Looking at the attributes of the badge, Brian was quite satisfied.

After all, as an item of the Necromancy School, it is also made by a lich. Usually, due to the negative energy aura attached to the equipment, it will cause some inexplicable curses or sequelae to the wearer.

Generally speaking, in the School of Necromancy, the more powerful the equipment, the greater the sequelae and defects. However, this piece of equipment not only has no restrictions, but also has no sequelae.

This indirectly makes the value of this badge impossible to estimate.

Brian ignored the badge's attributes for the time being, but thought about what Larlock's real intention was to give him this item.

Undoubtedly, judging from the attributes of the badge, it is obviously a status symbol in the 'Entangled Symbol' organization.

Judging by the grade of this equipment, Brian guessed that if he wore this badge and appeared in the base camp of the 'Entangling Symbol', his status would probably only be inferior to that of the symbol's master, Lalock.

Therefore, he was very curious, what was the real purpose of Laroque throwing this badge that could symbolize power and status to himself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help recalling the details about the 'Entanglement Symbol'.

The Entanglement Runes are a clandestine group composed entirely of undead spellcasters, manipulating the various webs of influence that have entangled Calishan for the sole purpose of personal gain.

These existences are all dominated by liches, allowing them to have almost infinite time and can control huge power. For them, controlling the lives of insignificant mortals and bringing eternal pleasure is far greater than their own. Benefit.

Moreover, this group of powerful liches likes to hide behind layers of secrets and servants. Few people know of their existence, and only a handful of servants know how to contact their masters.

This makes the Glyphs themselves extremely secretive, with less than a third of even their highest-ranking servants knowing they are working for the Glyphs.

This secrecy makes it almost impossible for good people to get rid of their leaders, and it is said that Entanglement Rune will even hire good adventurers to carry out some of their plans without revealing the source of the hiring rewards.

They also control many of the important families of the Calishan Kingdom, like puppets, as a game of controlling others.

For more than a thousand years after the establishment of the organization, the powerful liches who entangled the symbols could completely gain control of the entire Calishan, but still retained about half of the important families to maintain freedom.

The purpose of doing this is not that the strength does not allow it, it is just to prolong the game time, and at the same time make their game not so boring.

This group of liches who like to get up and do things, only when the master of the runes, Lalok, decides to meet, will choose a backup stronghold and get there through teleportation spells or portals.

Although the current Lord of Runes is Larlock, the founder of the evil lich organization Entangling Runes is not Larlock himself.

Larlock's previous centuries as Grand Arcanist during Netheril's time were nothing special or recorded, for he had long since learned the advantages of stealth and keeping a low profile.

It wasn't until the Year of the Shattered Magic Net that Karthus cast the Ascension spell, causing the empire to be destroyed, and Laroque escaped from his floating city and successfully transformed into a lich, that his actions gradually became known.

It is said that Larlock's nemesis, another great arcanist 'Eternal' Logiras who successfully transformed into a lich, had obtained his phylactery and threatened him to join the symbol of entanglement as a founding member.

After centuries of menacing himself with the phylactery, Logiras's status as a lich was revealed in the Tethir region, and his leadership collapsed.

This also led to a steady stream of conspiracies and struggles among most of the Liches within the Talismans in Amn and Tessier, and there were even three Liches from the Talismans of Calisthen claiming that Logeras had leaked The secrecy of the organization, and began to challenge his authority, which indirectly or directly caused the destruction of Laugilas and his two Lich apprentices.

To the surprise of everyone except Laroque, when a group of adventurers finally destroyed the body of Laugilas, Laroque, who was planning revenge, accurately found the phylactery of Rogeras and destroyed it.

Logiras' leaked failed plan resulted in the death of a large number of members of the Talismania, including several Masters of Talismans.

But his death also temporarily suspended the crisis encountered by the organization, and kept the organization itself that entangled the symbols from being exposed.

As a senior member of the entangled rune and the usurper who killed the former leader, Larlock not only successfully took over the council of the master of rune, but also reorganized the rune society to prepare for more secret plots and tricks.

Looking at the symbol in his hand representing the membership of the entanglement symbol, even if it is a very good piece of legendary equipment, Brian obviously feels hot.

Obviously, he didn't think that Laroque would give him such a piece of equipment so kindly as an expression of apology, or thank him for allowing him to comprehend the essence of magic through the Austrian fire.

As the arch arcanist who survived the time of Netheril, there is no doubt that Laroch not only possesses incredible strength, but also is a super-intelligent magical genius.

For more than 2000 years, he has made perfect plans for almost all possible situations. Even if he is not prepared, he can make a nearly perfect response in an instant. He is also a master of new spells, magic items and magic techniques. And geniuses and cunning inventors of strategies.

Even such a powerful artifact as the Death Moon Magic Orb was made by him, which shows it.

It is said that Larlock's main residence is located deep underground somewhere in the Ennook Desert, and it is also a library of spellbooks with extremely rich collections, which can only be compared with the Elminster Collection in Shadow Valley.

In the entire material world, only four living creatures have seen his secret lair, and the rest of the visitors have become scattered bones.

Larroch also arranged no less than seven false lairs or alternate dwellings for deception.

He used the enchanting and mind-controlling properties of the Death Moon Magic Orb to plant a large number of charmed or used spies in the court of the Calishan Kingdom.

For example, Pasha's eldest four sons, 32 Pasha's personal bodyguards and harem slaves, and Pasha's Grand Viza, are equivalent to the prime minister or the highest staff.

Much of Larroch's control is exercised through the wizards who serve in the palace.

These wizards were either bewitched by Larlock, commanded by him through false identities and aliases, or manipulated by anonymous threats.

For example, one of Larlock's common methods is to give someone a centuries-old spell book, and then ask the wizard who receives the gift to pass the information to the Talisman Society through the new spells learned in the book.

Wizards who don't want to follow suit may find that the spell book automatically transmits the surrounding sounds and images back to the Talisman Club, or that the new spells they have learned have additional functions that they cannot understand. The function of automatically passing the surrounding information to Larlock when the time comes.

Among the noble families of Calixanne, at least four powerful families are controlled by Laroch or his agents.

Therefore, Brian couldn't figure out Larlock's real purpose at all, and the intention of giving him this senior member badge symbolizing the entanglement symbol. What exactly is it?
"Through this battle in the Devil's Web Realm, I have already seen it." Sirinxi's words interrupted Brian's contemplation. She looked at the entanglement symbol in his hand and said, "Lalock's The ultimate goal is different from that of other surviving Netherese, he should be going to become a god."

Bryan nodded slightly. He also had such an idea, but he was not sure. Now that he said it from Si Linxi, this guess may have become true.

"Then what is the purpose of him giving me the Entanglement Talisman?" He thought for a moment, and asked Sirinxi curiously.

After hearing his question, the elf guardian of Myth Draenor gave him a serious look, then smiled slightly, and said an answer that seemed to have not been considered at all.

"Maybe he was worried that his plan to enshrine the gods would fail and lead to an accidental death, so he wanted to explain his funeral in advance on a whim."

"I hope so." Brian put away the badge and replied absent-mindedly.

Si Linxi's words seemed like a joke, but when he seriously recalled the conversation with Laroque, he suddenly realized that what the other party said might really be true.

It's just that this funeral is probably not something ordinary people can do.

After all, the Entanglement Rune is an organization composed of a group of powerful legendary liches.

Although Brian has a badge and is considered one of the senior members at this moment, he is not yet confident that he will be the opponent of this group of stable liches.

Perhaps in the future, when his strength becomes stronger, he can use this badge to find out the liches of this organization one by one, which would be a good choice.

"The floating city of Sacross has crashed, and the ghost princes who supported the Lost Lady have also died one after another." Si Linxi looked at Brian in a deep voice, and said:

"This means that the Kingdom of Cormyr will usher in a fairly long period of peace in the next period of time. What I promised you has been done. Should I also fulfill your promise?"

"Of course." Brian glanced at Myrcella beside him, and said to the elf sitting on his table with dangling calves, "Don't worry, Ms. Silinxi, I will do my best for the next period of time." Support the Elven Expeditionary Army's war to recover Myth Drannor."

As the other party said, with the death of Lamorak, the Kingdom of Cormyr and even the valley region have ushered in a period of peace, but Cormanthor is not peaceful.

The Elven Expeditionary Army wants to recover Myth Dranno, and the first thing they face is the Damofeier half-purgatory elf family.

6000 years ago, this golden elf family was once a branch of the Cormanthor nobles. Because they firmly believed that mating with the devil could strengthen their bloodlines, they did not hesitate to trade with the devil in Baator Hell to gain power.

Although the Damofeier family composed of demon-born elves was wiped out in the era of the Comanthor Elf Empire, many people still escaped.

Until the occurrence of the "Arcanian Catastrophe", the remaining demon elves finally found the opportunity to summon the exiled ancient devil lord on the ruins of Myth Draenor, and began to launch a war against the elves, declaring the recovery of this ancient family .

At this moment, Comanthor's situation is still very tense. The Yuanshan City, the Zhentalin Society, and the Dark Elf family in the Moon Sea area have long been united with the Dharmafell family in advance to resist the elf expedition from Yongju Island.

In this case, it is obviously impossible to fight against this group of expeditionary forces alone.

This is also the reason why Si Linxi tried her best to help Gudi and Mokou Town, the purpose is to gain the support of Gudi and Cormyr.

After sending Silinxi away, Brian said to Myrcella, "I will leave it to you to arrange the next support operation against Myth Draenor."

After returning to the territory, he has already noticed that after he has constructed the general framework of the territory, and then added various details under Myrcella's management, he has already become well-organized, and he can concentrate on it with confidence. own business.

"Aren't you going to support Myth Drano's operation?" Myrcella asked curiously after hearing Brian's order.

"No need." Brian shook his head slightly and said to her:
"With my current strength, I won't be of much use to Bozor and Manson, the two Bane voters. Sirinxi can deal with it alone, so we only need to send an army to help the elves clear Myth Dronone's monsters and dark elves will do."
