Robert paid no attention to Shantil's threat. From the begging for mercy and screams that came from the house just now, he quickly deduced that this woman did not have a good status in Henry's heart. In the psychology of the leader of the thieves, she is not even as threatening as Debra. The former is just a warlock who can't even control his own emotions, and although his spell-casting ability is very powerful, he can see through his behavior at a glance. The latter is not only thoughtful, but also ruthless. Look at poor Anthony, even the soul is tormented to madness.

Henry looked at the two unscrupulous subordinates in front of him, smiled and shook his head. He doesn't care if these people have any personal grudges in private, as long as they don't drop the chain at a critical time. "Robert, you first list the more influential merchants and nobles in the entire Baldur's Gate area, and I need to select a few obedient collaborators from among them."

The leader of the thieves bowed slightly, then took out a piece of parchment from his leather armor and handed it over, explaining, "This is the result of my investigation in the past few days. Now your traditional partner, the Seven Suns Business Alliance, has been controlled by the shapeshifters. They haven't made any moves yet, but I'd recommend taking them out as soon as possible. ”

Henry took the parchment and immediately asked, "What about Jarsyl?" Is he still alive now? ”

Robert smiled and shook his head. "The shapeshifters killed the Chamber of Commerce leader on the first day of infiltration. In order to prevent leaks, even his family and children did not let go. The only one who has the right to inherit is a girl under the age of fourteen, but she is mildly mentally handicapped and has now been taken to a safe place by me to protect her. ”

Henry thought about it for a moment and felt that it shouldn't be too difficult for a mildly mentally retarded girl to control. He smiled and patted Robert on the shoulder. "Well done. Protect this girl so that we can rightfully devour the Seven Suns Business Alliance. If the negotiations go well tonight. Let's kill all these shapeshifters. Anyway, it's useless to keep these guys. It might as well give the Iron Throne a warning. ”

"Don't worry. I've contacted Mr. Alatus from the local thieves' union. He has sent a large number of men to fully monitor the infiltrated chambers of commerce. These shapeshifters thought that no one could find out, but in fact, their every move was watched by countless pairs of eyes. However, cleaning up the transformation monsters of the Seven Suns Business Alliance alone will not alert the people of the Iron Throne, which may not be conducive to our next move. Robert was somewhat unaware of his master's intentions.

Henry smiled and waved his hand. "No, it won't. Destroying the shapeshifters of the Seven Suns Business Alliance alone is precisely to show my attitude and position. Because they violated my interests, they were violently retaliated against. At the same time, this also indirectly shows that as long as it has nothing to do with my interests, no matter how much they toss, they will not interfere. ”

Robert nodded in realization. "I see. You're here to give a signal to the people of the Iron Throne. Let them feel free to deal with the other three dukes and their supporters. ”

"That's right. Not only should they be relieved to do it boldly, but also they should be behind it. Only by cleaning away the original power can we truly occupy this land. Henry sneered and sentenced the nobles and merchants of the Baldur's Gate region to death.

The leader of the thieves bowed, then smiled sinisterly. "I already know what to do. The Dark Elf Assassin squad led by Antleb is up to the task. In just half a month, they were able to kill half of the nobles and merchants in the entire region. And these guys are also good at falsifying evidence, and it won't be long before everyone knows that the Iron Throne is buying murder everywhere. ”

"Now that you understand, go ahead and set it up. Bring the Terminator with you, and he can help you deal with a lot of unexpected situations. As for Shantil, I'll train her for a while. With that, Henry waved his hand and motioned for Robert to go and get busy.

The leader of the thieves glanced at the honest Shantil and shook his head with a smile. Leave the room directly and take the Terminator to find his subordinates to assign tasks.

Henry sat in his chair and examined the intel on parchment. It lists hundreds of nobles and merchants in the Baldur's Gate area, many of whom are supporters of other dukes. It can be crossed out directly, and the rest need to be carefully selected, and three or five families that are not too strong, but have a certain amount of influence can be selected to support them.

After all, he didn't have much time to waste on management, so in order to quickly restore stability after Shaloferk's death, it became a very good choice to give up a little profit to envelop a few small nobles and small businessmen. He quickly found several targets in the middle of the blockbuster's name. One of them was a somewhat down-and-out baron, and the other three were some slightly more powerful merchants.

Henry rolled up the parchment and handed it to Shantil, who had already occupied it for a long time. "Give this to Robert. Also, let him find time to get in touch with the people on the list, and I need to know their attitudes. ”

Shantil respectfully took the list with both hands and quickly left the room. Henry looked at her back and gave a weird smile. The proud sorceress had been trained to be much more submissive now. Although she was still a little resistant, it was not as strong as the last time.

With everything done, Henry continued to pull out the energy in the emerald study. Time passed unconsciously, and by the time I came back to my senses, it was already dark. Shantil had already finished her task, standing motionless in front of the table. Just as he was about to say something, a servant ran in and shouted out breathlessly, "Count! The Duke of Silver Shield and his Lady have arrived. ”

Hearing this, Henry's eyes lit up, and he thought that it was finally about to begin. He hurriedly packed the jewels and let the servants lead the way. The sorceress covered her face with her hood and silently followed behind the most shaky. After this lesson, she has already touched a little of her master's temper, so she is now very obedient.

Coming to the hall on the first floor, Henry Mar walked over with a smile on his face to say hello. "The Duke welcomes you. And, of course, your beautiful Lady Brila. ”

"Haluha, dear earl, I didn't expect you to make a long trip. Tell me, something important has happened, and if I can help, I won't shirk it. "Anta. Silver Shield smiled and hugged him, bringing the conversation straight to the point.

Henry sighed in disguise and pulled out Ed. The brooch of the silver shield was given to the duke. "This is what I found on a corpse. At the time of discovery, the owner had been dead for many days, and had passed the last time limit for resurrection. ”

"O God! This is Ed's brooch! Tell me it's not true! You must be reading it wrong, right? Lady Brilla shuddered and asked. She was now very agitated, and she held Henry's hand tightly.

The Duke took a deep breath and pulled his lady away. "Brila, calm down. I think the Count must have a lot to tell us, or he wouldn't have sent an invitation. ”

Henry nodded with a serious expression. "That's right, Madame, you can rest here now, I need to talk to the Duke alone."

Anta. Silver Shield calmed his wife and followed Henry all the way to the dimly lit basement. As soon as he opened the door, a corpse stench came from inside. Henry didn't explain much, just performed a "light spell" and lifted the coffin containing the corpse.

The Duke recognized Ed lying inside at a glance. He could no longer hold back his grief, and rushed over to the corpse and began to cry. Henry stood aside and waited quietly, for now was not the best time to fan the flames. Anta. Silver Shield quickly stopped his tears and began to examine his son's wounds carefully, looking at his somewhat tattered body, his anger began to rise rapidly.

"Count, don't talk nonsense. Tell me directly who killed Ed, and this guy and his family will definitely suffer the harshest revenge from the Silver Shield family. ”

Henry took out the letters he had received during his adventure, modified them slightly, and handed them over one by one. In the end, he directly woke up Davann and asked the duke, who was about to lose his mind, to ask questions. When the questioning was over, Anta. Silver Shield punched the basement wall, venting the anger in his heart. In his eyes, the Iron Throne, the Flame Fist mercenaries, and the other three dukes had all become enemies.

Looking at the red-eyed duke, Henry felt that it was almost there. If it is stimulated, it may have the opposite effect. He walked over and asked softly, "Duke, the enemy believes that you also know the truth." Now I just want to ask if I want to join forces to catch these guys. ”

"Of course! I can't wait to catch them all now, cramp and skin! But it included three dukes, as well as a dozen large chambers of commerce. I have to think about the future of the Silver Shield family, and I can't bury the family's efforts for so many years because of my own selfishness. "Anta. Silver Shield forcibly suppressed the thought of avenging his son and replied.

When Henry saw the door, he immediately added a fire. "Have you heard of Arlando's prophecy?"

"A prophecy about the heirs of the God of Killing? Of course I've heard of it. Why do you suddenly say this? Could it be that there is some other conspiracy here? The Duke was immediately alarmed. For there is no small thing in anything that has anything to do with God.

Henry walked over and whispered in his ear about the origins of Shalovok and Apodell. Anta. Silver Shield's mouth widened in surprise when he heard the news, and he instantly realized that the entire Baldur's Gate region was about to face a great purge. If done correctly, not only can they avenge their son, but the Silver Shield family can go one step further, and when the time comes, they can not only completely get rid of the control of the council, but also become a real duke on the ground.

After thinking about it for a while, the Duke stared into Henry's eyes and asked, "Why are you telling me this?" Say, what do you want to gain from this turmoil? (To be continued......)
