Chapter 189: The Beginning of Divinity

Henry noticed that Apodell's eyes were clearly wrong, and that he was much more powerful than before. Could it be that this is the precursor to the awakening of the killing divinity? Just in case, he walked over and snatched a two-handed sword. "Hey! Buddy. Your condition is a bit wrong, do you need me to treat you? ”

Dale shuddered, and suddenly came back to his senses. "I didn't ...... It's fine. I seem to have lost a bit of control just now, it must have been too much pressure lately. Right! It must be like this! ”

Ammon walked over and patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Relax, everyone here has seen that he is attacking, you are just defending yourself." Let's go in and have a drink, and as for the contents of the corpse, it should be regarded as compensation to the hotel. ”

Henry walked over to the bar and spoke to the bartender, who happily accepted the suggestion. Soon the innkeepers stripped the body and carried it outside, waiting for the sheriff to inspect it before sending it to a field outside the town to be buried. Apodell sat on a chair in front of the bar, listlessly drinking the "golden sands" in his glass. A large area automatically vacated around him, and the bloody scene just now frightened these ordinary people.

After answering the sheriff's question, Henry walked over and asked Apodell, "How is it, are you feeling better now?" ”

"I don't know what to say, it feels like I'm in a dream just now. Do you think I'm going to be a murderer in the future? Apodell smiled wryly, and then poured the wine from the glass down in one gulp.

Henry patted him on the shoulder comfortingly and sat down in the chair next to him. "You have to learn to control your emotions, especially some of the desires to kill and destroy. Remember, you are the master of your body. Don't let those jumbled thoughts sway you. ”

"I'll try to control them in the future. There was a voice shouting in my head just now. Kill him! Kill him! Then I didn't know what to do, and it suddenly got out of control. Apodell rubbed his eyes. It seems that the awakening of divinity has caused him a lot of trouble.

"That's right! Where is Ammon? I remember she seemed to be with you just now. Henry began to change the subject. He didn't want to tell the truth just yet. After all, this involves a grudge between several powerful gods, and it is not good for you to get involved rashly, and it is not good to attract the attention of the gods in advance.

Apodell pointed in the direction of the staircase. "Aemon is an optimist, and I haven't seen anything that can make her feel worried. You see, she's found the potion merchant named Porto, and she's forcing him to hand over all his belongings. ”

"You should learn more from her, that's what adventurers should be." As he spoke, Henry stood up and walked over, intending to teach this guy a lesson. Magic potions are a delicate craft. Changing recipes and proportions like this is a joke on the lives of the drinkers.

"Hey! Ammon. Do you need help? I can turn this guy into a frog or a rabbit or something. Then fill all the potions in his pocket and see if something wonderful happens. After saying that, Henry's hands began to flash all kinds of magic aura.

Porto's eyes widened, and his throat subconsciously swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva. "Don't! Don't! Calm down friend. I'm going to hand over everything I have. With that, he quickly unfastened his belt bag and threw it to the girl, turned and ran out of the hotel door.

Unfortunately, Henry didn't intend to let him go, only to see a red light hit Porto. He fell headlong to the ground, his face and body quickly bulging with countless blisters, and the whole person looked as terrifying as a toad.

"Cool! It looks like this guy hasn't been able to come out to meet people for a while. Ammon said as he began to look through the contents of his bag. Soon she found a bottle of "medical potion", a bottle of "transformation elixir", and dozens of gold coins at the end of the bottle.

With the loot in hand, the three of them found a table where no one was around. And also called for a whole bunch of food. Just as the hearty meal was served, Jasila and Khalid walked in through the door. The two men looked serious. It looks like the news must be very bad.

"You guys are really good, now that the situation is so tense, you are still in the mood to eat a big meal." As soon as Jasila enters, she begins to educate Apodell and Ammon in criticism.

Looking at the red-faced faces of the two people, Henry smiled secretly in his heart. He really couldn't imagine how Apodell would fall in love with such a woman in the future. Maybe it's because of the lack of maternal love since childhood, so the great Chanem prefers more mature women?

Just as he was maliciously conjecturing, Jasila ended today's lecture. She sat down unceremoniously to eat what was on the table, and even Khalid felt a little embarrassed. The five of them ended their dinner in this eerie atmosphere, and then the couple shared the news they had just discovered.

Now the price of iron products in the entire Baldur's Gate area has increased fivefold, and I am afraid that it will not be long before ordinary civilians can not even afford pots and spoons. What's even more terrifying is that due to the rising price of iron, the weapons and armor of the guards in many places cannot be repaired, and once a monster invasion occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After hearing the news, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Henry lay in bed and pondered Shaloferk's plan. His purpose is obvious, which is to send the people into a panic and then appear as a savior. When the time comes, it is only necessary to shift all the blame to Am, and it can justifiably provoke a war. Those who die in this war will become sacrifices for Shalovk's refining and killing divinity. As long as the number of dead people is enough, it is very likely that he will directly ignite the divine fire and inherit Baal's priesthood.

There is a reason why Shalovok can stand out among the many sons of Barr. This kind of elaborate and huge plan alone is a hundred times stronger than those "five descendants" who kill each other. The former is able to act completely on his own volition, while the latter is played by Melissand. Thinking of this, Henry began to look forward to fighting these strong men. The current opponents are so weak that he can't be interested at all.

The night is almost over. The next morning, everyone packed up and went to the house next to the "Happy Artist" hotel. Apodell pointed to the gate and said, "This is the house of Landering, and according to the old man's description, there should be four giant spiders in it." ”

Jasila quickly blessed herself with the "Bark Technique", and then performed another "Blessing Technique". She looked at her teammates seriously: "Be careful!" Remember, don't hesitate to drink the antidote if you are bitten by a spider. With that, he clenched his spear and kicked open the door, and was the first to walk in.

"Damn! It's a giant spider! They must be over the norm for their length. Jasila let out a shout and rolled out of the room, her hair and leather armor covered in slimy cobwebs. When everyone was a little stunned, a few spider legs covered with black fluff suddenly stretched out from the door.

"Block the door! Don't let these spiders escape, once they run to other houses, it's going to be a problem. Henry loudly reminded Apodell and Ammon, who were still in a daze. He then quickly completed the spell casting action, unleashing a "flaming hand" aimed at the newly emerging spider at the door.

A two-meter-long fan-shaped flame erupted from the mage's palm, forcing the eight-legged monsters back in the blink of an eye. Ignoring the net wrapped around her hair, Jasila rushed over and pinned a spider in place with her spear. Khalid used his shield to open the fangs of the other spiders, piercing its brain with a single sword.

The skillful cooperation of Jasila and his wife opened the eyes of the two rookies, and Aemon came back to his senses, quickly pulled the short bow in his hand and began to aim and shoot arrows, at such a close distance, the power of the arrows easily penetrated the spider's shell. Armed with his two-handed sword, Aboldel slashed off a hairy leg in one fell swoop, squirting white juice all over his body.

Dale wiped his face and asked loudly, "Damn!" These slimy things aren't poisonous, right? ”

Jacilla drew her spear and glanced at him. "Don't worry! These white juices are very nutritious, and it doesn't matter if you eat them. ”

"Phew! Bah! Even if I starve to death, I won't eat this slimy stuff, it looks disgusting. Apodell spat out the slime from his mouth, then raised his two-handed sword and stabbed it into the giant spider's mouth. The sharp blade pierced the monster's brain, and it rolled over and twitched a few times before never moving again.

With the cooperation of Henry's spell, everyone killed all the super-giant spiders with limbs in a few minutes. Ammon and Jasila went in to clean the eggs in the house, and turned out the boots and wine that the old woman needed. Apodell pried off a few fangs with his weapon as evidence, preparing to return the mission the next time he passed by the Friendly Arm.

Since the battle took place outdoors, the patrolling guards were soon notified. Just as everyone had finished cleaning the dirt off their bodies, a team of heavily armed soldiers arrived. After examining the giant spider carcass, the sheriff believed Apodell's words. After a word of thanks, he let the soldier carry the body away.

Henry glanced at the growing number of civilians around him and immediately said to his companion, "Let's go, or we will see the crowd filling this place in a while, and it will not be so easy for us to get out." ”

"That's right, it's been a few days to walk through the wilderness of the southern wilderness, and we don't have much time to delay." With that, Jasila took the lead in squeezing through the crowd and headed for the exit south of Belgost.

Leaving the town, the group soon entered the endless wilderness. They walked along the path to the south, and it didn't take long for them to come across a small child. From his mouth, it was known that the robbers on this road seemed to rob only the merchants with iron. (To be continued......)
