From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Strong liquor and adversity always make people willing to open up.

Although Ivy didn't know the name of the tiefling waiter in front of him, who was wearing the uniform of the Treasure Academy, he could already share many of his inner thoughts.

"People always talk about Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter and Waterdeep, but they know nothing about the Holy City of Eltoril!" The tiefling waiter burped in dissatisfaction.

"Holy City? Since it is called the Holy City, there must be something magical about your hometown, right?" Ivy asked curiously. He was somewhat familiar with the name of this city, because the tiefling NPCs in the game often said things like "Eltoril has fallen."

"Do you know the Land of Death?" The tiefling waiter did not answer Ivy's question directly, but asked another question.

But Ivy heard a kind of boasting in his tone. This means that the tiefling in front of him has begun to answer Ivy's questions.

"Land of Death?" Ivy cooperated with a puzzled expression.

Tieflin answered very satisfiedly: "It is an area shrouded in shadows all day long. Countless terrible monsters and ghosts rush out of the darkness, posing a huge threat to the surrounding villages and cities! My hometown, Eltoril, is located on the edge of the Chongsa River, close to the Land of Death."

"So, all kinds of undead creatures often run out of the Land of Death, threatening the safety of Eltoril?" Ivy could already understand what Tieflin meant.

"That's right." Tieflin stuffed a piece of fried crispy eel into his mouth, and the sound of bread crumbs colliding with the devil's fangs sounded with his voice, "So Eltoril gathered the church of the Three Gods of Justice, and many priests who were willing to sacrifice for justice gathered together to save the city from the shadow of the Land of Death."

"I'm afraid Eltoril is called a holy city, not just because of the church of the Three Gods of Justice?" Ivy asked tentatively. He was not very familiar with who the Three Gods of Justice were, because these three guys did not make a big deal in Baldur's Gate like the Three Gods of Death. However, he did know a god related to the sun named Lathander. His blood was made into a divine artifact, a mace, which was stored in a ruined monastery, which later became a breeding room for the Githyanki. I wonder if Lathander is one of the three gods of justice, or is he an ally of them?

"You are right!" Tieflin raised a finger and gestured in the air excitedly, "Because of another big event! In addition to various undead creatures in the Land of the Dead, portals to hell often appear, and countless demons are ready to fight against Eltoril. They are good at conspiracy and love to corrupt the nobles and powerful social people in the city!"

"Because of an accident, people discovered that the Supreme Warlord of Eltoril is a vampire! And that vampire has organized a large army composed entirely of vampire spawn and other servant species, intending to capture Eltoril in one fell swoop." Tieflin's saliva flew everywhere, as if he could really see the huge evil army outside the city.

Vampire spawn, another familiar term.

Ivy did not interrupt again, but quietly waited for the tiefling to reveal the mystery of the holy city.

"...At the critical moment, Tavis Craig, a priest, prayed loudly to the god he served, and his god actually responded to him! A new and powerful sun appeared above Eltoril, and the golden sunlight instantly burned the vampire and his derivative to ashes. The army outside the city lost its commander, and Eltoril and the people of the city survived!" Tiefling shouted almost fanatically.

Although Ivy still had doubts, he raised his glass in a very appropriate manner: "Cheers to the golden sunshine!"

"Or you could say, to Companion Sun!" Tieflin laughed and corrected Ivy's name, "We call the new sun 'Companion Sun' because it always accompanies the Holy City."

"Always? You mean, the magic effect lasted for a long time?" Ivy caught the meaning of Tieflin's words, "So, Eltoril became the 'Holy City' in people's minds because of the existence of 'Companion Sun'?"

"That's not a magic effect." Tieflin shook his head very seriously, "That's a real miracle!"

The enthusiasm on his face didn't seem fake, but Ivy couldn't help but He reminded him: "You go to the most prestigious school in the multiverse, but you firmly believe that the magic sun is a miracle?"

The tiefling wanted to refute, but the various spell effects flying around in the tavern discouraged him: "The gods of Faerun are... different... Although there are always wizards who have blasphemous ideas, as far as I know, there is only one successful person, and he was killed by his own stupid actions at the moment of becoming a god... In short, if we are still in Faerun, I would advise you not to make trouble with the gods..."

Ivy saw the struggle of the tiefling in front of him, because in the Akaivivo time and space, many magical phenomena cannot be explained or replicated by gods, such as the Strijhaven magic vortex under the Maodian Pavilion. Therefore, he did not intend to continue the discussion about gods and companions with the tiefling in front of him, but changed the question: "Tell me how you became a spellcaster? How did you get here? Toril is far away from here, right?"

"I am a warlock, wild magic warlock." Everyone in S Cui Haiwen has his own magic. Talk to a caster about his best magic. It should be the best topic in this magic university. It's right.

"Wild Magic?" Avi felt ridiculous. Because Tivin's special features come from the devil's blood in their bodies, and the devil is a creature that is naturally willing to pursue evil order, and the devil that is completely chaotic and evil is on a natural opposition.

As one of the origin of the warlock's surgical method, wild magic means the chaotic magic energy that is completely opposite to the power of order. It may originate from the blessing of the chaos, or the blessings of spermatic creatures, or a demon with a powerful magic. Curse. But as a dicklin with the blood of the devil, the awakening wild magic almost meant to betray his origin.

"It's strange, right? In fact, after the first revealing of my magic talent, it caused a big wave in the Toflin group of the Holy City, mainly because my uncontrolled magic triggered a fire. "Toflin shrugged his shoulder, showing a helpless expression. Perhaps until now, he didn't understand why he became a wild magic warlock.

"The Hell Cavaliers did not investigate the crime of accidentally burning the grass of their mounts. Instead, I asked me to use magic to play for them. To be honest, my parents and I couldn't do that." Tidelin bit another bite and blew up. Eel, "In short, the Hell Cavaliers sent me to the candleburgon's Toflin master Hilvila Savikas. Promoting and revelation, otherwise I will return to Eltorier for a long time. "

"So you have nothing to find in the same family?" Avi was unfamiliar with Hilvila Savikas in Toflin, at least not as familiar with her as well as Karlsas and Irminster.

"Not exactly." Tifillin explained that he wiped the sauce sticking to the corner of his mouth with his back. Full of books on outer planes, star and barren knowledge.

"Hilvila and the plane businessmen have some commercial exchanges. As a apprentice, I sometimes be sent to the inventory of the goods. In fact, just a few years ago, I was in cooperation with Hilvila a few years ago. Famous merchants went to the mark of the space in the outer space of Ferlan. But it is definitely more weird than here! Therefore, the knowledge of the portal is that every caster in that city must be carefully studied ... "

Speaking of which, Tifillin couldn't help but sigh: "And I am always not good at reading ..."

"So have you stepped into a wrong door at the wrong time?" Ai Wei couldn't help but enter Srihai to study because he entered the wrong portal. Maybe it was the largest turning point in his life experience.

"No ..." Tidelin's voice was low, "even more stupid than that ... I took Hilvila's goods into the void of the star ..."

"Master Tifillin wants a wild magic warlock to look at her goods? And there are no other followers and bodyguards?" If it wasn't for Tidolin, I would be sitting opposite him. Can't stand the scrutiny. "

Sitting on the opposite side of Avi seemed to be even more sluggish. He shrank into a ball on an oak chair, and his tone was erratic: "In fact, I was only responsible for carrying a piece of goods, and I moved with the caravan ... but I can do it ... But There is a fault in the portal ... I obviously followed the plane businessmen into the portal. Who knows why I appeared in the middle of a barren asteroid belt next second ... "

"I was very scared at that time ... I was in a hurry in a silver mist, I don't know which direction to go ... The star world has no gravity at all, so you can’t distinguish it at all ... Fortunately, I can breathe there, I have to breathe, I have to breathe, I have to breathe, I have to breathe, I have to breathe, I have to breathe. Otherwise, I have to scare death alive! Eating and drinking water ... but still down -to -earth can make me feel at ease, if I just stay in the astrology just to die alone, then I might as well die ... "

Avi was very fascinated. Previously, he always focused on exchanging magic knowledge from the destruction of the magic code to enhance his personal strength, but he rarely paid attention to the planes and star knowledge of various diversified universe. Getting relevant knowledge is definitely a big event that is enough to broaden the horizon.

"How did you leave the barren asteroid?" Ivey interrupted Tidflin's feelings. He couldn't wait to hear the bizarre story.

"Because of the mining ship of the Iwate Mining Company." Tifillin did not make mystery, and gave his answer generously.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

"Someone is engaged in the mining industry in Xinghai. Their headquarters is a place called Rock City?" In a short conversation, Avi has heard many unfamiliar place names.

"I don't know, because I've never been to Rock City." Tieflin sighed again, "The one who mined the mining ship was an automatic dwarf, a mechanical creature made by the Rock City dwarfs to imitate themselves, and similar to the gear library administrators in the libraries of Strixhaven. They saved me only because I was a spellcaster. To be honest, that was the first time I felt fortunate to be a spellcaster, and I was also fortunate that I didn't tell them that I was a warlock, and the kind of warlock who couldn't control my magic."

"Why do you say that?" Ivy asked as a matter of course.

"Because in the astral world, people need to rely on thinking to move. The smarter the person, the faster they can move, and those ships that can sail in the astral world also need spellcasters to operate them to get enough power."

The answer is self-evident.

The main attribute of a warlock's spellcasting is charm, which means that there are not many smart guys among them, and the tieflin in front of him is definitely not one of them.

Tieflin shook the empty bottle and opened another one for himself: "Unfortunately, I haven't even remembered the name of the automatic dwarf captain yet, and the accident happened again..."

"You...did you encounter Githyanki pirates?" Ivy remembered what Kemina said when she introduced how students in the multiverse arrived at Aqavivo.

"How did you know?" Tieflin widened his eyes, "Is this already known to everyone?"

"I'm more curious about how you survived, because as far as I know, Githyanki never leave anyone alive after looting. They were slaves of the Mind Flayers for a long time, so they never intended to replicate the success and failure of the Mind Flayer Empire." Ivy asked.

"Oh..." Tieflin showed an unspeakable shame on his face, but under the influence of alcohol, he still said the reason, "Because they didn't treat me as a human...When the battle happened, I also planned to use magic to help, but my magic got out of control again, and I turned myself into a sheep..."

This is definitely a masterpiece of wild magic.

"There's not much to say about what happened afterwards... The Githyanki were not wary of a sheep, so I hid in the warehouse of the mining ship, staying with a pile of ore... until the Githyanki launched a second raid and were defeated by an armed merchant ship heading to Strijhaven... So I came to Aqavivo and passed the entrance exam..." The tiefling in front of him said the last sentence and fell asleep on the plate with only some sauce left.

In the end, Ivy still didn't know the name of this tiefling. But since he worked at the Archend Tavern, Ivy would definitely see him next time he came. After handing him over to the orc store manager, Ivy ended his first day in Strijhaven with satisfaction.
