Broad World - Chapter 392
Chapter 390 Magic Talisman
The business of Faerun mainland is still prosperous as a whole. The closer you are to the south, the greater the number of merchants and the larger the team. Normally, with such a large group of practitioners, the business goddess should be very powerful. But in fact, on the contrary, Woking’s divine power was only maintained at a weak level, and even the **** of thieves could not be compared.
There are many reasons for this strange phenomenon, of which two are the most important:
First, faith groups are too fickle. Everyone knows the virtues of merchants. In order to obtain more wealth, they can even sell their souls to the devil. One can imagine how pious the faith is. I believe that as long as someone can afford the price, these guys don’t mind changing their beliefs.
Second, there are problems with doctrine, especially the use of any means to break down trade barriers, which offends almost all the ruling classes at once. How many years has the United States on Earth worked hard for the goal of free trade? Sitting on the world’s most powerful army, the strongest economic capital, but it has not been able to solve this problem until the 21st century. It involves the interests of too many people, who happen to have a monopoly on almost all the military and high-end military forces.
But as Viconia said, Woking is still imprisoned in the palace of the demon lord Grazt, and will be rescued in two years. Henry was going to wait until that time to chat with the goddess. It would be best if he could form an alliance. It is impossible for him to be an enemy of all the gods at the same time, so it is a very necessary thing to win a few gods who are more compatible with him.
In this huge plan, the goddess of business is just one of them, including the **** of knowledge Omar and the dark girl Eilistraee. As for Mystra and Azus, the **** of wizards, they are still considering, because their goals are too big. You must know that both the goddess of night Shar and the prince of lies Cyric have great hostility towards the goddess of magic, which may involve the grievances and hatreds of several powerful divine powers. If the strength is not enough, even the scum will not be left behind.
While Henry was weighing the pros and cons, Barto suddenly stopped and pointed to an old old house and said, “Boss, this is it. It has been abandoned for a long time. It is said that it is often haunted and no thief dared to approach here. Of course. I can go in and investigate if necessary.”
“For the sake of your little life, forget it. Remove the trap on the door for me, and open the lock by the way. Then you can go back to life.” Henry patted the halfling’s head and said. He quite likes this little verbose little guy, so let him stay away from such dangerous things.
Bartoe carefully fiddled with the magic trap and replied: “You are the boss, you have the final say. But I am quite curious about what’s in it, can you tell me a little bit?”
“I think you’d better not know it. Do you know. Curious guys usually won’t live long.” Henry deliberately scowled as he spoke. He didn’t want anyone to know that he was raiding the stronghold of the Talisman Society. He had to know that the undead’s revenge mentality was very strong.
“Don’t, don’t, I don’t want to know what’s here at all.” The halfling who was dismantling the trap hurriedly rebuffed loudly. He doesn’t want to be “evaporated” because he knows some secrets he shouldn’t know. This is an internal term of the Shadow Thieves Guild, referring to those guys who disappear inexplicably after offending the boss.
After a few minutes. Barto carefully took a layer of silver pattern from the side of the door panel, which looked like a triggering circle, which was no longer distinguishable due to the age. As for the lock on the door, he only got it in a second. When the rotten door was opened, everyone was shocked and speechless.
There were no people, no furnishings, not even rooms, but nothing but darkness. Normally, such a weird scene is invisible on the main material plane, unless it is connected to the different plane. Kogen picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it in. As a result, it disappeared the moment it was thrown in, without even making a sound.
The dwarf cursed fiercely and turned his head and asked: “Damn! Are you sure we want to go in? My instinct tells me that as long as one foot enters, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get out again.”
“Don’t worry, I have the key to enter here. But before that, it’s best to bless the protection and magic, and drink all the potions. In addition, if Barto doesn’t want to die, it’s best to leave as soon as possible.” Henry took out dozens of bottles of various potions from the dimensional bag. Of course, there is also the Rogue Stone obtained from guarding the mansion, because it is the key to entry.
“No problem. Boss. But before I leave, I want to recommend myself. You see, the bridge area is so empty now, you must need a boss who is familiar with the situation. I… I grew up here, whether it’s a river channel. Both smuggling and the street are very familiar…so…” The halfling stammered as he spoke. The nervous expression on his face was like a criminal waiting to be tried.
Henry selectively drank a bottle of potion and smiled and said, “Generally speaking, I don’t like to interfere with the operation of the union. But I think you are doing a good job this time. Let me give you a chance. Go tell Anisha, I I agree to let you take a moment to see if the business situation is not good…”
“Thank you! You are simply the most generous and merciful boss in the world! Don’t worry, I will do my best. Please see the profits I turned in in a month. Finally, I sincerely wish you all the best in your adventure.” He bowed and disappeared.
Seeing that irrelevant personnel had been evacuated, everyone began to make tense pre-war preparations. All kinds of protective magic and divine arts were displayed one by one, and the brilliant magical auras flickered for a while. If it were not remote enough, it would immediately attract a large number of onlookers.
After pouring five bottles of bad-tasting potions in one breath, the dwarf pursed his mouth and whispered: “Oh, I hate these **** potions. If I drink it again, my stomach will burst.”
“If you don’t drink it all, I promise those undead creatures will blow your stomach up, so drink it obediently. You know, these potions in front of you are worth four thousand gold coins, so if you feel nauseous, it’s best Hold it back and don’t spit it out.” Edwina reminded maliciously. Since she changed (sex), her heart has been darkened a lot, as long as she sees someone unlucky, she will feel a sense of pleasure.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t provoke a berserker at this time. You know, it’s him who is responsible for protecting you from casting spells for a while. But now you need to be careful, maybe an axe will fall from the sky sometime.” Conya showed a meaningful look when she finished speaking. In her eyes, the Hongpao Mage was a complete idiot, who hadn’t even noticed it when he died.
“Well, that’s the end of the excessive joke. Edwin… Na, of course, you can ignore the last word if you don’t like it. Remember, as soon as you see the enemy appear, you can immediately use these as powerful and powerful. Throw all the boxes out.” As he said, Henry handed over all the remaining alchemical explosives. He had already prepared his hands and feet in advance, and he only needed to recite a spell, and it would all explode in an instant.
Edwin cautiously trapped these gem-studded boxes in his belt, and then nodded slightly. “Don’t worry, this job is not difficult, I will complete it perfectly. Don’t forget your promise, and be sure to help me get back to the original state as soon as possible.”
“Of course, I’ve always done what I said.” After saying that, a sneer that was not easily detectable was drawn across Henry’s face. He doesn’t think that the red-robed mage in front of him can survive this fierce battle. He needs to know that all the light and heat that are just erupting can burn a person to ashes and even resurrect him within a second. There are difficulties.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Henry took the thief’s stone and came to the gate. Suddenly, the gem in his hand gleamed brightly, and then disappeared without a trace. Everyone only felt that their bodies were being pulled by some force, and there was an inexplicable darkness in front of them, and they appeared in the dim basement.
Faid first noticed the sign on the floor under his feet. It was a humanoid figure with a hood and an invisible face. There were five shining stars above the hood. The purple light shining from the wall revealed mystery, darkness, and waves of abnormal magic hair fluctuations. Obviously, this is the most important stronghold of the Magic Talisman in Amn, a very, very small semi-plane, basically about the size of the lobby of a luxury villa.
“Wow! I didn’t expect that these undead creatures are quite emotional. Do you know? The purple and dark red are used in the (desire) look of the Menzoberlite tavern.” Viconia Said in an ironic tone. It should be understood that “between desires (and hopes is a place where special services are provided, and its function is roughly similar to that of a courtyard on the ground.
Kogen looked around and asked in a low voice, “Damn! Why didn’t I see the enemy! Are these cowards all hiding?”
Henry smiled and shook his head and replied: “On the contrary, they have just arrived.”
His voice just fell A firelight suddenly lit up from the ground, extending along a specific trajectory to the center of the stone table in the room inside, forming a strange phenomenon in almost less than two seconds. The pattern looks like a circle surrounded by a triangle, and then a circle, and so on until the small one is invisible. At the same time, seven purple chairs rose on the ground, and a buzzing sound began to echo between the walls.
“Everyone is ready to fight, because the terrifying enemy is about to appear.” As he said, Henry took out the golden book and turned it into a golem, and also took out the activated shield made some time ago. He is familiar with this sound, and it buzzes only when the portal is activated.
The flame in the middle of the round table burned more and more vigorously, and finally gradually formed a person’s shadow, and it was gradually becoming clearer. After just a few seconds, a lich exuding fear aura and negative energy finally appeared on the spot.
