As the news of Zuo Si becoming the Goddess of Poison and Plague is becoming a voter, more and more people and organizations continue to know.

The well-organized Church of Talona also took action, spreading the word about the "Children of the Pestilence", "The Man of Scourge" and "The Destroyer of the World" in major cities.

Zuo Si, who was originally just because of the mutation of bacteria and viruses in his body, accidentally destroyed a magical civilization, became a "mobile natural disaster" in their mouths, and was the embodiment of the power and will of the goddess of poison and disease.

At the same time, these fellows threaten to intimidate the ignorant populace, and only by believing in Talona can they prevent this terrible catastrophe from befalling them.

Although anyone with a little knowledge of religion and theology knows that this is bragging, some churches of good gods have unceremoniously refuted it in public.

But there are still many people who choose to become Talona's followers because of fear and fear.

Suddenly, on the west coast of the continent of Faerun, the influence of the goddess of poison and disease began to proliferate, so much so that the rulers of some cities had to compromise to prevent the incited populace from rioting.

This included allowing the church of Talona to build temples in the city and sell potions and toxins to those in need.

Undoubtedly, this is the benefit of a strong electorate.

Originally, Zuo Si didn't know that the Goddess Church was using his name to "pull the tiger skin and pull the banner" everywhere.

It wasn't until he and Bernard sailed down the river and disembarked at the Ascatra Bridge that he saw a priest of Talona standing on a high place, telling the ignorant people the story of how he had destroyed a world with a terrible plague at the behest of the goddess of poison and plague......

After listening, Zuo Si stood in place like a fool for a long time, not knowing what expression to make.

Because of this story, I don't know who made it up, except for the name "Soth", the rest has nothing to do with him himself.

At least he didn't remember that he had a super-friendly relationship with a so-called "young and beautiful" peasant girl.

Even if you have this mind, it is impossible to do it with your current physical age.

To be precise, the person who made up this story didn't even know Zuo Si's age and began to fabricate the plot out of thin air.

If nothing else, eighty percent of the people in the Talona church paid some bard to write it, and then used it directly as a tool to attract believers.

Only a bard, a shameless guy like a bard, who runs away with a train mouth, can do such a shameless thing.

The reason why Zuo Si hates bards is precisely because of their big mouths that are not covered, and at the same time like to exaggerate and fabricate.

Seventy percent of what comes out of the bard's mouth is probably a false story that doesn't exist at all.

Even if the remaining 30 percent is almost more than two-thirds of the exaggeration, and less than 10 percent is the original truth.

They also call it "artistic processing".

Seeing that Zuo Si's eyes began to show murderous aura, Alena next to him immediately held back a smile and whispered in his ear: "Master, do you need me to teach him a lesson?" ”

"Forget it. This is the city of Ascatla, and unleashing arcane magic in such a place will invite the intervention of masked mages. …

And when you find a cockroach in the house, it means that there are so many cockroaches in the dark that they are almost overwhelmed.

I'm willing to bet that someone like this pastor who is preaching with the same story must be all over the streets of the city.

It may spread to other cities as well.

Even killing a few won't help, so let them go. ”

After weighing the pros and cons, Zuo Si decisively decided to lie flat and rot.

Anyway, as long as you don't bother yourself.

Because he really didn't want to have anything to do with Talona's church, and he didn't want to waste his precious time on such boring things.

As for these pastors recruiting believers in their own names, Zuo Si was actually not so angry.

After all, the Goddess's elective status gives him great power, and it can also deter potential enemies, and the two sides are strictly mutually beneficial.

But if you want the world behind him that has been destroyed by the plague and where no gods were born, it is not enough to be a mere voter.

After a little time, Bernard temporarily stored the goods of several transport ships in the warehouse belonging to his own chamber of commerce, and immediately led people to the family mansion in the administrative district, full of nervousness and anticipation.

Like Puerto Carlin, Ascatra is a city that is typically polarized and has a huge gap between rich and poor.

Among them, the safest places are the administrative district, the temple and the Oak shopping mall area.

The division of the first two places is well understood.

One is a place where administrative institutions and nobles and wealthy merchants gather, and the other is a place where temples and churches are numerous, and it is difficult to think about public security.

As for the Wojin shopping mall area, as the name suggests, it is the largest market on the west coast of the entire Faren continent under the leadership of the Church of Wojin, the goddess of wealth.

It is said that the oval building, which is like a stadium, is dotted with thousands of shops and stalls.

Goods from all over the world, even from different planes, circulate and trade freely here.

It doesn't matter what your beliefs, factions, or ethnicities you have, you can buy and sell them all here.

In order to ensure order and safety, the Council of Six placed a full 1,000 guards responsible for maintaining order, which can almost be called a three-step post and a five-step sentry.

Masked mages also focus on this place day and night.

In addition, some of the vendors who look like ordinary humans are actually disguised as visitors and monsters from different planes.

Among them are creatures like beasts, shapeshifters, demons, demons, dragons, djinns, and the like.

Unless you are absolutely confident in your stealing skills, stealing here is basically no different from looking for death.

In contrast, security in the docks, slums, bridges and city gates is very poor.

The docklands are home to the Shadow Thieves, and the level of criminal activity is on par with that of Port Carlin.

As for the cemetery dedicated to burying the dead, there are tomb robbers and undead roaming at night.

Although locals and outsiders alike fantasized about the gold capital of Ascatlaqua, Zuosi knew the city for what it really was, and had little trust in the guards who patrolled the streets. …

Along the way, he watched very carefully for everyone around him who tried to get closer.

As long as someone comes within ten meters, the orc Ritter will immediately step forward and drive them away, including collaborators and distant relatives of the Roldan Chamber of Commerce.

Bernard didn't stop all this, and he didn't mean to explain it to the other party.

Because he understands that these guys are like sharks that smell blood, and they want to take advantage of the weakness of the Chamber of Commerce to check cheaply, and they don't even need to pay attention to it.

After entering the courtyard of the mansion, Bernard noticed that the once familiar housekeepers and guards in the courtyard were all gone, replaced by some completely unfamiliar faces.

Out of vigilance, he immediately quietly told Zuo Si about the situation.

"Sir Soth, something seems to be wrong. The servants and housekeepers of the house have changed, and none of the guards are known to me. ”

"Don't worry, I'm in control." Zuo Si gave the merchant a smile as a reassurance.

Although he didn't cast spells such as mind detection, he maintained a psychic connection with the strange object in Vermes's mind from the moment he stepped through the door.

Obviously, the guards and servants in this house were consciously replaced.

That alone is enough to illustrate how dire the situation is at the moment.

And from the moment he entered the door, not a single housekeeper or servant came forward to greet him, as if he had not seen the eldest son of the family who had the first right to inherit the throne.

Repression!

Nervous!

Afraid!

Feeling uneasy, Bernard finally walked to his father's bedroom and gently pushed the door open.

Moment!

Two familiar figures appeared in front of his eyes.

I saw an old man lying on the bed with a haggard face, his eyes full of numbness and confusion, no longer as sharp and majestic as usual.

This man was Bernard's most admired father, Sir Elrot, who had grown the Chamber of Commerce to where it is today for thirty years.

As for the blonde Lori sitting next to the old man's bed, it was his little sister Isadora, who was only twelve years old.

At this moment, the girl did not show the slightest appearance of a mastermind behind the scenes, but with a shy and worried expression on her face, she was eating with a bowl on the feeding bed.

When she heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately turned to Bernard with a look of surprise, and after a full minute she said in a cheerful tone, "My dear brother, you have finally returned."

You know?

Just this morning, my father decided to make me the heir to the family and the Chamber of Commerce.

I didn't know what to do.

Now I feel much more at ease with your help. ”

I have to say that these words will be quite level, not at all like a twelve-year-old child, but like the kind of veteran who has been in the intrigue for many years.

The old man lying on the bed also hurriedly echoed in a weak voice: "That's right. I've handed over both the family and the Chamber of Commerce to Isadora.

Because I found that it was a mistake, a huge mistake, to have you kids compete with each other. …

This led directly to the tragedy of cannibalism.

I know that you sent people to murder each other, and your hands are stained with the blood of your loved ones.

That's why I stripped you of your inheritance.

Bernard, from now on, you have to help your sister take care of her business. ”

These words were like a basin of ice water in an instant, directly pouring cold on the young businessman's heart.

Bernard never dreamed that he would risk his life to expand trade routes and make profits, only to be treated like this by his father.

Just when his face was flushed and he wanted to refute, Zuo Si suddenly raised his arm and made a slightly calming gesture, then took two steps forward to look at Isadora's beautiful silver pupils, and asked in a slightly playful tone: "Do you really believe that you can rely on such shoddy means to convince everyone that Sir Eloth is willing to hand over the family and chamber of commerce to a twelve-year-old girl to inherit?" Or do you think you can escape the detection of professional priests and masked mages in court? ”

"But my stupid brother believes, doesn't he? If it weren't for you, sooner or later he would have become a puppet under my control, just like my father. ”

With a sweet smile on her face, the girl said something that made everyone present feel creepy.

Especially Bernard, who was almost deceived, immediately couldn't help but shudder, and asked emotionally: "Your Excellency Soss!" She...... Is she some kind of monster? Or is it under the control of some evil magic? ”

Isadora glanced at her eldest brother with contempt and sneered, "Don't be stupid, dear brother.

I am your biological sister by blood, and since I was six years old, I have watched you brothers and sisters fight for succession.

Especially you, an idiot, have been constantly pleasing your father, and that flattering attitude makes me want to vomit.

You wretches have no idea that our father, the majestic Sir Eloth, had secretly sought out a mistress before his mother's death.

It was a young and beautiful lady, much younger than you.

They secretly gave birth to an illegitimate child.

The father loved this child very much, and under the constant instigation of the mistress, he had already secretly decided to let the illegitimate child inherit the family and the chamber of commerce.

Coupled with the fact that our mother's private life was always very chaotic, and she often attended all kinds of unsightly fornication meetings organized by the Church of the God of Love and Beauty, my father was full of anger and resentment, and even turned his anger on each of us.

It's just that for the sake of face, he has been covering it up very well, and he hasn't shown it from beginning to end.

But secretly, the father never gave up wanting to take revenge on the mother, so he deliberately created and maintained a fierce but balanced competition among his children.

Do you think I arranged for the killing of my brothers and sisters?

No!

That's just my father trying to kill you in my name, and then put the blame on me, removing the last obstacle to the illegitimate son's ascendancy.

At the same time, he was able to put all the blame on me after the fact, and by the way, he could get rid of the rewards promised to the pirates and bandits. …

It's a pity that my father didn't know that I was completely different from you stupid brothers and sisters.

I knew everything from the moment he had this thought, and I had been silently watching his every move for years.

As a result, when he chose to do it, I also decided to end this ridiculous family ethics drama.

In fact, whether it is my father, or you and other brothers and sisters, in my eyes, they are as naked as unclothed, and there are no secrets.

Because......

I can read your minds and read your memories. ”

As the last word blurted out, Isadora opened her arms violently, releasing an invisible energy that suddenly exploded in the air.

Moment!

The spirits of all were violently impacted.

Especially as an ordinary person, Bernard only felt that his brain was blank, and the whole person completely lost his consciousness and ability to think, and stood straight in place as if he was frozen.

The others reacted similarly, as if they had suddenly lost their perception of their surroundings and the outside world, and they all became stupid and stupid.

Only Zuo Si and Vermes, who is a red dragon, were not affected in any way.

Because the strange thing in the latter's mind used almost the same strength to resist this large-scale group attack.

"Psionic blast? You're a psychic mancer! Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

There's no way not to be surprised.

This extremely rare talent is usually impossible to find in a human race.

Only races like Mind Flayers, Giss Yankees, and Grey Dwarves that are born with some psychic talent have a certain chance of giving birth to Psychic Warlocks.

The rarity of human psychic warlocks far exceeds that of any other spell-casting profession, and it can even reach hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and only one or two lucky ones will appear.

He had thought that the girl had controlled the old man on the bed through a warlock or something.

But now it seems that it should be the memory tampering in the psychic ability.

"Psionic blast? Psychic Warlock? What is that? Also, why aren't you affected by my abilities? Isadora asked, frowning.

"Hehe, it seems that you don't know anything about your own powers, don't you?" Zuo Si asked a meaningful rhetorical question.

He could see that the girl in front of him should have awakened her psychic ability at a very young age.

Then he regarded it as a special ability that was unique to him, and he secretly used and exercised it, not knowing what his power was.

And this special ability to easily read other people's thoughts and memories allowed Isadora to spend a childhood completely different from that of a normal child.

She saw too many negative things in the hearts of adults, such as dirty, dirty, dark, and desired.

In addition, psychic sorcerers often have symptoms of schizophrenia, and will even debate with fragments of their own personality, constantly exploring every corner of the subconscious.

In the end, it became the scary appearance it is now.

As for the trigger for the outbreak, it is presumably that the lying in bed Sir Elrot intends to push his little daughter out as a scapegoat. …

"Do you know my powers?"

A flash of silver light flashed in Isadora's pupils, followed by a knife placed at the head of the bed to cut fruit, and the sharp part of the front point pointed straight at Zuosi's eyes.

Now, with just one thought, she could make the knife fly out at lightning speed and plunge into the opponent's eye socket.

But Zuo Si replied with a disapproving smile: "The power you use is called a psychic ability, and you are a psychic warlock with an innate talent.

The attack just now is called [Psionic Shock], and it can produce a strong psychic impact that immobilizes the affected person.

As for controlling this knife, it is the power of mind control.

Your talent is special and rare.

It's a pity that you're too weak to do me any harm. ”

"It can't be! No one can resist my power! ”

As she spoke, Isadora suddenly manipulated the knife to stab Zuo Si's eye socket.

A cold light flashed through the air in an instant.

But what she never expected was that the knife actually stopped only a few centimeters away from Zuo Si's eyes, as if it had fallen into a standstill, and no matter how she controlled it, she couldn't move forward even a little further.

Before the girl could react to what had happened, the knife suddenly made a 180-degree turn and stabbed her in the chest.

"No !!!!!"

Faced with the oncoming blades, Isadora let out a desperate scream, closing her eyes and waiting for pain and death to come.

But after more than ten seconds, the pain did not come, and she subconsciously opened her eyes again.

It turned out that the knife had pierced the clothes, and it was less than a millimeter away from the smooth and delicate skin, and the hairs could even feel the slightest chill.

No doubt!

This hand alone is enough to prove that the other party's level of control over psychic abilities is far beyond his own.

Realizing this, Isadora raised her head and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "You...... Do you have the same abilities as I do? ”

"If you're referring to psychic abilities, the answer is clearly no. It wasn't me who was fighting against your abilities just now, it was it. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si pointed to the head of Vermes beside him.

Just as Isadora set her eyes on Vermes, the red dragon, which maintained its human form, suddenly opened its mouth and protruded four tentacles like octopuses from its throat.

One of them was raised high and waved a little.

A voice echoed in the girl's mind: "Hello, Isadora, I am a strange thing created by my master, and I have the power of psionic energy just like you. ”

"Master? Create? ”

Isadora keenly grasped two key words.

Although the tentacles in front of her made her a little scared, she also had a little joy of meeting her own kind.

After all, over the years, the girl has always regarded herself as an anomaly, a monster lurking in the crowd, and can only try to hide herself, and is not even willing to communicate with others.

This is why in the eyes of outsiders, she always looks shy and shy. …

Through the psychic connection, the strange thing sensed the girl's emotions and responded in a tone without any emotion: "That's right. The person I spoke to just now is my creator. If it weren't for the kindness of your master, you would have been a dead man just now. ”

After saying this, the strange thing ignored Isadora and directly withdrew the tentacles, while returning control of the body to Vermes.

Although this act of taking control away at every turn made Red Dragon very annoyed, she dared not speak out in anger now.

"How? Do you now have an idea of what you're capable of? Psychic abilities have never been invincible, they're just more stealthy than arcane and mystery, and can silently influence and control the unsuspecting people around them. ”

Zuo Si was interested in explaining to the girl in front of him the difference between different power systems.

Because psychic sorcerers are so rare, too rare.

And these guys are so good at hiding and camouflaging that they're almost impossible to spot.

"You've created something that has the same abilities as me, and even a full intellect?" Isadora's eyes suddenly became feverish.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes." Although there are many flukes in this process, if there is a living Mind Flayer as a raw material, it shouldn't be a problem to replicate. ”

"Great! You're the one I've been looking for! Let's be together forever! Isadora opened her arms and tried to pounce.

“？？？？？”

Zuo Si had a question mark in his head, and he couldn't understand what kind of wind the girl in front of him was smoking.

But he still relied on his agility and dodge as high as seventeen points, and let the opponent pounce.

However, Isadora didn't seem to give up, and still said to herself: "Look, in the eyes of those ordinary people, people like us who have great power at a young age are generally called monsters. I'm a monster, you're a monster too, aren't two monsters a good match together? And when we have each other, we won't be lonely. ”

"Are you lonely?"

Zuo Si looked at the girl with a slightly pitying eye.

The latter nodded with a smile: "Yes! I'm lonely! Very, very lonely!

Because ever since I had the ability to remember and awaken, I found that everyone around me was terrifying.

My father was always plotting how to kill my brother and sister.

The older siblings are plotting how to get rid of each other.

When I got a little older, I realized that the guard who was in charge of protecting me was fantasizing about how to strip me naked and do disgusting things without anyone noticing.

There was also a maid who was always jealous of my appearance and origin, and would secretly add pimple-making poisonous weeds to it every time she was making tea.

My eldest sister has wanted to marry me off to an old and ugly merchant more than once in exchange for support from the Baldur's Gate Iron Throne Chamber of Commerce.

There were so many things like this that I had nightmares since I was a child, and I couldn't sleep peacefully.

The world is so terrible and malicious to me. …

But now it's different.

In you, I smell the scent of the same kind.

So please don't refuse me, or kill me immediately.

Otherwise, I will spend the rest of my life taking revenge on you. ”

As she said this, Isadora slowly walked up to Zuo Si step by step, and then opened her arms and hugged her tightly, constantly sniffing the unique smell of the latter, and an expression of great happiness and satisfaction appeared on her face.

"Now, you're mine. And I was finally able to get a good night's sleep. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

"What's going on with this human cub? Her mind seemed to be a little out of sorts. Vermes asked in a tone of uncertainty.

"No, Isadora is not mentally abnormal, but psychologically problematic. She awakened her abilities so early that she spied into too much of the dark side of human nature before her mind matured, so she was in a state of panic, nervousness, and intense uneasiness. As a result, her personality is distorted. ”

Zuo Si explained as he tried to get the girl off his body.

Unfortunately, I don't know if it's the effect of the psychic ability, her hand is very tight, and it took a long time to get it down.

In desperation, Zuo Si could only let himself have such an extra "pendant".

Fortunately, his current strength attribute is not low, and his physique has reached a level beyond the reach of ordinary people, so it shouldn't matter if he hangs for a few hours.

At the same time, those around who had been hit by the [Psionic Detonation] also recovered from the shock state.

"What just happened? Why can't I remember anything? ”

The half-orc Ritter shook his head vigorously, trying to get himself out of the intense vertigo.

Alena retched against the wall, grumbling as she vomited, "Damn! My head hurts! And it's kind of disgusting! ”

"Master, are you alright?"

The Dragonborn Knights have shown exceptional loyalty, as always.

He was obviously more concerned about his master's safety than himself.

Zuo Si shook his head and responded, "I'm fine." You've been hit by the psychic abilities unleashed by Isadora. Don't worry, those reactions are temporary, and they will be fine in a while. ”

"Psychic abilities? What is that? ”

Bernard asked, squeezing through his physical discomfort as he sat down in his chair.

"Do you know the Mind Flayer? The kind of power they use is called psychics. And your youngest sister is a very, very rare psychic mancer. She was awakened at the age of six and possessed the ability to read other people's thoughts and memories. ”

"Oh my God! What do you mean...... When Isadora was a child, she saw the darkness in the hearts of everyone in her entire family? ”

Bernard's mouth opened wide in shock, and his face was full of disbelief.

He couldn't imagine how terrible this would be for a child whose mind was not yet mature.

"It's scary, isn't it?" Zuo Si sighed slightly. "In addition, the culprit of the murder of you and your brothers and sisters has also been figured out, and it is the old man lying in bed, your father." …

"Father's ......"

Bernard subconsciously clenched his fists when he looked at the old man, and his two eyes burst out with extremely angry fire, as if he would rush up and strangle him to death in the next second.

But unfortunately, he finally suppressed the impulse in his heart, gritted his teeth and asked, "What is the situation of my father now?" Is he controlled by Isadora? ”

"Nope. He must have been tampered with. And the means are so rough that there are problems with the spirit and consciousness, and it is estimated that he will die soon. ”

Zuo Si gave his diagnosis straightforwardly.

He didn't have the slightest sympathy for this old guy who didn't know what ecstasy he had taken and wanted to replace his legitimate children with illegitimate children, and was finally killed by his youngest daughter.

"Excellent! Then let him die in such pain. ”

Bernard pronounced his father's death sentence in a cold voice, with no intention of asking the priest to treat him.

But soon, he turned his gaze to his sister who was hanging on Zuo Si's body: "How is Isadora now?" Is she still in danger? Is your mental state stable? ”

"It's a bit hard to say. Because the power system of the Psychic Warlock is too special, and it is very idealistic. As a result, almost all psychic warlocks only believe what they want to believe. I'm not sure if she'll do anything out of the ordinary when she wakes up. ”

As he said this, Zuo Si glanced at the girl's quiet and delicate face.

In his opinion, Isadora was nothing more than a victim in the whole affair.

If it weren't for Sir Elrot's desire to sacrifice him, none of this would have happened.

In fact, the reason why all the servants and guards in this house have been replaced, and the memories have been tampered with, is the reason why the girl has a strong sense of anxiety and a desire to protect herself.

Later, let the strange object be modified back through the psychic ability, and then fire all the people.

"Can I ask you to take care of her? You know, I'm not a person with much power, and there's no way to stop her when something goes wrong. Bernard made a sincere request.

To be honest, he was really scared by his youngest sister just now.

The weirdness and strength of the psychic ability make the young businessman feel creepy.

Even more terrifying than seeing those hordes of undead charging on a desert island.

Because although the undead are terrible, they can be seen and touched after all, and even if they die, they can die clearly.

But psychic abilities can read a person's memories and thoughts without even knowing it, and can unwittingly turn them into controlled puppets.

Bernard would rather be killed than become his father's walking dead.

"No problem. But you have to think about it, this is a rare and rare psychic mancer. If you leave it to me, you will not be able to see her again in the future. Zuo Si reminded solemnly.

Bernard shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile: "It's okay. It is enough for me to have your support. As for Isadora, I just hope she can get away from this nightmare home and have a little happier in the future. ”…

As he spoke, the young merchant took advantage of the girl's sleep, stretched out his hand and gently touched the latter's long golden hair, and his eyes revealed a hint of pity.

It can be seen that he actually likes this youngest sister quite a lot.

After a few seconds, Bernard reluctantly withdrew his arm, put on a gloomy face that was disturbing, and asked bluntly: "Your Excellency Soss, can you please tell me where my father's mistress and the illegitimate son who is trying to replace me live?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Zuo Si asked quietly and rhetorically.

"Do you need to ask? Revenge, of course! Since that bitch dares to instigate his father to kill all the legitimate heirs, including me, then be prepared for bloody revenge. ”

Bernard's tone was filled with the naked, undisguised smell of blood.

After this ordeal, he has clearly grown a lot.

In the past, he didn't have the courage and courage to dare to kill people in the city of Askatra.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction, quickly picked up the pen and paper, wrote down the information that the strange object had read from the old man's mind on the bed through his psychic ability, and then handed it over.

"Here's the address. Can I help you? ”

Bernard took a deep breath and declined, "Thank you, but you don't have to." This is our family's business, and I will uproot all those involved in this matter and their families in the most traditional and bloody way, men, women, and children. ”

"In that case, then I wish you a happy revenge." Zuo Si sent his blessing with a smile on his face.

Because he knew that after this incident, Bernard would make up for his last shortcomings and completely transform into a qualified Amber businessman.

In this way, Bernard left home alone and went straight to the Chamber of Commerce.

With his status as the first in line and the prestige he had accumulated within the Chamber of Commerce, he took over all the power without much effort.

Immediately afterward, Bernard drew a sum of money and divided it into three parts.

One was given to Am's Shadow Thieves' Guild, another to the barracks responsible for maintaining daily law and order in the city, and one was secretly sent to the wife of the Attorney General, who was in charge of accepting cases and conducting trials.

In less than an hour, a fire broke out in the house where Sir Elrot had placed his mistress, and none of the masters or servants escaped and were burned alive.

Subsequently, a small family that has only risen in recent years suddenly had a collective incident of eating highly poisonous mushrooms, and the whole family died of a fine death.

After an inspection by the guards, and the verdict of the prosecutor general, everything was quickly settled.

Perhaps in the eyes of the uninformed, these are two completely different accidents.

But in the eyes of the upper ruling class of Askatra, this was a perfect and brilliant revenge.

As the new head of the family, Bernard used the Amm method to kill all the enemies who spied on his family's wealth, which is worth emulating and learning from all young people.

Obviously, the money given to the shadow thief was to buy murder, the money to the barracks was for the guards to help cover up the traces of those murders, and the money for the prosecutor's wife was to let the two cases end as quickly as possible and avoid unnecessary turmoil. …

As Babette said, there is nothing in Ascatra that cannot be bought with money.

If you can't buy it, it only means that you haven't given enough money.

What's more, Sir Ellrot's mistress was not originally a famous family, otherwise it would not have been possible to be willing to be a lover of an old man incognito.

And the family behind her is relying on nepotism to occupy a place in the fierce competition in the city.

So after getting the money, the shadow thieves didn't even hesitate, and immediately sent assassins to complete this lucrative and risk-free commission.

Looking at the few human heads in front of him, Bernard had no expression on his face, and said bluntly to the thieves who came to hand in the task: "I'm glad that this matter is finally over." Your efficiency is as good as ever. ”

"Thanks for the compliment. It's good that you're satisfied. Oh, by the way, our boss, Alan Linville, asked me to help me pass on a message that I wanted to make an appointment with the Lord Soth who helped you get everything back. ”

The thief added as he was about to turn away.

"Alan Linville?" Bernard froze slightly.

Because this name is well-known in Am, especially in Askatra.

He is the titular supreme leader of the Shadow Thieves.

Although rumors say that this guy is just a puppet pushed out by the shadow thief to hide people's eyes and ears.

But it is undeniable that he is indeed quite powerful.

At the very least, the vast majority of the Shadow Thieves must accept the leadership of Alan Linville, and all subordinate guilds must hand over a portion of their earnings at regular intervals.

Bernard couldn't figure out what would happen to the leader of the shadow thieves looking for Zuosi.

The thief sensed the merchant's concern and immediately smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing. On the contrary, our boss wants to negotiate a deal with Lord South, a deal that is beneficial to everyone. ”

With that, he disappeared into the shadows and disappeared at the end of the street at great speed.

Half an hour later, the office at the end of the labyrinth on the basement floor of the Shadow Thieves Guild.

Alan Linville sat down in his chair and asked in a slightly playful tone, "How, did you bring my words?" ”

"Of course, Boss. But I don't quite understand, the boy named Soth is obviously only about ten years old, what do you have to talk about with him? The thief asked, puzzled.
