Lord God Investigator

Chapter 258 Betraitors will also be betrayed

Ellen Linville was escorted by six paladins and walked on the road leading to the temple area. He thought repeatedly about how to speak when he saw the high priest of the dawn, and proved to the high priest that the shadow thief could become the Saint of Lathander. The most powerful tool the Father has to better rule Amn.

Just like the previous Amn regime, the Shadow Thieves Guild is indispensable to the Council of Six.

Only by making merchants think that they have privileges in Amn will they be more active in amassing wealth. Therefore, the Council of Six has formulated laws that explicitly protect merchants, and has always claimed to value the interests of merchants the most.

Otherwise, if businessmen know that they have no power to keep the wealth in their hands, how can they make money in vain?

But in fact, businessmen have no privileges. If nobles, mages, and temple priests want to punish a businessman privately, they must use shadow thieves to do so, and then pretend to arrest the shadow thieves who assassinated the businessman and execute them. The tragedy was blamed on the criminals.

In this way, he not only killed the disobedient businessman and looted the gold coins he accumulated, but also cleverly diverted the hatred away from the council.

The city of merchants and the country of merchants are just superficial, and the six-member council system only looks like democracy.

Without the shadow thieves to act as thugs and take the blame, the merchants would see through this trick.

While he was meditating, Ellen suddenly realized that the paladins did not escort him to the Lathander Temple. They were walking in the direction of the Knights of the Heart of Heat.

"Wait!" Ellen Linville stopped and said coldly: "Where are you taking me?"

The paladin captain had an inexplicable smile on his face: ""Sir Linville, don't be nervous, there are a few old noble friends who want to meet you. "

Ellen-Linville had many aristocratic friends. In the past, he would have been happy to go there and have a good time with those friends.

But now, the shadow master's heart suddenly sank. He realized that this patrol was not the Knights of the Dawn of the Temple of Lathander, but the Knights of the Hot Heart formed by the local nobles of Amn.

The members of the Knights of the Hot Heart are not clergy. Most of them are young men of noble origin, paladins who believe in Tyr, Heim, and Thom.

"No, it's urgent. I must see the chief priest immediately." Ai Lang shook his head and said, "I want..."

The paladin captain said with a cold face: "Sir Linville, you'd better come with us to meet a few old friends and explain clearly what you want to report to the High Priest of Dawn. They all want to see you, but since Six After the Grand Knights occupied Amn, you disappeared, which made these friends very worried."

The film owner's hand touched the dagger at his waist. He had already figured out what these strange paladins wanted to do.

Most of those old noble friends were noble friends who had asked Ellen Linville for help before.

As for what help?

For example, a young and romantic paladin had a love affair with a beautiful girl from a slum. The paladin thought that it would be something that could be done with a few gold coins, but the girl took the paladin's love for them into account when they first met. The lie was taken seriously, and she was entangled in the thought that she could marry into a noble family.

Another example is that a certain aristocratic son fell in love with the daughter of a wealthy businessman, but the beauty already had a crush on him and had a fiancé.

At this time, the shadow thief needs to take action to solve the problem.

Alan Linville helped many impulsive noble young men solve many problems. He recorded the process of helping in detail and made a ledger. The purpose of course was to hope that those young nobles would grow up and inherit the family business, and be able to repay this debt. The debt I owed when I was young.

"Go tell my friends." Ai Lang said patiently: "I am definitely not telling their secrets to the chief priest of the dawn. Reporting them is meaningless to me. Please don't worry, I have long forgotten those things before. I will never mention it again!"

The purge operation of the Grand Priest of the Dawn is about to begin. Not only the people and the Shadow Thieves are making noise, but also the young nobles with stains in the past.

No one knows how stringent the high priest's purge operation will be, and whether tainted noble youths will be involved, until it actually begins.

But everyone knows that the High Priest of Dawn is a serious, serious, and uninterested person. There are also conflicts between the foreign knights and the local knights. In the future, whether the local faction or the outsiders will dominate the country of Amn is still unclear. In the midst of controversy.

There is no guarantee that these stains will not become the target of criticism!

And the person who knows these stains is Ellen Linville.

Going to the Temple of Lathander late at night, wanting to meet the High Priest of Dawn and informing the High Priest of Dawn, how could the young nobles who had ulterior motives not associate this matter with themselves?

In fact, Ai Lang's noble friends have been looking for him for a long time. In this turbulent period, after the theocratic system replaced the six-member council system, this group of nobles could not help but be more careful and try their best to wipe out all the dirty things they had done in the past. thing.

After the knights entered the city, the nobles already knew that the Shadow Thieves Guild had completed its historical mission and was included in the death list.

Alan Linville, the gangster leader who sold his title of viscount by donating gold coins, has never been regarded as one of the nobles. Now times have changed, and the past should be buried. No one is better than Linville's friends. Want his life.

"These words, after meeting those friends, you can tell them in person." The paladin captain sneered: "I just obey orders. As long as I bring you to them, a large amount of gold coins will go into my pocket. You will also get promoted.”

"Damn idiot!" Ai Lang gritted his teeth and said: "I want to report to the chief priest of Dawn that the people are planning an uprising. It has nothing to do with the secrets of those people!"

The film owner did not bother to keep the secret until he saw the High Priest of Dawn and revealed the truth. He knew that these holy warriors were entrusted by the nobles. If he did not persuade them to let him go and was taken away by them, he would probably be assassinated. Take those secrets with you to the kingdom of the dead!

"Hahaha..." The paladin captain burst out laughing: "I used to think that the Lord of Shadow Thieves was such a great person, but I didn't expect that making up a lie would be so clumsy. You might as well say that the kobolds in the sewers are gathering an army. Counterattack the surface world and establish the kobold kingdom."

"The people got the support of Bredlow and got a batch of wands. They planned to use those wands to rebel..."

"Please continue to make it up." The paladin captain looked at Ellen with a smile: "Do you think my knowledge of magic is so lacking that you don't know that not everyone can use the wand?"

A sense of absurdity arose in Alanlinville's heart. He once thought that his life would be different after he made friends with the nobles and became a member of the nobles.

However, after working hard all his life, nothing has changed. His so-called pursuit of destiny is just an illusion. If he wants to become a noble, the best way is to be born into a noble.

But now, he betrayed the class he came from, but was eliminated by the class he wanted to join.
