Chapter 352: The Elf Mage with the Highest Magical Achievements
It is like the world of the magic network filled with white mist.
“Don’t worry.”
The female elf who suddenly appeared was suspended in mid-air, smiling and said to Ilseveri: “I will not use this sword against you. Yes, it won't hurt others. It would be too pitiful to save my life and lose your family moon blade."
She turned to Brian and said, "Thank you, In time, it became my backing.”
Brian stood up and looked at her thoughtfully. This elf looked a little older than a child, but the weight that fell on his shoulders was too heavy for him to compliment.
He seriously doubted that this somewhat naughty elf mage did this on purpose.
Although he thought so in his heart, Brian still smiled politely at her.
The elf took the tip of the sword and handed it back to him.
At the same time, Ilseveri, who had an unhappy face and was already at the critical point of rage, suddenly put away her weapon and knelt down in an exaggerated manner, as if facing an elf royal family or a famous lady. .
"Don't do this to me, young warrior."
The elf raised his hand, interrupted what Ilsevili was about to say, and smiled at her: "Although I have not completely abandoned etiquette, but I’m still glad to meet you, a descendant of the Milita family, in this strange place. I can see that this bloodline is continuing vigorously.”
Il Sevili blushed and fell silent. He stood up and stepped aside with a respectful expression.
The sapphire-haired elf turned his head to look at Brian, his golden eyes sparkling, and smiled: "Please accept my gratitude and my explanation."
At such a close distance, her beauty is even more breathtaking.
With perfect fair and golden skin, such slender arms and legs for such a small stature... Even Ilseveri, who is a woman, was a little stunned.
The female elf waved her slender hand gently, and said in a sweet and sweet voice: "I have seen even the most beautiful ones. I said, there is no need to stare at my old bones."< br>
Her words were like a basin of cold water, pouring on Brian instantly, making him suddenly come back to his senses. Only then did he realize that he had been fascinated by the other person without even knowing it. So scared that I broke into a cold sweat.
"What should I call you? Miss..." Brian said calmly, and struggled to shift his gaze.
Because he obviously felt that he couldn't take his eyes away from the other party's gorgeous sapphire hair.
"Don't call me that." The elf shook his head and said, "I am at least dozens of times older than you. Besides, I am neither young nor naive."
"Then, madam... "Brian said deliberately tentatively.
"Do I look that old? You are a little brat who has only lived twenty-nine winters." She glared at Brian angrily, "Or do I look rich?"
“………”
Brian glanced at her speechlessly.
"Okay."
The beautiful female elf sighed, and then Brian was stunned to find that the other party turned into the female version of himself.
Her beautiful hair was black and shiny, and her skin was soft white, which he couldn't bear to look at.
"Look, do you feel better like this?" She winked at the two of them playfully and said with a smile.
"Unless I know that I am seeing you as you truly look, ma'am."
Brian calmed down and ignored the other party's prank: "I have encountered many enemies that look charming, but they are actually scaly snakes, or even more disgusting things. They like to use their beautiful appearance to confuse ignorant adventurers. , so, you know."
The elf shrugged and turned back to snow-white skin and blue hair. "Actually, I can't remember before I learned the first spell. "
"Excuse me." She sat down cross-legged and whispered.
Then she placed her hands on the 'ground' of Tahadana filled with white mist, and then pointed at the nearest ball of silk thread. Her smile looked gentle and kind: "Twist the mystery lock." After a lot of effort, I'm still very tired."
"So, you are Silinxi," Brian said, "The chosen one of the goddess Mystra."
< br>
He is also the most accomplished spellcaster in Faerun so far. Brian did not say this.
In fact, he had already guessed that he would meet the high elf mage here, but he was never sure, so he didn't say it.
Now it seems that all this is as he guessed.
“Yes, she is the guardian of Myth Drannor, Ms. Silinci.”
Ilseveri, who had remained silent, stared at the elf and said with certainty, "It's the Ruler's Blade she gave me, just her appearance..."
The female elf whom Brian called Silinxi turned her head to look at him, the smile on her face disappeared, and then nodded and said: "Yes, I am."
After receiving the confirmation, Brian still did not relax. Instead, he looked at her cautiously and whispered: "Please forgive me, madam, but...are you...an elf, or..."
"You want to say, I am a moon elf, Still a sun elf, right?"
Silinxi shrugged her slender shoulders and murmured: "Maybe I am no longer an elf."
She quietly. Sit and stare into Brian's eyes.
Her skin turned dark blue, her hair turned silvery white, her eyes seemed like bottomless green pools, then turned blue together with her hair, her skin turned bronze, her hair first turned brass, and then The golden color of fire.
Seeing such an astonishing change in beauty, Brian was speechless and could only mutter to himself: As expected, none of the chosen people of the Goddess of Magic looked normal.
Silinxi obviously did not hear his complaints, because her changes did not stop.
Her skin turned dark brown, as did her hair, her skin turned brassy with a green tint, and her eyes first turned hazel, then light purple, and then as black as obsidian.
Silinxi’s blood-red eyes stared at him, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled sadly, like a sneer. Then, she changed back to her snow-white skin, golden eyes, sapphire hair, and A kind smile.
"Okay, enough games." She said with a friendly smile: "Actually, I would be happy to have a casual chat with you later, if there is another chance, but I still need you now. The more we The sooner you win, the better, remember: here, time passes much slower than on the continent of Faerûn, where days pass by like wind and clouds."
"Then why are you still bored here. It's a joke, just a waste of time." Brian couldn't help but complain. He was naturally quite aware of the speed of time in the Magic Network.
The female elf Ilseveri on the side did not speak, but just raised her eyebrows.
Obviously she had the same opinion as Brian, but out of respect for the high elf mage, she resisted speaking out.
Seeing the performance of the two of them, Silinxi smiled even harder: "You have to wait for opportunities, and I am taking advantage of the waiting opportunity to accompany you to pass this boring time. You should Just thank me.”
"Okay, Ms. Silinci."
Brian asked the question he wanted to know most, "I am willing to wait to get knowledge, but please tell us why we are here and why we are here. What are you going to do down here?”
Il Sevili quickly raised her ears and listened quietly.
"Because Storm thinks you are the best candidates, we are here to crush Larloch's latest plot. He accidentally discovered that it is profitable to deal with the Benor Liches, and they will eventually become his slaves, and he He can absorb magical energy from the mysterious lock guarded by the Beno Lich. As for the torn magic network, it was just an accident to him. There is no doubt that the Lost Lady made perfect use of this unexpected surprise for her. "
Brian looked around with a frown, waved his hand at the fog in the air, and asked: "In other words, this is Larocque's...private playground?"
"No. He is just trying to attract the Benor Lich to Tahadana, and then bring his own Lich here. As for Larok, he will stay where he is and only act through his Lich servants , This is his favorite way of doing things.”
Il Sevili frowned: “You still haven’t told me, where is this place?”
“This is. The realm of the magic web, also known as: Tahadana, is a super-dimensional space that was created with magic a long time ago. The spell was cast by members of the former Machine Empire Imasca, and it was the blood of Malogo. , that was what happened before the demise of their empire. The artificers of Imasca thought that they could avoid the judgment of the gods by finding loopholes in the magic network. There is no doubt that they all failed in the end. "< br>
Silinxi pointed at the white mist and silk thread: "I said, right now, this is a place that can only be touched by the net. The so-called 'End of Faerûn' has been destroyed, but it is obvious that these places cannot It may have been cleared by the magic net on its own."
Brian looked at her with a serious expression: "How many troops are hidden in these hidden places? How many Tahadana are there in the magic net?"
< br>
After listening to Silinxi's explanation, he was still shocked. He really didn't expect that there was such a big secret hidden in it.
The artificers of the Imaskar Empire are proficient in the knowledge of portals and gates to other worlds.
They wantonly captured tens of thousands of unlucky natives in the world outside the crystal wall system, forcing them to become slaves of their own secret power and squeezing their value.
As a result, the gods of a certain indigenous world were offended.
With the acquiescence of the god Io, the entire pantheon came to the world of Toril in the form of the incarnation of a saint with the mentality of settling down.
In the end, Imaskar's artificers were defeated, their country was overthrown, and their homeland was destroyed.
Apparently, some powerful artificers wanted to open up a new refuge, but failed.
“The artificers did not have much success, because Tahadana had no food, so they could only kill each other, and had nothing to drink except their own blood and body fluids. This is nothing, if you want to survive in Tahadana Simply gathering troops and refugees here requires a huge cost and time. Where has your enemy been and what has he done for such a long time? "
Silin? Xi said with a smile, "As for how many Tahadana there are, no one knows. As far as I know, there are at least fourteen. They are like flies stuck in a spider web, unable to move. It is almost impossible to find these places unless There is someone who can control the Weave. "You can," Ilsevili said, lowering her head so that it didn't sound like an accusation.
"Of course, some people can."
Silinxi nodded: "Laloc is one of them. He uses these places to accumulate magic and wealth. I can take you to a Tahada belonging to Laloc. Then, wherever you can see, there are gold coins that are waist deep."
"Forget it." Brian shook his head, "Lalok is not that stupid." >
"Manson of the Zhentarim can also do it. He left echoes in each Tahadana, most of which were frozen with magic." Silinxi said with a smile.
Hearing the founder of the Zhentarim, Brian frowned, looked at the smiling elf mage, and asked, "Will we meet him here?"
Silinxi smiled again, like an old lady keeping a secret, but she only said: "No."
Brian noticed that she hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "It's just ...'No'?"
Silinxi's smile twisted: "There is a clone of Mansong in his early years. He is very powerful and is still active on the mainland. When he met him in Faerun When there is danger, they will retreat to a certain Tahadana, just like a snake hiding in a cave, but don’t worry, it’s not our Tahadana.”
Brian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Il Sevelli nodded thoughtfully: "So, the reason why you have never been noticed by the people of Yongju Island for so many years is because you are also hiding in Tahadana, so you are not interested in it. Right? ”
Silinxi's smile remained the same: "Of course."
"Why?" Ilseveri asked curiously.
“Let the elves rise again, no longer decline, and no longer avoid other races. After all, our blind avoidance will only lead to hatred and killing between each other. So in my opinion, as long as I and Nian If the tall elves come forward and master the most powerful magic among the people, the elves everywhere will believe that they have unparalleled advantages and that they are stronger than other races. Even those elves who live with humans all year round can fight. In my heart, I believe that I am smarter and more...pure. A race will not appreciate the humility of foreigners, nor will it consider its own humility to be normal. This is my purpose, for the revival of the elves."
< br>"That's it." Ilseveri looked at Silinxi with an increasingly respectful look.
"But if you want to revive the elves, you must have compassion and patience." Brian looked at her and said, "And this is what you lack."
Ilseveri glared at Brian, but he chose to ignore it.
In his opinion, a powerful spellcaster like Silinsi wants to complete the revival of the elves, so that the elves who migrated to Evermeet Island can return to Cormanthor and rebuild Myth Drannor. , for her, it is really just a matter of time, but the reality is that Silinxi has not made any progress until now.
Even when Ilseveri landed on Cormanthor with the expeditionary force, she was like a hands-off shopkeeper, mysteriously throwing the Ruler's Blade to her and ignoring it.
"Your summary is very thorough. Young arcanist, I am indeed not the perfect person you think."
Silinxi's smile looked a little uncomfortable. Naturally: "Because in a way, I am what some humans call a 'witch' or a 'bitch'. Of course, in my own view, I have both revenge and childlike innocence. You see, I have always been Think that they are superior to some humans.”
"You are indeed." Brian responded, "After all, from the cultists to the Zhentarim, the world has never lacked bad people."
Obviously, the reason why Silinxi has not completed the revival of the elves has been , the fundamental reason is that he is always busy helping the goddess of magic solve the dangers that threaten world peace.
Of course, this also has something to do with her weird personality.
"Bad guys? That's right. I often take pleasure in weeding out those who are particularly ambitious and magically gifted among them. However, I will never use "heroes who save the world" or similar Good words to compliment your actions."
Il Sevili looked at Silinxi with interest: "Oh? What do you usually do?"
< br>
Silinxi shrugged her beautiful eyebrows and tried to put on an evil expression, everything was self-evident.
Ilsevere couldn't help laughing.
“You must know that anyone who attempts to use magic to go to Tahadana will lose his or her own wisdom, that is, some spells, abilities and memories, without finding the right method. For example, I can seduce A curious guy enters a Tahadana, where there are wraiths, chaos beasts, devourers, Nisiru and other creatures that steal memories or cause insanity."
Silinxi is like a wise man. The elder told the two of them without hesitation: "Of course, if I encounter enemies that are stronger than me, I might... give up the idea of purifying them and make some concessions."
"And this proves that you are not stronger..." Ilsevili whispered in a tentative tone.
After saying that, she stared at Silinxi nervously.
"That's it. His Highness, the future Crown Prince of Cormanso, what you said is absolutely right."
For a moment, Brian felt that Silinci's voice was both low and deep. Ice cold.
She continued, "If I were killed by such an enemy, it would be the same as asking for death. So I will never impulsively joke with my life, nor will I harm myself, because I want to protect the world. If so, there are still many enemies to deal with, and I can’t be left out.”
“If you keep Qingshan, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood, as long as there are guys like Larok.” Brian said: “This. The world must not be without people like Ms. Silinci.”
"That's right, as long as there are guys like Larok." Silinxi repeated, then smiled at Brian and said with emotion: "Ah, I really forgot. Ever since I left Mis Drannor, Erminster, I have never heard such wise words again. I salute you."
After saying that, she stretched out her slender hand to Brian.
"I...ma'am, I can't bear it. You are serious. I don't deserve your respect." Brian, who knew how much he weighed, couldn't find the right one for a while. Words.
When Silinci's hand touched his wrist, Brian's body stiffened. Her fingers were warm and filled with magical power, but also had a bit of a bone-chilling chill.
He was so frightened that he quickly shrank back.
"Do you know how to make an elf feel happy?" Silinxi smiled mischievously and narrowed her eyes unconsciously, "That is to kiss the tip of the ear or lick the palm of your hand. You seem to want to try it, yes. "
"I'm more interested in lichs." Brian immediately changed the sensitive topic, "But magic seems very unreliable here."
"Magic. It’s really unreliable here.” Silinxi glanced at Brian, chuckled twice, and said with a serious expression on her face:
“Especially for undead creatures, the magic that supports them has begun to weaken. Therefore, your so-called 'unworthiness' is the nemesis of the lich, and if necessary, the nemesis of the Beno Lich."
Silinxi leaned forward, and suddenly sparks bloomed in the air around her, covering the air. The white mist and threads around me were absorbed.
"My plan is..." she said, the shield trembling around them, "not only to defeat the lich, but also to deceive Larok from knowing how he failed."
" Then what?" Ilsevili asked.
"Then, he thought that the plan against the Benoy Lich would not work, and he would not continue to try unless he came in person. In short, we need those Mystery Lock talents now and in the future. Stand firm," Silinxi explained to him.
"Then if Larok senses that you are a stumbling block and chases you here to destroy you, what should you do?" Brian asked curiously.
Faced with this problem, Silinxi smiled: "He tried it before. Unfortunately, I was gradually disappearing at that time, and I was about to become a ghost that no one would remember. Then Mista The goddess Ra fell, and her spirit came here, sneaked into my lonely body, and restored me to the original state. More than that, she made me wiser than ever before. I was always proud and arrogant, but it was she who gave me this. Strength, so when Larok sees me now, he will only choose to run away wisely.”
Brian's expression changed: "Probably many mages who are too close to the goddess Mystra will say this."
"You can see it."
Silinxi smiled As he nodded, the shield around him crackled and then turned black.
"It seems that the chatting time is over, friends." She said with a slightly solemn look, "I believe that Larocque was anxious because he couldn't hear our conversation, and he must have pulled it again. Let’s return to the battlefield.”
The petite elf waved his hand, and the shield turned into a sparkling translucent substance.
Brian saw the white mist above his head and the white ground beneath his feet, accompanied by the flickering green vortex, and the black lich appeared in their sight.
This group of scalp-numbing lichs have malicious smiles on their faces.
“There are more lichs in Larok than I expected.” Silinxi’s expression became serious: “Maybe we will all be finished.”
At this moment, the undead creature Behind the wall of darkness, a silver light flashed.
“Boom!”
Accompanied by the loud explosion, the energy of the silver light burst out and instantly rushed away the hordes of lichs. Just like when firewood turned to ashes, the fire broke out in the deep darkness and submerged a large group of lichs in the sea of fire. middle.
Brian noticed that the silk threads of Xinbu were burning with silver flames. The threads then turned black, and the howling lichs once again formed a human wall and rushed over.
Just as the Lich was about to take action, another silver light flashed from somewhere nearby, blasting them apart.
The threads that were once storms also emit a shimmering silver light, which is gentler, or perhaps it should be said to be weaker, than the violent flames of Xinbu.
Soon, the thread turned black, and the remaining lichs gathered together again.
Although a large number of lichs were killed by Xinbu and the storm, there were still nearly a hundred of them.
This group of lichs first looked at the direction of Storm and Xinbu with lingering fear. After confirming that there were no problems, they sneered and moved closer, trying to launch a general attack.
"Okay, now we can only resist these lichs on our own." Silinxi's petite body was surrounded by blue and white flames, floating behind Brian and Ilseveri, "I There are still one or two tricks that can be used..."
