Chapter 40 Thieves Guild (1/2)

Edelgard’s thieves guild It was hidden underground along with all the other unconventional businesses The only way of reaching it was having a thievery related class This was mostly considered to be either a thief class or a bandit class

The first one was your usual pickpocket and someone pri, closer to a warrior in stat distribution The only difference wasin a less honorable way The way you achieved it was by stealing, robbing, or even killing other huuild it had a notice board where the guild ed from your typical fetch quests where someone petitioned a certain item from someone’s house be taken All the way to assassination missions and even brutal robberies with no witnesses

So it up to other uilds This depended on the guild leader and the one in Edelgard had no probleuildthe show here was called Reinald the Razor This was et’s throat with his daggers He was a high leveled person that had taken over the job just a few years ago after the previous guild leader died during one of the job runs He was the one that brought in souild that refrained frouild noas considered weaker than it hile the old guild master was around Mostly due to the fact that the previous one was a high level tier 3 and an owner of a prestige class His replace skills in particular Still, he was the strongest person here and no one could go against his daggers

The night was sloinding down and so out soht in a small commotion as the party that had tried to ransack Roland’s workshop had returned with two of theirabout the encounter and that one of the more experienced members was killed

“Hey did you hear, that old idiot Rawson got himself killed”

“What? But he was a tier 2? Did he try to fuck the count's wife or sohed while the other took things a bit ht that idiot Bryan I bet old Reinald will skin the rest of their party alive”

The thieves knew that getting caught was close to a death sentence Either you got hung at the gallows by the city guards, or if you gave out any inforuild you’d have to worry about theuild would be uild master The one that was here liked to put out hits on people like handing out cookies

“Maybe he will be in a gooda lot of work for the past few uild had been busy lately, so out various tasks

A party of adventurers would s That was only in an outright brawl The thieves guild ht ti poison and only attacked at night, some of them even used monster attacks as cover

There had been a couple of blunders through this period but the people outside couldn’t really distinguish between a guild ular person No one would talk about it out of fear of retaliation either The event that happened today was quite a proble deal

The two thieves that returned here after escaping out of fear were now getting questioned by the guild uildaround with a sharp crimson knife

The two men had their hoods down and their faces were clearly revealed They both were regular humans as the party was very uniform in their race They weren’t alone in this roouild master, there were four other people here

Tere beast men fro that was leaning up against a wall and skillfully playing around with soe and his skin was pale green He didn’t have the look of a rogue and clearly followed ed to the half-orc race

“So you are trying to tell ot killed by some brat blacksmith?”

The two nodded in panic as they didn’t hide any details from the operation They were sure to not leave out any details The only problem was that they didn’t really see what really happened as they were the lookouts None of thee blacksmith They even knew that he was only a steel adventurer, how could he go against a tier 2 rogue at night?

“Did that idiot step into souildthis report The man that died wasn’t much but he still was a tier 2 class holder He smelled a conspiracy, did someone snitch? These two escaped the moment their leader’s dead body shot out froale arrow

Reinald didn’t think that these tere lying, the spell that did their party leader in was apparently a green arrow This he could clearly identify as soic scroll could also have been used

He had no reason to not believe these two so they were allowed to leave They didn’t do anything wrong and the guild iven out information When they found the one responsible they would pay dearly

“Have souardhouse, either buy out that idiot or silence hiht”

The one listening was the halfling that nodded and left right after the two other thieves Souards in the city were on their payroll so they could try paying for their guildthat the man would have to pay off with interest If they failed they would need to get hi place

None of the thieves would actually speak out on their own volition but there were certain skills that forced people to talk There were special inquisitor classes that could force people to speak the truth There were also special ic spells or even potions that could be used instead This was a hit related to the council of h e

“One uildand one of the beasto and carry out the mission

“That blacksmith brat that was involved, kill him, no loose ends”

He needed to silence both sides, the person from his camp could live if he was set free but this unknown person needed to die They also already accepted the mission by the customer and needed to carry out the request Otherwise, they would just have their good na but before they even left the roo happened They tere already tier 2 and even close to level hundred but even they couldn’t react in tiht flickered for just a htly see the shadows expanding He was the only one in the roo A shadowy hand reached out as his two guildout

The hand looked like it wasn’t part of this plane of existence It looked like it was coht The shade hand was holding a very real looking dagger It probably felt more real when it was pushed into the catwas a bit luckier as thanks to his small stature he was hard to hit

He rolled to the side after seeing a pointed tip going through one of his guild buddies He quickly tried flinging his throwing knives at the shadowy hand but before he could he felt so him from behind The two men were dead in a flash and no one could even react, the assailants soon revealed themselves while all dressed up in black leather

“Reinald the Razor? More like the idiot Your greed will be your downfall”

A woman’s voice came out fro sunk back into the shadows ready to strike The other two guards that were in the rooiant -sword

“Who are you, what do you want?”

Reinald’s eyes went red as he took out his enchanted set of daggers and was ready for a fight From the display of power he knew that this wohtly She also wasn’t alone, he could feel soht orking against him
