Broad World

When entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is the blue and white floor tiles. The price of this special stone slab from the south of Amn is not cheap, and it will cost at least 50,000 to 70,000 gold coins to cover the entire building. Henry couldn't help but sigh the wealth of the Iron Throne, and then he was full of expectations for receiving the property here in the future.

Aimon's eyes kept scanning the valuables around him, and even secretly used a knife to pry off a piece of emerald embedded in the wall. Jasila quickly noticed her small movements, but she didn't go over to stop her. They are now mainly focusing on the businessmen talking around, trying to find clues from these conversations.

Suddenly a big fat man came down from the stairs leading to the upper floor. Panting, he pushed away the crowd and yelled loudly: "Get out! Get out! This is crazy and unbearable!"

Henry winked, and Jaheira immediately walked over to stop the fat man. "Excuse me, what happened above to make you so angry?"

"What happened?! Salovek's entourage went crazy! These guys seem to be planning something secretly. I'm just a businessman who makes a small profit! I can't stand staying with these villains anymore!" The fat man cursed loudly, completely ignoring the eyes of other people around him.

Henry took out a large bag of gold coins and quietly handed it over, saying in a low voice, "Maybe the money will allow you to stay for a while and tell us what's going on with those people above."

The fat man looked around vigilantly, then opened the bag and took a look. The golden coins dazzled his eyes in an instant, and based on years of experience in business, there were at least five hundred of them. The self-proclaimed businessman packed the money and dragged them to an obscure corner.

"Those entourages stay on the fifth floor with Sadong. There are eight of them in total. Each pair is lunatic. Two priests, two mages, two assassins, and two big villains. The eyes of these guys are a bit wrong. If I just spend some money for fun, I will not conflict with them. Finally, thank you for your gold coins. The money is enough for me to escape to other places to do a small business safely." After finishing speaking, the fat man ran out of the gate at a speed of 100 meters.

Jasila was stunned. She never expected that a person weighing more than 100 kilograms could run so fast. Henry smiled and shook his head and asked Apodell: "We already know that there are eight malicious guys upstairs, what are you going to do now?"

"Do you need to ask? Of course, I rushed up and cut these guys to the ground, and then asked what the guy named Sarevok's plan is." After speaking, Apodel was about to draw out his weapon and attack the guard standing at the stairs.

Seeing this, Khalid immediately pulled him back. "Don't...don't be so impulsive. I think...it's better to try to deceive the...guard. This way...you can avoid making a fool of yourself."

"Hey! Who are you guys? What are you going to do here?" The guard at the stairway noticed the abnormal situation here, and one of the guys came over and asked loudly.

Henry hurried over and quietly put a few gold coins into the guard's pocket. Then he explained in a low voice: "We are a group of mercenaries. I heard that this place is recruiting people, so I plan to try my luck."

The guard noticed his small movements and nodded in satisfaction. "You guys are in luck. Sarevok is recruiting mercenaries on a large scale. Go to the office on the inner side of the fourth floor. There are special people in charge of this."

"Thank you very much, let's go upstairs and have a look." After speaking, Henry led the others up the stairs to the second floor.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a brown-haired man glanced at them vigilantly and asked loudly, "Where are you going?"

Henry noticed that he was dressed differently from the guards downstairs, and he looked like a low-ranking officer. He immediately answered with a serious face: "On the fifth floor, Sarevok wants us to send an important message to his assistant."

"Oh, go ahead then. Sometimes it's creepy to work with those people." The man breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand to indicate that they could pass.

Apodell frowned and asked: "It's creepy? What does this mean?"

The man's face suddenly turned pale, and his lips trembled twice. "I saw a guy walk up with a few merchants. Then send them down again. For some reason, these people always feel different when they go up. Their eye color will occasionally turn silver, like the quicksilver that mages often use."

As soon as Henry heard it, he knew that all of these people had been copied by the shapeshifter. He met Jaheira's eyes in a tacit understanding, and then comforted the terrified man. Then a group of people followed the stairs to the third floor. Here they met a man named Notway, who claimed to be a senior executive of the Iron Throne and was looking for Rita, the person in charge here. Aimon lied casually and lured him downstairs.

The more they understand, the more people feel that the Iron Throne is unfathomable. There are not only merchants from all over the world here, but also many nobles and envoys from various cities. After getting some information on the fourth floor, they decided to go to the fifth floor to ask Sarevok's subordinates to clarify.

When Henry was at the stairs, he quietly blessed himself with a few protective spells. He knew very well that there were not only shape-changing monsters, but also many thugs. This is an unavoidable battle, because once the opponent finds out that his secret has been leaked, he will definitely rush forward and kill him.

In fact, things are exactly as expected. As soon as Apodel stepped out of the stairs on the fifth floor, he saw a shapeshifter slowly turning into a businessman, and the businessman was pierced through the throat with a sword by the warrior next to him. The son of Baal's anger erupted directly, he rushed forward waving his weapon, and started a scuffle following closely behind everyone.

Henry commanded Spellcaster No. 1 to quickly suppress the two mages, while he kept casting spells and magical spells to help his teammates. The warrior with the halberd was very difficult to deal with. Even though Apodel was equipped with martial arts gloves and speed boots, he was still beaten back steadily. With the support of Dana Hei's magic, Minsk solved the opponent as quickly as possible and ran over to help.

Imoon sneaked up behind the enemy archer and easily slit his throat with his short sword. The Jasila couple teamed up to deal with the two priests. Both sides had rich combat experience and maintained an unbeatable situation. The scroll golem took advantage of Henry's removal of the protective magic of the two mages, and directly cast the seventh-level magic "Rainbow Jet".

I saw a colorful ray of light shoot out from its fingertips, fanning out. A mage was irradiated by the yellow light, and was instantly turned into coke by the powerful electric current. The other mage was hit by the green light, spitting black and stinking blood, and fell to the ground with a black face after a few seconds.

After killing the two mages, Henry quickly released a monster immobilization, immobilizing the shapeshifters in place. Then the "Spell Sequencing" was activated directly, and the skeleton trap fired three times in a row, blowing up all the monsters to pieces. The aftermath of the explosion knocked the other people who were fighting around, and Apodel even cursed viciously.

After the enemy lost their numerical advantage, they quickly fell into trouble. Henry not only dispelled all the magic spells of the two priests, but also kept blessing them with negative status. The second-level magic "weakening light", the first-level magic "disaster", and the third-level magic "infection" (affected creatures will immediately produce symptoms such as organ lesions, dehydration, and abscesses, and will also greatly affect physical fitness.) were casted one after another, and the few remaining enemies felt dizzy after a while.

When their movements slowed down and their strength became weaker, everyone swarmed up and quickly ended the battle. Looking at the dead doppelganger, Jasila's expression became very ugly. It's clear that the Iron Throne has used these monsters to infiltrate every aspect of the city, and the priority now is to find them all and kill them all.

The rest of the time is spent searching the corpses for valuable clues and loot. Soon, Aimon found a letter on the soldier holding the halberd. On it was Salovek's order, and he asked these people to completely eliminate the threat posed by Apodel. In addition, there are a few magic items. Henry identified them one by one.

Leather Armor: "The Life and Death of Caraga"

Calaga was once Calishan's strongest wrestler, seemingly invincible. He claims that his success is due to the mobility afforded by his light armor. He may not be aware of the other properties of the leather armor, but when his companions discover that the armor is enchanted, they ignore his excuses. After the ensuing fight, the armor remained intact, but Caraga was killed.

Lesser Ring of Perception:

Lords of the underworld bestow the ring on their trusted allies, and it enhances the wearer's senses, making them better at "delicate" and often dangerous tasks.

Equipment capacity:

Increase the abilities of thieves in an all-round way

Ring of Self-Action: "Gift of Advan Tower"

It was a gift from a group of sea elves to their old friend Advanta, a coastal scavenger. Because he helped defeat the "Pirate Queen" of Dambras, the sea elves survived, but the people along the coast were still afraid of Yenidra.

Equipment capacity:

Self-action (immunity to shock)

Bolas: "The Sleeper"

This weapon belongs to Sitak, an evil elf known as "Slave of the Sword Coast." Until his sudden death many years ago, Sitak commanded a large force of human, dwarven, and goblin thieves, using the Sleepers to keep them in check. It has a chance to put any human, dwarf, goblin or halfling to sleep, although elves are immune of course.

Combat ability:

Any human or humanoid (except elves) has a chance to fall asleep for eighteen seconds when hit. (To be continued..)
