Artificer Adventure Guide

In fact, if Karl concentrated on improving the level of the artificer, he would have more spell slots than he does now.

But now he faces a rather embarrassing problem - he doesn't know much about the second-level artificer spells.

After all, before this, Carl did not know that he would be captured by the Mind Flayer and used as transformation material, and he did not have the habit of previewing professional knowledge for the next school year in advance.

Using a 2nd level spell slot to cast a 1st level spell will certainly enhance the effect of the spell, but to be honest, rather than wasting that spell slot, Carl might as well kill more enemies.

Carl redesigned the propeller of the power armor and was busy until he woke up.

…

"morning!"

Waking up from bed, Karl said hello to Hope, then got up and got out of bed.

At this time, Hope had already started her morning exercise. Sweat slid down her skin and gathered into a small puddle on the ground.

"Yeah! Good morning, what are you going to eat later?"

"Ha, do we have a choice? Of course it's fire snake meat."

According to the previous plan, the two of them were going out to explore today.

The mysterious goblin tribe that brought the salamanders from the fire elemental plane to the dungeon is still a long way from where the two of them are now.

If they set off today, the two of them can almost reach each other's location in 10 days.

The giant minecart made too much noise after it was started. In order to avoid being discovered, the two chose to hike more secludedly.

After preparing breakfast on the stove, Karl first took care of his personal hygiene near the elemental pool, and then turned on the energy center and released some liquid Eberron Dragon Crystal.

The orange-yellow liquid expanded rapidly after dripping down and turned into crystals. Karl made about 5 kilograms in a row before finally giving up.

If everything goes well, the two of them will never come back here again.

Before leaving, they should bring as much useful things as possible.

By the time Karl returned to the room, Hope had already finished washing up, the two of them finished breakfast, and then took all their things and left.

…

"Dong dong dong..."

On the west side of the lava cave, Karl wore power armor and used his thunder fist to attack the boulders in front of him.

The destructive power of thunder damage to rocks is considerable. Within a few hits, cracks appeared in the boulders.

"Click"

As the boulders shattered, surging groundwater flowed into the lava cave.

"Hold on to me!"

Holding Hope in his arms, Carl activated the thrusters of his power armor.

The jets on his legs and back released blue flames, and Karl soared into the sky and plunged into the cave where underground water flowed.

According to the memory of the original salamander, this place is connected to a small river leading to the surface.

Not liking the spring, Salamander blocked it with boulders, lava and his own body.

Entering the water, the resistance instantly increases.

But the buoyancy also reduced some weight of Carl's power armor.

Against the current, the two kept moving forward.

When Karl's dragon crystal temporarily ran out of energy, the two of them had already arrived at a shallow water area.

"Crack!"

With wet boots, Hope stood on the shore, alert to the surroundings.

This has not yet reached the surface of the underground city, but is an underground river tunnel in the middle rock layer.

Such an environment is where various dark creatures like to live, such as pythons.

Considering the fact that salamanders were spreading nearby, Hope and Carl had to be on guard.

After listening carefully for a moment, Karl pointed to one of the directions of the underground river tunnel and said:

"Go this way, there seems to be the sound of water flowing here."

Hope also listened carefully, then nodded and headed in the direction of the sound of water flow.

The further you go, the lower the temperature of the water becomes.

Hope was not suitable for low-temperature environments. After walking for a while, his legs felt numb.

There was no other way, so Carl had no choice but to hold Hope and move on.

"By the way, dip your finger in the river water and take a sip to see if it tastes bitter."

After walking forward for a long time, Karl suddenly remembered something.

Saltpeter absorbs heat when dissolved in water, so in areas rich in saltpeter the water becomes cold and bitter.

Licking his fingers as Karl said, Hope frowned slightly and nodded.

Seeing Hope's appearance, Karl was basically certain that there should be a saltpeter mine nearby.

"No wonder there was black gunpowder in that goblin tribe before. I didn't expect that the veins here are quite rich."

While chatting with Hope, the dragon crystal on the chest of Karl's power armor suddenly changed from purple-red to blue-purple.

This means that the fire element energy in it is restored again.

"Hold tight!"

Weighing Hope in his hand, Carl started the jet again and galloped forward.

The further forward, the more turbulent the water flow becomes.

Finally, an underground waterfall appeared at the end of the tunnel.

"If nothing else, this is the river in Salamander's memory. Let's go!"

Feeling that most of the energy still remained in the dragon crystal, Carl activated the jet with all his strength and led Hope to the top of the waterfall.

"Plop!"

A few minutes later, the two broke through the water and returned to the surface of the underground city.

Surrounded by a rocky river beach, in the distance, a familiar monitor lizard was wandering leisurely by the river.

Raising his left arm, Carl activated his rifle.

A series of bullets flew out, and several giant lizards that failed to dodge died on the spot.

Hope walked forward skillfully and skinned and boned the giant lizard.

Although the two had accumulated a lot of fire snake meat, the more food reserves, the better.

Just as the two were about to move forward, a dazzling fire suddenly broke out in the direction of the mushroom forest.

"Fortunately, we didn't come to the surface from the previous pool, otherwise we might have been affected."

Looking at the small mushroom cloud rising into the sky, Carl's face under the power armor was full of fear.

This place is not too far from the mushroom forest, but the fact that the fire can be seen here also proves that the power of this explosion cannot be too small.

However, this has nothing to do with Carl and Hope for the time being. The next main task of the two is to go to the goblin tribe in the memory of the fire lizard and get a way to return to the main plane.

...

At the same time, the mushroom forest.

On the battlefield, the coalition forces composed of the six major goblin tribes are fighting with the Nautilus spacecraft.

The barbarians of the Rage Tribe and the warriors of the Devouring Tribe acted as the vanguard, the bards of the Taunting Tribe added buffs to the warriors, the wanderers of the Shadow Tribe tried to sneak into the Nautilus, and the warriors of the Guardian Tribe commanded the battle while operating the engineering weapons to attack the Nautilus.

The only logistics was the Traveler Tribe. As the tribe that preserved the civilization of the Dagon Empire the most intact, they still mastered some of the technology of the past.

At this time, the members of the Traveler Tribe, mainly the hobgoblins and ordinary goblins, were manufacturing various equipment and engineering equipment in the rear of the battlefield.

No one knew how long this battle would last, but the goblins knew that if they failed, the Mind Flayer would enslave them.
