As the former head of the union in the Baldur's Gate area, Alatus has insight and management experience that ordinary thieves can hardly match, and it is because of this that he can still retain most of his rights after the annexation of the territory, and he can also put about 5% of the profits of the entire region into his own pocket every year, which can be described as extremely beautiful.

However, only Robert knows that although the middle-aged man with a mustache in front of him is mercenary and a little cunning, he is actually not bad-hearted. Especially when it comes to women, the elderly, and children, they almost never do anything wrong, and most of the time they just intimidate.

There is no doubt that the cruelty of the young torturer who peeled off the skin on the woman's face touched his bottom line, which is why he expressed Xiàn so fiercely.

"Take a bottle of regeneration potion to that woman, I want her to appear in front of me intact, understand?" Robert did not choose to continue to press Alates who had lost his temper, but raised his head to give instructions to his subordinates.

He knew very well how these psychopathic young people were cultivated, that is, through the combination of psychological suggestion and magic, so that each trainee recognized in his heart that the tortured person deserved it, and regarded it as an art in his mind, so that when he used torture to extract confessions, not only did he not only produce any sense of guilt, but he was extremely excited, and he could get supreme pleasure from it.

"Yes, I make sure the harpists bring it intact." The young torturer bowed slightly. Quickly turn away.

Wait until his shadow completely disappears around the corner of the hallway. Alates sighed softly and warned, "You have created a group of dangerous monsters. Those who tortured were not human beings at all, their actions and attitudes were the same as those of monsters in the forest, and the consequences would be unimaginable if they lost control. ”

The corners of Robert's mouth turned up slightly, and he shook his head with a smile: "No, my teacher." It's that you're getting old and can't adapt to the growing power of the guild. Don't worry, the torturers are far more loyal to the guild than the average member, and they may even choose to die with their enemies if necessary. ”

"Maybe......" Alates smiled wryly. I'm going back to the surface. The screams and wails here were unbearable. With that, he stood up and left the eerie secret prison without looking back.

Looking at the slightly gloomy back, Robert narrowed his eyes and muttered: "It seems that he is really old, or it is time to change the person in charge of the Baldur's Gate area, otherwise sooner or later he will be exploited by the opponent one day......"

When several of the surrounding thieves leaders heard this, they instantly became overjoyed, and one by one they began to secretly think in their hearts about how to squeeze out other competitors and let themselves sit in this important position.

The young man in charge of torture moves very quickly. It was only a dozen minutes later that he arrived in the hall with nine pale faces. Among them, the female half-elf still has a few pieces of skin on her face that are slightly red, which must have just grown. And the expression revealed fear and despair, and it seemed that the spirit was not far from collapse.

"You may be seated." Robert gestured to the chair across from him. "Since you are all members of the Harpist League, I will try to make a long story short in order to clear up any misunderstanding between us as much as possible."

"Hah! Your men raided our stronghold in broad daylight, followed by arresting and torturing everyone, and finally told us that it was a misunderstanding? Bah! A stinky and hard-tempered dwarf spat hard, he didn't care about his identity as a prisoner at the moment, a standard tough guy image.

Robert didn't care about the other party's bad attitude, but spread his hands with a smile: "Okay, it seems that the misunderstanding between us is indeed a bit deep, and the methods of interrogation are a little rough." But believe me, it's not against the Harpists League, you're just accidentally implicated. ”

"What do you mean?" Another human male asked with a frown when he heard what was being said.

"It's literal. We are looking for an organization that is attempting to carry out covert operations at Baldur's Gate. However, because the other party is hiding too well, it can only be investigated in this way. "Saying that, Robert threw some of the information about the Netherworld to the other party. Take a look, and you'll understand what we're struggling with when you're done reading it. ”

The harpists carefully flipped through the parchment and read the content word by word, and the more they looked at it, the more frightened they became, especially when the name of the Shadow City appeared in the last few lines, their faces suddenly changed, and even the dwarves who had been scolding consciously closed their mouths.

After taking in everyone's expressions, Robert spoke again: "Well, can we sit down and talk calmly now?" ”

"How do we know if this information is true?" The most suspicious dwarf asked rhetorically, his eyes rounded.

As one of the most stubborn races on the main plane, dwarves basically don't change their minds once they decide that a guy can't be trusted, and even if you say something justified, they can find loopholes in it, so it's quite difficult to get these guys to turn enemies into friends.

"You can ask the Alliance of Lords for confirmation on this. It was they who sent the first piece of information, and we learned that the City of Shadows had infiltrated the Baldur's Gate area. I don't need your trust, as long as you cease your activities during this time until the most dangerous guys are dug up. ”

Robert didn't care at all about the attitude of the Harpists' League, nor was he afraid of retaliation. After all, now the entire kingdom of West Hartland is under Henry's rule, if these people don't know how to lift, then he can use official power to expel them at any time, as for the black hand, forget it, because the relationship between the two sides has not yet reached that point.

It is clear that the Harpists have a close relationship with the League of Lords, especially since Kelburn is both one of the leaders of the League of Harpers and a member of the League of Lords. So it's easy to get some useful messages from each other.

Most of the harpists present believed that the man in front of him was not lying. He and others were indeed innocently implicated. So immediately let the tense nerves relax.

The half-elf woman who had been skinned a few pieces of skin gently stroked the tender skin that had just grown, and asked through gritted teeth: "So you are serving the Kingdom of West Hartland?" Abducting innocent people on suspicion and torturing them to extract confessions? ”

"Yes, we are serving the kingdom, all so that more people can stay away from the threat of evil. As for the harm done to you, I can only say sorry, because it is our responsibility to nip the danger in the bud. ”

Robert's words were so righteous that even the several black-hearted thief leaders standing around subconsciously straightened their chests. It seems that they are heroes who hide in the dark and silently protect the safety of the people, and their image is suddenly much taller.

But in reality?

But anyone who is involved with intelligence and spies does not have a good thing, don't look at the good blowing, what is the guardian in the dark, the protector of national security, the fight against saboteurs, etc., in fact, it is a group of murderous villains, you can't imagine how dark their psychology is, and even most of them suffer from Yan zhòng's mental illness, the reason is that they do too many bad things, and their conscience is tortured by Yan zhòng, and in the end they can only rely on some perverted behaviors to vent.

But Henry understands the importance of publicity. Therefore, take out the rhetoric on the earth and put it on the head of the guild, and at the same time strengthen the management. Eliminate those unrestrained criminals and keep the whole organization away from the general population, so that even if the intelligence organization is exposed, he can learn from a superpower, and directly explain that it is all for the sake of the security of the kingdom.

The harpists were obviously blindsided, and the upright dwarf put away his disgust and disdain, and sighed helplessly: "Hey...... Well, although your methods are a bit aggressive, the starting point is good. Forget it, it didn't cause any irreparable damage anyway, so we don't care about this misunderstanding. ”

"Thank you." Robert bowed politely.

He now became more and more aware of what his master often said, that is, no matter what he did, he had to find an excuse for righteousness, at least to convince most ordinary people that it was good for them, so that not only could there be less resistance, but also unexpected help.

"How long are you going to keep those people in the dungeon? Most of them are innocent! The half-elf asked a pointed question again. It can be seen that this facial peeling has done a lot of psychological damage to her, especially when she speaks, this sweet-looking woman always subconsciously covers her face with her hands.

"Two days at most, after confirming that there are no problems, they will be released." Robert didn't hide anything and gave the answer directly.

The half-elf stood up violently and roared loudly: "Demon! You're even going to torture them?! ”

Robert pretended to be helpless and nodded slightly: "For the safety of tens of thousands of citizens of Baldur's Gate...... Yes. But I can assure you that there will be no irreparable wounds and mutilations left among them. ”

Of course, he didn't say that these people would eventually be cleansed by magic, and it was hard to say whether there would be a series of side effects such as forgetfulness.

"Who the hell are you looking for? If we can say it, we can help. The human male grabbed his excited companion and said very cautiously.

"Yellowfinch, a spy codenamed Yellowfinch, was created by the Nethers Prince Revaran. Tanshur himself planted it here to carry out sabotage. If you can provide any information about him, her, or it, His Majesty the King is willing to offer the most generous reward, gold, gems, and magical items, whatever you choose. ”

With that, Robert beckoned to the mage who was waiting, who immediately understood that he would take out a magic scroll and prepare to teleport the harpists out. He didn't want these outsiders to know the location of this place, otherwise it would be a real problem in the future.

"Got it, how can we contact you if we get useful information?" The human man asked aloud the moment the scroll was activated.

"As long as I engrave a dagger in front of the door, I will visit it myself, and nothing in this city can hide from my eyes." The corners of Robert's mouth turned up slightly, and he replied meaningfully. His subtext is to sue the Harpist Alliance, be honest with me, this is Lao Tzu's territory.

The half-elf clearly understood the meaning, and glared at it viciously, and then disappeared completely with a blinding white light......
