Chapter 275 Nightmare Brotherhood (Two in One)

Due to the notorious reputation of the Stinky Fish Bar, there are not many residents around it. Tonight, after a group of throat cutters with red ribbons on their arms came near the alley, those residents and the store were completely shut down.

As everyone knows, the Brotherhood is here to do business tonight.

At the end of the alley, Aji and a few friends were chatting. On the street connected to the alley, the passers-by, whether they were mercenaries, gangsters, or nobles with knights, all turned around and turned back, far away. Bypassed here. And the guards who would normally walk around the street on a regular basis seemed to have taken a break early today.

The alley was exceptionally quiet, with crickets and Zen chirping in the summer night. The steaming water vapor from Bishui City made people drowsy. George wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, stood at the door of the tavern, and turned the book in his hand attentively. Book of Dawn.

"I can use the spells that the old man copied in the book." A little spider lay on George's collar and whispered: "You just need to give me reading permission for these pages of spells." That’s it.”

"Very good." George nodded, scratched in the book, and started reading while waiting for Roosegaarde to come out.

What surprised him was that the re-inclusion of Siljak actually consumed some of the power of hope. The cost of suppression has also been reduced by a full two-thirds. However, the light of dawn did not lower her evaluation.

There have been some changes in the graphics of Siljak in the Book of Dawn. The geometric patterns are much smaller than before, but they are much more complex. And there is one more note - young students.

Among them, there are several explanations in the Book of Dawn, which George noticed:

【Native--This is a demon born in Paradise Lost. She will have an even greater advantage against the other demons in Paradise Lost. It's much harder to break free from the shackles than a normal demon, and you have more control over her now. In addition, any subsequent actions of the demon will be recorded in the Book of Dawn, and you will also be able to see her sight distance, or have the Book of Dawn play back her 'real memory'. 】

[Surrender - With many times of resistance and suppression, in the heart of this devil, you have gradually become a symbol that she cannot resist, and many spiritual magics will be completely ineffective against you. And maybe one day in the future, the light of dawn will only need to put your breath into the Lost Paradise, and this demon will lose any thoughts of resistance. In order to please her master, she will work harder to deal with her kind. 】

‘Oh, isn’t it just ‘Stockholm Syndrome’?” He continued to look down.

Siljak seems to have several new abilities, the most interesting of which is this:

[Weaving Dreams - Your seven-color magic spider can contact other people's dreams and weave dreams.

1. By contacting dreams, she can possess other people's bodies or peer into other people's spiritual vision.

2. By weaving dreams, she can make people fall into the maze of dreams she weaves. Not only can the controlled person no longer control his body, he can no longer control his mind.

3. The seven-color magic spider can easily cause hallucinations. As her power grows, this illusion will likely affect the real world and silently reflect the things in dreams into reality (with her current ability, she can only reflect the dream maze. But then... As she becomes more and more powerful, she may be able to pull some of the real things in the world through her network that connects everywhere.)

[Explanation: You can personally influence the dreams of others by controlling her (this ability is ineffective for those with strong wills, and the minds of determined people are difficult to change). 】

‘If I control her, will I be able to reflect the Kingdom of Heaven? George touched his chin: "I didn't know that with this ability, I could very well create a new magic through the research of Forbidden Academy." If the Dawn Singer learns it, I wonder if he can summon the Archangel’

The last one is the explanation given by Dawnlight to Siljak:

[Rebirth and Infancy - Although the Light of Dawn does not recommend that you cultivate demons, using darkness to deal with darkness is indeed more effective in some situations. Because this demon was originally born in this world, it was reborn in the light of dawn. This allowed her to become more connected to the world.

Taking this step means that the destruction of this world will have an irreversible impact on her. But at the same time, she, who is more closely connected with this world, will have more room to grow than the alien species that invaded this place, and will be more easily affected and controlled by the light of dawn. 】

[She is very hungry, you need to spend some money. She is not picky about food and is rich in energy. You should find a lot of good stuff in this old town. 】

[Tip: By devouring demons, Silyak will have more opportunities to evolve. 】

‘It seems that I have to add some feed to my consumption list. ’ Thinking of this, George had a headache.

Because I plan to come to Bishui City to spend these two days, the accounts have already been settled.

The harvest from Hongzhuang and the rewards due to the Qing Dynasty suppression totaled more than 60,000 silver foxes. Excluding the approximately 6,000 silver foxes that need to be rewarded to the Judgment Knights and Soldiers, there are still more than 50,000 silver foxes left.

This money is enough to build a castle.

But if it is used in the bottomless pit of the army, haha.

The reward can be settled at any time through the finance ministers or even directly with Fernando. Tanya mentioned this to the ministers at the banquet. With her reputation, these ministers in charge of finance will be happy even if they have to work overtime tonight.

As for the goods, Tanya had already negotiated with many nobles at the banquet in the evening. Because things have been lost recently, George mentioned that he should ship them earlier, so he doesn't need to worry about this matter. Tanya will arrange it in the next two days. And a batch of goods has been transported to the port area overnight.

In the plan, most of these 60,000 silver foxes will be used to meet military needs - in the hands of the duke's quartermaster who specifically connects with the lords, there are even many refined gold and alchemical equipment.

The equipment on the Black Lake soldiers can be regarded as excellent, but this is only at the level of the private soldiers of the great nobles. After all, the raw materials are the armor of the noble knights of the valley. In order to make more, a lot of chain mail was dismantled and replaced. This is still a bit different from the equipment of the regular elite "knight troops" built with the efforts of the whole country.

For example, His Majesty Philips's Red Dragon Knights, Red Dragon Guards, Archduke's Iron Wall Knights, Elda's Royal Corps, Griffin Knights, Thornbirds, etc.

If he could let the Black Lake soldiers change to a set of equipment better than the Storm Set, George would definitely be willing.

According to the market price, the armor of the Black Lake soldiers is about 600 silver foxes (excluding the Rune Word Gem). It is five times more expensive than the armament of the Yudlan troops. It can be said that it is better than the equipment of many noble knights (excluding war horses and other equipment).

But if you change to equipment made of alchemical metals such as "Storm", after selling this set of armor, you will have to make up about 1,000 silver foxes.

60,000 silver foxes sounds like an astronomical figure. But it is only enough to equip some sergeants-more than 60 people.

However, I still have some land in Delong County, which can be added together to upgrade the equipment of 100 lieutenants.

So the money in my hand is really tight, and there is not much that can be moved. It is best to use it on potion materials. The main thing used to buy feed was the personal property that Aji kept for him - about 3,000 silver foxes.

In addition, there were some "treasures" in Rosgerd's pocket, some of which were collected in Hongzhuang, and some of which were the old man's own inventory, and I don't know how much they are worth.

"Since you are here, let's take a look around here for a while. I heard that there will be an auction tonight." George scratched his chin. He remembered that Fernando seemed to have mentioned it to him. In addition, the university scholars seemed to be very enthusiastic about this auction - George and his team brought back a lot of things from Hongzhuang this time, many of which can be used for alchemy and potions. Among them, those strange and weird things that are difficult to estimate have flowed from the hands of the soldiers (personal spoils) to the old city. This has affected the auction house to some extent.

George didn't know what was in it, but with the current magic environment in this world, some special magic items often appear.

And many things on monsters may not be recognized by the lords, but they are also very valuable to wizards. Maybe the soldiers picked up a loophole and threw them to the auction house. It's hard to say what treasures are in it.

If I come across something good, I will definitely buy it. Although I only have about 3,000 silver foxes in my pocket, Rosgerd should have quite a few in his pocket.

If this guy knows what's good for him, he should know what to do.

And Rosgerd has always been a sensible guy.

At this time, Rosgerd walked out of the tavern happily, and after locking the door, he smiled at George.

"Let's go, sir, I specially left some special "gifts" here. The rotten skins have a wide network of contacts, and they will know who to bring this gift to. I hope that when we come to the door, my friends will be mentally prepared. Hehehehe"

["Master, he left a vicious curse here"]

George nodded and patted his collar, and then the little spider merged into his body, leaving a spider tattoo. The tattoo roamed deep into his clothes and stopped moving.

Feeling this "possession", George's face became slightly weird. It seemed to be a little different from what Dawn had told him.

He suddenly remembered what Rosgerd had said to him - Wolpe had been used as a prison to seal the demon.

[Dawn's satisfaction with you -1]

'Is it that serious? Dawn, I just don't want Hiljak to emit his own scent while working - I always think that 'Aloysius' should do this. '

These words worked, and George's notes suddenly increased.

[You have discovered a new Lost Paradise]

[Lost Paradise (hidden): (a blurred font). Even if there are more reasons, Dawn doesn't want to reveal too much information to you, a bold guy! ]

[Note: In some cases, many heroes will use their bodies as a prison to seal demons. But this situation is often forced]

[--You, a guy without any sense of awe, finally tried to let the demon possess you. The Lost Paradise in your book, the Lost Paradise Shelter, is about to be completed. Dawn doesn't want you to have such close contact with the demon. 】

‘I just think that if there is someone in this world who can accommodate ‘Aloysius’, then I will definitely not be worse than him. Dawn Light, can you stop being so defensive against me? If you want to prevent me from changing jobs, just pay me more! ’

When the two walked out of the street, Rosgerd waved his hand, and then the veil covering the alley was lifted.

The whole alley was bright again, and several neatly dressed people suddenly appeared on both sides of the street. It seemed that they were walking around just now, causing those who originally planned to take this road or pass by here to stay away.

Indeed, when they tied a red ribbon on their arms, not only did no one approach, but even several shops that originally welcomed customers in the alley and several residents turned off the lights.

Vulture.

For the rotten skins, these people are more difficult to mess with and more cruel than those mercenaries.

Even crows dare not mess with them.

Especially, it seems that all the people who came here today are cut-throat gangsters

In this dark world, if the gangs are a group of rotten skins who serve as lackeys for the nobles, then the crows are a group of people who do all kinds of evil, have nobles to rely on, and are even supported by the great nobles. The guys who can hang around in these alleys that never need to close the door are all at this level, and can be said to be local snakes.

The third type of people are more terrifying. They are called vultures, and even those small nobles will become prey to these people. Often many great nobles have cooperation with them.

This is the group of people who came here today.

So when these people appeared in this block, the neighborhood was completely quiet.

The eyes of those cut-throat gangsters told everyone that they were going to do business here tonight.

Among these people, there was a big man who was completely covered in leather armor and wearing a tight outer robe. This dress is actually very common in the mixed-population Bishui City. Outsiders will think they are mercenaries, and insiders will find that these mercenaries can do more special things after a few words.

However, there are some more obvious marks on this person - his whole body was burned by the fire. There are also many burns on his face. The surrounding slit throats seem to respect him very much.

His name is 'Pierrick'. On the surface, he is a leader of a certain vulture, but this vulture is actually the 'Nightmare Brotherhood', a top assassin and killer organization, under the branch of the Blue Water City, or a vassal group.

Usually they mainly show themselves as vultures or mercenaries. They are specially used to connect the business of those great nobles.

And the formal members of the brotherhood are hidden among them.

These formal members dare to do anything and specialize in treating various difficult and complicated diseases.

According to Aji, some time ago, after hearing that there was a scavenger king on the big farm, the task of becoming a formal member of the Nightmare Brotherhood was to steal a treasure from Hongzhuang.

Many situations and news about the internal situation of Hongzhuang later came out of this brotherhood. Therefore, the lords' team can know where the disaster area is and where the king of scavengers is suspected to exist.

So, let's not talk about combat effectiveness. In assassination and exploration, every official member of this organization is a top cutthroat.

Tonight, after Aji paid his respects to him, he heard that his brother had something to do, so he brought people here. Otherwise, George would have to spend a lot of time to find this place with the few words in the book.

Aji also "grew taller" a few inches today. If you look closely, you will think of the groom "Frank".

The cutthroats are a group of sharp-eyed and sharp-eared guys. The moment the two black-robed men appeared on the street, they found them.

For today's incident, Fire Scar Eric only symbolically received a silver fox. As for these two wizards who suddenly appeared in the city of Clear Water, he also hopes to establish a long-term friendship.

After all, a brother's friend is a friend. Moreover, they seem to come from the resting bird.

There are many people in the Brotherhood, but not all of them are Nightmares. There are few people in the Resting Birds, but each of them is a top-notch black wizard.

Pierrick can imagine what the two Resting Birds did here today, but they came to pay their respects to him first, which is a great honor to him. If he does anything in the future, he will come and say hello to him in advance, and Pierrick is willing to not charge a penny.
