Chapter 105: Returning Home and Crisis (Second Update, Asking for the First Order)

Just in the middle of dinner, the door was suddenly pushed open. Silky ran in with her skirt in her hand, and she excitedly shouted to Henry, "Welcome home, dear, Hawke said you were discussing an alliance with Waterdeep, how did it turn out?" ”

Henry picked up the cloth and wiped his mouth, then stood up and gave her a hug. "It was a bit of a twist and turn, but it worked. We are now allies of Waterdeep, and if they are invaded in the future, they will send an army to the rescue. By the way, what about my mother and sister? After saying that, he looked behind his wife and saw that there was no sign of them.

"Lina, the clever little ghost, and Hawke's daughter Mia became good sisters, and they were inseparable every day, and today they refused to come back and said that they wanted to sleep together. Her mother was worried that she would be naughty, so she stayed with her. Sycodia explained to her husband with a smile, and suddenly she found Dai Lina eating on the table and asked in surprise, "Oh! Oh my God! Is this lady a new friend you've brought back? ”

The Tiefling girl wiped her mouth and stood up and saluted. "Hello ma'am, I'm a partner I met with Henry in Waterdeep, you can call me Dai Lina."

Shi Kodi hurriedly walked over and shook her hand, and asked curiously: "Hello, my name is Shi Kodi, please forgive me for my curiosity, can I ask your race?" ”

Dai Lina touched her horn. "Of course, I'm a Tieflin, and I'm often called half-devils."

Henry interrupted the conversation with a smile. "Okay, dear, let's let Dai Lina eat first. If there is any problem, you can talk to her alone tomorrow, we are tired from this trip. ”

Poety nodded intently at the horns on the Tieflin girl's head and tail behind her. "Okay, then I'll go take a shower first. I won't disturb your meal. With that, she nodded to everyone, smiled, and ran up the stairs.

Henry returned to his seat to find Dai Lina still standing in place, stunned. He shouted with a laugh. "Don't be stunned, sit down and eat. Otherwise, the dish will be cold after a while. I think Scotti must have caused you a lot of trouble. Don't worry she's not malicious, she's just a little curious about you. ”

"It's nothing, it's the first time I've seen someone so enthusiastic about me, and I'm a little uncomfortable. But it's a good feeling. With that, Tiflin returned to her seat.

Henry said as he cut the meat, "Since you feel good about Sycodi, let her take you around the city, it will help you settle into the environment more quickly." ”

Dai Lina smiled and nodded. "I'd love to visit the city below, and it's nice to have someone with me."

Dinner was soon over, and Vaughn, who had eaten and drunk, got up to take his leave, and he was going to the barracks to find a savage friend for a few drinks. Debra is also returning to the Mage's Tower. See if the apprentices have been lazy during this time. After Henry asked the butler to arrange a guest room for Dai Lina, he went upstairs to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Scordy in a sexy pajamas, lying on the bed in a seductive pose, and Henry suddenly felt his lower body begin to congest. He quickly stripped naked and pounced, kissing his wife's feet to her lips. The two of them tossed in bed for more than an hour before stopping, and Shikodi hugged her husband and asked, "Tell me the truth, dear." Are you going to do something dangerous again? I can see that Hawke lied to me when he came back. ”

Henry kissed his wife on the forehead. "Don't worry, didn't I come back safely. Although the whole process is a bit dangerous and exciting. But this time it's a big profit. Not only is he an ally with Waterdeep, but he also has a bit of a relationship with Kelburn and Lyra. ”

Poetry's eyes lit up. "You've met Mr. and Mrs. Kelburn! Lila. Are Silver Hands as beautiful as the legend says? ”

"Yes, Kelburn is a very strict person, and Leila is as beautiful as the legend says. They are all the chosen people of the goddess of magic. Never grow old and die. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will take you to meet them. Henry stroked his wife's smooth back as he answered her question.

"yes. When I was a child, I heard the story of the Seven Northland sisters, and they have always been the perfect women in my mind. There is a great deal of power. And a perfect and ageless look. Poeti said in an envious tone.

Henry looked at his wife's envious gaze. "Although I can't make you immortal yet, it's still possible to stay young forever."

Sycody sat up happily. "Really? That's great! I've been worrying about getting older lately. What if you don't love me anymore. ”

"Don't worry, I'll go to the Mage Tower for some research after I'm done with some trivialities. The potion will be delivered to you soon. Now go to sleep, I promised Dai Lina for you to accompany her around the city tomorrow. With that, Henry began to close his eyes and prepare for bed.

Poeti was still a little excited and couldn't sleep, and she pushed her husband. "One last question, how did Dai Lina and you meet? Can I ask to pet her horns and tail tomorrow? ”

Henry was really a little tired, and he replied without opening his eyes: "When I was adventuring underground, Dai Lina was a slave of a dark elf at the time, and I liberated her. Later, we escaped from the underground together, and I don't think there should be any problem with touching the corners. Forget about the tail, it is said that Tiefling's tail is particularly sensitive and will not be touched lightly. After receiving a satisfactory answer, Sykodi lay down and covered herself with the quilt and began to sleep.

When Henry opened his eyes the next morning, he found that his wife was gone. He stood up and looked out the window, only to find that Sycody and Dai Lina had boarded the carriage and were about to take a tour of the city. Henry smiled, turned around and began to dress himself, brushed his teeth briefly, washed his face and went to the living room on the first floor.

The butler quickly greeted him and handed over a note. "Earl, Robert sent this in the morning. The person who delivered the letter asked me to pass it on to you personally, saying that you will understand after reading it. ”

Henry took the note and quickly opened it, which read: "The Arcane Brotherhood has once again infiltrated the sewers and is now under close surveillance. After reading it, he frowned, he didn't expect that the Arcane Brotherhood was still a thief, and now that he had formed an alliance with Waterdeep City, he didn't have to be too afraid of their direct attack. It's time to give this megalomaniacal organization a little color.

Determined to burn the note to ashes. "I have something to go out, and if I haven't come back in the afternoon, I don't have to wait for dinner. If someone asks, say I'm taking care of some chores. ”

The butler bowed. "No problem, Earl, are you not eating breakfast then?"

"No, this matter is urgent, I need to hurry up." With that, Henry walked out of the gate and flew up, and soon came to the door of Robert's underground union.

The thieves at the door looked at him warily. "This is the territory of the union, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

Henry hid his face under his hood, and he handed the note over. "You can just give this to Robert, and say I'll wait for him here."

When the thieves heard Henry's voice, they immediately recognized it as the mage who had been there last time. He took the note and nodded. "Please wait a moment, I'll go in and report." After saying that, he turned around and went into the warehouse.

Robert is personally training the Dark Elf slaves he bought back yesterday in the basement. Since most of them have some stealth and stealing skills, it doesn't take much effort to train. All he cared about now was the obedience of these guys, after all, the reputation of the dark elves was notorious, and they could stab them in the back at any moment.

Just as he was about to consider whether he should order a "big meal", the thief who was guarding the door ran in. He whispered a few words in Robert's ear, and the young leader of thieves immediately turned to his deputy and said, "The training of these dark elves will be handed over to you first, don't let their guard down, I still have some things to deal with." ”

A smile crossed the deputy's face. "Boss, don't worry. I'm going to train these guys well, they don't have a lot of tricks up here. ”

Roberto nodded and turned to leave the basement to the door, he walked directly to Henry's side and whispered, "Master, you are finally back." Four days ago, the Arcane Brotherhood sent another group of people into the sewers, and there were a lot more than last time. And I've found that some of them are not low-level. ”

"Let's talk about the specifics, I need to know their numbers, occupations, ethnicities, and specific combat capabilities now."

The young leader of the thieves pulled out a map of the sewers from his bosom, densely marked with symbols. He pointed to the left side of the map. "These people were all gathered on the west side of the sewer, about forty people. Among them, there was a relatively high-ranking mage who should be their leader, and there were about ten apprentices, and the rest were basically warriors and thieves. Two of them tried to infect the inhabitants of the city at night, and I sent someone to keep an eye on them. However, based on the investigation, they should have carried several golems. ”

Henry took a breath of cold air, the Arcane Brotherhood was willing to pay for it. The combination of mage and golem gave him a bit of a headache, and it seemed that he couldn't act immediately for the time being. He needs to gather the strength in his hands and deliver a ruining blow to these guys. He nodded at Robert. "Very well, now continue to closely monitor their movements. If you find out that the beast wants to spread the virus, kill me directly. Don't act rashly about the rest, I need to prepare. (To be continued......)
