An ordinary fantasy adventure in the continent of Faerun

investigation?

Investigate who is secretly influencing the actions of the Baal sect?

"Lord Ranyan, what you mean is that you suspect that someone in the city is secretly supporting the Baal sect?"

"It's not suspicion, it's certainty! Someone must be helping them!"

Palestine slammed the table and said angrily.

"It's been half a year! 400 people have died in this ridiculous murder in Baldur's Gate! Hundreds of families have been destroyed, and more than a dozen families have been brutally massacred! No one is left alive!"

"Flame Fist has been working hard on this matter. We have hanged countless assassins. The gallows next to the Basilisk Gate is already full, but those are just small fish and shrimps!"

"We didn't catch any big fish, and the detectives we hired couldn't find any clues. Logically speaking, this is impossible. Someone must be up to something! And this person is very powerful!"

"Especially because the Grand Duke disappeared unexpectedly a few days ago. Various coincidences made me suspect that this was a premeditated usurpation. However, we had never known who was planning this conspiracy before. We didn't even know clearly. object of suspicion."

Palestine breathed heavily.

"Ha—although there is no clear suspect, the only people who can do such a thing are the nobles in the upper city. However, Flame Fist has no right to search those nobles before getting the exact order, so I can only ask you. ”

Palestine suppressed the anger in his heart and tried to speak to Nohir in a calm tone.

"As long as you accept this task, you will receive a very generous reward, a full 2,000 gold coins or a selection of high-quality enchanted equipment from the treasure house, as well as my personal gratitude. To be honest, the latter one may be more valuable."

Palestine said the second half of the sentence in a joking tone and then looked at Nohir seriously. He really felt that Nohir was capable of completing this task.

He himself must not leave the fortress easily at the moment, otherwise the peaceful situation may be broken.

After all, now that the Grand Duke has left, the interior of Flame Fist has become less monolithic. As one of the highest-ranking commanders within the Flame Fist Legion, he must not leave his garrison without receiving an order.

If he really does that, it will only make the situation worse. The soldiers in the city may directly mutiny at this moment of turmoil, so his troops cannot move at will.

But he couldn't do nothing, otherwise he could only watch the situation develop in a worse direction, and at this moment, Nohir appeared.

Able to destroy an entire squad of assassins by himself, and even deliberately leave one alive. He is powerful and agile, and can even be recognized by a paladin. This tiefling warrior in front of him is already the best candidate. .

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. Just return the token and leave. But if you can help us find out the murderer behind this incident, Flame Fist can mobilize the entire army to drive those cancers out of the city. You can also You don’t have to worry about the troubles those assassins will bring you.”

Nohir weighed the heavy purse in his hand with one hand. The sound of gold coins clattering inexplicably washed away his annoyance, and the reasons given by Palestine made him think of the possibility of rejection.

Nohir turned his head and glanced at Ska, who also nodded to him.

"It's such a generous reward, and we really can't think of any reason to refuse it, so yes, we are willing to accept this commission."

"Not only because of this generous reward, but also because of your personal friendship."

Nohill responded to Palestine's previous joke, and these words also made Palestine smile at the corners of his mouth. Although it was somewhat unclear due to the obstruction of his thick beard, the expression on his face still revealed this.

"Hahaha, in the name of Ranyan, my friendship is definitely much more valuable than those gold coins!"

"You will not regret the decision you make today, my friend."

Nohir smiled noncommittally, and Palestine stopped joking. He said to Nohir seriously.

"Go, noble warrior, Baldur's Gate will not forget your efforts. That token will allow you to freely enter and exit the upper and lower cities. The Flame Fist will also help you block most trivial matters during your actions. "

"As long as you know any valuable information, you can come to Feilongyan Fortress to find me."

Nohir nodded to Palestine, then turned around and left the office with Scar.

He did not tell Palestine the intelligence he had speculated so far. First, there was no evidence. Second, his trust in this person was still relatively weak. Third, as ordinary adventurers, they had no reason to know so many things.

——

The suspension bridge slowly lowered, and Nohir and Ska stepped onto the second half of the Feilong Bridge. Nohir looked at the bag of gold coins in his hand and began to worry about how to spend it, while Ska asked Nohir directly. asked.

"So what happened? Nohir."

Only then did Nohill remember that Ska didn't seem to know what was going on, so he walked straight away and explained to Ska the events he had encountered in the past half day, as well as what he had learned by asking the union staff and the Harpers. information.

"I see. I really don't know if this is bad luck or luck, but judging from the results, it should be considered good luck."

Ska felt a little sad about Noshir's experience, and at the same time he admired Noshir's ability. Not only could he find out so much information in such a short time, but he could also defeat an entire assassin team alone.

He looks very young, but he is very strong and experienced. I really didn't make a mistake, Scar thought.

Scar exhaled, suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Noshir.

"What should we do next? Noshir, the situation in Baldur's Gate seems to be very tense now. What should we do next in this situation?"

Noshir began to ponder after hearing this.

"... Let's go to the lower city to find a place to stay first, and by the way, convert this money into combat power. We will go to the upper city early the next morning. I already have a very clear suspect."

Noshir suspected Duke Saramala Van Sample. The time when she came to power and the time when Xie Nian came to power were inevitably too coincidental, which made people have to think more about the twists and turns in it.

"If everything goes well, we can complete the Palestine Commission and find the real culprit behind the fall of Eltoril. I suspect that these two seemingly unrelated conspiracies are the work of the same group of people."

"Who?"

"Duke Salamara VanSample."

"Why do you suspect her?"

"The time she took office and the area she governs, these two points alone make me suspect that this duke is involved with those cultists. Combined with my previous inferences from high-ranking conspirators, whether this duke is involved in Eltoril's affairs or not, she is highly suspected."

"So I plan to sneak into the duke's mansion tomorrow. If I really find evidence there, we will directly contact the Flame Fist to catch them all in one fell swoop."
