Chapter 173 Silver Moon Dragon Queen
Heliste stood in front of the window with her long silver hair disheveled.
She looked very quiet, not walking around or sighing, nor reading to kill time. She just stared at the disappearing sunset with a calm expression, letting the breeze blow her long hair and dress.
"I kept you waiting for a long time, we can go." Brian put the books in order and said to her.
Herister looked away from the distant sky, walked up to him lightly, and asked him in a soft voice, "Did you discover anything new this time?"
"It's going well." Brian smiled and gave her a reassuring look, "I already have a detailed understanding of the ancient evil thing that destroys the world, the Death Star."
The two said as they walked, "I want to It is obviously impossible to eliminate ancient evils. The best we can do is to drive them away or suppress them. "
"Then do you have any specific countermeasures?" Helist looked at him thoughtfully. He nodded and asked again.
"The plan is not yet mature, so we can only consider it in the long term." Brian frowned and thought for a moment, then said to her:
"The monasteries in the Eastern Karatu Continent are the best at suppressing evil things. , if there is a chance, I can try to invite a monk to build a monastery on the Death Star.”
"Of course, if this plan doesn't work, I have a second plan." He met the suspicion that appeared in Helister's beautiful eyes, and added: "That is to escape!"
" Escape?" Heliste was startled, looking at him doubtfully, and her steps slowed down a bit involuntarily.
"It is to allow the small world to move with us, away from the sight of ancient evil." Brian explained to her.
Looking at Helister's thoughtful look, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In fact, for these two seemingly methods, his hopes were not as high as he thought, but they were indeed the most promising methods he knew so far.
After all, they were facing an ancient evil that even the gods were afraid of. Even a monk from the legendary realm would never be able to suppress it so easily.
As for escaping with the planet, this method seemed useful, but when he thought about how long it would take to complete, he even thought that it was not as reliable as the first method.
In other words, even though he has consulted so much information here, his hope is still a bit too slim for how to save the small world that is targeted by ancient evil creatures.
He can only improve his strength as quickly as possible, look for people or gods who have done special research on ancient evil objects, and think of ways to save them.
“Wanting to take the planet away from the sight of ancient evil things is indeed the least effective method known so far.” Herister came back from her contemplation and looked at him, “The only one The problem is how to solve the problem of driving energy. ”
"Yes, I think so too." Brian nodded slightly and expressed his conjecture, "If calculated based on the Myser core that drove the floating city during the Netheril era, I'm afraid 100 would be conservatively needed."
“Something is better than nothing.” Helist looked at Brian who frowned lightly, seeming a little distressed, and said softly in a comforting tone, “At least we know the direction of our efforts. Don't be anxious, just take your time."
Brian knew that she seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, she was most concerned about it. After all, he once learned that the world was going to be destroyed by ancient evil things. When traveling, the first thing to consider is to run away alone.
But with the help of the will of the world and the appearance of Heliste, as well as those people he cares about, he knew that he, like her, could no longer let go of that world.
The only thing that comforted him was that at least there was someone who was always accompanying him on this road of saving the world.
"Looking at your frown, you may have encountered some problem." Brian didn't want to discuss too much about ancient evil objects, so he changed the topic.
“There is a problem.” Herister told him in a calm tone:
“At the Silver Moon Council, there was an underground dwarf from the Underdark who wanted to let Silver Moon City's armed forces assisted them in rebuilding Bullingdon Stone City. However, most councilors maintained their opposition to this proposal, believing that it was impossible to hold Bullingdon Stone City. Instead of spending their energy on rebuilding, it would be better to let them rebuild. All the underground gnomes migrated to the surface. "
"They didn't think wrong." Brian nodded slightly and walked out of the temple side by side with her. "Do you sympathize with the underground gnomes, so you tried to explain it in the council. They strive for a chance to rebuild their homeland."
"That's right." Helist looked at the distant Spine Mountains, sighed, leaned towards Brian, and revealed to him. Your true inner thoughts.
"In order to help the dwarves of Mithral Hall resist the drow invasion from Menzoberranzan, the deep gnomes abandoned their isolation policy. However, that alliance was retaliated by the drow, and Bullingdon The end of Stone City has come. I have always insisted on rebuilding the homes of the underground gnomes, but most people in the council used "peace is the most important and the overall situation is the most important" as an excuse to not help these poor underground gnomes."
< br>"Peace is the most important thing and the overall situation is the most important thing. This sentence is nothing more than sacrificing the interests of the underground dwarfs and preserving the interests of the surface."
Brian smiled casually and said to her, " No matter how far civilization develops, cooperation and struggle are necessary means of survival. You must have strong hands to gain a foothold in the world."
"Since they are unwilling to save, tell those who live in Silver Moon. The underground gnomes in the city, I will help them rebuild Bullingdon Stone City." He said what he was thinking, "Tomorrow I will go to the Dark Area to prepare them."
For Bullingdon. I'm afraid no one knows the current situation in Shicheng better than him.
Moreover, this dwarf city is also one of the goals of his trip. Naturally, he will not give up the unique charged gems produced by the elemental disorder in Bullingdon Stone City.
"I will inform them." Herister glanced at Brian, thought for a moment, took his hand, and said to him in a solemn tone, "I will go with you tomorrow."
"If you're with me, I'll feel relieved." Brian patted the back of her cold hand and said to her with a smile.
After all, Helister is a psychic who has reached the level of an intermediate legend. She specializes in the six major psychic fields and has the power to fight even against high-level legends.
With this free bodyguard and thug, wouldn't his experience points be like a rocket, rushing upwards?
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Heliste's mouth, as if she had remembered something. She said to Brian in an unnatural tone, "You promised me that you would help me find my fifth personality." "
"Of course, follow me." Brian took her hand and walked in the other direction of Silver Moon City.
‘Know yourself’ is not only the motto of psychics, but also their path to great power.
However, in order to make their minds closer to perfection, some psychics will strip away some character flaws that affect their practice when making spiritual servants.
This method seems perfect, but in the end it strips away one's own personality, leaving a little bit of incompleteness.
If it is impossible to recover the character flaws that have been stripped away, it is very likely that the Psion profession will not be able to touch the legendary realm in its lifetime.
As a psychic, Heliste not only stripped off her own personality in order to practice the secret method of manifesting all energy, but she also stripped off six segments at once to create six spiritual crystal servants.
What surprised Brian was that she had four spiritual crystal servants. By some unknown method, they all broke through to the legendary realm after retrieving their stripped personalities.
In this spiritual practice of 'finding herself', she still has two parts of her personality that have not been awakened. If she can find them again, then her mind and personality will reach perfection in the true sense.
Based on what Heliste described, Brian guessed that the personality she had stripped off was related to love, so she asked him to help reawaken it.
Gradually returning to the center of the city, the buildings of the Supreme Palace were like rolling mountains in the night, spanning a large urban area.
The central area of the city is undoubtedly the most prosperous area of Silvermoon City. Brian and Helister were walking on the secluded cobblestone streets.
"Why don't you disguise yourself? I'm worried that after you are recognized, the scandal about your tryst with me will spread throughout Silvermoon City the next day." Brian stopped at the door of a manor , said to her.
“No need.” Heliste shook her head slightly and said in a slightly sad tone, “In my world, the only person I regard as the most important person is you. There is nothing left. If you want to avoid it, let them talk.”
“If it weren’t for the serious look on your face,” Brian joked, “I would have thought you were saying such disgusting words to me on purpose. .”
"I just follow my true thoughts." Herister's tone was as calm and gentle as ever, with a touch of sadness.
“After all, it was like one day, we grew up explosively, realized the truth explosively, and learned the truth explosively, turning our originally meaningless time scale into an insurmountable gap. I've passed the dividing line. Brian, I'm still worried..."
"Don't worry about anything, just be gentle with yourself." Brian interrupted her words and consoled her: "Remember. , No matter who he is, he is just a speck of dust in the universe, no different from plants, stars, or even gods. Stop thinking about it, okay?"
She nodded lightly, Showing a faint smile.
Brian took Helister to a restaurant belonging to the upper class nobles of Silvermoon City and sat down.
This is a quiet garden, with tall oak trees, magical butterflies and other beautiful magical flying insects flying among the vines and flower beds. The fragrance emitting from the flowers and plants is refreshing.
Looking around, you can see low houses hidden among the trees.
Obviously, this is a garden-style restaurant with fountains and exquisite unicorn sculptures. It is dotted with gorgeous magical neon lights. The lights radiate from the trees and flower beds, soft and blurry.
At the same time, there are singers and musicians from the Bard College of Silver Moon University performing poems praising love.
Male and female couples sat together and talked and laughed in low voices, filling the entire garden restaurant with an ambiguous atmosphere.
Heliste seemed a little restless in the soft chair and kept looking around.
Fortunately, the location of the two people was separated by a luminous green wall woven with trees and vines. Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, only some other guests could be vaguely seen, which would not let the newcomer The identity of the newly appointed Lord of Silver Moon City was recognized.
“This is the Temple of Beauty, a very famous existence in Silvermoon City.” Helist nodded thoughtfully and looked at Brian with a strange expression, “I didn’t expect you. He is actually more familiar with Silver Moon City than me."
"Of course, you have to know that I plan to build a magical floating city that is even more powerful than Silver Moon City," Brian said with a smile. It's easy to come here, so you have to observe it carefully so that you can learn from it in the future."
"It's just..." Helist said slightly hesitantly.
"Just what?" Brian asked knowingly, watching the subtle changes in her delicate face.
“I don’t like the atmosphere here very much.” Herister regained her composure and said in a calm tone, “Because the boss behind the scenes is the priest of the goddess of love.”
“If not Priest of the Goddess of Love, I won’t bring you here.” Brian patted her hand, “Relax, just treat yourself to a meal with me.”
At this moment, A female waiter wearing a dark red tight-fitting dress with a low collar revealing a large area of snow-white, smiled and served red wine, hors d'oeuvres and some soft and delicious snacks.
“Welcome to the temple of beauty.”
The waitress held the dinner plate and bowed deeply, not caring about the large spring scene leaked, "Here, you can release yourself and show beauty and love to your heart's content, because Ms. Suni, the God of Love, loves everyone in the world."< br>
After the waitress finished speaking, she glanced at Helister with disbelief, then quickly glanced at Brian, like a woman eager to gossip, and quickly backed out.
“Your identity has been revealed.” Watching the waiter leave, Brian smiled and said to Helist, “It’s not too late to pretend now.”
Helist didn’t In reply, she just looked at him with a clear look, and just as she was about to take a sip of sweet wine, her cheeks quietly turned a little bright red.
Because among the melodious songs and musical instruments in the forest, there is also a faint crackling sound that cannot be ignored, and this sound is coming from more than one place, and even from behind the tree wall next to me. There came a suppressed gasp.
Brian naturally knew what was going on. The upscale restaurant is hosting a ‘Love Feast’ event.
After all, the activities of Suni Church are very popular among the upper-class nobles. He was lucky enough to participate in them several times when he was in the game world.
However, that is not why he came here today, but to help Helist realize what love is. In this case, her success rate in regaining her personality will be much higher.
Of course, it was also a good pleasure for him to see Helist sitting across from her, showing a charming look that was in great contrast with his own personality.
"Brian, I feel that a priest whose strength has reached the legendary realm is coming towards us." A hint of panic appeared in Herister's quiet eyes, she put down the small fork in her hand and said to Brian, "We It’s better to leave here as soon as possible.”
“You’re here, just stay here.”
Brian took her hand and asked her to sit back, “You’re not. You said you want me to help you find your fifth personality? This is my way. By leaving, wouldn’t you be betraying my good intentions?”
Herister looked at Brian suspiciously. After one glance, he suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart and sat back down again, regaining his cool demeanor in front of outsiders.
At the same time, an aristocratic woman wearing a crimson revealing priest's robe appeared in front of the two of them. She seemed to ignore Helister's presence and invited Brian with a smile, "This is Sir, could you please dance with me? ”
Obviously, this is the priest whose strength has reached the legendary realm that Helist just mentioned.
She looks about thirty years old, with smooth and fair skin. Her long burgundy hair is spread behind her head and tied with a dark red ribbon.
Her dark red priest's robe tightly wrapped her exquisite figure, and her slender waist was tied with a gold belt with delicate rose-shaped buckles.
After saying that, under Helister’s cold eyes, she sat down next to Brian unceremoniously, crossing her slender and beautiful legs.
Her crimson skirt has a side slit popular among aristocrats, but the popular style is slit to the thighs, but this priestess's skirt is slit all the way to her pretty buttocks.
The most important thing is that the female pastor didn't care at all about Brian's gaze on her. Instead, she deliberately straightened her chest and lifted her slit skirt, making the curves of her delicate body even more exaggerated.
This is a female priest whose strength has reached the level of legend. Brian naturally does not dare to be careless.
"I'm sorry, madam, I have my own female companion."
Smelling the alluring fragrance of roses, he withdrew his gaze, moved his body, kept a certain distance from her, and calmly Said, "You know, it is very rude to leave your female partner to dance with other women."
Heriset was inexplicably relieved after hearing this, and looked at Brian calmly There was something strange in his heart.
The female pastor covered her mouth and smiled, shaking her long burgundy hair, her earrings shaking and jingling, "No, no, no, sir, I think you misunderstood."
When she spoke, she was always Never glanced at Helister.
“Sunny is philanthropic, so her believers should also try to love more people, or try to show their attraction to as many people as possible, so that more people can fall in love with them. Myself."
There was a charming sound in the female priest's clear laughter, "Sunny does not refuse to accept a man's in-depth communication with many women at her banquet."
There was an obvious hint in her words. Even though Brian was mentally prepared in advance, his heartbeat could not help but speed up a lot.
Helist finally couldn't stand it anymore.
She stood up and said in a cold tone, "We are just here to dine and have no intention of intruding on your dinner party. We are very sorry and we will leave now."
Brian quickly cooperated. Her words, walking to her side, ready to leave together.
Seeing Brian who was not affected at all, Helist glanced at the surprised female priest, and a faint smile appeared on her lips involuntarily.
“Sunny said, love is not exclusive!”
The two were about to leave, but the female pastor came over reluctantly, smiled coquettishly, took Brian's arm, and breathed softly into his ear.
"Come on, don't suppress your nature, release your inner passion and fiery love, you will be satisfied at Ms. Suni's 'Love Feast'."
"We said, get out of here!" Looking at the entangled female priest, Herister's expression turned cold, her long silvery hair automatically raised, and her spiritual aura suddenly opened.
The female priest who was caught off guard let out a groan, and a touch of paleness appeared on her bright and charming face. Her graceful body was suddenly bounced away by the aura, and she took five or six steps back, almost sitting on the ground. .
Then, Heliste took Brian’s hand expressionlessly and quickly left the restaurant.
After walking out of the manor, Brian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if Heliste hadn’t stopped him in time, he wouldn’t have had the confidence to withstand the legendary level of magic.
“Don’t go to this kind of place again.” Herister regained her previous calmness and said to Brian, “I’m worried that you won’t be able to withstand the temptation and will eventually indulge in it.”
< br>"You underestimate my determination too much." Brian walked to her side, looked at the rich changes in her expression, and said with a smile, "Or, the behavior of the female pastor made you feel very uncomfortable. . ”
He suddenly realized that the appearance of the female priest was a divine assist for him.
"It's a little uncomfortable." Heliste thought seriously for a moment, brushed her hair that had been messed up by the sudden expansion of her psychic aura, and expressed her conclusion.
Looking at her serious look, Brian shrugged, finally knowing that this task might not be as simple as imagined.
"Uncle, do you want to buy a flower for your sister?" The two were about to leave when a crisp voice came from behind.
When he heard that the other party called him uncle, but called sister Helister, Brian was immediately unhappy.
He turned around and walked up to the little girl buying flowers, smiled at her and said, "Kid, do I look that old? Call me brother and I will buy your flowers."
"Okay, brother who looks like an uncle, buy a flower for your girlfriend." The little girl winked at him mischievously and said with a smile.
"..."
Brian glanced at her speechlessly, knowing that she was deliberately teasing him, and said: "Okay, how much does it cost for one flower, give me a few. "
"Twenty thousand gold coins per flower, can you afford it for my brother who looks like an uncle?" The little girl opened her innocent eyes and quoted the price innocently.
“Can’t afford it.” Brian stood up, too lazy to pay attention to this gibbering child.
Helist, who was watching from the sidelines, swept her clear eyes between the two of them, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"Uncle, if you can't afford it, don't pick up girls. It's a waste of everyone's time." The little girl shouted to Brian in a clear voice.
Brian's expression suddenly paused. He always felt that this sentence sounded so familiar. He subconsciously glanced at Helister beside him and found that she was looking at the little girl inexplicably.
Seeing this, he suddenly realized, and then walked to her side and said angrily, "Who said I can't afford it? I want all these flowers."
said After that, he grabbed the little girl's flower basket and reached out to knock her on the head deliberately.
As for the money, he had no intention of paying it.
"Ms. Veramalandes, Silver Moon Dragon Queen, I didn't expect that we could meet on such an occasion." Brian glanced at a few flowers in the flower basket and said to the little girl.
Ms. Veramalandis, the Silver Moon Dragon Queen, is a golden dragon whose strength has reached ancient times. She likes to transform into little girls in various forms and visit the cities in her territory privately.
When she is pretending, she will feel like she is on vacation. Although she will always stick to her goals, she will also observe the specific situation and make appropriate judgments.
If necessary, she will even act in a character completely deviating from her natural nature.
Brian once witnessed with his own eyes that a gangster in Neverwinter was wiped out by a newly joined little girl, leaving not a single coin behind.
This made Brian wonder if Silver Wing was an ancient silver dragon with a lolita control.
Hearing this, the girl opened her mouth wide enough to put an egg in. She looked at Brian in surprise, "How did you recognize me?"
Hurry on the side Sette also looked at him in surprise.
“Of course it was your little Yinzi who told me.” Brian put the silver wings on the fire rack without ceremony and said with a smile:
"He said that his little Jin likes to turn into a pure and innocent little girl and visit his territory. He told me to be careful when I come to Silver Moon City."
"How dare he betray me? I'll take care of him later." The Silver Moon Dragon Queen, who turned into a little girl, clenched her fists and said angrily.
Then, she stretched out her white little hand and waved it gently.
A golden light flashed.
Brian discovered that the roses in the basket had turned into five brilliant golden dragon scales.
He looked at the other person doubtfully.
"My little silver has told me everything about you." The little girl said, "I hope you will not forget your promise. This can be regarded as a meeting gift for you."
Bu Ryan naturally knew what the other party was referring to. He accepted the scales and nodded solemnly.
Then, the little girl ran to Heliste again, took her hand, and said in a sweet tone: "Sister Heliste, Silver Moon City is temporarily handed over to me. I will give it to you. Take a half-month vacation and spend time with your lover.”
After saying that, she deliberately winked at Brian, as if to say: This is all I can help you with, and the rest. It's up to you.
Watching the naughty Silver Moon Dragon Queen leave with cheerful steps, Brian suddenly understood that this seemingly absurd ancient golden dragon was probably smarter than any living human being.
"Let's go." Helist walked to him, a strange look appeared in her beautiful eyes, and said to him in a soft tone, "Tomorrow I will accompany you to the Dark Territory. Then I will go back to Mokou Town with you."
Brian nodded slightly and walked towards the Supreme Palace with her.
