Chapter 242: The Actor and the Staff-Maker

"What a coin-throwing iron!"

"You're going to be a little slower!"

Just when Levi was sitting on the Diaoyu Tai, in a tailor shop diagonally opposite the Hogg Alchemy Supermarket, the tailor McRanco watched the old Cohen who had directly left his work in the perfume shop next door and hired people to buy all kinds of weapons outside the Hog Supermarket, his eyes were red, and he slapped the wooden ruler directly on the sewing machine, and said to the fat daughter who had just snapped up a full load on the opposite side

"Estian, come and help me look at the shop, your dad and I have something to do to get out. ”

"If you have one more customer in the store today, I'll have the same surname as Old Cohen next door." ”

The fat daughter Estian rolled her eyes, "Who told you to give me more money before, and now you regret it! ”

"You, too! This shop will close today! Anyway, I don't think there will be any business today. ”

Melanco finished his coat as if he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly untied the money bag at his waist and stuffed it into his daughter's hand, and said

"Now, take your two younger brothers! Go to the people who hand out the leaflets, and buy me this kind of membership application in their hands! Second! No! Someone must have done this now! Collect me at the price of three brass thumbs, the more the better! After the deed is done, I will give you an extra 10 silver coins of pocket money this month!"

"Really!" Estian's eyes suddenly brightened, and his bloated body trembled with excitement.

"Go!" McRanco hurriedly pushed his daughter out, pulled down the door of the store, and didn't care about anything else, rushing towards the north side of the next block at a much faster speed than ordinary people.

After turning several remote alleys one after another, and seeing that there was no one left and right, he took out a black hood and put it on his head, entered through the back door of a restaurant called the Gilded Rose Restaurant, and then came to the underground of this building through a secret passage.

What his daughter didn't know was that he Melanco, on the surface, was an old tailor who had worked in the trade area for more than 20 years, but secretly had another identity.

That's a shadow thief!

And this is the headquarters and paradise of thieves!

Strictly speaking, the Shadow Thief is also an offshoot of the Thieves' Guild, but the Shadow Thief has been able to stand out as the largest and most prosperous Thieves Guild in Corell, and its success stems from its complex interlocking guild system.

Dedicated to the twin goals of profit and power, these unions radiate from their strongholds from Becky City to Amm, and control almost all of the criminal activity in Sword Bay, extending their black hand to the rest of Corell.

The high level of secrecy of the union and its operations has left union members with little knowledge of the overall workings of the organization and other colleagues, and the forces of law and order are constantly trying to break through the silent wall that surrounds the shadow thieves, but unfortunately, they have had little success. Although some unions have been eliminated from time to time, the organization as a whole has grown stronger over time.

Secrecy is the key to the success of the guild organization, and the individual guilds that make up the Shadow Thieves are carefully arranged and instructed so that each member knows only a few other members' names and appearances.

These members are very reluctant to act together, so even if one is caught or decides to spit out some knowledge, the threat to the others is minimized.

Only members of the Shadow Council have information about the overall functioning and agents of the organization, and even then, it fears being endangered by apostate or infiltrators that could lead to turmoil throughout the organization.

What's more, those who fail to keep the organization's secrets often lose money to the organization, which cannot be tolerated, so it is not surprising that the punishment for members who betray the organization's secrets is extremely cruel, even outright execution.

Conversely, those members who maintain the secrecy of the organization in the face of personal danger, arrest, and imprisonment are rewarded.

Members of all levels of the Order are comforted to know that their families are taken care of when the worst happens to them, a policy that allows the Order to have almost familial allegiance in the inner ring.

In the outer ring of the organization, members of local unions operating on behalf of the shadow thieves are compensated by the union when they are arrested and sanctioned, and some of the more affluent local unions give a bereavement to the member's family if a member is executed.

About a century or so ago, five ambitious criminals created the Shadow Thieves, the original base of the organization was located in the city of Drawing Water, and it operated like any other thief guild, but the important difference was that

The power of the trade unions depended on one of the newcomersβ€”β€”β€”

Shadow Master!

Rheinnoam Danny Hill

In addition, there are five other leaders who form the Shadow Council with Rheinom, and the vast territory of the union is divided between the six of them, each responsible for the operation of a region.

All members of the Shadow Council have at least three distinct identities to ensure that they can travel in some disguise at any time.

And now, he, Merranco, is going to try to 'meet' the Lord of the Shadows directly, before everyone else!

If he can grab the biggest piece of cake for the Shadow Thief Guild, perhaps, after stagnating in the guild for five years, he will be able to go to the next level.

At that time, even if his three stupid children can't inherit their position, with their loyalty and contributions to the guild over the past few decades, they must secretly take care of them, and the guild will still agree.

However, what made his heart sink was that after he made a briefing and came to the core area, he found that there were few people in the union headquarters, which used to provide behind-the-scenes support for the activities of at least 3,000 thieves at the same time, and he couldn't help but burst into a foul language

"Damn! Eighty percent of them went to Hogg's workshop to pick up money!"

And at this moment, the shadow servant in charge of the report said to him

"The staff maker, the actor already knows about your intentions, and the actor asked me to ask you

"As the thirteenth member of the Hogg Alchemy Supermarket to report to him, how much do you know about the background and purpose of this group of outsiders, and what substantive suggestions do you have for their actions this time?

"This"

When Myranco heard this, he was stunned.

This was the first time he instinctively felt that he might have encountered a big incident that happened in the opposite door of his store!

So when he summoned up the courage to gamble his future and fate, and went to meet the master of darkness with the news and advice that he was still hot, he was faced with this style of painting

This feels the same as when my daughter took the exam at the Academy of Magic?

As the minutes ticked by, just as he sensed that the shadow servant's patience was about to run out, his mind flashed back to the image of the group renting a shop three days ago and the words he overheard, and gritted his teeth

"Please be sure to tell the actor that the background of the owner of the Hogg Alchemy Workshop is not trivial, and he just had a secret meeting with the young lady of the Xialan Chamber of Commerce three days ago!

"So I boldly speculate that behind the actions of the Hogg Alchemy Workshop, there is probably the shadow of the Xialan Chamber of Commerce!

"Please also ask the actor to face the Hogg Alchemy Workshop in this operation

"Be careful!"
