Casting spells

In short, when the giant dragon woke up from a deep sleep again, the madness and destructive aura all over his body disappeared, replaced by an extremely cold temperament.

It took a full half a minute before a strange smile appeared on his ferocious face, and then he muttered to himself: "Icewind Dale? The Forgotten Kingdom? The Continent of Faerun? The Five Heroes of Mithril? And the famous The magic crystal shard—Clinshinibon? I really came to an incredible place..."

Obviously, after unremitting efforts, Zhang Cheng finally temporarily suppressed the monstrous negative emotions in Neltharion's tears and the remaining whispers of the ancient god N'Zoth.

However, this does not mean that he has defeated the endless crazy thoughts, on the contrary, he is being continuously eroded, whether it is the way of thinking or subconsciousness, they are constantly sliding towards the abyss of extreme evil.

If anyone casts a detect alignment spell at this moment, he will immediately see his red to black, black to purple color.

The demons from the Nine Hells and the Bottomless Abyss will probably bow down when they see it.

By cleaning up the remaining memories that originally belonged to Bailong in his mind, Zhang Cheng quickly figured out the identity of the unlucky guy whose body was occupied by him.

White Dragon - Ingrocastimichilian!

It also has another title - Ice Death!

That's right!

This was the one who should have been slain by Wulfgar, the barbarian hero, and Drizzt, the dark elf ranger, to provide him with riches and magical weapons.

It was precisely because of killing Icedeath that Wulfgar was qualified to challenge the chieftain of the Elk tribe, unite the barbarians under his banner, and fight against the army of monsters raised by the crystal shard.

Similarly, it was from Icedeath that he obtained a magic scimitar named "Icedeath" that Drizzt could defeat the powerful demon from the bottomless abyss—Ertu.

But now, due to Zhang Cheng's sudden intrusion, everything was disrupted.

Now he is eager to know how far this war started by the Shard of Magic Crystal has progressed. If he doesn't interfere, will Ten Towns be destroyed?

If he changed the historical course of Faerun Continent, would those high gods notice it?

If they were aware of it, would they intervene?

A series of questions quickly popped up in my mind.

With the idea of ​​figuring out the status quo first, Zhang Cheng quickly used the natural shape-shifting ability of dragons to transform himself into a human appearance, and roughly scanned the most valuable things in the Ice Death Nest, such as various magic items, Gems and a few gold coins, and then quickly leave this cave on the edge of a large glacier.

As for the remaining treasures piled up like mountains, he didn't care whether they would be stolen by humans or other white dragons.

After all, he is not a dragon, and his desire for knowledge and power far exceeds wealth.

In any case, as a place where magic is relatively developed, Faerun is one of the very few worlds with a theoretical system comparable to that of Azeroth, whether it is the floating city of the ancient Netheril civilization and the killing of gods. Magic, or the space gate technology and magic creation technology of the Imascar Empire that broke through the sky, are all coveted.

Not to mention the race of creators who created the "Netheril Scrolls"...

Chapter 4 Nineteen Camps

In 1356 of the valley calendar, two major events occurred in the ancient continent of Faerun. One was that Lashan of Scar Valley attempted to unify the valley, but failed. pause.The other is that someone witnessed the dragon flying into the valley and the sea of ​​​​the moon.

As for what happened to the ten towns at the junction of northern civilization and wilderness, no one cared at all.

Anyway, in the eyes of most people, Ten Towns is almost a group of losers. Only those who have been completely abandoned by the whole world will choose to live there.

They have no idea that a puppet manipulated by the magic crystal shatter, an artifact with independent thinking—Akar Kessell, is leading an evil army composed of goblins, half-giants, giants, trolls, orcs and humans, towards the... Ten towns mighty blonde.

He vowed to crush all forces who dared to resist his rule, be crowned as the tyrant of Icewind Valley, and take the first step to conquer the world.

Of course, the most important thing is that this army also has an insidious, vicious and cunning commander, a Balor at the top of the food chain in the abyss—Ertu.

Bryn Shander, the most powerful of the ten towns in the Northland, is currently busy receiving and reorganizing the residents who fled from other towns.

Anyone standing on the top of the hills in the middle of the tundra between the three lakes could clearly see the towns of Kekkoni and Kedineva engulfed in flames in the distance.

Countless goblins from the frozen wastelands had rushed into the walls, slaughtering the old, the weak, women and children with impunity, while ogres and giants blocked the docks and killed any fishermen who tried to come from the lake to rescue them.

fierce!

brutal!

No mercy!

Crystal Shard——Clinshiniporn has proved with practical actions that he is worthy of being one of the most terrifying artifacts in the entire Faerun continent.

Under its bewilderment, even the cowardly and cowardly goblins will become brave, and the most betrayal orcs will become loyal.

In less than two and a half hours, all the towns along the entire lake of Duerden fell.

Any form of resistance is futile and ridiculous in the face of the endless monster army...

Looking at those ordinary people who were killed or even eaten, Zhang Cheng didn't have a trace of sympathy or pity on his face. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Okay, what else?" It's time to choose a side. Should I choose good this time, or should I choose evil?"

Undoubtedly, with the excellent flying ability of the dragon, it took him almost no time to cross the endless frozen wasteland, and entered Ten Towns in human form before the arrival of the monster army.

No one knows right now that a terrifying force capable of turning the tide of battle is lurking in Bryn Shander.

Although Zhang Cheng has lost most of his powers including evil energy and shadow at this moment, let alone using the powerful hole card of demon transformation, the two professional templates of Mage and Dark Guardian have been preserved intact. Coupled with the innate breathing ability of dragons, the number is nothing at all, it is just a matter of spraying two more dragon breaths.

The only regret is that due to the intervention of the goddess of magic, all the magical energy in the entire continent of Faerun is dominated by a special system called the magic net. Anyone who wants to extract energy to form a spell must complete a ceremony called touching the net, so It is currently impossible to cast any spells learned from Dalaran.

To put it simply, if you want to cast spells in Faerun, you must first register your real name in the magic net of the goddess of magic, and then you must follow the rules of the magic net system. The magic net, and finally achieve the purpose of improving one's own spellcasting level.

This also means that all spellcasters in this world are essentially monitored and controlled by the goddess of magic. Once the goddess forbids a certain unlucky person from touching the net, he will immediately lose most of his ability to release magic, and even Even gods are no exception.

But everything has a good side and a bad side. The good side is that under the precise energy control of the magic net, the caster can often greatly increase the number of spells cast without weakening the power and coverage of the spell.

Of course, in addition to the original magic net of the goddess of magic, there is also a little-known shadow magic net in Faerun Continent, which was created by the goddess of the night Shar.

But this goddess is not a good thing either. Anyone who uses the magic net of shadows for a long time will suffer great mental damage.

All in all, if Zhang Cheng wants to restore the mage's ability and study the world's profound magic knowledge, he must choose between the real magic net and the shadow magic net.

As for the awakening of the innate magic talent that occupies the body, I am afraid that it is impossible without decades or hundreds of years of effort.

After all, the white dragon is one of the five-colored evil dragons in Faerun...

No, it should be said to be the most rubbish and useless of all dragons.

Compared with the intelligence and cunning of the same kind, the behavior of the white dragon is undoubtedly closer to that of a wild beast, especially before adulthood, it can only rely on its strong body to fight against the enemy, and it is not good at using its brain at all. Awakening magic talent, otherwise Bingdean would not be easily killed by two pure fighters.

Fortunately, due to absorbing the pure energy contained in Neltharion's tears, Zhang Cheng is no longer a white dragon in the ordinary sense.

To be exact, he was not too clear about his current state, so he didn't dare to hold the net-touching ceremony lightly, at least not before reading the world's unique magic theory.

But as we all know, Ten Towns is the boundary between civilization and wildness. Not to mention the expensive mage tower, it is difficult to see even a decent mage here.

It just so happens that the puppet dominated by the Crystal Shard—Akar Kessell—happens to be a sorcerer's apprentice from Luskan, the city of a thousand sails. He must have several books on basic theories in his hand.

Thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on Zhang Cheng's face involuntarily, and he sighed softly: "As expected, I am more suitable for the evil camp..."
