Arcane Journey

Chapter 405 The Treasure House
In this dark and silent passage, both Brian and the snake girl next to him could immediately tell that the hoarse and ugly cry was the moan of dying, the vicious curse before the death of life.

The snake girl's complexion changed abruptly, and she cried out:
"This voice...is Priest Isushis! He is a legendary powerhouse second only to High Priest Abuen in strength. He actually died? How did he die?"

No matter how he died, a dead person is a dead person, so it's not worth his effort.

Brian, who was well aware of this matter, sneered, "What we need to pay attention to now is the guy who killed Isuhis. Bertha, follow me and don't leave."

"No!" The snake girl turned around suddenly, looked at Brian with a stubborn face, and said:
"You have to tell me what is your real purpose for coming here, don't talk to me about the so-called secret energy core, without the support of the magic net, this secret energy core can't exert its original power at all, how come Might be worth your trouble and risk."

As she spoke, her bright eyes suddenly became more terrifying than a cold poisonous snake, as if she had really turned into an ancient sleeping Sarukh witch:
"What is your plan for me, or...you hold the secret of the Sarukh witch, and the purpose of coming here is to explore the secrets of our creator race, otherwise why would you treat me like a little snake man?" So caring."

"It seems that you are not as stupid as you imagined." Brian did not expect that the snake-man girl in front of him was so shrewd, but this is not so important to him, because his plan is being carried out smoothly. May be interrupted by Seth's double.

He thought about it quickly, and half-truthfully said to the girl:

"That's right, not only do I have the secrets of the Sarukh witch clan, but I also know where the ancient city of Olem, the capital of the Isto Sefife Empire, is hidden. The purpose of coming here can be imagined."

After speaking, Brian carefully watched the change in the snake girl's expression.

In any case, the other party is also the Sarukh witch who has awakened his memory. He wants to know how much the snake girl knows about the ancient city of Olem.

"The lost ancient city of Olem?" Hearing Brian's explanation, the snake girl was taken aback and looked at him in disbelief, "So, you came here for this ancient city that disappeared tens of thousands of years ago. See Come on, you must know where it hides."

"Okay, now that I've confessed, don't waste time here, hurry up and follow me." Brian urged pretending to be impatient.

As he expected, the snakemen in the entire snakeman kingdom, even the Sarukh witch who once slept here, don't know the secrets about the ancient city of Olem, let alone looking for the "prophet of the earth" Asin many.

It can be seen how deeply the Ethiopian lizardmen, as the guardian race, hide this secret. If he hadn't brought Seth's holy emblem to the highest glacier, I am afraid that even if the entire lizardman race is wiped out, there will still be a lot of blood. Return in vain.

He ignored the excited Bertha and the chaotic fighting in the city, and continued walking towards the depths of the passage.

"Following you?" Looking at Brian's back, the snake girl's face instantly returned to normal, her eyes rolled a few times, and she suddenly laughed and made a strange gesture.

A light green light suddenly surrounded her graceful and slender body.

This is not magic, but a psychic power unique to the snake people.

Although Bertha's soul is a Sarukh witch, her bloodline is a snake-man who is very close to the human form, and naturally she has mastered some supernatural abilities of the snake-man race.

Shrouded in a hazy halo, the graceful and exquisite body of the snake-man girl began to shrink and deform.

In a few seconds, she turned into a red viper less than half a meter long, wriggling up Brian's body and wrapping around his left arm.

Then he poked his head out, stretched out his bright red tongue and licked Brian's face, it was cold and cold, in this tunnel where even the air seemed to be on fire, it made people feel very comfortable.

Brian blessed his eyes with shocking psychic powers, and stared coldly at the little snake transformed by the snake-man girl, before the other party shrank back obediently.

He ignored it and continued with his mission here.

In this dark passage, the bitter gust of wind brushed past him. When light and darkness intersected, Brian's eyes blessed with visual magic could clearly distinguish everything around him even in the deepest darkness. Eye.

He clearly saw that a large number of mutilated corpses of mixed-blood snake people and demon snake people were lying on the corridor, and the light representing life energy was rapidly flowing from the corpses, turning them into jet black.

Roughly counting, there are at least 30 such corpses. Unexpectedly, even the snake guards hidden in the passage suffered from this turmoil.

It can be seen that someone has already come here one step ahead of him.

You know, from hearing the roar of the brass dragon to the time he entered the tunnel, it took only a few minutes from beginning to end.

In such a short period of time, he was able to quietly sneak into the treasure house of the temple, and quickly appointed more than thirty snake-man guards as the guards of the most important place in the entire snake-man group. Doubt, and kill the powerful demon snake priest.

In addition, this is a narrow tunnel, which can only accommodate two people fighting side by side at most, and two people can do this kind of thing.

Bryan reckoned that the strength shown by the opponent would definitely not be inferior to himself who displayed all his strength in the fight.

Fortunately, what reassures him is that this sudden intruder is an ally rather than an enemy to him, because this is the reinforcement he asked the golden dragon Paralandax to help him.

From the moment he learned that Seth's avatar left his thoughts on the holy emblem, he realized that he must not let this ancient evil god be at the mercy of him to help him complete his mission.

Therefore, in the process of talking with Seth's avatar in secret, he let the golden dragon turn into an invisible ghost and leave quietly, and then he slowly accumulated strength until he suppressed Seth's thoughts so that he could not sense what was going on here. something happened.

After this power disappeared and Seth's avatar regained its perception of the outside world, it is very likely that he had taken the Miser energy core and walked on the road to the ancient city of Olem.

As for why he brought the snake girl Bertha with him, it was not only to prevent accidents from happening, but also to act as a bargaining chip for him and Seth to turn against each other.

After all, he has seen that Seth's avatar not only attaches great importance to this snake-man girl who has awakened the memory of the Sarukh shaman, but even intends to train her as his own electorate.

As long as Bertha's life and death are in his own hands, then Seth's clone will not dare to make mistakes at will.

Because Seth wants to restore his former divine power, the electorate who is responsible for gathering the beliefs of the material world is an indispensable existence. Such an important role cannot be as simple and casual as choosing a wild dog on the roadside.

It can be seen from the fact that the snake-man girl was able to revive the memory of the Sarukh witch-horse, this is obviously a long-planned plan when Seth's avatar was trapped in the witch-horse tower.

Just waiting for a predestined person like him to come to help him complete the task, he will naturally take it into his own hands.

While thinking, Brian has come to the end of the passage.

What appeared in front of him was a huge and heavy door made of materials similar to bronze. The door was half-closed, and the bluish-white magic light faintly leaked from behind the door.

Brian stopped abruptly with a serious look on his face.

He could feel that in the space behind the door, there was an endless stream of aura that could only be felt from a strong person whose strength surpassed the limit of ordinary people.

Brian thought for a while, and immediately raised his right hand. As he powerfully recited spells containing terrifying energy, the "Bigby King Kong Fist" formed by the thick force field energy contained an unrivaled power. Power, bombarded on the bronze gate in front of him.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the door, which weighed at least ten tons, opened back with a muffled sound as if it had been hit violently by a battering ram.

Immediately afterwards, Brian activated the legendary professional feature "Legendary Arcane Master" of the Grand Arcanist without hesitation.

Accompanied by violent magical energy in the air, two bucket-thick scorching lightning suddenly condensed into shape, tearing apart the darkness instantly, and entering the gate.

The bright and dazzling brilliance instantly illuminated the space inside and outside the treasure house into a snow white, making it impossible to see anything.

Facing Bryan's attack.

In the treasure house, a vicious sneer followed the piercing and loud metal strikes, and the deep voice actually uttered a spell with the same powerful energy as Brian's power.

The invisible blocking force field stood up in the blink of an eye, colliding fiercely with the two bolts of lightning released by Brian.

To Brian's surprise, his own lightning, which was enough to instantly kill a legendary warrior, could not penetrate the blocking force field emitting a faint golden light, and it directly went back and forth several times in the entire room, leaving countless holes on the walls and ceiling. The ten scorched black traces were puzzled, the energy of the lightning was finally exhausted, and the light of the entire space returned to normal levels.

"Lightning? It's this damn boring lightning again!" The exasperated and sharp voice roared:
"Don't you fools know anything but lightning and fireballs?"

Bryan didn't have so much nonsense, and with a thought, he used the arcane shaping feature to condense the nine-ring evocation spell "Ice Rage" into a wide ice giant sword, which flickered to the speaker, mercilessly Straight to the door.

"boom!"

The icy giant sword shining with a strong blue light collided with a trident that was resisting hastily, and suddenly exploded.

The cold blue-white energy, centered on Brian's right hand holding the sword, spewed out like a volcanic eruption, freezing everything around in an instant, turning it into a vast expanse of whiteness.

The tall figure who was attacked by Bryan was startled. Although he twisted away the frontal spray of ice energy through the snake's flexible body in time, he was still wiped by the frost so that his whole body was covered with a thin layer of condensation. The thin frost and thick snake tail were frozen on the ground, making it difficult to move.

Brian was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when he suddenly heard someone yelling in a low voice: "Brian, stop!"

In this kind of life-and-death struggle, if someone really quit because of a word from the other party, then he is either a fool or an idiot, and Brian is naturally neither.

However, what Brian didn't expect was that Seth's avatar hidden in the holy emblem broke through the seal he had imposed on him at this time, and shouted coldly in an old voice: "Stop it now, don't you want to destroy Miser?" Can it be nuclear?"

Hearing this, Brian stopped the spell he was about to prepare in time, glanced at the snake priest who had recovered from the frost state, and with a flash spell, he retreated cleanly.

"Huh, it turned out to be a snake man?" The embarrassing snake man priest who was attacked by Bryan first glanced at Bryan who had not yet released his transformation state in surprise, then paused for a few seconds, and then spat out a scarlet snake letter with a sharp voice Asked:
"You are not my Snakeman of Salukda, who are you?"

The surprise of the snake-man priest somewhat eased the tense atmosphere in the room. The flames of war that had already been ignited were temporarily extinguished under such scruples.

Brian didn't pay attention to the snake-man priest immediately, but focused on examining it carefully. He saw more than a dozen bluish-white magic light balls suspended in mid-air, illuminating the entire treasure house.

The area here is not too spacious, only about [-] square meters. A large number of gold coins and various gemstones are randomly piled up on the ground. On the weapon rack erected by the wall, there are hundreds of precious magic weapons hanging everywhere. and armor, a pity that the vast majority were destroyed in the heat of battle.

But the most eye-catching thing is still placed among these priceless treasures. It has been handed down from the ancient Netheril era to the present. The most important secret treasure is the Mither energy core that Brian wants to get.

This huge transparent crystal ball with a beautiful pure mithril base, about 50 meters in diameter, and almost occupying half of the room, is undoubtedly the Miser energy core.

Although it is still in a silent state, it has not been activated to play a real role.

But it seems to be forever shrouded in a layer of mysterious light, so that no one can easily take their eyes off it.

For Brian, the Miser Energy Core is naturally very important, because it is his next strategic equipment against Falin Mokui.

Then, Brian calmed down, and under the instruction of Seth's avatar, he waved his hand. Under the influence of divine power, the huge Miser energy core suddenly became smaller and smaller, and then he just stared blankly under the dumbfounded gaze of everyone. was received by him in a different dimension.

"This is my promise." Seth's avatar's slightly chilled old voice was transmitted to Brian's mind through the holy emblem, "Now, should you explain something to me?"

Obviously, although he was temporarily shielded from external perception by Brian, as a former ancient evil god, he quickly figured out what happened just now after recovering.
