Advent of the Archmage Chapter 55: Syndicate (3/3)
After clearing up, Jacques put on his newly purchased steel armor, holding a brand-new stainless steel thick round shield in his hand, and replaced the new hammer with a new steel nail. This pair of equipment cooperates with He is 2 meters tall and looks as thick as a humanoid tank.
Gridan is also completely new.
For ease of movement, Link also put on a light leather suit.
Then the three of them set off and headed towards the market to the east of Hegu Town.
The town is not large, but it is only a mile away, but because it is close to Wangdu Hot Spring City and Kings Avenue just passes here, there are many pedestrians coming and going, everyone has it, so the three of Link are not. How conspicuous.
After about five or six minutes' walk, the three reached the entrance to the town fair.
Because there is a large number of livestock transactions in the market, farmers in the Gwente Forest will come here to buy or sell cattle and sheep and other livestock. These things are of high value and the animals may run wild. At the entrance of the market, two small town militiamen are guarding it, and there are more militia patrols in the market to prevent riots.
As a mercenary, of course, he would deal with the militia. When he walked to a militia, Yac passed a silver coin without a trace, with a smile on his face: "John, what happened in the market recently? Right? "
In terms of the love of silver coins, John was very good. He shook his head and said, "No, today's market is in good order, even noisy."
"Oh, so. Did you see Lucy?" Jac asked again.
Lucy is beautiful and has a good figure. As a mercenary, he likes to wear leather armor for the convenience of battle. Leather armor is particularly prominent, so he is very popular in River Valley. It is the dream lover of many bachelors. We all know her existence, even if you haven't seen it, you've heard its reputation.
Of course, John also knows Lucy. In fact, he is one of Lucy's suitors. Of course, Lucy has always given him a good word.
He shook his head: "I haven't seen her. She didn't come to the market today, otherwise I would never know it!"
As soon as this happened, Yake, Glidan and Link frowned at the same time. It seems that something really happened!
At first sight of the three, John asked nervously, "Why, Lucy wasn't with you?"
This look of him looks only to Jacques and Glidan's eyes, but it's just that a pursuer cares about his goals, but in Link's eyes, he sees more news.
This John does have a tense expression, but when he speaks, his eyes are a little skeptical, and he seems to know something inside.
Linke immediately walked up, flipped his hand, two gold coins were sandwiched between his fingers, and a gleam of golden light was revealed. At the same time, Link adjusted the position and blocked other people's vision to ensure that only John was alone. See the gold coins.
He asked softly, "Tell me what you know, and these two coins are yours, John."
Looking a little hesitant to see John, Link quickly added: "Do you know why Lucy despise you?"
"Why?" John asked instinctively.
Linke's face made a mocking smile: "She told me that you are just unreliable and you ca n’t give her a sense of security. I thought this was an excuse, but I did n’t expect it to be true. It ’s time, you are still thinking about your own safety, why do you pursue her like this? "
When Link was so excited, John's face turned red immediately, and he was angry: "Who said I only thought of myself? Do you know who you messed up with?"
"Who?"
"... I can't say!" John held back at the last minute.
Linke took a hand and appeared five gold coins. Jin Chanchan's light was very dazzling. John swallowed his mouthwater. This money was worth half a year of his income. He took a look around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He finally whispered: "If Lucy really does happen, it can only be done by Syndicate, and I will have so much."
As soon as he finished, he stared at the gold coin in Link's hand.
Yes, he likes Lucy, but Lucy despises him, and she also provoked Syndicate, that is already a dead person. In John's eyes, a dead person is far less important than gold coins.
Linke threw the gold coins over, and then said to Jacques and Glidan: "Go, there is no more news in the market."
Since it was done by Syndicate, their methods must be very secretive. There is a huge flow of people in the bazaar, and they ca n’t even track the smell. Even low-level tracking magic is not useful.
He certainly knows Syndicate. If the Brotherhood of Darkness is the largest underground force in the west of Gwent Forest, then Syndicate is a group of giant thieves that spread throughout the entire human race. They originated in the Southern Free Business Alliance and passed a thousand Over the years, it has spread throughout the entire human race.
The Gwente Forest naturally has their branches, and they occupy the entire southern area of the forest.
Compared to them, the Dark Brotherhood is a ground snake, and Syndicate is a dragon in the underground world. It's not a dragon but a river. Although the nations of the Terran nation have repeatedly cleared Syndicate's power, soon after, Syndicate will emerge again, and then it will flourish.
They are like tenacious weeds that can't be burned out.
Linke also knows that the reason why Syndicate organization can't be removed like mange is that behind this organization stands a legendary powerhouse with nearly immortal life.
He is a walker in the shadows, a master class thief, one of the underground kings of the Ferroman continent, and the founder of the first syndicate organization, Morpheus!
This person has the power of the legendary pinnacle, and has touched some of the mysteries of the **** domain. In the previous game, in order to ignite the fire and seal the god, he finally cooperated with the dark gods, making the entire syndicate a big tumor in the shining world.
Because of this, Morpheus became the final boss of the first team copy of the game, and the union that Link was in also got the first kill of the boss.
Recalling the thrilling battle in the previous game, Link whispered, "Morpheus, now you have started on that dark road, right?"
Of course, the Syndicate organization in Gwente Forest is just a branch. Naturally, Link will not encounter the big boss of Morpheus, but it is also very difficult.
He has to think about it.
Obviously, Jacques and Glidan also knew the syndicate organization. On the way back, they were silent. They did not mean to abandon the rescue of Lucy. They would never give up doing this. They just faced this behemoth and they did not Know how to save it.
After a few minutes of walking, Link has a rough idea of the whole thing.
First, what is the purpose of the syndicate?
Gold coins? This should be one of the goals of the other party. Although Syndicate should not be short of money, no one would think that they have more money than that.
Then it should be ... Devil Rune of Taruvis.
This demonized rune is a key part to help the demon Taruvis escape from the enchantment plan, so he is lost by Wit. The dark forces behind this must definitely find it back. At this time, Mo Fez had cooperated with the dark gods, and Syndicate naturally became a running dog of the dark forces.
‘Enchanted runes should be syndicate ’s biggest target. ‘Linker makes this judgment, so that Lucy should n’t be life-threatening until the end of the demonized rune is determined.
But before that, Syndicate will definitely torture her and ask her, as long as she can't help but say that the demonized rune is in Link, Lucy will be killed and Link will fall into a huge In trouble.
At this time, regardless of whether Lucy said or not, Link would not blame her, because if he was in a similar predicament, when the body was tortured by horror, he would never hesitate to tell the secret in his heart. .
The most important thing now is to find Lucy as soon as possible and rescue Lucy.
The thoughts went around. When the three walked to the gate of the River Valley Hotel, Link had a rough plan. He asked the silent Jacques around him, "How can I find Syndicate in River Valley?" The messenger? "
There is no such thing as an absolutely closed organization. Each organization will set up external messengers. This is mainly to prevent unnecessary loss caused by poor information communication between various organizations.
As a mercenary, Jacques has a better understanding of the underground world than Link. He came to Gwent Forest to eat rice. Naturally, he must worship the mountain first. What can be touched and what cannot be touched, there is a bottom in mind, and Syndicate. Power belongs to the one that must not be touched.
He immediately said: "They should be found in the casinos in River Valley."
"Go to the casino!"
