Waterdeep, a metropolis known as the City of Glory, has stood on the continent of Faerûn for a full thousand years. It is not a place where the Black Rod can cover the sky with one hand.
The previous 'Iron Throne' had much stronger control over Waterdeep than the Black Staff, and exceeded the endurance of the people of Waterdeep. In the end, the powerful leader had no choice but to escape underground and live with the drow.
Now it seems that everyone obeys Kelben's words and doesn't even care that his actions have brought countless enemies to Waterdeep City. That's because over the years, under Kelben's leadership, Waterdeep City has indeed taken over
Lots of great deals.
Even in the Silver Moon Alliance, due to Kelben's strength and Alustriel's concession, Waterdeep City has received enough benefits.
For these benefits, even if they offend other cities, countries, and even elves, these people in power behind the scenes actually acquiesce.
Your own interests are the most important.
But this does not mean that when the elves really come out in full force to cause trouble for Kelben, others will be willing to help share the burden.
Kelben's strength is indeed very strong, and behind him stands the magic goddess Mystra. It is true that ordinary forces cannot offend him.
But are Corellon and his elves weak?
When Mystra resurrected Kelben, didn't she let Corellon directly attack the Kingdom of God?
If AO hadn't stopped it, there might have been a divine war!
Who wouldn’t be afraid during those days in Faerûn! If these two gods fought, the entire continent might be annihilated together.
Fortunately, in the end, everything returned to ordinary confrontation.
No one cares anymore.
When the black rod offends the elves, you should know what the consequences will be.
The revenge of the Chaos system is inherently unrelenting, and it has nothing to do with which camp you are in.
So when a large number of elves appeared in the city next door, the smart people in Waterdeep knew that the current scene would inevitably happen.
But no one expected that the elves would start from the greedy city guards and directly stand on the right side.
And the elf lady who stood up to speak didn't mention the past at all, but every word was meaningful.
These forces were actually very puzzled. The elves were all around, but Kelben didn't care about the city guards. Didn't his nephew and son stretch their hands very long?
You can actually hand over such a big deal, who dares to help?
Kelben could either follow this man's words and kill the city guards in public, or he would have to carry them on his own.
Others won't help.
However, the reason why the City Guards of Waterdeep City have become what they are today is originally related to the Black Staff Tower. They want to eliminate dissidents in Waterdeep City, so naturally they cannot have a competent patrol of city guards.
Otherwise, let’s talk about what happened to those elves recently?
Isn't it just because they have stayed in Waterdeep City for a long time that they want to pull the Black Staff Tower, which is hostile to the entire race of elves, from the position of lord?
There was such a fierce battle, but no city guards came forward, and it was called an internal gang fight.
Those elves don't know whether they died or escaped, but the property left behind was divided among the city guards themselves!
It’s only natural that Corellon would seek out Mystra!
That has turned into real hatred.
If Kelben cannot bear it, there will be nothing wrong with most of the forces in Waterdeep City.
This guy is a bit too arrogant. If the elves resist him, they will end up like this. What about them? If Kelben continues to be so arrogant, the days when he was suppressed by the "Iron Throne" and cannot stand up will come again.
Moreover, if Kelben falls, even if most of his rich assets are taken away by the elves, the remaining bit will be enough for many people to live happily and prosperously.
As long as they remain neutral, many forces will not think that the elves will attack everyone.
The attitudes of these forces are actually too obvious.
Hill did not believe that those warriors and knights who gave up their defense were paladins of the good camp and needed to be responsible for their beliefs.
But it is true that more than half of the people put away their weapons and stood aside.
And the remaining small group, judging from the performance of those city guards, were originally their masters.
Many paladins standing nearby were looking back and forth in surprise. It was impossible for them not to recognize who these armors belonged to.
The city guards of Waterdeep have never been good people, and it's hard to tell who is worse than the long-established gangsters in the city.
But no one knows who is behind their extortion.
This incident happened suddenly. The high-level warriors behind the scenes did not expect that their companions standing with them would just walk away, and as a result, they were exposed.
They were also surprised to see some of the people who were colluding with them, wondering why they chose to watch.
Everyone in Waterdeep City should know how powerful Kelben is in the magic tower!
The people over there could only smile helplessly.
Both parties were exposed together.
But they had to do this, otherwise, they would be tied to Kelben's chariot.
It's one thing to make money together, but it's another thing to work hard for Mystra's voters.
Who doesn’t have a god behind him?
The evil god is also a god!
The paladins moved their steps, not wanting to stand with these two groups of people.
They all don't know the city they have lived in for so long, and they don't quite understand who their past companions were. Paladins can only take up their jobs by adhering to the path of lawful and good, but they really have not participated in these secret activities.
thing.
But many paladins are recalling whether they did anything small for their former companions.
For them, this is a big trouble that affects their future. It is probably because of these small things that they have not been promoted for many years.
The undead crossed their chests and looked at everything in front of them coldly, with contemptuous smiles on their faces.
Hill thinks that the mage named Flumastir is not an accomplice of Kelben.
Otherwise, these soldiers would not be given so much time to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.
Sure enough, a figure flew over quickly: "Flumasteel, what are you doing? Are you letting so many elves watch Waterdeep City split?
If you don’t know what to do, don’t interfere!”
Hill couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The people of Kelburn are really arrogant!
This Flumastir is wearing the standard robe of a learned mage, which is an advanced profession that can only be transferred to a 17th-level mage.
And the one who flew out was obviously just an ordinary mage.
A low-level mage pointed it in the face and scolded him so arrogantly. Is it shameless for a great mage?
"Haha." Flumastil's face was obviously angry, but he held it back.
He gently floated to one side: "These matters should not be handled by me as a pharmacist. Now that you are here, you can handle it yourself! This should also be your Black Staff Tower's matter."
The people in Waterdeep understand very well why the elves find trouble with them.
Everyone heard Corellon's anger.
"How shameless~" 'Demon Sword' said with emotion on the side, "You are so angry, why don't you just kill him? A mage of such a high level is so cowardly!"
Hill just watched silently.
This is the real mage. Of course his first reaction was anger, but he suppressed it in an instant.
A level 17 mage is indeed very powerful, but Kelben, who is at least level 34, is standing in his own magic tower, which is enough to suppress any resistance.
‘Chirp Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai Wai’ said very clearly: “His level must not be high, otherwise why would he help guard the gate? He is at most a little taller than us, and there is no numerical advantage. He must be afraid of the black staff!”
Hill was silent for a few seconds and then slowly said: "Your scroll scholar is very similar to his advanced profession in the later stage. He is a learned mage, not the kind who is good at combat. He mostly refines potions and makes scrolls.
Runes and the like.
There are many mages like this in Waterdeep City, but there are actually very few with strong combat capabilities, and most of them are in the Black Staff Tower."
The two undead nodded together: "Who can I beat?"
Hill shut up. There is actually nothing wrong with the undead's argument. If Flumastir could defeat the black staff, he would have sent this arrogant boy to Mystra with a staff.
The mage was stunned. He had no right to speak directly on this matter.
Although everyone knew that Kelben was resurrected, he actually could not leave the magic tower at all.
Although Corellon used the method of summoning elves from other worlds to resolve the dispute with Mystra, it would not develop into a divine war.
But that doesn't mean he will give up and kill Kelben directly.
Especially in the newly built city of Aglaia next to it, there are Seraphs from Corellon!
As long as Kelben dares to show his face, Seraph will definitely transform into Corellon.
Moreover, Kelben offended not only the elven pantheon.
When Waterdeep City auctioned the eggs of the five-color dragon, Kelben offended all the dragons.
No one knows where the invisible and colorless Five-Colored Dragon Queen will appear.
Those who can find her are either metal dragons, or natural mages and druids... These two types are either elves and goblins, or have elf blood. Even if they are humans, they must have an elf teacher.
They were all offended by Kelben.
Kelben is probably still cursing the being who exposed his resurrection to Corellon, right?
Hill felt that he might be suspicious of the mage god. After all, Mystra wanted him to replace him as her strategist.
Hill hoped he would curse more.
Sharko has never been a broad-minded being. Even if she knew that Kelben had recognized the wrong person, she would not hesitate to think that the Black Rod was cursing her.
Hill stared at his fingers and sighed softly.
Although he was annoyed by Kelburn, what this guy did did not exceed Hill's bottom line.
He would never be able to do it, he would fight to the death for this little thing.
He has already taken revenge, and the rest should be left to the undead!
Hill had long heard from businessmen passing by that the price of beef and mutton in Waterdeep City had risen six times as much as before, and the small nobles were already eating chickens and ducks.
