this mage is dangerous

The story begins with a description of a powerful mage creating a powerful gem, which is the title of this chapter "The Shattered Crystal". It is similar to the Supreme Lord of the Rings in "The Lord of the Rings" and has self-awareness. And it is being made.

At that time, he was attracted by another powerful demon, Ertu. Ertu was waiting for the moment when the Shattered Magic Crystal was completed to seize it and fulfill his ambition. Unfortunately, an explosion occurred when it was about to be completed, and the Shattered Magic Crystal

The explosion disappeared without a trace.

The perspective returns to Icewind Dale. There is a mage apprentice Akal-Kaise (hereinafter called him Kaise) who was involved in a conspiracy between mages. He was used by his teacher's political opponents and killed his

Teacher, and was abandoned to the foot of a snowy mountain to wait for death. Like most stories, he discovered the broken magic crystal hidden under the snow when he was trying to survive. He used the power of the broken magic crystal to

A huge tower was built at the foot of the mountain, and people lived a comfortable life inside. The Shattered Demon Crystal had even greater ambitions. It wanted to use this insignificant mage to fulfill its own ambitions - conquest, power, and destruction.

The residents of Icewind Dale live in a place called "Ten Towns". As the name suggests, it is an alliance of ten towns. However, the problem is similar to that of most alliances. Once there is no external threat, they will fall apart.

Fortunately, they have an external threat at this time: the "savage swarm".

Because the Ten Towns own most of the products in Icewind Valley and the trade pipeline to the south, it is difficult for the barbarians to get enough food. They have been in a state of hostility with the Ten Towns for a long time. However, because the Ten Towns’ armed strength is very

Strong, and with the help of the local dwarf tribe, it would be very foolish to directly confront the Ten Towns.

Let’s pause here and analyze the situation and geographical location of both parties.

The ten towns are located in the south of Icewind Valley, where there are rivers and roads leading to the south. The rivers are rich in fishery resources. They rely on the trade channels established by the fishery resources with the south, and then exchange them from the south.

The materials that come over are traded internally. In other words, whoever controls more fishery resources can import more materials from the south, and then have a considerable advantage in the internal trade of the ten towns. So for the internal trade of the ten towns

Generally speaking, the competition for fishery resources is also a key factor in the estrangement between them. The halfling Regis is the representative of "Dulin Town" among the ten towns. He wanders among the representatives of the other nine towns, which contributes to this

times alliance.

Barbarians are a group of tribes wandering in the wilderness. They make a living by hunting, and fur and meat are not rare items for them. However, they cannot hunt enough food to fill their stomachs every day. This is different from what happened in history.

Nomads are similar.

For the residents of the Ten Towns, animal furs are extremely precious. Everyone hopes to wear more of them in the ice and snow. Most of the supplies imported from the south are also mainly used to resist the cold. It is barbaric.

People need stable food, and Shizhen needs furs. In fact, the two sides can trade without having to engage in such barbaric plunder.

Back to the story, if there had not been a traitor, the barbarians would not have thought this way. A young man who was born in Ten Towns but wanted to subvert something appeared among them, changing the internal situation of Ten Towns.

All the situation was reported to the barbarian tribe. Hence the attack.

Drizzt received a request from his friend Bruno, the leader of the dwarf tribe, and entered the barbarian tribe to investigate the situation. At the same time, he entrusted the halfling Regis to promote the reunification of the ten towns to resist this huge barbarian attack.

Everything went well. Drizzt brought back ten traitors from the barbarians to face the barbarian attack and thwarted the barbarian plan. During the battle, Bruno discovered a barbarian who was different from other barbarians who exuded fanatical bloodlust.

The barbarian boy Wulfgar Brudo did not kill him like the others, but took him to the dwarves' crypt and asked him to serve the dwarves here for five years to repay the sins of the barbarians.

The war was over and everything was peaceful again, or so it seemed. But the alliance that had held it together was falling apart again.

The commotion caused by this war was perceived by Kaise, who owned the broken magic crystal, and this was also the influence that the broken magic crystal exerted on him inadvertently. It did not want its owner to spend his life in peace. The ten people in front of him

Zhenzheng is the first target for him to start, and he wants Kaise to conquer them. Standing on the top of the giant tower, Kaise stared down and saw some humanoid races: goblins, ogres, and the fleeing

Barbarian tribe, he had a plan in mind, a grand plan. Of course, this was also produced under the influence of the broken magic crystal.

In the blink of an eye, five years are about to pass. Wulfgar, who was taken to the dwarf crypt, became more mature under the guidance of Bruno. The young man who originally wanted to kill Bruno one day felt infinite gratitude to the elder in his heart.

.He taught him how to forge weapons and gave him enough respect. Wulfgar saw the shadow of his long-lost father in this dwarf elder. After this winter, Wulfgar can leave

Here, he became a little reluctant to leave.

One day, Bruno took him outside and asked him to meet a man, the dark elf Drizzt. He was asked to learn combat skills from Drizzt. The old dwarf did not want the barbarian boy to die as soon as he left the crypt.

Outside, he needs more combat experience and skills. As a master tactician, the drow ranger Drizzt is very suitable for this role. At first Wulfgar didn't like Drizzt because of what the dark elves had done and because of his brutal nature.

For the gods they believe in, only close combat is honorable. During the training process, he was impressed by the master's fighting art, and gradually learned about the ranger's noble personality and various

Precious quality.

In just a few weeks, Wulfgar's progress has been rapid. The life of a dwarf has made him stronger, and the training of a drow ranger has allowed him to master skills.

After a training session, they discovered that the activity frequency of the surrounding subhuman races was abnormal. After investigation, they found that the demihumans in Icewind Valley were about to form an alliance army. No matter what they wanted to do, it would never be a good thing. Of course, it would not be a good thing.

The multi-ethnic alliance also includes barbarians from the Elk tribe, which is the barbarian tribe to which Wulfgar belongs.

Bruenor was not idle when he handed Wulfgar into Drizzt's hands. He forged a warhammer suitable for barbarians. After Wulfgar completed his training, he handed it over to him.

At this time, Wulfgar's deadline for serving the dwarves had passed, and he regained his freedom. Facing his master and adoptive father, he felt nothing but infinite gratitude to them. He wanted to stay and continue living in the dwarf tribe.

He also wants to continue to accept Drizzt's teachings. But there is a place he must go to, and this is the place he has decided long ago.

Watching the barbarian leave, Bruno made another request to Drizzt, and Drizzt nodded in agreement with his friend.

After Wulfgar left the dwarves, he went to a place that no one could ever come back to - the ice-dead lair of the dragon in Icewind Dale. He wanted to defeat the dragon so that he could return to it.

Stop him before the worst happens. Like the greedy dragons in all fantasy stories, Icedeath's lair also contains a lot of treasure. The dragon has no interest in spending money, but just likes to be covered in shiny things.

The feeling. The dragon Smaug in "The Hobbit" also has similar hobbies.

The combat power of a dragon that has just woken up cannot be compared with that of an active dragon, but the gap between races can never be bridged. When Wulfgar was about to become the dragon's breakfast, Drizzt appeared.

Drizzt used dark magic to shroud the dragon's vision in dark mist. Facing the sightless dragon, Wulfgar smashed the hammer given by his adoptive father into the dragon's head, hitting it several times in a row.

And under Drizzt's long-range attack, Icedeath fell to the ground. Its treasures became trophies for the two of them. Drizzt chose a dagger from them, and the rest belonged to Wulfgar.

After coming out of the dragon's lair, Drizzt believed that Wulfgar no longer needed his protection, and he had transformed into a warrior on his own. The two parted ways, and Drizzt continued to pursue the alien alliance. Wulfgar

Then continue north and return to your tribe.

When Wulfgar returned to his tribe, he directly challenged the current tribal leader, suing him for allying with aliens and insulting the noble traditions of the barbarians. And he took out the Horn of Ice Death as his qualification to challenge

The two had a duel, and Wulfgar won the final victory. He became the new leader of the Elk Tribe. Before the war began, he ensured the safety of his tribe's people. And with a huge

With all the wealth of Long, he had a better plan so that his people could survive after the war.

Drizzt continued to investigate in depth, and he fell in love with Kaiser's giant tower. What surprised him even more was that there was a demon he was familiar with on top of the giant tower-Ertu. In the dark dungeon, the dark elves attacked him more than once

Having used the power of this demon to achieve their goals, they have a good cooperative relationship. As a traitor to the dark elves, Drizzt is also familiar with the method of summoning demons. He drew a magic circle for summoning demons and summoned this demon.

Came over.

During the conversation with the demon, he used the good cooperative relationship between his tribe and the demon to find out about the broken magic crystal. When the conversation was about to end, Ertu saw the pendant of the Forest Goddess hanging around Drizzt's neck.

This is a traitor to the dark elves. Demons are not afraid of any dark elves, but are in awe of the gods behind the dark elves. This drow traitor actually played with himself to obtain information, which is an unforgivable crime.

After a struggle, any attack from the drow ranger could not cause substantial damage to the demon, but instead angered it even more. When the demon's claws were about to pierce Drizzt's body, it made a sudden movement.

Stopped. Drizzt's dagger stabbed into the demon's body. The attack that was originally unlikely to have any effect suddenly had an effect. The demon's power quickly drained away. Drizzt quickly let go of the dagger to stop himself.

Loss of strength.

It was a trophy obtained from the giant dragon Ice Death. It was a dagger that could absorb life energy. The devil belonged to a different dimension. It came to the mortal world relying on the energy of the summoner or contractor. At this moment, all the energy forming the body was

Absorbed by the dagger, he was exiled back to his original world plane.

Drizzt, who survived, looked at the energy tower. He imagined the tragic consequences that those alien alliances would cause. There was only one chance to stop it all and defeat the mage Kaiser. After a short rest, the drow ranger walked towards Kaiser's tower.

go.

At the same time, Kaise's army was stationed not far from Ten Towns. He built a huge tower in front of Ten Towns to show his powerful power. He also projected himself to announce that Ten Towns were about to face them.

fate, as long as you surrender, you can survive. A waiting time is also given, and you will attack immediately when the time is up, unless you hear the news of surrender before the time is up.

Giris was sent by the Ten Towns to negotiate, and everyone thought that he had extremely strong negotiating skills. He could convince the representatives of the Ten Towns one by one, and it should be more than enough to convince a mage. The more reason is that he

If time is delayed, the alien coalition forces will not be in harmony, and internal fights may occur at any time. As long as the signal to attack is not given, this uneasy factor may destroy their fragile alliance.

Unfortunately, Giris failed to accomplish his mission. The alien army began their attack. The halflings were imprisoned on the top floor of the tower.

Drizzt entered the mage tower, summoned his partner, the black panther Guenhwyvar, and rushed all the way to the top. Facing Kaise, who was protected by the light of the broken magic crystal, he once again fell into a hard fight. Xiaoxiao

The energy erupted from the broken magic crystal weakened most of the drow ranger's attacks. Kaise did not dare to approach the dark elf hastily, but only played a long-range cat and mouse game with great interest.

As long as there is no light from the broken magic crystal, Kaise is just an ordinary mage. However, the light energy of the broken magic crystal only accepts Kaise, and anyone else who approaches rashly will be burned. The drow ranger took out a leather package from behind and blocked it.

In front of him, he quickly approached the broken magic crystal and wrapped it up.

The light disappeared, and the source of Mage Kaise's power also disappeared. Silence returned to the surroundings. The giant tower began to shake and was about to collapse. Drizzt opened Giris' cell and instructed Guenhwyvar to take it out and pursue it himself.

Kaise is about to run away.

The giant tower lost its energy source and collapsed in the blink of an eye. The giant towers in front of the Ten Towns also suffered chain collapses due to the collapse of the giant tower where Kaise was located.

The alien coalition forces that were fighting against the Ten Towns saw their master's giant tower collapse, and the idea of ​​fighting the enemy bravely disappeared. Everyone began to plan when to retreat, or to kill the alien that was the least pleasing to the eye. Wo

The barbarians from the Elk tribe led by Fujia came to support and began to massacre the alien army.

Drizzt emerged from the snow. He jumped out of the giant tower at the moment of collapse and hid under the thick snow. At the same time, Kaise emerged as well, and he took out another one from his pocket.

A broken magic crystal, that is the main body of the broken magic crystal. The previous ones were just clones of the broken magic crystal. They had close power, but they were disposable items. I originally thought that another fierce battle was about to begin. The long ears of the drow ranger

Hearing the roar coming from above, only the elf's keen hearing could detect it. He quickly turned back and ran away, trying his best to understand the place.

Seeing the back of the drow ranger, Kaise laughed loudly. His own power actually caused the dark elves to flee in panic. The joy did not last for a few seconds, as a huge roar came from above. Due to the collapse of the giant tower just now,

The vibrations on the ground affected the snow in the surrounding mountains. The white snow instantly buried the mage Kaise and the broken magic crystal, without even giving him a chance to call for help.

Also escaping was the halfling Giris, who was taken to another plane by Guenhwyvar and escaped. At this time, he was roasting food from nowhere on the other side of the ruins, waiting for Drizzt to find him.

.

The battle in the Ten Towns was over, with heavy casualties, but it was won to the end. The barbarians of the Elk Tribe concluded a trade agreement with the Ten Towns, exchanging furs and meat products for supplies, as well as gold, silver, and jewelry.

"Gold, silver and jewels cannot help us survive. You can use these to give us what we want."

Everything seemed to be over, and Drizzt came into the crowd. He was very careful to miss the people coming and going. He was used to it. But he couldn't find his friend Bruno until a dwarf called him.

He conveyed the news that Bruno wanted to see him one last time.

The drow ranger quickly came to his friend's side. The old man was already dying. He was very happy to see Drizzt at the end of his life, and regretted that he did not take risks when he could act to find what his father had left behind.

The treasure. Drizzt did not want to lose this old friend. He kept encouraging his friend and asked him to live. He said that he would definitely accompany him on this adventure.

The dwarf suddenly jumped up. He was completely fine, he just wanted Drizzt to agree to this matter. Everyone around him who had originally looked sad couldn't hold back his laughter.

Faced with this promise, Drizzt did not feel cheated. If this joke could keep his friend alive, then what's the harm in doing it once in a while?
