Chapter 124: The Skinning Incident at Baldur's Gate (Fifth Watch)

The Holy Maiden carried everyone to Sword Bay, and Goode only had to take care of sending Yacoste and them to Baldur's Gate, and then, according to the agreement, the old captain could leave with the Saint Maiden and the half-elf Juggernam had given him the reward before.

"You ...... What does that mean? ”

Then the headache for Acoste was far from over, when the elven magic battleship and the saint were handed over, Aryan and Jennifer boarded the ship with the silver and white knights and the silver battle mage regiment as if no one was around, they were going to prepare to walk with the half-elves.

This is the direct force of the Nightshade family, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the personal soldiers of the Acoste and Lavis families.

As a very simple example, if you ask the other elves on Eternal Island if they had to choose between the princess and the corryon, then 99% of them would choose the elven god over the queen.

But this is not the case with these family guards, they are the 1% of people, even if Acoste wants them to break away from the belief of the Elven King now, they will not hesitate to do it......

Aaron and Jennifer swore an oath in the royal city that they were willing to give up their identity as elves of Eternal Gathering Island and follow the half-elves and Lavis to the ends of the earth, so the two elves were still expected by Acoste, but Antonidas also came with him, which made Acoste very incomprehensible.

"Aren't you the head of the mage group on Polasen Island, is it really good for you to leave the defense over there like this?"

"Of course it's no problem, there's the Golden Dragon Knights over there, and isn't there that old guy here, so it should be okay for me to take a few months off from my old bones......"

Antonidas didn't look embarrassed at all, he didn't blush and said something he wanted to be lazy when he was old.

"Alas...... I can't help you ......."

The Half-Elf Sword Saint sighed, but this legendary old mage also helped him a little, so he didn't necessarily have to drive him back by himself.

After a few days of calm and calm, the Virgen of Acoste was once again anchored at the port of Baldur's Gate.

But a strange thing happened, that is, when they just got off the ship, there were countless Flame Fist mercenary groups who were ready to attack and surrounded their group.

"What do you want to do to His Royal Highness?!"

Of course, Yalian and Jennifer couldn't bear it, and the two of them instantly took their subordinates to surround the Yanquan mercenary group, don't look at the total number of people on their side is only 377 people, and there seem to be five or six hundred people on the opposite side, but if the two sides really fight, it is estimated that the guards of the entire Baldur's Gate are not their opponents.

It is true that the Flame Fist Mercenary Regiment is the most powerful guard force in the entire West Hartland, all of them have professional ranks, and their equipment is also of magical quality, but if you really want to compare them with the elite guards of Eternal Gathering Island, they are still countless grades worse.

After all, just two legendary-level people, Yalian and Jennifer, were enough for them to drink a pot.

"Forget it, Aaron."

Seeing that the elves on his side were about to make a move, and the Yanquan mercenary group on the opposite side did not back down for some ulterior reasons, when the two sides were about to face each other, Acoste came out in time to stop it.

"I'm Acoste Chris, Lord of the Starry Night Lords of West Hartland, what the hell is going on here, and why is it so heavily guarded now?"

The Half-Elf Swordmaster took out the Order of Nobility from his bosom and threw it over, and now that the Starry Night Collar has replaced Baldur's Gate as the number one in the West Hartland region, almost everyone in this land knows the family crest of Acoste.

"It's Lord Earl, I'm sorry, please forgive us for our rudeness."

The identity of the elven prince of Yongju Island is not easy to use here, but the identity of the starry night lord earl is that the guards suddenly put down their weapons.

"My lord, due to the recent appearance of cultist activities in Baldur's Gate, they have caused many tragedies in the city's dock area, so we have strengthened our vigilance here!"

"Cultists? What's going on? ”

Yacoste was immediately interested, calculating the time, and now it was time for the little mice hiding behind the scenes to make waves.

"That's right, Lord Count, we've found countless corpses in the city one after another, but ...... However, they were all skinned, and they were all accompanied by bizarre characters written in the blood of their victims. ”

"Peeling?! ……”

The half-elf's tone raised eight steps, and as if he had thought of something, he took the other party's hand and said solemnly.

"You haven't destroyed the crime environment over there, take me over and have a look!"

When it comes to skinning, in addition to a few cultists who believe in a few ancient evil gods, the most reminiscent of them are the dark elves living in the dark region.

Since the defeat of the Crown War, these elves who have migrated to the underground are still as noble and elegant as their expressions, but they contain heinous evil and perversion in this elegance, and no one can imagine how high their achievements are in the art of torture, and the horror of mortals such as skinning is nothing more than a child in the eyes of the dark elves......

The second thing that can be reminiscent of is the demons in the abyss, but they are a little lower in the level of torture methods such as skinning, if the dark elves regard skinning as an art, then the demons do it all because of their brutal nature, they don't pay attention to skinning at all, many times because the craftsmanship is too poor, people die before the skin is finished, but they still enjoy it.

"Well, Lord Count, do you know the identity of those cultists?"

On the way there, the squad leader of the Yanquan Mercenary Regiment named Kachite asked curiously, knowing that they were exhausted by that group of guys these days, but no matter how much they strengthened their patrols, there would still be a victim every day.

This kind of thing made the Baldur's Gate rumor for a while, and although there were no victims in the City Gate District now, the big merchants and nobles were still very panicked.

When you know that there is a murderer who has committed a series of vicious crimes and is still committing crimes, but the police are powerless, you can truly experience this feeling of powerlessness.

However, during this time, the most pressure was on the group of Yanquan mercenary groups.

The upper echelons kept putting pressure on them, and the civilians at the bottom were suspicious of them, but they just couldn't catch these little mice, so you can imagine how sad and angry they were in their hearts.

Now that he heard that Acoste seemed to be a little eyebrow-raising, their group of guards who were not human inside and outside immediately burst into laughter, eager to offer the half-elf as if they were their own grandfather. (To be continued.) )
