Broad World

The two pieces of magic equipment that Shandier got were not very good, but they were obviously quite practical for her. Especially the induction amulet, whether it is a permanent protection from evil or an attribute of increasing charm, is the most suitable for a warlock. You must know that the profession of warlock is essentially the exploration of the potential of bloodlines. The higher the charm, the stronger the perception of one's own strength.

After Henry used up four pick opportunities, he was not in a hurry to leave. He first bought a scroll box at the deepest part of the adventurer's market, and then put some of the scrolls he usually saved into it. In the end, it was given to Sandy along with the scroll box, the long-handled cane of the giant snake, and the gloves of the ogre's strange power.

According to the plan, Henry must arm the sorceress as soon as possible. After all, the several targets he was eyeing were very difficult to deal with, and it would be impossible to deal with them without a powerful helper. After all, you can't run around with terminators and scroll golems in Amn, because the Masked Mage Guild expressly prohibits the use of magic and its affiliated alchemy creatures in public.

Shantier can be said to be Henry's second most powerful spellcaster after Borken, and as long as she doesn't get divinity, she never has to worry about betrayal. After careful consideration, he finally decided to let the sorceress be his adventure assistant in the Amn region. Although Borken was more capable of spellcasting and more knowledgeable, what he signed was merely a service agreement. Once your life is in danger, you can turn around and run away at any time.

Sandy was very happy to get several magic items and a large number of scrolls at once. To her it was a sign of elevated status. After such a long time of hard work, I finally won the trust of the master. And Joan Irenicus is also hiding somewhere in this city, it would be wonderful to see this guy die tragically with his own eyes.

After leaving the adventurer's market. The two walked down the street through the ghetto. Came near the entrance of the city. Henry's first goal. It's the lich hiding in the hotel in the city gate area. As the saying goes, pick the soft persimmons first. According to his memory, this lich should be regarded as the easiest one to deal with among the many powerful spellcasters in Askatra. What's more, in his hand is a long sword specially designed to deal with undead. If used correctly, most undead are not to be feared.

The city gate area is not big, it can even be said to be the smallest of the eight areas in the city. After a few steps, they saw a wooden signboard. It says Crooked Crane Hotel in the common language. Maybe it's for the sake of being funny, maybe it's to better attract business, anyway, there is a rather strange bird drawn under the signboard.

"Go in, we'll spend the night here today." Henry pointed to the Crooked Crane Hotel and said.

Shandier looked at the dilapidated hotel and asked in surprise: "No? Could it be that a strong magician who turned into a lich would hide in such a rotten place? It's simply unbelievable."

Henry smiled and touched the newly grown stubble on his chin and replied: "Perhaps this is his smartest part. Mages are creatures that cannot be deduced by common sense, especially those liches who have been eroded by negative energy for a long time. Alright, let's go in and discuss with the boss to see if we can buy the hotel. I don't want to take these ordinary people into consideration when fighting liches."

"Hahahaha! If I were the owner of this hotel, I would be impatient to sell it. Look at the rotten boards and dilapidated roof, I'm afraid it will fall down by itself in a few years." Sandyr pointed out the biggest shortcoming of the "Crane-necked Crane" hotel mercilessly.

Pushing open a dilapidated door, Henry immediately smelled a mixture of cigarettes, alcohol, and drunken vomit. Without saying a word, he blessed himself and Sandy with two air filter spells. The hall on the first floor was full of people. Most of them are civilians struggling at the bottom of society, so they can only drink a glass of low-quality ale mixed with water in such a cheap place.

Since the moment Sandy walked in. All the men who can still stay awake set their sights here. They were completely attracted by the coquettish and beautiful woman in front of them, and they didn't even notice that the wine glass was poured. Seeing this situation, Henry secretly groaned. After a while, someone will definitely come forward to strike up a conversation, and maybe there will be a big fight.

As he expected, the two of them were stopped by a burly man before they reached the stage. This guy has scars all over his body and face, and it seems that he often participates in activities such as fighting and brawling. In Faerun Continent, except for a few extremely orderly cities, there will always be one or two such people in most wines and hotels. They never need to spend money to drink and eat, but if there is any trouble, they must come forward to solve it.

The big man first glanced at Shandier's figure, and then said unscrupulously: "Hey! Beauty, do you want to spend a happy night with the strong Bourne? I guarantee that it only takes a few minutes to send you to the cloud. If you don't believe me, you can ask these customers around, they can all testify for me."

"Haha! Bourne, you pervert!"

"If you want to spend the night here, we need to personally test whether your skills are good."

"That's right! You can't eat alone, you have to share it with us!"

Bourne's words made the surrounding scene instantly chaotic. The men took advantage of the chaos to speak obscene words loudly, and stared fiercely at Sandy, trying to pull off her clothes with their eyes. Seeing this situation, Henry sighed slightly. He knew that bad luck was coming for these people. With the fiery temper of the sorceress, even if she does not die, she will shed a layer of skin.

Seeing Shandier's slightly red eyes, Henry whispered: "Be careful, try not to kill anyone. I don't want the license to cast spells to be revoked. That thing cost a lot of money."

"Please rest assured, I will let them taste the feeling that life is worse than death."

As soon as the sorceress finished speaking, a third-level magic "Human Immobilization" was released. These ordinary people had no ability to resist at all, and they were all frozen in place at once, unable to move. The sorceress pulled out the dagger from her waist and came to Bourne. The forehead of this burly man was densely covered with beads of sweat, and he knew very well that he might have provoked some important person.

"Yo! Isn't this the strong Bourne? Now let me test it carefully, are you as powerful as I said?" Shandier smiled charmingly, then swung the dagger and stabbed it in her lower body.

The severe pain caused Byrne to keep rolling his eyes and opening his mouth wide. Since the magic effect of the immobilization technique had not yet passed, he couldn't make any sound at all. Sandy sneered, turned the dagger in her hand and cut off something important. She pulled out the blood-stained dagger, rubbed it on the big man's face and said mockingly, "Hey! It seems that you are bragging. It's not as strong as you imagined, it just broke with a light touch."

The sight in front of them made the men who just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity feel cold. They didn't expect this woman to be so cruel, and they cut off Bourne's lifeblood without hesitation. The unlucky guy had already fainted from the pain, and his entire trousers were stained red with blood. One by one, Sandyr found the people who had spoken loudly, and cut off their right ears as punishment.

Henry looked at Bourne who was still twitching on the ground with pitiful eyes. Although there are many high-level divine arts that can regenerate severed limbs, they definitely cannot afford it with his financial ability. In other words, if this guy doesn't commit suicide, he can only live as a man and woman.

Sandy's movements were very fast, and within a minute, half of the people in the hall had their right ears cut off. After the punishment was over, she removed the magic effect of the immobilization technique. After the guests found that they had regained their ability to move, they ran away in an instant. Now, apart from the boss, only Bourne was lying unconscious on the ground, and even the waitresses who worked here were gone.

Henry walked towards the hotel owner with unhurried steps. The latter was frightened and yelled loudly: "Don't...don't come here. I didn't say anything just now, and I didn't read anything."

"Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you about a business. The style of this hotel is very nice, how much does it cost to buy it?" Henry walked over and asked with a smile on his face.

As soon as the boss heard the word business, his eyes lit up, and he immediately got up from the ground and complained: "Ah! You didn't say it earlier. Look, I was so scared that I almost peed my pants."

"I'm really sorry, my female partner is a warlock. You should know that they usually have a hard time controlling their emotions." After finishing speaking, Henry bowed slightly to express his apology.

The innkeeper glanced at the blood and ears all over the floor, and sighed helplessly. He knew that the business of this hotel was over, and no one would dare to come for a drink for a long time. Although it is a bit reluctant to sell it directly, it is the only way to make a living.

"What price do you plan to offer? You must know that this is the only hotel in Chengmen District, and there is no one else competing with me." The boss began to detail the advantages of the hotel in order to sell it at a good price.

Henry waved his hand and interrupted his tirade. "You don't need to say these things, you just need to offer a price. Remember, there is only one chance, if it is too outrageous, forget it."

The boss was stunned for a moment, then frowned and calculated the gains and losses. It was the first time he had seen someone discuss business like this, and he didn't intend to bargain at all. After thinking about it for ten minutes, he raised his head and offered a price. "Five thousand gold coins! As long as the five thousand gold coin hotel and the land under your feet are all yours."

"I have to say that you are a very shrewd businessman. Although the price is a bit high, it is still within my acceptable range. Now bring the land deed here. After we sign an agreement with each other, I will pay the full amount immediately." After speaking, Henry took out two bags of gold coins from the dimension bag and put them on the table.
