Chapter 73 Duke Salamara Vansampel
Gelashes: "Okay, the last one, Duke Salamara Vansampel."
"She is the Duke with the shortest reign. To be precise, it was six years ago that Mrs. Vansample was successfully promoted to Duke."
"This Duke had been unknown before that. She was the matriarch of the Vansample family. She married three husbands in her life. Each husband left her a son, but each husband died soon and for unknown reasons."
"This family used to be very weak. Although it was a noble, it had no status in Baldur's Gate. The fact that this lady has reached this point can be said to have risen from humble beginnings, and she has stepped up to where she is today with her own efforts. ”
"She has been working quietly in this city for several years, and has been continuously promoted through political achievements. It was not until six years ago that the 54-year-old Mrs. Vansample was successfully promoted to Duke. It was not until this year that she was over 60 years old. ”
Sonos suddenly interrupted.
“But it is said that this person has a very venomous mouth and is famous for her harsh words. It is said that people who know her say that her mouth looks like it came out of the sewer.”
Sonos laughed twice more, and then continued.
“Haha, but there is some truth in this sentence, because the Duke made his fortune from sewers. I don’t know who said this sentence, but everyone who has heard it said it is good. .”
Make a fortune from sewers?
Geradus covered his head helplessly. His shield dwarf companion was good at everything. He was good at fighting and drinking, but his words were too rude, so he could only explain quickly.
“Well, what Sonos said was a bit rude, but what he said is actually right. The political achievement that promoted Mrs. Vansample was to repair and renovate the city’s ancient sewer system.”< br>
“This is undoubtedly a hard and tiring job, but this lady did a very good job. She even thought of hiring an entire tribe of kobolds to dig and unblock the sewers, and she also It really happened, those kobolds have even established a union called Pickaxe and Candle in Baldur's Gate, enjoying the legal rights of the regular union in Baldur's Gate."
"She later. She was appointed as the director of Baldur's Gate's drainage and underground engineering. It was also at that time that she had the connections and power to compete with the Duke."
Gerardus explained the Duke's fortune history in detail, but Nohir, who knew what was in the city's sewers, suddenly frowned.
The temple of the God of Murder is firmly entrenched in the sewers of Baldur's Gate, but the Duke's main business is actually the sewers.
And just by repairing sewers, can someone really be promoted to the position of Duke? What kind of complex exchange of interests, political trade, shirking of responsibilities and corruption and bribery can allow a low-status sewer family to be promoted to a duke?
Impossible, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible, but once you get in touch with the Baal assassin, all the impossibilities become possible.
Perhaps the young Mrs. Van Sample accidentally crashed a gathering of the Order of the God of Murder while working in the sewers. In order to survive, she had to succumb to the assassins. Maybe this can also explain her husband's behavior. Why do they always die? Maybe those assassins are reminding her in this way not to forget them.
Then in the days that followed, the lady's inner abilities were inspired by this life-and-death crisis. The fact that she is still sitting in the position of Duke is enough to prove that this lady is indeed capable.
Perhaps the Baal Order later took a fancy to this ability, so the relationship between them gradually changed from coercion to cooperation. Mrs. Vansampel provided funds for the activities of the Baal Order through the forces in the outside world. Providing them with hiding places through their business in the sewers, and even the headquarters of the Baal Order, the huge sacrificial site, may be Mrs. Van Sampur's good deeds.
After all, how could a group of assassins who only wanted to kill people build such a large palace? On the contrary, while completing their daily activities, the Baal Order can also help Mrs. Van Sample eliminate competitors. The cooperation between the two makes the God of Murder become more and more powerful, and also allows Van Sample to become more and more powerful. Mrs. Sample rose through the ranks.
However, if you want the possibility of this speculation to be infinitely close to the truth, there is another very important issue that cannot be ignored.
That is, is the current leader of the Baal Order Xie Nian, or Orin?
I'm afraid the answer to this question is already very clear. It can only be evil thoughts. Unlike Olin, a fool whose mind is only filled with blood, skinning, cutting, and killing, Evil Thought is the real one with a brain. Even though he admires killing in his heart, in order to make the killing bigger and more gorgeous, he is no longer satisfied with it. That kind of petty fight, he wants to massacre the whole world.
In order to achieve this goal, he needs patience, he needs allies, and he is willing to endure for his own purpose. For this reason alone, that idiot Olin will never be able to Did it.
She will only succumb to her own instincts. Killing is a drug and a climax to her. She can no longer extricate herself and cannot endure it even once!
“Trouble.”
If the current religious sect is really dominated by evil thoughts, then any actions of yours must be cautious. However, now that you have met Barr's religious sect in advance, you may be exposed to evil thoughts.
“This is really troublesome.”
Nohir held his forehead with his hand. Even the crown of the ruler on his head could not cover his worries and worries. Anxious, he couldn't imagine what it would be like to be targeted by such a top assassin. Can he sleep peacefully every night from now on?
The three people in front of Nohir saw his worry, and Ensor Danseron spoke immediately.
"What's the matter? My friend, what makes you so sad?"
Ensor's words instantly awakened Nohir. He put down the hand holding his forehead and looked at the people in front of him who were looking at him with worried expressions. Nohir forced himself to smooth his brows and spoke in a calm and relaxed voice. they said.
“No, it’s nothing. I just thought that my companion should be here. Originally, he and I had an appointment to meet somewhere, but now I have to drag him to fly with me. Long Yan, I’m just a little embarrassed when I think about it.”
Nohir didn’t tell the truth, because it’s better that they don’t know about this kind of thing. If they know, they will only get into trouble, and they can’t help if they know. On what busy, even pessimistic point of view.
The lives of all of them are now in the hands of evil thoughts.
The only difference lies in whether the evil thoughts want to make things worse after learning about this matter. The difference only lies in whether the evil thoughts succumb to the evil thoughts in their own minds.
Ensor: "Ha, friend, you can't hide that expression from me. Old Danseron is an old adventurer. You must know something, and it's very bad."
Nohill didn't speak. In this case, he could only acquiesce.
“But since you don’t want to say it, we won’t ask.”
Ensor jumped off the chair and walked outside the room. He opened the door and came to the counter. After a while of tinkering, a very ornate wooden box was taken out.
Ensor walked in holding the wooden box and closed the door.
"Look at the thank you gift I gave you. This is a good thing from old Danseron's previous adventures. It was originally planned to be buried with me in the grave after I die of old age. Now it belongs to you."
Nohir reached out to take the wooden box and opened it easily. What caught his eye was a pair of gorgeous black iron gloves with golden edges and majestic edges. They were wrapped in the leather of some unknown beast. It looks very comfortable, but what struck Nohill the most was the quality of the display on the panel.
