Chapter 154 Sneaking into the Magic Crystal Tower
"We must find a way to sneak into the Magic Crystal Tower tonight and deal with Kessell before the sun rises the next day." Drizzt said with a serious face. He and Imric stood on the top of Kane Mountain, looking at the monsters at their feet.
The army and the huge magic crystal tower.
Imrik nodded. He guessed that the magic crystal tower needs to absorb sunlight as energy. After it is consumed today and before the sun rises tomorrow, the power of the crystal is the most vulnerable. According to Ertu,
Kessell himself is just a magic apprentice who can be destroyed easily, so he must seize this opportunity.
He shuddered as he thought of the powerful power of the Broken Demonic Crystal during the day. If it regained its power tomorrow, he might have no choice but to retreat.
"I will make both of us invisible so as not to alert others and let Kessell escape. Then I will obey your command." Imrik decided to sneak into the enemy camp. This is Drizzt's unique skill. If he were not worried
He alone cannot resist the remaining power of the Demonic Crystal, and he may even choose not to be a drag on him.
【Advanced Invisibility】.
Imric cast a spell to make the two invisible, then walked down the ground, and then walked quickly towards the Brimen Path.
Drizzt and Imric entered the outermost part of Kessell's camp. The dark elves were happy to see signs that the turmoil in the camp had calmed down. After enduring the wild bombardment of mages during the day, these monster armies finally
Shi Ye took a rest honestly.
A lone Orc guard was leaning tiredly on his gun, looking at the empty dark horizon in the north without concentration. Drizzt and Imrik relied on the convenience of [Advanced Invisibility],
Passed by him in a swaggering manner.
"Report!" An order came from somewhere in the distance.
"Nothing unusual!" the guard replied.
Drizzt heard the inspection commands sounded at different distances, and when he was about to move forward, Imrik raised his hand to stop him.
"There is magic that detects invisibility ahead. The disc in the guard's hand is a switch. Can you find a way to get it?" Imric's voice rang in Drizzt's heart.
Drizzt took a look, and sure enough, there was a disk-shaped object in the hands of the guard in front. He made an OK gesture, and then activated the magic of the dark elves. A shadow darker than the night enveloped him, and then
[Advanced Invisibility] has been lifted.
He quietly walked under the guard at the observation tower in the dark, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and quickly and accurately threw it at the guard's neck. His precise technique even directly cut off the guard's voice. He didn't even make a sound.
As soon as it was released, it fell into darkness and fell from the watchtower.
Drizzt was at his side immediately, quietly catching him to prevent him from falling hard. The dark elf pulled his dagger from the orc's throat, and then gently placed him on the ground.
Drizzt took the disc from the guard's hand and handed it to Imrik. The mage gently recited a few spells, and the invisibility detection spell on the disc was instantly lifted.
The two then continued to move forward. They crossed the only defensive line in the north and walked easily among the sleeping camps. They were able to kill dozens of orcs, goblins, and even many giants, but time was tight, and their biggest
The enemy - dawn, is about to rise in the east.
The two ignored the many monsters and moved forward quietly. When they were about to reach their destination, they found a large group of ogre guards ready to fight surrounding the Magic Crystal Tower, blocking his way.
"Damn it, what should I do, Imric." Drizzt was a little panicked. He was a little afraid that they would not be able to achieve today's goal.
Imrik also had a headache. He could easily kill these ogres, but he could not kill them without attracting attention. This was simply impossible.
"Attention." Imric suddenly thought of something, and then he said to Drizzt: "Wait for me here."
The mage's figure disappeared in an instant, and he was transported to an unknown location. Not long after, warning shouts came from the distance, causing the ogres to take a few steps away from their posts. At first, Drizzt thought he had killed the orcs.
The guard was discovered, but the shouts were coming from farther east.
Soon the sound of steel clashing with steel rang out in the predawn air. A battle began. Drizzt guessed it was a fight between rival tribes, but he couldn't see which ones from so far away.
People are beating.
When the ogres heard the sound of fighting getting louder and louder, they all left their posts and headed east. At this time, Imrik also teleported back.
"What did you do?" Drizzt asked with a smile. He had a hunch that this was a good thing done by his partner.
Imrik smiled slightly and said: "I summoned many monsters further away and asked them to cause riots and fights in the camp. Since we can't help attracting attention, it's better to just cause a bigger commotion and hide us."
Then the two of them saw the tower door, and they entered without even a second's hesitation. The ogres didn't even notice that two black figures flashed into the tower they were originally guarding.
As Imric walked through the doorway of the Crystal Tower, he felt a strange sensation, a humming vibration, as if he had entered the guts of a living creature that made up the walls and floors.
It is a strange crystal substance. Obviously, this is the special feature of that artifact. The magic crystal tower it generates is like itself, so various spells can be cast through the magic crystal tower.
This reminded Imrik of the Mage Tower. If he got this artifact, it would be equivalent to carrying a Mage Tower with him.
The two continued to move forward and found themselves entering a square hall, which was the lowest room in the four-room building. This was the place where Kesseau used to meet his field generals, except for the highest-ranking room.
The general's main audience room outside.
Drizzt studied the dark shapes in the room and the shadows they cast. Although he saw nothing moving, he knew he was not alone.
Kessell saw this room as a buffer zone between himself and the chaotic world outside. This was a room he rarely visited, the room of Akal Kessell's trolls.
Imric made a "hush" gesture, and they approached the shapes and found that they were a group of trolls. Fortunately, they were wearing [advanced invisibility], so they did not arouse the vigilance of these trolls.
They carefully crossed the area where the troll was and headed to the spiral staircase on the second floor.
There is a platform above the stairs. This platform is rectangular and has nothing on it except a mirror.
The mirror reflected a tapestry on the wall directly opposite. The surface was completely smooth, with no cracks or handles to indicate that it was a secret door. Drizzt put the weapon into its sheath and ran his hand over the entire mirror to see if there were any cracks or handles.
His sharp eyes could not see the handle yet, but the smooth mirror surface only confirmed what he saw.
Imrik turned on [Detect Magic], and the mirror emitted magical light, forming a scepter-like image, which was obviously a mechanism.
"Look, there is a poem here." Imrik pointed to a place with small writing under the mirror.
If you want to come, come
Come inside and party
But you have to find the door lock first
Although you can see it, you can’t see it
Although it exists, it does not exist
That is a doorknob that flesh and blood cannot hold.
"Existence and non-existence. This seems to refer to Ergusa Fokar?" Imrik said uncertainly. He had seen it in "The Knowledge of the Abyss", which represented a great demon who spread the plague.
real name
The elves on the surface were attacked by the demon's plague and died countless times, but they refused to admit that it was the demon who did it. Hence this proverb. Imric saw a small evil figure on the wall opposite the mirror.
Image of Gusha Foka attacking an elf, with his bare hands.
Drizzt said as if he remembered something: "Egusa Fokar has a weapon! A scepter!"
Imrik suddenly realized that in the screen of the [Detect Magic] aura, a scepter appeared in the center of the mirror. He raised his hand to hold the scepter, and with a "click", the mirror shattered and a door appeared.
In front of the two men, they walked in.
This seems to be Kessell's bedroom, with pillows and quilts everywhere, as well as thick mattresses spread on the floor.
Suddenly, the buzzing sound that Imric had heard when he first entered the tower returned, and it continued to gather strength, as if the song it emanated came from every wall of the tower. Drizzt looked around, trying to find any possibility
source.
A set of bells hanging from the ceiling of the room began to jingle eerily. The flames of the torches on the wall began to dance wildly.
The powerful magical power began to awaken, and Imric knew that the time had come.
The building itself has awakened to life. The wilderness outside is still shrouded in the shadow of night, but the first rays of dawn have already shone on the tip of the tower.
The door leading to the third floor suddenly opened, which was the main hall where Kessell's throne was.
"Come in!" the wizard shouted. He stood behind the crystal throne at the bottom of the room, holding an unlit candle and facing the open door.
Kessell looked at the two of them with a false face, a dark elf and a mage. He was fearless. With the help of the broken magic crystal, he was not afraid of anyone, even though the broken magic crystal was in the stage of hungry for sunlight at this time.
, even if its power is only enough to use another nine-level spell.
"Hello, Akar Kessell." Imrik looked at him calmly and said. At this moment, facing Kessell, he was convinced that this was an unlearned and unskilled idiot, a person who had gotten shit luck.
Scum.
"Hand over the broken magic crystal." The mage looked at Kessell expressionlessly and ordered in a cold tone.
Kessell's originally calm attitude was furious when he saw the mage's condescending look. He sneered and said, "Are you dreaming? The Broken Magic Crystal only recognizes that I am his only master. Even the devil cannot conquer it!"
