Broad World

Chapter 278 The Merchant and the Robber

The night at Baldur's Gate was quiet, except for the occasional few bold sand murloc scouts, no living creatures could be seen anymore. Suddenly, a group of gray bats appeared in the midnight sky, and they flew silently behind the murlocs. The moment it landed on the ground, its body began to deform rapidly, and after just a few seconds, it turned into pale vampire girls.

A gust of cold wind blew through, and there were several screams from the ruins of the city. The murlocs didn't even have a chance to fight back, and they were sucked dry by a large group of vampires. They licked the blood from the corners of their mouths, then turned into bats and returned to the sky, looking for the next target.

The newborn vampires have been following Henry's instructions, circling over the city every night, constantly looking for those enemies who dare to go ashore. In more than a month, hundreds of desert murlocs have died under their hands. A lot of killing and blood sucking make these undead creatures grow rapidly, and after a while, maybe someone will get a chance to advance.

The next morning, Henry and Sandy bought a carriage, hid Spellcaster No. 2 in the carriage, and left Askatra through the city gate in a fair manner. Along the eastward trade route, they passed Lake Esmer all the way and came to the plain area in the middle of Amn.

Here, Henry met a caravan who wanted to cross the Snowflake Mountains and go to Tumis to buy food. Grain prices rose sharply throughout Amn due to the ban on sea trade. Merchants began to stockpile food one after another. Even though they knew that the green fields had sufficient food production, panic inevitably arose.

The owner of the caravan, Herman, was an experienced merchant in his forties. If there is anything lacking in the Amn region, go to the nearby countries to buy anything. Although it won't make a lot of money doing so. Fortunately, the profit is very stable. He has a slightly protruding belly. Along the way, he enthusiastically introduced the customs and customs of the surrounding countries to Henry.

"Tumis is most famous for its gorgeous and exquisite handmade armor besides its rich food. This armor is decorated with embossing, spiers, and concave-convex curves, and it is a mixture of human and elf styles. The upper-class nobles in Amn like this luxurious and sturdy armor very much, and each piece can make several times the profit. In addition, the snails there are also famous. Not only is it delicious, but also very tender, just like a girl's tongue."

After listening to Herman's eloquent narration. Henry nodded with a smile on his face. "Very interesting place. After hearing your description, I want to visit this country for myself."

"Haha, if you go sightseeing, you must not miss the capital Aragon. The entire city there is made of stone, and thousands of secret rooms and secret passages have been formed due to several renovations. Everyone who has been there will go in and walk around. It is said that you can find a feeling of adventure in the underground city." Heman showed a nostalgic expression on his face.

Just when Henry was about to say something, the caravan walking in front suddenly stopped. I saw that there were more than 30 teams composed of orcs, ogres, gnolls, hobgoblins and other monsters blocking the way ahead. They waved their weapons and howled. Gradually surrounded the caravan.

One of the orcs stood up and shouted: "Listen to me! Obediently call out all the daily necessities and women, so that I can let you live. If anyone dares to resist, everyone will be buried with him."

"It's really unlucky to meet these greedy robbers." The caravan owner Herman sighed. He stepped forward and asked loudly: "You have always only collected tolls, why don't you even let go of goods and women now?"

The orc spread his hands helplessly and replied: "Hey. There is no way, this is an order from above. It is said that Master Faircrag found his own daughter who had been lost for many years, so he needs some daily necessities and a few maids."

When Henry heard the name of the red dragon appearing here, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly. Unexpectedly, this guy is quite economical. Not only did they not rob merchants, but instead imposed a one-time toll. But what happened to this biological daughter? He didn't seem to remember that there were other dragons beside Faircrag.

"Master, do you want me to kill them?" Shandier asked quietly while standing aside. As a woman who likes cleanliness, she is full of disgust for these dirty and smelly monsters.

Glancing at the robbers who were tossing and turning on the van, Henry thought about it and nodded slightly. "Kill them all, anyway, it's not far from Windspear Hill. Remember to leave one alive, I want to ask what happened to this biological daughter."

After getting permission to kill, Sandyer licked her seductive red lips, quickly blessed herself with protective magic, and then began to chant the spell in a low voice.

Herman is negotiating with the orc warriors, trying to convince them to only accept gold coins. Just when he took out a ring and was about to secretly use some special means, suddenly a fireball flew across the sky, and then fell on the place where the monsters gathered, making a loud noise. The flames and air waves generated by the explosion blew up the monster's flesh and blood, and many arms, thighs, intestines and other things flew around.

Killing makes the sorceress of the evil alignment excited. She directly activated "Spell Sequencing", followed by "Fireball" x3. Before the thirty or so monsters realized what happened, they all reported to the God of Death.

Herman stared at the fiery red-haired lady with straight eyes, and his throat twitched unconsciously. Although he already knew that this pair of men and women traveling together must not be ordinary people, but this was too cruel. Look at these poor monsters, not even a complete body can be found. People are just collecting a little toll for a meal, so if you have something to say, you can talk about it....

Looking at the blood, severed limbs and internal organs all over the place, Sandyer narrowed her eyes with enjoyment. After a while, she hooked her fingers at the only surviving orc warrior. "Climb over here! It's best not to let me do it, or your fate may not be very good. You must know that the master is just saying to keep alive, that is to say...he doesn't need these arms and thighs that get in the way..."

The orc dropped his weapon tremblingly, knelt on the ground and crawled over like a dog. Sandy Er picked up a hemp rope used to fix the goods full of mischief, and tied it around his neck. In the end, this guy, who didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky, was led to Henry.

"Master, I brought the live you need." The sorceress tied the orc warrior to the carriage like an animal.

Seeing the fear and awe in the eyes of the people around him, Henry sighed secretly. It's really not the right time for Sandy's chaotic and evil nature to flare up. It seems that this caravan can't stay any longer. Thinking of this, he slightly bowed to the caravan owner Herman who was still in a daze.

"I'm very sorry, my female partner is not in a good mood recently, so I was a little violent when I started. Thank you for your care along the way. But now we have to turn around and head north to the Hill of Windspear, so we still part here."

"Oh, okay. I'm also very grateful to you and this lady for killing these robbers. But you'd better be careful, you must know that Faircragg is a powerful red dragon." After speaking, Herman quickly greeted the guys and fled here quickly. He didn't want to offend the ruler of this mountain range, otherwise he would not be able to do business in the future.

Sandy looked at the caravan moving at a high speed, with a disdainful expression on her face. "Hmph! What a bunch of cowards."

"They are businessmen after all, and it's only natural that they don't want to cause trouble. In addition, try not to show an expression of enjoying killing when outsiders are around next time, or you will be in trouble if you meet a paladin or something like that." Henry issued a serious warning. After all, there is a Knights of the Fiery Heart in the Amn area, and once they are identified as evil, they are waiting to be hunted down.

After teaching his subordinates, he tugged on the rope and pulled the orc closer. "Tell me, what happened to the old dragon's daughter? I'm not very patient, so it's best not to test it."

The orc warrior shivered uncontrollably, and then said: "Master Faircrag sent someone back from the Spine of the World some time ago to bring back a half-dragon, who is said to be the daughter of a human woman. Her power after transformation is terrifying, and we lost several soldiers in order to capture her alive."

"Oh? So it's the dragon girl Xina." Henry muttered softly. He suddenly recalled this episode, and a smile appeared on his face inadvertently. You must know that the half-dragon not only has a strong talent for casting spells, but also has very good melee combat ability. It would be great if he could win him over to his subordinates.

After Shandier heard about the half-dragon, a greedy expression appeared on her face. She had long wanted to study the body structure of the half-dragon, to see how it was different from those tieflings (half-blood devils) and tieflings (half-blood devils). But unfortunately, the number of these guys is too small, and most of them are under the protection of their parents.

Henry didn't notice the sorceress's little thoughts, and tied the orc tightly with a rope, and threw it directly on the side of the road. If this guy is lucky, he may be found and rescued by his kind. If you're unlucky, just wait to turn into the poop of a carnivore.

The two drove the carriage all the way north, and after several days of driving, they finally passed through a large forest. The bare stones in front of him and the sound of gusts of mountain wind all indicated that the Hill of Windspear was close at hand. After walking for a while, they found that the road became more and more steep, and it was impossible for a carriage to go up.

In desperation, Henry could only abandon the carriage and release the horses. The two of them walked slowly on the mountain road with Spellcaster No. 2.
