Arcane Journey

Chapter 367 Ancient Elven Town
On the second day after checking the construction progress of the floating city, Brian's wizard tower welcomed a guest who surprised and surprised him.

The little prince Brenners of Shade City is here.

Bryan thought that the reason why Brenas came here was probably to tell him that he had found the trace of the 'Earth Prophet' Acindor.

But when he saw the disheveled appearance of the little prince, he suddenly realized that it might not be as simple as he imagined.

After all, in his impression, Breners often gave him the feeling that he was more like an elegant gentleman and scholar.

Now, the other party looked like a fugitive who ran out of the collapsed ruins, and came here without any regard for his own image.

Obviously, something unexpected happened to the archivist's exploration of the ruins.

"I found the ruins of the city of Harendas." Brenas said without any nonsense, and directly said the news he had obtained, "and discovered the real reason for the demise of this city."

When Brian heard this, he showed an interested expression.

Although the Shadow Prince didn't mention anything about the 'Earth Prophet' Asindor, he also understood that since the other party first mentioned the city of Harundas, he naturally had his real intentions.

He still knows a little about the history of the city of Harendas.

After the destruction of the glorious Netheril, three cities were built by the survivors of Netheril in the Ennook Desert.

Although the city of Harendas is considered to be the least influential of the three cities, neither having inherited Netheril's powerful magical power like Ellens nor having the rich wealth and power of Noria, it is The oldest of the three cities.

As for the reason for its demise, according to the records of the Crown Palace of the Kingdom of Cormyr, it was caused by the continuous growth of the Ennook Desert. In the end, the residents of Harendas City had to abandon the city and migrate to a fertile area to continue their life .

"What's the reason?" Bryan looked at the embarrassed Breners thoughtfully, feeling the residual magical energy around him, and asked.

"Felin Mokui." Brenners said solemnly.

"As you said, there was indeed a great mage in the city of Harendas who built a mage tower here. I found the remains of the mage tower through the secret door."

He paused, and said with lingering fear, "Who would have thought that this ruin would have been visited by an Elder Mokui long ago."

"So you have already fought against this Elder Mokui." Brian frowned when he heard the news, and said again, "Then do you feel that this Elder Mokui came from the Sharon spirit?" The ones who escaped from the forbidden wall are the ones who slipped through the net."

If he escaped from the Forbidden Wall of Sharon, it means that someone has already set his mind on Felin Mokui, which will make Brian directly from the active situation to become extremely passive.

After all, he was ready to completely wipe out Felin Mokui, as long as he found the 'Earth Prophet' Asindor, he would begin to implement his long-planned plan.

"It escaped from the Forbidden Wall of Sharon." Brenner's affirmation without thinking made Brian's brows frowned even deeper, and he continued:
"If it wasn't for escaping from the forbidden wall set up by the Sharon spirit, which resulted in the power not being fully recovered, I wouldn't be able to kill it."

"So, someone has already started to think about the Forbidden Wall of Sharon."

Brian thought for a moment, then asked again, "Then you told me about the Felin Mokui, is it related to your search for the Earth Prophet?"

He didn't ask who was planning to hit the Forbidden Wall of Sharon, because it was easy to guess.

Brian can think with his toes that the manipulator behind the scenes is definitely the Lost Lady.

Although the ghost princes loyal to the Lost Lady and their forces have long been destroyed, as the spokesperson of Shar in the material world, "Black Veil" Illyrel has been hiding in the dark, weaving some unknown conspiracy .

Apparently, this terrifying priestess had already targeted Felin Mokui one step ahead of herself.

This unexpected news really caught him off guard. He didn't expect Shar's followers to be so crazy.

If the Forbidden Wall of Sharon is destroyed and all the sealed Felin Mokui and Mokui Elders are released, it will be a terrible disaster for both the Ennook Desert and the surrounding areas.

"Elder Mokui seems to be looking for the 'Earth Prophet' Acindor as well." Brenners took out a teardrop-shaped gem and handed it to Brian, "It's obviously bad luck, its strength has not yet recovered , I met me, and I was the first to get it."

"This is a tear of the king. Although I didn't directly say where the Prophet of the Earth and his ancient city of Olem are, I learned from the remains of the mage tower and the magic of prophecy..." Brenners passed by After careful consideration, he said slowly, "We may be able to trace the traces of the Prophet of the Earth based on the residual image in the King's Tears."

Brian nodded slightly, carefully observing the image hidden in the King's Tears.

He saw images gleaming in gems, parchment scrolls written in strange hieroglyphs, and books bound in jeweled covers.

"These books are the collection of Vlad Visionary, the crown-wearer of Myth Draenor, the kingdom of the elves." Brenners explained to him:
"When the Ennook Desert was still rich in forests and plains, the territory ruled by this elven crown-wearer included Cormanthor, the Valley, Sambia and Cormyr, a rich and lush land composed of many countries and lands. forest."

"Unfortunately, centuries before the Cormyrs crossed the Sunset Mountains and entered this region, his kingdom was a dusty ruin."

Bryan listened to Breners explain the history of Cormanthor, while carefully observing the flickering images in the King's Tears.

In a trance, he seemed to see a series of shining cities, being built along the rivers of the Cormanthor Forest, like gems on a necklace.

Immediately afterwards, he was surprised to find that in this splendid city, there stood a golden beech tree.

Seeing the golden beech wood, Brian couldn't sit still, and even showed a shocked expression.

It turned out to be another complete set of color-resistant scrolls.

According to some information he has, there are two sets of golden scrolls found in the ruins of Arivanda in the former Netheril, and each set contains fifty scrolls.

Among them is a complete set of golden scrolls, which seem to have been stolen by the elves of Cormanthor, and are stored in the Windsong Tower in Myth Drannor in the form of golden beech wood.

All these materials were collected by Brian from various rumors in the game world. As for its authenticity, he has no idea.

Now, seeing the existence of another set of Nether scrolls inside the King's Tears, Brian faintly realized that these legends are very likely to be true.

This also means that there might really be a complete set of Nether scrolls in Myth Drano's Tower of Windsong.

He suppressed his ups and downs, put away the King's Tears, and said calmly, "There is no doubt that the city in the King's Tears should be Myth Draenor, the abandoned capital of the elves, and the golden beech-shaped object is very It may be another complete set of Naichrome scrolls in the legend."

"That's right." Brenners nodded slightly, and expressed his guess, "So, I think, if we want to find the traces of the 'Earth Prophet', we can only start from Myth Drano."

Myce Drorno.

Bryan agreed with the Prince of Shadows with silence.

As far as he knows, although the Elven Expeditionary Army has recovered the city, in order to completely eliminate the threat of the Zhentarim Society, they have not had time to rebuild it, and only sent guards to station here.

With his current status, it is easy to explore Myth Drannor.

The only problem is how to get the key to enter the Tower of Windsong, because without the key, there is no way to avoid the echo of the Tower of Windsong, if you are not careful, you will be trapped in the maze forever.

"It seems that we can only find a way to contact Ms. Sirinxi, and obtain permission to enter Myth Draenor and a key from her." Brian thought to himself.

"I have a way to enter Myth Draenor." After thinking about the problem, he looked at Brenas, "If you have time, you can go to this ruin with me to find the traces of the Prophet of the Earth."

As an archivist, there is no one better suited to explore ancient ruins than Breners.

"I'm very sorry, I can't go yet." Breners shook his head, showing a regretful expression:
"I plan to go to the Forbidden Wall of Sharon to confirm the truth about Felin Mokui's escape. After all, this is related to the future of Ennook Desert. We must not be careless because of this. We must investigate the truth of the whole incident."

"Okay." Brian thought for a moment, thinking what he said made sense, "Then you wait in the Ennook Desert for me to bring you news about the 'Earth Prophet' Acindor."

After sending away the ghost prince Brenners, Bryan prepared some items and equipment without wasting time, and then opened the teleportation circle and set off for the Comanthor forest.

The first stop he chose was an ancient elf town: the Entangled Tree, an elf town surrounded by huge trees.

This is an open town, and the elves who still live here build their homes on these big trees, forming tree houses.

On the ground, there are mainly humans, halflings and half elves.

In the tree of entanglement, there are almost no ordinary civilians. When Brian appeared here quietly and walked in this ancient town full of natural atmosphere, he could clearly feel the adventurers and mercenaries coming and going. He was looking at himself with malicious eyes.

He ignored these people, and he didn't intend to cause trouble here.

After all, his purpose of coming to this ancient elf town was mainly to find the elf expeditionary army, and then to inquire about the whereabouts of Sirinxi, that's all.

Only then can he enter Myth Drannor's Tower of Windsong.

Without wasting time, he found an elf-style hotel nearby and walked in.

After entering the hotel, Brian asked the elf waiter who came over directly about the news of the elf expedition.

"Elf Expeditionary Army?" Faced with Brian's direct attack, the elf waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, and then showed a hesitant and vigilant expression, as if judging the meaning of his words.

At this moment, in the corner of the hotel, an elf woman who was enjoying the performance of the elf bard seemed to hear the sound of his conversation with the waiter. She turned her head slightly and cast an interested look.

"Do you want to inquire about the news of the Elven Expeditionary Army?" A soft female voice came to Brian's mind.

He looked over unexpectedly, and looked at the elf woman who was speaking, "Do you know their contact information?"

He noticed that this was a young woman wearing a plain scholar's robe.

She is very beautiful. From her appearance, she seems to be only about 20 years old, but she always exudes a gentle and elegant temperament in her gestures.

Brian always felt that he had seen this beautiful elf woman before in the game world and forums, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure out who she was.

"Of course." The elf woman looked at Brian with her wise eyes that have experienced many things in the world, and smiled: "I am a scholar from Yongju Island, so I know the whereabouts of the elf expeditionary army."

"Then I really found the right person, ma'am." Brian also answered the elf's words through telepathy, "Yongju Island, so you are a scholar who came all the way from Yongju Island?"

Hearing that the other party was from Yongju Island, he had roughly guessed the true identity of this elf woman who exuded a sense of grace.

But he didn't break it.

Since the other party didn't want to disclose his identity, he didn't bother to expose it.

Yongju Island was originally an island where gold elves lived, but now it has become a shelter for elves from Faerun mainland.

It is hidden deep in the traceless sea, thousands of kilometers away from the mainland. This island is guarded by the high magic of the elves, sea elves, mages who never slack off, and a powerful elf fleet. There are outsiders who can approach this place.

The Elven Expeditionary Army came from the Island of Eternal Gathering. Their purpose of landing on the Faerun Continent was mainly to have a real foothold in the Faerun Continent and to reproduce the splendor of the elves.

"That's right." The elf woman smiled softly, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Now that you've come, my mission is over."

As soon as the words fell, the female elf gracefully raised her slender hand, and a ring with a simple shape and engraved with elf runes fell into Brian's hand through an arc.

"This is the key to enter the Tower of Windsong."

After speaking, the other party was wrapped in the light of a teleportation circle and disappeared in place.

Brian stared at the ring in his hand, sat in a daze for a moment, and then came back to his senses. By the time he wanted to thank him, the elf had already disappeared.

For this, he could only sigh inwardly, as expected of the Queen of Yongju Island's style of doing things.
