Broad World

The next morning, Henry came to the Druid Valley on Emerald Island, where the apprentices had already started a day of practice. Now that there is a good role model, everyone starts to get excited. Those who have been slaves for a while understand that once they become a druid, they will get great benefits.

Henry called these apprentices together and said to them: "I got the news yesterday that one of you named Mike has become a first-level druid. Who is it now to stand up?"

After speaking, a small boy with freckles squeezed out from behind the crowd, and he saluted Henry a little nervously. "My lord, I am Mike."

Henry lowered his head and said to the boy who looked less than fourteen years old: "Mike, you did a good job. Now tell me what you understand naturally."

Mike lowered his head and thought for a while and replied: "Nature is nature. It exists everywhere. It is not limited to forests, animals and plants. The sky is a part of nature just like the sea."

This answer surprised Henry a little. Most people in this world, including gods, think that nature is just the forest and the animals and plants that live in it.

After sorting out his thoughts, he said to the boy: "Mike, your idea is very unique. Now that you are a first-level druid, you will be my apprentice from today, and you can call me a teacher in the future. Just after finishing speaking, the other apprentices looked at Mike with envious eyes, and the boy asked in a trembling voice: "Really? That's great! Teacher, I will work harder to learn how to protect nature in the future, and I will definitely not let you You are disappointed."

Henry stretched out his hand and touched his head and said to the others: "You also have to work hard to become a qualified druid as soon as possible. In the future, when I am not here, everyone must obey Mike's orders." Then Henry taught Mike After some knowledge, I left the Druid Valley.

When he returned to the lord's mansion, he found that Hawke was sitting alone in the living room as if there was something wrong. After seeing Henry appearing, Hawke hurriedly stood up and saluted. "The Earl's territory has stabilized now, and I want to go back to Waterdeep City to pick up my wife and daughter. It happens that there will be a ship at the pier tomorrow to deliver a batch of weapons there, and I want to ask you for a leave of absence."

Henry thought for a while, and he was about to do some things, and buy some special metals and materials by the way. And he also wanted to see this famous port in the north with his own eyes. "No problem Sir, I just want to go to buy some things. Please arrange a few more places for me tomorrow." He raised his head and said to Hawke.

The old captain breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem Earl, I will make arrangements right now. I will show you around Waterdeep City when I arrive. You must know that I was born in Waterdeep City, and no one knows the streets and alleys there better than me."

Henry nodded. "It would be best if you could help me contact a few capable miners. I am in great need of some ores such as mithril, adamantine, and cold iron. I am also interested in the corpses or blood of other alien creatures."

Hawke thought for a moment. "This is a little difficult, but I can help you find out. If there is nothing else, I will resign first, and I will go to the city hall to arrange the handover work."

Henry looked at the anxious old man and said, "Then please go ahead, I'm just going to inform the other passengers." After speaking, Hawke bowed, turned and left the lord's mansion and got on the carriage parked at the door, and then It started slowly and drove towards the city center.

Henry waited until he left and told the butler standing aside: "Notify my wife and mother, just say that I have something to go to Waterdeep City. Let's have dinner together tonight." The butler turned and left after receiving the order.

Sitting on the chair in the living room, he began to think about who to bring with him this time. Robert must not be able to do it. The young leader of thieves has to issue orders and process a lot of information every day. Cagan left the territory for his hometown and has not returned yet. Amy is a good candidate, but her warlock blood seems to be in a special period now, maybe next time. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to take the half-orc warrior Vaughan and the female mage Debra who had nothing to do all day. Finally, bring the brown bear Ares. This big guy has been doing a bear cub exercise with the female bear in the forest recently. Henry hasn't summoned it for a long time.

After deciding on the candidate, he first notified Debra with a message technique, and then asked the servant to go to the barracks to inform Vaughn. As for Ares, he stood directly on the balcony and used the druid's special ability to call. In the evening, Vaughan appeared in the lord's mansion fully armed, and Ares also ran out of the forest not long after. Its huge size caused a lot of commotion, and the servants turned around and ran away in fright. Henry walked up to it and stretched out his hand, he could no longer reach Ares' head. The length of this big guy has exceeded seven meters, and his height has also increased a lot. The brown bear lowered its head, gently hugged its nose, arched Henry, and hummed a few times, then lay down on the spot.

Henry touched its ears. "You grow up really fast. It seems that you can only stay on the deck when sailing at sea."

After instructing the housekeeper to let the kitchen prepare some meat for Ares' dinner, Henry returned to the dining table and sat down. Seeing her husband sitting down, Shikodi asked softly, "Honey, I heard that you are going to visit Waterdeep City?"

Henry turned his head and replied: "Yes, I have a lot of things to buy. It is obviously a good idea to go to the most prosperous port in the entire north, and Sir Hawke is also going to pick up his wife and daughter."

Shi Kodi was slightly taken aback. "Hawk actually has a wife and daughter? Why haven't I heard him mention it?"

Henry looked at his wife and smiled. "He should have only mentioned to me once that he would take them over after the territory stabilized. Don't you think it's the right time now?"

Shikodi covered her mouth with her hands and smiled. "That's great, I can often invite his wife and daughter to our house as guests in the future. I'm bored when you're not at home." After a few minutes, the butler and the maid brought the dinner, and everyone They all began to eat in silence. The half-orc Vaughan looked at the gentle eating of the others, shook his head slightly, opened his mouth and stuffed it violently. Fortunately, this is not the first time he has eaten in front of everyone, and everyone has already seen it. After dinner, the butler brought Vaughan into the guest room, while Henry carried his wife back to the bedroom.

The night passed quickly, and Henry brought Ares and Vaughn to the pier the next morning. Hawke and Debra had been waiting here for a long time. He walked over and said to them, "Since everyone is here, let's set off. It will take a long time to sail to Waterdeep City."

Hawk said with a smile: "It only takes more than ten days to reach the destination from Bruwent, which is much closer than the last time I went to Luskan. And there will not be many pirates along the way. I think this trip The journey will definitely be very easy." After speaking, everyone started to board the ship. There was a little accident when Ares boarded the deck. First, the hull shook violently, and then the sailors were scared enough. Hawke quickly explained to the crew, and they were all relieved to hear that the big brown bear was Henry's animal companion. Ares ignored the others, and found a spacious place to lie down and start basking in the sun.

Following the captain's order, the ship slowly left the port and began sailing north. Looking at the city that was fading away, Debra said to Henry: "Master, what is the purpose of going to Waterdeep City this time?"

Henry nodded. "The first is trade. The surrounding area of ​​Waterdeep City controls more than one million people. They all have strong purchasing power, which is the market we need. The second is alliances. We have now offended Luskan's Arcane Brotherhood .In order not to confront them directly, I need a strong ally. Waterdeep City is right between us and Luskan, which is a good shield. As for the purchase of ores and magic materials, those are incidental."

Debra thought about it when she heard it. "How can you guarantee that the lords will agree to the request for an alliance?"

Henry looked at the sea and smiled. "Waterdeep City itself has irreconcilable conflicts with Luskan. If there is a territory with great potential to form an alliance with them to deal with the Arcane Brotherhood, would you refuse it?"

The sorceress shook her head. "I'm afraid not. An enemy's enemy is a friend. Even a fool knows this sentence. It seems that the success of this trip can be expected. I would like to congratulate you first."

The next voyage was as smooth as Hawke expected. On the thirteenth day, they had already seen the pier of Waterdeep City. After the ship sailed slowly into the harbor, it was guided by a small boat and docked at a berth. Henry smelled a foul smell as soon as he got off the boat, and he frowned tightly. The female mage beside him made the same expression as him, and the half-orc followed behind indifferently. When the dock officials saw Ares again, they almost turned around in fright and wanted to call the guards, but they were finally stopped by Hawke and explained again carefully.

Finally, the official came to Henry after receiving a deposit of one hundred gold coins. "Sir, please take good care of your animal companion. If it injures someone for no reason, the security deposit will be confiscated. There are also some precautions that I have already told your companion, so I won't repeat them here. A final word of caution to you in the Docklands to beware of some thugs and thieves."

Henry glanced at the chaotic and noisy crowd in the distance. "Please rest assured that my animal companions will not attack any creature without order. Also, I have a lot of experience and skills in dealing with these villains and thieves. I guarantee that after they try it once, they will come to me the next time they see me." Stay far away." The official nodded. "Since that's the case, I wish you a pleasant experience in Waterdeep City." After speaking, he turned and walked away with the accompanying guards.
