Artificer Adventure Guide

Chapter 5 The CPU is burnt

"Wait! I know Featherfall! Give me some time to adjust the spell."

Seeing that Hope jumped down without saying a word, Karl quickly explained his use.

This was exactly what he was thinking about when he was picking up those classic and fashionable little garbage in the cleaning room. Those things were all materials for casting spells.

Holding the wrench as a magical weapon, Karl sat on the ground, concentrated on his meditation, and began to meditate.

Vaguely, Karl felt that the spirituality of his soul had reached a certain requirement. He knew that he could be promoted to level 2 artificer.

Without hesitation, he directly mobilized his spirituality and headed towards the spiritual core that carried his profession as an artificer.

Without any obstacles, as a sense of satisfaction emerged from the depths of his soul, Karl became a level 2 artificer.

It took another two minutes for Karl to replace the two first-level spells he had prepared with Featherfall and Stride.

These two spells are used for escape, which can greatly increase the possibility of Carl and Hope escaping.

Opening his eyes again, Karl stood up, took out a ball of fluff from his pocket, and said to Hope below: "I shout one, two, three, let's jump down together."

"one two three!"

Following the command, the two of them took off almost at the same time. Karl made a few gestures with his fingers extremely quickly. The fluff in his hands turned into fly ash, and his and Hope's falling bodies suddenly became lighter.

The two of them "falled" slowly like pieces of paper. Hope seemed to have experienced such an experience for the first time, and he actually did two somersaults in mid-air.

Soon, the two landed smoothly on the rocks at the bottom of the tunnel.

The tunnel on the last floor looks extremely dark, making people wonder if it is connected to some underground city.

In order not to smear forward, Karl performed a magic trick, and then tapped the rivets on his armor with his finger.

The rivet suddenly emitted light, illuminating an area about 10 feet ahead.

"Magic is really convenient!"

Witnessing this magical effect again, Hope whispered enviously to himself.

"Have you never teamed up with a spellcaster before?"

The overall civilization of Eberron is close to the level of Karl's previous life around the 19th century. Magic and magic props here are very common, and ordinary people can afford them if they save money for a while.

So after seeing Hope's reaction, Karl always felt that the other party's performance was a bit exaggerated.

"Droam is very chaotic. Powerful guys either go out to become mercenaries or enslave ordinary people in Drom. People with the ability to cast spells are all superior guys. How can I be qualified to form a team with them?"

Although this was said in a humble way, Hope's tone was full of mockery.

"That's okay. At least you escaped. If we escape, would you like to follow me back to my hometown? Our Eluden Wilderness is recognized as the most peaceful place in the Khorvaire continent."

"Are you from the Eluden Fields?"

When he heard about Carl's hometown, Hope's eyes seemed to sparkle with light.

This appearance made Karl subconsciously take half a step back. Only when he was sure that the other party would not pounce would he hesitate to ask:

"Is there something wrong with the Eluden Fields?"

"No problem!"

Grabbing Carl's hand, Hope completely lost the cold feeling before. Instead, she was as excited as a loyal reader of "Harry Potter" who was about to go to Hogwarts.

Cal's hometown, Eluden Fields, is an area governed by a druid society, and the most powerful druid in Khorvaire is the spiritual leader here.

The agriculture and animal husbandry here are extremely developed, providing high-quality and low-priced agricultural products to most parts of the continent.

After taking a few deep breaths, Hope put her hand on her chest to calm down her mood.

"My dream is to one day buy a piece of farmland in the Eluden Wilderness and live a peaceful and stable life there."

"If possible, I would also like to become a Druid apprentice!"

Hearing Hope's dream, Carl tapped her on the shoulder.

Tieflings are a race that is easily discriminated against in Eberron because their bloodline comes from the devil.

Long-term bullying by other races has led most tieflings to embark on the path of crime. Although Drom is chaotic, as long as a tiefling is strong and bad enough, he will be like a fish in water here.

And for those kind-hearted tieflings who are unwilling to join in the evil, the best place to go is the Eluden Fields.

Druids are extremely tolerant of all races, as long as you have no evil thoughts and are willing to get close to nature.

"First of all, let's talk about it. Life in the Eluden Wilderness may not be as beautiful as you think. Everyone has to work. Although the druids will guide people in farming and grazing, they do not allow you to expand the scope of your fields and grazing, because that It will destroy the balance of nature.”

Seeing Hope's fascinated look, Karl poured cold water on her appropriately.

People will always have certain illusions about things they don't understand.

"What are you talking about to a guy who not long ago was stuck in a mire, living with his head in his belt every day?"

Seeing that the other party looked apathetic, Karl couldn't say much.

Many people think that life in the Eluden Wilderness is pastoral, but once they experience it for themselves for a few days, they can't stand it.

"Okay, let's go ahead. If the two of us fold here, there will be no future."

With a sigh, Carl walked forward.

Hope followed him closely, asking questions such as "Why don't you become a druid?" "I heard that the maple syrup in Hongye Township is the best in the whole continent." "I heard that you use giant eagles to send letters?" and so on.

After chatting casually, the two finally walked to the deepest part of the tunnel.

"Is this... a ritual site?"

Standing at the end of the tunnel, Carl looked at the hemispherical cave excavated in front of him, and was a little unsure for a while.

There were thirteen stone pillars arranged in a circle in the cave, and they were engraved with words that they couldn't understand.

But apart from these, there was no hole leading to the outside world.

But the direction of the airflow was indeed here. Standing at the interface between the tunnel and the cave, the two could even feel the breeze on their faces.

"Could it be that he cast some spell from the school of illusion?"

"Impossible, that mind flayer only has psychic power. I witnessed the battle in which he started a rebellion in Graywall City. When he was about to die, he did not cast any spells."

"That's strange. It can't be these stone pillars..."

Carl reached out and touched the stone pillars. He was about to express his opinion, but when his fingers touched the words on the stone pillars, a stream of psychic power flowed into his body from the words on the stone pillars.

Carl's head suddenly hurt, and he fell down directly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Holding Carl, Hope anxiously asked about his condition.

But Carl's condition did not improve at all, but instead tended to get worse.

At this moment, deep in Carl's brain, the mind flayer larvae that had stopped moving not long after entering his body kept struggling.

After parasitizing Carl, it stopped working for a while because it could not read the massive amount of information from other worlds in Carl's previous life memory.

Originally, as long as it was given time to digest slowly, and when it grew a little more by absorbing Carl's nutrients, it would be able to read Carl's memory bit by bit and complete its transformation.

But the spiritual energy released by those strange words awakened the mind flayer larva from its dormant period.

At the same time as it awakened, Carl's memories of the other world in his previous life once again flooded the mind flayer larva like a flood.

Now, this mind flayer larva is like a mining card taken by a black-hearted businessman to mine, powerlessly bearing the infusion of a large amount of information from the other world.

What made it even worse was that the words on the stone pillar were the spiritual absorption text of the mind flayer race, which was also a "compressed package" containing compressed information.

It was already overwhelmed and stimulated by the spiritual energy carrying the spiritual absorption text information, just like an old laptop that was already running to its limit and was added with a decompression task.

So..., after the last round of intense spiritual energy release, the CPU of this mind flayer larva burned.
