One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 196 The first step in countering the entanglement symbol

"That's it?"

Wilmes swooped down from the sky with a look of surprise and disbelief all over his face.

Because as a giant dragon, she could feel that the woman holding the sub-artifact [Stand of the Archmage] had a very powerful ability to cast spells.

Not only has several spells such as [Arcane Vision], [Dark Vision], and [See Through Invisibility] become constant on him.

And at the moment of being attacked, he used the super magic technique - instant spell casting, and released the four-ring magic [secondary spell invalid barrier].

Immediately afterwards, there was another five-ring spell [Guardian of Life], to ensure that no matter what kind of damage he suffered during the period when the spell was in effect, he would not really die.

In the end, there is also the five-ring [Force Wall], which is also an instant spell, creating an invisible wall in front of him that no creature can pass through.

well known.

The super magic skill - instant spell casting needs to be upgraded by four levels on the basis of the original ring position of the spell.

That is to say, the magic of the fifth ring needs the spell slots of the nine rings to memorize, and the spell slots of the fourth ring need the spell slots of the eight rings.

Based on this alone, it can be judged that Lei Yin's spellcasting level is definitely not as simple as just getting a nine-ring spell slot.

Because according to the habit of most high-level mages, if two nine-ring spell slots are used to prepare instant magic, then there must be two nine-ring spell slots to prepare real nine-ring magic.

Four nine-ring spell slots, this is the level that LV20 is only one step away from becoming a legendary spellcaster.

After all, the magic equipment that can increase the power of the nine-ring arcane is not much less rare than the [Stand of the Archmage].

It's a pity that Lei Yin focused all her attention on the casters including Zuo Si, completely ignoring the threat from behind.

As a result, he was instantly taken away by a [Magic Breaking Arrow] from Huntington, who was ambushing on the treetop.

If her [Wall of Force] was placed at the back instead of the front, then she would definitely be able to block the arrows.

After all, [Wall of Force] can almost block all physical attacks or impacts, and its strength is even far higher than fine gold.

Ordinary magic weapons, there is no good way to take this thing.

In addition, it is completely immune to dispelling magic effects, and only the sixth ring's [Dissociation] and the ninth ring's [Great Disintegration] can destroy it, so many mages like to use this trick to protect or divide the battlefield.

However, Lei Yin's reaction did not exceed Zuo Si's expectations.

Because he discovered a long time ago that most of the high-level mages in this world have an almost stubborn arrogance and prejudice.

They simply look down on warriors, thieves, and barbarians who have no ability to cast spells and rely entirely on their bodies for food.

Therefore, in battle, as long as you have enough protection on your body, high-level mages will subconsciously ignore the threat of "choppers" and target mages, warlocks, druids, priests, and bards who are also spellcasters. on the poet.

Although this way of thinking cannot be said to be completely wrong, after all, the threat of spellcasters is always much greater than that of "choppers".

But from the "God's perspective", if the "choppers" have powerful enough magic weapons and equipment, the threat they pose is not small at all.

Today's [Magic Breaking Arrow] is the best example.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si couldn't help sighing slightly: "Sure enough, we need to be more cautious in the future. Otherwise, underestimating any enemy in battle may be very fatal."

"I think you are cautious enough..."

The half-orc Rhett couldn't help but whispered.

Because since he followed Zuo Si, except for the first time he participated in the dragon slaying in Mailatma and was seriously injured, the rest of the battles were basically one-sided crushing games.

In the face of Zuo Si's well-planned, planned and insidious means, most of the enemies will lose most of their combat effectiveness under the effect of poison even before the battle begins.

Coupled with a large amount of magic equipment, healing potions, and even a lot of protection and strengthening BUFF before the battle.

In many cases, it is completely killing chickens with a bull's knife.

If that wasn't prudence enough, Rhett really didn't know what to call it.

"No, it's not enough. You don't know how many dangers are hidden in this world. If you are not careful, Lei Yin's fate will be a lesson for the past."

With that said, Zuo Si took out a blank card, raised his hand to activate the power of the planeswalker's spark, and directly together with the [Stand of the Archmage], made this woman into a card.

Accompanied by bright and dazzling glare, a card appeared in the palm of the hand out of thin air.

[Creature Card: Tiefling (Purgatory Bloodline) - Archmage]

[LV6 blue card (cannot be upgraded temporarily, lacks legendary spells and related knowledge)]

[Card Quality: Precious]

[Effect: Summon a female tiefling mage named Lei Yin (LV15 Conjuration Specialized Mage/LV5 Archmage) to serve the Planeswalker.

She has mastered powerful nine-ring magic including "wishing", "gate to another world", "time stop", "imprisonment", "ninth-level monster summoning", "transportation circle", "hell army".

At the same time, master many super magic skills such as instant spell casting, powerful spells, extreme spell effects, spell upgrades, and spell delays, as well as the unique high-level arcane abilities of the archmage.

And he is very good at the eight-ring magic "Advanced Alien Oath Binding". You can use this spell to summon more powerful alien creatures, and order the other party to work for you for a long time by paying a certain price.

In addition, Lei Yin is also proficient in "counter-spell control" and "powerful summoning".

The former is the high-level arcane ability of the archmage, which can directly bounce back to the caster after successfully countering a spell;

The latter can summon stronger and more powerful monsters (summoned creature Strength and Constitution +4).

She possesses a sub-artifact "The Staff of the Archmage", as well as many powerful magic items.

Lei Yin can understand any language you speak, and obey every order you give, until she dies or cancels the summoning]

[To use this card, you need to pay 15 points of general magic power, or 15 points of blue magic power]

[When the Tieflin Archmage is killed, the card will automatically enter the graveyard and wait for rebirth for ten days]

"Sure enough, as I expected, Lei Yin's spellcasting level has reached LV20, and she is also a typical conjuration specialization mage. And it almost surpassed LV6 level to reach the level of legend..."

Looking at the detailed instructions on the new card in his hand, Zuo Si couldn't help showing a smug smile.

After all, the higher Lei Yin's spellcasting level is, the greater the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction she will get from successfully plotting against her.

There is a proportional relationship between the two.

It's as if some game players always like to take an unusual path and use various special props and skills to easily kill the boss that should have been a hard fight.

In contrast, Zuo Si was not too surprised that Lei Yin, who always looked like a human female, turned out to be a tiefling in her true race.

Since the constant [True Seeing] on the ring can see through the deformation effect, he already knew the opponent's true appearance.

Because if I remember correctly, the Lord of Talismans, Shangra, was also a Tiefling during his lifetime.

Maybe Lei Yin and him may still have some relatives, or they are simply descendants left before they became a lich.

Demons and devil-hybrids are not as uncommon in slavery Calimshan as they are elsewhere.

Many slave owners will hire a mage to summon a demon or devil to forcefully mate with a human female and then give birth to offspring.

These hybrids not only have an exotic appearance, but also are far stronger than pure-blooded humans in terms of physical fitness, and can be sold at a higher price.

If trained and cultivated from an early age, they will become very good warlocks, mages, fighters and thieves.

Without any hesitation!

Zuo Si immediately summoned Lei Yin again after reading the detailed information on the card.

In the blink of an eye, a tiefling woman with reddish skin, slightly protruding horns on both sides of her forehead, and a tail protruding from her robe appeared out of thin air. She didn't have wings or other features of purgatory blood. Not the kind of first-generation mixed blood, but at least three generations later.

You don't need to ask to know, this is what Lei Yin really looks like.

The previous human image was the effect of some permanent high-level transformation magic.

"Owner."

As soon as she was summoned, Lei Yin immediately put one hand on her chest and bowed deeply.

"You already know what you should do, right?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.

Lei Yin replied without thinking: "Of course. While controlling the Jade Association, I will use my identity to lurk by the side of the master of the symbols, Shangra, to collect information and find out every move that entangles the symbols."

Zuo Si nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Since you know what you are going to do, then I can rest assured that the four high-ranking mages and the dracolich Barisryat will be handed over to you as helpers. Note Wait, your first task is to find out the names, identities, and origins of all the masters of symbols. The second is to integrate the resources of the Emerald Association, especially the gem vein they have mastered."

"Please rest assured, I will do my best to complete this task." Archmage Tiefling vowed.

I'm afraid Shangla would never have imagined that the disciple he had cultivated with great difficulty, Lei Yin, who was destined to become the new master of symbols in the future, would be directly made into a card by Zuo Si, and then his identity would be directly reversed to become a deadly spy.

But unfortunately, everything is now a foregone conclusion.

Soon, under the leadership of Lei Yin, four human high-level mages, a dracolich, hundreds of skeleton warriors without self-awareness, plus a few golems and other constructs at the bottom of the emerald association organization, that's it Under the effect of teleportation magic, he directly returned to the lair in Kezula.

Since only one of the five high-level executives died, it didn't take much effort for the few people to work together to quickly complete the control of the entire organization from top to bottom.

In this way, the Emerald Association, which secretly rebelled against the Masked Mages Guild in Amn, has unknowingly changed its master.

Zuo Si also opened the portal, and sent all temporarily summoned helpers such as the Iron Golem, Giant Mutant Hound, Alena, Orc Reiter, Wilmes and Stranger Things back to the Mage Tower.

And the black dragon will return to its lair, hand over all the treasures it has collected, and check to see if there are other nests of its kind near the swamp.

If there is, then he will record the location of these nests, and then knock on the door when the time is right.

The dragon directly made half-mutilated cards to make cards, and all the treasures were snatched and thrown into the private "little treasury".

The main reason why the helpers were dismissed was that Zuo Si felt that there would not be any large-scale battles in the remaining second half of the journey. At best, there would be some monsters and robbers blocking the way.

Because the closer to Waterdeep City, the lower the possibility of encountering trouble.

What's more, so many people are too eye-catching, he doesn't want anyone along the way to recognize him.

Only the little devil remained as a member of the team.

Through the previous battle with the vampire, Zuo Si discovered that this guy can use [Invisibility] on himself without limit every day, and he is born to be a spy and assassin.

If there is enough strengthening and protective magic in coordination, even if you face the enemy head-on, you will not be at a disadvantage at all.

Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He still ordered his Demon Pet to remain invisible forever unless he got permission, not to show up in front of anyone else, or make even the slightest sound.

The little devil did not dare to disobey the orders given by the powerful, evil, cruel, and cruel master.

Because it understands that if it dares to do something small, it will 100% be thrown into the hot liquid silver and die slowly in the most painful way.

In addition, the severing of the connection with Barto Hell's direct superior also gradually made him get rid of most of the devil's sense of belonging to Hell.

Soon, under the starry sky at night, a group of people walked through the bloody battlefield but not many corpses (the corpses were eaten up by mutant hounds), and came to an open space near the road to rest.

As for the cart and the horses pulling it, they had already been used as bait and "sacrificed" in the enemy's first round of frenzied spell bombing.

Before arriving at Dragonspear Castle, it is almost impossible to find a place to buy a means of transportation.

Because of this, Zuo Si was so eager to take a quick rest, and when he woke up tomorrow morning, he would use one ring of spell slots to record three [summoning mounts] of the conjuration system.

Regardless of the low level of this spell, it can summon an ordinary horse every time it is cast, and it also comes with a pair of bridles and saddles, and the duration is two hours for each level of casting.

Zuo Si's current arcane casting level is nine, and the summoned horse can last for eighteen hours, which is completely enough.

Moreover, the summoned horse does not need to rest or eat, which is far more useful than the one bought with money.

But Zuo Si didn't know that a legendary undead creature, Winter Ghost, was watching his every move.

Right now, it has quickly returned to the private room at the headquarters of the Askatla Masked Mage Guild through a teleportation magic item, and reported to its master, Sean VII.

After the powerful necromancer who occupied Zeranora's body heard everything, an expression of surprise and surprise appeared on his face.

"You mean... Sous has some kind of ability to absolutely control a person, and then turned Shang Ge's most trusted and outstanding disciple into a spy who in turn broke into the symbol of entanglement?"

"That's right! At least that's how it looks to me. In fact, he seems to have the power to make people or other creatures into magic props. I saw him combine a black dragon, four emerald high-level mages, and There is Lei Yin himself, who made something like a card, and then summoned it."

Winter ghost bluntly said everything he saw.

Due to the lack of necessary magical knowledge, it can't even tell whether Zuo Si is using divine or arcane spells.

"Could it be the ability of the voters?" Sean VII rubbed his chin and guessed.

In fact, there is no good way to confirm it except guessing.

After all, Zuo Si has been a voter for too short a time, and he is also a visitor from another world.

Seeing as no one knows whether the abilities he wields are special magical arts from another world, or the power of the Chosen bestowed upon him by Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease.

Coupled with the fact that divine power can block most of the detection magic, up to now, many interested organizations only know Zuo Si's approximate arcane and divine spellcasting levels.

Winter Ghost shook his head lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't know. But one thing is for sure, that is, Sous doesn't have any affection for the entanglement symbol. On the contrary! He is full of vigilance towards this organization, so he chooses to strike first For strength. With Lei Yin as a spy, I think we can consider how to cooperate. Because if there is no accident, Sous will soon figure out the names and identities of most of the masters of symbols."

"Do you think it's a wise choice to show your identity to him now?"

Sean VII asked in an uncertain tone.

"Cooperation does not have to reveal identity. Since Sous has actually mastered the Emerald Society now, you can completely cover up this organization, provide various information, and even promise that one day in the future, let him become a Meng Facemage's de facto master, in exchange for an alliance against the Entangling Rune."

Dong Gui didn't hide anything, and simply followed his own thoughts.

Because it knew that its master's real goal was to kill all the enemies and return to Calimport to restore the glory of the Shane Dynasty.

As long as this can be achieved, let alone the control of a mere masked mage guild, it doesn't matter if Amn, the former border land of the empire, is ceded.

"What about the reason? What reason and purpose do I want to ask for information about the entanglement symbol?"

After a moment of contemplation, Sean VII directly raised the most critical trouble.

You must know that the entanglement symbol is not like the Harper Alliance, the Zhentalin Society, the Dragon Cult, the Red Robe Wizard, and the Arcane Brotherhood. They wish they could make themselves known throughout Faerun.

This is an extremely secretive organization, and most outsiders can't even confirm whether it really exists.

This also means that the identity of anyone who knows the entanglement symbol is quite suspicious.

"It's very simple. You don't even need to give any reason at all, you just need to show that you are the enemy of the entanglement symbol. With a common enemy, there will naturally be a consistent interest. I think there is no reason for Sous to refuse .”

After saying these words, Winter Ghost turned back to the cabinet in the room, and closed the door with a bang.

Sean VII kept his original sitting posture, motionless like a wax figure, and didn't know what he was thinking.

But one thing is certain, he is quite moved by the proposal of his subordinate Winter Ghost.

...

In fact, I noticed that the battle that took place at the junction of the Roaring Forest of the Trolls and the High Wasteland was not just Sean VII.

The Harpers and Zhentarim, who have spies in every corner of Faerûn, have also noticed.

After all, the Emerald Association made too much noise for this ambush.

It is impossible to deceive the druids and rangers in the forest just by charm controlling so many trolls, hobgoblins, bear goblins and wolves.

And many druids and rangers are staunch allies of the Harper, or are simply members of the Harper.

So when the "intense" battle was over, someone followed the smell and found it immediately.

When they saw the blood-stained ground, countless broken limbs and broken arms scattered among the dirt and gravel, various "little bits and pieces" such as eyeballs and intestines, and a large area of ​​traces of powerful magic bombing, one Everyone was shocked speechless.

The man dressed as a druid exclaimed in an unbelievable tone: "It's not right! Why did such a large-scale battle leave only a few mutilated corpses and fragments? Where is it?"

"Maybe... was taken away by being transformed into an undead creature?" Another young woman next to her guessed in an uncertain tone.

But it was quickly denied by the man in charge: "There is no such possibility. Because I can't feel any signs of being eroded and polluted by strong negative energy on this land. If it is a large-scale undead transformation ceremony, how could it be possible?" Leave no trace."

"Damn! Hearing you say that, things seem to be getting more creepy." An elf dressed as a ranger couldn't help but shiver.

"Look! What did I find? The dust left over from some vampires being killed by powerful positive energy!"

"There are still traces of two giant dragons fighting here!"

"And this! There are several unactivated evil summoning circles here!"

"Sivanus, the father of the oak tree! Look at this footprint! I bet its owner must be at least seven or eight meters tall and weigh more than fifty tons."

All of a sudden, the people who had dispersed to investigate the entire battlefield just now reported the abnormal situation they saw.

Especially the terrifying footprints left by the mutated hounds completely dumbfounded this group of druids who claimed to know everything about all kinds of animals and plants in nature.

Because they simply can't find any kind of creature that can match this kind of footprints from their own memories.

A female druid carefully took out a handful of thick and hard exfoliated cuticles from the soil of the footprints, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I... I think we seem to have found something extraordinary. You guys Did you see? Even if the stratum corneum is peeled off from the skin, it is still as hard as a stone, and the cells are not dead, and are still trying to repair and regenerate."

"Could it be that those disappeared corpses were all eaten by this unknown monster?" The ranger next to him couldn't help but shiver.

A gigantic monster that seems to have the ability to regenerate almost infinitely by devouring corpses?

Just thinking about it is depressing!

Although he didn't know what happened, the number of trolls in the Roaring Troll Forest probably wouldn't return to the previous level in ten or twenty years.

It can be said that the surrounding scenes and clues can be called a "war" rather than a battle or an ambush.

In order to find out what happened, the druids and rangers who joined the Harper Alliance began to send help to other strongholds around them through various channels, hoping to find some arcane spellcasters who are proficient in divination magic help.

As old enemies, not long after the Harpers obtained the first-hand information, the spies of the Zhentarim also quickly learned the specific situation by intercepting the information.

About a few hours later, the information was placed on Manson's desk.

This powerful legendary mage probably glanced twice, then raised his head and asked his most trusted disciple: "Xi Manmeng, what do you think of this matter?"

"Me? I'm sorry, teacher. Due to the lack of information, I haven't been able to deduce what happened. But one thing can be confirmed, the voters of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, 100% have the ability to create a Carnage. He's strong, much stronger than we expected."

Xi Manmeng gave his own opinion without thinking.

Thousands of trolls...

Hundreds of hobgoblins and bear goblins...

Dozens of vampires who were burned alive by positive energy and turned into dust...

There are also countless forest beasts under control...

In addition, four or five high-level mages joined forces...

To be honest, Xi Manmeng himself didn't dare to say that he could escape from such an ambush, let alone drive out all the enemies in reverse.

"It seems that we will send a few spies to investigate on the spot."

Manson was obviously quite interested in the matter.

Since he has been competing with the Chosen of Bane, the god of tyranny, for the control of the Zhentarim all the year round, he still has a certain understanding of the power of the "chosen" group.

For example, Fuzuoer Chamberui has a body that never ages, and his divine power will give him strong physical and magical resistance. His shadow is controlled by him like a shadow, and he can summon the dead-eyed tyrant to help him at any time Attack the enemy, use [command spell] freely and without restriction, and permanently bless [mind barrier], [endure elemental damage], [protect negative energy] and other magical effects on your body.

Beyond that, there's a plethora of spell-like abilities, as well as special powers like "Spell Hand" and "Heretic Bombardment."

It can be said that it is precisely because of the powerful power bestowed by God on the elect that Fuzzor Chambery is qualified to compete with Mansong.

Otherwise, how could a mere priest with less than LV20 magic spell casting level be the opponent of a veteran legendary mage.

"Don't worry about this, I've already arranged for people to go. But since the harpists are active in this area right now, our people may need to lurk for a while."

As always, Symamond kept the Zhentarim's dark intelligence network in order.

This is why he has been able to sit firmly in his current position, no matter how fierce the internal faction struggle is, he can still deal with it calmly.

Hearing this sentence, Mansong immediately nodded in satisfaction: "Good job. It doesn't matter if the information is a little slower, but it must be accurate and detailed. By the way, regarding the plan to deal with those restless Cyric Church members, we will proceed now. How is it?"

Simon quickly replied: "I have almost made the list. The next step is to arrange a random task, and then let our allies do it, and clean them up once and for all. However, with Cyric's belief in Shanti Fort is growing rapidly, this method may only temporarily ease the tense confrontation, and the conflict will still break out in a few years."

"It doesn't matter! Let's wait a few years to see the situation."

Manson waved his hand indifferently.

He trusted his friend and rival, Fuzzel Chamberry, to handle matters of faith.

What's more, Bane, the god of tyranny, has a foundation of belief in Zhentil Castle, which is far beyond what a new god like Cyric can match.

...

After resting all night, Zuo Si opened his eyes early in the morning the next day, took out the spell book from his satchel, and began to memorize and prepare for today's spell.

After eating a simple breakfast, he immediately cast [Summon Mount].

In the blink of an eye, three fairly robust horses appeared in front of everyone out of thin air.

The dragonborn knight Davidian chose the strongest horse as his mount, and the archer Huntington chose the second strongest horse.

The last horse was shared by the lighter Zuo Si and Isadora.

As for the little devil, just follow the horse and fly slowly.

Since Zuo Si was forced to participate in some dangerous trials more than once when he went out to perform missions in the high tower of the floating city, Zuo Si's riding skills are not bad.

At least it will not fall off when the horse is sprinting at full speed.

In contrast, the girl who has almost never traveled far from childhood has no riding skills at all.

In addition, she was wearing a beautiful silk dress, so there was no way to spread her legs.

He could only sit sideways on the saddle in front, and hugged Zuo Si behind him who was in charge of driving the horse.

But Isadora really likes this kind of close contact with zero distance, with a slightly happy smile on her face throughout the whole process, and even hopes that this journey will never end like this.

After traveling along the main road for about six or seven hours, a huge ruin composed of a dilapidated high wall covered with weeds, as well as various ruined walls and abandoned towers appeared on the horizon in the distance.

There is no doubt that this is the famous "Dragonspear Castle" on the west coast of Faerun.

Its creator was more than 130 years ago (DR1225), a famous adventurer in the Northland—Delos Dragonspear, a half-dwarf with a big beard (it is said to have half-human blood).

At the beginning, Delos Dragonspear was just to help a friend, Hale Tessera, a powerful red copper dragon, who met during the adventure, against the endless orcs and goblin robbers who wanted to steal treasures in the wasteland. .

However, with the establishment of the castle, many dwarves and humans came to settle near the castle, establishing a small town with a population of thousands.

After all, in Faerun, a strong castle means that it can resist monsters and beasts from the wilderness, and can give shelter to civilians who have little resistance.

What's more, Delos Dragonspear will also ride his friend, the copper dragon, Haltessera, and will regularly patrol around the castle to eliminate all enemies that may pose a threat to the settlement.

So for a long time, Dragonspear Castle was very safe.

In addition, due to its geographical location just stuck between Waterdeep City and Baldur's Gate, it was the only place where caravans could stop along the way, so it didn't take long for it to become very prosperous.

But soon, the treasures of the Copper Dragon and the treasures obtained by Delos Dragonspear in the adventure attracted the prying eyes of countless evil mages.

One of the Calishite mages named Isatarus Casalia successfully created a powerful magic that could put dragons to sleep, and then secretly set up a magician in the depths of Dragonspear Castle. A portal.

By creating the illusion of a copper dragon falling asleep, the cunning mage managed to lure Delos Dragonspear to the portal, where he mercilessly killed him.

By sacrificing the souls of powerful mortals, a permanent portal to "Avernas" on the first floor of Bator Hell was opened.

Some demons soon discovered the portal and launched a raid on Dragonspear Castle.

Dragonspear Castle immediately organized a counterattack and tried to drive the devil back to the other side of the portal.

The underground battle between the two sides led to the withdrawal of the defense forces outside the castle.

Isatarus Casalia took the opportunity to unite with the other three evil dragons to attack the copper dragon's lair.

Unsurprisingly, the besieged red copper dragon, Haltessera, was killed.

And the mage took advantage of the kung fu of the dragons fighting each other, and took away the most precious and valuable things in the treasure.

When one of the black dragons who contributed the most energy returned to the dragon's nest after the battle, he found that there were only a few gold coins left in the mountain of treasures, and immediately fell into an uncontrollable rage.

He felt that he had been tricked, so he quickly found the mage and attacked him without hesitation, using his strong acid breath to corrode the unsuspecting guy until there was not even a corpse left.

In the end, under the combined attack of the evil dragon, the devils pouring out from the underground portal, and various monsters from the wasteland, Dragonspear Castle was completely turned into ruins.

Those who chose to settle here basically died or fled, leaving only the abandoned castle that still looks majestic now.

Dragonspear Castle was even once occupied by a hobgoblin chieftain as a base for raiding caravans.

It wasn't until the two trading city-states of Waterdeep City and Baldur's Gate couldn't bear this kind of behavior that they joined forces to completely wipe it out.

But unfortunately, the underground portal to hell cannot be easily closed.

Therefore, the coalition forces can only hand it over to the Church of God of War who voluntarily took over.

The current Dragonspear Castle is actually controlled by the priests of the God of War Tempus and a large number of adventurers who want to be famous and rich.

Because the former provides corresponding medical services, and also allows and encourages the latter to kill and plunder the unwelcome residents of the nearby underground world and loot their spoils, the number of adventurers and mercenaries has always been quite large.

Coupled with the fact that the underground part is connected to the Underdark and Baator Hell, various specialties and captured monsters and slaves can often be sold at very high prices.

Many people who have confidence in their own strength want to try their luck.

Of course, a large part of them never came out after entering the intricate underground labyrinth.

"Finally arrived at Dragonspear Castle. I hope there are better carriages for sale here, not those carts that pull goods, otherwise I would rather continue riding." Zuo Si whispered while looking at the ruins in the distance.

"Is the carriage that pulls goods bad?" Isadora blinked curiously.

"That's right! Especially on a dirt road full of rocks and potholes in the wild, the intensity of the up and down bumps of the truck can even shake your brains, making you unable to resist vomiting out everything in your stomach. " Zuo Si described with slightly exaggerated words.

On the way back to Amn with Bernard and the caravan, he had already seen the technical level of several mainstream carriages in Faerun.

Except for the carriages specially designed for rich people to ride with their own levitation magic, the rest will certainly not be too comfortable to sit on.

The carriage responsible for pulling the goods is constantly bumping violently along the way, and the shock absorption design is almost equivalent to no.

Even people who don't get "motion sickness" will inevitably feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable in this kind of carriage for a long time.

But in a place like Dragonspear Castle, it is definitely impossible to buy a magic carriage.

Zuo Si could only settle for the next best thing, see if he could buy a decent ordinary carriage, and then make some modifications by himself.

If that doesn't work, you'll have to build one yourself from scratch.

"Master, I think you'd better not have too high expectations." Davidian couldn't help pouring cold water on it.

He didn't think Dragonspear Castle, a place where adventurers gathered, would have any decent carriages.

Just the opposite!

Judging from the general economic capabilities of adventurers in the Faerun continent, there are definitely only a handful of people who can afford to buy a fully enclosed carriage as a means of transportation. It is not bad to have a dozen or twenty trucks responsible for transporting supplies.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Anyway, it's just a chance. By the way, take a closer look at this fortress that connects the Underdark and Baator Hell, and see if there is anything worth buying."

In this way, a group of four people, plus a little devil who remained invisible, were successfully allowed to enter the interior of the towering wall after undergoing routine questioning and inspection by the guards at the gate.

Different from the dilapidated and deserted one from the outside, the inside of Dragonspear Castle was actually quite lively, and there were really many people living there.

You can even see the Temple of the God of War standing next to the main building of the castle, and there are several hotels and taverns dedicated to providing services for passing caravans and adventurers entering the underground.

In addition, there is no shortage of blacksmith shops, grocery stores, and small shops that specialize in selling magic items.

Some adventurers simply set up stalls on the side of the road, selling the loot they just obtained to passing merchants.

Among them are weapons, armor, gems, ores, books, scrolls and other dead objects, as well as low-level devils, tieflings, gray dwarves, dark elves and other unlucky eggs captured in battle.

Since Tempus, the god of war, is a god of neutral chaos, his clerics are not averse to treating defeated captives as slaves.

Just when Zuo Si was looking for valuable things in these stalls with great interest, a loud sound suddenly came from inside the castle.

Immediately afterwards, he saw six or seven fully armed adventurers dragging a huge, snail-like creature slowly walking out of it.

This huge creature was obviously dead, and its entire head had been chopped off with a sharp weapon.

I don't know if it's blood or body fluid, leaving a very obvious drag mark on the ground, and then quickly solidified into a translucent crystal like glass.

Of course, what really attracted Zuo Si was not the body of the slain monster, but the equally huge and beautiful shell behind it that shone with colorful luster.

In this shell, he felt quite amazing anti-magic properties.

"My god! Did they manage to hunt a flail snail? And with barely any damage to the shell?"

An adventurer who was setting up a stall couldn't help but exclaim.

Another person next to him said in a tone of envy, envy and hatred: "What a piece of shit luck! I remember that a complete flail snail shell can sell for at least five thousand gold coins, right?"

"Of course! That's a small flail snail shell! Considering it's size, I don't think it will be a problem to sell it for 10,000 gold coins."

"Damn! Why didn't such a good thing happen to me."

"Shut up! Just like you, if you dare to attack the flail snail, you will probably be killed on the spot."

"Yeah! Flail snails are no easy target. Only elite squads can handle them."

...

All of a sudden, everyone around was talking about it.

After all, such a situation of getting rich overnight after returning from an adventure can bring the most intense spiritual and sensory stimulation.
