Chapter 208: The Mystery of the Netherese Scrolls(2/4)
Dwarf Luger stroked the dirty beard on his chin, and his whole body became relaxed.
"Yes! We have descended to the sixteenth floor this time. I am afraid that there is no other active adventure team in the entire Waterdeep City that can achieve this record."
The halfling Cora waved her little fist excitedly.
"I'm so exhausted! I just want to eat something, have a drink, and then quickly take a shower and go to bed." The poet complained with a sigh.
As the weakest member of the team, traveling with such high intensity and long hours is definitely a big challenge for him.
Due to being too exhausted, I couldn't even concentrate on casting spells when encountering a sudden battle on the last leg of the journey, and became a complete waste.
Fortunately, the monsters in the first few floors are not strong, and Luger and Davian can kill them all just like chopping melons and vegetables.
No hesitation!
Zuo Si went directly to the bottom of the well and pulled the hanging rope hard.
Soon, the people above began to try to pull up the people at the bottom of the shaft by dragging ropes.
However, Zuo Si obviously did not need this service, so he directly gave up his position to the poet and walked up on the air.
After a while, he and the latter appeared in the lobby of the tavern.
"Oh - my God! It's... it's Kels! Ruger's team is back safely!" An adventurer stood up suddenly and exclaimed loudly.
Another person next to him was dumbfounded and murmured to himself: "This... how is this possible! There was a violent earthquake in the Lost City of Earth, and since they disappeared for so many days, it should be impossible for them to survive."
"Hahahaha! I won! I won! Take out the money from the last bet!"
Another guy who was obviously a "fun guy" rushed to the bar, slapped the table hard, and laughed wildly at the boss.
Dunan smiled and shook his head, quickly took out a box specifically for gambling money from the cabinet behind him, and then pushed a mess of more than forty silver coins, copper coins and gold coins in front of the other party.
He was not surprised at all that this adventurous team returned safely.
Because the hotel owner knew that Zuo Si was a chosen one of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, and he was also a terrifying arcane spell caster.
So as long as you don't directly fight the "mad mage" Halaster Blackrobe himself, you can escape safely even if you encounter danger.
About three to five minutes later, the four people down the shaft were pulled up one after another.
Immediately afterwards, all the guests in the entire tavern surrounded them like stars holding the moon, and began to ask about the specific details and stories of this adventure.
For most adventurers, bragging about their experiences to others in a tavern and receiving applause and admiration is a very happy thing.
So whether they are dwarves, poets, or halfling thieves, while enjoying free food and drinks (other guests pay), they start to tell adventure stories that are half truthful, half false, and half exaggerated.
When he gets excited, he will even take out the trophies in his dimensional bag and show them to the people around him.
Since there are very few high-level adventurers who have the ability to enter the tenth floor of Earth Maze City, no one present could tell whether it was true or false.
But it is undeniable that most listeners are quite satisfied with these exciting and exciting stories.
There are also adventure teams that plan to go into the depths, so they should quickly record the things that need attention, so that they can be prepared when they encounter them.
But Zuo Si obviously didn't like this lively and noisy scene.
After briefly cleaning up his personal hygiene, he sat alone at the bar, eating the special dishes recommended by the hotel owner one bite at a time, with a calm smile on his face. He didn't look like someone who had just returned from the Lost City of Earth.
adventurer.
"Have you really entered the sixteenth floor of the crystal maze?" Dunan asked in an uncertain tone.
"Of course! I brought back a lot of souvenirs."
With that said, Zuo Si pulled out the "silver sword" and gently placed it on the table.
When the hotel owner saw it, his face suddenly changed. He shivered uncontrollably all over, and then cursed in a low voice in panic: "Damn it! You are simply a lunatic! Put this thing away quickly! I don't want those lucky things.
The Yankees chased me into my store."
It is well known that every true "silver sword" is worth a price to a Githyanki.
If it is lost, they will immediately send a team to recover it and kill all creatures that have come into contact with the "Silver Sword".
But Zuo Si waved his hand and comforted him nonchalantly: "Relax. I have blessed the [Covering Object] above, and now no prophecy magic can track its location. Not to mention it's just a few Githyanki.
That's all. I want to see how many casualties they suffer before they choose to give up."
Hearing that the magic that shielded detection was blessed, Dunan was visibly relieved and said with a wry smile: "Okay. I now believe that you have entered the sixteenth level. Because that's the only place where there are a large number of Githyanki.
Haunted. By the way, do you know anything about the sudden earthquake in Leyline City?"
"I don't know. I only know that the earthquake occurred suddenly and lasted for a short time, accompanied by violent fluctuations of magical energy. If nothing else, it should be the work of a mad mage." Zuo Si gave his judgment straightforwardly.<
/p>
"Then are there any obvious changes in the overall structure?" Dunan continued to ask.
Zuo Si took a sip of the juice in the cup to moisten his throat, and replied casually: "Yes, but it's not too big.
The only drastic change is the appearance of a vertical passage from the eleventh floor to the sixteenth floor.
If you are confident enough, you can jump directly and then use [Feather Fall Technique] to land safely.
What, are you worried that the monsters in the dungeon will riot and then all flood into Waterdeep City?"
"That's right. In fact, after the earthquake, the lords immediately held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. My mission is to collect as much information and intelligence as possible from the returning adventurers. But now it seems that the problem is not serious.
." Du Nan gently rubbed his eyebrows.
You know, he has been so worried these past few days that he hasn't even slept well.
I am afraid that when I open my eyes, I will see a dark elf assassin standing in front of my bed, or a terrifying monster such as a mind flayer or a beholder.
After all, every time the monsters in Leyline City get out of control, the first one to be unlucky is always the Yawning Gate Inn.
No way!
Who allowed this store to be built at the exit to Leyline Maze City?
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest first. Tell Ruger for me later, and leave all the spoils to him. After everything is sold, send the proceeds to me in Waterdeep City.
My residence is fine. By the way, you know where I live, right?" Zuo Si tried with a half-smile.
Dunan nodded calmly: "I know. In fact, a big shot like you who needs special attention has received special attention from the lords from the moment he arrived in Waterdeep City."
"Special attention? I think you should be particularly vigilant. Okay, the joke is over. I wish you a good dream tonight."
After saying this, Zuo Si took out a gold coin and put it on the table, stood up and walked out of the hotel door with the Dragonborn Knight.
It happens to be evening now, and the golden glow covers the entire city.
Although the ambient temperature has become very low, many scantily clad women can still be seen on the street soliciting customers.
Because for them, this is the last opportunity to make money before winter officially enters.
After the first snow falls, the area around Waterdeep will enter subzero temperatures.
By that time, no one will stay outdoors for a long time unless they want to freeze to death on the street.
When Zuo Si returned to the house he had just purchased not long ago, he immediately saw Isadora standing at the door with her face, hands and feet red from the cold.
The girl didn't even hesitate for a second, and rushed towards him like crazy, just hugging him.
"What's going on? Why don't you stay in the house?"
Zuo Si asked as he used Zero Ring Magic [Treat Minor Injuries] to treat the frostbite on the girl's hands and face.
"I miss you..."
Isadora's voice was as weak and low as a mosquito.
Huntington, the shooter on the side, saw this and immediately explained helplessly: "Master, she has been like this since the third day after you left. In addition to sleeping all day long, the first thing she did after waking up was to stand
We waited at the door until dark. The food was not very good, and the training of psychic abilities and learning of magic had almost completely stopped. I tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail."
Seeing the girl's pitiful look, Zuo Si felt a little headache. He stared into the girl's eyes and warned seriously: "Don't do this again next time, you know?"
"Hmm!"
Isadora nodded vigorously, and at the same time hugged her arms tighter, and did not let go until she finished eating and went to bed.
Regarding her unusually strong attachment and lack of security, Zuo Si obviously had no good solution and could only hope that time would slowly heal it.
After putting the "problem girl" to sleep, Zuo Si quickly took out the "Jingsi Volume" and the "Physical Fitness Manual", intending to finish reading these two magic books that can increase basic attributes.
After all, basic attributes are the most practical and will be directly reflected in all aspects of physical fitness.
For example, his physique has skyrocketed since he became a voter. Now that he has entered a state of concentration on spellcasting, he will basically not be affected by any external factors.
And with the blessing of divine power, even if you don't rest for several days and nights, your body will not feel tired.
Even if you use a knife to make a not very deep cut on your arm, it will heal on its own in about a minute.
What's more, physique represents the vitality of a creature.
The higher it is, the more damage it can withstand in combat and the harder it is to be killed by the enemy.
As for the "Jing Meditation Volume", which can increase intelligence attributes, it is one of the treasures coveted by arcane casters.
You must know that the higher the intelligence, the more spell slots there are.
At the same time, when engaging in spell confrontation, the arcane magic released becomes more difficult for the enemy to dodge, resist, and save.
