Bai Qizhang: The anti-thief of rumors

Shocking news always spreads quickly, and a few days later, "Prince Aidan has been deposed" has become the first topic of conversation on the streets of Wasam, and Zhang Long's "Fighter League" training ground is no exception. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoIn the Middle Ages, when transportation was not developed and information was blocked, it was not easy for news to cross the long distance from Tristram to Wassam so quickly.

Needless to say, the responsibility of being sent by Isenhard to find out the wind between the markets fell to Haishan and Zhang Long again. Since becoming the only "cultural person" among the gladiators of the "Fighters League" and even all the slaves and even the family members, Zhang Long's appearance rate has soared, and he will almost be sent out on missions after finishing the day's training every day, which can be regarded as seeing the world.

This kind of outfield intelligence work has been done a lot, and Zhang Long's communication ability has also made a qualitative leap. Before the crossing, Mu Ne's dull and unspoken temperament has also been greatly improved, and it is said that a person's ability is often forced out by the situation, and this sentence has been verified by Zhang Long. At first, he still needed Hai Shan to take him, but now he can act alone to find someone to talk to and get information.

For example, now, Zhang Long and Haishan have split up and are sent to different taverns in different urban areas. His movements are very natural, and his former restraint has been swept away, as if he is already a regular visitor. In fact, he is indeed a frequent customer, and he has been to the "faint to death" bar many times, but he rarely acted alone in the past.

"Yo, Zhang Long!" The bartender at the front desk recognized the big star gladiator at a glance and greeted him warmly.

"A glass of rum. Zhang Long also smiled, sat on the high stool in front of the bar and handed over a few copper plates. He and Haishan's habits are different, even if it is Eisenhard's money, it is more economical, which is also a continuation of the cautious habit before the crossing.

The bartender filled him with a stylized smile and accosted him, "Why didn't that dark-skinned beautiful girl from your house come along?"

"People are the master's treasure, how can they always come out and show their heads?" Zhang Long snorted, using the method he learned from Hai Shan to seduce the other party to say more about what he wanted to hear: "Especially now, it is said that the world is not very peaceful!"

"Yes, yes!" The bartender opened the conversation, "Even a prince as good as Aidan can be deposed, this world is really unreasonable!" He leaned close to Zhang Long's ear and said mysteriously, "Do you know? As soon as the news came out, the thieves were happy......

"Anti-thief?" Zhang Long is really a bit of a monk this time: one of the great advantages of the traverser is that he can understand the general trend of history in advance, according to the relevant background historical materials of the game, King Leorik did gradually become suspicious in the later part of his reign, and always felt that "there are people who want to harm me", and then became obedient and tyrannical, from a generation of British lords to a terrible "black-hearted king". However, whether there is really a "Diao Min" or not, it is not clearly mentioned in the game historical materials, and it seems that Leorick's blackening is completely the result of the Demon King's corroded mind.

But listening to the words of this bartender, it seems that there is really a "thief", that is to say, King Leorik's worries are not unreasonable? Zhang Long was very excited, as a die-hard fan of "Diablo", more historical secrets are very valuable to explore!

"Ah, you don't know about the big star, do you?" said the bartender, surprised and slightly proud, "Ever since the day the king made Tristram the capital, Candras has had a legend of the 'anti-thief'...... Of course, they don't call themselves 'anti-thieves', and the names are different for each road, so most people on the streets still call them 'anti-thieves'......

Zhang Long's interest was completely aroused, and he hurriedly asked for another glass of wine: "But...... Why haven't you ever heard Captain Hasrab mention it?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, do you? People eat official food, and if you talk nonsense, you will lose your job, and if you talk nonsense, you will lose your job, and if you talk about it, you will lose your head!" The bartender showed an exaggerated expression, raised his hand and made a head-cutting motion on the back of Zhang Long's neck: "But the common people are spreading it among themselves! You know, they have been instigating the nobles of Wasam to overthrow the king, what are they talking about...... The king is a foreign tyrant, and the archbishop is the devil...... Haha......"

"But...... Has anyone really seen them?" asked Zhang Long curiously.

The bartender waved his hand vigorously, "No. Besides, who of the common people of Candras does not like the king? Without him, the Grand Dukes and the nobles would have been trampled down by the Maozi!"

Zhang Long laughed and raised his glass to drink. He knew that the so-called "Maozi" was the neighbor to the northeast of Candras: Yvegro. The Yveglos were brutal and martial and refused to convert to the teachings of Sakaram, and they suffered great losses at the hands of the holy army of Lakis during their expedition to the west. For a long time, the Ivegro soldiers and bandits often marched south and drove all over Candras, burning, killing, and plundering all kinds of evil, and the Grand Dukes who were divided here were completely helpless, either hiding in the castle and trembling and ignoring the suffering of the people, or simply doubling down on the fat and ointment of the people to pay tribute to the Ivegros. This situation did not end until the arrival of Governor Leorik with his brave Knights of Light.

Therefore, although the arrival of this foreign king violated the interests of the native nobles of Candras, the common people loved him very much. These "anti-thieves" who may really exist have no market at all among the commoners, and can only make a fuss from the nobles. Zhang Long, who had watched a lot of medieval-themed American dramas, was keenly aware of something and asked tentatively, "So...... If there really are these 'anti-thieves', the force behind them is likely to be some local nobleman?"

"Wise!" the bartender gave a thumbs up appreciatively, "To be honest, there have been rumors in the market for a long time that these thieves were actually instructed by Archduke Miraboga of Hafenwood, and everyone is rumored that Miraboga is plotting to overthrow King Leorik and replace him, but there is no conclusive evidence......

Zhang Long almost dropped his jaw: this name is familiar to him, a very good paladin early set in the second generation of the "Diablo" game, the Chinese version of the name was mistakenly translated by the localization team into the extremely painful "Miraboja's cigar", a little brain to know, that "cigar" should be translated into "royal power". However, looking at the official historical materials of the entire game, there has never been a king named "Miraboja", and it is not until this moment that the solution of this little mystery in Zhang Long's heart can be regarded as a bit of an eyebrow.

Judging from the clues brought by the knowledge before the crossing, it is very likely that this Grand Duke of "Miraboga" really has the ambition to be a king!
