Chapter 190: The Wilderness

PS: Bow and thank the world for the monthly ticket voted by Zhiwu.

Jasila quickly links the bandits' bizarre behavior to the iron ore crisis in Nasikai. It is clear that someone wants to monopolize all the iron ore trade in the Baldur's Gate area. She suddenly remembered that Henry had said that all these things were planned by one person behind the scenes, and that it would be terrible if all this was true.

Thinking of this, Jasila urged everyone to quicken the pace of their feet. The group walked for four or five hours in a row, and at last time, Aemon couldn't walk anymore, she sat on the ground and shouted at the front: "Jasila" aunt"! Stop and rest for a while, I can't hold on anymore. ”

"Okay, rest in place for fifteen minutes. Let's all eat something, and we'll try to get out of the wilderness before it gets dark. Jasila glanced at her tired companion and finally agreed to stop for a moment.

Henry quickly cleared a clearing and lit a bonfire with a spell, then took out a lot of sausages from the dimensional bag and roasted them on top. After a few minutes, a fragrance slowly wafted out, which made everyone who hadn't eaten for a day swallow their saliva.

"Come and eat, you don't have the strength to go hungry." As he spoke, Henry handed out the roasted oily sausages. Apodell and Ammon dropped the hard bread in their hands and gulped down the steaming sausages. Mr. and Mrs. Jasila thanked each other and stuffed the bread into their bags.

"Hiccup! This sausage tastes so good! Where did you buy it? Aemon asked, belching.

Henry looked at the girl's greasy lips and shook his head with a smile. "I don't know, but the housekeeper asked the chefs to make it. Also, you'd better wipe your mouth. ”

"Butler? Oh, my God! Then you must be a nobleman! Is there still a beautiful castle? Ammon rubbed his sleeve casually. Then she leaned over and looked at him with curious eyes.

Henry reluctantly put his finger on the girl's head. Pushed her head back slightly. Because her face is almost up. "I'm the lord of an archipelago overseas, and unfortunately there are no castles built there. And this seems to have been said in the Friendly Arm time, right? ”

"Great! When this adventure is over, I must come to you for a few days to live the life of a noble lady. So saying, Ammon stood up and walked around the ground like a noble woman. Her exaggerated movements and expressions drew applause and laughter from Apodell.

Fifteen minutes of happy time passed quickly, and the group extinguished the campfire and began to continue on their way. They hadn't gone far before they heard a scream faintly in the distance. Apodell alertly drew his two-handed sword, and it seemed that the battle of the past few days had made him mature quickly.

Five people ran to the accident site. It's a pity, though, except for the two tall Warcraft men. All that remained was a corpse dressed in red. Without saying a word, Henry directly aimed at one of the monsters and fired the "Ma Youfu Strong Acid Arrow", the spell hit the head accurately, and the strong acid corroded a large area of skin in the blink of an eye, and the monster fell to the ground with a scream.

Aboldel didn't give the enemy time to react, and rushed directly in front of the other monster man, and the sword in both hands slashed through his stomach, blood gushing out, and intestines and minced flesh flowed all over the ground. He jumped up at the moment when the enemy bent down, and cut off the head of the Warcraft with a single sword.

The battle was over after only a minute of starting. Both Beastmen's heads left their bodies and were kicked into the woods by Apodell. Jasira crouched down and took a closer look at the victim's body. A bloodstained letter was found from his bosom. It appears that the deceased was a messenger who had arrived from the south.

"This letter is a letter written by a man named Roy to his wife, looking in the direction in which the messenger is on his way. It was supposed to be sent to Belgoust. With that, Jasila handed the letter to Henry.

The latter took a closer look at the signature, and immediately remembered that Roy and Milian's family lived behind Thor's blacksmith shop. "I know this family, let's drop by when we come back after we deal with the iron ore crisis."

"You can take this letter first, anyway, no one except you knows where the family lives." As he spoke, Apodell wiped the blood off his sword and put it behind him again.

They dug a pit by the side of the road, buried the halfling messenger in it, and erected a simple tombstone. After doing this, the group was back on the road. As I passed through a wood, a man suddenly burst out of it. He made a quiet gesture, then lowered his voice and said, "Squat down, be quiet!" Don't you hear? This is the voice of the beast. At least two, maybe more. ”

"You seem to be familiar with this place, do you know any clues related to the iron ore crisis?" Jasila asked, glancing at the man dressed as a hunter.

The man scoffed disdainfully. "I don't want to bother with all that frivolous politics. What else is there but lies and deception? Besides, I don't need iron for hunting, these things have nothing to do with me. A word of advice to you, it's best to hold your weapons tight at all times in this forest, for a large number of robbers have recently arrived here. With that, he plunged into the woods and disappeared in a few clicks.

"It's such a strange fellow, I bet he must have lived in the forest all year round, and maybe wouldn't see a stranger for years." Apodell said with a frown, he didn't like the tone of the man's voice.

Henry was about to speak, when suddenly an arrow shot from behind him, cutting a bloody streak on his face. "There are enemies! They seem to be hiding in the woods behind them! ”

Khalid immediately raised his shield to block the front, and soon the crowd spotted several goblin archers hiding behind trees and firing cold arrows. Jasila chanted a spell aloud, and soon a dark cloud gathered in the sky above. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning burst out of the clouds and struck a goblin in the body, electrocuting it into a charred corpse.

The goblins were taken aback by the spell, and they did not hesitate to abandon their companions and turn away. Ammon drew his bow and shot an arrow through the neck of one of the fellows, followed by another bolt of lightning that killed an unlucky man. The most dear Hou Heng used a magic missile to open the heads of the remaining two goblins.

As soon as the battle was over, Ammon, who was a fan of wealth, ran over to look for the loot. Within a few minutes, she was back with a pair of old-looking leather boots, two greatswords, a short bow, two quivers, and a small bag of silver coins and copper plates. "These guys are poor, but I've found some valuable loot."

"Oh! This damn taste! Aamon, how did you get back a pair of boots that goblins wore through? I bet it's certainly worthless. Apodell pinched his nose far away, and the stench almost made him vomit the contents of his stomach.

Henry clearly sensed that the boots were a magical item. He cleaned it up with a "magic trick" and then unleashed a "discernment". Soon everyone saw the properties of these boots.

Stealth Boots: "Stale Whispers"

Many years ago, a king named Riga had a group of daring spies. Their skill is so skilled that no whisper in the country can escape anyone's ears, and they have a complete map of every castle and town. Eventually, the group was sabotaged by traitors from within, and the tools they relied on for their livelihood were stolen and sold to ensure that no one would form such a powerful spy group again in the future.

Equipment Capabilities:

Wearing boots is enough to make your footsteps quiet.

The success rate of shadow hiding has been greatly improved.

"Aha! As far as I know, these boots are definitely not ordinary. Looking at its attributes, it's simply tailor-made for me. Wait until Nasikai finds a tailor. Dye it pink from the inside out and you're perfect. Aemon shook her head triumphantly, as the only thief in the group, it was clear that the Stealth Boots should be at her disposal.

Henry smiled and pointed at Apodell. "Aamon you'd better hurry up and put it on, I didn't see a guy over there going crazy with jealousy."

"Nonsense!" Apodell blushed and immediately retorted. "Sooner or later, I'll have countless treasures, and maybe a few of them will be there."

Jasira walked over and patted him on the head. "Stop dreaming, take these greatswords on your back. Now that there is a shortage of iron products, weapons will definitely be sold at a price several times more expensive than usual. ”

Henry looked at the reluctant Apodell, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Because it won't take more than two years for his wish to come true, and then he will not only have an artifact, but he will also kill several creatures that can rival the gods.

After the girl changed her boots, the group continued along the main road. Within two hours, they saw a stone tablet that read, "To the south to Nasikai." Just as the five of them were about to sit down and rest for a while, a team of Flame Fist mercenaries in metal armor walked over. One of the leading guys shouted at everyone: "Hey! You have been arrested for robbery and roadblocking! Quickly lay down your weapons and take them in hand. ”

"You're obviously sunburned in the scorching sun, soldier. I suggest you throw away this stupid idea and let us pass. Mayor Nasikai himself is waiting for us. Jasila instantly showed a powerful aura, and the entire team of soldiers was shocked by her.

"Uh...... The mayor himself? The captain obviously hesitated, he looked at the group carefully, and then gritted his teeth and continued to ask, "Really?" Why should I believe you? ”

Henry stood up and showed him the noble badge in his hand. "Now you can trust that we're not robbers, right?"

"I'm sorry! My lord. These rampant robbers have driven us all crazy lately. They kept attacking the merchants who were carrying iron products, as if someone had been tipping off the guys. The captain hurriedly bowed and explained. He recognized Henry's family coat of arms, and as a nobleman second only to the Grand Duke in the Baldur's Gate region, it was obviously impossible for him to have anything to do with the robbers.
