Chapter 284 Sister of Brilliance
The weather is very good tonight, the moonlight casts a bright silver glow on the earth, and the river in the distance is like glowing silk, slowly flowing eastward.
A magical light flashed, and a few foraging squirrels on the treetops screamed and fled quickly into the shadows deep in the woods.
As the light of the magic circle converged, a figure wearing a dark purple cloak appeared on the river bank.
"This is...the Abasha River?" Brian said to himself as he stared at the flowing river water.
The Abasha River rushes out from the Thunder Peak Mountains near Deep Forest Valley, passes through Shadow Valley, flows all the way to the Sea of Fallen Stars, passes through Cormanthor, Misty Valley, Battle Valley and Feather Valley, and finally flows through Scar Gap and Scar Valley.
In other words, this should be the intersection of the Sambia Kingdom and the Feather Valley.
Brian looked into the distance, and when his eyes noticed a pure black stone bridge that glowed silvery in the moonlight, he immediately recognized where he was.
Black Feather Bridge in Feather Valley, a bridge considered sacred by the priests of Cyric, the murder god.
Because of the Year of Troubles, it was here that Cyric killed the phantom goddess Leila. Priests of the God of Murder often come here to visit the bridge and perform prayers and sacrifices.
After determining the location, Brian immediately activated the detection spell to find the location of Storm and others.
After learning that Xinbu was in trouble outside the city of Sergante, the leader of the Harpers immediately activated the teleportation spell to rush to support through the unique spiritual link between the seven sisters.
Brian naturally did not receive such treatment. Since the distance between the two was more than a thousand kilometers, he could only wait for the storm to merge with Xinbu and rush over according to the coordinates left by the storm.
The only regret for him is that no trace of Santila has been found until now.
However, he could feel that this drow girl was not killed by the Lost Lady. She probably hid in a different dimension that even he could not detect through some means.
Storm had promised him that nothing unexpected would happen to Santila, and this could very well be an opportunity for her.
As for what this 'opportunity' is, Brian can figure it out with his feet. This is what worries him the most.
“Boom!”
As Brian was walking, a violent vibration suddenly came from the front.
This is Feather Valley, which means that the army of Misty Valley and the reinforcements from Tifantun, under the leadership of Azara and Mesema, have conquered all the land occupied by Sembia in the valley. .
Much of the credit for this efficiency obviously goes to Ximbu, the wizard queen from Aglalon.
In other words, Brian's purpose of this trip has basically been fulfilled.
Although the floating city did not crash, which he deeply regretted, the Shadow Temple of Thacross and the Shadow Demon Network Stone system all collapsed, including most of the priests in the temple.
It is obviously impossible for the great prince Revalan to assemble a powerful army in a short period of time and let the floating city rise to the sky again.
The strategic purpose of his trip has been basically completed.
In fact, Brian's heart was filled with mixed feelings about High King Telamant's intervention to save the floating city of Sacros.
There is no need to say more about the worries, but the reason for joy is because of a guess that I am not sure about.
You must know that there are mainly three parties in Yinhun City.
Respectively, they are represented by the great prince Revalan, a staunch supporter on the side of the Lost Lady, a group of ghost mages headed by High King Telamante who are trying to get rid of the control of the Lost Lady, and Several neutral forces represented by the fifth prince Desude and the sixth prince Lamorak.
In the plot of the game world, ever since High King Telamante teamed up with people from the Shar Church to seriously injure the sage Elminster of the Valley of Shadows, he has never participated in the attack on the Lost Lady. The plan of the Mystara Weave.
Even if the floating city of Sacros launches a full-scale attack on the Kingdom of Cormyr, Telamant still stays in his own city of ghosts and fishes.
This made Brian suspect that High King Telamante might have reached some kind of agreement with the Lost Lady. For example, if he wanted to take action, he had to pay something.
So, the High King's move to save the floating city of Saroks this time may mean that the Lost Lady has one less chip in her hand.
Of course, this is all his unilateral speculation.
As for whether it is accurate or not, it depends on what kind of unexpected gains Brenas, the little prince of Ghost City, can get after finding Iolum. The truth will naturally be revealed by then.
After all, he no longer dares to confidently claim that he can know anything that will happen in the next timeline.
The appearance of the devil of Baator Hell and the lost lady Shar, these two loud slaps, have made him completely learn his lesson.
“Rumble!”
The violent vibrations came again.
Brian's pace involuntarily quickened. He was already sure that there was a battle ahead, and it was on his only path.
"What kind of enemy can actually make the mad witch Xinbudu helpless." He quickened his pace while thinking about the help of the great prince Revalan.
——"Invisibility!"
With a thought, his figure instantly merged into the darkness, and then moved closer to the location where the battle took place.
His rich combat experience told him that when his own strength cannot crush him, he must not suddenly intervene in a fierce battle openly and openly.
The consequence of this is that the moment he appears, he suddenly becomes the most handsome guy on the battlefield, and is then killed instantly by his opponent's concentrated fire.
The most correct approach is to sneak up on him silently, make a sudden attack without the opponent's knowledge, and take away an enemy in an instant.
Moreover, his legendary equipment "Purple Dragon Seal Ring" has the "avoid detection" enchanted by the female lord Myrcella herself. After turning on the invisibility, it will not be easily detected by any prophecy and detection spells. Detected.
This is simply a must-have equipment for sneak attacks.
There is magical energy escaping in the air.
Before he even got close to the fighting area, Brian noticed the magical energy. This energy made him feel a little familiar. It should be the crazy witch from Xinbu.
As he continued to approach the battle site, dark breath, shadow energy, elemental fluctuations, magical brilliance, and some kind of power that Brian felt very uncomfortable and fearful, but also a little familiar.
"Boom!"
The sound of exploding fireballs sounded, and there was also a series of clear chants like a song when a long sword was dancing.
This magical sound made Brian feel as if he had taken a sip of ice water on a hot summer day just the moment he heard it.
This allowed him to immediately determine that it was the attack method of the Bard Storm, because the attacks of the legendary bard can always inadvertently emit a morale-boosting movement.
"It's her indeed!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Brian spotted a slim figure covered in a black cloak and wearing purple decorations.
‘Black Veil’ Illyriel.
Brian recognized the figure's name at a glance.
The Temple of Ancient Night in Calimport is the oldest and proudest place of Shar worship.
This is a group of underground buildings covering most of the underground areas in the eastern city. The highest known Servant of Shar: The Dancer of the Dawn rules here, Illyriel 'Black Veil', a dissolute Calishite woman known for her fanciful tales of orgies and murder, Over the years, she has triggered at least 10 coups in various countries on the mainland.
It was she who completed a huge dark ritual in Odulin, the capital of the Kingdom of Sambia, summoning an interdimensional rift and destroying this city with a population of nearly 200,000. In the big city, most of the residents were killed in this disaster and transformed into undead creatures.
Brian also knew that in the next action, Tiffanyton would also face the same fate, and this was the person who planned it.
Seeing the familiar enemy, he quickly restrained his breath and retreated a little, allowing himself to blend into the dark shadows more covertly.
If given the chance, he wouldn't mind keeping the other person here forever.
Then he saw another acquaintance wearing a dark blue robe.
The female commander-in-chief of the Sambia Kingdom, Mirabetta, is a dragon-veined sorcerer whose strength has reached a mid-level legend.
This bitch is also a ruthless character.
Mirabetta Selchik was born into a family of sorcerers in Sambia.
It is said that there is a male blue dragon imprisoned in her family. In order to obtain the power of the dragon's veins, the female leader spent twenty years letting the blue dragon sow seeds day and night, giving birth to hundreds of blue dragons in total. A half-dragon by blood.
Then when these half-dragons grew to about ten years old, these half-dragon children, together with the blue dragons, were all slaughtered in a sacrificial ceremony.
The purpose is to use some evil secret method to extract the power of their bloodline.
This is the fundamental reason why she was able to advance to legend in just a few years and become the most powerful blue dragon warlock in the Kingdom of Sambia.
This is not only an extremely powerful spellcaster, but also a quite terrifying warrior who is good at hand-to-hand combat.
The female leader of the Kingdom of Sambia.
In a sense, her fame and rise are even more exaggerated among their player base than Myrcella, the female lord of the Kingdom of Cormyr.
When this cruel dragon warlock first appeared on the scene, she appeared in the player's sight as the female commander-in-chief elected by the Supreme Council of the Kingdom of Sambia, and directly interacted with the great prince of the Ghost City. Form a military alliance.
In the end, as expected, she killed the Supreme Council of the Kingdom of Sambia and took over the power of the entire kingdom at an alarming speed.
It can be said that this female commander is one of the most feared women in the valley and Cormyr.
Her ruthlessness and cruelty are comparable to those of the drow mistresses in the Underdark. Almost anyone who deals with her is extremely cautious, including Revalan, the eldest prince of the City of Shadows.
Since the female commander-in-chief has appeared, is she also involved in this siege?
Brian's eyes fell on a figure wearing a white dress.
That was a girl. To be precise, she was a peerless existence that could make everyone stunned and hold their breath.
White and flawless skin, small nose, pink lips gently raised, with a pure and charming smile full of temptation, two big eyes moving, giving people a sense of Playful and cute feeling.
She seems to be a contradictory combination of innocence and temptation. She seems so ignorant of the world, but she also reveals a fatal temptation.
Brilliant Sister ‘Pure One’ Telina.
Brian recognized the true identity of this human girl.
To be precise, the Sister of Radiance is an advanced form of succubus: Possession.
There are 13 of them in total. After endless joy, the succubus queen Malkanthet created these creatures, and these 13 creatures also retained loyalty to their mother.
Known as the Sisters of Radiance, these versatile behemoths are masterful seducers, singers, strategists and 'lovers', as well as the Succubus Queen's favorite servants.
Under normal circumstances, Sisters of Radiance can be distinguished by the halo surrounding their heads.
Each Sister of Radiance has a different halo and hair color, and people also use colors to distinguish them, such as: jet black, violet, crimson, snow white, green, etc.
The Sister of Radiance can freely control the brightness of the halo, from dim to almost indistinguishable to strong light that can illuminate a radius of 120 feet, and even display various supernatural abilities.
But the Sister Hui Yao in front of her obviously did not reveal her aperture, which means that she has not yet used her true strength.
It is said that as long as the succubus queen Melcanthet still rules Shendilavil in the Abyss, the 13 radiant nuns will never disappear.
If a Sister of Radiance dies, another Obsessor will be promoted to become a new Sister of Radiance.
As Brian can see, Sisters of Radiance have a purer and more divine temperament than angels. Each of them will be considered by mortals as messengers of gods when they reach the material plane.
In fact, this is not bad.
The Succubus Queen Malcantheut has surpassed those gods with weak divine power in many places. It is not arrogant to describe her as a god, and Sister Glory is her messenger, an absolutely loyal messenger, no One can shake Sister Radiance's loyalty to Malcanthet.
However, there is no good atmosphere among Sister Hui Yao.
They are all vying for their mother's favor, competing in every aspect from combat prowess, command ability, merit, seducing mortal souls, to skills in bed.
Mecantheut has a fickle and unpredictable character. Although she dotes on all her daughters, the one she loves the most is always changing. This intensifies the competition and turns it into a cruel competition.
In fact, what is interesting is that since the emergence of Sister Huiyao, no nun has died at the hands of the enemy. Every nun who has fallen has died at the hands of his own sisters.
Every time a nun dies, Malcanthet sheds tears.
This isn’t pretentious, but it’s genuinely sad.
She really loves each of her daughters, but after being sad, she will severely reward the daughter who killed the sisters, because Malcanthet thinks she is stronger...
There is a passage that records this:
“The most beloved servant of the Succubus Queen Mecantheut is naturally the Succubus. Ever since she became the Succubus Queen, Mecantheut has had a special affection for the Succubus. Even if some succubi often disobey her wishes, this love has not changed. To Melcanthet's peculiar logical thinking, these 'willful' Sisters of Radiance are nothing more than their nature. Only certain rare succubi, such as the disgraced ladies who live in Sigil, are truly free from the succubus queen's care. If there is anything in the multiverse that makes Malcanthet truly sad, it is undoubtedly this. These lost children.”
The reason why Mirabetta, the female commander of Sembia, is more exaggerated among their players than Myrcella, the female lord of the Kingdom of Cormyr, is fundamentally. The reason is that she also has a bundled software: Sister of Radiance.
This is the same as "the 3D zone cannot lose Tifa, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem."
Whenever the female Grand Commander Mirabetta appears, the human form of the Sister of Radiance "Pure" Telina will follow closely behind.
At the beginning, no one knew that the other party’s true identity was Sister Huiyao.
Until one day, in the city of Sergante in the Kingdom of Sambia, there was a fight between the 'Black Veil' Illyriel, the female commander Mirabetta and the radiant nun Telina. Famous scenes of fierce battles between hundreds of players.
Afterwards, some players even said proudly: "When I think of myself being fucked to death by Sister Huiyao, I feel - it's so damn exciting!"
Brian guessed that the evil secret method used by the female commander to quickly increase her strength probably came from the succubus queen of the bottomless abyss.
This secret method is not without its sequelae. For example, the strong desire to inherit the true dragon is one of them.
As for why Sister Glory appeared in the material plane.
This is naturally related to the upcoming turmoil in the Underdark. The Succubus Queen is making plans in advance to deal with the demon prince Demogorgon.
