Artificer Adventure Guide

"ah?"

When he heard that the victim was the second-in-command of the police station, Karl subconsciously shouted.

This reminded him of the plot of "Infernal Affairs".

He just didn't know whether the man in the trench coat he saw was the murderer, or whether the dead deputy director was an undercover agent of the evil forces.

"Don't be too nervous. Our police station has dispatched all police officers and has also commissioned detectives to find the truth. If nothing else happens..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Karl quickly raised his hand to stop the other party's next words, and then said:

"Hey! Don't say the next words. Generally speaking, after a police officer says something like this, something will happen."

Almost at the same time that Karl finished speaking, there was a sudden roar in the distance.

A group of guys driving giant mechanical spiders came speeding down the corridor in the distance, and the onlookers quickly fled the scene as if they had seen a ghost.

"The Claw Gang is an organization relatively high on the anti-blacklist. It is rumored that they are related to the Knights of the Emerald Claw and their behavior is very cruel."

Looking quickly over the construction machinery, the police officer quietly introduced the origin of this group of uninvited guests to Karl.

"Knights of the Emerald Claw? Why don't you just capture them all and kill them?"

The infamous Order of the Emerald Claw is a terrorist organization that relies on the power of the undead to do evil.

They were once the army of the Kingdom of Karrnath, but because they were obsessed with the power of the undead, they completely let themselves go after the war.

Each member of the Order of the Emerald Claw can easily raise an army of undead, making them almost unmatched in the countryside.

Sighing, the police officer pointed to the police badge on his chest.

"I would like to, but rumors cannot be used as evidence. Moreover, they may have some connections with the top management of Sarn."

Thinking of the current situation in the Kingdom of Breland, Karl nodded clearly.

In just a few words, the Claw Gang driving a mechanical spider had already arrived.

"Hey! It looks like this corridor is seriously damaged. Okay, seal it off and don't let ordinary citizens bump into it!"

The Thousand Pagodas are connected by various corridors. Some corridors are very wide, like a square, while others are extremely narrow and can only allow one person to pass.

In order to maintain these corridors, Sarn's government allocates funds every year.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to get these orders, so various gang forces are gradually born due to the gathering of interests.

The person who spoke just now was a gang leader of the Claw Gang. At this time, he was sitting on a two-meter-high and four-meter-wide mechanical spider, giving orders to his men.

These mechanical spiders are designed for repairing corridors at high altitudes. They can ensure the safety of the repairers to the greatest extent.

But now, these things have become the Talon gang's means of transportation and their means of intimidating ordinary citizens.

"There's an attack here now! Take your people and leave. If something goes wrong, your boss won't be able to protect you!"

Over at the police station, a police officer shouted in a loud voice.

"Ha! If I don't deal with you, I won't be able to report to my boss. Brothers, give me..."

"Buzz——"

Before the gang leader could finish his words, the roar of the chainsaw sounded again.

Hope, who once again unleashed his fury, swung the chainsaw and slashed at the leg of a mechanical spider. The toothed blade refined by Karl immediately tore open the shell of the mechanical spider and chopped off one of its legs.

This brutal scene frightened the minions controlling the mechanical spider.

Not caring about attacking Hope, he jumped out of the cockpit.

Although Khorvaire is rich in resources, not everyone can become a professional and advance to a high level.

The bosses of these minions might have some strength, but they themselves...heh, they're just a bunch of weaklings who bully the weak and fear the strong.

"MD! They are all trash, get out of here! I will do it myself!"

Pushing away the younger brother next to him, the leader of this group of minions controlled the mechanical spider, seeming to want to defeat Hope with this engineering machine.

Seeing their boss charging forward, the minions who were too scared to move started their mechanical spiders and rushed towards Hope.

Seeing this, Karl didn't say much and put his helmet back on.

"You Sann are really free!"

Saying these words to the police officer beside him, Karl reactivated the fire element power inside the dragon crystal and soared into the sky.

Ignoring those minions, he, like Hope, rushed directly towards the little leader.

As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Once the leader is taken care of, the rest will be easy to deal with.

Soon enough, the mechanical spider's claws suddenly shot out at the same time as Hope rushed up, piercing Hope like a spear.

Hope directly set up the chainsaw to block, but the power of the mechanical spider was far beyond her expectation, and she failed to block it.

Seeing that the spider's claws were about to pierce Hope's arm, Carl dropped a hammer from the sky and hit the mechanical joint of the claws.

With a crisp sound of "click", the joint position was broken, and the front part of the cheliped fell to the ground.

The next second, Hope's attack came on the mechanical spider.

The entire cab was cut open by her, and the little boss who looked brave just now was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Flying forward, Carl grabbed the little leader, holding up a hammer bigger than his head, and asked him:

"Tell me! Who asked you to come here!"

While saying this, Carl mobilized his magic power and made lightning flash on the hammer.

"I, I won't tell you! If you have the guts, just kill me... Ah——! I said, I said, our boss asked me to come here, he said that as long as he kills you, he will promote me to the third in command of the gang, I..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Carl hit the other party's head with a hammer.

"Hey! Police officer, did you hear that clearly?"

Carl dragged the little leader to the ground like dragging a dead dog.

The remaining gang members seemed to want to resist stubbornly, but the police officers were not all vegetarians. They gave them a little pain with their magic wands, and they surrendered one by one.

There were a few who couldn't tell the situation and shouted that they would give them a little color, but soon, they were beaten black and blue and couldn't speak anymore.

Although the laws of Sharn are liberal, they are not democratic.

No one would be dissatisfied with the police beating up street thugs.

Human rights? What human rights do these rats in the gutter have?

Ordinary people only dare not fight them because they have elderly and children at home. If it were adventurers returning to Khorvaire from Xen'drik, these guys might be grabbed by the neck and bled one by one.

There are no laws in the lower district of Sharn.

And this corridor happens to belong to the lower district.
