Chapter 226 Early Plan
At this time, it was getting late in Baldur's Gate, and the last ray of light in Lathander was about to disappear into the distant horizon. A team of six people was approaching at the city gate. Entered Baldur's Gate before it closed completely.
Because night is approaching, the entire Baldur's Gate has changed from the hustle and bustle of the day to the silence of the night. Obviously, at this point in time, both tourists and locals in Baldur's Gate are It rarely appears here anymore.
When there is only this group of people at the originally noisy city gate, no matter how inconspicuous they are, they will involuntarily attract most of the attention, thus making the soldiers guarding the city gate wary, especially Most of the people in this team were still tightly wrapped in cloaks.
But when the soldiers were about to question them routinely, the only leader in the team who did not use a cloak to disguise himself calmly said hello to the flame fist guarding the city. Those soldiers briefly After being surprised, he immediately recalled something, and then he responded to his greetings very eagerly as if he had seen a big shot. The entire team was let go without even paying the entrance fee, let alone checking. .
Enver Gotash is the leader of this team. He is a middle-aged man wearing gorgeous clothes, dark complexion, unshaven beard and black curly hair. He carries a unique iron cage in his right hand. In his left hand, he held a small short staff inlaid with gems, showing off a pretentious aristocratic air, with very deep black eye shadow painted on his eye sockets.
This unique dress gave him an inexplicable aura, but compared to the aura, the fundamental reason that really made the soldiers let the team go was Gotash's noble status, as Bode The Viscount, who has been in the limelight recently, is famous enough for the soldiers guarding the city to remember his appearance.
Gortash led the team away from here, and after staying away from the soldiers, he silently said something to a tall figure on the right, although his companion's answer was not what he wanted to hear. , but he still showed a false smile, and after the entire team walked out of the corridor of the city wall, they immediately noticed the strange scene in front of them.
Gotash looked at the six newly hung corpses in the square opposite with interest, and then said in amazement.
“I didn’t expect that just a dozen days after leaving Baldur’s Gate, this city would give us such a big surprise. It seems that the news I received before is true, your dearest My former collaborator really fell into trouble because of a young guy who came from nowhere.”
"Look at the corpses hanging on these gallows. There are so many that I almost wonder if all the assassins in Baldur's Gate are dead. After Duke Vansampel was arrested, doesn't your cult have any secrets? Are their dens available? Tsk, tsk, their performance is not remarkable after losing the help of their allies."
"So they died here, Gotash, these are ridiculous. The gallows is the best destination for these inferior products. They have disappointed the Father. This is an unforgivable sin, but death prevents them from experiencing my bloody and sweet punishment. But you, Gotash, you seem to I really want to do it for them.”
“Wow, be careful what you say, my dear, before our beautiful plan is completed, I can only bring greater benefits if I live, you’d better endure it first. , after this period of time, you will have plenty of opportunities to vent your unbridled desire to kill, but now..."
"You don't need to remind me, Gotash, I am. I admit that your plan is indeed tempting. For the sake of the big plan, I can bear this hunger, but this does not mean that you can ridicule me wantonly."
"Those wastes can't get things done, so they do. Dead, but don't confuse me with this bunch of losers, if you have any doubts about my abilities..." "Trust me, honey, I never doubted your abilities, but look at those bodies, I recognize those. What does the leather armor mean? Those newly attached assassins are all middle-level members of your order, right? And those shapeshifters, they are quite valuable assets, but during the time we left Baldur's Gate, They died here for no reason.”
“This is a huge waste. Our plan requires manpower, but now almost all the useful people under your command are dead. I took the lead in establishing this alliance. I don’t want to end the alliance just because of The allies were forced to disband due to the imbalance in strength and power. I have to raise this reasonable concern."
"Then you can put that worry back in your stomach now. The evil thoughts have returned."
Xie Nian silently lowered his head and looked at Gotash. Under the dark cloak, a pair of scarlet eyes stared straight at him with rationality and hunger. As a pure-blooded son of Baal, he After awakening his bloodline, he has been driven by an instinctive desire to kill. He will feel as excited as a climax when killing people, but his strong will allows him to avoid this inexplicable hunger when performing certain key tasks. Impulsive influence, so as to complete what should be done perfectly.
At the same time, as a son of pure blood Baal, that is, Xie Nian, who is a descendant of God, his external form can become anything, but Xie Nian is particularly fond of a pure white man. The white dragonborn with scales and a crown of vertical horns appears.
"Haha, how can I doubt your ability? I just want to say that now is a great time. Just like what we discussed before, taking advantage of the current chaotic situation, we can already start to carry out that grand plan. Here At this time, we must try our best to avoid any unnecessary losses."
Xie Nian did not speak when he heard Gotash's response, but silently withdrew his gaze from Gotash.
The pair of eyes full of malice continued to look at the corpses of other murder believers hanging in the square, but in those bloodthirsty eyes, the rationality of evil thoughts still existed, and he couldn't help but recall that in the past six months The grand plan that the former Gotash had promised him when he found him.
For this plan, he and his assassins have been secretly clearing the way for Gotash's promotion in the past six months, in order to help him reach a higher position, and when they all have enough power After gaining strength, all it takes is an opportunity to officially launch this plan.
They also waited for this opportunity. Just a dozen days ago, the legendary Eltoril suddenly fell into hell. Also falling into hell was Baldur's Gate. Duke Ravengard.
