Chapter 387: The Broken Wheel (Thank you, Avoga Pineapple!) )
After a few more minutes, Brienne pushed through the door with an old skeleton still dressed as a night crow catcher, and sat across from the two Chaos cultists, their faces not very good, while the Tomb King stood silently behind her, and the all-black shape looked like an obsidian statue.
It was all thanks to the mercenary's wit that the dark elves were not wiped out at the hands of the lizardmen, which was a great favor to Yinnarus, but the old butler did not have any good feelings for these humans of unknown origin, only because Miss Moria had specially confessed after returning that he would try to cooperate with the mercenary's actions tonight, so he prepared sumptuous food for the two captured human swordsmen, and even arranged a few dark elf beauties in the brothel.
In any case, Miss Moriah has to be left to this day, especially tonight, in case this thing is not worked out, with her stubborn temper, no matter how badly injured, she will not be able to rest well.
"Jonathan, Leon, I just received the news that our Mr. Mage is packing his bags at the "Dawn Star", and it seems that he is ready to leave you behind and go back on his own. ”
Brienne spoke as soon as she sat down.
At the moment, it seems that the plan is going well, but her mood is not very good, and the expression on her face is a little serious.
Not long after killing the necromancer, Amanam Horton remembered the three Chaos Cultists who had been thrown aside, and when he looked over, he saw that two of the swordsmen had woken up, huddled in the corner and shivering.
It is estimated that because they are a melee profession and their physical fitness is much stronger than that mage, they woke up before the shadow mage, but as soon as they opened their eyes, they saw ghosts flying all over the sky, and both of them were too frightened to act rashly, so they could only hide aside, and before they could find a chance to escape, the battle was over, and they fell into the hands of the Tomb King again.
Brienne stopped Amannan Horton from preparing to wake up the shadow mage, and then the key was to find out the information, she was afraid that the three of them would collude with each other, so she took advantage of the time to interrogate the two swordsmen separately with the old bones.
It didn't take much effort for the two core members of the "Broken Wheel" to tell all the things they knew about the church, including why they had traveled thousands of miles to the "Ruins of the Three Towers".
First of all, it is about the "Broken Wheel", the history of this chaos cult is no longer verifiable, it is said to be very long, it is only known that it has been operating around Aldolph "where the academy is located since the establishment of the Imperial Academy of Magic more than a hundred years ago".
They believe in Tzeentch, one of the four gods of Chaos, and what they have done most often over the years is to try to lure mages who want to gain power to join their churches, with the ultimate goal of corrupting the entire Imperial Academy of Magic and taking it for themselves.
I have to say that this plan is very imaginative, and it is also very much in line with the taste of Tzeentch, the "Lord of Sophistry".
This Chaos God itself represents endless changes, for him any change can gain power, if he can really drag the entire Imperial Academy of Magic into the abyss of Chaos, presumably the leader of this church will definitely be able to gain the favor of this evil god, and it is possible to directly ascend to a demon.
The number of members of the "Broken Wheel" is unknown, and most of them are only peripheral members, including scholars, politicians, scientists, craftsmen, and many of them do not know the core message of the Church.
Only those who have been tested like the two of them and have reached the combat effectiveness of the middle level or above can they become "wheels" and be regarded as a true core disciple.
The identities of the wheels are also kept secret, and large cloaks and masks are used to cover their faces at ordinary gatherings, because they each have normal identities, some may be non-commissioned officers in the army, and some may be apprentices of the Imperial Academy of Magic, and only when they need to form a team to complete the task, will they see each other's true faces.
It is said that there are a total of ninety-nine members of the entire Church, because nine is the holy number of Tzeentch, but some people say that this number does not exist, because Tzeentch likes change and hates rules, so no one knows how many there are.
The members who are more senior than the wheel are the "wheel spokes", their strength is stronger than the wheel turns, basically they are above the high level, and each wheel spoke is qualified to go to other cities to open branches and recruit Protestants, which is equivalent to the high-level cadres of the church.
Finally, standing at the top of the Church is the "Wheel Shaft", the Bishop, named Matthias Volcker, who is said to have been a teacher at the Imperial Academy of Magic, knows all aspects of the Academy, and is full of resentment towards the Academy for some personal reasons.
After knowing the general information of the "Broken Wheel", Brienne and Amanam Horton both knew in their hearts, and it was obvious that Egrem must be a member of this church, as well as the "Zareth City", and the shadow mage with him, all the characteristics were very consistent, so this bastard went to great lengths to return to the magic academy, and there was a conspiracy 100%.
I just don't know if it has anything to do with snatching the little bell.
Continuing to ask, I got a new piece of important information, this "Broken Wheel" is really going to do something.
The reason why these three Chaos cultists ran from "Aldolph" at the risk of being discovered by witch hunters was precisely because they were ordered by Bishop "Wheel" to come for the potion against the mage.
I don't know where to get the information, but the Bishop knows that the Skaven have developed a new type of poison, and in order to obtain it, a total of seven or eight teams like them have been sent to the underground black market of the empire and even the surrounding countries, in order to find this potion.
Although it is not known what the specific purpose is, the Bishop said that only people can bring the potion back, so the leading mage will personally preside over the ceremony, and he will be promoted to "Wheel Spoke", and the other members of the team will also receive rich rewards.
After some inquiry, the three of them found that this potion was very likely to appear in this auction, and finally got it smoothly, and it was precisely because it was so smooth that they wanted to stay and wait for the auction to end before leaving, but they ended up with the pond fish and almost lost their lives.
Regardless, that potion must have been very important.
Hearing this, Brienne has a new plan.
The battle was over, the auction was over, and the two Dark Elf sisters were still lying half-dead on the ground, and it was time to leave, but apart from the two awakened swordsmen, she decided to leave the remaining mage in place.
The mercenary and Fitandila carried a dark elf on their backs, and the old bones carried Elizabeth and two captives to the territory of the Forsaken Chamber of Commerce.
