Chapter 87: Intelligence (1)

Stella Thomas's lecture record (5):

With a longing for the church, Elena began to learn some of the Ella prayers from Anastasia. Truth be told, it was too much for Elena, who had only learned to read six prayers and write only one of them for more than a week.

I myself wasn't that fond of the church, and I always felt that there was something beneath its bright exterior—ever since I had stumbled upon a page of the Running Wolf's Notebook that had been secretly hidden by the Master.

Anastasia seems to have developed a feeling for Lord Gerald, the Blazing Servant, and I think it's dangerous. But Anastasia is almost an adult, and I can't just say it, I have to think of a way.

However, that was all after the old man came back. I'm going to focus on our course now.

Today, let's get to know the fantastical creatures of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce.

Thrurmon: Constructed from carrion and wearing masks made from scrap coins, Thrullmons are at the lowest level of the Orzhov class. They are the servants of the magic creation, they serve their masters, pick up and deliver letters, or guard the entrance to the temple. Experienced Throwl makers can create large Throwl to perform strange tasks - as flying vehicles, coachmen, or mobile vaults. Some of the Orzhov elite used thrullmons as fashionable accessories, chaining them to chains and carrying them with them like pets.

"Oh! It's disgusting! To be honest, I can't understand this hobby. Sunderland made a sound of disgust, though I thought so too.

"That's because you've been with the orcs for too long, Sunderland." Elena said in a somewhat teasing tone.

Angel: Unfettered power. Angels are a rare species in the Orzhov Guild. Blazing Acolytes are often the embodiment of faith and collection, so most angels are averse to being associated with guilds of wealth and greed. But the angels of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce are actually fundamentally different from the Blazing Divine Servants. These creatures, known as angels, were actually born from the graveyard by imbuing sinful souls with a kind of beast-like man. Orzhov Angels can serve as executioners, commanders, bishops, or other high-ranking positions, but they usually tend to make their own work plans. Angels always soar alone according to their wishes and complete their tasks brilliantly and mercilessly.

"These angels are beasts too?" Sunderland looked a little angry.

Not anymore, since they were infused with greedy souls, they were no longer humans or orcs. I replied to the angry young man.

Spirit: An undead debt claimant. When a member of the Orzhov Guild dies, the debts he or she owes to the guild are usually not paid. Serving the guild to the death is the price of entering the guild, which also makes the Orzhov guild lead thousands of spirit minions. Note that the situation of these spirit debt claimants is completely different from that of the council members of Ojieda, who have obtained immortality. Only the debtors of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce will be turned into spirits after death. And when these indebted spirits pay off their debts, the members of Ojenda will grant them pain to their souls for relief.

"When people die, how do they become spirits?" Joshua had been thinking about this since the beginning. But I didn't give him an answer, because I didn't know the answer either. Don't say it's me, not even Mr. Michael has talked about it. But I told Joshua a folklore: members of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce, especially accountants, are said to sign an ancient, mana-based pact when they join the club. This contract stipulates that if a member of Orzhov uses Orzhov's resources or buys or uses a product or service from Orzhov, a small piece of the contractor's soul will be torn apart at the moment the contract is formed.

When the body of the contractor dies, this small piece of soul becomes a beacon, extraditing the souls that are about to leave the body into a flesh golem, and eventually form a spirit. Unlike Zombies, these spirits are pulled by the Goddess of Life or the green and white mana incarnation. Therefore, they are more painful than zombies. However, with these sufferings comes the ability to retain all the memories of life.

Joshua was fascinated by the legend and knew that he had been thinking about it since the end of class.

"Jailer, serve Mr. Pickey a glass of water." Joseph saw a weak Picsi and asked the jailer to take care of him a little.

"All right, Mr. Picksy. Please drink a little water and tell us what you know. I would like to remind you, however, that what we need is all the information you know, including what Miss Joséphine has confessed. A good attitude increases our trust in each other and is the basis of our cooperation, right, Mr. Pickey? Michael played a trick and continued to seduce Pixi.

Picxi took a sip of water, then curled up vigorously and asked in a low voice, "How do I know what Miss Josephine has said, sir?" ”

"Just say it, we have our own considerations - don't play tricks." Kyurem said.

"Okay, then, let's start with this operation."

Picksey Inquiry Record (1):

Name?

Picxi.

Age?

33 years old.

Occupation?

Farmer, thief, Gruul subversive.

What to do in Zammir?

Engaged in riot planning activities and controlled arms transport. Rurik, the Gruul Ghor chief, kidnapped my son as a threat to take me into the rebellion in the Zamir territory and instructed me to transport the crossbow alone.

Tell us about your members.

The leader is Miss Josephine, the members are me, the troll Golmar, and Pierce.

Is it just the four of you?

No, there are only four of us in the leadership, but our assistants and other low-ranking Gruul members have not been captured by you.

Where are the others?

Our members are divided into three parts, each of which is independently dispatched and commanded. Miss Josephine is in charge, I'm in charge, Pierce is in charge. Each of us knows only what part of us is in charge of.

Miss Josephine's men were responsible for plotting riots and carrying out violence and murder in villages and towns. My men were in charge of a secret transport mission—a task that was originally in charge of Gauma, but in the middle of the process, Gauma became Miss Josephine's bodyguard, and Pierce's men were responsible for smashing and looting the property of the village.

My men were stationed in two parts, a total of 97 people. Of these, 40 were stationed in Onion Tun, and the other 57 were scattered between Qingxi Town and Neverwinter Town.

How do we identify these men of yours?

They all have white hemp ropes tied around their left wrists, and they are all my men. I was the leader of the "White Thieves" led by Sandre, and these 97 people were all my men. I hope you don't kill them, they were all farmers in the first place, but because of the drought of the two years in Sandre, the farmer's family is not doing well, and the local lords have collected a lot of taxes - they can't help it, they can't live if they don't become thieves.

We try not to hurt them, but it depends on your efforts, and if we take you with us, will you be able to convince them not to resist?

How will they be punished?

According to the laws of the Zamir Territory, if they have not committed any criminal acts in the Zamir Territory and have not offended the aristocratic class, they will be given 5 lashes on the back for their current crimes, and then they will be sent to the idle land of the Zanmir Territory to farm.

The Slava lords allowed them to be self-sufficient and provide crop seeds, and they were not taxed for the first year, but for the second and third years they were taxed an extra tithe.

Of course, they can also choose to become hired laborers, and the law of the Zamir Territory states that the hired workers are in charge of two meals a day, one is breakfast in the morning and the main meal in the evening, and depending on the type of work, they can get at least one copper per day, only more, but not less.

Thank you very much for the kindness of Lord Slava, I will go with you, I promise that they will not resist!
