Just when the Thieves Guild in the entire Port Calin was fighting each other.

Inside the cabin of a merchant ship docked in the harbor and about to set sail.

Two half-elves, a man and a woman, were sitting in the corner, staring nervously at the movements at the dock not far away through the gap in the deck.

They were none other than Jaheira and Khalid whom Kuran had just mentioned.

Because not long ago, the secret base of the Harper Alliance was suddenly raided by a group of unidentified guys.

More than two-thirds of the members died on the spot! The remaining survivors fled in all directions, trying to avoid being hunted down by this group of brutal enemies.

So the couple didn't dare to go back at all, but directly spent money to buy two boat tickets, planning to escape to Myratma in the north first.

Soon, as the sailors on the deck above shouted and pulled up the heavy anchor, while hanging white sails on the mast, the ship finally began to move slowly.

After a while, it changed direction and headed towards the endless sea.

As the port of Calim Port gradually disappeared from the sea, Jaheira, who had been keeping his nerves tense, finally relaxed, smoothed his long golden hair, and said to Khalid beside him, "We are out of danger for the time being."

"You...you...who do you think attacked our base?"

Khalid asked haltingly, obviously having a very serious stutter.

But Jaheira didn't care about it. He just shook his head and said, "I don't know. The Harpers have too many enemies in Calimport to count. Before we get to the bottom of the truth, the Zhentarim, the Church of the Evil Gods, the profit-seeking Thieves Guild, and the Chamber of Commerce engaged in the slave trade are all very suspicious."

"Then...then...then should we continue investigating?" Khalid asked in an uncertain tone.

"certainly!"

Jaheira answered in the affirmative without hesitation.

Not only that, she also patiently explained: "Although it is not clear what is in the box yet.

But as long as the Church of Cyric wants something, we as Harpers must stop it.

What's more, we have basically confirmed that this guy named Soth is a big suspect.

He happened to leave the city from the north gate at noon on the day of the incident, and the time he returned was very close to the time when the internal riots broke out in the Xirik Church.

Coupled with the sudden appearance of gossip, I have reason to suspect that someone is secretly plotting something behind the scenes."

"Well... maybe we should... go to Candlekeep first and ask Gorion what he thinks about this. He... might know a little more." Khalid suggested very cautiously.

But Jaheira refused without hesitation: "No! After that incident, Gorion has already resigned from the Harpers. He has more important duties now. We cannot disturb him, let alone distract him."

"Okay... okay. Then we'll go to Myratma."

Khalid was obviously not a man with a strong opinion, and was eventually persuaded by his companion Jaheira.

In this way, the two men boarded the merchant ship loaded with cargo and bypassed the Kalin Desert.

Drive straight to the southernmost tip of the Kingdom of Tethyr, the border city of Mylatma, which borders Calimshan.

But what they didn't know was that the current situation in Mylatma was not much better than Port Calin.

Because a red dragon is leading a group of orcs, orcs, ogres, gnolls, trolls, lizardmen, snakemen and goblins, and they are frantically looting all the towns, villages and trade routes around the city.

Even the army sent by the lord to encircle and suppress them was defeated by them, and could only huddle in the city and protect themselves with the walls and large crossbows that were powerful enough to hunt down dragons.

And the name of this red dragon...

It's called Vermes!

At this moment, she was standing in front of a pile of looted treasures. She did not show any joy at all. Instead, she looked full of anger, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

"Great Master! We have just interrogated all the captives, but no one knows who the human cub you are looking for is."

An orc chief knelt on one knee and carefully reported to the red dragon in front of him.

Although this attack plundered a large amount of gold and silver coins and valuable goods, he could still feel the uncontrollable horrific anger in his master's heart.

In fact, this monster army has replaced several supreme commanders in recent times.

So the orc chieftain did not want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor at all costs.

But unfortunately, as a weak person, he has no way to decide his own destiny.

After a brief silence, the red dragon's raging rage erupted as expected.

Wilmes swung his claws and pinned the orc who was loyal to him to the ground. He opened his bloody mouth and roared madly: "Waste! Waste! All of you are waste! Waste like you has no right to live! Go to hell!"

"No!!! Master! Give me one more chance! Two days! Just two days! I promise to find information about that human cub!"

The orc twisted his body desperately to break free from the dragon's claws.

But unfortunately, his strength is as insignificant as an ant compared to an adult dragon.

"You have exhausted my patience! Now, just be its food."

As he spoke, Wilmes lowered his huge head and moved it closer to the orc.

Before the latter could react, she suddenly opened her mouth, and four octopus-like tentacles extended from her throat, slowly wrapping around the motionless orc's head.

The next second...

Snap!

The hard skull was crushed alive by the powerful force of the thick tentacles almost in an instant.

The severe pain and fear made the orc chieftain struggle like crazy.

But after only two struggles, an invisible energy hit him.

Immediately afterwards, the eyes of this powerful orc warrior became dull, as if he had suddenly turned into an idiot and a fool.

In the end, he watched helplessly as the tentacles used extremely skillful movements to pry open his crown bit by bit, take out his entire brain from his cranial cavity, and then suck it all out bit by bit through the holes at the end of the tentacles.

After the last bit of brain tissue was eaten, a feeling of satisfaction and pleasure filled the red dragon's brain, allowing her to relax a little from her tense state.

Because this horrific creature created and awakened by Zuo Si has eaten the orcs' brains, it will not eat its own brain in the short term.

And as he ate more and more brains of intelligent creatures, Wilmes could clearly feel that the thing that controlled him was constantly growing and its abilities were constantly increasing.

The orc chieftain who just tried to struggle through telekinesis control is the best example.

In fact, she is able to gather and command an army of monsters of such staggering size.

Basically, it’s all because the leaders of those monster tribes are controlled by terrifying psychic powers and become obedient slaves.

"Fifteen days! I'll give you another fifteen days! If you still can't see the master after fifteen days, I'll eat your brain. This time, I won't touch those dirty and low-intelligence orcs again."

The strange object gave the red dragon an ultimatum through telepathy.

It is not difficult to see from this sentence that it has gotten rid of the low intelligence level of a baby when it was just awakened.

Already able to converse like a normal intelligent creature.

Even see through the other party's little tricks to delay time.

Wilmes did not respond after hearing this. He just narrowed his eyes and stared at the body of the orc chieftain, who had lost his brain and was completely dead, gasping heavily.

For the first time since she was born, she hated her greedy nature.

If I could have another chance.

She swore she would never touch the treasures piled in that room.

Instead, they would obey Zuo Si's orders and pass through the portal as quickly as possible.

But unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world...
