Lord of Spells from Faerûn

Everyone in the Dragonlance Adventure Group found the tavern owner Dunan, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a long sword on his waist.

"Welcome~ All adventurers, are you ready to start your legendary experience in the legendary Leyline Maze City! You only need one gold coin to get there through this shaft."

Dunan started shouting loudly when he saw the crowd. Ever since he opened this tavern many years ago with the huge wealth he collected from Leyline Maze, he has been making money by relying on the entrance of this shaft over the years.

The paladin felt a heartache after hearing this. One gold coin per person, five people plus the copper furnace cost six gold coins, but as the captain, he still took out five gold coins: "Six people, boss."

Dunan happily reached out to take the gold coin, put it in his mouth and bit it, then waved his hand and asked everyone to tie the rope and send it down one by one.

"Under the Mountain", the first floor.

This is the safest place in the entire Leyline Maze City. Even though some sporadic monsters raid here from time to time through various portals, the hard work of adventurers over the years has kept this place safe most of the time.

The place where everyone is now is the ruins of the former Arcane Academy.

Many years ago, this was the Arcane Academy co-founded by the metal mage Trobriander, a disciple of the legendary mad mage Halaster Blackrobe, and his other disciple Mulla.

Back then, many mages came here in admiration and tried to study in this arcane academy, but unfortunately, there was no free pie in the sky. The apprentices who studied in this arcane academy did not live long and were basically wasted. Taste.

Later, after the metal mage left, the half-scorpion man Mula went to the depths of the Lost City to help his teacher resist the harassment of the drow. The arcane academy was abandoned since then.

However, adventurers have made use of the ruins here as an underground market, where many contraband items that are not sold on the surface exist.

Imrik and his party walked in this market. The streets were full of vendors of various races, including evil races such as drow and gray dwarves.

Walking here, Imric seems to have returned to the slave assembly of Dragonblade Castle. You must know that slavery is strictly prohibited in Waterdeep City, but under the light, there must be darkness, and there are underground rivers leading to various places in the Lost City. It is the best location for slave trading.

Therefore, this market is filled with all kinds of slaves.

Adventurers are basically beings with low moral standards, so passers-by were not surprised. Only Jerome, who is a moral freak, looked angrily as he walked.

"Relax, Jerome, don't cause more trouble." Imrik saw Jerome's inner uneasiness and comforted him.

He didn't want to offend a large group of slave traders before he reached the second level.

"Hey, Master Mage, do you need a guide to introduce this place to you and your teammates?"

At this time, a gray dwarf nearby saw that everyone was here for the first time, rubbed his hands and said greedily.

Imric stopped and took out a gold coin and looked down at the black dwarf: "Yes, if you are satisfied with what you said, this gold coin will be yours."

The gray dwarf saw the gold coin and said excitedly: "Of course, of course, dear Master Mage, this is the first floor of Leyline Maze City, and the fixed portal leading to the second floor is in the ruins of the Arcane Academy. Just walk five hundred meters and you'll be there.

In addition, there are several teleportation gates on the first floor located in the east and north, but the rules of these teleportation gates are still unclear. They sometimes open and sometimes close, and the places they teleport to are different each time.

Therefore, I recommend that you use fixed portals. There are still some short-term stopping points for adventurers near the second-level portal. However, after leaving the vicinity of the portal, the number of monsters gradually increases, because starting from the second level, every time There will be random portals on each floor that occasionally rush out monsters, so it is very dangerous.

Of course, it may be because the powerful monsters are restricted in the depths. The challenge levels of the monsters in the first few floors are relatively weak, generally lower than level 9. Most of them are weak creatures such as goblins without professional levels.

Over the years, adventurers have found the addresses of the fixed portals on the first five floors. If you want it, I have it here. It only costs ten gold coins. If you don’t have this map, then you have to be careful. , it is possible to enter a random portal at any time and be transported to the depths of Leyline Maze City, where there are various high-level monsters. "

When she heard that a map cost ten gold coins, Domila's eyes widened instantly. The gray dwarves' black heart made her furious. Their money-hungry character made it impossible for her to accept spending ten gold coins to buy a map.

But Imrik didn't care, it was just ten gold coins. For him, he had dropped it on the roadside and was too lazy to bend down to pick it up for fear of getting lost.

He took out ten gold coins again in exchange for four maps, respectively marking the routes from the entrance to the next floor on the second to fifth floors.

He put the map away with satisfaction. It was not a good deal for him to spend ten gold coins to avoid looking for a fixed portal in an underground place with many monsters.

Everyone continued to move forward and came to the fixed portal. A rotating prism with blue light appeared in front of them.

"Incredible, what a perfect creation. It not only contains the power of magic, but also has magical structures that I can't understand." The bard walked forward and observed the portal.

"It's really incredible. It's really interesting." Imrik was also surprised to observe the magical creation in front of him. He recognized the structure of the portal in front of him. He had seen it in an encyclopedia introducing the artificer profession before. , this seems to be a lost technology, an artificer structure that only existed in the Imasca Empire in ancient times.

But what is interesting is that all the portals in Leyline City were built by Hellast, using various technologies he invented himself, which is unique in Faerûn.

Therefore, why does a legendary mage who has only existed for two hundred years know the technology of the artificer, and it is also the technology of the lost ancient empire?

The black-robed mage thought with interest.

"Okay, stop studying and go quickly. I can't wait to collect those lovely gold coins!" Domira urged with gleaming eyes.

Everyone collectively touched the portal, a burst of blue light flashed, and they instantly reached the second floor.

The portal on the second floor is in a cave. The adventurers are much sparser compared to the first floor. Only a few dozen people raised their eyes to glance at Imrik and others, and then continued to rest.

I have checked the data and it is speculated based on the data that the Mad Mage has indeed learned the technology of Imaskar, the ancient wonder weapon empire. I won’t say why. This will save readers who don’t know about it from spoilers. I will talk about it later.
