Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 41 The Dragon and Gold Tribulation ([-])

The next morning, Imrik and Apollo came to Dunan's Tavern. This young man from a rich family who was full of flirtatious fantasies changed into a full body of black armor this time, and he also wore an enchanted long sword with a shining magic aura on his waist.

When they arrived at the tavern, they found that Varo hadn't arrived yet, so Imrik and Apollo found a seat and sat down first.

"Have an onion and cheese soup, a ham platter, and a buttermilk scone." Imric called the tavern waiter and ordered a few while staring at the breakfast menu.

"Do you want to eat?" He asked Apollo by the way.

"Of course, give me a Talis (Dunan's Tavern special made of crackers, sausages, cheese, and herbs)." Apollo pretended to be very skilled and ordered a Dunan Tavern special.

"Actually, I haven't eaten the food here, so I don't know if it's good or not." After the waiter left, Apollo whispered to Imrik.

The black-robed mage smiled perfunctorily and said, "The taste is not bad."

Apollo looked left and right excitedly, it seemed that this kind of adventurer's daily life was very attractive to him.

The black-robed mage shook his head, waited for the dishes to be served, and immersed himself in the food alone.

Not long after, there was a sudden noise in the tavern. The two looked up and found a chunky figure who had just entered through the door of the tavern. It was Walo.

"Hey! Valo! You are finally here, we can't wait any longer, where did you go this time?"

The adventurers couldn't help asking loudly, expecting Varo to tell where he went this time.

"Of course, of course, my friends, don't worry, listen to me slowly." Valo picked up a glass of beer, and while on the stage under the out-of-key sound of the young bard, he told his own experience.

Apollo was fascinated by listening to the scene, wishing to be in the scene. It was not until noon, when the tavern became more and more crowded, that Varo cleared his throat and announced the end of the speech.

After the end, seeing Valo drinking and resting alone at the table, Imrik called Apollo and sat down beside him.

"Hello, Your Excellency Varo, I am your loyal fan, can you sign an autograph for me!" Apollo took out a book and excitedly said to Varo.

"Of course, young man." Valo took the book with a smile.

"Mr. Valo, hello. I'm Imrik. I just listened to your speech. I'm curious if you have been to many places." Imrik also introduced himself.

Valo stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Of course, child, I have been to many places and met many great adventurers. Do you know Elminster, who used to sit in this tavern and listen to my chats!"

Imrik said with a look of admiration: "Really, you are so powerful. In fact, I am also a mage. My dream is to travel around the world, collect various spells and divine spells, and spread them to others."

Varo glanced at him in surprise: "The young man is really aggressive, hehe, I know a lot of talented mages, maybe I can introduce you to them when the time comes."

Imrik's eyes lit up: "That's great, Your Excellency Valo!"

Varo put down the beer in his hand, sighed and said, "Don't be so happy, I wonder if you can do me a favor?"

Imrik and Apollo looked at each other, and he said, "Of course, Lord Valo, I can help you with any questions."

Varo said with satisfaction: "It's like this. One of my friends, Fran Bregma, is missing. When I went to his house, he looked like he was kidnapped. I wonder if you can help me find him? As a reward, I will give you a piece of my property. Although it faces a wide dead end surrounded by old houses and shops, it is still very valuable."

Varo took out a land deed, a building deed in the North District.

The two nodded quickly, and Apollo said confidently: "Of course, don't worry, leave it to us, and promise to bring back your friend."

Imrik couldn't help but glanced back. Although he didn't want to bring an oil bottle, but the matter had come to this point, he had no choice but to let him join.

After the three discussed it, Imrik called the bartender, ordered a lot of food and wine again, chatted with Varo while eating, and learned a lot about foreign countries.

They sat around a solid wooden table, brightly lit with candles, and full of their freshly emptied plates and half-drunk wine glasses.

Three tables away, young bards played their harps out of tune, but the sound was no match for the howling of gamblers and the bellowing singing of drunken adventurers.

At this moment, a roar suddenly pierced through the noise: "You son of a bitch! Dare to kill my brother!"

With a bang, Imrik saw a two-meter-tall female half-orc being kicked flying by a bald male human, his clean-shaven skull covered in a tattoo in the shape of a giant eye.Behind him stood four humans, ready to join the fight anytime.

The orc broke her knuckles, growled, and lunged at the tattooed man—but before Imrik could see if there was blood splattering, the onlookers surrounded them, blocking view.

Valo screamed in fright at the side: "Oh, those men with giant eye tattoos are members of the Sanasa Guild, so they are not easy to mess with."

Imrik asked curiously: "The Sannatha Guild?"

"Yeah, this guild is not easy to mess with. Anyone can join the Sanasa guild. Although it is called a guild, it has not been officially certified by Waterdeep City.

Before being granted membership in a guild, however, applicants must pass a test that often involves a felony.This could include murdering a Shannasa guild member who has failed at something, kidnapping a citizen of Waterdeep, holding a ransom, or robbing a hire-carriage or warehouse. "

Listening to Valo's list of all kinds of crimes that must be committed by anyone who wants to join the guild, Apollo hammered the table angrily and said, "What a bunch of scum."

At this time, the crowd also dispersed. Unexpectedly, the bald man was beaten by the female half-orc and lay unconscious on the ground. The other four boys tried to hold the half-orc, but she also threw him out.

The four younger brothers didn't admit defeat, they got up and beat the half-orc with one punch and one kick. Two fists were no match for four hands, and the half-orc who was knocked unconscious by a sap also fell to the ground.

Just when the four younger brothers were about to take further action.

The owner of the tavern, Dunan, stepped in at this time. He held a magic giant sword shining with magical aura, pointed at the door and shouted to the other four younger brothers: "Get out!"

The minions of the Sanasa guild quickly raised their boss and ran out of the door.
