It was a quaint ebony dagger, glittering with cold light, and the blade was carved near the handle with a circular wheel pattern, shattered and covered in blood.

The "Dagger of the Shadows", the weapon that had been stuck in Amanam Horton's head for thousands of years and almost killed him, has now been confirmed to belong to a chaotic human cult, the "Broken Wheel".

So that everything can be explained, this is a long-premeditated conspiracy.

Amanam Horton's lich priest, Karitaman, colluded with the Chaos Cult to insert the soul-sucking dagger into Amanam Horton's head, and then tried to transform himself into the Tomb King through the circle recorded in the Book of Dusk, one of the nine volumes of Nagash.

After an unknown number of years, the ready Karitaman was awakened by the mage of "Fetamburg", Egrem, and in order to complete the final step of the great plan, he asked the light mage to attract a large number of creatures to come and suck the soul, so the arrival of Greenskin and Fitandila arrived.

However, what happened next was completely beyond the control of the Lich Priest, and the grass man was defeated by the grass, and the undead army under his control was defeated, and even himself was killed by the stone, who also saved the dying Amanam Horton.

The only regret is that he let Egrem, a dog mongrel, run away, and the key is that he also took the opportunity to kidnap the little bell, so that now the stone is in turmoil, and he has to take a great risk to go to the empire.

Not only him, but in fact, the three people in the room were all waiting to settle accounts with the Light Mage.

Stone's Kidnapper's Fetdanira's Father's Revenge, and Amanam Horton, both Egrem and the Broken Wheel, are on his list of revenge.

This is also the reason why he was willing to go to the imperial capital with the stone, but he didn't expect to have nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get there.

Instead of being carried away by resentment and doing it on the spot, he waited for the lord to come over, and it can only be said that he understands the overall situation very well.

So Brienne didn't hesitate, and after making sure that the old bones were not mistaken, and that those people all had the same wheel markings, she asked coldly:

"Where are they now? How many people? ”

"Three people, I only saw them at noon, followed all the way, and found that I entered a hotel called "Li Xingchen", and never came out, if you haven't come today, I don't plan to wait, I'll go to them later. ”

Although he was wearing a mask and couldn't see the expression on the old bone's face, Fitandila could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from his body.

Just like the cold dagger in his hand.

"Don't do it for the time being, we don't know what the other party's identity is, how much information we know, and this place is no better than other places, once we do it, we will have to face the endless pursuit of the 'Ruin Council', and it will be difficult to get out alive."

"The Ruin Council?"

Fitandila heard the name for the first time.

"It's the people behind this black market."

Brienne groaned for a moment, and made a decision in her heart, although the "Ruin Council" is difficult to provoke, but this opportunity should not be missed, it is a rare and good opportunity, as long as you are well prepared, it may not fail to achieve your goal.

And the first step is naturally to find out the news.

"In this case, you stay here first, I'll go out and get some detailed information back, and we'll see how to act."

………

To buy intelligence, of course, go to the thieves' union.

Like other black markets of a certain size, the "Ruins of the Three Towers" also has some professional unions, but these unions are not like the knight union and the swordsman union, which can appear in broad daylight and are gray professions hidden in the shadows.

From the most basic thieves and assassins, to the necromancers, evokers, and elementals of the legal system, these evil professions will more or less have their own unions or strongholds in the black market, some large and some small, in order to facilitate the exchange of information, buy and sell materials, and are considered an important part of the black market, and the thieves' union is one of the largest organizations.

After spending a gold kroner and finding out the exact address of the thieves' union from the vampire Lady Aurora, it only took him half an hour from a vague memory to arrive at this great den of thieves that ordinary people had heard of.

It is worthy of being the most lively union in the black market, even if it is almost midnight, there are still people coming and going, indeed, for these thieves, the night is their world, and it is also a good time to work and make money.

Brienne looked at her purse so that it wouldn't be gone, and skillfully approached the staff and pointed out that she was looking for Halbert, a halfling.

………

"Black cat's tail", after the blonde mercenary left, the room fell silent.

Just as Fitandila racked her brains to find a topic to talk about, it was Amanam Horton who broke the silence first.

"Lord Fitandila, can you show me your weapon?"

The female knight was stunned when she heard this, but she did not refuse, and Dafang untied the bronze scimitar at her waist and handed it to him.

The "Glorious Blade", no one is more familiar with this weapon than the King of the Tomb, who once followed him in the north and south, from Nehekara all the way to the mountains at the edge of the world, and finally he gave this personal weapon to Kalitaman in recognition of his exploits, but he did not expect that the seemingly loyal lich priest turned out to be a traitor.

"You also participated in the battle against Karitaman, the Lich Priest? Can you tell me about it? ”

"Oh, the first thing was the undead in the valley near "Fetenburg", ......"

The female knight just couldn't find a topic to pass the time, and explained how to find the undead at first, and then how to go to the greenskin tribe for help, followed the army all the way to the Lich Priest, and then experienced the betrayal of the Light Mage, and she was seriously injured and unconscious, but in the end, under the heroic play of the Orc Boss, she killed the powerful Lich Priest.

"Orc Boss ......"

"That's right, the boss of the Greenskin Tribe is Miss Brienne's subordinate, called Stone, you should have heard of it, right?"

"I've heard of it...... You're a knight, right, what kind of martial arts did you learn? ”

"Hmm...... Shahu knife skills, Arabi Shahu knife skills. ”

Although she couldn't see the other person's appearance or age, Fitandila could clearly feel that she was talking to an elder.

"I think I've heard of it, but the 'Sand Fox Knight' should be good at a shorter scimitar, and this knife is the most suitable for the 'Yellow Springs Knife Technique' of Guni Hekhara, since you have told me so much, in return, I will teach you this set of knife skills."

"Nehekhala Yellow Springs Knife Technique!!"

Fitandila's eyes lit up and she said loudly.

She had heard of this sword technique from her adoptive father, saying that it was one of the most powerful martial arts of the Guni Hekhara knights, and with it they conquered the vast land of Arabi.

If Arabi's knights are elusive sand foxes in the vast desert, then these knights are ghostly ghosts from the underworld, even more elusive.

Upstairs in a vampire tavern, a Tomb King begins to teach an Arabic Guni Hekhara the art of swordsmanship, but it's not that simple until Brienne returns in the morning, and Fitandila is just getting started.

"Didn't sleep all night? Hurry up and take a break, and then we're off for the auction! ”
