The bandit's meeting fell into a heated argument right from the start. They didn't even discuss the first two topics, and instead started arguing on the third.
"I absolutely refuse to accept those people from Lothamar Castle!"
A thief walked to the center of the basement and slammed the table in front of him. "His Majesty Klein has already ordered that place to be sealed off. No one knows what's going on over there. If something goes wrong in the future, who's going to take the responsibility? You? Minister Daxas? "
The man in the shadows was Daxas, the minister of the Thieves Guild's branch in Alcârrea. He remained silent for a long time in the face of the bandit's question.
"If you're not willing to take responsibility, why should we take the risk to accept them?" the bandit asked in a low voice.
"This is a rule set when the guild was first established. We can't abandon them …"
Another bandit stood up and said coldly, "But the problem now isn't that we're abandoning them! It's that we don't even know if they're harmless! "
"That's right! If they're already infected, we'll be infected if we accept them! "
Another bandit said tactfully, "You don't have to worry about that. Perhaps they've already escaped before the outbreak. Perhaps we can bring them to the Radiant Church for a check-up?"
"You're an idiot! We're believers of the God of Shadows! Go to the Radiant Church and receive blessings? "
"That's absolutely necessary!"
A bandit with a more intense personality stood up and said, "The Dagger Peninsula incident is a good example!"
"That was an accident. Alright, I understand your worries. In fact, I'm worried too!"
Daxas finally spoke his mind in the face of the heated argument. "Before the presence of Chaos completely erupts, we don't know who will be the next unlucky one! Those corrupted believers of Chaos probably had the same idea before they fell. "
"Since you think so too, Minister Daxas, I don't think we should accept them!" the Thief who had objected at the start said in a deep voice.
"… Seconded."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
Upon hearing this, Tang En came to a sudden realization that they were actually discussing the believers of Chaos!
He couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seemed that Lothamar Castle was also threatened by the believers of Chaos. If he started from there, he would definitely be able to find clues about the Chaos religion.
"… If that's the case, let's put it to a vote. Raise your hand if you refuse to accept any guild members from Lothamar Castle."
After counting the votes, Daxas sighed and said, "9 votes in favor, 4 votes out, and 4 votes out. I give up. It seems that there's no need to continue voting. Since that's the case, I'll pass on our opinion to headquarters tomorrow. As for the punishment, I'll bear it."
"No, I don't think you need to refuse to accept them."
"The voting results are out. Who is it!?"
Daxas subconsciously said this before he suddenly realized that this was an unfamiliar voice!
Damn it!
The branch had been exposed!
Suddenly, the sound of swords being unsheathed rang out in the basement. At the same time, the torches on the wall were extinguished, and the eighteen bandits disappeared into the shadows.
Under the protection of the God of Shadows, they felt safe. Even if they wanted to escape, it would be more advantageous.
Suddenly, there was a muffled groan in the darkness. Following that, a bandit said in horror, "Damn it! The exit has been sealed! "
What!?
Daxas was shocked. He instantly turned into a puff of smoke and rushed towards the exit. Then, he hit an invisible wall of magic and bounced back!
He had met an expert!
After several attempts, Daxas gave up. He stood in the middle of the basement and shouted, "Who's joking with us, sir? Why don't you show yourself? "
"Hehe, a bandit hiding in the shadows actually wants someone to show themselves. This is a new feeling."
Damn it!
Daxas was deeply insulted. If not for the huge difference in strength, he wouldn't have come face to face with you!
Whoosh!
The basement suddenly became as bright as day. Tang En leisurely sat opposite Daxas and smiled at him. "Hello, Sir Daxas. Please take a seat."
Daxas lowered his head and saw that a chair had appeared in front of him.
An expert!
He was definitely a top expert!
As the head of the Thieves Guild's branch in Alcretia, Daxas wasn't weak himself. He was at the peak of the Gold level, which was something to be proud of in Prandal. However, he didn't even know when this person had appeared in front of him.
He even had the ability to move out two stools and place them in the middle of the basement without anyone noticing!
The difference in strength was at least one level!
Daxas had no choice but to sit down. "Who are you? How did you find this place? What do you want? "
Daxas directly asked the three most important questions.
He was clearly terrified.
"Don't worry. I don't mean any harm."
Twain smiled, and a few fireballs flickered in his palm before disappearing. "If I wanted to kill someone, I would have already died before you could even sense it."
Hiss — Instant spell?!
Daxas was shocked again, but Tang En's words at least made him feel a little more at ease. If he didn't mean any harm, then he had a favor to ask of them. As long as he had a favor to ask of them, it was fine.
"As for how I found this place … Of course, I followed your people here."
Tang En shrugged. "If I want to follow someone, no one can discover me, so don't think about punishing them."
Daxas laughed dryly. "You must be joking. We're still very united …"
"Of course, all thieves in the world are one family."
Tang En's smile was very sarcastic. However, Daxas and the others made a living by doing this, and their skin was already invincible. Of course, they didn't care about Tang En's mockery.
"As for my purpose …"
Tang En pointed at Daxas and said, "I want you."
Daxas turned pale with fright and stood up in humiliation. "If you must, sir."
At this moment, Daxas's heart was about to break down. He knew that some people liked this kind of thing, but he didn't expect that such a powerful expert would come here to ask them to bend over and offer their chrysanthemums.
Daxas turned around and bent down. He held the chair with one hand and was about to take off his pants with the other.
"It's my first time, please be gentler. Although I haven't cleaned it before, I don't think you'll mind …"
Looking at the head of the branch who was willing to sacrifice himself to save others, the other thieves were in tears.
Head of the branch, we will always remember your sacrifice in our hearts!
We definitely won't let you sacrifice your virginity for nothing!
"I want you to help me — F * ck!"
Tang En was just speaking when he saw Daxas start to unbuckle his belt. With tears of humiliation on his face, Tang En immediately went crazy. F * ck, why are these people's thoughts so dirty!
The furious Tang En jumped up and kicked Daxas to the ground.
"Sir!"
This time, even Daxas was angry. "You can insult my body, but you definitely can't insult my soul! I'm a thief with dignity! I can sell my body, but I definitely won't sell my soul to play that kind of sadistic game with you! "
"Play your ass!"
Tang En was furious. "Can't you listen to what I have to say?! F * ck, I don't like men! "
Daxas froze and hurriedly pulled up his pants. He heaved a long sigh of relief and cursed inwardly. F * ck you! Speak clearly, don't let people misunderstand you so easily, okay?! — Fine, you're the strongest, you're the best! I'll endure it!
"And you guys! Get over here! "
Tang En waved his hand, and the thieves around him were all pulled to the center of the basement and lined up neatly in a square formation.
"I heard you talking about Lothamar Castle just now. Can anyone tell me in detail what happened there?"
Daxas finally realized what was going on and looked at Tang En strangely. "Sir, you want to buy information?"
Tang En waved his finger. "No, you said one more word."
Fine, from the looks of it, he didn't want to buy …
Daxas felt bitter. F * ck you, you can just look for the peripheral members if you want information!
Who would dare to reject you if you showed your strength?!
Was there a need to barge in here?!
Was there a need to threaten us?!
But now, Daxas had no choice but to submit to Tang En's tyranny with tears in his eyes.
"It's like this, Lothamar Castle —"
"Tell me where Lothamar Castle is first."
"… It's northeast of Alcârdia, east of the White Fog Plains, separated by the Coldspring River."
Tang En nodded. "Continue."
"Lothamar Castle is basically a dead city now."
Daxas sorted out his words and slowly said, "Five years ago, someone discovered traces of Chaos worshippers in Lothamar Castle, but there was no evidence of them at that time, so the news wasn't taken seriously."
"The Chaos aura carried by the Chaos worshippers spread for a period of time, and finally infected the entire Lothamar Castle half a year ago. When the kingdom discovered the abnormality and tried to seal Lothamar Castle, it was already too late. The residents there had completely turned into crazy Chaos worshippers."
"His Majesty Klein sent his army to seal Lothamar Castle and set up a blockade to prevent anyone from entering or leaving."
"The Chaos worshippers in Lothamar Castle couldn't continue south, and they seemed to have gone north along the coast, which led to the fall of the Dagger Peninsula. I heard that some of them went west, but no one knows where they went."
"I know, they went to the Ryan Empire," Tang En said calmly.
