Broad World

Just in the middle of the dinner, the door was suddenly pushed open. Shikodi ran in with her skirt on, and she shouted excitedly at Henry: "Welcome home, dear, Hawke said that you are discussing an alliance with Deepwater City, what's the result?"

Henry picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth, stood up and gave her a hug. "Although the process was a bit tortuous, it succeeded in the end. We are now allies of Waterdeep City. If they are invaded in the future, they will send troops to rescue. By the way, where are my mother and sister?" After speaking, he looked behind his wife and found that they were not there.

"The little clever Lina has become good sisters with Hawke's daughter Mia. They are inseparable every day. They refused to come back today and said they wanted to sleep together. The mother worried that she would be naughty, so she stayed with her." Shi Kodi explained to her husband with a smile, and suddenly she found Dai Lina who was eating at the table and asked in surprise: "Oh! My God! Is this lady a new friend you brought back?"

The tiefling girl wiped her mouth, stood up and saluted. "Hi Ma'am, I'm a partner Henry met in Waterdeep City, you can call me Dai Lina."

Shi Kodi hurried over and shook hands with her and asked curiously: "Hi, my name is Shi Kodi, please forgive my curiosity, can I ask about your race?"

Delina touched her horn. "Of course, I'm a tiefling, and I'm often called a half-devil."

Henry interrupted the conversation of the two with a smile. "Okay dear, let Dai Lina eat first. If you have any questions, you can talk to her alone tomorrow. We are exhausted from this trip."

Shikodi stared at the horns on the Tiefling girl's head and the tail behind her with unfinished eyes and nodded. "Okay, then I'll take a shower first, so I won't disturb everyone's meal." After speaking, she nodded to everyone, smiled and ran up the stairs.

Henry returned to his seat and found that Delina was still standing there in a daze, so he yelled with a smile. "Don't be in a daze, sit down and eat quickly. Otherwise, the food will be cold in a while. I think Shikodi must have caused you a lot of trouble. Don't worry, she has no malicious intentions, she is just a little curious about you."

"It's nothing, it's the first time I've seen someone being so enthusiastic towards me, and I'm a little uncomfortable. But this feeling is good." Said the tiefling girl and returned to her seat.

Henry said while cutting the meat: "Since you feel good about Shikodi, let her take you around the city, which will help you integrate into the environment here faster."

Delina nodded with a smile. "I also really want to visit the cities below. It would be best to have someone to accompany me."

The dinner was over soon, and Vaughan, who was full and full, got up and said goodbye. He was going to the barracks to find a barbarian friend for a few drinks. Debra will also go back to the Mage Tower to see if the apprentices have been lazy during this time. After Henry asked the housekeeper to arrange a guest room for Dai Lina, he went upstairs to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Shi Kodi wearing a naked pajamas, lying on the bed and posing in a naked pose, and Henry suddenly felt that his breasts began to swell. He rushed forward quickly, kissing his wife's feet to her lips. The two of them tossed about for more than an hour before they stopped. Shi Kodi hugged her husband and asked, "Honey, tell me the truth. Are you going to do something dangerous again? It can be seen that Hawke lied to me when he came back."

Henry kissed his wife on the forehead. "Don't worry, I came back safely. Although the whole process was a bit dangerous and exciting, but this time I made a lot of money. Not only did I become an ally with Waterdeep City, but I also got a little relationship with Kelben and Laila."

Shikodi's eyes lit up. "You met the Kelben couple! Is Lyra Silverhand as beautiful as the legend says?"

"Yes, Kelben is a very serious person, and Lila is as beautiful as in the legend. They are all chosen by the Goddess of Magic and will never age and die. If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to meet them." Henry rubbed his wife's smooth back while answering her questions.

"Yes, when I was young, I heard the story of the Seven Sisters of the Northland. They have always been the perfect women in my mind. They have both powerful strength and a perfect and never-aging appearance." Shi Kodi said in an envious tone.

Henry looked at his wife with envious eyes. "Although I can't make you immortal yet, it's still possible to keep your youth forever."

Shikodi sat up happily. "Really? That's great! I've been worrying about what to do if you don't love me anymore when I get old. "

"Don't worry, I'll go to the Mage Tower to do some research after finishing some trivial matters. The potion will be delivered to you soon. Go to sleep now, and I promised you that Dai Lina will accompany her to go shopping in the city tomorrow." After speaking, Henry began to close his eyes and prepare for sleep.

Shikodi was still a little excited and couldn't fall asleep, so she pushed her husband. "One last question, how did Dai Lina meet you? Can I ask to touch her horns and tail tomorrow?"

Henry was really tired, and he replied without opening his eyes: "Delina was a slave of a dark elf when I was adventuring underground. I liberated her. Later, we escaped from the ground together. As for touching the horns, I think there should be no problem. Forget about the tail. It is said that tiefling's tail is very sensitive and will not be easily touched by others." After receiving a satisfactory answer, Shikodi lay down and covered the quilt and began to sleep.

When Henry opened his eyes the next morning, he found that his wife had disappeared. He stood up and looked out the window only to find that Shikodi and Dai Lina had boarded the carriage, and they were going to visit the city. Henry smiled, turned around and began to put on his own clothes, simply brushed his teeth, washed his face, and came to the living room on the first floor.

The housekeeper quickly greeted him and handed over a note. "Count, Robert sent someone to deliver this this morning. The person who delivered the letter asked me to deliver it 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 infiltrated the sewer again, and is now under close surveillance." After reading it, he frowned. He didn't expect that the Arcane Brotherhood was still loyal. Now that it has formed an alliance with Waterdeep City, there is no need to be too afraid of their direct attack. It's time to give this crazy organization a little color.

Making up his mind, Henry burned the note to ashes. "I have something to go out. If you don't come back in the afternoon, you don't have to wait for me to eat. If anyone asks, just say that I am doing some chores."

The butler bowed. "No problem Earl, so you don't want to eat breakfast?"

"Don't eat, this matter is more urgent, I need to go there quickly." Said Henry walked out of the gate and flew up, and soon came to the gate of Robert's underground union.

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

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

When the thief heard Henry's voice, he immediately recognized that it was the mage who had been here last time. He took the note and nodded. "Please wait a moment, I'll go in and report." After speaking, he turned around and entered the warehouse.

Robert is in the basement personally training the dark elf slaves he purchased yesterday. Since most of them have some stealth and stealing skills, it doesn't take too much effort to train them. What he cares about now is the obedience of these guys. After all, the reputation of the dark elves is notorious, and they may stab them in the back at any critical moment.

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

A smile crossed the deputy's face. "Boss, don't worry. I will train these guys well, they can't do anything here yet."

Robert nodded, turned and left 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 a group of people into the sewer again, and the number was much larger than last time. And I found that some of them are not low-level."

"Talk about the specific situation. Now I need to know their number, occupation, race and specific combat capabilities."

The young leader of the thieves took out a map of the sewers from his pocket, with some symbols densely marked on it. He pointed to the left side of the map. "These people are all gathered on the west side of the sewer. There are about forty people. Among them is a relatively high-level mage who should be their leader, and there are about ten apprentices. The rest are basically fighters and thieves. Among them, there are two ratmen who want to infect the residents of the city at night, and I have sent people to follow them and kill them. But according to the investigation, they should also carry a few golems."

Henry took a breath, and the Arcane Brotherhood was willing to spend their money. The combination of mage and golem gave him a bit of a headache, and it seemed that he couldn't act immediately yet. He needs to gather the strength in his hands, and then deal a devastating blow to these guys. He nodded to Robert. "Very good, now continue to closely monitor their actions. If you find that the lycanthropes want to infect the virus, kill me directly. Don't act rashly for others, I need to prepare." (To be continued.)
