While the entire Duchy was undergoing extensive construction and reform, Henry took the Terminator and the Roll Golem to a village called Ugus Hudzh, north of Baldur's Gate. It's a small fishing village full of bizarre legends, and he's here to clean up a few missions. Especially the Tower of Durag, where you can get a lot of experience.

As soon as he entered the village, a middle-aged man with a thin face and no eyebrows noticed Henry. He quickly walked over and performed a mage salute. "Hello, dear sir. I don't know if I can disturb it, but I need help now. Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Shandara and I am a mage who lives here. ”

"No problem, please say it. As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse. Henry made a deaf gesture as he spoke. He knew that this should be the task of finding the cloak, and it was not too difficult, but it had a lot of experience.

Shandara nodded with a smile. "Thank you so much. I have a cloak lost on a frozen island, and I hope you can help me retrieve it. There were some animals endemic to cold regions, and a few mages who weren't very nervous. Of course, I won't let you do it for nothing, there are a lot of magic items out there that you can collect as payment. ”

Henry secretly laughed at the somewhat picky mage, who was typical of wanting the horses to run fast without giving them grazing. However, for the sake of experience, he agreed. Shandara pulled out an enchantment stone and used her magic to teleport Henry to an island surrounded by a sea of ice.

After observing the natural surroundings and the white bears basking on the ice in the distance, Henry immediately determined where he was. This is the northernmost sea of ice floes in Icewind Dale. He came once when he killed the White Dragon. Blessed yourself with a spell against the cold. Then let the Terminator go into the cave and be responsible for opening the way.

Inside the cave is an underground labyrinth that has been carved out. On the wall, there is a torch that has been blessed with "Immortal Flame" for every dozen meters. The ground is all crystal clear ice bricks. Although I don't know who the builder of the path is, the spell casting level must be more than sixteen.

Walking along the tunnels of the labyrinth, you soon encounter a pack of winter wolves. These poor fellows were scrawny and looked like they hadn't eaten in a long time. Henry could see at a glance that the wolves were already hungry and crazy, and there was no way to communicate with each other, so he directly asked the Terminator to rush up and kill them all.

After the killing, Henry had the Terminator sow the skin of the Winter Wolf. After a simple cleaning, all of them are stuffed into the dimensional bag. He also planned to use these precious furs to make some coats for his two children. After a while. The siblings, along with their mother, are coming to settle at Baldur's Gate. It was much colder than the city of Bruwinter, and the first winter was always especially difficult for two children who grew up in warm conditions.

After collecting the winter wolf's fur, Henry continued on his way. It didn't take long to meet three fully guarded mages around a corner. One of them cautiously stood up and shouted, "Hey, new kid." Tell us how you found this. It's best not to lie, I just felt the fluctuations in space. ”

"Why don't you tell me your story first, maybe I'm stuck here like you." After saying that, Henry shrugged his shoulders and made a very helpless expression.

The mage looked up and down with suspicion for a moment. When he noticed Henry's age, he spat and cursed, "Phew! Another trapped fool. This place has some kind of magnetism. If your mana is strong enough to cast a teleportation spell across the sea, then. The mana will have some kind of connection with the underground gravity, and the caster will be trapped there. This damn island will capture energy! If you want to live, learn to eat seabird eggs first. ”

"Who built this place? And for what purpose? Henry asked with some curiosity. Because the whole maze is already equivalent to a small maze, and the escape conditions set are also interesting.

The mage scratched at his hair in annoyance, then swept it around with a malicious look. "Who built it? Sorry, we don't know. Maybe it's just a joke by a god, or some ancient proving ground, but it certainly doesn't rule out a natural phenomenon. But we built this underground tunnel to pass the time of boredom. Remember, if you want to stay sane here, you'll have to find something to do for yourself. After all that nonsense, now call out all the magic gear on your body. ”

Henry saw a greedy look in the eyes of the three mages, presumably trying to collect enough magical items and escape beyond the island's restrictions. He sneered and snapped his fingers, and the Terminator rushed forward. Not to be outdone, the three mages immediately activated the "Accident Technique" and "Spell Sequence" to protect themselves with magic.

But they underestimated the capabilities of the Terminator. Ignoring the flaming flame shield, this terrifying magical creature smashed the head of an unblessed "stoneskin" mage with a single axe. Henry quickly prepared the fifth-level magic "Cracking Technique" and directly stripped the other mage of his protection, and the Roll Box Golem took the opportunity to drain the already small amount of vitality in his body with the touch of damage.

At the end of the day, a mage noticed that the situation was not good, and turned around and wanted to run. Henry chanted a spell aloud, and a huge circle began to emerge from the entire frozen ground. When the entire spell was completed, a violent wave of negative energy surged into the mage's body, directly bursting his body. Blood and scraps of flesh flew everywhere, and the entire wall was stained red. This is his latest mastery of the eighth-level magic "Death Seal".

After killing the three already insane mages, Henry found two staves and some jumbled notes on them. Once he had packed the loot, he continued his exploration. Along the way, he met several more spellcasters who were trapped here, but these guys were obviously crazy, and none of them could communicate well.

In desperation, Henry had no choice but to abandon the dialogue, and along the way implemented the policy of striking first and attacking later. With the help of the Terminator and the Roll Crate Golem, most of the mages were caught off guard and were cut off their heads in an instant. Later, in a gloomy cave, he found the corpse of a mage. From the relic beside him, he found a cloak full of magical fluctuations. After a brief identification, he found that the cloak had a very powerful magic attached to it. Not only can it increase two points of intelligence and a level 4 spell slot, but it can also defend against physical attacks very well.

After obtaining the cloak, Henry immediately returned to the ground and activated the enchantment stone in his hand. But an accident happened, and the amount of magic power in his body actually had some kind of connection with the island, and the magic energy on the enchantment stone did not work at all. Seeing that he was also trapped on this strange island, he did not panic, but calmly thought for a while, and then summoned a pterodactyl to ride up.

The pterodactyl grabbed the Terminator and the Roll Golem with claws and flew off the ground with difficulty. After about a kilometer away from the island, Henry gradually lost feeling the strange magnetic field. He activated the Barrier Stone again, and the power of his magic teleported him and the two magical creations back to the Ugus Stubble. As soon as Shandara saw the portal appear, she immediately ran over and asked, "How is it?" Found my cloak? Give it to me! ”

"Of course I did, but I'm going to give it to you for something. You've been hiding a lot of the truth from me, and you'll know that I'm almost trapped and can't come back. Henry stared coldly at Shandala. If this guy can't give a satisfactory answer, he doesn't mind killing one more mage.

Shandara frowned. He didn't expect the mage in front of him to be so difficult, if he couldn't get a reasonable reward, it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to get back the precious magic cloak. After thinking about it for a while, Shandala decided to exchange it for the magic items she had. After all, that cloak was very important to him, especially the attribute of increasing intelligence, which could make it easier to learn and study magic.

Henry, for the sake of this guy's sincerity, returned the enchantment stone and cloak. This short adventure resulted in an evil archmage's robe, a neutral archmage's robe, magic scrolls, three wands, and potions. After packing these things, he made a beeline for the only inn and tavern in the village.

Here Henry meets a dwarf who is recruiting adventurers. Through conversation, I learned that this name is called Hogan. The dwarves of Stonebre wanted to retrieve the Soul Snatcher of their ancestors, and this weapon was hidden somewhere in the Tower of Durag. He didn't hesitate to take on the task, and was given a dwarven runestone engraved with a special symbol.

In addition to this one, Henry knew that he needed to find two other pieces in order to enter the underground of the Durag Tower. Over the next two days, he hired several fishermen to go around buying stones with special symbols. A few days later, the second runestone arrived.

Now that all the preliminary work was ready, Henry began to head south with the Terminator and the Roll Golem. Since he hadn't been to the Tower of Durag before, there was no way to use magic teleportation. After a week of eating and sleeping, I finally came to this place full of legends.

The Tower of Dulag is home to the famous dwarven hero Dulag. Built by hand, the Thunder Axe contains not only numerous treasures and magical items, but also countless death traps. It is said that a group of Mind Flayers coveted the wealth of the tower and used shapeshifters to infiltrate and kill and replace his family. Although the dwarven hero got rid of the monster, he also went crazy because of it. He sealed the whole tower and secretly hid in the corner and wept.

After all these years, no one has been able to unlock the secrets of the Tower of Durag. It has now become a mecca for sightseeing, and many people come to visit this ancient tower. Although the underground part is hidden, the few floors above ground are also enough to satisfy most people's curiosity.

As soon as he arrived at this place, Henry felt a strong tourist atmosphere. A few vendors have even set up stalls not far from the Tower of Durag, selling all sorts of tourist souvenirs, weapons, armor, arrows, potions, and everything else that can be used on the adventure. He really didn't know whether to admire the boldness of these people, or to ridicule them for asking for money and not dying. (To be continued......)
