Don't call me evil god

Chapter 107 Cunning Shadow·Stone Crusher

Pate was startled!

They are connected!

Cunning Shadow·Stone Crusher, as Lena had introduced him, is the kind of goblin broker that is very common in Green Harbor, commonly known as "middleman" or "intermediary".

They take tasks from employers, and then find people who can complete the tasks through their own channels.

For employers, it saves the trouble of finding people. The labor found by middlemen is often reliable, and there is no need to worry about the task being messed up by the unsuitable people;

For the employed people, it saves them the energy of looking for work everywhere, and at most the remuneration will be taken away by the middleman.

And with the existence of middlemen, the identity of the employer can be kept confidential.

If Cunning Shadow·Stone Crusher is just an ordinary broker, even if he wants to weave a sophisticated scam that can deceive people, he should not have enough resources.

But if Bishop Skate also gets involved, the situation will be different!

Pete and Gale didn't know how much money Bishop Skate had, but as the bishop of the Glowing God branch in Greenport, he was definitely a top-ranked person in Greenport in terms of wealth and status.

Witnessing Skate and Cunning Shadow Crushed Stone walking into a luxurious guest room in the manor, Pete and Gale hurried over and gently pushed the door of the guest room open a crack, trying to eavesdrop on the movement inside.

Because it was eavesdropping, the sound was not very clear, and only some fragments could be heard vaguely.

First, there was a slightly sharp voice, and it was obvious that it was the goblin speaking:

"My Lord Bishop, according to... instructions, the Gilded Club... is very effective."

"I contacted them one by one privately... and said that I could give them extra..., and now I have collected it..."

Then, it changed to a thicker voice.

Pete and Gale had heard Bishop Skate's speeches and sermons in the church of the Glowing God before, and they could tell that this was the other person's voice.

"Yes, don't worry, ... I've said that I will show up when necessary."

"Next, you need to go and find Dursley and tell him ... to warn him."

"Tell him to be more restrained, the cannon fodder was almost discovered."

"The time ... remains unchanged, when the time is right, ... we will go to the agreed place."

Then the voice of the goblin Cunning Shadow·Stonebreaker sounded again:

"Understood!"

"I'll go right away."

The voice of Bishop Sket sounded again:

"By the way, ... the rune stone is for you!"

"Before finding Dursley, go ..."

"Just say they are ..., take the people away from inside, Dursley knows how to deal with it."

"..."

Hearing that the conversation in the room seemed to end, Pete and Gale closed the door quietly and quickly. In order to prevent being discovered by Cunning Shadow·Stonebreaker who was about to leave, they quickly hid in another unmanned guest room next door and hid for the time being.

Although the content heard was not so clear, the amount of information in this conversation was already large enough!

The most important point is that Bishop Sket and the Bloodfang Gang Dursley really have a shameful deal!

Bishop Skate had obviously known about the images of Bloodfang Gang members showing symptoms of evil god contamination that Miranda had recorded with the crystal in the lower city.

What shocked Pete was that before this, he could not imagine that the Glorious God Cult, which had always been at odds with the evil god, and the high-ranking branch bishop, would actually collude with the Bloodfang Gang contaminated by the evil god!

Even from the fragments that could be heard in the second half of Bishop Skate's words, in order to suppress the evidence found by Miranda, he seemed to be willing to use silencing to solve the problem!

If Pete and Gail had not come here and overheard this conversation, the naive Miranda Warren would be in danger.

However, now that they have this important information, it means that Pete and his team have the initiative to turn the situation around!

Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing in the corridor outside, followed by the sound of boots stepping on the ground, Pete patted Gail lightly and gestured to continue tracking.

Gail immediately understood, quietly opened the door, and followed the cunning shadow·Smallstone who was walking away quickly in the distance!

…

After walking through the manor and turning several corners, the environment in the corridor became more and more familiar. Gail reacted first and signaled to Pete with his mouth:

“Wine cellar, secret passage!”

Pet suddenly realized.

No wonder when the manor was built, Cunning Shadow·Smallstone specifically asked the people of the Stonemason Brotherhood to prepare a hidden route for him to enter and exit the manor.

It turned out that it was used in this situation.

If Cunning Shadow·Smallstone entered the wine cellar, their tracking would face great difficulties.

Because the environment in the wine cellar was too quiet, the footsteps would become very obvious.

Waiting for the target to leave the secret passage and then chasing him, there is a possibility of losing him.

After a little thought, Pete had an idea:

“I will hold him back! You rush to enter the secret passage first, and then ambush at the exit!”

The underground wine cellar is still considered to be within the scope of the manor, and within the scope of the manor, they cannot directly attack Cunning Shadow·Smallstone.

This kind of large luxury manor will invite a 4th-level archmage to set up a [Guard Engraving] magic circle that can last for a year. When it detects someone in the manor using offensive combat skills, magic, or divine arts, or when a conflict or murder occurs, the circle will automatically issue a warning.

After agreeing on the plan, Pete organized his facial expressions to make his next performance look more real.

No longer hiding his figure, he deliberately made obvious footsteps and quickly chased after the cunning shadow·Stone in front of him, shouting enthusiastically:

"Sir, Sir!"

Cunning shadow·Stone stopped, turned around and saw Pete, and asked in confusion: "Sir, what do you want to see me for?"

Pet confirmed: "Sir, Stone, I remember you said you planned to join the Gilded Club and invest 1,500 gold coins, right?"

Stone was stunned at first, and then immediately reacted: "Ah, yes, yes, because I have 1,500 gold coins and don't know what to do to make more money, and this opportunity just happened to come!"

"It's a pity that Meng Mr. Ge has set a limit, and the maximum investment is 1,000 gold. "

"Oh, it's a pity, I was planning to invest all the money on hand."

Hearing the other party say the answer he wanted, Pete showed his true colors, lowered his voice, and looked sneaky: "Sir, I have a good idea!"

"How about you lend me 50 gold coins temporarily, and I can just get 100 gold to invest in the club. When the returns are distributed in the future, I am willing to give you 50% of the money I earn. After all, it is the result of our joint investment. What do you think!"

Sly Shadow·Stone was stunned.

Pet noticed that Gale was passing by quietly, and decisively continued to speak to attract Sly Shadow·Stone's attention:

"This is a club invested and established by Mr. Rune Monger himself! What are you worried about? Aren't you planning to invest all your money in it? "
