Chess Mage of Faerûn

Chapter 251 The Powers of Magical Pets

Even more outrageous is that it wasn't just individuals or groups involved; even national-level forces were involved.

Of course, these countries that acted irrationally didn't gain anything either; their huge investments came to nothing, and some even went bankrupt as a result.

Interestingly, this wave was almost subsiding after the tragic fates of these losers served as a warning, but then, a year of turmoil arrived.
The meteoric rise of three mortals, Mystra, Cramble, and Cyric, nearly made some ambitious individuals explode with rage. "If others can do it, why can't I?"
Thus, the once desolate and deserted Spine of the World, which had been quiet for only a short time, welcomed another peak tourist season.

It's one thing for ordinary people to believe in this, but you, a dignified Dharma Master, believe in this?

Zhang the philanthropist began to seriously consider the possibility of making a profit by reselling the "power pills" in Ferenc.

That's ridiculous.

"No, the old master doesn't believe in that."

This answer surprised Zhang Yuan, but then he heard the silly bird continue, "Before he left, he said he was going on a final journey and that there was no need to wait for him to come back."

After speaking, there was a long silence. The mage did not disturb it and went to the side to look at the map.

They've already covered more than half the journey. Although the visiting black dragon interrupted them, arriving in Neverwinter City on schedule shouldn't be a problem. But there are two things to consider right now.

First, there's the landing location. The Canaanites wouldn't make a big show of arriving in Neverwinter with a huge cloud descending from the sky, pulled by a dragon. Are they afraid of not being conspicuous enough?

Furthermore, after flying for several hours, the team members were very excited, but several horses couldn't keep up. Despite the constant reassurances from Tallinda and Münster, they were still panting heavily with their mouths open, spitting out mist and white foam. They looked like they were on the verge of death, as if they would die at any moment.

He shook his head, resigned to the fact that he could only prepare to camp after landing. As for the landing spot?
His gaze lingered on the map for a long time before finally settling on the ruins of the high cliff.

This is an abandoned castle located north of High Cliff, not far from Neverwinter.

The former Lord of High Cliff chose this majestic and precipitous location, surrounded by peaks, because of its strategic advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, no matter how powerful the castle or how magnificent the landscape, it could not stop the shadows and evil spirits that arose from within. What happened afterward is unknown, but the high cliff castle is now a dead city, a paradise for the dead.

However, this was irrelevant. Zhang Yuan did not plan to land in front of the castle. That area was surrounded by peaks, and he would sneak in under the cover of night and choose a secluded hilltop to land on, thus avoiding possible prying eyes.

As time went on, the dragon chariot drove over the swamp, and the surrounding mist gradually dissipated. Considering that the route was approaching the town and residential area, it simply cast another cloud spell.

Looking down at the map, the red dot was about to move to a small port village—Sihanoukville.

This is the birthplace of the two main characters of Neverwinter Nights, the hero of Westport, the lord of Crossroads, Kara-Cha, the cradle of the Shadow King terminator.

It's quite a pity, really, that I never visited the hometowns of either of my two predecessors, Chanem, who were using Chanem's name.

We can only leave it for the future.

As dusk fell, the winter sun showed no intention of lingering on the earth for long.

Taking advantage of the dim twilight, the dragon carriage, which had shed its fog cover, slowed down and smoothly entered the mountains north of the high cliff. After circling around for a while, it chose a flat and open valley to land slowly.

After the formation was reorganized, everything returned to normal. The clouds in the sky were also put away, leaving only six horses lying on the ground, panting heavily as if they had survived a disaster, and it looked like they couldn't even move their hooves.

Without much thought, the stone house of Leomon's Refuge was erected, and the dragon pawns, who hadn't yet disbanded, didn't sit idle either, using their remaining strength to sweep through the surrounding area. In this kind of cliff terrain, visibility was quite limited, and even the female elves couldn't guard a very wide area. If some foolish creature suddenly appeared in the night, it would be troublesome, though not a threat.

That day, the local monsters were truly unlucky. How could those wild wolves, wandering low-level undead creatures, and other local natives escape the search and capture of these air force personnel?

Fortunately, they didn't wipe them out completely. After eliminating the undead and a few monster leaders, they let them scatter like birds and beasts.

The unexpected bonus of acquiring two pelts of ferocious animals was quite pleasant.

As soon as the fur was in hand, Nancy and Lawrence, who were eyeing it covetously, immediately surrounded them.

They were all seasoned wanderers; they knew all too well the value of the fur of ferocious creatures, and the leather armor made from it was always in high demand.

"How dare you?" Zhang Yuan said speechlessly, tugging at the female thief's shadow thief leather armor. She really was always looking for more than she had.

"Lawrence just happens to need some good armor. I'll work on this ferocious wolf pelt and see if I can make an enchanted leather armor."

After the overjoyed old lecher left, the monk looked down at Doflamingo, who was curled up on the ground like a big quail.

"You're still holed up here with us? What, are you trying to cling to us?"

"I have a request." The silly bird peeked at Zhang Yuan, then shrank back, and stammered, "I have a request."

"I wonder if I could become your magical pet?"

Ok?
Is it possible that a slight increase in charm can have such a miraculous effect, making the other party bow down and willingly follow suit?
“There’s no need. I’ll let you go. You can continue your carefree life,” the mage said, half-jokingly probing.

"Ah, that time was very carefree and unrestrained, but I also experienced civilization. I am not like my ignorant and ignorant peers."

"Didn't you try to find a mage who would accept you?"

"I want to, but low-level mages are too weak, and I don't have the guts to approach the strong ones." The stupid bird said this with a straight neck, as if it were filled with blood.

"Tch, you're quite the show-off. What right do you have to be picky?" Zhang Yuan was amused.

"I'm no ordinary Despair Bird; I possess several spell-like abilities," the silly bird enthusiastically promoted itself. "And my old master bestowed upon me an extraordinary ability!"

"Tell me about it." The mage remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was genuinely surprised. The spell was constant? Or was it in the magical pet?

This is truly remarkable! Only a master could have accomplished this.

"A magical pet imbues me with magic!" The silly bird said with great pride, its words resounding.

It certainly has reason to be proud. This spell, well, it doesn't actually enhance the pet at all, unlike spells that can improve both the offensive and defensive capabilities of a pet.

but!

This fourth-circle spell allows a pet to temporarily preserve one of its master's highest level five spells!
And this "temporary" period is three days.
