Lord of Spells from Faerûn

The flame arrow accurately hit the Green Hag, and the flames exploded, but the Green Hag's figure disappeared in the flames like a dreamy bubble.

"Be careful! It's an illusion!" Kelanwo shouted, and then looked around cautiously.

"Corrosive smoke!" An inexplicable spell sounded around him, and the sound seemed to come from all directions, making Cyric unable to distinguish where the sound came from, let alone shoot an arrow.

A faint black mist spread around the two of them, and Kelanvor's shiny silver heavy armor made a "sizzling" sound after contact. They quickly retreated back, trying to avoid this ominous-looking fog.

[Corrosive Smoke] is a three-ring energy evocation spell. If Kellanvor and the two do not evacuate quickly, the mist with acidic liquid will burn their eyes, make them blind, and cause intense burning pain. .

Cyric was the fastest. He evacuated the black mist quickly. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a cold feeling behind him. He turned around suddenly and saw the green hag's hateful face pressed tightly against his. The dark green pupils emitted a frightening light.

"Suggestion!"

The green hag opened her smelly mouth and recited a few short spells, her eyes shining brightly.

The Green Hag's powerful caster level brought a matching strong will power, and Cyric was instantly confused by her mind.

"Attack that human and drag him into the black mist!" the green hag ordered in a hoarse voice.

Cyric immediately turned his head and rushed towards Kelanvor, who had just rushed out of the black mist. Kelanvor saw Cyric's dull eyes and judged that he was under control based on his rich combat experience. He quickly raised the gun in his hand. The long sword is ready to bleed the opponent.

[Suggestion] has a probability of being lifted after suffering severe stimulation. If Cyric's body is harmed, the Green Hag's control is likely to break.

But how could the cunning green hag get what he wanted? She stretched out her fingers, with black mud in her long nails, and the gloomy spell sounded again.

"Powerful - Weak Energy Technique!"

The green hag rose to two levels, and the super demon cast a powerful undead curse. A green ray shot out from her fingernails and hit Kelanvor's strong body.

In an instant, the feeling of weakness as his power was being drawn out crazily spread throughout Kelanvor's body. He gritted his teeth and tried to resist the curse, but the green hag's magic was too powerful, and the power was still disappearing unstoppably.

Kelemvor finally gathered a little strength, and he quickly transformed into a black panther again, holding the silver mirror in his mouth to avoid Cyric's attack. He threw the silver mirror to the ground and loudly chanted the lost ancient spell.

The green hag looked at Kelanvor warily. Even with her advanced magic, she could not distinguish the spell Kelanvor recited, but soon, she knew what the effect of this spell was.

The silver mirror that was thrown to the ground floated into the air as if it had been activated by something. The metal around the silver mirror now flowed like liquid, emitting a gentle silver light.

The mirror in the center of the silver mirror now turned into a vortex-like image. The vortex continued to rotate rapidly, and a young man's voice came from the silver mirror.

"Hmm, interesting. A green hag, no wonder she called me."

The green hag screamed in a hoarse voice: "Who are you! Why do you want to interfere in Granny Bamenna's affairs!"

The vortex in the center of the silver mirror rotated faster and faster, but there was no voice from the owner behind it to answer the green hag's question.

Fourth-ring spell [extremely effective and powerful - fear spell]!

Instantly, a great fear emerged in the green hag's heart. She tried to take a deep breath and use her will to suppress the fear, but it had no effect. The caster behind the silver mirror was too high-level, and she could not exempt herself from this spell. .

The moment she realized this, the green hag fell into hysterical fear. She forgot about spells and escape. She just squatted on the ground and hugged her knees and began to tremble. She felt as if she was in the deep seabed. , was stared at by an extremely terrifying behemoth.

A black-robed mage walked out of the silver mirror at this time. It was Imric. With a finger, he lifted the spells on Cyric and Kelanvor. Then, he hooked the hook again. Fingers and invisible telekinesis untied the material package from Cyric's waist and sent it to Imric.

"There are only two, that's not enough." Imrik looked at the material package, frowned and said.

Imric turned to the green hag squatting on the ground, and the broken magic crystal in his mind began to emit its [Domination] power.

The green hag, whose mind was shattered by fear, soon fell under the charming charm of the broken magic crystal and became a slave under its control. However, because the Green Hag is an extremely powerful spellcaster, the [Domination] of the Magic Crystal will be subject to a new Will save by the Green Hag every day. Once the saving throw is successful, you can get rid of the control of the Magic Crystal.

"A green hag with a level 12 mage? Interesting, tell me, where are all the rare beasts in this forest?" Imrik asked straight to the point.

"Captured by the Shadow Druid, controlled by the Shadow Druid, Bamenna's pets are also targets." The Green Hag answered vaguely, her IQ lowered to the extreme after being dominated by the power.

Imrik frowned, Shadow Druid? He has never heard of the name of this organization, why do they want to control all magical beasts? What do they want to do?

"In the age of beasts, the goal of the Shadow Druid, to liberate the age of beasts, kill humans, kill elves, kill dwarves, kill everything, kill, kill, kill." The green hag said crazily.

These remarks aroused Imrik's curiosity. Most druids are from elves. No matter what religious ideas these shadow druids have, they even want to kill elves. It's really curious. .

Imrik pondered for a while, and then cast a legendary spell [Slavery] through the broken magic crystal, completely controlling the green hag.

Then, he released the power of [Fear Spell] and [Domination], and ordered the Green Hag: "Next, just obey the orders of the two of them."

Imric turned back to Kelanvor and said: "You also heard what the Green Hag said. Now I have a new mission and a more generous reward. Are you interested?"

Kellanvor and Cyric looked at each other and nodded. They had already understood the generosity of this mysterious mage, and the more generous rewards were really exciting.

Imric smiled and took out a storage glove, threw it to the two of them and said, "This is your reward for completing the mission, 11,000 gold coins. In addition, I need you to sneak into the depths of the forest and find out what's going on." The purpose of the group of shadow druids, and the place where they keep rare beasts in captivity, the green hag will assist you, she is a 12th level mage."

"As for the reward, I can give each of you two pieces of magic equipment worth more than 30,000 gold coins." Imrik said with a smile. He was not willing to spend so many gold coins to reward these two people. Magic equipment is better. a little. The cost of four pieces of magic equipment to him is only a few thousand gold coins, and it can still make the other party be dazzled by the overwhelming wealth.

Sure enough, Imrik's words made their hearts beat fast. The reward for a task could actually reach 60,000 gold coins per person. The world of mages is indeed not something ordinary people can understand. It seems that these precious gold coins are of no use to them. It is common to say that it is nothing more than splashed water.

Cyric was the first to speak out. He said with a serious face: "Promise to complete your mission, respected Mr. Mage."

Kelanwo also agreed, but he also had a question: "You seem to be capable enough to investigate, why do you still spend huge sums of money to hire us?"

Imrik smiled and said: "I am very busy. I can do the final things. I naturally don't want to do trivial matters such as investigations. As for money, anything that can be spent is not a big deal to me. , as long as your performance satisfies me."

Imric raised his hand, ready to snap his fingers and teleport away, but before leaving, he seemed to have remembered something and said: "Take the silver mirror, I have a hunch that the so-called shadow druids are not simple. If When you encounter an enemy that even the hag cannot resist, just call my name through the silver mirror, just like this time."

Then, the black-robed mage disappeared in a burst of blue light, leaving Kelanvor and Cyric looking at each other.

——

Waterdeep, harbor district at night.

Imrik, who was wearing a black robe, was walking on the street. It was already late at night, and even in the port area, which was full of people and dragons, it was rare for people to visit.

The occasional gangsters who showed up became suspicious when they saw Imric who was alone, but soon noticed the mage robe that he was wearing and were glad that they didn't get the upper hand.

Imrik just hummed a tune and walked to a warehouse, looking at the building in front of him expressionlessly.

"Well, is this right here?" Imrik asked in his mind.

The voice of the broken magic crystal sounded and replied: "Yes, master, this is what Argus said is the largest gathering point of the Zhentarim on the ground in the port area."

Imrik nodded indifferently. Since it is the largest, it must not be the most secretive. Many of its members are most likely low-level employees of the Zhentarim. However, his original purpose is to establish his authority and make these cockroaches aware. To the end of opposing the Magic Crystal Tower.

[Long-lasting spell - Summon a group of monsters at level 5].

With the materials brought back, Imric quickly developed [Level 5 Summon Monsters]. The only pity was that the materials were all consumed, and the upgraded version from Level 6 to Level 9 has not yet taken off.

The black-robed mage casually pointed, and the dimensional power of the spell immediately tore apart the space at the warehouse door. As a huge blue portal appeared, countless fiery red lava magic bats flew out of the portal.

Their bodies are all burning with extremely high temperatures, and the saliva from their sharp fangs can corrode a deep pit on the ground.

A total of 625 lava magic bats flapped their wings and flew towards the skylight on the roof of the warehouse. The violent noise attracted the attention of a guard in the warehouse. He heard the sound of something crackling in the skylight. When he looked up, he saw that it was Dense bat-like monsters were beating on the windows, and the hot temperature almost melted the glass.

"Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!!"
