Chapter 246: Detoxification and Revisiting the Iron Throne
Both signatories knew that Haim, the god of the guards, had testified to the contract, and anyone who violated it would be punished immediately. When the contract came into effect, Lisa was visibly relieved. She smiled and said to Henry, "Count, under the witness of the gods, we are now close allies. Shouldn't you also tell me about your plan, so that I can rest assured? ”
"No problem." Henry was in a good mood when he got a large piece of land. In particular, the Green Fields are the largest and safest grain producing areas in the western part of the continent. This means that as long as development and supervision are intensified, it is possible to control the lifeblood of all the surrounding forces. He simply said the whole plan selectively, and Lisa was startled.
This messenger from Amm didn't expect that there was actually a prophecy of the "wise man" Arlando mixed here. If all this is a conspiracy left by the god of killing, Bal, to be the descendants of the mortal world, then spending such a small amount of land to settle it is simply a lot of money. You must know that whenever the gods are involved, it is common for a country to be destroyed.
After receiving the news that Shalovok was Baal's son, Lisa immediately stood up and took her leave. She needed to get the news out to the Council of Six and the Masked Mage's Guild as soon as possible. After all, Arlando had prophesied that the offspring of the god of murder would bring endless killing and death. This kind of thing must be prevented early, and Amm can't afford any turmoil right now.
Seeing the woman leave the Earl's Court, Henry handed the contract to Robert. "Send someone to take this and take the land. By the way, clean up those in power for me, if there are bad intentions of the guys who make small moves, you should know what to do. ”
"Rest assured, I'll send my best team to do it. However, you should send some officials as soon as possible, and many places have begun to be abandoned due to the lack of effective management. With that, the leader of the thieves put the contract close to him. Jumped out of the study window.
Look at the back of the leader of the thieves in the distance. Henry shook his head with a wry smile. The situation is so chaotic right now. How dare he transfer those officials who have no ability to protect themselves? The establishment of an administrative system should wait until after the death of Shalofok, otherwise it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others. This guy is now starting to get carried away, intending to kill all the upper rulers at the Duke's coronation ceremony in three days, and then transform the entire Baldur's Gate into a giant war machine.
Arriving in the hall on the first floor, Henry saw that Apodell and his party had eaten and drunk enough, and were sitting on chairs discussing what to do next. He walked over and slapped the table hard. "Guys, stop arguing. You'd better detoxify yourself first. ”
"Damn! I almost forgot if you didn't say it. Apodell scratched at his hair in exasperation. There's not much time left, so what's the matter with calling us? ”
Henry smiled and pointed at himself and said, "You don't need to go to the priestess of that evil camp at all. Because I can undo the effect of the magic of "Command". ”
Apodell threw the Book of Understanding on the table and complained, "Oh my God, we've traveled so far in vain, and we've lost a lot of money." ”
"It's not a loss in vain, at least the book is still very useful. Now take me to the thief, knowing that we only have three days left. As he spoke, Henry took the Book of Understanding in his hand.
Jasila sighed deeply. "How are you prepared? In three days, Shaloferk would become a duke. ”
"I've drawn out the elite army that has always been on its way here, and it is estimated that it will be in the vicinity of the city at noon tomorrow. Don't worry, I've already discussed with Duke Silvershield about launching a surprise attack while the canonization ceremony is taking place in Shaloferk. Your mission is to kill this guy and don't let him run away. ”
When he heard that an army was coming to his aid, Apodell's confidence immediately increased. I saw him clench his fists with a hideous expression and said, "Don't worry." He can't run away. I'm going to crush the bones of this guy inch by inch to avenge Gri'an. ”
After using a spell to change his appearance slightly, Henry joined the adventurer again. Take advantage of the time when no one is looking. He used the Book of Understanding and added a bit of wisdom. The group avoided the soldiers who were searching for them, and soon came to an inn called "Knives and Morning Star".
The crowd soon found Roshanda on the second floor. Henry lifted the spell from him, and the thief not only handed over half of the antidote, but also revealed that the other half of the antidote was on Mark on the second floor of the "Red-faced Mermaid" bar. With half a bottle of antidote, the group hurriedly ran towards the northeast of the city.
As soon as they walked into the "red-faced mermaid", they were attacked by an ogre. The detoxified Apodell directly turned on the crazy mode and cut off the guy's head in three or two clicks. While searching for loot, Aeon found a pair of stinking magical gloves on the corpse. After a brief cleanup, the magic gloves were placed on Khalid's hands.
Walking up the stairs to the second floor, Apodell saw at a glance Mark who had threatened him. Without saying a word, he started fighting, where could this thief be the opponent of the son of God, and he was chopped into minced meat in just one minute. After getting all the antidotes, everyone took a small sip, and under the examination of the divine arts, they were relieved to find that all the toxins in their bodies had disappeared.
On Mark's corpse, Ammon found a magical shortbow and an enchanted sharp dagger, which quickly revealed specific attributes after some identification.
Shortbow, Eagle Bow: "Guardian of the Dryad"
In order to protect her homeland from the orc lumberjacks, the dryads of the Gosmere Forest gave the bow to the hero Hannibal in white. The orcs began to cut down a large ancient oak tree, and the dryads attached to it were nearly killed. With the help of the forest animals, Hannibal beat the orcs to the ground before they could wreak havoc. All the orcs who survived fled back to their original bases, not daring to act rashly again. Of course, from then on, Hannibal, the great hero who defeated the orcs and helped the dryad, lived a happy life. No, it should be said that it is a "very" happy life.
Equipment Capabilities:
Arrows shot are boosted by the amount of power
All normal arrows are automatically enchanted
Increases damage and hit chance
It's a really great magic shortbow. However, Ammon already had the Phantom Bow that didn't require arrows, so the weapon had to be temporarily placed in Apodel's magic pocket.
In order not to cause trouble, Henry quietly gave the thieves who were watching the scene a sum of money, and told him not to tell the story of what had just happened. The thief saw a small bag of gold coins and nodded his head in agreement. Back in the hall on the first floor, everyone took a picture of the sitting posture and sat down to relax. The poison made everyone a little nervous, and the feeling of racing against death was too scary.
While Apodel was drinking leisurely, a dwarf crept over and whispered, "Hello, my name is Ivan, and I'm a bard." Interested in spending ten gold coins to listen to a bizarre story that happened recently? ”
The dwarf's words immediately caught Jasila's attention. She stared at Ivan and replied, "Of course I'm interested." But first you have to say who the main character of this story is. ”
Ivan cautiously looked around and confirmed that he noticed this before he spoke: "Of course, the protagonist is the deputy commander of the Flame Fist, Scar. And I saw the whole process of his murder. ”
Hearing this, Apodell took out ten gold coins without hesitation. Ivan pocketed the gold coins and recounted what had happened at the Flame Fist headquarters that night. When she heard that Skar had been killed by a shapeshifter, Jasila sighed involuntarily. I have to say that the enemy is too cunning, especially those shapeshifters, which are simply unguardable.
After discussion, the group decided to investigate the Iron Throne headquarters again to see if there were still some shapeshifters hidden there. Walking through the heart of the city, they soon arrived at the headquarters of the Iron Throne. As soon as they entered the gate, Apodell and Aemon were startled by what they saw.
Almost all the merchants were packing up and preparing to evacuate. From these people's mouths, it was learned that Shalovok had invested all the goods and money of the Iron Throne in the preparation of the war. He had no regard for the interests of the merchants and unilaterally tore up all contracts.
Seeing such a scene of trees falling and scattering, Ammon was a little overwhelmed and asked, "What should we do now?" It seems that there is no valuable information to be found here. ”
"We went straight to the fifth floor. Last time, the shapeshifters were there to kill the merchant and then turn into their form. I can only feel at ease if I have seen the fifth floor, otherwise these monsters that change back and forth are a huge hidden danger. Apodell replied, rubbing his forehead.
Since most of the guards had already evacuated, the group reached the fifth floor without hindrance. As soon as they stepped out of the staircase, a woman smiled and commanded the golem to surround them.
"Aha, look who this is! Apodell and his adventuring squad! Oh, and dear Count Angome. Don't think that if you use a little transformation spell, no one will recognize you. The other day Shalovok was worried that you would interfere with his plans, but that problem would soon be gone. for all of you will die at my hands. ”
Henry pointed to the golems around him, a look of disdain on his face. "Really? Just by you ugly old woman and these stone lumps? ”
"You filthy bedbug! How dare I say I'm ugly and old! Go to hell! Die! Kill them all! The woman went crazy and let the golem attack, while she chanted a spell at a loud voice. (To be continued......)
