Broad World

Since the last chat together, Henry and Barry have become good friends. The two of them often talk about their experiences and stories together, and tell about their adventures. After three days, the huge turtle shell on the deck was finally cleaned up. Henry cut it into small pieces according to the pattern on it, and put them into dimensional bags. He planned to use these things to make an activated armor to protect himself from physical attacks.

While Henry and his party were sailing on the sea, Shikodi in the lord's mansion of Bruwent City turned around in a hurry. Four days had passed since the attack at sea, and she had not seen a trace of her husband. The only thing that is certain now is that they are all still alive. This is the result of Debra's divination with a prophecy spell.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine. Didn't the Mage Tower give the result of the divination, sit down and calm down, I believe there will be definite news soon." Lily walked over and took Shikodi's hand, and pushed her onto the chair.

Shikodi scratched her hair restlessly. "You weren't there at the time, so you didn't see how terrifying that huge monster was. It was bigger than our boat, and I couldn't imagine what would happen to people if they fell into the sea." Hearing her words, Lily also sighed, sat on a chair and began to think wildly.

After a while, the guard at the door ran in with a note. "Ma'am, the Mage Tower just sent someone to send the latest news about the Earl."

Shikodi stood up abruptly and ran over to grab it. She was eager to see the news of her husband's safety. Opening the note, it said: "I just received a message from the earl using magic. The group of them has been rescued safely and is on their way to Silvermoon City." After reading it, Shikodi relaxed all over her body. Sitting directly on the ground.

The butler hurried forward to help her up. With a worried face, he asked, "Ma'am. You are fine, should I call you a priest or a druid?"

Shi Kodi smiled, a smile appeared on his haggard face. "I finally got the news that they are safe, and I can go to sleep well." After speaking, she passed out.

Lily glanced at the contents of the note and breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was more confident in her son, she was relieved a lot after getting the exact news. Soon the butler asked the maid to carry the drowsy Countess back to the bedroom, and Henry's mother also returned to her room to get a good sleep. After several days of fear, the Lord's Mansion regained its calm.

After sailing at sea for more than ten days. Captain Barry commanded the sailors to drive the boat into the Dessain River. The half-orc warrior looked at Waterdeep City, which was gradually going away, and felt a little dazed for a while. He suddenly felt that he had been away from home for too long, and it seemed that he had never been back since he was an adult.

Henry noticed Vaughn's strangeness and walked over to ask: "Are you okay, I seemed to see you in a daze just now."

The half-orc warrior laughed at himself. "Boss, I want to ask you for leave when I come back. I don't know what happened recently. There is always a voice in my heart calling me to go back."

"No problem, I just want to go to Icewind Dale to take a look. I heard that the ten towns there are very special." Hearing that he was going to the extreme north, Henry immediately became interested. It can be said that it is one of the places he most wants to go.

"Speciality? That's right! The biggest characteristic of Ten Towns is that whoever has the biggest fist can listen to them. In this extremely harsh environment, except for Bryn Shande, almost everyone lives by fishing. Every year because of the fishing ground, there will be several large-scale fights, and the dead will be thrown into the lake to feed the fish." The half-orc warrior looked into the distance and told the cruel reality of the extreme north.

His words aroused Amy's curiosity, and the girl came over and asked, "If that place is really that bad, why didn't those people flee to the south?"

Vaughan was amused by her question, and he restructured his language to answer: "The people gathered there are murderers, thieves, barbarians, robbers, and guys like me who are not welcome in human society. Most of these people have been wanted, and it is difficult to live without Ten Towns."

Amy's eyebrows were already in a mess, and she grabbed her hair with one hand and pulled it out one by one. She really couldn't understand how such a group of people built a town and maintained local order.

Henry smiled and stopped the hand that was pulling the hair. "If you pull your hair again, you will lose it. The reason is very simple. As long as intelligent life gathers, a rule will naturally form. Maybe it is very rough and has many loopholes. But it cannot be denied that this is also order. Even the most chaotic demons in the multiverse abide by the unspoken rules that the weak obey the strong. As for cities and towns, human beings are too fragile compared to other species in this world. We must build high walls and hide behind them to feel safe. Especially in a wild place full of dangers like Icewind Valley, without sufficient protection, it is easy to be killed by other monsters .”

"Boss, you are right. Without Bryn Shander's leadership and strong city walls, Ten Towns would have been captured by barbarians and endless monsters." The half-orc warrior fully agreed with Henry.

After listening for a long time, Amy finally understood what was going on in Ten Towns. They were just a means for a group of fugitives to protect themselves.

The boat went all the way north along the river, passed through the golden fields and stone bridges quickly, and arrived at Yata Fortress in just three days. Henry stood on the boat and looked at the tall city walls and guards patrolling around. It seemed that the security situation here was very bad, otherwise he wouldn't be so vigilant in broad daylight. The boat slowly sailed into the pier of the river, and Henry bid farewell to the captain as soon as it landed.

"Thank you very much for your care along the way. We are now leaving for Silvermoon City, so we will bid farewell."

Barry patted Ares' muscular body and pointed to a dirt road in the distance. "Go straight along this road, and you will be able to reach Aylward in a few days. Then you can hire a small boat there, and you will be able to reach Silvermoon City in a day. Finally, I wish you a smooth journey."

Henry gave the captain a hug, and led the group towards the northeast. As soon as they stepped out of the pier, they were stopped by a team of guards. The captain in the lead said to them loudly: "Recently, there have been horrible robbers on the road leading to Aylward. We suspect that it is the ghosts of the giants on the Eternal Wasteland. You must know that three groups of caravans have been attacked this month. Except for some bloodstains, there is not even a single hair left. If there is no urgent matter, it is best not to take this road. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Hearing the news, Henry secretly sighed that his trip was really unlucky. First, I encountered a group of dragon turtles and sharks when I was on a boat, and then I encountered a road blocked by giant robbers. I really don't know if he offended the goddess of fortune before going out, otherwise this kind of frustrating thing will always haunt him recently. Counting the days, there are less than ten days before the Harvest Celebration, and there is no way to arrive early if you don't hurry up.

"It doesn't matter, we are all adventurers, and that big brown bear is my animal companion. I believe it can deal with these robbers, and maybe it can help you deal with them." Henry pointed to his companions behind him.

The captain looked at the strong half-orc warrior and the huge brown bear and nodded. As for Amy being automatically ignored, he didn't think this weak-looking girl could have any fighting power.

"Well, Yatta offered a reward of 5,000 gold coins. If you solve these robbers, remember to cut off their heads for the reward."

Just when Henry was about to reply, a woman in a long skirt came over and asked, "Are you going to Aylward City?"

"Yes, Ms. Marlene, these adventurers want to solve the robbers who have been making a fuss recently." The captain saluted and answered the woman's question.

Marlene came to Henry and smiled and asked, "Sir, are you willing to go with me? I would like to invite you to join the caravan and travel through the Eternal Wilderness."

Henry looked at this woman, about thirty years old, wearing a traditional blue dress. It seems that she should have some status, because the soldiers around her looked at her with admiration and awe. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he could agree to this request. After all, there are more people to take care of besides things. Even if ordinary mercenaries don't have much combat effectiveness, it is still no problem to attract the attention of the enemy.

"No problem, but I want to guide you on the size of your caravan."

Marlene took a peek at the strong half-orc warrior and replied with a smile: "Of course, the whole team has a total of 150 people, 100 buddies and 50 mercenaries. There are about 42 wagons of goods."

Vaughan felt the woman's gaze and gave her a suspicious look. Bamberke flew on his shoulder and was about to start singing a nasty song when Amy spotted it and rushed over to cover its mouth. Henry gave the parrot behind him a hard kick, and now he really regrets bringing such a troublemaker out.

"We are in a hurry now. I don't know when your caravan is going to leave?"

"My caravan has been ready for a long time. Look, they are all over there." After speaking, Marlene pointed to a long line of carriages next to the city gate in the distance.

Henry took a look at these mercenaries and found that their equipment was not bad, at least they were all wearing half body armor. Although the weapons are somewhat varied, they are not bad.

"Ma'am, if this is the case, let them start their journey, and try to get out of Yatta's sphere of influence today."

Marlene nodded, and waved her handkerchief towards the distance. A steward called these guys and mercenaries, and the scene looked a bit chaotic. It didn't take long for these people to start driving the carriage slowly. . )
