Broad World

Chapter 175 The Second Coming of Luskan

Henry is very satisfied with these two super powerful magic items. Three shots of disintegration per day are enough to deal with most powerful enemies, and the crossbow's ability to resist petrification is also very good. At least in the future, there is no need to waste spell slots when encountering magical creatures such as petrified lizards. He put the staff and crossbow on his belt, and turned on the system casually.

You have completed the task of the winter wolf: kill the two white dragons that are raging in the north, and get 200,000 experience points.

Henry Angomey. Occupation: Mage Level 13 13076131500000, Druid Level 13 13076121500000

3rd-level spell slots, 5+1

4th-level spell slots, 4+1

5th-level spell slots, 4

6th-level spell slots, 2+1

The experience points of killing the white dragon and the task rewards have raised Henry's mage profession by one level again. Now that he has enough spell slots, it's time to go back to the Mage Tower to digest the gains of this adventure. It is time for some technologies on the earth to be used on a large scale.

Opening the map left by Vaughan when he left, Henry probably found his location. He sat on the shoulders of the golem and drove for two weeks against the biting cold wind before he finally saw the giant cone of Kane rising slowly in the distance. He suffered a lot along the way. Not only were he often attacked by various monsters and wild beasts, but there were also various sudden natural disasters.

The tall golem walked quickly, and it didn't take long to arrive at the gate of Bryn Shande. The guards held the spears in their hands nervously, and it was obvious that the golems had put a lot of pressure on them. Henry jumped down and smiled at these guys, then turned the golem back into a book. "Don't be nervous, this is just my guard and transportation." He walked up to the guard and threw a few gold coins.

A guy who looks like the captain catches the gold coin. He stood up and smiled bitterly and said to Henry: "Mr. Mage, I hope you don't use this big guy in the city. This is not the south, and both spellcasters and magic items are very rare. Such a big golem can easily cause panic. I don't want to see riots in the city."

"Don't worry, I'm here to find my companions. Did you see a group of barbarians coming here a few days ago? The leader should be a half-orc warrior, and there was a big brown bear among them." Henry assured the guards and took the opportunity to ask about Vaughan's recent situation.

"A large group of barbarians?" The captain thought for a while with his head down. "Oh! I remembered. They came to town a few weeks ago, and they're supposed to be living in the alleys of the West End by now. These guys are not easy to mess with, and the thieves and robbers there want to make trouble, and they end up getting beaten up."

Henry left the city gate after getting the information he wanted, and walked in the direction pointed by the captain. Along the way, I dismissed a few pickpockets and solicitors, and soon saw a big brown bear basking in the sun in the yard. After seeing him, Ares happily ran over and let out a short growl.

"Haha, okay, okay." Henry patted his animal companion on the head, and shouted into the room: "Vaughan! Zuwosa! I'm back!"

After a few seconds, the door was pushed open, and the orc warrior rushed out and gave him a hug. "Boss, you're back. In a few days, we're all planning to head north to see if we can be of any help."

"Welcome back, how is the matter with the winter wolf resolved?" Zuwotha asked with a smile and a hug.

"They're all dead, including the two white dragons, the tribe of frost giants, and all the winter wolves." After speaking, Henry asked Vaughn, "How's your tribe doing? I heard from the guard at the city gate that you've beaten away a lot of bandits and hooligans recently."

The orc warrior sighed. "My people can't adapt to the life here at all. They drink alcohol and fight all day long. They don't have any sense of honor that barbarians should have."

Henry stopped and looked at Vaughan and asked, "What are you going to do? Send them back to the wilderness to let them go hunting again? Or are you going to bring them back to the territory for training?"

"Take it back to the territory. Since you are the chief, you have to be responsible to them to the end. But my father is a big problem. He will definitely not go to the south with us." Vaughn said with a sad face. Henry shook his head helplessly, and he had nothing to do with such a stubborn old man.

They rested here for two days, during which time the half-orc warriors announced the news of the family's migration. Except for the old chiefs and a small number of stubborn conservatives who insisted on staying, most people are willing to follow the new chiefs to live in the south. Vaughn gave the men a lot of money to join other tribes or stay in town.

On the third day, more than a thousand barbarians walked out of Bryn Shander with their families. Full of hope, they headed towards Luskan, where they were to sail to their new homeland. Vaughn waved to his father. The two of them talked for a long time last night. Although they almost fought in the middle, it was a good start. The old man sighed as he looked at the departing tribe, and then led the rest of the tribe towards another direction.

Henry and his party walked out of Icewind Dale along the way they came in. After several days of rushing, the city wall gradually rising in the distance can already be seen, and the City of Thousand Sails is finally approaching.

The half-orc warrior looked at the city gate in the distance and said to Henry: "Head, do you need to disguise yourself, the front is the territory of the Arcane Brotherhood, and I don't want to conflict with them here."

"You take the tribe to stay where you are, and I'll go in and contact Stephen to see if I can get two ships. Watch out for these barbarians, and don't let them cause any trouble." Henry put on the transformation ring and turned himself into an ordinary middle-aged man. He tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards the gate of the city.

The guards at the north gate of Luskan are quite strict, and everyone who enters the city will be carefully checked. Since the Arcane Brotherhood often invades the surrounding towns, the lords of the entire north hold considerable hostility towards this place. They often send some spies to carry out some sabotage activities, so this place can be regarded as heavily guarded.

"Where are you from? What are you going to do in the city?" A guard pointed at Henry with a crossbow and asked.

"I just came from Icewind Dale, and I'm going to rest here for a few days, and see if I can find a merchant ship going south." Henry carefully avoided some words and answered truthfully, because he saw a guy using detect lies.

The guard glanced at the man next to him, who nodded slightly. "Go in, remember not to cause trouble, or the soldiers maintaining law and order will arrest you and spend the night in a water dungeon." As he spoke, he began to ask the same question to the people behind him.

Passing through the city gate without incident, Henry quickly walked through the streets, looking for the intelligence point that Robert had placed here. It didn't take long for him to come to the gate of a dilapidated house. A small snake was carved on the copper handle, which was the contact symbol of the Thieves Guild.

He stepped forward and knocked gently on the door, and soon an eye appeared through the peephole on the door. The man said in a low, hoarse voice, "Whoever you are, you'd better leave now. Strangers are not welcome here."

Henry recognized this man at once. He was the thief who went out to sea with Stephen. After looking around and seeing no one there, Henry carefully took out his noble badge. "I'm not a stranger, this should make you think." He waved the badge in front of the peephole.

The thief immediately recognized the sign on it, and he immediately opened the door and bowed respectfully. "My lord, why did you come to Luskan? It's not peaceful here recently. The four commanders all started fighting secretly, and more than 200 people died in a few days."

"I need help with something now, send a message to Stephen immediately and ask him to come here to see me right away." Henry ordered while walking towards the house. The thief nodded, quickly inserted the door and ran to the second floor of the house. Not long after, a short figure jumped out of the window. After jumping over a few roofs, she quickly disappeared into the middle of the street.

"My lord, the thief who delivered the news has already set off. Before noon tomorrow, Stephen will definitely come here to report."

Henry nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with the efficiency of this thief. "How is this guy doing, is there any sign of resistance to orders or out of control?"

The thief grinned sinisterly. "The leader put a small thing in Stephen's stomach. As long as this guy dares to disobey the order, he will immediately enjoy the pleasure of breaking his stomach."

"When did Robert do his hands and feet, why don't I know?" Henry asked with a little doubt. If he remembered correctly, this guy only stayed in the dungeon of the Thieves Guild for one night, which was not enough time to install a magic device.

The thief smiled and explained the method of the thief leader. Robert directly mixed an alchemy item the size of a grain of rice into the porridge, which was eaten by Stephen, who was still a prisoner at the time. This thing will be adsorbed on the intestinal wall of a person, and as long as the person holding the switch presses it, it will explode immediately.

Henry smiled after hearing this, Robert's methods are really getting more and more secretive, and Stephen was calculated without knowing it. It doesn't look long before he can become an excellent trade union manager. At that time, the information on the entire west coast will be sent back continuously without leaving the territory.

In the following time, Henry continued to ask the thief what happened to Luskan recently. After getting the necessary information, he went to the second floor, found a clean bed, lay down and began to rest. (To be continued.)
