Dr. Green Dragon

For those who don't know, just from the rumors, Skull Harbor is an evil place like hell, and all the residents should be exiled criminals from Waterdeep City, greedily peeping at the wealth of Waterdeep City all the time.

However, if you really come here...

Skull Harbor is located in the Underdark region, and naturally, it also has the common characteristics of the Underdark region.

The dark and quiet environment, the mystery and beauty of the fluorescent bacteria, the sinister and magnificent of the strange rocks and pillars.

What's more...it will be named "Hong Kong". On the bank of this quiet town, there is an underground river running through it.

Here it is, the Suggs River!

It connects Skull Harbor and Leyline Lost City, and even meets Sword Sea.

The third layer "Sargos Layer" of the Lost Leyline City is more directly named after this river.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of this underground underground river, with abundant water resources, that the underground of Deep Water City gave birth to all kinds of prosperity, even if this prosperity has some deformities!

Of course, deformities are not deformities, let alone that.

In fact, the "official" position of Skull Harbor, when the "King of Bones" founded this underground town, was actually a neutral camp!

Even now, at least in this town, everything is still in order.

After all... the thirteen "burning skulls" that could fly across the sky at any time, the only thing they care about is this area, and all creatures must obey their rules!

This "rule"... even the Elder's Eye of the Exantha trade union silently acknowledged that his "eyes and hands" would even cooperate to maintain it.

It is precisely because of this that in this "notorious" underground town, "dirty" transactions are going on at any time, but it is undeniable that everything here is also in order!

Especially, if there are no "burning skulls" that look so evil in the sky, passing by from time to time, the difference between this place and a normal underground town is not obvious.

That's it.

"It's finally started!"

A dark castle.

It can be seen everywhere, with an "artistic" atmosphere, or a "heroic" temperament, or an extraordinary "knowledge", or a "kingly" majesty, and there are also "simple" and true, countless lifelike beholder statues in the castle.

Suspended above a throne.

A giant beholder, the main eye is half-closed, a little lazy, making him look a little old.

Behind him, there is a huge magic door shining with azure lightning, which is only opened from here... This is either a teleportation operation that has just been carried out, or it has been preparing all the time, and it can be used immediately at any time!

In front of him is a magic light curtain that shows the sky of Skull Harbor in a panoramic view.

The half-closed main eye was looking at the magic light curtain.

In the light curtain, the sky of Skull Harbor was extremely quiet at this moment.

If there is no wind, there is naturally no cloud, and even... none of the thirteen flaming skulls are gone!

"They are interested in Helast, whether it is the magic of Helast or the threat to Helast..."

"But I only want 'Lost Leyline Lost City'!"

"With the 'Lost Leylines City', no one will be able to hinder my plan. To conquer Waterdeep City, start by conquering the 'Line Lines Lost City'..."

Thinking of the conquest plan, and thinking of those skulls that made him feel a little bit bound... This giant beholder, although the main eye is still half-closed, always looks a bit lacklustre and malnourished, but there is a fiery madness burning in it up.

When it comes to "plans", he is interested in it now, so he doesn't feel tired!

so……

"I have to make the 'plan' more perfect first, which can better reflect my heroism and wisdom..."

"The words over the eye hole..."

One of the beholder's tentacles twirled, and a "telepathic" message was linked to a person outside the castle.

"Costan, go to the eye cave to support Avarina on my behalf."

"Bring on the 'Magic Eye Guard'!"

In response to his spiritual message, from various hidden places in the dark castle, one after another spherical and tentacled creatures suddenly floated into the air.

And the person who has been waiting outside, the second hand of the Acnansa trade union, "Costan Ruhr" who is in charge of the assassination business, was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was still serious and cold, and he just bowed down. : "Obey, great master!"

Demon eye guards, necromancer guards who are directly manipulated by the "beholder master"!

It's his "beholder master". After so many years, he has treated beholders one after another, whether they are provocateurs, challengers, or accidental encounters. He killed and transformed into a "beholder zombie"!

Although beholder zombies are definitely far less powerful than real beholders, but... it depends on what they are compared with!

In particular, there are still some of them who wanted to challenge the "Beholder Master"!

These, in the end, proved to be too arrogant.

But... the "beholder zombie" they transformed, even he has to avoid it too!

"Go!"

"Go through the 'Gate of Light'!"

The eyes of the elders is another "spiritual communication".

The Shining Gate, which was built by him himself, or more precisely, is a remodeled portal that can be directly connected to the "Lyron Lost City". Door".

Costan immediately took the order, and quickly made arrangements.

Sensing the other side, they quickly gathered in the direction of the "Gate of Light", and then left quickly.

The elder's eyes half-closed their main eyes, and looked at the light curtain in front of them again.

He has to wait a little longer, and when the result really comes out, it won't be too late to make a final decision!

Before that...

"Continue to improve the 'Conquer Plan'!"

"Why don't we just call it...'Third-Eyed Demon Empire March'?"

"When Waterdeep City is conquered, when the 'Third Eye Demon Empire' is established..."

Countless fantasies bloomed in the heart of the Elder Eyes.

The power of the mind that is too powerful is just a fantasy, and his surroundings are also like illusions, as if from "fantasy" to "manifestation", the pictures of the essence evolution are constantly flashing in a chaotic manner.

...

And it was in the eyes of the elders that he looked at a certain area of ​​the light curtain for the last time.

Corresponding to this area, Skull Harbor is the darkest, and there are hidden caves with endless mysteries in it.

"Sure enough, you also participated!"

"That's why Exanza, a delusional monster, dares to really confront us!"

Surrounded by thirteen skulls burning with green flames, and blocked by countless magical auras, this is a hidden cave that is almost completely isolated from all spaces.

A lich with the eyes of the soul of the bloody demon flame did not become impatient and angry because of the dangerous environment.

I just looked at the surroundings indifferently... I was an old friend in the early years, but now, after all, I still want to go to the opposite "Burning Skulls".

"'us'?"

"Shradine Mullover, don't forget, we are who we are!"

"Have you completely forgotten the splendor and glory of the Austrian Empire?"

A skull of green flames, a sarcastic mockery.

"So what to forget, what to remember, what has passed away will never come back!"

"You have been distorted into 'skulls'!"

"I also became a 'Lich'!"

"Only us are left. The glory and glory of the Austrian Empire have long been lost in history."

Some of the past events are unforgettable, that is, the lich is indifferent to emotion, and Shiradin's blood-colored soul eyes flickered several times after all, but in the end... there was only a sigh.

"Cowards are willing to be mediocre!"

"After that catastrophe, for two thousand years, we have been studying the law of change."

"Now... the 'Suggs Floating City' has come to reappear in the world!"

"Halast and his Leyline Lost City are the last obstacle. As long as he is solved, as long as there are two more 'skulls', the distortion of the magic disaster will be reversed, and all the 'skulls' will be The liberation, the reappearance of the Floating Void City, and the return of the Austrian Empire will really begin!"

"Shidin, our people, you must join us!"

The words of the green flame skull, the passionate emotions.

Disasters can destroy everything, but they cannot destroy their ultimate belief.

Time can erode everything, and it can't erode their eternal pride.

And what he meant...

Shiradin's soul flame trembled violently for a moment.

Suggs Floating City rises again?

In today's era, is it possible to have such an arcane miracle city?

But at this time, he completely understood why these people were so eager and active, and they were going to attack his teacher directly!

The catastrophe that year, the fall of Suggs Floating Void City, was not only on the side of Skull Harbor, most of the Leyline Lost City was also the area affected by the Floating Void City back then.

Under the influence of the magical barrier of the Leyline Lost City, even they can really complete the twisting curse and get a real recovery from the "skull" form, but they can't do the same to raise the Floating Void City!

Unless...Halaster is not here!

But this again...

The blood in Shi Ding's eyes flickered fiercely, but after all...he shook his head!

"Even if it is you, it is impossible to succeed!"

"The current him... is the great arcanist who controlled the Floating Void City back then. I am afraid that only those few can be compared with him!"

"And, most importantly..."

Looking at the green flame skull, he paused for a moment, then said in a solemn tone, "He is immortal!"

In the early years, he would come here because he found the secret history of the "Sachs Floating Void City" crashing here.

But because of this, I met Helast.

Helast's knowledge has completely convinced him. This is a legend that shines like a sun in any era, even in the era of their Austrian Empire!

Because of this, he, who was already a legendary necromancer at that time, willingly worshiped under Helast's sect and became Helast's first apprentice.

Later, when I was exploring the "Suggs layer", I met these old people.

This level of relationship is the root cause of his ability to build "Skull Harbor" here.

But now...

"Don't say these things are useless."

"Shidin, what you should decide is to join us, or... choose to be a traitor?"

Another green flame skull, an impatient voice.

"You should know that since we will launch this plan, we are naturally sure!"

"So what if he is the 'Grand Arcanist'?"

"What about his "immortal" nature?"

"As long as the "Lost Leyline City" is resolved, as long as the "Sargos City" is raised, he can return, and he can only watch us reappear the glory of the empire!"

After all, there is still a skull that remembers the old love, and, in the plan, this should be the first choice of the fourteenth skull... Another green flame skull, persuading again.

only……

The expression in his eyes changed again and again, but in the end...

Shi Ding shook his head slowly: "Sorry!"

"Although I also look forward to the reappearance of 'Suggs City', I will not deviate from the teacher!"

"Also, if you succeed, don't forget about Waterdeep City!"

"The Floating Void City will be restarted, and the Deep Water City will not sit idly by!"

After all, the current location of Suggs City is just under Waterdeep City!

After all, the lich sighed silently again, with contradictory but unchangeable thoughts.

He has followed Helast for hundreds of years, although he is looking forward to the reappearance of the Austrian Empire, but he has no way to backstab the teacher!

Not to mention... At least in his heart, he doesn't think these people can really realize this dream!

Waterdeep City is almost the most powerful city-state in the North, and even the entire material world. Kelben and Lila are not only as powerful as the great arcanists themselves, but also have the essence of the chosen ones of the goddess of magic. There are close alliances with the likes of the Seven Sisters and Minnis.

Suggs Floating Void City, even if he really suppressed his teacher, can he still resist these people and forcibly lift into the air?

"Unfortunately!"

"However, I respect your decision!"

Among the thirteen skulls, the faintly headed one spoke calmly.

He could see that although Shiradin did not deviate from Hailast's intentions, he also gave up resistance.

It's pedantic, but...

In the era of the Arcane Empire, the inheritance of the Arcanist was originally the most "simple" model of "Arcanist + Assistant + Apprentice".

Every successfully trained apprentice has an incomparably close relationship with the Arcanist.

Whether it's tradition or emotion, Shidin's choice is certainly pedantic, but...he can accept it!

Of course, being able to accept it doesn't mean that he will let it go!

It's about the Floating Void City. Since Schradin already knows about it and doesn't want to join it, the only option is...

Needless to say, the thirteen green flame skulls moved in unison. In this independent space, a seemingly inconspicuous, phantom-like dark sphere suddenly appeared in the " The head of the King of Bones".

However, it seemed inconspicuous, and there were no terrifying fluctuations.

But... the appearance of the dark sphere, even before it actually fell, the legendary lich body of the King of Bones was already collapsing directly.

"Destroy the magic ball!"

...

"The King of Bones has fallen!"

"It's a pity. They were supposed to solve the good allies of Waterdeep City together!"

A certain deep layer of the Lost City.

A black-robed lich suddenly paused, with a regretful expression.

"Once the Bone King is gone, the six of the 'Seven' will have to react, and Helast will be alarmed too!"

"Just look over there, how many clones of him can be restrained?"

Walking with him was another illithid with a breath of death, its octopus-like tentacles were wriggling unconsciously, and an evil, cold blue light flickered in his eyes.

Everything is going as planned, just to see...

How powerful will the mad mage be in the Lost Leyline City!

"He'll be pleasantly surprised."

"After this incident, I will personally lead you to join the 'Tales', the eighth 'Lord of Talismans'!"
