Chapter 102 The Box of Cyric Church (Third Update)
After cleaning the thick layer of black dust on the surface, the palm-sized holy emblem made of brass finally revealed its true appearance.
On the front is a jawless skull with black light as the background, and on the back is written in Common Language: Surrender before the supreme power of the Dark Sun, mortals.
"Gan! What bad luck!"
After seeing the true face of the Holy Emblem, Zuo Si immediately threw it away without hesitation.
Obviously, this holy emblem represents the turbulent year not long ago (1358 DR). Because of the retrieval of the Tablet of Destiny, Ciri was given all the priesthoods of the three gods of death by the god Io, and she rose from a mortal to the throne of powerful divine power. gram.
At the same time, he is also known as the "King of Lies", "The Ruler of All Disputes, Conspiracies and Death", and "The Source of Chaos".
In another seven or eight years, he should have created the famous artifact-"The Cyric Sutra", and then he accidentally took a look at it and completely fell into madness.
Zuo Sida was filled with contempt in his heart for this capricious god who was as insane in both his doctrine and behavior.
I even think that the god Io must be blind to promote such a thing to the position of powerful divine power.
Accidentally touching his holy symbol was almost as disgusting as stepping in dog poop while walking.
Similarly, Zuo Si no longer had any sympathy or pity for the guys killed by Alena.
Because anyone who can hang out with Pastor Cyric is definitely not a good bird.
One of them will definitely deserve to die.
Just when Zuo Si was about to take everyone back to the city, Alena suddenly raised an undamaged small metal box and shouted: "Look! What did I find?"
"What is it?"
Zuo Si asked subconsciously.
"A sealed container protected by powerful magical power! I can guarantee that it contains something of great value."
Speaking, Alena moved the entire box without hesitation. Throw it away.
Zuo Si hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but was almost knocked over by the weight of the thing.
After he stabilized his body, he realized that the metal box was actually made of fine gold, the heaviest, hardest, and most expensive metal in Faerûn.
In addition, the sides, bottom and lid of this square box, which is ten centimeters long, wide and high, are densely engraved with magical runes symbolizing the power of the gods.
Just by holding it in your hand, you can feel some kind of energy wrapping around the entire box, without even a single gap.
"Where did this thing come from?" Zuo Si's expression suddenly became serious.
Although he has not been exposed to many magical items, he also realizes that this thing is definitely not ordinary.
Alena pointed at the three unlucky guys who were initially killed by the [Fireball] and said: "I found it from this guy dressed as a mage.
He seemed to be carrying a dimensional bag with him.< br>
But when I fell, I seemed to have accidentally turned the entire dimensional bag over, and all the things inside were scattered on the ground.
In addition, I also found a fireproof and waterproof spell book, the same. The fireproof and waterproof scroll box contains almost ten arcane magic scrolls, a cane that can cast [Mage Armor] and [Protect Arrow] once a day.
Finally, there is a +2 defense. Amulet and a [Stoneskin Ring]
.
Unfortunately, it was of no use and was burned to death by the fireball technique I released. "
Glancing at these magic items, Zuo Si immediately frowned and asked, "Are there no notes or anything left behind? "
"Sorry, it seems not. Because the dimensional bag had been completely destroyed by something sharp, even if there were other items stored in it, they would all be gone now. "Alena spread her hands innocently.
As we all know, although the dimensional bag is very convenient to use, it is actually equivalent to an entrance to a different dimension.
Whether it is overweight, Or being scratched by a sharp object will immediately destroy the magic stability of the entrance, eventually leading to catastrophic consequences.
As for the things inside...you don't need to ask to know that all of them are definitely gone, and you can't even hope to find any of them.
Of course, for those powerful spellcasters who can cast the nine-ring magic - wishing spell, or who can capture and imprison the djinn nobles.
Perhaps you can also retrieve one or two of the most valuable items through the almost omnipotent "wishes".
"I think we may be in trouble! Collect the bodies and destroy them immediately."
Zuo Si immediately made a rational judgment.
Whether it is the priest of Cyric or the adamantine box in his hand that is obviously not simple at first sight, both prove that this adventure team is not simple.
Perhaps we are performing some very important transportation and escort missions.
However, considering that he will soon leave Calimport with the caravan, there is no need to worry too much, just cover it up a little.
With Zuo Si's order, the energetic little werewolf immediately started moving.
Not only did they completely burn the bodies with flames, but they also crushed the charred bodies into a pile of unrecognizable ashes and buried them in the woods several kilometers away.
As for the traces left by the battle, they were completely covered up by turning over the soil.
After doing all this, Zuo Si relaxed a little, activated a magic scroll, and added a second-level spell [Shielding Item] to the fine gold box to ensure that it would not be affected by any language magic. Detected and located.
Then he threw it directly into the dimensional bag he carried with him, planning to study it slowly when he had time.
……
At the same time, in the villa area where wealthy businessmen gathered in Calimport.
In a two-story white and gorgeous house, a man was walking around the room anxiously.
His spirit was so tense and urgent that every few seconds he would look up at the exquisite clock he bought at a high price from the Gond Church, the God of Creation and Invention.
The other woman wearing leather armor seemed to be a little bit unbearable, and immediately comforted her: "Relax, Malik. All my men are elites, and the goods transported will never be... If anything happens, they will deliver it to you in ten minutes at most.”
“But you said so ten minutes ago, but they haven’t shown up yet! I know that the contents of the box took me more than a year to get, and I am preparing to sacrifice them to the great King of Lies on the [Holy Day]. If anything goes wrong, not only will I have to be punished, but you and you will also be punished. All my men will die too.”
The man known as Malik roared emotionally.
It can be seen from the holy emblem he wears that his status in Cyric Church is quite high, even higher than many high-ranking priests.
Usually, such a special identity often means one thing, and that is God's appointed elect.
In the continent of Faerûn, the most famous chosen gods are Elminster, chosen by the goddess of magic, and the Seven Sisters of the North.
But in fact, almost all gods have more than one chosen one.
It's just that they are not as generous as the goddess of magic. They will give the chosen people [Silver Fire] that symbolizes divine power, but only some additional knowledge, divine magic or magic-like abilities.
Especially Cyric, a lunatic who chooses voters as he pleases.
As long as you show outstanding deception and lying abilities, you may be favored and blessed by him.
"Calm down! Dear friend! When will I let you down..."
Before the woman could finish her words, a thief came out of the darkness and leaned against her ear. He muttered something under his breath.
Then, the smile on her face froze, and she suddenly grabbed her subordinate by the collar, slammed him against the wall behind her, and roared angrily: "Check it out for me! Find out at all costs! Those few Was the bastard killed or escaped with the goods? "Remember! You only have twenty-four hours!" "What? My goods are lost!" Malik's voice suddenly rose. Octave.
"No! It's not lost! There's just a little problem! Don't worry, I'll take care of it soon." The woman corrected with a sullen face.
