The hotel where Qin Lun and the others stayed in Silver Moon City was the famous "Golden Oak".

The Golden Oak is located on the north bank of the River Levon River, in the middle of an alley called the Dancing Mask. There are comfortable guest rooms dressed up in country houses, vanilla-scented fern bonsai on windowsills, elegant and beautiful oak furniture made of hard, clear-grained wood, and tables, chairs, and benches painted with a layer of resin that feel great to the touch.

The windows of all the rooms in the inn face the central courtyard, where there is a towering ancient oak tree, the huge canopy of which shrouds the whole courtyard in shade, and the bright lanterns hang from every branch in the sky, which corresponds to the tea table under the lamp, where a cup of morning tea or evening wine becomes a complete indulgence.

Because of Theonlia, the goddess of sprouts, this place is loved by druids, forest rangers, elves, and those who don't like to be disturbed or prefer peace and quiet. Although the price of drinking tea in the courtyard is relatively expensive, because you can get the best service, there is still a constant stream of customers every day.

The "Golden Oak" environment makes it seem as if you are sleeping in a safe and comfortable corner of the forest, and they have prepared some reception rooms for guests who rent upstairs rooms. In addition, there is a nice lounge bar on the basement level for those who want to have a good chat.

However, Qin Lun and the others chose this hotel to stay, naturally not because of its reputation, nor because they came here to enjoy a quiet life, but for other purposes.

Even in Silvermoon City, few people knew that Golden Oak was actually a secret stronghold of a guild organization. It's called the "Hand of Light", and it's a very glorious name, but it's actually a guild of thieves.

Unlike the Shadow Council, the Night Guild, and other thieves, the Thieves of the Hand of Light are a bit of an unusual.

Most of the kleptocratic organizations similar to the Shadow Council tend to be chaotic neutral or chaotic evil. In addition to stealing, reconnaissance, intelligence, and sometimes being hired for assassination, the bandit camp of the Hand of Light is a rare chaotic kindness.

The profession of a thief is not a profession that follows the rules in the first place, so there is no doubt that it is in the camp of chaos, but why is it chaotic and kind?

Because the thieves of the Hand of Light did not accept any form of assassination, and although they did steal, they targeted nobles and wealthy merchants, never targeting the poor and poor, and even sometimes helping beggars and vagabonds in the city.

Even if the theft is missed and there is no escape, then the thieves of the Hand of Light will not hurt anyone, but will only take the initiative to raise their hands and surrender. For this reason, most of them will only be fined by the authorities.

If any of the municipalities really had to get along with them, the arrested thieves would disappear from their cells one night without a trace, and the skilled thieves of the union saw this kind of rescue of their fellow thieves as one of the most interesting challenges.

There is a saying within the Hand of Light: "Standing in the darkness and doing the things of light, our hands are the Hand of Light, and we are only taking the gold coins in the vampires' pockets to where it belongs." ”

Lo and behold, there are many ideal slogans!

The most glorious thing about the thieves of the Hand of Light is to become a legendary thief in the city who robs the rich and helps the poor.

Since the theft of these thieves does not bring them income, what does the Hand of Light rely on to make ends meet? This brings us to another important part of their work - selling intelligence!

Although the strength of the Hand of Light is not on the same level as the Santarin Society, they still call themselves the Bright Intelligence Network, and they are not afraid of being hostile to the Santarin Society, so it can be said that they are very courageous.

Of course, unlike Santarin, who will have milk and mothers, who can buy information as long as they pay money, the Hand of Light is more strict about selling information, and they don't want the hard-earned information of guild members to be used in evil ways.

As a result, they have lost a lot of money, which is the main reason why the Hand of Light has always been slow to develop, and can only be confined to certain large cities, and has not been able to establish a stronghold in all of Faeron.

Because of the large number of enemies, the Hand of Light has a somewhat similar style to the Harpist Alliance, and it is very secretive, and it is difficult for people who do not know them to find the intelligence base of the Hand of Light.

The reason why Qin Lun and the others knew about this strange and alternative thieves guild was because of Lago's relationship. In the Land of the Dead, Qin Lun saved Largo once, and although the Bloodpiercing Trio parted ways with Qin Lun and the others after leaving the Troll's Claws, Largo always felt that he owed Qin Lun a favor.

So, the thieves gave Qin Lun the token of the Hand of Light so that they could get some help in Silvermoon City. The token in Largo's possession once belonged to a member of the Hand of Light, and Largo had helped him, so the thief gave it to Largo.

The token is engraved with the contact addresses of some large cities so that those who possess it can receive paid help from the Hand of Light.

Although Qin Lun and the others had an intelligence source for the Harpist Alliance at this time, with the character of Qin Lun and the others, they would not put all their eggs in one basket.

The Harper's League and Qin Lun's position in this incident are the same, but this organization has very clear political goals and intentions. By all accounts, pinning your hopes entirely on them is clearly not a good choice.

The Hand of Light was open late at night, and since there was only one token, Hill and Rand went out together. At this time, there is still a week or so before the celebration in Silvermoon City, and if Santarin really wants to have some conspiracy plan, I am afraid that they have already begun to act.

Ciel and Rand want to take advantage of this opportunity to memorize the road network of Silvermoon City so that it will be convenient for them to act later.

As the last rays of sunlight fell on the floor line, Qin Lun tidied up his collar and quietly left his room and came to the speakeasy of the hotel.

"Give me a glass of ale." Qin Lun bypassed the crowd and pushed a silver coin to the bartender who was wiping the wine glass at the bar.

The silver coin given by Qin Lun was somewhat unique, with a radiant fist on the front and two daggers crossed together on the reverse.

"Okay, wait a minute!" The middle-aged bartender glanced at Qin Lun and silently held down the silver coin, and when he raised his hand again, the silver coin had already disappeared from the bar.

The bartender poured Qin Lun a glass of ale, then summoned a bartender, pointed to the bar casually, and walked towards the back door of the bar, as if he wanted to take a break.

Pushing open the back door of the bar, the bartender gave Qin Lun a vague look and motioned for him to follow. Qin Lun smiled slightly, raised his head and drank all the ale, and followed the bartender out of the door.

The back door of the bar is connected to the wine cellar, which is filled with oak barrels and rows of wooden wine racks. The bartender walked around to a dark part of the cellar and reached out to push open a secret door.

"How's Anko, is he still at Baldur's Gate?" After Qin Lun entered, the middle-aged bartender asked him softly.

The bartender said that Anke was obviously the member of the Hand of Light who gave Largo the token. Qin Lun's eyes flashed, he shrugged his shoulders, and didn't answer, he didn't know what happened to An Ke, rather than arousing suspicion, it was better not to say anything.

Seeing Qin Lun's appearance, the bartender just sighed, then stopped asking for news of the thief, and threw the silver coin back to Qin Lun.

"What do you want to know?"

"I wonder if there is any unusual news about the big celebration at the Supreme Palace in a week." Qin Lun asked with a deep groan.

"News of the Silver Moon Celebration?" The bartender's eyes sharpened, and he looked at Qin Lun with a vigilant face, "Why are you asking this?" ”

If he were an intelligence dealer, Qin Lun would never answer the other party's questions. But having learned about the Light Hand organization, he knew that he had to answer the question, otherwise, the bartender wouldn't tell him anything.

Thinking of this, Qin Lun said bluntly: "I got a piece of information from the Harpists Alliance, the Santarin Society wants to sabotage this Silver Moon Festival, and the lords of the Silver Moon Council may be in danger......"

"Santarin?" The bartender's pupils shrank, and he fell into deep thought with his chin pinched.

Qin Lun was not in a hurry, silently waiting for the other party to digest the news, and there was a sudden silence in the dark room.

After a while, the bartender finally spoke, "If your information is accurate, then we are ashamed, because the Hand of Light has not noticed anything unusual in the city during this time. ”

Hearing the bartender's words, Qin Lun frowned. Whether it's the Harper's League or the Santarin Society, it's clear that they're much stronger than the Hand of Light, but Silvermoon City is home to the Hand of Light, and they're the Serpents of the Land. If those two groups were to operate here, it would be impossible for the Hand of Light to be unaware of any anomalies.

The thieves themselves are one of the three religions, and their tentacles are all over the city, and even the presence of an outsider with an unfamiliar face entering their territory will alert the Hand of Light. And the bartender now actually said that the Hand of Light did not detect any abnormality, which was obviously a bit incredible.

"If you don't have anything to hide, it means there are only two possibilities!" Qin Lun stared at the bartender and said with a gloomy face.

The bartender looked at Qin Lun's cold eyes, and his face turned pale, "I understand which two possibilities it is, if we don't lie, then the Santarin Society has already given up its plan to sabotage the celebration." Otherwise, they've already set it up, and now they're just waiting for the Silver Moon Celebration to begin! ”

"Maybe there was an anomaly in Silvermoon City earlier, but nothing happened in the end, and you ignored it." Qin Lun's mind spun rapidly, and he said in a deep voice, "Let me think about it, a month and a half to two months ago, did anything unusual happen in Silver Moon City during this time?" ”

The time it took Santarim to find the dead in the Land of the Dead was exactly when Elistin and the others were captured by the trolls, and it had been almost a month and a half since now. And the time when Santarin will find the dead soul should be the moment when they plan the conspiracy, that is, between a month and a half to two months.
