Miraba's night is more noisy than any other city, and Hammer crafts weapons and armor day and night. However, the location of the "Golden River" hotel is relatively remote, and the sound of striking iron in the distance cannot be heard. After eating a large pot of stew, Ares fell asleep contentedly beside the stable. Bazel looked at it with a smile and walked in to fill the three horses with hay.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Henry got up, cleaned up his personal hygiene, and went to the hall on the first floor. Vaughn was chatting with Bazel at the bar, and the two of them were laughing as they sipped. It can be seen that they are very familiar with each other, and maybe they are still companions who fight side by side.

"Seeing that you are so happy, it can't be a night of talking." With that, Henry walked to the front of the bar and found a chair to sit down.

The one-armed old man laughed and took out a glass and poured him a glass of wine. "We didn't start until about four in the morning, and this guy said he couldn't sleep, so he had to pull me up and talk about this time."

The orc warrior gulped down the glass and burped. "Hey! It's an adventure story you've been clamoring for, and now it's on me. ”

Henry quietly pushed the wine glass in front of Vaughn, then looked at the two of them and asked, "By the way, who of you knows the more famous shops in the city, I want to buy some fine gems and rare metals." ”

"Haha! These things are the wisest choice to buy in Miraba. I'll build yì you go to the Thunderstone Merchant House in the East City, although those dwarves have a bad temper to death. However, their mining skills are definitely first-rate. With that, Bazel took out a pipe and lit a pot of tobacco.

Henry stood up and patted Vaughn on the shoulder and said, "Go, take me there." When we got back, we had some breakfast and continued on our way. ”

The orc warrior stood up, waved at Bazel, and led Henry towards the door. Since it was just dawn, most of the residents of the city had not yet gotten out of bed. The streets were deserted, with little to be seen except for the occasional patrol. It was not far from the Lei Shi businessman's management, and it only took two minutes for the two of them to walk.

Vaughn pointed to the bronze gate in front of him, "Head, this is it." You'd better go in on your own, though, as the dwarves here aren't very friendly to orcs. ”

"Then you can go back to the hotel first. Remember to call Zubosa up and clean up. I'll leave when I get back. ”

The orc warrior nodded, turned and walked back. Henry saw him disappear from sight, so he stepped forward and knocked the brass ring on the door. After a while, there was a burst of expletives in the room. Then a rude voice asked loudly, "Damn! Who knocked on the door so early. We're not open yet. ”

"You stone-minded. It's definitely the guests who come here. Don't hurry up and open the door, or your sale tonight will be cancelled. Another voice threatened.

"Oh! O God! How can you be so cruel, well. Okay, I'm going to open the door. ”

Soon a man in pajamas opened the door, looked down at Henry, and asked, "Hello, guest who disturbs other people's dreams." This is the Thunderstone Merchant Hall, do you want to buy anything? ”

Henry smiled and nodded, he didn't bother with the grumbling dwarf. "I'm here to buy some fine gemstones, and some rare metals. However, the quantity may be a lot, I don't know if you have enough stock. ”

"Yes! Of course! We have some of the most perfectly cut gemstones in the city, and we have an abundance of rare metals. As long as you have enough gold, of course you can pay with magic items. "When the word "many" was heard in the house, another dwarf came out at once. He invited Henry inside, and at the same time he introduced the various goods.

Henry found a chair and sat down and said to the dwarf, "Take out your gems first, and remember, I only want the best." Don't do anything that isn't big enough or has a flawed cut. ”

"No problem, please wait." The dwarf kicked his kindred hard. "Ruric! You lazy fellow, why don't you go to the treasury and get out all the fine gems. ”

The kicked guy trotted all the way into the house, and it wasn't long before he came back with two or two large boxes. I saw that he used his stubby fingers to play twice in the keyhole of the box, and after a "click", the whole box opened automatically. The inside of the chest was divided into numerous small compartments, each containing a cut of gemstones. In order to prevent them from colliding with each other and causing scratches, a thick piece of animal skin was padded underneath the lattice.

Henry stood up and took a closer look at a ruby, and the sections were very smooth, and the edges and corners of the cut were perfect. Such a gem can store at least one level 7 spell, or be embedded in a powerful magic item. He looked at the other pieces at random, and found that there was not much difference in quality.

"Please rest assured, we dwarves have always done business with real materials, and every gem here has been carefully carved to ensure that there will not be a single defective product." The dwarven boss patted his chest on the side and made assurances.

Henry put down the sapphire in his hand and nodded in satisfaction. "It's very good, I want it all. How much are these gemstones worth together? ”

"Did I hear me right? You mean it all! The boss's mouth opened wide in surprise, although he knew that the young man dressed as a mage in front of him should be very rich, but it was still far beyond his expectations. Please wait, I need to do the math. Lurick! Don't see a big customer come to your door? Come with me and start counting the numbers! ”

The two dwarves pouted and counted the gems by type, and finally the boss came over with a list. "There are forty rubies, thirty-eight sapphires, twenty-five diamonds, and sixty emeralds...... In the end, you will need to pay a total of 215,600 gold coins. ”

Without hesitation, Henry took out his dimensional bag and paid the cash, but before leaving, he stuffed all the ordinary taxes in the territory into his pocket. In the southern region, not to mention whether to buy or not to buy such a good quality gemstone, the price alone will at least triple the price. The dwarven boss's face bloomed with joy as he counted the gold coins on the ground as he let the men carry them to the storehouse at the back.

When the two dwarves were done, Henry bought some more rare metals and got up and returned to the Golden River inn. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw orc warriors and rangers sitting wiping their weapons, as if they had already had breakfast and were ready to go.

Bazel saw Henry sit down and pushed a breakfast on the table. "Let's finish breakfast and go. I just got bad news. The caravan returning from Icewind Dale said that after the beginning of spring, I don't know what was going on, and the packs of winter wolves ran south like crazy. They raided a number of barbarian tribes along the way, and Vaughan's tribe was probably among them. ”

Henry glanced at the orc warrior and began to eat quickly, and it took only five minutes for a large plate of food to be disposed of. "Thank you for the news, let's go now, hopefully it's not too late." So saying, he took out a small bag of gold coins and placed it on the table, turned and went to the stable with his two companions.

Vaughn kept his head down and sullen all the way, although the barbarian tribe was not a soft persimmon, but it still looked a little vulnerable in front of the hordes of winter wolves. In particular, his father is over fifty years old this year, which is a rare high life expectancy for humans living in the far north.

"Don't worry too much, these tribes along the way of the Winter Wolf's attack will not be attacked as long as they are not on the way south." Henry saw the concern of the orc warrior and patted him on the shoulder on his horse and comforted him.

Vaughn shook his head with a wry smile. "You don't know my father at all, he is a stubborn and powerful warrior, and if he hears that there is a winter wolf nearby, he will definitely lead his people to hunt. That's what worries me the most. ”

Zuvosa's eyes widened and he looked at him in surprise. "You mean they're going to take the initiative to attack hordes of winter wolves? It's just insane, I can't believe anyone would do such a thing. ”

"The barbarians think a little differently than we do, but that doesn't matter anymore. Hurry up and hurry up, and try to get to the ten towns as soon as possible to inquire about what is going on. As he spoke, Henry urged the horses to speed up.

The group ran quickly along the road leading to Luskan, then turned around and headed north as they approached. As the towering mountains in the distance become clearer, the surrounding temperatures become colder. The orc warrior pointed to a path that had been trodden out and said, "It only takes a day to see the Cone of Kane from here, and beyond that we can truly step into the land of Icewind Dale." ”

Henry glanced at the rugged mountain road and sighed, it seemed that horseback riding was not possible here. He jumped off his horse, and took the reins and walked forward step by step, all the way through the hard frozen soil, and there was no trace of spring here.

"Damn! I can't imagine anyone who can survive in such a harsh environment. The Ranger tightened her cloak, apparently unaccustomed to the howling winds.

"Humans are one of the most adaptable races in the world, and they can be seen even in poisonous places like the Bottomless Abyss." After saying that, Henry blessed himself with a spell, and the wind here is too strong. The cold wind blew through the valley and made a strange sound, as if someone was wailing in pain.
