Chapter 245: The Third Faction, Begin to Import......
In fact, what has become of the border prince's territory, the difference is so big for the stone, the more lively the shrimp fight, the happier he is, except, of course, Fetanburg.
Unexpectedly, the "white fox" Matthew, who was honest and cunning on the outside, died like this, although the bearded man was as cunning as a fox, but in the eyes of the stone, he was still a good "ally".
Although he likes to play a little clever and play a little action, he also knows how to be measured, and it is okay to cooperate with his own territory in the past few years, at least the gold coins every year are not less.
So when Rep said that the other party needed help, Stone didn't hesitate too much and chose to help them deal with the skeleton shelf in the "Valley of the Dead Tomb".
Originally, he thought that he would pass by Fetamburg this time, and if he had the opportunity, he would talk to him about the alliance in depth, but there was such an accident.
As for the new city lord, the little girl who can be regarded as a birth and death together, Fitandila, the stone is also pleasing to the eye, so he asked Rep to help her stabilize the situation after the war, and also take the opportunity to expand the strength of the mercenary group.
According to the news from the mercenary leader, Fitandila broke through the bottleneck on the night of Matthew's death and became a mid-level lower-level Silver Shield Knight in one fell swoop, and chose "Sacrifice", one of the eight "sources of faith" of knights, as her major faith.
She made a public vow to find the light mage Egrem and avenge Matthew with her own hands, and in order to achieve this goal, she was willing to sacrifice a certain function of her body to gain power until the revenge was completed.
The Silver Shield Knight, who is in his early twenties, even chose the "revenge" in the main source "sacrifice".
In the previous life, the fighting profession was also a knight's stone, and this path is known as one of the three "endless roads" of knights, along with the "saints" in "piety" and the "love" in "soul" in the eight sources of faith.
If she can't fulfill the promise she made, then not only will she never be able to become the top "Coffin Knight" in the future, but every time she encounters a bottleneck in the future, she will need to sacrifice part of her body's functions to be promoted.
In any case, it was enough to see the determination of the little girl, and how much she hated the mage who betrayed her father, betrayed the whole of Fetenburg, and caused the city to almost fall into a state of no return.
At this point, the stone is definitely on the same front as her, and it can even be said that she is sympathetic, one has lost her father and the other has lost her daughter, and she feels the same way.
Although eight months have passed, as long as the thought of that guy named Egrem makes the stone grit his teeth and get angry, and what makes him even more embarrassed is that he still can't find anyone to be angry.
In terms of fighting, he is not afraid of any opponent, whether it is facing the Chaos Lich Priest who has lived for thousands of years, or a whole heavy armored cavalry regiment that can definitely rank in the top three of the "Border Prince Leader", he will not be afraid at all, anyway, he will do it, but this time the sudden disappearance of the little bell, he really has nothing to do.
Due to their special status, after defeating the Zareth that day, the greenskins of the "Broken Claw Tribe" did not stay long, except for Hawkeye and the more mobile goblin wolf riders who continued to pursue the deserters outside the city and search for the whereabouts of the little bell, everyone else returned the same way.
Before leaving, Stone only explained a few words to Rep and Aigunu alone, and for the former, it was nothing more than asking him to mobilize all the intelligence networks and search for the Light Mage and the Little Bell with all his might.
For the Chaos Dwarf Girl, seeing that she was still crying, the stone was a kick, and then in the eyes of other Chaos Dwarf warriors who dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, tell her to rest assured, first follow her own people back, contact the relationship between the tribe and her family Chamber of Commerce, and strive to bring a Chaos Dwarf caravan full of weapons and equipment back to the territory, as for the little bell, he will definitely find a way to save it.
In this way, the resentful Stone left through the back door with the boys, and halfway through the way, he took a dozen trolls lying on the side of the road who were full of food and sleep, and returned to the territory from the "Thunder Cliff" together.
As for Hawkeye, they chased the deserters for five or six days, and only turned back to the tribe until they reached the bank of the Skull River, but they didn't encounter any shrimp like a mage or a little girl along the way, and finally had to go back through the underground passage of the "Iron Forge Fort".
In fact, this is also expected by the stone, the border prince said that it is not big, it is not small, it is similar to a Middle East in the previous life, how can it be found in a few days.
Not to mention Hawkeye, they are only such people, they are all green-skinned, they are like terrorists everywhere they go, and they still can't speak foreign languages, and they can only wander around outside when they pass by shrimp towns, so trying to find two mages and a child is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
The only thing Stone can do now is to take out a large amount of gold coins and give them to Rep, so that he can quickly restore the strength of the "Forgiveness Mercenary Group" while continuing to expand the intelligence network, and find out the whereabouts of Egrim, Little Bell, and the original "Zareth" shadow mage, Strykson.
In addition to the physical characteristics of only a few of them, Stone also took out a pattern that he had drawn by himself from memory, and asked Rep to figure out the origin of this symbol, which might be helpful.
This symbol comes from the pyramid of the Valley of the Dead Tomb and is inserted into the "Soul Dagger" on the forehead of the Tomb King Amanam Horton.
According to the old bone, the dagger came from the mysterious Chaos Lich Priestess Karitaman, and it was clear that the skeleton mage had a close relationship with Egreem, and perhaps there was some special connection between the two.
In addition, when the stone saw this symbol on the dagger, he felt familiar, it was very likely that he had seen it in his previous life, and if he asked Rip to find it according to this, maybe he could gain something.
Of course, these are purely Shishi's own speculations, and now he has no other clues, so he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
Fortunately, in the past few years, he has been paying attention to the construction of the intelligence network, and now it is not only the border prince's territory, but also the intelligence network of the "Forgive Mercenary Group" in several other big cities in the Old World, Aldolph, Nunn, Fort Marion and other places, and now it can come in handy, anyway, money is not a problem, as long as the whereabouts of the little bell can be found, the stone is willing to pay all the gold coins.
It's a pity that so far, neither a few of them nor the mysterious symbol have received any useful news.
Stone had to temporarily turn his attention to other places, such as the development of his territory, but even so, he would still think of the little bell from time to time.
Just as he was once again caught up in the emotional memories that Greenskin shouldn't have, a series of messages suddenly popped up in the system, and finally forced his mind back to rational thinking.
