Chapter 61 Shangcheng District
There is actually no need to add the last sentence.
Nohir complained secretly in his heart, but after listening to this person's introduction, the organization Ansu Jingwei is an existence similar to the Adventurer's Guild, which seems quite interesting.
I'm a little interested in what you said. Maybe after this thing is over, I can be an adventurer wandering around and experience the scenery of this world.
“It’s an interesting suggestion, man. Maybe I will consider joining an adventurer guild in the future, but today I am a guest.”
Nohill used his right thumb to pop a gold coin directly towards Dick, and Dick caught it with quick hands and eyes.
When hearing Nohill's words, Dick felt a little pity. With his many years of experience, he could infer that the man in front of him was a very powerful warrior. If he could pull him into his group Here, the deputy leader will definitely be very happy.
However, it seems that he will not be able to complete the task given to him by the deputy captain today. Forget it, it would be nice to make some extra money.
He tossed the gold coin in his hand upwards, checked its weight, then grabbed it and put it in his pocket. After snapping his fingers, he spoke to Nohir in an exaggerated tone.
"It's so generous. Even the membership fee doesn't cost so much. I'm willing to make friends with you based on this generosity alone."
"My name is Dick, brother, what do you call me, and what do you want to know?"
Nohill said directly to Dick according to the words he had planned for a long time.
"Just call me Temariti. I just want to get some news. I haven't been back to this city for a long time. I really want to know if it is still as bad as before."
< br>Dick laughed directly and said to Nohir.
“Haha, I know what you are talking about, Brother Temariti, murder and crime are inevitable in the outer city. If you want to stay away from these bad things, you must at least move to the second city wall. Only in the back, otherwise even the lower city would not be considered safe, let alone the outer city.”
Nohill: "That's the problem. I have some business matters and I have to go to the upper city, but the lower city and the outer city are very uneasy recently. I don't want to finally get to Baldur's Gate, only to die on my way there." On the way to the city, brother, do you know what is going on? Is there any exclusive information that can keep me away from danger?"
What Nohir really wants to confirm is this group of cultists. Regarding the scope of activities, it can be said with certainty that the target of his operation is in the upper city area, so if this group of cultists focus all their energy on the lower city area and the outer city area, it will be much easier for him to move in the upper city area.
When Dick heard this, he first glanced at Nohill suspiciously. He didn’t look like a businessman in his dress. However, Dick then thought about it, never mind him, people have paid, then Don't inquire about other people's affairs, so as not to cause trouble for yourself, so he looked around and found no suspicious person, then waved to Nohir, deliberately lowered his tone, and spoke to Nohir cautiously.
"There is no exclusive news. Although these matters are relatively sensitive for Baldur's Gate, brother, you said that you have been in Baldur's Gate for a period of time before, so you must have heard of it. Those legends that happened in this city a few years ago."
Nohill: "I do know a little bit." It is said that more than 100 years ago, the gods were demoted to the divine world for some reason. The mortal body walked on this land. It was a turbulent era, and people were in panic all the time. Tragedies similar to those in Eltoril today were simply not worth mentioning in that era.
In that chaotic era, Baal, the God of Murder, had a premonition of his own death. In order to escape such a fate, he began to spread his bloodline widely across the land, creating countless sons of murder.
He hopes that his bloodline can succumb to his bloodthirsty nature, and purify the bloodline in his body through constant killing of each other, until one day in the future there will be only one son of murder left. At that time, the God of Murder will It will break out of the shell and be reborn in that child's body, and be resurrected again.
Many Sons of Slaughter have succumbed. Some of them have brought countless disasters to this land, and some have been slaughtered by other brothers and sisters before succumbing to their nature.
They started a murderous spree in this city. It is unknown how many people died in their fights with each other, but one of them was very different.
Although he was a son of murder, he spurned his own blood. This man bravely resisted his father, defeated his brother, ended the turmoil, and became a hero of the city. Even in the end, because of these bravery His actions were recommended by everyone and he became the grand duke of the city.
The man's name is Chanem.
After Dick knew that Nohill knew these rumors, he also spoke directly to Nohill.
“I can definitely tell you that those legends are true. Any old Bodur will be familiar with these things. But the only difference from the story is that the shadow of the murder god still exists. Hovering in Baldur's Gate, they have never been cleared."
Yes, although Nohir had only played Baldur's Gate 3 before crossing over, according to the information he consulted, Chanem. In the end, he died in a ridiculous assassination. The murderer was the only remaining Son of Slaughter. His death also resurrected the God of Murder, and darkness once again enveloped the world.
"The recent surge in murders in the city proves this point. Except for those flame fists guarding the city gate, the remaining flame fists are all running around the city. The gallows at the Stone Lizard Gate are fast. It can't be opened, but even so, the murderers have not restrained at all. They are a group of lunatics. Now people are being killed in the lower city of Baldur's Gate every day, and people are missing every day. Recently, this trend has even spread to the outside world. In the urban area, God knows what else these madmen can do."
"Everyone is panicking now. Although this city was not very good before, it has become particularly serious recently. It originally happened in the lower city and the city. Most of the crimes in the outer city are petty thefts, but now such a series of murders have scared the thieves so much that they dare not come out to work. They are afraid that when they commit crimes, they will be caught by Yanfang and set on fire, and they will be hanged directly on the stone. On the gallows of the Lizard Gate."
"Eighty percent of the entire Baldur's Gate cannot be called absolutely safe, except for the places where the nobles stay in the upper city. Brother, if you go there. You have to hurry up in the city. The bodyguards of the nobles will close the city gates in the upper city at night. "
The bodyguards Dick is talking about are the supervisory corps responsible for protecting the safety of the nobles in the upper city. , they are different from the Yan Fist, who have varying qualities. Each monitor is dressed in gorgeous silver-white armor and blue cloth. They have considerable force and resolutely perform their mission, which is to specifically protect To ensure the safety of those nobles, we are committed to driving away the people from Xiacheng District and Outer City District into Shangcheng District.
“It’s easy to enter the upper city. You only need to pay five gold coins to the watcher guarding the city gate. For us, this is not a small sum, especially since these properties are only Enough for you to stay there for one day.”
"If you are not Zonggui, and you are not Zonggui's attendant, and you have not even worn the token issued by the monitor, you will be dragged out by those lackeys before the city gate closes."
< br>"So brother, I can only give you one piece of advice. If you really want to go to the upper city, you'd better leave as soon as possible. And if you don't have a place to stay in the upper city, then you'd better go to the lower city in advance." Find a safe place to stay.”
