Broad World

After a few hours of short rest, Henry and his party went on the road again. At this time, two more members were added to the team, namely Robert and Allen. They didn't even eat breakfast. Facing the newly bright sky, they hurriedly left the Wood Elf's camp and headed north along the avenue towards Askatla.

According to Aimeng's idea, he originally planned to return by taking the giant dragon, which is not only safe and fast, but also very attractive. But Henry wanted to see if he could meet Mithril Five Heroes on the road like in the game, and invite him to join the team besieging Joan Irenicus, so the girl's idea was completely lost. He pouted for hours, his eyes full of resentment.

Apodel gloated and joked: "Hey, buddy, you have annoyed our naughty bag. Be careful with your wallet and belongings, because they may disappear inexplicably at any time."

"If I were you, I would pay more attention to Jaciira. As a man, I am really disappointed in your progress." Henry replied without showing any weakness.

Obviously, this sentence is now the Achilles heel of the son of Baal, and he choked so hard that he almost couldn't even catch his breath. As the other party involved, Jasila blushed and immediately tensed up. He took off his hood and hid all his expressions, as if he would kill him and deny it.

Just when Apodell was about to speak back, Robert, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his left hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then turned his ear to carefully listen to the sound from the woods. It didn't take long for everyone to hear it Faint quarrels.

"I told you, Bruno. This road has already been traveled, are you sure you know where to go? I always feel like we keep going in circles in the same place."

"Come on, elf. I may be old, but my memory hasn't begun to fail! If Wulfgar hadn't knocked it out of my hand. We wouldn't have to search here at all!"

"Damn it, it's a frame-up, Bruno. I didn't touch your hammer!"

"No, it's you, boy! When you were running around in the fight, and I was focused on the stinking troll, and then I was knocked down by you. Yes, You did it, I remember it clearly."

"Uh...don't get excited. We'll find it, but what Drizzt is curious about..."

"He wondered if my head was still awake, Katie-brie, you don't need to explain it, girl. I can tell you for sure, my head is fine, very clear, and I will find it immediately That lost hammer! I will never leave it to those stinking goblins!"

"Well... maybe then, dear Bruno. Perhaps your lovely little hammer is in the hands of some hobgoblin."

"Glutton, you dare to criticize my hammer one more time. After you find it, you will be the first person to be beaten flat by it."

...

Hearing these slightly familiar voices, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly. He smiled and said to his teammates: "It seems that we have met acquaintances. Believe me, this meeting will be very interesting."

As soon as the words fell, five figures emerged from the woods ahead. The leader among them was Drizzt, the famous ranger of the Northland, wearing mithril chain mail and dark skin. Behind him followed a tall, blond barbarian, who was undoubtedly Wulfgar, carrying a warhammer that shone with a powerful aura of magic.

Followed by two short figures, the bearded one was the dwarf Bruno. And the halfling who always walks dodgy must be the thief Regis, and the last human woman with long brown hair is the only shooter in the team—Katie-brie.

When the Mithril Five found Henry, they immediately showed a surprised expression, especially Bruno, the dwarf who likes to chatter, rubbed his eyes vigorously and said to himself: "Gods! That guy Is it Henry? He looks exactly the same as he did ten years ago, as if he hasn't grown up at all!"

"No, old man, I saw him around Baldur's Gate a few months ago. It wasn't like this at that time." Drizzt denied this statement in a low voice. He could clearly remember that near the Wolf Man Fortress, Henry looked like he was in his twenties. Although he still looked young, there was definitely a clear gap between him and him now.

Wulfgar the Barbarian stroked his chin. He said in a very affirmative tone: "Maybe he used some spells, anyway, a mage like him always likes to do some weird things. Just like those members of the Harbell family."

"Just ask him directly, anyway, sooner or later we have to go to say hello. Don't be dumbfounded, be more enthusiastic, after all, he is also our friend, isn't he?" Regis shrugged indifferently after finishing speaking. Shoulder.

"Well, I think what the glutton said makes sense, and we've been muttering here for a long time, it's really a bit impolite." As he said that, Drizzt first opened his upper arms to greet Henry and gave Henry a warm hug. "Nice to see you again, my friend. But I haven't seen you for a few months, and you seem to have changed a bit."

Henry smiled helplessly and explained: "No way, too many things have happened during this time, maybe you have heard some rumors that a powerful and evil mage Joan Irenicus is about to destroy Sodannisla, the city of elves located in the depths of the Virdas forest. The current appearance is thanks to him, it is an extremely powerful curse of time, which keeps my body growing backwards, unless I find a way to break it , otherwise it will degenerate into a baby in a few years."

"Oh...Melika (Goddess of the Forest and the Ranger), bless you, this is not good news." Drizzt frowned subconsciously. "I just heard that there is an army of monsters heading south in the Broken Tooth Mountains. I plan to investigate what's going on, but now it seems that I have found the mastermind behind it."

"Ha! I knew that the person who could do such a thing must be an evil wizard, just like that tyrant Akar Kessell who wanted to rule Ten Towns." Wulfgar's tone was full of contempt and disdain, fully showing that Out of his distaste for magic and its users.

Bruno's reaction was similar. He spat hard and shouted loudly: "Well said, boy. The best way for a guy like him is to smash his head so he can't think about those evil things anymore." It's planned."

I heard the two talking more and more outrageous. Henry couldn't help but shook his head slightly: "No, no, no, the enemy this time is completely different from the idiot like Akar Kessell who is controlled by the magic crystal shard. Maybe you have tried your best to live countless adventures and killed Bai Dragons, black dragons, giants, snow monsters, trolls, and even defeated a lesser demon lord Errtu, but I can inform you in charge that all of them together are not as dangerous as the enemy this time."

"Tell me. Are you exaggerating?" Katie-brie asked back with staring eyes. Evidently, she did not believe that any enemy could be more dangerous than the dragon and Errtu.

"On the contrary, Joan Irenicas may have become one of the most powerful individuals in the entire main plane. If I had to use one word to describe it, then I would consider him a god." After speaking, Henry's face suddenly became very serious.

Although it is difficult for him to determine the current specific strength of this legendary mage, judging from the frantic extraction of the tree of life at the end of the game, it is definitely not much worse than a weaker divine power. Coupled with the terrifying power of being a legendary mage, it is definitely more difficult to deal with than a simple incarnation of a god.

Drizzt, who has lived in the Underdark for many years, knows a lot, and immediately asked nervously, "Are you sure?"

Henry nodded without hesitation: "I'm sure. He has successfully taken away the killing divinity belonging to Apodel, and if he absorbs the power of the tree of life in the elf city, he will become a powerful true god in an instant , and at the same time, the entire Virdas Forest may be destroyed together. Whether as a friend or as a druid. I will never allow this to happen."

"Then how about counting me in? As a ranger who believes in the goddess Melikai, I also can't sit back and watch such villains act recklessly." Drizzt smiled slightly, raised his head and introduced himself.

"Hey! Elf, you forgot about us." Bruno stood aside and protested rather dissatisfied.

Wulfgar pounded his chest and growled loudly, "Yes, my hammer thirsts for the blood of evil mages! A warrior of Tempus never fears battle!"

Looking at the proud faces of his friends behind him, Drizzt turned around and spread his hands at Henry: "Well, it seems that you will add five people to your team at once."

"Welcome, it's a great honor to fight side by side with you again." Henry said with a smile on his face and bowed.

With these few warriors with high martial arts skills. It will be much easier to deal with magic immune enemies such as golems and rosa. Especially Wulfgar's magic war hammer, the power of throwing it is absolutely extraordinary. Ordinary stone golems may fall apart after a few hits.

After a brief introduction, the two teams quickly became acquainted. It was the first time that Drizzt saw his compatriots who were not evil on the surface, and it didn't take long before he chatted with Solaufin, constantly teaching the things that need to be paid attention to in order to survive in the human world. He looked so happy, maybe because he finally found a dark elf who was very similar to himself, or maybe he saw something called hope.

Ten minutes later. The famous drow ranger finally finished his conversation, came to Henry again, and said in a very low voice: "Thank you, Solaufin, for giving me hope for my fellow citizens again. Dark elves are not inherently evil, Rose is forcing them to do it."

"You're welcome. I promise you will see more and more dark elves who are not evil in the future." Henry glanced at Viconia and Velva who were sitting on the ground resting silently. They have changed a lot recently, especially the young Velva. Basically, no bad habits have been contaminated. I believe that as long as the environment is changed, more than 60% of the dark elves will change.

"By the way, what is your plan? To deal with such a powerful enemy, we alone are definitely not enough." Drizzt finally finished his emotion and began to ask about serious matters.

Henry nodded lightly and replied: "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything. You take Bruno and the others to the wood elf camp in the south to stay for a few days, and I will rush there when I get back the Lantern Horse Launch the final counterattack..." (to be continued~^~)
