The Mercies of Knowledge - I.

12 days ago

I've explored almost he whole St. Denis already before getting to Shady Belle but I never found all these side quests that I've been noticing nowadays. The side quest I'm abut talk about today was in total four parts but I'll finish the story in two posts.

When I was looking for a side quest around here, that man called me and asked Arthur if he know where he can find some moonshine. When he said he needed about a hundred galloons of shines, that excited Arthur as he understood he could get good payment for it.

Arthur knew if anyone knows who's moving that kind of shine, it'll be the stagecoach guy Rhodes so I decided to travel to Rhodes though last time I checked, no one in the gang should visit Rhodes after the incident they had over there but I tried to check luck so I went to the rail station of St. Denis and I booked a train ticket to Rhodes.

This train journey is always a pleasure as it doesn't need a long time to travel from one place to another and besides I don't lose stamina and I don't have to meet any extra activities like Bounty Hunters on my way.

After reaching the rail station of Rhodes, I went to the stagecoach and I had to pay him for the info of a wagon full of moonshine and the man gave me a paper note.

It got confused as I was not finding the correct note in the satchel but at last I found it and it says I should look for a wagon coming south if I reach the bridge in Bluewater Marsh, North of Saint Denis.

I took the train again to get to Saint Denis but I didn't do it right away. I did the side quest that I talked about in my previous post in the meantime and then I decided to get back to Saint Denis.

I didn't know about the location so I was just riding following North following the map, after reaching Saint Denis and suddenly these guys shouted at me and asked me to stop so I just stopped and went back to them and they started attacking me.

I'm not sure but maybe I had past enmity with them or maybe I beat them up somewhere in the past. Now that they were pushing me to make my hands dirty, I beat them in good time stopping the tram and I knocked all of them down.

Then I kept riding North and it was time of sunrise when I reached the right bridge in Bluewater Marsh and I even noticed a wagon along with some guards were coming towards me.

They stopped and asked me to move out of their way. I could mislead them or I could directly go for robbing them and I didn't waste any time so I just asked them to give me the wagon and leave in peace.

They started shooting me and when they were leaving the bridge, one of the rider fell under the wagon that killed some of them and I took care of the others.

Then I drove the wagon full of moonshine to that man who came out and said he's Professor Andrew Bell when Arthur asked for the payment. Bill started talking other things as if he was not giving Arthur any payment for this help.
