As a deity symbolizing lies, deception, intrigue, strife, and death, Ciric's followers and followers in the continent of Faeron are undoubtedly a group of selfish and unscrupulous lunatics who fail to achieve their goals.

His churches, in particular, were founded by the former followers and priests of the "Three Gods of Death" who had fallen during the turbulent years, namely Baal, the god of murder, Mirkor, the god of death, and Bane, the god of tyranny.

These people are already full of contradictions, and each has its own small circle.

Not to mention mutual coordination and cooperation, it is fortunate that there is no direct fight.

Some internal members of sects and organizations will even fight each other for leadership.

Murder, planting, framing, annexation......

Something like this happens almost every day.

And that's exactly what the chaotic Ciric wants to see.

Sometimes, in order to enjoy the wonderful performance of his followers fighting each other, he would even give two high-ranking priests at the same time completely different, or conflicting, "revelations" and "oracles."

Then he sat by and watched the two sides fight to the ground.

Finally, a few young people who are desperate for power, or driven by ambition, make up the current chaos in the church of Shirek.

So when the Ciric believers in Port Carlin learned that the elect, Malik, had lost an offering to the "King of Lies", they immediately took action.

Among them are members of the Thieves' Guild, as well as unscrupulous merchants, adventurers, and nobles.

Of course, their purpose was not to help Malik recover the item, but rather to snatch it and sacrifice it to Ciric themselves in exchange for more power and benefits.

If you can, it would be better to replace Malik as the new god elect.

As the followers of Shirek took action, the churches of good gods such as Irmat, the god of suffering, Tyr, the god of justice, Haim, the god of guards, and Loshanda, the lord of the dawn, who were hostile to them, immediately moved on to the news.

In addition, the harpist alliance and the Santalin Society, known as the two "-stirring sticks" of Faerun, also inevitably started a new round of open and secret fighting.

All of a sudden, under the cover of night, all kinds of intelligence spying, message transmission, assassination, and skirmishes were staged one after another.

As the true behind-the-scenes ruler of the entire Kalinshan, it is naturally impossible for [Entanglement Talisman] to turn a blind eye to this.

By dawn, a detailed piece of information had been sent to Ragon, the "Lord of Symbols".

After reading everything on the sheepskin, the lich immediately asked in a playful tone, "What exactly is in that chest?" How did the people of the Church of Shirek make such a fuss? ”

"I don't know. But there is definite information that the contents of the box were fished by a fisherman from the port of Baldur's Gate near the mouth of the Oi Sa River. Soon after the object was retrieved, his wife, children, relatives, and friends all died. Later, one of Malik's subordinates happened to know something and bought it at a high price. ”

Albeni Abb told all the information he had gathered. …

"Interesting! Send someone to Baldur's Gate to investigate what exactly is in the chest. By the way, find out whose hands that box is now in its hands. Ragon ordered without thinking.

Abney Abel hurriedly nodded: "Understood! I'll arrange for someone to go to Baldur's Gate right away. Also—I'm pretty much on the target as to whose hand that box is on. ”

"Oh? Who is it? Ragon asked with interest.

"Yesterday at noon, Soth left the city gates with his little werewolves and went somewhere in the wild to perform a magical ritual to control the bestiality, and did not return to the inn until near midnight. Calculating the time, his suspicion is quite large. Most importantly, he has the strength necessary to do so. ”

Abney Abel cautiously voiced his speculation.

Since Zuo Si's route of movement after arriving in Port Carlin is often very simple, and he almost never wanders around, it is easy to deduce where he was at what time.

And compared to those who don't know anything about it, [Entanglement Talisman] knows very well how dangerous this ten-year-old boy can be.

Not to mention, the powerful magic equipment alone is enough to press many self-proclaimed "experienced" and "powerful" adventure teams to the ground and blast hammers.

What's more, Zuo Si is also very good at making and using poisons.

If it is the first strike, the average team will not even have a chance to resist in front of him.

When Ragon heard this, two dark lights in his eyes flickered continuously, and it took a full minute before he spoke: "If the box is in Soth's hands, this matter becomes especially interesting. Hide the news for now, and wait until the third day after he and the caravan leave Port Carlin, and then reveal it to the harpists, the Santarin, and the Shirek church. ”

"As you wish!"

Abenni Ab touched his chest with one hand and bowed deeply, then turned around and touched the teleportation rune, and the whole person disappeared without a trace.

……

At the same time, in the hidden hideout of the Harpists League branch in Port Carlin, several humans and half-elves also gathered under the idol of the goddess of magic to discuss the changes in the church of Shirek.

One of them, a male half-elf who could not tell his age, said in a very serious tone: "Everyone! I'm sure you all know very well.

Since Ciric became a god, he and his followers have caused so many terrible disasters, strife, and troubles in just two years.

Malik, in particular, a merchant-turned-voter, has used deception and lies to build up a large presence in Port Carlin.

Many illegal smugglers and thieves' guilds have close dealings with him.

They even cooperated with some lords of the war-torn kingdom of Tesser, as well as a handful of mercenary merchants in Am, to capture innocent poor people and civilians and sell them as slaves to the Kalinshan.

They also frequently use assassinations to get rid of righteous men who stand in the way of their expansion of power.

So whatever Malik is plotting for, we must thwart his plot. ”

But how? We don't even know now what his lost "cargo" is. Another human woman questioned.

While members of the Harper's League often resort to assassinations and the like, they are ultimately an intelligence organization.

Without gathering enough information, there is a high risk of falling into a well-planned trap or being violently retaliated against by the enemy.

"Don't worry about that.

I have sent a message to the branches of Ascatra and Baldur's Gate.

They should be looking into the whole thing soon.

Now, all we have to do is sabotage without stopping.

Make sure that whatever they try to do, they end up with failure. ”

As he said this, the male half-elf's tone was full of unmistakable certainty.

"What about the Santarin? They'll definitely meddle too! ”

Another senior member of the harpist who participated in the discussion raised his concerns.

But the half-elf male replied disapprerovingly: "Don't worry! The Santalim Society in Port Carlin is in the midst of a fierce infighting.

Two of their leaders, one of whom took refuge in Ciric, continued to serve the dead god of tyranny, Bane.

If nothing else, the guy who served Bane, the dead god of tyranny, should be more than happy to cause a little trouble for another rival.

Also, inform Khalid and Jahira not to leave Port Carlin yet.

We may need their strength now. ” 。。
