Broad World

Seeing the dense personal information that needs to be filled in on the parchment, Henry couldn't help but secretly groaned. If you filled out this form truthfully, it would be tantamount to stripping yourself naked in front of the Masked Mage Guild. Not only does it require you to fill in your real name, age, spellcasting level, known spells, alchemy level, etc., which are closely related to magic, but it also requires you to write down the names and home addresses of your wife, mother, and children.

It can be said that as long as these forms are mastered, the masked mage can use various means to firmly control a person in his hands. Since this piece of paper is blessed with special magic, if it is made up randomly, it will be marked with red letters immediately. Unless spells are used to crack it, but if you chant spells here again, you will be discovered immediately.

Just when Henry was hesitating, a fiery red light flashed in Sandy's eyes, and the white-haired old man suddenly felt a little sleepy, and then fell asleep on the table. The two looked at each other, and immediately began to chant the spell in a very low voice, cheating the blessing of magic on the parchment, and filling out a random pass.

"Hey! Don't sleep. Our form is completed. Besides, here is a hundred thousand gold coins. You'd better count them." Henry pretended to pat the table.

The old man raised his head and rubbed his eyes, not realizing that someone was playing tricks. After all, Shandier neither chanted a spell nor performed any spell-casting actions. He picked up the form and checked it carefully, making sure that there were no red marks, and then waved his hand at the gold coins on the ground.

Under the control of the magic power, the gold coins flew into the small box next to it in a straight line. Every time a gold coin falls, the number printed on the box will jump. After all the gold coins are put in. The number above is exactly one hundred thousand. See a lot of gold coins coming in. The old mage smiled and said to Henry: "Now you two already have the permission to cast spells. But I advise you, it's better not to use it in public."

"Don't worry, I know the Amn people's attitude towards magic very well, so I won't make things difficult for myself." With that said, Henry bowed slightly and Sandyr left the council building.

Watching the two leave, the old man muttered in a low voice: "It's really strange, why did I suddenly fall asleep? And there are no signs of casting spells around, is it really because I am too old?"

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Henry couldn't wait to ask: "What was that red light in your eyes just now? Is it some kind of natural ability?"

Shandier smiled proudly and replied: "It should be. My eyes have a little charm ability, which can exert influence on those who are defenseless or unstable. Of course, this ability is very weak, and it can't go against a person's basic wishes. That is to say, if the old man just now didn't subconsciously want to sleep, my hypnosis would never have succeeded."

"A very good ability, which can be used unexpectedly on certain occasions." As he spoke, Henry's fingers lightly brushed across the eyes of the sorceress, feeling the energy contained in them.

"Master, where are we going next? You know this city is so big, it's not easy to find Joan Irenicas's hiding place." After speaking, Sandyer's face showed unforgettable hatred.

Henry shook his head slightly. "I know where this guy is hiding, but it's not the time yet. After all, you know how powerful Joan is, and it's impossible for the two of us to defeat him. Don't let hatred cloud your reason. For a spellcaster, keeping a calm mind is more important than anything else."

Sandy lowered her head and kissed the back of Henry's hand lightly. "I obey. Everything is according to your arrangement, great master. I just want to see Joan Irenicas die tragically, and I am willing to pay any price for this, even if I die with him."

"Let's go, let's go to Woking shopping mall first. I heard that the adventurer's market there is very special, and occasionally you will meet some merchants from different planes." Henry remembers very clearly that in the game, there was a merchant selling two treasures between legendary items and sub-artifacts, including Vecna's Robe and Darken's Seth Knife. For a mage, their value is simply inestimable.

The two passed through the bridge area connecting the north and south ends of the city, and soon came to the shopping mall area at the southernmost end. As soon as they walked in here, they heard all kinds of cries emerging in an endless stream. Merchants did everything they could to attract customers, and there were several beautiful women writhing like snakes standing in front of many shops. Except for a small piece of poor cloth on the important part of their body, it is basically equivalent to no clothes.

Woking Arcade is a huge oval building resembling a stadium. It can be divided into three layers of circular shops, and two parts of the free trade zone in the center. All kinds of shops, hotels, bookstores, wine, ore trade, etc. are mostly in the shops, and the open space in the middle is mostly occupied by some traveling merchants such as circus, furniture, fur goods, and artwork.

There are so many types of goods here, and the complete variety is simply beyond imagination. A businessman told Henry that if the one-time consumption was high enough, he would give him two writhing beauties at the door as extra hair. As for whether you enjoy it yourself or entertain guests, there is no problem at all.

You must know that this can almost be characterized as a slave trade. Slaves in Amn were banned, but merchants ignored this law in order to earn more gold coins. According to the information provided by the boss, these voluptuous dancers are all virgins bought from Calimshan in the south.

It was an evil country, a paradise for men. They practiced polygamy, and a wealthy and powerful man usually had a large harem. If the number of female slaves is counted, it is likely to reach hundreds or even a thousand. Since there are many wives and concubines, the children will naturally hide along with them. Most major slave owners will train their sons to be thugs, and their daughters will be sold as goods at high prices to passing merchants.

Getting rid of this enthusiastic businessman, Henry smiled and shook his head. Although some information about Calimshan has been heard before, most of them are related to the chaotic social structure and large number of gang members there. This is the first time I know about buying and selling daughters. Coming from modern society, he didn't understand at all what kind of environment would allow a father to trade his own flesh and blood as goods without any scruples.

After inquiring about the location of the adventurer's market from passers-by, the two soon came to the west side of the first floor of the circular shopping mall. As soon as I walked to the door, I heard a dwarf shouting at the passers-by: "Come on! Come to the adventurer's market to have a look! Any adventurer can sell the equipment they need. From magic weapons to common weapons, from armor stolen from the Dragon Cave to various spell scrolls, there is everything here. And a beautiful lady came a few days ago and is selling some expensive items whose origins cannot be recognized."

The last sentence immediately aroused Henry’s interest. You must know that Robert was sent here to inquire for a long time, but he did not find the mysterious businessman in the game. This time I came here just as if I was trying my luck, I didn't expect that there were unexpected gains. He took out a few gold coins and waved them in front of the dwarf.

"Tell me about this beautiful lady and her wares, and the gold will be yours."

Seeing the gold coin, the dwarf licked his lips greedily. "No problem. Three days ago, a beautiful lady named Di Deli came to the adventurer's market and rented a stall with the shopkeeper. The things she sells are very expensive and have unknown uses. Even Libod, who is experienced in adventure, can't identify them. Ordinary identification spells have no effect on them. I even suspect that this woman is a liar at all, and those goods have no real use at all."

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Henry's mouth, and he threw the gold coin in his hand. "Here, these gold coins belong to you. Also, where is this Deidre's booth? I want to go and have a look."

"Go straight in, it's at the stairs on the second floor. That woman is so beautiful, you can recognize it at a glance." The dwarf put the gold coins in his mouth one by one, bit them, and pointed out the location after confirming that there were no fake coins.

Sandyer glanced at the dwarf's disgusting movements in disgust and muttered softly, "It's such a barbaric and rude behavior, it makes me lose my appetite."

"Haha, you can say whatever you want, ma'am. You know this is Askatla where liars run rampant, so you should be careful. You know these few gold coins are my salary for more than a month, and I don't have to pay those damn taxes." The dwarf laughed and carefully put the gold coins close to his body to prevent them from being stolen by endless pickpockets.

Henry smiled and waved at the dwarf, and pulled Shantier into the gate of the adventurer's market. As soon as they entered the door, they saw that the shelves on both sides were full of various armors, weapons, arrows, potions, and even some magical beast cubs that could be trained as helpers. The boss, Libod, was a great adventurer before he retired, and most of the magic items sold here were collected when he was young.

But Henry didn't have much interest in these ordinary goods. With his current spellcasting ability, unless it is a legendary item, he can copy it after looking at it once. Going up the stairs to the second floor, the two of them immediately saw a woman sitting in front of a booth reading a book. Her temperament is very unique, giving people a feeling of being in another time and space.

It seems that this person should be Dietrich. Although her race cannot be confirmed, Henry is sure that it will never be human. It has to be said that this woman is very well disguised, even her camp, good and evil tendencies are all hidden. Maybe there's something magical about her that's covering everything up so that even magic detection doesn't work.
