Sauron waited beside him for a long time.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that the wizard had really left completely that he walked towards the corpses of the gray dwarves. They should have something valuable on them. Although that high-level mage looked down on him, he was a little thief and had a younger sister to support him. Naturally, the more money the better. In the future, there will be many places for a little girl to spend her money, so no matter what, she must prepare some savings. Besides, if you really want to spend money freely, you need more than 3,000 pieces of Kindler for a set of the lowest level of extraordinary equipment.
There were bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and the traces seemed to be a sudden battle.
"Inner bar?"
Sauron looked at the nearby footprints, frowned and said to himself, "It seems that they were traveling together at first, but I don't know why they suddenly started fighting."
The footprints left on the periphery are very neat, as if a group of people are guarding something and moving forward.
The footprints at the back began to change. When a person is running and sprinting with all his strength, it is naturally different from the footprints left by walking. Sauron tried to restore the original picture in his mind, but he could only vaguely judge that the gray dwarf suddenly launched an attack. Because there are traces of Tier 2 fighters charging on the ground, they stimulate their potential in a short period of time, bursting into sprints at an astonishing speed, and the speed of ordinary fighters can also reach the level of Olympic champions.
"This is?"
Sauron reached out and picked up a piece of debris, then turned over the three corpses, and found a gray dwarf whose chest was pierced and the wound left traces of corrosion.
"Acid arrow?"
Sauron carefully took off the ring on the finger of the corpse, with a hint of surprise on his face, he murmured: "So they also brought Faye, but they were instantly killed right away!"
There is a wizard in the duergar team.
However, the strength is only second-level wizards, about five-level wizards. It may be that the incident happened suddenly at the beginning, and before they had time to react, they were instantly killed by high-level wizards with strong acid arrows. Sauron picked up the ring and stroked it. A faint spell radiance appeared on it, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious, because it was a low-level wizard's ring, which could additionally store spells of level 1-2.
"At least 1,200 Kindlers!"
Sauron put away the ring, continued to rummage through the corpse of the gray dwarf wizard, and said to himself: "He didn't even touch the corpses of his colleagues, or he was very rich and didn't care, or he couldn't do anything important. delay."
"What else happened during this time?"
"Damn it!"
"Why didn't you pay more attention to the changes in the situation at that time?"
Sauron quickly found a dimensional bag, which was also a low-level dimensional bag. Although the second-level wizards were not cheap, they had not yet entered the ranks of local tyrants. The things inside were very miscellaneous, and there didn't seem to be many valuable ones, but there was one thing that Sauron wanted very much.
That is - the spell book!
The duergar wizard's spellbook is a thick black book with mysterious runes engraved on the outside. It will not be damaged by natural causes and can be kept for a long time. Sauron turned to a page, which was full of dense symbols, many of which he knew at all, because he didn't have the basic expertise of 'arcane character recognition', so he could only judge the spells transcribed on it based on his experience.
The first spell is 'Giant Growth'.
It can double the size of the creature, increase its strength by 2 points, but reduce its agility by 2 points.
With the metamagic feat, this spell can also act locally, making something double in size. Of course, this effect was not researched by the aborigines in the plot, but an ability created by a certain guy with bad thinking who spent a lot of time through the combination of some super magic specialties, and it can also be used in conjunction with the 'reduction technique'.
The second spell is 'Arcane Missiles'.
This one doesn't need to be explained, it is one of the most commonly used spells by wizards, because its casting time is only one second.
Among the spells recorded later, there are one or two that Sauron does not know, but most of them are still remembered, namely Charm Human, Burning Hand, Colorful Jet, Mage Armor, Shield, Spider Web, Brute Force and Flame Arrow.
Each spell is recorded on more than a dozen sheets of paper, of course it is not the spell that needs to be written so long.
There are many patterns on it, some even three-dimensional patterns.
This is the legendary spell model. After the wizards copied the spells into the spell book, they would analyze and construct them after a period of time, not to say that they would be used simply by copying them. According to their own talent and intelligence, wizards need a long time to understand them, and then construct a spell model in their brains, and finally connect the perception to the magic net to form a spell bit to record. The memory of this spell model will be stored in the brain. After casting the spell, the power gathered through the magic net will be consumed, and then they need to remember the spell model again.
A simple metaphor.
The spell model formed by the wizard is like a bullet, which needs to be put into the spell slot generated by the magic net.
The bullet went off.
Then this spell model will disappear, and you need to re-memorize it through the spell book, unless your talent is so good that you can recall an extremely complicated integrated circuit board without relying on notes. There must be no mistakes in the process of reconstructing the spell model in this memory. Mistakes will lead to spell backlash. The more advanced the spell backlash is, the more serious it is, and it may explode your head in an instant.
In Sauron's memory, it seems that except for advanced arcanists, there are not many people who can re-memorize spells without relying on spell books.
Many arcanists have an intelligence of 25 points, which is equivalent to a biological computer.
The memory of ordinary people, even the better wizards, can hardly reach that level, so they must carry a spell book with them.
The ability to master spells is very slow. It takes half a month for a wizard with an intelligence of around 18 to learn the first level one spell. But after learning it, the memory is much easier. They only need to spend a period of time meditating after casting the spell, and then they can reconstruct a spell model. Therefore, the number of spells that wizards can learn is also limited. Generally, high-level wizards master a lot of spells, while low-level wizards master few spells.
Only wizards in the legendary realm have enough time and energy to collect more spells.
"This is?"
Sauron took out a roll of special paper, opened it, glanced at it, and quickly put it away.
It has the logo of three tentacles on it.
If he remembered correctly, it should be 'Shadow Black Tentacle', a spell with four rings, which can summon three energy tentacles to bind and entangle the enemy. The gray dwarf wizard did not copy it into the spell book, which means that he may only be a wizard below the seventh level.
Faye's worth is really high!
Sauron counted and found the things found by touching the corpse, and the value could reach more than 2,000 Kindlers.
"Aww!"
Just as Sauron happily rummaged through the other corpses and took out all the valuables, a wolf howled suddenly from a distance. He sped up all of a sudden, packed things into the dimensional bag he had just discovered, and then came to the corpses of the gray dwarves holding primitive guns.
"It turned out to be a musket with stone pellets."
He picked up an alchemy weapon and weighed it, then stuffed it into the dimension bag. This musket was as thick as an adult's arm, and it used polished stone bullets. It was a relatively low-level alchemy weapon, and some dwarves would be equipped with it. Because of the primitive craftsmanship, both the shooting range and the accuracy are relatively mediocre, and the firing speed is not fast, and sometimes the power is not as good as the crossbow and longbow, especially the longbow of some humanoid races, with an effective range of more than 300 meters. It can penetrate half a centimeter thick steel plate, just like a sniper rifle.
The level of craftsmanship of this primitive musket is about the same as that of the eighteenth century.
There are even better muskets in the hands of the gnomes in Tordre. Because of their physical disadvantages, these small creatures are very persistent in the study of alchemy.
It's a pity that this weapon can't deal with a black dragon with creature level 24, and finally the whole city is destroyed under the dragon's breath.
Things are estimated to happen a year later.
The howling of the wolves was getting closer and closer. After Sauron hurriedly cleaned the battlefield, he approached the road.
He didn't want to face a pack of wild wolves right now.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and many wilderness creatures are starting to move. The smell of blood here will attract many carnivorous creatures.
When Sauron left, he saw a pair of dark green pupils in the woods.
Those are the scouts of the Gnolls!
They can smell the smell of blood within a kilometer, and they will disperse when hunting. After finding the prey, they will summon their companions through special voices. Maybe this group of wild wolves will fight against the jackals.
There's bound to be a carnival here tonight, and it's better to stay away from them.
