Chapter 404 Treasure House
In this dark and silent passage, both Brian and the snake girl beside him could immediately tell that the hoarse and unpleasant scream was the moan of death. It is a vicious curse before the death of life.
The face of the snake girl suddenly changed, and she cried out:
"This voice... is the priest of Isushis! He is a legendary strong man whose strength is second only to the high priest of Abun. Actually died? How did he die? "
No matter how he died, a dead person is a dead person, and it is not worth worrying about.
Brian, who was well aware of this matter, sneered, "What we need to pay attention to now is the guy who killed Isuxis. Bertha, follow me and don't leave."
< br>"No!" The snake girl suddenly turned around, looked at Brian with a stubborn face, and said:
"You must tell me what your real purpose is here, don't talk to me. What is the so-called secret energy core? Without the support of the inner magic network, this secret energy core cannot exert its original power at all. How can it be worth your troubles and risks? "
said. As she spoke, her bright eyes suddenly became more terrifying than a cold poisonous snake, as if she had really turned into an ancient sleeping Saluk witch:
"What are your intentions for me? Or...you hold the secret of the Saluk Witch. The purpose of coming here is to explore the secrets of our creator race. Otherwise, why are you so interested in a little snake like me?"
< br>
"It seems you are not as stupid as you thought." Brian did not expect that the snake girl in front of him was so shrewd, but this was no longer that important to him, because his plan was being implemented smoothly. Possibly interrupted by Seth's clone.
He thought quickly and half-truthfully said to the girl:
"Yes, not only do I hold the secrets of the Saluk witch clan, but I also know the secrets of Istor Where is the ancient city of Orem, the capital of the Sephifer Empire, hidden? The purpose of coming here can be imagined."
After speaking, Brian carefully watched the change in the snake girl's expression.
Anyway, the other party is also the Saluk Wuhu who has awakened his memory. He wants to know how much the snake girl knows about the ancient city of Orem.
"The lost ancient city of Orem?" After hearing Brian's explanation, the snake girl was shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "So that's it, you actually came here for this ancient city that disappeared tens of thousands of years ago. Look, Come on, you must know where it's hidden."
"Okay, now that I've confessed, don't waste time here and follow me quickly," Brian urged impatiently. road.
As he expected, the snakemen in the entire snakeman kingdom, and even the Saruk witch who once slept here, did not know the secrets about the ancient city of Orem, let alone find them. 'Earth Prophet' Asindo.
This shows how deeply the Ethiopian lizards, as the guardian race, have hidden this secret. If he had not brought Seth's holy symbol to the Supreme Glacier, he might have wiped out the entire The lizard race will still return in vain.
He ignored the excited Bertha and the chaotic fighting in the city, and continued walking deeper into the passage.
"Following you?" Looking at Brian's back, the snake girl's face instantly returned to normal, her eyes rolled a few times, and she suddenly made a strange gesture with a playful smile.
A ball of light green light suddenly surrounded her graceful and slender body.
This is not magic, but a psychic power unique to the snake people.
Although Bertha's soul is that of a Saluk witch, her bloodline is that of a snake-man that is very close to a human form. Naturally, she has also mastered some of the supernatural abilities of the snake-people race.
In the hazy halo, the snake girl's graceful and exquisite body began to shrink and deform.
In a few seconds, she turned into a red viper less than half a meter long, squirming up Brian's body and wrapping around his left arm.
Then he stuck out his head, stretched out his bright red tongue and licked Brian's face. It was cold, but it made people feel very comfortable in this tunnel where the air seemed to be on fire.
Brian put the shocking psychic power in his eyes, and looked coldly at the little snake that the snake-man girl transformed into, and the other person just shrank back.
He ignored it and continued his mission here.
In this dark passage, the biting wind blew past him. When light and dark intertwined, Brian's eyes, blessed by visual magic, were able to see even in the deepest darkness. Eyes that clearly distinguish everything around them.
He clearly saw a large number of mutilated corpses of mixed-race snakes and demon snakes lying in the corridor. The light representing life energy was rapidly dissipating from the corpses, turning them black.
Roughly speaking, there were at least thirty such corpses. Unexpectedly, this turmoil even affected the snake guards hidden in the passage.
It can be seen that someone has already arrived here one step ahead of him.
You know, from the moment you heard the brass dragon roaring to the time he entered the tunnel, it only took a few minutes.
In such a short period of time, being able to quietly sneak into the treasure house of the temple and quickly recruit more than thirty snake guards as guards of the most important place in the entire snake tribe, they must all be among the elite. The elites, there is no doubt about this, and the powerful snake-man priests killed them.
In addition, this is a narrow tunnel that can only accommodate two people fighting side by side at most. Two people can do this kind of thing.
Brian estimated that the strength shown by the opponent would definitely not be inferior to his own fighting with all his strength.
Fortunately, what reassured him was that this sudden intruder was an ally rather than an enemy to him, because this was the reinforcement he asked the golden dragon Paralandax to help him.
From the moment he learned that Seth's clone left his thoughts on the Holy Emblem, he realized that he must not be at the mercy of this ancient evil god to help him complete his mission.
So while he was secretly talking to Seth's clone, he let the golden dragon turn into an invisible ghost and left quietly. Then he slowly accumulated strength until he suppressed Seth's thoughts and let him I can't sense what's going on here.
When this power disappears and Seth's clone regains his perception of the outside world, he will most likely have taken away the Myser Energy Core and walked on the road to the ancient city of Orem.
As for why he took the snake girl Bertha with him, in addition to preventing accidents, it was also to serve as a bargaining chip for him to fall out with Seth's clone.
After all, he has seen that Seth's clone not only attaches great importance to the snake girl who has awakened the memory of Saluk Witch, but also plans to train her as his chosen one.
As long as Bertha's life and death are in his own hands, Seth's clone will not dare to make mistakes at will.
Because Seth wants to restore his former divine power, the electorate responsible for gathering faith in the material world is indispensable. Naturally, such an important role cannot be as simple and casual as choosing a wild dog on the roadside. It can be seen from the fact that the snake girl can revive the memory of Saluk Wuhu, this is obviously a long-planned plan when Seth's clone was trapped in the Wuhu spire.
Just waiting for a destined person like him to come and help him complete his mission, he naturally wanted to take it into his own hands.
While thinking, Brian had reached the end of the passage.
What appeared in front of him was a huge and thick door made of something similar to bronze. The door was ajar, and blue-white magic light faintly leaked from behind the door.
Brian stopped suddenly, his expression solemn.
He could feel that in the space behind the door, there was an aura that could only be felt from a strong man whose strength exceeded the limits of mortals.
Brian thought for a moment, then immediately raised his right hand, and as he powerfully recited a spell containing terrifying energy, the powerful force field energy condensed into the "Bigby Diamond Fist" ” Packed with unrivaled power, it bombarded the bronze door in front of it.
"Boom!"
In an instant, the door, which weighed at least ten tons, opened backwards with a muffled sound, as if it had been violently hit by a battering ram.
Immediately afterwards, Brian activated the Grand Arcanist's legendary professional feature "Legendary Arcane Master" without hesitation.
As violent magical energy surged in the air, two barrel-thick scorching lightning bolts suddenly condensed and formed, tearing apart the darkness instantly and sinking into the door.
The bright and dazzling light instantly illuminated the space inside and outside the treasure house into a snowy white, and nothing could be seen.
Facing Brian's attack.
In the treasure house, a vicious sneer followed the harsh and loud sound of metal clashing. The deep voice actually recited a spell that also contained powerful energy with a power that was not inferior to Brian's. .
The invisible blocking force field stood up in the blink of an eye, violently colliding with the two lightning bolts released by Brian.
What surprised Brian was that his lightning, which was enough to kill the legendary warrior instantly, was unable to penetrate the blocking force field that emitted light golden light. It went back and forth several times throughout the room, leaving behind several lightning bolts on the walls and ceiling. Ten scorched black marks appeared, the energy of the lightning was finally exhausted, and the light in the entire space returned to normal levels.
"Lightning? It's this damn boring lightning again!" A sharp and angry voice roared:
"Don't you fools know anything else besides lightning and fireballs? ?”
Brian didn’t have that much nonsense. With a thought, he condensed the nine-ring energy-shaping spell "Ice Fury Explosion" into a wide ice sword through the arcane shaping properties, which flickered to the point of speaking. The person approached and faced the door mercilessly.
“Bang!”
The ice giant sword shining with a deep blue light collided with a trident that hurriedly resisted, and suddenly exploded.
Cold blue-white energy, centered on Brian's right hand holding the sword, spewed out like a volcanic eruption, freezing everything around him in an instant, turning it into a vast expanse of white.
The tall figure who was attacked by Brian looked shocked. Although he used the snake's flexible body to deflect the frontal jet of ice energy in time, he was still brushed by the frost so that his entire body was A thin layer of frost had condensed on it, and the thick snake tail was frozen to the ground, making it difficult to move.
Brian was about to pursue victory when he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Brian, stop it!"
In this kind of life-and-death struggle, if someone really gives up just because of the other person's words , then he is either a fool or an idiot, and Brian is naturally neither.
However, what Brian didn't expect was that Seth's avatar hidden in the Holy Emblem actually broke through the seal he had imposed on Him at this time, and shouted coldly in an old voice: "Stop now, do you want to destroy Myser?" Can you nuclear?"
Hearing this, Brian stopped the spell he was about to prepare in time, glanced at the snake priest who had recovered from the frost state, used a flash technique, and retreated cleanly. .
"Hey, it's actually a snake man?" The embarrassed snake man priest who was attacked by Brian first looked at Brian in surprise, who had not yet released his transformation state, then paused suddenly for a few seconds, and then spit out scarlet blood. Snake Xin asked sharply and loudly:
"You are not my snake man from Salukda, who are you?"
The surprise of the snake man priest somewhat eased the tense atmosphere in the room. , the war that had been ignited was temporarily extinguished under this situation where everyone had their own concerns.
Brian did not pay attention to the snake-man priest immediately, but carefully examined it. He saw more than a dozen blue-white magic light balls suspended in the air, illuminating the entire treasure house.
The area here is not too spacious, only about a hundred square meters. A large number of gold coins and various gems are piled haphazardly on the ground. On the weapon racks erected next to the wall, there are a dazzling array of weapons hanging on them. There are hundreds of precious magical weapons and armors, but unfortunately most of them were destroyed in the fierce battle.
But the most eye-catching thing is that it is placed among these priceless treasures. The most important secret treasure passed down from the ancient Netheril era to this day is the Mysel Energy Core that Brian wants to get. .
This huge transparent crystal ball with an exquisite pure mithril base, about fifty meters in diameter, and occupying almost half of the room, is undoubtedly the Mithra energy core.
Although it is still in a silent state, it has not been activated to exert its real effect.
However, it seems to be always shrouded in a mysterious light, making it impossible for anyone to take their eyes away from it easily.
The Miser Energy Core is naturally very important to Brian, because it is his strategic equipment for the next battle against Feilin Mokui.
Then, Brian calmed down, and under the instructions of Seth's clone, he waved his hand. Under the influence of divine power, this huge Mysel energy core suddenly became smaller and smaller, and then just like that, it appeared in front of everyone. Under the stunned gaze, he was transported to another dimension.
"This is a promise I have fulfilled." The slightly chilly old voice of Seth's avatar was transmitted to Brian's mind through the Holy Emblem, "Now, should you explain something to me?"
Obviously, although he was temporarily blocked from external perception by Brian, as a former ancient evil god, he quickly figured out what had just happened the moment after he recovered.
