For the next few days, Henry spent the rest of his time in the slums at the Bronze Crown Hotel, studying the magic of the Melson series in the book. It has to be said that the owner of this inn, Retinand, is quite skillful, although not very legal. In addition to providing ordinary lodging and liquor services to his guests, he also runs underground courtyards and dueling shows.

Henry had been there a few times to watch it, and although the slaves' martial arts were not flattering, at least the scene looked bloody and violent. In order to pursue excitement, many aristocratic men and women secretly came here to watch the duel performance in disguise. It can be said that the business of this hotel is so good that it is almost full 24 hours a day.

On several occasions he had tried to kill Retinand and take possession of the Bronze Crown Inn, but the thought that the bartender Panard was a member of the Harpists discouraged him. This matter still has to wait for Aberdell and Jasila to deal with it, otherwise it will be very troublesome if they accidentally get targeted by the Harpist Alliance.

Time passed by day by day, and a month later the new inn was finally built. As the only stone building in the city gate area, it is very eye-catching. Buying these expensive stones, Henry spent a lot of gold coins. In order to make the new hotel more durable, he even secretly cast a few mud into stones at the interface, completely linking the stones together.

Looking at the five-story white building, the foreman Steko let out a sigh of emotion. "This is probably the most beautiful house I've ever built in my life. Your rooftop garden restaurant is so beautiful and chic that I think the city's aristocrats and merchants will rush here for their banquets. ”

"Of course. I thought about it when I first designed it. It is to be operated as a high-end banquet venue. After all, the city gate area is next to a river that leads to the sea. It's not just a beautiful place. And there aren't too many low shacks and beggars either. Henry smiled and said what he was going to do. Originally, he just wanted to kill the lich and leave, but then he thought about it and decided that it would be nice to have a safe base in Askatra.

Dressed in a new dark blue ladylike dress, Gervera followed closely behind with a pen and paper in her hand. After more than half a month of study, she has been promoted to the manager of this hotel. Although it is still a little immature, it is better to be serious and responsible. After all, Henry had no one at hand at hand, so he had to let this enthusiastic and energetic girl take the lead.

"Boss, if you want to open as much as you want. We need to hire at least six cooks, fifteen waitresses and waiters, two experienced bartenders, and five to ten handymen. But fortunately, many people are unemployed at home these days, and it is not too difficult to recruit people. "The girl is serious about the results of the calculations. It can be seen that she cherishes this hard-won job very much.

Henry waved his hand and stopped Gauvera's tirade. He just wanted a safe base, and he didn't intend to take care of the business and management of these things. "You can just look at these things, and how many gold coins you need directly report a specific number. I don't have much time and energy to devote here, maybe I'll go on a long trip after a while. ”

The girl was slightly stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that her boss was still a mage. She bowed and said, "Understood." Rest assured, I will do my best to run this hostel. Also, give it a loud name. ”

"Hmm...... It's called the Garden Hotel. Henry glanced at the blooming flowers around him and casually came up with a name. Then he pulled out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Govilla. "These are a thousand gold coins. I think it should be enough as start-up capital. In the future, I will make my own decisions about business matters, and don't bother me if there is no major matter. ”

Go back to the room you have prepared for yourself. Henry first enjoyed Shantil's warm service, then lay on the bed and stroked her smooth skin, and began to think about what else he could do before the plot. First of all, the cemetery must not be visited, Bardy is actively cultivating vampire descendants there, and if she goes, she will definitely be attacked. If it is caused in advance Joan. Erenikas's attention, that would be too much to lose.

As for a series of missions such as the Dimensional Sphere, the Skinning Case of the Bridge Going, and the Uma Hills Incident, it may be because the time has not yet come to take place. There are only three things that can be done now, one of which is to take out the red dragon Faircragg in the Wind Spear Hill, and the other is to kill the mercenary team in the guard mansion in the temple area. The last one is to go to the bridge to find the hidden talisman, kill all the undead inside, and get the coveted Archmage's Staff by the way.

The first two are obviously a little more maneuverable. With the current strength of him and the sorceress, as long as they are careful, there shouldn't be much of a problem. The last one will be very rewarding, but the combination of Lich + Vampire + Eye Demon + Assassin is too difficult to deal with. Until you are absolutely sure, forget it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Henry finally decided to go to the Wind Spear Hill first to kill the red dragon Faircrag. After all, this quest has the most experience points and rewards, and there are many benefits to slaying dragons. For Shantil in particular, fresh dragon blood helps to unleash the potential in her bloodline, and it would be great if she could train her to become a legendary warlock.

"Master, what are you thinking?" Shantil whispered as she lay into Henry's arms. During this time, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up. She has now developed a dependency, and she has to ask her master's permission for everything.

Henry was very pleased with the change. He clearly knew that this was a very serious mental illness, and that as time went on, dependence would gradually turn into spiritual belief. At that time, even if the sorceress obtains the divine nature and the treaty signed by the divinity is null and void, she will continue to serve herself.

Thinking of this, he gently kissed Shantil's forehead and replied with a smile: "Hehe, I'm wondering if I should go to trouble an old red dragon." ”

"An old red dragon? There can't be too powerful creatures around the city, otherwise the Masked Mage's Guild would have been expelled a long time ago. Shantil sat up curiously. I saw the quilt slip down, and the perfect body curve was exposed.

Henry raised his arm and pointed out the window. "Ascatra is not a city in the ordinary sense of the word. In the hidden corners of this place, countless secrets are hidden. I can tell you unequivocally that there are not only powerful, dangerous creatures, but also quite a wide variety of creatures. ”

If you think back to the scenes in the game, you can see that the city is anything but ordinary. Not only are there a huge number of Mind Flayers, Eye Demons, Lichs, Necrocytes, and finally even a half-Lich. Thankfully, there was a masked mage on his head, otherwise these monsters could have destroyed most of the city with just one kind of escape.

It has to be said that the Council of Six, which rules Am, is quite far-sighted. They leave all magical matters to the Masked Mage Guild, while the gang management is left to the Shadow Thieves, leaving it to the administrative and diplomatic matters themselves. This not only greatly reduced the number of officials, but also handed over two major troubles to the most professional people.

You must know that whether it is a powerful spellcaster or a headache for the thieves' union, it is a problem that plagues all city managers. The former is incredibly destructive, while the latter is hidden in every corner and is simply impossible to eradicate. But Amm handled both of these problems very well, and over the years it was rare to hear of people casting spells or engaging in large-scale gangster fights.

But this qiē is coming to an end. The vampires will begin to compete with the Shadow Thieves for dominance of the Dark World, and Joan. Irenikas will wreak havoc on the Masked Mage's Guild. This may be an opportunity, and Henry is considering whether to trick Apodell into joining Bardi's side and uprooting the Shadow Thieves' Guild in the city. Although there is a certain amount of risk involved, it is nothing compared to the benefits that can be obtained.

After all, Amm is no better than Baldur's Gate, and its unique location has created an extremely developed business environment. According to Robert's estimates, the Thieves' Guild receives more than 600,000 gold coins every year from smuggling, theft, gangsters, and so on. Of course, most of this money was spent on training his men, buying weapons and equipment, magic potions, making tools for thieves, etc., and there was not much left.

"Oh my God! If these are true, then Ascatra is simply a city built on a volcano. Shantil's exclamation pulled Henry back from his thoughts.

Hearing this description, he smiled and nodded. "Very graphic metaphor. Think of the lich we got rid of, there are a few undead like it in the city. Just kill them all, and I'll be able to assemble a squad of Crate Golems. ”

"By the way, didn't you just say that you were going to trouble an old dragon? Where the hell is this guy hiding? Shantil asked energetically. Apparently her evil nature has flare up again, and she can't wait to kill the dragon and take the treasure.

Looking at the greedy eyes of the sorceress, Henry took out a map directly from the dimensional pouch and pointed to the northernmost point of the Snowflake Mountains in the east of Am. "Right here. The old dragon is trying to snatch the rightful ownership of the land from the lords of the "Wind Spear Hill". ”

Shantil glanced at the map and frowned. "This place is also too remote, I'm afraid it will take at least two weeks to get there from here. Are you sure the truth is accurate? If we didn't, we'd have to run for nothing. ”

"Don't worry, when did my intelligence go wrong. Now hurry up and rest for the night, and set off early tomorrow morning. Also, don't forget to take Spellcaster II with you when you leave. With that, Henry tossed the map aside and slipped into the bed with the sleek sorceress. As their skins rubbed against each other, the passion of the two was rekindled. They tossed and turned for more than forty minutes before they finally fell asleep exhausted. (To be continued......)
