Henry, who was in a sea of magical items, was almost dazzled, with a dazzling array of amulets, boots, hats, headbands, rings, staffs, robes, gloves, etc. "He is truly one of the richest mages in Faerun," he sighed silently. After two hours, he walked out with an amulet and a pair of boots, and after bidding farewell to the master of the mage tower, the group immediately hurried to the entrance of the castle below. On the way, Henry carefully examined the details of the two magical items.

Boots of Speed: The "Cheetah Claws" are enchanted boots owned by a killer who kills without blinking. He loves to hunt down his targets, and because of his speed, even the victims on horseback cannot escape his pursuit. Slowly, the killer's prestige spread, although no one knew his real name, but everyone knew the last words heard by the victims: "You can hide, but you can't escape!" ”

After seeing the attributes, he changed into his boots and put on the amulet, and it didn't take long for the orc warrior to notice that Henry was walking much faster than usual. He looked up and looked at it suspiciously. "Head, why did you suddenly speed up?"

After stopping, Henry turned around and pointed to the boots on his feet and said, "The Boots of Speed, the magic item you just got from Kelburn's warehouse, I think you've heard of its name." Right now, I can't control the speed very well, so I'm going a little fast. ”

Vaughn's eyes lit up, looking down at his inconspicuous boots, with an envious expression. "This is a good pair of boots, I've seen someone wear it in the Northlands before and kill a bear goblin leader and then fly away, and the rest of the monsters can only stand there and shout and can't catch up with him."

Henry saw the orc's burning gaze at the boots and felt that his wish should be granted. "The enchantment of these boots isn't too complicated, but it does require some magically tolerant leather. Later, when I return to the Mage Tower, I will make you a pair too. ”

Vaughn laughed happily when he heard this. "Head, Xie Lu Xie, I can't wait for what you say."

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the entrance to Yamashita Castle. It was a spiral staircase that stretched down the luke, and the five fingers could not be seen inside. Debra picked up a small rock on the ground and threw it down, and it took a full five minutes before she heard an echo of the landing. "It's a deep hole, and it looks like we're going to have a long flight of stairs."

Henry blessed Vaughn's axe with a light spell and said to him, "Vaughn, you take the lead, I'm in the middle, and Debra, you follow the most of you." The orc warrior nodded, and walked down the spiral staircase without saying a word, and the two people behind followed closely. Henry walked down the stairs as he observed his surroundings.

This place was in the time when Waterdeep City had not yet been established, and Hyraste. The black robe had already begun to excavate the huge underground ruins. He summoned and captured all kinds of monsters, built a vast labyrinth, and eventually piled up countless treasures inside. It attracts a large number of adventurers every year. Countless people have used their bravery and lives to please this crazy mage. To Henry, he was simply the perfect combination of sanity and madness, more like a legendary archmage than Kelburn and Ilminster. As for the red-robed, the Shadow City, and the Masked Mage Guild, among others, they have deviated from the original purpose of magic and have become a political tool.

After a long journey, they finally finished the stairs and stood at the bottom of the ground to look up at the entrance above, which had become an inconspicuous little bright spot. Henry took a deep breath and said to the other two, "From now on, be vigilant, this is the legendary castle full of monsters. Try not to speak unless necessary, we use sign language or mouth shape to communicate. ”

Debra pulled a ribbon out of her body and tied her hair up, she took out the cross bow made by Henry, hung the bowstring, loaded the crossbow arrow, and held it in her hand. Once everyone had made their preparations, the orc warrior walked to the front with his glowing axe. Everyone is kept at a distance of about five meters, which can be used to quickly rescue people in case of danger and prevent everyone from stepping on the trap together. The three of them walked cautiously along the cave, in the dark underground, and they couldn't hear a sound at all except breathing, which made people feel very depressed.

I don't know how long the road has been walking, maybe only a few hours, maybe it's been a day. Suddenly, the orc warrior in front of him crouched down, and he turned his head and made a gesture to stop his advance. The two men behind cautiously leaned over, and Vaughn pointed to a cave in front of him.

Henry looked closely, there were many creatures about a meter in it, they had black scaly skins, and even if they were so far away, they could smell a smell of stinking gutters. These guys have bright red eyes and two small brown horns on the top of their heads. Henry quickly identifies the identities of these little monsters, kobolds! There are at least a few hundred of them, and maybe some kobold warlocks among them. After thinking about it for a few minutes, he decided to attack strongly, after all, most kobolds were very weak in combat, and there was still a long way to go, so he couldn't waste too much time here.

He turned around and gestured to attack his two companions, before chanting the incantation. The orc warrior rushed out of the city after receiving permission to fight, and he cut down a piece in an instant with two axes in his hand. The kobolds behind reacted quickly, throwing their spears and javelins in their hands, but these didn't have much effect on Vaughn in full body armor.

Soon Henry's spell was completed, and a "monster immobilized" body fixed a large number of kobolds in place. Then Debra's fireball technique exploded in the middle of them, and large swaths of kobolds were blown into a blur of flesh, and charred corpses and entrails flew everywhere. Vaughn followed his path into the cave and suddenly shot a "Toyoo Acid Arrow" from the depths of the cave and hit his helmet. The orc warrior took off and tossed it aside, and in a matter of seconds, the strong acid corroded a large hole in the helmet and injured a little of the skin.

"There are three kobold warlocks here!" Vaughn shouted behind him. Hearing his words, Henry immediately rushed over and released a flash spell into the cave, and the three kobolds were instantly stunned by the strong light. The orc warrior rushed over and cut off the heads of two of them, and Debra pierced the eye of the last warlock with a crossbow arrow. After killing three kobold warlocks, the rest were mostly old and sick, and when they saw the leader dead, they dropped their weapons and fled into the depths of the mine. Henry didn't pursue, he simply searched the tribe's warehouses and seized a little Mithril and two dozen gems.

Vaughn touched his scalp burned by acid and said to Henry, "Head, my helmet is broken." ”

"Here, this is the last one. I only brought a spare set of armor. Henry took out his helmet from the dimensional belt and threw it over.

Vaughn put on his helmet and slapped it twice. "The size is just right, I hope this will last longer."

Debra looked down at the acid-corroded hole in his helmet. "I advise you to be careful and not to pursue it lightly. There are many monsters at the bottom of the mountain, which are captured from various planes and have a thousand strange spell-like abilities. There's no way to protect yourself by clinging to a piece of armor. ”

The orc warrior nodded. "I've learned this very well now, and I'm going to be very careful about the rest of my journey."

"In that case, let's move on, hopefully we won't run into other monsters. Otherwise, even if we have a month, we won't be able to catch up with the Mage Tower in Hyraste. After saying that, Henry and the group continued to hurry.

It didn't take long for them to encounter a new problem. A large metal door appeared on the way. The orc warrior hit it hard a few times and found that it couldn't be opened at all. "This gate must be locked, can anyone tell me what is written on it." Vaughn turned back to the two mages behind him.

Debra stepped forward and gently touched the words carved in front of the door with her hands, and after a while she said to Henry, "This is the ancient Nesser's writing. It means that the road to the past is about to be opened, and the eye of the giant is the key. The blood of the black dragon is the way. ”

Henry's eyes widened. "You mean there's a black dragon nearby! And there's a giant! Oh my god, Hylast really does a trick on adventurers. ”

The mage nodded. "Follow the hint above, these two creatures are around here. We have to get both of these things to get through. The door was filled with powerful magic, and ordinary mages would not even dare to crack it. ”

Vaughn gripped the axe tightly, he took a few deep breaths, turned his head to Henry, and said, "Head! Are we going to slay the dragon? ”

Henry's brow tightened, and he looked into the eyes of the orc warrior. "I'll try to get dragon blood without fighting, but black dragons usually don't have a good temper, and they're very fond of sneak attacks, so you'd better be prepared for battle. Be careful with acid spitting, as a little bit of it will instantly corrode your bones. ”

Vaughn nodded. "All the barbarians in my homeland aspire to have a great battle to gain honor, and the dragon slayer is undoubtedly the highest rank among them. This is the best test for me, and I will not regret dying in this battle. ”

"But I hope everyone survives, and don't do stupid things when fighting." Henry reminded when he saw his somewhat flushed face with excitement.

The orc warrior thumped his breastplate a few times. "Don't worry, I want to continue to follow you on adventures. The battle was nothing but a majestic beginning. Now let's find out about this dragon first. With that, he turned around and took the lead towards the fork in the road on the left.
