Broad World

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Henry, who had been busy all day, finally returned to Eratan's house with a hungry stomach. He didn't even bother to go in and take a look at those lovely and sultry Calimshan maids when he passed the mansion in the Temple District, enjoying the long-lost relaxation and pleasure.

Maybe fate likes to play tricks on people like this. Those who have the ability to enjoy enjoyment have no time to enjoy it, and those who have time to enjoy enjoy it have no ability to enjoy it, and those wealthy and idle people who have both time and ability to enjoy it often depend on people's faces, and it is very likely that they will make their elders unhappy for a moment become impoverished.

As soon as he entered the gate, the housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time immediately took two steps forward, handed over an envelope that was completely sealed with wax, and explained in a low voice: "My lord, this is a person who didn't want to leave half an hour ago. It was sent by the person who revealed the name. He said that he sent the information according to the agreement, and you will understand after reading it."

"Oh? I really didn't expect these guys to move so fast." Henry opened the wax seal and saw two lines of small characters written in the common language on the letter.

From Allies in the Shadows:

We have identified signs of vampire activity again in the cemetery area, especially on the west side of the catacombs, where negative energy reactions are particularly strong. Enclosed is a map so that you can find the target more quickly.

After seeing the crooked sketches, a sneer appeared on his face. With this, the vampire who worked for Joan Irenicus would never want to escape again, and a decisive surprise attack was enough to solve all the troubles. I don't know how much these guys like Askatera's cemetery area, or do they think the most dangerous place is the safest place?

But these are not important. Tomorrow night at the latest, both the divine vampire and her descendants will disappear completely, and at the same time, the Lane's lamp will return to the wood elves' hands again, and the illusion shrouded in Suodanisla will also be broken.

The thought of being about to personally command a magic battle. Henry felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling. Magnificent magic, giant dragons flying in the sky, invincible golems, vicious monsters, all these can happen only in this magical world.

Just when he was about to walk through the courtyard, he suddenly found that the butler who was following him was hesitant to speak, so he stopped and asked, "What's the matter, you seem to have something to say?"

"I'm sorry, my lord. An old man named Temins Ayer came here at noon today. But since you're not here, I asked him to come back later. But it's obviously past the scheduled time..." the butler said I'm a little overwhelmed. He felt as if he had done something wrong, and lowered his head silently waiting for the reprimand.

"Termins Air? Haha, don't worry, I bet the old man is already sitting on the sofa in the living room. If you don't believe me, look!" Henry raised his finger and pointed to the glass window.

I saw an old man with a red peaked hat and a big red cloak sitting on the sofa in the hall. He is obviously very old, not only his hair and beard are gray, but also the wrinkles on his face can definitely kill mosquitoes. At this moment, he was leisurely smoking a pipe with his mouth in his mouth, and the servants walking around seemed to be invisible, still busy with the work at hand.

See this scene. The housekeeper asked incoherently: "This...what's going on?!! I...don't remember him coming in through the main entrance!!"

"Relax, I'm afraid he never left. It's a little bit of magical skill, which makes everyone ignore his own existence. Alright. Go ahead, let me deal with this person." Henry said comfortingly He patted the frightened butler, walked directly into the house, and sat directly opposite the old man without saying a word.

He was not in a hurry to speak, but first ordered the maid to bring some desserts and fruits, and finally asked with a smile: "I kept you waiting for a long time, I really didn't expect that a busy person like you would sit down I've been waiting here all afternoon."

"Hehe. You underestimate your own influence. But I'm still a little curious, how did you recognize me?" The old man with a gray beard asked back while tasting the exquisite snacks. He looked a bit informal, and he didn't even care that his beard was stained with cream, so he just wiped it off with his sleeve.

Henry didn't explain, just stretched out a finger, and wrote two sparkling words Terminsel—Elminster in the air.

"It's a simple crossword game, isn't it? Tummins Ayr-Elminster, it just takes a little attention to get the result. And you've used that alias so many times, it's not really a secret at all. "

obviously. The old man sitting on the sofa is the first voter of the Goddess of Magic, one of the founders of the Harper Alliance, and the great sage of the Shadow Valley known to everyone in the Faerun Continent——Ilminster. Maybe his spellcasting level can only be ranked in the low twenties in the long river of history, but his keen insight and extraordinary wisdom cannot be underestimated.

After Elminster completely ate up a piece of cake, he picked up the pipe again and took a deep breath. Then he said very seriously: "Since you have recognized me, you must also know the purpose of my visit this time."

"Of course. It's nothing more than two points. First, about the virus that can destroy an entire city at once. Second, the powerful explosion that caused a strong earthquake."

Henry hardly concealed anything, and freely admitted what he had done. Because he knows that the most important reason why voters are voters is that they can directly contact the gods they believe in. News and information that are difficult to obtain for ordinary people may be asked by voters, and God will personally give the answer.

The dark girl Eilistra said when she was underground that countless gods had already noticed what happened there, so there was no need to hide it. As the goddess who controls the magic net of the entire world, although Mystra cannot directly get out of the magic net The specific structure of the spell can be found in the net, but the power of the explosion at that time can be calculated.

So whether you admit it or not, at least in the eyes of the Harper Alliance, Henry has become an out-and-out dangerous element. Not only does he possess terrifying destructive power, but he has never clearly shown his camp orientation. You must know that in their view, everything that cannot be determined means danger, and those who need to test, control, monitor, and even some radicals think that coercive measures should be taken.

Elminster let out the smoke from his mouth. Gently nodded: "That's right, the main purpose of my coming today is to destroy that terrible virus. I believe you should understand that this terrible thing should not stay in this world, it is too dangerous Yes, once it is used by some evil guys, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Destroy? Why! I believe that the magic plague in the hands of Ravok, the king of wizards in the tomb of the wizard, must be more powerful, but no one asked him to destroy it. Could it be that the Harper Alliance thinks I am more reasonable? , so follow their orders as it should be?" Henry sneered with a hint of disdain. In his opinion, the Harper Alliance completely regarded themselves as those stupid ordinary adventurers, and wanted to interfere with their own behavior.

Elminster obviously did not expect that this request would provoke a strong backlash. He stroked the beard on his chin. Frowning, he asked, "So... you are unwilling to destroy such a terrible thing?"

Henry nodded confidently: "That's right! It is the result of my research, and the ultimate goal is to create a medicine that can greatly improve the quality of the human body. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."

"Maybe your intentions are good, but it is indeed a huge threat to all creatures now. Jasila has described to us the tragedy of the sahuagin city, although you are careful not to let it spread, But there is no guarantee that it will be the same in the future. Do you know? Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, has issued a decree to let her followers steal this virus with terrible power." Elminster's expression was very serious, and it seemed that It doesn't seem like a joke.

The goddess of poison and disease--Talona, ​​also known as the lady of poison, the lady of disease, and the mother of all plagues. She had served Baal, Lord of Slaughter, for a long time, along with Ravita, Maiden of Pain. But after the fall of Baal, he fell into Shar's dark web.

As a knowledgeable mage, Henry certainly knew what would happen if this mutated animal virus fell into Talona's hands, maybe it only needed a few outbreaks on the main plane. This goddess can get a new priesthood, and from then on, she can gain the fear of mortals, and her godhead level may also be raised from weak to medium.

With such a big temptation, anyone would go all out regardless of the cost. He can even feel that Madame Disease's believers will gather around him in a short time. Even if the virus is destroyed now, these guys will do everything possible to get the production method from his mouth, otherwise they will never give up.

Elminster noticed the gloomy expression on Henry's face, and then smiled triumphantly: "Hehe. It seems that you have realized the seriousness of the problem, and it's not too late to change your mind."

"No, on the contrary, I am here waiting for the arrival of these fellows who spread pain and disease. If they dare to do anything to make me unhappy, then the goddess of poison and disease - Talona has no need to exist Yes. I will crush her foundation on the main plane, and then send her to the star realm with my own hands. I believe that the Harper Alliance must know where these people are, and take this sentence for me, without any modification. "After speaking, Henry exuded a terrifying breath all over his body. Especially the looming curse fire in his hand made people feel suffocated for a while.

"Are you sure you want to be an enemy of a god?!" Elminster asked in surprise.

"I'm already in a hostile state with several gods." Henry narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully. Now he doesn't itch when there are too many lice, and doesn't worry when there are too many debts. Anyway, the exception has completely offended Rose, the spider goddess, and Shar, the Lost lady, is also doing tricks, so it doesn't matter if there is one more Talona.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Elminster sighed helplessly: "Hey. Well... I hope you won't regret it. Young man, although you now have great power, the gods still cannot be underestimated Otherwise, it will not take long to pay a heavy price for this.”

"Thank you for your reminder. I never underestimate any enemy, and I also never underestimate my ability. Anyone who wants to get something from me, it is best to consider the price. Otherwise... I don't mind letting These guys pay ten times or even a hundred times the interest, even gods are no exception." After speaking, a cold light flashed in Henry's eyes, and at the same time he had made up his mind to see that if Talona really didn't open his eyes and bumped into him, then he would also I don't mind setting off a battle between man and god.
