Casting spells

But judging from Joey's dress, it is obvious that he belongs to the former.

"Damn! What should we do then? Don't tell me, let's rush in directly from the main entrance of the tower. This suicide is no different." The shield dwarf, who was squatting in the corner and kept drinking, gritted his teeth and complained.

"Agreed! Although the Battle of Neverwinter killed many high-level members of the original Arcane Brotherhood, the number of spellcasters in the Mage Tower is still quite considerable, and we alone cannot enter the top level." The first one spoke. The half-elf druid nodded thoughtfully.

"Then what do you say? Is it possible that we have to wait here forever? Or are we going to retreat in despair?"

"No! I can't retreat! I managed to borrow this dragon-slaying sword! How can I give up halfway! Evil must be eradicated! That's why I joined the Harpist!" After all, the young human girl in silver half-armor died. Holding the long sword exuding a faint magical aura, his two eyes shot out a firm light.

Judging from the holy emblem worn on her chest, she is undoubtedly a paladin who serves Tyre, the god of justice.

"But we can't stay in the hotel for too long, it will arouse suspicion."

"If only the Harper's base was still there, at least we can have a place to stay."

"Don't think about it, the former secret base and spies were all cleaned up a while ago, and there is no one who can help us right now."

"I don't like the feeling right now, like there are enemies all around me, and I don't even have a single friend."

……

Seeing that his companion began to sigh, Joey smiled helplessly, and suggested in a polar voice: "Actually, there is no way at all. I have an idea, that is, it is a little dangerous. Once we are exposed halfway, all of us will be punished." Kill or capture."

"Oh? What an idea!" A look of surprise appeared on the face of the young paladin.

"It's very simple! Make a game to lure it to the bait! Remember the mysterious ancient statue we unearthed from a ruin half a year ago? Use this thing as a bait and let the dragon leave the tower to meet us." Joey didn't agree. He spoke out his plan in a hurry.

"Great! That statue seems to contain an extremely powerful energy, which should attract the attention of that evil black dragon." The half-elf druid echoed with glowing eyes.

As the sole caster of this adventure team, she tried many times to decipher the mystery of the statue, but in the end she found nothing. Even the archdruid in the sect didn't know the specific purpose of this thing.

"In this case, let's make a plan. First, we need to let the whole of Luskan know that this statue is a powerful magic item. Joey, this task is entrusted to you, is it okay?" St. The samurai turned to stare at his companion.

The latter raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bent down and bowed with a very exaggerated movement: "Of course! I am the most professional. At most three days, the whole of Luskan will know that you have a statue with powerful divine power in your hand. "

"We have to prepare accordingly. After all, Luskan is not Neverwinter, Waterdeep, or Silvermoon City, especially the evil wizards in the steeple, who never mind taking extreme measures."

"As long as anyone dares to come, I will smash their heads with a hammer!"

Chapter 485 Fake Justice

Two days later, in the private room of the central minaret of Luskan, Zhang Cheng was observing the team sent by the Harper Alliance through the crystal ball, with an undisguised contemptuous smile on his face.

He really couldn't understand how high-level people like Elminster, Kelben, and the Seven Northland Sisters were so stupid that they let four little characters who didn't know the so-called assassinate him?

Don't they know the terrible power they wield?

Or did they have great confidence in that dragon-slaying sword?

Or is there a disagreement, a power struggle, etc. within the Harper Alliance, and these four people are the victims of the struggle?

After all, the Harper Alliance is a huge intelligence organization with complex internal membership, including paladins, priests, and warriors who dedicate their lives to the cause of kindness and justice, as well as druids, rangers, and even some A bard for instant fame, a young adventurer with unrealistic ideals.

In short, there are so many factions and hilltops that their own people are a little confused, and it is not impossible for conflicts of interest to arise.

In fact, thanks to Mansong's reminder, Zhang Cheng had already received definite news from the moment these people passed through Luskan's gate, and the other party's every move was under surveillance. It is clear which girl went to bed and what difficult movements she used.

Under such circumstances, let alone assassination, it would be impossible for them to escape from Luskan.

However, Zhang Cheng didn't intend to kill these little mice too early. He wanted to do an experiment to see if he could make the other party completely collapse from body to spirit through a series of psychological torture, and even fall into darkness.

Especially the young paladin named Verity, once he breaks his oath, he will degenerate into a dark guard.

Thinking of this, he turned around and asked Xini who was standing at the door: "I asked you to prepare, are you ready?"

"Of course, master. I guarantee that these little mice will feel your meticulous care." Sydney gave the answer with a sneer.

"Very good! Have fun, just keep my little paladin." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng ignored the other party, picked up a blank parchment, and started a new round. The spell model construction.

If it is said that the most useful thing he learned when he came to Faerun Continent, the standardized spell model is undoubtedly at the top of the list.

Unlike Dalaran mages who rely on constructing magic circuits in their bodies to cast spells, mages in this world rely on pre-constructed accurate spell models to cast spells.

Every time a mage learns a new spell, the first step is to get familiar with the spell model and imprint it deeply in his mind.

The advantage of this method is that it is not easy to have accidents. As long as the surrounding magic net is stable enough, there will be almost no loss of control. Moreover, the spell model that has been simplified and optimized by countless predecessors consumes very little energy. Since there is no need to build magic in the body Circuit, you can cast a variety of spells of different types at will.

But the disadvantage is that due to the need to memorize a large number of complex spell models, mages must be very smart and have a memory far beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, when the number of models in the mind exceeds a certain number, the memory area of ​​​​the brain will be filled, unless self-hypnosis is used Delete unnecessary spells in a simple way, otherwise you will never be able to learn new spells.

That's why, Zhang Cheng secretly studied the life trajectory of the great arcanist Iolum.

You must know that reality is not a game. Calling out a modifier, or adding points according to the rules, can easily accumulate intelligence to a very high level. Generally speaking, everyone's intelligence level is fixed from about 25 years old, and there is no further increase. possible.

As for some lunatics who want to increase their intelligence infinitely through magic potions and wishing, they are often crushed by the suddenly enlarged brain and die on the spot.

By the same token, transforming oneself into other forms, such as liches, half-elemental forms, will not bring about a leap in intelligence.

There is only one way in this world to truly increase intelligence without limit, and that is to fuse one's consciousness and soul with the mind flayer's mastermind.

The popular explanation is to use the nearly unlimited intelligence of the mind flayer mastermind as "hardware", use its own soul and consciousness as the operating system, and eventually become a super biological computer with autonomous consciousness.

At that time, not only will you be able to obtain the two powerful powers of arcane and psionic power, but you will also be able to learn almost unlimited spells.

……

At the same time, in a tavern in the Luskan Wharf area, Joey was hugging a scantily clad woman, drinking while triumphantly telling the surrounding guests about his adventures. A shadow came up behind him silently, opened its mouth and bit his neck hard.

"Ah! Damn it! Who is it?"

The severe pain made Joey couldn't help but let out a scream, and hurriedly drew out the dagger, intending to give the other party a little color.

Unfortunately, when he turned around, the attacker had already left the tavern and disappeared without a trace with the help of the endless crowd.

"Damn it! Don't let me catch you!"

In desperation, he could only curse in a low voice, asked the bartender for a glass of water, and simply scrubbed the wound. Since the wound was not deep, the bleeding stopped in just a few minutes.

On the other side, the guy who bit someone just now quickly crossed the street, walked into a dilapidated wooden house, licked the blood left on his teeth, and reported in a low voice: "Your Excellency, I have bitten the target according to your instructions, and then Last night happened to be a full moon, and around midnight he'll start his first mindless transformation."

"Good job! Inform your subordinates to ambush the target at night. Once he transforms, you immediately rush in and attack the other three people around him. Be sure to let the target die in the hands of his companions." , Xini slowly walked out from the darkness, her eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

"As you wish!"

The man with a bushy beard who looked about 40 years old saluted, and then the muscles all over his body began to swell rapidly, and a large amount of thick black hair grew on his skin.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a strong human into a terrifying werewolf.

According to the principle of the spread of lycanthropy in Faerun Continent, any unlucky egg bitten by a lycanthropy will be infected unknowingly. When the first full moon night comes, it will completely lose its mind and transform into only knowing killing and fighting. Destroyed monsters.
