Chapter 77 Commission
Palestine stood up and welcomed Nohir. However, Nohir felt that his words were more of a joke. After all, the heroes of Baldur's Gate were too exaggerated. Well, although Nohill has made some achievements, he has not yet received this title.
"This is a bit exaggerated, my lord."
The hero of Baldur's Gate? Maybe one day I will be able to bear this title, but right now... I don't have the ability yet.
But Palestine just laughed and said to Nohir who came over.
"Haha, I think you can afford it."
Unexpectedly, Palestine sounded very serious when he said this. After saying this, he straightened his expression and faced Nohir. explained.
“Baldur’s Gate, this city began to become extremely dangerous half a year ago. The cultists who believe in the God of Murder have become more and more rampant since then, and they have committed crimes without scruples. There have been countless cases, and it has become extremely slippery. Our pursuit has been very difficult, and we have not even found their fixed stronghold until now."
Palestinian sighed heavily when he said this.
“Although Baldur’s Gate has never been considered safe, serial murders that lasted for such a long time, had so many victims, and had such a negative impact have not appeared in Baldur’s Gate for a long time. ”
"In my memory, the last time a murder of this level occurred was 12 years ago..."
Palestine was suddenly silent, but Nohir knew why. 12 years ago, Bo A major event occurred in Dezhimen that shocked the world.
The Resurrection of the God of Murder.
Twelve years ago, the 136-year-old Grand Duke of Chanem was assassinated at a social party. The god of murder was resurrected directly after the death of Chanem in the other remaining son of Baal. Baal was short-lived. The god's appearance directly caused the city to fall into a sea of blood. That incident can be said to be the most serious casualty accident in the history of Baldur's Gate. The number of people who died on that day alone exceeded the number of people who died in this city in the past 30 years. The total number of accidental casualties.
The only good thing about that major event was that Baal did not stay in the main material plane for too long. He quickly returned to his realm in the Pantheon after his resurrection. However, even though Baal had After leaving the main material plane, his influence is far from over.
Since that day, the murders in Baldur's Gate have not stopped. During the most rampant moments, people were murdered almost every day. With the help of adventurers, they finally defeated the Order of the God of Murder again.
It took people several years to drive those gutter rats out of the city again, and they also won nearly ten years of peace because of this brave struggle. It can be said that this peace It didn't come easily.
But now...
"...In short, this high frequency of murders has formed a momentum, and this momentum is not a good thing. The whole city is panicked. We even thought that the God of Murder had visited Baldur's Gate in the dark and was preparing to start a new round of massacre here."
"Fortunately, we already know that the situation is not that bad. This is all thanks to you. The shapeshifter you captured has revealed quite important information.”
Palestine walked out from behind the desk, and at this time the door behind Nohir was also tightly closed by the two soldiers.
Palestine set its sights on Ska next to Nohir, and Nohir explained to him with interest.
"Skar Chitrugu, a high-ranking paladin, he is my companion, you can trust him."
A paladin? "With a high-level paladin companion, it seems that I have seen the right person, so I can speak frankly."
Palestine turned around and came to the desk, picked up the solid cloth bag and threw it directly towards Nohir.
"After our people woke up the shapeshifter, the monster told him everything he knew. I guess the reason why he was so cooperative was because of the psychological trauma you caused him. It’s a bit serious.”
Nohir directly caught the bag with both hands. The solid weight and the sound of metal hitting made him instantly understand what was inside.
Palestine continued.
“The Flame Fist Legion has not failed to arrest some assassins in the past six months, but those guys are all unknowns. Their murders have no fixed target at all, just to prove their loyalty to Baal. , which is why we previously speculated that the God of Murder came to earth.”
"But that shapeshifter is not one of those cannon fodder assassins who know nothing. This race occupies a very important position in the Order of the God of Murder, so they know much more than those cannon fodder. According to that According to the shapeshifters, their murders that lasted for half a year were all premeditated."
Palestine explained to Nohir and the others in detail.
“According to the information we got from the shapeshifter, the reason why the Order of the God of Murder launched such an unexpected plan is because they changed the top leader of the Order six years ago. All this was ordered by the leader. According to the shapeshifter, that person may be directly conveying Baal's oracle."
"A white dragon descendant whose real name is unknown, but is only known by evil thoughts. Replaced their previous leader and launched this plan half a year ago after dormant for several years. It not only secretly promotes the teachings of Baal through the shapeshifters, attracts new believers and encourages these new believers to murder Baldur without rules. Anyone who can be murdered"
"The purpose of this is also very clear. They are to make the general public lose their trust in Flame Fist. This is what the dragonborn named Xie Nian told them personally. Said.”
At this point, Palestine frowned, because he couldn't figure out what benefit this would have to them. This kind of behavior was bound to attract violent retaliation from Flame Fist, and the downlines they had worked so hard to develop were wiped out batch after batch. Arrested and then executed, their power barely increased, and they only plunged Baldur's Gate into panic and riots.
“I don’t understand why they did this. It is not in their interests. The constant loss of a large number of grassroots believers is too deadly for the God of Murder who has just been resurrected. It is unlikely to be the murderer. God’s means, so I think there must be other black hands behind this, otherwise this suicide attack cannot be explained.”
“For this reason, I want to issue a commission to you”
<. br> "There are 1,000 gold coins in that bag, which is your reward for capturing the living shapeshifter this time. If you are willing to accept my commission this time, I will prepare another high bounty for you, and Or you can choose a piece of magic equipment in the treasure house of Feilong Fortress."
"You can also refuse this commission, but in that case, I have to take back the token, after all, the order. Cards are equivalent to universal passes in Baldur's Gate. I can't hand them over at will. I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Palestine turned and sat back behind the desk, looked at Nohir and Ska, and then asked slowly.
“So, I wonder what you two think?”
