At this time, at the end of a side road about 50 or 60 meters to the right of the corner where Qin Lun was, two masked guards each had a long silver arrow inserted into their foreheads.
The long arrow pierced through two stone walls in a short span of tens of meters, and when it appeared in the eyes of the two, it was less than ten meters away, and finally pierced through their heads, shooting these two powerful fighters to death on the spot.
The guard covered his face behind a mask, his eyes were blank, and he didn't realize where the danger came from until he died. The two guards stood still for a few seconds, holding the scimitar tightly in their hands, and fell straight forward.
At this moment, water-like ripples appeared in the shadow of the passage, and a black shadow rushed out like lightning, and rushed towards the two corpses. When the black shadow fell, it was holding the collar of a corpse in its mouth, and another corpse was just lying on its back.
Venus and Qin Lun share the same mind and are very intelligent. At this time, it happened to help the master finish the finishing work, and the two corpses did not make too much noise.
The Shadow Storm Leopard dragged the two corpses to the corner of the passage, and then merged into the darkness again, sneaking towards the gate guarded by the two guards. At the same time, Qin Lun's figure also appeared at the fork in the road, and he ran lightly, taking back the magic mithril arrow that shot the two guards to death.
The Shadow Gale Leopard who sneaked into the gate of the fork did not send a warning. Qin Lun passed the fork without hesitation and broke into the place guarded by the two guards. To his surprise, the front is not a passage, but a secret room of about one hundred square meters.
Qin Lun quickly looked at the empty secret room. At this time, Hill and Rand had already activated the ground, and he didn't have much time to waste.
On the left and right sides of the secret room, there are a row of standing lampposts. This is a chest-high slender lamp holder made of precious metals, with half-meter-long candles inserted on it. It looks solemn and gorgeous. It is usually a sacrificial utensil for churches. .
It's just that in this dark secret room, the flickering candlelight of the lamp post swayed slightly with the shadows, but it made people feel a weird atmosphere.
Qin Lun looked away from both sides, and landed on the small altar set up directly in front of the secret room, where a bronze statue of a god was enshrined. Seeing this bust statue, which was more than one foot high, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
The statue is a bust of a blue-green female holding a trident, a tunic made of shells carved on the bronze statue, and a purple cloak woven from jellyfish. Her fingertips have claws and hands Elbows have fins, eyes are two white pearls, and hair is dark green seaweed.
"Antanari... murloc language, I should have thought of it a long time ago, this is the secret stronghold of the Church of Ambori." Qin Lun muttered to himself, and when he mentioned Ambori's god name, he deliberately lowered his head so as not to look at it A bust of the god so as not to attract the attention of the gods.
At the beginning, Qin Lun followed the envoys of the Sun Elf to retrace the ancient road. He spent a long time with the learned Sun Elf prince Mileras, and asked him a lot of secrets about the continent of Faerun, and also a lot about the gods of the mainland. knowledge.
At that time, he was in order to increase his world exploration speed, and later realized that he might obtain a world token, so he asked more actively, just to prepare for re-entering Toril.
Amberley is a goddess of the sea with medium divine power. The Kingdom of God is located in the Heart of Rage, and she is one of the gods of Rage. The leader of the gods in this pantheon is Talos, the god of storms and disasters, and the overall alignment is chaotic and evil.
The goddess Amberley, also known as the Poor Queen, is vicious, violent, and evil by nature. She is the nightmare in the hearts of sailors and coastal residents all over the world.
She often breaks promises as she pleases, watching ships being swallowed by the sea, throwing voyagers into the sea to drown, and taking pleasure in it. She is extremely vain, loves to hear flattery, is also committed to the pursuit of more power, and is keen to display violence.
She created the shark lycanthropes, the only race that truly worships and praises her. The other sailors and navigators who donated to her were just mortals who feared her power and wished for a safe journey at sea.
Because the goddess of the sea is capricious and often breaks promises, the port cities along the sword coast of Faerun have extremely complicated attitudes towards her.
On the one hand, people hate the chaotic evil of the goddess of the sea, and instead pray to Suren and Valkur, who also have the priesthood of navigation and naval warfare. On the other hand, they feared and feared the power of the goddess of the sea, so they had to donate a lot of money to her pastor before going to sea.
The pastors of the Amberley Church have two completely different statuses in coastal cities like Baldur's Gate, Calimshan, and Askatra.
The port city basically does not allow the Church of Amberley to set up temples in the city, so the believers of Amberley can only let the temples be built on the relatively remote coast on the side of the harbor, or reef caves half below sea level.
However, when there is a large fleet going to sea at the port, the fleet welcomes Pastor Umberley to accompany him, hoping that Queen Poor can give them a safe journey for the sake of her believers.
The Church of Amberley set up its stronghold in the city, which obviously does not meet the official requirements of Baldur's Gate, so Qin Lun and others' previous judgment was correct. After this place is exposed, at least they will not be hunted by the city guards.
Most city gangsters wouldn't help an Umberley church, because the Polar Queen was capricious, and wouldn't stop taking their donations for a small favor.
However, this realization did not make Qin Lun feel much easier. On the contrary, his expression became even uglier.
People don't take the initiative to help the Ambowley Church, but it doesn't mean that the Ambowley Church is easier to mess with. Among all the churches of the gods, the Amberley Church is second only to the Church of Light and the Church of the God of Wealth in terms of wealth.
Don't look at the shrines that the Ambowry Church set up on remote coasts are mostly dilapidated, but the donations donated to them by the fleets and chambers of commerce along the Sword Coast every year are astronomical. The Amberley Church has enough financial resources to hire a group of legendary professionals to hunt down Qin Lun and the others to the ends of the earth.
"Get out of here before the high-ranking priests of the church come back!"
Qin Lun thought about it, turned around and found the corpses of the two guards who had been dragged into the corner by Venus, took off the masks and black robes on their faces, and took the guard's scimitar, intending to cover himself up a bit.
"Hey, it's no wonder they are all wearing masks and black robes. So they are not human." After taking off the guard's mask, Qin Lun discovered that these two tall guys had cyan scales on their faces and long hairs on both sides of their heads. With fish gills, it turned out to be a kind of amphibious murloc he didn't know.
Qin Lun put on a mask and a black robe for himself, unfolded his figure, and swept towards another corridor opposite the secret room. He didn't know if there were guards on the opposite side, but with this outfit and the Shadow Storm Leopard, at least he could give him a chance to sneak attack first.
"Hill, Rand, be careful not to reveal your identity, and don't use too strong iconic skills. This is the stronghold of the Church of Amberley... Well, I will explain the details of this sea god and the church to you when I get out." Run away During the period, he did not forget to remind the other two companions.
"Listening to that kid's tone, why do I feel like I've fallen into a pit!" Rand, who was setting the fire, smiled wryly at Hill.
"Just get used to it!" Hill smiled without changing his expression.
When the two received Qin Lun's message, they immediately started to destroy the carriage shop. They didn't kill people indiscriminately this time, they just used Rand's ability to set fire to the huge carriage house.
The carriage house was full of dry hay, and it was difficult to contain the fire once it started. In addition, the large livestock in the carriage house were affected by the smoke and began to turmoil, and the entire carriage shop fell into chaos.
The reason why Qin Lun was able to sneak into the underground secret room so smoothly was because all the senior priests who were there were lured away by the fire on the ground.
"Stop!" However, Qin Lun's luck seemed to have run out. When he was not far from the secret room, several masked guards holding torches walked up to him. The leader wore a bronze sheep's mask and said in a hoarse voice, "You What are you doing here, come with me!"
After finishing speaking, the bronze sheep face stopped paying attention to him, turned around and entered a side road on the right.
Qin Lun tightened his palm holding the scimitar, and secretly made a quiet gesture to the Shadow Gale Leopard sneaking behind, and followed several masked guards calmly.
Following behind these guards, Qin Lun smelled a faint smell of fish in his nostrils. Obviously, these masked guards were not human beings, but some kind of marine humanoid race.
This made him secretly glad that he had some unpleasant smell on his body, otherwise, the guards would have discovered the identity of the outsider long ago. Following the four masked guards, Qin Lun was quickly led to a cold and dry place by them.
"Priest Rhodes said that the fire on the ground seemed to be caused by someone deliberately causing trouble. Baldur's Gate may have discovered this church stronghold." The bronze sheep face pointed to a dark room in front and said, "We need to transfer the contents to the ship. Go, these are offerings to the Goddess in the next ritual, and must not be left to worldly greed."
"Sacrifice?" Qin Lun's eyes behind the mask lit up slightly. Although the goddess of pungentness belonged to the chaotic and evil camp, the sacrifices were all property, and it was not like some evil gods who performed blood sacrifices.
The three of them seem to be short of some gold coins before embarking on a mission adventure. When Hill and Rand were mopping up the little gangsters, they took some things by hand. It's just that those local ruffians don't have much property on them, it's only enough for them to pay for a few meals.
As soon as he walked into this small dark room, Qin Lun couldn't help being taken aback. There were more than a dozen treasure chests stacked randomly on the ground, most of which were not locked, and the open mouth of the chest was illuminated by the torches, reflecting the precious metals and jewels.
Qin Lun even saw a pile of magic crystal cores, a bundle of ancient parchment scrolls and a mithril scepter half buried in a pile of gold coins under a certain half-open jewelry box. The huge amethyst on the top of the staff exudes brilliance, which seems to make the whole room start to shine.
"What are you still doing?" Bronze Sheep scolded Qin Lun with some dissatisfaction when he saw Qin Lun standing still.
"Hehe, I was thinking how to thank you!" Qin Lun raised his head, revealing a bright and charming smile behind the mask.
