In the dark sewers of Askatra, a dozen people wearing black robes, with their entire faces hidden in wide hoods, quietly gathered near an open space that was obviously cleared with magic. They looked very suspicious.
Suspicious.
Because there was a demonic invasion not long ago, Zuo Si spread a large amount of plague that could kill people in this area, so everyone including the members of the Shadow Thieves Guild and local residents knew how dangerous it was.
At least until the Church of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, announces that the cleanup has been completed, you must not risk your own life.
Therefore, if you dare to enter the sewer at this time, you are basically either confident or hiding some ulterior secrets.
I saw the leading man slowly taking off his hood, revealing a face that had the characteristics of a native of Karatu from the East.
He was naked from the waist up, without any weapons on his body, and he didn't even have a pair of shoes on his feet. He looked completely bare-handed.
But the unusually developed muscles all over his body, as well as the thick arcs on the back of his hands like those of a boxer, all prove that he is a monk, or he can also be called a warrior monk or an ascetic.
This is a special profession that infuses magical energy into the body and completely weaponizes the limbs.
The best monks can even make their fists comparable to magical weapons, instantly breaking through things with astonishing protective power like dragon scales.
In the continent of Faerûn, wherever there is a monastery, there must be a group of monks.
Although their number is not large, because it is not easy to maintain almost strict discipline, their faith and piety are even comparable to those priests who rely on God's blessings to make ends meet.
The monk first looked around everyone present, and then said in a slightly low and hoarse voice: "I believe you all already know what it means for me to appear here today."
"Please give the order, Master. We are all the most loyal believers of the goddess and are willing to sacrifice our lives for her at any time."
A man took the initiative to step forward, bend down and bow deeply.
After hearing this, the monk nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good! I think the goddess will be moved by such a devout belief.
Your task is very simple, but it is also very difficult.
The first one is to investigate clearly where the double elector Soth went during the period of his disappearance.
The second one is to find a vampire named Badi and confirm her current condition.
There is no distinction between these two tasks, you can do them simultaneously."
"Investigating Soth?!"
The man who looked death-defying one second was completely stunned the next second, and there was a hint of undetectable panic in his eyes.
He has actually collected quite a lot of information about this elector who has risen rapidly in Amn and even the entire west coast and has shown amazing strength.
Especially the recent spell duel that took place in Luskan in the North, and the news that the Zhentarim leader Manzon and the chief red robed mages were defeated head-on, have already spread with the return of the merchant ship.
So it is very clear how dangerous this young man is.
If an in-depth investigation is carried out on him, the risks he will face are simply not high.
"That's right. Our goddess wants to find out what secrets he hides and why he always appears and disappears suddenly.
According to the gossip from the Shadow Thieves, Soth obtained information about a red dragon called Felkrag from them.
If nothing else, some action should be taken.
You can use this opportunity to blend in and test it out a bit.
Remember, our great goddess hates failure, and even more hates waste who fails to achieve anything but fails.
So if any of you disappoint her, I will be more than happy to execute them myself."
After saying that, the monk suddenly raised his fist and slammed it against the wall next to him.
Boom!!!!!!!
With a loud noise, the entire hard rock wall collapsed instantly, and a large amount of gravel and soil spurted out from the breach, blocking almost half of the pipe.
Just from such amazing fists, it is easy to tell that his monk level is definitely very high, even if he is not a legendary monk, he is almost the same.
If this punch were to hit a person, the entire body's bones would be shattered on the spot, and the internal organs would be ejected from the mouth as if they were minced.
In addition, the biggest feature of monks is that their immunity and magic resistance are amazing.
They are one of the very few who can, when their level is high enough, rush forward with various spell bombardments and kill high-level spellcasters at lightning speed.
Obviously, this hand directly shocked all the men in black present and made the surrounding environment become dead silent.
But the monk ignored these believers, and instead turned around and disappeared into the darkness like a thief.
It can be vaguely seen from the back that a black disc with a lavender ring is tattooed on the middle of his two shoulder blades, which is the mark of Shar, the goddess of the night.
It is easy to tell from this mark that this is a powerful Dark Moon Monk.
The main goal of this group is to serve the Goddess of Night, and to track and assassinate Suellen or senior members of the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
Almost every Darkmoon Monk is the most elite and professional assassin.
Due to the special abilities granted by Shar, the power they unleash when they launch a sneak attack on a target is even more amazing than that of assassins and thieves.
It is said that the reason why the Church of Selun cannot develop and grow is entirely due to the Dark Moon Monks constantly sending people to hunt down their church members.
It can even be said that among the many gods in Faerun, becoming a priest of Selun is one of the most dangerous choices.
That means directly facing Shar and her followers’ extremely secretive and efficient assassinations.
With the departure of the monks, these believers who always kept a low profile, secluded and gathered in small groups, quickly left the sewers without a trace and used their roles in society to start trying to investigate everything about Zuo Si. p>
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Especially where did he go when he disappeared twice for half a year.
Of course, this is not easy.
Because there are not many people who know the truth, and those who know the truth are either summoned creatures or loyal lichs within the organization.
In addition, there is a mage tower as a cover. Most outsiders simply think that Zuo Si disappeared just like an ordinary mage, staying in his own territory to engage in some interesting magic research.
Let alone disappearing for half a year, it is nothing new for some mages to suddenly disappear for decades or even centuries.
When he reappeared, those who thought he was dead were surprised to find that the mage had transformed himself into an immortal lich.
Of course, Zuo Si still knows nothing about what is happening in the hidden corners of Ascatra.
At this moment, he had left the city with a makeshift adventure team of six people and followed a small caravan towards Trimi Town, where he planned to make simple repairs and then reach the destination through rugged mountain roads -
—Hill of Wind Spear.
In order not to arouse the vigilance of the cunning red dragon Felkrag, except for Isadora, Fangus and Fed, the remaining two teammates were temporarily recruited at the Copper Crown Inn.
They are all male human warriors, and their professional level is around LV5. They are the kind of typical cannon fodder who are guaranteed to be the first to die when encountering any danger.
Of course, these two guys are not good people.
According to the information Isadora obtained through reading her mind through psychic powers, the other party obviously saw that there were more female members in the team, and they were all young and beautiful girls, so they wanted to wait until they went to a deserted place to secretly take the drug.
Confuse everyone, do some indescribable things, and then leave your body in the wilderness and loot all valuable things.
It is normal for things like this to happen in a temporarily formed adventure team.
This is why most adventurers who can live to middle age, without exception, have a fixed team.
The risk involved in teaming up with strangers is simply too great.
After all, more than 70% to 80% of Faerûn are inaccessible forests, wilderness and swamps. The chance of being discovered for murder here is almost zero, and the costs and risks of engaging in criminal activities have been reduced to an outrageous level.<
/p>
But it's a pity that these two guys with human faces and animal hearts have hit the wall this time.
It is not easy to keep secrets in front of a psychic.
Their sinister plan was exposed from the beginning.
If there weren't two more cannon fodder in the team to cover up others, they would have been dealt with immediately after leaving the city.
Especially Feide, who was sent by the Shadow Thief to lead the way, his eyes often flashed with extremely cold murderous intent.
Obviously, the other party's despicable and cruel behavior caused her some unpleasant memories or experiences.
Because Zuo Si noticed that there was a very vague mark on the arm of the demon elf assassin. Although it was easy to ignore after processing, it can be concluded that she must have been a Calimshan slave before.
As an exotic and very rare demon elf, especially a beautiful woman, anyone who is not a fool can guess what will happen.
Whenever the two of them began to court the female members of the team, she would subconsciously put her hands on the daggers and daggers at her waist, and almost couldn't help but take action several times.
But at the last moment, reason prevailed over impulsive emotion.
In this way, the group of people arrived safely in Cuimi Town in a strange and murderous atmosphere.
Apart from encountering some wolves, bears and a few goblins along the way, everything seemed so peaceful.
As a thank you, the caravan leader presented a small bag of almost seventy gold coins as a reward for the escort.
Yes!
You heard it right!
Only seventy gold coins!
This is the truest portrayal of the income of low-level adventurers.
This price is based on the fact that there is a mage and a priest in the team.
If it were replaced by an adventure team composed purely of warriors, the reward might be even lower.
After getting the money, Zuo Si immediately pretended to be very happy and poured out all the gold coins. Then he smiled and said to the team members: "Seventy gold coins, each person will take ten according to the pre-arranged distribution method, and the remaining
The ten coins you placed will be used as the team’s reserves to purchase various tools and supplies. Do you have any objections?”
"Of course! Hurry up and pay, I can't help but want to go to the town's tavern for a drink." A male soldier in his thirties urged impatiently.
Another slightly younger soldier also echoed: "That's right. Anyway, with such a small amount of money, it can only be used for toothpaste at best."
"Since there is no objection, then the money will be distributed."
With that said, Zuo Si quickly handed out ten gold coins to each person.
As the daughter of a wealthy merchant family, Isadora had no idea about money.
Ten gold coins may not even be one-tenth of the value of a pair of shoes, a beautiful dress or jewelry on her feet, so she throws them into her pocket very casually.
In contrast, the werewolf girl Fangus, who had endured hardship, been discriminated against, and even nearly starved to death, knew the value of ten gold coins very well, and quickly put them in her personal purse and put them away for emergencies.<
/p>
As for Feide, she put the money on her finger and played with it. The gold coins seemed to be affected by magic, rolling and jumping under her control, repeatedly performing a wonderful dance.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the ten gold coins are getting fewer and fewer as they continue to jump, and finally only the last one is left in the middle of the palm.
As for where the others were hidden, no one except Zuo Si could see clearly.
Many thieves will use this method of making gold coins dance to exercise the flexibility of their fingers, so that they can be more skillful when stealing, dismantling and installing traps.
But what is certain is that there are absolutely not many thieves who can juggle ten coins with both hands at the same time.
"Skillful hands?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
You must know that even in the continent of Faerûn, which is full of magical power, there are definitely not many people with this kind of talent.
It is said that Drizzt, the famous dark elf ranger, was trained as a warrior because he showed his talent with dexterous hands when he was young.
Because when you fight with dual-wielding weapons, you don’t just click on the talent and then equip it directly like in the game.
Instead, it requires strong physical coordination and long-term training.
Anyone who has played cold weapons knows that without this talent, dual-wielding weapons will not only fail to gain an advantage in battle, but will also lead to an embarrassing situation of being in a hurry due to coordination problems. It is far better to switch to two-handed weapons or give up.
It is better to replace a weapon with a shield.
This is why most warriors choose swords and shields or two-handed weapons, and most thieves only have a dagger or short sword.
So far, Zuo Si has seen only one person with dual-wielding talent and actual combat ability, the dwarf berserker Korgan.
"No, of course not, I'm just a little more flexible than ordinary people's fingers." Feide blinked his eyes in a playful manner. "By the way, what are your plans next?"
"Well - let's go visit the local market first. Cuimi Town is a town founded by the goddess of wealth, Wojin. It is said that she received some kind of blessing, so she often sells some rare things." Zuo Si touched his chin.
Speak out your thoughts.
If you look at the map, you will know that Trimi Town is located almost in the heart of the entire Amn, and is a trade hub that almost all trade routes must pass through.
Therefore, although the market size is not as large as Ascatra, it still has its own characteristics.
"I'll accompany you."
"Me too!"
Isadora and Fangers quickly held Zuo Si's arms.
The actions of the two girls instantly aroused the jealousy of the two male warriors who were planning to go to the only Viatelli bar in town to have a drink.
Because along the way, they had been forced to eat a lot of similar "dog food", and they had long hated Zuo Si, the "little pretty boy" in their hearts.
However, the two of them did not show it. Instead, they hid their hatred in their hearts and left the scene as quickly as possible.
After reaching a deserted alley, the leading soldier couldn't help gritting his teeth and cursing: "Why is that damn bastard so popular? Is it because he is younger and more handsome? Or is it because he is a priest and we
Just a warrior?"
"Give up, Thors. You should have known a long time ago that with our appearance and background, it is impossible to attract the favor of women who think highly of themselves. In other words, except for prostitutes, no woman will really like us.
Of course, even prostitutes only love our money." Another soldier sighed helplessly.
He always has an unrealistic fantasy with his companions, and likes to court the young and beautiful female members of the team, and hopes to get a different response one day.
He is a very realistic person and has long seen through this hypocritical world.
Especially he is full of contempt for Suna, the goddess of love and beauty, and the things she most touted.
No matter how beautiful or ugly everyone is, they can find their true love!
What kind of love is part nobility!
It’s all a fucking lie!
The cruel real world is that ugly people do not deserve love!
If you add poverty and nothing as prefixes, it will be even more miserable.
That's why he finally embarked on such a path of no return, venting his twisted desires and resentment against the world on those female adventurers who had no ability to resist, thereby gaining some psychological satisfaction.
Then he sells the looted equipment and property for a lot of money, and goes to pubs, brothels and other places to live happily.
Let’s drink today and get drunk today.
Anyway, my life has become as bad as it is now. What will happen even if the doomsday judgment comes tomorrow?
Even if you are killed one day, this life will be worth it.
The warrior known as Thors nodded vigorously, and said fiercely with a fierce look on his face: "That's right, man. When I leave Cuimi Town and go to the inaccessible forests and mountains, I will definitely face that damn pretty boy.
He pushed the three girls to the ground and brutally tortured them, making them wail in the most painful and desperate way."
"According to the old rules, each person chooses one, and the last one tosses a coin to decide who comes to enjoy it first."
"I choose the ranger with the winter wolf. She looks like she has a wild aura, and her resistance will be very fierce. I like this feeling. The more fierce her resistance, the more excited I will be."
"Then I will choose the girl who looks like a rich lady. I bet the skin under her robe will be as white and smooth as milk."
"But we have to be careful about the demon elf assassin and the ranger's animal companion, the winter wolf."
"Do you need to tell me that? I have already spent a lot of money to buy the best poison from the Shadow Thieves Guild. Just this small bottle costs 500 gold coins. I guarantee that I can knock it all down in one go."
……
Just when the two guys with bad intentions began to discuss how to start, Zuo Si and his party had already arrived at the busy market.
Since there is a fairly large lake next to Cuimi Town, although it is inland, there are many fish vendors.
Many fresh fish just caught in the morning were piled on the stalls, allowing civilians passing by to pick and buy them.
Of course, any place that sells fresh food will definitely not taste very good.
Especially now that it was midsummer, some wooden barrels used for processing offal were emitting bursts of pungent stench under the strong sunlight, which immediately made Fangers, whose sense of smell was as sensitive as that of a canine, couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. Isadora did not hesitate to bless herself with a spell to block all the smells that would cause physical discomfort.
As a member of the Shadow Thieves Guild, Fede has been active in the Ascatra Pier and the Bridge area for a long time, so he has long been accustomed to the smell of fish. He even pointed at the oversized pike being slaughtered at a stall next to him and said: "You
Are you sure you don’t want to buy one? You must know that this kind of fish tastes great. Whether it is grilled, stewed, pan-fried or deep-fried, it tastes very good. It is perfect for dinner.”
"Forget it. I don't think there will be any fish-related dishes in today's dinner." Zuo Si refused without hesitation.
He obviously noticed the reactions of the two girls around him, so he immediately realized that the demon elf assassin was definitely doing it on purpose.
"That's really a pity. You know I like to eat fish the most." Fede shrugged his shoulders pretending to be regretful.
Just as she turned around and walked to the next stall, Zuo Si suddenly asked from behind: "Have you had a hard time enduring these days?"
"What do you mean?"
The demon elf suddenly stopped and raised his head, revealing his strange eyes that made many people around him feel uneasy.
"Don't pretend to be stupid. The murderous intention you revealed can't be hidden even by Fan Ges, so how can you hide it from me." Zuo Si directly exposed the other party's disguise.
He was very curious about how the assassin lady learned that there was something wrong with the two recruited soldiers without the ability to detect thoughts.
"You also know that there is something wrong with those two guys?" Feide's expression suddenly became very strange.
"Don't you know that there are many magics that can read a person's mind? To be precise, I knew what was going on in their minds from the beginning, but I was just too lazy to expose it." Zuo Si explained casually.<
/p>
"So... in your eyes, they are just pawns to be used and manipulated?"
Feide suddenly understood, and finally understood why he had not received a response to his constant hints these days.
"Chess piece?"
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head.
"No, I have very high requirements for chess pieces, and they don't have the qualifications yet.
However, the greed and stupidity of these two guys can be a very good cover-up.
You have to understand that Felkrag is not one of those ordinary red dragons who are reckless and impulsive.
He not only has monsters like orcs, hobgoblins and trolls under his command, but also a group of human followers, and has even established an intelligence network scattered in surrounding towns and strongholds.
Any adventurer who approaches Windspear Hills will receive special attention.
If we don't want to reveal our identity, we must appear to reassure the red dragon and have the idea of playing a game with us.
Only in this way can we approach his lair without alerting him."
"Then what are you going to do with those two disgusting scum?" The demon elf came closer and asked in a low voice.
Zuo Si answered straightforwardly: "You can dispose of them as you wish after they lose their use value. It doesn't matter whether you use the terrible tortures of the Shadow Thieves Guild to torture them to death, or break their limbs and let them be eaten by wild beasts in the wilderness. In this regard,
I am not morally obsessive, or foolish enough to think that they should be tried by the law rather than lynched."
"I understand. Since you said that, I won't be polite."
After saying that, Fede cracked his knuckles, and his whole body exuded a chilling, dark aura.
After all, as the most respected subordinate of Ellen Linville, the apparent supreme leader of the Shadow Thieves Guild, she naturally cannot be a good person. She has killed many people just by being responsible for cleaning up traitors in recent years. p>
You must know that when the Shadow Thieves Guild is purging traitors, it not only targets one person, but also the traitor's direct family members and descendants. It pays attention to eradicating the roots and eliminating future troubles.
In this way, the two reached an agreement on how to deal with the two male warriors in the team.
The latter didn't know that he was in danger. He was sitting in the tavern with gold coins and drinking strong drinks, thinking about what new tricks he would play after he used poison to overwhelm the entire team.
Little did they know, the demon elf assassin was already gearing up, recalling the various tortures he had learned during training.
Especially those methods that can cause great pain but are not immediately fatal.
Zuo Si even saw that she bought a box of shiny silver needles, some threads and hemostatic medicine in the market, and the expression on her face was scary.
The team repaired for one day and two nights in Cuimi Town, and officially set off early in the morning on the third day to continue moving towards the Wind Spear Hills in the east.
In order to deceive others, Zuo Si took a job hunting monsters in the town.
For every orc, hobgoblin, and gnoll killed and their nose cut off, you can get fifteen gold coins as a reward, while ordinary goblins get one gold coin each.
This method of paying adventurers to continuously reduce the number of monsters around towns over a long period of time is a strategy adopted by many local governments throughout Faerûn, so it does not arouse too many people's suspicions.
As for the two warriors in the team, they have long been impatient to enter the inaccessible forests and hills to start. They don't care about the mission or not, they just want to get it quickly.
But unfortunately, the two of them were obviously still useful, so Zuo Si didn't give them the slightest chance to make a move on the way from Trimi Town to Windspear Hill.
Whenever one of them wants to poison their food, Fed or Winter Wolf will appear around by chance, scaring them so much that they dare not make any small move.
But after successfully arriving at Windspear Hill, all these "coincidences" disappeared.
At the beginning, the warrior named Thors did not dare to take action easily because he was almost hit several times before.
But later, as the other four people in the team became more and more relaxed, they finally couldn't help but discuss it with their accomplices in the dead of night and decided to take action tonight.
In order to successfully poison their meals, they took the initiative to take on the task of hunting and fishing. They hunted a deer from the surrounding forest and stabbed several plump grass carps with spears.
After being simply skinned, gutted and cleaned, the venison was stewed with wild mushrooms in a large pot, while the fish was roasted over the fire.
After a while, the smell of meat came out from around the campfire.
Since he had rich experience in poisoning, Thors did not rush to put the poison in. Instead, he pretended to add some salt and other condiments, and then took a piece of it with a spoon and put it into his mouth to taste.
The purpose of his doing this was to lower the vigilance of Zuo Si and others, and also to show that the food was not poisonous.
Isadora, who had already received the instructions, cast a poison detection on the cauldron, and then said to everyone: "These foods are not poisonous, you can have dinner."
"That's great! I've been walking all day and I'm starving." The werewolf girl immediately rushed to the campfire and was about to get the grilled fish.
But this action was immediately stopped by Thors, who took out some tampered salt from the bottle he carried with him, sprinkled it back and scolded him angrily: "Don't be so hasty! These fish and the stew in the pot are still there.
There’s no salt.”
"I can't wait any longer! Bring it!"
Fangers snatched the grilled fish that had just been sprinkled with salt from the opponent's hand, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Thors's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sinister smile that was difficult to detect.
In his opinion, from the moment she bit her, the girl's fate was already doomed.
In the next few minutes, Thors repeated his same trick, distributing the poisoned food to everyone one by one, and then watched each other eat it.
In the name of preventing sneak attacks by wild beasts or monsters, I and my accomplices ran to a place about dozens of meters away from the camp with the food, secretly dumped it all into a pit and buried it.
After waiting for about half an hour, when the effects of the medicine should have started to take effect, they returned to the campfire together.
It turned out that all four people, including Zuo Si, were lying on the ground and fell into a deep coma.
In order to prevent accidents, Thors called everyone one by one to confirm that he was really unconscious, and then quickly changed his face and revealed his true face.
I saw him grinning and showing his big yellow teeth, kicked the winter wolf away and spat fiercely: "Bah! You damn beast! How many times have you ruined my good deeds? If it weren't for you, I would have already done it.
Got it."
"Okay, don't be angry with a wolf. After we enjoy it later, we will just take off its leash and sell it. You know, the fur of a winter wolf is worth a lot of money." Another accomplice walked towards Yi with a lewd smile.
Sadora.
"That's right."
Thors quickly took off his armor as quickly as possible, and leaped towards Fangus with his upper body naked.
Just when he was impatient to tear off the girl's clothes, he suddenly found that the body of this girl who gave off a wild beauty suddenly began to swell inexplicably. In the blink of an eye, she became much taller than him, and her originally smooth skin
Large patches of thick hair grew on the surface, and the human head and beautiful face were replaced by a huge wolf head full of fangs.
Especially the beast-like light released from his eyes instantly made the man's excitement disappear, replaced by fear from the heart.
Werewolf!
Having been engaged in adventure for a long time, this word suddenly popped into his mind, and he subconsciously wanted to grab the armor and weapons he had just taken off.
But it's a pity that everything is too late.
Fangers didn't give the man who wanted to violate him any chance at all. He got up and hit him hard with a violent blow.
The latter's poor strength and agility attributes were too late to react, and he instantly flew back several meters, hit his head against a big tree with a bang, and lost consciousness.
As for the man who walked towards Isadora, it was even worse. Before he even had time to take off his clothes, he was directly invaded by psychic power and turned into a controlled puppet.
Seeing these two idiots being defeated in an instant, Feide, who originally wanted to show off his skills, couldn't help but complain: "How dare you poison in front of the electors of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease? I really don't know if I should admire their courage.
Astonishing, I still laughed at them for being so stupid. Didn’t they realize that there were problems with all the unusual coincidences before?"
Zuo Si smiled and responded: "Seventy percent of adventurers have not received any education, forty percent of adventurers are illiterate, and ten percent of adventurers cannot communicate in common language. For such a
It is a mistake to have too high expectations for them. What's more, these two people have used the same method more than once successfully, and they will naturally form dependence. Well, according to the agreement, they are now at your disposal." p>
"Thank you!"
The demon elf quickly took out the sewing kit he had purchased in Cuimi Town from the tool bag, then hummed a tune and dragged the two of them into the woods nearby.
After a while, heart-wrenching screams, wails and begging for mercy came from over there, frightening the birds resting on the treetops and flying away.
Fanges couldn't help but ask: "Master, what did Feder do to those two people?"
"Well...it's better that you don't know about this."
Zuo Si, who felt a faint phantom pain in his lower body, interrupted the werewolf girl's curiosity with an awkward but polite answer.
He now finally knows why many people, when identified as traitors by the Shadow Thieves Guild and hunted down, would rather kill themselves than be captured alive.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this superb "craft" was learned by the demon elves from their parents when they were young.
……
Just as the screams of killing pigs echoed over the woods of Windspear Hills, deep in the ruins of the ancient catacombs, a huge red dragon was taking a nap on his mountain of treasures.
He looked so powerful and impressive that every time he breathed, he would emit an amazing wave of heat from near his mouth and nose, so much so that even some gold and silver coins couldn't bear it and began to melt.
You don't need to ask to know that he is the real ruler of this land, a terrifying giant beast that has reached the age of an ancient dragon-Felkrag, and is also the target of Zuo Si's hunting.
In front of this guy, Galen, the legitimate lord of Windspear Hills who was recognized by Amn, seemed transparent. He had neither power nor people to rule, only a dilapidated log cabin built on the cliff. In fact, Firckrag could end the lives of this man and his young daughter at any time if he wanted to.
If it were any other red dragon with a violent personality, I'm afraid he would have done this long ago.
But Fairclage is different. He prefers to play some games with these little mice that rebel against him, and enjoys watching their frustrated and desperate looks after failure.
I have to say, this is really quite a bad taste.
But considering that he has lived for too long, it is not surprising that he would develop some weird interests and hobbies.
Because this is a common problem common to all long-lived lives.
For example, there is a quite famous blue dragon who loves music and likes to collect various musical instruments and music scores, rather than the treasures that other evil dragons like.
If a bard can play a beautiful melody or offer him a musical instrument he has never seen before, the blue dragon will choose one of his treasures as a gift in return.
Not to mention the dragon whose life span was several years ago, even Elminster, who lived for more than a thousand years, and other voters of the goddess of magic with the same longevity also have their own interests and hobbies to kill boredom and
A long life.
Just when Felkrag was dreaming about becoming the tyrant who ruled Amn, a mage wearing a blue cloak and hood suddenly appeared in front of him out of thin air, put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.<
/p>
"Master, according to the news from the scouts, an adventurous team is approaching your lair."
"Huh? Adventure team!"
The red dragon who was sleeping one second suddenly opened his eyes the next second and slowly stood up from the pile of treasures.
"Yes. It was a team of six people, three men and three women. There was a priest, a mage, a ranger, a thief or assassin, and two warriors. But for some reason, when they arrived in Feng
Internal strife broke out behind Spear Hill, and the two warriors were being tortured and abused extremely cruelly..."
When saying these words, the mage visibly shuddered and subconsciously clamped his legs.
He could not imagine what kind of resentment could actually make the demon elf do such a crazy thing.
"Interesting."
Faircrag dragged his chin with his front paws and showed a playful expression.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered: "Let the orcs and goblins lead this adventuring team over. I happen to be a little bored recently, so let these little bugs please me."
"As you wish."
The mage bowed again, then cast a teleportation spell and disappeared without a trace.
After he left, the red dragon fiddled with the most valuable two-handed sword in the collection - Casomire, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "I hope you can bring it to me.
A little surprise and a precious enough gift. Otherwise...then all of them will die."
After saying that, he suddenly spread his wings and stirred up a strong wind that could blow people away.
Obviously, Fairkrag regards adventurers as couriers delivering treasures to him, and the most precious treasures in his lair are delivered by adventurers who knock on the door.
So over time, I developed the habit of leading adventurers into my lair and then looting them.
It's much easier to wait for prey to come to you than to fly out all day to find the target.
However, Faircrag didn't know that this time the prey did carry quite a few precious magic items, which were even more valuable than all the treasures in the lair put together.
But similarly, the person holding these treasures is not an ordinary person, but Zuo Si, who is more dangerous than any enemy he has ever encountered.
Soon, under the coordination of the mage, a group of goblin cannon fodder were sent out carrying a simple map of the entrance to the lair.
Their purpose is not to eliminate the adventurers, but to kill them all, and then "accidentally" discover this map when cleaning up the loot.
Similar things have been done many times, so the mage knows very well that due to the curious nature of adventurers, he will definitely come to see what is going on.
In this way, your master's game can officially begin.
