Arcane Journey

Chapter 431 The Great Sealed City

"I would like to hear more about it." Brian stopped talking nonsense, and directly asked Seth about the seven artifacts of Imasca.

From the information he has, he still knows about the traces of these artifacts, but these are basically legends, and there is no conclusive evidence at all.

So his purpose of asking this ancient evil god was just to confirm the authenticity of the legend, but he didn't really want to follow his instructions, or even let him manipulate and use him to find it.

Seeing the other party's expression of interest, Seth no longer concealed it, weighed it up in his heart, and began to tell him about the whereabouts of the Seven Artifacts.

"Do you know the Karatu continent in the east?" He asked directly after sorting out his words.

"Of course I understand." Hearing that the other party mentioned the continent of Karatu, Brian vaguely guessed what Seth wanted to say, which made him realize that the only thing he knew was about one of the seven Imasca artifacts, the most detailed The legend is probably true.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't understand, I will ask directly." He pretended to be impatient and urged.

Seth wasn't angry about Brian's attitude. After all, in his opinion, as long as the other party couldn't wait to know the whereabouts of these artifacts, then he would have a better chance of using him to deal with the Mulhorand pantheon.

He unhurriedly narrated to Brian:
"In 1374 BC of the Xianglong calendar, a craftsman named Chen Tan unintentionally excavated the Book of Tanyan, one of the seven artifacts, from the ruins of Imasca. After he mastered the knowledge in the book, his strength increased greatly. , not only assassinated the Sapphire Queen of the Xianglong Empire, but also seized her throne, and finally, under the leadership of the sage Shi Zhi, an uprising broke out against Chen Tan and drove the emperor away from Meilan City."

"And then?" Bryan nodded secretly. The news the other party had was not much different from the rumors he had heard, and the next step was the key to confirm whether the news was true.

"Chen Tan was seriously injured and escaped, and returned to the Luolong Desert, transformed into a lich, and began to search for other lost Imaskar artifacts to complete his revenge."

The Luoyan Desert was once the core area of ​​the Imaskar Empire in history, but it was destroyed in the battle between the Empire, the Unther gods and the Mulhorand pantheon.

The endless desert and harsh living environment forced the survivors to migrate westward.

But in today's desert, there are only gravels everywhere and wasteland full of sand and dust, which have become the habitat of brass dragons and blue dragons, and there are also a large number of fire elves wandering here.

Seeing Brian listening carefully, Seth continued, "This desert not only buries a large number of powerful artifacts, but also hides the largest temple of the evil god Seth, and Chen Tan is hiding deep in the temple. None of the powerful members of the Church of Seth know about it."

This is not what Seth deliberately said in order to let Brian help him deal with the Mulhorand pantheon, but the fact.

It is precisely because of this reason that he deliberately told the other party the whereabouts of the artifact with the clearest trace, and then he could guide Brian step by step into his plan in a circular manner, and help him fight against Mulhorand pantheon.

This lich named Chen Tan was also one of his candidates for dealing with the evil god Seth.

'As expected. '

Hearing Seth's claim that Chen Tan was hiding behind the Temple of Seth, Brian was suddenly surprised, which meant that the legends he had heard in the game world were real.

"Where is the temple of Seth?" He deliberately showed an impatient expression, and asked Seth.

Seeing that Brian had successfully attracted his attention by his news, Seth nodded secretly, but he was quite disdainful in his heart, and even thought with disdain: the spellcasters in the material world are indeed the most greedy.

This was the case with the former Imascar Empire, and when the empire fell, it was the same with the great arcanists who drove the floating city to watch, even the elf mages were no exception.

Always remember to eat but not to fight.

Facing Brian's question, He said in a slightly cold tone, "Do you think I should tell the answer to the question at this time?"

"Of course not." Brian seemed to have expected the other party to say that, and he said without paying attention, "If it were me, I wouldn't either."

"But..." He pondered for a moment, then said with a half-smile:

"This news alone wants to impress me and let me cooperate with you. Do you think it's possible? After all, this is the largest temple of the evil god Set in the material world. I don't want to let myself become your tool in the end."

In fact, when he learned that Chen Tan was hiding in the Temple of Seth, he didn't bother to listen to Seth's deliberate words.

Because as a traverser, he not only knows where the temple of Seth is hidden, but also knows that the Lich Chen Tan has gathered an army of constructs and undead creatures in the destroyed city of Imascar, Sauron. , used the powerful magic from that ancient empire to destroy the temple of Seth, and even marched eastward, trying to conquer the Xianglong Empire.

The only thing he was not sure about was whether Chen Tan really had one of the seven artifacts on him.

Now after getting a positive answer from Seth, he can wait until he has a certain strength, and then go directly to the Luolong Desert, and take advantage of the Lich Chen Tan's fledgling to kill him forcefully and seize his artifact.

There is no need to get involved with Seth's forces in order to obtain the artifact.

Of course, if this matter accidentally involves the evil god Seth and has an intersection with him, he doesn't mind using his foresight ability to make good use of Seth, let the old enemies fight back and forth, and he will You can hide in the dark and fish in chaos.

I just don't know if Seth's mind hidden in the holy emblem thinks the same way.

Of course Seth thought so too.

As a true God, although He can see through his own ability that Brian belongs to people outside of fate at a glance, and is especially good at interfering with certain historical processes, He does not know Brian's prophetic ability.

Seeing that Brian had successfully attracted his attention, he continued:

"Of course I know that it is impossible for you to cooperate with me based on this news alone, but the following news will be given to you for free as my cooperation sincerity."

"Oh?" Brian became interested. This time he didn't pretend, but really wanted to know about other artifacts besides Chen Tan.

"What I want to talk about is an existing Imasca city." Seth said in an old voice without haste:

"Listen clearly, this is not a relic left by the Imasca Empire, a city occupied by the latecomers, but a city established by the few surviving Imasca people after the demise of the Imasca people. City."

Hearing this, Brian's expression of surprise was undisguised.

He really didn't expect that he could get such a piece of explosive news from Seth, which was really an unexpected harvest.

However, he quickly calmed down.

If the news belongs to the news, it must be ordered to verify its authenticity.

Since this city established by the Imascans can exist until now, and there has never been a history of being discovered, it proves its power and mystery.

Obviously, it is definitely not an existence that he can easily set foot on.

"Many people think that the Imascar civilization of the machine empire was destroyed thousands of years ago, but in fact, a few survivors of the Imasca people fled to the dark regions far from the ground, and established the underground Imascar civilization. Calgary, also known as the city of the Great Seal, is used to protect itself and its descendants."

Seth recounted to him: "They used powerful magic to hide the city, so that for the past 4000 years, the inhabitants of Faerûn were unaware of their existence.

Ten years ago, in order to find an ally against the Mulhorand pantheon, when I spread my divine power to the Underdark, I accidentally discovered that the great seal separating the Imascans from the outside world had failed.

Despite this, the subterranean Imaskars avoid contact with the outside world, but the city occasionally sends spies to the outside world.Of course, these spies are the most reliable and best kept secrets, just in case the memory of home location has been removed from their brains. "

"As the sincerity of this cooperation, I will tell you the specific location of Imasca City in the Underdark Region. Presumably, in the main material world, there is no force that knows more about their former artifacts than the Imasca people. As for Whether you can get it or not depends entirely on your own luck.”

"I declare in advance that I am not interested in anything other than being obsessed with restoring my own divine power. If you know you are invincible, we can fully cooperate in depth." Seth added at the end At the same time, he blatantly stated that he wanted to cooperate with Brian.

In his view, most of the conspiracies and tricks are not directly pointed out to be more convincing.

As a god, he knew very well that with Brian's current ability, let alone going to the city of Imasca in the Underdark region to try their hand at their artifacts, he might not even be able to pass the level of the Temple of Seth.

The only wise choice is to choose to cooperate with him. He knows that the other party is a smart person and can make the most correct choice.

"Then I would like to thank you for your generosity." Brian naturally knew what Seth's plan was, and he had learned from the past. How could he heal so quickly? times of cooperation.

He said with a smile on his face, "As for how to find these things, I don't need to worry about it, I know it well."

Regarding Brian's answer, Seth obviously knew it well.

If the other party nodded and agreed without hesitation, it would surprise him, and even consider whether to accept it.

Afterwards, he told the other party the detailed location of Imasca City.

In order not to arouse the other party's suspicion and possible cooperation in the future, Seth naturally told the truth without saying anything. As for whether the other party can be found, or welcomed by the hostile Imascans, That's not something He needs to worry about.

According to the information he possesses, the underground city of Imasca is ruled by a supreme decision-making officer artificer Ellis Kendyne who is powerful as a high-level legend.

He governs the entire city through an organization of mages called "Decision Makers", who are responsible for discussing the government's long-term policies and the city's development plan.

The other two high-ranking legendary powerhouses, Juba Setisema and Ms. Freema Selovan, the executive officer, directly serve the supreme decision-maker.

The Watcher supervises the information and resources of the city, and his subordinates are also responsible for the magical defense of the entire city.

The Executor is responsible for carrying out the orders given by the Supreme Policy Officer, and her department is also responsible for making the laws of the city.

Although the supreme decision-maker has the supreme power, if the watcher and the executive officer disagree with his decision, the two can make his order impossible to implement by means of obedience and violation.

City governments have been free from corruption for more than 600 years.

Recent events, however, have pitted the three rulers at odds.

The highest decision-maker is completely opposed to opening the city of Imaskar Underground, and also does not agree to send Imaskar from the Underground into the outside world.

Windwatcher Juba Setisema, however, felt it was time to turn the city's attention to the outside world.

With the acquiescence of Lady Cylovan, he broke the seal and sent spies into the Underdark.

Naturally, Seth would not tell Brian the news. He would patiently stay at the Wuzhu Spire on the Chuertan Peninsula. If the seven artifacts are persistent, they will take the initiative to deliver them to your door.

At that time, He will once again start planning a series of plans against the Mulhorand pantheon.

"It turned out to be in the Underdark?" After getting the detailed location of Imasca City from Seth, Brian showed a surprised expression.

As a time traveler, after personally experiencing the major event in the game world where the demon lords of the bottomless abyss swiped the Underdark as a copy, he also gained a deep understanding of the underground world.

But even so, he didn't know anything about the city of Imasca hidden underground.

From this we can see how deeply the city hides.

In this case, he felt that when the incarnations of the demon lords of the bottomless abyss came to the Underdark region, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos and find an opportunity to sneak into the city and try it out secretly.

After deciding on his future plans, Brian stopped talking nonsense to Seth and left the room directly, heading towards the deepest part of the lost city.

After all, the main purpose of his coming here is to find the 'Earth Prophet' Acindor.

It has been delayed here for so long, so naturally it cannot be wasted any longer.

Fortunately for Brian, after the magic circle used to confine the space in the room was broken, he did not receive any magical messages about the Harper leader Storm.

This also means that the dark rituals performed by the followers of the Lost Lady on the Shadow Coast have not yet begun.
