The two pieces of magical equipment that Shantil had obtained weren't very good, but they were obviously quite useful to her. In particular, sensing the amulet, whether it is a permanent protection against evil, or an attribute that increases charm, is the most suitable for warlocks. You must know that the warlock profession is essentially the excavation of the potential of the bloodline, and the higher the charm, the stronger the perception of one's own strength.

After taking advantage of the four selection opportunities, Heng did not rush to leave. He first bought a scroll box in the deepest part of the adventurer's market, and then took out some of the scrolls he usually saved and put them in. In the end, he was given to Shantil along with a scroll box, a serpent cane, and an ogre gauntlet.

According to the plan, Henry had to arm the sorceress as much as he could. After all, several of the targets he is eyeing are very difficult, and he can't do it without a strong helper. After all, Amm can't run around with the Terminator and the Roll Golem, as the Masked Mage's Guild prohibits such an order to use magic and its affiliated alchemical creatures in public.

Shantil can be said to be the second most powerful spellcaster under Henry after Borken, and as long as she doesn't get divinity, she never has to worry about betrayal. After careful consideration, he finally decided to make the sorceress his adventurous assistant in the Ammu region. While Borken is more capable and knowledgeable in spellcasting, he only signs a service agreement. Once your life is in danger, you can turn around and run away at any time.

At once, she got several magic items and a large number of scrolls, and Shantil was overjoyed. In her opinion, it was a symbol of heightened status. After so long of hard work, I finally gained the trust of my master. And Joan. Irenikas is also hiding somewhere in the city, and it would be wonderful to see this guy's tragic death with their own eyes again.

After leaving the Adventurer's Bazaar. Two men walked along the street through the ghetto. Came near the entrance to the city. Henry's first goal. It's the lich hidden in the hotel in the city gate district. As the saying goes, persimmons pick up soft pinching first. As far as he can remember, this lich is probably the easiest of Askatra's many powerful spellcasters. What's more, in his hand is a long sword that specializes in dealing with the undead. When used correctly, most undead are not to be feared.

The city gate area is not large, and it can even be said that it is the smallest of the eight districts in the city. After walking a few steps, they came across a wooden signboard. The hotel says "Curved-necked Crane" in lingua franca. Maybe it's to be funny, maybe it's to better attract business, but in short, there is a rather strange bird drawn under the sign.

"Let's go inside, we'll spend the night here today." Henry pointed to the "Crooked Crane" inn and said.

Shantil looked at the dilapidated inn and asked, "Wouldn't you?" Could it be that a powerful mage transformed into a lich could hide in such a rotten place? It's just unbelievable. ”

Henry smiled and touched the newly grown stubble on his chin and replied, "Maybe that's what he's most clever about." Mages are creatures that cannot be inferred by common sense, especially those lichs that have been corrupted by negative energy for a long time. Okay, let's go in and talk to the owner and see if we can buy the inn. I don't want to fight the Lich and have to worry about these ordinary people. ”

"Hahahaha! If I were the owner of this inn, I wouldn't be eager to do it. If you look at the rotting planks and the dilapidated roof, I'm afraid it won't be a few years before it will fall out on its own. Shantil was unsparing in pointing out the biggest shortcomings of the Crooked Crane.

Pushing open a dilapidated door, Henry immediately smelled a mixture of cigarettes, alcohol, and the filth that the drunks vomited. Without saying a word, he blessed himself and Shantil with two air filtration magics. The hall on the first floor was full of people. Most of them are civilians struggling at the bottom of society, so they can only drink a glass of low-quality ale mixed with water in such a cheap place.

From the moment Shantil walked in. All the men who were still awake had their eyes on it. They were completely attracted by the bewitching and beautiful woman in front of them, and they didn't even notice that the wine glass was poured. Henry secretly cried out bitterly when he saw this situation, and after a while, someone would definitely come up and talk to him, and maybe there would be a big fight.

In fact, just as he expected, before the two of them reached the bar, they were stopped by a big man. This guy has scars all over his body and face, and it looks like he often participates in activities like fights. In the continent of Faerun, with the exception of a few extremely orderly cities, most bars and hotels will always have one or two such people. They never cost money to drink and eat, but if something goes wrong, they have to come forward to solve it.

The big man first looked at Shantil's figure with squints, and then said unscrupulously: "Hey! Beauty. Would you like to spend the night with the strong Byrne? I promise it will only take a few minutes to send you to the cloud. If you don't believe me, you can ask these customers around you, and they can all testify for me. ”

"Haha! Bourne, you pervert! ”

"If you're going to spend the night here, we'll need to test your skills for ourselves."

"That's it! You can't eat alone, you have to share it with us! ”

Byrne's words made the surrounding scene instantly chaotic. The men took advantage of the chaos to shout obscene words, and their eyes were even more fierce at Shantil, trying to pull her clothes off her body with their eyes. Henry sighed slightly when he saw this. He knew that these people were about to be out of luck. With the fiery temper of a sorceress, she has to shed a layer of skin even if she doesn't die.

Seeing Shantil's slightly reddened eyes, Henry whispered, "Be careful, try not to kill anyone." I don't want to have my spell permission revoked, it cost a lot of money. ”

"Don't worry, I'll give them a good taste of what life feels like is worse than death."

As soon as the sorceress's voice fell, a third-level magic "human immobilization" was released. These ordinary people had no ability to resist at all, and all of them were frozen in place at once, unable to move. The sorceress drew the dagger from her waist and came to Byrne. The big man's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, and he knew very well that he might have provoked some big person.

"Yo! Isn't this the strong Bourne? Now let me put it to the test if you're as good as you say you are. Shantil smiled charmingly, then swung her dagger and stabbed it into her lower body.

The pain was so sharp that Bourne kept rolling his eyes and his mouth wide open. Since the magical effects of the immobilization technique had not yet passed, he could not shout at all. Shantil sneered, turned the dagger in her hand, and cut something important directly. She pulled out her blood-stained dagger, rubbed it against the big man's face, and sneered, "Hey! Looks like you're bragging. It's not as strong as you might think, and it just breaks at the slightest touch. ”

The scene in front of them made the men who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity just now shiver. They didn't expect this woman to be so cruel at all, and they didn't hesitate to cut off Bourne's life. The unlucky guy had fainted from the pain, and his entire pants were stained red with blood. One by one, Shantil found all the people who had just spoken loudly, and then cut off their right ears as punishment.

Henn looked at Byrne with pity, who was still twitching on the ground. Although there are many high-level divine techniques that can achieve the regeneration of severed limbs, he will definitely not be able to afford them with his financial ability. In other words, if this guy doesn't commit suicide, he can only live as this kind of identity that is neither male nor female.

Shantil's movements were so fast that she cut off the right ears of half of the people in the hall in a minute. After the punishment was completed, she lifted the magical effect of the immobilization technique, and the guests ran away in an instant when they found that they had regained their mobility. Now in the entire hotel, except for the owner, only Byrne is lying unconscious on the ground, and even the waitress who works here is gone.

Henry walked unhurriedly towards the innkeeper. The latter was so frightened that he shouted: "Don't ...... Stay back. I didn't say anything just now, and I didn't look at anything. ”

"Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you about a business. The style of this hotel is very good, I don't know how much it costs to buy it? Henry asked, smiling.

As soon as the boss's eyes lit up when he heard the word business, he immediately got up from the ground and complained: "Ah! You don't say it sooner. Look, it scared me so much that I almost peed my pants. ”

"I'm sorry, but my female companion is a warlock. You should know that they usually have a hard time controlling their feelings. After saying that, Henry owed a little and apologized.

The innkeeper glanced at the blood and ears all over the floor, and sighed helplessly. He knew that the inn's business was over, and that no one would dare to have a drink for a long time. Although it is a bit reluctant to sell it directly, it can only be so for the sake of livelihood.

"What price are you going to offer? You know, this is the only hotel in the City Gate District, and there is no one else around to compete with me. "The owner began to count the advantages of the hotel in order to sell it at a good price.

Henry interrupted his tirade with a wave of his hand. "You don't need to say that, you just have to put a price on it. Remember, you only get one chance, and if it's too outrageous, forget it. ”

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and calculated the gains and losses. It was the first time he had seen someone talk about business like this, and he had no intention of haggling at all. After thinking about it for ten minutes, he raised his head and offered a price. "Five thousand gold coins! As long as 5,000 gold coins, the inn and the land under your feet will all belong to you. ”

"I have to say, you're quite a shrewd businessman. Although the price is a little high, it is still within my acceptable range. Now take the title deeds here, and as soon as we sign an agreement with each other, I will pay the full amount. After saying that, Henry took out two bags of gold coins from the dimensional bag and put them on the table.
