Broad World

The stronghold of the Harper Alliance in Askatla is located in the dock area. It is an old stone building close to the sea. If you are discovered, you can quickly create chaos and escape, and it is difficult to be caught by the enemy.

The masked man led Jahira to the gate, made a few secret gestures to the person guarding the gate, then pushed open the gate and walked in. As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately took off his hood and face scarf and said in a low voice: "Be careful with your tone when you report later, and don't be patient no matter what kind of questions they ask. This time they are all important people, and the specific identities will be determined." Even I don't know."

"Oh? Could it be the messenger? But I seem to have heard that no messenger has been appointed in this area. Lilac, don't pretend to be a ghost, we are old acquaintances, there is no need to be so secretive." Jasila While observing the weird atmosphere in the building, he tentatively said cautiously.

She could see that the {none}{wrong} .{[} situation in the room was very strange, especially those ordinary harper members, who stood motionless with their heads lowered almost like puppets, not only with solemn expressions, but also with hands All formed into a strange shape. The man named Lilac shook his head slightly: "No, Jasila, this is not my arrangement. Don't you understand? Some of the people who will be interrogated are even higher than the messenger , They are the true leaders of the Harper Alliance, and they dared to listen to your answer from afar. I have a hunch that earth-shattering events are about to happen on the main plane, far beyond your and my imagination."

"Higher than the Herald? Could it be Elminster or Kyle?" Finally, Jaheira could no longer keep his composure. There was a shocked and flustered expression on his face.

Although the Harper Alliance has always been known for its complex internal members and secretive actions. But the organizational structure is not as loose as the outside world imagines. Instead, it has a unique set of management and operation methods. The first is the leaders at the top, such as Elminster, Kelben, Lila, Alustri, etc., and some guys who have never been named. They are usually mainly responsible for receiving intelligence, picking out more important things to deal with, and rarely actually giving any orders.

Then it was the turn of the heralds. They are equivalent to the chief executives of an area. They not only manage a large number of harpers, but also can carry out strikes against evil targets by themselves, planning and launching infiltration, assassination, and intelligence theft. Responsible for most of the day-to-day work of the Harpers. Jasila couldn't imagine that he had attracted so much attention without saying anything, and he froze in place for a moment, his eyes full of disbelief. She wanted to open her mouth to ask for specific information several times, but she was suppressed by reason, and finally took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Obviously, as an ordinary harp player, she is not qualified to know too much. In order to prevent the infiltration of Zhentarim spies within the alliance, even members maintain a sense of mystery among themselves. Only after gaining the trust of the partner can it be possible to know the real name and origin of the other party, otherwise most of the time, only a code name or a pseudonym is used.

As for the leaders at the top, they didn't even show their faces. It is said that no more than ten people in the entire continent know their true identities, which shows how strict the secrecy is. It is these secrets that ensure the strength of the Harper Alliance. No one knows where they come from, what their goals are, and what actions they will take.

Master Harpers always appear suddenly when the situation is critical, and then disappear quickly after winning. Never show off, keep a low profile, just like Kelben Heizhang said: "Only do what is necessary, don't do a little more, and don't result in more than expected."…

There is no doubt that the gathering of so many high-level officials is definitely not for the disappearance of one or two members. Jasila was almost certain that they were definitely coming for Henry or Apodel, and only when the gods were involved would they attract the attention of so many high-level officials.

Following the stairs, the two quickly came to the study room on the second floor, and saw countless white translucent shadows dangling around. The most secret place of the entire base.

Seven hooded people sat around a table, their bodies completely covered by the wide cloak, and their gender and age could not be seen at all. Lilac didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took two steps forward and bowed slightly: "Jasila, the harpist, has been brought here. I brought her just after passing through the city gate, and she has never been in contact with any forces."

"Fine, you can leave now. We need an hour or two to talk, during which time no one can come to the second floor. Understand?". One of them raised his head slightly and said.

"Understood! Don't worry, I will personally guard the door to ensure that nothing unexpected happens." Saying this, Lilac saluted again, winked at Jaheira, and then quickly left and closed the door behind him. .

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the study room was once again silent. The seven of them sat quietly like this, watching Jaheira with eyes hidden in the hoods, and no one spoke first, as if they were examining a person's soul.

A few minutes later, the person sitting in the middle suddenly tapped on the table and said, "Okay, now I can confirm that there are no outsiders in this room, and the inquiry can begin."

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

...

When the last guy nodded in agreement, the first person to speak took out a golden harp-shaped brooch from his arms, with a strong magic aura flashing on it, even if he didn't need to detect it, he knew that this thing must be a powerful magic Items, and represent power and position within the Harper League.

"It's an honor to meet you, masters." Jaheira bowed deeply without hesitation. She recognizes the quality of the magic pin, which is only possible for senior members who have successfully completed extremely dangerous roles, represents honor, respect and trust, and is something that every member dreams of.

The person sitting in the middle smiled and waved his hands: "Relax. There is no need to be so nervous. We all know where you went when you disappeared. And we also know that you did not betray the Harper Alliance. This is just a more formal inquiry. The point is not you."

After hearing this sentence, Jaxila breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his tense face: "Understood, you want to know what happened during this underground trip. It's okay, please feel free to ask Well, whether it's about Henry, or Aberdell, or Imoen. I will answer truthfully."

"No, child, you haven't realized the seriousness of the problem. Leaving aside the importance of the two sons of Baal, the human named Henry Angomey alone has caused the entire main plane, and even the gods Shake, even the demons and demons in the lower planes are proclaiming this name. Now, tell us, what did he do when he was underground?" The person sitting in the middle asked with a slightly excited voice. Obviously, this matter made him quite nervous, and the old hand was always clenched very tightly.

The other person next to him nodded in agreement: "That's right, you must say as much detail as possible. Don't make any omissions. We need to conduct an assessment to confirm how dangerous this person is and whether it is enough to threaten the entire world. caused damage to the balance of God. Because after you left the ground, the world of the gods fell into turmoil and unrest, especially the Church of the Lost Lady Shar began to attack the believers of the Goddess of Magic and the Goddess of the Moon uncharacteristically on a large scale. There must be a dark secret."  …

"Please rest assured that I have obtained the consent of Henry himself before coming here. He does not intend to hide anything, so I will start to describe the entire adventure experience. Of course, this is only the part of my experience. As for the missing If you want to know, you can ask him himself." After speaking, Jaheira took a deep breath, and in a low, emotionless voice, told about the time since he was arrested and sent to the Arcatraz. Everything that ever happened.

The description spit out from her mouth is extremely accurate, without any exaggeration and at the same time, there is no shortage, people can understand the power of those spells, viruses and the final (nuclear) explosion, it is completely a standard harp Hand made pie.

The whole process lasted for more than an hour, and when the last word was finished, the study fell into silence again. Everyone is digesting and considering the information just now. They were completely shocked by what Henry did, especially when they heard the part about the virus, everyone trembled involuntarily, and when it came to the part about killing the incarnation of the god, everyone's breathing became heavy and short, Some cheeks were even dripping with sweat.

No doubt they were nervous and frightened. Jaheira could understand the feeling, so she didn't say a word. In fact, she herself is similar now, the heart in her chest has been beating rapidly, the blood circulation in the whole body is intensified, the pores are sweating uncontrollably, and the clothes she wears inside the armor have long been soaked.

After more than ten minutes, the guy sitting in the middle took a deep breath and said in a very hoarse voice: "Thank you very much for the information, Jasila. It is very precious, precious enough to use any of us A person's life is exchanged. From now on, you will be promoted to a master harpist, temporarily responsible for observing and recording Henry Angomey's daily behavior, we need to know his personality traits and tendencies towards good and evil."

Hearing that he had been promoted to a master, Jasila's face flashed with joy, and he hurriedly bowed solemnly: "Thank you, this is my honor, even if there is no order, I will continue to do so."

"Be careful, powerful evil has shrouded you and your companions." One of the relatively short people reminded.

"Okay, that's the end of the inquiry, you can go back. Try your best to live such an exciting adventure, I believe you are tired, take a good rest, if there is any need, we will send someone to be in charge." The person sitting in the middle Finally, he knocked on the table to announce the end of the meeting.

Before Jasila had time to say goodbye, his eyes blurred for an instant, and he appeared in the lobby on the first floor. She shook her dizzy head a little, and immediately realized that she was forcibly teleported out of the study on the second floor. Clearly, the leaders have some important things to discuss and don't want to let anyone know.
