One month after he came out of the Dragon Coin Treasure House, Imrik has been staying at home, studying magic, and running the tavern Ryldea.
Over the past month, Imrik has also been trying to figure out the true identity of the Gorol Stone, but the progress has been slow. Perhaps this stone has weird thinking because it has not communicated with others for many years.
The only gain was that while studying the stone, Imric discovered that its internal structure was closely related to the character "Thir".
According to Shi Shi, this character represents "Holy Three", but Imrik searched the ancient books and found that there is only one ancient dragon language with the symbol "Thir", but in that ancient book, this word
means "god".
Imrik tried to find the source of this ancient book to see if he could find more information, but unfortunately, the author of the ancient book noted at the end that the content of this book completely summarized an incident he encountered when he was young.
described by travelers.
The clue ends here. In fact, there is a lot of knowledge in the continent of Faerûn that is similar to this book. The source of the inheritance is unknown. If you trace the source, you will often find that it was the knowledge passed down by strange travelers.
Most of these strange travelers are mages or travelers from outside the world. They have brought a lot of knowledge and inheritance from outside the world to Faerûn.
All this stems from the creator of Faerûn, His Majesty Io, the God of Gods.
The planet that Faerun belongs to is called Toriel, and the crystal wall system that contains this planet is called Kingdom Sky. There are many other planets in Kingdom Sky, and all of them are Ai
Created by His Majesty Ou.
In the main material plane, there are countless crystal wall coefficients like Kingdom Tianyu that contain a large number of planets, but most of these crystal wall systems are naturally formed and there is no god of gods to rule them all.
It is precisely because of the existence of His Majesty Io that the Kingdom Tianyu has attracted a large number of gods from the outer world to stop and spread their faith here. Therefore, it has welcomed many tourists from other dimensions.
"I'm afraid this stone is not native to Faerûn." Imrik gently touched the Stone of Gorol.
He put the stone away. Without any clues, how to solve the curse of this stone could only rely on God's will.
This month, another major event happened in Waterdeep City.
As early as a week ago, everyone in the Wujin family was found tragically dead at home.
It is said that there are no wounds on everyone's body, and everyone's bodies are placed in a circular shape in the center of the manor.
For some reason, this incident even alarmed the Blackstaff. It is said that the legendary mage came to the manor to inspect the body, then returned to his mage tower angrily, and not long after, he announced that the Zhentarim members were wanted throughout the city.
.
Imric also consulted the city guard mage who originally investigated the fireball spell, and the answer he got was that everyone died from the nine-ring spell - Banshee's Wail.
This powerful and cruel spell can make everyone around the caster suffer a Constitution check. The penalty for failing the save is immediate death. It is as frightening as another single-target instant death spell - death by law.
It's no wonder that this incident alarmed the Black Staff himself. A mage who could use such a powerful spell unscrupulously wiped out a great noble in Waterdeep City. He simply didn't take his name as a legendary mage in his eyes.
"The family was not destroyed. One person's body was not at the scene." The city guard reminded Imrik at that time.
"It's Reiner. Reiner Wujin is not in the list of deceased persons."
Reiner's disappearance did not attract Imrik's attention. As early as he learned that the Zhentarim were also eyeing the Neverburn family, he knew that it was only a matter of time.
An organization led by a nine-ring mage, or even a legendary mage, cannot be compared to a beholder like Zannasa.
The only reason that stopped them from going on a killing spree in the city was the existence of Kelben Blackstaff, and now, it was obvious that even the name of the Blackstaff couldn't keep them patient.
"Sir, this is the list of the tavern business for this month." The butler came to Imrik and handed him the report in his hand.
Realdea's business is unexpectedly booming. Even during the off-season, the turnover this month has reached 9,000 gold coins, an average of 300 gold coins per day.
Of course, due to the salary expenses of a large number of good-looking female employees and the cost of luxurious food raw materials, the net profit from these nine thousand gold coins is only about half, but it is still a lot.
Ryldea's income has completely exceeded Imrik's daily hard work copying scrolls, giving him more time to meditate and read books.
"Also, there is a beggar outside the door who wants to see you. He said he knows you." The housekeeper continued.
Imric raised his eyebrows. A beggar actually knew him. He couldn't help but become interested, and arranged for the butler to bring the person in.
Not long after, the housekeeper brought in a tall man. His whole body was covered with dust, his hair was greasy, and his face was covered with black mud. His appearance could not be seen clearly.
"Are you Reiner?" Imrik felt more and more familiar the more he looked at him. Even the dirt on his face could not hide the beggar's temperament.
The beggar smiled bitterly and said, "Ah, you actually recognize me. It seems that my disguise is not enough."
Sure enough, it was Reiner. Imrik asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why are you dressed like this."
Reina said bitterly: "Hey, I think you should have heard that my family was wiped out. I was not at home that day and luckily escaped. In order to prevent being hunted down, I have been changing my mind for the past few days.
Allow yourself to pretend to be a beggar."
Imric nodded. Being chased by a nine-ring mage was probably the reality that everyone feared the most.
"Imrik, I need your help." Reiner said seriously.
Imrik raised his eyebrows and said tactfully: "Reiner, I think I am not strong enough to face an existence that can use nine-ring spells."
Reina waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I know, and I have no delusions of revenge. I hope you can help me get back my family's treasure. Although I was not ashamed of this money, now I need it to help me."
Leave here and revive the Wujin family."
Then, he continued: "Don't worry, no matter how much I get, I will give you half of it as a reward. You are the strongest professional I know. Only you can help me, Imrik."
Imrik's heart moved. If he just withdraws money, it doesn't matter. He can still make a fortune, but
"Why do you say you are not ashamed of this money?" Imrik asked curiously.
Reina said sadly: "My father once told me that this money was an ill-gotten gain from my grandfather. I heard it at the time and swore not to touch this treasure. But now."
Imrik nodded, smiled and said: "No problem, I will help you."
The only thing he needs to worry about is the unknown mage. Imric thought in his mind, and he didn't think it was a problem. If the mage was also in the treasure house and blocked by the golden dragon, it would be enough for him to escape.
What Imric didn't know was that far away, there was a gloomy lair underground.
A bald mage was standing in front of the crystal ball. He was wearing a luxurious mage robe, holding a scepter inlaid with a huge diamond, and looking at the mirror image in the crystal ball indifferently.
What emerged from the mirror was the scene from Reiner's perspective. Everything Imric and Reiner talked about was recorded verbatim by the crystal ball.
"I have been monitoring Wujin for so long, and I am finally ready to go to the treasure house. Haha, it will eventually fall into my hands. Damn Black Staff, do you think you can stop me?" The bald mage sneered and looked at the picture in the crystal ball.
, waved his hand to summon his subordinates and said:
"Prepare manpower. This time, we will wait and wait for them to get the gold coins and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"Yes!" A black shadow flashed past, leaving only a short reply.
The bald mage reached out and summoned a water mirror, revealing an old and crazy face in the mirror.
"What's the matter? Manson." The man in the mirror asked impatiently.
The bald mage smiled and said, "I'm just informing you that it's about to begin."
The editor informed me that it will be put on the shelves tomorrow. It was so sudden that I had no time to prepare at all.
I hope that readers can support a first order. I will update it tomorrow. I heard that this first order will affect the recommendation. Please support~
