Lord of Spells from Faerûn

In the dark hall of Zhentil Castle, Manson opened his eyes on the throne. His eyes were full of success. Yes, he did not care about the death of clones, let alone those weak mortals. His goal was achieved. Now, Elminster is under his control. He just needs to wait quietly for the news of the success of Waterdeep City.

Fuzuo Er said sadly in the darkness: "Does Elminster have any doubts?"

Manson frowned. He always felt that there was something in Elminster's last words. The doubts in Manson's heart made him hide Elminster's suspicions as if nothing had happened: "No, he just thought this was another incident." invasion."

Fu Zuoer nodded and said: "Frieda and your men are back, and the news they brought is not so pleasant."

Mansong's heart sank, and Fu Zuoer's words gave him a bad feeling.

"Let them in," Manzon said.

The female priest and male mage walked in, their expressions were filled with fear, which further exacerbated the dark archmage's doubts.

"We failed, great master." The male mage said tremblingly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists due to too much tension.

"What are you talking about!" Mansong yelled violently. He grabbed a goblet and threw it hard at the male mage's face. The glass shattered with the sound, and the sharp glass fragments hit the male mage's face. , pain appeared along with the blood, but he did not dare to say a word.

"The strength of the Lord of the Silver Mirror exceeds our expectations," the male mage stammered in a low voice. "Drow. Drow failed. Serdarus was sealed by the black staff that arrived. It is initially expected that the priests of drow were also eliminated by the black staff."

Mansong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. In order to complete his plan to invade the port area of ​​Waterdeep City, he sent out eight thousand elite troops and lost a high-level clone that cost nearly one million gold coins to make. Now they tell themselves that those useless drow have failed!

He opened his eyes and took off the black glove on his left hand. A scarlet beam of light shot from his hand towards the male mage. Severe pain erupted in the male mage's horrified eyes. He curled up on the ground and screamed, with veins popping out of his blood vessels. , it seems that he will die suddenly on the spot in the next moment.

After about a minute, when the male mage was about to collapse, Mansong stopped casting spells. He looked coldly at the male mage who was lying on the ground and said: "You should be glad that the God of Tyranny is in urgent need of manpower now, otherwise I will do it myself." Put your soul into my collection."

The female priest on the side was so frightened that she didn't say a word. Manson's behavior was the behavior of a tyrant that Ben admired most, but when the target of abuse was himself, it was not so easy.

Mansong glanced at Fu Zuoer, pointed at the female priest and said: "You can manage your subordinates yourself."

Fu Zuoer didn't speak. He stretched out an energy whip from his hand, wrapped it around the female priest's neck like a collar, violently dragged her to her feet, and then walked out of the door.

Manson rubbed his brow and looked out the door coldly. The failure of the plan and Elminster's words made him upset. He also had a trace of doubt about Ben's order. What kind of drastic change was it? They need to devote all their efforts to expanding the influence of Bann Church.

"Being with a king is like being with a tiger."

——

Four months later, Waterdeep.

Four months have passed since the drow mage caused the massacre in Waterdeep. The Sword Coast region has experienced a cold late winter. The Moon of Melting Snow (May) has finally raised the climate to the point where it is not necessary to wear cotton-padded clothes. season.

The destroyed area of ​​the port area has now taken on a new look, and the road repaired by magic even looks more beautiful than the original road. The Waterdeep City Council allocated nearly 2 million gold coins in financial allocations to provide pensions to relatives who lost their families that night. and building new homes.

The Zhentarim have completely disappeared from the port area. Whether it is the sailors in the tavern or the gangsters in the alleys, they all know that the Thieves Guild is the overlord that controls the underground world of Waterdeep City.

Of course, most people don't know the relationship between the Magic Crystal Tower and the Thieves Guild, but the businessmen who make a living in the port area know who they pay a lot of tax money to every year.

"President Wally," a fat middle-aged man said to Wally flatteringly in a mansion.

"This is the tax we donated this year for the city's construction of the port area, you see." The man handed a check from Woking Bank to Wally and said meaningfully.

Wally coughed and took a look at the check. It was 300,000 gold coins.

"Well," Wally pondered, and then said, "Your Shining Chamber of Commerce has always been an important member of the Waterdeep City port area, but I may need to consider your proposal."

A flash of understanding flashed in the man's eyes. The so-called consideration was actually asking for advice from the master behind him. The master of the Magic Crystal Tower was the master behind the Thieves Guild. This fact had long been known to the heads of many chambers of commerce in the port area. clear.

"Of course, of course." The man smiled flatteringly. "You should think about it slowly, but in order to make you think more carefully, I want to explain it to you."

"Our Chamber of Commerce has unique channels with the elves to obtain the qualifications to trade with Yongju Island. I can guarantee that no one in the entire Waterdeep City except our Shining Chamber of Commerce can do it." The man patted his chest proudly and said.

Then, he cautiously suggested: "This is why we hope that your power can guarantee our rights and crack down on bandits on the sea. I believe that this line will definitely bring unprecedented profits to Waterdeep City!"

Wally nodded impatiently and said: "I understand, you don't need to explain these to me, I will think about it carefully. Anyway, it's still early for you to discuss trade with Yongju Island, isn't it?"

The man nodded in agreement. After Wally drove the man away, he rubbed his brow tiredly. Since the Thieves Guild took control of the port area, he has to deal with the heads of various chambers of commerce every day. These people are investors who pay a lot of taxes. As a thief who is used to all kinds of assassinations and thefts, Wally has to deal with these. People really have a headache.

Wally walked to a silver mirror and recited a few spells. After a vortex appeared, he knelt on the ground and reported: "Master, the people from the Shining Chamber of Commerce are here. They paid tribute 300,000 gold coins, as before. That request hopes that we can clear the pirates from the waterway before they open up trade with the elves on Evermeet Island."

Imric pondered for a while behind the mirror. Evermeet Island is located in the depths of the Endless Sea. It is the most powerful kingdom in Faerûn today, the kingdom of elves. Evermeet Island will never welcome anyone who is not an elf. When travelers set foot on the island, the surrounding waters are protected by a series of defense facilities all year round, and are also protected by the most powerful navy in the entire Faerûn continent.

The Forever Island Navy's fleet includes sleek and elegant swan ships, powerful dragon ships, and four gigantic war dragons. There are also a large number of sky riders patrolling the sky at any time.

If the Shining Chamber of Commerce can really open up the trade route with Yongju Island, it will be indeed extraordinary. However, although the waters of Yongju Island are protected by strong military forces and there are no pirates, there are rampant pirates along the coast of the Sword Coast region. power.

These pirates all collect a large percentage of tolls from passing caravans, depending on the goods on the ship. This is why the person in charge of the Shining Chamber of Commerce wants to eliminate pirates. This route can obtain a large amount of precious materials from the Elf Kingdom. If the abnormal trade goods were drained by these despicable pirates, the losses would be too great.

In addition, the Lord of the Magic Crystal Tower is now a powerful legendary mage known to the entire upper class of Waterdeep City. If he comes forward, he will naturally be able to deal with the pirates that have been rampant in the Sword Coast.

"I know, I'll take care of it," Imrik replied.

Closing the silver mirror, Imric smiled playfully. The Shining Chamber of Commerce seemed to be the chamber of commerce that brought him to Dragonblade Castle. No wonder it sounded so familiar. Unexpectedly, it has now become one of the largest chambers of commerce in Waterdeep City. It also opened up trade routes with elves.

This is extraordinary. The elves on Evergather Island are the most developed elven civilization in the entire Faerûn continent. They have countless advanced magic technologies. Imric is very much looking forward to obtaining information about the elves through this trade route. magical knowledge.

Putting down the prophecy mirror, Imrik continued to work hard and returned to the laboratory to be a little bee thirsty for knowledge.

The three nine-ring spells given to him by Kelben have been thoroughly learned by Imrik. They are the nine-ring protection spell [Confinement], the nine-ring necromantic spell [Wind of Death], and the nine-ring transformation spell. Spell [Black Rod's Copy Casting Spell].

The function of [Confinement Technique] has already been demonstrated by Kelben. It can put an existence that cannot resist into a state of suspended animation, and then permanently seal it in an infinitesimal singularity and bury it underground.

[Wind of Death] is a very rare necromancy attack spell. It can blow the wind of death composed of negative energy. Because the negative energy of the wind of death is extremely violent, even those who are immune to negative energy cannot resist death. The erosion of the wind is a very powerful spell that ignores defense.

As for the last one, it is Kelben's special skill - [Black Rod's Copy Spell]. As the name of this spell implies, you can use this spell to copy any spell you see within one minute. The spell must not be higher than the eighth level.

In other words, this spell can use a ninth-level spell slot to secretly learn an eighth-level or lower spell!

This effect was a surprise to Imrik. He has unlimited spell slots and can use this spell unscrupulously to copy any spell he doesn't know, and then copy it into the Book of All Laws, even including many spells unique to magical creatures. Spell-like abilities!

Imrik is very satisfied with this spell. It has greatly broadened Imrik's channels for obtaining spells. You must know that Druid magic, as well as divine magic, including psychic powers, etc., are very few. There is a scroll, or there is no spell scroll at all. The range that Imrik can learn with this spell is too wide.

The only pity is that he can't learn the nine-level spell, Imrik thought with regret. However, he is confident that after being promoted to Legend, he can develop more advanced versions of legendary spells. At that time, not only the nine-ring spells, but even the legendary spells will have the possibility of being stolen!

I'm actually very hesitant to open the Elf, hey. In addition, the time now is May of 1358, which is the month of melting snow. Just a quick reminder~
