Lord God Investigator

At noon on the Green Grass Festival, the sun hangs in the sky and the sun shines brightly.

While fierce quarrels and even fights broke out in various taverns and hotels in Ascaltra City over the morning performance of "The Temple of Lathander", a group of heavily armed paladins gathered in the square in front of the Temple of Lathander.

High Priest Gartniss, wearing a holy robe embroidered with the sun emblem with gold threads, came to the group of paladins and said in a deep voice:

"Bredro must give a reasonable explanation for his stupid move of slandering the Holy Religion, immediately stop performing that absurd play full of cheap lies, and sincerely apologize to Deputy Priest Murit. You will come with me to Amn." At the Bolshoi Theatre, I will lodge a stern protest with Bradero, if he persists..."

"Evil will melt like snow under the blazing sun!"

The paladins beat their breastplates and roared.

"The light is always there!"

Gartniss struck the golden scepter, took solid and steady steps, and led the Knights of the Morning towards the bridge area.

A large number of people gathered in front of the Wujiuhu Hotel in Daqiao District, the vast majority of which were civilians. There were few nobles, but there were many beggars and homeless people.

People heard from the quarrel in the tavern that "The Temple of Lathander" performed by the Bredlow Theater this time was a work that praised the poor. The lowest commoners in the play were ragged and behaved rudely, but they had far superior abilities. The virtues of people who live in that so-called educated and civilized world are that they help each other, are honest, brave and self-sacrificing.

The nobles didn't like it and the clergy hated it, but the common people, who accounted for the largest proportion of the population of Ascaltra City, loved it. They couldn't wait to flock to the Amn Grand Theater, waiting for the afternoon performance to start.

When the Knights of the Morning Light of Lathander arrived at the entrance of the Grand Theater, they were surrounded by people who blocked them from entering the theater.

"Don't let them in. These people are coming with bad intentions and they must be harmful to Mr. Bredlow!"

"Everyone knows the dirty things done by the priests of Lathander. Mr. Bredreau just used a little artistic processing. What do you want to do to him?"

"Get away, we will never allow you to use your power to bully the troupe. Do you want the scenes in the play to be repeated?"

…

Gatnis suppressed his anger and ordered the paladins to exercise restraint and not to intensify the conflict, but he kept cursing these stupid people in his heart.

With the god-given power of the high priest, whether he summoned the divine servants or used the magical blade storm, it was easy to drive away this group of ignorant people, but he could not openly commit violence against civilians in public.

The Church of Lathander is one of the largest churches in Faerûn, but its power in Amn is not very strong.

The church with the largest number of believers in Amn is the Church of Woking. The country of merchants is not called it for nothing.

The church with the second largest number of believers is not Lathander, but the Church of Talos. The people of Amn made their fortune from sea trade, and are most afraid of the Lord of Storms.

The church with the third largest number of believers is actually the Church of Max, the God of Thieves. Most of the Amn shadow thieves believe in Max.

Coupled with the fact that 14% of Amn's population are dwarves and halflings, the belief in alien gods has divided a large number of believers.

The God of Protection, Helm, the God of Loyalty and Courage, Thom, and the God of Justice, Tyr, also separated a large number of followers of the Lathander Church, and the power of the Lathander Church was barely equal to those of these three churches.

After the Tribulation of Dawn, the prestige and influence of the Church of Lathander were greatly weakened. It could no longer just tie ignorant people to the stake and declare them to be heretics and roast them as they could before the Tribulation of Dawn.

Faced with such a chaotic scene, Gatnis was not troubled. He immediately loudly explained to the people that coming this time was not detrimental to Bradlow. The paladins would not enter the theater, and he was the only one to see him. Bradlow, clear up the misunderstanding with him.

Only then did the people make way for him, and the chief priest, who suppressed his anger, was able to enter the Amn Theater.

Gatnis went straight to the green room backstage of the theater. He wanted to confront Bredlow face to face, and tried every means to persuade Bredlow to stop the performance of "Temple of Lathander" immediately. He believed that the artist who was praised by the public was crazy. Able to distinguish good from evil.

The Church of Lathander may not be very powerful in Amn, but looking at the entire continent of Faerûn, the glory of Lathander spreads all over the land, and it is definitely not something that a mere actor or painter with a little reputation can offend.

Having angered the Holy Father, the Lord of the Dawn, and waiting for him to incarnate and descend to earth to eliminate evil, the feeling of having his soul roasted in the holy flames for eternity will not be pleasant!

Pushing open the door to the green room, the chief priest Gatnis was stunned. The room had long been empty. Where were the shadows of Bredlow and other members of the troupe?

The chief priest went around the Amn Grand Theater but couldn't find any members of the troupe. Only then did he find out that after the Bredero troupe finished the first performance and recorded the live version of the Phantom, they left the theater with a team of adventurers. I don't know. Whereabouts.

There were only a few employees of "Bradero and Friends Cultural Technology Development Co., Ltd." guarding the "Magic Box of Light and Shadow" in the theater. The afternoon performance was to play the "Magic Version" stage play. The actors and troupe staff had already withdraw.

The chief priest, who wanted to prevent "Lathander Temple" from continuing to perform, smashed the "Light and Shadow Box" on the spot, and the noise alarmed the people gathered at the door. A conflict immediately broke out, just like the last scene in "The Temple of Lathander". Tramps and beggars took out slings and clubs and fought with the paladins of the Knights of Lathander Morning.

The fighting power of the holy warriors was not comparable to that of civilians, but they did not dare to go on a killing spree, so they suffered a big loss with their hands tied. They were pushed to the ground by the people and beaten until they rolled on the ground.

Gartniss left behind the group of paladins who had shouted loud slogans when they set off, but now were beaten and screamed, and alone activated the Death Spirit Flame and rushed out of the crowd.

He knew the crux of the problem. Only by catching Bradlow and having him admit his mistakes could he restore the reputation of the Church of Lathander and stop these irrational mobs.

The high priest used all the power at his disposal, mobilized the believers among the nobles, and tried his best to find the whereabouts of the Bredreau Troupe. He even sent the Knights of the Morning Light to ride out of the city to pursue them and set up a search net, but found nothing.

The city gate guards did not see the troupe leaving the city at all, and there was no registration of the Bredero troupe leaving the port by ship in the port customs records. The masked mage would not have sensed any fluctuations in space magic in the city.

It was as if the Bredlow Theater Company had vanished into thin air.

What Gatnis didn't know was that Luo Feng had already laid out his escape route as early as two years ago when the city hall was investigating the theater bombing.

On the third underground floor of the cobbler's workshop near the Amn Grand Theater, the small smuggling dock has a sea ship ready all year round. The Bredreau Troupe and the Mithril Team quietly took the boat out to sea here without disturbing anyone. people.
