Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 143 Arrogant Mage

"Roar! Flesh!" The three frost giants tore apart the gates of the Ice Crystal Castle. They originally followed the master's order to subdue the old white dragon, but when they got here, they found nothing but a lot of dragon blood. When the frost giants smashed the ground with their big sticks angrily, they found that there was an ice and snow castle beside them.

The three of them discussed it and decided to have a full stomach before going back to accept the master's punishment, so they decided to break into the castle, catch the creatures inside and eat them.

Suddenly, a fireball technique fell from the sky and hit one of the frost giants precisely. A strong flame erupted, and the burned frost giant screamed and wiped the ice and snow on its body non-stop.

Standing in the sky, the black-robed mage saw that one fireball technique was not destroyed, so he pointed again, and three consecutive fireball techniques were born from his fingertips and shot out.

The frost giant, who managed to extinguish the flames on his body, discovered the attack from the sky. He watched the stingy jumping feet in the sky, and quickly activated the magic-like ability [Stone Wall] three times a day. A huge stone wall fell on the frost giant. Standing upright in front of his face, three fireballs hit the stone wall and sent out a violent explosion.

"Bang bang bang!" The shock wave emitted by the fireball technique hit the stone wall like a giant hammer, but the hard stone wall remained unmoved, only a few cracks were exposed.

It was interesting for Imrik to look at the distraught frost giants. His magical hands stretched out from his sleeves again, and the figures of several creatures appeared in front of the frost giants in an instant.

[Summon the Injustice Hunter], [Summon the Brani Angel], [Summon the Mastiff Angel].

A centaur-like mechanical creature with smooth skin and golden armor appeared on the spot. This Injustice Hunter from the ultimate lawful plane [Mechanical Realm] led the remaining two angels from the heavens to charge towards the frost giant.

"Roar! The summoned creature! It's not tasty!" the frost giant growled impatiently. He knew that once he killed these creatures, they would just disappear like light, without giving him a chance to eat them.

【Fossil is mud】, 【Fossil is mud】, 【Fossil is mud】.
Taking advantage of the fight between the frost giant and the angel, Imrik cast several five-ring spells [fossil into mud] in succession. This spell can turn the stone ground into a mud-like swamp, and a large number of stones under the feet of the frost giant and the angel were crushed. Divided into cement, devouring their heavy bodies.

【Turn mud into stone】, 【Turn mud into stone】, 【Turn mud into stone】.
Several opposite five-ring spells turned all the mud around the frost giants into hard stones. These frost giants struggled hard, but even with their strong physical strength, they would not be able to escape from the hard ground for a while. .

Looking at the few frost giants with only one head exposed, Imrik pointed to the sky, and a blue ray shot at the clouds in the sky. In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, and a huge dark cloud appeared above the frost giant. overhead.

Five-ring druid magic - call thunderstorm.

This spell is an advanced version of [Summoning Thunder], and its power is even greater. Twelve thunderbolts are continuously slashed from the air like the sword of Damocles. Compared with [Summoning Thunder], the power of this spell is close to the real one. The volts of lightning in nature, the heads of the three frost giants were scorched black by the thunder of the electric snake's wild dance.

Imrik flew down from the sky, and was surprised to find that these frost giants were still alive. Although they were weak, there was still a trace of breath. Drizzt, who had been watching the show for a long time, came up and said in shock: "My God, Is the vitality of the frost giant so strong, they are not dead."

Imrik threw a [cure serious injury] at one of the frost giants, and asked the awakened frost giant with [suggestion], "Tell me, what are you doing here, you idiot."

The frost giant growled and said: "I'm not stupid! My master asked us to subdue that white dragon and let it join the master's army, but we couldn't find it, and wanted to have a full meal before going back. So Dun attacked here."

Imrik's heart moved, [Read Thoughts] told him that in the frost giant's heart, this master is a very powerful spellcaster, most likely a high-level mage, he used spells to control a large number of monster tribes to serve him, and organized a army.

Imrik told Drizzt what he had discovered, and the dark elf said solemnly: "Why build an army of monsters, Imrik, I'm worried that this mage wants to harm Icewind Dale."

Imrik shook his head. He didn't know the opponent's purpose, but it was normal for a senior mage to take back some monsters as his subordinates. The only difference was that the opponent seemed to recruit more monsters.

"Listen to me, Drizzt, don't meddle in this matter, a powerful senior mage is by no means easy to deal with, I even saw the other party cast eight-ring spells in the memory of this frost giant! We don't know what the other party wants to do. I know, it’s better to wait and see.”

Imrik coaxed Drizzt out, he didn't want to be out of nowhere with a powerful mage.

Drizzt sighed and said, "I'm indeed in subjective consciousness, but I promise, if he wants to do anything that endangers the people of Icewind Dale, I will definitely stop him!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled lightly and said, "I don't want to do this anymore, let's go to Bruno first."

Imrik nodded. He planned to set off with Drizzt. He hadn't seen that old-fashioned old dwarf for a long time. I heard that Bruno was the patriarch of a dwarf clan. Maybe he could establish a trading relationship with them and buy Some armor weapons to equip your own undead army.

Deep in the Spine of the World.

"Bilin, take your people away!" The wizard commanded the frost giant standing in front of him in the hall where the throne was located in the Magic Crystal Tower. "Remember that you represent Akar Kessell's army. You are the first to go to this area, and secrecy is the key to our victory! Don't mess it up! I will monitor your every move."

"We won't mess it up, master," replied the giant. "We will prepare a place for you to come!"

"I trust you," Kessell assured, looking at the goofy frost giant. "Let's go now!"

The frost giant held up a blanket-covered mirror Kessell had given him, bowed one last time to his master, and walked out of the room.

"You shouldn't have sent them," hissed Errtu, the ghastly daemon standing invisible by the throne for the duration of the conversation. "The subgiants and their frost giant leaders are easy to attract attention in a place full of humans and dwarves."

"Billing is a wise leader," Kessell retorted loudly, angry at the demon's rudeness. "The giant is cunning enough, those armies will not be found!"

"But humans should be better suited for the task, as Clinshinibon told you."

"I'm the boss!" Kessell yelled angrily.He took the Crystal Shard from his robes and waved menacingly in front of Errtu, leaning forward to reinforce the threat.

"Crinshinibon can only give advice, but in the end it is up to me to decide! Don't forget where you are now, powerful demon. I am the ruler of the Crystal Shard, and I will not tolerate your interference with me any step of the way!"

The narrow-minded wizard couldn't stand the demon's sarcasm advising himself that I am the master of this army!Master of the Crystal Shard!

Errtu's blood-red eyes narrowed dangerously, and Kessell straightened his body back on the throne at this moment. He regretted whether his attitude was too strong, and reconsidered the right and wrong of threatening this demon.But Errtu calmed down quickly, willing to put up with the small inconvenience of Kessell's stupid rage for the long-term benefit.

"Crinshinibon has existed since the dawn of the world, from the beginning of the world," said the Demon in a raspy voice, drawing his final conclusion. "It has caused a thousand battles many times larger than you planned, and you should rely on its advice a little more."

Kessell twitched nervously. The Crystal Shard had indeed suggested that he send humans so he could control the entire area in one fell swoop.

He could make up a dozen reasons for himself to send the giants, but in fact he sent Billin and his gang just to show the Crystal Shard and the impudent demons that his orders were unbreakable, not to get military benefits. The advantages.

"When I think Crenshinibon's advice is appropriate, I will do so," he said casually to Errtu, taking another crystal from one of the many pockets of the ornate robes he wore, It was a copy of the Crenshinibon he had used in building the tower.

"Take this to the proper place for the ritual of building the tower," he instructed. "When everything is ready, I will come to you through the mirror door."

"You already have a magic crystal tower, and now you want to build another?" Errtu retorted loudly. "Magic crystal shards will consume a lot of power!"

"Shut up!" Kessell ordered, his emaciated body shaking with rage again at the demon's disobedience.

"Let me do it now! Let the Crystal Shards worry about other things!"

Errtu took the copy of the Crystal Shard and bowed deeply to Kessell.Without saying a word, the demon walked out of the room slowly.

It knows Kessell is just stupid trying to show his control over the Crystal Shard even with an ill-advised strategy, this stupid lucky guy doesn't have the skills or experience to fight the battle, but the Crystal Shard still supports it he.

Errtu once secretly suggested to the Crystal Shard that it should get rid of Kessell and make himself the new ruler.But Duclin Shinnibon refused.The cunning artifact knew he couldn't control the mighty demon as easily as Kessell.

At the same time, the giant's servant outside came in to announce the arrival of the new guest to his master. Kessell narrowed his eyes and waved his hand in a disinterested manner, telling the giant to bring him in.

Outside the door, a strong barbarian walked into the iron gate of the black tower with great momentum, pushing away the disgusting troll guards with a threatening roar.

He hated this place where the magic was built, and once decided to ignore the call from the tower that suddenly appeared, but in the end he couldn't resist the call from the owner of the Magic Crystal Tower. Lin Shande] The terrifying mage outside the city is average, no, even more terrifying, he still surrendered for his own people.

Yes, Hisstaff, the fearsome leader of the barbarians survived Drizzt's mortal blow, leading the remaining barbarians through the tundra.

Heafsta hated the wizard, and by any barbarian standards, Akar Kessell was a weakling who could only do tricks and summon demons to do things that should be done with muscle, but Heafsta hated more , the fact that he had to bow his proud head because he could not refute the power of this wizard over them.

Akar Kessell's reception room is located on the second floor of the Magic Crystal Tower. The barbarian king opened the bead curtain at the door of the reception room. The wizard is reclining on a huge silk pillow in the center of the room, his nails painted with black nail polish. Her long nails were impatiently tapping on the armrest of the throne, and several naked female slaves whose minds had been destroyed by the magic crystal shards were waiting for every order of the magic crystal ruler's whim.

Heafstar was outraged to see girls being enslaved by such a skinny creature.It wasn't the first time he wanted to rush forward and smash his big ax on the wizard's head.

But he couldn't do it, he knew that the only ending for him to rush over was to be torn apart by the violent magic.

"You came too late." Kessell said calmly. "Actually, you should have come earlier. Many of our troops have assembled, and the first reconnaissance team has already set off."

He leaned forward to emphasize the point of what he was about to say, and said with a wicked snicker, "If I can't find someone in my plans for you, then I don't need you at all."

The fearless barbarian looked at the mage without a trace of fear on his face.

"Come, strong king," said the mage softly, "sit down and share the riches that are on my table."

Heafstar clings to his pride, and still doesn't budge.

"Very good!" Kessell snapped, clenched his fists, and gave his life. The power of magic poured out of the crystal shard under the mage's will.

"To whom do you owe your allegiance?" he asked.

Heafsta stood firm, all muscles tensed, as if he was fighting against an invisible force.

"To Acar Kessell!" he replied, though his own stomach was queasy.

"Tell me again, who rules those tribes in the tundra?"

"They all listen to me," replied Heafstar, "and I listen to Akar Kessell. Akar Kessell rules all the tribes of the Tundra!"

The wizard let go of his fist, and the slackening of the mind caused the barbarian king to fall back a step.

"I don't like doing this to you," he rubbed his black nails with a smirk, "Don't make me do it again."

He took a scroll from behind the satin pillow and dropped it on the floor. "Sit in front of me," he ordered Heafstad.

The barbarian came to his master and opened the parchment, on which was a place he was very familiar with, his nightmare.

That's a map of Ten Towns.

　The war is about to begin, and the evil Crystal Shard needs the protagonist's training.
