Broad World

Chapter 919: News from afar

Leaving the palace, Henry felt very relaxed, because his mission for this trip to Calimshan has been successfully completed, and there is still plenty of time left. He can search for the trace of the dragon girl Hina, and see who is determined to serve Has the half-dragon, who has been fighting for women's rights all his life, destroyed the secret base that tortured children?

However, in the world, things always change quickly because the plan cannot keep up with the rapid changes. Just when the two of them were about to find a place to have some breakfast, they suddenly found a person standing in a dark alley recruiting. Mage Tower portal to Robert in Calimport.

The thief leader was very aware of his master's ambitions for Amn, so after leaving Hawke's office, he came to Calimport alone, ready to report what happened during this period.

Of course, in addition to this, he also has a little selfishness, which is to win a lucrative business for his (lover) lover.

You must know that although the guild controlled by Robert has a large amount of smuggling business, most of them are some shady commodities, so it is completely impossible to get them to be traded in the open. Otherwise, once the taxes are paid, the originally lucrative business will immediately disappear Losing money, otherwise he would not have paid attention to the colonies on the Maztec continent.

Entreri, who had a keen intuition, instantly sensed the dangerous aura inadvertently emanating from the bandit leader. He immediately held the weapon with both hands, squinted his eyes, and assumed a defensive posture.

"Don't be nervous. He's my subordinate. He should be in a hurry. You go back to the guild headquarters first, and I'll deal with it." Henry patted the killer on the shoulder, slipped into the alley, and quickly disappeared into the street Among the crowd at the end.

Watching the backs of the two leaving silently, Entreri sighed slightly, and muttered to himself, "Damn it! Why did I suddenly realize that this world has become much more dangerous all of a sudden? I encountered so many terrifying monsters within a few days..."

After speaking, he pulled the hood hard. He walked towards a tavern he used to frequent, planning to have a good breakfast before going back.

A few minutes later, Henry followed Robert to a dilapidated wooden house hidden at the corner of the city wall. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to ask: "Tell me, what happened?"

"Am is in chaos, and civil war may break out soon, here is the detailed report I compiled." The thief leader took out a piece of parchment from his arms.

After a brief glance at the above content, Henry's eyes burst into two shots: "The Mutual Aid Association launched an unprecedented riot? Askatla was divided into countless lands? Anomen occupied Kezula City? Interesting , It's really interesting. I didn't expect Nesis to move so fast. It seems that I have to adjust the plan."

He initially sent the succubus to Amn just to stir up a little conflict, and divert the attention of the council of six from the Mutual Aid Society, so that these people can better carry out their activities, but who would have thought that this succubus was not as bold as Small, directly detonated this brewing volcano, and the effect far exceeded expectations.

According to the original plan, Henry believed that the Mutual Aid Society had to develop at least three to five years with peace of mind. Only when its wings hardened could it begin to compete for power with the aristocracy and the merchant class. After all, that's what those predecessors in the 19th century on earth did. Moreover, there were several bloody suppressions in the middle, so I always thought that this kind of thing could not be rushed.

But he forgot one thing, that is, there is no supernatural power on earth. So whoever has more resources will be able to win in the confrontation.

But Faerun is different. There are not only weird and changeable spells here, but also succubus who can make men fall under their skirts with just one look.

Nesis easily sent the Mutual Aid Society's carriage, which was destined to run out of control, onto the high-speed track by seducing a young man, and then subdued Constance, who was quite influential in the Masked Mages Guild, and the ruling class She was completely confused by the charm she exuded, and her reaction was extremely slow, which eventually caused the whole of Amn to fall into an unprecedented crisis.

Henry couldn't even believe it. A mere succubus would have such a good strategic vision. According to the current situation, Askatla could not restore order for the time being, and Sir Pig Head occupied a favorable location. It can be said that he wanted money, food, food and weapons. Equipped with weapons and equipment, several cities in the south are also wavering, maybe all of them will join Tethyr.

In addition, she also continuously sent the shipping routes and information of the Amn merchant ships to the pirates of the Nelanthir Islands. It can be said that the current six-member council, no matter whether it is land or sea transportation channels, has been cut off, and the whole is a turtle in an urn.

As long as Anomen can get the help of some powerful professionals, then the countdown to Amn's complete collapse can start, at least a few months. In a year or two, this once mighty country on the west coast will be over. At that time, whether to support a puppet regime or to swallow it all depends on the mood.

"Good job, continue to pay close attention, and secretly send a few officers to help Anomen train the army, so that his strength must grow rapidly." Henry returned the information in his hand to the thief leader.

He knew very well that he must not intervene in this matter unless it was at the last moment. Otherwise, the Undead Emperor Sean VII would definitely be vigilant. Once the Masked Mage Guild decided to join the council, Sir Pighead would be dead.

Robert nodded vigorously: "Understood, I will discuss it with Corey when I go back, and by the way, I will recruit a few mages from the guild. There is another thing. In order for you to publicly declare that you will not intervene in the civil strife in Amn, the Council of Six A colony of the Maztec Continent was sent, I thought... I wonder if it can be handed over to me to operate."

At the end of the speech, a hint of embarrassment appeared on the face of the thief leader. It was the first time in so many years that he made a selfish request, so he was a little embarrassed.

As the head of a huge intelligence agency, he has almost no savings, because his expenses are equivalent to guild expenses, and he can just raise as much as he needs, and no one supervises and asks anyway.

But obviously not this time. After all, the former is a business matter, while the latter is a private matter. The most intolerable thing for Robert is to enrich his private pockets. To the slightest benefit.

Henry caught the flashing strangeness of his capable men, and said with a chuckle: "Although I don't know what you want to do, it's no problem, I will leave the colony to you to operate. But there is one thing, the mine is not included Inside."

"Don't you ask why?" The thief leader asked in surprise.

He couldn't believe that an overseas colony with 4,000 people and huge profits was acquired in this way.

"Hehe, I can probably guess it. Tell me, who is she?"

How could Henry fail to see Robert's thoughts after being together day and night for ten years, and the happy smile in the corner of his eyes was enough to explain many problems.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Robert immediately smiled wryly and shook his head and said frankly: "Her name is Maggie, she is the daughter of a small nobleman from the Kingdom of Cormyr, and she plans to open her own chamber of commerce at Baldur's Gate. She is not She is too rich, so she can't do big business at all, and I want to give her a little help."

"Haha! Congratulations, you finally found your first love. Do you have any plans in the future, marry her?" Henry laughed and joked with great interest.

He doesn't mind at all that his most capable subordinates get married and have children, after all all intelligent life cannot avoid emotions, and a stable family can make it more mature.

But Robert obviously didn't think so. He sighed and refused without hesitation: "No, it's impossible. You should be very clear about how dangerous my job is. If you get married, it's like giving the enemy a Deadly handle. I think the current relationship will be maintained like this."

After thinking about it for a while, Henry felt that it made sense, and nodded lightly: "Since you already have your own ideas, I won't say much more. I wish you happiness. If you need anything, please feel free to tell me, no matter what Is it the land or the title of nobility."

"Don't worry about it. Maggie doesn't know my true identity yet, so I have to take it slowly. I don't want to scare him." After speaking, Robert shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

In the following time, Henry asked about the situation of the kingdom again, and after learning that everything was proceeding according to the original plan, he showed a satisfied expression on his face, especially under the awe of the floating city, a large number of people living in the high wasteland The monsters on the planet either migrated further north, or hid in caves and woods, building farms with little harassment.

You must know that he is full of expectations for this place, and plans to vigorously develop animal husbandry and breeding. As long as the first batch of immigrants follow, it will not be long before enough livestock and poultry will be produced, and there will be sufficient meat supply. , residents can grow healthily, which is crucial to the overall intelligence level.

After all, you can't expect a group of poor children who can't even afford meat to have a normal brain development. For a magical civilization, having a large number of high-quality population is the sign of its rise, otherwise, no matter how many foolish people there are, it won't help much.

After reporting on recent events, Robert quickly left Calimport and embarked on the road to Askatra. Before returning to Baldur's Gate, he still needs to see with his own eyes how bad the situation is. By the way, he will personally issue some orders to the guild members there, so that it will not be so easy for the six-member council to restore order in the city.

As for Henry, he walked quickly in the direction of the headquarters of the Phantom Guild. He no longer has any thoughts of wandering around. He just wants to stabilize the underground forces in Calimport as soon as possible, so that he can get away and go to Velen to check the progress there. .

Because once the civil war in Amn begins, this city located at the throat of the sea will become extremely important in an instant. It is too close to the capital of Amn, and it can also threaten the second largest port city, Mullan. , as long as accurate information can be obtained, it can be the last straw to break the rule of the six-member council...
