Broad World

Apodell touched his face, and then looked at his hands. Finally, he stood up from the ground shaking the dust on his body and shouted at the statue of Baal: "Father! I will not bow to you! Look, I will completely defeat and conquer it."

Dai Nahei clapped her hands with a smile on her face. "Well said. I knew you would never give in to the nature in your blood. Only resistance is the only way out. Although you can gain great power by falling into evil, then you will not be yourself."

"Since everything is over, let's leave quickly. The negativity and bloody smell here make me sick." As he spoke, Jasila walked towards the entrance of the temple.

Apodel glanced at the mutilated corpse and sighed. He walked over to pick up Sarevok's two-handed sword, and then followed him out. While passing a corpse, Henry found a ring with strong magical fluctuations. He picked it up and did an identification, and soon got specific information.

The Strongest Guardian Ring: "The Gatekeeper's Mark"

Legend has it that this plain gold ring was a gift from Io to Heim for his steadfastness in his duties in troubled times. Helm then passed this gift on to his mortal followers.

Equipment capacity:

Form an invisible stance, greatly improving magic and physical resistance.

It is really a powerful magic ring. I am afraid that as long as it is equipped, most of the normal physical attacks will be bounced off by the stand, and the magic attacks will also be weakened. Henry directly threw the "Mark of the Gatekeeper" to Sandy who had been following behind her all the time. Although this sorceress sometimes liked to make her own decisions, her loyalty was beyond doubt.

The sorceress' eyes lit up when she got the ring. Quickly put it on the hand. She has very few magic items on her now. Except for a robe of an evil archmage, there is basically nothing. Because there are not enough materials at hand. Shandier couldn't make it at all. Now she was suddenly rewarded by the master, which made her a little ecstatic. Because it means that you have gained a certain degree of recognition.

Everyone returned to the Thieves Union in the city along the same route. Robert has completely taken over here and is cleaning up the dead bodies and blood in the house. Since all of Alates' men had been killed, he wisely turned to his former apprentice. Robert did not treat this former mentor badly either. After installing the necessary manpower, he still let this experienced guy take charge of the management.

As soon as he saw Henry and the others coming out of the underground tunnel, Robert immediately put down his work and ran over to ask, "Master, how is the situation down there? Do I need to send some people to explore the way. You must know that there are many traps in that maze."

Henry smiled and waved his hands. "No need. Sarevok is dead now, and the magic traps and monsters in the maze have been cleaned up. There is an underground island in the innermost part of the maze. You can use it if you like. I will leave it to you, and I will take these heroes to the celebration banquet."

"Don't worry, I will definitely run this place well. Besides, the things you asked have been done." As he spoke, Robert made a gesture of a bird flying towards him.

Henry immediately understood that he was saying that Anta Yindun's daughter had been abducted. He smiled and patted the shoulder of the leader of the thieves, then led Apodell and his party towards the Duke's mansion. Walking on the street, everyone found that the whole city had returned to calm. The elite soldiers from Angome Island are patrolling around, and they will run over to check if they find anything unusual.

Citizens kept a close eye on the developments through doors and windows. Henry ignored these curious ordinary people, and directly let a group of soldiers escort everyone to the Duke's mansion. The corpses and bloodstains here have been cleaned up. All the decorations and dishes have been changed.

The Duke of Silver Shield saw Henry's eyes lit up, and hurried over to give him a warm hug: "Welcome, my dear Earl. Oh, no. Now I should call you Your Excellency the Duke. Baldur's Gate will no longer need that weak parliament in the future. I believe that with our cooperation, this place will soon become a paradise. Another question, how is the son of Baal?"

Henry smiled and pushed Apodell to the front. "Salovok was killed by this hero as soon as he entered. And he exposed many conspiracies of the Iron Throne. I think some rewards should be given?"

Anta Yindun looked at Apodel with strange eyes. "My God, is this another son of Baal? It is exactly the same as what Alando said, and the sons of Baal will kill each other." His words caught the attention of others, and all eyes were focused on him.

"Of course, he will be rewarded generously, but it will have to wait until the celebration two days later. You must know that everything is a mess now, especially the Flame Fist mercenaries. Your Commander Corey is really vicious. After breaking through the fort, he killed all the high-level officials who participated in the rebellion. Didn't you see that the streets are full of your soldiers now? Because all the guards are locked up in the dungeon, waiting for you to come back and deal with it."

Henry waved to one of his mages, and when he came over, he ordered: "Go and tell Corey to let him release half of the ordinary guards to the Duke of Silver Shield as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll inform him now." The mage bowed and walked towards the headquarters of Flame Fist under the protection of two barbarian fighters.

Anta Yindun nodded to Henry in satisfaction. The original agreement was to divide the entire Baldur's Gate equally. Of course, Yanquan's well-trained soldiers also have to be half of each person, otherwise he would not be able to manage such a large area of ​​land well. After all, there are so many monsters around, God knows if they will be thrown out to ransack the village when he is weak.

Apodel feels very uncomfortable now, because everyone around him is looking at him with awe and disgust. For it was mentioned in the prophecy that wherever the Son of Baal goes he will bring war and death. Now he finally knew why Sarevok was so crazy, maybe he would go crazy after staying in this environment for a long time.

Jasila noticed Apodel's distress, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly. "Don't take it too seriously. These ordinary people don't understand what it means to be a child of God. They just fear all the power you have."

"But I saw fear in their eyes. Jasila, I should leave here and go to a place where no one knows me." Apodel rubbed his forehead and let out a wry smile.

Dai Nahei sighed slightly, then nodded. "That's good. Not only can you relax, but you can also travel around the world by the way. Tell me, where are you going to travel?"

Apodel considered for a while before making a decision. "Go to Amn in the south. I heard that it has the most prosperous business in the entire Faerun continent. After this trip is over, maybe the residents here will change their views."

"Although I don't like noisy cities, I will still travel with you. But you'd better say goodbye to Henry. He has helped us a lot during this adventure." As he spoke, Jasira pointed to Henry who was discussing matters with Anta Silver Shield.

Apodell plucked up the courage to walk over and interrupt the conversation between the two, and took Henry aside to express his plan. After the latter heard it, he nodded calmly. "I respect your choice. But it's best to be careful. I heard that the shadow thief in Amn has obtained your information and is planning to do some bad things."

"Haha, don't worry. It's just a group of thieves. Could it be that they are more difficult to deal with than Sarevok?" Apodel laughed indifferently.

Henry frowned. Perhaps it was this kind of arrogance that led to the subsequent miss and capture, because with the current strength of the Son of Baal, even a legendary thief might not be able to beat him. Thinking of this, he turned his head and glanced at the innocent Imoen. This girl was treated inhumanly in the dungeon, and he might try to help her avoid this disaster.

"Okay, but you must stay tonight. I will hold a banquet in the Earl's Mansion and do it for you."

Apodel laughed and patted his chest. "No problem, I must have a big meal tonight. Also, prepare some good wine, let's have a good drink."

Knowing that time was running out tonight, Henry hurriedly explained a few words and said goodbye to the Duke of Silver Shield. After taking everyone back to the Earl's Mansion, he immediately ordered the housekeeper to serve a sumptuous dinner according to the highest standard. The butler didn't dare to neglect, and immediately made all the servants in the mansion move. A truck drove quickly to the market to buy the needed fish, meat, vegetables, eggs and so on.

Henry separated the men and women of Aberdell and his party, and arranged them to take a bath in two bathrooms. On the other hand, he went into the study room and started to prepare the required materials. He was going to get everyone drunk at night, and then tattooed different magic marks on the bodies of Aimon, Khaled and Danahei.

With the efforts of four chefs, more than 200 delicious dishes were prepared in just two hours. The long tables in the restaurant are full, and fine wines from all over the world are placed in a mobile wine cabinet, and you can take whatever you want to drink. Seeing that everything was ready, Henry sent all the servants away.

Looking at these teammates who were stunned by the luxurious dinner in front of him, he smiled and raised a glass of juice. "Because I still have some business to attend to, I can't go with you. Here I wish you a smooth journey. Cheers to our friendship!"

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank. After drinking the first glass of wine, except for Dai Nahei who was able to maintain a polite eating mode, everyone else turned on a berserk state, grabbing it with their hands and stuffing it into their mouths. Looking at the joyous scene in front of him, Henry revealed a wry smile that was hard to detect. (to be continued..)
