Lord God Investigator

In the secret room of the Shadow Thieves Guild, Ellen Linville and Renault Bloodhead were sitting on the sofa, anxiously waiting for the news.

It was already late at night. In the past, Ai Lang had already gone to sleep with the woman in his arms. He had not planned to wait for news all night, but for some reason he felt uneasy and had inexplicable heart palpitations, so he fell asleep while lying on the bed. No, he simply pulled Renault along to wait for the good news from Arcanis.

He believed that Arkanis would not miss, and there was no one in Faerûn that Arkanis could not kill!

That man redefined the word "assassination". With his protection hidden in the darkness, the Shadow Thieves Guild can move forward steadily amid numerous crises and numerous enemies.

The only thing to worry about is whether the assassination will be exposed.

Ellen began to think about how to remove the suspicion, guide public opinion, and blame other evil forces in Ascaltra City if there were witnesses who discovered that the Shadow Thief had killed Bradero...

There was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the secret room. Ellen woke up from thinking, sat upright, and was ready to welcome the triumphant Arkanis.

He even began to imagine that Arkanis brought back Bredlow's bloody head, and he didn't know what his expression would be like when someone cut off the handsome face with a sardonic smile and kicked it with a ball.

The door to the secret room was pushed open, and Milo, Max's pastor and deputy commander of the assassination operation, burst in panting. He even forgot to salute the two shadow thieves leaders and said in a rough voice: "It's not good, shadow." Lord, it’s not good!”

Ellen Linville's face sank. Pastor Milo was his right-hand man and think tank. He was usually a very calm, steady, quick-thinking, cunning and alert person. Many of his vicious schemes only worked because of his suggestions and operations.

This is also the reason why he exclusively assisted Arkanis in assassinating Bredero. Important operations must be arranged with the most reliable people to handle them.

But what is he like now?

Even if the assassination was exposed, what would happen if the Amn guards discovered it?

The members of the six-member Council of Amn are sitting in front of him. Even if the sky falls, in Amn, the film owner Ellen Linville can still hold up a protective umbrella!

"Miro, calm down. When a person loses his calm, he often does stupid things." Ellen said coldly: "Don't lose your calm even if you make a mistake. Panic can only make the mistake more serious."

The cold tone of the film owner made Milo sober immediately as if cold water had been poured on his head. He did not dare to scream anymore, so he closed his mouth wisely and stood at attention.

"This looks like a shadow thief." Ai Lang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Milo swallowed his foam and showed a confused expression, frowning but unable to speak.

"What happened to you today?"

Ellen said displeased: "You can't even speak? I'm really disappointed in you!"

"Well, the assassination failed." Milo could only say with a grimace.

Ellen was stunned and asked: "The murder scene was not handled well and was discovered by the Amn guards?"

Milo shook his head with a strange expression and sighed: "I didn't kill him at all.".

"Bredro escaped? How is that possible?"

Ellen's eyes widened and he continued to ask: "You are the only one who came back. Where is Akanis? Did he go to continue the pursuit?"

Milo's expression became even weirder. He winked for a long time and held back half a sentence: "Master Arkanis..."

"What happened to him!"

Ai Lang was really angry and stood up suddenly with a ferocious expression. He had exhausted his patience by the idiot in front of him.

"Lord Akanis seems to have rebelled..."

"What did you say? Say it louder and again!"

"Lord Arkanis-Gas has betrayed the Shadow Thieves Guild and surrendered to the enemy!"

Ellen Linville stared at Milo, just staring silently, which made the priest, who was known for his calmness and wisdom, break out in cold sweat.

He felt that the volcano was brewing in Lord Shadow Master's body.

Ellen exhaled and suddenly laughed, the laughter getting louder and louder. He turned to the bloody head of Renoir on the side: "Brother Renoir, haha, he said that the patron saint of shadow thieves, Arcanis-Gas, betrayed the shadow thieves. , do you think it’s funny or not? Did you collude to arrange it? Don’t make this kind of joke again, my stomach hurts from laughing. "

Renault's blood-headed face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said: "How could I make such a damn joke to you? Milo, have you been hit by a dementia spell? Find a mage to cast a dispelling spell on you. Don't make such a joke again." What a stupid joke!"

Milo said with a bitter face: "My lords, what I said is true. Master Arkanis betrayed the Shadow Thief. He did not allow us to kill Bredro, and he also rescued the severely injured Bredro! "

"Are you crazy? You are just talking crazy things!"

Renoir's bloody head angrily said: "Even if Ellen and I betray the Shadow Thieves, there is no way Arcanis will betray us! The Patron Saint of Shadow Thieves is not just an honorary title, there are countless corpses of the Shadow Thief's enemies lying behind this title! If you dare to slander our most loyal brother again, I will personally break your bones in the torture chamber!"

Milo was about to cry. He said with great grievance: "I swear on the name of Max, the god of thieves that I believe in. I am not telling any lies. I can't believe what I said, but I saw it with my own eyes." , all the brothers who went to assassinate him also saw it."

Renault pulled out the shadow thief dagger from his waist and was about to step forward to teach Milo a lesson, but Ellen raised his hand to stop him.

The film owner quickly calmed down, accepted the ridiculous news for the time being, and asked coldly: "What's going on? Why did Arkanis rescue Bredreau?"

"I do not know either."

Milo said helplessly: "Inexplicably, he drew a knife on the brothers and threatened that if we dared to hurt Bredero, he would kill us. He asked me to tell you that everything is his fault, please Understand him and don’t punish us.”

"Arkanis has never met Bredreau before, and has only watched two of his stage plays. How could he possibly draw a sword against the Shadow Thieves brothers because of him?"

Renault's bloody head shook his head repeatedly and said in disbelief.

Ai Lang had a gloomy face, thinking about various possibilities, but couldn't figure it out.

Akanis is a person who has no desires and desires. The meaning of his life is to protect the Shadow Thieves Guild. Money, beauty, power, and even mind control magic cannot reverse his iron will.

That man was the purest man Ellen had ever seen. He was like an ascetic and a martyr. The Shadow Thieves Guild was his home, and the Shadow Thieves were his family.

What could move him so much that he could change the creed he had adhered to all his life and betray his home and family?

"You were present at the time and witnessed everything. Even if it's just a guess, can you tell me why Akanis betrayed you?"

Unable to think of a clue, Ai Lang could only ask the person involved, Milo, hoping to find clues from his few words.

"hiss……"

Milo gasped like a toothache, twisted his face and thought hard for a long time, then hesitantly said: "I am also making random guesses, but please don't get angry because of my guesses."

"Don't worry, we understand that we should stay calm when encountering serious problems."

"I guess Lord Arkanis fell in love with Bradero at first sight and fell in love with him..."

Ellen Linville heard this and said nothing. He jumped up and pounced on Milo, punched him in the mouth and knocked all his teeth to the ground.
