Chapter 375 Temptation of becoming a god


Chapter 375 The Temptation of the Gods

Under the bright moonlight.

The bustling city scene was like a scroll, clearly occupying the field of vision. At this moment, Brian could not conceal his inner surprise.

Ever since he explored the Tower of Windsong and learned where the mad Ogathra was hiding, he non-stop came to the outer area of ​​Myth Drannor, trying to get information from this group of elven expeditionary forces. Learn the exact location of Everriska.

However, what made him feel unbelievable was that at this moment, Myth Drannor had already become completely new, like a newly emerged city.

Brian stood on a platform built on an ancient oak tree, overlooking the elf capital that had been restored by the elf mage through magic.

A bright purple magical halo spurted out from the ground, as if rows of lampposts were lighting up, completely illuminating the slightly empty elven capital. The light pillars shone on the mirror-smooth dome, and then The scattered refraction makes the whole city float with wisps of purple light.

The streetscape of this city that is completely shrouded in a magical atmosphere is incredibly bright. Several ancient oak trees stand tall and straight into the sky. The base of the oak trees is made of pure white rocks. , a neon-like violet halo surrounds the slightly floating branches and leaves of the oak tree, making people feel like they have entered a dreamland that combines nature and magic.

Even the various exotic flowers and plants blooming in the garden exuded bursts of strong natural fragrance, which made Brian almost dizzy, or maybe it was the air here that caused this feeling. A strong pulse of magic permeated the air.

It can be seen from this how successful the Elf Expeditionary Force from Yongju Island was.

They conquered Myth Drannor, cleared all the demon elves and the strongholds of many drow elves in the ruins, defeated the army of the Dark Trade Network, completely destroyed their base camp Zhentil Keep on the coast of the Moon Sea, and As for the electorate of Dark Lord Bane, Bozor had to lead the remaining forces to retreat to the Raven Fortress north of the Dragonspine Mountains.

The elven expeditionary force that returned victoriously not only rebuilt the ruins of Myth Drannor, but even the mythical locks that once protected the city were gradually restored one by one.

Let this glorious city full of artistic beauty be as dazzling and beautiful as the sparkling gems on the necklace.

At this moment, slight footsteps came from behind Brian.

The voice of the visitor sounded at the right time. It should be a nearby elf guard. He said respectfully: "Sir Brian, the celebration has begun."

"I understand." Brian nodded slightly, and the elf guard tried to leave.

This so-called celebration naturally refers to the expedition force from Evermeet Island to recover and rebuild Myth Drannor.

Although Brian did not directly participate in this operation, and did not even participate in the fiercest battle against Zhentil Castle, the base camp of the Dark Trade Network, during his exploration of the Tower of Windsong , but helped the elves to clean up many demon elves and wandering devils, as well as the black-blooded people who believed in the god of hunting, Mara, and took root here.

So for the elves, Brian's unintentional actions also brought great help to the elves in rebuilding Myth Drannor.

Of course, even if he did not eliminate these monsters, he could still gain their respect.

Because in this operation, in addition to the elven troops of Evermeet Island and Cormanthor, the Valley and the Kingdom of Cormyr also sent reinforcements.

As the Lord Protector of the Kingdom of Cormyr, Brian, even the most arrogant elf in Cormanthor, would not dare to underestimate his status as a mid-level legend.

Brian naturally had no interest in the celebration held by the elves.

He just looked at it from a distance and left quietly without attracting anyone's attention.

The entire celebration is nothing more than a celebration of the dead, and the elves who were killed when Myth Drannor was destroyed. Because they could not fall into the arms of the elven god Corellon Larethian, they turned into ghosts and stranded. world.

Then there are words of encouragement. The so-called dead are gone, and the living should live optimistically.

When the last part of the celebration began, Brian just looked at the graceful figures of the dancing female elves and left the singing and dancing party.

The main reason why he stayed here was because the crowned wearer of Myth Drannor, Ilseveri, promised him to arrange for someone to take him to Avery the next day. ska.

Brian returned to the treehouse hanging above the tall oak tree. He sat alone in front of the window. The dark black sky was divided into several pieces by the naturally formed window edges of the oak tree, and stars were scattered there. The area around the bright first quarter moon is like the sparkling golden glow on the lake caressed by the setting sun.

I have to say that the night of Mis Drannor is very beautiful and quiet, it is almost breathtaking.

This made Brian curiously wonder what kind of beauty it would be like if the Eno Oak Desert ushered in the lush green day, and he stood on the floating city, overlooking the land of the Arcane Empire.

Thinking of this, he looked into the distance.

As expected, I saw it.

In the shadows shrouded by huge maples and oaks outside the city of Myth Drannor, countless dim and glowing elven ghosts are wandering unconsciously in the forest, constantly repeating the same memories of their lives. action.

"They will be redeemed. One day, the people of Arvandor will return to the embrace of the Seldarine gods."

A pleasant female voice came into the room without any warning, and said with a smile: "I wonder what the Lord Protector of the Kingdom of Cormyr is thinking about when he looks at these ghosts?"

Brian Xun Looking at the voice, a slender figure appeared in his sight with his back to him.

Although it is just a back view, the clothes on the upper body that are too close to the body outline the beautiful curves from the flexible and plump shoulders, all the way to the slender waist. caught his eye.

Even though the speaker did not turn around, Brian recognized the person’s identity through the silky and bright sapphire hair. He smiled and said:

“Look at these homeless people. The returning elven ghosts, I was thinking that at least they still have a chance of redemption, but the innocent people in Netheril were not so lucky. If one day, when the Haenorok desert is restored to a verdant land suitable for human habitation, Plains and forests, I wonder how many people will remember how many Netherese bones have been buried in this land. What do you think, Ms. Silenci?”

The sudden appearance of this mysterious chosen goddess of magic in his room really surprised him, and he couldn't help but wonder what the other person's purpose was here.

And from what Silinxi said just now, Brian guessed that the other party had probably found a way to redeem the elven ghosts, that is, how to get the Queen of Everjum Island to give Ilseveri the How to quickly grow and germinate a tree of soul seed.

If this is the case, then her purpose of coming here is a bit intriguing.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Brian to be a sentimental person.” Ms. Silinci turned around gracefully. Her eyes were as bright as gold foil, but her smile was slightly cold. “This makes me curious. What is the goal you are pursuing?”

Brian couldn’t help but look at Ms. Silinci as she walked over.

Compared with Silinxi, who always had a soft smile and a face as gentle as water when she met in the world of magic network, the chosen one of the goddess of magic seemed to be a different person at this moment.

Her facial features are dignified and beautiful, like an ancient beauty in a book. Her long sapphire hair is carefully tied up, which makes her already look like an iceberg beauty, and has a cold-eyed temperament.

But what surprised Brian was that her sexy clothes had nothing to do with being cool and dignified.

Of course, Silinxi’s outfit in the Magic Network is also very sexy.

Brian can still vividly recall what she looked like at that time.

In particular, the eye-catching waistcoat line outlined on the flat and firm abdomen, which only covers the round and firm breastplate, gives the slender waist an inner sense of strength and explosive power.

At this moment, Silinxi took off her usual sexy breastplate and put on a unique violet robe.

The neckline of the robe is very low, and you can clearly see the impressive double peaks. It is wrapped in ultra-thin black gauze, revealing the faint snow-white skin, delicate and silky. With an attractive luster.

The hem is also boldly slit to the hips, and those fair and slender legs are generously displayed.

Even though Silinxi had a stern face at this time, this sexy outfit that perfectly showed off her figure still gave her a bit of feminine grace.

"Ms. Silinxi, your clothes today make you look more beautiful than usual." Brian, who recovered from his brief absence, did not answer her question. Instead, he joked: "I have to admit, I wear something occasionally. Clothes that show off your charm are also a pleasant thing.”

“It’s so rare, is this considered a show of charm?”

Silinxi folded her arms and leaned against the table and chair. He glanced at Brian with disdain and said, "In the old Myth Drannor, there were many elven witches who were more fashionable than me."

As if recalling something sad, She sighed silently again, looked directly at Brian with her beautiful golden eyes, and said, "It is not the behavior of a gentleman to intentionally deflect a lady's question. Don't you think so, Mr. Brian?"

" I have never claimed to be a gentleman." Brian looked at her and then deliberately looked back and forth at her graceful and slender body with unscrupulous eyes.

The female elf's hair was bathed in the soft blue moonlight and magic stars, making her beautiful shoulders seem to be coated with silver luster. He smiled carelessly, "Just seeing Ms. Silinxi's stunning appearance, ordinary people A normal man would feel this way."

"Since you asked directly, I have nothing to hide, and besides, this is not a secret worth hiding." He said nonchalantly. He said in a tone:

“As a descendant of Netheril, my goal is naturally to reshape the glory of the Arcane Empire and turn the vast Aenook desert into a verdant green field. That’s all. ." Even though he said that, the casual expression on Brian's face made it obvious that these words were more perfunctory.

"Great ideal." Silinxi nodded slightly, with a serious expression on her face, obviously not thinking that Brian's words were perfunctory.

She placed her left hand across her chest, holding up the pair of murder weapons and her right elbow. The other hand slightly nodded her chin, which was like a white lotus petal. She looked at Brian with a meaningful look and asked tentatively, "Back then, in When we fought against the Prince of Shadows Revalan, didn't you get the essence of the thirteen ancient shadow evils? As far as I know, it also contains one-third of the shadow priesthood. With your current ability, maybe you can Use this power to become a god."

"If we succeed in the confrontation with the Lost Lady in the next action, you will also control the other two-thirds of the shadow priests." Her words were shocking. Said:

"At that time, you can use the power of the Shadow Priesthood and let the goddess Mystra help you get involved in the Lost Lady's Shadow Demon Network. If you succeed in becoming a god, you can restore the Eno Oak Desert. It's a matter of course, otherwise why would High King Telamante choose to be loyal to the Lost Lady? He just wanted to use her power to achieve his goals."

Silinxi seemed to have thought of something interesting. He pursed his lips and smiled softly:

"If you really succeed in becoming a god, don't forget me. How about letting me become your chosen one then?"

Become a god? !

Brian was really shocked by Silinxi's words. He didn't expect that she would consider this issue that he had never even thought about.

This made him immediately realize that if what Silin Xi said was true, then he would use one-third of the shadow priesthood in his hand to become a god, and then with the help of the goddess of magic, he would get involved in the Shadow Demon Network. It's not impossible.

However, the idea is beautiful and may even be possible.

But this was not Brian's choice. If he had really planned to take the path of becoming a god, he would not have chosen to give the god-like power in his body to the water fairy Sylvari.

Brian glanced at Silinxi warily. Although the other person had a cold expression that would keep strangers away, he could detect a flicker of nervousness in her bright golden eyes, as if no matter what he did, The choice has a profound impact on her.

He shook his head and said in an unprecedented calm tone:

"Becoming a god does not have much appeal to me. Although gods have powerful power that transcends mortals, In my opinion, this kind of power is not something that ordinary people can never reach without the help of the gods."

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Yu Nese. With Riel completely severing contact with Iolum, the other party may have figured out how to improve again after reaching the high level of legend.

“Don’t underestimate God, Brian, the power of God is by no means as simple as you see.” Silinxi shook her head slightly and said solemnly, “You thought you killed the Thirteen Ancient Shadows Can one of the evil spirits and the Prince of Shadows, who has obtained one-third of the shadow priesthood, judge the power of the gods? ”

"No!" she said, "The fundamental reason why you were able to win was with the help of the power of the goddess Mystra. Only gods can deal with gods. This is not an empty lie. This is in the main material where the power of gods is severely limited. In the outer plane, even a demigod would kill you as easily as crushing an ant. "Of course I know," Brian nodded nonchalantly and turned around. Looking at the deep starry sky outside the window, he said calmly:

“But you have to know that when the sheep herd moves as a whole, the sheep in the middle will never be able to figure out the situation, and they can only follow blindly, and they can only walk. Only sheep on the edge can see the situation around them clearly, but sheep on the edge are very dangerous and can easily be eaten by wild animals. Therefore, only those who walk on the edge of danger can see the real situation of the world clearly. ”
< br>"Despite this." Silinxi retorted:

"The sheep on the edge will still find ways to squeeze into the depths of the flock while walking, because everyone is willing to follow blindly. After all, it is the safest thing in the world. It is to make yourself disappear among the crowd, as if you are like others, and appear gregarious and safe. This is a characteristic of all species. ”

"Including the gods?" Brian turned around, looked directly into Silinci's golden eyes, and asked in a slow but firm tone.

"I admit that you have a high vision and strong strength, and your growth rate is even a bit alarming, Brian."

Faced with Brian's amazing quotes, Silinxi still had an expression on her face Without changing, he sighed softly:

"Maybe, it's not necessarily true that you can really reach the level you want. But even if you really reach that level, so what? You are always a mortal. , no matter how strong you are, no matter how long you live, you still have to follow the natural laws of birth, old age, illness and death, but gods are immortal. Even tens of millions of years are nothing to gods. As long as you still have faith, even if you No matter how many times you are destroyed, you will still have the chance to be resurrected. In this case, even if you surpass God, what does it mean? Although the meteor is bright, its light only lasts for a moment, but the brilliance of the star is with you forever."

After listening to Silinxi’s words, Brian fell into a brief silence.

He was not moved by the other party's words, but he was thinking about how big the gap was between mortals and gods.

Silinxi is right about one thing.

No matter how strong he is, he will one day have to follow the natural laws of birth, old age, illness and death.

With his current strength and having taken the Water of Life, his lifespan would be around a thousand years at most. Even if he obtains the blessing of immortality, making himself immune to any aging, he will not die from aging. , but this energy will eventually be exhausted one day, and it will not be able to have nearly eternal life like the gods.

Although the lich can also do it, the lich is like the corpse-decomposing ghost fairy in the world of Xianxia. Transforming into a lich means that he has lost the meaning of being a mortal. That is not as good as Just die as soon as possible.

This made Brian start to think about whether there is a way in this kind of world that is similar to not being in the Five Elements and jumping out of the Three Realms.

For him who has a system, even though he doesn't know whether such a method exists, he really wants to try it in his heart. Even if he ends up with a bloody head, he doesn't care.

This is his choice.

Faced with Brian's silence, Silinxi frowned in confusion, "Bryan, how many people have dreamed of this opportunity to become a god? The experience in the Magic Network was not planned by Larocque. For a long time, you have worked hard to become the God of Mystery, but finally returned with hatred. But now, you can achieve this goal by simply extending your hand, but you choose to refuse. You are too arrogant. Or are you too confident?”

Brian was silent for a while, then suddenly looked up at Ms. Silinci, his eyes full of doubt:

"You seem a little strange today, Ms. Silinxi. Compared with when we met in the world of the magic network, you seem to have become more confident, more scheming, and more eloquent. It seems that you are a completely different person."

"A different person?" Silinxi was startled when she heard this, and couldn't help but smile:

"Is there anything strange about this? I have lived for a thousand years, what kind of people and things , I have experienced it all, even in the mouths of humans, I am a fickle old witch or bitch, you can think that fickleness is also my specialty."

"In this case, let's break up. I want to mention the matter of becoming a god again." Brian stopped pursuing the matter and said with a deliberately straight face:

"If there is nothing else, please come back, Ms. Silinxi. , no matter what, I am a guest from afar, so you won’t make things difficult for me as a guest.”

"Or..." Out of doubt about Silinxi's true identity, Brian suddenly reached out to lift her chin, looked directly into her eyes, and in a frivolous tone, whispered to her, "What are you planning to do tonight?" "Serve my guest personally?"

Silinxi was obviously taken aback by Brian's unexpected words.

However, she quickly came to her senses, shook her head and avoided Brian's outstretched hand, and said with a smile in a nonchalant tone:

"If I want to vent my desire, Mis ·There are many elves in Zhuo Nuo. Don’t you think that you are my only choice?”

“I’m not that narcissistic.” Brian just gave up. After all, he’s not that narcissistic yet. This elf witch who is said to have the highest magical attainments is like the Harper leader Storm, who can have sex with him with just a few words.

He deliberately showed a look of regret, then extended his hand to see off the guest and said: "Since Ms. Silinxi has no such intention, please come back. It's getting late, and I have to prepare to rest."

" Very good." Silinxi nodded slightly and walked closer to Brian. She was so close that she could feel each other's temperature and heartbeat. Then, she reached out and untied the belt of her robe, and said with a smile: "I will fulfill your wish. , let’s do it.”

“?”

This time it’s Brian’s turn.

What he did just now was just out of suspicion of Silinxi's true identity, and he deliberately tested her authenticity. Unexpectedly, the other party was actually being serious with him, which made him feel a little at a loss for a moment.

Looking at the female elf who had begun to take off her clothes, he had to sigh inwardly: Are the waistbands of the chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic really that loose?

“I said you are not the only choice, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t look for you.” Silinxi shrugged her beautiful brows, put on an evil expression, and said to Brian: "Aren't you very sorry? Are you going to do it? If you don't do it, I will find someone else."

Brian secretly complained a few words in his heart, but on the surface he looked around the simple house very calmly. The tree house said: "Are you going to stay here or go to your bedroom?"

"You actually want to go to my bedroom. He is really a man with a lustful heart but no courage." Silin Xiyong Looking at Brian with mocking eyes, he said sarcastically.

Faced with the female elf's ridicule, Brian directly used magic to completely isolate this simple tree house from the outside world. Then he picked up Silinxi and laid her down on the bed.

"Silinxi, admit it to yourself, aren't you very comfortable now? Since this is what you have to do, why can't you enjoy it. I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to relax like this in the future." Brian stared at her face. , deliberately slowing down his tone and speaking slowly.

“Oh, once I was in Myth Drannor, as long as I waved my hand, there were groups of men willing to kneel down and lick my feet. It was not your turn to point fingers, and besides, you had to call me ‘Ms. '." Silinxi said without showing any signs of weakness. The coldness in her golden pupils did not waver at all because of the weakness of her body.

"That's it..." In this regard, Brian naturally would not spoil her. He said calmly, "As a courtesy, do you want to call me 'Sir', Silin?" Ms. Xi?”

“You can wait until you feel comfortable with me!” Silinxi said to him with a cold and arrogant expression.

“I know, I know, then I’ll get started.”

Then there was a soliloquy that Silinxi couldn't understand, such as 'tsundere', 'tongue-in-cheek', 'aheiyan' and the like.

After saying this in a calm and calm tone, Brian felt the soft and delicate body tremble, and then he raised a confident smile.
