Lord of Spells from Faerûn

Troll Mountains, Tomb of the Warlock.

A group of mysterious people wearing red and black robes knelt before a huge altar, which was filled with thousands of fresh corpses.

Next to it, there was a long line of human beings waiting in a dull queue, each waiting to have their necks wiped off by the butcher holding a kitchen knife in front of the altar and thrown onto the altar.

"The Great Sect Master, the ruler of the third level of the Nine Hells, the mastermind of the conspiracy, the devourer of human nature, the Lord of Greed, your servant calls you here to come to this weak world, set off a killing frenzy, and harvest Sinful soul!"

The mysterious people kneeling in front of the altar prayed in unison, and their terrible blasphemous words attracted the arrival of some evil being.

The corpse on the altar turned into blood, forming a huge rune array in the air. A thick red light pillar shot straight into the sky from the ground and penetrated the rune array. On top of it, a mysterious bloody cocoon was born in place, like The heart is beating like a thump.

In the distance of Waterdeep City, a huge whirlpool formed in the sky, spreading for at least several thousand kilometers. In the center of the whirlpool, one could barely see an extremely dazzling crimson light pillar falling from the sky and shooting straight into the sky.

As we got closer to the vortex, the clouds became darker and darker, and there were even continuous red lightning strikes on the ground, and bursts of black acid rain with sulfur fell from the sky.

After the Black Staff cast an extremely effective fireball, he stared at the red light beam in the distance with an ugly expression.

"Is this the location of the Troll Mountains? Damn it, those group of sorcerers summoned something at this time." The calm expression of the black staff finally changed.

Warlocks are a group of spellcasters who believe in evil beings from other planes. Whatever they summon must be extremely evil.

But Halaster and his minions have completely restrained the Black Rod. If he chooses to stop the ritual now, I am afraid that the entire Waterdeep City will suffer heavy losses.

Thinking of the scene when his wife Silverhand entrusted Waterdeep City to him before leaving, Black Rod gritted his teeth and chose to stay where he was.

On the other side, Imric and the other three also noticed the astonishing red light beam in the distance.

Imrik narrowed his eyes slightly. That location seemed to be the Troll Mountains?

He suddenly thought of the sorcerer who had been silent for a long time. It seemed that this time, taking advantage of the beginning of the hunting season, all the ghosts and snakes in the entire Sword Coast came out to challenge the majesty of the Northland overlord.

Jin Long said with a solemn expression on the side: "I feel an extremely evil aura. I'm afraid there might be some extraordinary being being summoned there."

"What could it be?" Imrik murmured softly.

Jin Long heard the answer with an expression of embarrassment: "Maybe it's the devil, maybe it's a demon, or a messy existence from the outer plane. If it's a devil, it's fine. They are used to infiltrating human society and showing their conspiracies to tempt and degenerate, but if It's the latter two. I'm afraid the entire Sword Coast will suffer a disaster."

Then he turned to Imrik and said: "I'm leaving, little mage, and Reiner. I suggest that if you can, stay away from the Sword Coast area as soon as possible in the past few days."

After saying that, he transformed into the prototype and soared into the sky.

Reiner also turned his head at this time, and said a little embarrassedly: "Imrik, can I stay with you for two days? If you don't mind, I will organize a group to leave the Sword Coast and go to Myth Drannor. escort team, we can go together."

Imric asked curiously: "Of course, but are you planning to go to Myth Drannor? To be honest, I actually plan to go there too."

Reina nodded and said, "My aunt once married far away to Myth Drannor. Although her surname is no longer Wujin, she is still my only remaining relative."

Imrik took Reiner back to Hashantir's house, perhaps because it was one of the most expensive areas in the North District. A city guard team composed of many professionals cleared away all the monsters here, and As for Imrik, when he arrived home, he was surprised to find that his home seemed intact and no monsters had invaded.

Two days later, the monsters in Waterdeep City were finally eliminated. The entire North District and Coastal District did not suffer much damage due to the tenacious protection of the city guards and temple guards. However, the people in the Port District and South District were different. A large number of humans and alien creatures were robbed and taken away, and many civilians who were attacked and killed were left lying on the street.

The entire City of Waterdeep fell into mourning.

In addition, the red beam of light from the Troll Mountains also disappeared that day. Whatever the group of sorcerers summoned, it was obvious that it had successfully landed on that land.

Because Reiner got half of the remaining 400,000 gold coins, he became emboldened to spend money. He hired a team of adventurers with an average level of 9 at a cost of 1,000 gold coins a day, consisting of a level 9 warlock, A 10th-level fighter, a 9th-level bard, and a 9th-level rogue.

Although Imric was also preparing to leave Waterdeep City, he still had many things to deal with, so he did not choose to go with Reiner. This made Reiner quite regretful. After all, Imric, as a sixth-level mage, could only do so for a day. The hiring price is two hundred and sixty gold coins. If you can hire a mage who killed Mansong to join the team, the journey will be safer.

During the hunting season, although Imrik's mansion was not disturbed, the Ryldea Tavern was a different scene. The entire first floor of the tavern looked like it had been hit by a dump truck several times. The walls There were several big holes in them.

Imrik had no choice but to spend more than a thousand gold coins to repair it and buy new furniture.

Ryldea is now his most profitable project. Even if he goes to Myth Drannor later, he must keep this golden hen that lays eggs.

He also asked the Shining Chamber of Commerce to help him put the house in Dragonblade Castle on the market for sale. Although there has been no movement in the Troll Mountains in the past few days, and he has not heard anything about the monster army, Imrik believes that if If a disaster breaks out, housing prices in small towns like Longblade Castle may plummet. It's better to take action now and still make some profits.

As for the house in Waterdeep City, he has no intention of getting rid of it. As one of the most prosperous cities in Faerûn, Waterdeep City will be his long-term stronghold in the future.

Carrying a huge sum of 600,000 gold coins, Imrik once again went to the Tower of Order with confidence to do some shopping. He had been coveting the command fire element ring for a long time! .

"Honorable Mr. Thor, the price of this command fire element ring is 400,000 gold coins." The shopping guide lady enthusiastically introduced Imrik to the side.

Imrik couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. Two-thirds of the gold coins had gone out at this moment, but he also understood that such powerful high-level magic equipment was not available everywhere. The cost was huge, and you could earn it if you bought it.

In the continent of Faerûn, the casting time of a piece of magic equipment is directly proportional to its rarity. The approximate calculation formula is one thousand gold coins per day. This magic ring costing more than 200,000 yuan takes more than two hundred days to cast. , and more importantly, after making such powerful advanced magic equipment, its makers often fall into a "spell silence" period of one month.

Due to the large amount of magic power injected during the manufacturing stage, the mage will be unable to connect to the magic network and remember to cast spells for a month after the manufacturing is completed. This situation is called "spell silence".

Because the production process is extremely long, and after the production is completed, it will be in a dangerous state of being powerless, few high-level mages are willing to make high-level magic equipment.

"Give it to me." Imri gritted his teeth and bought the ring anyway. The various advanced spells it came with were not what he valued. What was more precious about this ring was that it had high resistance to energy damage (fire) and The supreme position in front of fire element creatures.

The former is like Mansong's high-level resistance energy ring, but it is limited to fire damage, but it can be superimposed with the high-level resistance energy ring that will be repaired in the future! Achieve resistance to energy damage of the seventh ring and below!

What is this concept? In other words, even a powerful seven-ring spell such as Delayed Explosion Fireball cannot break through Imric's own defense (of course, provided there is no metamagic spell).

As for the latter, it is even more powerful. With this ring, even the fire element elders are harmless pets in front of Imrik and cannot actively attack Imrik.

Moreover, all spells that summon fire elements will be greatly strengthened. In the summoning list of the series of monster summoning spells, three, six, eight, and nine ring spells can respectively summon four levels of small elements, large elements, giant elements, and elemental elders. things.

With this ring enhancement, these four levels of summons will be amplified into medium elemental, giant elemental, elemental elder, and legendary elemental lord!

You know, many of the elemental lords have even reached the legendary realm! What a powerful function it is to be able to try your luck with nine-level spells to summon the projection of a legendary creature.

Imrik also spent 3,500 gold coins to purchase a pair of elf boots, which allow the wearer to move quietly in almost any environment.

With these boots, combined with the invisibility spell, Imric's ability to survive in stealth has been greatly improved.

Swapping shotguns for cannons, Imrik is now filled with all kinds of high-level magic equipment. In order to prevent his luxurious black archmage robe from being too conspicuous, he even put on a black cloak.

Imric put on the newly purchased luxurious high-level magic equipment and returned home in high spirits.

"Sir, this is a letter from the Chamber of Commerce." The steward stepped forward and handed a letter to Imric.

Imric opened it and saw that it also contained a check from Woking Bank, which read: "Dear Imric, your house has been sold for three thousand gold coins, deducting one hundred gold coins. The commission of five gold coins, all gold coins are deposited in the check.”

Imric collected the check. Now that everything was arranged, it was time to set off to Mystery Drannor.
