Broad World - Chapter 893
Chapter 890 Ambition and betrayal
Since reaching a cooperation intention with Akanis, Henry quickly revised the plan, and in the next two days, let the legendary thief stir up trouble in the city and assassinated at least in the name of Artemis Entreri. The ten leaders of the major guilds, and the killing methods were all slashed throats, only the people of the Black Sail Guild survived.
Of course, these are Henry’s conspiracies. Although Entreri’s return was first reported from the Black Sails Guild, and many people died, it can create some false impressions, making people suspect that all of this was made up by them. Self-acting conspiracy.
The disorderly killings put everyone in power in the underground world at risk. The originally chaotic situation further developed in the direction of guild wars. Except for the Black Sails Guild, no one knew that Akanis was the real killer, but they now doubt the shadows. Is the thief crazy, dare to be an enemy of all the big guilds in Port Carlin at the same time?
Out of the mentality to see if there is any cheaper to pick up, these guys did not tell the truth, but instead added to the flames and publicized the news of Artemis Entreri’s return. All of the guilds all strengthened their guard and launched an intelligence network for a while. , Looking for traces of this powerful killer in the streets and alleys.
But there was a guild that did not participate. Instead, it expanded its manpower. In just two days, at least 500 sturdy robbers passed through the vast desert and came to the Camel Guild in the north of the city. The leader Nurman was sitting in the basement of the Lair at the moment, discussing how to launch a fatal blow to the Black Sail Guild with the bandit leaders who had just arrived from the desert.
“Are you sure McGide was driven crazy by the pirates in the docks?” a man who appeared to be in his forties frowned and asked.
Nuerman nodded lightly: “Yes, McJid is upstairs, as long as someone asks what happened. He will desperately yell “It’s not Black Sail”. The whole person is like a lost soul. same.”
Despite being the boss of the Camel Guild. But he knew that he was nothing in the eyes of these powerful sand thief leaders, so he kept his attitude very low. As for whether he wanted to retaliate in the end, it would depend on the results of these people’s deliberations.
It has to be said that it is pitiful for a dignified guild leader to get into this kind of process. Who makes about half of the entire guild be robbers? Although the status of the boss has been steadily improved in the past two years, he is no longer just a puppet. Is the spokesperson. But it was far from enough to be on an equal footing with the leaders of Sand Pirates.
“Mom! Do these fishy **** want to go to war?!!!”
“Nonsense! The war is on now! We must retaliate! And we must retaliate severely!”
“That’s right! Anyway, we have assembled five hundred people now, plus the guild’s own manpower, there are almost one thousand, and the gangster who can hit the black sail is caught off guard!”
“What about other guilds? Those **** lycanthropes and burglars will see us fighting, and they will definitely be tempted to take advantage. The most taboo thing in Port Carlin is to act rashly!”
“Then let them fight first! Don’t we have some old accounts? Throw them all away, and send some good hands to provoke the trouble! In short, the whole city will be messed up in three days!”
“That’s right! At that time is the best time for us to do it! McGide’s hatred can’t be forgotten!”
“In that case, according to the old rules, we will vote by show of hands.”
“I agree!”
“I agree!”
“I object!”
“Seconded!”
……
Sand Pirate’s character is both fierce and decisive, only a few minutes later he made a decision to retaliate with absolute advantage. As for the leader of the guild, Nuerman was thrown aside by the bandit leader from the beginning, because the forces he represented did not send any reinforcements. So it was excluded from the meeting.
Seeing these guys discussing how to distribute the spoils after killing Black Sail, a mage wearing a dark blue robe lowered his voice and asked his leader: “Boss, I suggest you consider Hamid’s proposal. So far, all his prophecies have been fulfilled. If we are not standing in a team, I am afraid that we will not be eligible to enjoy the fruits of victory in the end.”
“Do you think they will lose?” Nuerman asked quietly without looking back.
A few days ago, he had a secret meeting with the contractor of the Eastern Grand Arena. Although the cunning businessman did not directly clarify the words, he kept hinting that Port Carlin would soon be a large-scale turmoil.
Obviously, judging from the current situation, there is really nothing wrong. Perhaps the most terrifying guild war in history will break out in three days. No one will be able to escape by then. All must stand in line. Anyone who wants to remain neutral. , Will definitely be crushed the first time.
As a wise man, Nuerman knew very well that since Hamid was able to provide himself with some cryptic news, he naturally knew who provoked all this, but he was not quite sure who would win the final victory, so some Hesitate.
Seeing that the leader’s face was uncertain, the mage lowered his voice again and reminded: “Think about it, a person who can play with the entire underground world of Port Karin in his hands is better than a group of brains pretending to beat. The idiot who kills is a hundred times stronger, right?”
“Well… what you said makes sense. Contact Hamid. I need to know who is working with him. If possible, I’d better meet again. Some things are better to be discussed in person.”
After much consideration, Nuerman finally made up his mind. On the one hand, he was completely disappointed with Sand Pirate’s IQ. On the other hand, he was very dissatisfied with the current situation of the guild. More importantly, he did not get the right he dreamed of.
“Don’t worry, boss, I will do this thing beautifully and will never let anyone know about it. Please believe me, this will be the most correct choice you have made in your life.” The corners of the mouth under the cap were slightly upturned, and he glanced at the sand thief who was still in the meeting with disdain, turned and disappeared into the dim passage in the basement.
An hour later, Henry, who was far away at the headquarters of the Phantom Guild, got a note from a stranger, which read: “The big fish has been hooked, and we can proceed to the next step.”
His eyes lit up slightly after reading it. Then he laughed: “Hahahahaha! That’s great news. It seems that the plan goes much smoother than expected. Maybe it will take another half a month to integrate the entire guild of Port Carlin.”
“What do you mean? Besides me, do you have other partners?” Akanis asked warily, who was eating lunch.
There is no doubt that he is very sensitive in this regard, especially after understanding the power of the Magic Talisman, the whole person has become cautious, usually even eating and drinking water to do a toxicity test, for fear of not knowing it. died.
Seeing the nervous look of the legendary thief, Henry smiled and shook his head and explained: “Of course there is a partner. Otherwise, how do you think I can gain a foothold in such a short period of time? Remember my friends, whether the whole world is a **** , Demons, demons, celestial creatures, even those ancient evil creatures full of hatred and gods have the same desires, as long as you can give these guys what they want, then you can form an alliance with them.”
Akanis swallowed the vegetables in his mouth and nodded thoughtfully: “That said, you can give this partner something that others cannot give, so you are not afraid of being betrayed by him?”
I have to say that his lunch is really not very rich, except for a small amount of fish and beef, most of which are vegetables and fruits. There is also an unfermented noodle cake, and the drink is a glass of water. Not even ice cubes were added.
In order to slow down the aging of the body, this legendary figure among the movie thief treats himself very harshly, and the nutritional intake of each meal is strictly limited. He is even more self-maligning than the monks of the **** of suffering Irmat. I don’t know dozens How did he persevere in a life without any rest and relaxation in Nian Ruyi.
For those who are extremely self-disciplined, Henry has always been very impressed, so he answered this question positively: “Congratulations, you are only half right. Interest is an important criterion for cooperation, but not all, and a little control is needed. Don’t worry, this partner’s every move, and even his thoughts are under my control, and he himself hasn’t noticed this.”
After countless attempts, he finally succeeded in leaving a hint in Hamid’s brain. Whether or not this guy will be controlled by the magic talisman in the end, as long as he makes a specific gesture, he will instantly turn back.
In fact, this is still a hint from Ghost City. They used a similar method to control Cynthia. Henry felt that since he had such a precise grasp of the human heart, why not try to work on this aspect, after all, it is so concealed. , Even the most powerful spells can’t detect anything.
After hearing this partner’s fate, Akanis shuddered involuntarily, and immediately whispered: “Damn! You are such a devil! I really don’t understand how a guy like you can remain neutral. camp.”
“Haha, it’s very simple. I am doing bad things at the same time doing good things. In the entire multiverse, behavior is always the first criterion for dividing camps. Even if you want to destroy the world all day long, as long as you don’t take actual actions, it’s a Good people. The reverse is also true. Even if you are thinking about saving the world, but if you accidentally cause a tragedy, regardless of the original motive, it is an outright evil? Evil behavior. The reason why many evil gods, demons and demons It is this method that can lure heavenly creatures and paladins to fall.”
Henry crossed his hands on the table, and said in a low voice the standard of camp division. After countless attempts, he has long found a way to balance good and evil.
What is good?
What is evil?
In fact, it’s very simple to put it plainly. The behavior that meets the benefit of the majority is good, such as tax relief, relatively equal laws, prosperous economic conditions, etc. Benefits, such as laws that favor nobles and big merchants, unscrupulous killings, subversion of the current rule for one’s own benefit, etc., as long as this is mastered, then the originally evil and evil things can be turned into good acts.
To give a simple example, it is absolutely evil to invade a stable country for no reason, but if you first induce the country into chaos, and then find a justified reason, the evil will immediately turn into neutrality. At that time, if you do more to relieve the civilians, you will not only not be scolded by the invaders in the end, but you may also gain the favor of the local people. As long as there are more praised people, the reputation of kindness will follow.
sounds incredible, but this is Faerun Continent’s code of conduct and standards of good and evil.
