Although Middles was secretly shocked by the big move of the black-helmeted guards, the expression on his face did not change much.
In recent years, neither he nor those who have been online seem to have made any big moves in Baldur's Gate, so this should not be directed at him.
With a slightly surprised look on his face, Middles looked over and saw a figure also appeared in front of the hotel door.
This is a man of similar height to a dwarf and a halfling.
However, even though he was wearing a loose robe that covered his entire body, it could still be seen that compared to the dwarf's honesty, he looked obviously thin, and compared to the halfling's agility, he looked cunning.
Then there is the goat-like beard on the chin...
It is Southam, the owner of the Stone Castle Hotel. It is said that he works as a dwarf shadow mage, a powerful spellcaster profession. Even in a big city like Baldur's Gate, he is a big shot with a great name.
However, he is definitely different from other big shots.
This dwarf shadow mage never cares about the respect of "master" or not. Compared with respect, gold coins are more real. He prefers to be called "boss".
With a background from the Dragon Cult, and later a background from the Red Kingdom, Middles' industrial scale is still acceptable. He walks here from time to time and talks with gold coins. He still has a certain relationship with this dwarf shadow mage.
Can be dealt with.
At this time, I consulted and looked over...
"Not only the Black Helmets, but also the Thieves Guild and Flame Fist are already moving!"
Southam held his goat's beard with one hand, a "gold coin" color flashed in his eyes, and with the other hand... he drew a number casually, as if subconsciously.
His information is naturally very well-informed.
And as long as the price is right...
"The Thieves Guild and Flame Fist also dispatched at the same time?"
The look of surprise on Middles' face became even more obvious.
Baldur's Gate is open and inclusive.
The main Thieves Guild here is a completely different organization from Amn's Shadow Thieves Guild.
The Thieves Guild, led by the "power seeker" Ravenskan, and the four archdukes of Baldur's Gate have always maintained a cooperative relationship based on mutual respect.
As for the Flame Fist Mercenary Group, it goes without saying.
To a certain extent, this mercenary legion is directly supported by the official power of Baldur's Gate. It is not unreasonable to say that they are a second legion independent of the Black Helmets.
And because, at least in name, it does not belong to the formal army of Baldur's Gate, the various actions of the Flame Fist Mercenary Group outside do not need to consider various political factors.
For example, assisting the merchants of Baldur's Gate to develop the Boltan Jungle.
Another example is to assist the development of trade. They even gave priority to the United Company and built a fortress in the New World.
The Black Helmets were first, and the two most influential forces participated at the same time...
Surprised in his heart, Middles did not doubt the credibility of the dwarf shadow mage in this regard. The black-helmeted army over there had quickly moved over to investigate. His hands were in his waist pockets, and his sleeves were covered with robes.
, and completed the handover with the smiling Southam.
"Three messages."
"Instructions from Duke Eltan himself."
"It seems that they have noticed the mastermind behind the two previous attacks."
"The investigation will start from the upper city area to the lower city area, and the sewers will also be cleaned. Moreover, the black helmet army has completed the siege of the two major urban areas."
After receiving the gold coins, the dwarf shadow mage's credibility was immediately reflected.
It really has nothing to do with them!
The surprise in Middles's heart has completely settled, but the surprise on his face is still obvious: "How dare you come again? This is really treating our Baldur's Gate as a tavern where you can come and go as you please.
Come on, can you eat whatever you want?"
"My target is the Duke!"
"Who dares to target the Duke...who would be simple?"
The dwarf shadow mage laughed strangely, and raised his gaze to look at Middles. In his eyes, besides being naturally cunning, there was also a hint of something pointing.
This means...
Middles felt a slight wave in his heart, but his face seemed to be unconscious.
Now that he knew it had nothing to do with him, he stopped staying here. He paid a brief greeting to the dwarf shadow mage, but then headed towards the direction where the Black Helmets were investigating.
With his formal and legal status, the Black Helmet Army did not embarrass him and quickly walked to the end of the street.
And behind...
"Those guys are suspected to be from Amn."
"Which side are you on?"
"Those people..."
Watching his figure disappear quickly, Southam had a strange look in his eyes.
But there was no time to guess too much.
Although the Black Helmet Army has the Grand Duke's order to investigate the entire city, what they sell for this stone fortress is "reputation"!
There is no explanation, but he will not let customers be disturbed easily!
It's in this thought.
After a group of guards came, a slender figure fell into his eyes.
"What the hell!"
"Why are you such a shameless guy again!"
There was a sharp scream, and there was an obvious look of disgust in the dwarf's eyes, which originally had "golden light" flashing.
…
After more than an hour.
After the most docile maid knocked on the door, another member of the Flame Fist organization, also a female, presented the "discount card" for daily business, and took the opportunity to observe each hotel customer.
"..."
“That’s interesting!”
"We arrived in Willen, and there was a big explosion in Willen, and little Hiss was blown up."
"When we arrived in Bode, the Grand Duke of Bode also jumped out. The whole city was on guard."
"I wonder what welcome ceremony Waterdeep City will prepare for us at our next stop?"
Isaac would not be unaware of the outside situation.
After easily getting some information from the hotel waiter.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Before Barrett and Beasley, there was something strange on his face.
On this trip, he really came with the intention of traveling, and he was not prepared to get into trouble with anyone.
Who knows...
It actually exploded wherever he went!
"It probably has nothing to do with us."
"After sunset, I'll go see what happened."
Barrett nodded slightly without moving.
At least he didn't feel any unusual vigilance from those who came to "visit" the hotel.
"I have contacted the person here. Tomorrow morning, he will send some information. At that time, we will see if there is any relevant news from his side."
Beasley also reported simultaneously.
Isaac pondered for a moment, looked at the old assassin, nodded slowly and said: "Just a little understanding is enough. If it is not too abnormal, there is no need to go too deep. Maybe we will visit the 'Supreme Miracle Palace' tomorrow, so we have to prepare
left."
Of course, having said that, this time, he did not ask Beasley to book the ferry ticket to Waterdeep directly.
He also had some goals in visiting the "Supreme Temple of Miracles".
Whether he should leave immediately or not depends on what kind of reply he will get from there!
"I know it!"
Barrett nodded naturally.
In a city like Baldur's Gate, he wouldn't mess around.
On his side, Heath, who had been seriously put on soft leather armor by the hotel's cooperation channel, had a slightly strange look in his eyes, flickering for a few times.
Something has come to my lips, but I don’t know how to say it.
"Xiao Heath, what did you find?"
This time he was facing forward, and Isaac no longer ignored his expression.
Although his appearance was not revealed and even Barrett didn't know about this little guy who was suspected of being the "Son of Conspiracy", he was secretly paying enough attention to him.
"I don't know what to say either."
"It's just... Anyway, after I boarded the pier, I felt stuffy, as if something was wrong."
"It's definitely not the cause of seasickness."
"Then, not long after, you all knew what happened next."
At this time, Heath finally expressed some of his previous feelings.
I heard that the martial law at Baldur's Gate is related to a certain Duke...
He once suspected that his bloodline and abilities were related to the great nobles, but he immediately had certain suspicions.
And if this conjecture really comes true...
He didn't want to be approached over there, and he was not prepared at all!
After all, he can feel something strange. If he really has similar abilities or blood, will some people also feel it?
"Feeling like something's wrong?"
Isaac's heart suddenly moved, his eyes crossed with Barrett's, and they both nodded.
One is that I feel that it is not impossible for someone with an innate ability that is almost perfectly in line with the nature of shadow to have a premonition of certain dangers.
The other one was already suspicious of the "Son of Conspiracy" plan, Isaac...
"It's just a temporary trip, and if I encounter things one after another..."
"Who has the relevant predictions in his layout, and then has the relevant designs?"
"Or...is it pulled by the thread of fate?"
Words of fate...
In the Ladies' Hall, one of the three temples of Baldur's Gate, isn't the "Goddess of Luck" enshrined in charge of the priesthood related to fate?
In an instant, many thoughts unfolded.
However, he was soon suppressed by Isaac Kudu.
Although all kinds of coincidences are a bit too coincidental, but... it shouldn't be such a far-reaching prophecy, especially when it comes to him!
After all, before the advent of the turbulent era, the great Dragon Father had always had a ray of will that possessed his spiritual space.
If there really was such prophecy and manipulation, the Great Dragon Father would not have sent out no warning at all.
So, the greatest possibility...
He looked at Heath.
The most likely possibility is that this kid is born with "luck"!
Just like the protagonists of some biographies, they will encounter a lot of things at random.
And the three of them were one of the people he encountered.
With this in mind... maybe this trip to Baldur's Gate might actually be unexpected!
And this "accident"...is it probably the same thing as this kid's inner self?
This kind of thing deserves some attention from him!
Isaac nodded slightly and said: "Since Little Heath has this premonition, you should also be a little vigilant. Maybe... it is not impossible that it has nothing to do with the people who attacked you in Wellen City."
Heath also nodded immediately, with an expression of "I have the same idea" on his face.
Although he is young, his mind has already matured due to his childhood experiences.
He looked at the teacher, then looked at Isaac, and said: "After sunset, I want to take action with the teacher. Maybe my sensing ability can be helpful to the teacher's exploration."
He already has an idea. Since there have been changes in the city, instead of waiting for others to search, he simply takes the opportunity to see if he can really find some clues to the "bloodline"!
"It's okay."
"Although the stealth level is insufficient, his 'silence' ability can actually strengthen stealth."
"If there is a 'Xingying' again, even if something unexpected happens and I don't have time to take care of it, he also has the ability to retreat on his own."
Barrett thought about it for a moment and had no objection.
After teaching this kid for a few days, he already had some idea of his ability.
With this ability, and with him by his side, there isn't much room for them to stay at Baldur's Gate.
"That's fine."
"If you want to take care of students, just pay more attention."
"It's his feeling, and maybe the same feeling over there..."
As Isaac spoke, he stretched out his hand, and there was a "secret box" in the void, and he called it over.
He took out another ring from it, cast another spell, and the "Secret Box" was sent back to the spiritual dimension.
With a thought, the ring floated towards the little guy and said: "This 'anti-detection ring' can interfere with others' detection of you to a certain extent. In this way, you can walk with your teacher so as not to delay him."
Legs. Learn from him."
There may be more than one son of conspiracy, which is worthy of his investment.
After both of them left, he closed the door first, and then asked for instructions alone: "Sir, do you want to activate all the spies here?"
After following Isaac for many years, he could feel that His Majesty had developed a certain interest in things here.
Even...for the old guy's student, too!
"Not urgent."
Isaac shook his head slightly: "Let's see what they can find first. Then let's see if the Duke has found anything. Let's continue with the previous plan, and then see if we can stay here for a while."
There seemed to be some kind of expectation in the words.
Looking forward to seeing if this kid who can "bump" into them is really an "event trigger"!
