Broad World
Chapter 590 Jarlaxle (Part 1)
Time passed quickly, and two days passed in a flash, but there was still no news of Aberdell and his party entering the city. Maybe they were delayed because of some things, maybe the village of the underground gnomes is really hard to find, in short, there is still no news after a week after arriving underground, if it wasn't for the prophecy magic that showed that these guys are still alive, Henry couldn't help but send someone there Do a search.
In the past few days, he calmed down and trained every human slave strictly, and at the same time had an in-depth discussion with his eldest daughter Liroya. This ambitious woman was frightened to death by her younger brother Istar's words, and she was relieved until the other party led the family soldiers to the surface entrance.
Now the entire city of Ust-Nassa has become empty, more than 60% of the dark elf fighters have been transferred, leaving only a few soldiers in charge of staying behind, and even the patrol team has been reduced. Many civilians picked up their swords and set off with the large army, intending to pick up some bargains on the battlefield. For a while, there was a fanatical atmosphere of war everywhere.
But none of this has much to do with Henry. The first thing he did when he woke up and opened his eyes was to go around the stalagmite near the door of the Geralt family as usual to see if there was a mark left by Antleb. This is the contact method established between the two. Although it is not very hidden, it is better than simplicity. Even if it is discovered, nothing can be found out. Soon, he found a special symbol on the dark side of the penultimate stalagmite, with a thin dagger carved beside it. This is a specific code word, which means that he has established a line with the "Dayet Independent Mercenary Group", or he has directly contacted Jarlaxle. In short, this dangerous man is finally willing to come out and talk. That's good news.
Henry looked around very carefully. After confirming that no one is following. Immediately pulled up the hood, like a shadow, disappeared in the darkness in the blink of an eye. Ten minutes later, he quietly came to the meeting point and knocked on the door a few times in a unique rhythm.
"Who is it?" a hoarse voice asked.
"It's me, open the door." Henry said as he took off his hood, allowing the other party to see his face through the gap.
"Damn it, you're finally here. People from the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group arrived last night. They've always been mysterious, which made me very nervous." Antleb opened the door while speaking. His complexion didn't look very good, and it seemed that he was tossed hard by the other party.
Henry dashed into the room and asked in a low voice, "Why, Jarlaxle came in person?"
"Yes, this bastard stayed up all night, sitting at the table with a weird smile on his face, and it looked like his scalp was tingling. In addition, the guy named Veshaqi who came with him also It’s not a good thing, and I’m not paying attention to it several times. It’s just extremely difficult...” Antleb began to grit his teeth and complain when he mentioned the people of the “Dayette Independent Mercenary Group”. If it wasn't for the prestige of the other party, he might have turned his face straight away.
Seeing the gloomy look of the leader of the dark elf team, Henry couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. He knew very well that it was impossible for Antleb to get any advantage in the confrontation with Jarlaxle. After all, there was too much difference between the two in terms of personal strength and vision. The former's ability can only be regarded as good, while the latter can rely on superb means to make a lot of money in the battles of various families, and almost never misses.
To be honest, if given a choice, Henry would never join forces with someone like Jarlaxle, because he has a common problem unique to the chaotic camp, that is, he is too arbitrary and moody. In seconds, he drew his sword and faced each other.
Such a person is definitely not a qualified ally, at most they can only use each other, and then they will part ways immediately, because who knows when such a guy will have a whim, and then he will directly sell his ally. On the one hand, he has a lot of criminal records.
Walking through a dark staircase, the two came to the basement deep inside the house. As soon as the door was opened, the first thing I saw was a man dressed like a peacock. That's right, it's a peacock. Even for a lady who likes to dress up the most, this outfit can definitely be called gorgeous.
A wide-brimmed hat decorated with the huge feathers of the Trima bird was worn on the head, and a shimmering cloak was worn on the head. At first glance, it even gave the eyes some illusions. A sleeveless tank top, the eight muscular muscles of the abdomen are exposed, countless necklaces, rings, bracelets and anklets dangle from the neck, wrists and ankles, and one of the eyes wears the iconic blindfold.
Such a strange dress, I am afraid that there is no second one in the entire Faerun continent, but Henry can tell at a glance that more than half of these things are magic items, especially the unique craftsmanship of the eye mask, which is undoubtedly Pretty high-end stuff.
He almost completely believed what Drizzt said now, regardless of Jarlaxle's martial skills, this magic equipment alone is enough to make a mage around the twelfth level scramble, let alone the melee profession, it is estimated that even No chance of getting close.
"Aha, welcome, my dear Brother Antleb. This must be the big man you mentioned. It's a pleasure to meet you." The leader of the "Dayette Independent Mercenary Group" stood up and walked. A very exaggerated hat-off ceremony. His eyes were narrowed, and his smile looked very fake.
Antleb sighed helplessly, pointed to Henry beside him and introduced: "This is the person who wants to talk to you. My task has been completed. You two talk slowly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to leave the basement, feeling as if he was avoiding disgusting things like flies, mosquitoes or toads.
Jarlaxle shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then turned his head to look at Henry and asked, "Are you looking for me?"
"Yes, I want to talk to you about the Geralt family." Henry made no secret of his purpose. He noticed that there was an unremarkable guy standing in the corner of the basement, it should be the Vishaki mentioned just now.
Upon hearing Geralt's three words, Jarlaxle shook his head without hesitation: "No. No. No. I don't think there is much to talk about. You may not know that Madam Xingdela With our help, we eradicated the Kirisi family, but after the event was completed, they did not pay a penny, and even mocked the "Dayet Independent Mercenary Group" in front of everyone. This is an unforgivable behavior , she has to pay for it."
Seeing the direct rejection of Fang without hesitation, Henry sat down with a chuckle: "I think you have misunderstood what it means. I don't intend to stop your revenge against the Geralt family, but I plan to join it."
"Oh? Can I ask why? As far as I know, you just became the chief martial artist of the Geralt family a few days ago. Could it be that you got bored so quickly?" When he said this. An amber ring on Jarlaxle's hand glowed faintly, as if an unknown spell had been activated on it.
This old and cunning guy is obviously difficult to deal with, and his vigilance is simply higher than that of a rabbit. He even quietly activated the detection of lies during the conversation. Once he said something that should not be said, he would be noticed and used immediately. It is shameless until no offline.
But Henry just glanced at it, and immediately noticed this little trick, and then smiled playfully and asked: "If I said that my plan is to completely destroy this city, would you believe it?"…
"Destroy the city of Uster Natha? This joke is not funny. This is the first city of the dark elves, and its strength is considered top-notch among many cities. Even powerful species such as mind flayers and beholders dare not come Looking for trouble. I think it’s best to change the subject now, or I’ll wonder if I’m mentally out of order. How dare I sit here and listen to such crazy remarks.” After speaking, Jarlaxle pretended to be calm and picked up his cup to drink. Take a sip of water.
But as long as you observe carefully, you will find that the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and one leg was shaking slightly, obviously frightened by the words just now.
"Crazy? Maybe. But I'm telling the truth, I believe the spell just now should be enough to prove it. How about it, are you interested in cooperating with me, and I guarantee that you can get back more than ten times the reward. As for the issue of strength, don't worry , now you can see it with your own eyes..."
As soon as the words fell, Henry immediately released the unique primitive magic power unique to the legendary mage, and immediately wrapped the entire basement so tightly that not even a fly could escape. The nearby magic nets were all distorted, and teleportation magic also couldn't work.
His eyes finally showed a trace of killing intent, and then asked in a cold voice: "How, is this strength enough?"
Like a frightened cat, Jarlaxle quickly jumped up from his seat, trying to activate a magic item on his body, but unfortunately, he failed. At this time, he finally panicked, kneeling on one knee without hesitation, with a flattering smile on his face: "Of course! Enough! Enough! It's so powerful! Wow, amazing, let these Put away the terrible energy, let's talk about specific cooperation plans."
"Sorry, these interferences will not be removed until we reach an agreement. You must know that you have a lot of criminal records, so I must be careful. This operation is very important, and there must be no accidents." After finishing speaking Henry took out a parchment full of terms and put it on the table. He had already prepared this magic contract, once signed, don't even think about making any small moves.
"Hey, buddy, those are all slanders. Our Dayet Independent Mercenary Group has always had a good reputation. Over the years, no customer has ever complained." After speaking, Jarlaxle picked up the contract and began to look at it word by word. He reads very carefully, and even double-checks a single punctuation mark. It seems that he is an expert in this area.
Hearing this dangerous man's sophistry, Henry showed a sneer on his face: "Ha, all the customers who have been betrayed by you are dead, of course there will be no complaints. Don't think I don't know about your little tricks, If no deal is reached today, then I guarantee that no one will come out of this room alive."
