Broad World

Chapter 241 Misfortune

No one stepped forward to dissuade Apodel, he had been suppressed for too long, maybe it would not be a bad thing to vent. A few hours later, a group of people walked on the road to Belgost. According to the plan, everyone will rest there for a day, and then return directly to Baldur's Gate to report the situation to Duke Irtan. I hope he can turn the tide and stop Sarevok's plot.

Only Henry knew that Irtan had been stabbed badly and was now being held in the dungeon at Flame Fist headquarters. But counting the time, the assassins sent by Robert should have already infiltrated. By the time these people returned to the city, he might have turned into a rotting corpse.

When they came to Belgost, Apodell took everyone to live in the most luxurious Feld Hotel in the town. In the evening, Henry instigated Imon to steal a fat man named Aeginon. The dexterous girl stole a beautiful red magic cloak back from him in just a few minutes.

Aeginon's Cloak:

Aeginon's cloak is magically imbued, causing the wearer to radiate light.

data:

Equipment capacity:

Charm +2

special power:

Charm once per day for twelve hours.

Imoen was overjoyed to get this beautiful magical cloak. She directly took out some dyeing tools and smeared the entire cloak, and soon the brilliance on it gradually disappeared, and even the color turned pink. Putting the cloak on herself, the girl walked around twice with a smug smile on her face.

"What, does this cloak suit me well? No wonder the fat man looks very attractive. It turns out that this magic item is responsible."

Henry nodded with a smile and woke up: "Of course it's good. But you'd better be careful when using the charm. Because this magic is not very effective for those who are determined."

Aimon blinked mischievously. "Don't worry. I won't be like those fools. Overly superstitious about the power of magic items."

"Of course, you are a smart and dexterous Imoen, and you will definitely become a great mage and thief in the future. I can't wait to see that day." Henry stood up and performed a complex noble salute exaggeratedly. The girl laughed and ran out of the room to show off her new cloak to Aberdel.

After teasing the lovely Imoen for a while, Henry walked the streets of the town alone. Before I went far, I met a little girl who was crying. He asked the reason for a while, and immediately remembered that this was a side mission in the game. Although the experience value is not too much, and it will cost money. But for the sake of the girl's pity, he took up this task.

After simple adjustment. The girl's parents finally reconciled. To help the financially struggling family, Henry shelled out six hundred gold coins for a pearl necklace. And secretly kept the two adults back, and returned the necklace to the girl. He thus got a thank you kiss from a six-year-old loli,

Saying goodbye to the little girl with a face full of surprises, Henry continued to wander the streets with a smile on his face. Belgost has a unique geographical location. If it weren't for the frequent attacks by monsters and beasts around it, the city should have been expanded here long ago. The important people in the town were assassinated a few days ago, and now the pedestrians on the street seem to be in a hurry and flustered.

Suddenly, the moment he passed a house, Henry saw a particularly tall figure inside. Judging from his height, this guy is at least three meters tall, and he is definitely not a human being. Strong curiosity made Henry quietly push open the door of this house. I saw a tall male ogre warrior kissing a small female dwarf mage.

Henry was dumbfounded by the subversive picture in front of him. While he was still in a daze, a boy suddenly ran down from upstairs and shouted: "Dad, Mom, there's a stranger peeking over there."

The ogre warrior raised his head abruptly, and saw Henry standing in a daze at the door at a glance. Without saying a word, he raised his two-handed giant sword and rushed over to slash, and the dwarf mage quickly began to chant spells, ready to kill people. Henry didn't intend to kill people, but he was quickly annoyed by these two entangled guys.

"Damn! If you don't stop fighting, I'm going to fight back!" Henry warned loudly at the two of them.

It's a pity that the couple has no intention of a peaceful settlement at all. Instead of stopping their attack, they launched a surprise attack while Henry was speaking. This action made Henry, who was originally not so good-tempered, feel murderous. He first used the "cracking technique" to strip away the defenses of the dwarf mage, and then fired three consecutive "spell sequencing" skeleton traps.

The gigantic magic explosion tore the dwarf mage and the children beside her to pieces in an instant. Seeing the tragic death of his wife and children, the ogre warrior screamed with red eyes and frantically swung the magic two-handed sword in his hand. But unfortunately, under the protection of the sixth-level magic "protective magic weapon", not even a single hair was hurt.

Henry turned a blind eye to the crazy ogre warrior in front of him, and continued to chant spells leisurely. Soon a sword of Mordenkain was summoned, which pierced the ogre through the heart from behind. The violent warrior fell to the ground with unwillingness and hatred in his eyes, and blood flowed everywhere.

After killing this strange family of three, he searched the house and the bodies on the ground. Apart from a few magical items, no trace of conspiracy was found. After cleaning up the corpses and blood on the ground, he quickly left the house. After all, the sound of the battle just now was not low, maybe there will be patrolling guards coming to check after a while.

Back in his room at the Field Hotel, Henry identified several magic items.

Serpent's Handle:

Each strike of this mighty staff adorned with snakes has a chance to unleash a deadly poison on its opponent.

Combat ability:

Every time it hits successfully, there is a half chance of poisoning the opponent. Unless the target successfully resists, it will continue to suffer poison damage for up to twelve seconds.

Ogre Miracle Gloves: "Hand of Takak"

"Hands of Takak" are actually Takak's hands. While crossing the Spine of the World, he meets a stranger. It was only after he attacked that he discovered that the stranger was a powerful wizard. Not only did the wizard beat him. He also cut off his hands to make these gloves.

Equipment capacity:

Strength automatically reaches the limit of human

Two-handed giant sword: "Flame of the Northland"

This title does not describe the blade. Rather, it refers to the woman who once wielded it across the frozen wastes of Faerûn. Her name is Carrera. Like a veritable firestorm, it swept across the arctic trolls and the orcish hordes of the north. She is the most hated enemy of many shamans, who find their spells weak as infants in the face of her wrath. Her entire life was spent in the heat of battle before finally being taken away by immortal time. The sword was passed to her adventurer granddaughter, who presumably took it to Amn.

Equipment capacity:

Slightly increased magic resistance

Bonus damage against chaotic evil creatures

The attributes of the three magic items are quite good, much better than Henry imagined. It seems that this strange couple must have experienced many adventures, otherwise it would be impossible to have so many magical items. Maybe they just want to live in seclusion here, but since they want to kill themselves, they have to pay the price of their lives.

Henry didn't tell anyone about this. After a night's rest, the group continued northward. After several days of rushing. Finally back to Baldur's Gate. As soon as they entered the city, they heard the rumors from ordinary citizens that the heroes who solved the iron crisis were spies from Amn. Moreover, Sarevok has also become the supreme leader of the Iron Throne in this region, is actively participating in politics, and is very hopeful to become the next Grand Duke.

"You bastard! You're spreading rumors against us everywhere!" Apodell glared fiercely at the businessman who was spreading false news.

Henry shook his head with a smile and comforted him: "Don't pay too much attention. These ordinary people were just misled by the rumors spread by the Iron Throne. After Sarevok's crimes are exposed, they will naturally understand what the truth is."

Apodell was a little annoyed, and punched the wall next to him. It is still difficult for him to accept such a 180-degree turn from a hero that everyone loves to a bear that everyone shouts and beats. Just when everyone was about to go to Yanquan headquarters to have a look, suddenly a group of heavily armed soldiers surrounded them.

One of the people dressed as the captain dispersed the surrounding people and shouted: "I am arresting you for murder now! Put down your weapons and follow us! Otherwise, we have the right to execute you on the spot according to the order of Master Angelo Dason!"

"How could this be the case! We have been employed by Scar and Duke Irtan! Did you make a mistake? The Iron Throne is the real culprit behind the scenes!" Apodel shouted at the captain angrily. He was a little confused about the current situation. It seems like after a trip to Candlekeep. Everything outside has changed.

The captain looked at the enraged Son of Baal and sighed. Although he also knew that these people were innocent, he was just an ordinary squad leader. He couldn't disobey the orders of the new commander of Flame Fist, Anqiluo Dasen. Looking at the somewhat pitiful Apodel, he finally told some recent things.

"Sorry, Shika is dead. Duke Irtan was assassinated the night before and has already left this world. Now no one can prove your innocence, so follow me."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the accident. They never dreamed that it would end like this. Only Henry showed a smile on his face hidden under the hood when he heard the news of Irtan's death. He knew that the assassin sent by Robert had finally succeeded, and the whole story was about to enter the most exciting part.

"This city has been shrouded in conspiracy. The new leader of the Iron Throne, Sarevok, is planning a war that will sweep across the Sword Coast. Instead of trying to stop the mercenaries of the Flame Fist, you are ignoring the truth to arrest us?" Henry pretended to be upright and yelled at the guards. Immediately afterwards, they released the "greasy technique" and "spider technique" at them.

The sudden attack caught the soldiers by surprise. While they were fixed in place, Henry immediately beckoned his teammates to turn around and run away. Along the dirty alleys all the way south, the group soon fled into the messy and dirty dock area. Hiding in the corner of the street, everyone was panting heavily. They are in a very bad situation now. There are patrolling guards everywhere in the city, and anyone who is not careful will be found. (To be continued..)
