Now that the harbor master was dead, Kong owed me. I defeated a guard on my way, stole an artifact, and secured a grand auction invitation from Kong. After briefing with Rebekah and Roshan, I met Roshan near the souq to prepare an undercover assassination targeting the Treasurer.
Now that the harbor master was dead, Kong owed me, and he should give me a way to enter the grand auction. So I had to return to Kong, but on my way, I had to stop seeing a guard on a wall who was watching around closely to keep anyone from trespassing.
I called Enkidu to see if I can use the bard to distract him, like Bayek does with Senu in his game, but I couldn't. So I climbed up and I took him down in a melee attack before he could alert the neighborhood.
And then I jumped off that wall to get a shortcut down to the lower alleyways, and this scene looked dope, right?
On my way through the dying factory, I noticed an old man was carrying a Dervis's artifact in his belt pouch, so I borrowed it from him. No, actually I stole it with a quick pickpocketing maneuver while he was looking away.
Then I reached the crowded bazaar and went for Kong's stall, where I should find him among his goods. After getting in, Basim found him frightened with a stick in his hand, ready to defend himself from any sudden threats.
After a brief conversation, Kong gave Basim an invitation to the auction, suggesting him not to ask him where he got it from, unless he wants lies. We knew someone influential is looking for the hairpin, and the grand auction is the only chance left.
So before going there, I had to meet Rebekah and Roshan at the bureau to update them on my progress. Roshan left us after the briefing, asking me to meet her near the souq, and I was ready for the next phase.
So I also left the bureau, and ran to the spot through the winding paths. And it looked like the souq was actually near the bazaar, or maybe it's their secret language of the bazaar to keep outsiders confused.
After reaching Roshan, she told me the plan which was entering the auction as a merchant, wishing to bid on exotic artifacts. The goal was to obtain the hairpin from the auction to attract anyone who is after it.
Roshan even gave me the task to assassinate the target who we were after for so long, and then she left me. She mentioned silence is better for the wise, and how much more so for fools, leaving me to contemplate her words.
After Roshan left, Enkidu sat on Basim's hand and Basim asked her if they needed luck, as Roshan wished them luck before leaving.
Then Basim talked about the masked man, who is known as the treasurer, who let me know some details of a target, as I would need to assassinate this one next.
Until next time, happy gaming.
