Chapter 2419 (ω‖)Can’t you eat first and then go?
soon!
The Ser Paladin Henk, who was in a hurry and did not hide any sadness on his face, took Edkin, Holgay, Simon and Doric to a stone house, which was the "Harper"
'A place of refuge for us.
It seemed that Edkin had been here before, so what was different from the other three who started to be curious and looked around after entering was that he didn't have too many expressions, nor did he look around.
He skillfully found an inconspicuous corner and leaned against the wall.
As for Anne…
All right!
She didn't follow at all!
Because the fish was really too big and couldn't enter such a dilapidated stone house with narrow doorways and passages, so of course she stayed in the yard outside the house and continued to tinker.
That big fish she caught with great difficulty.
I guess she is still talking about her "pouring more fish heads" and so on. Anyway, Edkin and others can't understand it. Maybe it's some novel way of making soup?
"Please feel free to do so."
"This is the Harper's Sanctuary. Your friend Edkin should be familiar with it, right?"
"Conversing here can avoid unnecessary eavesdropping."
Seeing the very different reactions of the three people and Edkin, Paladin Henk didn't say anything more. He just stretched out his hand and motioned for the four people to find a place to sit down.
"Say it!"
"Why are you dealing with Fudge?"
Then, he stood there with rows of bookshelves, piled with various books, but there were no windows on the four walls, so it was very dark in broad daylight, without much light, so he had to
He stood still indoors without lighting candles, paused and then continued to ask:
"besides!"
"How did you know that the mage next to him was the red-robed witch?"
"What specific conspiracy do they have?"
"Tell me everything you know, and then I will decide whether to trust you and help you."
After saying that, he used his sharp eyes to scan the faces of each person on the scene, a strange team composed of two wanted criminals, a warlock and a tiefling druid, and waited in silence.
.
"Why deal with Fauci?"
"It's because he stole Edkin's daughter Kira and a large amount of treasure that we deserve, so of course we have to destroy him!"
"correct!"
“He also occupied a ‘resurrection card’ that should have belonged to Edkin!”
Simon seemed to have completely believed in the paladin Henk, so he was the first to speak impatiently, and successfully made the other party frown.
"OK OK!"
"Simon!"
"Please, you don't have to tell him everything!"
Seeing this, Edkin, who was afraid that if he kept silent any longer, would be betrayed by these pig teammates, he first lamented in his heart, and then had to rush forward to yell at Simon, asking him to shut up before he helplessly said
He looked at the paladin Henk who was looking unhappy and explained in a nonchalant manner:
"Is such that……"
"In addition to what he just said, there are also reasons for Doric and Wood Elves!"
"I don't know if you have heard of it?"
"Because the wood elves questioned the legitimacy of his rule in Neverwinter, Fuch began to persecute and kill the wood elves not long ago, and also burned the wood elves' homes. The situation is now very bad, which is why
The main reason Doric chose to join my team."
"correct!"
"We must have talked about it before, right? She is the Druid of Emerald Green Courtyard. You should be familiar with Green Courtyard, right?"
"Even if she chooses to help us, doesn't that already explain something?"
At this point, Edkin found that after hearing the name of 'Green Garden', the expression of that Henk actually improved a little, so he continued to explain:
"You know, now that Fuch is the city lord, it is almost impossible to defeat him!"
"But fortunately, I thought of a good plan, that is: steal all his treasures, which are the basis for his rule. Without those, no matter how cunning and treacherous he is, his rule will be fast.
Just fall apart!”
"When the time comes, it will be much easier for us to deal with him, whether it's to save people or to crush some of his ulterior plots, right?"
"then!"
"The morning after Doric decided to join our team, she sneaked into Neverwinter City. You know, she is the Druid of the Green Garden. In addition to turning into a fawn, she can also turn into a deer.
All kinds of little animals, and then, she discovered Sofina’s identity as the red-robed witch!”
"Sofina is Fuch's advisor, the female mage who is inseparable from him. And Fuch knows her identity as a red robe witch and still takes her with him, which is enough to show that he must also be involved in the red robe wizards.
Some kind of evil conspiracy or plan."
"But now comes the problem!"
"If you want to crush the red robe witch's conspiracy, you must first defeat Fuch, the lord of Neverwinter!"
"And if you want to bring down Fudge, you must steal all his gold and silver treasures. Only that will make everything easier. Don't you object to this?"
"But……"
"If you want to steal all his treasures, you have to enter the treasure house of Neverwinter City. But the trouble is, Doric also saw at that time that there was a magic mark of Mordenkainen on the treasure house. That thing is very useful to him.
Simon, the chief warlock of our team, is an unsolvable being?"
"so!"
"His Excellency Henk Yenda, you should know how urgently we want to obtain the 'Helm of Law Breaking' that you keep, right?"
"Because Simon said that with it, there is a chance to crack Mordenkainen's mark. By then, all problems will be solved!"
"Then the helmet is the key!"
There is no doubt that Edkin is an eloquent bard and captain, and his basic skills are still very solid.
Isn’t this?
After finishing this long speech with clear logic, clear organization and sincere words, not only the face of the paladin Henk instantly became much better, showing a look of enlightenment, obviously he understood and accepted their words.
The reason for coming and the general understanding of their 'great' plan made even the three people who were watching, Holgai, Doric and Simon, feel a little more confident.
Of course, what Henk didn't know was that Edkin didn't even think about smashing the red robe witch's 'evil conspiracy' that probably didn't exist at all. He just wanted to steal Fudge.
All the money and getting back his precious daughter Kira.
As for everything else, it was all incidental, including of course helping Doric save the poor wood elf tribe. In fact, those were not his original purpose at all.
"I see."
Nodding, after listening to Edkin's words, and after thinking about it for a while, Paladin Henk was convinced by seven to eight points or even more.
After all, even people as far away as the Shield of Mobilion have heard of some of the rumors about Neverwinter, and he is certainly no exception.
If you think about it carefully, the way that Fudge became the lord is indeed very strange, and he also hangs out with the red-robed witch, which is indeed not a good sign.
"You are right to be concerned."
"If Fauci really got involved with the red witch, their purpose is definitely not just as simple as wanting power and wealth."
"Maybe you should listen to this?"
After saying that, he looked at the people present and found that Holgai, Simon and Doric had no objections to what Edkin said just now, and they all took it as a matter of course. Paladin Henk Yenda
After thinking for a while, he simply turned around and walked to a bookshelf, picked up a thick book, opened one of the pages, and began to explain a past event to the four of them.
"Probably more than a century ago..."
"Sazastan is one of the eight great red wizards who rule the country of Ser."
"But, on the eve of the solstice..."
"Everything has changed."
In this way, amid everyone's curiosity or impatience (the impatient one was of course Edkin, who had obviously heard about it more than once), the paladin Henk Yanda slowly told the story of the terrible experience he had personally experienced that year.
The scene was slowly told to everyone.
"That day..."
"The people of the capital of Cyril gathered together to celebrate that great festival. However, what they and the rest of the red mages of the Chief Council did not know was that a huge conspiracy was surrounding them all."
"Sazastan obviously has his own plan, and he has been waiting for that moment for a long time. It is a long-planned evil conspiracy!"
"At a certain moment, when one of the red-clothed archmages was giving an impassioned speech, he suddenly launched his evil coup in full view of everyone!"
"The scarlet evil energy filled the sky of the entire capital like twisted blood vessels. Amidst the lightning and thunder, the evil revived..."
"He unleashed his evil magic..."
"'Scarlet Calls Death', a terrible spell that will swallow everyone's soul!"
"With the assistance of his evil cultists and a large number of red-robed wizard disciples, Sazastan created the first batch of undead legions, including several other red-robed archmages, and he completed his coup
, and from then on, Serge truly became synonymous with evil."
After telling the story of Ser and Sazastan, Paladin Henk Yenda stopped, as if he was remembering something.
"Everyone!"
"Although so far, the death terror in Sazhastan has shown no signs of spreading to any areas outside of Cyre, I believe that he will not be satisfied with just ruling Cyre."
"Neverwinter City is probably his next target!"
"You must be more vigilant!"
Soon, Henk came back to his senses and solemnly expressed his judgment, thinking that the guesses of Edkin and others were basically correct, and Fuch and the red-robed witch beside him were probably really...
Carrying out some evil plot in Sazastan.
"alright!"
"His Excellency Henk Janda!"
"Please stop giving us history lessons. The red-robed wizard is a bad guy, everyone knows it!"
"The evil and terrible nature of Sazastan is also well known!"
"Since you have no objection..."
Edkin was already very impatient, because this place made him feel uncomfortable all over, and he didn't want to stay any longer!
"Then please give us your helmet, let us bring down Fauci, and then crush their conspiracy!"
"May I?"
Of course, what also made him very uncomfortable was the serious face of Paladin Henk Yanda.
"..."
Paladin Henk Janda did not answer, but just looked at Edkin.
"Feel sorry."
"Can't!"
Then, in Edkin's astonishment, the other party firmly shook his head.
"!?"
"Why is this?"
"Didn't you just agree with our plan?"
"that is!"
"The only thing missing from our plan is the helmet."
"Your Majesty Paladin?"
"Please, lend it to us!"
After the paladin shook his head, of course, Simon, Doric, Edkin and others started exclaiming, clamoring and pleading.
"Everyone!"
"Since it doesn't make sense, then I suggest you just use the robbery?"
The barbarian female warrior Holgai, of course, quietly picked up her battle ax very skillfully and wanted to directly use the method she was best at.
"Everyone!"
"Please take your time?"
Still keeping a straight face and extending his hand to signal the four of them to calm down, the paladin Henk continued to explain slowly:
"That helmet..."
"I'll give it to you, I promise!"
"but……"
"The helmet isn't here now, I put it somewhere."
Then, under the eager gazes of the four people, he spoke so calmly.
"No more?"
"where?"
Edkin felt anxious and asked directly.
"Don't worry yet!"
"Before that, Edkin, I need you to give me a guarantee first!"
When the conversation changed, the paladin Henk didn't even mention the helmet. He just looked at Edkin with a half-smile and added unhurriedly:
"I need your promise..."
"The treasures obtained from Neverwinter City will be used to help those in need!"
After hearing Henk's words, everyone, including Edkin, fell silent.
"Do you trust my word?"
"Let me remind you, I am a former Harper who broke my promise!"
"Still a wanted criminal!"
Edkin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party only needed his empty words. That really surprised him.
"No……"
"Although you broke your oath, but..."
"Your oath has never betrayed you!"
Shaking his head, Henk didn't care about Edkin's self-deprecation, he still waited stubbornly, he just wanted a promise from Edkin.
"..."
Now, it was Edkin's turn to be silent.
perhaps……
Is this the main reason why he has been reluctant to come to the Shield of Mobilion and face the Serb paladin in front of him?
"Hello!"
"Just say whatever you want, it's just one sentence!"
"Hurry up!"
Seeing Edkin's hesitation, Holgay became impatient and stepped forward and touched his ribs angrily, signaling him to hurry up and deal with the opponent.
"I-I promise!"
"I promise that I will...distribute the stolen treasures to those who need them..."
For a long time, Edkin hesitated for a long time, and then under the look in Henk's eyes and the impatient urgings of Holgay on the side, he reluctantly put his hand on a harpist's manual that Henk had found and hesitated.
He finished his oath hesitantly.
"alright!"
"Tell us, where is that thing?"
Then as soon as he finished speaking, he asked again impatiently.
"Anyway!"
"It is not a good thing for a red-robed wizard to appear in Neverwinter City. I will be responsible for investigating and reporting this matter."
Unfortunately, that Henk didn't say anything. He just put the manual into Edkin's hand first, then looked at the others and said with emotion:
"certainly!"
"Before that, I will find the helmet for you first!"
"Then you can implement your plan, although I'm not very optimistic about it..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped, as if he didn't want to undermine the confidence of the people present, so he didn't continue.
"That……"
"You agreed to give us helmets?"
Seeing that things were going well, Simon hurried forward and asked anxiously.
"Yes!"
"Isn't that what you think?"
As he said that, he looked at the four people again, and then Henk actually started packing his things, picking up his armor, weapons and some items, not knowing what he wanted to do.
"Hello!"
"What are you doing?"
"Where's the helmet?"
Edkin doesn't care about the other party's nonsense. He just wants to get the helmet quickly and leave here, far away!
"Of course I'm going to a secret place!"
"Come with me."
After simply packing up his things and putting on his armor, fastening it quickly in a few clicks, the paladin Henk motioned for the four of them to follow him out.
"now?"
"But!"
"We have just arrived, why don't we fix it for a day first?"
"I haven't showered in days!"
However, the female barbarian warrior Holgai seemed a little reluctant, so she started complaining at the top of her lungs.
"The red-robed witch is now in Neverwinter City. Every moment of delay, people are in greater danger!"
"so!"
"We have to move fast!"
After saying that, the paladin Henk stopped talking, picked up his long sword and strode towards the outside of the stone house.
"Let's go..."
"See what tricks he plays?"
Although Edkin wanted to say that the conspiracy of the Red Witch was just made up by them, he had never heard of the other party's plan at all. Anyway, Doric didn't hear it at the time!
However, since the other party was so active, if he revealed the matter at this time, his plan would probably be ruined, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow him out quickly.
…
Then, as soon as everyone went out, they naturally saw Annie stepping on the big head of the reef toothfish, holding a large knife in her hand and gesticulating in a cute way.
"Eh?"
()
"Are you done talking?"
(*^▽^*)
Of course Anne saw everyone's appearance, so she quickly hid the large knife in her hand behind her back and asked.
"Yes!"
"Come on Annie, let's go to the dungeon!"
Holgai just glanced at the big fish, and then followed the crowd forward, waving his hands and saying hello.
"Dungeon?"
(°ー°〃)
"Why are you going to the dungeon?"
ヾ(｀)ノ
"Aren't we here to get helmets?"
く(＾_)ゝ
Anne was a little confused and didn't know what this group of people was doing.
"because!"
"The helmet is in the dungeon!"
Before Holgai could answer, Simon explained this loudly.
"..."
(**;)
"What about this big fish?"
!(;o)o
"I also want to eat fish head with chopped pepper tonight!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
Unexpectedly, there would be such a change, and Anne couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"brat!"
“You can eat your over-the-top fish head here!”
"You can also follow me immediately?"
Edkin didn't care about that much, he just followed the resolute paladin Henk and walked quickly towards the place where they stored the horses, replying without looking back.
"Can't you finish your meal first and then go?"
(ω‖)
"..."
()
Seeing that those people really didn't seem to want to wait for her, Annie had no choice but to look at the big fish at her feet, and then at the few people walking away. She hesitated again and again, and finally stamped her feet bitterly, and then gave up resolutely.
After grabbing the big fish and the large knife in his hand, he had to use his short legs to quickly chase after those people.
"Uncle Edkin, do you know that it's really annoying for you to be like this?"
(`^)
"Hey! Wait!"
(﹏,)
"Isn't it okay if someone else comes with you?"
°(°°)°
Anyway, there were a lot of them in the bay, so Annie thought about it again and again, and finally had to decide: She wasn't very good at making fish heads or anything like that, so maybe she could wait until the next time she comes here to eat them?
