Hill finally outlined the story of Edna's family in his mind.
Because of Kelben's withdrawal from the Harpers Alliance and the establishment of his own exclusive intelligence organization, Alustriel was wary of his former companion and sister's husband... Kelbourne's influence in Silvermoon City was actually
Much worse than before.
Edna's father, the head of Silvermoon City's big auction house, actually performed his image of a philistine and shrewd person very well... The lover he chose was a famous enchantment master and belonged to the current city lord.
faction.
Rather than saying that they have any feelings, it is better to say that they used that simple physical relationship to seal their private collusion... Edna's father used this woman to get information from the academy and the city lord, and by the way, there was also a person at any time.
The technical master who can help rebuild the auction house's defense circle, and the dean of the Enchanting School can get information from Alustriel and free high-end materials.
Although this kind of relationship is immoral, it is nothing in the world of Toril.
Hill didn't think that the ambiguity between them could be hidden from the upper echelons of Silvermoon City, but most people would actually cover it up silently. The only ones who didn't know what happened would be Edna and her
Mother.
The reason why Edna's father was really cleared out of Silvermoon City was because of his father... It was indeed the time when the relationship between the God of Mage and Mystra was most tense. As a chosen one of the goddess of magic, Alastra could not
Maybe keep him by your side.
But it is impossible to hurt him... Not to mention that his biological father is still alive, whether it is Alustriel or Kelben, their electorate status comes from Black Eyes... Especially when they had a very close relationship with their ex Mystra
The close Alustriel, even if she doesn't show it on her face, will definitely protect the son of her old friend.
That's not necessarily true for Kel... With his selfish character, even if he said he was sorry, he would not hesitate to send his master's son to die.
But he shouldn't know...not even the sleazy things that only those in the upper echelons of Silvermoon City know about.
Alustriel has blocked the source of information from Kelben for a long time. Because of this, she has not even seen her biological sister Lyra for many years.
But the Hubbell family may know... not to mention their caravans that travel to Silvermoon City all year round, and even the mounts of Alustriel's half-elf sons, all use saddles from the Hubbell family... They
The magic saddle is indeed the most famous high-end product in the North.
As a mage family that has existed since the Black Robe period, it is indeed possible for them to find clues to Edna's father's identity, not to mention the well-informed Lady of Pain...
They almost succeeded. If it hadn't been for the 10-year-old spell plague that changed Edna... The reason why Neverwinter was blown to pieces is probably because when they completed the last ritual, the demon lord
Crazy resistance.
Hill asked softly: "Liszt, the young mage of Chang'an Town, is it rare that there are mages from the good camp? I remember Linn said last time that most of Marko's apprentices are from Deepwater City, and his own family
On the contrary, there are very few.”
"Among the mages above level 12 in the Hubbell family, there are more necromancers and scroll mages." Liszt flipped through his notepad, "Mr. Linn said that the current patriarch once colluded with Zhentarim, and he is now in cahoots with Sai His relationship with you is also good. He once suspected that he was a follower of Bane, but when the camp detected him, he was still neutral."
Hill was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing: "When the agreement was reached that day, did Linn ask the undead to activate the camp detection array on the highway?"
"Yes, the undead moved very fast. So when they left, the entire carriage was filled with yellow light. Chief Hubbell even protested about this...Mr. Linn felt that there was no need for them to make a fuss.
But now it is understandable why he was so nervous. If there is something wrong with him and the people around him, wouldn't it be exposed?" Liszt said solemnly, "The undead camp detection array is based on His Majesty William. It is based on his own judgment, which is relatively fair in theory. I don’t understand why he, the patriarch of the Hubbell family, is still neutral when the Hubbell family does such terrible things.”
"He doesn't need to do the murder. And with the level of the leader of the Hubbell clan, he is at most a puppet created by the Hubbell Presbyterian Church." Hill said nonchalantly, "But he must know something. But he knows others. When committing a crime but not participating in it, it is just a moral issue in any world."
The judgment of the camp is never based on moral deficiencies... Toril's good camp has caused a lot of bad things.
Liszt nodded suddenly: "I understand.
Sir, Mr. Linn's intelligence source will not pay attention to low-level mages, let alone mage apprentices. This requires looking for more detailed information... I guess you have to find the Harper."
Hill was silent for a few seconds before saying: "Sometimes, I don't know what to choose... Let Lynn buy the information... As for whether they will respond to the problems of the Hubbell family, it depends on them. Already."
"Why don't you ask me?" Selune suddenly asked, "The Church of Silvermoon is the best informed on gossip in the entire Sword Coast! Especially this kind of information that does not need to be kept secret, no one can hide it from the laundress. Eyes! The Harper also bought news from them."
Although Selune only talked about laundress...but in fact, many low-level women in Faerun who go out to work are jobs introduced by the Silver Moon Church. In fact, the Silver Moon Church provides a job for these women who are struggling to survive. guarantee.
Gu Xi
Although no one would leave private work to them, but for some peripheral chores, these female workers who have been trained by the Silver Moon Church are still quite cheap.
And as Selune said, the mages of the Hubbell family, especially the lower-level ones, cannot afford to keep any maids at all, so they can only leave their daily chores to these female workers who receive chores.
Hill thought for a while and said solemnly: "It's one thing for these female workers to choose to sell information to the Harpers, but it's another thing for the Silver Moon Church who works for them to take the initiative to inquire about these employers.
Selune, please don’t interfere in this kind of thing... I think your Archbishop Nanezet Sariel in Waterdeep City has done a very good job."
The Silver Moon Church is able to achieve what it is now, thanks to these smart and capable believers... No matter how lustful they are for power, Selune's believers are extremely patient people. Hill can now understand how they raised such a
Be patient... When you work hard, you have to avoid being held back by your own boss.
Selune said "Oh" blankly, and then said after a while: "I did something wrong again!
It's okay, even if you don't remind me, my archbishops will pray all night hoping that I will change my mind.
I am much better than Lansendre, and I will never ask them to do something they cannot do."
Hill shook his head helplessly and turned to look at Liszt: "Just tell Lin about this matter and leave all communication with the Harper to him."
Liszt, who left in response, soon came back, with a strange look on his face and said: "Mr. Linn said he would handle this matter... but he asked me to ask if Bailong could be released temporarily from the mountain.
"
"Are there so many goblins?" Hill quickly understood Linn's intention, "Have the drow already been cleaned up?"
"After the group of drow attacked for several rounds and lost at least two-thirds of the family members, they hid behind the Heart Lake and refused to approach the city wall again...Obviously, as long as you don't plan to send people to rescue Shen Shui
city, they won't rush up again.
But the goblins all over the mountains and plains are a bit troublesome. They are gnawing at our food leaves and pulling out a lot of them... The elf city guards' group attack skills are relatively lacking.
You know those mages in the academy...the most they can do now is lie on the city wall and cast some low-level spells. They don't have the guts to use high-level spells yet."
Liszt glanced at Hill hesitantly: "Mr. Linn doesn't want you and Mr. Fran to take action... Those are goblins! No matter how many there are, they are still goblins..."
Before Hill could reply, Selune let out a hearty laugh: "Hahahahaha~burp~hahahahaha!"
The little goblins who had been squatting on the big tree were frightened by this unscrupulous goddess. They flew around the big tree and then plunged into the blooming flowers of the windmill jasmine that was basking in the moon on the other side of the garden.
inside.
Hill sighed. Linn's concerns were justified... He couldn't change from a dragon-slaying mage to a goblin killer in an instant. Even if he killed more, he would only become Toril's joke.
In order to restrain him, Rose came up with a pretty good idea... If the city of Aglaia was to be dealt with, then there would be nothing to say about Hill becoming a goblin killer... But for the city of Deepwater, which has not been dealt with, it seems that it is indeed
not worth it.
Moreover, if Hill takes action, the food just planted outside the city will probably be completely destroyed... The damage caused by Fran will only be greater than him.
Besides, Hill couldn't let his grandfather wear the reputation he didn't want!
But Lin En's idea is the best way now, and it can also change the taste of Bailong's midnight snack.
Hill slowly closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the dark green bracelet on his left hand a few times: "I have already made an agreement with Killing Vine that Linn can go to the entrance to pick up the dragon...except for him, Bailong will not obey other people's orders, so he can only work harder on his own."
This was agreed with White Dragon from the beginning, and the killing vines on their claws would not listen to others. This magic plant with the highest level around Hill has a rather arrogant personality. He can only be friends with whom Hill agrees. Deal with it.
Not long after Liszt left, Bailong's excited howl reached Hill's ears... It seemed that they really wanted to taste the goblin.
