The Teahouse Investigation.

Leaving Alii behind, I synchronized Jarjaraya's lone viewpoint and pickpocketed a Dervis' artifact. Investigating the missing rebels, I bribed a town elder for information, forcefully sobered a drunkard in the lake for a lead on vanished slaves, and followed the teahouse owner to a rooftop for a fresh contact.

I left Ali behind while I had to look for intel from a nearby teahouse, where tea drinkers talk. And I noticed Ali was like prepared for a war behind me, checking his weapon straps with a grim expression.

Well, ignoring the fact that I was going to the teahouse, the first thing I did was climbing up the tower and I spooked some pigeons. Because I just noticed this is the only viewpoint of this entire city that I must have synchronized with.

Synchronizing with the viewpoint not only gave me fast travel to the city, but also gave me some intel of the location. And then I just tried a quick leap of faith from the tower, diving seamlessly into a haystack below.

While I was getting to the teahouse, I noticed there was a man carrying a Dervis' artifact that I stole from him on my way. And it looked like I have enough of Dervis' artifacts to obtain a reward.

After getting to the teahouse, I noticed there was an elder who was one of my targets. So I waited for him as he was talking to someone. And then I had to bribe him offering a token, so he'd give me the little information he had.

Then I found this civilian who was drunk and talking gibberish, laying beside a lake. And Basim understood he might talk if I can sober him. So I threw him into the lake next.

Yeah, this man was sober enough after thrown into the lake. And then he gave Basim a key information that the slaves are not just missing, they are disappeared. Mentioning last night, two of his did not come back from the fields. No one saw anything, they just disappeared.

When I was looking for people to talk, suddenly this man called for me, as he had something to talk, and he mentioned he didn't want to talk there, as there are too many ears.

Then I followed the man, who is actually the teahouse owner, and I followed him on a close by roof. And after reaching there, he gave me information about a family, where the husband was one of those executed, and the son has gone missing as well.

Until next time, happy gaming.
