Chapter 294: The Melaleuca Routine of Treating Prisoners(1/2)
Compared to other forces, Luskan's Arcane Brotherhood has been committed to infiltrating and unifying the entire Sword Coast and even the North, and has always done a good job of keeping it secret.
However, I don’t know if it is because they were formerly a pirate organization, but their upper-level governance structure is not a secret to some large forces with a relatively long history and their own intelligence agencies.
Before Levi came, he had already obtained upper-level information on the Lord of the West Tower and the entire Arcane Brotherhood from Kelben.
The Arcane Brotherhood is an organization of evil magicians operating more or less openly in Luskan. Although Luskan is ostensibly led by five supreme commanders, all of whom were formerly pirate leaders who roamed the Moonsea, in fact the Arcane Brotherhood is an organization of evil magicians operating in Luskan.
The Magic Brotherhood is the real ruling force behind this city, and it is also the reason why this city has always maintained an aggressive attitude towards almost all countries and forces in the Northern Sword Coast.
Although the Arcane Brotherhood now tries to avoid conflicts with large forces such as Drawwater and Amn, they still actively invade smaller cities and weaker merchants who cannot defend themselves.
In addition to legitimate trade, the archmages who rule the Arcane Brotherhood are also involved in almost any evil deeds, including merchant ship robberies, slave trading, addictive potion trading, and arms smuggling. The reason why the Arcane Brotherhood conducts
These trade not just for substantial income, but also as a means to achieve their own goals:
Build an empire of trade and politics in the North!
Originally, for members of such aggressive evil forces, recruiting them for peace was not a good option. It would be easier to kill them directly.
After all, it's just an ordinary guy. If you catch him and eat for free, you have to prevent him from rebelling at all times. It's really useless.
But there is something special about this so-called Lord of the Sita, Braska.
Unlike others, this guy is actually a native of Jishui City, and was once a member of the Jishui City Mages Guild. He is quite talented in golem production, magic power integration and even magic power automation design.
And by chance, he got a fragment of the golem-making manual from the Nether Empire. Suddenly, he was like a bastard looking at a mung bean, and he saw the right thing! From then on, he was out of control.
As we all know, doing magic research like this is a money-burning job.
If you have no idea about this, you can refer to Blue Star's modern chips, the high-end weak current automation industry, or the contemporary artificial intelligence craze. These are almost astronomical investments with no short-term returns.
And the golem industry is recognized as a money-burning thing among the entire Corell mages. There was even a saying that "Arcana will fail three generations, and golems will ruin a life."
What should I do if I have no money?
Blaska said that it is impossible to work part-time, and you will not be able to build a golem even if you work for a lifetime.
So when the Mages Guild found out that this guy had been secretly stealing rare spellcasting materials from the organization's inventory for a long time, he was immediately expelled without any suspense and left home.
In fact, in Li Wei's opinion, the Mages Guild is still too kind.
If it were him, how dare you steal things from my warehouse? Wouldn't it be against the reputation of our dragon if we don't blow up the last drop of your ancestors and grandchildren for nine generations?!
After Blaska was kicked out of the guild by the Mages Guild, he began to have a sense of breaking things. For a while, he even participated in the [Smuggling Alliance] and [Thieves War] in the Thieves Guild in the Port District of Kaishui City.
I have looked for jobs one after another.
Basically, as long as the remuneration is appropriate, he will do any despicable job no matter how despicable it is.
Customizing magic artifacts for people and acting as caster bodyguards on smuggling ships are routine operations.
It is even said that he took over the private work of a certain noblewoman to avenge her 'betrayal' lover - he made a 'miniature guillotine' hidden in the private parts, implanted it into a female slave, and then clicked the lover.
Understand.
From then on, Blaska became famous and was nicknamed "the totally immoral spellcaster".
However, this move quickly aroused the open hostility of the entire aristocratic male in Jishui City, and was on the blacklist of many forces in Jishui City - after all, no one wants to be the next unlucky guy to be kicked, right?
This guy could hardly survive in Jishui City for a while.
Perhaps this is exactly what Lan Xing said: "Blessings are where disasters lie, and misfortunes are where blessings lie."
The mercenary mage eventually came to the attention of the Arcane Brotherhood, and a group of smugglers from Drinkwater to Neverwinter hired Braska to protect their ship, which was attacked by raiders from Luskan.
But he was repulsed.
When the ship docked at the docks of Neverwinter, the Brotherhood's spies in Neverwinter immediately investigated the details of the ship's guardian. Soon, the Brotherhood's agent contacted Blaska and invited him to join the Brotherhood.
meeting.
Blaska originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, I can hardly survive in Jishui City, and there seems to be no reason to refuse.
Moreover, he defeated the opponent's pirate ship. Not only did the opponent not hold grudges, but he also specially invited him to join. What a wise master!
So I slapped my thigh and happily boarded this pirate ship
He has been there for six years, and after successfully passing the examination of the Brotherhood, he was appreciated by the president, Akram, and the position of Lord of the West Tower of the Tower of the End was given to him.
Blasca was not surprised by his new title and status. He had long suspected that his predecessor would eventually lose control of the area he was responsible for, and had paved the way for his downfall and his own rise.
Even using his expertise in creating magical objects to make himself an indispensable member of the Brotherhood, his appointment by the Grand Arcanist Arkham also convinced him that the battle against the Silver Federation would require a considerable number of people.
Magical devices and even golems.
And this task will inevitably fall on his shoulders.
Anyone who meets Blaska for the first time would never guess that he is one of the leaders of one of the most ruthless and mysterious organizations in Corel.
His appearance is very difficult to attract the attention of others. His height and build are average, and his clothes are nondescript. When he was still working as a hired spellcaster in Kaishui City, he knew that maintaining a certain popularity could make potential enemies underestimate him.
I don't even notice myself at all.
This characteristic of his and his talent as a spy also paved the way for him to return to Jishui City.
Facts have proved that even the Arcane Brotherhood, which started out as pirates and robbers, cannot bear the thought of such a money-burning big spender sitting in the organization and eating nothing.
So the president summoned him again and said that people with unique talents like Blaska should not continue to waste their talents in the fraternity.
Then this guy was 'promoted' back to Kishui City again, and under the 'arrangement' of the Arcane Brotherhood, he became a leader of the [Infiltrator Guild], and was nominally the leader of the Arcane Brotherhood in Kishui City.
The top person in charge is roughly similar to the regional manager of a certain group of Blue Star.
From then on, the Arcane Brotherhood was responsible for providing him with all aspects of convenience and support, and he was only responsible for setting up shop in the [Infiltrator Guild], collecting money, training magic apprentices in making magical objects and golems, and using the money to
The apprentice just needs to continue to produce magical items for the Brotherhood on a regular basis.
If he gets rich in the future, he might be allowed to start mass-producing golems.
That way he can create all kinds of golems that he is obsessed with.
Even if you can't afford the legendary King Kong Golem and Platinum Golem, you can still make a clay golem and a steel golem!
Originally, according to the established historical trend, if Levi, a time traveler, had not intervened like this, and based on Arkham's established future development policy, technical talents like Blaska would definitely be able to make a big impact one day in the future.
Brilliant.
It's a pity that it now falls into Levi's hands, sitting on his toilet like a bereaved dog with his spine broken, trying to maintain his remaining dignity as a spellcaster:
"I still want to go back to the Brotherhood, if you don't let me go"
"oh?"
Levi suddenly showed a joking expression that was half-smiling, and his slightly opened mouth was full of shark-like staggered and jagged teeth. Under the dim light, it exuded a permeating and dangerous luster:
"What will happen if I don't let you go?"
Oh my god! Just like the unkillable barbarian, this guy is also a monster in human skin! And it seems to be much more terrifying!
What the hell is this place!
Blaska was panicking. Her spine, which had been broken by Droru for a long time, could not stand up straight. She lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile:
"It is really an honor for me, Blaska, that Your Majesty Levi can value my humble skills! But after all, I am the Lord of the West Tower of the Arcane Brotherhood. Now that I have suddenly disappeared, they are likely to be looking for me throughout the North."
If it is discovered that I suddenly joined Lord Levi's command, I am afraid that the Arcane Brotherhood will target you and your territory at all costs. If you have a conflict because of me, then I, Blaska
The sins he has committed are huge!"
"That's a problem."
Li Wei pretended to be convinced and nodded.
But before Blaska could even express her joy, she heard Levi change his subject and seemed to mean something:
"But as long as you don't let them know you're here, that'll be fine."
"But"
Blaska was about to say whether you wanted to recruit me or not, how could I not be known by the Arcane Brotherhood? Then I thought about it, damn! This guy actually wants to lock me up in this dark place forever and then work for him?
Are you a devil!!!
No! If this is really the case, Blaska will starve to death here and be suffocated by the toilet he sat on! He will never surrender to the enemy!
As a result, Levi waved his hand, and there was a loud "pang" sound. The huge vibration even made Braska on the toilet bounce up.
"Oh Mystra, the goddess of magic! What did I see!!! One by one"
Before the protest in Blaska's mouth could be heard, it was replaced by an unprecedented moan of exclamation.
That's one
The pinnacle of Netherese Golems!
Gold, steel, stone, demon, statue!
That one was picked up from the Nether magic ship. It was able to compete with the Shadow Queen and the Corrupt Lady in the decisive battle. In the end, the legendary female dwarf Adohed used the restraint of the legendary weapon [Earth Thunder Sound] to blow away one.
A diamond golem with arms.
It's a pity that the magic subjects involved in this thing are too complicated. In addition, there is really no magician in the mage group including Iger who is good at this, so this golem has been left there for eight years to study.
, can’t even crack and modify its authority control center.
