Broad World

It didn't take long for the dinner party to start. The butler directed the servants to bring the delicacies to the table one by one, and within a few minutes, hundreds of dishes were all arranged neatly. The banquet adopts a self-service mode, and guests can pick their favorite food and wine with their plates.

Before the banquet, Shi Kodi stood on the steps leading to the second floor with a glass of wine. She tapped the glass with her spoon to signal for everyone to be quiet. "Everyone! There is a very important thing to announce today. This is not only related to the future of the Angomei family, but also to your future. I believe many of you have already received the news in advance. But my dear husband, your lord is still at a loss."

Hearing what his wife said, Henry immediately put the parchment into his arms. Then he made an innocent expression and spread his hands. His behavior made everyone laugh, and even Lily felt that her son was a little slow in this regard.

"Quiet! Since he hasn't guessed it yet, let me announce the result." As he spoke, Shi Kodi touched her stomach with a happy face. "I'm pregnant! And it's twins."

Hearing the news, Henry was stunned. Counting that he is not yet twenty years old this year, he is about to become the father of two children. No wonder Shi Kodi invited so many people. It turned out that it was to let everyone know that the Angomei family already had two legal heirs.

Then it's time to receive gifts and blessings. Henry felt that his mind was in a mess, and his whole body was in a daze, and this situation continued until the end of the banquet. After all the guests had left, Shikodi took his hand and asked, "Honey, you are going to have two lovely children soon, isn't this something to be happy about?"

"Of course I'm very happy, but I'm a bit at a loss now. You know, neither of us is over twenty years old. I really don't know if we can take good care of our two children." Henry said while touching his wife's belly. The power of nature immediately sensed the little life inside, and the feeling of being connected by blood is very cordial.

The butler bowed to the two of them. "Please don't worry about this. After the child is born, there will be a special maid who will take care of it. And the enlightenment education before the age of ten is generally in charge of a special noble teacher."

Shi Kodi shook his head slightly when he heard the old man's explanation. "I will take care of the two children myself. As for the maid and the teacher, we will wait until they are older."

Henry fully agrees with his wife in this regard, and he also believes that it is a very irresponsible behavior to throw a child under the discipline of a servant. The family gathered together to discuss for a long time, and finally, after being reminded by the housekeeper, everyone realized that it was already late, and they went back to their bedrooms to rest.

A year passed quickly, and Shi Kodi gave birth to a pair of twins in May of dr13**. Under the protection of powerful magic, the mother and son were safe and sound. Henry named the boy Allen and the girl Liv. Looking at the two chubby little lives, he suddenly felt that he had matured a lot.

In order to protect the safety of the territory, Henry set off alone for the underground experiment site in the Nether Mountains one month after the child was born. After Borken Losart signed the magic contract, he immediately used the ninth-level spell "Wishing" to completely resurrect him. The Arcanist from the Netheril period was filled with emotions after being reborn. The two kept discussing the development of magic along the way, and it took more than a month to return to Bruwent City.

When Borken came to the Mage Tower, he plunged into the library. Countless spells have been created and improved over thousands of years, and it took him a long time to learn the current way of casting spells. The arcanist's crazy reading speed stimulated all the apprentices, and they all thought that this young-looking guy was also an apprentice.

This fanatical learning atmosphere directly allowed the three apprentices to cross that hurdle and directly became a first-level mage. Henry presided over the graduation ceremony himself, and a magic badge engraved with a tower was worn on their chests. From today, the three mages will get a reading room here, and some free materials every month. Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, and they have to go to the city to serve for a few days every once in a while.

After dealing with the promotion of the apprentice, Henry sent Robert non-stop to start contacting the Shadow Thief of Amn. It was less than five years before Abdel left Candlekeep, and he had to arrange a big picture before this started. Only in this way can we maximize the benefits and protect our own lives.

With the closer cooperation with the Shadow Thieves, Robert's Thieves Guild has also achieved rapid development. From Luskan in the north to Calimport in the south, as long as there are a little more prosperous cities, he has his business. The thief leader took the opportunity to draw a large number of maps, even the sewers of these cities were not spared. Henry put these maps away by category, and only made a copy of the maps of Baldur's Gate and the Amn area to carry with him.

The annual ring of the druid organization has also developed very rapidly in recent years. They keep sending people to guide agricultural production, and under the influence of vital interests, two-thirds of the villages on the archipelago have begun to believe in nature. They voluntarily sent their children out to be selected by druids, and those who were talented were brought back to the valley to study.

Fast-forward five years, and the College District has taken on a new look. With a mature education system and a lot of financial support, it quickly became famous on the west coast. After several years of development, there are already hundreds of teachers and thousands of students. Looking at the bustling city, Henry knew that he was going to leave soon, because he still had one very important thing to do before the plot started.

The night before his departure, Henry invited all the important people in the territory to the lord's mansion. He had to arrange everything in the territory, because this trip was too dangerous, and even he didn't know if he could come back alive. After all, this involves the throne of Baal, the God of Slaughter.

"Everyone, I have called you here today because I have something to announce. Tomorrow I will go on a long journey, and it may take one to two years before I return. This is very important to me, so I will leave the affairs of the territory to everyone."

Hawk frowned slightly. "Count, what kind of journey takes more than a year? You must know that our current airship can reach almost any place on the mainland."

When Vaughn heard that he was going to travel, he stood up immediately: "Head, remember to take me with you when you go out for an adventure. It's really boring to be bored here for a few years."

"Okay, I don't bring anyone with me this time, I just plan to walk around Baldur's Gate and Amn alone." Henry took out a development plan and handed it to Hawk. "During the time I'm away, you can build the territory according to the plan. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the Mage Tower for help."

Hawke took the drawing and looked at it, then carefully rolled it up and put it in his pocket. "No problem, we are now on the right track. As long as the number of immigrants increases steadily, it will not be long before the third city will be built."

After solving the development of the territory, Henry turned his head and said to Robert: "After I leave, the security here will be entrusted to you. Anyone who spy on the lord's mansion will be killed first. Similarly, if you encounter difficulties, go to the Mage Tower to find Borken, and he will solve your magic problems for you."

The thieves leader stood up and bowed. "Please rest assured that no one in this city has been able to escape my eyes, even the people of the Harper League."

"Speaking of the Harper Alliance, what have they been up to recently?" Henry asked curiously. These guys seem to have been quiet for a long time since they established an intelligence point in Blue Winter City.

Robert replied with disdain on his face: "What else can I do, except occasionally smuggle a few ships of food to Shadowmoon Island, and stay in that house at other times. A while ago, there was news that the natural disaster on Shadowmoon Island has ended, and many people have taken airships to Waterdeep City."

Henry secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the number of harp players in the territory had decreased greatly. If these guys knew that they were adventuring with the sons of the Slaughter God, they would not know what extraordinary things they would do in the city. "Pay close attention to their whereabouts. This time I will give you full power. If necessary, you can mobilize all forces to kill them at any time."

"I don't like these bastards for a long time. As long as they dare to make any changes, I promise to clean up the house from the inside to the outside within 20 minutes." Robert's mouth turned up slightly, obviously he got along with the harpist very unpleasantly.

After dealing with everything, Henry dismissed everyone. He returned to his second-floor bedroom to spend the night with his wife and two children. In the morning of the second day, I kissed my loved ones goodbye and boarded the airship to Baldur's Gate alone. He was going to stay in Nasika for a few days first, to see if he could meet Edwin Odysseron. The necklace on this guy's neck inlaid with family heirloom gems can add two spell slots from level 1 to level 9, which is simply a treasure that mages dream of.

As the airship slowly lifted into the sky, Henry began to close his eyes and recall the huge plot. The city of Blue Winter is relatively the closest to Baldur's Gate, and it took less than two days to reach the destination. As soon as he landed, he heard someone talking about the recent period, all kinds of monsters and bandits on the road suddenly began to increase.

Only Henry knew that within a few months, Nasika's iron mines would start to have problems. Immediately afterwards, "adoptive father" Grian was killed, and Aberdell would be kicked out of Candlekeep afterward, embarking on a legendary adventure with Imoen. Thinking of this, he hurriedly quickened his pace, bought a horse at the market, got on it and ran towards the south. (To be continued.)
