"What's going on?" The explosion in the teleportation hall was silent, but the collapse of a large amount of earth and debris around it caused a firework to rise above the explosion site, which was very pleasing to the eye if you didn't consider 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 sighed 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・・・・・・" Nephess 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, it's really a wizard in the depths of the city, and it seems that we, the lowly attendants and guards, didn't have the opportunity 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 Nephies up; Come on, baby, let's stay away from this scheming guy - you're so loyal

He doesn't let you know anything, that sooner or later such a guy will sell you, and that we'd better leave him together to wander around Faerun, alas! ”

Mistress Lannie ・・・・・, and the little girl held her neck and looked at the wizard with tears in her eyes, and under the gaze of this gaze, no matter how pure and immaculate, people would unconsciously begin to reflect on themselves whether they had inadvertently committed any sins.

・・・・・ Penny and the two girls looked at each other for a while, nodding helplessly; Okay#, I'll admit that I stayed for a purpose, because I just looked through the information and found that something very important to me was near Waterdeep. ”

"Important to you?" Lannie frowned.

"You should remember when I first came to Waterdeep, I fainted. The wizard explained; I've once gained considerable power from a magical artifact, but it's also unstable and requires something to maintain, one of which is hidden beneath 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 turns out that Bu Yu is a lucky guy. ”

The wizard noticed that the woman's expression was noticeably better when she heard her explanation, and the distance between them seemed to be much closer.

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 was not as unreasonable as she thought.

However, it occurred to Penny that perhaps the reason she didn't continue was because she didn't know much about the Offah, 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?, does our wizard think it's reasonable to leave us alone 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 in 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 wet. ”

Penny hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly; Well, since that's what you're asking for, but... ・・Lanny・・・・・・ My destination is Yamashita,. ”

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; The 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's the Moon Sea region or the Desperate Eastern Deepwater City, the distance is quite far, and it's normal to not know the bottom of 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 them.

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.

The Black Robe of Hylaster is an extremely powerful legendary mage, and many legends describe that the power of this archmage is by no means under the black rod of Ilminster and his good neighbor Kelburn, and the power of mana is so strong that it can be ranked in the entire multiverse.

Such wizards, not to mention dragons, even abyss lords who are several times more powerful than dragons, and even Doomsday Destroyers, can do it alone, if they put their monsters 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 eager to move, and she was answered by Penny, cheering;

"Great, my lord, I finally have a chance to try 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 raised an eyebrow at Penny.

"Of course・・・・・・ you can. ”

"But where should we go first?" Lannie frowned slightly; Do you know where to get into that damn 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 Winding Mountain and returned unharmed, he opened a tavern in Waterdeep called Sleepy Portal, where there is a passage underneath that should be able to reach the underground of Waterdeep, and we will go and say goodbye to Miria first. ”

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

"Oh, this is the Mystic Pupil of Carlos, Lady Chadland's emissary. Elder Miria pointed to the half-elf; I'm here to inform you of some things・I'm sure you will also be interested in Diesel. ”

In the teleportation hall, Penny saved her life in time, and this kindness made the elder feel more favorable towards Penny, and now when he spoke, not only was he more polite, but his tone naturally became softer.

"Hello, Mr. Arcane Pupil... Panny 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 more artistic and modify words are a bit difficult 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 was more than we expected. ”

"The sky is unpredictable. Penny waved his hand, noticing what Elder Miria had just said; By the way, Mr. Arcane 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. There was a hint of concern on Carlos' face; She can only lie in bed now and issue orders, and the power that hurts her is too weird

Now, the gods can't do anything about it, and we've sent an invitation to Lord Ilminster to the south, hoping that the legendary arcane can heal this injury, but the archmage doesn't know which plane to travel to, let's take the time being

Can't reach him. ”

"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.

It's just because of this woman's weird 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, there was the little box, which Penny had only glanced at, but it was enough to notice that it looked and looked exactly like the one that Dilpoel had given him.

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

However, this woman's actions seem to be far from the purpose of guarding the tomb, at least Penny thinks that a grave keeper can't take that bomb Chan, which could cause countless troubles, to Waterdeep City to steal 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 our highest level. "Carlos Pupil of the Law said here;" So I took the liberty of asking for your opinions, and I don't know if anyone would be willing to help us. ”

"Helping you?" Elder Miria frowned; If the talent-rich Deepwater Association can't do anything about that woman, what role can we outsiders play?"

"My lord, the recent disaster cost the Society nearly half of its wizards, including our Lord Tirasbel. "A few traces of grief appeared on Carlos' mystical pupil's face;" And most of us are in order

The Tower of Castle will not be able to keep the city locked down, not to mention the power of the thief, and I'm afraid that most of the spellcasters in the guild will only be defeated if 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; Allow us to give you the answer after thinking about it. ”,

The notion of this answer is tantamount to a refusal, and the messenger of the Lady Chadland obviously understands this, but he is not discouraged, he just delivers the news, and there must be brave men under the reward, and most wizards are rational and calm, and I am afraid that they will not take great risks to hunt down the guy who is not under the strength of the heir of the black rod, and still carries a dangerous weapon.

"Wait. ”

He said hello and prepared to leave, but was stopped again, 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 too tight, once in 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 hard for her to force her way out, not to mention that Lord Chadland 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; You are so clever sir. ”

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.

And the giant labyrinth left behind by the black robe of Hylaster seems to be a good idea, you know, the mystical lock of Waterdeep City can't affect there, as a wizard's underground cavern, the enchantment under the mountain will only be more complicated.

This 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 to read something from Penny's thoughtful expression; It was the lair of the mad wizard. ”

"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, full of disapproval; It's a muddy water, not to mention that it's down the mountain, and a lot of wizards I know are buried there, and there are a lot of opportunities there, but more of them are 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, and if he was accidentally catapulted to an unpredictable alien plane by some magic, this magic could save him once, and although the consequences were equally unpredictable, it was much better than no hope at all.

"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 to the room, the light in his four large eyes focused on his face, and he froze for a moment, he stared at the neatly equipped Lannie and Nephis; Are you 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.
