Chapter 410 The Lost City
In just a few minutes, he crossed the thick rock formations, escaped from the underground mines, floated up to the highest glacier, and reached the sky above the Eno Oak Desert.
But the tunnel exit is not here. It extends straight to the southeast, seemingly endless.
Everything seems like a dream, and people can't tell whether it is true or false.
Here, time, space, distance and other factors have all lost the meaning that the residents of the Prime Material Realm are usually familiar with.
Brian could vaguely see that in the rapidly changing scenery beneath his feet, forests, rivers, and mountains were constantly intertwined.
In an instant, a vast expanse of yellow sand appeared in front of us.
The Great Sand Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, occupying the horizon to the southeast, northwest, and no matter which direction you look at, they are all unchanged sand dunes.
“This is already the Eno Oak Desert.” Brian said politely to the Brass Dragon and Storm beside him, “Thank you both for your help, let’s separate here.”
After many twists and turns, he finally found the location of the ancient city Orem City. How could he give up so easily.
After all, this is related to whether he can obtain another complete set of Nese scrolls.
Hearing this, the leader of the Harpers, Storm, nodded slightly, then flipped up the ends of his hair that were blown by the wind, looked worriedly in the direction of the Shadow Sea, and said in a soft tone:
"I understand, you can feel free to look for traces of the Earth Prophet. Before going to the Snake City, I have already contacted my sister Xinbu. I will be in charge of the Lost Lady Church, even if I try hard I will try my best to hold you back until you bring back the Holy Grail of Amaunata, and never let the Lost Lady’s conspiracy succeed.”
Hearing this, Brian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He is still somewhat self-aware of his own strength.
If he were left to face the Church of the Lost Lady alone, as well as the cultists and the Phaylings who were performing dark rituals, he would naturally not risk his life.
Although the Shar Church belonging to the City of Shade has been almost exhausted in the previous battles, as well as the Shade Princes, the Shar Church still has huge power hidden in the entire main material plane.
What makes Brian quite fearful is the ‘Black Veil’ Illyriel, who once had a relationship with him.
As the spokesperson of the lost lady Shar in the material world, Illyriel is the most powerful existence that is most difficult for him to see through.
Even in the game world of his previous life, he had only heard of the other party's name and approximate origin.
Although this mysterious woman has never appeared since the Lost Lady targeted the Goddess of Magic, Brian was able to clearly detect that the other party was the most secretive manipulator besides Shar.
In this series of plans, whether it is the Shadow Plane of Guangze, the fall of Shadow Valley, or the Nese Scroll lost by Myth Drannor, I am afraid that Illyriel secretly planned it. result.
Furthermore, the opponent's powerful strength allowed him to evacuate unharmed even when faced with a furious Xinbu. This was something Brian could not compare with.
If he really encounters this difficult enemy in his next plan, then with his current strength, he will have no choice but to escape.
So, this kind of enemy should be left to the voters of the magic goddess Mystra to deal with.
Just when Brian was about to leave, Storm seemed to remember something again. His beautiful eyes as bright as stars flickered a few times, and then he said in a solemn tone: "Mr. Brian, do you still remember that Miss Lost once left behind in the material plane?" The incarnation with the power of shadow."
"How could I forget this?" Brian immediately understood what the other party wanted to say, and asked quickly, "Have you already found her. "
It is said that in the Year of Turmoil, the God of Thieves, Mask, was hunted by the Chaos Demon Dog. In order to survive, he voluntarily gave up the thief and thief priesthoods he created, but he never thought that only the shadow priesthood would remain. The original body was unexpectedly lost and imprisoned by the lady, and was remade into the God-killing Sword.
Two-thirds of the divine power contained in the God-killing Sword was absorbed by the seeds placed in the material world by the Lost Lady in advance, namely the Shadow Guard assassin Crysanna, and the rest was absorbed by Reva, the great prince of the City of Ghosts. Lan got it.
In the end, after Revalan was killed by Brian, this part of the divine power was imprisoned again by him.
But Crysanna, the incarnation of the Lost Lady with the power of shadow, has always been stuck in the material world and disappeared without a trace.
So, after Brian learned that Storm had mentioned this issue to him, he couldn't wait to ask.
Compared to ‘Black Veil’ Illyriel, this incarnation is the most terrifying threat at the moment.
If he met Illyriel, Brian might still be confident that he could escape with his own strength, but when he met her, he really couldn't figure out how to escape.
Even if he has the cloning technique or the ability of a psychic to plant the seeds of rebirth in the star world, he has no confidence that he can be resurrected and live a second life.
"Even if I mobilized all the forces in the intelligence network, I still can't find any trace of her." Feng Feng shook his head helplessly:
"After all, she is the incarnation of the Lost Lady, and she is the goddess in charge of secrets. Now that she has obtained part of the shadow priesthood, it is easy to hide her traces. As long as she is willing, she can even kill any legendary professional in the material world with her own strength."
"But she does not "I didn't do that." Brian picked up the key points and said calmly, "Obviously, she is probably worried about something, so why did you mention her to me?"
Disappointment? What is the lady's incarnation worried about?
In fact, this question is easy to guess. Brian raised his head and looked at the bright moonlight pouring down in the clear night sky. The answer is self-evident.
"Although I didn't find any trace of her, I roughly know that at a critical moment, she will definitely appear somewhere in the Eno Oak Desert to ensure that the plan is completed more smoothly." Storm told Brian, "So, You have to be more careful."
"How should I be careful..." Brian asked helplessly, "In front of her, I'm afraid I don't even have any hope of escaping, and I can only let the goddess of luck take care of me. I pray that she won’t fix her eyes on me.”
“That’s true.” Feng Feng nodded slightly, with a smile on his lips, and reminded:
“But, what if. If you really encounter it, maybe some of the power of the shadow priest in your hand can have unexpected effects."
"Is this true?" Brian looked surprised when he heard this. His ideas coincided with his own, which meant that it was really possible to succeed. "I can't guarantee it." Feng Feng frowned and said, "It's just a conclusion based on my unilateral speculation. Whether it is true or not, I'm afraid I won't know until I try it."
"Then I'd rather not try." Brian smiled and shrugged.
Although he said that, he already believed it.
This made him hide deep in his heart, and his most worrying things disappeared.
Then, after Brian briefly talked to Storm about some precautions regarding the dark rituals held by the Church of the Lost Lady, he stopped wasting time and prepared to leave.
"Hey! Don't leave, what about me? What do you want me to do next?" As if he had long been forgotten, the brass dragon suddenly flapped its wings, raising a burst of sand and dust, brushing away its sense of presence. "It's such a fun thing, why didn't you arrange some tasks for me? This is too disrespectful to me."
"Aren't you going to Orem City where the Earth Prophet is hiding? , there must be many ancient racial treasures buried there, let me go with you, so that I can easily protect your safety, how about it?" The brass dragon lowered his huge head in front of Brian, winking funny, Ask for his advice.
“I appreciate your kindness.” Brian refused:
“I think it’s better to forget it. If you really want to help us, I suggest you talk to Ms. Storm. Let’s go to the Shadow Coast together. As far as I know, in order to perform this terrifying dark ritual, the Church of the Lost Lady collected all the wealth of the entire church and piled it there, especially the sparkling gems..."
"Really?" The Brass Dragon's attention was immediately attracted:
"Then I'd better go with Ms. Storm. After all, the space in the underground world is too small. I worry about hitting my head when I fly, which seriously affects my strength. The desert is my home ground. I can show my strongest strength in battle. "
Looking at the brass dragon, whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, flapping its wings and flying towards the Shadow Sea with the storm, Brian smiled and opened a portal. , disappeared in place.
After a while, the world was spinning, and he appeared again in the huge cave in the ruins of the snake city.
Rather than saying this is a city ruins, it might as well be called a solidified magma sea.
At this moment, this underground volcano has stopped erupting long ago, and the spewing magma solidifies at an extremely fast speed under the cold temperature of the highest glacier.
Looking at all this, Brian suddenly thought that building the floating city would not require a large amount of obsidian, as it was a readily available raw material.
So, he immediately secretly made a plan to develop this place into a factory for making obsidian after the mission was over.
“It’s strange that the snake girl who turned into a Saruk witch did not appear here.” The thought of the golden dragon Paralandax sounded in Brian’s mind, “This makes us How to find the location of Orem City?"
"It doesn't matter." Brian took out the holy emblem engraved with a snake pattern and said nonchalantly, "If you can run away, you can't run away from the temple. Ruke Wuhu is gone, but at least he is still here."
He was too lazy to explain to Jinlong what a monk was and what a temple was, and immediately transmitted his thoughts to the holy symbol in his palm, "Seth. Your Excellency, how long are you going to remain silent? Don’t forget our original agreement. Are you trying to break up?”
After a long time, the old voice of Seth's clone came out of the Holy Emblem, "Of course I won't, but your actions have forced me to consider whether we should continue to cooperate."
"If you hadn't called your allies to wreak havoc in this city without my permission." There was a trace of uncontrollable anger in his words, "It would have been impossible to detonate the volcano deep underground and destroy the entire city. Including the death of all the snake people here, how should you explain it?"
"I think you misunderstood something," Brian said coldly:
"What if I called for reinforcements? If you are not the chosen one of the goddess of magic, you may have died under the trident of Marshak's incarnation long ago. As a bystander, how should you explain it? "
From the Release of the Snake Girl? , he saw the evil intentions hidden in Seth's clone.
The other party deliberately showed his identity to Marshak's incarnation and gave it the illusion that he was Seth's clone, so that Marshak's incarnation did not hesitate to activate the divine power field and kill him on the spot.
At that time, if Storm, who was the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, had not directly used the silver fire to summon a wild magical energy from the depths of the magic network, facing the divine shock wave, even if Brian was lucky enough to survive, he would still have to die. Pay a heavy price.
So after learning about the trick of Seth's clone, he planned to wait for the battle to end, directly detonate the volcano deep underground, and let all these snake people be buried with the incarnation of the snake god.
Unexpectedly, the underground volcano was accidentally detonated by the powerful force erupted by the incarnation of Marshak, causing all the long-planned plans of Seth's clone to come to nothing.
"In this case, there is no need for cooperation between us." Seth's clone said in the same indifferent tone, "There is no Amaunata Holy Grail of the Earth Prophet. I would like to see what you guys do. How to stop the Lost Lady from replacing the Dark Ritual of the Weave."
"I don't know how to stop the dark ritual." Brian's words were full of threats:
"But I know that even if the Shadow Demonic Network replaces the Demonic Network, I will be able to survive unharmed. When the time comes, I will definitely go to Mulhorand in person. Believe me, if the chosen people of Set know the location of the Witch Spire, he will definitely be like the incarnation of Marshak, and he will not hesitate to spend his divine power to descend the incarnation. To completely eliminate you, you may even face the entire Mulhorand God System. With just your clone, you will only end up being hung up and hammered by the opponent."
"If I. You guessed it right..." Brian looked around and said with profound words, "The reason why your chosen one left here is probably to hide the location of the Witch Spire in Chult Jungle as soon as possible."
"Do you think you can really hide it completely from the eyes of the father of dinosaurs?"
What a joke, when the snake people here are completely wiped out, Brian won't I believe that Seth's clone will retract into the Wuji Spire obediently.
I'm afraid that at this moment, he is more anxious to go to Orem City than he is.
As for the matter of informing Mulhorand’s pantheon, it was all nonsense, because Brian had no means of finding the Witch Spire again.
"You..." Seth's clone was threatened by Brian and was so angry that he didn't know how to speak.
Although he was confident that it was impossible to find the location of the Witch Spire with Brian's ability alone, he did not dare to take this risk because he was not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.
After all, I only have one clone left. If it is discovered and eliminated by my mortal enemy Set, it will mean that the ancient god of the Saluk Wuhu period has completely fallen.
Therefore, without the support of the snake people's faith, he could only go to Orem City and try to persuade the group of sleeping Saruk witches to help him.
As for the words that threatened Brian not to go to Orem City, they were just to scare him out of anger.
In fact, He is eager to go to Orem City more than anyone else, eager to get the support of this group of ancient races.
"Let's go." After a long time, Seth's clone pretended to struggle in his heart for a long time, and then slowly said, "I will open the seal right now and take you to the Lost City."
