After dealing with the business, these shadow masters had the energy to manage the Shadow Assassin who had been hanging by the side for a while, "We already know about you, and for the next period of time, you will stay in the Shadow Nest for a while."

I don't need to say much about how dangerous it is to lose your shadow, especially if the other party is a person who controls the power of immortality, if you are not careful, you may be replaced by your own shadow.

Rest assured, we will help you get back your lost shadow, in the name of the Lord of Shadows, no one can take any wealth from us, especially the Shadows, all for the Lord of Shadows. ”

"All for the Lord of Shadows, thank you, I will take my leave." The Shadow Assassin was unwilling, but he knew that what the Shadow Master said was the truth.

His current strength has been greatly reduced, and it is a very dangerous thing to venture out on a mission again.

Perhaps, the other party is trying to hunt and kill him, trying to extract information about the Shadow Master Guild from his mouth.

The information he has is not comparable to that of an outsider in Parado.

As the Shadow Assassin Feodore exited the Temple of Shadows, the place fell silent again, as if everything that had happened before was an illusion and that no one had ever existed here.

The Shadow Master Guild is a very secretive organization of thieves, and this secrecy is not only for outsiders, but also within the organization.

Even at the level of the Shadow Assassin Feodore, he had never seen the true face of a Shadow Master, and even he didn't know how many Shadow Masters there were in the Shadow Master Guild.

Just like themselves, those Shadow Masters are top masters of disguise, and they don't have more than one face.

Perhaps the humble roadside peddlers of Tyfram, or the cowardly merchants, were disguised by some Shadow Master, who were everywhere and everywhere.

……

"Whew...... Call...... ...... "The city lord of Parador gasped violently for a few minutes before he felt that he had come back to life, and hurriedly bowed to Gavin, "Thank you for saving your life, Lord General, I didn't expect those despicable thieves to send the shadow of the shadow assassin to lurk in my shadow......"

This time, Gavin no longer pretended to be stupid, and asked, "The Shadow Assassin you are talking about can't be the assassin of the Shadow Master Guild, right?" ”

"Since Lord General has heard of the Shadow Master Guild, it is better to explain." Parrado wasn't surprised that Gavin knew about the Shadow Masters Guild.

After all, at the level of the other party, there are many sources, and if you don't know anything, then there is a problem with your ability.

Parrado gritted his teeth, "This Thieves' Guild is the biggest parasite of Typhram, and they control most of the hotels, casinos, and halls of pleasure here.

From the hands of legitimate merchants and wealthy people, who even kept no less than three pirates in captivity in the Falling Star Sea.

Many merchants who are unwilling to pay them protection money will be attacked by pirates until they have paid the full protection money. ”

The city lord of Parador has been dissatisfied with the Shadow Master Guild for a long time, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak.

There is no legitimate businessman who does not hate or dislike such a thief organization, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the wealth they have worked so hard to get back has gone into the pockets of others, and no one wants to change it.

But they have no ability to resist, so they can only swallow their anger.

"They really make money, I'm afraid they are the richest group of people in the whole Taifu Lanmu." Gavin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He knew that the methods of the Shadow Master Guild were shady, but he didn't expect that it would be so shady and have such a low moral bottom line, and it would be able to compete with the red-robed mages of the Serre Kingdom and the Santarin Society of the Sea of Moon.

Anyway, it's all about money and power.

"Yes." The city lord of Parado nodded and said, "At least half of the annual income of Tyfram City goes into their pockets.

However, they are not ordinary thieves' guilds, but the church of Musk, the Lord of the Thieves, who considers Typhram to be their own realm of faith.

The Lady of Strategy wants to set foot here, but I am afraid that they will face strong opposition, and even I will suffer with it. ”

"I'm afraid that the city lord is too worried, and I guess they are now eager for me to bring in the strategy lady, only in this way can I help them fight the thunder and help them defend Typhram.

As you have just said, at least half of Typhram's annual income goes into their pockets, and they must be most concerned about Typhram's safety, and they are the least willing to let the city suffer from the ravages of war.

The reason why thieves are thieves is because they always dare to hide in the shadows and steal for a living, instead of standing in the open.

So are the thieves of the Masters of Shadows, and so are their masters.

Believe me, our plan to please the gods, the thieves of the Shadow Master Guild will not only not stop the destruction, but on the contrary, it is very likely that they will support it in secret. Gavin analyzed with a smile.

He had long known the details of the Shadow Master Guild, so he naturally analyzed this guild thoroughly, as if he had seen their latest decision-making in person.

Parado couldn't help but pause, and after thinking for a while, he nodded involuntarily and said, "The general's analysis is clear, according to the previous style of those thieves, they can't do it.

But they will not give up their things easily, maybe they are plotting some kind of conspiracy in the shadows, and at the critical moment, stab us in the back and seize the fruits of victory. ”

No matter what the Shadow Master had, there was no turning back for him anyway.

It is estimated that the news of his betrayal of the Shadow Master Guild has been transmitted back to the lair, and more Shadow Assassins will come to the door at any time, and if necessary, the Shadow Master will personally intervene.

"You yourself said that it is the fruit of victory, not the fruit of defeat, provided that you have seen the hope of victory."

Gavin agreed with Parrado's analysis and offered his own opinion, "Even if we succeed in enlisting the help of the Lady of Strategy, the most she can do is help us stop the Khan of Yamen from destroying the city defenses of Tyfram and letting his army enter Typhram.

There is no way to stop the entire Tucan army, this large army of Tucan cavalry and undead, and we have to find a way to resist it ourselves, this is not an easy task, they are only twice the number of the entire army and civilians of Typhram.

We must work together to have a silver lining. ”

The city lord of Parador nodded involuntarily and said, "That's true, only by pinching the five fingers into a fist can the strength reach the maximum.

The command ability of the general is obvious to all, and our 50,000 city defense mercenaries in Taflamm are willing to hand over to the general for unified command. ”

Although this Typhram City Lord has been controlled by the Shadow Master Guild for many years, it does not mean that he has no ability at all.

Surviving in the cracks for many years is also a kind of ability, and it is not lacking in decisiveness.

Now that the Shadow Master Guild has offended, this thick thigh must be held tightly.

As long as the Lady of Strategy's faith is successfully established in Typhram, the Shadow Master's Guild will no longer be a monopoly here.

Not only is their own safety relatively guaranteed, but the interests of these legitimate merchants will also be more secure, and the invisible shadow rope tied to them will be much looser.

It's just that this kind of less-to-more is a great test of commanding ability, and this is what Typhram City lacks the most, and even if Parrado racked his brains, he didn't think of a person who could take on this great responsibility.

The voters of the scheming lady in front of her are undoubtedly the best candidates.

"Thank you Lord for your trust, I will definitely live up to your expectations." Gavin didn't shy away.

Even if the city lord of Parrado didn't take the initiative, he would force him to hand over the command of the mercenary city defense army in his hand and hand it over to him for unified deployment and command.

It is taboo on the battlefield to order multiple doors.

Especially when the Tucans have an absolute superiority in troops, if there is no way to grasp the command in their own hands, this battle will not be fought at all.

"That's as it should be, after all, the general is fighting to protect our Tafram." The city lord of Parrado said with enthusiasm on his face, "If there is anything else that the general needs me to do, I will definitely do my best to cooperate." ”

"Your task is mainly to cooperate with the promotion of the faith of the Lady of Strategy, find a suitable place to place the statue of the Lady of Strategy, and the entire Typhram, at least eight statues of the god must be placed, so as to ensure that the citizens of the whole city can see her figure, and it is more convenient to gather the prayers of the citizens, and if necessary, the spirit of the Lady of Strategy can even attach to these statues and activate them for battle."

Gavin, who has his own idols, knows that these idols are not decorations, but have a real role, especially the idols that condense a lot of faith and infuse divinity, and they have all kinds of unbelievable effects.

Naturally, this ability cannot be unique to oneself, but an ability that all gods possess.

That's why few people dare to attack or desecrate churches or monasteries, because the slightest mistake can provoke the spirits of the gods to descend and turn the statue of the god into a terrible tool of murder.

This is also the foundation of the future of the Lady of Strategy in Typhram, since these gods are erected, they cannot be easily dismantled, unless they want to blaspheme and want to start a divine war.

Eight is just the number that Gavin has condensed in the Dragon Oak Mother Tree at the moment, and the Dragon Oak Mother Tree is now in full swing, racing against time to condense.

The final number depends on how powerful the dragon oak mother tree is.

Anyway, the more the merrier.

"It's nature." The Lord of Parrado patted his chest and promised, "I will definitely mobilize all the people who can mobilize Typhram, and do my best to spread the power of the Lady of Strategy, and I believe that as long as you are not stupid, you will actively cooperate, after all, this is to protect our own safety." ”

Without considering the threat of the Shadow Master's Guild, Parrado was not resistant to this task, after all, faith was useless to them, and they didn't need to pay out of their own pockets, so why not?

"Tell us about the Shadow Masters Guild, how many of them are there in Typhram? Where is their lair? How are the internal hierarchies divided? Gavin shifted the conversation to the real ruler behind the scenes of Typhram.

Grace's Shadow Wings have infiltrated Typhram for a month, and have been secretly battling the Shadow Master's thieves for countless rounds.

However, the information gathered is still relatively limited, and only stays on the surface of the periphery - the gangsters and thieves guilds that have been placed in the light by the Shadow Master Guild.

They are just the outer organization of the Shadow Master Guild, their money-collecting tools and thug minions, just like the Shadow Guild in Usmail City, only a very small number of high-level leaders know who they owe allegiance to, and most of the members don't know at all.

The city lord of Parador said with a helpless face: "I'm not afraid of the general's jokes when I say it, I can't answer your questions, because the thieves of the Shadow Master Guild are not only good at stealing, but also good at disguise deception, and even transformation."

Most of their members are disguised and lurking among the common people, whether it is those peddlers and pawns, or those merchants and mercenaries, there are their members and eyeliners, they are everywhere and everywhere.

In Tefram, everyone is at risk, and they can't trust anyone at all, because no one knows if there is another identity behind the other party.

The only thing that is certain is that their lair is definitely not in Turbo Lamb City, but hidden in a more secret place, and most of the outer members of the Shadow Master Guild have no chance to go, only those core members have a chance. ”

"Their secrecy is a perfect job." Gavin was still unsurprised, and what Parador said matched what he knew.

The controlled personnel like the Parador City Lord, not even the peripheral members of the Shadow Master Guild, are the targets of their defense, and it is impossible for them to grasp too many core secrets.

It is not excluded that another possibility is that the city lord of Parrado is himself a senior member of the Shadow Master Guild, and everything is a self-directed and self-acting bitter ploy, in order to lure himself into the game.

He wouldn't trust the city lord of Parador so easily, and the other party was the same, he must have reservations about himself, this is human nature.

"The only thing I know is that the Shadow Master Guild is made up of five estates, namely the Outlying Order, Guild Thieves, Shadow Dancer, Shadow Assassin, and Shadow Master.

This class division is not only a symbol of identity, but also a symbol of strength, and it needs to be selected through layers and make great contributions to the Shadow Master Guild in order to rise step by step.

The higher the level, the higher the degree of secrecy, and the more secret their whereabouts are, not to mention outsiders, even if they are insiders, they are not completely aware of their high-level identities.

The first three classes are most common in Tefram, where the Shadow Assassins rarely reveal their whereabouts, and only leave their own mark on the scene of assassination or theft.

As for the Shadow Masters, I've only heard their names and never really seen them, they rarely do it themselves, mostly lurking in the shadows, manipulating other thieves and even innocent people to achieve their own ends.

The vast amount of intelligence and privacy in their hands is the sharpest tool in their hands. "The city lord of Parrado finally revealed something useful, but it is just a big road goods, and it is not very difficult to get it.

Gavin nodded knowingly, and then said to the shadows not far away, "Grace." ”

"Yes." As the shadows fluctuated, the slender necromancer stepped out of it.

Seeing this situation, the fat on the face of the city lord of Parador shook involuntarily, and the sweat surged out uncontrollably, only to feel his head buzzing, and a fearful thought involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Could it be that the Lady of Strategy in front of her is also a member of the Shadow Masters Guild?

As if guessing what the Parrado City Lord was thinking, Gavin took the initiative to explain: "Don't worry, there are many people in this world who can use the power of shadows, and not all of them are followers of the Lord of Shadows.

This is my men, they are also skilled in the use of shadow power, and they have an advantage in fighting shadows that ordinary people do not have.

Although it is unlikely that the Shadow Master Guild will take action against you again before the Tucans are repulsed, we must not be unguarded, and she will follow you for the next period of time, which can not only protect your safety, but also allow me to communicate with you in time through her to ensure the smooth progress of the plan. ”

"Thank you, Shogun, for your thoughtfulness." The lord of Parador was grateful.

As smart as he is, of course he knows that this cold woman who is dormant in the shadows has another task, and that is to monitor herself and not give herself a chance to reconnect with the Shadow Master Guild.

"Now there is one last thing that needs to be troubled by the city lord."

"Your Excellency Shogun, just say."

"I need to transfer some of the exclusive sacrifices of the Lady of Strategy from the Heartland region to spread the teachings of the Lady of Strategy, assist in the reorganization of the army and defense, and I must have the permission to teleport in the city of Tyfram......"

"This is the key of the city lord of the city defense of Typhram City, as long as you hold it, the general can directly teleport people in." The city lord of Parador was a bachelor, and he directly dragged the city lord's key from his neck and handed it to Gavin.

"Then I'll borrow it for a while, and then return it to the city lord after the war." Gavin was not polite and took it directly.

There are many places that need to use it next, not only to deploy troops, but also to understand all the characteristics of this city defense puzzle, and formulate corresponding defensive tactics according to it, it is impossible for him to consult with the city lord of Parador on everything.

Parrado took the initiative to resign: "If there is nothing else, I will mobilize people and carry out city-wide propaganda." ”

For him, the plan was too sudden, and the time left for them was too limited, and there was a lot to do.

"You start preparing first, and it won't be long before I bring a large number of professionals to assist you." Gavin said that it was naturally the Propaganda Department of his own territory.

Even before it was integrated into the Systems Division, Regina had already shown her extraordinary abilities.

With Gavin's unsparing support, with the support of a large number of manpower and material resources, it is natural to go to the next level.

In Faerun, in the propaganda section, the Propaganda Department of the Battle Valley said second, and no one dared to say first.

"Okay." The city lord of Parador had no idea about this at all, and after a perfunctory response, he left in a hurry.

As soon as the Parador Lord left, Gavin couldn't wait to manipulate the Castle Lord's Key of Typhram.

This Castle Lord's Key is a decent one, and in response to the key's name, it is made into the appearance of a golden key, and in essence, like the Mind Gem, it is used to control the Typhram City Defense Lock. (End of chapter)
