Jasila frowned at this explanation, but it seemed to make sense given Henry's previous adventures. After all, he has a good reputation, and the people in the territory are living quite well. And the people who are in contact with are all famous big names like Erastro, Kelburn, and Lyra.

"Don't worry, we've been good friends for a long time. And it was Glian who introduced us to each other. Seeing that Henry was suspected, Apodale hurriedly stood up to defend him.

Hearing that it was Glian who introduced it, Jasila was a little relieved. "I'm sorry, but you should know that these are extraordinary times. We have to be careful, otherwise we could die at any time. ”

Henry smiled and nodded. "There is nothing wrong with your caution. If I were you, I might be more careful, after all, the enemy Apodell will face is very powerful. As far as I know, including the Iron Mine Crisis and the banditry rampant are all planned by one person behind the scenes, and his purpose is supposed to drag the entire Baldur's Gate and Amm into the flames of war. ”

"This man ...... Who exactly? He...... Why did he do this? Khalid stammered.

Henry shook his head, he didn't want to tell everyone the mystery so early. At present, these people have not won the support of the upper nobles, and if they rashly open their hole cards, they will not be Shalovek's opponents. "I don't know exactly who it is, but I'm sure it has something to do with the Iron Throne."

"The Iron Throne? Aren't they a chamber of commerce organization? Why do you want to do such a thing? Jasila frowned and began to think, and after a while she spoke to the others, "Let's settle the iron ore and bandit problems first, and then investigate this organization properly after entering Baldur's Gate." ”

"It would be better to rest here for one night. After all, we were all a little tired after several days of driving. Henry gestured to Ammon, who had already begun to yawn.

Jasila smiled at the sight of two listless young men. "I couldn't agree more. Now this chaotic situation. It's not a good idea to camp in the wilderness. ”

The five of them came to the bar and opened the room with the dwarf boss, and then they all went to the second floor. Here they meet a female dwarf priest named Ang Shea, who says that she has been robbed by an ogre with a belt fetish. If someone can snatch the puncture guard belt back, then they can get a sum of money and a new book.

Hearing that there was a reward, Ammon immediately untied his belt and returned it to the priest, who claimed to be a writer. Not only did she receive the gratitude of the dwarves, but she also received ninety-five gold coins and a book, The History of Testel.

"Look! We completed our first adventure commission. "As she spoke, the girl handed the money to Apodel." This is a gold coin, and as a tour leader, you must keep it safe. Otherwise, we'll all go hungry and sleep on the streets. ”

Apodell smiled and stuffed the gold coins into the purse around his waist. "Looks like I can finally buy a new two-handed sword, but I hate using sticks."

Henry looked at the two people arguing with a smile on his face, he had just been prompted to complete the task and gain eight hundred experience points. It seems that I was right, and a lot of experience points really have to be obtained in the plot. After a while, some of the sleepy people said goodnight to each other, and then went back to their rooms to rest, and there was still a long way to go tomorrow.

During the night, Apodell slept soundly, unaware of the blood-colored mist that was churning around his body. This is the divinity transforming his body, and the more people he kills, the deeper this transformation will be. The strange phenomenon continued until the first rays of sunlight appeared in the morning, and then slowly disappeared.

Henry slept enough for eight hours. I got up early to chat with Lao Banteli. They talked to each other about the interesting things that had happened in the past few years, and from time to time they let out a big laugh. Wait until it's dark. The other four people walked down the stairs one after the other. After a brief breakfast, the group left the hotel. As he passed by the market, Apodell bought a new two-handed sword.

"Hey, man. I received a commission on the third floor of the hotel this morning. A poor dwarf old lady wants us to help her kill the giant spider in the house. When the time comes, you can get a large commission for just a pair of boots, a bottle of wine, and a part of the spider carcass. Apodell's eyebrows fluttered as he talked about the morning's experience.

"Giant spiders? You'd advise you to be careful, these monsters aren't easy to deal with. With a small bite, deadly toxins can enter the body through the bloodstream and kill a sturdy human within minutes. Seeing that he was a little carried away, Jasila quickly poured a basin of cold water.

"Don't worry, I'll keep two more notes on "slowing down poison" and "neutralizing toxins". With that, Henry patted Apodell on the shoulder. When he went downstairs this morning, he met a nobleman in gold pants, and it took two fine gems to exchange Henry for this more important item.

"Ha Luha, I know that you have to say that." A smug smile appeared on Apodell's face, and he pulled out a few green potions from his belt bag and shook them. "This is the antidote potion that the old man gave me, and there are six bottles that are enough for us."

Jasila took a bottle and opened the stopper and sniffed it. "What an antidote! These potions are not cheap, and it seems that you have met an old woman with a good heart. ”

Apodell gave everyone a bottle to spare. The group walked south along the coastal promenade until about three o'clock in the afternoon, when they saw the stone monument engraved "To the south to Belgoust". Henry knew very well that the town was not far away. I don't know what this former hometown has become after so many years.

"Something is wrong! There's a smell of blood here! Jasila sniffed and reminded everyone loudly.

Without saying a word, Henry cast a detection spell, and soon a red light flashed through the distant woods. "The accident is over there, everyone be careful, maybe it has something to do with the recent rampant bandits." As he spoke, he blessed himself with a protective spell and walked towards that side with his staff.

When they came to the place of the accident, everyone was stunned. There were corpses all over the place, and it looked like the entire caravan had been killed. Khalid looked at the body carefully. Judging by the wounds, the men did not fight too fiercely, and it was clear that they all died in a surprise attack.

"All the goods are gone, and it looks like the people have been robbed. The robbers' methods were so vicious that they didn't leave a single living mouth at all. Jasila made a judgment after inspecting the van.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Ammon felt the contents of his stomach start to gush up. A minute later, she was lying under a big tree and vomiting desperately, even throwing up green bile. Apodell sighed and handed the girl his hydration bag. "Rinse your mouth, it will make you feel better."

Aemond cleaned the smell from his mouth with water, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Suddenly, a small figure in the woods sprang out and ran in the direction of Belgost. The girl grabbed the little guy by the collar with a quick hand.

"Let go of me! Otherwise, I'll let Mom take you away with your skin!" A little boy who looked to be less than ten years old screamed as he struggled.

Seeing that it was a human child, Apodell let go of his hand gripping the hilt of his sword. "Take it easy, little friend, we don't want to hurt you."

It's a pity that the kid in front of him doesn't appreciate it at all. He kicked everyone hard and then sneered and said, "Yes! The same was said by the bandits last time, and then they attacked a caravan that had just left. Swindler! All liars! ”

"Tell me what those robbers look like? How many of them are there? Jasila crouched down and asked in a kind tone. The child stared at her viciously and said nothing, as if he was not going to say another word.

Henry sighed, these people obviously had little experience with children. He held out a hand and performed a magic trick. Soon a small fire dragon flew around in the palm of its hand, and it kept doing all kinds of difficult movements, and not only the child, but even Ammon's eyes were attracted.

After performing for a while, Henry suddenly clenched his hands into fists. He smiled and said to the child, "Can you tell me what you saw now?" Don't be afraid, we're not bad people. ”

The child struggled with a bitter face for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and nodded. "Alright! Mom said that a mage who can perform tricks on children is not a bad person. Among the robbers were humans, goblins, and orcs, and they often laid ambushes at the gates of the town, and they killed the old man's caravan in Breel. ”

"The race of this bandit team is really mixed enough, there must be some conspiracy in this." After saying that, Jasila frowned and began to meditate.

Henry rubbed the child's head and said to her, "Don't think so much, the most important thing now is to send this child back to Belgost." His family must be in a hurry, and the mayor must be informed of the attack on the caravan. ”

"I didn't ...... That's right! Wait until we are done investigating the iron ore crisis, and then ...... Let's deal with these robbers. It took him a long time to finish the sentence.

In order to prevent the outbreak of the epidemic, the corpses were simply burned. Fifty minutes later, the group was back on the road. As it approached evening, they finally arrived in this bustling town. Ammon's eyes lit up, and Apodell followed closely behind her. This is not for fear of any danger, but to prevent the girl's restless and skillful hands from reaching into other people's money bags.

After a short discussion, everyone decided to split into two ways, Jasila and his wife were responsible for sending the children home to find out the news, and the three young men were responsible for informing the mayor of the town to stop by and take a stroll, and finally everyone had to meet up at the Red Roll Hotel before dark.
