The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

"Shadowheart, you don't have to keep calling me Paladin."

"Why? I thought that paladins all like to be respected. In this profession, you always like to lead by example and set an example. You are always great, bright, and correct, aren't you?"

"Because I am a monk who became a monk on the way. My profession is a magician, a mystic scholar who studies the mysteries of external gods."

"Oh - well, mystical scholar, can you tell me, you have been looking at the strange magic circle on this mountain wall for a long time, and have you discovered any secrets?"

Not far from where the shell ship crashed, there was an abandoned ancient building at the bottom of the riverbank cliff. There were probably some good things hidden here, such as gold coins and jewelry.

It's just that the door is sealed and cannot be entered. None of them has a lock picking tool, so they can only leave it alone for the time being.

There is a striking luminous pattern on the mountain wall next to the gate of the ancient ruins. Complex magic runes and geometric lines are intertwined into an array, and a purple magical aura is emanating from it.

Shadow Heart was the first to discover this rune circle. But she couldn't see the purpose of the magic circle.

Linde saw the door.

"The thing you put on someone else's doorstep is a short-distance teleportation rune. Come on, let's all leave a mark so that we can teleport and move through magic rituals."

"Teleportation rune? Who stayed in this barren mountain?"

"It seems to be the work of elves and gnomes. It must have been thousands of years ago. I remember that the gnomes in history escaped from the slavery of the Netheril Empire and relied on the teleportation array to migrate. Some gnomes did immigrate to the Sword Coast area. Yes, these teleportation runes are the remnants of that time, and they have been maintained and improved later."

"Ancient magic is no surprise in Faerûn. But is it really still reliable?"

"Quite reliable. However, it's not uncommon for a poor caster to crash the teleportation channel."

Ying Xin smiled. She could hear the self-control in Linde's calm tone, which meant that he would never be stuck in the transmission channel.

"I really want to know what will happen if the transmission channel collapses."

"It depends on the situation. Most of the time, the teleportation channel disappears, and the teleporter will randomly wander to other planes. Unless the lucky lady Tymora comes to a plane with a gentle nature, it will be the difference between dying early and dying late."

"Is there someone stuck in the transmission channel?"

"Well, it's not impossible, but people can't be so unlucky, right?"

"Haha, that's right."

The two chatted and laughed as they advanced along the mountain path, entered the wreckage of the shell ship, and killed a few brain-eating monsters that were lucky enough to survive.

It is worth mentioning that the brain-eating monster child named "us" has disappeared, perhaps dead.

Linde felt that the power of the magic contract was growing again. He needed more killings to nourish the magic contract, but he had to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, otherwise he would break the paladin's oath.

The power of a paladin can be increased by doing good deeds, fulfilling duties, fulfilling obligations, and other actions that meet the expectations of the oath.

It can be said that he can now gain strength from it whether he is killing people or saving people.

Although Linde's situation is a special case, I still want to praise you: the combination of warlock and paladin, you are so powerful!

The shell ship fell to pieces, with meat-like corpses everywhere, but they still found a dying Mind Flayer in the bow room.

This species can levitate with the power of its mind and is indeed invulnerable to death. It can be called the king of Ferunni.

The moment they see the Mind Flayer, the tadpoles in their brains are like pugs seeing their master, pouring out endless desire to please, so that the Mind Flayer's sticky skin and sinister eyes change in the eyes of the infected. Gotta be cute.

Ying Xin showed a disgusted expression, as if her butt was touched by a baboon. She asked Linde creepily: "You didn't feel it too, did you?"

"Love, of course. This is the mind flayer's psychic ability tampering with our cognition." Linde said, "Isn't this setting found in many Sansu literary and artistic works? A man who is proficient in seduction control magic. The caster seduces an innocent girl, while the boyfriend of the other party can only watch helplessly as the woman he loves throws herself into her arms. This kind of book is a best-seller in Waterdeep City."

Ying Xin smiled knowingly, "Ha, that's true. I didn't expect a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to read this kind of book."

"It's my patients who like to read three secular books before going to bed. They often just can't fall asleep."

Lind explained casually, then stepped forward and crushed the mind flayer's octopus head.

"In the name of pure love for Paladin, the minotaur will die!"

After completely clearing the shell ship, Linde led the team through the wreckage and continued climbing. He prepared to overlook the panoramic view from a high place, hoping to find the settlement of local people.

"Hey! You guys! Come here, I need help!"

Suddenly someone asked for help and followed the sound.

There was a mind flayer pouch scattered on the hillside, and a handsome elf with white hair and white skin called out to Linde and the two.

"What help do you need?" Linde asked. He looked up and down at the white-haired man as he approached. He was really very pale, his lips were bloodless, his hair was like dull silver threads, his clothes were gorgeous and flamboyant, and he had an aristocratic temperament. .

Most high elves are transcendent, but this person appears to be feminine and mysterious.

The pale elf pointed to the thick grass on the roadside, "I saw a long-legged brain running in. It's right there, you can see it if you get closer."

As soon as he finished speaking, the grass shook. Under their deafening silent gaze, a big wild boar jumped out and ran away quickly.

Shadow Heart suddenly shouted: "Be careful."

Be careful about what? Of course not the wild boar, but the elf asking for help.

This man quietly took out his dagger and prepared to hold Linde hostage. The so-called request for help was just a temporary trap. Fortunately, Ying Xin was very observant and raised the alarm.

Lind jumped sideways to avoid the hold of the elf. There was no anger in his expression. He just said: "It is not a good habit to take a knife from someone's back, but considering that you are a rogue, it is not surprising. Now, Elf, you owe me an explanation."

"Ah, my dear, don't be nervous." A gentle flattery appeared on the pale elf's handsome face, and his tone and voice were even lower and gentler.

Before he finished speaking, the mind flayer tadpole had an attack.

The thrill of the soul enveloped them, and once again, they penetrated each other's hearts.

Linde saw the busy city streets, and the owner of these eyes was hiding in the gutter and silently observing the pedestrians, cautious, eager, and fearful.

"What's going on?" The elf cried, covering his forehead, "I seem to see a medicine shop. Is that your memory?"

"Psychic link, it seems you also have mind flayer tadpoles in your mind." Linde and Shadow Heart looked at each other, "You need help, just like us. If not treated in time, these tadpoles will turn us all into mind flayers. , a soulless monster."

"That's terrible... My name is Asdalen, and I was captured by those monsters at Baldur's Gate. I'm so sorry, I almost wanted to disembowel you just now."

"It's a good thing to be vigilant. I never expect everyone to treat me with respect and sweet words as soon as they meet. They all have to be exchanged with sincerity. I am Linde, who was captured in Waterdeep City. This is Miss Shadow Heart. . We are all in this world, so why not go together?"

"Of course, I couldn't be more honored. Please lead the way." (End of Chapter)
