Broad World

"I didn't pay much attention before, but it seems that there is a problem when you say that. Every time we are about to gain a foothold, something will happen immediately... Either the allies are betrayed, or we are under siege, as if... as if Someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes..."

Akanis walked back and forth, lowering his head and muttering to himself in a low voice. Although he wasn't smart, he wasn't stupid either. He quickly noticed something was wrong in his previous failed actions, and he didn't feel very well.

You must know that the Shadow Thief has been toyed with by this invisible black hand unknowingly no less than twenty times, and almost every failure has caused heavy losses. Leaving aside material and financial resources, there are as many as hundreds of people who died. Most of them are elite players. The high-level officials, including Bloodhead, had always thought that Calimport's exclusiveness caused everything, but now it seems that it may not be that simple.

After thinking about it, the legendary thief scratched his dirty and sticky scalp, turned around and asked, "You seem to know who is behind the scenes to control everything, right?"

Seeing the expression of fear and anger on the other party's face, Henry laughed and spread his hands: "Hahahahaha! Of course, I came all the way to Calimport just to meet them, so let's take a look Can we reach some cooperation intentions. But these guys like to hide their tracks, so we can only make some big moves to lure them out. How about it, do you want to get involved too?"

"You mean them...not him?!! This means that it is a group of people or an organization hiding behind the scenes to control the situation, not one or two people?" Arcanis keenly found a breakthrough from the title point, and immediately asked with bright eyes.

He knew very well how weak the shadow thief was in the south, and he couldn't even deliver the news in time, let alone investigate an organization hidden behind the scenes that could control the entire underground forces in Calimport. So this inscrutable ally in front of him is the only hope.

"Yes, an organization, a powerful organization that controls about half of the nobles, merchants, and underground forces in Calimshan. Outsiders call them the Talisman Society, and they call themselves the Entangled Talisman. A secret group composed of biological spellcasters that has existed for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted in this land. Anyone, force, or god who wants to survive here must obtain their permission. You shadow thieves have come from We got it wrong in the first place, so failure is a matter of course."

Henry had no intention of hiding it at all, and directly revealed the old background of the Magic Talisman Society, and at the same time pointed out the reason why the Shadow Thieves Guild had been unable to infiltrate.

In fact, he was spreading the news consciously, so that more people would know about the Magic Talisman Society, forcing it to slowly come to the fore.

As a conspirator, Henry felt that it was too dangerous for this organization to have been lurking behind the scenes of Calimshan. As the saying goes, he has hidden countless secrets himself, so the Magic Talisman Society must be similar. Force the opponent out earlier, so that the Harper Alliance and the Good God Cult have a clear goal.

As long as you are targeted by these haters, no matter what the master of symbols is doing behind the scenes. There will always be a large group of so-called adventurers charging forward, let alone carrying out evil plans, just busy dealing with endless troubles will rack their brains.

In fact, in terms of destructive power, the guys in the evil camp are far from those extreme idealists, and the proportion of extreme idealists in the Harper Alliance is quite high, so they can always, under seemingly impossible circumstances, Mess up the enemy's plans, about that. The Zhentarim would know well that no matter how hard they guard, there is always a Harper who can get inside and steal the information.

Of course, Henry didn't want the magic talisman to fall, but he hoped that they would confront the undead emperor Sean VII. It would be even better if Ivy Kelasagran, the ancient blue dragon, was involved, and the South would definitely In a mess, he can not only expand his power. And you can take the opportunity to get more people.

You must know that the Calinshan region can be said to be the country with the most abundant population resources in the entire Faerun continent. There are more than four large cities with more than 100,000 people, plus slaves accounting for about 30% of the population. , for the West Hartland Kingdom, which is seriously lacking in labor force, it is tantamount to paradise.

But Arcanis obviously didn't know this, and he was still in shock. Now he finally knows why the terms were clearly negotiated two days ago, but why the other party suddenly planned to cheat during the transaction. It turned out that everything was manipulated by someone.

Thinking of having a pair of eyes watching him all the time, the legendary thief suddenly sweated all over his body, and asked with lingering fear: "Are you sure you won't offend them by cooperating with me?"

"No, because I have the information these guys need, and I have enough strength to ensure that the other party won't be fooled. Come on, let's turn Calimport upside down, compared to you being angry , I definitely want to vent it." Henry stood up from the chair and stretched out a hand.

Arcanis was a little hesitant, because the bloodhead had repeatedly told him not to kill. Although things are different now, he can't be sure that doing so will backfire.

"I can help Bloodhead realize his wish and get a piece of territory in Calimport." Henry used his trump card at the critical moment.

Without saying a word, Arcanis stretched out a hand and shook them together.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

The two allies who have cooperated many times have reached an agreement again, and they are about to set off a bloody storm in the city...

Sudden!

The door of the room was kicked open with a slam, followed by a whirl of more than 20 naked-eyed people holding weapons, the leaders of which were Wahid and his twin sons. As for Fatini, the ventilator The little girl who reported the letter hid at the back, hiding half of her face at the door.

"Boss! Are you okay?" Wahid asked quite nervously.

Henry smiled and shook his head and replied: "Of course it's okay, don't you see that we are shaking hands?"

"Phew! The alarm is off! Let's go!"

Seeing that it was a false alarm, Wahid immediately turned around and waved his hands vigorously, driving the rushing people out. He could feel that Henry was very relaxed at the moment, not at all like he had just been assassinated.

"Damn it! I thought I could finally perform well!" A woman who looked very tough murmured.

A strong man next to her touched his bald head and sighed: "Yes, I have been here for more than ten days, eating and drinking all day long, and my only job is to manage those honest workers. I am almost bored to death!"

"Hey! You must be complaining about not being able to show your skills in front of the boss."

"Shit! Do you dare to say that you didn't want to show it just now?"

...

All of a sudden, more than 20 people were discussing, almost all complaining about being too free. You can tell they're all real thugs, hungry for kill and blood, and pretty bored with their days of relative peace.

Glancing at the sturdy backs of these guys, Akanis smiled across his face: "Good men, I really didn't expect you to be able to recruit so many good men in such a short period of time."

"That's because I am alone, not like you represent the Shadow Thief of Amn. The Talisman Society can allow powerful individuals to develop here, but it is absolutely impossible to tolerate a powerful organization. This is a tolerance Question, I believe you should understand." Henry lowered his voice and said in the ear of the legendary thief.

He had figured this out, so he came to Calimport alone in disguise. Otherwise, he might have to face the same predicament as the Shadow Thief now, and he wouldn't even be able to catch the tail of the Lord of Talismans.

Arcanis sighed helplessly: "Hey...you are right, we did make a wrong judgment, and I hope there is still time to correct it."

"Don't worry, I already have a perfect plan. As long as you proceed step by step, those behind-the-scenes hands will definitely show up one by one. At that time, we will use negotiations to solve all problems. In addition, you should go take a good bath." Henry Deliberately pinching his nose, pretending to be disgusted.

In fact, he had already lost his sense of smell, he couldn't smell anything at all, he just put on a show.

As a human being with a normal sense of smell, Arcanis is well aware of how stinky he is, but he still has some things to deal with, so he grabs Henry who wants to leave.

"Wait, there are more important things than taking a bath. I have a dozen of my men trapped in the dump in the docklands, can you find a way to get them all out. Besides, there are a large number of "Bliss Dreamland" is waiting to be dealt with."

"Oh?! No wonder Bloodhead asked you to come and visit in person. It turned out that he planned to use this thing to knock on the door of Calimport's underground world. Don't worry, I will arrange everything. As for this batch of goods, just give it to me. , it will be of great use in just two days.”

Without thinking about it, Henry withheld Shadow Thief's goods, and planned to use them to attract customers after the store opened. After all, this kind of spore plant does not cause much harm to the body, and it can't kill people if it is smoked continuously for ten or twenty years, but it is relatively addictive, which is half a catty compared with tobacco.

He didn't have time to wait for the surrounding business environment to slowly mature, so he had to play some tricks to make the leaders of various gangs think that this place could make a lot of money, and they joined in to complete the bundle of interests.

Of course, before that, all those seemingly powerful guilds must be dismantled and divided into a dozen or even twenty guilds. Only in this way can Phantom, as the king of the dark world, overwhelm all opposing voices and complete Karin's guild. The first gang integration in Hong Kong history.

"No problem, I can give it to you if you want it, anyway, it was originally provided by you." Akanis smiled indifferently.

Things have developed to this point, it is no longer under his control, and now there is no other choice but to believe in allies. It's just a batch of processed goods. According to the current financial situation of the bloody head, this loss is completely affordable. (to be continued ~^~)
