Chapter 245: Emissary from Amn

"Hello, servant of Tamora, the goddess of luck. I heard that you have a precious "Book of Understanding" in your hand. I don't know if you can sell it to us." As soon as he met, Apodell went straight to the subject.

The priest frowned slightly. We must know that the "Book of Understanding" is very important to any pastor. It can help them understand the thoughts of the gods more and gain more grace. He didn't hesitate to shook his head and refused: "Sorry, I have no plans to sell it yet."

"Sir, we are all infected with a special toxin now. If we don't have this book, everyone would die. If you don't believe it, you can use magic to check it." Imoen heard that the other party did not intend to sell it, and hurriedly Hastily got together to tell the reason of the matter.

"My god! Who on earth did you offend? You were actually poisoned with this vicious alchemy poison." The priest asked in surprise after checking.

Apodale smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm sorry, we can't say it for the time being. But don't worry, our gold coins are still rich, and we will definitely not let you lose too much."

The pastor reluctantly took out a native yellow book from his arms and handed it over. "Hey! Take it. Forget the money. If you are interested, donate some to the temple, as much as you want."

Without hesitation, Apodel poured out a whole pile from his magic pocket, probably more than 10,000 ancient gold coins. He bowed deeply to the priest. "Thank you very much for your selfless behavior. The money represents our respect to the goddess, please accept it."

"This...this is too much." The priest was surprised to see a large pool of gold coins on the ground. It was the first time he saw such a generous donation. You must know that even wealthy merchants and nobles generally donate only one or two hundred gold coins at most. These are almost the sum of the income of the entire temple for several years.

"We can't make up for your loss, so we have to express our gratitude in this way. You are a good person, so you deserve to be rewarded." After speaking, Apodell took everyone and left the temple, leaving the priest alone in the original place. In a daze.

As soon as he left the temple, Imoen jumped up happily. "Haha, we finally got this book! Unexpectedly, the priest of the Goddess of Luck is so talkative. Maybe I should put this goddess in the arms too."

"Yeah, our luck is really good. Now that we have got the "Book of Understanding", let's change the curse-solving scroll quickly. I can't wait to get these **** toxins out of my body." Apodell Put the books next to you, for fear of losing one by accident.

Just as they were about to cross the street to the dock area, a dark shadow suddenly came out from the corner and blocked everyone's way. This shadow is not someone else, it is Robert who has been monitoring the movement of the entire city. He raised his hands to show that he was not hostile, then took out a badge from his body and threw it in the past.

"I think you should know this. The owner of the badge asked me to invite you to his home as a guest."

Apodale recognized Henry's badge of nobility at a glance. He looked carefully at the thief in front of him. "How do I know if you are telling the truth? Maybe you stole it from other places."

"Hahahaha! No thief in this city can steal anything from his pocket without the owner discovering it." Robert laughed and shook his head.

Jasila nodded slightly. "He's right, and the location of Henry's mansion is very conspicuous. There is no way to fake it just by that."

"What are you waiting for? I haven't seen what the mansion of the nobleman looks like. It happened to be hiding in Tibet for these two days, and I couldn't even eat a hot meal. And I haven't taken a bath for a long time. Rotten taste." Imoen complained, touching the curling hair.

Robert smiled and shook his head. "In that case. Come with me. But you'd better be careful and don't let anyone find out. This is an extraordinary period, and there are quite a few spies stalking at the entrance of the Earls Mansion."

A group of people kept going around in the narrow alleys, and arrived at the back door of Henry's mansion more than half an hour later. Looking at the towering walls and huge buildings, Apodale sighed: "Oh! My God! This guy is really rich and powerful. This house alone is probably only comparable to the mansions of a few dukes."

"Speak down! If you don't want to be spotted by enemy spies." Robert glared at him, then took out a hook from his toolkit and hung it on the wall.

The crowd surreptitiously followed the rope over the courtyard wall and came to the back garden of the mansion. Because it is now in spring. The large flowerbeds are blooming with colorful flowers, which are very beautiful at a glance. Imoen grew his mouth and looked at the beauty in front of him, but he didn't recover for a long time. Robert led them quickly through the garden, and slipped in quietly through the back door. After placing everyone in a hidden room, he locked the door behind him and ran upstairs.

Henry has slept for eight hours and is sitting in the study, sorting out the magic books stolen from the Candle Holder. All he needs to do now is to wait, as long as the soldiers from Bluewent arrive. Immediately you can unite with Duke Anta Silver Shield to open the trump card. At that time, when Shalovk killed the other two dukes, he would be defeated in one fell swoop. Finally, enter the underground temple with Apodale to kill him.

Suddenly, the door of the study room was opened. Robert walked in quickly and bowed. "Master, the person you want has arrived. In addition, I also found out that Amn's messenger has come to Baldur's Gate and is currently living on the way to it."

"I see. Let them take a bath first, and then tell the kitchen to prepare some wine and food. When I finish meeting Amn's messenger, I will go down and see them..." Henry said without looking up. He continued to classify the books stolen from Candlestick and put them in the bookshelf in order. There is a lot of knowledge here that is scattered, and it is impossible to read it without sorting it out.

The housekeeper quickly moved the kitchen. A series of exquisite meals and good wine glasses were brought to the table. For Apodale and others, who had been hiding in Tibet for a day and a night, and hadn't had a good meal at all. This is simply the treat you have always dreamed of. While they were devouring, Robert quietly led Amn's secret agent from the back door to the study.

Seeing the messenger who was completely hidden under the cloak, Henry stopped his work and bowed with a smile on his face. "Welcome to my mansion. I'm sorry to meet you in such a sneaky way. After all, the relationship between Baldur's Gate and Amn is a bit strained. I heard that both sides have begun to increase their troops at the border. Maybe it will not take long. stand up."

The messenger paid a gift first, and then took off his cloak. This is a mature woman in her thirties with long blonde hair. Judging from her graceful movements and steps, she should be a well-educated nobleman or businessman. She hung the cloak on the hanger, then came to Henry and leaned slightly.

"It's very nice to meet you, count. My name is Lisa, so I won't say too much politely. I just got the information that you have a very elite army on the way to this city. The six-member council is urgent. I want to know which side you are on. We need to know that your territory conducts a huge amount of trade with Amn every year. We don't want an important trading partner to become an enemy."

Seeing the aggressive messenger, Henry smiled and waved his hand. "Madam, I think the six-member council must have given you certain authority. Don't say these meaningless words, just tell us your terms of wooing."

"Hey. You are really a devil who can see through people's hearts." Lisa sighed slightly. "The six-member council hopes to prevent this war from happening. If it succeeds, we can give you all the land north of Yunwu Mountain, including Nasikai."

Henry touched the scum on his face, with an imperceptible smile on his face. He stood up and took out a map of the West Coast. After staring for a while, he said to the messenger: "The southern border of Ammu must have been very uneasy recently? Is it true that the two cities of "Ryan Tawen" and "Trace Stone" want to betray Tethyr in the south. ?"

"How do you know such a secret thing?!" Lisa's eyes widened and stood up in panic.

Henry looked at the famous messenger with an unkind smile on his face. No wonder Amn’s recent actions are a bit abnormal. It turned out that there was a problem with the two cities on the southern border. Now that I understood the other party's dilemma, I would be too sorry for myself if I didn't slaughter him severely. After quieting the lady, he pointed to the green field east of Belgoost on the map.

"I can agree to your terms, but I will also add all the farmland and villages in Amn. If you want to stop this war, it will be tantamount to setting off a large-scale turmoil in this city. I have to bear it. Great political risk."

Lisa frowned and began to calculate the gains and losses. Naxikai’s iron ore was originally supplied to the north, and even if it was ceded out, it would only lose a small amount of gold coins. But the green fields are different. The large tracts of farms there produce food suppliers mostly in the Amn region~www.ltnovel.com~, but the two southern cities are more important. Once they rebel, not only will they lose a large area of ​​land, but they will also easily trigger a chain reaction. Once this precedent is set, other cities in Amn are likely to follow suit.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lisa finally agreed. "I can agree to your terms. However, the food produced in the green fields must be given priority to Amn, otherwise most of Amn will fall into famine due to lack of food."

Henry nodded. "This is no problem at all. You should know my attitude towards business. In addition to keeping a certain amount of strategic reserves, everything else can be traded."

"In that case, let's sign a contract." As Lisa took out a piece of parchment with the mark of the guardian **** Heim from her underwear, she began to write the terms just negotiated on it.

Lisa writes very fast, writing all the content in a few minutes. Henry checked it carefully and signed his name after confirming that there were no loopholes. After both parties had signed the letters, the blue eyes of the holy emblem on this piece of paper suddenly popped out. It scanned the contract and immediately returned to the paper.
