Chapter 315 Unexpected Helper
Huailun City is a city without a city wall or similar defensive barrier in the general sense, because it so naturally straddles the Liulong River.
The roads that have not been carefully planned lie lazily in the sun along the hills. Motorcades are traveling on the road, and cargo ships are passing through the rivers. There is constant traffic.
This is the eastern trading center of the Kingdom of Cormyr, Huailun City.
The west part of the town is a group of traditional buildings, while the buildings in the east part are relatively sparse and slightly older. This is generally due to the invasion from the east during the war era decades ago.
The city is famous for its unique bright green slate roofs and is also known as the 'Emerald City'.
This kind of stone is only produced in the north of the town, the largest quarry in Cormyr. The newly mined raw stone is dark green. After being cut, it will reflect the pure beauty under the sunlight. luster.
Walking on the streets of Huailun City, the biggest feeling you get is that this is a prosperous industrial city.
Cattle and horse traders, grain merchants... people are busy with their own things, busy and fulfilling.
There are two temples in the city, the Hall of Plenty of the Earth Mother Goddess Chantia in the south of the town, and the Forest of Divine Favor of the Nature God Silvanus in the east.
Most of the city's residents are people engaged in manufacturing or navigation, and the area is also known for its high-quality shipbuilding and pottery industries.
Wearing an inconspicuous black cloak, Brian quietly walked through the bustling streets and appeared at the largest tavern in Huailun City: Longshi Tavern.
The former owner of this tavern, Budgos Haku, has left here. This respectable patriotic businessman took funds and his most outstanding men to the turmoil ten years ago. The city of Arabel in the city supported the female lord, leaving only two daughters, Asanta and Barrel, to inherit the tavern.
And now, their good-natured teasing, together with the hustle and bustle here all day long, has become the best entertainment project in the town.
In fact, after they 'forgot' their father's teaching about adding water to wine, the hotel's business became better and better.
The hotel's excellent location, close to the running water, close to the town center and only a few hundred meters from the watch tower, makes it a good place to rest.
The purpose of Brian's coming here was not to stay, but to focus on the notice on the bulletin board of the tavern.
To those adventurers who are strong, wise, and full of curiosity:
If you want to participate in a mysterious puzzle and are willing to accept the commission to find the answer, Please go to the tavern room 23 to find TED.
"Guest in Room 23?" Brian nodded thoughtfully, then smiled.
Things were completely within the scope of his expectations. In this case, his plan to go to Guangze would go relatively smoothly.
Then, he declined the warm reception of the tavern owner and walked straight to the guest room on the second floor.
The man who opened the door for him was a man wearing a dark blue robe, a gray beard, and a blue pointed hat on his head.
He looked highly nervous, like an arrow on a string, about to be launched.
"You are the guest in Room 23, TED, right?" Brian asked calmly: "I saw the announcement you made, so I found this place."
< br>
"Oh, oh, I am TED, Tunast Dranik, the priest of the Goddess of Magic. Please sit down." The nervous old priest was stunned for a moment, then quickly let him into the room and said:
"Like other priests of the goddess, I have always wandered around in search of the legacy of ancient magic. I have explored various ancient tombs, dangerous ruins... I have even explored an evil The Tomb of the Lich. But these experiences don’t help me see through the meaning of this recent incident: Huailun City, a new Mystra Temple was built here.”
“It’s a very special thing. It's a normal thing. This shows that the belief of the mysterious lady has begun to spread in the Kingdom of Cormyr. Is there any problem?" Brian sat on the chair and thought about the information about the temple in his mind.
“Praising Mystra, it seems very common, but you have to know that there has never been a temple of Mystra in the whole of Cormyr. And this is the first one, this should be one Huge news." The old pastor filled Brian's cup with tea and sat across from him:
"I have been the pastor of the church for a long time. Although I have wandered around, I have kept in touch with the church all year round. And I didn’t know about the news that a new temple was built here. And why didn’t I hear about this lady Assasi who helped to build the temple? And why was the temple built in an old fortress? On the ruins?”
"I think you should go to the temple in person with all your questions and pray for your mysterious lady." Brian said, "Only in this way, maybe all the doubts in your heart will be solved, instead of being like a peep." The trembling mouse hid in the room and did not dare to go out. "
"As Your Excellency said, with these questions, I immediately went to the temple to find the answer, but when I entered the outer courtyard, I was refused entry. Going deeper, I was also told that I had to wait for Ms. Assass." Seemingly doubting his belief in the goddess, the old priest quickly explained:
"About an hour later, a man named Fen came. The man from Bree came out and took me back to the atrium. He was wearing the same priest robe of the goddess Mystra, but I always felt that something was wrong with him. I couldn't tell what was wrong. Something drove me... to escape from there... I think it was my prayer to the goddess that played a role. The goddess gave me a warning, and then they started chasing me! Some soldiers and mages on the temple wall, They even shot magic arrows and fireballs at me. Why did they do that? Thanks to Mystra's magic, I finally escaped. Damn it, I really want to know what happened there. Something?"
"I need to find the answer. If that fails, I will go to the nearest legal church to ask for help." The old pastor added: "But now that your Excellency is here...then you are willing. Help me?”
“It’s okay to help you,” Brian said, pretending to be confused.
"However, what puzzles me is that since you thought there was something wrong with the temple, why didn't you think of reporting it to the governor of Huailun City and asking them to assist you in the investigation. You are the priest of the mysterious lady. Believe me, with your current situation Identity, the Purple Dragon Knight and the War Mage will happily agree to your request."
"I have already told the authorities about this incident in the city," the old priest said with a helpless expression.
“The garrison commander, Constor Sol, believed my accusation and sent the Purple Dragon Knights to search the temple, but found nothing out of the ordinary. When I asked them about the search, it sounded as if they were just After a cursory search based on the rumored strange sounds and lights, I felt that it was impossible for him to search more carefully, because for Archon Shap, the business and tax revenue brought by the temple were far greater than that of the temple. It's much more important to know what's going on inside."
"In short, that's the situation, Mystra, I hope you can help me investigate it carefully." He showed a sad expression and looked pitifully. Looking at Brian.
“No problem.” Brian smiled, “I accept your commission.”
After listening to the pastor's detailed introduction, he could see that the whole incident was not much different from the plot in his memory. In this case, he could rest assured.
"That's great." The old pastor's slightly cloudy eyes flickered slightly, as if he could see from Brian's temperament that his strength was by no means as simple as it seemed, and he looked slightly excited. Said:
"Your Excellency, you must be careful. I will go to Serron City in Sambia now to report what happened here to the leader of the Mysterious Tower. I will then come back with aids to help You."
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Brian raised his hand to interrupt the old pastor. "If everything you said is true, then I will complete your commission soon."< br>
"Of course, I swear in the name of the Mother of All Magic that everything I just said to you is the truth." The old priest stood up from his chair and said solemnly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Brian was enveloped in the light of the teleportation circle and disappeared into the room.
"Advanced teleportation magic?" The old priest was stunned and said with disbelief, "Can this adventurer be so skillful in releasing advanced magic?"
At noon , just when the old priest was considering whether to go to the Kingdom of Sambia to ask for reinforcements, Brian's figure wrapped in the light of the magic circle reappeared in the room.
"How are you, Your Excellency? How is the investigation going?" The old priest approached him excitedly and asked, "Do you need my help to call for reinforcements? Let's go together..."
" No need." Brian interrupted, looking in a good mood, "This fake mysterious lady's temple has been taken away by me."
"Oh, it's gone." The understatement made the old priest nod subconsciously, and then he seemed to react, widening his eyes, looking at him in shock, and exclaimed: "What! The temple has been... has been... Did you throw it away?”
“That’s right.” Brian took out a letter seized from the temple and handed it to the old priest, saying, “This temple is a fake by the followers of the Lost Lady Shar. They use the name of the mysterious lady to attract worshipers into the temple, and finally undergo a terrible transformation ritual to distort their beliefs and consciousness."
This is what will happen after the scars of the magic web are torn out. matter.
Because Guangze is the node of the entire Shadow Demon Network, if you want to maintain it, you must need a large number of sacrifices to be transported to Guangze, and the fake temple in Huailun City is to collect the sacrifices one of the locations.
As told in the letter he handed to the old pastor:
"24th: Goddess Mystra, I sincerely ask you to have mercy on me. Why are things happening here so strange?"
"25th: I am really disappointed, the church of the goddess Is this it, or is there something I don’t know yet?”
“On the 26th: Some hideous-looking, strange creatures appeared in the temple. It is said that they were summoned to serve the temple. Yes, it’s really scary.”
“On the 27th: I suddenly began to feel that these disgusting creatures were not as disgusting as they first seemed.”
“On the 28th: I. I am gradually getting used to working with these creatures. Goddess, I seem to be much braver than before.”
"29th: Some people who have gained the trust of the goddess have begun to become like me. In fact, this form is much better than before. It is great that I can be loved by the goddess one step ahead of them."
< br>"30th: Today I tortured a coward who was determined to devote himself to the goddess but backed down halfway. I broke off his limbs and cut hundreds of wounds on his body. Those who do not deserve the trust of the goddess deserve to die, yes Yes, I really don’t understand why I was so cowardly before!”
The diary stops here, and there is no more content.
The reason why Brian did not remove this fake temple in advance was not only because he was worried about alerting others and hindering his future plans, but also because he wanted to obtain an item: a deep purple crystal about the size of a thumb:
Shadow Stone Fragments
(Artifact Fragment)
Explanation: This Shadow Stone fragment is also called: Manderok's Stone, which is also commonly known as the Shadow Stone, a fragment of an artifact that is closely connected to the Shadow Demon Network.
In the turbulent year, the Shadow Stone, an evil artifact of the Shadow Demon Network, was destroyed by a shadow mage in Simba City in Quesen Tower during a ceremony to activate the artifact at the Magic Academy.
After the ritual failed, some fragments were preserved. Since its destruction, Shar's followers have begun to search for these fragments tirelessly. Like its prototype, these fragments possess the taint demon. Net spells, the power to destroy life and create shadow-based alien life.
Note: Each fragment is a powerful item of the Shadow Weave, making it extremely dangerous to the user of the Weave.
.........
Although the female priest Arthas in this fake Mystra Temple is only around level four, the items she guards are fragments of this artifact.
The main reason why it is stored in Huailun City is that the pastors of Shar Church, after Guangze, their next target is here.
The purpose of Brian's coming here is to get this fragment. Only in this way can he use the prophecy spell to trace the cracks in the shadow plane in Guangze through the shadow fragments, thereby destroying the shadow. Magic network node.
After his goal in Huailun City was achieved, he did not stay here anymore. He left the confused old priest behind, stepped on the teleportation circle, and headed for the imperial capital Susar.
The old priest finally recovered from the shock of the contents of the letter. Just as he was about to pay the powerful adventurer, he found that the other party had already left.
Immediately afterwards, he heard rapid footsteps coming from outside the door.
In a few breaths, a group of more than a dozen fully armed purple dragon knights burst into his room and surrounded the old priest.
“Are you Tunaste Dranik, the wandering priest of Mystra?” The speaker is a sturdy middle-aged man with disheveled maroon hair, a flaming red beard, and chest The armor was full of scratches and dents from the recent battle, and the dark purple cloak was stained with blood stains and smoke that had not been cleaned in the future.
The governor of Huailun City, Shapu Redbeard.
The old priest recognized the identity of this dusty Purple Dragon Lord at a glance and had obviously fought a fierce battle. He nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I am."
"Very good." The official said, "Since the power of the Shar Church has been completely eliminated by Your Excellency, from now on, you are the bishop of the Mystra Temple, and the city hall will assist you in the reconstruction work in the next period of time."
"Huh? Me?" The old pastor was stunned again, having the illusion that happiness came so quickly.
Although he is a wandering priest of Mystra, this does not mean that he really likes to wander around. Especially as he grows older, he has begun to consider whether to spread magic. Believe in the goddess and contribute.
Who would have thought that before he put it into action, the dream he once cherished was within reach and was about to be realized, and it was a country like Cormyr that had never had a temple.
"What is going on?" The old priest forced himself to calm down and asked:
"Lord Archon, although your conditions are so generous, Mystra is above, and Sha, who is pretending to be the goddess temple, The church was not eliminated by me, but an adventurer hired by me. Before he accepted my commission, he..."
"I said it was you, that's you, you old man Why are there so many nonsense things?” The red-bearded Archon raised his thick eyebrows in displeasure and said impatiently: “Be quick and follow me!”
The old priest quickly packed up his belongings. He followed the consul in a hurry and asked curiously, "Sir, who is the adventurer who was entrusted by me?"
Obviously he is not stupid, and has already guessed the whole story that made him The root cause of the confusion.
"He is our Lord Protector." After the red-bearded consul said with respect, he looked at the old priest with stern eyes and threatened:
"Old guy, remember this for me. Yes, you entrusted us to eradicate the temple after a thorough investigation. No one else or adventurers participated. If I hear anything I shouldn’t hear, I will lead people to burn your temple!”< br>
Hearing that the adventurer was Lord Protector of Cormyr, the old priest who was going down the stairs was so shocked that his eyes nearly popped out of his head. If the Purple Dragon Knight on the side hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed his clothes in time. If you lift it up in the air, you might just miss it and roll down the stairs.
Even so, his antics of waving his arms wildly filled the tavern hall with a happy atmosphere.
On the other side, after solving the matter in Huailun City, Brian appeared in the library of Susar Palace.
There was a sudden spin.
Through the teleportation circle deep in the library, he came to the 'Crown Palace' hidden in a small demiplane, preparing to check the information while waiting for the ghost prince Bray who had made an appointment with him in advance. Nas.
The 'Crown Hall' is equivalent to the holy land of the Cormyr Battle Mage Legion. Without permission, only high-level professionals can enter freely. Therefore, every time he comes here, he can You can feel an atmosphere that makes people feel calm involuntarily.
However, during this visit to the library, when Brian was in the garden filled with birds and flowers, he unexpectedly saw the figure of an acquaintance.
In a sun-drenched pavilion, the sorceress Caradna is sitting in front of a malachite table. The striped table top is supported by four ferocious-looking gryphon beast statues, and some are placed on it. Magic materials and scrolls.
In the Kingdom of Cormyr, among the women Brian knew, whether it was the female lord Myrcella, Hesiah, or the female priest Kalena of the Mother Goddess of the Earth, they were all relatively conservatively dressed women, and the woman in front of him The tall sorceress was obviously not among them.
Caradna's shirt is made of black thin silk, allowing her curvy figure to be clearly seen. Her dark red skirt is tied with a gold belt with a rose-shaped silver buckle. The skirt The side slit is a bit exaggerated, as popular styles are thigh-high, but Caradna's skirt is slit all the way to her hips. Moreover, when she was sitting on the wicker chair, her legs were folded together without any stockings. Her smooth, white, slender legs and buttocks were quite eye-catching.
If she hadn't been wearing the dark purple hooded cloak typical of a battle mage, then her outfit and charismatic appearance would have turned heads on the street. It can definitely shock most people's eyes.
As if feeling the gaze, this sorceress who was bold and unrestrained in Brian's impression actually showed a slightly panicked expression. She raised her head from the scroll on the table, with a quill stained with ink in her hand. Perhaps out of nervousness, he dropped his hand and fell onto the scroll, causing the ink to spread out immediately.
"Ah..."
The sorceress quickly grabbed the scroll, stared at the traces of magic ink dripping on it, and frowned, "Oh, this scroll of 'Malicious Transformation' was almost completed. "
"It seems that I disturbed you, and I'm sorry for that."
Brian walked to the malachite table and sat down on the wicker chair opposite the sorceress as if nothing had happened. , looked at her calmly, and said with a smile: "However, in my opinion, only people with a guilty conscience will show expressions like yours."
"Be lenient if you confess, and be strict if you resist. ." He looked at Caradna expressionlessly, "Be honest."
After obtaining the consent of Hesaya and the royal mage Sandra Cote, the sorceress who is good at making magic equipment has been arranged by him to Mokou Town to assist in the research work of the newly established magic equipment survival department. Who He once missed the other party but sneaked back to Susar City, which made him start to doubt the other party's intentions.
After all, Brian is still doubtful that this warlock who mastered native magic can survive to this day and successfully enter the legendary realm.
If a certain devil lord was placed as an informant in Cormier, the consequences would be disastrous.
Bryan has provoked enough enemies. In addition to several demon lords in the Abyss, he also fell in love with Archduke Zariel of Avernus and Iron Duke Dispater in Baator Hell. blacklist.
Especially the devil, a guy who hides in the dark and is good at weaving conspiracies to corrupt people's hearts, is the most difficult to guard against.
The seemingly prosperous country, if not careful, may be destroyed in an instant by a series of chain reactions similar to a steamed bun triggering a bloody battle due to the corruption of the devil.
"I...I'm just here to wait for you." The sorceress glanced at Brian guiltily and chose to tell the truth.
“Wait for me?” Brian raised his eyebrows slightly, “What do you want from me?”
Only Hesiah knew the news of his coming to Susar. Obviously, this Miss Warlock got the information from her.
“I have completed all the work you assigned me.” Karadna happily raised her chest and sat upright, as if she was deliberately hiding her proud capital that could not be hidden by the black thin silk. Show it to Brian.
"Those silks made of magic metal are indeed the most suitable material for making magic handguards. Based on the arcane runes you gave me, I have taught them many production methods that are sufficient to mass-produce magic handguards. The scales of the ancient red dragon were added to the production plan of high-quality equipment."
"Then what?" Brian asked curiously.
"Then my mission will be successfully completed." The sorceress tossed her long golden hair tied into a ponytail to the back of her head, her diamond earrings that shone like stars jingled, and hummed:
"So, the purpose of my coming here to wait for you is to make you fulfill your promise. Otherwise, I am worried that if you don't come back, who will I find to reason with?"
"I haven't even left yet, and you're already expecting me to die." Brian glanced at her with a headache and said seriously:
"The magic equipment department is the main source of funding for my future planning. As the general person in charge of this research project, the equipment has not been produced yet. Isn't it a bit irresponsible to just let go and be lazy? It’s my responsibility.”
“Who says I’m not in charge? My demon pet has always been supervising their work.” Caradna leaned forward, looked at Brian, and said without showing any signs of weakness. "I warned them that if anyone dares to be lazy or the equipment they make is not up to standard, I will turn them all into guinea pigs when I come back. Don't worry."
It seems that because of the two people Because the distance between them was getting closer, the sorceress looked startled as she spoke, as if she had discovered something unexpected.
She suddenly shrugged her nose like a puppy, widened her burgundy eyes, and looked at Brian in surprise. Then she stood up and walked to him, bending down and sniffing hard. Sniff.
Brian felt a chill and quickly moved his chair to keep his distance.
"It's strange." Caradna said doubtfully, "It wasn't like this when I met you last time?"
"What happened?" Brian vaguely guessed the reason.
"I suddenly felt that you were surrounded by a very pure energy." The sorceress stood in front of Brian, with her arms folded across her chest and her chin in one hand, nodding slightly in thought, "This This energy has an inexplicable attraction to me."
"You are talking about chaotic energy." Brian saw the key to the problem.
"Yes, it is chaos energy." The sorceress sat on the malachite table. "In order to control the native magic in my body, I did not hesitate to go to the Sea of Chaos myself and receive the baptism of chaos energy. Naturally, I have this The smell is very familiar.”
"But..." Caradna looked at Brian in confusion, "But the energy of the Sea of Chaos is violent and chaotic, and cannot be controlled at all. Even a warlock like me who masters native magic can only borrow it, but I just The energy I feel from you is very pure. Although it is still mixed with some chaotic aura, it is completely different from the original energy."
"Mine. The Psion profession has only recently been promoted to the legendary realm. "Brian knew that this was due to the state of mind. He considered it in his mind for a moment and said half-seriously:
"In the process of advancing to the legendary realm. In the process, his spiritual consciousness inadvertently sensed the energy of the Chaos Sea, so he naturally became a Chaos Scholar."
"That's it." Karadna showed a look of surprise and sat directly on the table. , swaying her long and beautiful legs with too high slits, and said in confusion:
“But even the chaos scholars among the psychic professionals, the chaos energy they rely on is not so pure. This kind of energy It is infinitely close to the 'qi' of the Zeth monks."
As if she felt her actions were a bit inelegant, she quickly covered her thighs with her long slit skirt. With a thought, the wicker chair trembled and moved to Brian's side.
The sorceress sat down nearby, put her hand on his leg without any care, and started dangling: "Hey, Brian, how did you do it? Please teach me."< br>
“I’m not sure either.” Brian ignored the playful look of the other party winking at him, pinched her sleeve and moved her hand away, “Maybe I was lucky and got one inexplicably. Let’s take a chance.”
The Zeth monk that Karadna mentioned is a kind of Githzerai monk who lives in the Sea of Chaos.
This group of races who were once tricked by the mind flayers and were lucky enough to control psychic powers volunteered to live in the center of the twisted and unpredictable Sea of Chaos. With their rigorous training and the psychic defense brought by their psychic powers, they were able to survive With the power of his own will, he tamed the violent and chaotic energy of chaos.
"I know!" The sorceress's eyes lit up and she expressed her guess, "It must be your arcane fire that looks like a curse fire, right?"
"Didn't you promise me that as long as I'll help you develop magic equipment, so you're willing to let me observe your arcane fire." Caradna looked at Brian, "Is that so?"
"That's what I said." Ryan turned a blind eye, "But the problem is, you haven't even made a sample of the magic equipment, and you are trying to ask for payment in advance. Do you think it is reasonable?"
"Okay, I understand." Karad Na rolled her eyes at Brian, and then said in a tactful tone:
"You are a chaos scholar, and I am a warlock who controls native magic. As a pioneer, I have many knowledge about chaos energy. Manipulation knowledge, if you are willing to let me observe your arcane fire, I can give it all to you, how about it?”
"Not very good." Brian refused without thinking, making the sorceress next to him so depressed that she almost wanted to punch him.
Now Brian has understood that his Arcane Fire has an almost obsessive attraction to Caradna.
So, before he fully understands the other party's true background, it is best to keep her appetite in check and never compromise easily.
If I raise a white-eyed wolf or a powerful opponent, I'm afraid it will be too late to cry.
Seeing the sorceress leaving dejectedly, Brian didn't pay attention and immediately started busy with his work.
He will go to Guangze tomorrow, and naturally needs to use the knowledge here to have a detailed understanding of the ancient ruins in Guangze.
When Brian came out of the ‘Crown Hall’, it was already late at night.
He looked up at the black sky, then looked in the direction of Guangze, shook his head, and returned to his residence to rest.
In Susar's palace, he had a bedroom specially reserved for him by Hesiah, so naturally he would not worry about having no place to live.
The bedroom is covered with thick carpets, the wooden structure floor is made of moon elf style craftsmanship, the walls are hung with gorgeous tapestries and landscape paintings, several silver candlesticks are burning on the side of the house, goose yellow The colorful magic lamp illuminated the dim room, and there was a faint buzzing of insects outside the window.
Entering the room, Brian saw that under a silk nightgown as white as fresh snow, a pair of jade feet wrapped in white stockings first appeared in his sight.
The petite feet painted with lavender nail polish are swaying gently. There is no doubt that the owner of the stocking feet is sitting on the bed. Her long brown hair is hanging down, although her voice is slightly cold. , but his eyes were very fiery, "Why did you make me wait for you for so long?"
"I was too addicted to reading, and I forgot the time for a while." Brian shrugged and smiled, "You came just in time, there is something I want to tell you."
Brian lay on the bed, hugged the Queen Regent's slender waist, held her in his arms, and asked, "Is there any news about Brenas. ”
He had already made an appointment with the little prince in advance to go to Guangze, and the meeting place was the city of Susar. If Brenas arrived in advance, he would take the initiative to contact the people in the palace.
What puzzled him was that he had not received any news about the little prince.
“No.” Hesiah shook his head slightly and leaned into his arms, “I didn’t receive any news about him.”
“That’s strange.” Brian revealed With a puzzled look, he gently untied the ties between Hesiah's nightgown and guessed: "Could it be that... Brenas was imprisoned by his father?"
This guess made He felt more and more that this was a possibility.
After all, in his impression, the High King Telamante was deeply hidden. In his ten years of gaming career, he could never predict what this Nese relic wanted.
"He is from the City of Shadows, is it reliable to cooperate with him?" Hesiah's slender eyebrows raised, "After all, Tifantun was destroyed because of them. After all, the Princes of Shadows are all brothers, even if They really can kill each other, and I’m afraid their father can’t stand it.”
“That’s true.” Brian couldn’t help but frowned, “It seems that this little prince is no longer reliable. , we can only find helpers again.”
He is still self-aware, and he knows very well that in the shadow plane, the enemy responsible for guarding the nodes of the Shadow Demon Network is not only an ancient black dragon, but also a priest of Shar. .
On his own, he is no match at all.
Brian caressed Hesiah's smooth belly, thinking about the problem that troubled him.
He needs to find a helper to go to Guangze with him.
The most suitable candidate is undoubtedly Myrcella, the super-magic spell user whose strength has reached a mid-level legend.
But this female lord wants to help her guard her home, and she obviously can't leave.
The next ones are Halua Elder Arad and Royal Mage Sandra Cote. The strength of these two old mage is also medium legendary.
In order to resist the next possible floating city attack, Arad is currently shouldering the important task of deploying a protection system for Mokou Town, while the Royal Mage needs to be stationed in Susar City.
After thinking about it, Brian found that he couldn't find a suitable candidate at this moment.
“Are you thinking about the candidate to replace Brianas?” Hesiah seemed to see through Brian’s thoughts. She held his hand with a blushing face and suggested: “I think it’s stuck. Radna is a good choice."
Brian raised his head alertly and looked at her suspiciously, "Did she ask you to say that?"
This kind of connection. As a sorcerer who could turn into a guinea pig himself, he thought it was better to forget it. Bringing this unreliable sorceress with him felt like having a little trick for opening a banquet, which would explode suddenly.
"Yes." Hesiah admitted frankly, "She also said that she is now able to control her own power, and there will be no accidents. If you don't believe it, you can test it yourself tomorrow."< br>
"That's all we can do." Brian stretched out his hand and caressed Hesiah's slender and soft back, "It's just a good opportunity to test her depth. Otherwise, if you keep such a dangerous person by your side, you will always feel It makes people worry.”
“You are too vigilant.” Hesiah looked at him with a slightly dissatisfied look, “I have been in contact with her for so long, and I have never felt that there is anything wrong with her. "
"My intuition has always been accurate." She seemed to remember something and couldn't help but smile, "It's even more accurate than Sister Myrcella's prophecy."
" That's it." Brian nodded slightly.
Although what he said, he would still be suspicious when he should doubt it. After all, this sorceress gave him a strange feeling.
If the time came, he thought it would be best to ask in person.
Then, he asked her with concern about the problems caused to Cormyr after the destruction of Tiffanyton, and softly said some words of comfort to her.
Unconsciously, the two of them had been chatting for a long time.
“Get some rest early.” Hesiah took Brian’s hand and whispered, “If I leave tomorrow, I don’t know when I will come back.”
“I understand. "Brian kissed the Queen Regent on the forehead, and on a whim, he leaned into her ear and said, "Go and put on your crown, it will feel better this way."
