Chapter 897 Shadow Master Guild

Neither Gavin nor Ms. Strategy could sit back and watch such a tragedy happen. When the statue was about to fall to the ground, the divine aura flickered.

The citizens of Tefram where it landed were immediately enveloped in a gentle force, and by the time they came to their senses, they had been teleported hundreds of meters away.

This large-scale group transmission caused a burst of exclamations from the citizens of Teflam, and they all praised Ms. Strategy's kindness.

Ms. Strategy only communicated briefly with those praying to express her concern when she first arrived, and then fell silent again.

Although she had just become a god, she had been carefully trained by Tempus, the god of war, and had a lot of experience in being a god. She knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes, especially when there are too many people to fill the gap. The kinder you are to those believers, the better. The more they wanted from her, not even the gods could grant all the wishes of sentient beings.

It is better to let them handle most of the affairs by themselves from the beginning, and only provide guidance at critical moments.

The more powerful the gods are, the less they personally interfere with the mortal world. Most of them do so through their believers or divine envoys.

Over time, this has become a default rule.

As a voter of Ms. Strategy, Gavin can represent Ms. Strategy’s rights here.

Now no one doubts whether he can invite Ms. Strategy here. Now it depends on how much faith he can gather and whether he can bring the divine incarnation of Ms. Strategy here.

People ask God for answers.

The same is true in Faerûn.

Whether you want to use the power of good gods, gods, or evil gods and demons, you must carry out matching prayers and sacrifices.

The world only thinks that this is a way for the gods to gather faith, in order to let more people believe in and worship themselves. However, they do not know that this is also a shackles on the gods, preventing them from doing whatever they want and bringing devastating disasters to the world.

With the endorsement of Ms. Strategy, many things will become easier.

Affected by the Statue of Lady Strategy, the number of people gathered in the dock area of ​​Tefram City has not become smaller, but has become more, but they no longer block the chariot legions from loading and unloading supplies into the chariot.

After everyone returned to the house, Lord Parado knelt down in front of Gavin and said: "General, save me..."

Although his heart was the same as that of Ming Jing, Gavin pretended to be surprised and said: "City Lord, please get up quickly. What are you causing trouble? Didn't we just reach a consensus?"

The bitterness on the face of Lord Parado could be seen with the naked eye, and he lay on the ground refusing to get up. "The General has just arrived in Teflam City, and may not know much about the situation here. I only rule Teflam City in name. In fact, The control of this city is not in my hands at all, but in a group called the Shadow Masters Guild... Uh-huh...save me...general, save me..."

When Parado mentioned the name of the Shadow Master Guild, as if he had violated a taboo, his shadow immediately came to life and strangled his own neck (shadow).

Parado immediately followed the instructions uncontrollably, grabbing his neck tightly, as if he was going to strangle himself to death.

"It's just a trick." Gavin couldn't help but sneer, and a unique golden sledgehammer appeared out of thin air, hitting Parado's shadow.

When they met for the first time, he had already noticed something unusual in the shadow of Lord Parador, because it was very similar to the core members of the Shadow Wing Guild.

At that time, he had already guessed that this was a method used by the shadow thieves of the Shadow Master Guild to monitor or control the Lord of Parador.

When talking about things with the other party, he always pays great attention to his words and tries not to involve those shadow thieves as much as possible.

Since the other party has acted unscrupulously, there is no need to worry.

With this hammer blow, a shrill scream came from the shadow of Lord Parador.

The entire shadow was shattered on the spot.

For others, this kind of killing through shadow is extremely difficult.

Ordinary weapons cannot harm shadows at all. They must have powerful magical weapons with ghost damage properties or restraint magic.

This kind of weapon and magic is relatively rare, and often by the time you think of a way, the person you want to rescue has already been killed.

But for Gavin, it was a matter of taking it easy.

This is what the War Raiders are best at, not only killing the shadows lurking in Parador, but even dragging them away.

Those shadow masters did not transform the shadow of Lord Parador into a shadow, but sent a shadow to follow him lurking.

Like the Shadow Wing, transforming shadows into shadows, and then sending them to their side to fight alongside them is based on the undead power's super control over undead creatures.

If there is no suppression by the immortal power, what those shadows want to do most is to kill themselves and replace them.

It's not that easy for those shadow masters to obtain the same ability. They need to obtain it through professional levels and get the blessing of Musk, the Lord of Shadows.

The moment the shadow in the shadow of Lord Parado was taken away by the bombardment, a thin figure popped out from the shadow only half a street away from them, spurting blood, and he wrapped himself tightly. , even if he enters reality, outsiders cannot peek into his true face.

The thin figure couldn't help but growl uncontrollably: "My shadow, my shadow, the great Lord of Shadows, what is going on? Who can take my shadow away?"

In the sunlight, he had no shadow.

He was the ace of the Shadow Master Guild - Shadow Assassin.

Those with this title had at least quasi-legendary strength.

Their signature ability was to turn their own shadows into shadows.

Unlike the shadows, they could control their own shadows 100%, and even put their consciousness on the shadows, leaving their bodies to carry out medium and close-range activities.

There was no need to say much about the strength of this ability. If used for theft, they could leave no trace. As long as there was a shadow, they could arrive silently, and most traps and spells would be ineffective against them.

If used for assassination, they could kill people invisibly.

And in terms of safety, there was an absolute guarantee. Even if the shadow died, they only needed to pay a little professional experience to reunite, which was only one-fifth of the resurrection of the dead.

But this time was different. He clearly felt that he had completely lost control of the shadow and there was no way to revive it.

Without the Shadow, he was crippled, and his strength was mostly reduced.

The Shadow Assassin did not dare to stay for a moment, and immediately retreated into the shadows again, circling around the city of Tevram several times. After making sure that there was no tail behind him, he used the Shadow Walking Technique to escape into a world composed entirely of shadows.

This is the famous Shadow Demiplane, where the Shadow Lord Musk's Kingdom of Shadows is located. He has a strong influence here, and many of his believers like to use this place as their base camp.

As the largest church in Musk, the Shadow Master Guild is no exception. The one in Tevram is just their grassroots organization, and the real core is here.

Soon a black castle wrapped in shadows appeared silently in front of the Shadow Assassin. The unique thing is that this castle is integrated and has no gate at all.

"Damn it." The Shadow Assassin couldn't help but curse, and had to take the initiative to show up from the shadows, saying loudly, "I am Fyodor, I need to be taken back to the Shadow Nest, I have important things to meet with the Shadow Masters."

Under normal circumstances, at his level, he can go unimpeded in most places in the Shadow Nest.

But to pass through the many traps, he needs his body and the Shadow to cooperate with each other.

Without the Shadow, he can't even enter the first gate now.

"Lord Fyodor? A Shadow Assassin still needs to be taken?" A surprised whisper came from the Shadow Castle.

It seemed that someone was observing the Shadow Assassin in the shadows, and then more whispers sounded, "It's really Lord Fyodor, but Lord, where is your shadow?"

Two people dressed like the Shadow Assassin walked out of the Shadow Nest and saluted the Shadow Assassin respectfully.

Fyodor can rank among the top ten Shadow Assassins, and he is also well-known in the Shadow Master Guild.

The shadow assassin said with an unchanged expression: "My shadow is on surveillance duty in Tevram. I have just collected important intelligence and must meet the shadow masters immediately."

Although the god of thieves, Musk, does not have the priesthood of lies, he once controlled the priesthood of conspiracy, which is often inseparable from lies.

The core doctrine of Musk says "Only fools are honest to others."

As a senior Musk believer, Feodor has long implemented this doctrine in his words and deeds.

There is fierce competition within the Shadow Master Guild. There are countless people who are eyeing their position and wealth. Once the news of losing the shadow is known to everyone, I am afraid that it will not take long for me to die.

My position and wealth must be handed over to others.

"I see." The two Shadow Nest gatekeepers had no doubts. After all, the Shadow Assassin who lost his shadow had never heard of it. "But Lord Feodor should be clear about the rules of the reception. This is our duty."

"Understood." The Shadow Assassin took out a shadow token from his arms, lit the exclusive mark on it, and threw it to the Shadow Nest gatekeeper.

After a Shadow Nest gatekeeper took it, he hurried back to the Shadow Nest. In a few minutes, he walked out quickly again.

A shadow gate appeared silently, and at the same time a shadow road spread in front of the Shadow Assassin. The two Shadow Nest gatekeepers walked quickly to the Shadow Assassin, handed the shadow token back respectfully, and said, "Lord Feodor, welcome home."

"Yeah." The Shadow Assassin responded coldly, stepped on the shadow road familiarly, passed through the shadow gate and entered the Shadow Nest.

As the three returned to the Shadow Nest at the same time, the shadow road and shadow gate disappeared again silently, and the entire Shadow Nest became looming again.

If there is no corresponding method, even if you can see the Shadow Nest, you can't enter. This is also a kind of city defense maze, just a shadow version.

The interior of the Shadow Nest is not as inconspicuous as it looks from the outside. It is luxurious to the extreme.

The steps are carved from various jades. The marble pillars are not only painted with dragons and phoenixes, but also inlaid with countless jewels and jades. Many places are even surrounded by gold and silver.

Exquisite porcelain from the Far East Empire can be seen everywhere.

The jade fountain located in the castle square does not spray water, but crystal clear pearls.

The wealth of the Shadow Lord Mask Church is second only to that of the goddess of wealth Wakin.

Musk's pastors usually have the good virtue of accumulating wealth, and they all strive to collect wealth throughout their lives.

The shadow assassin Fyodor tried his best to keep his eyes open and tried his best to control his greed. Every gold coin and every pearl here was marked by shadows by the shadow masters.

As long as they are touched, the shadow masters will get the news immediately.

No one can take this wealth out of the Shadow Nest.

Even if you are lucky enough to do it, you will become the public enemy of thieves all over the world. No matter where you go, there will be cold eyes and daggers staring at your vital points.

The shadow assassin walked through the hall and soon entered a huge temple. The place was surrounded by shadows everywhere, and only the huge silk mask in the center was emitting divine light.

As Fyodor stepped into the temple, a pair of eyes lit up in the shadows, staring coldly at the shadow assassin and saying: "Fyodor, aren't you on a mission to monitor the Lord of Parador in Tevram? Why? Come back...hey, where is your shadow?"

"Reporting to Master, Lord Parado betrayed us. Before he is ready to reveal our information to outsiders, I am going to execute the emergency order to execute him on the spot and bring his soul back to Shadow Nest.

Unexpectedly, my shadow was not only killed with one blow, but also unable to reshape and resurrect. Therefore, I came back as soon as possible to report to you adults. "The shadow assassin replied respectfully.

This time Feodor did not dare to lie.

Because these people in front of them are not the gatekeepers of Shadow Nest, but the shadow masters, the rulers of the Shadow Master Guild.

Each one possesses above-legendary strength, and their use of shadows is superb. Many of them have even been blessed by the Lord of Shadows, Musk.

Lying in front of them is easily exposed.

And if he wants to find his shadow, he must rely on them. He has no clue about this matter now.

"Parrado is ready to betray us, probably thinking that if he agrees to cooperate with Ms. Strategy, we will eradicate him. Therefore, it is expected that he is ready to seek asylum from Ms. Strategy's voters."

"Parrado is a straw. Whoever is powerful will fall to him. If Tefram falls, and the Tukan people give him a chance, it would not be strange for him to be loyal to the Tukan people."

"Parrado's understanding of us is only at the most superficial level, and there is nothing to worry about. The biggest threat to us now is the immortal power controlled by the strategist lady Chosen. Shadows and shadows are inseparable most of the time. He It should be through this power that Feodor’s shadow is taken away.”

"In the past month, there have been many new faces in Tefram who are good at using shadow abilities. They have been trying to spy on us. They should also be members of this general."

Hidden in the shadows, these shadow masters whisper, exchanging intelligence and knowledge.

Although they were dormant in the Shadow Nest, they knew the situation of Teflam very well.

Thieves and intelligence are never separated.

The thieves from the Shadow Master Guild are the top experts in this area. They had already checked Gavin out before they confronted Gavin, a powerful foreign dragon.

In the blink of an eye, he used the information in his hands to piece together the whole thing.

In this discussion, the shadow assassin Fyodor could only sit in and listen.

"How do you gentlemen think this matter should be handled?"

"Not only can we not stop General Gavin from asking Ms. Strategist to join the war, but we should strongly support it.

If Yamen Khan wants to become the God of Slaughter, he needs a lot of sacrifices and achievements. Once he breaks through Teflam, massacre of the city will be inevitable. Our many years of operation here will be in vain.

The conspiracy priesthood of the Lord of Shadows had just been stolen by the Prince of Lies, which had damaged his foundation. In addition, he was not good at frontal combat, so he was unable to lower his divine incarnation to withstand Yamen Khan.

We need Ms. Strategist to be at the forefront, to contain Yamen Khan and guard Teflam. "

"It's easier to invite the gods than to give them away. Once the goddess of strategy moves into Tefram on a large scale, it won't be easy for us to drive her out afterwards. If we're not careful, it will cause a war between gods."

"If under the leadership of Ms. Strategy, we win this battle, especially if we kill Yamen Khan, the situation will indeed be as you said, but if the situation is opposite, or the final blow is by us What was accomplished by the Lord of Shadows?"

"In this way, the greatest glory will go to the lord of thieves, and we can naturally take over Teflam."

"This plan is like picking chestnuts from the fire. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. We must be careful and careful."

"This is natural. Ms. Strategy is different from the God of War. She is not a brainless fool. She and her followers are good at planning and calculation. We must prepare a few more plans to prevent the ship from capsizing in the gutter."

"This matter is settled."

These shadow masters took advantage of the situation to discuss the situation in Teflam, and soon reached a consensus.

Although Musk, the Lord of Shadows, has lost his conspiracy priesthood, his believers, especially those senior believers, still adhere to their original behavior and like conspiracy calculations.

When they wanted to bring Gavin into the game to help defend Teflam, Ms. Strategist was already in their calculations.

In other words, Ms. Strategy's identity as a voter is what they value most about Gavin. (End of chapter)
