Baldur's Gate is named after the legendary pirate Bodan. He often sailed across the sea of swords. In his own name, he built a tower by the sea to serve as a guide to his home and to avoid being invaded by his counterparts from the north. Later, merchants and coast guards built walls to protect their goods from outside danger, but they deliberately excluded the port area from the walls and imposed a fee on the ship's cargo and personnel, and the captains were angry at their selfishness and refused to pay the entrance fee. When he returned, Bodan found that the pirates were locked out of the new walls, unable to withstand attacks from orcs and barbarians, and had to pay a high price to enter the city. In the early summer of that year, the orcs launched a surprise attack, but civil strife broke out in the city.

Enraged, Bod'an led the captains to kill the selfish and arrogant merchants and captains, and dissolved the council of the established peasants. He spared only four people because they did not support the decision of the parliament. Bodean paid for it and urgently ordered the construction of the façade and built a bridge gate, which is how the Bod's Gate got its name. After combining great force and strong defense, the orcs were finally defeated. Bodean appointed the four men as dukes and stayed at Baldur's Gate. Today, the duke's title has been retained, but the specific candidates are elected by the parliament. When all this was over, Bodean set out to sea in search of the fabled island of Angome. Never came back. And Ancomé Island is the target of everyone this time.

In the morning, the group came to the thieves' union, and the thieves who looked out of the wind had already come to Henry's office after a brief greeting. When the leader of the thieves saw him, he stood up and smiled and said, "Welcome! Welcome! Isn't this our Mr. Goldmine? What good things did you bring with you this time, you have been called a master of pharmacies in the past year. Henry walked up to him and shook his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't bring anything this time." But I have a business for you. First of all, bring Robert, I'm going to take him this time. Secondly, help me find the most difficult voyage records of Bodean, and it is best to find the charts. The last thing is to help me buy a boat, big and sturdy enough. The crew and captain will personally go to the dock area to hire them, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Alatus gently stroked his goatee and said, "I'll help you investigate the chart, but you'll have to wait a few days." It's a bit expensive to buy a sea boat this season, but I don't think that's a problem for you. I'll get you in touch with the ship first, but I'll get 15 percent of the tap. ”

Henry nodded and said, "No problem, but it's better to be faster." After that, he followed Alatez's men to find Robert. It didn't take long for them to come to a mermaid bar called Blush, according to the introduction of the leading thieves, this is ostensibly a bar, but in fact it is a ** and a casino behind the scenes. On the second floor, Henry saw Robert at a glance, who was crouching in the corner and observing everyone in the casino. Robert also saw his master and hurriedly stood up and walked over. Henry looked at him with a sophisticated look, it seemed that he had matured a lot this year. Then he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come with me, we have already said hello to Alatus." Now come with me to the port area and hire an experienced captain and some sailors in the tavern there. ”

Robert used a special gesture to communicate with the person in charge of the counter, and then followed the group out of the blushing mermaid bar. On the way to the dock, he looked at his sister, who was already thin and thin, and had some girlish posture. It seems that my sister has had a good year, and she can no longer see the previous caution in her eyes, but instead she has intellectuality and wisdom. He said softly to Amy, "My dear sister, what have you done in the past year to make such a big change?" Amy covered her mouth and smiled, "Dear brother, you know, I have been taught by an archmage for a year. I've read more books than you've ever heard in the last year. Robert nodded and smiled.

Soon the crowd was in the docks, and Henry turned to Robert and asked, "You have been in the union for a year, so you must know where the sailors and captains in the vicinity of here usually go?" The boy nodded and said, "Yes, master, I am basically familiar with all the buildings and sewers in the whole city. Most of the boats docked here, and the people on board would come down to the tavern in Juppelin, have a few drinks, and then stay for the night. If you're recruiting captains and sailors, it's the best place to go. The group followed Robert directly to the Juppelin Tavern, located north of the docklands.

As soon as you entered, you could smell a strong smell of alcohol and a lot of noisy noises, and the chaotic sailors sang nonsense songs from time to time and poured them down in one gulp. Seeing that one of Henry's group actually had a brown bear bartender, he immediately came up to him and said, "Sorry, we don't allow large animals here." Henry took out a dozen gold coins from his pocket and threw them to the bartender, saying, "It's my friend, and I want to be treated like a normal person here." The bartender took the gold and stuffed it into his pocket and said, "All right, but if we hurt someone, we won't be responsible." "Rest assured, my animal companions won't move around without my orders. Also, I'd like to ask you if there are any captains waiting to be hired here lately? If you help me find it, I can pay you fifty gold coins. Henry said. The bartender stood there and thought for a moment and said, "There is a man who meets your requirements, he lives here now and is called Hawke, and he is a very experienced captain. However, the last time his ship went to sea, he was cursed by the goddess of bad luck, Bensaba, and the ship was knocked over as soon as it encountered a sea demon whale. Now everyone thinks he is doomed and unwilling to hire him. I can help you get in touch if you need it. ”

Henry nodded and said, "Take me to this Captain Hawke now." With that, he took out fifty gold coins and handed them over. The bartender happily took the money and put it in his pocket, turned around and led Henry upstairs. Coming to the second floor, the bartender walked to a door and slapped it vigorously, shouting, "Hawke! Old Hawke! Get up, there are employers willing to hire you. It took three minutes for the door to open, and out came a fifty-year-old man with messy hair and a beard. Seeing the two people at the door, he asked, "Who!" Who's going to hire me. Henry stepped forward and said, "Hello Captain Hawke, my name is Henry, and I'm going to hire you." The bartender saw the two of them connect and said, "Okay, now that you've met, let's talk slowly." I went downstairs first. With that, he walked away. Hawke looked at Henry carefully and said, "All right, young gentleman, please come into the house and talk." ”

As soon as he entered the room he smelled of alcohol, and Hawke found a chair and sat down, and said, "Mr. Henry, please give me a brief introduction of the ship that will be handed over to me." In addition, it is best to tell me about the route you plan to run. Henry said to the old man, "Mr. Captain, let me tell you the truth, I don't plan to trade, and my ship is still being bought." I am planning to go on an expedition, and rest assured that I will pay a lump sum of 1,000 gold coins for this voyage. Hawke frowned and said, "You don't have a ship yet?" That is, not even a sailor. And what about the destination of the adventure? Are there charts? Seeing the old man's doubts, he said, "Don't worry, Captain Hawke, I have entrusted the thieves' guild in the city with the purchase of the ship. Their work has always been good, and news will be available tomorrow afternoon at the latest. I'm sorry I can't say what the destination of the adventure will be for now, but I'll give you the charts when I go to sea. If you agree, we can sign a contract now, and then I'll pay half of my salary up front. ”

Hawke looked at him with some surprise and said, "If it's the thieves' guild, then there won't be any problems with the ship, okay, let's sign a contract now." Soon the two drew up a contract in which it was stated that all the proceeds of the voyage would go to Henry, and that Captain Hawke would be paid half of the five hundred gold coins after the contract was signed. The other half is paid on board after sailing to the destination. After signing in duplicate, Henry smiled and said to Hawke, "Well, Mr. Captain, this is half of your payment." In addition, I would like to entrust you with helping me recruit trustworthy and experienced sailors. With that, he took out a thousand gold coins and put them on the table. When the old captain saw the gold coins, his eyes lit up and he said, "No problem, five hundred gold coins are enough to recruit more than fifty good players." I'll take care of that. "Then I'll leave first, and if anything needs to come to me, go to the Elven Song Hotel near the city gates. I've been living there for the past few days. With that, he turned and went downstairs.

Back on the first floor, Henry saw that Cagan had mingled with the sailors around him, and a large glass of wine was pouring into his mouth. Robert stood in front to protect his sister from the dirty sailors. Ares sat bored and napped, while Bambock flew to the roof and sang a song of yin and yang. Amy was quietly reading a notebook in her hand, unaffected by her surroundings. He walked up to them and shouted, "All right, guys, don't make a fuss, the captain has already negotiated." Now let's go back to the hotel. Everyone put down what they were doing and followed Henry out of the noisy tavern. At the door, the dwarf burped and said, "Henry, how many days are we going to stay on the ship this time?" Henry thought about the in-game description and said, "It will probably take a few days and nights, don't worry, I'll protect our ship." Cagan muttered, "You know, dwarves always think it's best to have their feet on the ground." The shaky environment at sea is going to drive me crazy. He ignored the dwarves' complaints, and led the group back to the Elven Song Inn to stay and wait for news.
