Broad World

Nasikei is located at the northernmost tip of Amn, very close to the border with Baldur's Gate. This is an important mining town, and more than half of the town's residents are miners. Henry rode a horse and drove for several days and finally came to Nasikai. Along the way, he encountered many organized hobgoblins and bandits, and it seemed that Sarevok had already started his war plan.

Henry led the horse across a stone arch bridge, and after a short walk, he saw the Nasika Hotel on the side of the road. He tied the horse at the door and went straight to the hall inside. Walking to the bar, he threw a few gold coins to the boss and asked, "I want to know, has a mage wearing a red robe passed by recently?"

The boss wiped the gold coins with a smile on his face, and put them in his pocket. "You're asking the right question. This is the only hotel in the whole town. Any stranger passing by can't escape my eyes. But unfortunately, I haven't seen the mage for more than a year."

"Then have you seen a Rosiman witch and a warrior wearing a hamster?" Henry continued to ask after thinking for a while. Because if he remembered correctly, Edwin came to this town after hunting witches.

The boss thought for a while, then shook his head. "I definitely haven't seen it before. If this strange combination appears, I will never forget it."

"Thank you, now please give me the best guest room. Hire a few more people to watch at the entrance of the entire town. If you send a report immediately, I will pay a hundred gold coins as a reward." Henry took out a small bag of gold coins and put them on the table.

"Haha, this is really good business. Don't worry, I will send a few guys to watch during the day, so that no one will be missed." The innkeeper took out a key from under the table. "Please go inside, the last one is your guest room. If you need anything, please call at any time."

Henry nodded slightly, grabbed the key and went back to the room to rest. In order not to miss the time, he didn't sleep well these days. For the next two months, he spent the day at the Hiccup Dragon Bar asking for news, and returned to the Nasika Hotel to rest at night. Such days continued until the morning of April 12th. The iron mines here have already begun to have problems, and there are a lot of rumors that Amn may go to war with Baldur's Gate.

On this day, Henry got up as usual, and after washing up, he found a table in the lobby and started to have breakfast. Suddenly the door was pushed open forcefully, and a man and a woman walked in. The man had a sinister face and a bald head. The woman has long black hair, her naked nose bridge, small cherry mouth and dark skin, making people instantly feel a kind of exotic style. It was obvious from the way he was dressed that this was a mage.

The corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly. The bald man should be the ranger Minsk, and the woman is the witch Dinahei he is responsible for protecting. Now that these two people have appeared, Edwin who is following them should arrive soon.

The two travelers from the Far East didn't stay for long. They stayed in the hotel for two days before continuing to head west. It won't be long before the two of them will be attacked by gnolls, Dynahei will be captured and Minsk will return to the town for help.

On the third day after they left, Edwin finally arrived. The gloomy-faced red-robed mage attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered. Henry lowered his head and ate slowly. He had already received the news and prepared for this guy the first time he entered Nasikai.

Edwin came to the bar and dropped a gold coin and asked the boss: "Have you seen a dark-skinned witch passing by these few days?"

"Of course, there seems to be a soldier with a shaved head accompanying him. That guy looks extremely fierce, and they only stayed here for two days." The hotel owner glanced at Henry who was eating, and he already felt that something was wrong about this.

"Damn you biao! You run fast enough." The red-robed mage cursed in a low voice. "Do you know where their destination is?" He continued to ask.

The innkeeper shook his head. "I don't know, but when the two left, they took the west exit of the town."

"What a stupid monkey! It's no use at all!" Edwin swore again, turned around and left the hotel.

Henry walked to the counter without panic, settled all the rent for this period of time, and then followed the red-robed mage from a distance. As soon as he went out, he blessed himself with the "invisibility technique", planning to wait until it got darker before doing it. After all, this guy is likely to be a teammate in the future, so it's best not to let him find out that he did it by himself.

After driving for several hours, the sky quickly darkened. Edwin lit a bonfire with some random wood, and it seemed that he planned to camp here. Henry walked around carefully, and then hit him hard on the back of the head with the staff in his hand. There was only a muffled "bang", and the red-robed mage fell to the ground.

With excitement, Henry took the necklace off Edwin's neck. He carefully checked the bruises of the red-robed mage, and quickly left the crime scene after finding that there was nothing serious. When he came to a place where no one was around, he carefully checked the entire necklace, and found that all the magic fluctuations came from this crystal clear gem.

Henry carefully pried it off, and then cast a "discernment technique". Soon specific information came to mind.

Tempered Orb:

This is a family heirloom that Edwin inherited from birth, and its origin is unknown. However, the powerful magical energy above can benefit a mage or a warlock a lot.

special power:

Inlaid on any item, you can get the special effect of adding two spell slots from level 1 to level 9.

Without any hesitation, Henry took out the mithril ring he had already prepared, and embedded this gem in it. In order to prevent being recognized by Edwin in the future, he specially plated a thick layer of metal on the surface of the gemstone. Putting this hideously ugly ring on his finger, he immediately felt that all his spell slots had increased by two.

The large increase in spell slots made Henry happy for a while. Although there are quite a few magic items on him, it is the first time he has obtained such a powerful magic item. After calming down his excitement, he began to re-memorize the magic and adjust the corresponding tactics. After a night of rest, I started to carry it on my back. Counting the time, the plot will start in less than two weeks.

Along the wilderness path, Henry walked in the direction of Lion Avenue unhurriedly. He planned to wait there for a few days in the wild, and deliver a steaming meal when the two rookies needed to be alone and helpless the most. I believe they will be very happy to join them, and then they will start the adventure together smoothly. When we arrived at Lion Avenue, it was already the last day of April. He pitched a tent beside the road, quietly waiting for Aberdell and Imoen to appear.

At the same time, Aberdell also encountered a lot of trouble in Candlekeep. His "adoptive father" has been very anxious recently and lost his temper more and more often. Many people now looked at him with strange eyes, as if they had turned into monsters overnight.

Nervous Apodel lay on the bed and thought for a while, then he purred. It seemed that thinking about this kind of thing was not suitable for him. Ge Lian stood at the window, glanced at the heartless adopted son and sighed. He knew that the prophecy of the wise Arlando was about to be fulfilled. The throne of the God of Slaughter has been vacant for too long, and his descendants who stayed in the mortal world are about to start a bloody battle, because the gods are constantly calling them.

The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, Ge Lian gave his adopted son more than a hundred gold coins. "Apodel, use the money to buy some weapons and equipment, and say goodbye to your friends by the way. I will take you out of here today, and gather at the gate of the castle after shopping. Remember! Don't drink, don't waste time!"

"Oh! My God, there is so much money." Aberdell took the money bag and sighed. "Don't worry, I'll fix the equipment problem soon, and I promise I won't get into trouble with drinking." After finishing speaking, he excitedly ran towards the Candle Castle Inn.

Ge Li'an looked at the back of his adopted son and said to himself: "What a heavy fate, I hope my decision is not wrong."

As soon as Aberdell entered the hotel door with "big money" in his arms, he yelled at Winthrop: "Hey, buddy! Bring me a beautiful leather armor and a two-handed sword. I'm leaving this place to go on an adventure soon. I believe it won't be long before all the bards in Baldur's Gate will begin to sing stories about my adventures."

"Aha! No problem! I'm going to pick out a sturdy leather armor and a shining sword for the great Apodel." As he said that, the fat boss went into the back warehouse, and he came out with two things after a while. "Look, the top-quality double-layer leather armor only costs seven gold coins, and the two-handed sword is also very strong and sharp, seventy-five gold coins."

Aberdell clearly has little business flair. I paid the full amount without even cutting the price. With the help of the boss, he put on the leather armor and waved the two-handed sword in his hand. "It feels really good. I'm leaving now, and there are still many people who need to say goodbye." He turned and walked outside the house.

Winthrop yelled at his back: "Good luck! Don't forget to promote the Candlekeep Inn when you become famous. This is where you grew up."

Apodel waved his hand without looking back, and walked towards the stable along the path outside the castle. He was going to say goodbye to Zhuoping at the barn, after all he and Imoen had to rely on this guy to cover up when they were mischievous. Just as he was passing by a house, he suddenly heard a voice inside.

Out of curiosity, Apodel broke in immediately. As soon as he entered the door, a black-haired man came over and asked: "Oh, good boy! I was the first to find you! Goliath is your guardian, right?" (To be continued.)
