Broad World

Henry glanced at the slightly excited dwarf suspiciously and asked, "Could it be that the lords are just looking at these evil creatures in the ground, conducting illegal transactions on the outskirts of Waterdeep City with impunity?"

Nan Fuduo sat down on the ground, and he answered with a little dejection: "In the beginning, there were several encirclement campaigns, but these cunning guys hid underground, and the guards suffered heavy losses if they went deeper. Later, because of the huge profits, more and more people participated. Because there were too many interests involved, the lords no longer paid attention to the transactions there."

"Okay, Nanfudo, I know that your sister was brain eaten by those mind flayers. But don't show it when you go to the port of bones later, or those octopus heads will eat you too." The old man reminded loudly.

The dwarf tugged at a lock of his hair. "Don't worry about One Eye, I won't take this emotion with me. There is still a mother and two children to support at home. This job is very important to me." After speaking, he sat in the corner and fiddled with the things in his hands without saying a word.

The old man picked up the bottle and took a sip of wine and said to Henry: "I'm sorry that the guest made you laugh. A few years ago when Nanfuduo's sister followed him in the smuggling business, she was caught by the mind flayers who had just arrived on the surface. They opened her head with disgusting tentacles without saying a word. Nanfuduo saw his sister's brains sucked dry with his own eyes. At that time, he wanted to seek revenge from the octopus heads like crazy, but I stopped them. You must know that the gap between us humans and them is too great , Maybe he will be controlled and used as a slave before he rushes to the front."

Henry nodded seriously. "You're right, mind flayers have very powerful psychic abilities. They can use "mind blasts," uncanny energies enough to knock most creatures in place."

The old man smiled helplessly. "Few people in our industry can get a good death. Either they were blacked out by their peers and died, or they died at the hands of monsters and robbers on the road. I am very grateful to the God of Thieves for being able to live to this day. Maybe I will report to Mask's God Kingdom in a short time. Well, let's not talk about this, Nanfudo will upload it with guests. Remember to control yourself, I don't want to take care of your mother and children."

The dwarf stood up and slapped his bottom. "Don't worry, old guy, I haven't lived enough. Well, come with me now, Skull Harbor is a long way from here." After speaking, he led Henry and his party out of the house.

Along the dirty alleys, a group of people soon came to the seaside. The dwarf pointed to a small wooden boat on the beach. "Let's do this and try to keep quiet for a while. You must know that these smugglers have a bad temper. If you accidentally provoke these people, they will turn into robbers at any time."

The orc warrior touched his weapon with a smile. "My temper is not very good. If they become robbers, I don't mind turning them into corpses."

Nan Fuduo glanced at the strong Vaughan. "Well, let me tell you in advance that if any accident happens, I will definitely run away."

Henry smiled and shook his head. "I didn't expect you to fight either. Don't worry, these ordinary smugglers are no match for us. It only takes a few minutes for me to use my magic to clean them up. Well, let's start rowing now." After speaking, he began to take the lead in pushing the boat into the sea. After everyone boarded the boat, the dwarf and Vaughn began to paddle vigorously, and the boat drew a water mark on the sea, heading for the port not far away.

Henry said to the others on the boat: "Remember that if you see the mind flayers stay away from them for a while, these guys can use the power of the mind to spy on your thoughts at any time. If there is an accident, don't talk, I will be in charge of negotiating with them." After speaking, he touched his mind barrier amulet, which can be immune to most of the attacks of these octopus heads.

"No problem, I also think those octopus heads look disgusting, it's best not to deal with them." Dai Lina whispered while hiding her whole body in the cloak. Henry smiled and patted her on the shoulder, comforting the tiefling girl who had just arrived on the surface and felt a little uneasy.

The boat sailed on the sea for half an hour, and the dwarf stood up and pointed to a small lighthouse in the distance. "We are going to Skull Harbor soon. From now on, everyone has to keep their spirits up. This is a lawless place, and anything can happen."

Under the cover of night, a group of people quietly passed several smuggling boats and boarded the pier. As soon as their feet landed on the ground, they were surrounded by a group of people. The leader asked, "Who are you! What's the purpose of coming here!"

The dwarf came running quickly from behind. "Hi! Don't get me wrong, they are all passengers on the ship. Please don't scare our guests, because they have paid a lot of money."

"Damn it! I thought there was another fat sheep here. It's really disappointing. You can go now, remember to ask One Eye to pay this month's management fee quickly." After speaking, a large group of people went away with a huff.

The orc warrior let go of his weapon and asked, "Who are they? It sounds like they're managing the pier."

Nan Fuduo glanced at Vaughan. "It's best not to know too much, it's not good for you. These guys are some bloody vampires, and we have to share half of our monthly profits with them. Now I'll take you aboard, and I'm uncomfortable staying here for one more minute." After speaking, he took the lead along the path and walked towards the ships docked at the berth in the distance.

Just when she was about to get on the boat, Dai Lina suddenly grabbed the dwarf in front, and Nanfudo broke free from the hand that was holding his clothes and asked angrily, "Why are you dragging me? The one in front is the Gray Parrot."

"Shut up! If you make any more noise, I'll wring your throat." The tiefling girl took off her hood and threatened viciously. The dwarf was startled when he saw her clearly, and he covered his mouth tightly with his hand, for fear of angering the half-devil by making a sound.

"We're getting annoyed, the three mind flayers on the ship ahead are confronting the crew." Delina said to everyone.

Henry glanced at the dark ships ahead. "It's really thanks to your low-light vision this time. Now everyone is ready to fight. Don't be relentless in the event of a conflict, and try to aim at their heads." After speaking, he and Debra began to bless themselves with a few protective spells, and then a group of people walked towards the Gray Parrot.

As soon as Henry stepped onto the deck, a voice sounded in his brain: "Stranger, don't meddle in your own business. Get out of here, or your brain will be eaten."

"Nan Fuduo, you came at the right time. These mind flayers want to requisition this ship. I explained to them that it didn't work at all. You should hurry up and notify the managers of the pier." The captain shouted loudly.

Henry glanced at the dwarf with red eyes, and he quietly made an attack gesture to the other three people behind him. Immediately afterwards, he began to chant a spell on the three octopus heads, and the casting action immediately caused a chain reaction. The Mind Flayer used a Mind Blast towards this side, and the Mind Barrier Talisman quickly formed a force field to counteract it. The half-orc warrior casually took out his throwing axe and threw it at one of them. The mind flayer was caught off guard and his head was split in half, white brains splattered all over the floor.

After the other two saw it, they quickly controlled several sailors to rush over, and Vaughn easily knocked them all out with one fist. Dai Lina approached the target quickly with strange steps. When the mind flayer found her, tiefling had already pulled out a short sword made of pure gold and stabbed down fiercely. The two well-developed tentacles on the octopus' head quickly entangled Delina's wrist, and the other two began to invade her ears respectively, trying to suck the attacker's brains dry.

Just when the mind flayer thought that he would be able to deal with this half-devil immediately, the tiefling girl showed a strange smile, and swung her tail fiercely, aiming at the back of the mind flayer's head and stabbing it down. The metal sharp blade equipped on the tail easily passed through the soft head tissue, and the octopus head fell powerlessly on the deck immediately.

The last mind flayer, finding himself in dire straits, unleashed two mind blasts in succession in an attempt to escape the ship. Debra passed through its body with a lightning spell, and the strong current interfered with the brain's control of the body. Henry then added a fifth-level spell "Ice Cone".

There was a cheer from the ship's sailors as the last of the mind flayers died. It took a while for Nan Fuduo to wake up from the mind blast. He took out his dagger and rushed to the body of the mind flayer and stabbed it fiercely. The crazy look made the others frown, and the dwarf stopped panting heavily until the corpse was turned into pieces of flesh.

The captain walked up to him and handed him a towel. "Come on, today is considered revenge for your sister. Don't think about it in the future, otherwise you won't live long here." After speaking, he came over and saluted Henry and the others. "You must be the passengers of this voyage. Welcome to the Gray Parrot. I'm Captain Caron. Thank you for your help just now, otherwise the whole ship might really be taken over by them." After speaking, he also paid special attention to the Tiefling girl who was wiping her tail.

Henry smiled after seeing the look in his eyes. "Don't worry about the captain, I guarantee that Dai Lina will not take the initiative to cause any trouble. But you'd better control the ** of the sailors, otherwise it may cause her to fight back in self-defense."

The captain gave a wry smile. "Don't worry, I will warn them. And the sailors have seen your battle just now, they will not provoke someone as powerful as you. That burly orc warrior alone can scare them away."
