"What a fool!"

"You should slow down a bit!"

Just as Li Wei was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, in a tailor shop diagonally opposite the Hoge Alchemy Supermarket, the tailor Melanke looked at the old Cohen who had abandoned his work in the perfume shop next door and hired people to buy various goods outside the Hoge Supermarket.

Weapon-like, his eyes were red, he slapped the wooden ruler directly on the sewing machine, and said to his fat daughter who had just snapped up a lot of shopping across the street and returned home with a full load:

"Asdien, come here and help me look at the store. Your dad and I have something to do and I have to go out."

"It's an undead shop! If you have one more customer in the shop today, I will take my surname from the old Coen next door."

Fat daughter Esdien rolled her eyes, "Who told you not to give me more money before? Now you regret it! You don't even know when you have to wait in line."

"You! Too! This store should be closed today! Anyway, I guess there won't be much business today."

After Melanke finished approving his coat, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He paused, quickly took off the money bag from his waist and stuffed it into his daughter's hand, saying:

"Now, take your two younger brothers! Go to those guys who are handing out flyers and buy me this kind of membership application form in their hands! Two! No! Someone must have done this now! Press three brass thumbs

Charge me the price, the more, the better! Once it’s done, I’ll give you an extra 10 silver coins as pocket money this month!”

"Really!" Esdian's eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and his bloated body began to tremble with excitement.

"Go!" Melanke quickly pushed his daughter out of the house, pulled down the store door, and without caring about anything else, rushed towards the north of the next block at a speed much more agile than ordinary people.

After turning several remote corners in succession, and seeing no one around, he took out a black hood and put it on his head, entered through the back door of a restaurant called Gilded Rose Restaurant, and then walked through a secret passage to the back of the building.

underground.

What even his daughter didn't know was that Melanke, on the surface, was an old tailor who had worked in the trading area for more than 20 years, but secretly he had another identity.

That's a shadow thief!

And this is the headquarters and paradise of thieves!

Strictly speaking, the Shadow Thieves are also a branch of the Thieves Guild, but the reason why the Shadow Thieves are able to stand out and become the largest and most prosperous Thieves Guild in Coreal is due to its complex interlocking guild system.

These unions are dedicated to the dual goals of profit and power, radiating from many strongholds in Drawwater to Amn. These unions control criminal activities in almost the entire Sword Coast, and extend their black hands to other areas of Koriel.

The high confidentiality of the union and its operations means that union members have little understanding of the overall operation of the organization and other colleagues, and the forces of law and order are always trying to break through the wall of silence surrounding the Shadow Thieves, but

Unfortunately, they all had little success. Although some unions were eliminated from time to time, overall the organization became stronger and stronger as time went by.

Secrecy is the key to the success of a guild organization. The individual guilds that make up the Shadow Thieves are carefully arranged and instructed so that each member only knows the names and appearances of a few other members.

These members are very resistant to acting together, so even if one of them is caught or decides to reveal something they know, the threat to the other members is minimal.

Only members of the Shadow Council have all the information about the overall operations and agents of the organization, and even so, it still fears being compromised by traitors or infiltrators that could plunge the entire organization into turmoil.

More importantly, those who fail to keep the organization's secrets usually cause the organization to lose money, which must not be tolerated. Therefore, it is not surprising that the punishment for members who betray the organization's secrets is extremely cruel, or even directly executed.

Already.

On the contrary, those members who still strictly maintain the organization's secrets in the face of personal danger, arrest and imprisonment are rewarded.

What makes members of any level of the organization feel gratified is that when the worst happens to them, their families will be taken care of by the organization. This policy allows the organization to gain almost full family-like loyalty in the inner circle.

In the outer ring of the organization, members of the local unions operating on behalf of the Shadow Thieves will receive compensation from the union when they are arrested and sanctioned. Some relatively wealthy local unions will also provide compensation to the member's family when the member is executed.

To compensate.

About a little more than a century ago, five ambitious criminals founded the Shadow Thieves. The original base of the organization was located in the city of Gishui, located here. It operates like any other thieves' guild, but the important difference is:

The power of the union actually depends on one of the latecomers—

Shadow Master!

Reinnom Deniseil

In addition, there are five other leaders who together with Rhinenom form the Shadow Parliament. The vast territory of the union is divided into the hands of six of them, each of whom is responsible for the operation of a region.

All members of the Shadow Council have at least three distinct identities, ensuring that they can travel in some disguise at any time.

And now, he, Melanke, will try to directly 'meet' the master of the shadows before everyone else does!

If he can grab the biggest piece of cake for the Shadow Thieves Guild, maybe he can move up to the next level after his status in the guild has been stagnant for five years.

Even if his three stupid children are unable to inherit his position by then, with his loyalty and contribution to the guild over the past decades, he must take care of them secretly, and the guild will still agree.

However, what made his heart sinking was that after he reported to the core area, he found that there were only a few people in the union headquarters, which used to provide behind-the-scenes support for the activities of at least three thousand thieves at the same time. He couldn't help but uttered a curse word:

"Fuck! 80% of them have gone to Hogg's workshop to pick up money!"

At this moment, the shadow servant responsible for reporting said to him:

"Staff maker, the Film Emperor already knows your purpose. The Film Emperor asked me to ask you:

"As the thirteenth member of the Hogg Alchemy Supermarket who reported him, how much do you know about the background and purpose of these outsiders, and do you have any substantive suggestions for their actions this time? Let us Shadow Thief

Guild, how can we maximize our interests in the subsequent game between all parties?"

"this"

When Melanke heard these words, he was completely stunned.

This was the first time that he instinctively felt that he might have encountered a big event that happened right across from his store!

So I plucked up the courage, prepared to bet my future and destiny, and went to meet the Lord of the Dark with the news and suggestions I still had while they were still hot. What I faced was this kind of response.

Does this feel the same as when your daughter took the exam at the Magic Academy?

Time passed by, and just when he realized that the shadow servant's patience was about to run out, a scene of the group of people renting a shop three days ago and a few words he overheard flashed through his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said

:

"Please be sure to tell the actor that the boss of Hogg's Alchemy Workshop has an extraordinary background. He just had a secret meeting with the lady from the Xialan Chamber of Commerce three days ago!

“So I make a bold guess that the Xialan Chamber of Commerce is probably behind this action of Hogg Alchemy Workshop!

"Please also ask the actor, when facing Hogg's alchemy workshop in this operation,
Chapter completed!
