Chapter 79: The Remains of the City Under the Mountain

Henry, who was in the ocean of magic items, was almost dazzled by picking things. There are tens of thousands of amulets, boots, hats, headbands, rings, staffs, robes, gloves, etc. "It's worthy of being one of the richest mages in Faerun," he sighed silently. After two hours, he came out with an amulet and a pair of boots. After saying goodbye to the owner of the mage tower, the group immediately rushed to the entrance of the city down the mountain. On the way, Henry carefully checked the details of the two magic items.

Boots of Speed: "The Claws of the Cheetah," these enchanted boots belong to a relentless killer. He loves to hunt down his victims, and even his victims on horseback cannot escape him because of his speed. Slowly, the killer's reputation spread. Although no one knew his real name, everyone knew the last sentence the victim heard: "You can hide, but you can't escape!"

After seeing the attributes, he put on his boots and put on the amulet. It didn't take long for the half-orc warrior to notice that Henry was walking much faster than usual. He looked up suspiciously. "Head, why did you suddenly speed up?"

After stopping, Henry turned around and pointed to the boots on his feet and said, "The boots of speed, the magic item I just got from Kelben's warehouse, I think you must have heard of its name. Now I can't Very good speed control, so go a little faster."

Vaughn's eyes lit up and he looked down at the unremarkable leather boots, showing an envious expression. "These are really good boots. When I was in the North, I saw someone wearing them and killed a leader of the bear goblins before walking away. The rest of the monsters could only stand in place and shout. They couldn't catch up. he."

Seeing the half-orc's fiery gaze on the boots, Henry felt that his wish should be granted. "The enchanting process of this kind of boots is not too complicated, but it needs some leather with strong magic resistance. I will make a pair for you when I return to the Mage Tower."

Vaughan laughed happily when he heard it. "Head, thank you, I can't wait for what you said."

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the entrance of the mountain city. This is a spiral staircase extending downwards, and you can't see your fingers inside. Debra picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it, and it took a full five minutes to hear a landing echo. "It's a very deep hole. It seems that we have to go up a long flight of stairs."

Henry blessed Vaughn's ax with a light spell and said to him: "Vaughn, you lead, I'm in the middle, Debra, you follow at the end." The half-orc warrior nodded and walked down the spiral staircase without a word , the two people behind followed closely. Henry walked along the stairs while observing the surrounding environment.

Here before the establishment of Waterdeep City, Helast Heipao had already begun to excavate huge underground ruins. He summoned and captured various monsters, built a huge maze, and finally piled up countless treasures in it. It attracts a large number of adventurers every year. Countless people used their bravery and lives to please this crazy mage. In Henry's view, he is simply the perfect combination of reason and madness, more like a legendary archmage than Kelben and Elminster. As for the red robes, the City of Shadows, the Guild of Masked Mages, etc., they have deviated from the original intention of magic and have become a political tool.

After a long journey, everyone finally finished the stairs. They stood on the ground and looked up at the entrance above. It has become a small bright spot that has become inconspicuous. Henry took a deep breath and said to the other two people: "Be vigilant from now on. This is the legendary mountain town where monsters gather. Try not to speak unless necessary. We communicate with sign language or mouth movements."

Debra took out a ribbon from her body and tied her hair up. She took out the crossbow made by Henry, hung up the bowstring, loaded the crossbow and held it in her hand. After everyone was ready to work, the half-orc warrior walked in the front with a glowing axe. Everyone keeps a distance of about five meters. If there is danger, this distance can not only provide quick rescue, but also prevent everyone from stepping into the trap together. The three of them proceeded cautiously along the cave. They were in the dark underground, and they couldn't hear a sound except breathing, which made people feel very depressed.

I don't know how long I walked, maybe only a few hours, maybe it has been a day. Suddenly the orc warrior in front squatted down, he turned his head and made a gesture to stop advancing. The two people behind approached carefully, and Vaughan pointed to a cave ahead.

Henry took a closer look, and there were many creatures about one meter long. They had black scaly skins, and even if they were so far away, they could smell the smell of a stinky ditch. The eyes of these guys are very bright with red light, and there are two small brown horns growing on the top of their heads. Henry quickly determined the identities of these little monsters, kobolds! There are at least a few hundred here, and perhaps a few kobold warlocks among them. After thinking about it for a few minutes, he decided to make a strong attack. After all, most kobolds are weak in combat and there is still a long way to go, so we can't waste too much time here.

He turned around and made an attack gesture to his two partners, then began to chant spells. The half-orc warrior rushed out after getting the permission to fight, and he chopped down a piece instantly with two axes in his hand. The kobolds behind reacted quickly, and they threw their spears and javelins one after another, but these had no effect on Vaughn who was wearing full body armor.

Soon Henry's spell was completed, and a "monster immobilization" body fixed a large number of kobolds in place. Then Debra's fireball exploded among them, and a large number of kobolds were blown to pieces, charred corpses and internal organs flying everywhere. Vaughan rushed into the cave along the bloody road, and suddenly shot a "Ma Youfu Acid Arrow" from the depths of the cave and hit his helmet. The orc warrior took it off and threw it aside, the acid eating away a hole in the helmet and scratching a bit of skin in just a second.

"There are three kobold warlocks here!" Vaughn shouted behind him. Hearing his words, Henry rushed over immediately, and released a flash spell into the cave, and the three kobolds were instantly stunned by the strong light. The orc warriors rushed over and decapitated two of the fellows, and Debra pierced the last warlock's eye with a crossbow bolt. The three kobold warlocks were killed, and the rest were basically old, weak, sick and disabled. After seeing the leader's death, they dropped their weapons and turned and fled into the depths of the mine. Henry didn't pursue it. He simply searched the tribe's warehouse and seized a little mithril and more than 20 gems.

Vaughan touched his acid-burned scalp and said to Henry, "Boss, my helmet is broken."

"Here, this is the last one. I only brought a spare set of armor." Henry took out the helmet from the dimension belt and threw it over.

Vaughn put on his helmet and clapped twice. "Just the right size, hope this lasts a little longer."

Debra looked down at the acid-corroded gash in her helmet. "I advise you to be more careful, and don't chase it lightly. There are many monsters at the foot of the mountain. They have been captured from various planes, and they have all sorts of strange spell-like abilities. There is no way to protect yourself by relying on a suit of armor."

The orc warrior nodded. "Now I have a deep understanding of this, and I will be more careful in the next journey."

"In this case, let's move on, and I hope we won't encounter other monsters. Otherwise, even if it takes a month, we won't be able to reach the mage tower in Hailast." After speaking, Henry led a group of people and continued on their way .

It didn't take long before they encountered a new problem. A huge metal door appeared on the only way. The half-orc warrior bumped it hard a few times and found that it couldn't be opened at all. "This gate must be locked, who can tell me what is written on it." Vaughan turned back and asked the two mages behind him.

Debra stepped forward and gently touched the words carved in front of the door with her hands. After a while, she said to Henry: "This is the text of ancient Netheril. It means that the road to the past is about to open , the giant's eye is the spoon. The black dragon's blood is the road."

Henry stared wide-eyed. "You mean there's a black dragon nearby! And there's a giant! My God, Hylast really knows how to play with adventurers."

The sorceress nodded. "According to the prompt above, these two creatures are nearby. We must obtain these two things to pass through. The door is cast with powerful magic, and ordinary mages can't even try to crack it."

Vaughan held the ax tightly, took a few deep breaths, turned his head and said to Henry: "Head! Are we going to slay the dragon!"

Henry frowned tightly as he looked into the eyes of the orc warrior. "I will try my best to obtain dragon blood without fighting, but black dragons are usually not very good-tempered, and they like to sneak attack very much, so you should be prepared to fight. Be careful of acid spit, then the player should Just a little bit of it will instantly corrode your bones."

Vaughn nodded. "All the barbarians in my hometown yearn to have a great battle to gain honor. Dragon Slaying is undoubtedly the highest level among them. This is the best test for me, even if I die in this battle There will be regrets."

"But I hope everyone can survive, and don't do stupid things during the battle." Henry reminded when he saw his excited and flushed face.

The half-orc warrior beat his breastplate vigorously a few times. "Don't worry, I still want to continue to go on adventures with you. This battle is just a grand beginning. Now let's find this dragon first." After speaking, he turned and took the lead to walk to the left fork.
