Chapter 674

"I always keep my word." Raistlin said calmly.

1.7 million gold shields is not a lot to him, but it is not so much as to make him change his principles, which is equivalent to the moderate meaning in the mouth of a rich man in his previous life.

"good!"

Barack was overjoyed and praised loudly: "It's really worth it to make friends with you!"

Izzet didn't take it seriously, and immediately corrected him: "Friendship can't be measured by money."

"That is, that is. I have never seen so much money in my life. I was too excited, so I said the wrong thing." The Paladin Ranger quickly explained.

Everyone understood that Barack didn't mean that. Seeing that he was speaking incoherently, they couldn't help laughing.

"You divide the gold and magic items equally now." Raistlin said: "The remaining gems, crystals, magic alloys and other alchemy materials, also count the total, and I will buy them all at the market price."

Barack agreed, "Haha, leave it to me."

Even though Izzet and Dawensos were not keen on wealth, they would not refuse such a large amount of money at their fingertips.

"Do I have a share too?" Athena asked with a smile.

She was the one who cared the least about wealth. The Titan grew up in the Temple of Storms and had no worries about food and clothing. He didn't have a deep concept of money. In terms of weapons and equipment, Elder Solim also prepared the best, including a legendary shield, so few things could impress her.

"certainly."

Raistlin nodded, "You are our teammate, so you must have a part."

Barack was already counting the gold, and suddenly he turned around and laughed and said, "Athena, if you want to give up, you can give up. Anyway, Ren is so rich, and you don't need it. In this way, the three of us can get more than ten Ten thousand gold shields."

"I'm not going to take advantage of you, a money fanatic, even if you don't have a gold shield." Athena resolutely refused.

Barack's dark face suddenly collapsed.

Others laughed.

Even people who are not keen on wealth will be very happy to suddenly get more than 400,000 gold shields, and there is a burst of laughter in the warehouse.

"I'm going to check the other rooms in the Mage Tower."

Raistlin teleported away with a word.

The Obsidian Tower, which is more than 130 meters high, is only half the height of a normal mage tower, and its internal space has also shrunk to one-third, but it is still very spacious for humans. The whole tower is divided into ten floors, from the bottom to the height, and each floor has a different function.

The lowest floor is the base of the tower, which has the largest space, and all of them are connected to form a huge palace.

This was originally the place where Kwesasen received his servants. There were slave guards standing guard all the time, and a barracks was set up in the side hall to provide the guards with a place to rest. The beholder did the same thing after taking over. Its most valued drow guards lived on the first floor, and they were all sent out just now, and they were all killed.

Starting from the second floor is the domain of the tower master.

This is usually the dormitory for mage apprentices and students, and it is also a place where legendary mages impart magical knowledge.

The third floor is the primary magic laboratory and public discussion area, which can call a small amount of energy from the mage tower.

The fourth floor is the intermediate magic laboratory, alchemy room, and material warehouse, which can only be used with the permission of the tower owner.

The fifth floor is the most important part of the entire mage tower. A huge rune circle is arranged on the entire floor, absorbing various energies from the space around the tower, regardless of the nature of the energy, elements, arcane energy, and shadows are all fine. The energy will be converted and stored to supply the operation of the mage tower.

The capacity of the energy storage array is limited, and the absorption and output efficiency also has an upper limit.

Raistlin checked, the energy storage circle of the Obsidian Tower was the earliest magic circle completed by Kwessarsen, and the storage capacity was only a quarter of his own in the Wizard Tower of Wedzeland.

In the previous battle, 30% of the energy was consumed, and it would take about a week to fully recover.

The energy storage circle is already powerful enough.

But the core of Biola is still very different. Just because of the infinite energy, the energy storage circle will never be able to match it. Not to mention that the energy output of Iola's core is frighteningly high, so it can keep the floating city flying in the sky.

There is no entrance and exit on the fifth floor where the energy storage circle is located, and only the owner of the tower can teleport in.

Further up is the sixth floor.

Under normal circumstances, various functions will be built from the sixth floor to the highest tenth floor, such as the residence of the tower owner, the highest-level magic laboratory, magic garden, etc., but the Obsidian Tower is different, except for the control core on the top floor , the bottom six, seven, eight, nine, the entire four floors are all used to arrange the rune array.

It is the "Hess magic circle" used to assist in the construction of the nine-ring spell.

When Raistlin saw the name of this magic circle from the tower log, he immediately thought of the "White Tower of Hess" in the Elven Kingdom!

It is the first mage tower in the world. It was built more than 7,000 years ago, and it still stands today. The wisdom and magic knowledge of countless elf mages are stored in the tower.

The Archmage Tecles that Ryan knew was the Chief Archmage of Hess White Tower.

Judging from the name, the Hess magic circle is most likely from the Hess White Tower.

Even, the reason why the elves have so many archmages, far more than human holy soul wizards, is probably because of the existence of the Hess magic circle, which reduces the difficulty of being promoted to an archmage.

If this is the case, the Hess magic circle must be the top secret of the elves.

Kwisasen was lucky to get it.

Now I have fulfilled myself.

Raistlin checked up from the sixth floor, and it took more than two hours to reach the ninth floor. After seeing it, he couldn't help shaking his head. Kvesasen has only completed about 40% of the Hess magic circle, and this is still counting the energy storage circles on the bottom layers. If you only look at the Hess magic circle, the progress is less than 20%.

Mage Kevisason's understanding of the Hess magic circle is not thorough enough, and there are flaws in many places that need to be corrected.

But he is ten thousand times better than the beholder elder!

The beholder also completed a small part of the magic circle, only a few percent, but it was full of loopholes, adding to the chaos. All the magic circles it arranged had to be erased, not only wasting materials in vain, but also wasting my own time.

Raistlin was speechless, the beholder might as well just do nothing...

Going back to the tenth floor, which is the highest top floor, the corpse of the beholder is still there, and a gust of wind blows in from the big hole pierced by Thor's Spear.

With a thought in his mind, Raistlin saw the list of spells from the Obsidian Tower.

First, the protective barrier was reactivated. With a buzzing sound, the energy flowed through the entire tower, and a transparent shield appeared and then fell silent. It will only be triggered when it is attacked.

Then there is an eight-ring Higher Restoration, pointing to the opening of the hall.

A few seconds later, the falling rocks and materials at the foot of the Obsidian Tower flew up from the ground as if time had flown back, and re-formed a magic wall in mid-air, blocking the hole perfectly, as if it had never been broken.

Then teleport the beholder's body out and throw it outside the city.

The caves were littered with dead bodies, which would soon rot and stink if left untreated, polluting the only water source.

Raistlin waved his hand, and the walls around the hall became transparent, and the town below the tower and the entire cavern could be seen.

He began to mobilize energy to cast spells.

One after another random doors opened, and twelve mirror images of Raistlin walked in, appearing in various parts of the cave, grabbing the scattered corpses with the hands of a mage, and gathering them together. The beholder was very stingy. Except for the few legends, the slaves' weapons and equipment were not worth much, so he didn't bother to search for them, and piled them up into a dozen hills.

The tower sent a torrent of flames, setting the pile of corpses ablaze.

The cave was illuminated by red fire.

Moments later, the corpses of more than two thousand slaves and beholders were burned to ashes.

Raistlin's emotions didn't fluctuate at all. In his eyes, these underground creatures were enemies of evil. Their hands were stained with the blood of sin, and they didn't feel guilty about killing them.

And in order to protect the secrets of the Obsidian Tower, the slaves cannot be allowed to leave.

This cave has four passages that can be entered and exited. Raistlin asked the mirror image to go through all of them, and directly blocked the entrances with rocks and soil. The passages also rearranged camouflage and magic traps to prevent people from accidentally breaking in.

In the end, he also closed the door under the Obsidian Tower, activated the invisible force field, and hid the entire tower in the shadows.

It's hard to see the mage tower unless you get close enough to break the invisibility field.

After finishing all this, Raistlin returned to the fourth floor warehouse.

"Is it cleared up?"

"Raistlin, you came just in time." Barack stood beside the wall made of gold nuggets, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "We just finished the liquidation, and the total value of these alchemy materials is more than 820,000 gold shields. One point, you just need to give us 800,000 gold shields."

"So generous, don't even want 20,000 gold shields?" Raistlin was a little surprised, this was not like Barack's character.

"hey-hey……"

The Holy Gun Ranger is very embarrassed, if his skin is not dark enough, he will find that he is already blushing.

Raistlin probably guessed what was going on, he was probably lectured by Izzet, and he didn't tease him any more, which triggered the transfer of the king's car and let Renn come from Glamorgan.

Ren took out the prepared gold shield from the nebula ring and said, "This is 800,000 gold shields, do you want to count it?"

Open the lid of several large boxes, which are full of imperial gold shields.

"no, I'm fine!"

Barack stared straight at him, shaking his head again and again, "We trust you."

Every time Ren appeared in front of his teammates, it would bring them a lot of pressure. Izzet's attention quickly shifted to Ren, and he was keenly aware of the change in Ren's breath, and he couldn't help but secretly startled. Ren is getting stronger and stronger!

"Speaker Rennes." Daw Ensos bowed and saluted.

Ren nodded, and it took a minute for Wang Che to re-activate, so he said: "We rested in the Obsidian Tower for half a day, then set off, and went directly to the middle layer of the Underdark."

Barack, who was distributing the treasure, couldn't help turning around and asking in surprise, "So fast?"

"Well, the plan has changed." Ren explained: "There is a teleportation array left by Kvisassen on the top floor of the Obsidian Tower, which leads to the middle layer of the Underdark. There are records in the tower log, and Kvisasson often passes through this The teleportation array returns to Menzoberranzan, I checked it just now, and the teleportation array is still working."

"Menszoberranzan..." Izzet murmured in a low voice, his expression very complicated.

This dark elf city is his hometown, the place where he grew up, has countless memories, most of which are painful pasts that cannot be recalled, but some are happy times.

According to the original route, you have to continue walking on the upper level for three or four days before you can enter the middle level.

Then advance for about seven days in the middle layer, pass through another dark elf city, and then walk for about three days to reach Menzoberranzan City.

Menzoberranzan is the only way to go to the entrance to the lower part of the Underdark.

It is definitely a good thing to be able to save half a month's journey by teleporting from the Obsidian Tower.

Ren glanced at the dark elf and continued: "The teleportation array will not send us directly to Menzoberranzan City. It is about half a day away from the city. The location is very hidden, so you don't have to worry about safety."

The teammates nodded in agreement.

"It's done!"

With quick hands and feet, Barack divided the gold, the golden shield, and the twenty or thirty magical items into four parts, each of which had the same value.

"You take three copies first, and keep the last one as mine." The Holy Gun Ranger showed his fairness.

Izzet made a gesture of invitation to Athena: "Ladies first."

The giantess was also polite, and casually took a piece of treasure closest to her, and put it in the nebula ring.

Then Downsaw took the second copy.

Izzet also put a piece of treasure into the dimensional space ring, and Barack happily accepted the last one, smiling from ear to ear: "This time I am really rich! With this money, I can change into a new one." Good armor, and build two top-level soul guns!"

He looked at Ren and said expectantly: "Master Earl, if you have a chance to take risks in the future, you must call me..."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?" Ren asked playfully.

When you need to take risks by yourself, they are usually the most terrifying enemies. Although Barac is a legendary high-ranking Holy Gun Ranger and is extremely powerful, he will still die if he is not careful.

"For gold, I fear nothing!"

Barack slapped his chest loudly, and his face suddenly filled with a flattering expression, "Besides, isn't there you? With the strength of the Earl, there is no enemy that cannot be dealt with!"

"That's not necessarily true." Ren laughed dumbly.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered the experience of being hunted down by Master Ogulewei, and now he feels scared. If he said it, he would probably scare his teammates half to death.

At this time, the time for Wang Che to change position has come.

Raistlin switched back to the Obsidian Tower and teleported everyone to the top floor.

In addition to the wide hall on the top floor of the tower, there are several luxuriously furnished bedrooms beside it, but the furniture and decorations have long been decayed. Obviously, the beholder has basically never entered, and its size is not suitable for resting in the bedrooms.

Raistlin cast a spell to clean up, and he was instantly refreshed.

The teammates rested for half a day, and their mental and physical strength were restored to a full state.

A teleportation array appeared on the ground in the middle of the hall. Raistlin activated it, and instead of acting recklessly, he let a mirror image teleport there to confirm that the opposite side was safe, and then stood on the teleportation array with his teammates.

The scene in front of everyone's eyes changed, and they arrived at a dark cave in an instant.
