Surviving the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 885 The So-Called Secret of Chang'an Town

Hill couldn't help but rubbed his forehead, he was really crazy, how could he ask Selûne!

Maybe Shar herself knows better than she what is in the Silver Moon Temple!
Anyway, it has nothing to do with Aglaia... He is not kind enough to help Waterdeep City get out of trouble, and it is already very good to be able to accept fleeing refugees.

"Lister, make the Temple of Aglea ready to accommodate refugees."

"Yes, sir, do I need to inform the Temple of Tyr to be ready to accept refugees?
Mr. Lynn is now asking them to defend the city walls on the north and south sides of the port. Although it is unlikely, he is worried that someone will take advantage of it. "

Hill nodded. When protection is needed, the Toril people still recognize Tyre's reputation... Although the people in the Temple of Tyre must be prepared, it is better for him to remind him.

As for the north and south sides of Aglaia City... He could already hear the roars of Taili and Tustin, and there were also chaotic responses from the north.

They were yelling at each other, planning to see who would kill the most invaders... Drow was stupid to leave from those two mountains, and they didn't really want to invade Aglaia.

Hill's dragon language is only a little flawed in reading and writing... listening is still no problem.

He stood up quietly, sensing the strength of the enemies in the wilderness... He didn't even have a demigod level, did he come to die?

Rose is sure that Hill will not save Waterdeep City, right?
But suspicious, she still decided to send cannon fodder to harass Aglaia... She hasn't sent any large tools such as disease stone golems. We cannot avoid this kind of disease damage.

He turned his head to look at Waterdeep City, where black light was already bursting out... The defense of the Black Rod Tower was opened so quickly... This attack is not weak!

I just hope that Waterdeep City can survive the drow's attack... I just don't know how many people participated in the riot under the 'mountain' where a large number of evil mages are hidden in Waterdeep City.

To be honest, Hill really didn't expect that there would be a mage riot in the 'Shashita' who was suppressed by that mad mage.

Although there have been rumors of Helast Black Robe's death in recent years, most mages don't quite believe it.

It might be possible if he traveled to other worlds on a whim, after all Elminster was always running around.

But death?
Even Hill, who has only been in Toril for a few years, can't believe it.

However, the black robe has indeed not appeared for more than ten years, and even some high-ranking mages sneaked into his territory, but he didn't take any action to teach him... Only his constructed creatures have been patrolling every corner of the 'downhill' .

Perhaps these troublesome mages felt that the black robe was isolated from Toril?
Most of the pure mages can only hide themselves now, after all, the plague of spells makes them just stay honest... But the undead mages are different, they have become arrogant during this period of time.

No one knows why the magic net is so lenient towards necromancers. Maybe it's because the shadow world is not stable, but it has become much stronger... Anyway, the use of undead summoning spells has no effect at all.

Hill has heard a lot of news about Searle from Lynn during this time... This country of the undead has become particularly aggressive now, eyeing the two countries next door, and the sky of the undead is ready to go. , it is very likely that war will break out at any time.

The ambitious necromancer chief Salazat has officially become the master of Cyre.

Necromancers also need resources. When the opportunity comes, anyone will be tempted, even those who used to live in black robes.

Even if you dare not do anything to the magic tower in the black robe, there are still a lot of treasures, experimental equipment, food, other necessities, magic items and servants accumulated by Helast in the labyrinth 'under the mountain'... as long as they rob them, they will leave , even if Helast Heipao came back, so what?

They have long since disappeared!

Moreover, there is also a chance to sack Waterdeep City with Drow... When the black robe is around, they dare not do this, not only the black robe doesn't like to hurt people in the world on the ground, but also the Harpist and Kelben's Moon Star Organization Let them have to be honest.

But the drows were the ones who burned and killed, and they were at most looting... Even if the people of Waterdeep want revenge in the future, they are not the ones who seek revenge first!

That's why there were more Necromancers who participated in the attack on Waterdeep City than those who went to the Black Robe Labyrinth... It is not uncommon to see bullying and fearing the hardest.

Fran frowned and asked, "Aren't you going to see the city wall?"

Hill shook his head: "I was already fighting in the mystic, and if I run over, what's the point of fighting? Wait! Lynn won't overestimate himself, and he will call me in time when he needs it. "

Knowing that there is a backer, and standing next to the backer, is still different to most people. The three words 'can't see' may still bring them a little nervousness.

Lynn probably just wanted to exercise the city guard's sense of crisis, and he had to prevent them from losing their desire to fight because the city lord was too powerful... He has always been a farsighted elf, and he may have begun to think about what to do if a certain encounter When it was time for the enemy, Hill had no time to return to the question of what to do with Aglaia.

At the very least, the Aglaia City Guards had to be able to firmly guard their city before Hill rushed back.

Hill could understand Lynn's worries, so he decided to wait here... He didn't need to show his strength.Even if you never show up.

Selûne suddenly said, "Why would Changsaddle Town help Drow? It's clear that their Archmage Marco and Kelben of Waterdeep City are good friends, aren't they?"

She seemed just trying to figure out what was going on, but the focus of her concern was a bit odd.

Hill suddenly remembered that when the Moon Maiden opened a hotel in Waterdeep City, it happened to be the period when Marco and Kelben were building the Black Rod Tower together.

So she did know these two archmages, and they should have a good relationship... Her famous Silvermoon Church in Waterdeep City was also established at that time.

Hill shook his head: "It's two different things. Marco Huber is not the patriarch of the Huber family.

For that kind of mage family, the patriarch will only be in the neutral camp, otherwise, what about those family members on the evil side?
There are also many necromancers in the Harbell family.

If there is a chance to bring the Harbell family to a higher level, even if Marco does not agree with their actions, he will remain silent... For the treasures in the treasure maze 'under the mountain', especially some spell materials, as long as you get a small part, That's enough to drive them crazy. "

The Harbell family indeed has many archmages in their 20s and above, but the advanced occupations they have are not good, and they are unwilling to take up advanced occupations bestowed by the gods. There have always been rumors that they are related to the devil...so most people It's hard to get to real level 30.

Although many mages can recognize the difference between the magic net and the original power at level 17.8, they start to learn how to get rid of the magic net and how to use the original power to cast spells.

But those imprints of the past are holding their hands tightly all the time, making them spin around in circles: the stage of level 20 is basically a critical period for them to get rid of this pulling force.

Some people are gifted wizards, they can rely on themselves to go all the way without any help, smoothly reach level 30, or even surpass level 40, and finally be able to switch between the original power and the magic net spell at will.

For example, that Elminster... Azuth, the mage god, is no better than him in the creation of spells.

Those who can create spells above level 7 are basically in this category... Every spell that makes the resonance of the law recognized represents their further control over the law.

But some people, if there is no senior to guide the way, will get lost in the process of chasing the truth of spells. Although they turn around and around, they can only stop outside the exit.

Talent is really important to a mage... The Harbell family is the second type of people: although the talent is good, they just can't reach the top.

Fran and Hill are not the kind of mages who have been bound by the magic net for a lifetime. They have been on the road of studying the power of law from the beginning, which is the original power of Toril, so they don't understand Toril mages. madness.

But they can also understand the unscrupulous practices of these mages in pursuit of the truth... Insufficient strength can rely on the accumulation of time, but it will always be the greatest harm to mages if they can't see the way forward.

It's just that people like Hill and Fran will choose to grit their teeth and rush forward. If there is a cliff in front of them, they will jump off to have a look.

Even if the shortcut is short, it is at least the way.

Hill thought of the book sent by the Hubbell family: "It is impossible for the Hubbell family to pin their future on the stolen things. After all, those who get those things must stay away from the Northland... Liszt, Tell Lynn to be on guard against Chang'an Town.

I don't want to jump out of the next door one day..."

"Sir! Please shut up!" Liszt said quickly, preventing Hill from thinking, "Please don't raise the flag casually... Every time you don't, it will become a reality."

Hill looked coldly at his overly honest Taling: "Liszt, shut up."

Fran laughed out loud, a look of reminiscence on his face... probably thinking of the time when Hill encountered the first crisis in his life... Basically Hill's long-winded words before the incident 'Probably not' has become a reality.

"It's not the devil that is related to the Harbell family." Selûne suddenly picked up the words ahead, "It's the Lady of Pain in Sigil.

It's just that the Toril people have called Sigil the city of devils for many years, so there is such a misunderstanding.

But they may have imprisoned something underground in their own castle... The gods don't know whether it is a devil or a demon, but the gods generally don't care about this kind of self-seeking death. "

　Nucleic acid every day, queuing up every day, so annoying~~~~
The founder of "Under the Mountain", Hailast Black Robe, is a powerful mage, but he is also a completely delirious old lunatic.He is proficient in cutting gems, engineering, and controlling extraterrestrial monsters (living or undead).His eccentric performance is that he often giggles and mutters alone, and he can't keep his head clear for a long time when talking or arguing with others.However, Hylast's insanity has never affected his feeling of threat-if he is in danger, he will take immediate action.

Hylast possesses countless treasures and magic items, and when he is in charge of "Under the Mountain", he can summon constructs for him to drive.Hylast is also able to cast triggers, create clones of himself, and create a host of traps down the mountain—including "moving portals" that allow him or others to quickly enter and be teleported.When he was "under the mountain", Helast seldom behaved normally, but once he returned to the surface, he appeared to be clear-headed: meticulous, careful, dignified, calm and rational.He will remember those who have been favored by others, and he will teach him a lesson when he is arrogant and rude.Hailast uses his own way to get everything he wants, regardless of the price he needs to pay.

The greatest joy of Helast Black Robe is to collect all rare monsters and magic items.Thousands of years later, nothing is considered "novelty" to him, and he uses his unique means and way of ruling to please himself by hunting novelties.
