Broad World

Mershok, the god of snake people, is a god worshiped by cold-blooded creatures in ancient times. He lives in the seventy-fourth floor of the abyss——Smargard, where there is a warm and humid jungle with ever-changing colors. The whole country is filled with poisonous gas, no one knows how big it is, maybe there is no bottom layer at all, everything is hidden in layers of dense forests.

However, this god is a little unlucky. His voters, a Sarukh witch and another Sarukh witch, are old enemies. As a result, the incarnation was imprisoned by the evil god Set of Melhored. Later, the Sarukh Lich cast a powerful spell, forcing it into an eternal sleep, and there is no sign of waking up until now.

As for the unscrupulous voter who changed his family after he was imprisoned, abandoned and betrayed the god he served, and had no intention of trying to wake him up, this sleep is endless years, so except for those knowledgeable scholars and mages , Few people have heard of the name of the snake god Mershok, and some gods and demon lords even think that he is dead long ago.

Modern theology books have also completely removed him, so even priests may not have read relevant literature, not to mention adventurers with an illiteracy rate of more than 70%. According to hearsay, expensive books and materials are not affordable for ordinary people.

This is also the reason why Candlekeep is quite famous throughout Faerun. It is the first comprehensive library open to everyone. As long as you can afford the price, most of the precious books and documents inside are free to use. Read, copy.

Every year, countless mages, scholars, and people who are eager to change their destiny through knowledge come to this place, and they don't want to leave until they spend every gold coin on their bodies. You must know that the libraries in other places either have limited collections of books. Or not open to the public at all, so Candlekeep became the only option.

Tyrantyr's choice to make his home in High Hedge Castle was also due to the fact that it was relatively close to Candlekeep. After all, most mages' private libraries are not too comprehensive even if they are rich, unless they are unscrupulous like Henry.

Robbery, theft, high-priced bribes, kidnapping, extortion, threats, in short, search for all books and texts around the world through the intelligence network of the Thieves Guild. library.

"Ah... I found it... It should be this book." Tyrantyr rummaged through the bookshelves for a few minutes, and directly picked up one of the books called "Ancient Elves' Narrative Poetry", and quickly found what he needed. part.

I saw that it was written in elven characters:

Maiyeli Tower, the great kingdom of elves.

There is no war. There are no monsters and everyone lives a happy life.

But one day, a terrible monster fell from the sky,

It has a python-like body, huge meat wings, and can swallow a whole cow in one bite. Countless villages were destroyed and people were displaced.

At this critical moment, the powerful mage Bileg stepped forward and led the army to fight fiercely with the monster.

From sunrise to sunset. The fierce battle lasted for three days,

The poisonous cloud and acid mist ejected from the giant snake's mouth killed countless soldiers, and the strongest warrior could be smashed into meatloaf with a flick of its thick tail.

Seeing cannot kill monsters. The mage Bileg came to the ground alone, and cast a powerful sealing magic at the cost of his life.

In the end, the giant snake was imprisoned, and people also knew its origin.

A descendant of the snake-god Marshok--Crazy Serpent Kaleisen.

In order to thank Bileg for his great sacrifice, the residents built a huge mausoleum at the place where he died.

Not only to let the hero have a decent home, but also to permanently bury the terrible monster.

...

With the end of this narrative poem, Tyrantyr probably had an understanding of the monster hidden in the deepest part.

first. This so-called Crazy Snake Kaleisen is likely to be a divine creature. After all, Melshak is a real god, and his descendants will not be much different even if they are not demigods. How could magic power not kill him?

Secondly, the opponent's main ability is to spit out poisonous mist. Judging from the description, at least the antidote potion and magical spells will probably have no effect.

Finally, but also the most important point. This giant snake should be in a sealed state now, and those snake people are probably planning to break the seal and let this terrifying monster be free again.

"The seal from more than 10,000 years ago... must be very weak now, I have to prepare for battle quickly." The old mage put the book back where it was, and walked quickly towards the warehouse.

Because it is the first time to deal with a divine creature. So Tyrantier planned to make more preparations, because guys with divinity tended to be very resistant to magic. Hitting low-level spells on it is almost like scratching an itch. If you don't take some targeted measures, you may be in a hard fight.

But he didn't notice at all that the crystal ball, which had a clear image, seemed to have been disturbed by something, and suddenly began to become blurred, and it exploded into pieces with a bang after only a few seconds.

At the same time, the adventure team that was desperately fleeing to the depths of the ruins also encountered a huge crisis...

"Gods! Is this the huge snake in the mural?" Karan asked tremblingly while holding up his shield.

What stood in front of him at this moment was a giant snake made of interlinked copper rings, which seemed to be more than six meters long, with blue and white eyes shining, and its powerful jaw equipped with a pair of shocking fangs, What dripped from the fang holes was not venom, but crackling sparks.

But what is strange is that this giant snake hasn't made any attack since it appeared a few minutes ago, and it firmly blocked the door behind it, as if it would be fine as long as it didn't get close.

The poet Ashley approached carefully for a closer look, then immediately stepped back and shook her head: "No, this is not the giant snake in the relief, it's more like some kind of construct, its body is completely made of bronze , and also lacks a pair of wings behind it, I think it should be a guard made by the caster."

"Damn it! What should we do now? The snake man behind is coming soon. If we can't pass through that door, we will be overwhelmed by countless enemies."

The tremendous pressure finally made Karan lose control of his emotions, and he began to curse loudly in frustration, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a beast that was cornered.

Obviously, the power of the Bronze Snake Construct far exceeds the limit that the adventure team can deal with. Ordinary standard weapons can leave a trace at most, and even the magic equipment and scrolls in Liv's hands can hardly cause too much damage. Big damage, and the passage is not spacious. There is not even a room to dodge, and trying to force it through is no different from courting death.

With the road ahead impassable and countless pursuers behind them, the team fell into an unprecedented desperate situation.

Just when everyone was feeling desperate, Liv suddenly jumped up and slapped her forehead and shouted: "I figured out a way! We can hide and let the snake people think we have passed through that door. This way they are very There might be a fight with the Bronze Serpent, and we'll be able to escape."

I have to say that she is really very courageous, even under such conditions, she did not show any fear, but was a little excited. It's as if I don't know what it means to be afraid.

Maybe it's because I haven't really experienced the horror of death, maybe it's a serious lack of awe, in short, it's definitely different from normal people in terms of psychology.

"Good idea! We can dig a hole in the wall." Dempsey suggested with bright eyes.

"Then what are you waiting for? Dig quickly, the snake man may catch up at any time."

Talking about Karan turning the magic ring into a shovel, he quickly found a relatively soft wall and dug desperately. The strong "rice bucket" was not idle, waving a two-handed ax to break the hard soil layer, Dempsey She and Ashley are responsible for moving the soil, and the two little girls are helping.

The instinct to survive pushed everyone beyond their limits, and in a matter of minutes a hole big enough to hold them all was dug. Although it is short and cramped, it is definitely no problem for hiding.

Without time to hesitate, Karan threw the two little guys into the innermost place without saying a word, and then the rest of the people got in one by one, and finally he filled the hole with soil, leaving only a few small holes for ventilation and observe the situation outside.

Facts proved that they were indeed very lucky. Just ten seconds after the entrance of the cave was sealed, a large group of snake people swarmed in. There were at least one or two thousand people, and there were quite a few mages. The guy with the red mark on his head was also among them.

When the snake-man warrior rushing to the front found the construct guarding the door, he immediately turned around and rushed to the back with a hissing sound, and the mighty troop that was marching forward immediately came down. A few guys dressed as mages came to the front, and they also made a hissing sound when they got together. I don't know what is being discussed.

"Why did they stop? Shouldn't they attack immediately?" Karan asked in a low voice while observing the situation outside through the small hole.

Ashley glanced through another small hole, then lowered her voice and replied, "I'm probably discussing countermeasures. After all, that giant bronze snake is not an easy character to deal with. Maybe someone will start fighting after a while."

"I hope they don't drag on for too long, otherwise there won't be enough air here." After speaking, Dempsey sighed slightly.

In order to ensure that it will not be discovered, the soil at the door is quite tightly blocked. In addition, the cave space is very small and there are so many people. At most ten minutes will start to lack oxygen, and it will be impossible not to think about it.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, Liv, who was hiding inside, suddenly showed a strange smile on her face: "Hee hee! I have a way to make these snake people rush forward!"

As soon as the words fell, she closed her eyes and cast an unknown zero-level spell. There was a huge roar at the end of the passage, like thousands of troops galloping. The sound became louder and louder, and anyone with a little common sense could hear it It was the sound of the roaring flood.

Obviously, anyone who is not a fool understands the consequences of being flooded in the narrow underground passage, so the snake man immediately panicked and rushed towards the only way out.

The bronze giant snake was also unequivocal, and launched an attack on the intruders, biting the guy in front to death with a single bite with its sparkling teeth, and then quickly coiled up its thick body, killing more than a dozen people in the blink of an eye. The unlucky egg was squeezed into meat sauce... (to be continued~^~)
