Leaving the Thieves' Guild, Henry rushed to the Mage's Tower, where he needed to turn what he had gained from this adventure into power. Entering the hall on the first floor, he saw Debra lecturing to the apprentices, and Henry winked and motioned for her to hurry up. Then I went to the workshop alone. The mage quickly finished her lesson, and she gave the apprentices some tasks and followed. Henry poured out a large amount of dragon blood, dragon skins, and dragon bones, including some ores and rare materials purchased in Waterdeep. Sorting these things into categories and placing them on the shelves, he began to prepare some magic items.

"Is there anything wrong with the master calling me in such a hurry?" Debra asked with a puzzled face

Henry sighed and looked at her sternly. "The Arcane Brotherhood has sent someone again, this time in larger numbers, and the head of the operation is a senior member. According to Robert's intelligence, they still have golems with them, and we must hurry up and prepare for them, and we must completely eradicate them before they can take root. ”

Debra's body stiffened visibly at the name of the Arcane Brotherhood, and then she rubbed her brow vigorously. "It must have been my former mentor who came up with this plan. According to the internal rules of the Brotherhood, whoever has a problem with the task must solve it himself. ”

"Do you have any specific information about him? For example, the level of the mage, the school of specialization, what is the name, whether there are weaknesses and so on. Henry heard that Debra knew the mage who led the team, and hurriedly asked.

The female mage took a deep breath. "His name is Anthony, a fourteenth or fifteenth level spell master. All I know is that he likes young and handsome teenagers very much, and I don't know if that's a weakness. ”

When Henry heard this, his whole body began to chill. Goosebumps on the skin. He really didn't expect this archmage to be a, which was a bit appalling. After gathering his thoughts, he said to Debra, "Okay. Now at least we know his casting level and specialization school. You go and call Amy in a moment, I have something to ask her. Also remember to inform Asembu and his Barbarian Guard to be on standby. I'm afraid they'll need to come to war this time. ”

Debra nodded. "Got it, I'm going to give them the order now. Vaughn and Hawke need to be notified, after all, one of them is the mayor and the other is a powerful warrior. ”

After thinking for a moment, Henry accepted her proposal. "You were very thoughtful and informed them all. Remember to tell Hawk not to act rashly, just let him control the city defense army and maintain the appearance of law and order. Debra bowed slightly, then turned to leave the workshop, and soon arrived at the library. Amy was lying at a desk quietly reading a book, and she had spent almost all of her time except sleeping since she moved into the Mage Tower.

"The host asked me to inform. He's waiting for you in the upstairs workshop. In addition, we are in big trouble this time, and the Arcane Brotherhood has sent a mentor to personally infiltrate the city of Bluwent. Debra walked up to Amy and said to her sternly.

Amy was taken aback, and immediately stood up and nodded. "Got it, I'll go upstairs now." With that, she put down the book in her hand and ran away from the library. Debra also left the Mage Tower immediately, and she still had a lot of people to be notified one by one.

Henry is currently making a staff that summons monsters, which can summon random creatures to serve the wand bearer. In order to make the summoned monster even more powerful, he chose a dragon bone as the main body. Then begin to carve magical textures on the surface of the staff. Amy ran in just in time to see Henry carving the keel, and she slowly walked to the side and sat down and waited.

Twenty minutes later, Henry finished his work, put down the tools in his hand, turned his head and asked, "Amy, did your brother send a batch of gray dwarves recently?" ”

"Yes. I put them all in the basement. Now Taling Cortana is under surveillance twenty-four hours a day to prevent them from escaping. Amy replied by standing up.

Henry nodded. "You go and bring them all to the workshop now, I need them to build something."

Amy's eyes widened and asked, "All two hundred people brought up?" I'm afraid there won't fit that many people in this workshop. ”

Henry patted himself on the head. "You go down and pick it. Bring all the blacksmiths among them. If you don't cooperate, I'll allow you to use some violent means. ”

Amy stroked her hair and laughed. "These gray dwarves are obedient, after all, this is a mage tower. They understand their situation. With that, she walked out of the workshop and went to the lowest floor of the tower.

A few minutes later, Amy reached the last level beneath the Mage Tower, where more than two hundred gray dwarves had simply expanded it. as your own residence. Seeing Amy's appearance, they immediately stood up and bowed, and the first one came over and asked, "Dear lady, do you have any instructions for coming to us?" ”

Amy looked at the dwarves, and most of them, except for a few women, had healed their wounds. She said to the temporary chief, "The master has returned, and he now needs a group of skilled blacksmiths to make something." ”

The chief shuddered when he heard the word master, and he asked cautiously: "We only have sixty good iron-strikers here, I don't know if we can meet your requirements?" ”

"Let them all come along, the master is waiting in the workshop now." With that, Amy turned and walked up the stairs, and the dark environment underneath her was uncomfortable. The leader of the gray dwarves hurriedly beckoned his blacksmiths to follow.

By the time they arrived at the workshop, Henry had finished summoning the monster staff. He cast a discernment spell on his staff, and specific information came to mind.

Summons Monster Staff:

This staff summons random monsters that appear within the radius and attack the user's enemies. Monsters will not despawn for the duration of the validity period, unless they are killed. They despawn when they die. If there are no enemies to fight, the mage can communicate with them, and the summoned monsters can provide other services to the mage.

Special Abilities:

Effective distance: 6.5 meters

Duration: Two minutes

Number of uses: one hundred

He waved his staff a few times and placed it on the workbench, then turned and asked, "Are these all the blacksmiths?" ”

Amy frowned at her nose and smiled. "According to the chief, these are all the good hands."

Henry smiled at her cute expression, and he turned his head to look at the gray dwarf leader. "Now tell me your name, and what are these blacksmiths under your command good at."

"Dear master, my name is Tenoben. Most of the blacksmiths here are skilled in crafting weapons and armor, although we may not be a bit good at magic forging. The leader of the grey dwarves knelt on the ground answering Henry's question, and he didn't even dare to lift his head. Tenoben had previously served the mages of the Dark Elves, so he knew that these mages were usually not very good-tempered, and that if they were upset, they would end up worse than death.

Henry was pleased with the attitude of the gray dwarf in front of him, and he took a drawing from the table and handed it over. "Here's a blueprint I drew of a giant crossbow, can you make it?"

Tenoben took the drawing with both hands and looked at it on the ground for a while. "Great master, I need to discuss it with the other blacksmiths, and I don't know if I can get your permission."

"Yes, but quickly, I need to do my best to create a finished product now." Henry nodded in agreement.

Tenoben ran to the gray dwarf blacksmith behind him with the drawings, and they began to discuss the various numbers and designs on the drawings. Five minutes later, he walked over with the drawings. "Master, if this giant crossbow is made of wood, I'm afraid the range won't be too far. If steel is used, then the string is a difficult problem to solve. ”

Henry pointed to the other side's material. "I have a few dragon's tendons now, so you can make me a sample of Mithril mixed with steel. In addition, the crossbow arrows need to be specially made, and they must be carved with a specific pattern, and I need to enchant them. The first batch of 20 pieces was built in the county. I'll let Amy give you the pattern later. ”

"Your will is the direction of my actions, and we will do our best to create a sample." Tenoben knelt down with all the gray dwarves and said.

Hearing the words of the gray dwarves, Amy almost burst out laughing, Henry glared at her and said to the blacksmiths, "Alright, I'll give you permission to use Workshop 2 now, and I'll get whatever you need here." Everybody stays there for the next few days to catch up with work, and I'll have the golem deliver the food."

Tenoben bowed and began to instruct the others to lift the steel block and Mithril, and finally they took a dragon tendon. After the gray dwarves left, Henry gave Amy a note. "Now you give this to Robert right away, and tell him that this is the information of the Arcane Brotherhood's leading mage, and let him see if he can use it."

Amy took the note and put it close to her. "Master, do you need me to stay with my brother and help him?"

Henry shook his head. "No, you can't do this kind of thing. Leave it all to Robert, who is now a very experienced leader of thieves. Amy thought for a moment and felt that this kind of intrigue was really not suitable for her character. She saluted Henry and turned away from the Mage Tower to go to her brother's Thieves' Guild.
