Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 132 Khelben Blackstaff

Walking in front of the Black Rod Tower, Nemesis felt quite insecure.

Because he had entered Waterdeep, he no longer had the option of transforming back into dragon form.

There is an inexplicably powerful force in Waterdeep City. Nemesis can feel the existence of a true dragon. Once he changes back to his original form, he will probably be immediately attacked by some extremely powerful spell.

He also asked Gunde about this, and the other party had the same feeling.

"That's the maze set up by Sir Jageron back then - [Jageron's Anti-Dragon Barrier], don't you know about it?" Shana asked with a strange look on her face.

"The dragon-proof barrier will immediately suppress all real dragons in dragon form within the barrier, causing them to feel nauseous, vomit, and faint. I thought you knew this, so you changed into human form and followed me."

Upon learning this, Gund became extremely angry. Unlike Nemesis, most of his power came from his dragon form's breath and body. When he remained in human form, his power was extremely weak, only equivalent to that of a seventh-level warlock.
Therefore, under such conditions, entering the mansion of a legendary wizard made both dragons feel nervous.

"Don't worry," Shana smiled. "Although Mr. Kelben looks serious in the rumors, he is actually a very kind person. Unless you point your finger at him and blaspheme the Goddess of Magic, he won't get angry."

Shrugging, Nemesis stepped into the gate of the Black Rod Tower.

Behind the gate guarded by six knights is an extremely spacious hall, which looks to be at least 1500 square meters.

The height of the Black Rod Tower is almost the highest in the entire Waterdeep City. Based on the estimation of the floor height, Nemesis estimated that this tower has at least 12 floors!
In the hall of the Black Rod Tower, there were many apprentices in wizard robes running around busily. Most of them were children of nobles in Waterdeep. After being tested and found to have good magical talent, their families would spend a lot of money to send them to the Black Rod Tower for study.

Of course, these apprentices did not learn directly from Khelben Blackstaff.

In addition to Khelben himself, there are several other mentors in the Black Rod Tower, all of whom are his children and former disciples.

The one who received them now was a black female wizard named Jafarah Safar.

"Welcome, distinguished guests from the Masked Mage Society. Mr. Blackstaff has been waiting for you on the top floor for a long time."

Jafar al-Saifar smiled and summoned a transparent humanoid energy body that glowed green.

"Black Staff Tower Spirit, please take them to the teleportation array."

After receiving the command, the human energy body walked towards a small compartment on the left side of the hall. The three of them walked in and reached the top floor of the Black Rod Tower through the portal in the compartment.

A grand and spacious reception room.

Compared to most wizard towers that would choose the top of the tower as an arcane garden, Khelben obviously luxuriously decorated this place into a private reception room.

Next to the fireplace in the middle of the hall, on the soft leather sofa, a man was sitting with his back to them, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.

"You are here, Ms. Shana from the Masked Mage Society, and Mr. Nemesis."

The man turned his head. He was wearing a black suit with a silver button and a cloak lined with gray fur. He was tall and muscular, with a full beard; there were silver streaks in his black hair.

"Mr. Kelben." Shanai said with a smile.

Nemesis was a little surprised that this great wizard actually knew his name? Volume Dragon was a little smug. Maybe his title of White Mystery would finally be known throughout the continent?

Perhaps seeing through his thoughts, Khelben smiled and said, "The Archbishop of the Church of Knowledge, Lost, has already contacted me. She asked me to look after you in the New World. You made her very worried." Nemesis understood that it was because of the Church of Knowledge. However, he asked a legendary wizard to look after him.
It seems that the church with great divine power has enough face.

Khelbourne snapped his fingers, and soon the door was pushed open.

An old man with gray hair and beard, wearing a wizard's robe, walked in. Although the old man was quite old, he walked with a vigorous look and his green eyes were bright and sharp.

"This must be the little girl who took me to Amn." The old man stroked his beard and smiled gently.

"Uh," Shanai said in confusion, "The news I received was to take your son, Sefar Orosan, to Amn. Mr. Khelben, if he is not your direct relative, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the general to get through."

The old man laughed loudly, and Khelbourne beside him shook his head helplessly and said, "That's him."

Even Gunde's eyes twitched. What kind of family is this? The middle-aged man who looks strong and powerful is the father, and the old man is the son?
"Haha, kid, don't be surprised. You are not the first one who is so curious." The old man's eyes were filled with cunningness of a successful prank, like a naughty boy.

"My father is the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic. His life has long been fixed. He is immortal. Unlike me, an old man with a little elven blood, I have lived for nearly 300 years. It's good enough for me to maintain this state."

The old man shook his head and sighed in a conscientious tone, causing Kelben beside him to burst out laughing.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and with a trace of worry in his eyes, he asked Sefar, "How is she?"

Upon hearing this, Sefar also put away his smile, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Father, mother is still the same. I am afraid I can't take care of her when we go to the New World this time."

Khelben sighed and said, "Don't worry, I have already planned to step down from the position of the Masked Lord. When Waterdeep is of a suitable size, I will hand it over to Daggart Neverember. I will take good care of her."

Sefar nodded worriedly, which surprised Nemesis and others.

Kelben's wife was also well-known on the mainland and was very famous.

Because his wife is also the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, a legendary wizard - Leila Silverhand.

But Lyra Silverhand disappeared two hundred years ago and was said to have died in another dimension. According to Khelben's current statement, she seems to be alive? She just fell into a bad state.

Black Staff then asked Nemesis and others to go out first and explain some things to Sefar.

Just a few minutes later, Sefar walked out of the door.

"Let's go. Our mission in the New World is quite heavy." Saifar said with a smile.

Then, as if he remembered something, he said to Nemesis, "Oh, by the way, my father just told me that if you encounter any difficulties in the New World, you can come to me."

After thinking for a while, he added, "You'd better not get too close to the people in the Am Empire. I know that general quite well. He hates real dragons. Besides, the Am Empire is also the country with the largest number of dragon slayers in the entire continent."

Nemesis frowned. This was something he didn't expect.

"But you don't have to be afraid of them," Sefar stroked his beard and smiled amiably, "After all, I am also a Nine-Ring Mage, and I am also familiar with Boris, the second-in-command of the Golden Legion, the Flowing Gate. As long as you don't have too much impact on the colonial army, they won't dare to do anything to you."
