Lord of Spells from Faerûn

Chapter 35 Secrets and Parting

The red-haired woman's plaintive voice came like flowing water: "My name is Jesira Kestel Harp, and I am one of the seven apprentices accepted by Halaster. At first, my teacher was very It was normal until I moved into this underground cave and everything changed.”

She paused and continued: "His character became more and more extreme and crazy. He captured various monsters and ordered these monsters to go out to hunt various creatures from time to time. The other disciples thought this was only temporary and still followed him. I was the only one beside him who foresaw that his madness was an incurable terminal disease. As long as he was still in this underground cave, he would never be able to return to normal!

So, I found an opportunity, escaped from here, returned to the surface and started my own life. With the gift of the goddess, I became a preaching mage. But that terrible madman didn't intend to let me go. He captured me and imprisoned me. In the Bloody Hand Castle.

Fortunately, I escaped again, but the entire cave had been set up by him with a powerful mystery barrier, and I could no longer escape. In order to avoid him, I sealed myself in the rock and became a spirit body. , in these long years, I have often seen adventurers like you in danger. Fortunately, I still have some magic power left to save you. "

Imrik said gratefully after hearing this: "Thank you, great lady, your kindness is like a torch shining in this dark underground world. Is there anything we can do to help you?"

Jerome nodded hurriedly after hearing this: "Yes, madam, let us help you defeat Hellast and end your fate of wandering here forever."

Hearing Jerome's overestimating words, the red-haired woman tried her best not to show contempt. She said softly: "Children, your strength is too weak and still needs to be tempered. Go ahead and leave. Here, wait until one day, you are promoted to senior professionals, come here to help me, solve this nightmare of Waterdeep City, and bring peace to the kind people. Before that, I will do my best to organize Hellas here. Especially hurting innocent people."

When Jerome heard the red-haired woman's sincere words, he patted his chest movedly and said, "I swear in the name of Lathander, dear lady, I will definitely come back here to help you eradicate evil!"

The red-haired woman nodded with satisfaction and looked at the rest of the people. Imrik also said at this time: "Dear lady, your kindness makes me ashamed. I promise, I will do my best." Yes, I can help you defeat Halaster one day in the future."

The red-haired woman was delighted after hearing this. Among all the people here, she was most optimistic about the dragon-born paladin and mage. Especially this mage, who was exposed to the third-ring magic at such a young age. He must be a lucky person with extraordinary talents. , the future is promising.

In fact, for many years, she has been using the same method to coax piles of adventurers. Once she sees a promising seedling, she will direct and act in a good show, and then sell hard tricks to let these innocent people The adventurers promised to help her when she becomes a high-level adventurer in the future. In fact, some people have tried to come back to help her, but unfortunately, they are too weak to achieve her request.

After getting everyone's promise, the red-haired lady was in a good mood and teleported them to the ruins of the Arcane Academy on the underground floor with a wave of her hand.

Everyone looked at each other in a daze, and they still haven't come back to their senses from the thrilling roller coaster experience just now.

"Then, what should we do now?" Everyone looked at each other.

"Leave here first. You also heard Ms. Jasira say that this place will be more dangerous and it is not advisable to stay for a long time." Imrik suggested.

Of course, the truth is that he always felt that the red-haired woman was plotting against him and others, and he just wanted to get out of here quickly.

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this, and the group returned to the shaft again and handed over six gold coins and returned to the surface.

After several days of hard travel, the dwarf Zach proposed that everyone have a drink in the tavern to celebrate, and everyone agreed.

"Boss! Have a glass of dwarf beer! And three glasses of mixed wine!" Zac, the dwarf, shouted loudly.

The paladin firmly stated that he would not drink alcohol and took the milk instead of wine. Everyone clinked glasses and drank the cool drinks in one breath.

"It's so cool! Sure enough, a glass of beer is the best thing after a hard day's work!" Zak the dwarf said, stroking his belly.

After finishing his drink, Hamlein put down his glass and said, "Take it easy and don't drink all the money you have."

The dwarf Zach blew his beard and glared: "Are you kidding me? How can I finish drinking with so much money!"

Then, realizing that his voice might be too loud, he whispered again: "When I sell that broken shield, I can get more than three thousand gold coins no matter what."

Domila laughed loudly after hearing this, and then said seriously as if she had thought of something: "Seriously, what should we do next?"

Jerome thought for a while and said: "Of course, continue to take risks and hone yourself. Don't forget, Ms. Jahira is still waiting for us to save her!"

Everyone nodded, and Imrik suddenly said: "Next, I won't go with you for the time being. I need a period of time to study magic and improve myself. Adventures will not help me. Next year Let’s meet again today.”

Everyone nodded after listening, and Jerome reluctantly patted the black-robed mage on the shoulder and said: "Be careful, Xiao Yi. Today next year, we will come back to find you. Don't forget, you will always be Dragon Spear." A member of the adventure group! Haha.”

On that day, everyone was drunk and as restrained as Jerome, and later joined the crowd. When everyone woke up the next morning, the figure of the black-robed mage had disappeared into the morning mist.

Imrik returned to the high-end hotel he rented. The original purpose was to collect enough money to purchase real estate in the North District. However, because the most valuable long sword was taken away by the paladin, each person could only get three dollars. Although more than a thousand gold coins is a huge amount of money, it is still not enough for the mage.

The small black wooden shield is with everyone in the Dragonlance Adventure Group. After they finish processing it, it will be stored in Wojin Bank, and Imric will pick it up in person.

Wojin is the commercial goddess of Faerûn. Her church provides banking services, storing gold coins for customers and withdrawing them at Wojin temples across Faerûn. However, unlike banks on Earth, Wojin Bank not only has no interest, but every year There is also a three-point storage fee.

"It seems that I still have to continue my old business, selling scrolls." Imrik sighed.

In the next few days, he will stay in the hotel and copy the scrolls.
