Chapter 315 Assassination From the Sewer
After a brief discussion, everyone went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
Those who are relatively wealthy should coordinate funds, those who have connections can find opportunities, and those who have no connections can provide people and efforts.
The Soul King Resurrection Tournament has not yet ended, and the Dragon Mark Family has already sorted out a charter.
"Hmm~, those guys want me to lead a group of people to the fortress opposite to check the situation..."
At the bastion in the evening, Karl looked at the plan sent by Joanna with a tangled expression.
I remember that when he was just an ordinary student, he was always being arranged for things. Now that he is the boss of Storm Bay, he is still being arranged for things!
Then his position as the boss of Storm Bay wasn't for nothing!
"You don't want to go?"
Seeing Karl's thoughts, Joanna asked awkwardly.
Even though Storm Bay is known as a paradise for adventurers, most of the top-ranked adventurers here are below level 8. People like Carl's team who are above level 10 per capita are quite rare.
According to the idea of the Dragon Mark family, those adventurers above level 8 are Karl's teammates heading to Dalkat Port.
Of course, they themselves will send people there.
"Of course I don't want to go! It will take some time for my research to produce results. Maybe I can use this research to improve myself to another level."
The more complex the research on magic weapons, the more spiritual feedback it will bring to the magic weapon master.
Karl had already gained a certain level of spirituality when he fought the dragon beast before. During this period of time, in addition to research, he also had discussions with Hope, so his spirituality has been growing steadily.
Wiping the sweat from her forehead in embarrassment, Joanna said helplessly: "Ugh, but~, the city hall can't find a completely trustworthy person to lead the adventurer team yet."
Karl: "Can't it be delayed a few days? You weren't in a hurry when we separated just now. Why are you so anxious now for me to lead the team to check the situation at the other side's port?"
Joanna: "Uh~, I'm sorry, Senior Karl, I forgot to tell you before. Something happened on the surface not long ago. A Tarkanan assassin sneaked into the residence of the Dragon Mark family with a strange dragon pattern weapon, and assassinated The representative of the Linland family... Fortunately, there is a high-ranking priest there, and he was rescued. "
Carl: "Huh?"
…
Time goes back to shortly after Carl and the Dragon Mark family parted ways.
Just as the official personnel in Storm Bay began to look for Riydrow spies, several people who disguised themselves with disguise props returned to Storm Bay.
If Udyr were here, he would probably be able to identify one of them as the alien dragon mark holder who was chasing him originally.
"Ruiyi Zhuoer said that their people were discovered, but we also obtained some loopholes in the Dragon Mark family's protection system.
It's a pity that the adventurer was only responsible for the maintenance of the Linland family's protection system. If he had contracted more projects, we might have been able to obtain the protection loopholes of several other dragon-marked families! "
The man with flaxen hair spoke in a low voice about his fantasy, his tone was very regretful.
But his companions all knew that his words were completely nonsense.
The adventurer initially accepted this project after giving his daughter to the previous steward of the Linland family.
There are no other female relatives in his family who can help him continue such transactions.
"Hmph! You don't look very good, but you think it's beautiful. But since you're all imagining it, why don't you just imagine that all the people in the Dragon Mark family will die from the plague? Why are you still imagining it? Submissive?"
At the end of the team, a short-looking figure taunted.
Judging from her height and appearance, she was probably a halfling.
However, the flaxen-haired man was not angry at his companion's ridicule. Instead, he sighed and said:
"Although what I said is outrageous, it is not completely impossible, but what you said is really not possible!"
After hearing this, the halfling woman wanted to argue, but the man who had already established his prestige when he assassinated Captain Linland stopped the situation from continuing.
"Okay, stop arguing. Even though the Rui Yi Zhuoer spy is dead, he created this golden opportunity for us.
Now, everyone in Storm Bay is searching for spies, but they have ignored us. Please hurry up and kill someone bigger this time!
Ah~, I really didn’t expect that someone in Storm Bay could see through our plan. As soon as the front foot left Storm Bay, the back foot was discovered and we almost didn’t escape. "
He repeated his goal of returning to Storm Bay with his companions. At the end, the member of the Tarkanan family also expressed emotion at the resourcefulness of Carl and others.
The buildings of the Dragon Mark Family on the surface are relatively easy to find. In order to facilitate identification, Carl made them and the elevator entrance part of the landmark building.
Following the guidance and their own understanding of Storm Bay, the group quickly arrived at the street in the southeast corner of the Linland family's residence, and then found a house that looked a bit old.
The room was not big and looked like an old-fashioned public toilet.
In fact, this used to be a public toilet.
However, since the Linland family laid the sewer and built supporting protection for it, no one has come to this place at all.
When Karl renovated Storm Bay, it was not included in the renovation area because it was too close to the Linland family's residence, so he stayed.
After finding this abandoned building less than two meters high, the group looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one around, and then went in all at once.
Because no one had visited for a long time, the public toilet seemed quite clean.
After entering, the members of the Takanaan family put on masks like gas masks. The leading man waved to his companions and then stepped aside.
The halfling woman in the team took out a wand and cast a spell directly at one of the pits.
The floor tiles that originally looked quite solid were slowly arched by the concrete below, and along with it, there was also a sewer pipe that emitted a stench.
Immediately afterwards, the halfling cast a shrinking spell on himself.
Her already short body suddenly became even smaller. She gestured to her companions, walked quickly to the entrance of the sewer, held her breath and jumped in.
Despite the gas mask, she still made this move subconsciously.
The width of the old sewer is quite narrow, but it is also straight.
After falling for a while, the halfling finally entered a more spacious sewer.
On the stained wall, metal pipes engraved with magic patterns were neatly arranged.
If you follow them, you will find that these pipes are connected to the manhole covers of all the sewer entrances around the Linland family.
Once someone enters, these pipes will transmit the message back to the center and trigger the alarm.
The public toilet should have been filled and sealed with the same material, but the adventurer who undertook the project cut corners and preserved the public toilet and the old sewer in it.
