Chapter 107 Cunning Shadow Rubble


Chapter 107: Cunning Shadow·Gravel
Pate was suddenly startled!
Connected!

According to what Reina once introduced to him, Cunning Shadow Rubble is a common goblin broker in Green Harbor, commonly known as a "middleman" or "intermediary".

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

This saves the employer the trouble of finding people. The labor force found by the middleman is often reliable, and there is no need to worry about the task being messed up if the person found is not suitable;

For those who are employed, it saves them the energy of looking for work. At most, part of the reward will be taken away by the middleman.

Moreover, with the existence of a middleman, the identity of the employer can be kept confidential.

If Cunning Shadow Rubble was just an ordinary broker, even if he wanted to weave a sophisticated scam that could deceive people, he probably wouldn't have enough resources.

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

Peter and Gale didn't know how much money Bishop Skate had, but as the bishop of Greenport's Glow Divine Branch, he was definitely ranked high in Greenport in terms of wealth and status.

Witnessing Skeet and Shadow Rubble walking into a luxurious guest room in the manor, Peter and Gale hurriedly walked over, gently and slowly pushed the door of the guest room open a gap, and tried to Eavesdrop on what's going on inside.

Because it was eavesdropping, the sound was not very clear and I could only hear some vague fragments.

First there was a slightly sharp voice, and you knew it was the goblin speaking:

"Your Majesty Bishop, according to... your instructions, the Gilded Club... has worked very well."

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

Then, it was replaced by a thicker voice.

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

"That's right, don't worry,... I told you, if necessary... I will come forward."

"Next, you need to go and find Dursley and tell him...give him a warning."

"Tell him to be more restrained in his actions. The cannon fodder was almost discovered."

"The time... remains unchanged. When the time is right,... I will go to the agreed place."

Then came the voice of Goblin Cunning Shadow Rubble again:
“Understood!”

"I'll go right away."

Bishop Skate’s voice sounded again:

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

"Before you find Dursley, go..."

"Just say they are..., take people out of there, Dursley knows how to deal with it."

"..."

Hearing that the conversation in the room seemed to be over, Peter and Gale closed the door quietly and quickly. In order to prevent being discovered by the cunning shadow Rubble who was about to leave, they quickly hid in another unoccupied room next to them. , avoid it for now.

Although what I heard was not that clear, the amount of information in this conversation was already large enough!

The most important point is that there is indeed a shady affair between Bishop Skate and Dursley of the Bloodfang Gang!
Bishop Skate had obviously known about the scenes recorded by Miranda with the photo crystal in the lower city, in which members of the Bloodfang Gang showed symptoms of evil god contamination. What shocked Peter was that before this, he simply could not imagine that the Glow Divine Cult, which had always been on the same level as the evil god, and the high-status branch bishop, would actually collude with the Blood Fang Gang who was contaminated by the evil god!
In fact, from the analysis of the few words that can be heard in the second half of Bishop Skate's words, in order to suppress the evidence Miranda discovered, he seems to be willing to silence himself to solve the problem!

If Peter and Gale hadn't happened to come here and overheard this conversation, the innocent Miranda Warren might have been in trouble.

However, now that we have this important information, it means that Pet and the others have the initiative to reverse the situation!
Listening to the sound of the door being opened and closed in the corridor outside, followed by the sound of boots stepping on the ground, Peter tapped Gale and gestured to continue following.

Gale immediately understood, quietly opened the door, and once again followed the cunning shadow Rubble who was quickly leaving in the distance!
……

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

"Wine cellar, secret passage!"

Peter was stunned.

No wonder that when the manor was being built, Shadow Gravel specifically asked the Masons to prepare a hidden route in and out of the manor.

It turned out to be used in this situation.

If Cunning Shadow Rubble enters the wine cellar, their tracking will be very difficult.

Because the environment in the wine cellar is too quiet, the sound of footsteps will become very obvious.

When the target leaves the secret passage and then catches up, there is a possibility of losing him.

Peter thought for a moment and came up with an idea:
"I'll hold him back! You enter the secret passage first, and then ambush at the exit!"

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

This kind of large luxury manor will invite a fourth-level archmage to arrange a [Guard Engraving] magic circle that can last for one year. If it is detected that someone in the manor is using offensive combat skills, magic, or divine magic, there will be a conflict or When a murder occurs, the array will automatically issue a warning.

After agreeing on a plan, Pet organized some facial expression management to make his next performance look more realistic.

No longer hiding his figure, he deliberately made loud footsteps, quickly chased the cunning figure in front of him, Ruishi, and shouted enthusiastically: "Your Excellency Ruishi, Your Excellency!"

Cunning Shadow Ruishi stopped, looked back and saw Pet, and asked in confusion: "Sir, do you have anything to ask me about?"

Peter confirmed: "Sir, Mr. Gravel, I remember you said you planned to join the Gilded Club and invest 1,500 gold coins, right?"

Gravel was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded: "Ah, yes, yes, because I have 1,500 gold coins and I don't know what to do to make more money. I just have this opportunity!"

"It's a pity that Mr. Meng has imposed restrictions. You can only invest up to 1,000 gold."

"Oh, it's such a pity. I originally planned to invest all the money I had."

When he heard the other party say the answer he wanted, Pettu had a sudden idea and lowered his voice with a sneaky look: "Sir, I have a good idea!"

"Otherwise, if you lend me 50 gold coins temporarily, I will be able to gather just 100 gold coins 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?"

Cunning Shadow Ruishi was immediately stunned.

Peter noticed that Gale was passing by in a low-key manner, and he decisively continued to speak to attract the attention of Shadow Gravel: "This is a club established by Mr. Rune Monger himself! What else do you have? Don’t worry, aren’t you going to invest all your money?”
