The merchant ships set sail slowly, leaving the dead battlefield behind.

Shepard sat in the room, looking at the delicate leather case on the table, the open glass window let in the light of the day, illuminating the room clearly and brightly, the drow warrior stood silently in the corner, and the two maids stood quietly aside.

His fingers ran over the delicate and subtle mark on the suitcase, and the emblem of the Lord of Neverfall gave a slight tingling sensation to the fingertips, because the enchanted magic lock on it resisted non-recipients, and Shepard could force open and prevent the magic lock from self-destructing inside, but he didn't because it wasn't fun enough.

There was a soft knock on the door, and Eleanor walked over to open the door, talked to the people outside the door for a while, and then walked back and whispered in Shepard's ear, but the charming expression seemed to be narrating the love words to her lover, which made Qiulisi, who was watching from the sidelines, twist her body uncomfortably.

"Hmm...... Okay, bring it in. Shepard frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed, and finally with the joy of watching a play on his face, he simply ordered.

"Yes." Eleanor bowed her head, then twisted her waist and walked out of the door, not knowing what had been arranged, and a few strong sailors walked in with three men in tow.

All three of them had been cleaned, weak but normal, with no hair sticking to their faces and tattered clothes as dirty as sewer rags, and they were neatly groomed and put on dry clothes, and Shepard could tell that they were a woman and two men, a young and thin woman who looked a little rustic, and a middle-aged man who was a little old, and a boy who was a little immature.

The sailors brought stools for the three of them to sit down, but the woman held the boy tightly in her arms, and the middle-aged man on the side, although he described himself as embarrassed and tired, still maintained some of the aristocratic reserve, an almost instinctive behavior that Shepard could recognize at a glance.

He looked at the woman and the boy, turned to the middle-aged man, and said, "I'm Shepard, Shepard Prell." ”

Qiu Lixi next to her coughed lightly and cleared her throat, and said in a crisp voice: "This is the master of Bloucester City, the patriarch of the Prell family, the trusted friend of Her Majesty the Queen, the most trusted friend of His Excellency the Border Earl of the [Marquis of East Am], a strong man with dragons and griffins, and Lord Prell who named the vast territory after the family!" ”

This series of titles is clear to Qiulisi, this kind of expression used by nobles to use routines, and only Qiulisi, who has been specially trained, is suitable for the whole ship, and Eleanor, a beautiful and dangerous female Drow, although very handy in killing people and bed, is a little powerless for her.

Although this kind of behavior is boring and pompous, it is one of the ways used by nobles to show their status, at least the middle-aged man in front of him immediately stood in awe, and said with some restraint and embarrassment: "Greetings to you, Lord Earl!" I am Baron Jaxy Anral, a lord loyal to the Venerable Lord of Neverwinter, and your reputation has long since spread from the kingdom of Tesser, to the Northlands, and I am honored to meet you, and thank you for saving your life! ”

Shepard was not surprised by Jaxi's reaction, and he didn't have any approachable ideas, the nobles didn't eat this, so he put his hands and fingers together in front of him, his arms were supported on the armrests, and he said in a flat and arrogant tone: "The glory of the Nasir family makes me awe-inspired, but Your Excellency, why did you appear in the cage of a group of pirates, these two ladies and little gentlemen beside you don't seem to be ordinary civilians." ”

"My lord, allow me to introduce to you, this lady is the only heir to the ancient and honorary Viscount Nospar family of Neverwinter, the current patriarch of the Nospar family is a friend of the city lord when he was young, and one of his most trusted vassals, and this little gentleman is the only grandson of the Viscount Nospar. ”

Shepard sighed, the relationship between the front and back was connected, and he immediately guessed that it was nothing more than an heir dispute that was commonplace among nobles, and it must be indispensable to those relatives or foreign enemies who were eyeing each other, but he didn't puncture this, because at present, it seems that the city lord of Neverwinter is on the side of the Nosbah family, although the official title of this city lord is just an earl like him, but he controls Winterfall with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, and the power of the Nasir family in the nearby thousands of miles of land is no different from that of a king.

In the entire Neverwinter City, not to mention those hidden forces and organizations, at least among the forces on the surface, only the city lord of the Nasir family deserves his attention, because he is a dragon vein warlock, and perhaps only he knows the true strength of that city lord, the legendary [Cold Tide Warlock] Baledos Nasir, among the small group of people who are at the peak of the entire Sword Bay.

If Baldur's Gate derives its prestige from its antiquity and the unfathomable power of its temples, as well as its long history and legend, Neverwinter's prestige has been re-established with the Nasir's means and prowess since its destruction and reconstruction.

Shepard's first smile since meeting appeared on his face: "In that case, I wonder where you guys are going next?" Although the destination of this merchant ship is Waterdeep, I don't mind taking you to Winterfell if you stop by. ”

Baron Jaxi's face beamed, "Respectful and kind sir, we are just going back to Neverwinter, I wonder if you mind if we occupy two rooms on your ship?" ”

"We are all nobles, and in the name of order and justice, no gentleman of honor and dignity will refuse to lend a helping hand at such a time, so Baron Anral, and Lady Nosbar, you can rest assured that you will stay on my ship, and I will take you to Neverwinter, and I hope that you will introduce me to the present Count of Nasir."

Shepard sat back in his chair and said righteously.

Jaxie thanked excitedly, and the pair of last heirs of the Nosbah family have always been as unimportant as a supporting role, in fact, I don't know which generation of the patriarch left behind the illegitimate sons, when the lineage exists, it is a shame to be secretly erased, and only at such a moment, will someone bother to find them, rolling in the countryside for a lifetime, unless it is a child of destiny with the halo of the protagonist, otherwise such an ordinary performance is the most normal.

……

Neverwinter, also known as Neverwinter, Shepard remembers the rights that the game company bought from an ancient company in his previous life, and here opened the game's third major expansion after the open beta.

This is the mecca of craftsmen, the merchant's paradise, beautiful, prosperous, livable, rich, here is one of the most dazzling pearls in the bay, a place that countless people dream of, the warm supernatural water of the Neverwinter River watered the gardens of the four seasons, also known as the Neverwinter City, this rich place, the inhabitants of the city can eat the fresh fruit that can only grow in summer at any time.

Those exquisite clocks, glasswork, and jewelry have attracted countless merchants to rush to buy them, and any piece of Neverwinter's handicraft can be sold for an enviable price elsewhere.

It's orderly, everything is in order, from the cleanliness of the ground to the magnificence of the buildings, from the bustling of the market to the good security, any point is enough to be amazing, the core area of Neverwinter is not large, the population mainly comes from the floating population, and there are many fortresses and important towns scattered nearby, because it has to face the threat of orcs all year round.

Because of this, Neverwinter is a rare place in Sword Bay where underground forces are extremely rare and have excellent security, and it is almost impossible for a cult to hide under the noses of the Temple of Gods for many years like Baldur's Gate.

The standard independent city-state here, the rebuilt Deep Water City is more powerful than before, humans and half-elves are the main inhabitants here, in addition to being called the [Elven City] and the [Bow and Arrow City], close to the [Salantos] of the [Supreme Forest], this is the place with the most half-elf residents in the Old World.
