Chapter 480: The Awakened Shadow Thief Guild (Part II)
All the officers of the Sheriff's Bureau were dispatched, and the Watchman, Grey Palm, as Kylburn. The organization directly under the Black Rod Lord's Mansion got the news when the personnel of the Public Security Bureau were transferred.
The Watchman's headquarters is located at the top of the Deep Water Mountains, where there is a huge military castle overlooking the city and the sea.
Scarlett, a female mage. Paladin is currently the de facto administrator of the Warden Order, and her father, Iverios the Order, was in charge of the Lord's Mansion after the couple traveled.
An intelligence message was on the desk. Scarlett sat in her chair with her arms crossed, her eyebrows furrowed.
Lauren, the chief of the Sheriff's Department, has always been known for his cold, resolute work style inside City Hall. It is necessary to have means to maintain law and order in the city, and Lauren has not carried out similar large-scale searches before, but in the past, on the basis of accurate intelligence information, the area was demarcated, and the other areas were not affected as much as possible.
However, this large-scale search is particularly strange, the personnel of the four sub-bureaus are all dispatched and scattered in the four urban areas, regardless of it, but all those whose identities are somewhat suspicious have been arrested and examined, if this trend continues for two or three days, the entire Waterdeep City will probably be made panicked.
So, Scarlett thought it was strange.
There was no reason why the dignitaries of the city hall could not see the consequences of the search, but they insisted on going their own way. Aside from being aggressive, Scarlett couldn't find a reason to explain Lauren's actions.
Scarlett simply didn't want to, the Watchman and the Sheriff's Bureau were not an agency, and she couldn't manage that.
Turning her eyes to the other piece of information on the table, a smile rose at the corner of Scarlett's mouth: "In nearly half a month, that Holy Coming priest has returned from Moonshadow Island. It seems that he has completed the trial of piety. ”
"Let's go see Master Adrian first, that guy will rush to the master's residence later."
Thinking. Scarlett got up and put on a robe. Get out of the castle. Drop to the city below the mountain with 'flying arts'.
……
Today, the dock is still bustling with people.
Standing under the staircase bridge of the Dragonroar's main ship, Charles said goodbye to Alamil and Delori.
"Ms. DeLori, please give serious consideration to my proposal. The power of your Ipgir family in the inland sea is not enough, there are only two fleets. The situation in the inland sea is more complicated than the open sea, and the islands are more ferocious, and if my proposal can be realized, it will be a win-win situation for the Ipgir family and the Nordahir team. ”
With these words, Charles left the mooring area with two delicate little loli.
Of course, he still has a lot of things in mind about the construction of the fleet. And the Ipugil family, who have a total of five large fleets at their disposal, have terrible resources in this regard.
Shipbuilding requires docks, craftsmen, materials, etc., these are not things that Nordasir can provide, the only thing Charles can promise at the moment is money, countless gold coins, and he only used a very small part of Isaac's treasure, which is equivalent to grabbing a handful of rice in a rice tank. Almost no impact.
That's why Charles dared to tell Deloree that he was paying. Ipgill will contribute to the joint construction of a fleet, and both parties will be responsible for the daily maintenance and revenue at that time.
Walking on the dock street with Thea and Leila, the return rate is extremely high, the two little goddesses, one in a white dress and one in a black dress, are like exquisite crafts, not human beings. Some pedestrians and women looked at Charles with strange eyes, and subconsciously stayed away from him, thinking that his legendary puppeteer specialized in making such human puppets to satisfy strange fetishes.
"Stop!"
The trio bumped into a city patrol who was conducting a big search.
These inspectors were dressed in uniform leather armor, with a white eagle feather stuck obliquely on their leather hats, or holding swords or carrying knives, all of them were full of lean and capable air.
The young man who looked like the captain stopped Charles, glanced at Xia and Leila with wary eyes, and asked, "You just got off the boat?" Where do you come from? Why come to Waterdeep? ”
Stunned by this series of interrogations, Charles swept through the dozen or so inspectors on the street, without thinking of making a move, and replied truthfully: "I am the priest of Ogmar, from Cormier, and I am the guardian of these two ladies. ”
"Ma'am?" The captain of the patrol frowned, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Please answer my question seriously, don't try to prevaricate!" ”
"Uh......"
Charles cried out in his heart, and the patrol captain thought he had a bad attitude. After much to explain that this would be a waste of time, Charles simply took out the gold emblem and said, "This is my emblem." ”
The pedestrians on the street and the dozen or so city inspectors around them were stunned when they saw the holy emblem.
"You're a priest?" The patrol captain didn't give an inch, stared at Charles and said coldly, "This is impossible. No church allows the Coming to be a priest, and your emblem is a copy! ”
The authenticity of the emblem is actually very easy to distinguish, not to mention who is full of food and support, and risks blasphemy to forge a fake emblem that is easy to be seen.
Odd. Charles stared slightly, with a faint feeling of being targeted.
"His true camp is hidden, this is an evil cultist who neutralizes evil." At this time, his ears received the sound of the phantom goddess Leila using a spell.
"Hey, this is a wanderer who has worked part-time as a warrior, and the sacrifice is too great. If he specializes in wanderers, he may already be on the realm of exemplars......" Thea, the god of decay and depravity, also voiced.
Straggler?
Charles keenly grasped this keyword, and the blocked train of thought immediately cleared.
The memory of the last time he fled from Waterdeep and was almost marked and shot by the Flame Thrower, his eyes turned cold.
"This is the real Ogmar Emblem!" Charles raised the gold emblem and let the sacred thing in his hand shine in the sun, looked directly at the captain of the patrol and said, "You can slander me, target me, or even kill me, but you can't insult my emblem and my faith. The divine might of Ogma, the god of knowledge, cannot be blasphemed! ”
These bland but resounding words moved many city inspectors, and they subconsciously took a few steps back to make way for a road.
The patrol captain has a heart on targeting the Charles, but the other inspectors are not stupid and think they can see the authenticity of the emblem. They didn't want to offend a priest holding a gold emblem, which would be tantamount to directly provoking the Church of God.
Charles glanced at the patrol captain, his face indifferent, and left the street with Thea and Leila.
A lurker of the Shadow Thieves Guild he doesn't care about yet.
And even if this lurker sends back information to the Shadow Thief Stronghold, it will take some time for the Shadow Thief Guild to organize people to assassinate him in broad daylight. However, Charles didn't plan to stay in Waterdeep for long, and after submitting the advanced mission to Master Adrian, he prepared to quickly return to Cormier through the portal.
However, Charles didn't know that this time the Shadow Thieves Guild had only one person to assassinate him! (To be continued.) )
