Chapter 206: Felin Demon Kui
Eno Oak Desert, somewhere deep in the ancient underground ruins.
The silver-white magical light curtain that stretched across the void, as if extending from the material world to the endless planes, suddenly became flickering and flickering.
When the silver-white light suddenly dimmed, a huge crack appeared on the light screen, the cold wind howled, and black shadows flashed out from time to time.
Until the light curtain suddenly burst out with terrifying energy, the flickering black shadows roared unwillingly again, as if their necks were suddenly strangled, and they stopped.
"Hiss, hiss... I didn't expect that I, Tukat, will still have a day to escape... hiss, hiss..."
"I, Tukale, are back again!"
"Say It’s as if I haven’t come back...hiss..."
Accompanied by the strange sound of wind whistling out, three hideous and terrifying figures appeared in the rolling black air.
A burst of magical light lit up, and the ferocious figure revealed its original appearance.
They have thick tree-rooted bodies, with a big head and a small tail, like a trumpet with an upward opening. The disc-shaped head is inlaid with a chrysanthemum-shaped stomach pouch full of sharp teeth. The disc-shaped head is surrounded by four curved tubes. On his arm, the tip of the tail comes out, and there is a sharp and deadly spike.
"Three Demon Kui elders?"
Hajhorna, the Hand of the Supreme King, who was shrouded in black robes, stood on the spot with a black staff, coldly Watching everything.
His thumb rubbed back and forth on the staff from time to time, and traces of dark black energy overflowed from the cracks at the top of the staff, shrouding him in a black mist.
From these three huge black shadows cast down from the Saron Forbidden Wall that sealed the Phaerin Demon Kui, and from the twisted Phae Lin Demon Kui, he even smelled something higher than his own strength. Coercion.
This is a danger that only High King Telamant Tanshur can perceive.
In other words, the three Mo Kui elders he released were one of them whose strength has reached a high level legend!
Elder Mokui are the old-age Mokui. Their bodies are at least 20 feet tall. Even if they do not study or study, they can naturally possess the abilities of warlocks above the legendary realm.
One of the three phaerimms that appeared in front of him was a full 30 feet tall and was already an example of a high-level legend.
"Tukat, Tukarn, Tukalai? I seem to have heard of these three names before the Netheril Empire was destroyed." Hajhorna murmured to himself, his cold expression changing. indefinite.
Netheril Calendar 427DR, the year when the storm broke out.
The spells of Ferrin Demon Kwai shot down the floating cities Lauda Tis and Tyran Drossel, and other floating cities deployed spell barriers to resist this attack.
Hajhorna recalled that during the Netheril Empire, the two floating cities that were first shot down by the Phaelim Demon Sunflowers were the three elders of the Phae Lin Demon Sunflowers in front of them.
“The remnants of Netheril!”
Tukat, one of the largest elders of the magic sunflower, used his own will to capture Hajhorna, and waved in a cold tone, He mocked: "Since I, Tukat, have returned, this land should be dominated by our Mo Kui clan!"
"It seems that you haven't realized your status yet." A cold smile appeared on the corner of Hajerhorna's lips.
“Bang!”
His staff suddenly hit the ground and cast a space blocking spell prepared in advance.
Suddenly, the entire underground ruins space seemed to have stopped for a moment, and an invisible ripple like ripples floated across the void.
“Don’t forget what you promised me.” Hajihorna looked at the panicked Mo Kui, who was shaking his head and tail, hissing and roaring, and threatened coldly: “I can release you, naturally. You can be imprisoned again or even killed on the spot.”
Although one of the three demon elders is a high-level legend, and the other two are at least medium-level legends, they have been sealed by the Saren spirits for thousands of years, and have lost the magic energy they depend on for survival, and their strength has seriously declined. , can't make any trouble at all in front of him.
In fact, the appearance of the Felin Demon Sunflower has already received great attention from the High King.
After all, the Netheril Empire and the Demon Kui clan are sworn enemies with no room for relief. The first major thing planned by Shade City when it returns to the main material world is to completely eliminate the Demon Kui and create a better environment for the destroyed empire. revenge.
Other plans, such as restoring the former empire's territory, managing the desert, and even dealing with surrounding enemies, all come last.
The fundamental reason why he took such a big risk to release the Elder Mo Kui from the legendary realm was because he was secretly instructed by the Supreme King Telemante.
Because when they learned that there were cracks in the Saron Wall that sealed the phaerimms, and a few weaker phaerinns had escaped, they realized that it was very possible that the Saron Wall that was difficult to permanently repair was As time went by, the cracks grew larger and larger, eventually allowing all the phaerim to escape and once again threaten the empire's territory.
High King Telamante thought of a way to solve the problem once and for all.
That is to find a way to enter the interior of the Forbidden Wall of Saron and find the memory tower that the Felin Demon Kui regards as a holy place and tomb, and calls it the 'Mother's Nest'.
Only by finding the Memory Tower and destroying it can the Felin Demon Sunflower be completely exterminated.
Because the Memory Tower is similar to the source of power that the Felin Demon Sunflower absorbs life and magic, it is as important as the wizard's reliance on the Magic Network.
The Felin magic sun without the memory tower is the same as the spellcaster who has lost the magic net.
However, it is extremely difficult to enter the interior of the Forbidden Wall of Saron. It is even more difficult to destroy the sealed Felin Demon Kui and destroy the Memory Tower in the dead demon area where spells cannot be cast.
So, High King Telamant asked him to secretly release three powerful elders of the Demon Sun while temporarily repairing the Forbidden Wall of Saron.
The three Mo Kui elders will definitely try their best to break through the Salon Barrier to help their people escape from trouble and realize their ambition to rule the world.
In this case, they can secretly observe their every move through the marks left in the body of the elders of Mo Kui, find a way to enter the Forbidden Wall of Saron, and find what they regard as the 'mother nest' 'The memory tower.
"Did you understand what I said, you bastards!" Haji Horner shouted coldly at the three elders of the magic sunflower.
“You are cruel!”
Tukat, the elder of the Demon Kui, sent a vicious wave to him, “At the peak of the Netheril Empire, you were no match for us, let alone They are a bunch of homeless dogs that are living on their own. You will regret the decision you made today for the rest of your life!"
"I look forward to that day."
Hajhorna's words are as cold as ice. "I also hope that you can turn over, but now, I have set restrictions in your bodies, you bastards, so you must obey my orders. Get out! I don't want to see your chrysanthemum-like heads dangling in front of me. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his staff violently, and the three elders of the magic sun screamed and were forcibly expelled by the energy vortex generated by the teleportation spell.
Hajhorna quickly recited a spell and disappeared on the spot.
A dark corner deep in the underground ruins of the Enook Desert where the wild sand is flying.
"What should we do?"
The elder Tukarn of the Demon Kui said to Tukat, "Our bodies have been restricted by these damn descendants of Netherese. We want to If you want to survive, you have to follow their instructions."
"What else can we do? The most important thing now is to absorb magic power and restore our strength." Tukat, the elder of the Demon Kui, sneered while swinging his sharp tail, "They think they can completely control us by setting up a ban. It’s too naive.”
“Yes, as long as our strength returns to its peak, we find a way to reopen the Saron Forbidden Wall and return to the Mother Nest, these so-called restrictions will be broken.” Tukalai, the elder of the other magic sunflower, said.
"Then how can we quickly regain our strength now?"
"I have just observed the entire Kingdom of Cormyr through magic."
The leader of the Demon Kui Elder Tu Carter said: "Although I resent being temporarily controlled by the descendants of Netheril, I have to admit that assisting this group of homeless dogs to deal with the Kingdom of Cormyr is indeed the fastest way for us to regain our strength at the moment."
He calmly analyzed the two elders of the Demon Kui, "In the Kingdom of Cormyr, there are two mage towers with the highest level. You two transformed into human forms and lurked under the mage towers in Arabe City and Susar City. Deep inside, while absorbing the magical energy of the mage tower, he injects his own eggs into the bodies of civilians to reproduce and increase our power."
"What about you?" "Me?" Elder Mo Kui sneered:
"Of course I will go to Mokou Town. Although the mage tower there has not yet been formed, deep underground in this town is the leyline of the entire Eno Oak Desert. A place where energy gathers. Just give me half a year and my strength will be back to its peak. At that time, I will find a way to avoid the Nese people's detection, re-enter the Saron Forbidden Wall, and go to our 'Mother's Nest'. Find a way to lift the ban."
"The ignorant Netherese."
A flash of magic light flashed, and Mo Kui elder Tukat transformed into a black-robed mage with an old face.
“Do they really think that we have been imprisoned by the Sarran spirits for thousands of years and are just sleeping. In fact, we are always thinking about how to break through the forbidden wall, and we have also thought of many breakthroughs The only thing lacking in the method of breaking through the forbidden wall is how to obtain the materials used to break through the forbidden wall in the material world. Now our opportunity has come! "
The Ghost City of Sultanza.
Hajhorna entered a deep secret passage from his mage tower.
At the end of the secret passage is a small laboratory. Apart from scattered items, the most conspicuous thing is an obsidian platform with a network of purple crystal balls arranged on it.
The platform is very simple, full of traces of time, and carved with complex magic lines.
At this time, the owner of the mage tower had his right palm close to the crystal ball, and purple energy visible to the naked eye was pouring in from Hajhorna's left arm.
For a moment, the network-like purple crystal ball emitted light, and a voice with a hint of anger came, "Hajer Horner, you still know how to contact me."
"You "Okay, Lord Severin, the 'Dragon Whisperer' of the Dragon Worship Cult." Hajhorna heard the evil in the other party's words and greeted him symbolically.
“I’m not okay at all.”
The communication stone shimmered, "Although we are not allies, it would be too despicable for you people from Ghost City to backstab your partners."
Haji Horner slightly He was startled, obviously he didn't know the whole story.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." He suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone.
In fact, he also had a lot of anger hidden in his heart.
When the Yinhun City army fought against Mokou Town, the Dragon Worship Cult promised him two supporting troops, but in the end only one Dracolich appeared.
The army of mature black dragons and lizardmen from the swamps of the distant sea, which could determine the outcome, did not appear, causing him to completely lose the ability to turn the tide of the war.
"Your little prince Brenas of the Ghost City not only killed my Dracolich, but also took away the treasure I had planned for a long time." The other side of the communication stone took a deep breath, "This is your Ghost The city's hospitality."
"I don't know anything about this."
Hajhorna was slightly startled and said slowly, "Besides, little prince Brenner. Si is a dossier scholar, and exploring ruins is his hobby, and I have no right to instruct him."
"So I deserve to be unlucky, right?"
"That's not what I meant." Hajhorna tried to comfort him, "I just wanted to say that this was a misunderstanding."
"I don't want to talk nonsense to you. If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it." He He added: "We can discuss it."
With the help of the three magic sunflower elders, he is confident in taking over the entire Kingdom of Cormyr.
But after the lesson of underestimating the enemy last time, he knew that he had to be careful and win over as many allies as possible.
With Elder Mo Kui's magic absorption, he can definitely take down the mage tower in Arabe City together with Severin of the Dragon Cult.
As for Mokou Town, he didn't pay attention at all.
Although he has learned that the mage lord is building his own wizard tower, it is not a threat at all to him.
As long as he solves the female lord of Arabe City, the other party's fate will be at his mercy.
"I know what you want me to do for you." The communication stone shimmered again.
“It’s nothing more than asking me to use the dragon controlled by Dragon Madness to help you deal with the Kingdom of Cormyr. I can help you with this and even invite friends from the Red Robe Wizards to assist you. Take Cormier, but I’m curious what conditions you can offer that would make me excited.”
"And..." The messenger stone obviously hesitated, and finally said: "I need to warn you, I witnessed the entire process of establishing the wizard tower in Mokou Town."
"So what? "
Hajhorna said disdainfully, "Although this mage lord has a close relationship with the Silver Moon City Lord in the North, as long as the Silver Moon City Lord dares to leave the North, believe me, the Prince of Shadows is in charge of the North. He will definitely be happy to drag the goblins to dance hula together.”
Among the twelve ghost princes, there is no one more fearful to him than Melagonte, and there is no one more fearful than Coraribona. A more despicable and shameless Shadow Guard assassin.
"It is true that the ignorant are fearless." A mocking smile emitted from the light of the communication stone.
"You descendants of Nese hiding in the shadow plane have no idea that when the Mystery Barrier in Silvermoon City was first built, the God of the Earth Element also sent a prince under his command to gather leyline nodes for this city. , do you know what this means? Don't tell me, you still don't know."
Hajhorna was silent for a long time, and said to the message stone in a slightly solemn tone, "I understand, I do. I will re-examine and observe the changes in the Wizard Tower in Mokou Town."
"Since you are so honest, I will tell you my conditions directly." He thought for a moment and then said:
" There is a mountain range of Novolaron in the highest glacier melted by the High King, where a lost elven city is hidden 25,000 years ago. The original dragon madness was created by the elves of this city and rose from this city. , the elves cooperated with the appearance of the King Killer to activate the Mystery Lock, causing all dragons, including many ancient dragons, to fall into unconscious destruction and destruction, and kill each other. In the end, the elven civilization reached its peak in the world of Toril. "
“As long as you are willing to help me take over the Kingdom of Cormyr, I will go with you to this lost elf city to find the original secret of the Dragon Madness Lock.”
There was a long silence from the communication stone.
Hajhorna waited patiently for his answer, knowing that the other party would never reject him.
"I promise to help you deal with Cormyr." The communication stone shimmered.
“But I need to change the conditions. I am willing to fully help you deal with the Kingdom of Cormyr. No matter what the final result is, or whether you can win it, you need to take me to find the lost city.”
"Are you worried that I will fail?" Haji Horner sneered.
"I just left a note for myself to retreat. After all..." Before he could finish speaking, the light of the communication stone dimmed. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
“Yes!”
Hajhorna said calmly, “However, I also need to change the conditions. Before going to the Supreme Glacier, I need you to go to Miszhuo with me. "Promise a trip."
He has never forgotten that there is probably a complete Nese scroll hidden in the ruins of this elven city.
“Deal!” The communication stone flashed again.
"In three months, my Dragon Madness Mystery Lock will be completed. At that time, I will sign a cooperation contract with you and send dragons to assist you in launching a full-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Cormyr."
"Don't do it again. Trying to find my location, after all, my patience is limited."
As soon as he finished speaking, the purple crystal ball exploded, and the sound echoed throughout the laboratory.
Hajhorna screamed in pain and looked at his bloody palm that was pricked by fragments, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
