Now, three days after the robbery of High Overseer Gambol, Dunwall, which had gained a bit of morbid vitality as a result of the raid, is gradually returning to its previous lifeless appearance.

The wine district has also been visited by the officers of the city police in the past three days, and the new regional speaker, the Holy Scouts, has inevitably been carefully interrogated, but the sensible gang immediately expressed their support and respect for the city police force, and as a sign of this respect, they gave the city police men a rich greeting gift.

The girls hooked the necks of the city policemen, stuffed a lot of gold coins into their trouser pockets, and put their little hands into their crotches... When it's all over, it's hard for the loyal guardians of these cities to pull down their faces and get about their business.

They took it for granted that what could this matter have to do with the Holy Scouts? A new gang that had risen strongly, and had enough to deal with on its own, how could they have time to plan such a big event as the assassination of the High Overseer? Besides, they really didn't find any evidence.

Lao Wang took the time to complete his second world exploration mission in these three days - 'Let's run errands', Takenaka guessed correctly, Madame Rag did know a lot of runestones possible hiding places, just in the wine-making area, there are about 6 or 7 places where runestones may appear.

The current Holy Scouts in the brewing area are dominant, and the charismatic warriors are basically green lights wherever they go, with the approximate location provided by Mrs. Rag, and after Lao Wang arrived, he cooperated with the beating of the rune heart to point out the specific direction, and it didn't take much effort to collect 3 rune stones for the outsider.

In addition to these simple things, Lao Wang and Takenaka also officially visited the dog fighting bar at Corvo's recommendation, and the two met with the leaders of the royalist party to formalize the alliance.

However, these seemingly serious things are essentially just a disguise, and in less than a week, Lao Wang and Takenaka will return to a random space, and the Holy Scouts look amazing, for Lao Wang and Takenaka, they are really outside the body, and their value may not be as good as a prop that can bring out the humiliating world.

It's not a business that rushes up, even if it's a cloud of smoke, it will still cause unnecessary suspicion if it's too cheap, so when it comes to specific operations, Takenaka still seriously negotiated with the royalists, bargained, and made everything very real.

There is a bamboo face outside, and a real person like Lao Wang is wholeheartedly inside, he did not make a fool of himself at the negotiation table, but chose to meet the old man Isaac directly.

As the character who opened the interaction value of Lao Wang in the humiliating world, Baron Isaac was not only happy but also shocked when he saw Lao Wang.

This can't blame the baron's lack of knowledge, but the Mark Mason in front of him is too amazing, except for being a big bald scoop, there is no difference from ordinary people from the skin alone, this is no longer a simple matter of resilience, Isaac has no doubt that if there is an old old man from the Inquisition on the scene, it is possible to burn Mark directly.

Because of this, Lao Wang also received a warning from the old girl in the space: "Warning: Selector No. 95270 Wang Mancang, please note that Baron Isaac, your interactive character in the Humiliation World, has become suspicious of you, please calm the other party's emotions as soon as possible, if the other party continues to be suspicious of you, you will lose all interaction points with the interactive character." ”

Lao Wang's solution to this problem is also very simple, Isaac's mad scientists are generally donkeys, leading and going backwards, you give him the problem clearly, hard to explain, he doesn't buy it, the best way to deal with this kind of fierce seed is to be a little mysterious, let him come to explore and discover by himself, and leave enough space for him to ponder, so that he can be down-to-earth.

Wang Mancang threw out some kind of semi-theological and semi-scientific explanation for Isaac's recovery ability, implicitly mentioning magical powers and parallel world theories, claiming that the medical technology of the other world had an impact on him.

In order to increase credibility, he also used a little recovery prop as evidence, and sure enough, this hand was high, and directly suppressed Isaac, not that he lost all his doubts about Lao Wang, but the research and curiosity in his mind now have suppressed his doubts very well, and of course continue to be an interactive character of Lao Wang.

The alarm is lifted, and the conversation between the two can be carried out within the normal range, Isaac's interaction value can be increased by providing hobbies in addition to completing the task, Takenaka picked out some mechanical parts and in-demand metal materials from the loot of the wine gang, and handed them to Isaac by Wang Mancang, and exchanged them for a total of 65 interaction points, so that the interaction value of Lao Wang and Baron Isaac also officially exceeded 100, reaching 115 points.

There was still time left for the meeting with the royalists this time, and Lao Wang took this opportunity to look at Isaac's interactive value exchange items, and his focus was naturally on skill-based firearms.

After some picking, Lao Wang locked on his target exchange:

"Privateer with a gun (modified): A high-quality weapon (off-hand firearm), equipped with a required strength of 8, agility 6, spirit 5, agility +1 after equipping, spirit +1, this weapon is a skill weapon, requires an interaction value of 100 points, and a universal prop that can be used in the world of humiliation and trial.

Weapon damage 8~15+0, skill weapons, damage does not count attribute point correction value.

Weapon Enhancement Limit 10 times, Gem Slot x3 (open at Weapon Initial, Weapon +6, and Weapon +10, respectively)

Description: The skill-based short handcuff modified by the genius scientist Isaac based on the Whale Oil Privateer's rifle completely changes the firing mechanism, so it is more suitable for use with firearm skills, and if it is used to deal damage, it will not have such a good effect. ”

That's it, Lao Wang pondered and pondered, and chose to exchange directly, but there are still 20% of the royal ministers who need to be convinced, I don't know what will happen, even if his gun is not a real skill, it always doesn't hurt to use it early, and according to his and Takenaka's plan, in the entire humiliation world, Isaac's favor is no longer needed, and unlike Takenaka, Lao Wang's interaction value doesn't need to stay too long.

After exchanging the guns, the negotiations between Takenaka and the royalists also ended, and the agreement reached between the two sides was needless to say, anyway, it was painless.

There is only one thing worth mentioning, in order to lobby for the mission, Takenaka offered to offer the Holy Scouts to infiltrate the inner city of Dunwall again and help the royalists deliver letters to the trusted ministers of the court, which moved Admiral Haflo and Lord Penderton very much, and immediately wrote several secret letters to be passed on to Takenaka.

Corvo stayed in the dog bar, did not continue to follow Lao Wang and Takenaka, and the rest of the task was only to lobby the royal minister, and it didn't matter if Corvo showed up.

Dunwall City, Inner City.

Although the aftermath of the High Overseer's interception a few days ago has not subsided, the extent of its impact has become limited.

The Regent's government said in a statement that the Supreme Overseer was plotted and killed by enemies outside the empire, and its purpose was to obtain the empire's military secrets.

Wang and Takenaka once again entered the inner city of Dunwall through the smuggling tunnel, and their previous contact with the royalists allowed them to obtain more information about the Imperial government, for example, the number of Imperial Ministers was 137, which meant that Wang and Takenaka had to say that at least 28 of them believed that Corvo was innocent.

The so-called royal ministers are the political core forces involved in the major policies of the empire, a simple analogy, they can be understood as parliamentarians of the British and American countries, these people are political elites, it is quite difficult to convince, however, Lao Wang They are not sad enough to need to persuade 28 unknown targets one by one.

First of all, Takenaka just deceived the recipients of the letters under the banner of delivering letters, they are all adults who can be sure that they have had a personal relationship with Admiral Haflo or Lord Penderton, and the solution of these people goes without saying, as long as the letters of the two royalist leaders are successfully delivered to the hands of the target people, they can basically be guaranteed to be convinced, but there are very few such characters, because there are only 4 secret letters.

Secondly, there are many people among the royal ministers who are diehards of the royal family, and now Princess Emily's whereabouts are unknown, and the gesture of the regent is to find the orphans of the royal family with all his might, he is just following the orders of the late queen to govern the government on his behalf, therefore, these adults of the royal family have also temporarily decided to help the regent govern the country, once the real blood of the royal family has a whereabouts, they are definitely the first to raise their hands to support, for them, as long as there is evidence, it is still easy to convince, there are about 10 of these people.

In fact, they may not be able to see the mystery of the Empress's assassination and Corvo's imprisonment, but in order to avoid political turmoil and keep their glory and wealth to continue to enjoy, they fell directly to the regent after the regent came to power, and became a tool for the regent's governance, there are about 70 of these people.

The remaining royal ministers are all die-hard loyalists of the regent, and they were his political allies when he planned to kill the queen, and the regent's smooth rise to power can be said to have contributed to them, so it is completely unnecessary to lobby them.

After such calculations, what Lao Wang and Takenaka need to say is that the 14 people in the wall-riding faction, whether it is coercion or lure, although this number still seems to be a bit much, but compared with 28, it has been reduced by half, and the rest must rely on the means of Lao Wang and Takenaka.

The original information of the royalists, coupled with the extensive collection of the little sparrows in the Holy Scouts in the past few days, Lao Wang and Takenaka preliminarily identified 20 people from the wall-riding faction to carry out key lobbying, and these people all have some commonalities, such as having political ambitions, thirsting for greater political capital, and having ulterior desires, etc., they will be the best breakthrough.

is about to face long-term activities in Dunwall City, Lao Wang and Takenaka put on makeup again, in addition to the two, they also brought Lilith, a little girl who often mixes in the inner city of Dunwall, to participate in the action, don't look at this child's age, but the behavior pattern is quite mature, and the person is also very smart, which is a good helper.

Although the sewer space in Dunwall City is large, there is still a narrow part of the connection between the house and the main drainage system, at this time, it is necessary to have a small child enter it to clean up, so this kind of industry is often based on the family unit, and the father or uncle takes the children in the clan to do business together, two small and one large and three people, so it is most convenient to move.

In order to avoid the recurrence of the last time he pretended to be a "conjoined box", Lao Wang specially made up for the customs of Dunwall City, the habits and rules of all walks of life to Lilith, and tried to confuse the real with the fake.

The storm in the search of the city gradually subsided, but the curfew time was still enforced, so the three of them chose to enter the city at three o'clock in the afternoon, pretending to sell sewer cleaning services along the streets, and marched directly to the rich district of Dunwall.

The Iron Mask Overseer and the Municipal Police Force may have been a little listless about their patrol tasks because of the recent work intensity, and their eyes swept over the three of Lao Wang, so they didn't bother to look at it anymore, and the lobbying team did not encounter any danger along the road and successfully arrived at the mission area.

The three of them completed the easiest part first--sent the secret letters of Admiral Haflo and Lord Penderton to their life and death one by one, and the action went smoothly, just as they did when they sneaked into the city today, the four adults saw the letter and immediately showed their attitude, coupled with the explanation of Lao Wang and Takenaka, they immediately expressed their attitude, they will continue to be false with the regent, secretly waiting for the opportunity, as long as the royalists help Amy's public highness to ascend the throne, they will immediately express their public support in the court.

Don't worry about them lying, Lao Wang, every time they hand over a letter, they will receive a task prompt, and the information bar shows "task progress 4/28 (137*20%) in the fixed task c", a few simple numbers have explained the problem, 20% of the number of people is 28 people, and there are 4 people who have successfully believed in Corvo.

After that, the three of them became familiar with it and continued to lobby the next simple 10 royal diehards, which was slightly more difficult than the previous task of simply delivering letters, and the key point was to grasp the mentality of these people.

It doesn't matter if the loyal courtiers may disagree with the leaders of the Loyalists and Corvo, as long as their loyalty to the empire and the royal family is unquestionable, so the choice of the three kings is to show evidence that Gambol and the regent spread the plague and kill the queen, which will provoke the anger of these loyal subjects, and everything will fall into place.

Regardless of whether they have a good impression of Corvo or not, but at least, on the point of supporting Princess Emily to the throne, the opinions of both sides are unified, the evidence is Gambor's confession, which is directly displayed through the crystal ball, and the three sewer cleaners successfully lobbied again, and the number of mission progress has also become "14/28 (137*20%)".
