Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 431 Shadow Curse Land
In most games, there is often only one fixed path to complete a task, just like a set track train, players can only move in a set direction.

The game that Leon has been addicted to is completely different. It is more like a real fantasy world. Each mission has many solutions. You can use violence, conspiracy and trickery, or even use your eloquence to persuade the enemy to commit suicide, which will also affect the subsequent development of the plot.

There are several roads leading to the Underdark in the game, but there is only one road that most players often take, which is the one leading to the goblin camp.

Following the protagonists to the goblin camp - the goblin camp turned out to be the temple of Selune, the Moon Maiden - walked to the Shattered Sanctuary, and through the Shattered Sanctuary was the Underdark. Leon suddenly remembered the rare longsword named Life and Death, which was an elegant drow sword that could be used until the later stages of the game.

Leon thought about it and decided not to surpass the protagonists. He took away the separation of life and death in advance, ate the meat and left the soup. One should not be too lonely, and should always leave something for the protagonists.

The separation of life and death did not escape the eyes of the protagonists.

Next, the ground began to shake violently, accompanied by a deafening roar. A huge lizard shark broke out of the ground and fought with the wandering minotaurs, finally causing the protagonists to have a fight with each other.

After the battle, Xie Nian squatted beside the corpse of the lizard shark beast, took out a sharp dagger from his pocket, and skillfully cut open the belly of the lizard shark beast. He took out a bloodstained piece of clothing from the stomach. It was unknown which adventurer's undigested clothes it had eaten, but it was a blood-sucking suit belonging to a barbarian, and he gave it to Kalak.

Keep going.

The rust monster is covered in a thick, wavy carapace, with a bony protrusion at the end of its long tail, and an insect-like head with two feathery tentacles that can corrode metal and devour its rusty body, thus destroying adventurers' armor, shields, and weapons.

The tentacle monster looks like a balloon-shaped floating brain with a wide and sharp beak. It prefers to ambush single or isolated creatures, quietly floating on the top of a passage or cave waiting for the right prey to appear. Once it finds prey, it quickly descends and wraps the prey with its tentacles.

The Thor is an elemental creature from the Earth Elemental Plane. It often clashes with miners and treasure hunters in search of food. It has a heavy body and a powerful mouth on its head. It has three long arms with sharp claws and three large stone-lidded eyes that can look in all directions at the same time.

……

……

The types of monsters in the Underdark in the game are relatively limited, which does not prevent the real underground world from being filled with endless monsters. However, none of them could stop the protagonists, mainly because the protagonists would not be so stupid as to rush forward after discovering the nest of a powerful monster.

There was nothing in the entire Underdark worthy of Leon's attention. He followed behind boredly and at one point took the initiative to guide the protagonist group to find the hill giant's power staff and go deep into the adamantium furnace. When the protagonist defeated the eternal guardian of the furnace, the Vengeance Guard, he remembered that he could actually take the Vengeance Guard back to Tassera for research.

Passing through the Underdark, ahead is a land shrouded in the Shadow Curse.

The restriction that the Shadow Curse places on Leon is that he can no longer transform into weak animals at will, because weak animals may be swallowed by the Shadow Curse at any time.

So, this is the power of the Seventy-Two Transformations. After all, it is the great magical power passed down to Sun Wukong by Patriarch Bodhi. The shape-changing effects of the Nine-Ring Spell cannot transform constructs or undead creatures into Seventy-Two Transformations. Leon can transform into a Shadow Cursed Raven, and a Shadow Cursed Raven is an undead creature and is not affected by the Shadow Curse at all.

Like the Underdark, the entire Shadow Curse Land has nothing that Leon cares about. Because of the Shadow Curse, it is full of desolation and desolation. In addition, after transforming into an undead creature, he can't feel any warmth, only emptiness and discomfort. For this reason, Leon followed the protagonist group for a while and decided to stay in the Light of the End Inn. The Light of the End Inn is the base of the Harpist Alliance, which is a force dedicated to fighting against evil. It is like an isolated island in the dark in the Shadow Curse Land.

In the lobby of the Hotel of the Last Light, the warm candlelight intertwined with the firelight of the fireplace. Here, Leon saw the Tiefling refugees who had died. Their tired faces were full of confusion about the future. In the corner, Raphael was elegantly sipping red wine...

"Nice to meet you again." Leon took the initiative to greet.

Raphael turned slowly, his eyes flashing dangerously in the candlelight, and said, "How dare you, a little mouse, appear in front of a cat like me? I will eat you up."

“What?” Leon raised his eyebrows and looked around deliberately. “There are harpists everywhere here. Do you dare to take action here?”

Raphael's face was gloomy for a moment, but he quickly regained his elegant and calm appearance and said, "I hope you can still laugh so happily next time we meet... The laughing rat will eventually cry when the cat's claws fall."

Raphael ignored Leon and turned to walk to the corner, where there was a little tiefling girl - Moore.

Moore is an ungrateful, stupid, and bad kid, a born bad boy who cannot be forgiven by saying "she is just a child". For this reason, Leon just watched coldly and stood by to watch the fun. He would not remind Moore to be careful of Raphael, but he would not bully the weak either.

"I want a room... and food."

Lyon, who had eaten and drunk his fill, stretched out his body on the big oak bed of the End Light Hotel and sighed with contentment. He thought that the human form was the most comfortable and slept for half a day until he heard a noise downstairs - the protagonists had finally arrived.

Xie Nian's loyal butler Celeritas appeared and claimed that he would lead Xie Nian onto the "correct" path. He promised Xie Nian that as long as he killed Isobel, the priest of the Inn of the Last Light, he would immediately offer him a noble reward. However, Xie Nian did not do so, which made Leon certain that Xie Nian was on the path of kindness.

After repelling the attack on the Tower of the Beginning, the protagonist group, who had rested for a day, took action again. This time, Leon was too lazy to continue following them, and waited until the protagonist group rescued Song of the Night, also known as Irene.

Irene is an Asmoa, the opposite of Tiefling, a descendant of humans and celestial beings. In the game plot, she is the daughter of Selune, the Moonmaiden, a daughter of a god, who possesses an immortal body. She has been imprisoned in the Shadowfell, providing immortal power to General Catheric, one of the three supreme gods.

It's not that Leon hadn't thought about snatching Irene away, but after thinking about it, he decided not to provoke Selune, the Moon Maiden behind the other party. Firstly, that immortal body couldn't be real immortality, and secondly, there were other channels to obtain the method of transferring damage.

When the protagonists and the Harper Alliance attacked the Tower of the Moon, Leon did not stand by and watch, but went straight to Baldur's Gate.

After all, he came to the continent of Faerun not to watch the protagonist group of adventurers, but to fish in troubled waters and seize opportunities in the chaos. In this world, there is no such thing as "originally belongs to someone", only first come first served.

What good stuff is there in Baldur's Gate?
