Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 27 Dunant's Tavern
the next day.

A black-robed mage stepped into Dunan's Tavern in the Dead City, and it was Imrik.

The entrance of the Lost City under the Mountain is inside Dunan's Tavern. It is said that long ago, there was no Dunan's Tavern here. A warrior named Dunan built this tavern at the entrance and constantly publicized the wealth of the Lost City under the Mountain to attract adventurers to patronize his business.

The tavern was full of people, and a large group of adventurers holding long swords and wearing armor drank and chatted here, telling their true or false legendary experiences.

As soon as the mysterious black-robed mage stepped in, he attracted the attention of many people. Many of the adventurer teams exploring the lost city below the mountain had caster teammates, and even priests appeared frequently, but a mage who appeared alone was still sought after by everyone.

"Hey! Mage, are you interested in joining our Redbud team? We are legendary adventurers who have stepped into the lost city three times and escaped unscathed. Follow us to ensure safety." A strong man in heavy armor came over.

The people next to him couldn't help laughing loudly when they heard the strong man's brazen self-introduction:
"Hahahahaha, you can pull it down. Who doesn't know that every time your team goes down and runs out without even finishing the first floor, it's safe to follow you. After all, you are a 'sightseeing team'."

When the strong man heard that someone had exposed him, he immediately blushed and turned around to argue with the other party.

The black-robed mage shook his head, walked to the bar and sat down.

"Give him a glass of white wine, and I'll pay him off," said a short female halfling next to him.

Imrik turned his head and glanced at the other party, a female halfling wearing mage robes, wearing several magic storage rings on his hands.

"What's the matter?" the black-robed mage said indifferently.

The female halfling smiled and said, "Find an excuse to talk to you, mage, I wonder if you are interested in joining our team, I promise, it won't be the waste that just pretended to be a fool."

Imrik said with great interest after hearing this: "Oh? Give me a reason, a reason that makes me find it interesting."

The condescending tone of the black-robed mage made the female halfling feel a little uncomfortable, but she knew that most mages were patients with autism and narcissism, so she said patiently:

"The average level of our team is all above level 5, and I am a level 7 warlock. I think it should be considered one of the best teams in this tavern."

When he heard that the other party was a warlock, Imrik lost interest. It was meaningless to him to these talented players who didn't study spells and couldn't copy spell scrolls. What's more, he already had a better choice. A group of teammates with kind hearts and easy manipulation is better than people with unknown details and purposes.

Just when he was about to decline, a familiar voice came from beside him:

"Hey! Tristana! Diggers have come to us, and Imrik is our teammate."

Paladin Jerome walked over with a big smile, followed by the rest of his teammates.

When the sorceress heard what the paladin said, her face darkened. A mage who seemed to have a strong aura was actually taken first. The people in the Dragonlance Adventure Group were not bad, especially the paladin, who was not easy to mess with.

Thinking of this, the female sorcerer had no choice but to give up: "Oh, look at what you said, Jerome, who knew he was your teammate, I am talking too much, so I wish you good luck down there."

The sorceress gritted her teeth and said this obviously ill-intentioned blessing to Jerome, who would have thought that this naive paladin would touch his head and laugh loudly: "Really, haha, thank you Jiyan, you are really a good person, Tristana
. "

The female sorceress who was walking out stumbled when she heard the paladin's ironic words, and walked out angrily with a sullen face.

Domila next to her covered her face with a headache: "Captain, I think she was probably cursing your tone, not really blessing you."

Jerome said awkwardly after hearing this: "Ah? Is that so? I didn't hear it. Imrik, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

The black-robed mage nodded with a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but my guardian copper furnace is still outside. I don't know if it is convenient for Fang to take it with me."

Everyone agreed one after another, with more combat power, it would be safer underground.

After going out, seeing the mighty body of the copper furnace, Zach rushed up with blind eyes, wanting to touch and feel his muscles.

Seeing the bearded dwarf's obsessive look, Tong Fu pushed him away in fright.

Hamlein said speechlessly: "Big Beard, he's a male, so don't go up and harass him. By the way, Imrik, this is the legendary Faqu creature. You are really rich. This is the first time I've seen it."

The bard's eyes lit up, and when he heard the word "rich", Domera also cheered up, and kept asking Imric how much the Faqu creature cost to buy.

Only paladin Jerome had a frowning bitter face.

"Imric. Is this evil creature your guard? I can feel the evil aura on him. Such a creature is too dangerous!"

The paladin's moral cleanliness made him unable to accept this evil creature as a teammate.

Imrik smiled slightly, pointed to the collar on the copper furnace's neck and said:
"Don't worry, the copper furnace is a guard I bought through orthodox procedures. The collar around his neck monitors his thoughts in real time and can control his life and death. In fact, since the purchase, he has never had the idea of ​​betraying me in his mind. Moreover, I think that if evil is under strong control, it can also be a good helper for good people to make achievements, isn't it?"

The paladin's distaste abated somewhat, but he still hesitated about the fact that he was company with an evil creature.

Therefore, seeing that Jerome was still struggling, Hamlet came over to persuade him, "Okay, Jerome, you can just treat it as a summoned beast. Don't tell me that if I use the monster summoning technique to summon the purgatory creature, will you also treat me as a bad guy?"

Hearing these words, Jerome finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, but we still have to stay vigilant. The nature of evil creatures runs in their blood, and they will never give up the opportunity to stab you in the back."

Seeing that Jerome finally accepted the addition of the copper furnace, everyone stepped into the tavern again to enter the legendary underground labyrinth.

The copper stove had already entered the tavern, so many adventurers drew their swords in fright, and they were relieved when they saw that they were with Imrik and his party.

The sorceress in the distance saw the Faqu creature next to Imrik, with a flash of greed in her eyes.

"What a powerful creature, it was acquired by those innocent little devils. Damn it, and that sorcerer really has blind eyes, so he didn't choose me."

The short halfling muttered to himself, the disappointment of missing the powerful mage teammates and the anger of being ignored caused a slight change in the sorceress' mentality.
