Chapter 36: Ludwig's Sacred Scepter

Rushing out of the ruins, Shepard did not stop, but went all the way east to find a village, booked a room in the village's tavern, and planned to go to the nearby dock early the next morning to find a boat to set off.

In the humble room of the tavern, he looked at the harvest with a beaming face.

[Ludwig's holy scepter, this powerful enchanted weapon can be called an artifact, it once accompanied the powerful paladin Ludwig to kill demons, and received divine grace, until Ludwig chose to die with the Countess of the Ghost Woman because of guilt, Lansender took away Ludwig's soul that can be called the Holy Spirit, but left this powerful weapon behind]

[Pale Bloodstone, a sacred artifact of an ancient organization that believed in a powerful god with an unknown reputation, and superstition hid great power in their blood, and they obtained it during a sacrifice that nearly destroyed the Order, but the Order vanished shortly after]

Weak divine power is not enough to break the plane barrier to travel, and even the plan to establish a divine kingdom can only start until medium divine power, so all Shepard believers who have died are still in the empty underworld in the New World, relying on the divine power he provides to maintain the existence of their souls.

Therefore, although this scepter is extremely suitable for the use of the main body, it can only be placed here by the clone first, and when he returns to the New World, it can be handed over to the main body.

Shepard frowned and said to himself, "I didn't think about it before, so that guy should have a storage prop on him...... It's a pity, I don't know what it is. ”

The usual storage items are also enchanted items, but in addition to the common bag shape, there are also many people who refine this thing into buttons, wallets, walking sticks, belts, etc., unless the Morel is cleaned and inspected, which is obviously impossible.

This was something that didn't have to be forced, Shepard thought about it and tossed it aside, but he glanced at the dark red bloodstone on the table, but there was a look of disgust on his face.

This thing is a god of the undead, even the weaker Grim Reaper will be moved by this creation with strange powers, if you encounter some special NPCs, you may be able to exchange rich rewards, but for most players, there is little use, often can only be exchanged with some special players, such as necromancers.

"It's a pity, I wasn't interested in this piece in my previous life, and I haven't brushed this picture, but I didn't expect to get this first kill reward this time."

Shepard pinched his chin with one hand and looked at the Bloodstone Block to think, the castle in the game is a copy, but only the first kill has a chance to burst the [Pale Bloodstone Block] with the prefix, and then only the [Bloodstone Block] will be fought later.

Now that it's the real world, whether there will be a second monster in the ruins of the castle is two words, except for the semi-independent space in the hall and this monster, there is nothing else in the castle, and it doesn't match the nature of his power, and Shepard is not interested in continuing to search there.

"Forget it, let's put it away first."

Empty a purse and pack the Pale Bloodstone, which might come in handy if you want to deal with a god of the Death family or otherworldly creatures one day, but until then you can only make a collection.

Packed up his things, attached his divine power to the door as a reinforcement and warning, and went to bed peacefully to sleep, as for what to do with Morel and his party, who were cut off halfway by him or injured or disabled, naturally he didn't have to worry about it.

"Captain, I'm going somewhere."

"Where are the guests going?"

"One is thirty miles to the east, thirteen miles to the south, obscured by tall trees, and there is a towering statue."

The captain of the merchant ship, who was dressed in some old clothes and looked very shrewd, was stunned when he heard this, he looked up and down at the stranger in front of him, who was strong, carrying a bow and arrows and two long swords, and a scepter hanging from his waist, and said in a muffled voice for a while: "Then the guest get on the ship, I will call you when you get to the place." ”

Shepard smiled and handed over the fare to the first mate on the side, what he just said was an incision, a code word belonging to the thieves' union in the Iss River area of the Tesser Kingdom, due to the suppression of the Church of the Good God, the thieves' union and the Assassin Brotherhood had a hard time in Tether, but where there is light, there is darkness, which is almost inevitable, so the dark forces have also developed their own ways of trading.

Shepard stepped onto the deck, it was still dark, and the sailors were diligently cleaning the deck or mending the gaps, busily waiting for the order to leave.

When the hour came, the captain gave the order, the sails were puffed up, and the wind left the little dock.

When the sun had passed its highest point and began to set on the other side, the merchant ship came to a halt at the wharf of a dilapidated fishing village, and Shepard stepped out of the boat, looking at the desolate and nameless fishing village, only four or five of which were still intact, and three or two of which were rotten and ruined.

However, these are only appearances, this is one of the three largest thieves' guild bazaars in the upper and lower reaches of the Isis River, not a stronghold, but a place where the guild does business, except not above ground, but underground.

As the main road of the deserted village led to the pier, Shepard followed the road, past the ruined houses on either side, and stopped at a ruin on the outermost edge of the fishing village, and found a barrel with stones on it, and he removed it, revealing a swarthy hole below.

After waiting for a while and hearing no movement, Shepard walked in, but there was a paved staircase inside, and he moved the barrel blocking the hole with his backhand.

There was no need for a light source, the dark tunnel was clear in his eyes, and he first went down the spiral staircase four or five meters away, and in front of him was an equally black tunnel, but when he reached the end of the tunnel, there was an iron door blocking it.

A short figure in a black robe blocked there, and from the gap, you can see that there is not a small space behind this figure, and there is also a light source illuminating it, so that people can see some scale-like things under the black robe, it seems that it is not human.

"The darkness is ever." A hoarse voice sounded from under the black robe, mixed with some strange hissing sounds.

"Silence is golden." Shepard glanced at the black-robed, lizardman?

The diminutive figure of the lizardman stepped back, opened the iron door, and handed Shepard a black robe similar to his from the inconspicuous cabinet next to him.

Shepard took it in silence, he didn't think of this kind of place to hide his identity, but fortunately, no one knew him in the New World, and the thieves' union in charge of this side was well prepared.

Dressed in a black robe and hooded to keep most of his face in shadow, Shepard looked left and right, and saw a long inconspicuous cabinet on the right, a little dark under the light of the torches on the wall, but the tall thin black robe standing behind the counter had a bloody dagger on his chest.

'Brotherhood people? It seems that this is their territory just like in the game. Shepard just glanced at it and retracted his gaze, in the previous life, many players who mainly attacked the thief or assassin profession in the game did a lot of tasks here, and someone posted a post analyzing that this stronghold should be controlled by the Thieves Guild and the Assassin Brotherhood, mainly in the hands of the Brotherhood.

From a few familiar signs and shops, I saw that this place actually looked like an underground cave, and the walkway was also inclined downward, but it had been transformed, and only a few shops were opened here at some distance, and a few people set up stalls in the center of this space, quite far away from each other.

About a dozen people in the same black robes walked around, occasionally walking into a certain shop looking for what they wanted, or looking at the stalls, silently, and even if there was a conversation, it was a very small voice.

This is also the current situation of the dark forces in Tether, except for the territory of the dark forces in those cities, this kind of wild bazaar is far less prosperous than in other countries, Shepard looked around, and there are only three or five people suspected of being unionists, and they are basically in a state of permissiveness.

Not looking around to attract attention, he only bowed his head slightly, and passed a strange shop that smelled of blood and decay, and a small shop with some very strange sculptures, and stopped outside a shop that looked clean on the outside, and had no strange decorations, and walked slowly in.
