Chapter 380: The Escaped Phayling
When Brian was planning to go to Myth Drannor, he met the ghost prince Brainas.
At that time, the other party told him that he not only found the ruins of Harundas, but also discovered the truth about the city’s demise and the traces of the ‘Earth Prophet’ Asindo.
It is for this reason that Brian plans to leave for Myth Drannor.
While he was leaving for Myth Drannor, Brenas also expressed his intention to go to the Saron Forbidden Wall that sealed the Faerun Demon Sunflowers to confirm the truth about the escape of these ancient monsters.
Thinking of this, Brian's expression changed, and he looked at Brenas again, and expressed his guess, "You shouldn't have been tracking from the Saron Wall all the way here."
"That's right." Yin Hun The prince gave a wry smile, then patted the dust on his body, and said to him solemnly, "As we said when we parted, in order to investigate the truth about the escape of Felin Demon Kui, I went to the Sarun Forbidden City where they were sealed. Go to the wall."
Hearing this, the elf mage Laurian snorted with disdain and said sarcastically, "Don't you still have to go there in person? "The ghost was released."
Hearing this, Brian looked at Master Laurian and found that the anger on his face did not look like he was lying. He frowned and intervened in a timely manner. Said:
"Master Laurian, don't be excited. The complexity of the whole thing may not be as simple as you imagined. After all, the destruction of Netheril was indirectly caused by the phaerinn demon sunflower. Su How could the ghost of Ultansa be associated with this ancient monster?"
"Then I'd like to hear how he defends the release of the Felin Demon Sunflower." Master Laurian's expression softened, but he still didn't give the Prince of Shadows a good look.
Brian also looked at Brenas, waiting for his explanation.
"In fact, the Felin Demon Sunflower was indeed released by our people in Sultansa City." Brenas pondered, sighed helplessly, and chose to speak truthfully:
< br>"In the Year of Wild Magic, from the moment our floating city of Sultanza returned from the Shadow Plane to the Enook Desert, my father, High King Telamante, said that we must do it at any cost. , completely destroying the Felin Demon Sunflower hidden deep underground. Because of this, we spent a lot of money to master the restrictions left by the Saren Spirit, so that we can monitor the monster's every move at all times."
"I think you two should be relatively clear about what happened next." He was silent for a moment, and then said, "The Lost Lady's plans against the mysterious lady failed one after another, causing the followers of the Lost Lady in the city of Sultansa to be completely destroyed. But what is surprising is that Miss Lost actually planted another chess piece next to my father in advance.”
After hearing this, Brian probably guessed the true identity of the chess piece, but he did not interrupt him and continued to listen quietly.
"This chess piece is none other than Hajhorna, who is known as the 'Hand of the Supreme King'." Brenas glanced at Brian, and then said:
"Since this person has targeted Ke After the Mir Kingdom's plan failed, in order to avoid the punishment for the failure, he chose to defect and disappear. After the attention of the mysterious lady's many voters was successfully attracted to the world of the Magic Network by Larocque's plan, Hajiho Nacai took this opportunity, and under the instructions of the Lost Lady's spokesperson in the material world, 'Black Veil' Illyriel, not only stole another set of Nese scrolls stored in Myth Drannor, but also personally went to Saron The forbidden wall released the Felin magic sunflower sealed here."
Bryan, who recovered from Brenas' words, nodded thoughtfully.
The Prince of Shadows’ story was not much different from his guess.
The only thing that was slightly surprising was that Hajhorna, a defeated general, could play such an important role in the Lost Lady's third plan.
This shows how long-term and thorough Miss Lost's plan is to target the goddess of magic Mystra and try to completely replace the Demonic Network with the Shadow Demonic Network. It is simply a link that makes people breathless. Come.
Because of this, it made Brian even more depressed.
It stands to reason that as a goddess with powerful divine power and many powerful electors under her command, Mystra, the goddess of magic, should be able to face the calculations of the Lost Lady with ease.
However, the impression given to Brian was exactly the opposite.
As soon as the Lost Lady's plan was put into effect, Elminster, who was known as the most powerful warrior and the strongest mage in Faerûn, was beaten to the point of hanging up in Baator Hell. Dove and Storm, who had lived in Shadow Valley all year round, There were even one dead and one injured, and even the wizard queen Xinbu of Aglalon came to support, but they didn't get any benefits.
Although Silinxi, another elf elect who lives in seclusion in Myth Drannor, destroyed Larok's conspiracy to become the God of Mysteries in the realm of the Magic Web, the third stage of the Lost Lady's The plan had just begun. As a chosen one, Silinxi not only failed to find a way to stop it, but sacrificed herself in order to calm down the elven ghosts wandering around Mis Drannor.
Until now, the only people left to stop the Lost Lady’s plan were himself and his temporary ally Brenas.
To be honest, if Brian hadn't gone for another complete set of legendary Nese scrolls, facing the goddess of magic's teammates who all hung up and died, he might as well have gone back to Mokou Town and studied with peace of mind. Spells and build floating cities.
After all, this is Miss Lost's shocking plan to completely replace the Demonic Network through the Shadow Demonic Network. Not only did the Magical Goddess fail to make an effective counterattack, she just let him here as if it had nothing to do with her. Running back and forth alone.
Could it be that...
Brian, who was complaining secretly in his heart, suddenly recalled a sentence that Silinxi had mentioned inadvertently. The other party once told him personally that the battle between the Lost Lady and the Goddess of Magic seemed to be Shar's attempt to completely replace the Demonic Network with the Shadow Demonic Network. Little did he know that the ultimate goal of the entire incident was more like testing a certain greatest person. exist.
This greatest existence naturally refers to the god ‘Io’ who is known as the king of gods.
If this is the case, it can barely explain why the goddess of magic Mystra is so passive.
At the same time, Silinxi's words gradually caused an immature and terrifying guess to arise in Brian's mind.
As for whether this speculation can come true, I am afraid we will have to wait until the Lost Lady’s plan completely fails.
This made Brian unconsciously keep a close eye on it, and let it, like a seed, gradually take root and sprout in his heart until it reaches maturity.
“Since your faction is not the one who released the Felin Demon Sunflower, then why did you break into my forbidden area of Everesca?” Master Laurian asked, “Don’t tell me it’s you. As a dossier scholar, he came to my elf’s graveyard to do some archeology because of his curiosity.”
Obviously, even after Brenas said so much and even distanced himself from the relationship, he still couldn’t get the elf. The elder’s trust and slightest favor.
It's like a professional tomb robber going to the burial place of his family ancestors and then claiming that it was just a misunderstanding.
Combined with the other party’s profession, I’m afraid no one would believe it. It’s no wonder Master Laurian is so excited.
Brennas was about to explain, but was interrupted by Brian raising his hand. He didn't want the two of them to chat about this unproductive misunderstanding, so he got back to the point and asked:
"Then Do you know what the purpose of Hajhorna was in stealing another set of Nese scrolls?”
This is also the purpose of his coming to Evereska.
Only by finding the madman Olga Sla who has studied the "Black Forbidden Book" can we learn the true plan of the Lost Lady from her mouth.
In Myth Drannor's Tower of Windsong, Elder Darkasan, who is integrated with the entire tower, told him that if he wanted to find the madman Olgathra, he could only go to Avery ska.
If Brenas had already investigated the results in advance, he would naturally be happy to see them come to fruition.
Master Laurian was obviously a sensible person. When he saw Brian asking questions with a solemn look on his face, and being familiar with the Prince of Shadows, he calmed down and stopped disturbing the conversation between the two. He looked like he was listening quietly,
"I'm not sure either." Brenas shook his head slightly, with a hint of worry in his expression, and explained to the two of them:
"After investigating the Forbidden Wall of Saron and learning that most of the Phaylings had escaped, I returned to the ruins of Harundas City, trying to find any clues from the remaining mage tower, and then I found a The secret door leading to the underground passage came here inexplicably."
After saying this, he looked at the elf mage depressedly and said, "Before I had time to explain, I was caught by this. The elf mage was overwhelmed by the overwhelming magic."
Brian nodded slightly, secretly observed the passage covered by the lavender magic light curtain, and the rich magical energy in the air, and asked Mage Laurian:
"Then what is the purpose of the master coming here? Isn't this magic light curtain shrouding the passage to purify the negative energy released by the Felin Demon Sunflower?"
"Sure enough, there are also Phaylings here." When mentioning the Phaylings, Brenas' expression changed and he murmured to himself:
"No wonder I felt an aura the same as that of the Saron Forbidden Wall in the passage. Judging from this powerful aura, the strength of the Felin Demon Kui who escaped here is probably at least around the high legend, and he has mastered the control of the origin. Power. "
The so-called original power naturally refers to chaotic energy.
From this, Brian can see that the ghost prince Brennus knows the Felin Demon Sunflower better than he does.
In this case, with his help, my next task will be relatively easy.
Then he turned his gaze to Master Laurian beside him, waiting for his explanation.
