After rejecting Mayor Fandulin's request to send someone to follow him and the dwarf Gundren Rockseeker's request to go with him, Anne ridiculously did not even ask for the name and origin of the mysterious mage, and just asked He followed the other party recklessly and entered the underground world from the entrance of the lost mine and from the other side of the Sword Mountain Range.
As for what the mayor said, that the unknown mage might be dangerous, Anne didn't listen at all, because, for her, danger was of course something she never needed to consider.
Anyway!
As long as she's not angry, there's absolutely no danger, that's for sure.
And if she gets angry, be careful.
Because, in that case, the people who appear around her, especially those with evil intentions, are likely to be in great danger?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Tibbers, who has a deep understanding of this point, strongly agrees! Because when a bad little mistress is angry, if there are no evil-minded guys around her, then Uncle Bear will indeed Is it a little dangerous? After all, if you can't find a target to vent your anger, Uncle Xiong is the best target to vent your anger. Basically, a beating is definitely indispensable. Talking about that kind of thing too much will make you cry. ...)
"Wow!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"It's amazing. This place seems a little different from the dungeon I went to last time!"
(Д≡д)!?
Soon, not long after the two of them entered the underground city world from the mine, Annie exclaimed and looked around, with a look of wonder on her face.
In fact, before, when Annie and Uncle Edkin first went to the dungeon located on the south side of the Sword Mountains and the Jiaoyuan Forest to look for the Raushizi helmet, they had already learned that in this 'Dragon' In the world of dungeons, dungeons are the largest and most magical place?
It is said that every corner of it is full of thrills, strangeness and magic, with a variety of beautiful and dangerous scenery and strange creatures, as well as a variety of very different underground lakes, underground castles or mysterious underground caves. etc?
But last time, when she opened her eyes, all she saw was the ruins of the hanging city of Dolumbude, which was somewhat similar to the Land of Fire. This was the first time she had seen this sight, so of course it was a bit strange. Rare and curious.
"oh?"
"Last time?"
After walking through the abandoned mine and arriving at the other cave where the dungeon is located, I saw Annie running around cheering and even staring at a shimmering mushroom. Looking around, the mysterious mage behind him, wearing a cloak and a withered old face hidden in the shadows, smiled.
"That is to say..."
"As the Queen of Neverwinter, have you also been to the dungeon?"
Then, he asked quietly in his slightly hoarse voice.
"Of course!"
ヾ(==)o
"But I've only been here once, this is the second time!"
(゜▽＾*)
"At that time, I and Uncle Edkin came here to find a helmet. It was also the Sword Mountain Range at that time, but it was on the other side. I don't know if it is connected to here!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
Annie didn't hide anything. While talking directly to Fang Ming, she thought about it, looked at it again and again, and finally couldn't help but stretched out her hand and directly pulled the shimmering colorful mushroom from the damp cave wall. It was pulled out.
After all, Queen Anne has never said that wild flowers or mushrooms on the roadside cannot be collected.
"ha!"
(o▽)o
"so fun!"
(▽｀)
"It's like a flashlight!"
∑d(*▽*)
Seeing that the mushroom glowed more intensely after being pulled out, making the surrounding area a little brighter, Annie couldn't help but feel a little excited, so she just waved it and led the way.
Although, she doesn’t know the way at all?
But it doesn't matter, after all, last time, she slept the whole time, and she had no idea what happened on the way, and she didn't see any other scenery. She just woke up and saw Uncle Edkin and the others being killed by that river. 'Fat Orange' kept chasing after him, but as for a huge dungeon in the middle and the brain-eating monster that liked to eat people's brains, he had no impression at all!
Therefore, now that she had the opportunity, and since she had just eaten at Fandulin's, she definitely needed to take a good stroll.
"helmet?"
"What helmet?"
The mage's hoarse voice came from behind, and it could be seen that he seemed quite curious about the helmet that a powerful mage like Annie had to find in person.
"Um……"
(`)
"It seems to be something called a 'Dharma-Breaking Helmet'?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Uncle Edkin and the others were going to use it to crack a door with a seal from Mordenkainen. Then they came to the dungeon to look for it, because that idiot Uncle Hunk insisted on hiding it in the ruins of a dungeon. Although that thing didn’t seem to have any effect at all later?”
()hey-hey!
Thinking of those idiots who came up with one plan after another, and then found so many hot places, and even dug up the ancestral graves of the Holga family, but in the end it was useless, and in the end they had to ask Queen Anne to take action. And turning the tide, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Tibbers said that the group of people only dug two graves, and the rest were done by some bad guy. As for who that person was, Uncle Xiong couldn't mention it openly.)
"Is it the law-breaking helmet?"
"Well……"
"I have heard that it is a magic helmet made by the mage Mordenkainen. It requires a warlock or a warlock to synchronize it before it can be used. It can release an anti-magic pulse with a radius of about several hundred feet centered on the user. , potions and scrolls below the artifact level will be completely destroyed, while the magical properties on other magic items will temporarily disappear for a short period of time."
"At the same time, all creatures, items, and spells in the area within the range are immediately interrupted, and the magic pulse is strong enough to hit most creatures within the range?"
"That is indeed a good thing, a legendary item!"
"Mordenkainen can be said to be the most awe-inspiring living mage in Faranis. There is almost no spellcaster who has not heard of his amazing achievements in the field of magic. The items he creates are naturally not too bad, especially It’s the ones with a good reputation.”
Hearing Annie talk about the 'Spell-Breaking Helmet', the mysterious old mage first explained and sighed, and then suddenly changed the subject and asked strangely:
"However, Her Majesty Queen Anne..."
"As far as I know, Mordenkainen's seal shouldn't be able to stop you, right?"
Yes, he is not an ordinary mage. He has already noticed Anne's extraordinary character from the demon bear hanging on Anne's waist.
A mage who can capture a fire dragon alive and at the same time easily suppress the red-robed witch sent by Sazastan, even if she is still a little girl, will definitely not go looking for the so-called "Broken Witch" just because of a mere Mordenkainen seal. "Dharma Helmet", because there is absolutely no need for it.
"I can't help it!"
(*^▽^*)
"but!"
o(*^*)o
"Uncle Edkin and the others were the ones who wanted to steal Neverwinter City's treasure house, and they wouldn't steal anything for them!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
That's right!
The truth is just as Annie said, she didn't participate in their boring ABC plans at all. She just went to the betting place, lost a small piece of gold, then filled out a betting form, and then paid Uncle Henk sent a small task. In the end, Uncle Edkin and others tried their best to complete the plan, but she effortlessly completed it while eating, drinking and having fun. She is so awesome!
Moreover, not only did she complete the tasks that the idiots tried their best to fail to complete, but she also made a lot of money back from Neverwinter City.
And it is said that the other party only compensated her for the city of Neverwinter, but she also lost a lot?
But it doesn't matter, she has never cared about Neverwinter or gold. She just goes to have fun, and she will lose a little. As long as she is happy, she won't care about those.
"Is that so?"
"I see……"
After listening to Annie's words, the mage was startled for a moment, then nodded, and then continued to follow Annie without knowing what he was thinking.
"Huh?"
!(;o)o
"strangeness!"
(ˊ)
At this moment, Annie suddenly stopped and shook the big glowing mushroom she had just picked.
"Why didn't it light up suddenly?"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
"hateful!"
o(*｀ー)o
After shaking it and discovering that its brightness not only did not continue to increase, but also rapidly weakened and became very dim, Anne couldn't help but become a little irritable and annoyed.
Because the place where there were a lot of these glowing mushrooms was already a little far away, and she didn't want to go back to pick one again!
Furthermore, if it can only be used for a while after harvesting it, then it seems to be of no use?
"The reason why it glows is because it grows on that magic mineral vein."
"Once it is picked, the magic power stored in its body will continue to be consumed, especially if you shake it hard just now, the magic power on it will be consumed faster."
"Throw it away, it's useless."
"Besides, this dark environment is not a problem for us mages, is it?"
As he said that, the mage stretched out his hand, and as the magic flowed, as if to demonstrate, he directly used a 'dark vision' on himself so that he could see the distant scene clearly in the dim underground world.
"don't want!"
()
"That's no fun!"
()
Unfortunately, Anne didn't buy it and didn't listen to the other party's advice.
You know, the reason why she came here was just for fun, and now she thinks this kind of mushroom is quite fun, and if she is not allowed to play with magic, then why does she come here?
"Um……"
(O ^~^ O)
"Yes!"
(-)
After stopping and struggling for a while, looking at the unknown mushroom in her hand that was gradually losing its luster, Annie just wanted to throw it away, but then she had an idea and came up with another good solution.
"Aha!"
(^o^)
"Uncle, look, it's lit up again now, isn't it?"
()
Then, she didn't know what happened, but the luminous mushroom in her hand that had gradually dimmed and lost its luster suddenly became bright again.
And not only did it light up, it was even more colorful than when it was just taken off. It looked like a light bulb of several hundred watts, directly illuminating a radius of hundreds of meters around the two of them, and making the scene just now brighter. The mysterious mage who released the 'dark vision' was so shaken that he was forced to cover his eyes with his sleeves?
"you!!"
"What a mess!"
"Wouldn't it be more efficient to just put a dark vision to save mana?"
"Besides..."
"Here in the dungeon, if it is too bright, it will attract a lot of certain beings!"
While speaking with emotion, the mage looked at the lake not far away from the two of them, and couldn't help but feel hesitant and wary.
"Aha!"
*. (ˊωˋ*)*.
"I don't care, it's more fun this way!"
()
As she spoke, Annie held up the gleaming lighting mushroom regardless and walked toward the path beside the lake in front of her.
It was a huge underground lake, I don’t know how deep it is, and I don’t know where it flows.
In the underground world, underground lakes and underground rivers are always one of the most common landforms, and this one is no exception.
Generally speaking, these lakes are very deep and are often caused by volcanic activity, underground river alluvial or plate movement. In these lakes, there are often many mysterious large underground creatures living, such as water monsters and giant sharks. Lizard or salamander etc.
And it is said that if anyone has the courage to dive into those lakes, they will usually find some precious mysterious specialties, materials or treasures that are not found in the world on the ground or in the sea?
Of course, the greater possibility is that it will never come back!
Isn’t this?
Because Annie was holding up the glowing mushroom that was infused with magic power and making it extremely bright in the underground world as if she was trying to die, and jumping forward majestically by the underground lake, certain things were naturally captured by that book. I was attracted by the light that should not belong to the underground world.
then……
Blah blah blah! !
There were waves of huge splashes of water and terrifying sounds of breaking through the air. Then, under the strong light in Annie's hand, she and the strange mage uncle behind her both saw at a glance:
One looks like a snake, with band-like, extremely hard scales on its body, and its color looks dark green with ring patterns. It also has two huge, long, curved horns on its head that seem to have... The huge thing with many legs rushed out of the lake, opened its bloody mouth and bit at Annie?
"Wow!!"
!? ('')
Seeing this, Annie of course didn't even think about it, she just flashed behind the mysterious strange uncle mage.
'! ! '
And seeing Annie disappear in an instant, the huge, snake-like thing with many legs jumped into the air, and of course it would not give up easily. Instead, it climbed out of the lake directly and moved at an extremely fast speed. He rushed towards the two of them.
"snort!"
"Icestorm!"
Seeing that Annie irresponsibly just hid behind her with no intention of taking action, and even exposed herself in front of the monster, and saw that huge thing rushing over to attack her, she had no choice but to Of course, the mysterious mage didn't dare to neglect. He raised his hand and blasted an ice storm spell into the opponent's huge mouth and easily froze him into a hideous lump of ice.
"What is this?"
(.)
"It looks like a snake, but it has one, two, three...six pairs of legs?"
=(*)
At first, Anne thought that the other party was the kind of flying dragon from the Valley of the Four Winds in Pandaria, but after taking a closer look, she felt that it didn't look like him at all.
"It's a green-footed dragon snake!"
"It is immune to poisons and lightning attacks, and it can also release flash beams in water. Ordinary mages cannot deal with them."
"However, the green-footed dragon snake is very useful to mages, priests, and alchemists."
"They can be used in the production of a variety of items. For example, the horns of the green-footed dragon snake can be used to prepare the ink necessary for writing lightning beam scrolls. Its sharp claws can also be used by priests to make them used to write neutralization. The ink of the poison scroll, and the heart of the green-footed dragon snake, is one of the commonly used raw materials for the ink used to write the poison scroll."
"Of course, it's basically useless for mages of our level."
"Let's go!"
"There is still a long way to go..."
After a brief explanation, the mage paused, and then ignored the blue-footed dragon snake that was frozen by him and was covered in treasures. Instead, he walked around and walked forward slowly.
"Well!"
"Can't you just throw that mushroom away?"
After walking for a while, he found that the light behind him was still accompanying him and illuminating his path. After feeling a little uncomfortable, the mage sighed and turned back to persuade Annie.
Because, he had a vague feeling that Anne didn't seem to be providing him with light, but rather creating obstacles for him?
"cannot!"
o(^｀)o
"It's so bright, how wonderful it is!"
(ω)
"Those monsters can't beat you anyway!"
(*^▽^*)
"You can't even beat others!"
(-)
Are you kidding me? How could Annie lose the toy she finally found before she got tired of playing with it?
"..."
After confronting Annie for a while, he found that he couldn't be persuaded and had no choice. The mage had no choice but to sigh and continue to lead the way, just letting Annie hold up the weapon behind him, which was likely to attract more dungeon monsters and monsters. Resident glowing mushrooms follow closely behind.
that's all!
Under the circumstances of a bad little girl deliberately causing mischief, as expected, the two of them encountered various underground creatures and residents who were watching or attacking them along the way. The old mage almost couldn't help but get angry.
For example:
Monsters called aboleths, which can swim in the water and crawl ashore with their tentacles, were once attracted by bright lights and used innate spells such as fake sensations, psychic links, and group control to target the two of them. A siege was launched.
Fortunately, both of them were mages, and both were at a super-powerful level, so they were easily exempted from their powerful mental enslavement. Otherwise, they might have been eaten by now!
Later, the two of them encountered a large group of ground-burrowing insects following them.
But fortunately, those burrowing insects were just following them. They were a group of absolutely neutral creatures. As long as the two of them did not take the initiative to attack them, they would just be attracted by the light and gather around them until the two of them left their territory. Backed away.
Then, there will definitely be a lot of 'bullying monsters' snooping and harassing them.
But it's a pity that those monsters seem to be a little timid. After seeing that Annie and the mage eliminated their accomplices in a few times, and seeing that the big one and the small one were both difficult to deal with, they just dared to sneak around. They were just snooping and observing from a distance, and did not dare to attack.
Of course, in addition to this, the two of them also encountered a lot of things along the way, such as bat-like moon monsters, terrifying nightmare beasts, massive underground worms, and some brain-eating monsters. The same strange but nameless monsters were monitoring and following her. After all, the 'flashlight' Annie held high was too conspicuous in the underground world.
Finally, what Anne found most interesting was a group of myconids, the kind of mushroom people!
As the name suggests, because they are mushrooms themselves, it is very easy to be curious and interested in mushrooms of the same kind. Especially the mushroom in Annie's hand that emits strong light, which makes them feel like they have seen a sacred object.
Anyway, they followed and worshiped the two of them for a long time, and they couldn't drive them away no matter how hard they tried.
In the end, there was nothing she could do. Under the eyes of the strange mage uncle who was too angry to say anything, and under the tireless worship of the mushroom people, Annie got tired and casually charged some energy into the glowing mushroom to ensure that it would glow. After a long period of time, it was given to those very interesting mushroom people, so that they could happily surround the mushroom that they regarded as a sacred object and run away.
As for what will happen when the magic power is used up and the mushroom stops shining and withers, Anne doesn't care.
After all, the mysterious strange uncle mage said that she was almost at her destination now, so it was best for her to be vigilant and cautious?
"Coming?"
|ω`)
"What's ahead?"
( ヘ)
"It does feel a little warm..."
く(＾_)ゝ
The temperature in the surrounding caves increased significantly, and Annie also found that there seemed to be a smell of sulfur in the air, which made her feel vaguely familiar?
"..."
However, the strange mage did not explain to her, and just continued to lead the way without saying a word.
At the same time, Anne also discovered that he, who didn't say anything when he encountered the messy monsters before, unexpectedly took a short staff and held it in his hand, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. What does it look like?
"Hello!"
(=ω)
"Just wait!"
-
==(Д`)
Seeing that the other party had such a mysterious look and still refused to explain, Annie had no choice but to suppress her doubts for the time being, and then ran quickly to catch up with her on her short legs.
