Broad World

Although Shagberg handed over the Book of Kasa, his final fate was very miserable. He was tricked into accepting the old bandage and teleported straight to the catacombs. Navagia, who had been waiting for a long time, locked him in the coffin without hesitation, and fled this dark place at the moment when the curse and magic contract were transferred.

Not long after, an ancient mummy wrapped in bandages appeared on the roof of the Copper Crown Inn. As soon as it saw Henry, it immediately knelt down and made a low voice: "New...new master...you have completed the...promise...from now on...I will obey...orders...until...being...destroyed."

"Very well, tell me, how did you manage to make a judgment when the spell just started to be chanted?" After a long time of effort, Henry was most concerned about this. In order to keep it a secret, he had sent his teammates to the Copper Crown Inn a few minutes ago.

A gleam flashed in Navagia's ruby ​​eyes, and she shook her head slightly. "I...can't...say the...secret...the oath of magic...Kasa...the instructor forbids...all the apprentices...to mention...but...the book of Kasa...there is...a record..."

"You mean you can learn this magic skill as long as you decipher this book?" Henry asked, shaking a thick dark blue book in his hand.

This is the "Kasa Book" handed over by Shagberg. The moment he got it, he opened it and looked it up, only to find that the page was almost blank. Obviously, the book is blessed with special protection magic and secret locks, which can only be cracked layer by layer except for the holder himself. This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, sometimes even lasting for several months to a year without damaging the content inside.

The Book of Kasa:

This famous book was written by a lich named "Kasa". Its contents are said to be related to the darkest secrets of sorcery. But when you look at it, its pages seem to be completely blank. The book was taken to the place now known as Amn by Kathar's disciples after he was slain in the last days of the turmoil in Netheril. How it got to where it is after so many years is unknown.

See this book. Navaggia's bandaged face showed a rare look of excitement. "Yes...yes...it...records...the teacher's...greatest...achievement...I...I used to desire...to read it...but...but because...something went wrong...in the end it was turned into...like this."

Henry frowned and asked, "So you know how to unlock the protective magic above?"

"That's right...the night of the first quarter moon...soaked...in the blood of a pure woman...all...the pages...the words of knowledge...will appear..." Navagia spoke intermittently, as if the prolonged isolation had seriously damaged his ability to express himself. But fortunately, it didn't affect him at all when he chanted the incantation. Not only did he speak clearly, but he was also quite fast.

Henry probably calculated silently in his heart. The night of the first quarter moon will not appear until three days later. As for the blood of pure women, it is easier to get it. After all, it's not about killing people, as long as you spend a few gold coins, you can easily find a large number of volunteers in the slums. You must know that there are many people here who can't even afford to eat. If you know that you can make money by shedding a little blood, it is guaranteed that a large number of people will flock here.

After getting the information he wanted, he directly used magic to send the ancient mummy to the mage's tower in Amn to accompany the Lich Oleg. With these two powerful undead creatures in charge, there is no need to worry too much about the safety of the mage tower.

Since Amelia had already fallen asleep, Henry didn't bother her much, he just explained the matter and left immediately. Although he had ordered Viconia and Fede to keep an eye on Edwin, he was still not at ease letting the Netheril scroll out of his sight.

The nights at the Copper Crown Inn were even more lively. Many business projects that were not dared to carry out during the day are now open. For example, the bloody underground arena, or those special rooms with closed doors. Because it was midnight, there were few patrolling guards to be seen on the street.

As soon as Henry entered the door, he smelled a mixture of sweat, bad perfume, wine, cigarettes, etc., and was almost kicked out. While calmly punishing a few halfling pickpockets, he looked around for traces of his teammates. After dismissing several women in the special service industry in revealing clothes in a row. He finally caught sight of Korgan, who was eating and drinking in a corner.

I saw that the poor-quality wooden table was filled with rich dishes, ranging from meat of various livestock and poultry to fish, shrimp, and shellfish swimming in the water. There was even a large plate in the middle of the table, which contained sea crabs a foot long. It can be said that this is already the most luxurious food that the Copper Crown Hotel can provide, and it costs at least forty gold coins together.

The dwarf obviously also saw Henry, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! This way! Come here, we are all waiting for you to eat."

"Damn! What is this?" Henry just came closer. Suddenly found a bloody hand on the ground.

Fei De shrugged his shoulders and explained: "Aha, don't worry about it. This guy had a bad idea when he saw the sumptuous dishes and the two beauties in the team, but the claw was chopped off by a sharp ax just as he stretched it out."

"Are you praising yourself in disguise?" Henry asked in a joking tone. As soon as he heard that the other party made the first move, he didn't plan to pursue it anymore. Anyway, this kind of guy is definitely not a good thing.

"Look at the plump (full) chest, slender waist, and finally the slender (legs). Am I not a beauty?" Fei De also jokingly put on a seductive pose. Long-term thieves training allowed her to maintain her soft lines. Coupled with a set of tight leather clothes, it can indeed arouse men’s primitive desire.

Henry sighed slightly. "Well, I admit that you are indeed a very (attractive) beauty. But it's best to stop this action now, because many men's eyes have been attracted. If you don't stop quickly, I'm afraid this sumptuous dinner will not be eaten."

Fei De smiled happily, and covered his body with the cloak again. Although she has done many dangerous jobs in order to survive. Including thieves, assassins, pickpockets, robbers, and even a prostitute, but this is the first time you have taken the risk. It only took one afternoon to get a share of more than 2,000 gold coins, which was faster than getting money from robbery.

She is quite satisfied with the new boss she has taken refuge in. Not only is he quite handsome, but he also has a generous shot and is a powerful legendary spellcaster himself. Walk around, do some dangerous and exciting things, and then find a warm hotel to eat and drink after earning a lot of gold coins. Isn't this the life you dream of?

Seeing the excited eyes of his teammates, Henry poured himself a glass of rum and said with a smile, "To the great adventurer!"

"To the great adventurer!"

Everyone yelled in unison, and immediately drank it down, even Henry himself was no exception. Since absorbing (desire) his aversion to alcohol has eased a lot. Although he still doesn't like the taste, it's okay to drink a small glass on a celebratory occasion.

"Ha! There's nothing more satisfying than having a big meal after an adventure. What's more, we've gained quite a lot, and it's the first time I've gotten so much money." Korgan said, wiping his drink from his beard.

Viconia asked Henry while eating food: "What are your plans for the future, rest for a few days or continue to take risks? I heard that the Church of the Blind Eye has recently been rioting in the temple area, and various temples have offered huge rewards. In addition, there is a sphere that suddenly appeared in the west of the slum area. The mask has already intervened in the investigation. I believe that as a mage, you will be interested."

"The sphere? That is a magical aircraft that can travel between different planes. I heard that it belonged to a powerful mage hundreds of years ago of the Kosala family. If the masked mage intervenes, it means there must be a lot of treasures inside. Maybe we should act first before they get it."

Edwin, who had been silent all this time, immediately became interested when he heard something related to magic. Obviously he is very interested in the Dimensional Ball and the special blood of the Kosala family. You must know that this family used to be the wealthiest noble in Amn, but now it is ridiculed by everyone. It is said that there is a special curse flowing in their blood. Every member of the Kosala family has a very good magical talent. Once they use it, they will be confused by the powerful power inside, and the end will be very miserable.

Henry shook his head with a smile after swallowing the piece of meat in his mouth. "No, these things are not under consideration for the time being. Our next target is the Talisman's stronghold in Askatra. It is said that one of them holds the Staff of the Archmage that every mage and warlock dreams of."

"The Staff of the Archmage?!" Edwin blushed excitedly when he heard it, and then cursed in a low voice: "Damn! This is really the temptation of the devil."

"Are you sure you want to deal with the Talisman Society? They are a group of powerful undead creatures, especially liches. Once they are killed and they can't find the phylactery, they will definitely be retaliated against. I was a slave in Karinshan for a period of time, and I know very well how terrifying this organization is." When Fei De spoke, his hands and feet kept shaking. It seems that the experience has left a lot of psychological shadow.

"Don't worry, I'm sure enough to eradicate them all at once, and I guarantee that none of them will slip through the net and report back."

Henry was full of confidence when he said this. He has already investigated the stronghold in the bridge area, which is connected to a miniature demiplane, as long as the movement is fast enough, it can be quickly sealed. At that time, no matter whether it is a lich, a vampire, or a beholder, there is no way to escape, and they can only be trapped inside.
