Thousands of years ago, before the rule of giants and the Elven Crown War, the forgotten realm of Faerûn was still in the era of dragon rule.
It was a dark and suffocating era!
Dragons, and even ordinary dragons, have been wreaking havoc, poisoning and overlooking the land of Faerûn.
They rely on their magic and innate advantages in size to rule this land and all lower races as they please, in order to keep other races in captivity and feed on their flesh and blood, so they are naturally at the top of the world's food chain and have never stopped.
Do not treat other races as human beings.
After all, at that time, Faerun's dragon clan had huge advantages in all aspects and an extremely large group, plus a large number of sub-vampire slaves and followers, which were far beyond the reach of the other 'lower' humanoid intelligent races.
Resistant.
Gradually, the dragon tribe's practice of enslaving and preying on other races year after year, and raising other non-dragon populations as 'food', naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among the elves at that time!
then!
From a certain moment on, the elves began to look for a way to escape the oppression of the dragon.
They secretly conducted research at any cost for many years in the northern part of Faerûn, in the icy north of the continent where dragons almost never set foot. In that freezing world, a large number of high-level mages and resources were used
are sent to the north in a steady stream.
But at the beginning, the research did not go smoothly. There were even many heated debates about costs and risks, and the plan was stalled several times.
But fortunately, in the end, the elves succeeded!
They concocted a magical magic called 'Dragon Madness Lock', which is a permanent masterpiece of magic jointly researched by the ancient elves' high-level mages. It is the most powerful spell in ancient times that is woven into the magic web.
one!
Outsiders don't know much about the 'Dragon Mad Lock', and to this day, even the elves themselves mostly don't admit that the 'Dragon Mad Lock' was done by their ancestors. People only know that the spell
The effect is related to the appearance of 'King Killer' in the sky, which almost surrounds the entire world of Faerûn and regularly drives the dragons in Faerûn involuntarily crazy!
That’s right!
Just crazy!
Moreover, it is still the kind of demonic madness that makes no distinction between friend and foe, ethnic group, familiarity, and will be attacked as long as it appears within the field of vision!
From this we can see how much of a blow the dragons suffered when they first encountered the 'Dragon Madness Lock'.
What's even more ingenious is that the Kingkiller Star appears in the sky frequently enough to allow the 'Dragon Madness Lock' to disrupt the Dragon Tribe's rule over Faerûn, but it is not so frequent or bad that it would stop the elves and other humanoids.
To what extent did the biological kingdom rise during the interlude of dragon madness?
Anyway!
That legendary spell that took effect intermittently, that magic like a blood curse completely restrained the dragons, causing the dragons to go mad and crazy intermittently, making it impossible for them to continue to maintain a large group and their rule over Faerûn.
.
After all, the 'Dragon Madness Lock' will make all dragons in Faerûn, including all dragons and hybrid creatures with dragon blood subtypes, become recklessly crazy, such as running wild in their land lairs.
, and even slaughtered their own descendants and servants, and that kind of frenzy, which did not distinguish between friend and foe, naturally gave the elves an excellent opportunity to get rid of the rule of the dragon, and it also marked the complete end of the dragon's rule over Faerûn.
That is, since then, the ancient, curse-like magic has existed and continues to this day, making the dragons who were originally at the top of the world of Faerûn act like madmen, occasionally wreaking havoc in this forgotten country.
According to records, dragon madness will erupt once every few decades or even centuries. It seems to be indeed related to the reappearance of King Killer, and will continue to affect dragons for dozens of days or even longer. At that time,
It’s also the perfect time for humanoids to slay dragons!
Come to think of it!
In that case, a crazy and lonely dragon is always much easier to hunt than those who are calm, intelligent, magical, organized, and have slaves.
Even better is that throughout history, although the intensity, breadth and duration of Dragon Madness have varied, the rules that depend on the astrological position of King Killer are universal. Therefore, the effect and duration of Dragon Madness can be
Being presumed in advance will inevitably make the Dragon Clan, which is already in a very bad situation, become more embarrassing and dangerous.
Just like the dragon madness that happened not long ago, it happened across the Moon Sea, the Valley, Cormyr and beyond, and caused the destruction of many cities and at least thousands of casualties!
Of course, there are many dragons killed and injured due to dragon madness!
But the specific details are not very clear to Dracolich Dogothos. He himself is not very concerned about the 'Dragon Madness Lock', but he only knows that taking advantage of that opportunity, he activated it while he was awake.
The long-prepared plan to replace Sammaster and become the leader of the Dragon Cult.
Moreover, he firmly believes that he will succeed?
Therefore, even when the hooded mage appeared in the ruins of Doblund's hanging city and openly cast a spell to attract his attention, when that guy appeared, he did not change his attitude at all.
The original intention appeared in front of the other party just as he wished.
Of course, he appeared in human form, and he was dressed almost the same as the other person, looking like a hooded human wizard.
"Drogothos..."
"It seems that you are not surprised at all by my appearance?"
"Too!"
"You've been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"
After getting Anne's assurance, the mysterious weirdo didn't ask her when she would take action, nor did he inform his enemy, that is, Dogothos, of Anne's existence. He just stood there with his arms folded.
The hanging island that was still intact in the ruins of Dobrund's Hanging City spoke quietly, and also revealed the identity of the 'wizard' who appeared opposite him.
"Ah!"
"Sammaster..."
"I knew that my plan would not be able to deceive you, but you finally came."
At the same time, Dogossus didn't know if he also saw Anne's existence, but he also took the initiative to find out the true identity of the mysterious and weird mage 'Sammaster', as if he wanted to provoke two people.
Contradictions or other differences between the parties.
However, he was quickly disappointed.
Because a certain bad little girl waiting in the distance didn't react much at all. She seemed not to know Sammaster's origins and some of his 'glorious' deeds, or she simply didn't mind?
"..."
"..."
Then, maybe the two of them seem to be the kind of characters who are ruthless and don't talk much. Maybe they are competing on some level?
then!
After taunting each other, they began to confront each other silently on the chain-suspended island, and no one was in a hurry to take action.
At this time, beneath the ruins of the hanging city where the two of them were, the hot dark red magma was still sizzling and flowing uneasily, as if foreshadowing the coming battle.
After a while, until a certain troubled little girl waiting in the distance became impatient, the motionless mage, that is, Sammaster, slowly broke the silence with a sneer.
"Ah!"
Staring coldly at the Dogothos in front of him, Sammaster seemed to have known about the lich's ambitions for a long time, but since he was here today, the other party's conspiracy would not succeed.
Although, the other party seemed to have anticipated his arrival?
"Drogothos..."
"You are still so cunning and insidious."
"If you want to replace my position, it may not be easy with your inferior lich body transformed by the mad mage Hulukarn?"
After sneering, Sammaster continued to mock.
"Hmph!"
"Sammaster..."
"You are already old!"
Dogothos sneered and retorted mercilessly:
"I see that your strength has begun to decline."
"Besides, as far as I know, you are no longer Smitra's chosen one. Azuth took away your power, right?"
"What are you using to fight me now?"
"listen to me……"
"It's time for you to abdicate and let me, Dogothos, rule the Dragon Cult!"
As he said that, Dogothos's body was like Sammaster's, huge magic power began to operate, and then certain magic also began to make relevant preparations.
"Yeah?"
"It seems I can't keep you here."
Shaking his head, Sammaster was not irritated by Dogothos's words. On the contrary, he seemed to be more determined to defeat Dogothos today.
"You are a wishful thinking guy..."
"I will let you big reptile know that even now I am not something you can peep at."
After saying that, Sammaster's tone suddenly became sharp, and at the same time, the tyrannical magic finally began to flow rapidly through his body.
There is no doubt that he is getting ready to work his magic.
"snort!"
"I am looking forward?"
And Dogothos showed no sign of weakness. While he sneered, he also began to whisper an obscure and unclear incantation.
"!!"
o(*^*)o
"Great! Those two weird uncles are finally fighting!" 0
(*)
Finally, amidst the nervous, excited and expectant laughter of a certain troubled little girl, the two people began to have fierce, short but extremely dangerous duels on the suspended island.
Even Anne had to admit that Sammaster's magic was very powerful, many times more powerful than the red-robed witch Sophie and Simon's half-baked warlock she had seen. But if it were those two people,
As that guy's opponent, are you afraid that you'll get burped in one or two rounds?
But fortunately, compared to that Sammaster, Dogothos's abilities are not too bad.
Even though Sammaster's magic was very powerful, fast and extremely powerful, he was still able to handle it with ease, at least in a short period of time?
that's it!
Both sides just used magic bullets, forgetfulness, fireballs, ice storms, magic clamps, death, finger-killing, spiritual confinement, curse-killing and other magics to bombard each other back and forth, just to put them away.
The other party is dead!
At the same time, various shields, seten spell immunity, energy-absorbing spells, etc. from both sides appeared in an endless stream at the right time, which made the little girl who was watching the battle in the distance and refused to help really enjoy watching it.
"good!"
Q(`⌒Q)
"Hit him!!"
(ˊ〇ˋ*)
At this time, a certain troubled little girl had obviously forgotten that she seemed to be with that Sammaster, and had even agreed to deal with the dracolich Dogothos together. She just suppressed it.
Excited voices watched the battle from a distance and continued to cheer for both sides.
You heard it right, both sides!
Anyway, if that Sammaster gains the upper hand, she will go and cheer for that Dogothos!
Instead, she went to cheer for the other side without even considering her own position.
However……
What made a worried little girl a little disappointed was that the battle between the two archmages, who could be said to be the top in the world of Faerûn, came to an end very quickly without any earth-shattering movement.
, that Gauthos gradually began to lose its strength and began to become helpless and embarrassed?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
finally!
Although there was no earthquake in Sammaster, the shock wave that oscillated out in all directions swept through the ruins of the hanging city of Dorumbude and blew Anne's skirt and hair into the unknown.
Under the attack of a famous magic, Dogothos let out a scream, flew dozens of meters upside down, fell to the ground and slumped to the ground.
"..."
Seeing this, the Sammaster continued to hold up the glowing wand in his hand and walked towards the loser.
"you lose."
"Dogothos, meet your destiny!"
That Sammaster said in a hoarse voice.
"??"
(′～`●)
"It seems that I don't need anyone at all!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
Seeing that the battle was almost over, Annie, who had previously promised to help, suddenly appeared on the hanging island, not far from the two of them.
"oh?"
"Look who this is?"
"Sammaster, you actually brought an assistant?"
Seeing Anne's appearance, Dogosos was not too surprised. He just struggled to stand up and mocked.
"She is not my assistant"
It's a pity that Sammaster didn't buy it and just said it calmly.
Too!
He had made an agreement with a bad little girl before, but in the end, she didn't come out unhurriedly until he finished all this. He was so tired that he wasted a lot of spell slots, and he was afraid that the next battle would be
He would have to bypass the magic net and use some cumbersome spells, which was not part of his plan.
So, it's strange that he has a good face now.
"Oh, is it?"
"but……"
"I didn't lose!"
At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity that Anne appeared and attracted Sammaster's attention, before Sammaster could continue to move forward, he approached and delivered a fatal blow to him. Dogothos suddenly changed direction and used
A certain magic blasted away a rock wall of the cave not far away in an instant.
Then, both Anne and Sammaster discovered that there was a permanent long-distance portal hidden in the rock wall of the cave. At this time, there were hundreds of Dai Dai on the other side of the portal.
Priests who bear the sun and land emblems that symbolize the Lord of the Morning?
"?!"
"!!"
"look!"
"Sammaster is over there!"
"quick!"
"Children of the Dawn, attack!"
"Destroy that evil!!"
Then, for some unknown reason, the hundreds of priests of the God of Dawn who gathered on the other side of the portal saw the portal being activated, and saw Anne, Sammaster and Dogothos on the other side, especially
After seeing Sammaster, they all rushed toward this side of the portal, making noises, as if they had been given blood.
"Well?!"
It can be seen that Sammaster seemed to be shocked by the unexpected situation.
"snort!"
"Dogothos, you are such a despicable and shameless person. Is this your plan?"
"Let these hundreds of losers besiege me?"
But he did not lose his calm. While he immediately turned his attention to the priests of the God of Dawn, he did not forget to taunt Dogothos who flashed into the distance.
"Hahaha!"
"Sammaster, your end has come!"
Faced with the ridicule, Dogothos didn't mind. He just laughed triumphantly and watched Sammaster being surrounded by hundreds of priests of the Lord of the Dawn.
"The Queen of Neverwinter..."
"What do you think?"
Unfortunately, Sammaster was not frightened by Dogothos' words. He just slowly turned his head and looked at a troubled little girl who was still watching the fun at this time.
"What do you think?"
()
"Of course you see it with your eyes!"
(=^▽^=)
Without thinking, Anne answered directly, and successfully made the hundreds of priests of some god look at her with surprise and uncertainty.
"laugh!"
(-)
"Don't worry, we will deal with that Lich Dragon, he will definitely not be able to escape!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
"but……"
乛乛
"They won't help you!"
|ω)
With that said, Annie didn't wait for the hesitant priests to gather around her, and then she flashed in the distance, appeared on another suspended island with iron ropes, and stood in front of the dragon wizard.
In front of the demon Dogothos.
"Arrogant!"
Although he said that, the movements of Dogothos's hands were not slow. He actually began to chant the spell slowly, and soon he turned into a huge skeleton lich dragon.
"Stupid human being, you have been fooled by Sammaster!"
"See the greatness of Dogothos!"
Obviously, he is not stupid!
Although he may not know much about Annie's strength, he does know that the person who can be hired by Sammaster as an assistant is definitely not an ordinary mage. Therefore, he is now ready to fight for his life and directly prepare to use his own dragon wizard.
The real strength of the demon.
"What did you fall for?"
(゜-゜)
"They are here to deal with you!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
Anne was not frightened by the changes in Dogothos.
On the contrary, while speaking, she had time to glance at Sammaster, who was not far away and was surrounded by a large group of at least hundreds of priests.
At this time, those people had already started fighting over disagreements, and it was very exciting. With one move, Sammaster bombarded the formation of the priests with the magic that was originally intended to destroy Dogothos.
Hundreds of people were wiped out in an instant, and the priests of the God of Dawn were either blown to pieces or broken into countless pieces by the unknown magic, and the battle suddenly became intense.
Therefore, Annie feels that she must end the battle on her side quickly, otherwise, she will not be able to see the wonderful showdown over there?
"!?"
"go to hell!"
Seeing that Anne dared to be distracted at such a time, the Gothos roared in anger, opened its mouth and bit into Anne fiercely!
"..."
(ω)
"flame……"
(ψ｀▽′)o
Annie did not dodge, but slowly stretched out her hand.
Then……
Then there is no more!
In an instant, in the eyes of Sammaster and the priests of the God of Dawn in the distance, who were extremely surprised and shocked, she actually turned the dracolich Dogothos into a
A giant flaming dragon?
"!!"
"No!!!"
Then, amid the huge miserable howl, the fierce struggle and collision of the Dragon Lich in Dogothos, and the violent shaking and shaking of the ruined suspended island, he quickly fell down and fell into the magma lake below, and was visible to the naked eye.
The visible speed was burned to ashes by Annie's flame and then mixed into the magma lake. Only a dark flame with the outline of a giant dragon was still burning stubbornly on the surface of the magma, as if to prove to the people present.
Did Gothos ever exist?
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
So, seeing that horrifying scene, seeing that little girl actually annihilating the chaotic evil male ancient black dragon lich Dogothos with one blow, such horrifying means, whether it was Sammaster or those Dawn
The priests of the god were stunned and had to stop fighting subconsciously.
"that……"
()
"Let me tell you something!"
(^▽^)
"You can keep fighting!"
(゜▽＾*)
"I'm really not familiar with him. I just asked him to lead the way to eliminate this lich entrenched in his territory. I promise he won't interfere in your battle with him!"
☆(o*ω)
Seeing that those guys stopped fighting, Anne was of course not happy, so she quickly urged her and pointed at the Sammaster and assured her crisply.
After all, she has only one purpose here, and that is: to help the town in her territory with a confusing name and the dwarf with an equally confusing name that is difficult to remember, eliminate the threat entrenched deep in the mine, that's all!
Now, since the threat has been eliminated, it is of course time for Queen Anne to continue eating and watching the fun.
She doesn't care who is right or wrong, or who is righteous or evil. She said she won't interfere. Is she really just watching the fun?
