Chapter 47 It’s hard to calm down
“This blade has a long history, far surpassing the entire civilization. When I wield it, its power is also the same!
The sword mage holds the rune sword tightly and surges. Dynamic arcane energy spurted out from her body, her long reddish-brown hair glowed faintly, and her straight body was as dazzling as the radiance of the hot sun.
As the sword blade shone. The criss-crossing arcane runes shone with bursts of silver light, and irregular dark purple electric arcs jumped and swallowed the entire sword body.
The sword mage surrounded by electric light condensed, and suddenly purple light leaped out. Dianmang.
——"Silver Thunder Galloping!"
As she slashed the sword blade horizontally with a dazzling technique, the arc-jumping sword edge suddenly released purple thunder.
A moment!
The arcane runes glowing with purple light shot out from the blade of the sword, covering the top of the roaring purple insect, pouring down like a waterfall of noise, dazzling lightning that tore through the darkness.
The sword mage held up the arc-filled rune sword, turned into silver lightning with a figure that no one could see clearly, and ran towards the suffocating huge figure of the purple insect.
"For the Kingdom of Cormyr!"
A flash of lightning that tore through the darkness, followed by a clear and loud voice that echoed in the huge tunnel.
For the Kingdom of Cormyr?
Hearing this passionate slogan, Brian, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.
All of a sudden, thousands of complicated emotions flooded into his heart.
He found in disbelief that a certain nerve in his heart suddenly spasmed because of this slogan.
This is like a plucked string, emitting a vibrating echo that echoes in my heart for a long time and is difficult to calm down.
So much so that his heart was filled with some inexplicable emotions that were difficult to let go, unwilling to accept, sad, angry, and unable to be vented.
Then, his long-term composure and calmness made him regain his sanity in an instant, and he found the root cause of this problem.
Fight for the Kingdom of Cormyr
Brian muttered to himself and repeated this slogan that he was so familiar with and had shouted countless times in the game.
In this indescribable atmosphere, when the Kingdom of Cormyr was mentioned again, despite this dangerous environment, he couldn't help but feel dazed.
Because he felt that he recalled a memory that was so long ago that he had long forgotten:
The huge and steep forbidden land "Stormhorn Mountains" is like a high wall blocking the orc army. There are passages only at High Point Pass and Gnoll Pass.
'Thunder Peak' is named after the destructive storms that ravage the land all year round. The harsh climate makes large-scale mining activities very difficult, but there are always some lone players who happily bring fist-sized coins with them. Natural gold ore is back.
A lost civilization that predates the elves lies dormant in the Far Sea Swamp, and its only remains are gorgeous buildings made of steel-hard glass.
The most primitive forest in Cormyr, 'Hurek', not only has unknown hidden valleys, but also ghost-like creatures and monsters continue to appear in legends.
Taking a boat from the calm, clear star-shaped lake ‘Pterosaur Lake’, you can directly reach the Falling Star Sea.
“The Kingdom of Cormyr,” Brian repeated with emotion, and couldn’t help cursing, “This was a fucking memory from so long ago, and it’s still so fucking annoying to think about it now. ”
Actually, he rarely curses, but whenever he thinks about the future history of the Kingdom of Cormyr, he gets very angry.
Even after so many years, he still felt an unquenchable regret and regret in his heart, as well as an uneasy feeling suppressed in the deepest part of his heart.
Cormyr is a forest kingdom established over a thousand years.
A land of great undulations, green and friendly land, surrounded by mountains on the sides, and ancient and deep green forests overlooking the customs and customs of the people.
Dragon, stag and unicorn highlight the local characteristics in the folklore, ballads and heraldry of the Kingdom of Cormyr:
The dragon represents the ancient, unruly and unruly spirit of the place. Wild, the stag represents the gifts from the earth, while the unicorn symbolizes the tranquility and mystery deep in the forest.
It is famous for its well-trained legions of purple dragon knights and war mages.
It also prides itself on exquisite food, honest and kind people, incomprehensible mysteries, and abundant communication with other parts of the world.
This is a prosperous country defended by complete laws and kindness.
Although the number of their player groups is not as large as that of Waterdeep in the Sword Coast and Silvermoon City in the North, people born in this country can have the most profound experience of safety, justice and warmth. .
Because of this.
The Kingdom of Cormyr has become the most relatable and emotional country for their player base.
However, any beautiful and desirable place will often cause evil hearts to beat here, and the Kingdom of Cormyr is no exception.
This is why when he heard that the surface of the earth was the Kingdom of Cormyr, he chose his foothold after a moment of consideration.
In fact, as a player who has been in the Kingdom of Cormyr since the beginning of the game and witnessed the destruction of this forest kingdom with his own eyes.
He can still clearly recall every heart-stringing disaster.
It is these disasters that push the Kingdom of Cormyr step by step into the abyss of shadow.
The Year of Flames and Despair.
In the northernmost rocky wasteland of Cormyr, the town of Mokou, built by the pioneer lords, was attacked by an adult red dragon, which directly led to the fall of the town and became the center of the Sanlin Pagoda Society, the Dragon Cult and the The transportation artery controlled by the three evil forces in Yinhun City.
This Mokou town, which is related to the Eno Oak Desert, has always been a pain for the kingdom.
Unfortunately, until the kingdom was destroyed, it could not be recaptured.
The Year of the Dance with Dragons.
The initial test of the Dragon Madness Mystery Lock, which the Dragon Cult is dedicated to researching, was successful, and the entire Kingdom of Cormyr was ravaged by giant dragons.
Tifanton, Mashamber, Morningstar Town and many settlements were burned to the ground, and the capital city of Susal was fiercely attacked by ancient red dragons and black dragons.
The High Mage Sandra Hast was seriously injured in an aerial battle against two ancient dragons. When the battle spread to the ground, the king of Cormyr and the two dragons perished together, leaving only one less than one in the end. A two-year-old son succeeds to the throne of Cormyr.
The year the kingdom was divided.
After the death of King Cormyr, his brother Prince Selant formed a mercenary army and launched attacks in many places in Cormyr. The goblin and orc armies in the Stormhorn Mountains also led many orc shamans to loot various parts of the kingdom. .
With the assistance of the Sembian army, Prince Selant broke into the capital city of Susar, killed the young king, and became the heir to the throne of Cormyr.
However, the Purple Dragon Knights and the War Mage Legion did not recognize the false king sitting on the throne, and naturally were unwilling to swear allegiance to him, and all retreated to Arabey City.
Under the leadership of the Grand Duchess of the Raul family, they continue to work hard to put down the rebellion and restore the country.
The Year of the Scar of the Magic Network.
In the conspiracy of the night goddess Shar against the magic goddess Mystra, Shar's high-ranking priestess completed a huge ritual, tore a rift in the magic network, and successfully summoned the magic weapon over the city of Tifanton in the north of Cormyr. A cross-dimensional shadow crack appeared.
Countless creatures from the Shadow Plane poured into the material world and completely destroyed the city.
The vast majority of the residents were killed in this premeditated disaster. The priestesses of Shar resurrected the corpses into an undead army, and combined with the puppet king's army, launched a fierce attack on Arabel City.
With the assistance of many player forces, Arabey's coalition successfully crushed the undead army and the puppet king's rebels.
The Shadow Crack was also sealed with the efforts of the Harper organization, ending this disaster.
Weeping for the year of the storm.
With the silence of the Spider Queen Rose, the Underdark became a place where abyssal demons were raging. Countless demons poured out of the surface, and the Kingdom of Cormyr, located above the ancient city of Orens, was the first among them.
Although the players managed to quell the turmoil with unremitting efforts, the kingdom, which has been fighting for years, has been severely damaged, with countless civilian casualties and the land within the territory has been polluted by demons and turned into a lot of corruption. and polluted places.
The Year of the Long Shadow.
The Haunted People in the Eno Oak Desert took this opportunity to gather an army, and marched towards the Arabe City using the second floating city of Sacros salvaged from the Sea of Fallen Stars.
In the ensuing battle, the lord of Arabel City, with the assistance of the Harpers and the Chosen of the Magic Goddess, unleashed a powerful magical weapon against the Wraith Army.
But the interaction between this weapon and the Shadow Demon Web eventually evolved into a battle between the Shadow Demon Web and the Demon Web to eliminate each other.
The Haunters, descendants of Netheril, and their floating city of Sacros descended over the city of Arabel with an absolute advantage.
The floating city rides on your face and asks you if you are afraid.
There is no doubt that this seems to be a battle without any suspense.
However, the Harper spies completed the counter-attack. Before the battle even started, these scouts sneaked into the floating city in advance and successfully destroyed the energy core "Myser Energy Core".
As a result, events reversed again.
The Harper spies made a mistake in their judgment, causing the floating city to lose power and crash directly into the Arabe City, resulting in the catastrophic destruction of both.
At the same time, on the other side, the Shadow Demonic Network and the Demonic Network are fighting for each other.
Neither of the two goddesses, Shar, the goddess of the night, and Mystra, the goddess of magic, got any advantage. They also triggered an astonishing energy, completely turning the entire Kingdom of Cormyr into a dark sunken space and The Deadly Magic Zone, filled with shadows and floating areas of deep darkness.
.........
At this point, Cormyr, the forest kingdom that lasted for thousands of years, was completely removed from the mainland.
As a witness to the kingdom's demise, Brian had not experienced the 'Red Dragon Rebellion' that had occurred ten years ago before the player group came.
Not only has he experienced all other major events, he has also personally participated in them all.
So, when the Kingdom of Cormyr was destroyed and turned into a dark sunken space, his whole body became numb.
After all, this was the kingdom that he had guarded for more than five years in the game, and he had already developed inseparable emotions. Moreover, he was about to obtain the Purple Dragon Seal Ring, which symbolized identity and status, and then it was suddenly destroyed.
Of course, he was not the only one who was deceived, there were many players, and some even organized to jointly question the game officials. It's like reading a novel full of tragedy.
The reader's heart is like a bowstring, being pulled tighter and tighter with the ups and downs of the plot, until it finally bottoms out and is about to reach a climax.
The bowstring broke.
All the protagonists were killed by the plot.
The villains also smiled and opened champagne during the live broadcast.
Nima!
Who the hell can stand this?
This was how Brian felt at the time, and he sent the blades as well.
Since the beginning of the Dragon Rebellion, for more than five years, he has been running the plot of "Revival of the Kingdom of Cormyr", and even successfully joined the War Mage Legion as a wizard.
After many twists and turns along the way.
He even retreated with the War Mage Legion to the last barrier of the Kingdom of Cormyr: Arabey City.
Most senior gamers once thought that until the end of the big event of the abyss demons emerging from the surface.
According to the past game behavior and plot development, this is the moment when this troubled kingdom is ready to bottom out and is about to usher in rebirth.
The surprising result was that it was directly destroyed.
The official answer of the game is even more speechless. To put it simply:
They are just the agents of the game and the porters of the game cabin. They have no right to interfere or participate in the direction of the plot. .
A certain staff member who had received the most razor blades from players couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply broke the jar and said angrily: If you like to play, you don't want to play!
Fuck him!
Brian could only curse and cross the Enook Desert with an unquenchable anger in his heart, and finally settled down safely in the "Silver Moon City" in the North.
"I hope the little wind stirred up by my little butterfly can play a role in clearing the clouds and seeing the blue sky." He whispered to himself, and his determination became a little firmer again.
His goal is the Great Desert of Aynor Oak, but with his current strength, if he wants to gain a foothold under the eyes of the Netherese descendants in Shade City, it will be difficult for him to do it alone. of.
Besides wooing another descendant from the Arcane Empire, the distant southern kingdom of Halua, the only option is the Kingdom of Cormyr, which is connected to the Great Desert.
No matter what devastating disasters this kingdom suffered in the future, he had to admit that Cormyr was still one of the most prosperous and powerful kingdoms on the continent.
After all, they have the world-famous Legion of Purple Dragon Knights and War Mage.
On the eve of the Dragon Rebellion, Cormyr's army had even pushed to the opposite Dragon Coast.
"Boom!"
The thunderous explosion interrupted Brian's meditation and brought him back to reality.
He was surprised to find that the sword mage's lightning hit the purple insect's forehead, leaving a large burnt black blur, and thick black blood gurgled amidst the roar of the monster. , waving like rain along its dark purple scales.
The sword mage's weak body hit the top of the tunnel due to the purple insect's counterattack, and fell rapidly to the ground.
If it hadn't been for dealing with the drow priestess before, the fireball spell released would have cleared a vacuum zone from the stalactite pillars in the woodland at the top of the tunnel.
This sword mage will definitely end up like the orc who died before, being chopped into skewers by stone pillars.
Brian quickly glanced at the open wound on Purple Insect’s forehead, and secretly admired in his heart. This messenger of chaos, who was advanced from a sword mage, is indeed the one with the strongest power to control the elements. Spell caster.
The most difficult thing to deal with behemoths like purple worms is their hard carapace, which is also Brian's biggest headache.
Otherwise, he could indeed try to hunt it.
Now, the carapace on the purple insect's head has been broken by the sword mage. At this time, he naturally has no scruples and decides to kill this big insect.
——"Dimension jump!"
He did it as he thought. He activated the teleportation spell without hesitation and appeared at the place where the sword mage was about to fall. A princess hugged him and caught him at the waist. In arms.
"Why haven't you left yet?" The sword mage raised his head with difficulty, and after seeing Brian's face clearly, he asked in a weak and reproachful tone.
"I've already thought about it."
Brian glanced at the purple insect who had noticed him, released one hand, and helped the sword mage to stand on the ground reluctantly, "This purple dragon seal ring is still You can keep it for yourself."
"Can you stand up alone?" He continued to ask before the other party could speak.
"It should be okay."
The sword mage gasped, grabbed his arm with both hands, left the embrace, stood unsteadily on the spot, and finally sat on the ground holding the rune sword. ,
"Are you planning to kill this purple insect?"
She immediately realized the other party's purpose and looked at him in disbelief.
In her opinion, the battle mage in front of her was not as powerful as herself.
Besides, they just went through a big battle, how could they still retain the magic of the other party's purple insect?
“That’s right.”
Brian replied flatly.
He grasped the gilded hilt of the 'Dawnbringer' tightly, causing a dazzling light blade to emerge from it. He turned around to meet the purple insect's blood-red gaze and whispered slowly:
"Fight against evil, either fight side by side, or perish separately and fight for the Kingdom of Cormyr."
The sword mage looked at him with a complicated look and sighed softly.
——"Flame Strike!"
Brian waved his lightsaber, and a vertical pillar of sacred light fell from the sky with a deafening roar, accurately covering the purple insect's bloody forehead.
The air waves of the fire pillar were like a waterfall, instantly smashing the purple insect's head to the ground.
Half of the damage of "Fire Strike" comes from fire, and the other half comes directly from divine power.
Facing evil creatures naturally has unexpected effects.
Seeing the purple insect roaring in pain in the pillar of fire, Brian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he directly activated the "Arcane Recall" in the Arcane Fire that could only be used once every three days to replenish half of his arcane energy. .
Immediately afterwards, he did not dare to waste time and quickly cast spells one after another.
——"Third-level spell: Blade Dance Ring!"
——"Second-level spell: Counter-Electric Vendetta!"
——"Super Magic Specialty: The spell is powerful!”
——“Arcane Explosion!”
…………
“Be careful!”
Seeing Brian still casting spells, the sword mage sitting on the ground looked shocked. She resisted the pain that hit her body. Pain, a reminder to him.
Because at this time, the Purple Insect was already in a state of rage and was approaching him with its mouth wide enough to swallow a heavy horse.
But this battle mage was actually indifferent and still used his magic calmly.
When Brian felt the blood flying from Purple Worm's forehead even splashing onto his face, he gritted his teeth and held his breath, clenched the hilt of the sword with both hands, and jumped into the open mouth of Purple Worm without hesitation. The mouth of the abyss.
"This"
The sword mage girl was so frightened by Brian's actions that she was injured. The pain made her break out in cold sweat and almost fainted.
When she concentrated her attention forcibly, she incredibly saw crackling lights flashing from the Purple Insect's mouth, and the sound of a sharp blade spinning like a meat grinder was heard.
A stream of foul-smelling smoke gushes out from the abyssal mouth of the Purple Insect.
As the huge body of the purple insect kept twitching and shaking.
A gleaming, scorching lightsaber suddenly emerged from the gaping wound on its forehead caused by a strong electric shock, and Brian, covered in blood, crawled out like a bud breaking through the ground.
“Bang!”
The behemoth of more than 20 meters fell to the ground with a dull loud noise.
The purple insect twitched and struggled a few times, then lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.
"The target is dead!"
"Soul energy is being extracted."
"Experience points gained: 8000 points!"
…………
Seeing the monster die, Brian let out a sigh of relief.
If it hadn't been for the wristbands given to him by the spider wizard, he wouldn't have been able to resist the strong acid in the purple insect's mouth and the venom from its fangs.
