Chapter 22 Thieves Guild and Animal Companions

Henry followed the thief into a room, and saw him tap the wall a few times and a secret door appeared. The thief pointed to the secret door, motioned him to go in, then turned around and went out to continue the night watch. Henry entered a hall after passing through the secret door. There were many trade union members wearing cloaks and hoods, some standing in the corner, and some squatting on the ground. The conversations between them were very quiet, and others could hardly hear them clearly.

After scanning the hall, Henry continued to walk in, but was stopped by a dagger just as he was about to enter a room. "This is the boss's room. Unrelated persons are not allowed to enter. Tell me why you are here." A masked thief by the door said to him. He exposed his hands from the inside of his robe and put them in a conspicuous place to show that he was not hostile and said, "I am here to buy a message on behalf of Master Ramasis."

"Sorry, please wait for me to go in and report." After speaking, he turned and opened the door to enter the room. A minute later, the masked thief came out and said to Henry: "Boss said you can go in." Henry smiled at him. "Thank you." Then he walked in and closed the door behind him.

When I entered the room, I found that there were only simple furnishings, a desk, two chairs and a bookshelf. Sitting on the chair was a black-haired middle-aged man in his thirties, with short black fluffy hair and a pair of sharp eagle eyes. He also has a beautiful goatee on his chin. Seeing Henry walking in, the man stood up and said in an exaggerated tone: "Welcome, my little friend! Please take it easy. Put your weapons away. Don't be hostile. What news do you want to buy here? Oh, I should start with myself Let me introduce you. You can call me Mr. Aratus." After speaking, he made a hat-off that he thought was elegant.

Henry smiled at him and bowed. "Hello, respected Mr. Ararat. Master Lamasis introduced me to buy a message. I want to know where there are adult pterosaurs appearing recently."

"Adult pterosaur? That's a really hard monster to deal with. But we can always meet the customer's request." As he spoke, he began to rummage through a pile of parchment on the table. After searching for a while, I took out one of them and laughed. "Aha, I found it. If you want to buy this information, you need 500 gold coins. I lost two good players in the union just to get this information."

"Here are 500 gold coins." Henry took out the gold coins from the dimension bag and piled them on the table and said to him. Aratus glanced at the dimension bag and began to count the gold coins on the table. After confirming that there is no problem, he said to Henry: "Our spies got news that pterosaurs were found in the depths of the cloak forest, and there were a lot of them. But it is the territory of the shadow druids, you know they are not very friendly, and the city It is regarded as a scar on the earth. Anyone who enters at will will be attacked by druids and animals inside."

Henry nodded after listening. "Okay, the information is very detailed. In addition, I want to ask another question, can you train professional thieves for me here?"

"Training thieves for you? What is the number? You must know that our training death rate is not low." Alates frowned and asked.

"There is only one, but I need you to ensure that he is alive. And there cannot be any irreversible damage or disability. Of course I will pay you a satisfactory reward, such as this." After speaking, Henry took out his invisibility ring from the universe bag It flickered in front of Alates' eyes.

The bandit leader tried to seize the ring but was unsuccessful. Henry held the ring in his palm and smiled at him. "How are you thinking? Mr. Arates." The thief leader fixed his eyes on his hand. "No problem, give me that magic ring now."

Henry stood up and tossed the ring to him. "I'll bring him tomorrow morning, remember to keep him safe." After receiving the ring, Alates quickly put it on his finger and stroked it gently. Suddenly he shouted at Henry who was about to leave: "Wait, you haven't said what this ring is for." Henry turned around and smiled, his smile was so deceitful. "Look, I know that you have some special channels to get some rare items and materials. I hope you can also provide me with this channel? Of course I will pay gold coins."

Arates' face was quite ugly, obviously he was severely tricked. After a lot of struggle, I finally compromised. "Okay, I agree to your request. In the future, if you come to the trade union in person or send someone regularly, I will show you some special goods. Now tell me what it does."

Henry gently took off the ring from him and put it on his hand, touching the gem lightly. A burst of magical ripples flashed by and he disappeared in place. Then it reappeared in place. "The invisibility ring, once a day, the invisibility lasts for 24 hours. Touch the gem with your finger to activate it, and you can use it again after 24 hours. I think you are familiar with the magic of invisibility. I won't explain the precautions to you." After saying that, he returned the ring to Alates and left the Thieves Guild.

On the way back to the Elven Song Inn, Henry was a little proud. An invisibility ring took out the leader of the largest Thieves Guild in the Baldur's Gate area. Maybe magic items of this level are relatively easy to buy in the wealthy Amn region, but the value of this ring can be multiplied several times in the Baldur's Gate region where mages are scarce.

The next day, Henry asked the bartender of Elven Song to look after Amy, and then took Robert to the Thieves Guild. Seeing Alates, he said to him: "This is my man, and I want him to receive the most rigorous training. And you must ensure his safety." "Don't worry, I will train him personally. After all, you paid For the reward that makes my heart beat." As he spoke, he lit up the ring in his hand.

"Okay boy, get ready to go to hell for the next few days." The thief leader said threateningly to the young boy. Robert replied blankly: "I've already been to hell, sir." Alatus turned around and looked at Robert with bright eyes and said, "Oh! Well said boy, what a cool word. How can I I didn't think of that. I hope you can say that again tomorrow."

After watching the slightly funny performance of the two, Henry said: "Okay, I'll hand him over to you, and now I'm going to hunt pterosaurs. Do you have any suggestions?" "Suggestions? I suggest that you better bring a An army and a defensive crossbow." After gritting his teeth, Alates turned around and took Robert to the basement.

"A giant crossbow? That's a controlled weapon. I can't get it for the time being." Henry thought for a while and decided not to worry about it. First go to the shadow druid's residence to inquire about the situation, anyway, I am also a druid. Afterwards, they went to the street for crazy purchases. Food, salt, spices, flint, sleeping bags, tents, stoves, marching pots, and a lot of things were stuffed into the dimensional bag. After shopping, I went to the witchcraft grocery store to say goodbye to Master Habasser and left the city.

Go through the mouth of the Dragon Bridge and head south. After passing the burg village, turn to the northwest after the friendly arm coast road. After several days of trekking, I finally came to the outskirts of the Cloak Forest. Henry looked at the sky and decided to camp here today. After all, it is not a good idea to enter the forest at night. He pitched the tent, set up a bonfire and began to prepare dinner. After picking some non-toxic mushrooms under the tree, he took out the pot and washed it briefly, and put the bacon and mushrooms into the pot to cook slowly. Put some spices and chopped green onion when the pot is boiling. After a while, the fragrance wafted out.

Open the pot and put some salt to taste it, the taste is just right. It was a brown bear that suddenly came out of the woods, swayed slowly next to Henry and sat down to stare at the pot and start drooling. Henry was a little dazed, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly used Understanding Animals on the bear, and then realized that this big-looking guy was only eight months old. My mother was besieged by several giant spiders. Although she fought desperately to kill all the intruding spiders, she was also poisoned and died. He hunted several times along the way without success due to lack of experience. He hadn't eaten for three days.

Looking at this simple and honest poor Henry Bear, there is no way to refuse to share food with it. I had no choice but to take out a pot and fill him with half a pot of soup and a dozen loaves of bread that had begun to harden. One person and one bear each eat their own food. Henry observed the brown bear while eating. You must know that this is not the brown bear on the earth, which can only grow to 3~4 meters. Brown bears on the continent of Faerun can reach 5-6 meters when they grow up. Some can grow up to 8 meters. Their huge size gives them unparalleled strength. Thick hair and fat form a natural armor. Ordinary arrows can only tickle them. But even if the one in front of him is not yet an adult, it is more than 3 meters in size, and it is still a bit thin. Because of being hungry for several days, the coat color is not bright.

After eating, Henry said to the bear: "Little guy, you need to do something for me after eating my meal. How about guarding outside the tent tonight." The ability to understand animals accurately conveyed his mean. Xiong also understood, nodded his head and hummed a few times, then lay down at the door of the tent, closed his eyes and began to rest. Henry patted its head and went into the tent to sleep.

The sun was rising from the horizon in the early morning, and Henry felt that it was dawn and crawled out of his sleeping bag. Walking out of the tent, the brown bear suddenly opened its closed eyes, and when it saw him, it stood up and licked his hand flatteringly. "What a cute little guy, why don't you come to be my animal companion?" Henry suddenly thought that his druid career didn't have an animal companion yet. The brown bear nodded after understanding what he meant.

Then Henry made some breakfast to feed the bear and himself. Then release the magic girl Louise for vigilance. He and the bear both begin the ritual of animal companionship. After a full day the ceremony was successful and the bear was now his partner. He gave the bear a mighty name called Ares, and Henry hoped that the bear would run rampant like a god of war in future adventures.

The tired man and the bear both went to sleep together after eating a lot of food. After being vigilant for a day, the pixie also got into Henry's pocket to rest. —————————————————————————————————
