Arcane Journey

Chapter 411 The Lost City
In just a few minutes, he crossed the thick rock formation, left the underground mine, floated up the highest glacier, and reached the sky above the Enook Desert.

But the exit of the tunnel is not here, it extends straight to the southeast, seemingly endless.

Everything is like a dream, making people unable to tell whether it is real or not.

Here the factors of time, space, distance, etc., all lose the meaning that all the inhabitants of the main material world are usually familiar with.

Brian could vaguely see that forests, rivers, and mountains were constantly interlaced in the rapidly changing scenery under his feet.

In an instant, a vast expanse of yellow sand appeared in front of my eyes.

The Great Sand Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, occupying the horizon in the southeast, northwest, no matter which direction you look at it, it is all sand dunes that have not changed.

"This is already the Enook Desert." Brian said politely to the brass dragon and storm beside him, "Thank you for your help, let's separate here."

After going through many twists and turns, he finally found the location of the ancient city of Olem, how could he give up so easily.

After all, this is related to whether he can obtain another complete set of color-resistant scrolls.

The leader of the harpist, Storm, nodded slightly when he heard the words, and immediately brushed the ends of his hair that had been blown by the wind, looked worriedly in the direction of the Shadow Sea, and said softly:

"I see, you can look for the traces of the Prophet of the Earth at ease. Before going to the snake city, I have already contacted my sister Simbu. I will be responsible for the Church of the Lost Lady. Even if I try my best With all your strength, I will delay until you bring back the Holy Grail of Amana Tower, and never let the plot of the Lost Lady succeed."

Hearing this, Brian secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

For his own strength, he is still somewhat self-aware.

If he were to face the Church of the Lost Lady alone, as well as those heretics and Felin Mokui who were performing dark rituals, he would naturally not risk his life.

Although the Church of Shar belonging to the City of Shades has been almost exhausted in the previous battles, its vitality and the princes of Share are almost exhausted, but the Church of Shar is deeply rooted in the entire main material plane, but it still hides a huge power.

What makes Brian quite afraid is the 'black yarn' Illyrel who he once had a relationship with.

As the spokesperson of the lost lady Shar in the material world, Illyrel is the most difficult and powerful existence for him to see through.

Even in the game world of his previous life, he had only heard of the other party's name and approximate origin.

Although this mysterious woman has never appeared since the Lost Lady targeted the Goddess of Magic, Brian can clearly perceive that the other party is the most secret behind-the-scenes manipulator besides Shar.

In this series of plans, whether it is the Shadow Plane of Guangze, the fall of Shadow Valley, or the Nether Scroll lost by Myth Drano, I am afraid that it is the result of Illyrel's secret planning.

Moreover, the opponent's powerful strength, even in the face of Simbu who is in a state of rage, can evacuate safely, which is something that Brian can't compare with.

If he really encountered this difficult enemy in the next plan, then with his current strength alone, he had no choice but to run away.

So, leave this kind of enemy to the voters of Mystra, the goddess of magic.

Just when Brian was about to leave, Storm seemed to think of something again. His beautiful eyes that were as bright as stars flickered a few times, and he said in a solemn tone: "Mr. The incarnation of the shadow power."

"How could I forget that?" Brian immediately understood what the other party wanted to say, and asked quickly, "Could it be that you have found her trace?"

It is said that during the turbulent years, the god of thieves, Mask, was hunted down by the chaotic dog. In order to survive, he voluntarily gave up the priesthood of stealing and thieves, but he never thought that only the shadow priesthood was lost. It became the sword of killing gods.

Two-thirds of the divine power contained in the Sword of Death was absorbed by the seed that the Lost Lady placed in the material world in advance, that is, the Shadow Guard Assassin Krisanna, and the rest was obtained by the eldest prince Rui Valan of the City of Shadows.

In the end, after Rui Valan was killed by Brian, this part of his divine power was re-imprisoned by him.

But Krisanna, the incarnation of the Lost Lady who possesses the power of shadow, has been stuck in the material world and disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, after Brian learned that Storm had mentioned this issue to him, he couldn't wait to ask.

Compared to 'Black Veil' Illyrel, this avatar is the most terrifying threat right now.

If he met Illyrel, Brian might still be able to escape confidently with his own strength, but when he met her, he really couldn't figure out how to escape.

Even if he has the ability of cloning or psion to plant the seeds of rebirth in the astral world, he has no confidence in being able to resurrect and live out a second life.

"Even if I mobilized all the forces in the intelligence network, I still couldn't find her trace." Storm shook his head helplessly:

"After all, she is the incarnation of the Lost Lady. She is the goddess who is in charge of secrets. Now she has obtained part of the shadow priesthood. It is easy to hide her tracks. Even as long as she is willing, she can rely on her own strength to kill the material world. Any legendary professional,"

"But she didn't do that." Brian picked out the key points of his words, and said calmly, "Obviously, she is probably worried about something, so why did you mention her to me?"

What exactly is the incarnation of the Lost Lady thinking about?
In fact, this question can be easily guessed. Brian looked up at the clear night sky, the bright moonlight pouring down from the silver glow, and the answer is self-evident.

"Although I haven't found her trace, I probably know that at a critical moment, she will definitely appear somewhere in the Ennook Desert to ensure a smoother completion of the plan." Storm told Brian, "So, You should be more careful."

"How should I be careful..." Brian asked helplessly, "In front of her, I'm afraid I don't even have the hope of escaping, so I can only let the goddess of luck take care of me and pray that she doesn't lock her eyes on me. "

"That's true." Storm nodded slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and reminded:

"However, if you really encounter it, perhaps the power of part of the shadow priesthood in your hand can have unexpected effects."

"Is this true?" Brian was surprised when he heard the words. He didn't expect that the other party's ideas could coincide with his own, which meant that it was really possible to succeed.

"I can't guarantee it." Storm frowned and said, "It's just a conclusion based on my unilateral speculation. Whether it is true or not, I'm afraid you can only know if you try it."

"Then I'd rather not try it." Brian smiled and shrugged.

Even though he said so, he already believed it with all his heart.

This allowed him to hide deep in his heart, and his worst worries disappeared.

Then, after Brian briefly talked with Storm about some precautions about the dark ceremony held by the Church of the Lost Lady, he didn't waste any more time and prepared to leave.

"Hey! Don't leave, what about me? What do you want me to do next?" As if it had been forgotten long ago, the brass dragon flapped its wings suddenly, raising a burst of sand and dust, brushing away its sense of existence, "Such a fun thing, isn't there any task for me? This is too disrespectful to me."

"Aren't you going to the city of Orem where the Prophet of the Earth hides, there must be many treasures of ancient races buried there, let me go with you, so that I can easily protect your safety, how about it?" He lowered his head in front of Brian, blinking comically, asking for his opinion.

"I appreciate your kindness." Brian refused:
"I think it's better to forget it. If you really want to help us, I suggest you go to the Shadow Coast with Ms. Storm. As far as I know, the Church of the Lost Ms. All the riches that were collected were piled up there, especially the sparkling gems..."

"Really?" The brass dragon was immediately attracted:
"Then I'd better go with Ms. Storm. After all, the space in the underground world is too small. If I fly, I worry about hitting my head, which will seriously affect my strength. The desert is my home field, and I can play the most powerful in battle." the power of."

Looking at the brass dragon whose eyes became brighter and brighter, flapping its wings and following the storm and flying towards the Sea of ​​Shadows, Brian smiled, opened a portal, and disappeared in place.

After a whirlwind, he reappeared in the huge cave in the ruins of the snake city.

Rather than saying that this is a city ruin, it might as well be called a solidified magma sea.

At this moment, the eruption of this underground volcano has long since ceased, and the erupting magma also solidifies at an extremely fast speed under the cold temperature of the highest glacier.

Looking at all this in front of him, Brian suddenly thought that building the Floating Void City by himself doesn't require a lot of obsidian, or the raw materials are readily available right now.

So, he immediately kept his mind on it, and planned to develop this place well after this mission was over, making it a factory for producing obsidian.

"It's strange, the snake girl who turned into a Sarukh witch didn't appear here." The idea of ​​the golden dragon Paralandax sounded in Brian's mind, "This tells us how to find Orem The location of the city?"

"It doesn't matter." Brian took out the holy emblem engraved with a snake-shaped pattern, and said indifferently, "The monk can't escape the temple if he runs away, and the Sarukh witch is gone, but at least he is still here."

He was too lazy to explain to Jinlong what a monk is and what a temple is, and immediately transferred his thoughts to the holy emblem in his palm, "Your Excellency Seth, how long are you going to remain silent? Don't forget our original agreement, should you Maybe it's because they want to turn their backs and deny it."

After a long time, the old voice of Seth's avatar came out from the holy emblem, "Of course I won't, but what you did made me think about whether we should continue to cooperate."

"If you hadn't called on your allies to wreak havoc in this city without my permission." There was a trace of uncontrollable anger in his words, "It would be impossible to detonate the volcano deep in the ground and cause the entire city to Including the death of all the snake people here, how do you explain it?"

"I think you have misunderstood something." Brian said indifferently:
"If the reinforcements I called were not chosen by the Goddess of Magic, I'm afraid they would have died under the trident of Marshak's incarnation as you wished. As a bystander, how should you explain it?"

From the moment he released the snake-man girl, he saw the evil intentions hidden in Seth's avatar.

The other party deliberately showed his identity to Marshak's incarnation, and also gave him the illusion that he was Seth's clone, so that Marshak's incarnation did not hesitate to activate the divine power field, but also killed him on the spot.

At that time, if it hadn't been for Storm, who was the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, to summon a wild magic energy from the depths of the magic net with silver fire, facing the shock wave of divine power, even if Brian survived by luck, he would have to pay a heavy price.

Therefore, after learning about the trick of Seth's clone, he planned to wait until the battle was over, and directly detonate the volcano deep in the ground, so that all the snake people would be buried with the incarnation of the snake god.

Unexpectedly, this underground volcano was accidentally detonated by the powerful force erupted by Marshak's avatar, and the long-planned plan of Seth's clone fell through.

"In this case, there is no need for cooperation between us." Seth's clone said in the same indifferent tone, "Without the Holy Grail of Amana Tower of the Earth Prophet, I want to see how you can prevent the Lost Lady from replacing The Dark Ritual of the Weave."

"I don't know how to stop the dark ritual." Brian's words were full of threats:
"But I know that even if the Shadow Demon Net replaces the Magic Net, I can survive safely. At that time, I will definitely go to Mulhorand in person. Believe me, if the voters of Seth know about the witch The position of the spire, He will definitely be like the incarnation of Marshak, he will not hesitate to consume divine power to bring down the incarnation, and will completely wipe you out, and you may even face the entire Mulhorand pantheon. With a clone, it will only end up being hoisted and hammered by the opponent."

"If I'm not mistaken..." Brian looked around and said in words full of meaning, "The reason why your voter left here is probably to hide the location of the Witch Boa Spire in the Chult Jungle as soon as possible."

"Do you think you can really hide the father of the dinosaurs completely under the nose?"

What a joke, Brian didn't believe that Seth's avatar would honestly retract back to the Wuzhu Spire when the snake people here were completely wiped out.

I am afraid that at this moment, he is more anxious than himself to go to Olem City.

As for the matter of informing Mulhorand's pantheon, it was all nonsense, because Brian had no means of re-finding the Spire of the Witch.

"You..." Seth's clone was threatened by Brian, and he was so angry that he didn't know how to speak.

Although he was confident that it would be impossible to find the location of the Wuzhi Spire with Brian's ability alone, he was afraid of anything but just in case, and he didn't dare to take the risk.

After all, I only have one clone left. If it is really discovered and eliminated by the mortal enemy Seth, it means that the ancient god in the period of the Sarukh witch has completely fallen.

Therefore, without the support of the snake man's belief, he could only go to the city of Olem, trying to persuade the group of sleeping Sarukh witches to help him.

As for the words that threatened Brian not to go to Olem City, it was just to frighten him out of anger.

In fact, he is more eager than anyone else to go to the city of Orem, eager to gain the support of this group of ancient races.

"Let's go." After a long time, Seth's avatar pretended to struggle in his heart for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "I will open the seal and take you to the lost city."
