Chapter 8: The Thieves' Guild (5)
In the office of the Thieves' Guild, Zoro sat in the dark, staring motionlessly at a fire burning in the middle of the office. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
There wasn't a lot of wood in the brazier, so how could a flame be lit that was nearly two meters high?
From behind the flames came a dark red man, whose hair stood on end, like a burning flame. The man bowed to Sauron and said, "Mentor, have you seen the Demon King's will from the flames?"
"Yes. The dwarven kingdom of Krurod has been conquered by Fiona's army, but to invade Erathia, it must pass through the Muse Mountains on Krurod's border. The Muse Mountains were so high that the snow was too high for the army to cross, and the only way to enter Erathia was to break through the border cities. β
"Could it be that Fiona's army is being stopped by the Frontier City?"
"Sosa, the defender of the border city, is a battle-hardened hero. His intention was obvious, relying on the dangerous terrain, holding the city and killing the besieging troops. As long as he does not send troops to fight Fiona, he will not be able to destroy his living forces, but will cause heavy damage to Fiona's army. β
"Mentor, didn't the Wizards of Negan send reinforcements?"
"Although Morriel, the lord of Negan, promised the alliance, he always sent only a few thousand cavemen on the grounds that the portal was not opened and the army could not move. β
"Cave people can't fight. Is it ......?"
"Yes, Fiona wants to use these cavemen, as well as the tens of thousands of captured dwarves to dig caverns, trying to cross the Muse Mountains and attack the flanks of the border city. β
"Mentor, this is a huge project, and I am afraid it will take more than a year. β
"Zeda, it's time for us to act. How many infidels and demonic heroes do you have?"
"Mentor, you know, the wizard clan and the undead clan in the dungeon have their own guilds, and few people come out to cultivate. There were only a dozen or so heroes around me. β
Zoro stood up and said, "The stupid pig of the Great Thunder has surrounded the Black Wood Forest, and we can use this opportunity to start a war with the Hero Guild. You have your people moving around the guild and exacerbating their conflicts with the Hero Guild. β
Zeda said, "Mentor, but you told them that now is not the time. β
Sauron said: "These people in the Thieves' Guild have no cohesion, I will wait for their anger to burn spontaneously, and then add another fire to make their anger burn more and more." Creating a common enemy for them is the best way to rally these thugs. β
Zeda nodded, "Mentor, I know what to do." The next step you have to do is open the portal again. β
"Yes. Now the hundreds of heroes who are living in the Lost Lands want to return to their homeland. If they learn the truth about why the portal is closed, they will vent their anger and the Heroes' Guild and the town of Baulston will be scorched to the ground. β
"Are we going to help the witches find out the truth?"
"Let them find it themselves, and give them hints if necessary, and it will be more convincing for them to find out on their own. β
"I'm afraid the thunder will keep causing trouble. β
"It's to let him make trouble, so that everyone can see who is covering up the truth. There is no need to worry about the safety of the witches, and the four witches plus the five animal trainers of the Thieves' Guild are a force to be reckoned with. Except for the giant thunder, I believe that no one dares to challenge them. β
"Murak and Gu Shiyu are here for the Thieves Guild today, do they need to take any action?"
"No, I don't. Murak had betrayed Madame Grey, and now that he had no place to stand, he had no choice but to join the Thieves' Guild. As for that Gu Shiyu, he may be the prophesied Chosen One. If we can't win him over, this man will be a great threat to us in the future. But leave him alone for now, I'll wait for him to pull out the King's Sword and break the powerful seal of the Lost Lands portal. β
Where is Gu Shiyu now? This kid is drinking flower wine in the brothel of the Black Wood Forest.
Originally, Gu Shiyu didn't dare to come in, but he couldn't stand Brufield's strong drag, and there was already some curiosity and impulse in his heart.
The brothel in the Black Wood Forest is a unique scenery of the entire Lost Land, and when you come to the Black Wood Forest, you don't even visit the brothel, isn't that for nothing?
Gu Shiyu now has a beautiful woman snuggling up to him. His heart was pounding, and he was flustered. Catherine had only been gone for less than ten days, and if she had known about it, it would have been worth it? He peeked at Mulrak, and saw that he didn't take it seriously at all, and seemed to know that he was an old prostitute.
If you people mess around, you'll definitely be ruined. Gu Shiyu made up his mind that no matter how much he was willing, he must keep the last line of defense and defend his precious chastity. Although there are countless beauties around him, he is still a virgin.
After drinking the flower wine, you can have practical action. The bustard arranged for the beauties to take them into their rooms. Gu Shiyu was feeling dizzy and wanted to sleep well, when he suddenly found that the beautiful woman was undressing, and his whole body trembled with fright, and he jumped off the windowsill on the second floor, and he was not afraid of breaking his leg.
Gu Shiyu walked aimlessly in the black wood forest alone, and his face was still hot. Catherine should not blame herself for successfully holding the position today, but if this embarrassment reaches the ears of that kid in Yoland, I am afraid that he will even laugh and hurt in his stomach.
God, Murak, Blufield, don't go out and talk nonsense.
Cough...... In fact, it's nothing, men love women, it's normal for people to love, not to mention that he is a very normal man.
What should I do? Or go back and see and see? Gu Shiyu suddenly had an impulse in his heart. He stood still, hesitant.
Alas, forget it, don't lose your footing into a thousand years of hatred, just to lose Catherine, a great beauty.
In the valley of the Black Wood Forest, there are dozens of houses of the Thieves' Guild, and on a small hill not far away, there is a lone building. Looking through the open door, you can see that it is red inside.
"That's the Dark Temple. Suddenly, a person next to him said.
Gu Shiyu followed the prestige, and saw an old man in the forest in a wheelchair, his face facing him.
The old man was very thin, and his pale face was haphazardly poking out of his short beard. I only heard him say: "Young man, I have inconvenient legs and feet, can you push me for a ride?"
Respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue. Looking at this old man's majestic demeanor, he didn't expect to be a porcelain toucher. Gu Shiyu said in his heart, then help you, Zhang Liang once helped an old man pick up broken shoes at the head of Yishui Bridge, the old man was very happy, and praised the son of the son for teaching, and taught him the "Taigong Art of War", Fang Cheng. If you learn from Zhang Liang to help the old man, won't you encounter any strange fate?
Gu Shiyu walked over, only to see that the old man's one eye was bright, but the other eye was dim, as if he had a cataract, and only a white eye socket could be seen.
Gu Shiyu pushed the cart and walked slowly, and couldn't help asking, "What is the name of the old man?"
"Just call me Sauron. β
Gu Shiyu was shocked: "What...... What? You're Zoro?"
The old man turned his head sideways, with a helpless wry smile on his face, and said, "Yes." Everyone else says that Zoro is a big devil, but I didn't expect it to be such a dying old man!"
"Yes...... If you want me to push the cart behind your back, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"
"Why did you hurt me? Is it because of the rumors that I'm a demon?"
"Some people say that you killed the original inhabitants of the Black Wood Forest. β
Zoro nodded, and said, "The Black Wood Forest turned out to be a thief camp, don't you know? You must know that what is in the crowd is not necessarily the truth, it may be a faΓ§ade, and this appearance usually tries desperately to cover up the facts. β
"I don't understand why you're calling this the Thieves' Guild. It sounds like a place for bad guys. β
Zoro smiled, "Since the good name is taken away by the Heroes Guild, then I have to use the name of the Thieves Guild." In fact, you can also see that the people in the Thieves' Guild, like the people in the Heroes Guild, don't do anything that people can't see. It's a paradise where no one tells you what to do and what not to do, everyone has the right to judge and choose, and everyone can do what they want to do. And the Hero Guild is sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact, it is not like that at all. Did you know that the Hero Guild has another name?"
"The Bear Guild?"
"Yes. The people of Baulston suffered from the exorbitant taxes, and the citizens of many places rebelled against the oppression, but they were suppressed by Mayor Grey and the Heroes' Guild. Let's talk about the witches, they didn't do anything wrong, they were completely framed, but why did Mayor Grey and the Heroes Guild have to hunt them down? It's not that they're afraid that they will reveal their plot!"
Gu Shiyu said: "As far as I know, the mentor of the Hero Guild does not support the hunting of witches, and this task was issued by Madame Grey. β
"Yes, the mission was issued by Madame Grey, but it was personally taken over by the second person in the Hero Guild, Giant Thunder, don't you have doubts about the relationship between it? The Hero Guild has actually been secretly manipulated by Lady Grey and Giant Thunder now. β
"I believe the witches have been wronged, and they have told me that they are investigating a conspiracy. β
"Yes. The witches consulted a lot of information in the library of the Heroes Guild and came to the conclusion that the portal to the Lost Lands was artificially closed, and that the masterminds behind it were the Heroes Guild and the other forces in the Lost Lands. β
"Ah!" Gu Shiyu was taken aback, he thought that this matter was done by the Thieves Guild, but he never thought that the Hero Guild would be the mastermind.
"The Guild of Heroes has deceived heroes around the world for decades, and because of this, they find a way to get rid of witches who want to reveal the truth. β
Gu Shiyu really didn't know what to say.
"It's time for this matter to be revealed! The whereabouts of the heroes cannot be decided by the Heroes Guild, but by themselves. Maybe you don't believe what I'm saying, but I want you to help the witches uncover the truth. You can also go back and ask the mentor of the Heroes Guild and ask him if he knows about it in person. He may tell you, of course, if he still deserves to be called a hero. β
"I'll ask. β
"You are a person of integrity and kindness, and you deserve my trust, which is why I tell you these things. I'm already a dying old man, and I'm no threat to anyone, and I really don't understand why they should treat me as an enemy and put me to death as soon as possible. β
"Actually, the Mentor doesn't want to go to war with you, and he's trying to keep the peace as much as possible. β
Zoro sneered, "Yes, you can see that the giant thunder has surrounded the outskirts of the Thieves' Guild, and his actions are tantamount to declaring war. Now I have no other way but to persuade the heroes of the guild to endure the momentary anger and not to be impulsive. β
Before they knew it, they had come to the door of the Dark Temple. Gu Shiyu looked at the red temple, as if the flames were calling him, and unconsciously pushed Zoro into the dark temple.
Opposite the gate of the temple is a shrine, from which there is only an iron bridge, and under the bridge is boiling lava.
A dark shaman walked over from the iron bridge and said to Gu Shiyu with his hands folded, "Young man, are you here to sacrifice?"
Gu Shiyu shook his head and said, "No, I just accompanied this old man for a walk." β
The Dark Shaman sighed and muttered, "Alas, what a pity. β
Gu Shiyu didn't understand. Sauron said, "If you push me down of the lava and sacrifice, you may get a powerful weapon." β
Gu Shiyu shook his head and said, "I won't do this." β
Zoro smiled and said, "I'm sure you won't do that. But what I'm telling you is that apart from my Doom Blade, the Dark Temple has a weapon that no one has ever gotten. β
"I've heard that the Dark Temple also has a divine bow, called the Tears of the Gods, which has evil powers. β
"You are wrong, there is no difference between good and evil weapons, any weapon is evil, and its function is to kill. Does the sword of the League of Angels become righteous just because it has a good name? It seems to me that the gods have no mercy on the whole world, and they have killed more people than any tyrant. β
Weapons are not nectar in the hands of the gods, but can live the flesh and bones of the dead. Indeed, weapons themselves do not do any good things, and the theory of justice and evil should depend on who they are used in, right? If you have a divine weapon and kill in vain, it will definitely be evil, and if you stop killing by killing, can it be called just?
"Don't you want to get this bow?" asked Sauron.
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but say, "How can I get it?"
"It's very simple, grab some living beings and sacrifice them. The blood of the living creeps into the lava, perhaps forging a bow. β
"It's cruel. β
"Really, have you ever felt cruel when you killed so many skeleton warriors, werewolves, and black dragons?
"But I've heard that many people have sacrificed in this temple and have not received anything. β
"Yes. Perhaps 10,000 people sacrificed, and only one person could receive it. Only those who persevere, or the chosen one, can get this divine weapon. Don't you want to try it?"
Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try it when I have the chance." β
"Now everywhere in the Lost Lands, werewolves are plagued. I suggest that you catch werewolves to sacrifice, one is to eliminate harm for the people, and the other is to try your luck, killing two birds with one stone. β
