Mithril Throne of Forgotten Realms

After such a back and forth, and with a steady stream of players joining the battle, the mind flayer's front line was getting tighter and tighter, and they lost their strongholds at the gate and the square behind the gate one after another.

You know, those who were killed were all mind flayers. If they were in the surface world, these monsters were all rare monsters of at least level 30+. How could the things dropped after being killed be worse?

All kinds of high-level blue and purple outfits. If you are lucky, you may even pick up weapons and jewelry. Such things are usually rare, and they are usually rare items that can only be obtained by fighting small bosses or doing high-level tasks.

It's like a powerful catalyst!The heavy loss not only didn't cool down the enthusiasm of the players, but instead aroused people's bloodthirsty and ruthless instincts-- isn't Nima Ma just an npc monster?Isn't he just a mind flayer with higher intelligence!

Damn, I have to chop you up and teach you how to be a man every minute!

The turbulent crowd has already occupied more than half of the square, and it is still slowly moving forward.

On the side of the mind flayer, there are still a large number of controlled slaves at the front line, while the octopus head with flying tentacles hides far away, stepping forward to cast a spell from time to time.

"Bah... bang!"

Another fireball landed in the mind flayer's team. The shock wave from the explosion easily tore a hole in the enemy's team. The nearby players immediately rushed forward, hiding behind them thoughtfully, and quickly lowered their heads. Picking up equipment dropped by players or mind flayers; those with red eyes howled and rushed to the nearest enemy.

However, compared to the noisy players, the Mind Flayer's team was a bit strangely quiet.Except for the occasional cry when injured, both the mind flayers and their slaves kept their mouths tightly shut and kept silent, making people feel chills all over their bodies.

If there are players who are familiar with the habits of mind flayers, or if Atona is here, as soon as they see this situation, they can immediately tell that there must be a leader hidden in the team of mind flayers, at least a small boss level Advanced npc!

As far as everyone knows, it is the most advanced mind flayer that appeared in the Mithril vein.Undoubtedly it was the mind flayer elder in the Stone Forest Devil's Den.

Maybe it's hiding in a corner somewhere.Watching this extremely tragic battle with a pair of dead eyes, as for why this guy didn't show up... that's very interesting.

……

Atona, who was watching Fang Yi unlock the lock, did not expect that Fang Yi would suddenly let out a strange scream, and was so frightened that her little face turned pale!The female sword master habitually stretched her hand behind her back to draw her sword.It turned out to be empty.Only then did he realize that his unique weapon was no longer there.Then he reached for the scimitar at his waist.

But at this time, Fang Yi had already made a move.

Fang Yi aligned Jenna's ring with the keyhole the first time he realized that the situation on the other side was different. The level 0 spell freezing ray is instantly activated!

"Pfft!" There was a clear sound, and a light blue light as thin as a hair had passed through the keyhole and shot to the opposite side.

"Hiss... ah!..."

A sound like the neighing of a poisonous snake passed through the door, followed by a scream that made those who heard it sad and those who saw it cry.Fang Yi's hands kept moving, and he directly pulled open the heavy stone door, while holding Atona with the other hand and sprinting behind the door.

"Buzz!"

The familiar buzzing sound came again, it was the whistling sound of the mind flayer's unique mind explosion!It's just that Fang Yi and Atona have already hid behind the stone gate, and the shock wave of the blast of the mind swept out from the gate, but they just passed by them, without any effect.

As soon as the effect of the spell disappeared, Fang Yi rushed out from behind the door, moving as nimbly as a monkey, picked up the scimitar, ran towards the mind flayer's head and covered his face!

"Damn it! How dare you scare me!? I'll kill you! I hate horror movies the most! I'll kill you bastard!!"

Fang Yi, who had entered a berserk state, seemed to be charged with electricity, and knocked the mind flayer to the ground like chopping melons and vegetables.How could the poor octopus head think that he could meet the enemy here, without even a protective magic and psionic shield on his body.

First, one eye was crippled by Fang Yi's spell, and then he wasted his life-saving mind blast in a panic, instead of choosing to put a protective spell on himself in the first place.

And now, it's just a dead octopus head.

Atona stared dumbfoundedly at the "unrecognizable" Mind Flayer lying on the ground, her face full of incredulity - just now she wanted to activate special abilities to check and balance the mind flayer's mind magic...

Is that the end?

"You...you hacked it to death?"

Atona kicked the monster lying on the ground, still unable to digest the shock in her heart, "He just died like this? This is a mind flayer..."

"Tch, what's wrong with the mind flayer? Even if it's a giant dragon, if you dare to scare me, I'll turn it over every day!"

The anger in Fang Yi's heart was still there, and he kicked the mind flayer in frustration: "To put it bluntly, these guys are actually a group of difficult warlocks, and my small body can't hold me twice."

Even if Fang Yi said so, Atona still couldn't believe it.

For a long time, the inhabitants of the Underdark have formed a fixed thinking-mind flayers are as difficult to defeat as beholders.If you want to fight them, you can only turn to high-level mages.These evil creatures will play with your mind and steal your emotions and weaknesses.

The best option to see them is to run away.

Naturally, Fang Yi couldn't explain it to Atona. Fang Yi has seen even the most disgusting monster in the game. Not long ago, he also saw an adult red dragon in the underground world. Yi didn't feel awe at all.

If you encounter it, just chop it up. Are you afraid that he won't bully you?joke.

However, this sudden encounter with the Mind Flayer also made Fang Yi more vigilant. This shows that he has already reached the core area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion. If it is not blocked by this thick stone gate, plus himself and Atona Be careful with your actions, maybe the one who strikes first will become a mind flayer, and you will be the one lying on the ground.

The mind flayer's drops are as generous as ever, not to mention dozens of gold coins, but even a 28+ excellent long sword!The attributes of the long sword may not be better than the scimitar on Atona's body, but it is better in size, which is more suitable for Atona's fighting style.

Women, like long and big, understandable.

But what surprised Fang Yi the most was not this, but another thing dropped by the octopus head - a silver-white key.

The key is very thin, as if it was cut directly from a thin metal sheet. One side is smooth, and the other side is uneven, with many irregular metal protrusions. At first glance, the first impression is that this thing is a certain item a part of.

It looks familiar... Fang Yi blinked for a moment, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he slapped his head suddenly and remembered: Isn't this key... the same as the one dropped by the mind flayer before?

Thinking of this, Fang Yi hurriedly opened the backpack for a while, and finally found the key in one of the sundries storage items.

Sure enough, the two keys were stacked together, and the fit was perfect. At this time, the explanatory text on the unknown key also changed.

"The Lost Key (23)

A key lost by a careless stable keeper was picked up by passers-by entering and leaving the Santo's Mansion.

Special item: used to open the treasure chest hidden somewhere in the Santo's Mansion. "

Is it still a combination item?

The difficulty of obtaining items determines the rarity of items, which is an eternal truth in the game.It took so much trouble to divide a key into two halves and hide it in such a cave as the City Lord's Mansion. If it was a treasure chest, the quality would definitely not be too bad.

It's just that there are more important things to do now, and I don't have time to search for treasure chests...

Fang Yi curled his lips, could only shake his head regretfully, temporarily put away the key, and then called Atona to move on.

……

This underground area has been transformed into an underground fortress-style building, surrounded by stone bricks several feet thick, and the joints between the bricks have been poured with molten iron, and the seal is very dense, extending all the way to the stone wall above the head. The walls of the City Lord's Mansion on the surface are connected together.

Thinking about it, when the dwarves mined Mithril, the place was not very peaceful. Otherwise, the entire Lake City would not have built a castle fortress, and the City Lord's Mansion, which is the core area, would not have built such fortifications underground.

There were a few guards inside the building, and their combat power was very limited. The two easily resolved it without any effort. Under the leadership of Atona, they soon came to the exit to the surface.

"I don't know what's going on outside,"

Standing in front of the heavy stone gate, Atona told Fang Yi what to pay attention to for a while, "Father didn't allow us to go to the city lord's mansion before, and the furthest we have played in this underground mine was a few times."

"What about the approximate location of the core cornerstone room?" Fang Yi asked with a little expectation, still holding a trace of fantasy.

"I don't know..." Atona spread her hands, breaking Fang Yi's last bit of fluke, and finally added, "Besides, my stealth skills are not very good..."

"That's okay, the mind flayer's large army must have gone to the frontal battlefield, we just need to guard against the shapeshifting monsters hiding in the dark," Fang Yi said confidently, and Atona also felt a sense of inexplicable confidence.

……

The City Lord's Mansion is generally divided into two parts, the front and the back. The front is the administrative hall, and the back is the towering and majestic building complex where the City Lord's Mansion is located. However, both places are surrounded by a wall, and there is basically no difference from the outside.

However, although the battle at the front door and the back door was fierce, it could not stop the omnipotent players from sneaking into the compound.

For example, over the wall.

Right now, there are a dozen scattered players avoiding the fierce battlefield, jumping over the wall into the City Lord's Mansion from a relatively remote corner. (to be continued..)
