Broad World

After the lord voted, everyone unanimously approved the proposal to hire Henry and his party, and the Kelben couple went to the council for further negotiations. After lunch time, the couple came to the door of Hawke's house. Laila saw Ares at the door playing with his tail biting. She laughed and said to her husband, "Haha! It's so interesting to see that brown bear." , but its behavior looks a little silly."

Kelben stroked his beard and smiled. "This must be the animal companion of the lord, but it does look very joyous." After speaking, the two started to move forward, Ares stopped the game and stood up to stare at the two vigilantly. Let out a low growl to warn the Kelben couple not to approach. The instinct of animals made Ares feel the danger.

Kelben comforted the somewhat irritable brown bear. "Don't be afraid of the big guys, we have no hostility. Now let me go and knock on the door."

Henry heard Ares' low growl in the living room, and he walked out immediately. As soon as he went out, he saw Lila's iconic silver hair, and a man holding a black cane was stuck beside her. He immediately realized who the two people in front of him were. Henry tidied up his clothes and walked over to stroke Ares to calm him down, then saluted the two of them. "Welcome, Master Kelben, and of course your beautiful Lady Laila."

Kelben looked at Henry and resumed his usual serious expression. "Earl Henry, I'm here to discuss something with you on behalf of the council. The situation is a bit critical now, let's go in and talk." Henry was stunned for a while, although he knew that Kelben was one of the lords of Waterdeep City, But it never occurred to him that he would be the negotiating representative. You must know that this legendary mage is notoriously serious, and he is known for keeping secrets. An adventurer once broke the news that he asked Kelben about the details of the mission after accepting the employment, but the archmage only said nine words: You know so much is enough. Henry couldn't imagine what it would be like to negotiate with this voter.

After inviting these two legendary mages into the living room, he couldn't wait to ask: "Excuse me, what happened, I don't think the council would invite you two out if there were no major events."

Lyra glanced at her husband. "You know the sneak attack last night. These dark elves connected to the city below the mountain, and they also trapped the black robe of Rast in the mage's tower. Now it's a mess down there. I'm afraid the monsters there are going to riot. We hope If I can hire you, I can go to the city below the mountain to rescue him, otherwise Waterdeep City will soon face a steady stream of attacks."

Hearing the news, Henry frowned tightly, this matter was too dangerous. Not to mention the huge number and variety of monsters there, the dark elves' army alone is enough to kill him several times. Moreover, the spirit of the mad mage has not been very normal in the underground, if he attacks himself indiscriminately at that time, he will die. Although he really wanted to form an alliance with Waterdeep City, if he wanted to use himself as cannon fodder, forget it.

Thinking of this, Henry raised his head with a serious expression and said to Lila, "I'm sorry Ma'am, I'm not capable enough to deal with this matter. The city under the mountain is too dangerous for me, so I can't agree to this request."

After hearing Henry's refusal, Lila turned to look at her husband, and Kelben thought for a while with his head down. "Please don't refuse in a hurry. We will provide you with some necessary support for this operation. If this mission is successful, as long as you promise not to become a member of the evil camp, the following spells from the Legend of Lila and I will permanently grant you Open. And Waterdeep will ally itself with your domain."

Hearing Kelben's promise Henry was a little excited, he knew what Kelben's magic warehouse meant. As one of the richest and most magic masters in the mainland, he possesses almost all spells below legend. Although this operation is very dangerous, wealth and wealth are in danger. After secretly making up his mind, he raised his head and asked: "Master, your proposal is very powerful. May I ask what your support for this operation includes?"

Kelben nodded. "Of course, it includes a scroll that can break the magic seal. At that time, you only need to activate it in front of the mage tower in Helast's black robe, and the entire magic shield clothed by the dark elves will disappear. There are also some transformations for camouflage The ring, you only need to wear it to turn into any human creature. This will help you sneak into the dark elves' territory. Finally, you can go to my warehouse and pick two items to take away."

Henry thought for a while and asked the last question. "There is still one biggest problem that has not been resolved, and that is how to ensure that I will not be attacked after the operation is successful. You must know that this is a legendary mage. If he wants to make a move, I have no room to resist."

Kelben sighed. "To be honest, I don't have any good solutions. How about I give you a teleportation badge. If you find that he has attacking intentions, you can activate this. It will summon all creatures within fifteen meters around you to my mage tower Before. Hailast was very sensible when he was on the ground, and we will negotiate with him in person."

After getting some security guarantees, Henry took over the task. Kelben took out a magic scroll and five transformation rings, and told Henry to go to his mage tower tomorrow morning to pick two magic items. He then teleported out of Hawk's house with Lila. Henry called all his subordinates out to discuss it, and finally decided who to act together. There are only half-orc warrior Vaughan and mage Debra, and Ares has no way to carry it. Its bulky body will be easily found after it reaches the ground.

After distributing the rings to the two, Henry said to Hawke: "Sir, we are going on a dangerous journey now, and Waterdeep City is not safe now. Get rid of the goods on the ship as soon as possible, and bring Juliet, Mia and Ares leaves the city."

Hawk looked at Henry worriedly. "Count, there is no need for you to take risks. Our territory is already rich enough. If we need allies, we can go to Amn. I believe they will not refuse you."

Henry smiled. "I'm not just here for the alliance, but more importantly, if I complete this mission, the door to magic will be completely opened to me in the future. In order to obtain stronger power in the future, it is worth taking some risks now."

Hawk saw that Henry had made up his mind and stopped dissuading him. He straightened his clothes, stood up and bowed solemnly and asked, "Then I wish you a smooth journey. I will help you deal with the matter of the territory, please." Don't worry. How should I answer if your family asks?"

Henry touched his chin. "Just say that I am discussing the details of the alliance in Deep Water City, and don't tell Shikodi and my mother the details."

The old captain sighed. "Okay, I'll keep it a secret from them for the time being, but please return as soon as possible, this kind of thing can't be kept secret for long."

After dealing with the matter of the territory, Henry turned around and said to Debra, who was sorting out the magic items, "How does it feel to be going to the city under the mountain, are you nervous?"

The mage looked up at him. "It's similar to the feeling I just joined the Arcane Brotherhood. The surroundings are full of danger and hostility, and I may die at any time. But I'm used to it. Only such an environment can hone a strong will." Seeing Debra's understatement Having said this, Henry no longer worried about her condition. Obviously this woman has learned how to protect herself in a dangerous environment, and to regulate her emotions at any time.

The half-orc warrior Vaughn was cleaning his armor. This was the first time Henry saw him maintaining his armor. Patting him on the shoulder Henry said, "Are you nervous?"

Vaughan glanced in surprise and said, "Is it that obvious? I think I'm doing pretty well."

Henry sighed and said to him, "I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I saw you oiling your armor. Only those who are nervous will subconsciously do things that they wouldn't do at all."

Vaughan dropped the armor in his hand and sat down on the chair. He touched the scar on his arm. "Very nervous indeed. I've heard of the fame of Downhill City when I was wandering in the North. Elminster said: It's the place where the most famous adventurers are famous, and the greatest heroes that people know The mound. Thousands of adventurers die in it every year, and I'm not sure I'll make it out alive."

Henry looked at the orc warrior, his glasses were full of uneasiness and worry. "Vaughn still remember what I said at the door yesterday, everything in this world can only be won by ourselves. Now we are about to go through a so-called adventure before, and if we succeed, we will get huge wealth, The reputation will also resound all over the west coast. Everyone who sees you will cheer for it, and no one will discriminate against you because of race in the future. You can get so much in one adventure, what are you still hesitating about! afraid of what!"

After hearing these words, the half-orc warrior opened his mouth and laughed. He patted his chest. "Boss, you're right. I'm a soldier, and those thoughts of looking forward and backward are not suitable for me. I'm fine now, thank you for your enlightenment." Henry patted Vaughn's arm with a smile and went upstairs rest.

The next morning, a group of people came to Kelben's mage tower. Lila brought Henry to the storage warehouse. She pointed to the huge warehouse and said, "You can choose two of all the magic items here at will. After you choose them, you can leave with your friends. In addition, this is a transmission badge for you. , activate it if danger arises."

Henry took the badge and said to her: "Don't worry, ma'am, I will complete this task."

Lyra pinned a lock of her hair behind her ear. "Don't be brave, return first if you encounter danger. I don't want to kill an innocent person because of this."

Henry smiled and put the badge next to his body. "I will do what I can. It's not my style to take risks." After speaking, he began to walk around the warehouse, carefully selecting every magic item.
