"[Swift Preparation], [Light Extinguishing Technique], [Secondary Spider Form], [Spider Form], [Advanced Spider Form], [Spider Elf Form], [Magic Recoil], [Shadow Veil]
, [Double Shadow], [Terror Devouring]... The dark elves who have lived in the Underdark for more than 10,000 years have indeed created some quite interesting magic."
After Zuo Si flipped through two spell books, a playful expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Among these spells, [Swift Preparation for War] allows the subject to obtain a small amount of information about the enemy and be fully prepared for the upcoming battle.
[Light Extinguishing] can extinguish any non-magical light source, creating the most favorable combat environment for Drow who like to launch sneak attacks in the dark.
The three spider forms can turn the caster into medium, large and giant purgatory spiders respectively. Just like turning into a spider elf, they are very suitable for the underground world with complex environment.
[Magic Recoil] can cause the enemy who is releasing a spell to suffer backlash damage in an instant. The higher the level of the spell released, the greater the damage.
[Shadow Veil] allows Drow who are afraid of bright light to cover themselves with darkness, which can not only protect them from blindness and weakness caused by strong light, but also provide a certain concealment effect.
[Double Shadow] creates a hazy phantom similar to yourself to attack the enemy. If the opponent believes it to be true, then this spell will cause corresponding mental damage and may even lead to mental death.
[Terror Devouring] is basically equivalent to creating a gelatinous monster to devour the target, causing it to die of suffocation or strong acid corrosion.
Perhaps because of their dark skin and strong magic resistance, the original spells of dark elves are generally biased towards the transformation system, the conjuration system, the prophecy system and the illusion system. There is basically no enchantment system or evocation system.<
/p>
Especially [Magic Repulse], which does not require any spells at all and can be released to the enemy who is casting the spell with just one gesture.
If it is a high-level spell, the backlash damage caused may even interrupt concentration, causing the enemy to fail to cast the spell.
It is simply the most practical type of magic in spell duels.
And it only takes a second-level spell to memorize it.
"What, are these two spell books valuable?" Dwarf Luger asked enthusiastically.
Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "Of course. If nothing else, they can all be sold for more than 10,000 gold coins. But I suggest that it is best to take them to the Tower of Order to participate in the weekly auction. The unique ones among them
There should be some high-level mages interested in these dark elf spells, so they can pay a lot of money to buy them."
"Hehe! I understand this. Those high-level mages don't care how much money they have to spend to get what they are interested in." The dwarf grinned with a sly smile.
"How much have we earned from this adventure so far?"
The poet Kers also came over at some point, his eyes glowing green like a wolf.
"If those dark elves' equipment didn't depreciate, it would cost more than hundreds of thousands of gold coins."
The dwarf roughly calculated the loot harvested along the way and quickly gave a relatively conservative number.
No way.
After all, it is difficult to accurately estimate loot before it is actually sold.
Because the buyer is very likely to give a much higher price than the original price of the item for their own reasons, or deliberately suppress the price, resulting in the adventurer being able to sell it at half price.
"A hundred thousand? Damn it! So we are going to make a fortune this time!"
Kers excitedly performed the classic "fly rubbing his hands" action, as if he had seen himself holding a large sum of money to seduce all the married ladies he had targeted before.
As a well-known scholar in Faerûn sarcastically said, many bards are a group of "cattle" who think with their lower bodies.
Among them, the men are either showing their "virility" in bed, or they are on their way to the next bed.
Women are also either seducing someone they are interested in or looking for their next prey.
Seeing Kers's expression of being unable to support the wall with mud, the dwarf immediately rolled his eyes: "Don't think too much. More than half of the money belongs to Soth. Because he contributed the most to the adventure, and more than once he let
The team saved the day, so it’s natural to take the big prize. As for you... you still owe more than 5,000 gold coins in foreign debt plus interest and haven’t paid it off last time."
"Ah! You didn't mention it and I forgot about it! Oh my god! Doesn't that mean I won't get much money at all?"
The poet's mood fell from heaven to hell in an instant.
Although he is considered a high-level adventurer, due to his chaotic hobbies and private life, he has been relying on foreign debts to live, and the monthly interest rate is as high as 30% or more.
In other words, in a place like Faerun, any loan is 100% usury with compound interest.
Unless the business is in trouble or life is really unbearable, no one would want to bear such a heavy debt.
"Camilla the Viper is saying harsh words. If you can't pay back the money within three weeks, she will send someone to take you to her shop to sell your butt. It is said that some people in Waterdeep City have special hobbies.
The wealthy businessman is already eager to give it a try. So I suggest you don't think about defaulting on the loan or running away, otherwise the consequences will be very, very serious." Cora, the halfling, reminded her pretending to be kind.
"Okay, okay, why don't I pay off the debt as soon as I get the share?"
Kelsi was obviously frightened and couldn't help but cover his buttocks and shudder.
Seeing his appearance, the two "bad friends" the dwarf and the halfling immediately laughed loudly, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
But soon, Zuo Si brought the topic back and asked directly: "How much do you know about the situation on the eleventh floor?"
"Eleventh floor?"
Luger stroked the thick beard on his chin and thought for a moment, then quickly replied: "I just heard Dunan mention that the eleventh floor of the underground maze is mainly occupied by a large number of troglodytes.
There are also dark elves who try to capture them and use them as slaves and cannon fodder.
The latter is most likely the Avand family that we met before.
In addition, there are trolls that feed on troglodytes and a green-footed dragon snake.
But that was several years ago, and no one knows if anything has changed now."
As we all know, the monster passages in Leyline Labyrinth are not static.
Quite the opposite!
Whether it is the mad mage Halaster Blackrobe, his apprentices, or invaders from the depths of the Underdark, all levels will undergo drastic changes every once in a while.
This also means that all intelligence and information about Leyline Maze City is often time-sensitive.
Any information that is more than one or two years old can only be used as a reference.
If you really prepare as described above, you probably won’t even know how you died.
In addition, starting from the eighth to ninth floors underground, portals and transmission devices leading to other levels will be hidden in some inconspicuous corners.
If touched accidentally, a living person will be transported from one familiar level to another completely unfamiliar level in minutes.
Since prophecy magic is prohibited, the person being teleported cannot reach his current location and depth at all.
"It doesn't sound like there's much danger. Why don't we take a short rest and set off as soon as possible to finish this floor within four hours." Zuo Si glanced at the passage leading to the eleventh floor and suggested.
The dwarf nodded quickly: "No problem! I'll listen to you."
You don't need to ask to know that because of his outstanding performance and keen judgment along the way, Zuo Si has completely won the 100% trust of his teammates.
Ruger would immediately adopt any suggestion he put forward without saying a word.
In this way, the team rested near the entrance for about half an hour.
When his physical strength was almost restored, he stood up and entered the next level.
As expected, everyone entered the eleventh floor and didn't go far before they found an outpost built by the dark elves, which housed nearly two dozen captured troglodytes.
On the gate of the outpost, hangs the coat of arms symbolizing the Avand family.
No hesitation!
Zuo Si directly used the same trick again, first using [Deep Darkness] to completely plunge the outpost into darkness.
Immediately afterwards, stones blessed with silence were used, causing the entire area to fall silent.
Finally, the Shadow Legion attacks, killing all the dark elves and troglodytes inside without leaving a single one behind.
Because neither of these two races is good.
The so-called troglodyte is actually a kind of lizard that is about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall, intelligent and walks upright.
Just like the name, they are a group of naturally savage, cruel and reckless guys who will regard all creatures, including their own kind, as a source of food.
So Zuo Si had no psychological burden when killing.
After the battle was over, the attentive halfling Cora found some gem-encrusted badges, rings and ceremonial daggers from the corpse.
It is estimated to be worth more than two thousand gold coins.
In addition, there are four or five boxes containing weapons, equipment, crossbows and bottled poisons that have not yet been distributed, as well as military rations specially made by the dark elves.
You don't need to ask to know that these things are supplies prepared for patrols and hunting teams.
To be continued...
