crown of stars

Chapter 5 Magic and Drow

With a good start, the barriers between each other melted rapidly.The Messiah left the crystal cave from time to time, and brought some fish, water-rich beasts, and some small animals to the half-elf from underground rivers, canyons, and trenches, and the half-elf's body improved rapidly.

As the Messiah's footsteps deepened, the vast and dangerous territory of the Underdark revealed a corner to him.

Nigel shuttled through the geode flexibly and freely. After a period of cultivation, the wounds healed and scabs formed, and the pain in his body was greatly relieved.But every once in a while, there will always be a high fever attacking his body and mind, and it is often after he tries to use his spiritual power.

This is the price of gaining power, there is nothing in the world that can be obtained for free.

Nigel also reached a conclusion helplessly after seeking an answer in private to no avail.Simply being used to it in the past life, the half-elf is not depressed by it.

He went back and forth between the study and the bedroom cave as usual. When the illithids abandoned this place, they left a lot of useless things here.On the one hand, it tried its best to simplify the items it carried, and on the other hand, it also used it as bait. After all, its magical talent was not as amazing as the spiritual power of the illithid, and he could not build his own mage tower.

Most of the books in the study room are not esoteric, the real essence has long been buried underground along with the illithids, and most of the rest are worthless idle books and introduction to spells.

These worthless things in the eyes of illithids are exactly what the half-elves desperately need.As a commodity in the eyes of a slave trader, Nigel can only learn about the existence of books from other people's gossip. Even the trader who was once high in his eyes can only sign a contract.

How he was ecstatic when he found that the crystal cave was full of books.The crystals were polished smooth and made into a transparent shelf, standing on the dry and waterless ground.The Illithid's centuries-old collections were laid out in rows, and the parchments and thread-bound books stayed silently on the shelves.

Nigel pressed the ecstasy in his heart, gently removed a roll of sheepskin, and unfolded the extremely fragile scroll due to dehydration.

The light slanted on the ancient scroll, the dust floated lightly in the air, some of the handwriting on the light brown paper was already blurred, in his eyes it was no different from a heavenly book.

Nigel was still very excited, as if he saw another world opening up to him, a free and bright future.He is no longer a fish at the mercy of others, he is in charge of his own, and even the fate of others.

The half-elf absorbed the knowledge in the books rationally and eagerly, starting from the most simple grammar, and absorbing it bit by bit.

The embarrassment between the half-elf's eyebrows settled down, becoming a deeper and more gloomy temperament.Nigel came to the study room again, returned a travel note to the bookshelf, walked along the crystal ladder to the top floor, and took away a thick thread-bound book.

Nigel suddenly heard a slight "click", and the whole crystal stand trembled.He followed the sound and found a place on the completely transparent crystal plate where the light was slightly distorted.

He carefully pressed the book in his hand back up, and the crystal button sank without hindrance, and merged with the crystal plate again.Nigel took the book into his hand again, and the crystal button bounced again, causing the cave to vibrate.

The half-elf leaned out to observe this hidden mechanism intently, and his curiosity prompted him to gently push the crystal button with the spine of the book.

The crystal button didn't budge.

Nigel leaned on the bookshelf, pressed the tip of the spine against the crystal button, and drew a circle.The bookshelf slid to the left, and the half-elf nimbly jumped down the crystal ladder, avoiding the fate of falling down the stairs.

The smooth floor under the bookshelves is sunken downwards and folded into narrow steps.The walls on both sides are inlaid with crystals, and the colorful light is projected on the dark corridor, which is weird and gorgeous.

The half-elf took a deep breath and stepped into an unknown light and shadow.

Messiah stood solemnly on a stalagmite, spread his wings, and hid himself in the thick shadow.

Shortly after the illithid was slain, he encountered a squad of drow who came to investigate.After losing five teams in a row, a stronger drow priestess finally arrived.

A team of well-equipped drow sprinted along the sloping mountain path, the blades on their waists were painted with special paint so that they would not reflect light under any circumstances.The priestess was surrounded by a group of warriors in the center, with a haughty and contemptuous look, playing with a snake's head whip in her hand.The snake-shaped head kept spitting out scarlet snake letters, searching for the breath of its prey like a real living creature.

The priestess tries to surround herself with as many male warriors as possible, even though this makes her an obvious target.The priestess always had an ominous premonition. Since half a month ago, an illithid, an old neighbor next to the city, died inexplicably, and the team sent out to investigate has never returned.

Other patrol teams found a large number of stacked corpses of soldiers under a shaft leading to the lower floor. The blood splattered on the stones fully showed that they were thrown to death alive without any resistance.

There is nothing more terrifying than an opponent who can't be seen or touched, and who can easily subdue a whole team.The priestess couldn't help but reached out and grasped the spider necklace around her neck tightly. The spider in the middle of the necklace was inscribed with the articles of the third family and concealed a dance technique.

Maybe get the male mage to put a force field on me so I don't have to spend too much on defense.

The priestess thought indifferently, and cast a sidelong glance at the mage in gray robes in the team, silently calling the name of the Spider God Queen in her heart.

The drow goddess responded to her almost immediately, a cold force poured into her body from somewhere, and her eyes silently watched the progress of the underground world.

The priestess settled down, using her body as a transit point, diffused the divine power of the goddess along the way, and quickly searched for places suitable for combat in her mind.

When the Spider Goddess began to pour her divine power into the ground, Messiah felt a little uneasy. He really felt that some lofty and evil existence turned her gaze here.When that quintessential power diffused over, Messiah couldn't help but call out to the wind, and the two confronted once.

The wind scattered by the divine power blew onto the face of the priestess.

"There he is!" the priestess screamed, the snake's head suddenly opened its golden eyes, and drew straight towards the shadow, "Mage, quickly, add a shield to me!"

Seeing this, Messiah no longer hid his figure, spread his wings and glides down from the stalagmite, heading straight for Drow.

The drow mage reluctantly placed a magic shield on the priestess and ducked behind the warrior.There was a cruel smile on the corner of the priestess's mouth, the long whip hit the rock wall, and the gravel flew everywhere.

Messiah avoided the gravel, kept changing directions, and always kept a close distance from the drow team.

The priestess stood behind the incomplete rock wall, her black robe fluttered, her white hair fluttered, and against the wandering five snake whips, she had a different kind of evil charm.Several spiders gushed out from between her sleeves, spraying sticky webs until they caught their prey.

The Messiah sprinted back, and the web fell completely empty.A few concealed acid arrows shot through the mesh behind the spider web. The drow warrior also gave up the scimitar and used guns to block his flight path. There was a faint blue light on the arrow, which was obviously poisoned.

Messiah swung the tip of the knife, returning a few crescent-shaped white lights, and the wind blade drove straight in and tore apart the densely covered spider web.A few unlucky ghosts who had no time to dodge were nailed to the wall.

The priestess stared at the light and gliding opponent. His wings were obviously a symbol of a celestial creature, and he did not emit a disgusting white light like the celestial creature. His face and pointed ears were more like her distant relatives on the surface. He was tall and slender. Also holding a drow-style machete.

The existence in the dark has increased its investment in her body, and the divine power entering her body has soared to a terrifying level.The ecstasy of being favored by the Queen of God swept every inch of her heart, the priestess clenched her fists and laughed loudly.

"You look like an elf, and you look like an angel! I will break your wings, and I will lock your limbs, and present them to the queen at the ceremony of the third family!"

The priestess brandished a snake whip, her skin was reddish, and the restless divine power was rampaging in the cave, and the dust on the rock wall on the top was rustling.The mage cursed secretly, and quietly chased after the team.

The cold divine power seemed to spread around, like a big net that was getting tighter and tighter. While taking time to hunt down a few drow warriors, Messiah kept confronting that divine power existence.

The priestess held the holy emblem of the spider, and the strong divine power made her black skin slightly red, interfering with the opponent's movements in the air.

Messiah intentionally or unintentionally let go of the drow warriors and mages who were retreating, allowing them to calmly withdraw from the battle circle.The priestess waved the snake whip and began to mutter the spell, and the sound resounded through the cave.Behind her, the writhing shadow condensed into an extremely beautiful white-haired elf, dazzling like a giant black widow spider with red eyes.

He instinctively felt something was wrong, silver light gleamed from his fingertips, and the unstoppable silk thread shuttled through the dark tunnel, attacking the priestess.

The female elf in the shadow smiled at him mysteriously, but without any movement, the silver aura suddenly shattered and melted into the air.

The priestess was still chanting incantations unconsciously, and on the beautiful head of the spider holy emblem in her palm, the two eyes faintly emitted red light.

The Messiah returned without success, drew a smooth curve in the air, stood on the stalactites and regrouped.

Neither side has revealed their hole cards yet, but there is no doubt that the mysterious shadow made him feel pressured.

Weird rustling and clicking sounds came from everywhere, the priestess smiled determinedly, took out a dagger again, and slit her wrist.

The blood splashed on the gravel ground, flowing and burning, turning into a mass of black and red flames.At the same time, the owner of the mysterious voice also revealed his true face.

Messiah sighed and fell backwards.

The author has something to say:

FGO draws the Conqueror King! !Originally, there were still four stones, and I planned to unload them as soon as I pumped them, but they were shipped as soon as they were shipped!This must be the mushroom conspiracy! !
