Chapter 265 The correct way to open the silver fire
The two maids were busy, their skirts rustling, and various tableware were placed on the table.
Storm Silverhand, leader of the Harpers, gracefully conjured a flame with his thumb and forefinger, lighting the candle on the candlestick.
Sandy, a drow girl sitting next to Brian, put her hand on her chin, tilted her head, and stared at him with a smile in her blue eyes.
Brian's attention fell on a palm-sized magic quiver hanging on Santi's slender waist.
Based on his keen sense of magic, he judged with just his naked eyes that this was a magic quiver of legendary quality.
He kept this in mind and planned to ask her the specific reason after dinner.
In his impression, Santila was a wizard, a profession that had not changed until he met her in Waterdeep City in the game world.
However, the current girl, as can be seen from the equipment she carries and her behavior, actually works part-time as a ranger.
Brian vaguely remembers that Santila left the ancient city of Orens during the demon lords' rebellion in the Underdark, and had never received the love of Qilashar Rose and Spider Queen Rose. .
Now, under his influence, substantial changes have taken place.
Not only did she leave the Dark Territory early, she also awakened part of her past life abilities, allowing her strength to reach the legendary realm early.
This speed of level improvement is simply faster than riding a rocket, leaving Brian with an upgrade system beyond his reach.
The dinner took place in silence.
Santilla reached for all kinds of food unceremoniously, and the times were very frequent. Before the host could say anything, she took the glass bottle of red wine, poured the wine for herself, and poured the wine for herself and the cloth beside her. Ryan filled the bowl.
The Leader of the Harpers, who was sitting opposite, seemed to be eating and drinking in a more orderly and restrained manner.
But with Brian's keen perception, he could faintly feel that the eyes of the chosen one of the Magic Goddess were locked on him from beginning to end.
This kind of look is very strange. It seems to be examining and observing, but also has an inexplicable feeling. It is very different from Santila's look of a little girl.
In this case, while he was eating his dinner in small bites, he put most of his energy into arranging the dishes, cutlery and napkins symmetrically.
Suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, he found that the placement of these things was still not neat enough, which slightly damaged his sense of organization and aesthetics.
Of course, he drinks very moderately and looks like an aristocrat with perfect etiquette.
This is why he doesn't like to attend banquets or be guests.
He is a free-spirited person. Although in the small world where he was born, due to his special status, he has learned many aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, but there are only a handful of places where he can use them.
At this moment, as a guest in the Misty Valley, his identity as Lord Protector of Cormyr represents the face of the entire kingdom.
No matter how many disasters Cormyr has encountered, no one dares to deny that this kingdom is one of the few powerful and kind countries on the mainland.
Therefore, in this case, even though there were only two people at the table, the Harper leader and Santila, who didn't know much about the rules, he still meticulously completed the etiquette he should have.
The gold and red candles kept swaying, and the raindrops tinkled on the stained window glass.
"Ms. Storm." Brian was the first to break the silence, while using a fork to look for meat of moderate fatness and leanness on the dinner plate.
“What do you think of the actions in Shade City? Our Queen Regent sent me here to understand your point of view. Of course, I am also very interested. I hope that Vale, Cormanthor and Cormyr are here. If we take action, we also hope that everyone will act in unison. "
As a time traveler, he knows very well that the next target of Haunted City is absolutely. It's the city of Tifanton in Cormyr.
Although the Shar Church hidden in Tifantun has been removed in advance with his help, this does not mean that there will not be a second or third Shar Church.
Moreover, the Misty Valley is adjacent to Tiffanydon. If the Misty Valley is occupied by the Shadowmen, Tiffanyton will undoubtedly be the next one to suffer.
"In this matter, the Lord Protector of Cormyr actually followed my lead." Ms. Storm put down the knife and fork in her hand and showed a soft smile, "I am really flattered."
< br>"If Ms. Storm has any good opinions, I will naturally listen to them." Brian nodded calmly and expressed his gratitude to the drow girl who brought him food, "Because I hope everyone can speak out their opinions in advance. The idea is convenient for reference and decision-making, so I want to hear your opinion.”
If we investigate it seriously, Cormyr’s military power is undoubtedly the most powerful among the three forces. What it lacks is strength. A powerful legendary professional.
"I am honest with you, young Lord Protector." A trace of worry appeared on Ms. Storm's beautiful face, and she said truthfully:
"I am worried about how to deal with the attack of Ghost City, and so are you. I see, just the refugees infected by the death plague have already made me anxious and helpless. So, I decided to listen to your opinion first. What do you think?"
"Does this need to be said? Teacher Storm." Santila put down the wine glass and continued: "In this situation, it is definitely the safest way to listen to Brian's opinion. He not only smashed the plan of Ghost City to invade Cormyr, but also led the temporary integration. The army defeated the orcs in the Stormhorn Mountains. He is simply the most perfect commander in my mind..."
Brian coughed dryly, interrupting the praise of the little girl beside him.
"I have a good idea here." He met the expectant gaze of the lady opposite and said, "But I want to understand the current situation in detail first."
As the leader of the Harper Alliance, she definitely has a lot of detailed information about the enemy.
"This is my duty, sir." The Harper leader smiled slightly and told him: "First, I will tell you about the Kingdom of Sambia."
" With the destruction of the capital Odulin in the Kingdom of Sambia, the king was assassinated by the Shadow Guard assassins. In order to deal with the growing threat of civil war across Sambia, in the city of Sergante, Mira, the female commander temporarily elected by the parliament, Beta and Ghost City formed a military alliance. The army of Serron City to the west of Sergant City, with the support of the green dragon Von Dyneharan and the summoned water element army, broke through the city wall of Sergant, but Sergant With the help of two ghost princes and the timely appearance of the floating city of Sacros, Ergant's army defeated this army. The green dragon was defeated and killed, and all the water elements summoned by the army were destroyed and captured."
< br> "In other words, after this battle, the female commander Mirabetta, with the help of the City of Shadows, completely stabilized the situation in Sambia." Brian frowned slightly and said.
"That's exactly it." Storm said with a little helplessness, "The female commander who is allied with the City of Shadows is dedicating all the efforts of the country to support the improvement of the floating city of Sacros."
"Is there any important news about the elves in Cormanthor?" Brian continued to ask.
"Silinxi has returned to Cormanthor. She found the defeated Elf Expeditionary Force and delivered the Blade of Dominion to the expeditionary force's commander Ilseveri." Storm thought for a moment and said to him Said, "Ilsevri accepted the Blade of Dominion and received the title of Crowned One, and she swore an oath to regain Myth Drannor. Queen Amlarion from Evermeet came to Cormanthor in person to fight for Myth Drannor. She added reinforcements, congratulated the new crown bearer, and brought a seed of the artifact Soul Tree as a gift to her."
Hearing this news, Brian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Silinxi is also a chosen one by the Goddess of Magic, and is the legendary mage with the highest magical attainments so far. Under the leadership of Silinxi, the Elf Expeditionary Army destroyed the army headed by the Zhentarim and the Dark Elves. It's just a matter of time.
In this case, he does not have to worry about the intervention of other forces and can deal with the City of Shadows with peace of mind.
"How many helpers and reinforcements do you have here?" Brian asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.
"Silver Moon City sent a group of Silver Knights, and the rangers from the North and the Silver Moon Walkers of the Moon Goddess are also on their way." Storm glanced at Brian, considered it for a moment, and finally decided He said, "Xinbu will arrive in the next few days."
Hearing this, Brian finally felt relieved.
Because these messages are not irreversibly different from the original timeline.
In this case, he can try to implement the plan to deal with the City of Shadows.
"I thought of a way to crash the floating city of Sacros." He thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.
Hearing this, Santila and the Harper leader both looked at him in disbelief.
"There are four ghost princes guarding the city of Sacros. They are Revalan, Yada, Martik and Lamolek." Storm couldn't help but look at Brian worriedly, "As far as I know I know that two wizard towers from the Ghost City have successfully moved to Sacross. Are you really sure?"
"Yes, but not completely sure." Brian shook his head slightly and said calmly. Tone, he said to her truthfully:
"However, I think this plan is worth trying, and it is also the fastest known method to solve the threat of Ghost City. Otherwise, with only the army of the Valley and Cormyr, It is impossible to resist the counterattack of the Sembian coalition forces and the Haunted Mage. Moreover, when I arrived in the Misty Valley, I had seen more and more Sambians infected with the death plague. If you launch a massive attack, you will be eaten alive. Am I wrong?”
"You are right, young Mr. Mage." Storm sighed helplessly and showed him a soft smile, "Then can you tell me how to destroy Sacros's plan? If there is really a chance, we will I will fully support your actions."
"Of course I will tell you my plan." Seeing the other party nodding in agreement, Brian reminded:
"But. , I think you should also understand another purpose of my coming here, so before telling me about my plan this time, I want to use the energy of Silver Fire to let my strength step into the legendary realm. Only in this way, the next plan Only in this way can we proceed more completely.”
Silver fire is a supernatural ability unique to the chosen ones of the goddess of magic, and represents the essence of the magic network.
In addition to its many properties such as underwater breathing, immunity to spells, and maintenance of body functions, it can also dispel all anti-magic fields within the range, repair dead magic areas, and cause effects similar to advanced dispelling magic. power.
The goddess of magic claims that the energy of the silver fire can help him perfectly integrate the arcane fire and the arcane source, making his legendary field more perfect.
"I have received the oracle from the goddess, and I will naturally go all out to help you." Storm stared at Brian's face, and a fleeting blush appeared on his face unconsciously. "I'll go back and get ready. I'll go to your room later to fulfill my promise." After saying this, she lifted up her skirt and left the restaurant, leaving Brian and Santila behind.
“Go for a walk?” Seeing the leader of the Harpers leaving, Brian looked at the drow girl beside him.
Santira smiled happily, took his arm, and left the room together.
Misty Valley is a vast valley with rolling hills dotted with many small settlements. Except in the early morning and evening, mist rises from the river and covers the entire valley.
Through the light mist, you can see that the night sky seems to be coated with a layer of thick ink, with only a few scattered stars dotting it.
“I don’t know why, but I often dream of a long bow surrounded by stars when I’m sleeping.” Santila sat on the eaves, leaning on Brian’s arms, “ I could still clearly feel that this bow seemed to be hidden in Misthrono, so I came to the Misty Valley."
"A long bow surrounded by stars?" Brian looked confused.
In his impression, he had never heard of such equipment.
At this moment, he has confirmed that Santila is the reincarnation of the dark girl Eilistraee.
But the dark girl’s weapon is a long sword, not a long bow.
Could it be that...
Recalling the reason for Eilistraee's fall, Brian suddenly realized the reason.
It is said that Eilistraee's bow skills far surpassed her sword skills. The main reason why she was unwilling to use it was because she once almost killed her father, the Elf Lord Ke, with an arrow due to the trick of the Spider Queen Rose. Rylon Larrisian.
Therefore, she sealed her weapons and swore an oath never to use ranged weapons.
Brian guessed that it was probably her rebirth, which meant that Eilistraee in the past had long since died, and the oath naturally dissipated with the wind, so the reincarnated dark girl began to pay attention to her bow and arrow skills. .
"Okay, Brian, I won't talk to you anymore." Santila stood up, and his clear voice finished his thoughts.
Brian stood up and was about to reply when the drow girl suddenly put her arms around his neck, tapped his cheek lightly, then leaned into his ear and whispered, "Brian, wait until I get back. Take a shower, and I’ll go to the room to find you.”
After that, the drow girl disappeared into the night like a cheerful little crow.
Brian laughed and watched the other party leave.
He naturally understood the true meaning of the other party's last sentence, and he had no reason to refuse such a good thing to relax his mood.
Then, he jumped down from the eaves and walked towards the room prepared for himself by the Knight of Misty Valley.
In the room, Brian was sitting at a desk, holding a quill and drawing a topographic map of the floating city of Sacros on a parchment scroll.
The leader of the Harpers, Storm Silverhand, stood quietly by the side, waiting patiently.
"This is the detailed map of Sacros." He handed the parchment scroll to Storm and glanced at the candle that was about to burn out. "That's it for today. As for how to implement the next plan, wait until all your reinforcements arrive. , I will explain in detail and arrange tasks for them respectively."
"Okay." Feng Feng lowered her head and saluted, and when she was about to leave, she slowed down unknowingly, and then a trace of light appeared on her face. Blushing, she quietly closed the door.
After hearing the door closing, Brian wanted to get up and move around, but when he raised his head, he found that the other party was still at the door, "Is there anything else?"
"Brian..." Feng Feng hesitated for a moment, "Aren't you curious about how the energy of the Silver Fire can help you."
After saying this, her pretty face belonging to a mature and charming woman became more rosy, and her nostrils spread slightly with excitement. With.
"That's right." Brian nodded, put down the quill in his hand, raised the cup and took a sip of water.
Originally, he planned to let the other party use the energy of the Silver Fire to help him. Who would have thought that the Harper leader said that he was not ready yet and would need to do it tomorrow.
Thinking that the people who came to the Misty Valley for support would arrive in two or three days, he didn't say much.
"It's actually very simple, as long as you are willing to accept my service." She stretched out her hand, and the silver-white light emitted by the silver fire filled the entire room, illuminating her blushing face. Clearly.
Delicate and charming.
"Pfft!"
Hearing this, Brian almost spit out the water in his mouth, "Uh, why is this? Isn't there any other way?"
At this time At this moment, if he still couldn't understand what was going on, he would have lived so long in vain.
"I..." Feng Feng opened his mouth, but failed to answer.
Brian looked at Storm, who was standing there hesitating, and said with an indifferent smile: "Since there is no other way, this is the only way."
The chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic, the Seven Sisters of the North, have outstanding abilities and are superior to ordinary people in everything from appearance to body.
If placed in modern society, he would definitely be the center of attention, a frequent guest in some action movies and an enlightenment teacher for passionate young people.
So, this kind of thing that you don’t have to waste your emotions on, you don’t have to be responsible for picking up your pants, and you just bring it to your mouth, why should you hesitate?
Moreover, this is also related to whether he can successfully advance to the legendary realm.
Hearing Brian nod in agreement, Storm beside him breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled coquettishly and looked at him with interest.
"...Why do you look so reluctant?"
She said as she slowly came closer.
Being looked at unscrupulously, Brian suddenly felt hairy all over his body, as if he was a frog being targeted by a snake.
This made him subconsciously doubt whether the other party did it on purpose.
Then, Brian saw the tall and fit leader of the Harper Alliance, a beautiful woman who looked like a mature secretary. He smiled charmingly and began to unbutton his clothes.
"Then, on behalf of my sisters, please allow me to thank the Lord Protector of Cormyr for his candor and subsequent help to us."
Without any room for concession, Storm stared seriously Brian, but didn't know why, unknowingly grabbed Brian's wrist and slowly pulled his palm to her slightly open area.
Brian's hand suddenly retracted as if he was electrocuted.
Seeing the other party being so proactive and active, he was really shocked. It was hard to imagine that this was a gentle, kind and respected Harper leader in the world's impression.
Although he sometimes jokes in his mind that the waistbands of the voters of the Goddess of Magic are very loose, saying that they are like lustful men. When they see someone they like, they will find a way to take them back to the room and be happy. A night of relaxation.
But when this kind of thing really happened to him, he suddenly became a little overwhelmed. It was even difficult to maintain the calmness and calmness he always maintained in the past.
It made him secretly wonder if he had been under some kind of charm spell, but his sober mind told him that there was nothing wrong at all.
This made him seriously doubt whether these voters were born with charming characteristics, or whether their own charming attributes were ridiculously high.
At this moment, Brian could only think silently in his heart that if he drifted, he would still be in vain. Quan thought that he would spend money to relax in hotels with special services just like before.
At this moment, Brian suddenly thought that Santila would probably come to him to do the same thing later. If he was hit, wouldn't it be...
Brian subconsciously looked into Shang Storm's eyes, and he saw lightning pouring out of her eyes and reaching his own.
The white flames emitted by the silver fire suspended in mid-air suddenly burned violently around him, as if they were going to turn him into ashes.
A wave of pain surged through the body like a sharp sword piercing it.
Brian wanted to tremble in pain, but he found that he could no longer breathe, and was torn apart and pulled by the rising flames...
In this case, he could only He can use his own arcane fire to resist this kind of pain with difficulty.
