A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

"An abandoned temple to Moradin, Father of the Dwarves? In Leymaze!"

Looking at the four-meter-high rock statue standing in the cave, Zuo Si showed a very surprised expression.

Because he really couldn't figure out who would build a temple in such a place.

With the character of the mad mage Halaster Blackrobe, it is 100% impossible to build anything like a temple.

In other words, as a remnant of the Imaskar Empire, he was born to be like the great arcane masters of Netheril, who had no good impression of creatures like gods.

What's more, Moradin is the main god of the dwarves and has nothing to do with humans.

"This was originally the residence of an ancient dwarf tribe. But before the mad mage arrived, they had no idea whether they had moved to other places, or they all died under the siege of the dark elves and gray dwarves. This temple in front of you, It should be what they built and left behind. In short, with the blessing of the Dwarf Father, this is one of the few safe places to rest in the entire Leyline Maze City."

As Luger spoke, he knelt down on one knee to express his respect to the main god of the dwarf pantheon, and then took out the bedroll from the backpack behind him and spread it on the ground.

The other two people did the same thing, and they looked like they were quite skilled adventurers.

For most adventurers, it is normal for them to often live in the wilderness or even in underground caves.

In order to keep themselves warm and sleep more comfortably, they usually pack a sleeping bag, blanket or bedroll in their large backpack.

Then just like now, find a relatively flat ground, simply clean up the rocks, and go straight up to sleep.

However, the attentive halfling thief Cora noticed that Zuo Si and Davian did not have these things.

Just when she was about to show off her style and give up her bedroll, she turned around and suddenly saw a scene that made her stunned and unbelievable.

At some point, the Dragonborn Knight took out a large number of iron frames, leather, cloth and other things from the huge pocket on his back, and then assembled them together with extremely skilled movements.

In the end, a gorgeous tent covering almost half of the temple was erected.

Not just tents!

There are actually simple wooden beds, tables, chairs and bedding inside, as well as a stove for making fire for cooking.

Next to the stove are filled with charcoal and a large amount of fresh meat, vegetables, fruits and melons.

"Are you...are you here for vacation?"

After watching it for a long time, Korra couldn't help raising her voice and asked.

She couldn't believe it at all. The two guys in front of her actually used expensive large dimensional bags to pack not only a large tent, but also countless daily necessities.

It has nothing to do with the traditional adventure life.

"Vacation? No, of course not. This is how we camp in the wild on weekdays. After all, whether it is fighting or traveling, it is a very consuming physical and energy task. Only by eating well and sleeping well can we recover quickly."

While Zuo Si was talking, some water came into the pot, and then he threw the chopped chicken, mushrooms and potatoes into the pot and stewed it.

Since [Magic Trick] can slightly adjust the taste of food, tasks like stewing soup and cooking are usually done by him himself.

After all, all arcane spellcasters are natural chefs.

As long as they are willing, they can cook a delicious soup or delicious dishes at any time.

"But this is a bit too exaggerated!"

The poet Kels also noticed the tent that suddenly appeared out of thin air, and immediately twitched the corner of his mouth and complained.

In contrast, the dwarf Luger was quite receptive to this. He sat down at the dining table, picked up the cup, filled himself with wine, raised his head and drank it all, smacking his lips and saying with a smile: "I think Not bad. With hot meals, who wants to nibble on those hard breads, biscuits, jerky and beans. By the way! Korra, you go out and be on guard, don't let goblins, dark elves and other monsters smell the food The scent comes in."

"No need. I have set a magic trap at the door. If an enemy approaches, a harsh sound will be made immediately as an alarm."

Zuo Si stopped the halfling thief who got up and was about to walk out.

Because this hidden temple has only one entrance, and it is very, very narrow.

Unless the incoming earth element creature has the ability to freely shuttle through the strata, it is basically impossible to launch a surprise attack.

What's more, the Shadow Legion has been lurking in the invisible darkness around them. If there is any disturbance within a few kilometers, Zuo Si will get the news as soon as possible.

"Sounds like I'm finally going to get a good night's sleep."

Korra first yawned lazily, then raised her arms and stretched, staring directly at the food in the pot.

Like all halflings, she is a "lazy" and "greedy" at heart.

If you are not still young and still long for adventure and fortune in your heart, you will probably lose shape in a few years due to gluttony and lack of exercise, and you will become as small as Chef Welby of Ascaltra. Fatty.

As for the dwarf and the poet, they took advantage of the time before the meal and quickly drank an entire bottle of "spirits" with an alcohol content of about 30 degrees.

Especially the former. After drinking so much wine on an empty stomach, he didn't even feel drunk at all. Instead, he was still looking around to see if there was a second bottle.

As we all know, in order to relieve the fatigue and stress of the journey, almost every adventurer is an alcoholic.

The dwarf race as a whole is also addicted to alcohol.

Many dwarf tribes living in caves and mines trade with outside human towns and the three most purchased items are nothing more than grain, salt and wine.

So when a dwarf becomes an adventurer, he becomes a mobile barrel.

Given the opportunity, they will drink wherever they want until their bellies are full and they can drink no more.

But Zuo Si obviously wouldn't provide unlimited alcoholic beverages to a dwarf in Leyline City.

When Ruger searched twice and found no wine bottle, he quickly gave up the search and lay down in front of the table waiting patiently for the meal.

After a while, as the soup in the pot began to boil, a rich aroma began to emit.

Simply sprinkle a little salt and seasonings, and then use the [magic trick] to add a bit of spiciness, and a stew of chicken, mushrooms and potatoes is served to the table.

Zuo Si also carefully sprinkled a large amount of chopped green onions before serving the dish. The rich aroma of green onions made those waiting for the meal start to inhale through their noses involuntarily.

He, who has always been a germaphobe, served himself a portion first, and then threw the whole pot of food to others to toss with.

As expected, these experienced adventurers ate as if they were grabbing food, and they didn’t use any utensils at all, just stuffing it into their mouths with cooking spoons.

One person fills his own mouth and then passes it to the next person.

An impatient dwarf will even grab it with his hands.

If he ate in the same pot with these guys who were completely unhygienic, Zuo Si was afraid that he would explode on the spot.

The meal finally came to an end when the full pot of food was completely eaten and everyone had eaten an average of two or three pieces of bread.

The halfling Korra took the endless kettle and took the initiative to take on the work of washing dishes and pots.

After eating, Davian lay directly on the hard bed and fell asleep.

He was too tired to go to his usual vigil.

Zuo Si, as usual, took out a spell book before going to bed and began to study the spells copied above.

Although I have learned a lot along the way, compared to the huge and astonishing number of types of arcane magic, these are probably not even one-third.

And with the deepening of the understanding of metamagic techniques, "spell powerful" and "spell extremely effective" can finally be used in actual combat.

The function of "strong" is to increase the maximum damage limit of a spell by 50%, while "extremely effective" ensures that the maximum theoretical damage limit can be reached after the spell is released.

Considering Zuo Si's current spellcasting level, the highest level is only fifth-level spell slots and divine spell slots.

Therefore, the spell's powerful effect is obviously more cost-effective than the spell's ultimate effect.

So he decisively decided to memorize a powerful fireball spell to test its power after he got up from sleep.

After about an hour or so, Zuo Si, who had learned a new spell, finally closed the book and started to rest.

It may be because the location of this dwarf temple is too remote, or it may be that all the goblins, dark elves and monsters were killed by the shadow army ambushing at the door.

Anyway, the team members were not disturbed in any way while they were sleeping.

Everyone who woke up ate a simple breakfast on the spot, and after waiting for the two spellcasters in the team to prepare their spells, they packed up their things and continued to move deeper into the Maze of Earth.

After killing all the hobgoblin tribe blocking the entrance to the lower level, the third level finally appeared in front of them.

It is different from the dry environment of the first two floors, which are either caves or mazes.

This poor place is filled with puddles and even pools of varying depths.

And it's not fresh water, but sea water full of fishy smell and salty taste.

There are also sea hags and sea trolls hiding under some pools waiting for an opportunity to attack.

The former possesses many powerful spell-like abilities, so if one is accidentally stared at by those eyes full of evil power, he will fall into a trance in minutes and see tragic future scenes or doomsday scenes. In the end, He fell into a deep coma and even died on the spot.

The dwarf, who always likes to be at the front to explore the way for his teammates, was caught and glared at by the sea hag just now, but was saved by Zuo Si's magic.

Otherwise, he would probably sink to the bottom of the water and drown alive.

"Damn it! I hate water! I hate sea water even more!" Luger complained in a low voice through gritted teeth.

Because the dwarf's legs are relatively short, he is often immersed in water from the neck down. Whether his pants, clothes or shoes become wet, he feels extremely uncomfortable.

In addition, he almost had a close encounter with an extremely ugly sea hag just now, which made his mood extremely bad.

Seeing that the dwarf was deflated, the poet immediately took the opportunity to laugh and said: "It's not because you usually eat too much that you are seriously overweight. Otherwise, you can just sit on Davian's shoulders like Cora."

"Shut up! If I hear another word coming out of your mouth, I will use an ax to pry out your teeth one by one." Luger threatened fiercely.

"Come on. If you really hate these seawaters, why don't you go to Skull Harbor? You can even take a boat from there to quickly pass through the third and fourth floors and directly reach the fifth floor." Kers rolled his eyes angrily.

"I know the answer to that!"

Cora, who was sitting on Davian's shoulder, suppressed a smile and interjected.

"Asshole! You promised me to keep it a secret!"

The dwarf immediately became anxious when he saw this, and jumped up desperately to pull the halfling thief down, and then blocked his mouth.

Unfortunately, compared to the dexterous Korra, his movements were too slow.

The halfling simply jumped from the left shoulder of the dragonborn knight to the right shoulder, easily avoiding the dwarf, and then announced bluntly: "Do you know? The reason why Ruger never goes to Skull Harbor is actually because he is more afraid of taking a boat.

When he was young, he once took a merchant ship from Waterdeep to Baldur's Gate.

As a result, there was a storm on the way and he fell from the deck into the sea. He drifted with a wooden barrel for seven or eight days.

Since then, he vowed never to set foot on a ship again. "

"Pfft hahahaha! Oh my God! So this is the reason why you never go to Skull Harbor?" The poet suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ahhh! Korra! I'm going to kill you!"

The dwarf, whose dark history was uncovered and "died" in public, instantly became furious.

I have to say that having a few playful teammates around you who are very friendly can indeed make a boring journey a lot more interesting.

Since he has the elect ability [Walk on Water], Zuo Si always steps on the water and watches the show that is going on with interest.

And his army of shadows had already spread out, clearly detecting the dangers around them.

Some of the larger groups were even massacred mercilessly.

After walking a little more than two floors, the number of the Shadow Legion expanded again.

I don’t know if the mad mage will cause trouble after learning that all the monsters he managed to get were killed.

However, Zuo Si obviously didn't care about this and harvested a large amount of mana unscrupulously.

And use these overflowing mana values ​​to continuously produce various arcane and divine cards.

After more than seven hours of arduous march, the team finally passed through a cave completely submerged by sea water and reached the fourth level of Leyline Maze City.

But just after emerging from the water, before they had time to take a breath, everyone saw a group of Kuo Tao fishmen standing on the shore staring at them.

The two sides stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes for ten seconds. The Kuo Tao man immediately reacted, raised his fork and javelin and threw them at them.

"Gan! Hurry and dive to hide!"

The dwarf couldn't help but cursed, and then got into the water again.

Because of the huge buoyancy of the sea water, the forks and javelins thrown at them could not penetrate deeper than a few meters before they completely lost their lethality.

However, Zuo Si and Davian did not dive.

Just the opposite!

Zuo Si directly used the card to give the Dragonborn Knight a three-ring magic [Walk on Water].

The two of them just stood above the sea water.

Davian raised his shield in front of his master, intercepting all the forks and javelins falling from the sky.

Zuo Si, on the other hand, entered a state of concentration on spellcasting without any distractions.

In the blink of an eye, a fireball equipped with a super magic skill - a powerful spell, flew straight to the place where the Kuo Tao fish people were densest on the shore.

The next second...

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Along with the hair-raising explosion and white fire, all the fish-men within a radius of six meters were evaporated in an instant.

When the fire light dissipated, only a few blackened ashes remained on the ground.

Such a terrifying sight directly caused the Kuo Tao fishmen, who had been aggressively attacking one second, to fall into stunned silence the next second.

Because they are not those murlocs with low intelligence in the world of Azeroth who can only scream and rush forward in a swarm, but a very ancient aquatic intelligent race.

Long before the rise of human civilization, the Kuo-Toa worshiped the demon lord on the 89th floor of the bottomless abyss, Dagon, the "King of the Deep Sea", and built undersea cities one after another.

However, with the rise of the shark-turned-fishmen, they were slowly slaughtered bit by bit.

They can only find new habitats near shallow seas or even coastal land.

Among the Kuo Tao people who were killed by the fireball spell just now, there were two priests and tribal leaders, causing the entire tribe to lose its leader.

However, Zuo Si obviously had no intention of letting go of this group of "walking mana" and quickly completed the next spell with extremely fast movements.

He raised his hand and pointed gently towards the location of the Kuo Tao fishman tribe directly in front of him.

moment!

A large cloud of poisonous mist spread suddenly.

Almost all the unlucky ones who accidentally inhaled it died on the spot with bleeding from their mouths and noses in less than a second.

And those who were lucky enough not to be affected turned around and tried to escape without saying anything.

Obviously, this is the famous [Death Cloud Technique].

Seeing the Kuo Tao fishmen starting to flee like crazy, Zuo Si directly gave the order to the Shadow Army to kill them all.

Soon, they were chased and intercepted by countless shadows in every corner deep in the cave.

In the end, all of them were killed without exception, and then transformed into new shadows.

As the mana pool began to overflow again, Zuo Si immediately took the opportunity to upgrade four [Fireball] cards to one level and turned them into [Powerful Fireball].

You don't need to ask to know that he is quite satisfied with the power of the fireball that is blessed with powerful spells.

To outsiders, Leyline Maze, which is full of dangers and dangers, is like a huge treasure to planeswalkers.

Whether it is the monsters that can be turned into mana or cards that the "crazy mage" Halaster Blackrobe caught from nowhere, or the unknown magic network node in the lower area that can be made into land cards. It was what Zuo Si, a "newbie" planeswalker, needed most.

As the saying goes, "The mouth is short when eating people, and the hands are short when taking people."

Zuo Si thought that when he became stronger in the future, he might find a way to help Halaster Black Robe treat his madness, even as a way to repay the "selfless" help he provided.

Just as he was putting away the upgraded cards, the other three people who had dived underwater to avoid the attack finally couldn't hold their breath and came out one after another.

When he saw with his own eyes the corpses of Kuo-Tao fishmen strewn about on the shore, Kers, the only poet who knew arcane magic, immediately opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Death...Death Cloud Technique! Did you use five-ring magic?"

You must know that a mage who can cast five-ring spells must have at least a LV9 spellcasting level.

At this level, he has already half-stepped into the ranks of high-level spellcasters.

Such mages are definitely rare among adventurers.

With Zuo Si's still slightly immature appearance, becoming an Archmage in the future is a sure thing.

What's more, he is a priest himself.

"That's right! There are too many of these annoying guys, and they are very scattered. It is difficult for low-level spells to cover such a large area. Death Cloud Technique is the best choice." Zuo Si responded casually.

After all, poisonous gas magic such as Death Cloud Technique and Stinky Cloud Technique in reality are not like those in the game that only stay in one area.

Just the opposite!

It will spread around with the flow of air.

If Zuo Si had just added a [Wind Creation Technique] to blow the poisonous gas of the Death Cloud into the cave, then more than half of the Kuo-Toa who escaped would have been caught up by the poisonous cloud, and would have bled to death from their seven orifices.

But considering that the Shadow Legion is responsible for chasing and killing, and can also transform new shadows, naturally there is no need for that.

In fact, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the three temporary teammates, Zuo Si was always very restrained.

Except for using some trump cards when dealing with Warren, he basically didn't use the elector's abilities, and rarely used planeswalker cards.

"Good kill! These nasty Kuo-Toa fishmen are all followers of the Demon Lord. They kill many adventurers who enter the Lost City every year, and they all die innocently."

The dwarf obviously hated the Kuo-Toa fish people and spat hard at the corpse on the ground.

But immediately after, he squatted down and started rummaging through the corpse for valuables.

Especially all kinds of pearls.

Finally, I put them all into my backpack, and then moved on with satisfaction.

Compared with the third layer, the fourth layer obviously has more places soaked by sea water, and it often happens that several passages are completely filled with sea water.

If someone doesn't know the way, it would be almost impossible to find the right direction in the intricate underwater caves.

No wonder the poet said that you can reach the fifth level faster by rowing a boat directly from Skull Harbor.

Zuo Si could not imagine how much time and energy the "crazy mage" spent on building the Lost City.

This is no longer a huge project that can be completed in just a few hundred years, but has been started before the establishment of Waterdeep City, and has been continuously developed and constructed for more than a thousand years.

Just as everyone held their breath and swam forward along the underwater cave, a huge black shadow six or seven meters long suddenly flashed across the slightly turbid water in the distance.

The poet was startled immediately, and bubbles kept spraying out of his mouth.

But unfortunately, he couldn't speak in the water, so others didn't understand what he wanted to express.

Just a second later, the swimming dwarf suddenly stopped all movements, then turned around without warning, picked up his ax and slashed hard at the halfling thief.

Korra had no time to react, so she could only kick her short legs desperately to escape the opponent's attack range.

At this critical moment!

Davian rushed forward and, taking advantage of his longer arms, grabbed Luger's wrist and tried to control it by force.

But unfortunately, before the dwarf could be restrained, the bard next to him also became very uncomfortable, and rushed towards Zuo Si with his long sword.

But underwater, Zuo Si was not as powerless as others.

Before the opponent could get close, he directly used the magic card - [Bigby's Protective Palm].

moment!

An invisible big hand appeared out of thin air and blocked Kers several meters away. No matter how he attacked, he couldn't get any closer.

In less than a few seconds after the huge black shadow appeared, two people in the team suddenly attacked their companions like crazy. Anyone who is not a fool would know that something was wrong.

So the other three people didn't even hesitate and immediately started to float quickly.

Just when it was about to surface, the black shadow that had just disappeared reappeared again and passed overhead at an extremely fast speed, forcing everyone back underwater with its huge size.

But this time, Zuo Si saw the true face of the black shadow.

It was a giant fish creature that was almost six or seven meters in length and probably weighed more than three tons.

But what is different from ordinary fish is that it looks very ugly and weird, with a large area of ​​pink on its abdomen, three eyes on its head, and several strong tentacles extending around its body.

When this guy swims by, the smell of sea water will suddenly become very foul.

no doubt!

This is a terrifying aboleth fish!

An intelligent aquatic creature as old as this world, and the most terrifying of all enemies encountered in the water.

According to legend, they were born from the seeds dropped by the ancient evil sect Skaesesis, also known as the "Blood Queen" and "Mother of Monsters", who happened to visit at the beginning of this world.

Moreover, every aboleth will automatically gain the memory of its parents and even all its ancestors after birth, knowing how its own race was born and how the world evolved into what it is today through disaster after disaster.

It can even be said that the Aboleth is the living history recorder of the entire planet Toril.

Its huge amount of memory cannot be matched by any other race, not even the legendary dragon and the mind flayer mastermind.

They are truly immortal, having lived in the deep sea before most gods were born.

Not only can these powerful creatures easily control other creatures within a certain range around them, but they also possess psychic abilities similar to those of the mind flayers.

After realizing what the attacker was, Zuo Si's expression immediately became serious. Without saying a word, he took out two [Remove Curse] cards and liberated the two people who were enslaved by contact.

Immediately afterwards, he took out another [Level 5 Monster Summoning] card and without hesitation chose to summon a [Super Large Purgatory Shark].

In the blink of an eye, an underwater beast from Baator Hell emerged from the magic circle, and according to the summoner's will, directly attacked the aboleth.

After the aboleth discovered this, they immediately began to use psychic powers to create phantoms and illusions to deceive the infernal sharks.

In just ten seconds, the low-intelligence Purgatory Shark was manipulated by the other party.

But Zuo Si didn't expect that a mere creature summoned by five-ring magic could pose any threat to an aboleth. It was just used to buy time.

Taking advantage of this moment, the other four people in the team had surfaced and struggled to climb to the shore and out of danger.

When the aboleth finished taking care of the infernal sharks, they suddenly found that Zuo Si was the only one left. He immediately asked in a curious tone through telepathy: "Why didn't you escape?"

"Escape? Why should I escape?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully through the spiritual connection.

Since the elect has underwater breathing as part of his ability, he doesn't need to float up for air every once in a while like normal people do.

"Because if you don't escape, you will become my slave, or your skull will be pried open to read the memories in your brain."

Aboleth made no excuses and stated his plans straightforwardly.

They have no concept of "equality" and "harmonious coexistence" at all.

In the eyes of all aboleths, this world should originally belong to them.

All other intelligent life forms that were born later were pests that must be eliminated, or objects of enslavement.

If caught by an aboleth, the best outcome would be to be killed on the spot.

Otherwise, whether it is having the skull pried open to read the memories in the brain, or being turned into a controlled slave by spell-like abilities, life will definitely be worse than death.

"Hmph! You and your race are really as arrogant as the rumors say, and you don't even realize that the world has been permanently reshaped. Now, I give you two choices. One is to become mine obediently. Pet, the other is turning into a dead fish.”

As the last word blurted out, Zuo Si instantly released the divine power in his body, filling the waters with deadly viruses, bacteria and toxins.

In less than half a minute, all fish, shellfish, shrimps, crabs, algae, etc. within a radius of one or two kilometers were dead.

The densely packed fish carcasses floating on the water make one’s scalp numb after looking at them.

Similarly, the aboleth also felt the terrible changes in the water quality, and its body began to be covered with putrid sores.

The intense pain and discomfort made it first try to invade Zuo Si's brain, but as expected, it was blocked by divine power. Finally, it couldn't help but ask: "What on earth did you do?"

"It's simple! I filled these waters with viruses, bacteria, and the world's fastest-acting toxins.

Like I just said, your body is dying very quickly at this moment.

If you don't want to die, then don't resist and become my pet.

Otherwise, no matter you choose to escape or fight, there is only one final result, and that is to die painfully from disease and toxins.

In addition, I advise you not to try to control me anymore, because your ability does not work on me. "

After that, Zuo Si took out a blank card.

You must know that he is very interested in the ability of the aboleth to be infinitely stacked and transfer memories to future generations.

Because except for the aboleth, no other race on the continent of Faerûn has similar abilities.

"I choose to surrender! From now on, you are my master."

Realizing that he might really be killed by disease and toxins, the aboleth gave in decisively.

After all, this kind of creature is very precious about its life.

Almost no aboleth would give up his life easily.

And in their concept, being defeated and captured and becoming a slave is simply a matter of course.

"Very good! You made a wise choice. Don't resist now, I will seal you and take you away easily." Zuo Si deliberately used words to deceive the other party.

Because of the barrier formed by divine power, he didn't worry at all that his true thoughts would be detected by the other party.

In this way, without any resistance from the aboleth, Zuo Si successfully made it into a creature card.

[Creature Card: Abnormality—Aboleth]

[LV3 blue card (can be upgraded)]

[Card quality: rare]

[Effect: Summon an aboleth to serve the Planeswalker.

The creature has a host of spell-like abilities and psionic powers.

Slavery: Three times a day, you can control any creature within ten meters. The effect is equivalent to [Dominating Humans]. When the distance between the two sides exceeds one and a half kilometers, the enslaved people will break free.

Psychic powers that can be used at will: hypnotic pattern, illusion wall, mirage, resident phantom, preset phantom, projection, and mask.

Skin softening: The skin of any creature hit by the aboleth's tentacles may gradually become transparent and secrete mucus like an amphibian. Creatures in this state must keep their skin moist, otherwise they will suffer great pain until they die because they cannot maintain their body temperature.

Slime Cloud: Aboleth secretes a slime that coats its body. Any creature that accidentally inhales it will cause its respiratory system to lose the ability to breathe air for the next three hours. Once out of the water, they will suffocate and die.

In addition, the aboleth also possesses a huge memory that has been passed down from ancient times, which can help planeswalkers better understand the secrets hidden behind this world.

The aboleth will obey all orders you give until it is completely destroyed]

[You need to pay five blue mana points or five general mana points to use this card]

[When the Aboleth dies, the card will automatically enter the graveyard to wait for rebirth for three days]

There is no doubt that although this biological card is only LV3, the value it contains is probably the highest among all cards today.

Not to mention anything else, the memories and knowledge of the world passed down from generation to generation by the Aboleths from the birth of the entire race to the present may be worth several Candlekeep libraries.

At least there will never be any records in the Candlekeep library about the beginning of this world, before most of the gods came.

And after making it into a card, Zuo Si can safely and boldly dissect the aboleth repeatedly and study its physiological structure, especially the structure of the brain.

After recovering the viruses, bacteria and toxins scattered in the surrounding waters, he emerged from the water.

"Master! Are you okay?" Davian asked with concern.

Zuo Si wiped the water from his face and shook his head gently: "It's okay. But I never expected to encounter the aboleth in a place like this."

"What? Aboleth!"

The halfling Korra suddenly jumped up from the ground and exclaimed.

The poet next to him also shuddered and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! Why did I suddenly come under control? It turns out that the huge black shadow under the water is actually a terrifying monster like the aboleth. .”

Even the dwarves, who have always been bold, said with lingering fear: "If we can go back alive this time, we will be able to brag. After all, there are not many people who can survive the encounter with the aboleth."

"Yes! But the feeling of being controlled by the charm spell is terrible. I am still dizzy and feel sick." The poet slapped his chest hard with a pale face.

"Me too. Looks like we have to rest here for a while."

The dwarf raised the [Endless Kettle] and poured some water into his mouth, barely suppressing the strong feeling of nausea.

You don't need to ask to know that the uncomfortable reaction of these two people is the typical sequelae caused by being hit by enchantment (bewilderment and control) magic.

Yes!

The effects of this type of magic are not just immediate effects such as charm, hypnosis, immobilization, and emotional manipulation.

Moreover, after the magic fails, it will be accompanied by strong physical discomfort.

Among them, dizziness, dizziness, and nausea are relatively safe and low-level conditions.

In severe cases, it can even permanently damage the brain and memory, and then the whole person becomes crazy and unreasonable.

After more than an hour of repairing, the discomfort of the dwarf and the poet finally subsided a little.

At least you don’t have to worry about suddenly starting to vomit while diving.

So, the team set off again, diving into the water and traveling along the intricate caves.

I don’t know exactly how long it took.

Anyway, when the halfling thief Korra felt exhausted, the group finally left the fourth level, which was full of water, and officially entered a large underground forest full of various plants.

Seeing the light source above his head that was created by magic like a small sun, as well as the surrounding towering trees, growing shrubs and weeds, Zuo Si's first Hellaster Black Robe's madness was amplified. Clear perception.

You must know that this is an endless virgin forest built from scratch in the underground world!

The difficulty is so high that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary spell casters.

As for the eternal light source that looks like the sun above the head, it must be the effect of legendary magic.

And these forests have probably existed for at least four to five hundred years, and have long formed a stable ecosystem.

Occasionally, you can see small animals such as rabbits, foxes, and squirrels running by, and various birds stand on the branches and make chirping sounds.

If it weren't for the lack of sky and clouds above our heads, we might have forgotten that we were in the dangerous Earthline Lost City.

"This forest is simply a miracle!" Zuo Si sighed slightly.

The poet immediately agreed: "Yes. The five underground floors are a relatively safe place in the entire Earthline Maze City. This forest is managed by a female moon elf archdruid named Yueluo. Generally speaking, as long as other people do not If we encounter another green dragon, we are basically safe."

"Green dragon? Is there a dragon on this floor?" Zuo Si's eyes shone slightly.

Because in his opinion, most dragons that are not strong enough just give themselves money, equipment, and summoned creature cards.

"Hahahaha! I know what you are thinking. But the green dragon was captured by the mad mage, so there isn't much treasure in his lair. It's better to give up as soon as possible."

The dwarf clearly saw Zuo Si's intention and couldn't help but laugh.

To be precise, compared with the giant dragons outside, the dragons in the entire Earthline Maze City are generally relatively poor because there are few people to rob.

When they rushed back after all the hard work, they found that their lair had long been looted.

It is this strong uncertainty that makes many dragons give up their hobby of collecting treasures and begin to find ways to escape.

Some guys even don't hesitate to turn into humanoid creatures, and then join a passing adventure team and let the other party take them away from this ghost place.
