Chapter 83: Connivance
Buying and selling magical items in Icewind Dale is both easy and difficult. This is a poor country, and there are a bunch of ruthless people in exile or reclusive powerhouses.
Commonly used road goods, generally still have to find a mage organization, such as the red-robed mage or the Arcane Brotherhood to buy. Many churches also provide magical items in addition to holy water and healing supplies.
There are also many other organizations, such as a coalition of churches that put aside their prejudices and fought to hunt down those who had made a pact with the remnants of their souls. In addition to high bounties and free medical treatment, those who join also enjoy half-price medical potions and wands.
Naturally, this kind of welfare related to one's own life is widely embraced by adventurers. In fact, the Church of the Gods can be said to ignore the blasphemous priests who steal divine power, and they need to do a lot of bad things to make them remember before they can do it. But if Kurgal's identity is revealed, it is likely that there will be hundreds of people chasing her and killing her.
Relying on the relationship of the gnomes, Thomas found a mage who was willing to make a spirit bag for his old enemy. The Mage is responsible for the foundation and framework parts, and the Ranger is responsible for performing the magic required for manufacturing and instilling soul energy.
Recalling the knowledge and techniques he had received for spellcasters in Cat City, Supreme Forest, Silvermoon City, and Neverwinter, as well as the lessons he had learned from fighting the evil arcane spellcasters, Thomas watched his experience bar recede gently at a slow pace. Although the battle with the red-robed mage was only a few seconds, because the opponent was too strong, he gained a lot of experience, and it seemed that he would soon be able to reach level 6.
Although there is a saying on the earth called "the great illusions of life". But the ranger always firmly believes that he can develop well when he reaches level 6, and he can kill the red robe with a single ultimate. Now, even if you snipe Kurgal, or the deputy mayor Gantt of her fair strength, you only have a low success rate. After the old enemy spirit bag is well equipped, there will be a significant improvement.
The more spells you have on your body, the more powerful the arrows that trigger the backlash of magical energy will be. And the bigger the blessing spell, the less likely it is to hit successfully. It was precisely because of the dilemma that Thomas did not use the bow and arrow spell of this Ranger 2 ring.
But the spell of the 3rd ring is different, it is not simply powerful, but also makes the variables in the battle more stable with quantity.
A slight stinging in his forehead and magic inscribed Thomas's soul energy into the newly created magical item. As the saying goes, "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools", and targeting Arcane Spellcasters' nemesis Bags can make Thomas better at dealing with classes such as Mages, Warlocks, and Poets, and even Assassins.
It took three days to make the amulet, and every day Thomas came here to cast spells and instill souls. After completing the soul infusion required for the day, although a little tired, but more importantly, for safety, Thomas and the three hurried back to the Helios Church.
On the way, the sharp-eyed ranger caught a glimpse of the poet Ewell. He was hugging a couple left and right, smiling and squirming his hands around their hips. The two men may have been of savage blood, and both were far taller than Ewell. Thomas recalls the comparison between his height and that of the poet, and feels that both men and women are the deadliest, and he shuddered as he shrugged away from the dangerous poet.
Back at the Temple of Dawn, he saw the unicorn talking to the old priest. There shouldn't be a fight next, so Mina, who cherishes her mount and horsepower, can't bear to ride and let the unicorn come back first.
Many of the words were worded and voiced like paraphrases of Mina's opinion. For this kind of person who uses his mount as a telephone, Thomas can only praise: it is too slippery.
"What's going on over there, Mina, is there a way to bring down the deputy mayor? ”
The unicorn shook his head regretfully: "The spokesman said that he has wanted to kill him for a long time, but unfortunately he has been operating in Brinsander for a long time, and his forces are complicated and he can't find any evidence of guilt......"
"The guy in the red robe really wants to kill him. "Thomas doesn't like this kind of unpredictable guy, it's so unpleasant. He considered intimidating and even secretly sniping out Gantt, so that he could taste the price he deserved for betraying his intelligence to the red-robed mage.
He hid it from Mina, and went privately in the evening with the female mage, the Drow assassin, the cat ninja, and the gnomes.
At this time, he was in the Gantt Mansion, and he was having a good conversation with the red-haired half-elf captain from Luskan. Gantt said worriedly: "The spokesman has listened to some people with sinister intentions and sold the precious grain to the enemies of our civilized people in the wasteland, and has seriously damaged the interests of the people of Brynsander. This is certainly the result of her being deceived, but it also shows that the little girl is too young to have enough experience to judge and handle affairs. ”
"Yes, if some good citizens full of righteous indignation come forward to demand justice, she will have to step down and be replaced by someone more experienced. Captain Kurt nodded yes.
"At that time, in order to stabilize the situation, it may be necessary to have some reinforcements from Luskan to maintain order and return Brynsander and Icewind Dale to their rightful order. ”
"Let the trade of the dwarven mines and towns be under the protection of Luskan, and enjoy the peaceful trade together. Alas, it is sad that there may inevitably be some people who shed their blood and died. ”
"For example, one of my lovely colleague would have been very promising to become the current Lord of the North Tower. It's just that on the way to get more benefits for the Arcane Brotherhood, he was unfortunately killed by the mob!"
It seems that the Red Robe came to Icewind Dale this time only to capture Kurgal, not to establish trade. He couldn't match the mana of the other party, and he was happy to let the red robe get rid of his rivals, so he indulged them in Brinsander.
In order to sacrifice, the red-robed mages got the name of "snake god" out of nowhere, and these days they have caught people to sacrifice, which has attracted the attention and panic of the citizens.
And these grievances will eventually fall on the head of the spokesperson. When the authorities were out of control, he would come forward to appease the frightened citizens, and then take the opportunity to kill a few unknown guys who supported the spokesperson.
"However, I was brought to my attention to a ranger who was said to be very dangerous. Captain Kurt said, "Maybe he'll do a lot of damage to your plans." ”
"Hmph, it's just Kurgal's new massage equipment. I've seen it before, and there's nothing so powerful about it. In fact, the poet Ewell had told him about it the other day, and he thought that the Ranger was a complete waste, so he didn't kill him. ”
"Ewell, he's probably the biggest player in Icewind Dale. I heard that he has a good relationship with the female mage, so he really won't interfere?"
"This is really not true, it is said that the woman began to spring when she saw her new love, and completely ignored him. He was very unhappy, and now he is indulging in all kinds of fun!"
"That's good, if something goes wrong, the Dead Rat Gang and even my people might be able to help you. But then the proportion of distribution will be increased. ”
"I believe that you should not need to be involved. Gantt smiled confidently.
Drow, disguised as a red-haired half-elf, greeted him, but he still remembered how his god-like captain was afraid of the ranger.
Simply, I thought that the Ranger would be stronger and more dangerous than the Callinsan Killer or the Drow Ranger.
The snow is getting heavier, and the ambitions of some people are still burning vigorously.
