After two days of sailors' life, Henry and his party of five ships finally arrived at Luskan, the city of a thousand sails, and two days made him suffer enough. Every day, he used his flying skills to help the sailors pull the sails from ship to ship, hang the side sails at anchor, change the direction of the wind on the mast, and so on. Now that it was finally over, he stood on the ship and watched the fleet slowly sail towards the harbor. Captain Hawke is already a veritable admiral. He already owned five large ships, but unfortunately he only had twenty-one sailors including his boss. He said to Henry, who was standing at the bow, "We need a large number of sailors, otherwise it would be a big question whether we could get the ship back." ”

Henry smiled bitterly and said, "I completely agree with this, I'll give you some gold coins to recruit some sailors later." But beware of powerful spies and pirate spies. Hawk smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I've been going back and forth between Waterdeep and Luskan and Baldur's Gate for many years, and there are special channels here to hire some clean sailors. By the way, you don't mind half-orcs and barbarians, right? Henry took out a purse, about fifteen hundred gold coins, and handed it to the captain, saying, "As long as I am disciplined and hygienic, I have no racial prejudices, even the Dark Elves, the Eye Demons, and the Mind Flayer." When Hawke heard this, he laughed and said, "My boss, I don't have the ability to get these monsters. After speaking, the two of them silently stared at the approaching city.

There are more than fifteen thousand houses in the city of Luskan, and the city has built strong fortifications along the harbor and looks magnificent. The walls surround the Landing Ridge, and there are specially designed watchtowers with countless soldiers walking around them. After a while, the port sent a small boat to pick it up, and the port officials smiled when they learned that the group had come to buy slaves. After paying berthing fees for five vessels, all ships docked. Due to the relatively small number of people on board, Captain Hawke ordered all sailors not to leave the ship, as the Sword also contained a large amount of spices, silks, and a small amount of drugs seized from the pirate ship, as well as a thousand standard steel weapons and armor.

After disembarking from the ship, Hawke said to Henry, "My dear boss, I will now go to the Tavern of the Short Sword to hire some reliable sailors, and by the way, to make some contacts to sell the drugs, spices, and silk on board. Are you sure that weapons and armor are to be left behind? Henry looked at his surroundings and said, "Yes, we will soon have a large number of slaves to manage. These weapons and armor are just enough to arm a good guard. The captain lit his pipe and said, "Well, go to the city first, turn into the night, and bend your short sword to find me." Beware of thieves, ** and beggars here, outsiders are not welcome in the city. With that, he walked towards the path called Half Moon Street.

After handing over all five ships to the boatswain and telling him not to let anyone aboard, Henry led Amy into the chaotic city. The streets of Luskan are lined with two or three floors of buildings that are closely connected, and most people live in a crowded area. There were countless sentry posts and watchtowers on the rooftops, and all kinds of dangerous and curious eyes shot at the two of them from these dark holes. Henry smiled and took Amy's hand as he walked down the street, and he saw quite a few strange faces along the way. For example, the minotaur with a large axe, the Northland barbarians with huge weapons, and a few half-orcs with green skin. "It's a messy city!" He said to the girl next to him with emotion.

Suddenly, a figure bumped past Amy and quickly tried to burrow into the alley, Henry laughed and then sent a frozen ray to the thief to the ground. After walking over, he picked up the little guy who was less than a meter, and he took a closer look and saw that it was a halfling. After grabbing Amy's stolen dimensional bag and throwing it to the girl, she said, "Be wary in this city, there may be more thieves here than the merchants of Baldur's Gate. Amy bowed her head with some shame and said thank you. After educating his servant, he turned to look at the halfling and said, "Okay, little thief, since you have been caught, introduce yourself." Otherwise, you should know what the consequences of provoking a mage will be. The halfling began to tremble when he heard this, he knew all too well the consequences of angering a mage. Ruling the city is the Arcane Brotherhood, a well-known mage organization, who has seen angry Brotherhood members blow up a thief guild with fireballs. The halfling cautiously said, "I'm sorry, respected Mr. Mage. My name is Jimmy, and I'm a thief under the command of Lord Ballam. Please don't kill me. ”

Henry touched his chin and said, "I won't kill you, but you'll have to contact Balaam for me." Let's just say that there is a big customer who wants to meet him, and the specific business will be discussed after the meeting. When Jimmy heard that the mage in front of him was not going to kill him, his body immediately stopped shaking, and he straightened his hair and said, "Dear Mr. Mage, I will bring your words." But what the Grand Commander does with it is not something that I, a petty thief, can handle. Henry nodded and said, "You just need to bring my words, you don't need to be responsible for the rest." If there's any news, feel free to come to me at the Short Sword Inn. With that, he put the halfling on the ground. The little man, who was less than a meter, bowed deeply to the two of them and turned and ran away.

Seeing the halfling running fast, Henry smiled and said to Amy, "See, this is the strength of the spellcaster." You don't even need to use too many spells, sometimes you just need to show your identity and use some wits to solve most problems. The girl lowered her head and pondered for a while and said, "I understand the master, and in the future I will look at the problem from the perspective of a warlock." He took Amy to see the towers belonging to the Arcane Brotherhood from afar, then to the Dominion Quarter, and finally to see the three bridges across the sea. Soon in the evening, the two returned to the docks. Walk into Half Moon Street, the backyard street of the docks, where homeless people and villains gather, and everyone stares at Henry and Amy with bad intentions. Henry gently raised his right index finger and said to the girl next to him, "Close your eyes." With that, a flash spell was activated, and a large number of ill-intentioned people around them screamed and began to curse loudly and quickly fled the place. Almost all people know that spellcasters are not easy to mess with, regardless of whether they use magic or spells.

"We're here." Henry pointed to a small inn opposite, and a group of people at the door saw that it was the mage who had just blinded them, and quickly dispersed into the darkness, revealing a shabby sign that read the Curved Short Sword. The corners of Amy's mouth turned up slightly after seeing the vagabond staring at her just now, and now the girl finally understood that she was already a powerful warlock. The first thing you see when you enter the inn is a woman with heavy makeup and too much perfume, trying to find every man who can pay for gold. A large number of sailors drank ale, cider, or expensive spirits, and then began to move their hands and feet with a woman in their arms. The various erotic images make Amy unbearable.

Henry quickly found Captain Hawke in a quiet corner, who was talking to someone. He took the girl by the waist and took her in his arms so that he could avoid all kinds of hands and feet that reached out to take advantage, and when he squeezed through the crowd, he let go of his hand. He cried out to the table, "My dear captain, can't you find a better hotel?" The environment here is just terrible. Hawke saw that he was talking to someone and said a little wait, then stood up and said to Henry, "Welcome, my boss, you must know that there are no sailors with clean backgrounds in other places. And my previous shipping channels only show up here. Let me introduce you to each other. With that, he pulled Henry to the table. Then he said to the fat middle-aged man sitting in the chair, "Bruce, this is my new boss, Mr. Henry." He was not only a wealthy lord, but also a powerful mage. The boss is Bruce, my former inbound and outbound channels. ”

The fat man stood up and handed over a hand and said, "Hello respected Mr. Mage, I heard that you have a large quantity of spices, silk and a small amount of drugs that you want to sell?" Henry shook his fat palm and said, "I came here just to buy some slaves, and you know that my territory is in need of a healthy labor force right now. But on the way here, a group of pirates tried to ransack my merchant ships, and I taught them a lesson, and I guess most of them have now gone into the belly of sharks. These things are all booty from pirates, and I guess it won't cause you any trouble, right? Bruce sat back in his chair and shook his hand vigorously and said, "No, of course not." This is Luscan! It never cares if you rob it or some other way to get it. How many do you have? Then Captain Hawke took over the conversation and said, "Bruce, my dear friend, we have about two hundred tons of spices, three thousand five hundred horses of silk, and about five tons of drugs. Now you have a bid. ”

Bruce lowered his head and began to calculate, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "I will pay 100,000 gold coins for spices, 40,000 for silk, and 80,000 for drugs." But I can't pay so much cash at once, and I need to pay for some other goods. Henry turned his head to look at his captain, and Hawke nodded slightly. Well, I agree with the price. But I only need healthy slaves for the goods to be settled. Henry said. Bruce smiled and said, "My dear friend, this is Luskan!" There will never be a shortage of slaves, but we need to talk about the price first. According to the market price, 80 gold coins for men between the ages of 16 and 35, 50 gold coins for women between the ages of 16 and 30, 35 gold coins for the elderly and 30 for children under the age of 16. I don't know if you're satisfied with this price. Henry nodded and said, "I'm basically satisfied with this price, so let's start inspecting each other's goods tomorrow." Bruce said happily, "It's a pleasure to talk to you about business, so we'll see you tomorrow." With that, he turned around and left the inn with the guard.
