30 Raids
Countless planes together constitute the vast Torrell universe, above the material plane, there are also the elemental plane, the positive and negative energy plane, the upper realm where the gods live, and the purgatory and abyss where demons and demons live, these planes are collectively referred to as the outer world.
The shadow plane and the aetheric plane overlap with the material world, the etheric plane is a plane composed of invisible spiritual matter diffused by the material world, and the relationship between the shadow plane and the material world is like the black and white background of a color photograph.
Such a world of shadow matter is naturally favored by many shadow creatures, and Shar's huge influence in this plane has also made many shadow mages who use the power of the Night Lady inhabit it all year round.
The most famous inhabitants of this plane are none other than the remnants of Ancient Nexerrel in the Netherlands, who escaped the destruction of the Empire in the shadow plane, and reappeared in the skies above Faeron thousands of years later.
In the edge of Faerun, due to the special disturbance of space caused by the special climate, the rifts in the shadow plane often appear in these places, and the same is true for Lesserman, according to legend, every late night, there are shadow rifts that appear all over Lesserman, and in unreliable legends, there are traces of shadow cities.
To enter the shadow plane, all you need to do is to use a specific method to pass through the ubiquitous shadows of Faeron, and Penny Sean is now carefully searching through this dilapidated low attic, trying to find the slightest hint of spell and speculating on the location of the elder O'Cruz who entered the shadows.
In the middle of the night until dawn, the trolls stopped foraging for food, and Penny prepared a spell just before dawn when the web was updated, and arrived at Ocrus's residence at dawn under the guidance of the witch Salifin.
Looking for traces of the Shadow Plane, Penny was the only one who could do such a thing, the paladins knew nothing about the arcane, and the warlocks and bards could sense the power of the arcane, but could not accurately discern and analyze it, just as the illiterate could speak and hear but not read and write.
As the sole arcane researcher, Penny's actions were questioned by several others:
"You've been looking for nine hours. Arnell looked a little impatient, "Can't you find out where that damn old man got into the shadow plane from?"
"Please be respectful! Sally Fen exclaimed displeasedly, "The old man you are talking about is the elder of the Witches' Society. ”
"Sorry, sorry, I'm used to it again. Arnell sneered.
"The Bishop taught me that only inferior people make disrespect their habit. The paladin looked up and glanced at Arnell, "I'm more and more convinced of what Captain Camacho has to say about you, Mr. Stefani. ”
"What kind of logic is this?" the bard was annoyed, "I'm just straightforward." ”
"That proves that you don't have a lot of respect for everyone from your heart. The paladin said solemnly, "Mr. Stefani, you need to increase your upbringing. ”
Denounced by a girl several years younger than herself, Arnell looked like she was devastated and walked to Penny's side with her mouth in her hands: "Mage, my personality has been ruthlessly trampled on. ”
"It's a matter of course. Penny had no sense of comfort at all, and continued to look down at the traces that exuded mystical power, with a relaxed expression on his face: "It's been found." ”
"Found it?" several people came together.
"Right here. Penny walked to a corner of the room, in the middle of several mirrors facing each other, "If I'm not mistaken, at midnight, when the moonlight shines in through the window, it will be reflected by these mirrors to the circle in the middle, and the arcane power will push the contents into the shadow plane. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"Actually, the principle is quite complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. Penny shook his head and withdrew from the middle of the mirror, "Mr. O'Cruise is indeed a great arcane researcher, and even if I have the same power as him, I am afraid that this circle will not be able to be arranged. ”
"Well, let's wait until the evening and go in. Arnell walked in with a big grin, looked at the lines on the mirrors, and felt carefully, he did find the hidden arcane power, and his heart suddenly admired Penny, a mage who specializes in arcane arts is indeed much more reliable than a spellcaster who feeds on blood.
"But I think we'll have to think about it before we decide whether or not to go in. Penny thought for a moment, hesitated and continued: "The runes on these mirrors are extremely complex, I only recognize a small half, and the remaining parts seem to contain more complex powers, which are very difficult to identify, if you enter rashly, I don't know what will happen." ”
Several people hesitated when they heard Penny say this.
After all, the power of the arcane law is unfathomable, and if there is a slight mistake, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is not wise to enter without understanding it.
"I'm going to go in and have a look, no matter what. The witch Sarifin thought for a moment and made up her mind: "It is my duty to find the elder." ”
"I'll go with you, too, Ms. Sallyfin. Serra clenched her fists, and although it sounded dangerous, she remembered the children at the sentry point: "We must end the disaster here as soon as possible." ”
"Regardless, the Witch Society will remember you, messenger of Tyr. Sally Fen thanked.
Penny and Arnell looked at each other, shaking their heads and sighing at the same time, at this point, they retreated, but it was a matter of dignity, and abandoning his companions was not something Penny was willing to do.
"Let me check again, at least make sure that the circle is safe. Although he had been in this attic for nearly a day, it was still some distance from midnight, and Penny continued to check the circle, and the few people next to him did not bother.
It's dusk again, there is silence around the tower on the high mountain of Lesserman, the wind and snow are whistling along the broken brick wall, several people are not ordinary people, they are all in good shape, but after blowing the cool breeze for a day, they are also uncomfortable, Serra is from the south shore of the Falling Star Sea, Tumis, who is not very accustomed to this weather, sneezed, and suddenly heard a low roar that seemed to be sandwiched in the wind, and stood up alertly:
"Be careful!"
Several people stood up one after another, and suddenly there was a loud bang on the outside of the brick wall, and in the violent collapse and trembling, a noisy roar reached everyone's ears, and a dozen trolls surrounded the hut at some point!
"Damn. Arnell scolded in a low voice, took out bagpipes, and a clear music, and several people around suddenly felt a little sober.
Fireball!
With a flick of her hand, a huge ball of flame condensed in front of her and shot at the trolls with great speed, causing an astonishing explosion that shattered the three trolls on the spot.
Due to their lack of arcane research, most warlocks are accustomed to using crude destructive spells, so plastic magic is a favorite of warlocks.
Suddenly, when everyone reacted, the troll was already close at hand, although a fireball technique blew up a little, but the scattered pieces of flesh and flames aroused the fierceness of the troll even more, and they screamed and pounced, stretching out their long thick claws and swinging at the female paladin who was blocking in front.
Boom!
The clash of swords and claws made a metallic clash, the sharp swords leaving deep marks on the troll's claws, and the pain of the electric sparks caused the troll to howl in pain, but more trolls pounced, quickly staggering the paladin.
Blade of Fear
Penny had also completed the spell at this point, and a disembodied light knife appeared beside him, with a twisted grimace on the blade, struggling to break away from the blade, and the fangs in its mouth were long, jagged, daunting.
As soon as the knife appeared, the grimace on it let out a scream, and immediately slashed a troll that rushed over, and a grimace burrowed through the wound, and the troll let out a sharp scream, as if suffering from extreme fear, holding his head and began to rush aimlessly, the knife slashed several trolls in a row, and the trolls who ran away suddenly caused a lot of turmoil in the troll group.
Penny once again cast the spider web spell and the greasy spell, combined with the slight earthquake caused by Arnell's 'Barragon Iron Horn', successfully knocked most of the trolls who rushed into the small building to the ground, and the paladin's sword swept down the scattered and struggling trolls, and at the same time, Sallyfin's second fireball had already condensed and formed.
Suddenly, there was a muffled chanting sound in the troll group, and a hurricane blew through, blowing the cobwebs and grease in the room in all directions, and Sally Fen did not stand still for a while, but was blown down by this gust of wind, and the fireball flew out not far and exploded in the air, instantly blowing the four of them upside down.
"Spellcaster!" Penny saw that among the trolls, a hunched over with a stick, looking a little old, was squinting at a few people on the ground, opening his mouth, and actually speaking a lingua franca that he was not very proficient in:
"Surrender, don't kill. ”
Although the troll is savage, it is also a sapient creature, and it is not surprising that a spellcaster appears, but Penny listens to his words, but scoffs:
"If you don't kill us, what are you going to eat?, Mr. Troll, your deception is too low-level. ”
"Destroy, evil creature!" Cera's shout, holding his sword high above the top in both hands, leaping towards the giant mage, the blade radiating a divine brilliance that made people dare not look at it.
Dreadblade crept into the shadows while launching a sneak attack on the giant mage, and although the mage is usually very determined and not easily affected by fear, the severe pain wounds generated by the dreadblade can still interfere with spell casting.
Arnell's bagpipes made a more rapid and chaotic sound, and the sound penetrated the trolls' ears, causing their already modest minds to be disturbed and their movements slowed down.
The Giant Mage didn't panic, it seemed that its relatively long life gave it plenty of combat experience, a troll in front of him, blocking the paladin's slash, he chanted a spell, the hot air swirling around his body, and a surprisingly shiny incandescent orb appeared in front of him.
"It's a chain blast, and he can't finish it. Penny shouted. A fireball has flown out of her hand!
Bang!
The fireball and the incandescent sphere collided, making an astonishing explosion, and the firelight suddenly flooded the entire small building, Penny felt deafness and blindness for a short time, faintly, as if sensing some broken sound, he regained some consciousness slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the magic circle composed of several mirrors in the corner of the floor emitted a strong light.
Not good.
Penny's heart sank, knowing that it was the disturbance of arcane power that had caused the circle to change.
There was another deafening explosion, and Penny felt as if the world in front of him had shattered, and with a crisp sound, he lost consciousness.
