Глава 359: переговоры
The headquarters of the Shadow Thieves Guild is divided into three floors above ground and one underground. The innermost floor of the basement floor has a luxuriously decorated office, where the superficial leader Ailang Linville hides here all year round to deal with daily affairs. As for the real boss Renault Bloodhead, he never stays in one place. He always randomly selects a room from the first floor to the second floor to stay for one day, and then changes to another place immediately after two days.
Henry has been walking in the narrow passage with seven twists and eight bends for more than five minutes, and he has no idea where the end point is. He had never imagined that the leader of a criminal organization would protect himself so tightly. Perhaps it was this unusual vigilance that allowed the Shadow Thieves Guild to grow and become the largest Thieves Guild on the West Coast.
Soon, they came to the door of a room that looked very inconspicuous, even a little shabby. The thief who led the way made a please gesture and whispered: “The boss is inside, but only the mage can enter.”
Henry nodded slightly, turned his head and said to Korgan and Viconia, “You stay here for a while, don’t cause trouble.” He didn’t plan to bring these two guys in. After all, the negotiation involves a lot of secret transactions, and one more person knows the more dangerous. In particular, Viconia still carried Shar’s attention, which was definitely an object that needed to be watched at all times.
“Don’t worry, as long as these little thieves don’t come to provoke me, I won’t trouble them.” The dwarf first patted his chest and promised.
As for the Queen of the Vicious Tongue, she sneered. “Huh! I’m not a fool, how could I be surrounded by so many troubles.”
After getting the guarantee from the two. Henry opened the door safely and walked in. This is a rather dim room, and the surrounding walls are covered with dense arrow holes. He could even hear the breathing of someone behind him. Needless to say, behind the wall must be full of thieves holding bows and crossbows.
Suddenly, two figures walked out of the darkness, one of them had black hair and eyes, and the entire face was wrapped in a black veil. The other is blond with green eyes, but he doesn’t wear a face towel, and he looks a little handsome. They each brought a bodyguard behind them, but they didn’t seem to be too strong.
Henry only glanced at it and knew that the blond-haired guy must be the puppet Irene Linville who attracted firepower on his face. Because his identity does not need to be kept secret, he stood up openly. And the other guy with black hair and mask is the real boss behind the scenes, Renault Bloodhead. He just stood and looked at each other with the people on the opposite side, and the atmosphere on the scene was very strange for a while.
Neither party is willing to speak first. This is a patient contest, and the losing party will be at a disadvantage in the next negotiation. Because speaking first means telling others that I am in a hurry, come and kill me severely. The situation in the Shadow Thieves Guild is already terrible. But they still want to fight for it and see if they can pay as little as possible.
Henry felt indifferent to these little tricks. Anyway, it’s not me who burns my eyebrows. He snapped his fingers, and then the wooden floor suddenly began to sprout, and within a few seconds it grew into the shape of a chair. Since becoming a legendary druid, he will receive a powerful natural blessing wherever he goes. This kind of letting dead plants start growing again couldn’t be easier.
Seeing that the other party had actually made a chair and sat down, Renault knew that his cautious thought had been seen through, so he immediately winked aside. Ellen sighed secretly, stepped forward and bowed slightly. “Good evening. Dear Mr. Henry. I am Ellen Linville, the leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild. I don’t know what your purpose is for this time.”
“Boss? Don’t put gold on your face. I’ve found it out a long time ago. You are just a target that attracts attention. The real leader is Mr. Renault with his face covered. I’m not a good person. I like nonsense, so it’s good to go directly to the final negotiation link. As for these boring temptations, I will avoid them.”
Henry sat high on a natural wooden chair, condescendingly looking down at the two leaders of the Shadow Thieves Guild. His time is very tight, and he doesn’t plan to wrestle here at all. If the other party can’t meet their own requirements, then they have to join the vampires to carry out a massacre here.
Renault knew that he could no longer hide, so he had to bite the bullet and stand up. “Yes, I am the true underground ruler of this city. Now that you know my name, you should also understand the current situation of the union. We need help, and it is a very big help. As long as it can be eliminated Vampires, whether it’s money, magic items, women, slaves (li), I can take them all out.”
The corners of Henry’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was not a smile. “You see, I am more sincere now than before. Before the negotiation, I can provide information for free. When the province asks for a while, you think it is too much. The leader of these vampires or the queen is called Badi, she He is a sibling and brother to Joan Erinikas, who caused riots in the mall some time ago.”
Speaking of this, he paused on purpose, then raised his head and looked at Renault’s face before continuing: “Do you know what this means? This means that to help you you need to deal with two legendary characters! A legendary vampire, but also Plus a legendary mage with a caster level of over 30. Maybe you think that Joan Erinikas has been in the Forbidden City and will never escape forever. But the fact is just the opposite. According to the information I got, he has now killed With the masked mage there alone, it won’t take long to return to this city.”
This news severely shattered the last trace of Renault’s psychological fluke, and the whole person was short by three points in an instant. He had secretly released a “detection lie” with magic items just now, knowing that the other party did not lie at all. Neither the legendary vampire nor the legendary mage can be dealt with by the Shadow Thieves Guild. No wonder the priests have nothing to do with Akanis’ situation. This level of negative energy may only be expelled by quite high-level priests and druids.
Seeing the pale faces of the two leaders of the movie thief, Henry said with a smile: “It seems that you already know your situation quite well. Now we can start negotiating terms. Don’t try to get past the rookie trick, remember, There is only one chance.”
“We don’t have much to offer right now, including a few good magic items, about 150,000 gold coins. This is already the current limit, because of the vampire attacks, many businesses can no longer be done.” Renault knew now. When it’s not playing tricks, I directly explain the old bottom.
Henry smiled and shook his head. “This thing is not worth it for me to deal with two powerful enemies at the same time. Actually… you still have one thing that you haven’t taken out, and that is the territory of the Shadow Thieves Guild in Ascatla.”
“It’s impossible! If this matter is let the Shadow Council know about it, I’ll be dead. And the six-member council will also send people to encircle and suppress it, and you won’t get anything at all.” Renault refused without hesitation. . He couldn’t imagine the appetite of the other party, so he dared to offer such a condition.
“Obviously you didn’t understand the meaning. I intend to let one of my men take over these sites and continue activities under the banner of the Shadow Thieves Guild. On the surface, you are still the boss, but in fact it has nothing to do. As long as these people are sitting there. If you don’t say it, no one will know. And we can form an alliance privately to fight against potential enemies.”
Henry knew very well that in fact, one of the most powerful leaders in the shadow council was a member of the six-member council of Amn. If you take action rashly, you will surely usher in an official blow, so it is better to silently penetrate. It is the best time to start when the country is in a large-scale turmoil. As for now, it is still necessary to lie dormant.
Having been the leader for so many years, Renault has never been so embarrassed. On the one hand, it is an extremely powerful enemy who wants to completely kill himself all the time. On the other hand, the noose around the neck, although not fatal for the time being, God knows when it will tighten. As long as you agree to this condition, it is tantamount to betraying the interests of the shadow thief. Once this matter is stabbed out, the other members of the shadow council will join hands to kill themselves.
“Don’t worry, I swear in the name of the goddess of magic that I will never reveal this news to any outsider.” Henry saw the other party’s hesitation and immediately made a guarantee with practical actions. Anyway, he has no plans to cross the river and demolish the bridge, at least not yet.
“Well, I agree to give up half of the quay area, shopping mall area and bridge area. The slum area and the city gate area are all yours. But the administrative area and the temple area are too sensitive, so they can’t move at all. As for the cemetery area, If you are interested in tomb robbery, you can send someone at any time. In addition, you need to grab these places by yourself Especially the dock area, most of which are in the hands of Maiwa. You must before you kill him. Get the evidence, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the leaders of other subordinate unions.”
“Don’t worry, I will resolve this matter myself later. Now that the terms have been negotiated, let us join hands to give the vampires a big gift.” A sinister smile appeared on Henry’s face. He knows that the shadow thief is using his own power to eliminate the traitors, but this is nothing, anyway, a lot of experience can be gained in the process.
“Big gift? Haha, let’s not tell you the truth, the union’s strongest assassin is at stake, I am afraid it will be difficult to organize a decent counterattack.” Renault smiled bitterly and said the situation of Akanis again, and then said that he was really powerless. .
“Oh? Can I see his condition? Maybe a cure can be found.” Henry showed a keen interest in this matter. He mainly wanted to see what’s special about the negative energy that can hold so many priests. Generally speaking, a fourth-level divine art “sub-recovery” can expel the energy attached to the vampire’s attack.
Renault nodded without hesitation. “Of course, if you can save him, I am willing to pay any price for it.” (To be continued.
