Chapter 116: Invitation from Alastriol

When Henry returned to the lord's mansion, he found a beautiful carriage parked at the door, with seven blue and white stars engraved on the gorgeous door, and most importantly, the carriage was not pulled by a horse. As a mage, he quickly recognized the mark on the door, which was the holy emblem of the Church of the Goddess of Magic.

"Strange, I remember that there doesn't seem to be a temple for this goddess in the city." Henry muttered as he walked, and he couldn't figure out what was going on after thinking about it for a long time.

The butler greeted him as soon as he entered the door, and he leaned into Henry's ear and whispered: "Count, there is a mage named Ten Leishu. Horned Blade visiting. I have invited him to the living room. Your wife is chatting with him."

Hearing the name Henry frowned subconsciously. As far as he knew, this person was the personal advisor of the Lord of Silvermoon, Ms. Elastrow, and also served as the captain of the Magic Guard. A sudden arrival of someone with such a strong background, let's hope it's not bad news.

"Understood, I'll go over now. You prepare dinner, remember to make it richer." Henry walked towards the living room after speaking.

When Shikodi saw her husband, she immediately stood up and said to the mage sitting next to her, "Mr. Tenn, this is my husband Henry."

After hearing this, Tenn immediately stood up and saluted. "Hello, Mr. Earl, I'm an emissary from Silvermoon City. You can call me Tun. I didn't expect you to be so young. You must know that in the taverns of Silvermoon City, it is widely sung that you captured the city of dark elves underground and prevented the invasion of the demon lord."

Hearing his words, Henry smiled wryly and shook his head. "You're flattering me. I just sneaked into the city of the dark elves and collected some information. It was the Helast black robe that really captured the city. It was the Kelben couple who stopped the demon lord from invading."

Tenn smiled and shook his head. "Anyway, you have contributed a lot. And you came to this beautiful city. I found that the citizens here live well, and the law and order are quite good. These are enough to prove that you are a person who advocates order and kindness."

With a smile on his face, Henry said to Ten in a joking tone: "Oh! Mr. Special Envoy, if you continue to praise me like this, I'm afraid I'm going to float into the sky."

"Hahahaha, Mr. Earl, you are really humorous. Alright, let's get to the point now. I heard that you have established an alliance with Waterdeep City?" After laughing, Tenn asked his own question.

"Yes, we signed a covenant with Waterdeep City a few months ago. But does it have anything to do with Silvermoon City?" Henry asked with some doubts.

Tenn smiled and took out an invitation card from his body and handed it over. "That's right. After hearing about your deeds, Ms. Elastre was very interested in you. She asked me to invite you to participate in the Harvest Celebration held in Silvermoon City in autumn."

Henry was stunned after receiving the invitation. Although he already knew Lila, one of the Seven Northland Sisters, he was still very shocked when he heard the news. Elastra Silverhand is an extremely respectable lady, she has been working non-stop for her own goal, her dream is to build a city where different races can coexist peacefully.

After hundreds of years of hard work, the current Moon City Federation has become the largest alliance in the northern region. Its main towns are Silvermoon City, Fort Adaba, Fort Fairbar, Dead Snow Town, Evolen, Demi Silver Hall, Quelva, and Sundabar, with a total population of more than one million.

After thinking for a while, Henry decided to meet the legendary lady. After all, those who can persevere for hundreds of years for their own dreams are worthy of respect. And by the way, you can also visit the famous magic school in Silvermoon City. I heard that some more advanced education systems have been adopted there. If it is true, I will learn it and use it in my own college area.

After figuring it out, Henry said to Tenn: "It's a great honor to accept the invitation of Ms. Elastra. I will set off in September and arrive in Silvermoon City in about a month."

After seeing Henry agreeing, Tenn smiled happily. "That would be great. Then I can show you around the beautiful Silvermoon City. There are ancient trees, towering towers and beautifully curved stone sculptures everywhere. Every corner and balcony is dotted with bonsai gardens. Pegasus carries riders patrolling high above the sky. Music and laughter can often be heard on the streets. There are also many charming shops full of maps, books, small magic items and beautiful things in the city."

Hearing his introduction, Shikodi had a yearning expression on her face, and she raised her head and asked Ten: "It's so beautiful to hear your description, can I go and see it with you?"

"Of course my beautiful lady, I welcome you on behalf of Yin Yuecheng." After speaking, Ten stood up and bowed. "Count, since the invitation letter has been sent, I will leave without disturbing you."

Henry also stood up and looked at the sky outside. "Stay here for dinner before leaving. I have asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of special dishes here. I guarantee that you will be full of praise after eating."

Tenn smiled and waved his hand. "Thank you for your kindness, but I have to hurry back. You must know that the lycanthropes in the Moon Forest are not very peaceful during this period. They always want to attack the surrounding villages. I have to go back and take charge of setting up the defense line. I am really sorry."

Henry nodded in understanding. "Since that's the case, I won't do more to keep you. I hope your return journey goes smoothly." After speaking, he took his wife and sent the guests to the gate. Ten stepped into the carriage and waved to them. Then the entire carriage flickered with a strong magical aura, and flew directly to the northeast.

Shikodi stared obsessively at the carriage going away. After a while, she turned her head and asked her husband: "Honey, I can't wait now. It's still a few months before the departure, and I don't know how to live the next day."

Henry gently held his wife in his arms. "Don't worry, we still need to organize people to harvest grain and spices during this time. We will start immediately after everything is done, otherwise Hawk alone can't do so much work."

Shikodi sighed, followed Henry back to the living room listlessly. The sumptuous dinner was ready soon, but Lily was the only one sitting at the dining table besides the couple. As for Lina, she had already lived in the Mage Tower and only came back once a week.

Seeing this situation, the butler walked to Henry and asked, "Count, where are our guests?"

"The guests were in a hurry to go back, so they left early. There are only a few of us tonight, and we can start serving food now." After speaking, Henry glanced at his wife who was still a little frustrated. The butler nodded, turned around and waved his hand, and began to serve the servants.

Lily soon noticed that Shikodi's interest was not high. She glanced at her son and asked, "What's going on with her? Did you two quarrel?"

Henry smiled and winked at his wife, and Shikodi burst out laughing when he saw it. "We didn't quarrel. It's just that an envoy from Silvermoon City came in the afternoon. He described the scenery there so beautifully. It makes me wish I could fly over there now and take a good look."

"An envoy from Silvermoon City? Henry, are you going away again?"

"Yes, Mom, Ms. Elastra sent an invitation letter. I plan to take Shikodi to take a look after the autumn harvest in the territory. Why are you also interested?" Henry asked his mother while eating.

Lily thought for a while, then shook her head. "Forget it, the journey is too far. And I have adapted to the warm climate here, I'm afraid the north in October will not be able to bear it."

Henry thought about it for a while and thought so, after all, his mother is not young anymore. The fatigue and cold along the way were not a small burden for her. After eating, Henry sent his wife to the room, and came to the study alone. He found a map of the north from the bookshelf and spread it on the desk. After looking carefully for a while, I soon found Silvermoon City on it.

Now he needs to find a safe and fast way. After all, Shikodi is just an ordinary person, and she will be easily injured if something dangerous happens. Taking a closer look, Henry decided to take the water route. First drive the boat directly into the Desharin River next to Waterdeep City, then pass through Taya, and drive all the way into Silvermoon City along the Sebrin River. This route is safe and fast, the only drawback is that the boat should not be too big. Otherwise, it is easy to run aground in places where the river is not deep.

Henry drew the course of action on it, and put away the entire map. Then he began to seriously prepare for tomorrow's spells and divine spells. After all, this is a door-to-door negotiation, and there is a high possibility of conflict with the Harper Alliance. Considering that there is such a helper as Robert, he chose to focus on control and protection. After preparing the spell, Henry returned to the bedroom. He saw that his wife was asleep and did not disturb her. Just undress and go to bed.

The next morning, Henry got up early, and after a simple breakfast, he went straight to the Thieves Union. When he arrived, Robert was already waiting at the door.

"Let's go now, remember not to do anything unless it is absolutely necessary." Henry glanced at the heavily armed thief leader and warned.

Robert touched the weapon on his waist and nodded. "Please rest assured, generally speaking, I will not use a knife to solve problems that can be solved with words. Unless the other party draws out a weapon first, I will not do it first."

The two walked along the street to the secret base of the Harper Alliance, and half an hour later, they came to an ordinary two-story building. Henry raised his head to observe and asked: "This is it? It seems to be very ordinary, and there is nothing special. How did you find this place?"

Robert walked over and pointed to a symbol in the corner. "There is a sign of their contact here, and I discovered it by accident at that time." )
