Spellcasting Heavens

..casting the heavens

With the cold wind howling from the extreme north swept the earth, Icewind Dale and Ten Towns finally officially announced that they had entered a terrible winter.

Different from the winter that most people understand, the winter here has exceeded the limit that human beings can endure in a strict sense. The coldest days can even reach more than minus sixty degrees Celsius, and the duration of the day is very short, even There are polar nights for a week or two in a row, with no sunlight at all.

In such a harsh environment, except for those creatures that have evolved special physiques in a cold environment, any outdoor activity is basically equivalent to suicide.

So the only thing the residents of Ten Towns can do is hide at home, enjoy the dried fish and bacon that they have caught and dried in the summer, and light a fuel mixed with herbivore dung to keep them warm.

Although the war started by Akar Kessell caused heavy losses to the residents of Icewind Dale, and had to strictly limit rations to allow more people to survive the cruel winter, in any case, they finally survived and did not need to Live with nasty savages.

Due to Zhang Cheng's intervention, although Wulfgar still used his powerful force to persuade some of his fellow clan to come to support, there were only less than 200 people.

In addition, the war was over by the time they arrived, so they failed to gain the approval of the residents of Ten Towns, so they had to leave in a dreadful way.

The barbarians have no idea that a powerful army is quickly sweeping the entire frozen wasteland with the help of the cold wind, and it will not be long before they will become one of the targets to be conquered.

At that time either choose to surrender, or be massacred, there will never be a third situation.

...

As the mastermind behind all this, Zhang Cheng is currently lying in the best house in Ten Towns in human form, eating a sumptuous dinner while flipping through the spell book that originally belonged to the red wizard Mo Kai.

After more than half a month of study and research, he has completed the study of the basic theory. Yesterday, he took the time to crack the protection magic blessed on it, and began to explore the unique spellcasting skills of Faerun, so as to use his mage professional template Converts to the spellcasting level of this world.

Of course, before that, he still needs to finish touching the net.

From the description in the basic textbook, he already understood that although the Goddess of Magic controls the magic net, she will not arbitrarily prohibit someone from using the magic net, even if the opponent is the enemy of the goddess.

This also means,

In addition to directly attacking the goddess herself, there is no need to worry about being banned from the Internet.

Just as Zhang Cheng was concentrating on deciphering the wonderful spells in the magic book, the closed door was suddenly pushed open, followed by a figure walking in with a biting cold wind.

He closed the door again, then shook off the snow on his cloak, put a huge elk on the ground, and bowed gracefully with one hand on his chest: Good evening, Your Excellency, I bring you fresh meat. I believe you who are tired of dried fish and cured meat will not mind changing your taste.”

Thank you! But this kind of weather is probably quite uncomfortable for the dark elves, right? Why do you still go out hunting every now and then and bring me fresh food? Zhang Cheng asked meaningfully while touching his chin.

Since he moved into Bryn Sands, Drizzt has been visiting every few days, delivering elk, rabbits, and fresh fish, no matter how bad the weather.

Ordinary people may think that the Dark Elf Ranger is expressing gratitude, but he is very clear that this is actually a kind of surveillance and distrust in disguise.

After all, his current identity is a terrifying evil dragon, a monster that can easily set the entire town in flames, so it is normal to be wary.

I just hope you don't get mad at your dissatisfaction with the food. Besides, I've been on the surface for a long time, and I've almost gotten used to the harsh climate here. With that, Drizzt took two steps back, allowing the servant to lift the heavy The elk was carried into the back kitchen.

In order to appease Zhang Cheng, Cassios, the leader of Bryn Sand, not only gave up his residence, but also specially arranged two maids and two male servants to take care of his daily life.

So it didn't take a while for the servants to process the whole elk and serve the steaming stew and bone broth on the table.

Let's eat together. Zhang Cheng pushed forward one of the meat plates and the soup bowl.

thank you very much.

Drizzt didn't refuse, he sat down generously, picked up the bowl and carefully sipped the hot bone soup, and after a few mouthfuls, his body froze from the cold wind warmed up.

But his attention was obviously not on the food. Instead, he looked at the other person with the corner of his eye. After about three or five minutes, he pretended to inadvertently ask: Your Excellency, are you studying magic?

Yes, I'm very interested in magic. If you have relevant books or notes, I'd like to exchange something of the equivalent. Zhang Cheng answered in the affirmative without thinking.

I don't understand, you are already a formidable and powerful being, why do you still need to learn magic? The dark elf looked puzzled.

In his memory, dragons should be lazy and arrogant. Most dragons would rather lie down on their treasures and sleep soundly than leave their lair and enter the human world, let alone learn martial arts and magic.

Strong? Am I really strong? Zhang Cheng put down the tableware in his hand, his eyes revealed a playful look, and quickly shook his head. No, Ranger, there are still many things in this world that are stronger than me, such as the powerful undead spellcaster - the Lich, and for example those famous old dragons and powerful legendary wizards, no matter which one It can kill me, and it's not even the high gods and the terrifying lords of the abyss...

So you want to use the power of magic to make up the gap? Drizzt frowned subconsciously as if thinking of something.

That's right! Knowledge is power! I need to learn, from scratch to swim in the sea of ​​magic step by step. Maybe the prejudice and discrimination of childhood prevent you from understanding the greatness of magic, but I can tell you that it is a A power capable of slaying gods as mortals.

While saying these words, Zhang Cheng's eyes were once again full of madness and destruction, which he managed to suppress.

The last question, how long do you plan to stay in Shizhen? The dark elite was keenly aware of the passing breath, and the muscles all over the body could not help tensing.

One winter! When the spring starts next year, I will choose to go south to Luskan. Zhang Cheng didn't try to hide anything, and bluntly stated part of his plan.

Spring? My dwarf friend Bruenor is also going out for an adventure during the spring. If you don't mind, can you come with us? Drizzt quickly asked.

You don't need to ask to know that he hopes to resolve this potential threat when he leaves.

No problem! I'm looking forward to walking with you...
