PS: Bow and thank Yam Pan Pan and Yinyue の Ice for their monthly votes, and thank yyaJy2304 book friends for their rewards.

The man looked at everyone cautiously, and was slightly relieved when he saw Ammon. Because as far as he knew, there were no such young girls in the entire bandit camp. "My name is Andle. If you don't mind, can you untie the rope first? ”

Henry cast a color at Apodell, who drew his sword and cut the gritty rope.

Andel moved his aching wrist for a moment, and after a while he spoke, "It's no ordinary bandit gathered here. Some of them are the Blackclaw mercenary group, and the other part is the cold-blooded gang. The leader of the Cold-Blooded Gang is a cunning goblin who calls him Adenau. Conqueror. ”

Jasila suddenly realized that this guy seemed to know a lot of secrets, and it was likely that he was a spy sent by some powerful force. In order to confirm her inference, she asked tentatively: "Who is Tazok working for?" Who exactly is the mysterious mage who rescued him? ”

Andel laughed when he heard the question. "Haha Good question. Crassie and the leader of the Blackclaw Mercenary Band, Taugos. Kosan thought he was working for the Santarim Society. But I can tell you plainly that this has nothing to do with the Santarim Society. I knew exactly who I was fighting against, and it had only one name. That's the Iron Throne! As for the mage you mentioned, I'm sorry, but I don't have his information on hand for the time being. ”

Hearing the words Iron Throne, Jasila suddenly remembered what Henry had said before. It seems that the recent events have something to do with them, and maybe these guys are plotting something bigger. Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to continue to ask: "Since you know the Iron Throne so well. So you must know where you can find these guys? ”

"Tazok often goes to the Cloak Forest. But I'd suggest you'd better rummage through the boxes over there first. There are quite a few documents in it that are worth seeing. The most rear. Thank you for getting me out. See you again, friends. Andel took out a bottle of potion from his body and threw it on the ground, and the entire tent was instantly filled with a thick white mist. By the time the "wind-making technique" had blown away the fog, the guy was gone.

Henry picked up the bottle on the ground and sniffed it, immediately recognizing this alchemical potion produced in his own territory. It is a byproduct of a failed experiment and serves no purpose other than to produce large amounts of smoke. But it was this smoke potion that could be sold for fifty gold coins a bottle, and it was in short supply in the Baldur's Gate and Ammu regions. He now finally knew what these potions were selling so well for. It turned out to be used by spies, thieves, and thieves as a cover for escape.

Apodell couldn't wait to open the box, but was pulled back by Ammon. The girl shouted a warning: "Don't touch it!" There's a deadly magic trap on it. ”

Henry immediately cast a second-level magic spell "Finding Traps", and the box instantly flashed with red magical aura. Sure enough, as Ammon said, there was a magic trap blessed on it. Unhurriedly, the girl took out a small tool bag from her pocket, and then carefully broke the magic pattern on the seal of the box.

This is a dangerous task, as a single mistake can trigger the magical energy stored within. The others all stood back slightly, and soon Ammon had razed out the magic lines, layer by layer, with strange tools.

"That's it! Now let me see what kind of treasure is in here, and how to go through such a complicated protection trap. As she spoke, the girl picked open the lock on the top and lifted the lid of the box directly.

Jasila and Apodell rushed over to rummage together. A few minutes later, they found a large pile of gold coins, a few magic scrolls, and two letters that had not had time to be sent. One of them is addressed to the Killer to hunt down an adventurer who is destroying the plan. But even a fool can see it. This party refers to Apodell and his party.

Another letter mentions that the robbers also have a secret base for hoarding iron ore in the Cloak Forest. Moreover, Shalovok's name is mentioned several times in the letter. Apodell angrily punched the wooden box, and the box was instantly punched out of a large hole, and the surrounding sawdust collapsed everywhere.

"Damn it! I knew that Glion's death must have something to do with them. These guys have been hiring killers all along, and the bounty hunters they meet along the way must be their work. ”

Jacilla read the two letters carefully, and then turned her head and asked Henry, "Who is Shalophok?" Could it be the mage who saved Tazok? ”

"Shalovok is the adopted son of the leader of the Iron Throne. As far as I know, he was a warrior a few years ago, when we worked together to repel the monster hordes outside Belgoust. Again, Henry provided limited intelligence.

According to the plan, when Lao Sha completely disrupts the entire Baldur's Gate, he will immediately unite with Anta. The Duke of Silver Shield cleansed away all other forces. At that time, it is only necessary to control public opinion, and soon the duke will be able to change from an electoral system to a feudal hereditary system. Not only can you increase your title by one level, but you can also divide up a lot of land, wealth, and trade routes under the control of the Iron Throne.

Henry believed in Anta. Silver Shield will not miss such an opportunity. The two of them could even go one step further and split the land of Baldur's Gate in two, so that even the establishment of two hereditary principalities would have no problem at all. After all, there is no strong force in the north, and Amm in the south is content with the status quo.

Just as he was thinking about how to embezzle and divide the profits, Minsk, Khalid and Dinahhei, who were outside cleaning up the spoils, returned. In addition to bringing back a large amount of gold and gems, they also found a steel full-body armor, a magic flail, and a heavy shield reinforced with spells.

Dinah Black asked the two warriors to put their things on the ground and said to Jasila, "I'm sorry, we didn't find any valuable clues. However, I found a lot of weapons and equipment, gold coins and gems. ”

"It's okay, we've just gotten quite a bit of information. The next target of the operation is the Cloak Forest, where the robbers also have a secret base. As she spoke, Jasila handed the letter to the witch.

The shirtless Apodell put his whole body armor on his body. His armor had been corroded by the strong acid in the battle just now, and now this one was just the right thing to do. Henry also performed two "discernments" on the Meteor Hammer and the gloves left behind by Tazok.

Flails: "Chaos Fury"

The Grey Dwarves have created a chaotic fury for the sake of war, and they have endured a long history of bloody wars and horrific sieges between the Grey Dwarves and many of their enemies. The handle of this flail is reinforced wood, and the barbed iron ball is enchanted to deal extra damage on each hit.

Equipment Effect:

Added additional puncture damage.

Weapon Specialist Gloves: "Master's Legacy"

This is a coveted item for novice fighters. This item once belonged to the royal family of Slakai, and thanks to the Prince's amazing combat skills, the owner of this glove has become proficient in a wide variety of hand-to-hand weapons. However, most of the previous wearers ended in bloody scenes; Because this pair of gloves can only give experience in battle, but it cannot bring the wisdom to stop fighting.

Equipment Effect:

Adds extra damage and hit chance.

Next is the time to distribute the loot. The Weapons Specialist Glove and the "Chaos Fury" were thrown to Apodell, while the "Agile Gauntlet" he was carrying was given to Minsk. The shield was assigned to Khalid, and the magic scroll was given to Dinah Black. At the end, everyone looked at the piles of gold, silver, coins and precious stones on the ground, and they were a little overwhelmed.

After all, these are all obtained by robbers and merchants, and they should normally be considered stolen goods. But it is obviously impossible to return them to their original owners, not to mention whether the lost owner is alive or not, just claiming them is a troublesome matter. After some heated debate, it was decided that half of the coins would be donated to the temple of the good gods, and the other half would be kept as payment. As for the gems, all of them were given to Henry, who contributed the most in the battle.

After completing the assignment, everyone found a place in their tent and began to sleep. After all, it was still dark outside, and everyone was already a little tired after fighting for most of the night. Khalid, in particular, was now pale, clearly a symptom of excessive blood loss. In order to give everyone a better rest, Henry put the Adamantite Golem in charge of the vigil.

Apodell soon fell asleep. In his dream, he saw a statue that looked exactly like himself, and the voice that had bothered him last time reappeared, and loudly mocked himself for not deserving such a victory. The last statue was poked by a dagger that appeared out of thin air, and he immediately felt a pain that pierced his heart. I vaguely heard the voice whispering in my ear: "You are my creation!" It can also be destroyed by me! Hearing this, he suddenly woke up from his dream.

"Apodell, you've been talking in your sleep. Did you have some terrible nightmare, maybe you would feel better if you said it. Ammon handed the kettle over and looked at him with concern.

Apodell unscrewed the kettle and poured cold water into his mouthful, his body already soaked with sweat. After stabilizing his mood a little, he smiled bitterly and recounted the dream just now. At the end, he also mentioned that he had now gained a new natural ability. This is already the third dream. Every time after a lot of killing, I will have similar nightmares, and when I wake up, I will find that I have another natural ability.

Ammon pondered for a moment and said to Apodell, "It's better to ask Jasila or Henry about this kind of thing." They are both experienced adventurers and trusted friends as well. But I always feel like these two people are hiding something, maybe it has something to do with your background. ”

"You have a point. I'll ask tomorrow. Go to bed early, we're on our way tomorrow. So saying, Apodell drove Aemon to sleep, while he lay on the ground and opened his eyes to wonder what secret was hidden here. (To be continued......)
