Broad World

Hearing Henry's words, Aberdell glanced at Candlekeep thoughtfully. Now he is more and more sure that his life experience is definitely not simple, otherwise there would not be so many people going forward to carry out assassinations. Aimon searched for a while on the body that was strewn with pieces of meat, and found some gold coins, gems and half a piece of blackened paper.

It is said that someone is doing a big thing, and finally said that he will remember those who have helped him in the world. The signature behind has been burned, but Henry has already judged from this sentence that it must be Sarevok. It seems that he is very confident in his succession to the priesthood of killing, and has begun to recruit believers on a large scale.

Everyone cleaned up briefly and was just about to go to Candlekeep. Suddenly a dark panicked guy came up from behind and shouted: "Wait! Aberdell! You are Aberdell, right?"

Yu had just experienced a battle, and everyone's nerves were a little tense. They each clenched their weapons, ready to deal with sudden attacks at any time. Apodel cautiously pointed his sword at the other party and asked loudly, "Who are you? Who knows my name?"

"Don't! Don't do anything! My name is Nan Ding, and I'm Zuo Nan's colleague!" The man hurriedly raised his hands to show that he was not hostile.

"Zuo Nan? Oh, I remembered, it was the scholar who exchanged books with me near Baldur's Gate." Apodell suddenly realized that he withdrew his weapon.

Nan Ding suddenly saw a big black puddle of minced meat in front of him, the pupils of his eyes shrank immediately, he covered his mouth and ran under a tree by the side of the road and began to vomit.

After he took a breath, he rinsing his mouth to say to Apacher: "I'm here to ask for help. After Zuo Nan got the book, he met a thief in the" Burning Mage "tavern in Bellgaster. He learned from his mouth that a team in the south was interested in this book. After he heard the book, he went to Nesi Kai. But there was no news for so many days. There is something wrong. He said before leaving, let me come to the candle castle to find you if something wrong. "

"Do you remember the name of that thief?" Henry hurriedly asked.

Nan Ding lowered his head and recalled for a while before he said to himself: "That thief is called... Luo Long. Yes, that's right."

"Okay. We'll investigate after we've finished dealing with Candlekeep and see if there's anything we can do to help." Apodel readily agreed.

Nan Ding quickly saluted. "Oh, thank you! Thank you very much. I will wait for you to bring news about Zuo Nan at Naxikai Hotel." After speaking, he quickly ran back along the avenue, as if he was avoiding something.

Jasila felt more and more that this matter was not simple, and there might be some shady secret hidden behind it. But right now, the Duke of Irtan's task is still to investigate carefully what forces the Iron Throne is colluding with. Passing through the ground smashed by the "Popular Explosion", everyone came to the gate of Candlekeep.

Apodel and Imon chatted happily with the guard at the door. Then he handed over the book he exchanged with Zuo Nan. The person in charge of guarding the gate carefully checked it several times, and finally shook his head and refused everyone's entry. "I'm sorry, Apodel. This book has no value, it's just some people's random writing. Its value is far less than a thousand gold coins, so I can't let you in."

"How could this be!" Apodell felt a little crazy. "The guy named Zuo Nan said that the book is worth 10,000 gold coins. And the mage in our team didn't find any problems. Did you read it wrong?"

The gatekeeper sighed and pointed to the gold pattern on the back of the book. "See these patterns? These things block the detection of magic, so it is easy to make people think that this book is inscrutable, but in fact it is worthless."

Henry glanced at Dinahei who was beside him with a face full of shame, and laughed secretly. It seems that this Laximan witch does not have a good grasp of magwena. Even if you don't know the plot, you can see the problem of this book. Seeing that Candlekeep was right in front of him but he couldn't go in, Aberdell turned around anxiously. In the end it was Henry. Everyone first went to find Zuo Nan to get back the original book.

Since there was no other way, everyone set off towards Belgost overnight, regardless of the lateness of the sky. Their top priority now is to return the original book, and then enter Candlekeep to find out. God knows when the people of the Iron Throne will end their meeting, and it would be too bad if they didn't.

After more than 20 hours of restless rushing, everyone finally passed through the gate of Belgost at midnight. Fortunately, Apodell's reputation has spread far and wide recently, otherwise the guard root would not have opened the city gate at this time. They rushed straight to the "Burning Mage" tavern without stopping.

As soon as he entered the door, Henry took out a handful of gold coins and put them in front of the bartender and asked, "I want to know right now if there is a thief named Luo Long here."

The bartender stuffed the money into his pocket calmly, then pointed to a little guy in a green cloak. "See that halfling running around? He is. But you better pay attention, this guy lost a pair of stealth boots, so he has a very bad temper."

"Thank you very much. If we use some abnormal methods against him, no one here should stand up and obstruct him?" Henry asked the bartender with an evil smile on his face.

The bartender laughed and shook his head. "Haha, don't worry. Even if you kill him here, we won't care. This damn thief steals everywhere, and all Ken people hate him very much."

Henry made a few gestures calmly. Apodel and Imon comprehended to outflank the halfling from the left and right respectively, and immediately grabbed the halfling's arms to support him. He was very dishonest, shouting loudly and kicking around with his feet. Not only did no one come out to stop the drinking guests around, but many people gathered around to see this guy's bad luck.

Seeing that the halfling thieves were so unpopular, Henry had an evil smile on his face again. He cast the first-level magic "Electric Claw Technique" in front of everyone, and saw a layer of faint blue electric light appear on his hand, with electric arcs jumping from time to time. Roron stared at those hands with fearful eyes. Struggling desperately to run away.

Apodel clamped the arm of the halfling thief and threatened loudly: "If you don't want to experience the feeling of being electrocuted, be sure to tell everything about Zuo Nan. Otherwise... those hands will touch your skin immediately."

"You bastards! Scoundrels! This is naked intimidation! Quickly call the patrol team. These guys are going to kill people!" Luo Long kicked his short legs and called for help loudly, hoping that the passing guards outside could hear his voice.

"Hey, you're really naughty. It seems that I need to give you some color." Henry sighed pretendingly, and put two hands with electric arcs on the face of the halfling. The powerful electric current quickly spread throughout his body, not only did his hair stand on end, but his limbs were still twitching non-stop. His unlucky appearance immediately drew laughter from the surrounding guests, and seeing this habitual thief being tortured, everyone felt very relieved.

In order to prevent accidentally killing this guy, Henry only let go of the electricity for a dozen seconds. It took a long time for the halfling rogue to gradually regain his sanity. He was terrified to find that his nimble fingers were a little stiff. And the two legs are not listening.

"Oh! My hands! My legs! You evil wizard! Quickly restore them to normal, or you will never get news from Zuo Nan." Luo Long threatened Henry with a vicious stare.

Henry smiled and shook his head. "It seems that you haven't fully understood your current situation. You know, I can torture you to death, and then dump the corpse in the wilderness. Look at the reactions of these people around. Not only will they not report to the guards, but they will clap their hands loudly. So I suggest you be honest and tell everything you know."

Luo Long noticed the expressions on the faces of the people around him, and silently lowered his head. He knew that he was always stealing here, and he had already offended everyone. After thinking about it for a while, the halfling thief said in a helpless tone: "You have to swear. If I tell the truth, not only will it not hurt me, but it will also heal the wound on my body."

"I swear in the name of the goddess of magic. But there is a premise, that is, you can't lie." Henry raised his hand and made his oath to Mystra.

Luo Long breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the oath, it seems that these people didn't come here specifically to trouble him. He wiped the saliva that accidentally flowed out, and directly told Zuo Nan's whereabouts. "I told the guy to go to the mines of Nasikay. I heard a suspicious party wanted the book. If you're going to find him, you'd better go to the mines and try your luck."

"Damn it, why is it Nasikai Mine again? I hate drilling underground." Apodel cursed in a low voice.

Henry cast two healing spells on Luo Long and let him go. As soon as the halfling thief landed on his feet, he immediately rushed to the door of the "Burning Mage" tavern, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The guests around found that there was no excitement to watch, so they quickly dispersed and talked with each other about what happened just now, bursting into laughter from time to time.

Everyone found a table and sat down. Jasila frowned and asked Henry: "Don't you think this matter is a bit strange? I think that book must hide some secrets that we don't know, and it may be related to some ancient legends."

"It's useless to think about it now. We still have to rely on this book to enter Candlekeep, and we have to get it back anyway. And I think that as long as we go to the bottom of the Nasika Mine, all doubts will be solved." As Henry said, he patted Aberdell's shoulder comfortingly. The guy was sulking with frustration.

I bow to thank Zhuang Sheng Mengdie and the old three book friends in the village for their recommendation votes, and at the same time thank beibei163 and Xiaobai for their evaluation votes.

Also talk about updates. Four changes a day and 12,000 changes are really very stressful for me. It’s okay to have an outbreak once in a while, but it’s really unbearable if there are so many every day.

Finally, I hope everyone will subscribe and support more. The black robe is guaranteed to be 6,000 per day, and it will never be changed, and it will not be supervised. (To be continued..)
