Lord of Spells from Faerûn

The Green Hag blessed all three of them with the Invisibility and Feather Falling Techniques, and turned on [Detection Magic] and [Evasion of Detection]. After preparations, everything was ready, and the three of them jumped in from the entrance of the cave.

There was endless darkness below the deep well. With the help of [Feather Fall Technique], the three of them floated for several minutes before finally landing on the dirt ground.

There were some fungi with a subtle light around the three of them, illuminating the surroundings. This was a narrow cave, with a hard wall behind them and only a deep and narrow passage in front of them.

"Let's go forward first, be careful." Kelanwo looked along the passage into the distance. Even though he was born with dark vision, he still couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly.

After hearing Kelanvor's words, Cyric volunteered to walk at the front. As the most agile thief, Cyric could explore the path for the three of them with the lightest steps.

The passage was not too long, and a few people came out not long after walking. Outside the passage was a huge cave, and the intricate forest of huge stalactites blocked the view ahead.

The three of them continued to go deeper into the stalactite forest, but there was no one around. Suddenly, Cyric made a gesture and stopped. He lay on the ground and touched the dark soil, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, then raised his ears. Listen carefully to the sounds around you.

"There's movement." Cyric whispered.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the sound of rapid footsteps to be heard in the distance, and the sound of heavy horse hooves even further away.

Kelanvor and Cyric looked at each other and tacitly hid behind a huge stalactite. The green hag hid her figure and floated in mid-air, waiting for the arrival of unexpected visitors.

The footsteps became clearer and clearer. A pale elf with bloodstains on his body staggered while running and looked back. Behind him were two strong tauren chasing him with giant axes.

"boom!"

A tauren jumped up suddenly, and the huge bounce force allowed him to quickly approach the elf. The giant ax in his hand struck down hard from top to bottom. Just at the critical moment, a giant sword suddenly appeared and blocked it firmly. The great ax of the tauren.

It's Kelemvor.

The elf panicked and looked back at the giant ax that almost split him in half. He rolled and ran to the side without caring about who was coming. Kelanwo groaned, and the veins in his hands burst out from the excessive force. Getting up, he suddenly pushed the tauren's giant ax away and kicked the opponent away.

Another tauren roared "Moo!", and the tiny human in front of it actually prevented it from completing its master's mission. The two tauren jumped up again and rushed towards Kelanvor.

Kelanvor, who was hiding behind the stalactites, shot a lightning arrow and accurately hit a minotaur. Thunder exploded instantly, and powerful electric currents instantly hit his body. The hit minotaur instantly became stiff and fell to the ground.

Cyric took out his dagger and quickly rushed forward while Kelanvor restrained the other tauren. He inserted the dagger in his hand into the heart of the paralyzed tauren. The sharp dagger cut open like butter. The powerful heart of the tauren's chest and internal heart spurted out a large amount of blood in an instant, spreading all over Cyric's body.

Seeing that his companion was dead, the other tauren roared angrily, a scarlet light flashed in his eyes, and the muscles all over his body instantly grew larger again. The huge force knocked Kelanvor's long sword away, and it hit the ground with great force. Split it in half.

"Gaseous form!"

There was a faint spell in the sky, and Kelanwo felt a burst of magic wrapped around him. He did not refuse, and the magic quickly turned his body into invisible gas.

The tauren's ax struck the air. It was angry, but also a little confused. It tried to swing the giant ax in its hand again, but the giant ax only passed through the gas-shaped human in front of it without causing any impact.

"Puch!"

At some point, Cyric approached the tauren like a ghost. The sharp dagger in his hand was inserted straight into the tauren's heart. The severe pain and weakness awakened the tauren. It turned around and waved the giant ax, but was struck by Cyric, who was well prepared, retreated to avoid it.

The blood was blocked by the dagger, but the tauren's violent exertion only aggravated the rupture of the heart. A large amount of blood seeped out from the wound. It did not dare to move any more. A sense of powerlessness enveloped him, and he fell into endless darkness. among.

After solving the two tauren, the elf hiding aside breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the two humans who rescued him with anxious eyes.

"Thank you for saving me." The elf said aloud, with gratitude in his eyes, but also a hint of vigilance.

Kelanvor smiled and nodded and said: "It's just a little effort, why are you here, Elf? The Underdark is not a beautiful garden."

The elf's eyes dimmed, and he said seriously: "Me? I'm just a homeless elf. This is a place where I want to use my remaining energy for others before I die."

Kelanwo raised his eyebrows, a little at a loss.

The elf smiled sadly and continued: "There is a terrible dark force here. I am here to investigate them. The masters of these tauren, they killed my family, and everyone in my village was killed by them." killed."

"I have lost everything, my friends, my love, my relatives. I just hope I can take revenge, but I know they are too powerful, so powerful that I can never fight against them."

The elf's dejected words moved Kelanvor's heart, and he thought of the shadow druids the green hag said about killing even elves.

So he asked: "You mean those shadow druids?"

The elf raised his head and asked in surprise: "Do you know them too? Yes, they are them, the Shadow Druids, the extreme executioners, the conspirators who plan to destroy modern civilization."

Then, his eyes became a little wary and a little hateful, and he asked tremblingly: "Are you their subordinate?"

Kelanvor shook his head and told the elf the reason and purpose of their coming here.

The elf breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and he said with some complexity: "The shadow druid's camp is extremely dangerous. Their camp is surrounded by a huge dark magic barrier. You cannot sneak in."

Cyric was a little disappointed after hearing this. Is he going to give up the generous bounty provided by Imrik?

Kelanvor frowned and asked the green hag: "Do you have a spell to hide our entry?"

The Green Hag shook her head. Each barrier magic was an extremely powerful spell that required multiple levels of advanced spellcasters to create. It was impossible to crack it with her twelve-level mage level.

Seeing that they seemed to want to enter the camp, the elf lowered his head and grasped a pendant hanging on his chest. The pattern of the pendant was an animal claw with sharp claws. He seemed to be hesitant, lowered his head and thought for a while, as if he had made some kind of decision, and said, "I can take you in."

His words attracted the attention of Kelemvor and Cyric. The elf continued in the confused eyes of Kelemvor and Cyric: "I stole the pendant of their sect from a shadow druid, named [ The holy symbol of the unknown evil god of Beast], with which you can easily sneak into the dark barrier of the Druid camp."

The elf took a deep breath, looked at them seriously and said: "I planned to sneak in by myself. If you want to go in, I can take you with me, but you must be mentally prepared and must not be discovered, otherwise we will not have any chance." Possibility of escape.”

He was already prepared to be rejected. How could two adventurers enter such a dangerous situation? But he was different. He had a mission and the expectation of 68 lives of the entire village.

"I agree."

Kelanwo's firm voice made the elf raise his head suddenly. He looked at the two people in front of him in surprise: "Why? If you are here for wealth, please remember that life is more important than wealth."

Kelanvor shook his head and said with a smile: "What about you? You can't even deal with two tauren, so why do you want to enter?"

The elf's eyes dimmed and he stuttered, "I have a reason why I have to go."

Kelanwo sighed, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Then I also have the freedom to help you. As you said, they are a group of lunatics who want to kill everyone and cause disaster, aren't they? I just try my best. It’s just my obligation.”

Kelanvor blinked his eyes mischievously, with a warm aura on his resolute face. The elf felt that his eyes seemed a little moist. He didn't know whether it was the blood seeping from the wound or the sweat left on his forehead.

Cyric looked at the red-eyed elf and scratched his head with some trouble. He actually wanted to go in, but mainly because he couldn't let go of the rich wealth. However, his teammate made him a little worried. As a person who has been raised by his parents since he was a child. Abandoned, abducted and sent to a foreign land to be trained as a thief, Cyric felt pity as the only emotion he didn't have.

"Okay, I agree." Cyric sighed and said, he could only take one step at a time, hoping that his teammates would not be overwhelmed by pity and do irrational things.

The elf looked at the green hag again. This senile-looking old lady was really not suitable for going to such a dangerous place. Although he had also seen the other party's spellcasting just now, the wrinkled skin on the green hag's human form still made him a little confused. Worry.

"Oh, she's fine. She's a subordinate sent by our employer." Seeing the elf notice the green hag, Cyric shrugged and said indifferently.

The elf took a deep breath, clenched the holy symbol of the [Beast] in his hand and said: "Thank you, please call me Munien Xingyue, I will always remember your kindness."

Kelanvor and Cyric waved their hands, and seeing that the elf was so injured that it seemed difficult to walk, they looked at the green hag.

The green hag was a little helpless. Do they think they were doctors? They actually asked her to save people.

"Drink it and get ready to go."

The green hag threw out a bottle of red liquid and said.

"This is a healing potion made by extracting life force with the touch of a vampire, Jiejie. Drinking it will heal your injuries, but you will have to bear the psychological burden of cannibalism, Jiejie."

The green hag said with a sinister smile, Kelanwo glared at her, and was about to say something to comfort Munien, but unexpectedly he took out the bottle cap and drank it.

"I have a reason to live. When it's over, I will use my soul to pray to Corellon for redemption, but not now." Munion said firmly.

A foreshadowing written a long time ago is finally coming to light.
