Chapter 669

There are dozens of openings in the surrounding area, plus side roads, which can lead to hundreds of places, just like a huge and complicated maze.

If you explore the past one by one, I don't know how much time it will take. Traveling to the unknown is taboo in the Underdark, and the beholder must have laid magical traps in many directions and sideways, waiting to catch the enemy.

Even in Izzyt's experience, the situation felt tricky.

However, this did not bother Raistlin.

The all-seeing eye just scanned a few times, and immediately found the real passage. Those openings are all fake, used to hide people's eyes and ears, the real passage is blocked behind a boulder, tightly blocked, without any magic fluctuations, and without magic circle cover, it is very difficult to detect.

But it is too obvious under the perspective of the all-seeing eye.

"This way."

Raistlin pointed to a location, and his teammates looked over.

It was a huge boulder more than four meters high, protruding from the rock wall, surrounded by a stalactite, which looked normal, and there were countless rocks like this in the cave.

He flashed to cast a spell, and a huge transparent hand emerged, pushing the boulder sideways.

Amidst the rumbling sound, the dark hole behind the stone was revealed.

The teammates' faces were stunned.

This hole is very hidden, coupled with the misleading passages around it, it is difficult for ordinary people to find it. Given enough time they might be able to find it, but not as efficiently as Raistlin, who could find it almost at a glance.

Everyone was almost numb.

They had been with Raistlin for so long, and they gradually discovered that Raistlin's sensing, vision, and detection abilities were unbelievably strong, and nothing seemed to be able to hide from his eyes. The effect of a series of detection spells.

Izzet was promoted to a holy demon hunter, but he was still far inferior to Raistlin in this respect.

At first everyone thought it was the advantage of the spellcaster, but later they realized that they were thinking too much. There is absolutely no second legendary wizard in the world who is more terrifying than Raistlin.

Not knowing what his teammates were thinking, Raistlin stood at the hole and looked in.

The entrance of this cave is extremely dark, it gets darker the further you go in, and you can't see your fingers. About 100 meters away from the entrance of the cave, the light disappears without a trace after entering.

"Dark curtain, magic alarm, skeleton trap..."

He identified four or five spells, so he raised his hand to cast a spell. After a few invisible magic fluctuations, the darkness receded, all the spell traps were dispelled, and the magic alarm was also cleverly canceled, without warning the beholder.

The passage in front of him forked and turned into two roads.

Raistlin flew over and listened carefully for a few seconds. His all-seeing eyes observed the difference between the two roads, and quickly found the correct route.

"left."

The teammates didn't know how he judged, but they all believed him unconditionally and followed closely.

For a while, he moved forward in the passage, twisted and turned, and went deep underground. Every once in a while there would be a fork in the road, turning into two, three, or even four or five roads, and Raistlin quickly found the right one every time, almost without wasting time.

There were magic traps along the way from time to time, and Raistlin always detected them in advance and then easily cracked them.

Through these traps, Raistlin roughly judged the strength of the beholder elder. He should be a legendary middle-level man. He mastered a lot of spells, including elements, arcane, mind, and shadow. The caster level would not exceed fifteen. class.

If he didn't know it in advance, he might have thought that he was going to face a mage next.

In fact, the elder beholder is the most typical beholder magician!

Any enemy who is a specialized spellcaster cannot be underestimated, even if the opponent is only a legendary mid-level. Raistlin cast the vision of the mind and shared this information with his teammates.

After a dozen forks in the road, Raistlin stopped suddenly.

"Almost at its lair."

Not far ahead is the end of the passage, and in the faint light, the outline of a huge cave can be vaguely seen.

There are several short but very strong guards at the exit of the passage, wearing metal armor, carrying warhammers or axes, sitting or lying there lazily.

"The gray dwarf." Izzet said in his heart.

The teammates knew that the gray dwarves were one of the most common races in the Underdark, second only to the dark elves in number. Like the dwarves on the surface, they are proficient in exercise and craftsmanship, but they do not have the loyalty and kindness of the dwarves on the surface. They are out-and-out evil creatures, and their hearts are full of hatred for outsiders.

The largest war in the Underdark is the war between the dark elves and the gray dwarves.

The two sides have fought for tens of thousands of years in order to compete for water sources, wealth and territory. As long as they meet, it will be the result of life and death.

But at the same time, the dark elves and duergars will also enslave each other and torture them to death.

Raistlin took a look.

Gray dwarves are born with low-light vision, and their eyesight is slightly worse than that of dark elves, which makes them suffer in the Underdark.

At this moment, these gray dwarves were completely unaware of the movement in the passage.

He gently wiped his neck towards Izzet.

The demon hunter nodded, and the figure disappeared. The next moment, he appeared at the end of the passage. The moment his figure appeared, sword beams as thin as a hair flashed, cutting the throats of several gray dwarf guards. There was no sound during the whole process.

Raistlin opened a free door, and his teammates passed through to reach the exit of the tunnel.

Looking around, a strange cave came into view.

The interior space of this cave is very regular, the ground is flat, and the edge is a circle with a diameter of about 500 meters. The surrounding rock walls and domes are very flat, like a hemisphere turned upside down.

Obviously, it was excavated by hand.

There are a large number of houses built on the ground of the circular cave, most of which are gathered in a range of more than 200 meters in the middle. The river water forms the moat.

There are guards patrolling the city wall, and the land outside the city wall is not vacant. It is planned into fields full of mushrooms.

In the Underdark, mushrooms are the staple food of intelligent races.

This small city built in a cave opened everyone's eyes. However, what attracted their attention the most was a tall tower rising from the city!

It is built in the center of the town and is also the dot of the cave, which is very conspicuous.

"Mage Tower!"

Barack let out an exclamation in his heart.

Everyone else's eyes became serious, and even Raistlin was a little apprehensive.

The mage's tower is called the wizard's tower in the empire, which actually means the same thing. There is a world of difference in strength between a spellcaster with a mage tower and a spellcaster without a mage tower.

Ren himself also has a tower, which is very clear.

If the beholder hides in the mage's tower and cannot come out, even if there is a holy rank of Izzet on his side, it will be difficult to kill it for a while.

A spellcaster sitting in a high tower is strong enough to resist the attack of a holy rank.

"Will beholders also build mage towers?" Daensos asked strangely.

Izzy shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

He grew up in the dark region, and he is no stranger to the beholder clan, but this is the first time he has heard of such a bizarre thing.

The beholder is extremely intelligent, but has not developed the inheritance of building the mage tower.

The mage tower first originated from the elves, and was later learned by humans. Only these two races have mastered the ability to build the mage tower.

Raistlin watched carefully for a moment.

"This mage's tower has been built for more than six hundred years. It must not have been built by the beholder itself, but was occupied by it." He is the person who is most familiar with the mage's tower, and the distance is not far, and the all-seeing eye can barely see the mage. Inside the tower, the doorway was quickly seen.

"Mage towers also have strengths and weaknesses."

"The construction method of this mage tower is very old, and it should have been passed down from the hands of drow mages. Its energy utilization efficiency is low, and it is far inferior to the current mage tower."

"Moreover, the Mage Tower has not yet been built, and it lacks a lot of power."

Raistlin had some guesses in his mind that the original owner of this mage tower was likely to be a legendary mage of a dark elf. He spent countless efforts and a lot of wealth to build the tower, and only the tower body was built. stopped.

It is very likely that the drow mage has died accidentally.

Later, a beholder discovered the half-completed Mage Tower, took it as his own, and used the Mage Tower as a basis to control slaves, search for wealth and resources, and try to complete the tower.

No wonder that beholder is only a legendary mid-level, but can control the entire kuo-tao murloc tribe.

This area is also under its rule.

"Even if it wasn't built by itself, it's not easy to fight." Barack looked at the city under the mage's tower, "It still has so many slaves."

The population of small towns is around 2,000, and the ethnic composition is very mixed.

The most common ones are gray dwarves, night goblins, kuo-toa murlocs, cavemen, deep gnomes, etc., and even dark elves. In addition to these common underground races, there are many rare creatures, such as tall fungal giants.

All races are slaves to the beholders, serving the only master in this cave.

With this army of slaves, the beholders could have a monopoly.

"Will you fight?"

Izzy asked in a low voice.

Raistlin could see that he was hesitant, and that Daunthos was backing off a little. It would be unwise to attack a mage tower.

Athena's attitude is to fight or not to fight.

On the contrary, Barack is eager to try, a mage tower means huge wealth.

Raistlin thought about it, the beholder elder is very rare, and it happens to be a legendary mid-level, which is very suitable for the fusion of the main body Renn. If you miss this time, you don't know when you will have to wait. And he is also very interested in this mage tower, maybe he can get something from it.

Whether it is treasure or magic equipment, its value is no less than that of the dragon's treasure.

"I decided to give it a try."

Raistlin said: "If you think it's dangerous, you don't have to participate. I won't force you to take risks." After all, he is just a clone and can be resurrected, but his teammates can't.

"I'll do it with you!" Barack responded immediately.

Athena nodded slightly.

Seeing that the three of them had made a decision, Izzet and Dawensos did not quit. The dark elf smiled and said: "We are friends, of course we won't watch you take risks and not take action."

Dawnsos did not speak, but expressed his attitude with actions.

"good."

Raistlin looked back at the mage tower, thought for a while, and said, "The biggest difficulty in attacking a mage tower is to defeat its defenses. Leave this to me. You only need to be responsible for resisting the slave army of the beholders, and don't let them interfere with my attack." cast a spell."

"No problem." Athena said to herself: "I will not let the enemy come within ten steps of you."

Raistlin nodded and began to arrange tactics: "Before breaking through the mage tower, everyone should not get too close to it. This beholder is only a legendary mid-level, even if it has a mage tower, it is difficult to cast nine-ring spells without cost."

"Based on my calculations, it can cast nine-ring spells up to three times."

"The mage tower is not finished, and the internal magic circle is not complete. Every time I cast the nine-ring spell, it takes a long time to prepare, and the gap is more than a minute, so it is not as dangerous as you imagine. Just resist the first nine-ring spell Spells, the mage tower is ready for our attack."

His words reassured his teammates.

"Get ready to start."

Raistlin released the isolation force field to block the magic fluctuations and light and shadows. Daunthos opened the newly obtained Holy Tome of the Earth and blessed everyone with divine spells.

He also blessed everyone with Qihuan's advanced stone skin technique, spirit armor technique, acceleration technique and great strength technique.

In ten seconds, the strength of the whole team skyrocketed and reached its peak state.

But there was no rush to do it.

Raistlin activated the ten-ring true mirror image technique on the Staff of Endless Storm, a huge infusion of mana, and after a minute, he summoned a true mirror image that was exactly the same as himself, not only had independent will, but also had complete knowledge and spellcasting skills .

Then, both Raistlin cast Mirror Image, and suddenly twenty-six Raistlins appeared around them.

The last time I saw Raistlin's mirror image group was fighting the Balor Balrog, so I didn't have time to take a closer look. This time, observing Raistlin's transformation from one person to twenty-six at a close distance, even though they had been mentally prepared, the teammates were still shocked to see so many Raistlins around them.

One Raistlin is so powerful, twenty Raistlins...

"Wizards are rogues!"

Barack looked at his soul gun, and said sourly, with indescribable envy in his eyes.

Dawnsos also nodded in agreement.

Even Izzet, who had already been promoted to the holy rank, sighed in his heart. If he fought with Raistlin, he would not even be 30% sure.

And Raistlin is currently only a legendary high-level.

When Raistlin was promoted to Holy Soul Wizard, the gap in strength was even greater.

The most frightening thing is that Raistlin is just Wren's clone. Every time I think of this fact, the three of Yizit feel very speechless. After such a long time, they often still find it unbelievable.

Only Athena's psychology is relatively balanced. The stronger Renn is, the happier she is.

Raistlin didn't think much of it.

With a thought, in addition to the main body, the real mirror image and the twenty-five mirror images cast spells at the same time, the spear of light with eight rings!

A few seconds later, amethyst light spears were created, surrounding everyone.

More than 300 light spears formed a magnificent torrent, crowding the entire passage, if it wasn't covered by the magic force field, it would have been discovered long ago.

"go!"

Raistlin pointed softly, and the torrent of spears of light swarmed out of the passage, rushed into the cave, and shot straight at the mage tower.
