Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 58

"A grown beholder," Imric thought to himself.

A beholder is an eight-foot-wide spherical monster with a large central eye and a mouth full of tusks, and in addition to ten small eyeballs connected by stalks.

Adult beholders are extremely powerful, and their challenge level is as high as level 13. That is to say, it takes a whole team of professionals with a level of 13 to be able to successfully defeat them with complete confidence.

A beholder has ten eye stalks, each with a different supernatural ray: charm monster, charm person, disintegrate, finger of death, fear, petrify, moderate damage, sleep, slow, telekinesis.

Every special ability is very powerful, among which the power of Disintegration and Finger of Death can kill Imrik instantly, of course, the premise is that they can be hit.

In addition, the beholder also has a powerful ability, which can be called the nemesis of mages-anti-magic field.

In Faerun Continent, the magic net exists among all things, but because of the battles in ancient times, the magic net was completely destroyed in many places, resulting in a magic net-free area. In such places, spellcasters (except psions) will lose the ability to cast spells.

The anti-magic field is the ability to artificially turn an area into a magic-free area temporarily. The anti-magic field of the beholder can create a 150-foot-long cone-shaped anti-magic field in front of her huge main eye.

Although the anti-magic field is turned on, the beholders cannot release ray spells with their eye stalks, but the strong physical fitness of the beholders allows them to tear apart the enemy with their fangs.

The mage thought about it for a while, and decided to go and have a look first. Every beholder has a serious mental illness. For Imrik, who has psychic powers, it is not completely impossible.

Imrik raised his hand with a psionic explosion full of power points, which shattered the pale man's brain and disappeared into the silver mist.

Underground, beholder lair.

The beholder Shannasa is levitating above her throne, and in front of her is a small fishbowl with an ugly black fish in it.

She said to Heiyu tenderly: "My lovely Hilga, how beautiful you are, stay with me forever, okay?"

At this moment, a servant ran in and interrupted her relationship with her pet fish: "Great mistress, a mage has come, and he said he has the Stone of Gorol."

Shannasa, who was originally planning to use dissociation rays to turn the servant who disturbed her into powder, turned her ferocious big eyes when she heard the Gorol Stone stop, and said happily: "Bring him in! I want to see my baby! If you lie to me, you will all die!"

Not long after, the servant brought back a mage, it was Imrik.

He smiled and said to Zanatha, "Mighty Zanatha, I brought you a gift."

Imrik took out the Gorol Stone from his pocket. The beholder saw the stone, and excitedly floated in front of the mage, grabbed the stone, and looked at it fascinatedly:
"Oh, my darling, you're back, my gold coin."

Imrik took the opportunity to say at the side: "Great Shannatha, I tried my best to help you get back this treasure, but I got it in the end. I believe that only you are qualified to own it."

Shannasa looked back at the dog-legged mage in satisfaction, and said with a sharp smile: "Oh hehehe, that's right, you are right, only I am entitled to own it, I want to go back to the treasure house and get those lovely gold coins! Oh no, that damned golden dragon! He is the one who blocked me!"

Imrik rolled his eyes, and it seemed that the beholder had gone to the treasure house, but why didn't he succeed? Was it because of the golden dragon?
The golden dragon is one of the giant dragons, the most powerful of the five benevolent metal dragons. They have powerful physical strength and extremely hot flame breath.

The challenge level of an adult golden dragon is as high as 16, which is extremely powerful even if he has no professional level bonus.

He organized his language, decided to volunteer, and proposed to help the beholder go to the treasure house to defeat the golden dragon.

It wasn't that he was looking for death. In fact, as a lawful and kind creature, the golden dragon would never kill innocent people indiscriminately. On the contrary, evil creatures like beholders were the ones they wanted to kill.

If there is a golden dragon in the treasure house, then without his permission, it is impossible for Imrik to get the treasure. It is better to deceive the beholder first, use the golden dragon to destroy her, and then see if there is a chance to get the treasure.

Just when he was about to speak, Shannasa suddenly turned her head to look at him, and said forcefully: "You! Mage! I order you now, accompany me to the dragon coin treasury, and help me get rid of that annoying golden dragon!"

Imrik's heart sank. He hadn't proposed yet, but the beholder ordered him unreasonably.

He bowed with a smile and said, "Of course, it is my honor, strong and beautiful Sannasa."

Satisfied, the beholder laughed and enjoyed the black-robed mage's praise, but did not notice the strangeness in the other's eyes.

Underground, Dragon Coin Treasure House.

The beholder led Imrik around the connection between the Leyline Lost City and the sewer, and finally came to an empty underground cave. In front of him was a magnificent stone gate.

The beholder threw a gemstone and dexterity Wright onto the altar in front of the stone gate, a twinkle of pain flashed in his eyes, and then he pulled out the eye stalk enchanted with slow rays.

"Aww!" the beholder screamed in pain, cursing the person who designed the mechanism, she had already sacrificed one last time she came, and it finally grew out, and it will come again.

Fortunately, as the three keys gathered on the altar, the stone gate was opened by some inexplicable force.

"Boom." The heavy stone door opened slowly, and there was an extremely long corridor inside. On both sides of the corridor, torches made of immortal flames were inserted to maintain the light.

Sannatha floated in impatiently, waving her eye stalks to signal Imrik to follow.

The area of ​​this treasury is huge, the ground is covered with dust, and everyone walked around for a long time, but they still haven't reached the place where the dragon coins are stored.

However, looking at the years of dust and signs of decay around him, Imric determined that the golden dragon in the treasury should be quite old, at least reaching the level of a young dragon, or even an adult dragon.

There is no need to wonder how creatures like dragons can maintain their lives in this treasure house. Giant dragons are creatures with extraordinary talents. They can sleep in one place for dozens or even hundreds of years.

Even if they are not in deep sleep, they are willing to stay in a place full of treasures and never go out, even if something urgent affects them.

Humans once had a saying: "A good answer today is better than a perfect answer tomorrow."

But for long-lived dragons, they will only answer you: "What are you in a hurry for?"

The most important element in shaping a dragon's perspective and mood is time.Dragons do not aspire to live for the moment; they have a great deal of time stretched out before them.They don't worry about wasting time.If dragons have anything in excess, it's time, and they don't care about themselves in a hurry.
