Twenty Sided Dice

The slave market is located between the wharf and the dock area, where most of the situation can be seen in both directions. Siegel roamed around with Fizzak, spending a long time investigating the slaves captured by the pirates and raiders. According to Faizak, sailors who can row boats are sold very fast, and early in the morning they are sold to orcs' boot camps, where they will continue to board pirate ships as sailors. The rest are mostly separated by age and gender. The shipyard has been very short of manpower recently, so the strong male slaves are quickly divided up. The remaining women are mostly sold to entertainment venues, while young children and the elderly are sold in packs.

When a slave comes to the stage to show himself, he will use it to turn around in place, so that potential customers can take a good look at the quality of the slave. But they never saw anyone with a birthmark behind the ear. This man was originally made up by Siegel, and all he cared about was intelligence and ships. A convoy has just docked right now, and it's General Yoren's transport ship. The general is said to have owned 30 ships, of which 15 were warships and the rest were slave ships converted from merchant and passenger ships. Every time he sailed, he would divide the fleet in two, and the fastest warships attacked like wolves, looking for suitable targets on the route to start. Merchant ships can avoid a wolf or two, but it is difficult to escape a siege. After he succeeded, General Yoren would light the black smoke and take away the sails and water, leaving the attacked ship helplessly floating on the water. When the larger, slower, and heavier slave ship arrived, the people on the ship had no strength to resist, so they could only be put on ropes and sold as slaves.

Siegel and Faizak watched them unload the ship at the harbour. There were more than a hundred prisoners this time, and it is said that there are more to be shipped later. The people on the shore, whether they were orcs, half-orcs, or human slaves, looked at these new slaves with indifference, without the slightest concern or sympathy. Siegel felt very sad. War is sometimes unavoidable. It is understandable to capture prisoners to do hard labor and servitude. In some societies, it is considered as a matter of course. But after all, people are not cattle, sheep or poultry, and should not be bought or sold at will.

I was thinking about this when I heard a commotion. It turned out that the slaves shipped ashore were not sent to the market, and those slave traders who wanted to receive them were also blocked by guards. The long queue drove straight into the dock area, and the gate was closed.

"This is against the rules!" shouted a half-orc: "You can't take slaves without going through the market! This breaks the rules of the generals!"

With the sound of a bowstring, the shouting half-orc was pierced by a feather arrow through his throat and died on the ground. An orc on the tower in the dock area reloaded his arrows and glanced at the others. "Who still has questions?" he said loudly, but no one dared to answer.

"Didn't you say that the Chamber of Commerce formed by orcs with a military rank above a thousand commanders monopolized the first slave trade, and that all slaves must pass through them before they can be distributed?" Siegel asked Feizak in a low voice: "Even if it is the Three-Eyed Warlord. You can't steal all the money from the commanders and generals."

"This kind of thing has never happened." Feizak frowned, he had a bad feeling. "I'll ask the commander of the Chamber of Commerce to find out what it is for."

"I'm going too, just to meet them."

"Don't bother." Feizak glanced impatiently into the distance. "They don't want to meet strangers, and it doesn't look good if you come to the market once and buy nothing. If you can, at least buy a slave girl. I'll be right back when I'm done."

After speaking, he shook off Siegel and walked towards the crowded place.

'One-Eyed has lost patience, and it is time to solve this trouble. ' Siegel thought as he watched him stride into the crowd. Upon entering the grocery store, Siegel knew that the one-eyed man could be a threat that must be dealt with. Not because he was such an important figure, but simply because this was the first place Siegel might reveal his identity. Although magic can't be used, Siegel still has a lot of tools at his disposal. He secretly observed Daddy One-Eyed's life patterns, recorded the daily operation of the grocery store, secretly listened to the conversations of customers, and figured out his interpersonal relationships. Siegel couldn't follow Fizzak when he was out, but he had the opportunity to get ready in the grocery store. He had always hoped that this one-eyed human would be stupid, do his job honestly, and don't think too much. But Siegel found that Feizak was smart and thoughtful, and it was getting harder and harder to control him.

Are you going to kill him?

Killing him is a simple, effective, once and for all method. Whether it was with a knife or poison, as long as he struck first, Siegel was absolutely certain to kill the old man. Then use makeup, disguise and other methods to replace his identity. Feizak has few visitors, and his grocery store doesn't have many customers a day, so there's no danger of being discovered if he acts carefully. And Siegel has a fake identity to work with.

Are you going to kill him?

Siegel asked himself again, not about means and abilities, but about his own heart. Is there no other way? Siegel actually knew the answer, and there was a way. If he ventures into magic, he can charm Fizzak's mind, or control his actions with fear, and even read and modify his memories, as documented in the spellbooks of the Blood Mage and Common Mage. But this risk is too great, and the witch ritual of Makabuda will definitely find the traces of using magic, and then send someone to investigate. If caught, Siegel didn't see any chance of escape.

Apart from giving up the plan and escaping with his tail between his legs, there are only two paths in front of him, one is easy and the other is full of thorns. He has to make his own decisions, and quickly. Because time waits for no one, Siegel thought. Time waits for no one.

After leaving Siegel, Feizak, who was acting alone, returned to the grocery store as quickly as possible. He prepares the crossbow, poisons the arrows, and prepares a fishing net with barbs to make a simple trap on the stairs. He wears chain mail close to his body, it would be better if he could wear a helmet, but he can't be exposed until "Thoth" returns.

At this time, there was a knock on the door downstairs, which startled him. He opened a corner of the curtain and looked out, and found that it was the boy who delivered the letter. "A greeting from General Kuroi," the boy said. This was actually a secret letter from Waterdeep, something Feizak had been waiting for for a long time.

He dismissed the boy with two coins and opened the letter with trembling hands. The light in the room was too dim for his dim eyes to see clearly. Thinking of this, he walked up the second floor to Siegel's bedroom. When he opened the door, he felt some dust falling, which made his eyes itch a little, but he didn't care. This is the place with the best light in the room and the most secluded.

The raven Balon has been hiding on the beam, endured starvation for three days, and pretended to be deaf and did not make a sound. The grocer has never been able to spot it, and who cares about the shadows in the corners of the beams? The familiar's job is to act as the mage's eyes, and when Fizzak comes in, it connects with Siegel through soul resonance.

The mage didn't put any very important items in the house, only a bag of coins and poison mixed with poison powder. He writes and draws at his desk every day, in fact, most of them are practicing magic drawing. He seems to have a lot of secrets, and he hides them carefully, in fact, it is also to hide people's eyes and ears.

Baron asked if he wanted to use a flame ray to cut a hole in the back of Feizak's head, which could directly penetrate the brain stem and kill him with a single blow. Siegel finally made the decision to keep him alive. The risk of using magic is great, but carrying it on your own shoulders is a bit better than taking your life.

The grocer spread the letter on the desk and unlocked the password on the letter according to the method agreed in advance. In order to prevent mistakes, he wrote down the decrypted content on a small piece of paper. After reading it three times and making sure to keep it in his mind, he threw both pieces of paper into the fire and burned it.

The letter said that the Faceless will arrive on the seventh day after the full moon, and that two thousand gold coins must be prepared to meet the remaining teams in Waterdeep. "Two thousand gold coins? Where did you get this huge sum of money at this time?" Feizak thought of the hidden space under the counter. There was only about three hundred gold coins left in it. This was because the profit for this month was not handed in. "The gentleman in the south takes it for granted, thinking that money can come as soon as it comes? On the seventh day after the full moon, there is only one day left to collect money? Damn it!"

He walked around the house anxiously. The goods in the grocery store were enough for the money, but he couldn't sell it so quickly. He suddenly thought of Soth, the guy who was not short of money at all.

The operation is about to start, and Feizak can't keep a dangerous person by his side. He knew that he should report Soth to the patrol or the witch priest. The three-eyed warlord Lunt had been strictly guarding the city to prevent the human rats from lurking in Waterdeep. The end of the mouse should be grilled into a skewer, and there is a reward for catching the mouse. But Lord Lunt will want to know how he sneaked into the city, which means interrogation, and it is likely that Feizac will also be taken away for questioning. He has a task at hand, and it is impossible to leave at this time, so he can only kill the "smuggler" by his own means.

The grocery store’s guest room has five viewing holes, one of which Feizak chooses to peek at every night. He only had one eye left, but he could only fit one eye in each observation hole anyway. He sees "Thoth" writing by candlelight every night and hides under the bed plank; he knows that this "smuggler"'s dagger is always under the pillow, and he has a long sword standing between the table and the bed Time - where did he find the weapon, and Fei and other accomplices? He also knew that the spy had put a money bag in the corner between the mattress and the bed board~www.novelmt.com~ even the sleeping person wouldn't notice it. Feizak didn't care how much money was in it at first, but now he was curious.

He carefully opened the mattress, and as expected, there were two bags tucked into the two corners of the bed board, and there were no traps around—that Soth was being too careless.

"Hmph, newbie." Seeing the broken seal, Feizak took out the parchment and looked at it. If you need a fake identity one day, this thing is also worth 2 gold coins. Putting the bag back on him, he picked up the money bag, weighed it with his hands, and heard the sound of gold coins and gems colliding inside. According to his years of experience, there are at least 60 coins, and the number and value of gems should be above this. He licked his dry lips, and suddenly felt that the room was very dark, the one eye started to hurt again, and tears kept coming down, making it hard to see things clearly. So he rubbed his eyes, went to the table in front of the window, opened the bag, and poured out the contents.

A pile of coins dances beautifully in the sun, including gold and platinum coins. Feizac took a bite and made sure that these were all real, probably worth more than 800 gold coins. But what was more lovely was the brilliance of the gems, diamonds, sapphires, citrines, and a few pretty stones that Fizzak couldn't even name, and even sore eyes weren't a big problem. Feizak was even more determined to take Soth's life, but there was still time, and he wanted to take a closer look. The one-eyed old man grabbed the gem and was about to hold it up in the sunlight to examine it, when suddenly he felt dark in front of him, lost control of his whole body, and fell to the ground.
