Chapter 430 The City of the Great Seal
“I would like to hear the details.” Brian stopped talking nonsense and directly asked Seth about the news about the seven artifacts of Imasca.
In the information he has, he still has some understanding of the traces of these artifacts, but these are basically legends and there is no conclusive evidence at all.
So his purpose in asking this ancient evil god was just to verify the authenticity of the legend, but he did not really want to search according to his instructions, or even let him manipulate and use him.
Seeing the other party's interested look, Seth no longer concealed anything. He thought about it secretly and began to tell him about the whereabouts of the seven artifacts.
"Do you know anything about the Karatu continent in the east?" He asked directly after finishing his words.
"Of course I understand." Hearing the other party mention the Karatu continent, Brian vaguely guessed what Seth wanted to say, which made him realize that the only thing he knew about Imasca Seven One of the artifacts, the most detailed legend, is probably true.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you don't understand, I will ask directly." He urged, pretending to be impatient.
Seth was not angry about Brian's attitude. After all, in his opinion, the more eager the other party was to know the whereabouts of these artifacts, the more opportunities he would have to use him to deal with Mulho. Rand pantheon.
He told Brian leisurely:
"In 1374 BC in the Xianglong calendar, an artificer named Chen Tan accidentally unearthed the Book of Tan Flame, one of the seven artifacts, from the ruins of Imasca. After mastering the knowledge in the book, his strength greatly increased. , not only assassinated Queen Sapphire of the Xianglong Empire, but also seized her throne. Finally, under the leadership of the sage Shi Zhi, an uprising broke out against Chen Tan and drove the emperor away from Meilan City."
"Then what?" Brian nodded secretly. The information the other party had was not much different from the legend he had heard, and the next step was the key to confirm whether the news was true.
“Chen Tan escaped with severe injuries, returned to the Luohu Desert, transformed into a lich, and began to search for other lost Imasca artifacts in order to complete his revenge.”
The Luohu Desert was historically the core area of the Imaskar Empire, but it was destroyed in the war between the empire, the Unther gods, and the Mulhorand pantheon.
The endless desert and harsh living environment forced the survivors to migrate westward.
Today, all that is left in the desert is gravel and sandy wasteland, which are the habitats of brass dragons and blue dragons. In addition, there are also a large number of efreets wandering here.
Seeing Brian listening carefully, Seth continued, "This desert not only buries a large number of powerful artifacts, but also hides the largest temple of the evil god Seth, and Chen Tan is hiding in the temple. Deep underground, even the strong men of the Church of Set don’t know about it.”
This is not what Seth said deliberately in order to get Brian to help him deal with the Mulhorand divine system. But fact.
It is precisely because of this reason that he deliberately told the other party the whereabouts of the artifact with the clearest trace, and then he could guide Brian step by step into his plan and assist him Against the Mulhorandian pantheon.
This lich named Chen Tan is also one of the candidates he uses to deal with the evil god Set.
'Sure enough. ’
Hearing Seth’s claim that Chen Tan was hiding behind the Temple of Set, Brian suddenly showed a look of astonishment. This meant that the legends he had heard in the game world were true.
"Where is Seth's temple?" He asked Seth with a deliberately impatient expression.
Seeing that Brian had successfully attracted attention by his news, Seth nodded secretly, but he was quite disdainful in his heart. He also thought with disdain: The spellcasters in the material world are indeed the most greedy.
This was the case with the Imasca Empire in the past. When the empire fell, so were the great arcanists who came to watch in their floating cities. Even the elf mages were no exception.
Always remember to eat and not to fight.
Faced with Brian's question, He said in a slightly cold tone, "Do you think I should tell the answer to the question at this time?"
"Of course not." Ryan seemed to have expected that the other party would say this. He said without paying attention, "If it were me, I wouldn't know it either."
"But..." He pondered for a moment and said with a half-smile. :
“Just this piece of news wants to impress me and let me cooperate with you. Do you think it’s possible? After all, this is the largest temple of the evil god Seth in the material world. I don’t want to end up becoming your tools”
In fact, when he learned that Chen Tan was hiding in the Temple of Seth, he was too lazy to listen to Seth's deliberately misleading words.
Because as a time traveler, he not only knew where Set’s temple was hidden, but also knew that the lich Chen Tan had assembled a team of constructs and immortals in the destroyed city of Imasca, Sauron. The army composed of creatures used powerful magic from that ancient empire to destroy Set's temple, and even marched eastward, trying to conquer the Xianglong Empire.
The only thing he is not sure about is whether Chen Tan really has one of the seven artifacts in his body.
Now that he has received a positive answer from Seth, he can wait until he has a certain level of strength, then go directly to the Luohu Desert, and kill Lich Chen Tan while he is still young. , to seize his artifact.
There is no need to establish a relationship with Seth's power in order to obtain the artifact.
Of course, if this matter accidentally involves the evil god Seth and has an intersection with him, he doesn't mind using his ability to foresee and make good use of Seth to let the old enemies fight back and forth, while he You can completely hide in the dark and fish in confusion.
I just don’t know if Seth’s thoughts hidden in the holy symbol also think so.
Of course Seth thought so too.
As a true god, although He can use his own ability to see through at a glance that Brian belongs to people other than destiny, and is especially good at interfering with certain historical processes, He does not know that Brian is prophetic. ability.
Seeing that Brian had successfully attracted his attention, he continued:
"Of course I know that it is impossible for you to cooperate with me based on this message alone, but the following message will be given to you for free as my sincerity for cooperation."
"Oh?" Brian became interested. This time he was not pretending, but really wanted to know about other artifacts besides Chen Tan.
“What I’m talking about is a city of Imasca that still exists today.” Seth said in an old voice, unhurriedly:
“Listen clearly, this is not What remains of the Imasca Empire, a city that was occupied by latecomers, is a city built by a few surviving Imasca people after the demise of Imasca.”
Hearing this, Brian's expression of surprise was undisguised.
He really didn't expect that he would be able to get such exciting news from Seth. This was really an unexpected gain. However, he quickly calmed down.
News is news, and one must have a life to verify its authenticity.
Since this city founded by the Imaskans can exist to this day and has never been discovered by anyone, it proves its power and mystery.
Obviously, it is definitely not an existence that he can easily set foot on.
"Many people believe that the mechanical empire Imasca civilization was destroyed thousands of years ago, but in fact, a few survivors of the Imasca people fled to the dark areas far away from the ground and established the underground Imasca Card City, also known as the Great Seal City, is used to protect itself and future generations."
Seth told him: "They used powerful magic to hide this city, so it has been hidden for the past four thousand years. , the residents of Faerûn did not know their existence.
Ten years ago, in order to find allies against the Mulhorand pantheon, I accidentally discovered Imas when I spread my divine power to the Underdark. The great seal that separated the Ka people from the outside world has failed.
Despite this, the underground Imaskar people still avoid contact with the outside world, but the city occasionally sends spies to the outside world. The most reliable person who can keep secrets best, just in case the memory of the location of his hometown has been removed from his brain."
"As a token of my sincerity for this cooperation, I will remove the city of Imasca. The specific location in the Underdark tells you that there must be no force in the main material world that knows their former artifact better than the Imaskans. As for whether you can obtain it, it all depends on your own luck. "
"Let me state in advance that apart from my obsession with restoring my own divine power, I have no interest in any foreign objects. If you know that you are defeated, we can completely cooperate in depth." Seth made the final addition. At the same time, he made it clear directly that he wanted to cooperate with Brian.
In his opinion, most conspiracies are more convincing if they are not stated directly.
As a god, he knows deeply that with Brian's current ability, let alone going to the city of Imasca in the Dark Region to obtain their artifacts, he may not even be able to reach the Temple of Set. Can't pass.
Only choosing to cooperate with Him is the wisest choice. He knows that the other person is a smart person and can make the most correct choice.
"Then I would like to thank you for your generous gift." Brian naturally knew what Seth had planned. He had learned from the past, how could he heal so quickly and forget about the pain? Shaanpi started a second cooperation with Him.
He said with a smile, "As for how to find these things, you don't need to worry about it. I know it well."
Seth obviously knew what Brian's answer was.
If the other party nods and agrees without hesitation, it will surprise him and even consider whether to accept it.
Afterwards, he told the other party the detailed location of Imasca City.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of the other party and the possibility of future cooperation, Seth naturally told the truth about everything he knew. As for whether the other party could be found, or whether he would be affected by the hostile Yi The Masca people welcome it, so that's not something He needs to worry about.
According to the information he has, it is known that the underground city of Imasca is ruled by a supreme decision-making officer, Artillery Master Iris Kendyne, whose strength is a high-level legend.
He governs the entire city through an organization of mages called "Decision Makers". These mages are responsible for discussing the government's long-term policies and the city's development plan.
The other two high-level legendary powerhouses, Juba Setisema and Executive Officer Ms. Freema Serofan, directly serve the highest decision-making officer.
The Guardian oversees the city's information and resources, and his men are also responsible for the magical defense of the entire city.
The Executor is responsible for carrying out the orders issued by the Supreme Decision-maker, and her department is also responsible for formulating the city's laws.
Although the top decision-maker has supreme power, if both the Watcher and the Executive do not agree with his decision, they can make it impossible to implement his order through overt and covert means.
City government has been free from corruption for more than six hundred years.
However, recent events have plunged the three rulers into a dispute.
The highest decision-making officer is completely opposed to opening the underground city of Imasca, and does not agree to send the underground Imasca people into the outside world.
However, the wind-watching envoy Yuba Setisema felt that it was time to turn the city's attention to the outside world.
With Lady Serofan's tacit approval, he opened the seal and sent spies into the Underdark.
Seth will naturally not tell Brian this news. He will stay patiently at the Witch Spire on the Chultan Peninsula, waiting for the other party to suffer setbacks in the Temple of Set and the city of Imasca. , if you are still obsessed with these legendary seven artifacts, they will take the initiative to deliver them to your door.
At that time, He once again began to plan a series of plans against the Mulhorandian pantheon.
“It’s actually in the Dark Territory?” After getting the detailed location of Imasca City from Seth, Brian showed a surprised expression.
As a time traveler, after personally experiencing the major event in the game world where the demon lords of the bottomless abyss used the Underdark as a copy, he also gained a deep understanding of the underground world. understanding.
But even so, he didn't know anything about the city of Imasca hidden underground.
This shows how deeply hidden this city is.
In this case, he felt that when the incarnations of the demon lords of the Abyss came to the Underdark, he might be able to take advantage of the chaos and find an opportunity to sneak into the city and test it secretly.
After deciding on his future plan, Brian stopped talking nonsense to Seth and left the room directly, heading towards the deepest part of the lost city.
After all, his main purpose of coming here is to find the 'Earth Prophet' Asindo.
I have been delayed here for so long, so I can't let it go to waste anymore.
Fortunately for Brian, after the magic circle used to confine the space in the room was broken, he did not receive any magical communication about the Harper leader Storm.
This means that the dark rituals carried out by the followers of the Lost Lady on the Shadow Coast have not yet begun.
