Henry glanced at the slightly excited dwarf suspiciously, and asked, "Could it be that the lords just watched these evil creatures underground, unscrupulously conducting illegal transactions on the outskirts of Waterdeep?" ”

Nanfudo sat down on the ground, and he replied with a little dejectedness: "In the beginning, there were several encirclements, but these cunning guys hid back underground, and the guards suffered heavy losses if they went a little deeper. Later, because of the huge profits, more and more people got involved. With so many interests involved, the lords no longer bother with the deals. ”

"Alright, Nanfudo, I know that your sister has been eaten by those mind snatchers. But don't show it when you go to Bone Harbor, or those octopus heads will eat you. The old man reminded loudly.

The dwarf tugged at a tug of his hair. "Don't worry, I'm not going to bring this emotion over. I also have a mother and two children to support at home, and this job is very important to me. After saying that, he sat in the corner and fiddled with what he held without saying a word.

The old man took a sip of the bottle and said to Henry, "I'm sorry that the guest made you see the joke, but a few years ago, when Nanfudo's sister was following him in the smuggling business, she was caught by the Mind Flayer who had just arrived on the surface. Without saying a word, they opened her skull with disgusting tentacles, and Nanfudo watched as his sister was sucked out of her brain. During that time, he was like crazy and wanted to seek revenge on the octopus heads, but I stopped him. You must know that the gap between us humans and them is too big, and we may be controlled and used as slaves before we can rush to the front. ”

Henry nodded solemnly. "You're right, the Mind Flayer's psychic abilities are very powerful. They are capable of using "psychic blasts", an eerie energy that can make most creatures stunned in place. ”

The old man smiled helplessly. "Not many of the people who eat our business will get a good death, either they will be eaten and killed by their peers, or they will die at the hands of monsters and robbers on the road. I'm so grateful to the God of Thieves that I've been alive until now, and it may not be long before I report to the Kingdom of God in Meske. Okay, let's not talk about that, let's take the guests to upload it. Remember to keep yourself in check, I don't want to take care of your mom and kids. ”

The midget stood up and patted her buttocks. "Don't worry, old fellow, I haven't lived enough. Alright, guests, come with me now, Skull Harbor is a long way off. With that, he walked out of the house with Henry and his party.

Along the dirty alleys, the group soon came to the sea. The gnome pointed to a small wooden boat on the beach. "We'll do this and we'll try to be as quiet as we can for a while. You must know that these smugglers are not very good-tempered, and if they accidentally provoke these people, they will turn into robbers at any time. ”

The orc warrior smiled and touched his weapon. "I don't have a good temper, and I don't mind if they turn into robbers."

Nanfudo glanced at the strong Vaughan. "Well, say in advance that if something happens, I'll definitely run away."

Henry smiled and shook his head. "I don't expect you to fight, rest assured that these ordinary smugglers are no match for us at all. It only took me a few minutes to clean them up with magic. Okay, now let's start rowing the handlebars. With that, he began to take the lead in pushing the boat into the sea. Once everyone was on board, the gnomes and Vaughn began to paddle hard, and the boat made a mark in the sea and headed for the harbor not far away.

On the boat, Henry said to the others, "Remember, if you see the Mind Flayer far away from them, these fellows can always spy on your mind with the power of their minds. If something happens, don't speak, I'll be responsible for negotiating with them. With that, he touched his psychic barrier amulet, which was immune to most attacks from these octopus heads.

"No problem, I also think those octopus heads look disgusting, and it's best not to deal with them." Dai Lina hid her whole body in her cloak and whispered. Henry smiled and patted her on the shoulder, comforting the young Tieflin who had just arrived on the surface and was a little uneasy.

The boat had been on the surface for half an hour, and the gnome stood up and pointed to a small lighthouse in the distance. "We're almost at Skull Harbor, and now everyone has to get their spirits up. This is the land of lawlessness, and anything can happen. ”

Under the cover of night, the group quietly sailed past several smuggling boats and boarded the dock. As soon as their feet landed on the ground, they were surrounded by a crowd of people, and the leader asked, "Who are you?" What is the purpose of coming here! ”

The gnome hurried over from behind. "Hey! Don't get me wrong, they're all passengers on a boat. Please don't scare our guests, know that they are paying a lot of money. ”

"Damn! I thought another fat sheep had arrived, but it was a disappointment. Okay, you can go, remember to ask One-Eye to pay this month's management fee quickly. With that, a large group of people walked away.

The orc warrior let go of the hand holding the weapon and asked, "Who are they?" Sounds like you're running this dock. ”

Nanfudo glanced at Vaughn. "It's best not to know too much, it's not good for you. These guys are some goddamn vampires, and we're going to give them half of our profits every month. I'm going to take you on board now, I'm going to be sick for a minute longer. With that, he took the lead along the path and walked towards the ships docked at the berths in the distance.

Just as he was about to walk to the boat, Dai Lina suddenly grabbed the dwarf in front of him, and Nanfudo broke free of the hand that was pulling his clothes and asked angrily: "Why are you dragging me, the one in front is the Gray Parrot." ”

"Shut up! If you make another sound, I'll cut your throat. The Tiefling girl took off her hood and threatened viciously. The dwarf was startled when he saw her clearly, and he covered his mouth with his hand, lest he make a little noise to anger the half-devil.

"We're annoyed, the three Mind Flayers on the ship in front of us are confronting the crew." Dai Lina said to everyone.

Henry glanced at the dark ship ahead. "Thanks to your dim vision this time, everyone is now ready to fight. Once there is a conflict, don't be soft, and try to target their heads as much as possible. With that, he and Debra began to bless themselves with a few protective spells, and then the group walked towards the Grey Parrot.

As soon as Henry stepped onto the deck, a voice sounded in his brain: "Stranger, don't meddle. Get out of the way or eat your brain. ”

"Nanfudo, you've come just in time, these Mind Flayers want to requisition this ship. I've explained to them that it's not working, so you should go and inform the dock managers. The captain shouted loudly at this side.

Henry glanced at the two reddened gnomes, and he quietly made an attacking gesture to the other three behind him. Immediately after that, he began to chant a spell on the three octopus heads, and the spell casting action immediately caused a chain reaction. The Mind Flayer used a Mind Shock at this side, and the Mind Barrier Talisman quickly formed a force field to cancel it out. The half-orc warrior casually took out his throwing axe and threw it at one of them, and the Mind Flayer was caught off guard and his head was directly split in half, and the white brain flowed to the ground.

When the other two saw this, they quickly controlled several sailors to rush over, and Vaughn easily knocked them all out with his fists. Dalina approached her target with a strange step, and by the time the Mind Flayer spotted her, Tieflin had already pulled out her jetty made of adamantite and stabbed it hard. The two well-developed tentacles on the octopus's head quickly wrapped around Dai Lina's wrists, and the other two began to invade her ears in an attempt to drain the attacker's brains.

Just as the Mind Flayer thought she would be able to get rid of the half-devil in no time, the Tieflin girl had an eerie smile on her face, and her tail flicked violently and stabbed at the back of the Mind Flayer's head. The metal blade equipped on the tail easily passed through the soft head tissue, and the octopus head immediately fell weakly on the deck.

The last Mind Flayer found himself in a bad situation, and he unleashed two psychic blasts in quick succession in an attempt to escape the ship. Debra had a lightning bolt that passed through its body, and the strong electricity interfered with the brain's control of the body, and Henry then added a fifth-level spell, "Ice Pick".

With the death of the last Mind Flayer, the ship's sailors let out a cheer. It took a while for Nanfudo to wake up from the mental explosion, and he took out his dagger and rushed to the corpse of the Mind Flayer with a stab. The frenzied look made the others frown, and it wasn't until the corpse turned to minced flesh that the gnome gasped for breath.

The captain walked over to him and handed over a towel. "Wipe it, today is the revenge of your sister. Don't think about it anymore, or you won't live long here. After saying that, he walked over and saluted Henry and the others. You must be the passengers on this voyage, welcome to the Grey Parrot. I'm Captain Carron, and I really thank you for your help, otherwise the whole ship would have been forcibly taken over by them. After saying that, he paid special attention to the Tiflin girl who was wiping her tail.

Henry smiled when he saw his eyes. "Don't worry Captain, I promise that Dai Lina won't take the initiative to cause any trouble. You'd better keep the sailors' ** under control, though, or you'll likely cause her to fight back in self-defense. ”

The captain smiled wryly. "Rest assured, I'll warn them. And the sailors have just seen your battles, and they will not provoke someone as strong as you. The burly orc warrior alone would have scared them away. ”
