    The adventure team composed of good forces coordinated by the Harper Alliance is very troubled.  This was certainly not because of the commission from the so-called spice merchant Moore. They had always regarded this as a joke.  The Sanlin Towers behind Moore were mortal enemies with the Harper. The only reason they could restrain themselves from striking him when they met was because of the Harper's always low-key style.

    The reason for their distress is because of Chen Ang!  The target of this mission seems to have disappeared. It has been a long time, and they can no longer get any information about the target.

    It¡¯s like he disappeared from this world!

    The slums are changing day by day. The lingering smell of blood on the long list listed by the Harper is by no means ineffective. Skinners, butchers, blood eyes, these humble and troublesome people  Characters that even the Harper would find tricky.  It's not because of any big figures, but the intricate forces behind them.

    ?? These people who serve as brokers, stewards, low-level priests, and act as the middle class for the big guys in Waterdeep to control the bottom, may not necessarily have very strong strength and influence, but they are enough trouble because they are part of the order of this city!

    The captain of the adventure team, the half-elf Elwin, looked at the eleven-inch-long list in his hand, his face indescribably ugly. Behind the densely packed names on it were the corpses of remnants like Skinners and Butchers.

    The bartender Lime nonchalantly wiped the earthenware cup in his hand, but his eyes never left the door of the tavern. His thick knuckles moved on the earthenware cup inch by inch, and the tight muscles under the linen clothes relaxed, leaving no doubt.  , these hands can break the neck of a twelve-foot-tall ogre in the next moment.

    "There's no need for the Harper to spend so much time on him!" Rhyme knew the results of his work very well. "Everyone in the city knows that he won't survive Midsummer Eve. No one can do it after offending so many people.  , can still get out of this city alive!"

    Although he said it easily, Elwin's expression never relaxed for a moment. Instead, he stared at the table thoughtfully, "The Harper's principle: you can not participate, but you can't understand! We have to confirm his position before we can  Well decide our attitude. The Harpers have their own principles!"

    "Yes, if it is not a crime, there should be no trial! I can already recite it with my eyes closed."

    "If it is not a crime, there is no trial. The actions of the Harpers are not driven by interests, but by our positions and principles, so the attitude and position of the target are crucial to us, because that determines our position and behavior.  Elwin looked very serious, "You have provided too little information about Bloody Hand. He has no origin, no identity, no profession and camp. He is like a ghost who appeared out of thin air. No one has a past!"  "

    "But he countered the prophecy spell!" Lem complained: "I have tried both divine spells and spells! Spell casters have not been able to get rid of those damn illusions so far. The mages of the prophecy school have refused to try any more spell casting. They  The only thing that is certain is that the other party is as if he has returned home in the etheric plane, 'like a fish in water'!"

    "Phantom?" Elwin asked confused.

    "Yes, anyone who tries to pry into his destiny will be troubled by the etheric plane. Their vision will be fixed in a shallow form of the etheric plane, and they will be deprived of the ability to perceive the material plane. Over time,  Their intelligence will be severely damaged! One mage even fell in love with the alien creature he summoned - an ooze monster named Saya!"

    "The Eye of the Ancients! Ooze monster?" Elwin showed an unacceptable expression.

    Lime nodded with guilt: "It is said that his etheric vision is very close to the senses of the ooze monster. As a result, he learned to communicate with the ooze monster and gained his own love. You know, in the ooze monster, that is  What a beauty!¡±

    "His mentor" Elwin was interrupted by Lem before he could finish his words.

    "This is not a bad thing for his mentor! A curse with research value is much more important than an apprentice, not to mention that he has not lost the apprentice. There are too many weirdos among mages, so what if there are a few more?  "

    "You can ask the priest to 'remove the curse'!" Elwin didn't want to talk more about the ooze monster, it would only make her spine tingle.

    Lime shook his head regretfully, "It's useless! Strictly speaking, this is not a curse. Their vision is not an illusion created by negative energy, but the reality of another level in the world. This reality is hard to shake.  It¡¯s more like the soul is contaminated with the essence of the etheric plane. It¡¯s essentially similar to the price of a prophecy spell and cannot be removed by divine magic.¡±

      "And I heard that ooze monsters are great!" Lem showed a frank smile, "He seems to like it quite a lot!"

    Duo!  There was a soft sound. Lime turned his head and looked at the arrow that was buried in the solid wood next to his scalp. He wisely closed his mouth. He spread his hands towards the ranger girl opposite him to signal him to shut up.

    "Jacsie? Lem doesn't mean any harm!" Elwin gave a few helpless lessons.

    The knight-errant girl didn¡¯t appreciate it. She stepped forward and pulled out the arrow from the wood. It looked like it took a lot of effort. Not just anyone can break armor with a light bow!  "Without prophecy, what do we know? What we know now, we don't need to sneak in and spy, we can hear more details in the roadside tavern!"

    "We need to be more specific about his camp, his tendencies, his profession, and his beliefs. This is what determines our attitude towards him. I think this is much more important than how many people he killed!"

    "I told you, I don't know anything!" Lem gestured with his hands.

    "He may be a mage who is proficient in the prophecy school, or he may be a priest who is favored by the gods, or he may also work part-time as a warrior! A profession such as a rogue! Judging from his bloodthirsty, he may be a believer of the Dark Sun.  Of course it could be Max's, but with the villains he has eradicated, it's okay to say he is a paladin of Ilmater."

    "Human nature is so complex. Paladins may commit murder, and rogues may not be unable to make great sacrifices. Unless you perform a 'Detect Evil' on him opposite him, these cannot be used as a basis for judgment. I only  It's fair to say that this gentleman cared about the things in his little house far beyond his interest in abuse, domination and power."

    "So" Jessica opened her mouth to speak.

    "Don't define it so quickly!" Lem interrupted him: "Please respect this complex world and don't use your young people's simple and direct judgment to define it. My intuition tells me that you are facing a  The existence is difficult to pin down and explore, and I can tell you from my experience as an old man that it doesn¡¯t hurt to take a closer look.¡±

    "But we don't have time! We can't keep everyone entangled for so long." Jessica frowned and said: "The slums are very repulsive to outsiders. The Blood Hand Gang has deep-rooted control there, and it is difficult for us to get close to it."

    "That's because more than 80% of the young people there are looking for work in the Blood Hand Gang. Their fathers, children and wives are like the most loyal spies. It is a closed environment, and it is difficult for outsiders to survive there."  Mu replied.

    "So, can we do nothing?" Jessica objected: "Intelligence will not jump into our hands by itself, right?"

    "Not necessarily, kid!" Lem smiled slyly. His fingers moved on the table and finally stopped on a pile of brown papyrus. He went to hand these inconspicuous things to Elwin and said: "  If you are careful, you will find this thing!"

    "The income from tobacco and the trends of the Thieves' Guild?" Elwin whispered the difficult code words line by line. "This is the information from the dock. It's all daily information about that special kind of tobacco and the Thieves' Guild."

    "It's not everyday. There are big secrets hidden in these little things!" Lem said with a proud smile: "Although we are missing the most important part of the key data on tobacco prices and shipments, based on this,  It is really not difficult at all to calculate the approximate income of that kind of tobacco. Similarly, the mission data of the Thieves Guild can also reflect their internal trends."

    Elwin looked at the stack of papyrus with a gloomy face. Even she couldn't help but feel frightened when she saw the string of numbers representing the profits. She didn't need to look at what was behind to know that the situation had reached a critical moment.  .

    No mouse can resist the big piece of fat in front of him. Those greedy eyes can no longer hold back. As Lem said, there are already people who can't wait to be the test pieces.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
