[Blessing]! [Faction Weapon - Kindness]! [Bear's Fortitude]! [Bull's Strength]! [Cat's Grace]! [Magic Armor]! [Advanced Magic Weapon]! [Death Barrier]! [Protection from Evil]! [Stoneskin]! [Speed]! [Sharp Edge]! [Flame Shield]! In just a moment, Zuo Si used the cards hidden in his sleeves with extremely skillful movements to bless Davian with a bunch of blinding strengthening and protective arcane and divine spells.
The latter didn't even say a word, and rushed to the front from the back of the team, holding a shield and a flaming sword to meet the crazy dark guard Warren.
Boom! The moment the two people with extraordinary powers collided with each other, a deafening sound like a sonic boom was heard.
The subsequent impact created a gust of wind that made it impossible for other people around to open their eyes.
Without a doubt!
This is the aftermath of the battle between high-level warriors after their levels reach a certain level.
Since their physical fitness has long been that of true "superhumans", the speed at which they swing their weapons in battle can be several times that of ordinary military soldiers.
The most intuitive manifestation is that a blurred afterimage will appear when observed with the naked eye.
That's not some magical effect, it's just a visual tearing effect caused by speed exceeding a certain threshold.
In just a few seconds, Davian and Warren fought dozens of rounds.
The clanging sound of weapons colliding and the flying sparks shocked Luger, who had just climbed up from the ground.
You know, as a dwarf defender, he has always been proud of his strong defensive ability.
But now, seeing Warren's violent attack with the two-handed sword, and Davian's airtight defense with the dragon scale shield, he felt for the first time his own weakness and powerlessness.
Because the dwarf knew that if it were him at this moment, he would be torn into pieces in the blink of an eye by the enemy with overwhelming strength advantage.
As many famous warriors have described, in close combat, strength is always the most important and decisive attribute, no doubt about it.
As for other skills, tactics, and steps, they must all be put aside.
Without the intervention of magical power, when a person completely crushes his opponent in strength, he can win the victory with ease just by waving the weapon in his hand wildly.
The person being crushed can do nothing but try his best to block, parry, and dodge to delay a little, or else the only option left is to give up defense and die together.
"Is this the strength of Death Hunter Warren? No wonder so many famous teams died at his hands..."
Kels shuddered with lingering fear.
He simply couldn't imagine what a bloody scene it would be now if the Dragonborn Knight hadn't stepped up to help the dwarf when he was knocked down just now.
Although the bard himself has some skills in using light weapons such as longsword, dagger, and rapier, he can also wear light armor and use a shield.
But compared to this terrifying killing machine, you would be chopped into meat paste in minutes.
By the same token, the thief's role in an adventure team is not to engage in frontal combat, but to be responsible for tasks such as reconnaissance, setting traps, sneak attacks, and poisoning. Its functional role is far greater than combat.
So letting the half-ling Korra fight Warren is basically the same as letting her die.
"Idiot! Instead of sighing here, you might as well use your strongest spell to help." Ruger scolded angrily.
But Kels smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Sos has just added all the arcane and divine spells that can strengthen and protect Davian. He doesn't need my help at all. And with Warren's professional level and the powerful [Dark Blessing] on him, it is enough to offset the effects of most control spells. To be honest, with the spells I memorized today, I have no way to deal with him at all."
"Bah! What a waste!"
The dwarf spat at his teammate with disdain, then rushed forward without hesitation, wanting to share the defensive pressure for the Dragon Knight.
Unfortunately, before he could get close, he saw a huge black shadow suddenly swooping down from the ceiling above his head.
Bang! The unlucky Luger fell to the ground again.
But this time, he was not as lucky as before. The shield instantly flew out of his hand four or five meters away.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a "spider elf" with a humanoid upper body and a giant spider lower body.
This is a loser who failed the test of the spider goddess Rose and was eventually transformed into a cursed form.
In the eyes of most dark elves, "spider elves" are creatures lower than slaves, constantly reminding them never to fail, otherwise they will suffer the same fate.
The spider elf who pounced on the dwarf was obviously a male, holding a sharp scimitar in one hand and a long sword in the other. His brutal and bloodthirsty eyes revealed his naked and undisguised murderous intent.
Ruger didn't have time to think and immediately raised the ax in his hand to try to block.
But the problem is that he only has one weapon, while his opponent has two.
When the scimitar was successfully blocked, the long sword with a cold glow pierced the unprotected eyes like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.
At this critical moment, a sheep's head made entirely of energy crashed over from a distance.
Boom! The spider elf flew sideways six or seven meters away on the spot, its belly, which was as big and round as a spider, was obviously sunken, and blood kept spurting out of its mouth.
Needless to say, this was Zuo Si's decisive use of the Gongyang Ring.
Because if he didn't take action, the sword would probably pierce his eye socket and penetrate his brain.
"Damn it! What bad luck! Why did it have to be at this time? Be careful! The spider elves on the second floor always come in groups!"
Ruger got up from the ground in a panic. The first thing he did was to curse and shout a warning at the top of his voice, while he quickly ran over with his short legs to pick up the shield.
Just as he said, as the first spider elf was repelled, a creepy sound soon came from the passages in all directions around it.
Immediately afterwards, countless black shadows emerged one by one from the ground, walls, or ceiling above.
"One, two, three, four..."
"Oh my god! There are twelve spider elves in total!"
The halfling thief Korra began to sweat profusely due to nervousness.
You know, even under normal circumstances, encountering so many spider elves on the second floor would be very dangerous.
Not to mention that there was a "Death Hunter" Warren who was fighting fiercely with Davian in front of him.
Just when everyone felt helpless, they suddenly heard a voice chanting a spell coming from behind them.
Zuo Si calmly began to wave his hands and perform various complicated spellcasting movements.
Upon seeing this, the dwarf immediately shouted to the other two, "Be careful to protect the spellcaster!"
"Oh no! Left! They are coming!"
The poet Kels suddenly drew out his sword, and with his other hand held a small round shield that could barely protect half of his upper body, and blocked Zuo Si's side.
Luger stood right in front of the enemy where there were the most enemies.
As for the halfling thief Korra, she glanced down at the sword that she saw as a long sword but others saw as a short sword or even a long dagger. She couldn't help but sighed slightly, and took a step forward, mustering up her courage to fight those spider elves that were several times taller than her.
There's no way around it, since halflings are usually only about one meter tall.
Whether in terms of strength or the size of weapons and arm length, they are clearly at an absolute disadvantage.
Seeing the ferocious spider elves rushing up like crazy, the three people present were so nervous that they didn't even dare to blink.
When the spider elf that was rushing closest was less than three or four meters away from Zuo Si, three dazzling lights suddenly shot out from the ground beneath their feet.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, a huge summoning circle appeared out of nowhere.
moment!
Three ogre zombies of astonishing size crawled out of the magic circle.
Each of them held a thick and long stick in his hand, and without saying a word, they started smashing the enemy in the front.
The spider elf was rushing too fast to stop and couldn't block three sticks at the same time.
He barely dodged the first blow, then used the weapon in his hand to block the second blow, and was hit hard on the head by the third blow.
Bang! No surprises!
The ogre zombie's terrifying power knocked the spider elf to the ground and cracked its head open.
The other two ogre zombies followed closely behind, swung their sticks and beat the man to death in just a few hits.
You should know that the strength attribute of the ogre zombie is much higher than when it was alive.
The upper body of the spider elf still looks a bit slender like a drow, so there is no obvious increase in its strength attribute.
Therefore, the result of the close combat between the two is obviously that the ogre zombie has an overwhelming advantage.
What's more, the ogre zombies have thick skin and flesh, and the low-level undead have no intelligence, let alone feel fear.
"No...undead?"
Kels looked at the several huge monsters that suddenly appeared around him and was a little confused.
The sensitive and vigilant half-orc Korra hurriedly stepped back, fearing that she would be hit by the bloody stick by accident.
With her small body, she could probably go straight to see the halfling god of fraud and thieves that she believes in.
"Don't be nervous, they were all summoned by me." Zuo Si explained hurriedly.
These three ogre zombies were cannon fodder summoned briefly through the [Level 5 Summoning of the Undead] recorded in the Book of the Dead.
Normally, [Five Rings Summon Undead] can summon a fifth-level undead creature, such as a mummy, a vampire spawn, a corpse, etc.
You can also summon two level 4 undead creatures, such as pterosaur zombies and wraiths.
Or you can summon three level three undead creatures, like the ogre zombie you see now, as well as giant skeletons and ghouls.
Taking into account the narrowness of the surrounding passages and the lack of meat shields to resist the attacks of the spider elves, Zuo Si decisively chose the most cost-effective ogre zombie.
Realizing that these large undead creatures were "meat shields" summoned by their companions to attract fire, the dwarf immediately understood and hid behind the ogre zombies.
When the next spider elf warrior rushed up to attack, he seized the opportunity to crawl out from between the legs of the ogre zombie, swung his ax and chopped off one of the latter's thin spider legs.
“Ah…
The spider elf warrior screamed in severe pain, and lost his balance and slid to the side.
The ogre zombie seized the opportunity and broke the opponent's spine with a stick.
Luger followed closely behind and completed the "finishing blow" neatly, chopping off the enemy's head from the neck.
The poet and halfling next to them also had rich combat experience. They used the huge size of the ogre zombie as cover while looking for weaknesses to counterattack.
As a thief, Korra took advantage of her small size and often went around the blind spots of the spider elves, then sneaked up and launched fatal attacks.
Almost every attack would inevitably cut into the joints of the opponent's spider's lower body limbs.
When the target loses balance and falls to the ground, she will cooperate with the ogre zombie to kill him mercilessly.
Seeing that these three teammates were reliable, Zuo Si felt relieved and continued to concentrate on casting spells.
After a while, a huge fireball exploded with a bang in front of the stunned gaze of the dwarves, and Davian and Warren were sucked into the fierce battle.
The aftermath of the terrifying high-temperature flames instantly burned several spider elves who were hiding behind and did not take action easily.
When the flames faded, everyone realized that the Dragon Knight was not injured, and not even a single hair or beard had fallen out.
On the contrary, Death Hunter Warren was badly burned.
The exposed face became burnt on the outside and tender on the inside by the flames and was almost cooked through.
Obviously, this sudden fireball angered the dark guard who had fallen into madness, and his red eyes were filled with strong and direct malice.
He suddenly raised the sword in his hand, pointed the skull mark at everyone, and then launched some powerful evil magic.
Just less than a second!
The spider elves closest to Warren began to let out heart-wrenching wails, and then their bodies exploded one after another. The blood seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and poured into the body of this powerful dark warrior.
Fortunately, David was protected by [Protection from Evil] and [Anti-Death Barrier], so he was not seriously affected.
After realizing that something was wrong, he immediately began to retreat.
After a while, all the spider elves who came here after smelling the blood and hearing the sound of fighting were killed.
Warren looked as if he was soaked in blood, with his entire body showing a strange black and red color.
Not only that!
His body seemed to have doubled in size, and the skull pattern on the hilt of his sword was spewing out terrifying negative energy that made one's scalp tingle.
"Blasphemer! I will sacrifice your soul to the great god of tyranny, Bane!"
The Dark Guard's voice always seemed to contain tremendous rage.
"If this statement was said by Mansong or Fuzor Chamberlain, it might have some deterrent effect. But a weakling like you who collapsed into madness upon hearing that the god you served died is not worthy of speaking in front of me."
Even while saying this, Zuo Si always kept a faint smile on his face.
But everyone around could sense a condescending attitude, as well as contempt and disdain for this "Death Hunter".
"Weakling?!"
There was a chilling gleam in Warren's eyes.
"Isn't it?" Zuo Si asked with a meaningful smile. "Look at what Manshoon and Fuzor Chamberlain are doing after Bane's death, and what you, a waste, are doing. They are trying to save Zhentil Keep and Zhentarim from being seized by Cyric's church, and trying to get the God of Tyranny to return by letting believers continue to pray. But what about you? You are here like a psychopath, hunting low-level adventurers meaninglessly. Is it so interesting and fascinating to bully the weak who have no power to resist?"
These words were like a sharp dagger piercing Warren's heart.
He was in a trance for a moment, then he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that your game of slaughtering the weak ends here."
Zuo Si raised his hand and a bright, dazzling beam of light shot out from between his fingers.
The moment this beam of light hit the dark guard, all the protective spells he had cast on himself were instantly stripped away.
Voter's ability: [Advanced Dispel Magic].
Because the dispelling ability of this spell is calculated based on a LV20 priest.
Therefore, even if Warren had the spell immunity ability of [Dark Blessing], he could not resist it.
Immediately afterwards, Zuo Si threw the spellcasting materials (mercury, phosphorus, diamond and opal powder) that he had prepared in advance into the air, and instantly used the power of divine magic to draw a rune containing energy under Warren's feet.
The latter subconsciously took a step back, and the rune was directly triggered.
The shocking explosion sent all this energy rushing into the Dark Guard's body, causing instantly intense pain that could not be described in words.
“Aa…
The heart-wrenching screams could be heard clearly even from hundreds of meters away.
Warren couldn't even stand up. He fell to his knees with a thud, his whole body twitching uncontrollably.
Voter's ability [Badge of Pain].
This spell can cause all living things within a radius of eighteen meters to suffer terrible pain that cannot be described in words.
Even if you leave the area, the effect will last for more than an hour.
Many people who lack strong willpower may even faint from the pain.
However, the willpower of the Dark Guard is obviously much stronger than that of more than 99 percent of people.
And it is hard to say whether he can be considered a "person" now.
After just a few seconds, Warren actually struggled to stand up, enduring the severe pain.
At the same time, the blood-red light of the sword in his hand became brighter.
The next second...
This guy suddenly raised the sword high above his head, and he seemed to have completely lost his mind and gone crazy, roaring like a wild beast.
"No matter who you are! Die now!"
Immediately afterwards, the plasma was ignited by some force during the splashing process, forming the "Hellfire Breath" from the deepest part of Baator Hell.
This is a fire of incredible power and destructiveness.
Anyone who is hit by it will not only have to endure ultra-high temperatures of over one or two thousand degrees Celsius, but will also suffer terrible and evil damage.
Without a doubt!
The souls of innocent people killed by this mad dark guard in the past two years have all been sent to Baator Hell without exception, instead of being sacrificed to the dead god of tyranny Bane.
In other words, he, like those poor deceived creatures, was just a pawn played by the devil at will.
But chess pieces are chess pieces, and the power of "Hellfire Breath" is definitely not a joke.
Even though David was wearing red dragon armor and had a certain degree of fire resistance, his body quickly decayed, aged, and withered the moment he was sprayed, and his flesh began to fester at an unimaginable speed.
But even so, he still did not retreat in the slightest. He held up his shield and stood firmly in front of his master, without any fear of pain and death in his eyes.
In contrast, the original three members of the adventure team were completely terrified, and wanted to pull Zuo Si back with them like crazy.
They didn't think they could survive the burning of such death flames.
Because a few seconds ago, those strong and sturdy ogre zombies didn't even last a second before they were burned to ashes without leaving any trace.
Unfortunately, Zuo Si had no intention of retreating. He simply pushed Korra away, indicating that she should not bother with him.
In the end, the dwarf defender, the human poet, and the halfling thief crawled back to the first floor along the stairs.
After these temporary teammates had completely left, Zuo Si said meaningfully: "Strong strength, excellent swordsmanship, amazing physical defense and magic resistance, large-scale group bloodsucking ability, and the ability to use Hellfire Breath, this is really a good candidate for making a summoning card."
It was obvious that the insane dark guard in front of him was definitely the strongest warrior he had ever encountered, no doubt about it.
If Davidian hadn't cast a lot of strengthening and protective spells before the battle, he would never have been able to hold out for so long.
"Kill! Blood! Death! I will dig out your heart and eat it bite by bite! As long as I can collect enough souls, the great god of tyranny, Bane, will be resurrected."
Warren had obviously lost his mind again, and rushed over brandishing the magic sword wrapped in "Hellfire Breath".
With only one breath left, Davidian tried to stop him, but his almost completely collapsed body was unable to support him in doing so, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The Dark Guard completely ignored the Dragonborn Knight and stepped over him, his two glowing red eyes filled with raging rage.
But the next second, he realized how reckless, impetuous and stupid it was to rashly approach a spellcaster wearing a large amount of magical equipment, especially several magic storage rings.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed from one of the rings on Zuo Si's hand.
Immediately afterwards, three fireballs hit Warren in the face.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Although he had a certain degree of fire resistance under the effect of "Hell Flame Breath", he was not completely immune like the devil.
Before this guy could walk out of the flames, three bolts of lightning hit his metal armor, making crisp crackling sounds.
Under the influence of the fierce electric shock, Warren's body was completely out of control and he could only retreat continuously.
But Zuo Si did not let the other party go easily. He raised his hand and released the five-ring magic [Flame Strike] stored in the magic storage ring.
moment!
A sacred flame filled with positive energy descended from the sky and immediately bathed the evil dark guard from head to toe.
Before Warren could recover from the continuous arcane and divine attacks, magic missiles from the sky drew graceful arcs in the air and hit him like a rainstorm.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! There were both one-ring magic missiles and three-ring missile storms, all released at once through the magic storage ring.
Although the biggest disadvantage of magic missiles is that they can all be blocked with just one first-level magic [Shield Spell].
But after all, like the Ring of the Ram, it also belongs to the "noble" force field damage, and has automatic tracking capabilities, and it is almost impossible to offset it through various resistances.
In the end, after suffering a severe bombardment of magic, even Warren couldn't bear it anymore and half-knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
The full body plate armor on his body, which was blessed by the god of tyranny, Bann, had long been beaten to pieces and was full of dents and burn marks.
The "Hellfire Breath" of the magic sword in his hand also weakened a lot, and was no longer as ferocious as it looked just now.
Needless to say, this ability must be closely related to his own health condition or vitality.
"You... who are you?"
Warren seemed to have regained some of his sanity and asked the same question again.
"My name is Soth, and I will be your master from now on."
While talking, Zuo Si took advantage of the opponent's weakness and used [Poison Attack], one of the Chosen One's abilities.
The moment the spell was completed, the little devil, who had remained invisible all the time, suddenly appeared behind the dark guard at his command and completed the prerequisite for the spell to take effect - close contact.
The terrible and violent poison took effect on the spot!
Warren, who was already seriously injured and under the effect of the [Badge of Pain], could no longer hold on and fell headfirst to the ground.
The damage caused directly to his physical attributes by [Poison Attack] was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing his vision, consciousness, and thinking to become extremely dull and blurred.
He tried several times to grab the two-handed sword that fell beside him, but failed to lift it.
Faintly, the dark guard seemed to see Zuo Si walk straight up to him, then take out a strange card and spit out two words.
"seal!"
moment!
An extremely powerful barrier enveloped him from head to toe, even the fallen two-handed giant sword was not spared.
Although he tried to mount a final resistance, all of them failed without exception.
Gradually, Warren's entire body turned into a ball of light, getting smaller and smaller, until it completely disappeared.
At the same time, a large amount of text and instructions appeared on the cards in Zuo Si's hand.
[Creature Card: Human (corrupted by the power of Hell) — Cursed Black Guard]
[LV6 multi-color card (upgradeable)]
[Card Quality: Rare]
[Effect: Summon a cursed dark guard named Warren to serve the planeswalker.
He has the occupation level of LV7 Fallen Paladin/LV10 Dark Guard.
However, because he fell into madness and slaughtered innocent people and devoured the hearts of his victims, his soul was cursed with an extremely terrible curse, and both his mind and sanity fell into madness.
Please note that when using this card, Warren may suddenly lose his mind during the battle and no longer obey orders, but instead launch an indiscriminate massacre like a madman without control.
With the exception of planeswalkers, anything living could become his target.
If you want to lift the curse, you need to permanently consume a magic card with a level of no less than LV3 and a purification attribute.
In addition, Warren also masters many advanced combat skills, such as "Power Attack", "Cleave", "Powerful Cleave", "Combat Reflexes", "Mastered Critical Attack", "Mastered Initiative", "Weapon Focus Two-handed Sword", etc., and wears a large number of magic equipment.
Including the "Tyrant's Armor", a +3 full body plate armor mixed with a small amount of refined gold, which comes with permanent protection against goodness, and provides an additional five points of strength attribute and twelve points of magic resistance.
"Helmet of Iron Will" can make the wearer immune to all charm and mind control spells.
"Dragon Boots", immune to knockdown, immune to fear, spell resistance increased by ten.
"Agility Belt", increases agility attribute by four points.
"+3 Protection Ring", provides additional armor value and physical defense.
"Weapon Expert Gloves" allow the wearer to be more proficient in using various weapons (increasing attack speed, damage and hit rate).
"Amulet of Grace" allows you to cast the fourth-ring spell "Divine Power" once a day.
"Purgatory Sword (Cursed)", this is a +4 two-handed giant sword, which not only has the characteristics of large-scale group bloodsucking, but also can restore the vitality of the holder through killing, and temporarily improve the strength and physical attributes.
It can also capture the souls of victims and sacrifice them to the devils in exchange for the right to use "Hellfire Breath".
When used against good-aligned creatures, this weapon acts as a +6 magic weapon.
This sword is exclusive to Warren and cannot be used by anyone else.
[To use this card, you need to pay five red mana and ten black mana, or fifteen universal mana.]
[When the summoned Cursed Black Guard is killed, the card automatically enters the graveyard and waits for rebirth for ten days]
After reading the entire description, Zuo Si immediately pursed his lips and smiled, commenting: "Except for the disadvantage of being easily out of control, everything else is quite perfect. It seems that this card is very suitable for use when there are many enemies."
Putting away the cards in his hand, he immediately walked to Davian's side and began to chant spells without saying a word, casting powerful spells such as [Heal Fatal Wounds] and [Heal Severe Wounds] one after another as if they were free.
After only about half a minute, the Dragonborn Knight, who was half breath away, climbed up from the ground.
Although he still looked a little weak, it was clear that he was no longer seriously injured.
The severely burned, aged, withered and decayed body is also revitalized by the repair of positive energy.
It has to be said that the magic of the continent of Faerun is really effective.
No matter how serious the injury is, even if the head is smashed by a hammer, as long as the brain, eyeballs and other things are stuffed back and pieced together to make sure there are no missing "parts", a five-ring [Resurrection of the Dead] can pull them up and continue to adventure alive and well.
As for healing spells, they don’t care about internal or external injuries, they can just be cast directly on the body and that’s it.
"How do you feel now?" Zuo Si asked, staring into Davian's eyes.
The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's terrible. My body feels like it's about to fall apart. Master, I don't understand why the fire released by Warren can hurt me? Shouldn't I be completely immune to fire damage?"
"No, what Warren used was not ordinary fire, but [Hellfire]. This demonic fire comes from the deepest part of Baator Hell. In addition to the high temperature of fire, it also brings with it an equal amount of foul damage. Your body is constantly aging, withering and rotting under the influence of the foul damage." Zuo Si explained patiently.
This incident also reminded him that he should never take any kind of energy attack lightly.
Because it is difficult to tell with the naked eye whether the flames released by the enemy are ordinary flames, "Hellfire Breath" from Baator Hell, or "Sacred Flame" carrying positive energy.
"Filthy harm? I see!"
An expression of sudden realization appeared on Davian's face.
He had wondered before why the flames gushing out of Warren's sword could hurt him, but now he finally understood.
While the two were talking, the dwarf Ruger, who had just run to the first floor, came back bravely.
When he saw the walls and ground in the passage melted by the "Hellfire Breath", his eyes widened in shock. He looked around vigilantly and asked in an uncertain tone: "What happened just now? Why is the Death Hunter gone?"
"Don't look for him anymore. I've already killed him." Zuo Si gave a straightforward answer.
"What! You killed Warren? Where's his body? This guy's head is worth 30,000 gold coins!"
The thief Korra, who had been lurking in the shadows, couldn't help but jump out immediately.
Looking at this halfling who was less than a meter tall, had twin ponytails and always gave people a very cute, playful and funny feeling, Zuo Si smiled and handed over the holy emblem of Bane, the god of tyranny, and said: "The body was destroyed by magic. But I think this is enough as proof."
"Oh my God! This... this is the holy emblem that Warren wears on his chest! With it, we can collect the reward of 30,000 gold coins!" Kels danced excitedly.
Like all bards, he had a tendency to brag and spend money recklessly.
And he really likes to seduce married women.
So the expenses have always been quite high.
If you can get a share of several thousand gold coins at once, then you can get all those difficult targets that you have been eyeing for a long time.
Just as Kels began to imagine the wonderful scene of "sleeping together in the same quilt", the dwarf Luger immediately interrupted his fantasy: "We can't take this money! Because the three of us didn't contribute anything in the battle, we are not qualified to share the bounty at all."
"No! That's not right! We did contribute! At least we helped kill some spider elves!" the poet argued back.
"Are you sure you killed the spider elf yourself instead of following the ogre zombie to take advantage of it? Okay! Don't embarrass me! You should not have forgotten our rules, right?" The dwarf stared at Kels and questioned.
The poet felt a little guilty after being stared at, and he hung his head and replied, "Of course I remember. I must take not a penny less than what I should take, and not a penny more than what I shouldn't take."
"Very good! It seems you still remember." A satisfied expression appeared on Ruger's face.
Unlike his peers who gradually became cunning and valued money as their life after going out on adventures, he never gave up his bottom line and principles as a dwarf.
"Alas - it seems that those lovely young women will have to wait for me for a while." Kels sighed helplessly.
Korra took the opportunity to tease, "I bet! If things keep going like this, you'll probably die in the maze of underground cities before you die in them. If I remember correctly, the last time you were caught cheating, you jumped from three stories high and almost broke your leg."
“Hahahahaha!”
When the dwarf heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Damn it! How many times have I told you this! It was just an accident!" the poet roared in anger.
Seeing the three people arguing and looking very close, Zuo Si finally gave Bane's holy emblem to the halfling thief and took the initiative to suggest: "I think it's not appropriate for me to take all the bounty. How about this, I'll take 25,000 out of the 30,000 bounty, and the remaining 5,000 will be divided among the three of you. Besides, I've only been in Waterdeep for a short time, and I have no idea where to claim the bounty."
"Are you sure? We didn't help at all just now, and we even ran away at the most dangerous moment." There was a hint of surprise in Ruger's eyes.
Because he had seen countless adventurers fighting against their companions for wealth and treasures, but he had never seen anyone offering money voluntarily.
Zuo Si nodded seriously: "I am very sure. Besides, turning around and running away just now was actually the right choice strictly speaking. Because what Warren used was not ordinary fire, but [Hell Flame Breath], a terrifying flame containing foul evil power. If you hadn't run away, you would all have turned into ashes by now."
Zuo Si was not angry at all about the three people's escape just now.
After all, it is human nature to fear death.
When you find that the enemy is too powerful to be defeated, it is absolutely normal to run away.
And when the half-ling Korra was running away, she didn't forget to drag him along with her.
What's more, the dwarf finally led the team back to take a look at the situation at great risk, which can be said to be the utmost he could do.
Teammates like this are definitely good people among all the adventurers who have gathered here as monsters and demons.
"Damn it! I feel embarrassed when I hear you say that." Ruge's old face turned slightly red.
"We are teammates. Understanding each other is the minimum we must do. By the way, my guard was seriously injured just now. Although he has recovered a lot after treatment, he no longer has the strength to continue fighting. We urgently need to find a safe place to rest."
Zuo Si took the opportunity to ask for camping.
Because after healing the Dragonborn Knight, he had basically used up all of his healing magic.
Although there is a healing wand that can be used at critical moments, resting your spell slots and divine spell slots is the ideal option.
"No problem! We just happen to know of a dwarven temple on the second floor that can provide us with a relatively safe place to rest."
Luger agreed without even thinking about it.
Because it's not just Zuo Si and David who need a rest.
There was also the bard who had used a lot of illusion magic in the previous battle.
There is no other way! Although the power of arcane and divine magic is amazing, a spell can often turn the tide of victory or defeat at a critical moment.
But once it is used up, it can only be restored by sleeping for up to eight hours.
Just like that, the group of five sat there and rested for a few minutes, then quickly got up and continued on their way, walking through the intricate maze on the second floor. Along the way, they inevitably encountered some hunting teams of goblins and dark elves.
These guys have no intention of communicating at all, so a fight is almost inevitable.
The fighting lasted for more than two hours before we finally arrived at a secret door hidden in the crack of the wall.
Because the lane was too narrow, the larger dwarves and Davian could only move forward sideways, bit by bit.
After passing through the narrow passage, an ancient dwarf temple exuding a mysterious atmosphere appeared in front of everyone.
