Warhammer Wizard

Most of the electricity absorbed by the demon slaughter in Dunmerford last time was consumed by Ren's body, and Raistlin used more than 300 grids to solidify the "Flame Demon Crown", leaving about 1,200 grids, and now he killed it. With so many koo-too murlocs, the power in the spirit pool returned to 1,600 bars.

He intends to keep these electricity for Renn to advance to the legendary high-level, and has not used it.

"The capacity of the soul pool is still too small."

Raistlin thought to himself.

Barack went over excitedly, scoured the corpses of the three legendary kuo-toas for loot, and soon returned cursing.

"These poor **** don't even have anything of any value." The Holy Spear Ranger snorted and washed his hands with disgust by the river.

Daunsoth laughed: "If they are rich, they don't have to come out and loot."

"That's not so shabby." Barack mused, "unless this is their first robbery, um..."

He saw that Izzet was also looking at the corpse of the kuo-toa priest, as if he had found something.

"There's something wrong with these kutoos." Izzet turned back and said to the crowd.

Barack was refreshed: "What's the problem?"

The dark elves are most familiar with the Underdark, and know the creatures living in the underground world like the back of their hands. They got up and said slowly, "The first time I passed through a cave was one hundred and twenty years ago, and I have walked many times since, and discovered it very early. The kuo-too tribes nearby, but they didn't launch such a large-scale ambush like this time, and I was easily bypassed."

"The Kou-too murlocs do loot those who pass by, but they all act in small groups of murlocs, rarely more than thirty."

"So many murlocs are members of almost an entire tribe."

"They are also wise, and they won't do such stupid things unless they have to." Izt looked contemplative, "The kuo-too usually live near the dark river, with plenty of food, and the target of looting is treasure. and magic items."

He pointed to the murloc corpses everywhere, "But look at these kuo-too murlocs, their weapons and equipment are very primitive, even the legendary murlocs..."

Barack responded.

"You mean they were forced out to loot, and the wealth was handed over to the master they served?"

"That's right." Izzy nodded: "This is a very common thing in the Underdark. Drow, beholders, and illithids use this method to control slaves, serve them, and collect wealth. This Kou Tao The murloc tribe should have been enslaved by one of these three."

"Which one do you think it will be?" Athena asked.

Izzt thought for a moment, "This is the upper level of the Underdark, and illithids generally only operate in the middle and lower levels, so the possibility of drow and beholders is higher. Drow relatively cherish the lives of slaves, after all, slaves are in They also see a 'wealth' in their eyes, and the drow will order them to do a lot of work, draining every drop of labor, instead of giving it away in vain."

"Is the beholder controlling this kuo-toa tribe?" Raistlin suddenly asked.

"It's very likely." The dark elf nodded.

Rasling suddenly became interested.

Beholders are some of the most well-known and powerful creatures in the Underdark, a type of eccentricity born with a plethora of spells.

These are like monsters with large floating eyeballs. Their appearance is enough to make people have nightmares, but they are actually very intelligent. They are not the native species of Ellenus, and their origins are unknown. They claim that their ancestors are a great being with abilities comparable to gods. Without a name, they are called "Big Mistress".

All beholders are descendants of the Great Mistress, and at the same time, all beholders are hermaphrodites.

Beholders believe that only they are the wisest and most powerful, and that other creatures are inferior, and this attitude, combined with their inherently powerful abilities, makes beholders' highest goal of conquest and domination.

They achieve their goals by enslaving other creatures.

Beholders are also very arrogant, each of them thinks that he is a role model in the beholder family, and other beholders are inferior replicas. When two beholders meet, as long as they are slightly different in appearance, even if it is just the pattern on the case, they will fight to the death until one party dies and the one alive declares victory.

However, beholders are a very complex race with dozens of branches. Just as there are no two identical leaves in the world, there are no two identical beholders in the world.

A beholder is strong, and a group of beholders is a disaster.

Therefore, beholders fight alone, occupying a territory, and it is almost impossible to form alliances with other beholders, and it is impossible to form a powerful beholder kingdom.

Even the beholder breeding offspring is done alone.

When the beholder cubs they give birth to grow large enough, they gradually realize that they are different from themselves and are likely to kill the cubs.

If the cub is a mutant, it's even harder to survive.

Raistlin had read the information on beholders in the Book of Thousand Souls, which was very long and introduced more than a dozen common beholders. Such as Beholder Tyrant, Elder Beholder, Eye of the Nest Mother, Eye of Deathblow, Eye of Tongue Chisel, Eye of Warlord, Eye of Insight, etc. Each beholder has unique abilities.

However, most beholders have three common spells, mind control, eye beam, and anti-magic field.

Especially the anti-magic field!

This powerful spell is very hard to find. There are only three known creatures with anti-magic field elements, and one is rarer than the other. The beholder is the easiest to find, and the other two don't even know where to meet them.

Ren had thought about it a long time ago that he was following the path of a melee wizard. If he could master the anti-magic force field, it would be really impossible.

Battle wizards and anti-magic fields are a perfect match!

The last time I was in Northrael, I saw the anti-magic field of the blood elf lawbreaker, which made Ren even more tempted.

Since he came to the Underdark, there might be a beholder nearby, so he couldn't miss it.

Hearing Izt's words, Raistlin did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Find this beholder, I need its demon soul."

"Do you want to strip away the elements of the beholder and make it into a seal?" Dawnsos suddenly misunderstood, and other teammates thought the same.

Until now, no one knew that Raistlin was a mage.

He didn't explain much, just nodded.

"The beholder will be very careful to hide its lair, and its territory is also very large, and it is not easy to find it." Izzet said: "They are natural spellcasters, secretly controlling slaves, so are the slaves in the lair. The most powerful ones are numerous and dangerous."

"We even killed the Balor Flame Demon, and are we still afraid of a beholder?" Barack didn't care.

"Too."

Izzet laughed twice.

He had just been promoted to the Holy Rank Demon Hunter, and his position of strength was still a legend, and he could not change it for a while.

Beholders are extremely talented, and they are legendary when they are adults, but it is very difficult for them to advance to the Holy Rank like all creatures. This is only the upper level of the Underdark, and the beholder who controls the Kou-too murlocs is more than 99% legendary and should not be feared.

The dark elf pointed to the far side of the cave. "There should be some clues in the kuo-toa tribe."

"let's go."

Raistlin waved his staff and cast mass teleportation.

The scene in front of them changed. The group of people passed through the forest in an instant to the edge of the cave. The river formed a large lake here. The rock wall dipped into the water, and the water flowed. Obviously, it led to an unknown space below. Fleeing underwater.

They also participated in the ambush just now, but they were lucky to be outside the scope of the Burning Cloud Technique, and the potential river bottom escaped here.

"Are we going into the water?" Barack asked.

"No need."

Raistlin turned on his all-seeing eye to track the fleeing kuo-toa, and the underwater darkness receded, clearly capturing the murloc's route.

His eyes followed the trail and looked up at the rock wall.

He locked the position and opened the portal. On the other side of the door was a large darkness, and there was a burst of screams.

Izzet and Athena rushed in.

By the time Raistlin came out of the portal, the two of them had already started a killing spree, and there was blood everywhere. This is a closed damp cave with a diameter of only two or three hundred meters. The river runs through the middle. There are caves built on the rock walls along both sides of the river, and simple dwellings are made of wood.

This cave is the tribe of the kuo-too.

The only entrance and exit is the bottom of the river. You have to dive for at least nearly a thousand meters to get in. It is safe and hidden, but today it has ushered in disaster.

As soon as Raistlin came out, he used the mirror image technique, and twelve mirror images appeared at the same time.

A pale white ray shot out from the body and the mirror's hand, and immediately, the river in the cave was frozen, blocking the escape route of the koo-too people.

There are more than 300 kuo-toas in the cave, most of them are old and weak.

But their ferocity is no less than that of any evil creature. When there is no way to escape, they launch a suicide attack on the enemy, like an egg hitting a stone, and the result is no accident.

Gunshots exploded, thunder and lightning roared.

In less than half a minute, the koo-too murloc was almost killed, and the only one alive was a legendary murloc hunter, who was supposed to be responsible for staying behind the tribe.

A tranquility technique landed on its fish head and woke it up.

Raistlin blessed himself with "Language Proficiency" and asked, "Who is your master?"

This legendary fish-man is more than two meters tall, with a strong body, strong muscles under the blue-gray fish scales, wearing simple leather armor, and a pair of round and protruding eyes on both sides of the fish head flashing fear, not daring to hide it at all. He replied honestly: "It is the great 'Gugo Zerakan'."

The words it said were still a whimper, but with the help of his language skills, Raistlin could already understand the murloc language.

"A beholder?" he asked.

"Yes, my lord." The legendary murloc nodded again and again, the huge fish head was out of tune with his body and looked a bit funny.

Raistlin thought, sure enough.

Then he said to Izt: "You guessed it right, they are indeed beholders behind them." By the way, each teammate was blessed with language proficiency.

Barack immediately continued the interrogation: "Have you seen that beholder? Where is the lair?"

"I've been to the master's lair twice, but it blinded my eyes with magic, so we couldn't find the exact location." The kuo-too were afraid that these terrifying enemies would kill themselves, and timidly replied: " Ladies and gentlemen, please don't kill me, I can lead the way to the master's lair."

Everyone is happy, as long as they are near the beholder's lair, it will be much easier.

Out of caution, Izzet asked again, "What kind is it?"

"The master is an elder beholder."

The dark elf was slightly surprised and exchanged glances with his teammates.

The Elder Beholder is also known as the "Eye of the Elder", a mutant that appears only among hundreds of beholders. It has a longer lifespan than ordinary beholders, and can live at least five hundred years. The size, strength, and defense of beholder elders are much stronger than ordinary beholders. What is even stronger is their spellcasting ability, and they are known as mages among beholders.

They are extremely intelligent, and their spellcasting abilities become stronger as they age.

The beholder elders are at least legendary, and the possibility of middle-level and high-level ones is extremely high. They also control a lot of slaves. The lair of a beholder elder is equivalent to an extraordinary army!

However, Raistlin was a little surprised.

He thought it was just an ordinary beholder, but he didn't expect it to be an elder beholder, which was more in line with his wishes.

Because the beholder elders must have anti-magic fields and a large number of spells.

Raistlin looked at the Kou-too and said lightly, "Take us to your master, and I can save your life."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

The murloc was overjoyed, and without waiting for everyone's urging, it climbed up and pointed to the end of the frozen river, "Please come with me, my lords."

"You just need to show the way." Raistlin looked in the direction the murloc pointed and opened the portal.

Soon, the group left the kuo-toa tribe.

In order to survive, this koo-too did not dare to cheat at all. Along the way, it took Raistlin and the others through dozens of caves, deviating further and further from Izt’s predetermined route, entering unfamiliar areas through some hidden passages, and encountered other underground creatures along the way, almost all of them. Slaves of the Elder Beholder.

These slaves found the enemy and rushed up immediately.

Then they were killed by Raistlin and the others~www.readwn.com~ without letting them go back to report to the beholder.

After a day of trekking, the Kou Tao yumen finally took the crowd into a huge underground cave, with countless stalactites hanging down from the top of their heads. The terrain is very complicated. There are many openings and forks on the surrounding rock walls, leading to different directions.

"My lord, I can only bring it here."

The kuo-toa's eyes were full of apprehension, "The master's lair is near here. One of these passages can be reached, but I don't know which one it is."

This is the moment that decides its life and death.

Raistlin had been observing the kuo-toa with the eye of the soul, making sure it wasn't lying, and waved his hand, "You can go."

"Yes, thank you sir!" The Kou Tao fish screeched and ran.

After dismissing the Koo-too, Raistlin began to observe the cave, and soon found the clue.
