The Amber Sword: Actor of the 114th Act Delphine
"There is a place near Rosalind called Pirate Bay. It was originally an old nest of pirates on the Luan Strait. After we cleaned it, we converted it into a secret pier. There is a secret passage connected to Rosalin. It was left by the smugglers in collusion with the pirates. "
Different from Insidolon's sword strike, Targus is a stable and pragmatic person. Since already and his partner have set a plan, he will not have any extravagance. He took Brando and Feng Huo to the one's own parlor, and ordered his men to move out of a map near the Strait of Straits and Rosalind, and told the Brando the location of Madara in the nearby code terminal.
Through the dim light, Brando can see clearly the position marked by the one-eyed dragon general on the rough map. In fact, Undeads does not need to be illuminated. This gray oil lamp that I do n’t know where to find it is just for Convenient for him and Feng Huo forget it/that's all.
"No secret passage, I just need to know the location," he replied, "how many boats are there?"
"Three, two-masted medium-sized sailing vessels."
"Are there sailors on the boat?"
"Some of them, but they are all undead. We usually disguise ourselves as pirates when we go to sea."
"Perhaps it would be better for you to disguise as a Spectre ship."
"Good idea," Soul Fire in Insidolon's eyes lightened slightly, as if he didn't hear the scornful tone of Brando, but then he shook his head in frustration and said with a bit of dissatisfaction, "Unfortunately, Your Majesty will not put Sa The Spectre army of Elva borrowed from us, and those things are now under the unified management of the woman of Alvit. "
"Banshee Queen?"
"Correct she, the woman who betrayed Dark Thanes." He didn't seem to plan to talk more about this issue, shaking his head and closing his mouth.
But Brando knows that the dark nobles on the west side of Sea of Dead Moon has always believed that Alvit was cast to Mercury Staff before Madara's supreme one showed dissatisfaction with Dark Thane, showing the woman's deep mind and two sides and three swords.
In fact, the root of the problem lies in the Alvit ’s betrayal of Dark Thane in the south, which caused these Undead Thanes to have a sense of crisis. Although they are the first to follow Mercury Staff, they are in the battle between supremacy of centralization and locality. In the same way, they are also the opposite of that supreme one.
With such a stand, it is impossible for these dark noble to fake the color of Banshee Queen who plays the emperor's loyal dog. And Insidolon with the same origin and position is naturally not exempt.
As the member of the vampire family who is closer to the emperor, Targus seems much more rational. Of course, this may be related to his own steady character. For the complaints of his peers, he is only did not say a word.
It's just raises head. I took a look at the latter.
Feng Huo stood behind Brando silently, watching quietly, as if to remember the details of the each of this Nine Phoenixes opponent. To complement her understanding of this dark kingdom.
"What are you going to do with this stronghold next? I'm going to find two people next." Brando glanced around and asked the two.
"No processing is needed, undead does not need food. After we leave, no one will go out here, and it will remain the same until your Majesty appoints a new person in charge here." Targus looked at the bones and shelves standing around Take a look and answer.
Brando is okay, but I feel a bit sighed at the natural advantages of undead in some aspects. There is no morale, almost no food, and no excretion or rest besides Necromancer. In these respects, humans are not as good as undead.
Fortunately, they also have disadvantages. First of all, it is difficult to sneak into the human world. Although they can establish secret strongholds in places such as Rosalinn that are not tightly guarded, it is also because humans open one eye and close one eye. Otherwise, Holy Cathedral only needs to detect undead or undead hidden in the human world at a glance.
In contrast, humans are very common in Madara. First, businessmen, tourists and travelers who crossed Sea of Dead Moon from Nine Phoenixes and Lubeck, then Necromancer, dark acolytes, and various exiles who lived here. Criminals and people out of sight in various countries.
If Madara wants to capture all humans living on its land. That has to be messed up.
Secondly, the basic command units of Undeads are based on the number of Lich, and the IQ of Lich itself is unsatisfactory. Therefore, except for Black Knight Guardsmen established by Insidolon, Undeads rarely uses too complicated tactics. Before the Battle of the Oblique Forest. Players say that Vaunde's undead likes to use the skull sea to blow away in a blind breath is really not an exaggeration, it is actually a helpless choice for Dark Thanes, because their basic NCO is not enough to support too complicated tactics.
"then come with me ..." he replied.
...
Many scavengers choose to buy or rent a house west of Rosalin, because most people who live on this road know that such a secret passage that leads to Rosalin is outside the city The secret passage built in the year was first built by a group of wicked pirates. It was mainly used for kidnapping and extortion and kidnapping of residents in the city, and then sold it to those Undead Thane in the south of Madara. In turn, they extorted their relatives in the city.
But then these people took off. They kidnapped Rosalin Thane's's son, the current Rosalin Thane's brother, and threw this unfortunate man into the sea. Then these pirates were cleared by the Rosalin family's fleet at sea. Most were arrested and hanged. A few survivors or incognito went to the Swift Plain. Since then, this secret passage has also fallen to the smuggler's. In my hand, it continues to this day.
To this day, the real owner of this secret passage has been the Rosalin Thane's army. After all, the army has always been the uncrowned king of smugglers. Several Knight-Captains hold this 'business', and have been passed down from generation to generation, almost forming an industry. And through it to maintain a tacit understanding with the large and small forces in the city.
So for a long time, almost all the people walking on the dark roads, or the tramps drifting on the sea (also known as pirates by Rosalind) are aware of this fact. Most of the settlers know that they are not very popular in the world of order, and their safety and life may not be guaranteed, so they also need such a back road.
Or in other words, it ’s actually ‘accepted’ in a sense.
Of course, the tacit understanding between these desperates and the Lord Thane army naturally avoids the wise eyes of the Rosalings.
For such a situation, naturally Xin is not exempt. However, he was generally regarded as a decent person among scavengers, so he sold an entire building at 52 West Street as the nominal headquarters of his caravan.
In the busiest season of business on the black road, this building is quite famous in the circle. The guests who come here have merchants who entrust him to carry goods and many of them are businessmen with formal identity on the Luan Strait. And their housekeeper, and even Necromancer who came to him to 'order'.
But since the Madara's bones failed in the Bone Wilderness, the business here, or the entire scavenger ecosystem, has withered away.
Many have switched careers to become pirates, and some have closed their hands, left this messy slum, and come back again. Either go to be mercenary, but that is usually the choice made by the poor ghosts who have no money. In the Luan Strait, mercenary on merchant ships is generally similar to cannon fodder.
When Naxin raises head looked at the rusty signboard hanging in front of this building, his heart was full of memories of the past. The iron signboard had a triangle sign, which he and his earliest partner had set. "Company" trademark, unfortunately, the guy who shared his vision was a short-lived ghost. He had lung disease early and was buried in an unknown tomb on the outskirts of Rosalin. God knew that no one would scan him after that. tomb.
He sighed and took the key from his pocket to open the door. At the beginning, he vowed to return to Nine Phoenixes together, but now he has made a lot of money, but his hope of returning to his hometown is still slim.
It ’s so different from the original plan. The family business that I ’ve earned for half my life on the black road does n’t seem to help that goal. Instead, I made the last trip between Tomro and Rosalin. A youngster accidentally rescued from time to time, but gave himself hope of returning to his hometown.
I don't know if the guy knows what happened to one's own.
He pushed open the door, and there were no dark people in the lobby. It seemed that the My friends who were under him had not returned, and they did not know whether they had heard the news that the adult wanted. He was full of thoughts, but suddenly he heard footsteps, and he walked down the stairs on the second floor alone.
"Sai Basset?" He looked up and saw a dark-skinned boy wearing a gray apron walking down the stairs.
The latter was full of surprises when he saw him, and shouted happily: "Uncle Xin? Scared me to death, I thought you were going to the black road again and could not meet you."
"I just came back from the black road," said Xin Xin, frowning at the same time and looking at the other side. The boy Correct was the only offspring of his poor partner. He didn't want the other party to take the old road one's own, so it took a lot The money was sent early to become an apprentice of the Thane blacksmith, "Why did you come out, who let you out of the castle, did you sneak out?"
"Of course not, I don't have that courage, that uncle Xin." Sai Basset quickly explained: "It was a lady who asked me to come out and let me help her do something in the city."
"What are you doing here?"
