Broad World

Jasila frowned upon hearing this explanation, but it seemed to make sense given Henry's previous adventures. After all, he has a good reputation, and the people in the territory live quite well. And the people they associate with are all famous people like Alastriol, Kelben, and Lyra.

"Don't worry, we were good friends a long time ago. And it was Grian who introduced us to each other." Aberdell saw Henry being suspected and hurriedly stood up to defend him.

Hearing that it was Ge Lian's introduction, Jiaxila felt a little relieved. "I'm really sorry, but you should know that these are extraordinary times. We must be careful, otherwise we may die at any time."

Henry smiled and nodded. "Your caution is not wrong. If I were you, I might be even more cautious. After all, the enemies that Aberdell will face are very powerful. As far as I know, including the iron mine crisis and the bandit rampage, they are all planned by one person behind the scenes. His purpose should be to drag the entire Baldur's Gate and Amn into the flames of war."

"Who... is this person? Why...why did he do this?" Khalid asked stammeringly.

Henry shook his head, he didn't want to tell everyone the answer so early. Now these people haven't won the support of the upper-class nobles, and if they rashly reveal their cards, it is impossible for them to be Sarevok's opponent. "It's not quite clear who it is, but I'm sure it has something to do with the Iron Throne."

"The Iron Throne? Aren't they a Chamber of Commerce organization? Why would they do such a thing?" Jasila frowned and began to think, and after a while he said to the others: "Let's solve the problem of iron mines and bandits first, and investigate this organization after entering Baldur's Gate."

"It's best to rest here for one night, after all, we're a little tired after driving for several days." Henry pointed to Aimon who had already started yawning.

Jaheira saw the two listless young men laugh. "I totally agree that camping out in the wild is not a very good idea in this chaotic situation."

Five people came to the bar to open a room with the dwarf boss, and all went to the second floor. Here they encountered a dwarven priestess named Unshe, who said she had been robbed by a girdle-loving ogre. If someone can snatch back the puncture protection belt, then there will be a sum of money and a new book.

Hearing that there was a reward, Aimon immediately untied the belt on his waist and returned it to the pastor who called himself a writer. Not only was she thanked by the female dwarf, but she also received ninety-five gold coins and a book "The History of Tethir".

"Look! We have completed the first adventure commission." The girl handed the money to Apodel as she spoke. "This is a gold coin. As the team leader, you must keep it safe, otherwise all of us will sleep on the street hungry."

Apodel smiled and stuffed the gold coins into the purse at his waist. "Looks like I can finally buy a new two-handed sword, you know I hate using sticks."

Henry looked at the two people arguing with a smile on his face. He had just been reminded to complete the task to get 800 experience points. It seems that what I predicted was correct, a lot of experience points can only be obtained in the plot. After arguing for a while, the sleepy people said good night to each other, and went back to their rooms to rest. There is still a long way to go tomorrow.

At night, Apodell slept soundly, and he didn't notice the bloody mist that kept churning around his body at all. This is the divine surname transforming his body, and the more people he kills, the deeper this transformation will be. The strange phenomenon continued until the first ray of sunlight appeared in the morning, and then slowly disappeared.

After eight hours of sleep, Henry got up early to chat with old Bentley. They talked to each other about the interesting things that happened in the past few years, and laughed a lot from time to time. After the sky brightened, the other four people walked down the stairs back and forth. After a simple breakfast, the group left the hotel. When Apodell passed by the market, he bought a new two-handed sword by the way.

"Hey, buddy. Do you know, I received a commission on the third floor of the hotel this morning. A poor dwarf old lady, I hope we can help her kill the giant spider at home. At that time, as long as you bring a pair of boots, a bottle of wine, and a part of the spider's corpse, you can get a large commission." Apodell said happily about his experience in the morning.

"Giant spider? I advise you to be careful. These monsters are not very easy to deal with. Just a small bite, the deadly toxin can enter the body through the blood, and kill a healthy human being within a few minutes." Seeing that he was getting carried away, Jasila quickly poured cold water on it.

"Don't worry, I will memorize two more "slow down the poison" and "neutralize the toxin." Henry said and patted Apodel on the shoulder. When he went downstairs this morning, he also met a nobleman wearing gold bubble pants. It took two exquisite gemstones for Henry to exchange for this more important item.

"Haha, I knew you were going to say that." Apodell had a smug smile on his face, and he took out a few bottles of green potion from his pocket and shook them. "This is the antidote potion the old man gave me. Six bottles are enough for us."

Jaheira took a bottle, uncorked it and sniffed it. "It's really an antidote potion! These potions are not cheap. It seems that you have met a kind-hearted old lady."

Aberdell gave everyone a spare bottle. A group of people headed south along the coast avenue until after three o'clock in the afternoon before they saw the stone tablet engraved with "Go south to Belgost". Henry knew very well that the town was not far away. I don't know what this former hometown has become now after so many years.

"Something's wrong! There's a bloody smell here!" Jaheira sniffed and reminded everyone loudly.

Henry cast a detection magic without saying a word, and soon a red light flashed in the distant woods. "The accident happened over there, everyone be careful, maybe it has something to do with the recent rampant robbers." He said that he blessed himself with anti-*** spells and walked over there with his staff in hand.

Everyone who came to the scene of the accident was stunned. There are corpses all over the place, and it seems that the entire caravan has been killed. Khalid looked carefully at the corpse. Judging from the wounds, these people did not go through too much fighting, and it was obvious that they all died in a sudden attack.

"All the goods are gone, too. It seems that these people were robbed. The robbers' methods were quite vicious, and no one was left alive." Jasila made a judgment after inspecting the truck.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Aimon felt the contents of his stomach start to rise continuously. A minute later, she lay down under a big tree and vomited desperately, even vomiting green bile. Apodel sighed and handed his water bag to the girl. "Rinse your mouth, it will make you feel better."

Aimon washed away the bad smell in his mouth with clean water, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Suddenly, a small figure jumped out from the woods and ran in the direction of Belgost. The girl had quick eyes and quick hands, and grabbed the little guy by the collar.

"Let go of me! Otherwise, I will let my mother take you away with a belt!" A little boy who looked less than ten years old shouted while struggling.

Seeing that it was a human child, Apodel let go of the hand holding the sword hilt. "Relax kid, we don't want to hurt you."

It's a pity that the child in front of him doesn't appreciate it at all. He gave everyone a hard look and said with a sneer, "That's right! That group of robbers said the same thing last time, and then they attacked a caravan that had just left. Liars! They are all liars!"

"Tell me what those bandits look like? How many are there?" Jaheira knelt down and asked as kindly as possible. The child stared at her fiercely and said nothing, it seemed that he didn't intend to say another word.

Henry sighed, these people obviously have little experience in dealing with children. He held out a hand and performed a magic trick. Soon a small fire dragon was flying around on the palm, it kept doing various difficult movements, not only the child, but even Aimeng's eyes were attracted.

After performing for a while, Henry suddenly clenched his hands into fists. He said to the child with a smile on his face: "Can you tell me what you have seen now? Don't be afraid, we are not bad people."

The child struggled for a long time with a bitter face, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded. "Okay! Mom said that mages who can perform tricks on children are not bad people. Among the robbers are humans, hobgoblins, and orcs. They often lie in ambush at the gate of the town. They killed the old man's caravan in Blair."

"The race of this bandit team is really mixed, there must be some kind of conspiracy in it." After speaking, Jasila frowned and began to think hard.

Henry rubbed the child's head and said to her, "Don't think too much about it. The most important thing now is to send this child back to Belgoost. His family must be very anxious, and the mayor should be notified about the attack on the caravan."

"No... that's right! After we finish investigating the iron mine crisis, then... we will deal with these robbers." It took Khalid a long time to finish this sentence.

In order to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic, the people simply burned the corpses. Fifty minutes later, a group of people started on the road again. They finally came to this bustling town near the evening. Imon looked around with eyes shining, and Aberdell followed closely behind her. This is not for fear of any danger, but to prevent the girl's restless hands from reaching into other people's purses.

After a brief discussion, everyone decided to split into two groups. The Jahiras were responsible for sending the child home and inquiring about the news. The three young people were responsible for notifying the mayor and taking a stroll. Finally, everyone had to meet at the Red Roll Inn before dark. (To be continued.)
