Chapter 416: The Guild's Recent Situation and Troubles
The sudden incident at the Sea Gift Tavern was handled very quickly, and it only took more than half an hour for it to reopen...... Reading the latest and most complete novels, of course, whether it is the boss, the bartender, the chef, or the waitress, all of them have been replaced by newcomers. In addition, three pirate ships docked at the berths were forcibly seized, most of the sailors became prisoners, and the union's dungeons were overcrowded for a while. As for those who dared to resist, the corpses had already been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
You must know that the dock area is the base camp of the shadow thieves, as long as you shout, a group of guild members with weapons can immediately rush out of the streets and alleys, regardless of the strength, the number alone can scare most people to death. No one dared to oppose them here, and even the patrols turned a blind eye, and it was not a problem to take down a few hundred and eighty pirates.
Looking at the crowd of deferential thieves, Henry finally knew why so many people liked to be the leaders of the criminal organization, and the thrill of controlling life and death and seizing power was really very intoxicating. Although the lord can get a similar feeling in a certain way, he must follow certain rules, such as to get rid of a person, he must first find evidence of his transgression or betrayal, otherwise he will wait for the betrayal to leave.
But the Thieves' Guild doesn't have to. Most of the time, the bosses rarely come up with evidence, and as long as there is suspicion, they will find a way to get rid of the person directly. Unless the strength in this person's hands is strong enough to make people have scruples, then they will start to talk about evidence, and to put it bluntly, whoever has the biggest fist is justified.
It is clear that in the eyes of most insiders, the underground forces in the city of Askatra. Henry's fist was second, if not the biggest. At least with the titular leader of the Shadow Thieves, Renault. Bloody heads sit on an equal footing. Some time ago, the legendary thief Arcarnes admitted it in front of many people. The territory of the next half of the city will be under his control.
It can be said that the reason why Anisha was able to recruit so many members in a few days was that most of them were interested in the future exhibition prospects. Of course, the sudden increase in the number of people has led to a sharp decline in the overall number of people, and according to statistics, the real professional thieves here may not even reach one-fifth, and most of them are pickpockets and thugs.
Don't think that thieves and warriors are the most numerous professions in the whole and that they are very well represented in the crowd, which is a very wrong idea. Even the easiest fighters to become have to go through at least two to three years of professional training. Not only should you be proficient in the use of almost any weapon, but you must also be proficient in using more than one offensive pace.
Henry nodded with satisfaction after reading the work report sent by Anisha. I have to say that although this woman is quite indecent in her private life, she is very good at managing the guild. It has only been a few days since the last purge, and the size and number of guilds have increased more than tenfold, and business has been carried out smoothly everywhere, and judging from the profit growth on the books, it will not take long to return to a normal state.
He did not hesitate to praise him: "Very good, much better than I expected." Your job is to keep the day-to-day operations right, and I'll leave the little mice inside alone and I'll have someone take care of cleaning them up. β
Anisha nodded nonchalantly. "Understood. Anyway, I know that my character is not good at being a real boss. By the way, what the hell are you going to do with the pirates in the dungeon? They've been clamoring to get out. It can be seen that she is satisfied with her current position and has no other ideas.
After a few minutes of consideration, Henry ordered, "Let these guys suffer a little first, and then torture them one by one, and try to mark their secret bases in the NΓ¦rancer Islands on the map." This matter is urgent, and it is best to get it done before dawn tomorrow. In addition, try not to cause any disability when the sentence is used, these people are still useful. β
"No problem, the guild happens to have quite a few torturers, and I promise that these pirates will confess before dawn, whatever they know. If there is nothing else, I will arrange it, you must know that the interrogation of more than 100 people is quite laborious. As she spoke, Anisha twisted her slender waist and walked towards the basement. Because her clothes are quite revealing, many male members subconsciously swallow their saliva.
"Humph! What a (cheap) little! I really don't know what point you fancy to let her achieve such a high position. Viconia snorted.
Henry smiled and asked, "Honey, can I understand that you are jealous?" β
"Jealousy? Don't make me laugh, a mere surface human, a thief less than level 10, what is worthy of my jealousy? Viconia raised her chin haughtily as she spoke, once again showing her queenly demeanor.
Henry shrugged his shoulders indifferently and replied, "Well, it seems that I have too much heart." But I still have to tell you, I don't have any interest in this kind of popular (lover) person. Let's go, it's time to leave. Taking advantage of the noonday sun's suppression of the undead, let's hurry to deal with the half-lich. β
"Great! After wasting half a day, I finally got to the point. I can't wait to split this fleshless head in half. Kogan shouted for joy, as if the half-lich were a lamb to be slaughtered. Perhaps in his barren knowledge, there was no concept of such a powerful undead creature at all.
"My good dwarf, while your fearlessness is admirable, you'd better be careful." Saying that, Henry explained the matters that need to be paid attention to in the battle with the half-lich from beginning to end. Eventually, he gave everyone the knick-knacks he had made for Cromwell, a metallic paint that contained positive measurements, and applied to the weapon to increase the weapon's enchantment level for a short period of time.
In order to maximize Cheng DΓΉ's combat power, he even handed over the powerful magic weapon "Sour Knife" to Fidel to use, after all, he already had the staff of the ** division, and the role of this weapon was not as great as before. In addition, each person was given a special scroll of the ninth-level magic "Freedom Technique".
Henry was tortured by Kangus's "Half-Lich Touch" in the game and almost went crazy, knowing that anyone who was touched was equivalent to being hit by the ninth-level magic "Confinement Technique" and would be directly sent to the closed half-plane and locked up. For the past in case. He had gone to great lengths to make a few of these magic scrolls that could be used by ordinary people. Just say the opening mantra. Even if you don't make the right cast animation, it can work.
Viconia got the scroll and said in a proud tone, "Don't worry, if anyone is locked up, I promise to use this to release you all." β
Although her attitude is not very good, everyone knows that she has this qualification. After all, the cloak given by the goddess of the night, Shar herself, has two of the most important attributes of immunity to "imprisonment" and "time stops". No one is stupid enough to look for a bad time like this, not even the dwarves who have always hated the dark elves.
After smearing their weapons, the group arrived at a dilapidated house between the guild and the Sea Gift Tavern. It looks very strange here, although the footprint is not small. But passers-by rarely notice it. Apparently, the house was blessed with some kind of concealment spell.
"Damn! How could there be so many undead here! Viconia cursed a little angrily. As a priest, she has an unusual sense of the undead, and even through a wall, she can know more or less what's going on inside.
Henry frowned and asked, "What is the specific number?" "He had been mentally prepared for a long time, after all, the golden skeleton was guarded by such a powerful lich, and as the main part of Congus, it would definitely not be too weak.
"Two powerful lichs, four or five or so skeleton warriors, and in addition, a few strange humans. They are obviously alive, but for some reason they exude the breath of the dead. These creatures are asleep for now, but they wake up as soon as someone approaches. Looks like you're going to have a lot of trouble dealing with this half-lich. After saying that, Viconia's face showed a solemn expression.
Henry also gasped when he heard the lineup of enemies in the house. He really didn't expect that the guards of the Sealed Land of Congus would be so tight. The two lichs were undoubtedly transformed by the mages of Nisriel, and they are both legendary spellcasters like the elemental lichs. It's easy to say that such a powerful enemy is dealt with one by one, but the two together are definitely not as simple as one equals two.
You must know that if these two lich are really legendary mages, then it will definitely be a big trouble for them to cooperate with each other, especially once the legendary spell is cast, I am afraid that the whole of Ascatra will become a dead city. An elemental lich once said that the "terrifying cold" is the crowning achievement of Nicelil's magic, so it's likely that every legendary mage of Nicel has mastered it.
The thought of having two lichs performing this legendary spell at the same time made Henry feel a big head. Normally, the casting time of a legendary spell is one minute, and counting the time it takes to break the magic protection and the time it takes to cast the spell himself, the time that can really be used to interrupt the enemy's concentration is definitely not more than fifteen seconds, and he has to face several skeleton warriors and the strange humans that Viconia said.
It can be said that in such a short period of time, it is already very difficult to deal with one, and it is impossible to deal with two, even if you add a "time stop" once a day. Now it seems that except for casting the legendary magic "Sunrise" on the street and making a pot before the other party reacts, Henry can't find a second solution to the problem for the time being.
However, if such a powerful spell is cast here, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Masked Mage Guild headquarters, and perhaps Lady Chara Nora will come in person, and it will be difficult to say what she wants to do with Congus at that time. After all, each organization has its own core interests, and although Henry is one of the most senior members, he will definitely be hostile to everyone if he wants to eat alone.
A half-lich is clearly enough to intrigue all mages, both in terms of knowledge and power. He was now faced with a difficult choice, whether to rush in and risk the entire city being frozen or to act safely with the higher-ups of the Masked Mage's guild.
