Broad World - Chapter 315
Chapter 313 D’Annisburg 5
Under Naria’s description, it didn’t take long for everyone to learn what her aunt Desia Ken was like. This lady was not only a little arrogant, but also often despised ordinary people living at the bottom of society. Almost all the servants in the castle had been reprimanded by her, and even Naria, who liked to help the poor, could not escape.
It is said that Ms. Desia hates adventurers and mercenaries the most, and calls them nasty hillbillies. She believes that these nosy people are social instability factors, and Amn should use the army to eradicate them. Although it is true to some extent, it is obviously impossible to eradicate it completely.
Henry had also thought about eliminating these instability factors in his principality, but he later found out that without the adventurers and mercenaries, many things would not be able to be handled at all. Especially when small monsters like kobolds or goblins come to harass the village, most village chiefs tend to spend a few dollars to ask a team of adventurers to drive them away.
After all, there are too many remote villages. If an army is sent for this trivial matter, then even 10,000 people may not be enough. It can be said that adventurers and mercenaries have greatly reduced administrative costs, so in Faerun, a place where public transportation is not very convenient, no country can do without them.
Of course, adventurers are not all good. These guys are very mobile, and most people despise the law. Teams with low professional levels are better because they are afraid of being besieged and suppressed by the garrison. However, a very small number of teams with a professional level of more than ten, or even fifteen, are completely unscrupulous and even dare to do things that subvert state power.
The Gu Zhi team that Henry killed while guarding the mansion some time ago was of this type. Although I don’t know what their purpose is for lurking there, it will have something to do with Karinshan’s magic talisman, and it will definitely not be a good thing. According to his inference, these guys are likely to indirectly control the upper class of Ascatla through terrorist activities such as kidnapping, intimidation, and extortion.
You must know that the six-member council is almost all from this class, if their plan is successful. Then Amn has the chance to become the second chaotic Karin Shan. The country that is secretly controlled by the magic talisman will not end well. These undead creatures completely use mortals as toys to pass the long and boring time.
“In short, the trick is to ignore anything she says, whether it’s sarcastic or demeaning, just be a grumpy parrot and learn to speak there.” Naria finally made a concluding speech. She didn’t want any conflict between these people and her aunt, especially Shandi, who had a bad temper.
“Don’t worry, I think this will make your arrogant aunt shut up.” As he said, Henry took out his family crest. He doesn’t have such a good temper. Listen to the irony and sarcasm of an old woman in menopause. If the other party is uninterested, he doesn’t mind letting the Aunt Desia suffer a bit.
Naria, who had been educated by nobles since she was a child, recognized the pattern on the badge at a glance. As the latest rising aristocracy on the West Coast, the Angome family is a household name. Although it does not have a long history, it has become a force that cannot be ignored by virtue of the talents of contemporary family owners. Especially the other side’s methods and adventures of turning stones into gold have long been spread to them. Often used by other nobles to educate their children.
We must know that the Deanis family has been passed down for so many years, and the current main economic income averages only between one hundred and seven hundred gold coins every Friday. This includes a lot of miscellaneous taxes, as well as income from food sales during the autumn harvest. Excluding the expenses for repairing castles, water conservancy facilities, mills, distributing salaries to servants, supporting the army, etc., there won’t be much left in the end.
Sir Deanis values and cherishes his hard-won reputation, so in the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, he will not only rebuild the farmland, but also help the farmers in the territory. Naria had seen her father borrow money from merchants many times. Each time the amount will not be less than two thousand gold coins.
From this we can see how rich Henry’s territory is. Now many nobles in the surrounding area are waiting for the sandy murlocs to retreat, so as to rush to seek benefits in the new country. Among them, the three countries bordering the Baldur’s Gate area are the most active. They are Am, Cormyr, and Tunisia.
They saw the great potential of the principality in this war, and they all hoped to draw it into their camp. After all, the Battle of Baldur’s Gate annihilated more than 10,000 deserted murloc troops. Although it was at the cost of a city turned into ruins, it was the first time this kind of record has ever been against marine life.
Especially Amn, trying to get them together is nothing short of effort. The six-member council knows the combat effectiveness of the sandy murlocs best. The fleet they spent heavily to build, but not far from the port, sank all these marine overlords. A full 1.5 million gold coins didn’t even hear a sound, and none of the captains and sailors came back alive.
In addition, these people are eager to get the right to use the airship. We must know that the reason why Deepwater City has been able to stick to it is because of these hugely loaded aircraft to transport materials. Although all the forces are trying to crack the mystery, but a single hydrogen gas leaves everyone unable to start.
There are definitely not a few archmages in this world who can build aircraft, but it is impossible to meet the high quality and low price, stable performance, and huge load capacity. Especially the principle of electrolysis of water is not the object of study by the mages at all. Magic has given the world great convenience at the same time. It also limits the development of natural science and technology. At least Henry has not seen any signs of industrial development yet, and even a slightly larger handicraft workshop has not appeared.
Of course, the red-robed mages like Searle sneered at this kind of flying machine, and they preferred to stuff everything into the dimension bag. Then a teleportation technique is delivered to the designated location. Only the wealthy red robes can do so unscrupulously as a delivery man.
Looking at the logo on the badge, Naria’s eyes showed admiration. She said incoherently: “Are you really Henry Angome?!!! The ruler of the Principality of Dalaran?!!! God! I’m actually adventuring with my idol! This is incredible!”
Henry smiled and nodded. He really didn’t expect that the noble girl in front of him was still his admirer. “Yes, I am Henry Angome. But it is best not to say your full name in public, otherwise there will be a lot of unnecessary troubles during the adventure.”
Naria agreed with a single mouthful of excitement. “Don’t worry, I will keep this secret. I believe that when my aunt learns this news, her face will be very exciting. She used to say that I always make friends with all kinds of things, and that all adventurers are all adventurous. Soil buns.”
“I hate your aunt more and more now, she is simply a vicious old woman.” Imoen pouted.
“Uh…Although I agree with this view, there is no way. Who makes her my aunt?” Naria sighed helplessly. Which young man would like a nagging elder, but who would call him his father’s sister?
A sly smile appeared on Imoen’s face, and he crawled to Naria’s ear and underestimated a few words. The latter’s eyes lit up when he heard it, and immediately hugged the girl and gave him a hard kiss. “Awesome, you are a genius. If the plan goes well, I can make my aunt shut up forever.”
“Although I don’t know what the two of you are doing, it’s best to stop first. There are still a lot of trolls and snake-man mages waiting for us to clean up upstairs, so no accidents are allowed at this time.” Henry Seeing the two people whispering, they immediately warned seriously. Although he didn’t mind making Desia suffer a bit, before all the threats were resolved, it was better to do more than to do less.
The two girls with ghosts looked at each other, then both closed their mouths and said nothing. Henry didn’t have the time to pay attention to their careful thoughts, and took the lead directly down the stairs to the second floor. According to Naria’s instructions, everyone went straight into the southern passage. As the servant who almost became food for the trolls said, there are patrolling monsters everywhere.
However, the team of three mountain trolls and a ghost troll obviously did not pose any threat. The crowd didn’t even release magic, and they killed the opponent with only the magic weapon in their hands. Especially after Hina turned into a dragon, it was as easy to deal with trolls as cutting melons and vegetables.
At the end of the battle, suddenly, the door to the library was opened. Two snake-men with yellowish scales and red tubes on their heads came out One of them squeezed a hoarse common phrase from his throat: “Hiss…intruder! Torgael I will be very happy to see your bodies.”
“Give you five seconds to disappear from my eyes. Otherwise, I would mind studying the body structure of the snake-man mage.” There was a bloodthirsty smile on Shandi’s face, and she made no secret of the surging inside herself. Magic energy.
The two snake-man mages flinched in front of the powerful force. Just as they were about to use the “teleport technique” to escape, a sneer flashed across the female warlock’s face, followed by a “dimensional anchor” that blocked the surrounding space. . Taking advantage of the snake-man’s failure to react, she directly dispelled the opponent’s spell protection by “dispelling the magic”, and then the two cold-blooded creatures were directly hit by the giant snake’s long-handled stick, and soon died of poisoning.
Naria pointed to the corpse on the ground with a look of surprise and asked: “They are obviously going to leave, why are you trying to kill them all?”
“Hahahaha! Let them go? Why should I let go of the two enemies who might run back to tell the news? Your mind is okay!” Shandi sneered sarcastically. If it wasn’t for the master’s face, she would directly teach this noble girl a lesson. (To be continued.
