One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 206 The Crazy Mage's Apprentice

Duergar, stone titan, fire titan, serpent, troglodyte, tauren, construct, petrified lizard, ooze, armored monster, mimic, water goblin, lightning lizard, xorn, Scavengers, umber hulks, mushroommen, mind flayers, dark elves, githyanki, and all manner of dragons, elementals, daemons, demons, and celestial beings...

As the layers of the lost city of the leylines entered deeper and deeper, Zuo Si finally realized that besides himself, the original "crazy mage" Helast Black Robe was the No. 1 "Pokémon Master" in the continent of Faerun .

The number and types of native creatures and alien creatures collected by this guy are simply too numerous to count.

Some of them were so rare that even he had only happened to read about them in some old books in Candlekeep.

Of course, based on the principle that what is yours is mine and what is mine is mine.

Zuo Si killed a lot of monsters along the way and made countless creature cards.

Even the [Secretist] profession has been upgraded from LV5 to LV6, and at the same time, he has obtained six-ring spell slots and divine spell slots.

In addition, the attributes of agility and strength have also been improved a little due to the continuous absorption of life energy.

【Name: Zuo Si】

[Race: Human]

[Power: 10+7 (17)]

[Agility: 11+7 (18)]

[Physique: 15+7 (22)]

[Perception: 19+4 (23)]

[Intelligence: 18+5 (23)]

[Charm: 13 (the calculation was wrong last time, but it cannot be modified due to the chapter lock, so I will correct it here)]

【Planeswalker—LV7】

[Creator (mimetic effect) - LV11]

[Mage/Mystic (mimetic effect)——LV5/LV6]

[Priest (reward for voters) - LV5]

[Spell slots (counted as equipment and arranged from low to high): 9/9/6/5/4/3]

[Spell slot: 9/8/7/6/5/4]

Obviously, with the blessing of the two pieces of equipment [Spell Boosting Headband] and [Ring of Sharpness Storage] strengthened by the God of Knowledge Oghma, Zuo Si's daily spellcasting quantity has reached enough for the same level The level of envy, jealousy and hatred felt by other spellcasters.

The newly obtained six-ring arcane spells and divine spells greatly enriched his spells, as well as the tactics he could choose in battle.

Especially the six-ring magical technique [activated item], which can directly make weapons and shields come alive, and automatically attack and defend.

In the melee, as long as one or two daggers, throwing knives and other inconspicuous gadgets are activated for sneak attacks, they can often play unexpected roles.

In addition, strengthening spells such as [Bear's Tenacity] and [Bull's Power] can finally evolve from a single body to a group.

That is to say, you can add it to more than a dozen people around you once you use it once.

The six-ring magical technique [Hero Banquet] can create a table full of rich and delicious food out of thin air.

All people who have eaten food and drank drinks will immediately remove the negative status, and will be immune to most toxins and fear emotions for up to twelve hours, keeping the morale of the entire team high, and even gaining a similar "false life" Effect.

As for the specific recipe of [Heroes Feast], it can be reproduced based on the memory of the most delicious food in the caster's mind.

In other words, Zuo Si can directly create high-end dishes that need to be prepared for ten hours or even several days directly out of thin air.

With this magical technique, things like cooking can be avoided once and for all.

Of course, the effect of the six-ring magic is so amazing, and the arcane magic is naturally not too bad.

[Anti-magic force field] can instantly eliminate all spell effects within a radius of three meters, even suppress magic items so that they cannot function normally, and even summoned creatures will be affected.

Wanting to cast spells within this range is basically daydreaming.

But Zuo Si discovered that the creatures summoned in the planeswalker card are immune to [anti-magic force field].

This also means that he can summon a large number of creatures first in the battle between spellcasters.

Then release the [Anti-Magic Force Field] centered on oneself, directly and completely destroy all the magic protection on the opponent within a short range, and then the summoned creature will defeat or even kill it.

In addition, a series of powerful spells such as [Serial Lightning], [Trigger], [Bigby Flying Five], [Disintegration], [Petrification], [Tan Sen Transformation] and other powerful spells have also been added. Select range.

Among them, [Tan Sen's Transformation Technique] is basically equivalent to a small [War God Possession].

It can provide the caster with an additional four points of strength, agility and constitution attributes.

At the same time, you will get a strong physical defense like a level fighter, as well as a lot of skills and combat experience in using weapons.

Of course, the price is to temporarily lose all spellcasting ability, and completely become like a warrior to think.

But Zuo Si already has a better choice, so he won't consider using [Tan Sen Transformation] for a while.

Just the opposite!

After he learned [Anti-Magic Field], he immediately set his sights on [Trigger] and [Disintegration].

The former is one of the mage's signature magic. It can set the conditions and the spell you want to release in advance, and then when the conditions are met, the spell will be triggered automatically without any spells or gestures.

Generally speaking, the trigger condition is nothing more than saying a password, or being attacked or injured.

The spell will memorize some protective magic, as well as teleportation magic like [Any Door] that can immediately transfer oneself to a safe place.

The overall principle is "life-saving" first.

No mage would use [Trigger Spell] to trigger to release offensive magic, it would definitely be because he didn't die fast enough.

[Disintegration Technique] Although it is not as practical as [Trigger Technique], it can be used to destroy many things that are difficult to destroy by ordinary methods.

For example, a force field effect like [Wall of Force], or something as hard as a Lich's phylactery.

Zuo Si felt that if he went all the way to the bottom of the Lost City on the ground, his spellcasting level would probably be able to break through 21, and he would officially become a legendary spellcaster with both magical and arcane spells.

But unfortunately, after entering the tenth floor, the dwarf Luge no longer knew the way, and the entire adventure team could only shuttle back and forth in the complex and changeable maze.

At first, it is often within an hour or less to pass through a place repeatedly.

Later, with the cooperation of Zuo Si's amazing observation and memory, he drew a general map of the area, and then he got rid of the lost situation.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of dark elves and various undead creatures on this floor.

In just a few hours, they encountered more than a dozen sudden battles.

Even the abandoned temple of Lolth, the spider goddess, and statues of Selvetarm, the dark elf warrior god, have even been found.

Next to the latter statue are eight petrified drow.

However, Zuo Si obviously didn't have time to help them undo the petrification one by one, and directly let the Dragonborn Knight wield a hammer to smash all of them into mana.

Plus the breeding room for raising and hatching giant spiders...

It can be seen that there were obviously many dark elves living on this floor.

But later, due to unknown reasons, he finally had to choose to retreat.

Those leftover buildings, daily necessities and weapons are the best proof.

However, the retreat was a retreat, and the dark elves did not give up their territory. Instead, they were repeatedly engaging in tug-of-war with another force here.

It is often seen that their patrols kill the undead creatures wandering in every corner with lightning speed.

After another short battle with the drow patrol, the dwarf unceremoniously stripped off the enemy's most valuable weapons and armor, and put them into the dimensional bag that Davidian carried.

Although these equipment with powerful and evil magic power have a huge flaw, that is, they will slowly disintegrate in the sun, and eventually become a pile of metal powder.

But no matter what, it was a magic item, in which both weapons and armor were mixed with a certain proportion of pure gold.

As long as it is brought back to Waterdeep City, there will be countless gangs and thieves guilds who specialize in night operations, willing to pay a high price to buy it.

A weapon can be sold for three thousand to four thousand gold coins, and a non-reflective chain mail can be sold for more than eight thousand.

Because the enchantment level of these weapons is generally above +3, they can easily pierce most breastplates, making them very suitable for sneak attacks and assassinations.

And the protection of the drow fine gold chain mail is even far higher than that of the mithril chain mail made by the dwarves, and it is many times stronger than those gaudy gadgets made by the master of armor in Waterdeep City—Silmo.

So the high price of eight thousand gold coins is not worth making a fuss about.

Throwing the naked body of the dark elf into the tunnel beside him, Luge immediately showed a satisfied smile: "It's a good harvest. The drows on the tenth floor are much richer than the drows on the upper floors. Look at these weapons, locks Zijia and stealth cloaks, all with family crests printed on them."

"Having a family crest is not a good thing. It means that there is a powerful family behind them. Especially this kind of magic crafting technology that only senior blacksmiths of the dark elves know, not just any small family can have it." Yes." The poet reminded in a low voice.

"I know. Last time we were hunted down to the sixth floor by a team led by a damn drow priest. If we meet again this time, we must settle the score with her." Ruger said through gritted teeth. .

The dwarves are obviously also a very vengeful race, and they will never forget any enemy who has offended them.

"Come on. I don't want to meet that crazy woman and her crazy and evil subordinates again."

The halfling thief Cora rolled her eyes out of breath.

Needless to ask, she knew that this level of well-equipped dark elves made her feel a bit overwhelmed.

After all, dark elves are not only very good at sneaking and ambush, but also extra vigilant.

If you are not careful during the investigation, you will be discovered, and then you will be besieged and besieged.

Just when the dwarf was about to say something, the huge spider statues standing on both sides suddenly came to life and rushed directly towards the resting team.

"careful!"

The poet was the first to notice this scene, and quickly got up from the ground to remind everyone loudly.

Just as he was about to get close to Zuo Si to protect the most important caster in the team, he immediately found that the entire hall was divided by an invisible force field wall.

You don't need to ask, you know, this is the five-ring magic [Wall of Force] at work.

In desperation, the poet could only move closer to the dwarves and halfling thieves in the same area.

And Davidian held a shield and a flaming sword to block the attack of one of the living spider statues.

"Come out, I know you're there."

Zuo Si raised his head and stared at the corner of the ceiling about ten meters high above.

Although the opponent tried to hide himself with [Advanced Invisibility], he was easily seen through by [True Seeing].

"You actually saw through my [Advanced Invisibility Technique]?"

Accompanied by a slightly deep male voice, a group of black shadows suddenly jumped down from the top of the head, and landed firmly on the left side of the hall with a bang.

Through the faint light, everyone could see clearly the true face of the attacker.

This is a strange creature with a human upper body and hands, and the lower body is completely grafted on a huge scorpion.

He held a two-handed sword with a cold light in his hand. He looked like a warrior, but he wore at least two magic rings on his fingers, and there was a magic wand around his waist.

"A talking monster?"

The dwarf attacked the spider statue with a shield crotch, and his face was full of shock and disbelief.

"No! This guy is not a monster, but a warrior and apprentice hired by Helast Black Robe. His name is Mural, a very high-level warrior and mage." Zuo Si poker-faced corrected.

Long before he planned to come to the Lost Land Leyline City, he had already collected all the information related to the "crazy mage".

Especially those apprentices of Helast Black Robe.

"Hahahaha! Unexpectedly, there are still people in this world who remember me. Young man, you have won yourself a chance to live. Now, I give you two choices. One is to become my apprentice, and the other is to help me Kill all the dark elf family that invaded this floor—Evander."

Mural laughed and made the terms.

From the weird look in his eyes and his mental state, it can be seen that he has long been the same as the "mad mage", his sanity has been eroded by the magic net nodes for a long time and has become extremely abnormal.

"It's really arrogant. Do you think you can win?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.

"Why, do you want to have a spell duel with me?"

Mural put away the giant sword and moved his ten fingers eagerly.

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry, although it hurts a bit to say this, but I still want to tell you that there will be no magic duel, there will only be a unilateral crush on you by me."

With the last word blurted out, he directly activated the magic card [Bigby Flying High Five] hidden under the wide sleeve.

next second...

boom!

clang!

This half-human, half-scorpion guy flew out sideways and slammed into a wall not far away.

moment!

【Trigger】Start!

A layer of gray-white stone skin instantly covered that huge body.

Obviously, Mural set the condition of his [Trigger Spell] to be attacked, and the chained spell was the [Stone Skin Spell] of the fourth ring.

As a warrior and mage, this protection magic can give him an advantage in close combat.

It's a pity that it is of no use at all now.

Zuo Si didn't even let Davidian rush forward to suppress the opponent, but threw out four powerful fireball cards at random.

boom! boom! boom! boom!

Accompanied by the terrifying white flame and explosion, Mural was engulfed on the spot by a high temperature exceeding thousands of degrees Celsius.

Although the stone skin technique can effectively resist physical attacks, it is useless to deal with this kind of pure energy damage.

Under the severe pain, he had no choice but to activate the [anti-magic force field] in the magic storage ring in his hand, instantly making all magic completely ineffective against him.

Of course, the price of doing this is that he can no longer use any spells, potions, scrolls or other magic items, and even the stone skin spell on his body has faded.

"Good judgment. It seems that the apprentice of the mad mage is not useless." Zuo Si commented with the corner of his mouth curled up.

Because if the other party didn't use [Anti-Magic Force Field] just now, then he would directly bomb him to death with the plethora of spell cards on hand.

But now, we need to change the strategy a little bit.

"Damn kid! I'm going to kill you!"

Seeing the severely burned and even carbonized parts of his body, the anger in Mural's heart was completely ignited, and he rushed over directly waving his two-handed sword.

Due to his half-human and half-scorpion form, he not only possesses a sharp magic weapon, but also has a poisonous tail thorn behind his buttocks.

It is precisely by virtue of this [anti-magic force field] plus close-to-hand combat tactics that Mural can kill those mages and priests who are not low in level again and again, and repel the dark elf family——Evande's attack on the tenth floor invasion.

Unfortunately, this time he obviously chose the wrong opponent.

Zuo Si knew that the anti-magic force field could eliminate all magical effects, so he directly chose the summoned creature.

Before Mural got within five meters, an elemental creature made of hot magma appeared out of thin air, completely blocking his way like a wall.

boom! ! ! ! !

As soon as the giant lava element appeared, it directly smashed down with its fist.

It is different from the fierce attack method of the stone element that crushes everything.

Because its body is in a semi-liquid state, when the fist hits it, it will instantly turn into hot magma and scatter in all directions.

Although Muralne retreated a few meters decisively with his keen sense of danger, his body was still stained with a large amount of magma splashing over, and he couldn't help howling in pain.

If it wasn't for the transformation into half-human half-scorpion form which greatly improved his vitality and magic resistance, he would have been seriously injured and fell to the ground by now.

"Want to use an anti-magic force field to deal with me? You are really naive! And because of the existence of the anti-magic force field, you can no longer use any spells. You can only fight with me in this not-so-large half hall. The giant lava element is desperate. The so-called cocoon should be a similar situation."

Zuo Si sneered directly to fill up the ridicule.

The duration of the antimagic field is ten minutes per casting level.

This also means that once released, with Mural's casting level, it will last at least two hours.

It is almost equivalent to abolishing his mage level and all the magic items in his body with his own hands.

But this is also impossible.

Because if he didn't use the anti-magic force field, Mural would have been bombarded to death by massive spells just now.

But if he used it, there would be a large number of summoned creatures waiting for him.

It is nothing more than choosing a way of death that you like, and there is no essential difference.

Although Mural can make the anti-magic force field disappear by voluntarily canceling it.

But he, who has already been entangled by the giant lava element, will immediately be bombarded by violent spells once he cancels the anti-magic force field.

Therefore, he could barely maintain the anti-magic force field, and swung his weapon desperately trying to break through the blockade of the huge monster in front of him.

Zuo Si could tell that none of the apprentices like the "crazy mage" Helast Black Robe was a normal person at all.

In other words, normal people are dead.

The rest, without exception, went crazy under the influence of the magic net node.

It's just that some are more obvious, while others seem to be normal, but in fact, changes in thinking and cognition have taken place that ordinary people cannot understand.

It is said that some apprentices successfully escaped from the Lost Leyline City, but in the end they went back by themselves inexplicably.

It is difficult to judge whether this is Helast Black Robe using some kind of powerful charm suggestion magic on him, or he was summoned by the magic net node.

As the lord of the tenth floor of Leyline Lost City, Mural has obviously never suffered such humiliation. Coupled with the attack of lava elements, the temperature of the surrounding environment has risen rapidly, his entire face turned red immediately, and his eyes even shot out. shines with anger.

But it's a pity that now he can only be incompetent and furious.

Because there are no portals or secret passages in this hall abandoned by the dark elves.

The only exit was also blocked by the released wall of force.

Mural, who had lived for more than a thousand years, couldn't accept that in a spell confrontation, he was actually played by a boy who looked like a teenager.

He couldn't even understand why the opponent could release [Bigby Flying High Five] in an instant.

This is a standard sixth-level spell. If it is a super-magic skill - instant casting, it needs to be upgraded to the fourth level in place, and at least one tenth-level spell slot must be consumed!

Anyone who has a spell position above nine rings, counting as one, is 100% a legendary mage.

In addition, Zuo Si released four fireballs with powerful spells in a row in less than a second.

All of this completely overturned Mural's understanding of Faerun's existing magic system.

His mind is very confused now, and he is still a little dazed.

As a result, he was accidentally caught by the giant lava element and slapped it hard on the ground.

With a muffled bang, hot magma covered the huge body of the scorpion.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"

The unbearable pain finally made Mural couldn't help but let out a heart-piercing scream, shaking his body desperately like crazy, trying to crawl out of the magma.

However, the lava element didn't give him this chance, followed by another slap.

In just a few seconds, the apprentice of the "mad mage" Halast Heilust rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

Before the opponent died, Zuo Si unceremoniously took out a blank card and sealed it.

[Creature Card: Half-Scorpion (Magical Transformation)——Warrior and Mage]

[LV7 multi-color card (upgradeable)]

[Card Quality: Precious]

[Effect: Summon a mage and warrior named Mural to serve the Planeswalker.

He has the professional level of LV14 fighter/LV17 mage, masters many high-level combat skills and the highest nine-ring spell slot, and carries a large number of magic items with him.

Especially the +4 [Sword of Solid Stone] in the hand, not only allows the holder to release [Release Petrification] three times a day, but also has a certain chance to permanently petrify the target when hit.

Mural can understand any language you speak and obey every command you give until he is killed or unsummoned]

[To use this card, you need to pay ten points of white mana, two points of black mana and thirteen points of blue mana, or twenty-five points of general mana]

[When Mural is killed, the card will automatically enter the graveyard to wait for rebirth, the time is fifteen days]

Good guy!

He's still a legendary character!

Looking at more than half of the mana in an instant, and the detailed description of this card, the expression on Zuo Si's face became very exciting.

He never expected that this half-human, half-scorpion crazy mage apprentice was really a wonderful work of "both magic and martial arts".

And the two professional levels are still so close!

According to the traditional concept of Faerun Continent, if the total level of all occupations of a creature reaches or exceeds twenty-one, it is equivalent to crossing the threshold of legend.

Although most high-level professionals will more or less choose some part-time jobs to increase their ability to deal with various dangers and complicated situations.

But generally speaking, they are basically fighters and part-time fighters. Spellcasters choose spellcasting professions, and they will never cross borders easily.

In that case, not only will a lot of time and energy be wasted, but it will also lead to conflicts between two completely different concepts in terms of combat methods and tactical arrangements.

The most important thing is that the effect of cross-border part-time jobs is often not as good as those who focus on improving a profession.

Among them, the Master is the most typical example.

At the same overall level, when a mage crossed the legendary threshold and began to study more powerful legendary magic, a part-time mage of the same level could only master six-ring magic, which was completely worth the candle.

However, considering that Mural was originally a warrior hired by Helast Black Robe, he was a half-way monk to learn magic.

Moreover, after staying in the Lost City of Earth Leys for almost a thousand years, it is quite reasonable to be able to raise the mage level to LV17.

It's a pity that he committed the same original sin as the Necromancer Ashtar, which is arrogance.

Especially in a situation like Leyline Lost City, which has completely blocked prophecy magic, and can't get any information about the opponent before the battle, you should be more cautious before starting the battle.

But this guy is fine, with a little stimulation of words, he fell from such a good position above the ceiling.

Otherwise, hiding on the top and buffing more high-level protection magic, Zuo Si really has no good way to take him in a short time.

After making Mural into a card, Zuo Si immediately gave orders to Lava Elemental to help Dragonborn Knight solve a living statue.

Immediately after the destructive wall, he helped his teammates solve another living statue.

At the end of the battle, the dwarf, who was repeatedly hit by the activated statue and felt that his whole body was going to fall apart, sat down on the ground and cursed out of breath: "Shit! Whether it's Helast Black Robe or his apprentice, as expected They are all lunatics. That guy attacked us without a reason!"

"No, Mural has a very good reason. He regards the tenth floor of Leyline Lost City as his territory, and the mad mage is the master he is loyal to. From the moment he entered this floor, he regarded us as the same as the dark For an intruder like an elf, launching an attack is a matter of course." Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and explained.

According to the notes of a certain archmage seen in Candlekeep, anyone who is near the node of the magic net will be magnified in their inner and subconscious desires.

The performance of Helast Black Robe himself is to frantically collect all kinds of monsters, build one portal after another, and let the Leyline Lost City expand without limit.

Those adventurers who repeatedly entered the Leyline Lost City for a long time showed their persistence in adventure itself and wealth.

In contrast, Mural regards the tenth floor as his own territory and does not allow anyone to approach it. It should be the same situation.

"territory?"

The halfling thief Cora's eyes widened in disbelief.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, the territory.

Don't forget, before the emergence of Waterdeep City, Helast Black Robe was the first to discover it, and built a castle and a huge underground labyrinth with his own hands.

Therefore, according to the principle of first-served first-served land, the mad mage is the real lord of this land.

I think it is precisely because of this that the nobles and rulers of Waterdeep City have always kept their attitudes towards him very secretive. "

"My God! What you said makes sense! No wonder the monsters that came out of Leyline Lost City caused several tragedies, but Waterdeep City didn't mean to pursue it at all. It turns out that the mad mage is the real master of Waterdeep City, and Waterdeep City The city itself is more like occupying this land illegally." The poet exclaimed, rubbing his face vigorously.

"Moradin! This is the scariest thing I have ever heard in my life. If Helast Heipao files a complaint with the Temple of Justice in accordance with legal procedures, then it is entirely possible for him to drive everyone out of Waterdeep and its surrounding areas. Drive them out of the land." The dwarf said the worst result with a serious face.

Since the Church of Tyr, the God of Justice, has the functions of legislation, law enforcement, and trial, they are basically in charge of the laws of Waterdeep City.

And the most typical feature of these people is that they are unselfish.

So if such a situation really happens, it is entirely possible for them to make a judgment in favor of the "mad mage".

"I don't think this possibility is very likely. After all, Helast Heipao only really takes a fancy to this lost city of leylines, and has no interest in cities above the surface. Otherwise, the city he just established in Waterdeep City All the settlers will be expelled in time. Not to mention, he is so crazy now."

The halfling Cora also expressed her opinion.

The poet immediately retorted: "No! You don't understand! This is not a question of possibility, but that Waterdeep City itself is built on the basis of illegal occupation of other people's land. This also means that all official documents issued by Waterdeep City The title deeds are also equivalent to a piece of waste paper.”

The dwarf spread his hands indifferently: "So what? Anyway, I don't plan to buy a house in Waterdeep City to settle down. When I earn enough money, I will go back to the dwarf's mine to enjoy fine wine and food, and live comfortably. For the rest of my life."

"I think the lords of Waterdeep City must have reached an ulterior secret agreement with the mad mage long ago."

"Well—it's possible."

Just as the few people were talking, a group of black shadows quickly surrounded the entire hall.

Because the footsteps were so light and silent, most people in the team didn't notice it.

Only Zuo Si, who was reminded by the Shadow Legion, secretly watched these dark elves who appeared out of the corner of his eyes quietly.

It's different from those small patrols in groups of four or five before.

There are about 20 of them together, and they are also matched with a large number of priests and mages.

If there is no accident, it should be Mural who mentioned the dark elf family that invaded this layer - Evander.

After all, Leyline Lost City is directly connected to the Underdark Region.

When Helast Black Robe first occupied this place, he severely damaged the dark elves and gray dwarves who tried to occupy this area.

As an extremely arrogant, proud, evil and cruel race, how could the dark elves bear this tone.

For so many years, they have been trying to get revenge.

Of course, it's not a good idea to confront a powerful and demented legendary mage head-on.

Therefore, some families began to actively infiltrate into the Lost Leyline City, wanting to seize the Skull Harbor on the third floor and completely open up the connection with the Landmark World.

Unfortunately, these plans failed under the obstruction of Mural.

Just looking at the surrounding dark elf-style decorations and buildings, you can tell that they once established a stable stronghold here.

Therefore, the strange situation on the tenth floor is probably the result of hundreds of years of repeated competition between Mural and several dark elf families.

What a bunch of idle, pained guys...

Zuo Si complained in his heart.

He couldn't imagine why he wasted so much time on such meaningless fights.

After more than 20 dark elves were in ambush, the leading woman immediately made a series of very cryptic sign language.

After seeing this scene, the male with the strong crossbow immediately poisoned the crossbow with extremely skilled movements, and then raised it to aim at their respective targets and then pulled the trigger.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Accompanied by the sound of piercing the air, ten poisoned arrows with enchantment level +3 flew straight towards the five people in the hall.

On average, each person got two teams.

Unfortunately, when these arrows were about to hit their targets, they were all blocked by an invisible wall.

It is still [Wall of Force].

When dealing with purely physical attacks, this five-ring arcane magic will always exist like a god.

"Mage!"

The leading woman immediately shouted in the unique language of the dark elves.

The man next to him in a robe immediately began to chant spells, intending to release the six-ring [Dissociation Technique] to destroy the wall of force.

But before he finished the spell, he found that the magic power he had managed to condense had suddenly and inexplicably decreased a lot.

In the end, the shaping of the spell structure could not be completed, and it failed without accident.

"This...how is this possible!" The male drow mage had a shocked expression on his face.

Because he has lived for more than two hundred years, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.

"What's going on? What are you dawdling about?" The leading woman brandished a snake whip and asked sharply.

Since the status of women in Dark Elf society is much higher than that of men, priestesses have unquestionable supreme leadership, and can even execute those men who annoy her at will.

The mage hurriedly explained: "No! It's not that I'm dawdling! It's just that some kind of force interferes with the casting!"

"Shut up! Lowly man! I'll give you another chance! If you still fail, then wait to be sent to be fed to spiders." The leading female threatened viciously.

The mage didn't dare to talk back, and immediately began to try to cast the second [Dissociation Technique].

But it was the same as the result just now, the energy was less than half before casting the spell.

Just as he was trying to explain, he suddenly found that he couldn't make any sound.

In fact, not only him, but also the leading woman and other people around could not make even the slightest sound.

Apparently, Zuo Si used [Silence Technique] and some stones made with Silence Technique to silence everything except the entire hall around him.

In desperation, the dark elves could only communicate with sign language.

Fortunately, their sign language has already developed a complex and complete system, which can even completely replace speech.

The only problem is...

Already under the double protection of Davidian and the dwarf defenders, Zuo Si began to chant spells in a low voice.

In just a few seconds, a large magical darkness that even dark vision could not see through enveloped the entire area.

Three-ring divine art - [deep darkness art].

The characteristics of this spell are the same as it is now, directly turning the radius close to 20 meters completely without a single bit of light.

In this way, even the drow who are used to living in the dark will inevitably become blind.

Coupled with the previous silence technique, it is basically equivalent to depriving the other party of all possibilities of communication at the same time.

For most creatures, this amounts to cutting off their sense of their surroundings completely.

And without seeing and hearing, no one knows exactly what's going on in the dark.

After waiting for a few minutes, Zuo Si used the [Daylight], which is also a three-ring magic spell, to dispel the magic darkness. Everyone suddenly found that the dark elves fell to the ground without exception, dead, without a single wound on their bodies.

Out of curiosity, the halfling thief Cora immediately ran to a corpse to examine it carefully, and said without looking back, "This guy died of respiratory failure."

"Respiratory failure?"

An incomprehensible expression appeared on the poet's face.

"That's right, respiratory failure. Although it sounds unbelievable, they all suffocated themselves to death because they hadn't breathed for a long time. All dark elves are the same."

Cora categorically gave her own judgment.

"Soth, what did you do to them?" the poet asked in an uncertain tone.

Zuo Si replied with a smile: "It's very simple. I used a certain method to make them have no strength to breathe, and naturally they all suffocated to death."

Obviously, the real situation is that the Shadow Legion was ordered to attack while the enemy lost their sense of the surroundings, and easily killed all the dark elves.

Because he figured out that the drows who are used to acting in the dark must never carry magic items and props like [Daylight] that can create strong light.

And because they can't hear or see, they don't know what's going on with other people around them.

By the time countless shadows touched him, it was already too late.

The mages didn't even have time to bless themselves with protection from magic, and the priests also didn't bless themselves with protection from evil.

"Hey—it's really enviable to be able to master the power of divine and arcane arts at the same time." The poet couldn't help sighing.

Although he is also an arcane spellcaster himself, the list of spells is far less comprehensive than that of a mage.

Especially the inability to learn the astonishingly powerful evocation and necromancy magics, resulting in a serious lack of attack methods.

"There is no need to be envious. Since you can become a bard, you must also be able to become a mage through learning. What's more, there are many academies specializing in magic in Waterdeep City. You can definitely try it." Zuo Si encouraged with a smile on his face. road.

"Do you think I have the talent to become a mage?" The poet's eyes shone slightly.

After thinking for a while, Zuo Si replied: "At least learning the magic of the third ring will definitely not be a problem. At that time, whether it is fireball or lightning, it will be able to make up for your lack of spell lethality."

"Understood! Thank you for your suggestion. When I return from this adventure, I will find a magic academy to sign up for." There was a trace of gratitude in the poet's tone.

While the two were talking, the dwarf Ruger and Cora had pulled out all the equipment on the dark elves.

The former threw two spell books over and said with a grin, "Sous! Look at how many spells are recorded on this thing. I heard that the spell books of mages are very valuable."

"Don't worry. Deciphering and identifying spell books is delicate work. Let's find a relatively safe place first."

With an agility of up to 18 points, Zuo Si caught the two books very easily, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

He had heard that the dark elf mages in the Underdark had created some very unique magic.
