Chapter 359 News
Brian looked out the window. The early morning sunlight passed through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and gently poured into his study. He could clearly see the blue sky and woods outside.
The faint noise in the distance echoes with the chirping of birds, forming a unique symphony.
White clouds drift leisurely across the sky, which looks refreshing.
I have to say that this is an extremely beautiful scenery, which makes people feel refreshed just by looking at it.
But at this moment, Brian was obviously not concerned about such an issue.
The floating city of Sacros crashed in the Eno Oak Desert. It was completely destroyed, so neatly that Brian was quite surprised when he heard the news.
Recalling the harsh words that the ghost prince Agrila said to his brother Brainas before he left, Brian thought that in the next period of time, the other party would probably be there again. The Enook Desert has brought a lot of trouble to itself. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.
For this unexpected news, Brian felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.
What I am happy about is that from now on, I have one less enemy who can stop me from restoring my plan to restore the Enoch Desert. What I am worried about is the reason why the ghost prince Agrila did this.
Starting from the time when the magic net was torn and scarred, Brian set off from Huailun Town and arrived at Guangze, then to the Dark Grand Canyon in the Shadow Plane, and then to the Shadow Valley and the realm of the magic net.
Busy in the dangerous task of restoring the magic network, he has already vaguely guessed the general plan of the lost lady Shar based on his own inference, as well as the fate that the ghost princes are likely to face in the future.
Now, with the destruction of Agrila along with the floating city of Sacros through the way of self-understanding, it can be regarded as a complete confirmation of Brian's thoughts at the moment.
It can be seen from this that the so-called twelve ghost princes and the High King Telamante are completely tools in the hands of the Lost Lady.
It can be seen from the death of the eldest prince Revalan that their ultimate role is definitely to welcome the return of Shadow Evil.
After all, in the kingdom of Tianyu, there is almost nothing older than Shadow Evil.
As far back as the creation of 'God Above God' Io, they have already appeared in this lightless shadow world, and once joined forces with the Lost Lady Shar to try to make this created world , returning to Shadow Chaos.
Although Azuth, the God of Wizards, is outside the borders of the world, he attracts these shadow lords by creating the illusion of the Shadow Kingdom, and then uses the Shadow Star to cooperate with the Shadow Lord forged by Gond, the God of Invention. Key, the Shadow Evils were sealed in this miniature crystal wall system, but this did not mean that the Shadow Evils were completely killed.
If these ancient chaotic things were released, it would probably be a disaster for the entire world.
Having said that, as Brian has personally witnessed the Shadow Evils breaking free from the seal, and also killed them personally, he understands that compared with the Shadow Evils at this time, they are inferior to those in ancient times. His power has long been weakened to a legendary level with the passage of time.
Although Brian is not yet sure how the shadow evil that broke free from the seal can restore its strength to its peak state, he has roughly deduced that this group of ghost princes who were transformed into the ghost race, and even the entire All the ghosts in the City of Shadows are likely to be the key to Shadow Evil's recovery of power.
Based on the death of Revalan, it can be found that Shadow Evil looks more like using the bodies of the ghost princes as carriers, and then fusing their souls and taking over the dominant position to gradually restore its own power. strength.
There is no doubt that the ghost prince Agrila has obviously seen his future destiny. As the priest of the Lost Lady and the user of the Shadow Demon Network, he has completely become Shar's servant, even if He knew all these things clearly, but if he wanted to break free from the control of a god with powerful divine power, it would undoubtedly be an overestimation for him.
So, he chose this way to end his life.
The only thing that confuses Brian is, can the death of Agrella really completely get rid of the control of the Lost Lady?
As a wizard and priest whose strength has reached a medium level of legend, the value of his soul is very high for any god. It belongs to the Kingdom of God and can directly bypass the petitioner and be transformed into the existence of the Holy Spirit.
For this problem, Brian did not think too deeply about it. Since Agrella chose this method, how could he not think of this problem.
Brian retracted his gaze, turned to look at Myrcella who brought him the news, and asked, "Then I ask you to help me find any news about the person I am looking for in the Aino Oak Desert. ”
The person he was talking about was an Easterner who once challenged the Lady of Pain in Sigil City. This person was eventually knocked down to the main material plane, and the place where he landed happened to be the Eno Oak Desert.
In addition to handing this matter over to Myrcella, he also relied on the power of the Harper Alliance, but unfortunately, until now, there is no news about this person.
Just as Brian expected, Myrcella shook her head slightly and said, "I haven't found it. The Enook Desert is so big. If I want to find traces of a person in the vast sea of sand, even if I use all the power of the Kingdom of Cormyr "It's no different from finding a needle in a haystack."
"In that case, don't send people to find it deliberately, just let it happen." Brian said without caring, and then sat back on his chair. On the chair, he looked at Myrcella who was sitting opposite him, and then asked, "The floating city of Sacros has crashed. I am very curious about the reaction from the Kingdom of Sambia."
War After it was over, he stopped paying attention to anything in the outside world. Instead, he locked himself in his study, concentrating on the gains he had gained from this series of adventures and consolidating his own strength.
So, if Myrcella hadn't told him about Thacross, he might still have been kept in the dark.
Faced with Brian's inquiry, Myrcella looked at him with a slightly strange expression at first, and then smiled, "What happened in the Kingdom of Sambia is much more interesting."
< br>
She flipped up her hair and continued, "Just a week ago, the forces of the Kingdom of Sambia clashed with the shadow people stationed in Sergante City and the church forces of the Lost Lady. The battle was extremely fierce. It is said that in During this battle, someone opened the portal to the bottomless abyss and summoned two Balor Fire Demons. "What was the result?" Brian asked curiously.
This is the focus of his concern. If the Sembians win, then not only will he completely eliminate the threat of the ghosts, but a chess piece he inadvertently arranged may very well produce enough to reverse the situation. change.
If it is really successful, it is really something worth celebrating.
After all, this will be related to his plan for the incarnation of the demon lord coming to the Underdark two years later.
"The result was naturally that the Sambia people won." Myrcella said with a smile, "The Shadow People were all wiped out, and the Lost Lady's largest temple in the Kingdom of Sambia was destroyed."
Get what you want Brian was immediately relieved when he received the necessary news. He looked at the face of the female lord and smiled back at her, "You looked very strange just now, so I guess something interesting must have happened here, right? "You saw it." Myrcella glanced at Brian unexpectedly and said truthfully:
"Some interesting things did happen, such as in Sai. The ghost prince Ekasia, who was recovering from his injuries in Ergant City, was assassinated by a Bedai barbarian. Mirabetta, the female commander of Sambia, not only took the initiative to withdraw her troops stationed in Cormyr and the Valley after gaining the right to rule the kingdom. All the troops on the border also submitted a letter of apology to Susar City, claiming that the reason why the Kingdom of Sambia attacked Cormyr was entirely because the high-ranking nobles of the kingdom were controlled by the shadow people. Now that the kingdom has regained its freedom, the two countries have There will never be another conflict like this..."
Brian thought about Myrcella's words for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Is there any news about the Brilliant Sister Telina? ”
In his impression, although Mirabetta is called the ruler of Sembia, the real manipulator behind the scenes is actually Telina.
Apologizing to Cormier and expressing goodwill is clearly not in line with Sister Glory's style.
This means that his plan might really succeed.
“I don’t know.” Myrcella seemed to see through Brian’s thoughts at the moment. She shook her head slightly and said slightly confused, “It’s strange to say that the spy I planted in Sembia has already I haven’t found any news about Telina for a long time. Even the ‘Coiled Viper’ hotel where she goes almost every day, there is no news about her.”
“Is this a secret gift from you? It's related to the letter to Mirabetta." She looked at Brian thoughtfully and expressed her suspicion.
"If my predictions are correct, Sister Glowing Sister Telina is completely dead." Brian said to Myrcella, "And Mirabetta may have become the next Sister Glowing Light."
Although the fickle succubus Queen Malcantheat dotes on her daughters very much, Malcantheat is usually sincerely sad when every Sister of Radiance dies, but after the sadness, she will Reward the daughter who killed her sister severely, because Malcanthet thought she was stronger.
Although Mirabetta is not Sister Glory, the letter Brian secretly sent to her contains the secret about Sister Glory and how to become a Sister through some taboo pleasing ritual. Waiting list for Sisters of Radiance.
In this case, as long as Telina is killed by Mirabetta, she will be promoted and become the new Sister of Radiance.
In order to make his plan succeed, Brian also specifically asked in the letter what method could be used to kill Sister Glory as quickly as possible, and even recommended that she should choose to accept the Lord of the Morning. The radiant blade of Lathander's divine blessing.
From the disappearance of Telina and the behavior of Mirabetta, it can be seen that his sudden plan was really successful.
In this case, the success rate of his plan against the demon lord in the underdark area will be increased by several percent.
In Brian's impression, after the rebellion of the demon lords in the Underdark, the succubus queen Malkanthet took this opportunity to summon a group of powerful legendary adventurers from the material world and went directly to the bottomless abyss. , the car overturned the demon prince Demogorgon.
Although no one is sure whether Demogorgon really died, or whether he used his tricks to gain a more powerful rebirth in some way, at least before the immortal lord Orgas showed up on his own initiative, Charming The Demon Queen Malcanthet has indeed become the most powerful ruler of the Abyss.
So Brian plans to take this opportunity in the Underdark to play a big game.
For example, cooperate with the Succubus Queen and become one of the legendary adventurers who entered the bottomless abyss and overturned the demon prince Demogorgon.
Of course, his purpose of doing this was not just to kill Demogorgon, but he had other more important tasks to do.
Whether it is the Dark Lord Grazt or the Immortal Lord Orgas, they are the ones he needs to take care of next.
"In other words, the situation in Sambia was all caused by you." Myrcella looked at Brian in surprise, feeling a little incredible.
"If you look into it seriously, I think so." Brian admitted frankly, "Actually, I just had the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that it actually succeeded."
"Of course, this plan seems to be only half successful." He added, "If suddenly one day, the female leader of the Sambia Kingdom really takes the initiative to ask us to cooperate, it means that it has achieved greater results than I expected. Even better results are needed. "
Cooperating with the devil of the abyss is a very dangerous thing. Even wizards who talk and laugh with the devil will try to avoid cooperating with the devil. Brian naturally understands this.
Now he is not sure whether he dares to carry out his plan or not.
Fortunately, there are still at least two years before the uprising in the Dark Territory. He can use this time to continuously improve the details of the plan while improving his strength.
For example, the Lich hiding in the swamp of the distant sea, the immortal beauty Ye Yao he believes in, has an undying hatred with Oqisi, and the goddess of wealth Vol'jin and the dark monarch Grazt have an undying hatred. Needless to say, he can completely use these to perfect his plan.
"Oh, right." Brian suddenly remembered something and asked Myrcella, "Is there any news about Lamorak?"
He wouldn't believe it even to death, Lamorak. Lao Liuhui, like Agrela, died in the destruction of the floating city.
This guy is probably hiding in a nook and cranny of the mainland, trembling like a mouse.
"No." Myrcella shook her head slightly, "There is no news about Lamorak, including in the Kingdom of Sambia."
"This is more troublesome." Bu Ryan frowned.
It would be more troublesome if he was targeted by a guy like Lamorak who had no lower limit.
At this moment, a magic circle of silver flames suddenly appeared in front of them.
Immediately afterwards, Brian saw Silinxi, who had gone to the realm of the magic network, return to his wizard tower again.
"Lamorak has been killed by Larok." Silinci sat on the desk in front of Brian, swinging her long and beautiful legs that were not commensurate with her body shape, and said;
"This prince of ghosts is not stupid. In order to avoid the control of the Lost Lady, he also knows that the world of the magic network is the safest, but he does not know that every world of the magic network that is open to him is Larocque's deliberate manipulation of the material world. The bait set by the plane, he stepped on the mousetrap like a mouse."
"It's Larok again." Hearing the Lich King's name, Brian suddenly thought that he hadn't seen the badge that Larok gave him before he left.
