked mercilessly.

"timid?!!"

When Serena heard this word, she turned around and growled like a cat whose fur had exploded: "Look at this crossbow! Open your dog eyes and take a good look! It's not an ordinary poisoned arrow. It's the magic-breaking arrow that can pierce the magic protection, those people want to kill me, so why don't I run away and wait for death?!"

With a sneer, the assassin passed the dagger forward, and the sharp blade pierced the skin with a cold light. Blood dripped down the sensual (sensual) smooth back.

This warning action made Serena immediately stop her screaming, but her eyes were still full of anger and hatred. If she hadn't been restrained by others, she would never have swallowed this breath.

"You failed, so you are not qualified to see His Royal Highness again. The City of Shadows does not need any useless people, so your life is completely over here."

The moment the last word fell, the assassin suddenly pushed the dagger hard, then stretched out his other hand and inserted it into Serena's mouth, grabbing the tongue and pulling it hard. His movements are fast and ruthless, and it can be seen that he has a lot of experience in dealing with spellcasters. It is very clear the importance of preventing the opponent from chanting spells in the first place.

This beautiful woman with a high level of spellcasting didn't even have time to let out a scream, and fell to the ground in a miserable state. Her heart was drained of blood by the dreadfully enchanted dagger, and her tongue was snapped off. The corners of the mouth kept gushing blood, and the two beautiful big eyes were wide open, as if asking why.

The assassin felt the vitality coming from the dagger, and the corner of his mouth hidden under the hood drew a slight arc: "Sorry, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, anyone who may leak the secret must be eradicated, who made you commit the crime?" A stupid mistake."

As soon as the words fell, Rui Valan, the ghost prince, slowly came out of his hiding place. He held a purple handkerchief in his hand. Covering Serena's face lightly, she sighed regretfully: "Hey, what a pity that such a beautiful woman died like this. I plan to invite her to join us after the plan is completed."

"Your Highness, she is just a target to attract attention. After she dies, the oriole can hide deeper." The assassin put the dagger back into its sheath and bowed slightly.

"Remember, no matter at any time. You must ensure the safety of the oriole. This plan cannot go on without her. Our goddess Shar doesn't like failure, understand?" Rui Valan was very serious A warning was issued.

"Please rest assured, I guarantee that the oriole will be safe and sound. Although the other party launched a large-scale investigation and cleaning. But in the end nothing was obtained. In addition, how do you plan to deal with the issue about the floating city? Our people have seen it with their own eyes. I saw that sphere exuding great power. With its energy level, it can definitely make a city fly." As he spoke, a trace of worry appeared on the assassin's face.

As one of the most powerful thieves in the City of Shadows, he knew the threat of the Floating City, so he hoped to get some instructions from the prince.

Rui Valan smiled disdainfully and shook his head: "You don't need to worry about this matter, just leave it to the oriole to play by ear. The reason why our Ghost City is strong is because we have the education system left over from the Netheril era. And countless arcanists, but what does Henry Angomey have? With his hundreds of crappy low-level mages? If there is a real war, they will all be killed within a few hours."

He probably doesn't know that Henry has already obtained the magic crystal shard "Clinshinibon", and he can pull up a terrifying army of evil at any time as long as he wants to, even if the City of Shadows encounters him, he can't eat it and walk around.

"In this case, I will go to the city to see the loss of other spies. You'd better leave this dangerous place by boat." After finishing speaking, the assassin jumped into the shadows and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. . Like all the elites of Shadow City, he also transformed himself into a shadow physique, which has a unique advantage in stealth.

Seeing that his capable men had left, Rui Valan took a deep breath, looked up at the city, and said to himself: "My Destroyer, quickly release the evil in your heart. Anger, hatred, greed, killing ...to bring a little excitement to this boring world, otherwise it would be too boring..."

After speaking, he directly boarded the boat that had already been prepared. Quietly bypassed the guards patrolling the river, quickly left the area of ​​influence of forbidden teleportation magic, followed by opening a teleportation gate, and returned directly to the city of ghosts, leaving only the empty boat floating with the waves go.

At the same time, the large-scale investigation in the city was coming to an end. More than 20 people were killed on the spot and 60 people were secretly arrested. Suddenly, the underground base of the Thieves Guild was overcrowded.

The dilapidated Baal Temple underground in the city became lively again. This is the first time that so many "guests" have been welcomed since Apodell and Sarevok settled their grievances here. After a simple transformation, the ancient temple has completely turned into a spooky prison. The less courageous ones only need to It's possible to have a nervous breakdown if you stay there for two hours.

Robert is sitting quietly on a chair now, waiting for his subordinates to send up the results after the torture. He turned a deaf ear to the screams and wailing echoing in the hall, and concentrated on trimming his nails.

"I said, dear disciple, should you explain the reason for such a big fight. You must know that ten of my best fighters died in this operation." Alates asked with a painful face.

Now he is the only one in the entire guild who dares to speak to Robert in this tone. After all, when he was young, Robert had received strict training under his subordinates. Therefore, the relationship between the two is relatively close, and there are a lot less scruples when speaking.

"Why?" Robert smiled playfully. "I think it's better for you not to know, or you may get killed. The enemy Master is going to deal with this time is not simple. You just need to do your job well."

Alatus stroked the goatee on his chin, and asked with a little reluctance: "Then you must let me know who killed them? Otherwise, how can I explain to my subordinates!"

"I really want to know?" Robert put down the file in his hand, raised his head to stare at his former teacher, and slowly released the unique aura of a legendary thief.

In an instant, everyone standing within ten meters around felt a chill in their necks, as if a deadly weapon was pressing against their throats, and they all showed fear in their eyes.

Arates, who was sweating profusely, swallowed, and soon showed a wry smile: "Okay. It seems that I don't know anything..."

Before he finished speaking, a bloody torturer stepped forward and shouted excitedly: "Boss, we have found out the identity of the first woman. She was planted by the Harper Alliance at Baldur's Gate." The spy, along with eight other companions, were all arrested by us. How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Oh? It's actually a harp player..." Robert frowned slightly.

Obviously, he didn't want any confrontation with the Harpers, but it seemed a bit late now. After all, in order to get results faster, the interrogation process was extremely cruel. Otherwise, with the firm will of the Harper, it would be impossible to confess so quickly.

Seeing the embarrassment on the boss's face, the interrogators lowered their voices and suggested, "It's better to just stop doing nothing and kill them all, anyway, just push the Zhentarim on them when the time comes."

To hear such an insane proposal. Robert quickly waved his hand: "No, no. After this operation, all forces will notice us, and it is impossible to be silent. Forget it, clean their wounds, and then bring them here, myself Let me explain. By the way, you didn't kill or maim people, did you?"

"Absolutely not, just peeled off a few pieces of skin on her face, and the woman couldn't help but collapse first." The torturer replied very proudly.

"My God! Kid, your heart is too vicious, you actually have the heart to destroy such a beautiful face." Alates' eyes widened in disbelief.

He simply didn't know how these extremely distorted guys were cultivated. They didn't even have a trace of hesitation or guilt during the execution, and some even had a fanaticism towards art.

Just when the torturer was about to retort, Robert raised his hand to stop him, and said to his former teacher with a smile: "I remember you said in the class that the real torturer tortured the prisoner. There must be no trace of emotion when talking, only in this way can we accurately judge whether the other party is telling the truth. Don't you think this young man has done this perfectly?"

"Damn it! That's just a theory! Do you understand the theory?!"

Arates was like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately jumped up and refuted loudly, but his eyes that kept avoiding revealed his guilt at the moment, and the young torturer's disregard for ethics and life made him feel chills all over.
