Chapter 221: The Occupation of Iron Mines (Part 2)
Jasila asked a few questions about the Iron Throne and let the grumpy dwarf go. The group continued to clear the remaining enemies on this level, and it was not until they had killed the last guy guarding the warehouse that they made their way up the stairs to the last floor. As soon as he stepped out of the stairs, a heavily armed guard came up and shouted, "Who are you?" Why does it appear here? ”
"We've come to Davarn to talk to you about the Iron Throne. If you don't want to die, you'd better get out of the way. Apodell threatened, waving his shackles.
The guard scoffed. "Hah! Another bunch of fools who don't think they can do anything. Davann doesn't like to be disturbed by strangers, so I have to send you to death. With that, he stabbed Ammon with his sword, who looked the weakest.
Khalid reacted quickly, shielding the attack. Then the poor creature was hit by spears, two-handed swords, swords, chains, and magic missiles at the same time. Not only was the entire head opened, but other parts of the body were also severely punctured.
Apodell spat at the corpse. "Phew! See who's the fool who doesn't think about it, and any obstacle that stands in my way for revenge will be completely destroyed. With that, he walked quickly ahead of the corpse.
Suddenly, there was a click on the ground, and several magic missiles were launched from the ground, all of which hit Apodell in the back. The armor did not have the slightest protective effect, and he screamed and half-knelt on the ground, blood flowing down the crack. Henry quickly cast a second-level magic "Detection Trap", and two red marks flashed on the ground in an instant.
Ammon quickly pulled out his kit and ran over to dismantle the magic trap on the ground. However, she doesn't seem to be very proficient in her craft. I tried several times in a row without success. Just when the girl was a little annoyed. A man's voice came from within. "Don't waste your efforts. at your level. Even a hundred more attempts won't solve the magic trap I placed with my own hands. ”
Following the sound, the group saw a man in a gorgeous robe with a bald head and a long beard at the end of the corridor. He slowly stepped out of the shadows with his cane, looking at everyone with contempt. "You persevering adventurers have finally found this place. You've managed to sabotage the Iron Throne's plans a few times, but that's the end of that luck. ”
Heng looked at the mage with a playful look, then stood up and asked, "You must be Davane." I'm curious what benefits the Iron Throne promises to make so many people die for them? ”
"The benefits? Of course! They promised to build me a mage tower if the plan was successful. As for you, just give me my death! Davann waved his hand. I saw two huge armors with red eyes rushing out of the corridor behind.
Apodell poured a bottle of healing potion and let out a loud gulp, picking up the flail and slamming it on one of the heads. Only a "bang" was heard, and the entire helmet was smashed flat in an instant. But the armor didn't care, got up from the ground, brandished its fiery sword and continued to attack. He was taken aback by what he saw, because there was no one in the armor.
Davann quickly blessed himself with protective magic and laughed loudly, "How is it? The power of the Dreadmon Armor isn't bad. Don't worry, I'll send you to the Grim Reaper with a spell right away! ”
"These two scrap copper and rotten iron are your reliance? It seems necessary for me to show you the truly powerful spellcaster creation. Henry sneered and turned the golden book into a golem. The Adamantite Golem strode over, turning the Dreadarmor into pieces of iron with three punches and two kicks.
Davalen was speechless in shock. He knew very well what kind of spell casting level and resources it would take to create such a golem, and such a mage was no match for himself at all. Henry saw the frightened expression on the enemy's face, and immediately released a "dimensional anchor" to lock the surrounding space.
Looking at the rapidly approaching Adamantite Golem and the space that had been firmly locked, Davann wisely gave up his resistance. He lifted the protective spell on his body and shouted, "Stop this damn golem!" I give up! ”
Just in case. Henry first let the "Roll Crate Golem" behind him walk over first, and put it on the mage with the "Paralyzing Touch". He then stripped him of all his magical items and scrolls before leading the others to jump over the traps on the ground and get closer.
Apodell kicked the slick Davann and said to the others behind him, "This guy is really spineless. He surrendered as soon as the battle began. ”
Henry explained as he rummaged through the scrolls on the ground. 'Davann is different from his previous opponents. He is a mage of no low level, and he can see the difference in strength between the two sides at a glance. Moreover, the mages of the evil camp have no loyalty at all, and when things are not good for them, it is wise to turn around and flee or surrender. ”
"Okay. Although this guy is a selfish bastard, it's always good to avoid a fight. Apodell shrugged, and then began to look through the scrolls on the ground as well.
It didn't take long for Jasila to pop up some letters of contact. As you can see from the date above, the Iron Throne's planning began a few years ago. Not only had they already prepared their strongholds, but they had also infiltrated the Seven Suns Business Alliance. Looking at these dense plans, everyone felt a chill welling up in their hearts. They immediately woke up Davann and began to ask for some details about the plan. Without hesitation, the mage of the evil camp betrayed the Iron Throne and poured out everything that knew the Dao.
When Apodell heard that the enemy was trying to take control of the United Council, he immediately shouted angrily: "Damn it! We need to hurry to Baldur's Gate. If these guys get their hands on us, they're going to turn us all wanted. ”
Ammon shook his head and objected. "What about this iron mine? It's the only place in the region where iron can still be produced. If we leave, the men of the Iron Throne will soon send someone to reoccupy it. The poor people out there will soon be slaves again, and they will not be able to get out of the forest on their own. ”
"So be it. You stay here first, and I'll go to Anta with the captives and the evidence. Duke of Silver Shield. It won't be long before the people who take over the mine arrive, and we'll be able to get out of here. Henry, taking advantage of the fact that the others were struggling, came up with a compromise.
Jasila nodded. "That's a good idea. But try to be as fast as you can, we don't have much time to waste. ”
"Don't worry. I used spells to teleport straight over and didn't waste a bit of time at all. With that, Henry had Spellcaster One paralyze Davaln again, and then threw the dimensional bag containing the winged dragon's head, gold, and loot to Apodell. In the end, he inspired a "group teleportation technique" to cross the portal directly and came to his mansion at Baldur's Gate.
"What people! How dare you trespass into the private residence of Earl Henry! "One of the guards spotted two people and a golem that appeared out of thin air in the courtyard.
Henry took off the hood he had been wearing on his head. To prevent others from recognizing him, he covered his face with a hood from his cloak during his adventures. The guard instantly recognized his master and immediately bowed. "I'm sorry, Lord Count. I didn't recognize you just now. ”
Henry smiled and waved his hand. "It's okay, and you did a really good job. Now go and inform the housekeeper here, and quietly send an invitation to the Duke of Silver Shield. I'll just say that I'm here tonight to invite him to a light dinner with Lady Brila, and that there are other important things to discuss. ”
"Yes, I'll go and inform the butler." The guards saluted and immediately ran into the house.
Henry placed Spellcaster One and the captives in the basement and activated the "teleportation" to the mountains east of the Coastal Avenue. Through a prophetic spell, he quickly found a group of robbers who were eating. A massacre ensued, and in less than a minute, the two dozen robbers in the entire camp were all turned into corpses.
After some searching, Henry found an enamel brooch on the leader's body, on which was engraved with Eddard. The name of the silver shield. This should be the relic of the unmasked nephew, and I believe that with this, the negotiations will go much smoother tonight. However, to increase his convincing power, he cast several language spells again, and finally found the remains of a young man in the middle of a team of rotting corpses.
The corpse had begun to decompose, and many parts of the body had been eaten by wild animals and birds. However, the face can be vaguely recognized, and the characteristics of the male of the Silver Shield family. Henry examined it carefully and confirmed that the corpse could no longer be resurrected, before using a coffin handle.
Now you can save Eddard. The only spell of the silver shield is the "Wishing Technique". However, there are only a handful of archmages who can use ninth-level spells near Baldur's Gate, and none of them can be touched by the Duke of Silvershield. Henry took the coffin and activated the "teleportation technique" again and returned to his mansion. Placing the coffin in the basement, he immediately ordered one of the valets to deliver a letter to Robert at the Elven Song Hotel.
After doing all this, Henry went to the bathroom where the hot water had been prepared and began to take a bath. The steaming heat of the water relaxes his whole body, and he is exhausted by the constant fighting and traveling during this period. Adventure is not as good as the bard says. Not to mention sleeping in the open along the way, I have to keep one eye open even when I sleep. If you accidentally encounter bad weather, such as thunder and rain, then wet clothes and mud all over the ground can make you not even have the strength to scold.
Now, all the efforts have finally been in vain. All the pre-work is ready, and as long as an agreement can be reached tonight, then the next step is to get your hands on it. Hope Anta. Silver Shield can get acquainted, otherwise he would have to kill him together. Although this will arouse suspicion from others, it can only be done in order to keep it a secret.
