Broad World

The night in Waterdeep City was not peaceful. The elite sahuagin troops led by Jacques Houas rushed out of the sea from time to time, hitting the defense line established in the port area time and time again. But these have nothing to do with Henry. After a secret discussion, he returned to the garden hotel in the gate area of ​​Askatera with a bracelet that Laila had just made.

This is a one-time magic item. As long as it encounters Balagos "flying flame", the magic on it can be triggered, and the four voters of the goddess of magic will be teleported over immediately. At that time, they will join forces to cast a powerful legendary spell. If the plan goes well, the ancient red dragon will never leave alive.

As soon as Sandyer saw Henry appearing, she hurried over and reported what happened during the day. "Master, you are finally back. In the afternoon, someone from the Shadow Thieves Guild sent a message, saying that their boss wants to meet with you to discuss specific cooperation matters."

Henry sneered and waved his hand. "Hmph! Now I know I'm afraid. Let them hang out for a few days. I don't have the energy to wrestle with these local snakes right now. We'll wait until the matter of Fort D'Anis is resolved. By the way, there's nothing wrong with Nalia's emotions, right?"

"Xina and Aimeng are talking with her in the room. Apart from some anxiety, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Henry nodded slightly. "That's good. Go tell them to get ready and set off early tomorrow morning. I have already contacted the voters of the four goddesses of magic, Alustri, Kelben, Lila, and Elminster. As long as Balagos "Flying Flame" dares to appear, he will definitely pay a heavy price."

"This is really good news. I'm going to inform other people now. The girl named Nalia in the province has been crying, and it sounds disturbing." After speaking, Shandier walked upstairs with brisk steps. In her opinion, her master must have taken a fancy to the treasure of this ancient red dragon, so she decided to repeat the feat of slaying the dragon again.

Sensing the thoughts of the sorceress, Henry was really dumbfounded. He is definitely not for the treasure of the dragon, but he is reluctant to part with the experience rewards of Fort D'Annis and its subsequent missions. Of course, it would be better if Balagos "Flying Flame" could be eradicated smoothly. The red dragon was always flying around Amn and Tethyr. A great threat to future adventures.

Generally speaking, most five-color giant dragons will choose to return to their lairs to hide and protect their treasures after entering old age. But Balagos "Flame" is completely different. Although it has a lair full of treasure, it seldom returns there to sleep. As an ancient giant dragon that has lived for more than 10,000 years, it is a bit too active. It's almost like a fledgling young dragon.

This is also the reason why Henry had already proposed an ambush plan, and Kelben and others immediately agreed to it. For the entire western continent, the threat of this dragon is too great. Especially its approach, trying to carry out a genocidal massacre of all humans and elves.

Henry, who had been tired all day, simply took a shower, closed his eyes and began to rest. Not long after falling asleep, he walked into the room full of mirrors again. This time the form was even weirder, I saw that all myself in the mirror had only half a head. The bones, scalp, brain, teeth, tongue, and even the cervical vertebrae on the neck were all exposed, which looked so bloody that it made the scalp tingle.

Suddenly, a gloomy voice came from behind: "Ha! Look who is here! A born pretender, a guy who lives with a mask."

Henry was taken aback. He hurriedly turned around to check, only to see a scene that made him extremely horrified and disgusting. The self in a mirror started to rot all over, the skin was covered with various abscesses, and some worms kept crawling in and out of the skin, eating the carrion around. One of the opponent's eyes has been eaten by bugs. The bloody eye sockets were filled with a large number of white worms.

"Hey hey hey, isn't it scary? You are responsible for the way I am now!"

"Why do you say that? I don't even know where this place is." Henry stepped back calmly, the appearance of the other party really made his scalp tingle.

The man in the mirror grabbed a handful of worms from his eye sockets, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them, and then spat them out on the ground. "Bah! How dare you say you don't know! These bugs represent your soul, and they are devouring me as nourishment."

"Swallow? Why does my soul eat you. And what is this place?" Henry frowned and asked several questions in one breath. He felt that this room must be related to some of his secrets, maybe it could solve the mystery of time travel.

A strange smile appeared on the face of the man in the mirror, which looked like the scene of a car accident. A few seconds later, he revealed the system logo on his right hand. "Hehe. Do you want to know why? After you pass the twentieth level, you will naturally come into contact with the mysteries here bit by bit. As for now, you are just a stronger ant, and you are not qualified to obtain anything here."

As soon as the words fell, all the mirrors shattered again. Henry only felt that he was trapped in an endless universe, and countless stars were receding rapidly. He seemed to see the sun, stars, and isolated planes one by one. All of this is imbued with realism. In a world without time, feeling, and sound, I don't know how much time has passed. It may be a second, or tens of thousands of years.

Finally he saw a world wrapped in a transparent film, and then plunged into it. An unknown force began to squeeze the body quickly, and the skin, muscles, internal organs, and bones were all crushed bit by bit. In the end, only the white and transparent soul remained. What is strange is that there was no pain during the whole process, and even a trace of special energy was integrated into it.

With the influx of special energy, Henry felt that his soul was getting heavier and heavier, and he fell towards the ground quickly. The high-speed fall lasted only a few minutes, and he saw a handsome young man lying on the ground, and a dwarf with a mournful face beside him. In the blink of an eye, the soul rushed into the boy's body, followed by the end of the dream.

Henry sat up suddenly from the bed, panting heavily. He realized that the second half of the dream was probably the process of descending into this world, the transparent film should be the crystal wall, and the last two people he saw must be himself and Cagan. It seems that the room full of mirrors hides a lot of secrets, especially the last sentence that the man in the mirror said makes people think about it.

"Qualifications! It seems that I need to become a legendary mage as soon as possible. This feeling of ignorance is really terrible." Henry rubbed his forehead while talking to himself. He began to suspect that his memory was missing, maybe they were not forgotten, but sealed in a room full of mirrors.

But these are just guesses now, and we can't be sure until we get the evidence. Henry put on his clothes and stood by the window for a breath of fresh morning air, then opened the door to the hall on the first floor. As soon as I walked down the stairs, I saw my teammates who had been waiting here. He said hello with a smile on his face: "Good morning, all beautiful ladies. Since our time is a bit tight, I'm afraid I can only wrong you to eat breakfast on the road."

"It's okay, we've all eaten. Let's go, Nalia's father is still waiting for us to rescue." After speaking, Aimon stood up from the chair.

Nalia came to Henry and bowed deeply. "For your help, I simply don't know what to say. Although a thank you is far from enough to express my gratitude, I still want to say thank you."

Henry smiled and waved his hands. "Let's save my thanks for later. If you are all ready, we will start now. You must know that D'Annisburg is not close to Askatra. Since I have never been there, the teleportation spell cannot be used at all. According to the speed of traveling day and night, we will have to walk for at least three to five days to get there."

"In that case, let's go. Gavila has prepared chicken burritos for us to eat while walking on the road." As she said, Hina pointed to the rolled meat patties in the basin, and there were more than forty of them.

Henry nodded in satisfaction. "It seems that she is quite thoughtful. With these, we can save the time of lighting a fire and cooking on the road."

After putting all the burritos into the dimension bag, a group of people passed through the city gate and headed towards Deanisberg along the east road. In order to catch up with time along the way, except for the necessary eight hours of rest every day, everyone was walking non-stop. Although they are taking the main road, there are still a lot of robbers and monsters at night.

In less than four days, Henry made a total of eight shots, of which only three were monster attacks, and all the others were human robbers. I have to say that Amn is indeed very rich, as can be seen from the equipment and number of robbers. You must know that the bandits in Baldur's Gate don't have such good equipment, and their numbers are much smaller.

Perhaps most caravans will reach a compromise with the robbers, and just pay a part of the toll. But unfortunately, they robbed the wrong person. As the ruler of a country, Henry was extremely disgusted with these guys who disturbed the law and order, so he killed them all without leaving a single one alive. He even found a pretty good magic weapon among the bandits.

Yaban's Blade of Agility

This is one of many weapons named after the mage who first discovered this method of casting spells on a sword. It was the weapon of Garno the Rogue, and many clerics fell to its sword. After Gano's family was burned to death by priests of Lovita, the goddess of pain, Gano became at odds with the gods and spent his life seeking revenge. Although the targets of his hatred were the clergy, it is believed that a Chaos God assisted Garno in obtaining the sword, and rejoiced in the chaos the young man caused.

Equipment capacity:

Immune to immobilization

Haste once a day, the effect lasts twelve seconds

In the end, this weapon was temporarily handed over to Nalia for use. After all, as a thief and mage, it is a bit awkward to always carry a flail, and it is also very unfavorable for stealth.
