Chapter 244: Poisoning
Looking at Ramassis, who was standing next to the elemental pool and going berserk, Henry cast a fifth-level spell "Cracking". The power of the magic instantly stripped the necromancer of the protection, and immediately followed by the launch of the "Spell Matrix", the explosion generated by the two second-level divine spells "Flame Trap" instantly knocked it to the ground.
Henry, who was still in a state of invisibility, saw that the enemy was still trying to struggle to get up, so he rushed over and smashed Ramasis's head with his cane. Immediately after killing the Necromancy, he searched the corpse and the warehouse inside the Mage Tower. Not only did he find a few magical items, but he also got a copy of the Book of Clarity of Thought.
Activating the magical energy on the Book of Clear Thoughts, Henry immediately felt that his brain was a little smarter again. After tampering with the supreme control of the Mage Tower, he immediately closed the door on the first floor and directly used the "teleportation technique" to return to the study of the Earl's Palace.
Now the whole city is in chaos. According to the news that Robert has just sent back, last night Apodell and his party made a big fuss at the Flame Fist headquarters. Not only put Angelo. Dawson's newly recruited mercenary killed a man on his back and managed to escape the pursuers who came after.
Burning the information in his hand, Henry identified two magical items that were still valuable. Concrete information was quickly available.
Ring of Powerful Guardian: "Ring of the Guardian"
The Guardians are immortal guards who are sent to protect Princess Arcana's tomb. After countless times, the tomb was forgotten with the decline of the royal family. Many adventurers began to stir up the tomb, and there was no doubt that the defenders would be defeated in the end. When he was defeated. The ring he wore would be one of the many treasures to be removed from the tomb.
Equipment Capabilities:
Strengthens both physical and magical defenses
Spell Buff Amulet: "Amplifier"
The purpose of the spell buff amulet is to enhance the caster's abilities. Therefore, it has become a treasure sought after by spellcasters. Originally, the item was created by a mage named Iredlin who lived in the Star Mountains, and he created the magic item to play with women, and it did exactly what he wanted to do. The item was later taken by another more ambitious magician, but the reason for the change of hands is still unclear.
Equipment Capabilities:
The second-level arcane slot is plus one
Henry casually put these two magical items in the dimensional bag, ready to give them to her as a gift the next time he sees his sister. After all, they are all pretty good magical equipment for low-level mages. After a brief breakfast, Henry took a shower and went back to his bedroom to rest. After all, he had been talking to Duke Silvershield all night. Without adequate sleep, spells and magic cannot be restored.
Just as Henry was falling asleep, Apodell and his party were in big trouble. It is known from a thief who calls himself Roshanda that they have now been infected with a special toxin. The antidote must be found as soon as possible, or everyone will die immediately. Jasila examined it with magic and found that the thief was not lying. Moreover, this poison is added to a special formula, and the detoxification magic cannot be neutralized at all, and it must be targeted antidote.
"Damn! If I catch the poisoned guy, be sure to break his neck. When Apodell learned of this, he cursed fiercely.
Luo Shanda sighed slightly. "Your immediate task is to remove the command from me, so that I can disobey Mark's orders and deliver the antidote to you."
"Oh. Oh my God! You're actually controlled by a spell. Dinah Black had a shocked look on her face. As a mage, she knew exactly what it meant to be commanded.
Roshanda smiled wryly and nodded. "You're right. Lady. The people of the Iron Throne used a powerful spell that forced me to do things for them. ”
Amon asked with some curiosity, "Then what should be done to break this spell?" As far as I know, magic like this is so powerful that even killing the caster isn't necessarily useful. ”
"Yes. But it's not impossible. It is said that there is a powerful soothsayer in the center of the city, and you can get some hints from him. For the time being, I can only say so much for the time being. If you find a way to get rid of the spell, come to me at the Knife and Star Hotel. With that, he waved at the crowd, turned around, and disappeared into the shadows of the street.
Jasila frowned and said, "It seems that we can only do what he says, otherwise we will all die once the toxin attacks." ”
"So what are you waiting for? I have a headache at the thought of having something in my body that could be fatal at any moment. With that, Apodell stood up and straightened his gear, and immediately headed towards the center of the city.
Carefully avoiding the patrolling soldiers, they crept into the tent belonging to the Prophet. As soon as they entered, they heard an ethereal voice ringing in their ears. "Welcome! Now hand over fifty gold coins, and then say what you want to know. Remember, you can only ask one question a day, and if there's anything else you want to know, come back tomorrow. ”
Following the direction of the voice, everyone saw an old man with lost eyes and a wrinkled face. Apodell hurriedly took out fifty gold coins from his waist bag and placed them on the table, and then asked, "We now want to know how to remove the spell on Roshanda's body. ”
"Ahh A soul unwilling to be enslaved yearns for freedom. Dock...... Temple...... The High Priestess ...... "The old man's eyes seemed to see through the tent to other distant places. After a few minutes, he finally came to his senses. "Go to the main hall of the water queen and find the high-ranking priestess Jia Lansha. Mismi, she has an artifact scroll on her that she can crack. ”
After receiving the accurate information, they thanked the old man, and then hurried to the dock area without stopping. On the way, Jasila issued a warning to everyone: "Be careful when you get to the temple in a moment, the goddess of the sea and her priest are notoriously hot-tempered. Don't get angry no matter what excessive demands she makes, otherwise there is a good chance that she won't be able to get this magic scroll. ”
"That's right. Ambori is a chaotic and evil goddess of the sea, and we are likely to be slaughtered, so be prepared. Dinah Black said to Apodell with a serious expression. She was frightened by the Son of Baal's constant loss of control.
The latter smiled wryly and nodded. "Don't worry, I'll keep my emotions in check. Luckily, Henry gave us a large sum of money not long ago, and I think we should be able to satisfy these greedy priests and their goddesses. ”
As soon as they entered the gates of the magnificent temple, a priestess of Amberi came up to them and shouted, "Stand still! What is the purpose of your coming to the temple? If you need to make a sacrifice to the goddess, I don't have the patience to talk nonsense with you. ”
The priest's bad attitude caused Apodell to feel a surge of anger rushing through his brain, but he endured it in the end. He gritted his teeth and bowed slightly. "Hello, attendant of the Great Goddess. We are here to find the High Priestess Jalansha. ”
"Huh?! Want to meet a high priestess? Yes, but first you have to pay homage to the goddess, I think you should understand what that means. The priest had a greedy look on his face.
Jasila grabbed the son of Baal, who was already flushed with anger, and pulled out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket. "Here are fifty gold coins, I think that's enough to show our respect for the goddess."
"Hmm...... All right. Wait here for a while, and I'll go and call the high priestess out. Remember, be humble here, or she will be able to drown you if you anger the goddess even if she hides in the desert. With that, the priestess turned and walked towards the inside of the main hall.
A few minutes later, a woman with long black hair walked over unhurriedly. She looked at Apodell for a moment, then a playful smile on her face. "It was a real surprise. The fact that an heir of the King of Slaughter has appeared in the temple of the goddess of the sea, let me guess that you must be in some trouble, right? ”
The woman's words immediately aroused everyone's alarm. Apodell sighed slightly and replied, "You must be the High Priestess Jalansha. Mismi. I've heard that you have a scroll that can disarm the commanding technique, so make a price for it, as long as we can afford it. ”
"Haha Sorry, the gold is good, but it's not what I wanted. Jia Lansha shook his head with a smile. She circled around the Son of Baal a few times, and suddenly leaned in and whispered, "If you want to get this magic scroll, go to the temple of Lady Luck and steal a copy of the Book of Understanding for me." Remember, don't touch the words on the book, or the book will turn to dust. ”
Seeing Apodell's stunned appearance, Jia Lansha waved his hand proudly at everyone and walked quickly into the depths of the main hall. Leaving Ambori's temple, everyone looked at each other and sighed in unison. Stealing from the temple is tantamount to offending the face of a god, and if discovered, there is a high risk of being cursed directly by the god. No one with any sanity would do such a thing, but if they didn't have access to the book, they wouldn't be able to get the magic scroll, and they wouldn't be able to get the antidote to the toxin.
Since there was really no other solution, the people had to go to the temple of Tymorrah (Lady Luck). Apodell was reckless, but not stupid. He planned to talk to the owner of the book to see if he could buy it with money. After all, they now have plenty of gold on hand, and most of Lady Luck's priests are in the good camp. I believe that as long as the explanation is clear, the other party should not sit idly by and watch himself die of poison. After a brief search, the group quickly found the holder of the Book of Understanding.
