In winter, Belgoust evenings are very quiet, and most of the residents go home early after a busy day, light the fireplace and warm up around the fire to eat. The streets were windy, and only a small number of adventurers and drunkards came and went in and out of the tavern inn doors. When Lily had finished delivering the last bread, she returned home and led the horse into the house, where it was too cold for the cattle to die overnight. Lina saw her mother coming back and hurriedly walked over, took her coat and hung it on the wall, and said, "Mom, don't go to deliver bread on such a cold day, the money left by my brother is enough for us to live comfortably for a lifetime." ”

The mother shook her head and drove the horse into the empty room at the back, and said, "The money is not to be left untouched, for it is intended for your brother's marriage and your marriage." With that, he began to prepare dinner.

The little girl muttered angrily, "I don't want to get married." I want to learn magic and become a respected archmage like Lady Erastro. After saying that, she picked up the book her brother had left for him and began to concentrate on learning the reading and writing of the lingua franca.

Lily looked at her daughter and smiled, whether she could become a mage in the future or not, as long as she could read and write, she could become a scholar or an administrator. You don't have to work like you do every day, and when you get old, if you can't save a sum of money, you may end up begging on the streets. Looking at her daughter, she remembered her son, who had been home once a few months ago and had not been heard from again. I don't know how Lu Dao's son is doing, but with his status as a mage and druid, it shouldn't be too bad.

Just as she was thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door outside, and she immediately came back to her senses, put down the chicken in her hand, wiped her hands, and opened the door. Henry stood at the door with two animals and Amy looking at his mother and said, "Mom, I'm back to see you." This is Amy's new servant, the big brown bear is my animal companion, and this parrot is our travel companion. ”

Amy came up to Henry's mother and said, "Hello ma'am, I am the servant and assistant of the master, and my name is Amy. ”

Lily was stunned for a moment and nodded at the girl, then quickly hugged her son and said, "Hehe, just come back." Let's all go and sit in the room, it's too cold outside. "There was a little accident when he entered the house, Ares was a bit big, and he got stuck in the middle, and Heng kicked it hard with his foot before pushing it in.

When she entered the living room, her sister stood up in surprise and looked at the big brown bear and asked, "Brother, you brought a big bear back!" Oh my God, we don't know if the food in our house is enough to make it appetizing. ”

When Bambock entered the house, he warmed up and opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry about the little girl, this big stupid man is being fed by his master. To introduce myself, my name is Bamberk and I am the most majestic and beautiful parrot in the world. After speaking, he shook his wings.

Henry hurriedly said before it could open its mouth to talk nonsense: "Bamberk! This is my home, you are not allowed to talk nonsense here! In particular, don't swear, understand? ”

The parrot shook its head proudly and said, "I have always been polite in front of beautiful ladies, please ask me to be a gentleman." ”

Then the mother came to Henry and said, "Son, I think we may not have enough meat at home, so I'll go out and buy some." You and your friends sit here for a while. ”

He smiled, took out the two winter wolves from the dimensional bag, and said, "Mom, you can cook our food first, as for Ares, just stew the meat of these two winter wolves and put some salt and potatoes on it."

Lily looked at the two winter wolves, she was only talking about such ferocious and cunning monsters. And their skins are very valuable, a complete skin can be sold for fifteen hundred gold coins. When she came to her senses, she said to her son, "You killed them?" Are there any injuries? ”

"I'm fine, these two guys met on the way home. They were directing the wolves to attack the caravan, and I killed them all. Only Ares suffered a little frostbite. You see, there's a gift from the caravan leader for me. As he spoke, he took out the sapphire brooch and handed it to his mother.

Mother took the brooch and watched carefully. My sister also came over to her mother and said, "Mom, show me." Lily put the gemstone brooch in her pocket and said, "This is worth at least five hundred gold coins, but it's not a child's toy." Okay, come and help, and drag these two winter wolves to the kitchen. Then we took off the skins completely, and two skins were worth a lot of money. After dragging the two wolves into the kitchen, Henry helped his mother remove the two skins. Then half of the wolf meat was washed, the internal organs were removed, and the cauldron began to boil, and the other half was cut into small pieces and hung on a rope on the wall in the backyard.

Lily smiled as she handled the wolf skins and said to her son, who was helping with the cooking, "These two wolf skins are really good, they don't have any scars and can be sold for a good price." "Mom, the skin of the winter wolf can be used to protect against the cold very well, and you and your sister can wear two coats." Don't worry about money, I have at least tens of thousands of gold coins right now. Henry said to his mother as he scraped the potatoes. The mother raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes, and said, "Tens of thousands of gold coins!" Where did you get all this money? You're not going to do anything dangerous again, are you? He shook his head and said, "No, I made a few pieces of magic leather armor that were purchased by the thieves guild guys. They offered a price of more than 10,000 gold coins per piece. Lily sighed and said, "O my God! Magic is terrifying. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have seen more than a hundred gold coins put together in my lifetime. Well, listen to you, the winter wolf fur is no longer for sale, and when it is processed, I will make two coats and enjoy the life of the nobles. ”

Dinner was quickly ready, with chicken and mushroom soup on the table, a large piece of fried wolf steak and some bread per person. There was a large pot directly on the ground next to the table, full of potatoes and stewed wolf meat. The brown bear was already happily eating its meal. Lina happily cut off a piece of wolf rib with a knife and put it in her mouth, chewing it while saying to her brother, "Brother, who is this sister?" Is your new girlfriend? After hearing this, Amy's little face immediately turned red like a monkey's buttocks, and she quickly lowered her head and cut her own meat chops in a panic. Henry smiled at his little sister and said, "You have too many thoughts My dear sister, Amy and her brother are my servants at Baldur's Gate. Don't look at her cute and harmless, she is actually a warlock, you must know that one of the two winter wolves was hit by her. ”

Lina looked at her with wide eyes when she heard that the girl in front of her, who was slightly older than her, could actually deal with such a ferocious animal, and then asked, "Sister Amy, did you really defeat a winter wolf by yourself?" Amy blushed and coyly explained, "Actually, I just gave it a magic missile and used intimidation to scare it away." Bamberk chased after him and knocked it to the ground with a rainbow, and his master stabbed it in the eye with a scimitar. "Wow, you're pretty good." My sister exclaimed.

When the parrot heard the mention of its glorious deeds, he hurried away and said, "Of course, at the beginning of the battle, the great Bamberk rushed to the front of the battle and mocked the wolves. When these goofy dogs are enraged, your brother kills most of them with a single fireball. Of course, it's all my credit. Then, as the leader of the pack fled, I caught up and unleashed a fatal blow that knocked him to the ground. Now you know how powerful and mighty I am! Hurry up and praise me. ”

The people at the table laughed when they heard the parrot's boasting, and Henry turned to it and said, "All right, great Bamberk, it's time for you to eat." And keep your mouth shut, and don't defecate in the house. ”

After dinner, a few people gathered around the fireplace, and Ares fell to the ground and began to doze off. Amy and Lina are playing with ferrets, a small furry creature that can be extremely lethal to women. The mother sat down in a chair and said to Henry, "How long are you going to stay at home this time?" ”

He thought for a moment and replied, "Three or four days, I'll go see Cagan tomorrow." How has he been doing lately? ”

Lily smiled and said to him, "It couldn't be better, he now has all the things in the dwarven life, wealth, iron, and spirits." After talking to his mother for a while, he went back to his room and went to bed alone. Amy was placed in her sister's room, and the two little girls planned to sleep together.

The next morning, Henry got up, washed up briefly, had breakfast, and went to Cagan's house. The hammersmith shop was still frequented by many people even in this cold winter, and as soon as Henry walked through the door, he was recognized by the apprentice and hurriedly took him to the basement. As soon as I came down, I felt a heat wave, and the old dwarf was banging on a piece of blank. He stood aside and watched until Cagan had finished the task at hand before he walked up to greet him and said, "Hey! Cagan heard you've been doing wonderfully lately. The dwarf took a big sip of water and said, "Of course, didn't you see how good my business was when you came in!" What's the matter with your coming back this time? Henry smiled and said to him, "It's okay, just come back and see." Next, I'm going to go back to the high fence castle for the last study, and it will take me a whole year before I graduate. When the time comes, I want to go to sea and find an island to be my domain, and then get a noble title from the Council of Baldur's Gate to take my mother and sister to live in. You also know that Belgost is too dangerous, and is often attacked by ogres or trolls. ”

The dwarf nodded and said, "No way, most of the towns in the Northlands face such a problem. If you're going to go on an adventure, call me, my old bones can move. ”

"It's so good, if I go to sea, I will definitely come to you, and I'm relieved to see that you're okay. I went home first. After saying goodbye to the dwarf, Henry stayed in his home with his mother and sister for three days. On the fourth day he left Belgost with Amy and the two animals and went to the Mentor's castle. This will be his last apprenticeship.
