Chapter 290: Akhmar's Beard
But how can we find the headquarters of "Legacy of the God-King" and how can we know the meeting time of the leader in advance?
Harold reviewed the plot in his mind and immediately set his sights on Dishia's adoptive father, Kusela.
In the original plot, Kusela was forced to leave a letter of allegiance under the threat of the "Legacy of the God-King" and joined the "Legacy of the God-King", becoming the leader of the "Ahmar's Beard", a mercenary group affiliated with the "Legacy of the God-King". Later, he picked up Dishia, who was still a baby, and treated her as his own daughter.
All mercenaries who stayed in the "Legacy of the God-King" had to leave a piece of evidence as a token of their loyalty. Kusela did not want Dishia's hands to be stained with the blood of innocent people, and strictly prohibited his mercenary group from robbing innocent caravans, and only targeted mercenary groups belonging to the "Legacy of the God-King".
However, because of this, he was always unable to hand in the full amount of money when the leaders of the various mercenary groups were summoned at the headquarters of "Legacy of the God-King", so he was always punished by the headquarters. His health deteriorated due to the endless beatings, and later he even had a limp in one leg.
After accompanying Dixia to grow into a capable mercenary, secretly arranging everything for Dixia and paving a bright road for her,
He finally let go of all his worries and blew up the headquarters of "Legacy of the God-King" during a leaders' meeting, dying together with all the leaders attending the meeting.
Kusela's action dealt a heavy blow to the "Legacy of the God-King", and many mercenaries who were forced to join took the opportunity to break free from the control of the "Legacy of the God-King".
But a centipede is still alive even after its death. Although the "Legacy of the God-King" has lost its leader, its main force is still there. The affiliated mercenary groups have quickly or slowly elected new leaders and rebuilt their headquarters.
After Kusela's death, the members of "Ahmar's Beard" could have taken advantage of the turmoil to regain their freedom, but they did not want Kusela's sacrifice to be in vain, so they did not disband the mercenary group. Instead, they retained the mercenary group and continued to fight against other affiliated mercenary groups of "Legacy of the God-King".
The remaining forces of "The Legacy of the God-King" were not eliminated until the timeline when the Dishia legendary mission was launched, that is, after the end of the Xumi main storyline. The efforts of "Ahmar's Beard" over the years and the address of the headquarters they provided made outstanding contributions to the success of the eradication operation.
At this point in time, Dishia's adoptive father Kusela should still be alive. He is the leader of "Ahmar's Beard" and knows the location of the headquarters!
But how to contact him and how to convince him to cooperate is another big problem.
But Harold, who was familiar with the plot, was not bothered by it. He first found his best friend Dolly, and then asked her to find a merchant named Shazaman and provide them with an opportunity to meet.
Shazaman, also known as Shazaman Humayi, is the father of Miss Dinazedai who is protected by Dishia in the main storyline of Xumi.
He has an ambiguous relationship with Kusela, Dishia's adoptive father. A desert mercenary leader and a rainforest merchant, they seem to have no intersection, but the two actually knew each other when Dina Zede and Dishia were still babies.
It was a secret arrangement between the two that Dishiya would become Dina Zedai's bodyguard, with the aim of ensuring Dishiya's safety and giving her a reasonable salary.
So if you want to contact Kusela, Shazaman is the key.
When Dolly heard the name "Shazaman" from Haroldt, her eyes rolled and the portrait of this man immediately appeared in her mind.
The relationship between merchants was extremely close, and Dolly was the leader of the Xumi merchants. It was not difficult for her to contact Shazaman and ask him to give her face and talk to Harold alone. So she did Harold a favor and didn't even charge any introduction fee.
Harold soon got what he wanted. He chose Dolly's tavern as the meeting place with Shazaman.
Three months ago, in a private room on the second floor of the tavern, Shazaman sat opposite Harold. This businessman, who was over fifty years old, felt a little confused but also a little expectant.
He was curious as to why this genius scholar who was famous in the Church Order Institute specifically asked for him. He was looking forward to it because he knew that this person had provided Master Dolly with many ideas and made her earn a lot of money.
Shazaman hoped that Harold came to discuss business with him this time, or to develop him into Dolly's confidant so that he would have the opportunity to access more business secrets.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Humayi. I invited you here to talk to you about Dishiya," said Harold.
Shazaman's calm face flashed with obvious surprise. What? Dishiya? Why did he suddenly talk about Dishiya? Did he know about my relationship with her father?
Harold pretended not to notice his misstep and continued:
"Before Dishia came to the rainforest, she was raised by her father, but she seldom talked about her family. I only learned about this when I asked her about her interpersonal relationships.
I was surprised that her father was actually the leader of the mercenary group 'Ahmar's Beard' affiliated with 'The Legacy of the God King'. We businessmen should all know what this name symbolizes: plunder, bloodshed, and losing everything..."
Harold paused here. Shazaman couldn't figure out what Harold was up to, so he had to go along with what he said, saying that he also hated the "Legacy of the God-King" so much and wished that all these bastards would disappear.
Harold nodded with satisfaction and continued, "I'm glad that we have similar views. Letting these people sleep in the sea of sand and serve their gods in hell is the best compensation for the people they robbed.
But this is difficult. Fortunately, I have learned from various channels that the leaders of the "Legacy of the God King" will gather at the headquarters at a specific time and hand over a certain share of "income". As long as we can find their headquarters and blow it up, we can catch all the leaders in one fell swoop.
We can organize our forces and defeat them one by one when the God-King's Legacy falls into panic and chaos."
The more Shazaman listened, the more frightened he became. He was shocked that this seemingly gentle scholar in front of him could have planned such a "terrorist attack" so casually, and that Harold was obviously serious.
But Shazaman quickly recovered from his shock, and thinking about the man's title and his notoriety, things seemed to make sense again.
"Well, thank you for sharing these with me. It's a really exciting plan. But I'm afraid I can only provide you with some financial assistance..." Shazaman coughed lightly and said.
Harold stopped playing cryptic games and said directly, "You know the leader of 'Ahmar's Beard'. You approached him either to obtain information to protect the Humayi family's caravan or for some other reason.
I don't want to pursue this, nor will I make it public, but I want to get in touch with the brigade leader. Can you help me?"
Hearing this, Shazaman could no longer maintain his outward calm. He took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from his forehead. While hiding his panic, he brainstormed on what to say next.
Harold considerately gave Shazaman time to think, while he drank his tea leisurely.
That's it. This is the benefit of knowing the plot of the game. Who said playing O God is shameful? !
