Vol 2 Chapter 559: Werewolf

"That's it...that's why you went to the Thieves Guild." After Bernardo's simple explanation, Alice suddenly realized that she was only trying to get a batch of goods through the trade union, but she never asked the young man in front of her. What is the reason for doing this, "It's just that I haven't heard of the weapon you mentioned..."
"this means?"
"It means that at least the union did not treat it as a commodity, and sold it directly through the channels they sold the stolen goods..." Alice said gloomily, "If it is a good sword as you describe, it should be able to sell very high. The price cannot be sold together with ordinary goods. Therefore, there are two possibilities-one is that the thieves’ union is selling this product to the big money owners in Skyrim through other underground channels, and it is still At the stage of business talks, it has not been sold yet."
"If that's the case, then you have to shoot early... and try to get the sword back before then." Bernardo said sullenly-if it really develops to that point, I'm afraid he will have to fight the thief. The union side broke directly, or with the lord of a certain place-by the way, for some lords of Skyrim, such as the Silver-blooded family in Markas City, or Marvin, who actually held power in Rift City For the Blackthorn family, dealing with the Thieves' Guild is almost a legitimate transaction that everyone knows. The items it trades include, but are not limited to, various jewellery, magical instruments, famous historical relics, and products such as paintings and sculptures. These things, which can be called works of art in various senses, are regarded as legal treasures by these big families, displayed in the elaborate display cabinets in their proud homes, and shown to those who come to them occasionally Yes, dignitaries from all over the mainland have fun.
If the "cold crack" really falls to this point, then he will not hesitate to use violence to bring back the sword-of course, these people's mansions will naturally have powerful mercenaries as guardians, and then I'm afraid I will inevitably commit a murder. Bernardo is not a saint who is unwilling to take human lives, but he has received a proper education since he was a child, and he still wants to avoid such things as much as possible.
"It’s not necessarily true. In fact, I’ve heard a senior thief say before that the union itself seems to treat some seemingly useful things as treasures—for example, they have been looking for legends. The whereabouts of the Crown of Barenzia."
"That thing completely disappeared in the world when it was not in the Second Age? I remember it was divided into many fragments and taken to many places." Bernardo said.
"Yes...but the thieves' union has been trying to find him. I heard that after hundreds of years of hard work, six fragments have been collected by the union, and according to the analysis given by very skilled craftsmen, this There should be twenty-four fragments in total-as long as they can be collected, they can be repaired."
"So that's it... but it will take a long time to wait." Bernardo raised his forehead, "Anyway, I understand... You mean, my sword may be taken by the union people and put it there. Treat it as something like... the treasure of the town house? If this happens, what should I do?"
"Generally speaking, based on what I know, the current president, Mercer Frey, does not seem to be a good talking character. Especially, you don’t seem to be a threat... although I am not a match in the thieves’ guild. Your master, but once they have a good relationship with the local official forces, the Blackthorn family is their powerful shield. And through Marvin Blackthorn’s contacts, if you become a troublemaker who disturbs their interests, then it is also possible She will find someone to deal with you... when that happens, it's hard to say."
"So... I should find a powerful person to use this method to solve the problem?" Bernardo nodded, there is indeed such a possibility, "But would it be too slow?"
"Yes...so one way I thought of is to let me guarantee you and see if I can redeem this sword from them-although you say that your weapon is a powerful weapon with ancient history, Maybe it hasn't reached the level that everyone knows, and they need to die. If they can pull a few of their core members and persuade the chairman, I hope it will increase a little."
"Really... I understand. But why are you helping me like this?" Bernardo was puzzled, no matter how you look at it, this kind of help seemed a bit redundant.
"Don't worry... this is not a casual courtesy that is either or steal. Of course, this is done for a reason..." Alice hesitated to say, "However, under the current situation, assuming I help you retrieve the weapon, you Would you like to accompany me on a trip to Ustengla, right?"
"Well... let's just say so." Bernardo nodded after thinking for a while.
"That's good. When the matter over there is resolved, you will know why I and my plan need you so much. From my personal opinion, I naturally hope that you can still be responsible for it after that, but here I am I have also considered the possibility that you do not want to continue to accompany you. All the choices are taken from yourself... It's just this trip of Ustengla, I hope you can accompany me through it."
"Okay." Bernardo nodded, "Just do it."
"Until tomorrow, I will take care of my business, we will leave for Rift Valley City immediately." Alice said at last, "Meet Mercer Frey directly."
"Hmm... I remember, the headquarters of the Thieves' Guild is in the underground waterway of Rift Valley City? The environment there doesn't seem to be very good."
"Yeah... but in fact, there is a similar secret passage that can directly enter their headquarters cistern. Then I will take you there. You are right, that underground waterway is really letting People find it hard to speak..."
"They are all places where all kinds of fugitives and lunatics are imprisoned... It's a shame that they can stay in this place." Bernardo curled his lips.
"Long wait... two. Priest Ruby said that he is out of danger." Scoyue's voice sounded-I can hear that he is in a good mood now, "I just need to rest for a few days. He is now awake. Here we are, and we have formally confirmed to him what happened at the time-please let me formally thank you."
"You are welcome," Alice said softly. "By the way, if it is convenient, can I talk to him alone?"
