Gailan's stronghold was not far away, and it took less than fifteen minutes to go. It is a somewhat old-looking stone building, and although the surface has been weathered, it still looks very strong. Such a house is definitely a luxury in the slums, after all, it is surrounded by low-slung wooden buildings and shacks.

Standing in front of the gate, Gailan bowed slightly to the one behind him. "Please wait, I need to get in touch with the partner inside the door. You must know that the security in this area has not been very good, and even the guards rarely patrol the vicinity. ”

I saw him knock on the door very rhythmically, and a voice came from inside a few seconds later: "Old rule, say the code, or a crossbow arrow will shoot through your heart soon." ”

"Cool! Your answer is as fierce as ever. Today's code is a silver flame. Seriously, Alidian, what a graceful elf, even the code is so poetic. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an emaciated elf opened the door. He glanced at Henry and the others vigilantly, and then turned around and ran up to the second floor without saying a word. Gailan smiled at the crowd and explained, "Don't worry, Alidian is like this. He is usually responsible for the delivery and turnover of some special goods, so it is inevitable that he will develop some bad habits. ”

"I'm not interested in that elf. Tell us the price and we'll think about it. "Henry went straight to the point as soon as he entered the house. He didn't want to waste too much time with a liaison.

Gaylan carefully locked the door, then pulled out a piece of parchment from the crack in the table. "Look, this is the condition of the Shadow Thieves Guild."

"First, deliver 100,000 gold coins at once. Second. Help the Shadow Thieves Guild fight vampires. Third...... "Read the above content." Henry's direct threw the parchment in the other's face. Obviously. The shadow thief is purely a lion's mouth. Maybe Apodell or Ammon would have agreed in a helpless situation, but he wouldn't.

"Sue sù Renault. Bloodhead, if he doesn't want to be killed by vampires, be smart, I won't agree to any of these conditions. Also, please leave this to him, and I'll talk to him in person in the docklands someday. After saying that, Henry tore off a small piece of paper and left an arcane mark on it.

I believe that as long as you find a mage to identify it, you can find out his spell casting level, and then the old nature of the Shadow Thieves Guild will understand what to do. Of course. If the other party really doesn't know what to do, then the shadow thief in this land will be completely reduced to history. Anyway, Robert has coveted this territory for a long time, and he just grabbed it.

Gaylan watched Henry and the others leave with dull eyes, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses. It was the first time he had seen someone dare to treat the conditions offered by the Shadow Thieves Guild so strongly. Although I don't know the details of the other party, it is definitely not easy to be with the daughter of Baal. He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately put half a piece of paper in his arms, then closed the gate and ran towards the docks.

Walking along the path of the slum, Amon observed his surroundings and asked curiously, "Where are we going next?" ”

Henry pointed to the Bronze Crown Inn not far ahead. "Haven't you always loved adventures. Let's go to the tavern now and see if anyone needs help. Earn some extra money by the way. ”

"Wow! It's amazing! Help others and kill monsters. There's nothing more satisfying than getting paid at the end. The girl danced and jumped.

Shantil glanced at Henry with some puzzlement, and then asked in a low voice, "Master, don't we need to contact the leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild first?" You must know that they are the head snakes of the city, and if they make too much trouble, there will be a lot of trouble. ”

"Don't be a snack, if these guys don't know how to lift, then I don't mind letting Robert and the vampires kill them. However, I don't think the leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild will be so short-sighted, so just wait patiently for the other party to send someone. ”

In Henry's plan, at least take the opportunity to swallow half of the opponent's territory. Especially after fighting the vampires, the Shadow Thieves Guild is unprecedentedly weak. If you don't take a hard bite, you're sorry for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you gain a firm foothold in Am, you can steadily advance southward. If you can have a solid presence in Port Carlin, then the plan to infiltrate the entire west coast is complete.

When the time comes, from Luskan in the north to Callinshan in the south, all Robert's eyeliner will be covered, and any slightest disturbance will be immediately detected. Moreover, all kinds of smuggling business will also be carried out on a large scale, and an underground criminal organization will be formed, which is no less than the shadow thief union. At that time, both allies and enemies will look at this force cautiously, and the safety of their territories and families will be well guaranteed in the future.

That's why Henry has always been on the path of absolute neutrality. For a powerful force that is both powerful and neutral, most people who have reason will choose to win over rather than fight. Although there are some crazy organizations on the continent of Faerun, most of them are in a state of encirclement, and even if they launch an attack, they will not choose the target in a neutral area.

As soon as they entered the Bronze Crown Hotel, everyone felt the noisy environment and bad air. The halls here are filled with all sorts of quirky drinkers, many of whom wear cloaks and fold their faces completely. Henry knew very well that very few of these people actually came to drink, and most of them were waiting for the duel show to begin, or wanting to go to the courtyard on the second floor to have a good time.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly saw a young girl in front of me, anxiously shouting at the passing drinkers, "Is there anyone willing to listen to my request?" Is there anybody? You all know me, I've helped a lot of people here! ”

Seeing the other party's eager look, Ammon gently tugged at Henry's sleeve and asked, "This person looks like he needs help, should we go over and ask what happened?" ”

Henry smiled and nodded. If I'm not mistaken, this girl is Naria, an internationalist warrior who preaches equality for all people on the continent of Feren. To be honest, he really didn't understand how a child who grew up in an aristocratic family could have such thoughts. You must know that there is an insurmountable gap between people in this world, and that is the combat profession.

Regardless of identity and social status, the difference in individual combat effectiveness alone is 108,000 miles. It is impossible for 10,000 untrained ordinary people to kill an archmage, so the so-called equality is simply a joke. If it is really in the wild, professionals will not even be punished by law for killing civilians who offend them.

The girl walked a few quick steps to the front and said hello: "Hey, hello. My name is Ammon. Looking at you, you're in a hurry, do you need a little help? ”

Naria was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly. "Yes, I need help very much right now. Are you mercenaries with formal training? ”

"Uh...... We're an adventure team, to be precise. If you get into any trouble, just say it, whether it's a monster or a bandit, it's not a problem. Ammon patted his chest and reassured.

Naria gave the girl a suspicious look, then noticed Henry, Sheena, and Shantil standing behind. As a first-class mage and thief, she clearly felt the magical power of the three of them. Although the girl in front of her looks ordinary, these teammates are quite powerful.

"My name is Naria, and I am the daughter of a nobleman. Our family's castle is under siege by many monsters, and the situation is now very critical. The number of enemies is very large, and now the shape shì is precarious. ”

"Monsters? Which ones are there? We need to know the type and number of enemies so that we can plan accordingly. Henry stepped forward and made his own request. Although he already has a vague understanding of his mind, it is still necessary to ask. The quantity, in particular, will certainly not be as small as in the game.

Naria nodded. "Very reasonable request. The invading monsters are mainly trolls, but there are also a large number of snake people and giant earth monsters. It is worth noting that there are several mages among these snake people, and they have a high level of spellcasting. There are a lot of trolls, probably between fifty and a hundred. The second is the snake people, about forty or more. Finally, there are the giant earth monsters, only about a dozen. ”

Hearing the number of monsters, Henry frowned slightly. The number is indeed a lot more than I remembered, especially the snake mage is a bit troublesome to kill. However, for the sake of experience points and mission rewards, he finally agreed. "Although the number of enemies is a bit large, we decided to take on this mission. This is the map, please mark the exact location on it. ”

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Tears welled up in Naria's eyes as she hurriedly marked the location of Deanisberg southeast of Askatra.

Henry noticed that the castle was very close to Lake Esmer in central Am, and that it was next to a lakeside city, Esmirtalan. Thermal springs gush out of the shallows in the western part of the lake, making it a well-known health and tourist destination. However, as far as he knew, there was often a huge red dragon here, and Baragas "Flying Flame" infested the area. It has an incredibly large size, a fiery temper, and a reckless use of natural spells.

Although the game does not mention who is behind the scenes, in terms of distance, this legendary dragon is the most suspicious. It's likely that it's tired of being in the Troll Mountains and wants to plan some kind of covert operation. Deanisburg happened to be the closest, so he sent his monsters to occupy it.

If that's the case, then the Battle of the Castle is too dangerous. Balagas Flame is an ancient red dragon with enough power to strike fear into the hearts of the chosen people of the gods. This guy has killed more than three digits of his kind, and is trying to use his wits to build a dragon empire before starting a massacre of humans and elves. Henry's instincts told him that if he wasn't fully prepared, he might even be alive a luxury. (To be continued......)
