"Something is wrong. 'Mural' appears a little too early!"
The fierce magical battle between the scorpion man and the Witch Queen.
It is behind the Throne of the Dead, in a dark cave extending downward.
A beautiful woman with an enchanting temperament frowned slightly and then looked to one side, the black-robed Drow who was vaguely the leader of the crowd here.
"Nothing is wrong!"
"This is normal!"
"If I don't notice anything unusual at all, I would have to wonder if something is wrong!"
"After all, they are Halast's apprentices, and they are in the Lost City of Earth. If they didn't know that we had prepared well in advance, they would have been eliminated long ago!"
The black-robed drow, in the shadow under the hood, has a pair of eyes darker than darkness, with deep evil and deeper magic.
His words... the monster woman's heart stirred: "What do you mean, he is just a bait, and there are other people in the 'Seven' who are also paying attention here? Waiting for us to send them out ourselves?"
"That's exactly how it should be!"
"It's hard for them to wait. It's time for us to cooperate with them!"
The black-robed Drow made a faint sarcastic voice, and turned his eyes slightly to look at the dark cave, a branching passage: "Harris, it's your turn!"
Respond to his voice.
The cave, which was originally completely dark, suddenly burst into green light.
There was a burst of laughter and weird laughter.
Immediately afterwards, even the enchanting woman had surprise in her eyes, and she obviously didn't know that these things were lurking here.
One after another, they look like flying skull heads, but they are as empty as illusion. The entire skull is shrouded in strange green fire. The eye sockets are inlaid with emeralds. In the extremely evil aura of death, endless malice lingers.
Flashing.
And just one of them flew out...
"skull!!"
"wrong……"
Be it the enchanting woman or the "Hand of the Eye", the other leaders of the Aiknansa Guild, and even the hobgoblins, their eyes could not help but shrink to the extreme.
This form...the skull of Skull Harbor!
But the next moment, the monster woman was still too sensitive.
Although the thirteen burning skulls in Skull Port are also burning skulls with green flames, with her arcane skills, she can still faintly detect some differences between the two sides.
Those in Skull Port, any one of them, is something that a beholder owner should treat with caution.
And these here...
"It's just a pure undead creature, the 'Burning Skull'!"
"But when did they lurk here?"
"Is it related to Scripps or the illithid..."
The enchanting woman's eyes jumped, and then she quickly put away all her expressions, only frowning secretly in her heart.
In fact, she did not support this action and directly challenged Leyline Maze... Even if drow wizards and illithid lichs were involved, she could not estimate the chance of winning.
But... there is no way, these two people are negotiating directly with the beholder owner!
The master of the beholder personally issued the order, so naturally these "hands of the eye" had no choice but to cooperate!
As soon as the thought of the monster woman flashed, nine flaming skulls flew out from the dark cave.
It was obviously the leader of these skulls, the green flame skull called "Harris" by the black-robed drow. The jaws opened and closed rapidly: "Quack, I finally don't have to be buried in the ground anymore. I can finally speak."
"Scripps, why are you in charge?"
"Why should we listen to you?"
"No one can order us to work without a direct order from the master!"
"That's right, only the master can order us!"
"It's okay if you don't give me money, we want emeralds!"
"A big bag of emeralds!"
"quack!"
"whee!"
A pile of burning skulls, all talking, can't wait to echo "Harris".
"If you don't want to move, you can continue to rest."
"Whether the Witch Queen dies or not has nothing to do with me."
"I was also wondering why the Witch Queen was persuaded by the 'Frost Seal'!"
There was a cold mockery in the eyes of the black-robed drow.
Although Judu was pointing towards the Lost City of Earth, his purpose was different from that side.
In fact, in his eyes, the "Eknanza Guild", even the Eye of the Elder, is more reliable than that.
The reason why we cooperated there...
The reason why the Aiknansa Trade Union is also involved...
The root cause is those thirteen people, and they have decided to act in unison for the time being!
Unanimously...pointing to the ultimate mad mage!
"Frost Mark?"
The black-robed drow's words made most of the people in the Aiknansa Guild just puzzled. Except for the enchanting and beautiful woman, her expression changed at this moment, and she couldn't help but feel shocked.
Frost mark!
Plamon - "Frost Mark" - Rakeshk!
The former proud student of the Black Staff Archmage, it is said that his achievements are even comparable to that of "Malcho Harpel"!
However, it seemed that he had conducted research on "black magic" and launched a fatal spell attack on the "Successor Black Staff", and was finally expelled from Waterdeep City by the Black Staff Archmage.
Not only the drow wizards, not only the illithids, but this one is also secretly involved!
In fact, judging by what he said, he personally persuaded the "Witch Queen"?
The enchanting woman Ai Varina suddenly felt that it was no wonder that her beholder master had changed his "house demon" nature and fully mobilized the power of the union. I am afraid that this time the layout of the Earthline Maze City was far more than just
That's all she can see!
"Hey!"
"Still so incapable of taking a joke!"
"Hey!"
"Still so clueless!"
"Hey!"
“Just leave it to us!”
A group of burning skulls were all humming in unison.
Those emerald eyes full of malice showed a uniform look of disgust.
This collective "contempt"... is the indifference of the drow wizard, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Gone! Gone!"
"The old guy is so angry!"
I don't dare to neglect or provoke anymore. More importantly, as the most loyal servant of "Frost Seal", "Harel" knows that the "Witch Queen" can't really die!
The person behind the "Witch Queen" also has an important relationship with the master's plan and layout!
"Harel" shouted, and the nine flaming skulls suddenly flashed with green light, and accompanied by a burst of hip-hop sounds, they flew out of the dark cave like meteors.
"Sir, who are these guys?"
After watching them disappear, Aivarina's eyes flickered slightly and looked at the black-robed drow again.
Although she already knew the identity of "Shuangyin", she still pretended to be completely unaware of it.
Even if "Frost Seal" really shows up, she will still give priority to cooperating with this person.
After all, the beholder master's order is for them to obey his orders and infiltrate the Earthline Maze City.
"Entanglement Talisman!"
The black-robed drow slowly spit out a name.
He has no need to keep secrets there!
In particular, he wants to join the "Skull" sequence. At the Skull Port, it is time to use people like the Aiknansa Guild!
Talisman!
Involuntarily, most of the people behind him could not feel anything, but the expressions of three people in the "Hand of Eyes", including Evarina, changed dramatically.
Dark organizations and evil forces are also divided into three levels.
Their "Eknanza Guild", because of the great Eye of the Elder, is already quite powerful among the dark organizations.
In the early years, it even had the potential to replace the Shadow Thieves of Amn and the Bloodhand Fortress and fill the vacancies in the "Thieves' Guild" in Waterdeep City.
But, if you want to compare it with the "Entanglement Symbol"...
Maybe in terms of reputation, because there is enough secrecy there, they may be more famous on the ordinary level.
But if they are really brought together... let alone what outsiders think, it is the three "hands of eyes" who feel weak in their hearts just after hearing their names!
“No need to be too nervous!”
"It's enough to do what you should do!"
"The Entangling Talisman is just a southern faction and can't interfere with our Skull Port!"
"Get ready!"
"With these talkative people out, it's time for the people behind Mural to come out."
"Let's see how many of them come!"
A timely command from a drow wizard.
Several people from the "Hand of the Eye" quickly made arrangements.
With the hobgoblin tribe as the commander, the groups of goblins in the dark cave are more orderly than the thieves in the union.
In just a moment, this place was completely in a war-like state.
…
At the same time.
Still in the "Magic Pillar Hall"!
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
Sitting casually with his back against a "Devil's Pillar", Isaac's eyes were still narrowed, but he was counting a few numbers in his heart.
It was the count of "three"...
Even if you open your eyes, you can't directly see a certain direction.
A three-person adventure team hit the "point" with "accurate" accuracy.
Immediately, his eyes still converged, but...for the first time, it was in this "Magic Pillar Hall", and under the background of interference that the "chaotic radiation" still existed, in Isaac's silently diffused spiritual power, again
It was from the ceiling of the hall, but this time it was no longer without any ripples. His spiritual will keenly penetrated the "radiation background" and accurately grasped a chaotic fluctuation.
With the emergence of this chaotic fluctuation, a...
"The Enchantress!"
In the mind's will, this is a large demon that is fifteen feet tall.
However, it just came out...
"Illusion!"
Isaac's spiritual will once again penetrated the interference of chaotic radiation and grasped the spell fluctuations on the demon.
Unexpectedly, he transformed into a human race and still a woman.
Then silently, like an upside-down spider, it turned from the ceiling directly to the back of the adventurer team, and climbed down from a demon pillar.
The Bewitching Demon should be considered a high level among Tanar'ri!
However, although the name is "Mistress", it sounds similar to "Succubus".
However, unlike the succubus's charm that does not distinguish between races, the appearance of the succubus is animalistic and ferocious, and is a pure and incomparable characteristic of a tanar'ri demon.
Of course, they will be "respected" and "seduced"... Compared to direct destruction, this kind of high-level tanari prefers to lure the wish-maker to fall by "fulfilling" the wish of the wish-maker.
into the abyss of destruction.
For example, if the wish-maker wants wealth...perhaps the Bewitching Demon will give the wish-maker gold coins infected with the blood of the dead through a massacre, and will also deliberately guide the wish-maker to discover this reality.
.
Or, if the wisher wants a long life... maybe when he wakes up, he will find that he has become an undead creature and will never die naturally again.
Of course, that's not what Isaac is focused on.
It doesn't matter whether it's a Bewitching Demon or a Balor Fire Demon. It doesn't make any difference to him.
He only cares about...
"Although they are all united into one, the four-layer chain magic circle is still just a magic circle after all. The 'magic barrier' of Earthline Maze... can draw an 'approximate sign' between it and Hellast."
!”
"Just as I judged."
"The 'Magic Barrier' of Earth's Lost City is quite consistent with the real 'Elven Mystery Lock', or at least, with the 'Elven Mysterious Lock' I am thinking of!"
"However, it should be higher than the 'Elven Myth Lock', and at the same time, it is inferior to the 'Myth Lock Seed', or to be more precise, it is inferior to the 'Myth Lock God'!"
At this time, Isaac did not have a complete grasp of all the essence of the "Four-layered Chain Array".
After all, the scale of this magic circle requires separate analysis one by one, continuous combination, and finally the overall integration. This investment of time will definitely not be small.
But... his direction of thinking is not limited to local individuals.
Since the entire array and its final direction are the hidden aspects of the "Maze of Earth" itself...
He simply made a reverse deduction of the "formation" from the "higher level".
And, most importantly...
After realizing, or at least guessing, that the "magic barrier" of Leyline Maze has penetrated Halast's own concept of "chaos", and to a certain extent, it has been essentially sublimated in the direction of "chaos seeds"...
With his own theoretical system, the ideological essence of the legendary seed, combined with the same ideological and conceptual nature of the outer plane...
He has always had unique expertise in negotiating with "gods and origins"!
Even though there is no clear individual soul here, he can refer to it and shape himself...
However, at his current level, there is no need for this step, and he can still find another way!
For example, the "four-layered continuous magic circle" in front of you is just a way!
Reversely, this is a general analysis of the magic circle!
The forward direction is to truly negotiate with the "magic barrier" through the magic circle!
Once this line of thinking was straightened out...the theory, or at least the conjecture, gradually became clear.
Not even a day, just most of the day.
First, through the "four-layered magic circle", the mind and will were initially involved in the "chaotic radiation".
And then through the soul, using the "heavenly light wheel" in the soul, the chaotic direction of the "four-layer magic circle" is carried out as a whole...
Gradually, even if there is no need for the magic circle here as an intermediary, as long as he is focused enough, his spiritual will can directly perceive the "chaotic radiation" within the area to a certain extent.
Of course, it’s just “perception”!
Even, one must be sufficiently restrained!
after all……
When the will of the soul can penetrate into the "chaotic background", he not only confirmed the conjecture of "equivalence" between "magic enchantment" and "Helast", but also determined the "magic enchantment" and "elven mystery lock".
"The consistency between" also makes it more clear... Helast's incurable "madness" is also more clear!
The chaotic nature of this person... even tends to the chaos of the "Sea of Chaos" to a certain extent!
If ordinary people are exposed to his ideas, their souls will be eroded immediately. At least their souls will be damaged. If it is serious, it is natural for them to be equally crazy.
However, Isaac is certainly not an ordinary person. Not to mention Hellast's concept of "chaos", he has not come into contact with the chaotic origin of the "Chaos Sea" once or twice.
However, it is precisely because Hellast is much smaller than the Sea of Chaos...
Isaac has a clear enough feeling in his heart that if his spiritual will actually invades the "chaotic radiation" background of the "magic barrier"...
That crazy mage must be on alert immediately!
Being crazy doesn't mean that the crazy mage has really lost his vigilance!
Simply speaking, Isaac is not in a hurry, especially since he can only watch and refer to the mad mage's "chaotic ideas". What he pursues has always been his own ideas.
He just hid in this "Magic Pillar Hall" and continued to study alone.
Until, another visitor arrives...
Then, he naturally included these visitors in his research subjects.
However, it was when the adventurer team came under the observation of the Beguiled Demon and he was observing them from a higher level...
"Um?"
Abruptly.
Due to the chaotic radiation background of the "magic barrier", a quite large-scale shock...
