Chapter 183: Edwin's Necklace

Nasikai is located at the northernmost point of Amm, very close to the border with Baldur's Gate. It is a mining town, and more than half of the town's residents are miners. Henry rode his horse and drove for several days until he finally came to Nasikai. Along the way, he encountered a number of organized goblins and bandits, and it seemed that Shalovok had already begun his war plans.

Henry led his horse across a stone arch bridge, and had not gone far before he saw the Nasikai inn on the side of the road. He tied his horse to the door and went straight to the hall inside. Walking to the bar, he directly threw a few gold coins to the boss and asked, "I want to know Lu Dao, has there been a mage wearing a red robe passing by recently during this time?" ”

The boss wiped the gold coins with a smile on his face and put them in his pocket. "You're the right question, this is the only inn in the whole town, and no stranger can escape my eyes. Unfortunately, I haven't seen a mage in over a year. ”

"And have you ever seen a Rosiman witch and a warrior in a hamster?" Henry thought for a moment and then continued to ask. Because if he's not mistaken, Edwin came to this town after witches.

The boss thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm sure I've never seen it, and I will never forget this strange combination if it appears."

"Thank you, now please give me the best room. Hire a few more people to keep an eye on the entrances of the whole town, and if you report it immediately, I'll pay you a hundred gold coins. As he spoke, Henry pulled out a small bag of gold coins and placed it on the table.

"Ha Luha, that's a good business. Don't worry, I'll send a few guys to keep an eye on me during the day. Make sure that no one misses. As he spoke, the innkeeper took out a key from under the table. Please go inside. The one at the back of the room is your room. Feel free to ask if there is anything you need. ”

Henry nodded slightly. I grabbed the key and went back to my room to rest, but I hadn't slept well for the past few days in order to avoid missing time. For the next two months, he spent the day at the Hiccup Dragon Bar asking for news, and then returned to the Nasikai Hotel at night to rest. This lasted until the morning of April 12th. Problems have already begun to arise in the iron mines here, and there are plenty of rumors that Amm may go to war with Baldur's Gate.

On this day, Henry got up as usual, washed up, found a random table in the hall and began to eat breakfast. Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in. The man had a vicious face and a bald head. The woman has long black hair. Her high nose, cherry mouth and dark skin instantly make people feel an exotic atmosphere. Judging by the way he was dressed, it was clear that he was a mage.

The corners of Henry's mouth are slightly upturned, the bald man is supposed to be the ranger Minsk, and the woman is the witch Dinah Black whom he is responsible for protecting. Now that these two people have appeared, it shouldn't be long before Edwin, who is following them, arrives.

The two travelers from the Far East did not stay long, they stayed at the hotel for two days and then continued their journey westward. It won't be long before the two of them will be attacked by the gnolls, and Dainahi will be captured and Minsk will return to the town to find help.

On the third day after their departure, Edwin finally arrived. The red-robed mage with a gloomy face attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered. Henry lowered his head and ate slowly, the first time the guy entered Nasikai. I've gotten the news and I'm ready to go.

Edwin came to the bar and dropped a gold coin and asked the boss, "Have you seen a dark-skinned witch pass by these days?" ”

"Of course, there seems to be a shaved warrior with a shaved head with him. That guy looks fierce. They only stayed here for two days. The innkeeper said as he glanced at Henry, who was eating, and he already sensed that something was wrong.

"Damn little biaozi! It's really fast enough. The red-robed mage cursed in a low voice. Do you know where they are going? He continued.

The innkeeper shook his head. "I don't know, but when the two of them left, they took the west exit of the town."

"What a stupid monkey! It's useless! Edwin cursed again, then turned around and left the hotel.

Henry walked to the counter unhurriedly, settled all the money for this time, and then followed the red-robed mage from a distance. As soon as he went out, he blessed himself with the "stealth technique", planning to wait for it to get darker before starting. After all, this guy is likely to be teammates in the future, so it's best not to let him find out that he did it himself.

After a few hours of driving, it quickly darkened. Edwin lit a campfire with some wood, apparently intending to camp here. Henry carefully walked behind him, then slammed the staff in his hand on the back of his head. Hearing a muffled sound of "bang", the red-robed mage fell to the ground in response.

Henry, with excitement, took the necklace off Edwin's neck. He carefully examined the bruises of the red-robed mage, and after finding that there was nothing serious, he quickly left the scene of the crime. Arriving at a place where no one was around, he carefully examined the entire necklace and found that all the magic fluctuations came from this crystal clear gem.

Henry carefully pried it off, and then performed a "discernment". Soon specific information came to mind.

Quenching Orb:

This is a family heirloom that Edwin inherited at birth, and its origin is unknown. However, the powerful magical energy above can greatly benefit a mage or warlock.

Special Abilities:

Embedded in any item grants a special effect of spell slots plus two from level 1 to level 9.

Without any hesitation, Henry directly took out the Mithril ring that had been prepared for a long time and embedded the gem into it. In order to prevent Edwin from recognizing it later, he specially plated the surface of the gemstone with a thick layer of metal. Putting the deadly ugly ring on his hand, he immediately felt that all of his spell slots had increased by two.

The massive increase in spell slots made Henry happy for a while. Although he has a lot of magic items on him, it is the first time he has obtained such a powerful magic item. After calming down his excitement, he began to memorize the magic again and adjust his tactics accordingly. After a night's rest, I started to put it on my back, and I calculated the time, and the plot was about to start in less than two weeks.

Following the wilderness path, Henry walked unhurriedly in the direction of the Lion Avenue. He planned to wait there for a few days in the wild and deliver a steaming meal to the two rookies when they were most lonely. I'm sure they'll be glad to join us, and then they'll start their adventure together. By the time we arrived at the Lion Avenue, it was already the last day of April. He set up a tent beside the road and waited quietly for Aberdell and Ammon to appear.

At the same time, Apodell is in trouble at Candlekeep. His "adoptive father" has been very anxious lately, and he has been losing his temper more and more often. Many people now look at him in strange eyes, as if they had become monsters overnight.

The nervous Apodell lay on the bed and thought for a while, and then he snored, and it seemed that thinking about such things was not for him. Grion stood in front of the window and looked at his heartless adopted son and sighed, knowing that the prophecy of Arlando the Wise was about to be fulfilled. The throne of the God of Slaughter has been empty for too long, and the heirs of his former mortal realm are about to start a bloody battle, because the divinity is constantly calling them.

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Glian gave his adopted son more than a hundred gold coins. "Apodel, use the money to buy some weapons and equipment, and say goodbye to your friends by the way. I'm going to take you out of here today, and after you've finished your shopping, you'll meet at the gates of the castle. Remember! Don't drink, don't waste time! ”

"Oh! Oh my God, there's so much money. Apodell took the money bag and sighed. Rest assured, I'll be able to get the gear out of my way soon, and I'll be sure I won't drink and make a mistake. With that, he ran towards the Candlestick Inn.

Ge Li'an looked at the back of his adopted son and said to himself: "It's really a heavy fate, I hope my decision is not wrong." ”

As soon as Apodell, who had a "huge amount of money", entered the door of the hotel, he yelled at Winthrop, "Hey! Buddy! Bring me a beautiful piece of leather armor and a two-handed sword. I'm about to leave this place and go out on an adventure, and I'm sure it won't be long before the bards of Baldur's Gate will start singing stories of my adventures. ”

"Aha! No problem! I'm going to pick out a sturdy leather armor and a glittering sword for the great Apodel. "Saying that, the fat boss got into the warehouse in the back, and after a while he walked out with two things. Look at it, the double-layer leather armor of Shanghao is only seven gold coins, and the two-handed sword is also very strong and sharp, seventy-five gold coins. ”

Apodell clearly had little business talent. I didn't even cut the price and paid the full amount directly. With the help of his boss, he put the leather armor on his body, and then waved the two-handed sword in his hand. "It feels really good, I'm leaving now, and there are still a lot of people to say goodbye." As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the house.

Winthrop yelled at his back, "Have a nice trip!" Once you've become famous, don't forget to advertise the Candle Castle Inn, where you grew up. ”

Without looking back, Apodell waved his hand and walked along the path outside the castle in the direction of the stables. He planned to say goodbye to Zhuo Ping in the barn, after all, he relied on this guy to cover up when he and Aimon were naughty. Just as he was passing by a house, he suddenly heard a voice inside.

Curious, Apodell immediately broke in. As soon as he entered, a man with black hair came up to him and asked, "Oh, good boy! I'm the first to find you! Glian is your guardian, right? (To be continued......)
