"This hotel owner is a bit unusual. Before retiring, he was a member of the top adventure group of the Adventurers Guild. After retirement, he naturally became a high-ranking member of the Adventurers Guild. His hotel can also be regarded as an adventure group to a certain extent. A branch of the Players Guild that can directly issue formal adventure missions..."
The so-called "formal adventure missions" are missions that can only be released by officially certified unions. To a certain extent, there will be official endorsement from Waterdeep City.
With this background, it is normal for adventurers to gather in the tavern below.
However, Barrett's words were not over yet.
"And... I have observed that the tasks that two teams are discussing are related to Earthline Maze!"
The mission of Leyline Maze City!
Isaac's heart moved a little, and he immediately understood what he meant: "You mean, he here, or he has relevant channels, can directly connect to the Lost City of Earth Lines?"
It's not impossible.
You can release tasks related to Earthline Maze City. If you don’t have a channel, you can send people down directly. Could it be that... you still have people digging holes?
And this person's status in the Adventurers' Guild, and the Adventurers' Guild is related to the Lords Council of Waterdeep City... It is completely reasonable to have this channel.
To a certain extent, this can also explain why there are a considerable number of elite adventure groups in the tavern below, including many spellcasters and priests.
After all...it should be these elites who dare to venture into the Lost City and explore!
"Yes, I think it's possible!"
"I have some impression of the name Dunan. I must have heard of some of his adventures in the Lost City of Earth!"
Barrett nodded slightly to express his confirmation.
This is his first time coming to Deep Water, and when he first came here, he already felt a little familiar with the name of the hotel owner, and it was still connected with the Lost City... This in itself means that this hotel owner is in the adventurer field. Especially in terms of exploring the Lost City, there is definitely something extraordinary!
And from this, if he holds the passage into the Lost City of Earth Lines in his hands... this is obviously completely possible!
Isaac pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
However, he was not in a hurry to go immediately. He said slowly: "Don't rush now. After Beasley comes back, we will combine the intelligence and information and then look at the specific arrangements. Before that..."
But he looked at little Heath and said with a faint smile: "Heath, since your teacher wants to take this opportunity to give you a chance to practice, the rest is all up to you..."
When he spoke, there was an obvious look of interest in his eyes.
The fragrance of the dark night is already a bit interesting.
That woman is even more worthy of his attention.
This little devil's trial...is not even just a spice for the journey!
"Why!"
Heath pursed his lips and responded helplessly, vomiting in his heart... What did Cheap Teacher mean by this? It was clearly your old man's bad taste first, and then Cheap Teacher agreed, right?
Of course, it's okay to complain, since he has been marked, and since the two bosses are also waiting for him to put on a good show...
Heath's eyes still rolled rapidly.
How can I complete this trial more perfectly?
Those people are targeting him...
If the goal is gold coins...
It shouldn’t be done at the hotel!
That should be...
Not for gold coins...
…
Following rational train of thought, possibilities emerged one after another in Heath's mind.
Combined with these speculations, ideas are generated rapidly and constantly improved.
finally……
Heath raised his head and looked at the two people over there, his eyes fixed: "Your Majesty, teacher, I have an idea, maybe we shouldn't reverse the layout now..."
Opposite him, Barrett nodded slightly, but said nothing. He just motioned for him to continue.
Heath immediately continued: "I think the reason why you chose me as your target is that the equipment you equipped me with at Baldur's Gate is of high quality. Even a child can be equipped like this. This is sure to ensure that our wallets are full.
But... there are many rich people here in Waterdeep City!
So, I think there is another factor... The Harp Man should have noticed that we are not locals! "
This is the summary again, little guy.
Both Barrett and Isaac nodded slightly in approval.
Seeing this, he continued: "I'm not a local, and I stayed in this hotel... If I were that person, the most likely idea is that he is either traveling to Waterdeep City, or doing business in Waterdeep City!
Whether traveling or doing business, if you go out at night, people may suspect you have another purpose!
Therefore, I think that if we want to lay them out in reverse...Tomorrow's daytime, on the way to the business district, is a good time to get them to take the bait! "
This kid...
Isaac and Barrett's eyes moved, and their eyes showed approval again.
But...the eyes of the two people intersected inadvertently.
Kudu saw something in the other person's eyes.
Barrett smiled and nodded: "Your guess is very reasonable and your arrangement is good, but..."
There was a turning pause, and after a strange look in the old killer's eyes, he slowly shook his head: "You overlooked one thing, or you didn't know one thing!"
"There is no closing time in Waterdeep City's business district!"
“Among the famous cities that never sleep, this is the only place that lives up to its name!”
It's the city that never sleeps, so...
Whether traveling or doing business, there is no difference between night and day!
Even traveling at night is more convenient for doing things over there, and in turn, it is more convenient for layout here...
"I see!"
Heath was stunned, but he didn't forget to complain: "Teacher, you can't wait to see my show. How old am I? I'm still a child!"
…
It was when the kid was forced to actively prepare.
Beasley has also completed some exchanges with the direct agents of the Kingdom Security Bureau.
Over there, they continued to prepare more detailed information. Here, Beasley hurried back to the hotel, just in time to follow the little devil's instructions and prepare to go to the business district.
But he didn't stop and simply let Beasley take care of it. The two carriages were soon ready in front of the hotel.
The night was already setting at this time.
The southern district is the transportation center. Although roads are well connected, at night, the busyness drops sharply.
It's not busy enough. Although there are some lights on various roads, the brightness is as bright as that in the northeast, located east of Deepwater Mountain. The light reflects into the nightless area of the sky... to the naked eye. Visible huge gap!
"Four people! One more!"
"Moreover, this person seems to..."
From the heights of the Yawning Hotel, above the dome-like attic.
At some point, she had abandoned her retired comrades in the tavern. Ms. Eileen was alone in the darkness of the attic, looking down from the window.
Not heeding her warning... no surprise!
After all, I have a hunch that these people are not simple either!
However, there is one more person, which still makes her...
His brows wrinkled slightly!
An aura that made her frown slightly!
It seems...a bit like those annoying guys!
Is it...the smell of the evil dragon clan?
With this fourth person, Ms. Eileen's eyes were secretly twinkling.
Although not all of the evil dragon race are from the evil camp, there is no doubt that only a handful are from the good camp.
With this evil dragon clan following...
This kid is afraid...
"Let's first use them to determine the origins of those guys..."
"Let's also use those guys to test who they are? What's the purpose of coming to Deep Water?"
"However, these guys may not be easy. To be on the safe side, we still have to recruit some more people!"
Quickly, Ms. Aileen suppressed some of the tendencies in her heart. After all, she was not blinded by sex, nor was she a person who forgot her duty after seeing sex.
Watching the two carriages go away.
Silently, a pair of bat wings unfolded from behind her.
The darkness between the attic and the attic is more flexible and secretive than the bats at night, and her figure flashes silently in an instant.
…
"The secret agent is already preparing detailed information, some oral information..."
The carriage was speeding along according to Heath's arrangements.
In the car behind.
Beasley had to report some information first.
"The known entrances to Leyline City and the portals in the hands of the Lords Alliance and the Anmin Mages Guild are completely out of reach of the spies. However, there are clues that the Adventurer's Guild and several large chambers of commerce in Waterdeep City have access to them. , also controls the relevant portal!"
"The Yawning Hotel where we stayed happens to be a branch of the Adventurer's Guild. If there is a channel, we can find a way to enter the Lost City of Earth from the Yawning Hotel."
"In addition, there must be a channel to enter the Leyline Maze City in Skull Port. However, the connection channel between Skull Port and this side is said to have been completely blocked by the city guards of Waterdeep City with seven steel gates. To enter and exit Skull Port, There are only some secret passages controlled by a few dark forces that can go up and down.”
"However, for a while, I haven't been able to contact the spies lurking in Skull Port, and I can't yet determine the location of these secret passages."
Beasley's main concern is naturally the two places that Isaac paid attention to, especially Leyline Maze City.
Some clues related to this have already been initially explored.
And it is also consistent with some of Barrett's judgments.
"The owner of the Yawning Hotel must be a warrior who has exceeded level 15 at least."
"It's certainly not difficult to hint or control him, but if you want to completely prevent accidents that alarm others, it may not be safe. After all, it's impossible for him to stay away from his face for a long time in his tavern. Some of my companions do have some good qualities."
Isaac said with a slight nod.
The hotel owner was already pretty good, but the lady who fell in love with little Heath was even worse.
If he was unscrupulous, he would just retaliate. Suppressing these two people was just a matter of flicking his claws a few more times.
But he has always followed order. At least, he has no intention of directly breaking the order in Waterdeep City!
so……
"Let's first see if there are any channels. Whether it's the adventure guild's mission or the transaction of gold coins and goods, go through the formalities in a formal way."
"If that doesn't work... then go find this person alone!"
Isaac quickly made his decision.
Naturally, it was Beasley who did the work. After a few thoughts flashed in the bureau chief's mind, he quickly accepted the order.
And the two of them were communicating about these things calmly.
In the carriage in front.
Heath was casually talking about something to Teacher Cheap, and his voice could be heard outside the carriage. If the driver listened carefully, he could also hear something... This kid has always been wary of the carriage. He was not sure whether there would be a problem, but if there was a problem and took some precautions, there would always be nothing wrong. That was right!
On the side, by the dim candlelight, he looked out the car window from time to time, and from time to time he circled and circled the map in his hand, which came from nowhere, and drew again and again.
Barrett, on the other hand, just sat there, casually accompanying the cheap student and fooling the coachman outside, and just watching with his eyes without any warning or anything.
"The environment in the business district, according to Cheap Teacher's description, should not be the first choice for an attack."
"So... the most likely places are on the way from the hotel to the business district. These are the places that you must pass by, are the easiest to get, and can be quickly hidden!"
While Heath was calmly observing the environment outside the car window, he combined the marks on the map to determine his current location.
This night, it was his first time in Waterdeep City. In an unfamiliar environment, he could only do so.
A "mark" passed quickly in his concentration.
No movement!
Not long after, another "mark" approached, but I still missed it.
Still no movement!
Along the way, the brightness of the light ahead gradually increased, and it felt like it was moving from the darkness of night to dawn and then to the moment of sunrise.
As countless firelights appeared on the city wall in front of him, they entered Heath's eyes from the car window...
A sudden realization also appeared in Heath's eyes.
"Teacher, I'm afraid we really have to go shopping first!"
"It's hard to judge whether those people didn't react."
"But there is no doubt that if we turn back after one lap... not only will they have enough preparation time to wait for us to enter the ambush, but more importantly, we should be 'tired' after one lap." !”
Judgment based on the results, backwards reasoning, and standing in the position of the person on the opposite side...
When Heath spoke this time, his voice was obviously lowered.
"We will follow your arrangements for today's trip."
"How to do it properly is all up to you."
Barrett smiled calmly.
After leaving the hotel door, he no longer judged or evaluated the cheap students.
This is not only a test for cheap students, but also...
The expression on his face was motionless, but a dark wave passed through the old killer's heart... He had a vague feeling that there might be more to him!
After all, that is his usual style. Even if he pays some attention to Little Heath's trial, he personally participates in it. This is not his style!
If there wasn't more meaning, a trial, that person would definitely be sitting in the hotel, thinking about his never-ending research, while using magic to pay attention secretly. This is already the biggest concern!
so……
Mostly it has something to do with that woman, right?
In the old killer's heart, the figure of Ms. Eileen floated past.
At this time, the carriage also completely entered the city gate of the southern district and commercial district.
After a routine simple inspection by the city guards, they passed through the city gate again.
Suddenly, even through the car window, light bloomed in front of several people.
The city that never sleeps has arrived!
