Lord of Spells from Faerûn

After Imrik and Drizzt reached an agreement, the halfling Regis walked briskly into the tavern door. The first time he saw Drizzt, he rushed over excitedly and danced and said:

"I did it! Drizzt! I did it! Kemp agreed. Although with the help of the power of this treasure, the Ten Towns United Army was established!"

Drizzt's face hidden under the scarf also let out a long sigh of relief, his eyes curled up, and he said with a smile: "Great, I knew you could do it, Regis. You can always convince your opponents, No matter how hard it is.”

Regis noticed Imric looking at them at this time, and asked curiously: "Who is this? Do you know Drizzt?"

Drizzt told Regis what he had just said. When he learned that a mage was going to join their army to stop the barbarians, the halfling jumped up happily.

"Now, let's set off to the Great Cone of Kane. Bruno is still waiting for us there. There, we have to complete our own mission and monitor the whereabouts of the barbarian army."

"Bruno?" Imrik asked from the side.

Drizzt seemed to have thought of something funny and said happily: "He is a very old-fashioned dwarf with a bad temper and is one of our companions."

After hearing this description, Imric probably knew in his mind that this was a dwarf whose personality was completely different from Zach's.

Imric stood halfway up the mountain north of the Great Cone of Cairn, his cloak wrapped tightly in the cold wind that howled through the rocks. Drizzt and Regis were sitting on the ground, arguing with a dwarf with a red beard and a battle axe.

"No! I will never trust the joining of a strange surface mage!" the dwarf Bruno shouted angrily, and the red beard around his mouth was blown away because of his too intense tone.

Drizzt looked back at Imrik who was as if nothing had happened with an embarrassed look, and explained firmly: "Bruno, I know you don't trust the magic of surface people, but please believe me and trust your friend's vision, Imric." Rick is definitely a mage with noble and good intentions."

Regis also advised from the side: "Yes, Bruno, you should get rid of your old-fashioned temper. Look at this damn weather, it can freeze a person's head as hard as a tree. He's so passionate." Help so you can stop being picky.”

After saying that, he tightly wrapped his clothes tightly. In his opinion, unless there was something wrong with the mage's brain, he would not have any bad intentions to come here with them to suffer this crime!

Bruno's aura was relieved after hearing this. He also knew that he was in the wrong. Yes, he had something worthy of being deceived by others, but he just couldn't help it. He couldn't help but suspect that these cunning surface people would use magic that he didn't understand. Come and cause trouble!

Imrik, who had been silent on the side, finally smiled. This was the first time he had seen this dwarf's childish mentality. Most dwarves are often exposed to magic and are a race that forges magic weapons. Why is this dwarf so so? Double standards, so defensive against the magic of surface people.

【Leomond's hut】

The mage recited an unknown spell, which once again aroused the stubborn dwarf's guard, but as the mysterious spell ended, what appeared in place was only a dimensional portal as tall as a person.

Imric walked in first, stuck his head out from the dimensional entrance and said to everyone: "Come in, it's so cold outside."

Regis's eyes lit up. He had once followed a mage master for a long time and had seen this kind of magical magic. Inside was an extremely warm cabin. As long as he entered it, he no longer had to endure the extremely cold wind.

Drizzt also recognized this magic and entered the hut with Regis. Only Bruno was still looking at the entrance of the cave in anger, motionless.

Imric chuckled and said, "Come in, Bruno."

Drizzt also shouted loudly from inside: "Come in! Bruno! It's really warm inside. I swear if you don't come in, I will cut off your favorite beard while you are asleep!"

Bruno blew his beard and stared angrily. The beard was his favorite treasure, and he dared to threaten him with it. He hesitated for a while, and finally walked into [Leomon's cabin]. The different dimension created by this spell was felt as soon as he entered. Feel the warmth that is different from the biting cold wind outside.

In order to keep an eye on the situation under the mountain, Drizzt asked Imric not to close all the dimensional entrances. Therefore, even though it was so warm in the cabin, the biting cold wind still poured in from the dimensional entrance like ice water.

Imrik took out some dry branches and made a fire to light it.

Regis sat by the fire, flexing his furry little hands, and said tremblingly: "How many more nights do we have to wait? I'm sure one morning, maybe tomorrow, they will find us freezing to death. This damn mountain!”

"Have no fear, little one," Drizzt replied with a smile. "These winds tell us it is winter. The savages will come soon, determined to defeat the first snow."

While speaking, the dark elf caught a glimpse of fire in the distance at the entrance of the cave. He suddenly stood up from his crouched position, startling the halfling, and then stretched his head to carefully observe the direction of the fire. He tensed his muscles in a reflex of alertness, his eyes straining for any definite sign.

"What..." Regis began, but Drizzt silenced him with an outstretched palm. A second fire flashed on the edge of the horizon.

"Your wish is granted," Drizzt said with certainty.

"Are they there?" Regis whispered. There's no way his night vision could match that of a dark elf.

Drizzt stood silently and intently for a long moment, trying to estimate the distance to the campfire and calculate the time it would take the barbarian to reach his destination.

"Go find Cassios, kid," he said at last. "Tell them the enemy will be at Breemen Pass tomorrow at midday."

"Come with me," Regis said. "If you bring such urgent military information, they will definitely not chase you away."

"I have something more important to do now," Drizzt replied. "Go now! I will wait for you at Bremen Pass at the first light tomorrow." At the same time, the dark elf got out of [Leomon's hut] and ran into the darkness. He had A long way to go.

The dwarves and Imrik understood on the sidelines that Drizzt would probably use the advantage of the dark elves to sneak into the enemy army to spy on the military situation. Only Drizzt, a dark elf and part-time ranger in the team, could handle this kind of thing.

Imric got out of the cave and stood on the edge of the cliff. [Dark Vision] brought him powerful night vision. He saw the direction the dark elves were going. There were thousands of meters of torches there, and the Under the shadow of the huge barbarian army, the thin figure of the lonely dark elf looked so tall and straight in the dark cold wind, moving forward indomitably.

"Take care, my friend." The dwarf's deep voice sounded behind Drizzt.

"Where are you going?" Regis shouted after him.

"Go to the other side of the horizon!" Such a call came from the dark night.

Then there was only the whisper of the cold wind.
