Broad World

Ever since he left the mine in his hometown and ventured out alone, Korgan has never been so entangled. He knew very well that his time was running out. As an unbelievers, he would definitely be judged by the god of death Kelenvor after his death, and then sent to paste the wall of unbelievers. You must know that the feeling is not very pleasant, the soul has been tortured for hundreds or even thousands of years before it gradually dissipates.

If there was no way to prolong his life before, then Cagan might spend his whole life in such a daze, and might die in a fierce battle. But now it's different, a bottle of life-extending potion appeared directly, but the price was extremely high. The purpose of the other party is to control his thoughts, as long as he wears that damn ring, he may lose his freedom forever.

Which is more important, freedom or life? The debate on this point has never stopped. Most idealists shout all day: "Give me freedom or give me death!" But when it comes time to let them die, I am afraid that more than 90% of them will choose to save their lives again. Especially middle-aged and elderly people who have entered the second half of their life, they cherish their lives very much.

It's clear that Cagan is just such an old dwarf, and as one of the Chaotic Evil camps, he values ​​his life more than anyone else's. Believing that if he kills one person, he can live another second, and he will kill thousands of innocent people without hesitation. But it is precisely this kind of selfish character that it is difficult to accept too harsh conditions, let alone let others interfere with one's own thoughts.

Henry just sat on the chair and waited silently, without any urging at all. He knew that he had hit the dwarf's weakness, and if nothing else happened, the other party would definitely agree. Viconia also stared at the potion in the bottle. Although the lifespan of the dark elves was so long that most of them died of fierce "political campaigns" before they died, no one thought their life was too long.

Korgan wanted to rush over and split the human in front of him with an axe, and then grab the potion. But he is very clear that this can only be thought about, although the opponent only cast two low-level spells in the duel. But the speed is too fast, and the magic attainment is definitely not too low.

After a few minutes of silence, the old dwarf gritted his teeth and said, "I can agree to your request, but you must make an oath first. Otherwise, God knows if you are fooling people."

"I swear to the goddess of magic here that this potion can prolong your lifespan by at least thirty years, and as long as you wear this ring, I will provide another bottle every twenty years." Henry swore without hesitation. He had no intention of deceiving the other party. You must know that the son of Baal will meet many people in the near future, especially the "five descendants". As long as they collect their blood, at least thousands of bottles can be made.

"Damn! This is simply the temptation of the devil, damn it! Really damn it!" Korgan picked up the collar and put it around his neck cursingly, closing his eyes. The magic attached to it took effect immediately, and it was stuck tightly on the neck in a second. After a few simple movements, he found that there was no effect at all, and immediately shouted: "I have done as required! Bring that bottle of potion!"

"Here, remember to drink it slowly. It doesn't taste very good." Henry put the bottle on the table, and then touched a brown-red gemstone that exuded strange energy.

Korgan grabbed the bottle and drank it down, an indescribable bitterness instantly stimulated the taste buds on his tongue. Just when he was about to swallow, he suddenly found that his body began to lose control, and the medicine was obviously wandering around his throat. But I can't swallow it. This made him anxious, and in less than a minute his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"How about it, do you feel that your body is a little stiff and out of control at all? Remember, I have absolute control, so don't try to make small moves, otherwise I will take over all your actions immediately."

Henry directly gave the dwarf a blow. But this is also impossible. After all, we must strictly guard against chaos and evil. Once you give these guys a chance, they won't mind stabbing you in the back. He used the "Control Orb" he obtained during his first adventure in the Underdark. Although the power was very powerful, he couldn't know what the other party was thinking.

Korgan immediately swallowed the foul-tasting potion after releasing the control. In just a few seconds, the wrinkles on his face disappeared a lot. And a lot of white hair and beards have all turned black. This is the result of natural energy and life force flowing through the body, and there is no doubt that the effect of the potion is excellent, far beyond the promise of extending life by thirty years.

The old dwarf stood up and clenched his fists, with an ecstatic expression on his face. He recalled the bitter taste in his mouth, laughed and said, "Hahahaha. This feels really good. You didn't lie to me. In return, my life will be yours from now on. Just tell whoever wants to cut it off."

"Very good, I like people who keep their promises. Let's get out of here now. I have to go to the pier area to talk to Shadow Thief. I believe they should have realized the seriousness of the situation by now." Henry stood up and walked towards the door. Now he can finally confirm that the potion has no side effects, and he can give each of his relatives and important subordinates a bottle.

Korgan rushed up on short legs and yelled, "Hey! Slow down! I have something to tell you. Just two weeks ago, my friends and I were looking for an ancient book, and there was an argument between my family members. Unfortunately, it turned into a fierce fight. It was bloody. So that sacred book never fell into the hands of our patrons."

"And now he's eagerly waiting for the book, like a cask to be filled. The pay is said to be very good, and there are said to be several bags of treasure and rare magic items. The book is somewhere in the cemetery, so if you're not very busy, you'd better go see it."

Viconia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "What's the name of that book? Why would someone pay such a high price?"

The dwarf keenly noticed a trace of white hair and dark skin exposed by the Queen of Poison Tongue, and then he opened his mouth and laughed. "Aha, it turned out to be a treacherous black-skinned elf, and now I have higher and higher expectations for this team. As for the book, I don't care what the hell it is about. Even if it's Elminster's memoirs, or Drizzt's pine recipes, I don't even want to read it. That book is called "The Book of Kasa."

"Dwarf, you'd better pay attention to your words, if there is another time, I don't mind teaching you a lesson." Viconia touched the "years" on her waist threateningly.

Korgan snorted, not taking the threats to heart. "Forget about your weak threats. I have encountered many dark elves before. What do you think will happen to them? Hehe, I hacked them all to death, and then cut off their ears to exchange for bounties."

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Henry immediately growled: "Enough! Save me the energy of quarreling, and I have plenty of people to vent your energy tonight. In addition, as far as I know, "Book of Kasa" was written by a lich named "Kasa", and it is full of evil spells and darkest secrets. According to legend, he should have died in the last few days of the turmoil in Netheril. I am also very interested in this book, maybe it contains some unknown magic or something Treasure."

"Okay, you are the leader, and everything is up to you. But you'd better move quickly, otherwise you may be caught first. You know, the guys from Shagberg are also looking for this book." From the aggrieved eyes of the dwarf, it can be seen that there must be a deep grudge between them.

Henry nodded slightly. "Don't worry, we will look for the Book of Kasa tomorrow during the day. Let's go, there is still a long way from the dock area, try to arrive before dark, I don't want to be attacked by vampires as shadow thieves."

"Hey! Don't worry about those little bats, my ax will chop off their wings, and then chop them into meat bit by bit." After finishing speaking, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Korgan's face. It can be seen that this guy is not afraid of anything, maybe even if it is the incarnation of a god, he would dare to rush up and chop an axe. But as a fighter, this character is quite good.

"Here, this is a magic ax I got in my adventure, you can use it first." Henry took out the "Frost Predator" he got in the Castle of D'Anis from his dimensional bag, and threw it directly to the dwarf. The ax was originally a bit big, but after he re-forged and hammered it, it could be used by normal people except that it was still a little heavy.

Korgan gets the "Frost Reaver" like a treasure. Gently touching the ax blade, he quickly discovered the cold and strong acid damage attached to it, and immediately let out a burst of laughter: "Hahahaha, it is really a good magic weapon. The cruel enchantment on it is very suitable for my appetite."

"It's fine if you like it. We have to speed up the pace. Before going to the Shadow Thieves Guild, I have to go to the home of Cromwell, a famous blacksmith in Amn. There are some things that I need to entrust him to make." Henry took the lead and walked out of the gate of the Copper Crown Inn.

According to the plan, he planned to clean up those shady missions before Xina and Imon returned to Askatla, so he improvised such an adventure team composed of all evil camps. Of course, the negotiations with the Shadow Thieves Guild should also be conducted in private, after all, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

In particular, Henry planned to trap Edwin again, so he needed the cooperation of these evil guys, otherwise, with the red-robed mage's keen perception of danger, he might be aware of it. This is a complete conspiracy, and people in the good camp will definitely not agree. His time is very tight, probably less than a week or so.
