Chapter 423: The Legend of the Uninvited Guest and the (Naked) Mage

While Henry was busy interrogating the pirate captives, gathering information and selecting qualified leaders, a procession carrying the logo of the Church of Los Angeles entered the gates of Belgost. A thief in charge of keeping an eye quickly reported the matter back to the stronghold, and Robert, who had just returned from the north, saw a sneer on his face.

He knew very well what these people were here for. Especially for something as big as the attack on the temple, it can't hide the intelligence network that is dense throughout the Principality. If it weren't for the Thieves' Guild to help clean up the traces, it might have been exposed. After all, it was the first time for the vampire girls to carry out this kind of secret mission, and it was normal for some omissions to be missed.

But now the trouble is coming, and the Church of the Lord of Dawn has sent a full fifteen paladins, plus five priests, to investigate the truth. Obviously, if they can't find the real culprit behind the scenes, they won't give up lightly. You must know that most of the holy warriors are dead-eyed, and they don't know what flexibility and compromise are at all, and it is better to expect these guys to give up their goals, than to expect the old sow to go up the tree to be realistic.

After a slight sigh, Robert threw the information into the brazier beside him, then stood up and straightened his equipment and walked in the direction of the town hall. He had to take care of this before he left, or he wouldn't be able to head south to Ascatra to consolidate his new territory.

At the same time, after setting up the group, Wilder walked in the same direction alone. Ten minutes later, the two men met unexpectedly at the gate of the city hall. They all noticed the aura of a strong man inadvertently emanating from each other's bodies, smiled at each other and nodded, and walked into the room together.

As a fifteenth-level thief master, Robert clearly felt the divine power that the paladin beside him inadvertently emanated. And confirmed the identity of the other party at the first time. At the same time, vigilance is raised to the highest level. As he walked inside, he asked tentatively, "Good afternoon." Is there anything you have to do here? ”

"Of course, I'm a paladin who believes in the Lord of Dawn, and I'm here to investigate the destruction of the Temple on the East. If you have any news or rumors, please be sure to let us know and we will pay you well. Wilder bowed respectfully. As a holy warrior who symbolizes order and goodness, not only can he not lie, but he must also maintain politeness and honorifics at all times.

Robert pretended to be stern and nodded. "I just got the word about what you said, and it's said that a group of vampires and demons raided the temple and killed everything that was alive inside."

Wilde frowned and muttered, "Vampire? I see. No wonder blood was sprinkled everywhere inside the temple. ”

He figured out the truth and bowed again. "Thank you very much for the important information, if you can, can you tell us more about the relatively large vampire forces in the vicinity?"

"I don't really know about that. There aren't any big vampires in the Baldur's Gate, but there is a group of vampires in Ammu in the south who are at war with the Shadow Thieves. They are also said to have formed a guild called the Nightblade, which is marked by two crossed daggers and two large fangs. ”

It can be said that Robert and Henry are really very good-hearted, and they don't understand it at all in advance, but they both think of the same target of planting. Speaking of which, the vampires in the Ascalla Graveyard are doing quite badly lately, and if it weren't for Veran's daily efforts to waste his strength to create new descendants, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before Arcarnes killed them all.

The legendary thief was so angry about his surprise attack that he had been so badly injured that he "borrowed" (well, actually stole) a short sword that exuded powerful positive energy from the temple of the god of guards, Heim. Ordinary vampires are no match at all, and if they are stabbed, they will feel like they are being exposed to direct sunlight. Instantly turned into a pile of dust.

"Do you see if it's a sign like that?" As he spoke, Wilde carefully pulled out a bat-shaped badge made of black metal from his pocket. These are the evidence that the vampire girls deliberately stayed where they were, and in order to avoid any flaws, they hid them for a while, pretending to have fallen inadvertently during the battle.

Robert picked it up and looked at it pretendedly, and finally gave an affirmative answer: "That's right, this is the logo of the Nightblade Guild." I think it's about the same, after all, they are the only ones who have made the biggest moves on the entire West Coast in recent times. If you're going to investigate further, I'd better go to Ascatra and ask the Shadow Thieves there. ”

"Thank you very much! You've been a great help, and it's a little thank you, please be sure to accept it. As he spoke, Wilde took out a pale golden cup from his waist and offered it with both hands.

There is no doubt that this is a blessed magic item, and since the main material is gold, it is worth a lot of money at first glance. In line with the principle of taking advantage of the advantage, Robert took the cup with both hands and said with a smile: "Then I will be ashamed." By the way, I'm going to go to the south recently, so if you don't mind, why don't you go together? ”

Wild's face showed a hint of joy and hurriedly agreed, "Oh? That's great! However, we are in a hurry, when do you plan to leave? ”

It could be seen that he was very happy to have such a professional join him, after all, the paladins and priests were not very good at finding out in mixed places, and it would be much easier if there was a powerful thief accompanying him.

"Soon, I'll go up and report now, and it won't take more than two hours at most." The reason why Robert had to accompany him was to bring these paladins into the pit so completely that they would never be able to climb out. You must know that the combat effectiveness of this team of twenty people is quite good, and if you don't make good use of it, you will be too sorry for yourself.

"No problem, if you're done with your work, please come to me at the Entertaining Artist Hotel." Wilder smiled and nodded, then turned to leave. He originally came here to inquire about the news, but now that he has found clues, there is no need to deal with local officials.

After watching the young and handsome paladin leave, the corners of Robert's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. He lowered his voice and said to himself, "What an idiot, it's so easy to get hit." It seems that the master is right, the believers of this god are not very smart, impulsive, self-righteous, and personal heroism, just because they can find out the truth. But these guys are really generous, and I'm afraid this cup can be worth a lot of money. ”

――――――――――――――――――

The Holy Grail of Loshanda:

This gold zuò cup has accumulated a considerable amount of divine power due to its long-term enshrinement in the center of the shrine. In addition, he has been blessed by the Lord of Dawn and has gained a lot of incredible power.

Special Abilities:

Three times a day, the first-level magic "heals minor injuries"

Once a day, the second-level magic "slows down the poison attack"

Once a day, the third-level magic "heals diseases"

――――――――――――――――――

It can be said that a cup is equivalent to a small temple, which can heal most wounds, diseases and toxins, and is quite practical for those who do not have the ability to heal. If it is sold on the black market, I believe that many elite adventure teams are willing to pay more than 3,000 gold coins to buy it.

After putting the cup in his fanny pack, Robert hummed a tune and walked towards the mayor's office. There was still some news to inform Hawke before he set off, so that he could be mentally prepared. Take the current situation in the North, and Henry unleashing a legendary spell naked on the docks of Waterdeep.

Especially the news that followed, but it caused a great sensation. Now the name of Luo Body Mage is circulating everywhere in Deep Water City, and many people are talking about the scene behind their backs, and some special service places have even started public role-playing with the help of this wave. Some ladies and ladies who are not willing to be lonely frequent, if it weren't for Kelburn, Leila, and those deepwater lords who kept it a secret, I'm afraid that Henry's nude portrait would be taken away by countless women.

Of course, many conservatives say that although this powerful legendary mage defeated the Sawa Fishman bandits, it still can't change the fact that he is either mentally ill or perverted. Although these people were right, Henry's mental state at the time was indeed not normal, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of praise.

After all, it's just a matter of whether or not to wear clothes, but the fish-man robbers are a real threat. In order to hold the line to the death, the army of Waterdeep City was dying every day, and the food supply was also in short supply for a while. But now that the enemy had retreated, the trade routes between the north and the east were back to normal, a steady stream of goods was brought to the docks, and prices were restored to normal in a very short time.

Many soldiers who have witnessed the terrifying power of the "sunrise" will give a thumbs up as soon as they mention the Luo body mage: real men or pure men and the like. Although the distance was relatively far away at that time, they could not see their faces clearly, but this did not prevent them from making up their brains, and soon the image of a two-meter-tall, toned muscle, and a full beard was recognized by most people.

In the eyes of many people with artistic cells, only such a perfect masculine body is worthy of that radiant legendary magic. Several famous sculptors are planning to use it as a model to create a five-meter-tall stone statue that will permanently stand in the plaza in the heart of Waterdeep to commemorate the great hero.

Robert was taken aback when he first heard the news, and then began to laugh heartily, laughing for half an hour before stopping, and then burning all the mess without hesitation, not intending to let Henry see it.

After so many years together, he knew that his master would definitely not like to be famous in this way, and there was no doubt that this matter was best handled coldly. Quietly wait for the enthusiasm of ordinary people to subside and then negotiate with the lords of Deep Water City to solve it, anyway, you must not move now, otherwise it will be a big shame once the truth is found out by Shun Teng Magic.
