"What's going on?" The explosion in the teleportation hall was silent, but the subsequent collapse of a large amount of earth and debris around it caused a firework to rise above the explosion site, which was very visually pleasing to the eye if you didn't take into account the shocking effect of this firework.

But Nephis and Lannielou, who were awakened by the explosion, were a little frightened, because the site of the explosion was only less than three hundred yards away from where they were sleeping, and they stared at the large crater that appeared out of thin air in the distance, as if the tall hall of the guild had been wiped off the ground in an instant, and a large amount of smoke and dust were billowing and their hearts were pounding.

The door behind him suddenly opened, and Penny walked in hurriedly.

"You're back?" the two of them turned back together.

"Hmm. Penny nodded.

"Looks like something terrible has happened, my lord. Nephies bit her lip and looked at the huge crater in the distance, where many association staff had already entered and exited and began to tidy up the scene.

However, he didn't drag the body out, Penny knew very well the power of the bomb, and everything would evaporate everywhere the black light spread, and there would be no scum left, and certainly not a remnant.

"Yes, it's really not small. Penny exhaled and stroked Nephis's hair.

"And what should we do?" Lanew frowned, not asking in detail.

The Disappearance of the Waterdeep Association is already evident.

"The city's mysteries have been completely sealed. Penny was silent for a moment, "You can follow Miria-sama through the inspection and leave the city." ”

"You're going to stay here?" Lannie raised an eyebrow.

The wizard nodded.

"Your Excellency......" Nephiss had a faint drop of water in her eyes, and she grabbed the mage's robe, swaying gently from side to side.

Her meaning is quite obvious.

Penny coughed dryly, forced his face, and stared at his hypocritical performance, Lanny snorted and sneered: "Well, sure enough, it's the deep wizard of the city, it seems that we, the lowly waiters and guards, have no chance to learn about your secret plan and participate in it, right?"

"Don't say that, Lanny. Penny's dry cough worsened.

"Isn't that so?" she glared at the wizard fiercely, turned her head proudly, and picked up Nephis, "Come, baby, let us stay away from this scheming fellow, who is so faithful, and he doesn't let you know anything, and that such a fellow will sell you sooner or later, and we'd better leave him together to wander around Feron, alas! ”

"Lannie ......" the little girl hugged her neck and looked at the wizard with tears in her eyes, and under this gaze, no matter how pure and immaculate, no matter how innocent, would unconsciously begin to reflect on whether he had inadvertently committed any sin.

"......" Penny looked at the two girls for a while, and nodded helplessly: "Well, I'll admit that I stayed for another purpose, because I just looked through the information and found that something very important to me is near Waterdeep. ”

"Important to you?" Lannie frowned.

"You should remember when I first came to Waterdeep, I fainted. The wizard explained, "I once gained considerable power from a magical device, but this power was also very volatile and needed something to maintain, one of which was hidden in the depths of Waterdeep. ”

"I see. Lannie suddenly realized and came to her senses: "No wonder your strength is so abnormal, I thought you were really a genius who doesn't come out of a thousand years." ”

She rolled her eyes at Penny, "It turned out to be just a lucky guy." ”

The wizard noticed that the woman's expression was noticeably better after hearing her explanation, and the distance between them seemed to have narrowed a lot.

Sharing a few secrets to a limited extent seemed to reduce the estrangement between them, and she didn't continue to ask questions, so it seems that this rough woman is not as unreasonable as she thinks.

However, it occurred to Penny that perhaps the reason she didn't continue to ask was because she didn't know much about Offa, so she didn't ask, because Nephis's expression told Penny that her curiosity was extraordinary.

"All right, then, you can go back to Simon in peace?" he took the little girl into his arms.

The little girl's face was immediately filled with reluctance.

"Back to Simon, do our wizards think it's reasonable to leave us behind after bringing us to this place?" Lannie glanced at him, "Or would you rather we two poor women who ran away from Searle and follow you wandering around strange Faeron?"

Nephiss twitched, as if she might cry at any moment.

"Listen, don't try to leave us behind. Lannie stretched out her long, smooth arms and wrapped her arms around the wizard's neck, whispering softly in his ear, "You bastard." ”

Penny hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly, "Okay, since this is your request, but ...... Lanie...... My destination is 'down the mountain'. ”

He finally decided to compromise, because he looked at Nephis's skeletal eyes, and began to wonder if they would secretly follow him if he continued to disagree, but he knew very well that the two women, one big and one small, were not good people, and one was more destructive than the other.

"Down there, down there?" Lannie frowned, "That name sounds so inexplicable. ”

The wizard was speechless.

It doesn't seem to be enough to expect a samurai who serves the evil god to be well-informed, whether it is the Moon Sea region or the Desperate Eastern Realm, the distance from Deep Water City is quite far, and it is normal not to know about the mountain.

"Lord Lannie, at the foot of the mountain in Waterdeep is the dungeon of the mad mage Hylast's black robe, where many treasures are hidden. As a qualified mage apprentice, Nephies was well aware of Yamashita's concept, and she explained it to Lanny.

"There are many more monsters, and most of the people who went in to venture out didn't make it out alive. Penny spread his hands and tried to make a final effort to stop the two women's plans, but he knew it was futile, for Lanny's eyes lit up when she heard that there were 'many treasures hidden' in it.

And Nephes's reaction was even more exaggerated:

"My lord, is there a dragon in there?"

"I don't know, but there should be a lot of monsters like dragons. The mage shrugged.

Hylast's black robe is an extremely powerful legendary mage, and in many legends, it is described that the power of this ** master is by no means under the black rod of Ilminster and his good neighbor Kelburn, and the mana is so powerful that it can be ranked in the entire multiverse.

Such wizards, not to mention dragons, even the abyss lords who are several times stronger than dragons and even the Doom Destruction Beast, can do it alone, if they put the monsters they have leveled into a giant dungeon, how can it be as simple as a few dragons?

You know, even those as powerful as Ilminster didn't have the courage to enter Helast after the death of the black robe, and those adventurers who had been lucky enough to return from it were also secretive about the situation, and by comparing the sporadic and one-sided descriptions of these adventurers, they could only draw a vague impression.

But such danger apparently did not scare away the little girl who was full of action, and she received Penny's answer, and cheered:

"Great, my lord, I finally have a chance to test the weapon that Lord Xiao Brandant gave me!"

Penny's face darkened slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Can we go now?" Lannie put on her armor and picked up her giant sword, raising an eyebrow at Penny.

"Of course...... OK. ”

"But where should we go first?" Lannie frowned, "Do you know where to get into that place?"

"I know, I've looked it up in the library here. Penny nodded: "There is a warrior named Dunant who once explored the bottom of the mountain and returned safely, he opened a tavern called 'Sleepy Portal' in Waterdeep, there is a passage underground, it should be possible to reach the underground of Waterdeep, we will go and say goodbye to Miria first." ”

Lanny and Nephis nodded, packed up their gear, and while Nephie counted the various weapons in her backpack one by one, Penny approached Miria only to see that a wizard in the costume of the Waterdeep Society had arrived at Miria's residence first.

"Oh, this is the Mystic Pupil of Carlos, Lady Chadland's emissary. Elder Miria pointed at the half-elf: "Come here to inform you of something, I'm sure you'll be interested in Diesel too." ”

In the teleportation hall, Penny saved her life in time, and this kindness doubled the elder's favor for Penny, and now when he spoke, not only was he more polite, but his tone naturally became softer.

"Hello, this Mister of the Arcane Pupil......" Penny frowned.

Some humanoid creatures such as elves and dwarves like to use some words with practical meaning as surnames, and dwarf surnames tend to be realistic, mostly short, but elven surnames that tend to be artistic surnames and have more modified words are a bit awkward to read.

"Hello, Mr. Diesel, I am glad that you have survived, it is a pity that such a thing has happened. The half-elf smiled wryly, "It's more than we expected." ”

"The sky is unpredictable. Penny waved his hand, noticing what Elder Miria had just said, "By the way, Mr. Mystic Pupil, you are Lady Chadland's emissary, and she's safe and sound?"

"Yes, the power of the black rod protected her, but she was still badly wounded. A trace of worry appeared on Carlos's face: "She can only lie on the bed now and issue orders, the power that hurts her is too weird, and the divine power is helpless against it, we have sent an invitation to Lord Ilminster in the south, hoping that the legendary arcane can heal this injury, but this ** master doesn't know which plane to travel to, and we can't contact him for the time being." ”

"It's a pity. Penny nodded.

Of course, he knew what kind of power it was, and if the damage caused by the ancient evil could be easily healed by divine power, it could not be called an ancient evil thing.

Divine magic can't do anything about the damage done by this kind of thing, and generic arcane is obviously a bit troublesome for mending damage.

All that can be counted on is some power beyond mortality.

For example, legendary spells owned by legendary mages.

However, because of this, he became more curious about the psyker named Beliameil.

And not just because of the woman's somewhat bizarre behavior.

There is also that powerful power, you know, there are only a very few wizards who can perform dissociation techniques in Faeron with a total number of less than 10,000 wizards, and many classics have described that the path of cultivating psionic energy is far more complicated than arcane, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be doomed, not only requiring higher talent, but also a certain amount of luck.

And, of course, the small box, which Penny had only glanced at but had noticed that it was identical in appearance and style to the one that Dilpoel had given him.

This means that for Penny, the woman's identity is very noteworthy.

However, the woman's actions seemed to be a little further away from the purpose of the grave keeper, at least Penny thought that it was impossible for a grave keeper to come to Waterdeep with a bomb that could cause so much trouble as stealing corpses.

You see, there is no record of a relationship between the Kelburn Black Rod and the Imasca.

"By the way, at the behest of Lady Chadland, I'm here to inform the surviving Masters that the psyker named Beliameil is now being apprehended at the highest level of our life. Carlos Mystic Pupil said, "So I took the liberty of asking for your opinions, and I don't know if anyone would be willing to help us." ”

"Help you?" Elder Miria frowned, "If the Deepwater Society, which is full of talents, can't do anything about that woman, what role can we outsiders do?"

"My lord, the recent disaster cost the Society nearly half of its wizards, including our Lord Tirasbel. A hint of grief appeared on Carlos's arcane pupil's face: "And most of our remaining people are in the Tower of Order to maintain the city's mystery, I'm afraid we won't be able to spare more energy, not to mention that you need to know the power of that thief, I'm afraid that most of the spellcasters in the guild will only have one way to defeat when they encounter her." ”

"But so are we, that psionic is terrifying, Mr. Mystic Pupil. Not paying attention to the reaction of others, Miria replied to herself, "Please allow us to give you the answer after thinking about it." ”

The notion of this answer was tantamount to a rejection, and the messenger of the Lady Chadland obviously understood this, but he was not discouraged, he only passed on the news, and there must be brave men under the reward, and most wizards were rational and calm, and probably would not take great risks to hunt down the guy who was not under the heir of the black rod, and still carried a dangerous weapon.

"Wait. ”

He said hello and was about to leave, but was stopped again, and he turned around and looked at Penny, who had stopped him, with some surprise.

"You're saying you're keeping the lock, so it's hard for that woman to escape Waterdeep?"

"Yes, sir, the Locks seal the inside and outside of Waterdeep intact, and while they may not seem to be tight, once inside the Alert Zone, our most elite wizards will immediately lock onto her tracks and use the power of the Locks to attack her. Chadland's messenger replied, "So it was difficult for her to break out, especially since Lord Chadran had already locked her position through magic. ”

"Is it 'down the mountain'?"

Penny's rhetorical question made Carlos stunned for a moment, and then took a breath: "Sir, you are so smart. ”

The wizard shook his head, it wasn't hard to guess, if the city was locked off by the Locks, there weren't many paths available to that dangerous thief.

The giant labyrinth left behind by the black robes of Helast seems to be a good idea, you know, the mysteries of Waterdeep can't affect it, as an underground lair of wizards, the barrier 'under the mountain' will only be more complicated.

Such a reaction seemed to give Carlos a little hope, and before leaving, he bowed respectfully again:

"This ...... Regardless of the outcome of the two adults' considerations, I still hope that more people can help Waterdeep at this critical juncture, and we will not forget this kindness. ”

"Diesel, what do you think?" Elder Miria frowned, as if sensing something from Penny's thoughtful expression, "That's the mad wizard's lair. ”

"I think you might as well go in and have a look, Mistress Milia, and go back to Simon first. Penny smiled at the elder, "Let me stay here for now." ”

"Oh, it's not a good choice, Diesel, we're just a small wizarding guild. She shook her head, the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes deepened, and they were full of disapproval: "This pool of muddy water is not easy to wade, not to mention that it is under the mountain, many wizards I know are buried there, there are indeed many opportunities there, but more monsters." ”

"Thank you very much for your concern, but I have made up my mind, so don't dissuade me. Penny smiled and expressed his stubbornness, and Elder Miria had no choice but to leave a gem behind.

"Mr. Diesel, if you encounter unpredictable danger, this otherworldly teleportation gem may be able to help you once. ”

This gift flattered Penny, who could save him once if he was accidentally catapulted to an unpredictable alien plane by some kind of magic - though the consequences were equally unpredictable, but better than hopeless.

"You're welcome, I'll remember you saved me once. Elder Miria shook her head and sighed, and after a while, left the abode with a little regret.

Penny walked back into the room, the light in his four big eyes focused on his face, making him stunned for a moment, he looked at the well-equipped Lannie and Nephes, "You're all ready?"

"You're the only one missing. Lanny frowned, and Nephis scurried up to him, her eyes full of anticipation.

This is the first time I've been working with an adult, and this time I'm not going to be holding back.

She touched her bulging waist, where she carried a few gems that she could throw at a fast pace.

"Alright, let's go. Penny nodded, picked up the little girl, and slowly walked out of the room.
