Chapter 434 The Story of the Earth Prophet
Originally Brian thought this artifact was a scepter in the Saluk witchcraft, symbolizing power and status, but when Asindo passed it through the guiding magic, When it was delivered to Seth, he discovered that this artifact, shrouded in divine glory, was actually a trident.
I saw three carved snakes cast from unknown materials, spiraling around the handle of the trident. Finally, three lifelike snake heads intersected at the top, forming such a powerful piece. equipment.
In the divine light exuding, these three lifelike carved snakes seem to be alive, especially the three snake heads at the tips, and the cold snake pupils are obviously exuding full of vitality and nobility. And the majesty makes people dare not look directly at it.
Even Brian had to avoid its edge.
It's not like he has never seen an artifact before. When he was in the Valley of Shadows, Azuth, the God of Mage, gave him an artifact: the Staff of the Archmage.
He can still vividly recall the terrifying divine energy he felt when he first saw this artifact that was coveted by countless spellcasters.
The most important thing is that under the influence of this divine power that symbolizes magic, he can clearly feel that the arcane fire in his body is like boiling water, boiling violently, making He almost failed to suppress this violent magical energy.
But this time was the second time that Brian felt the powerful power of another artifact at such a close range.
Although his reaction after seeing this artifact was not as shocking as when he saw the Archmage's Staff, Brian was keenly aware that there was a vast and boundless power hidden in it.
There was even an unknown energy that attracted him deeply, making him uncontrollably want to hold this trident artifact in his hands to feel this power.
Of course, even though he longed for this power in his heart, he still forcibly suppressed the rush and watched it slowly fall into Seth's palm.
"What kind of power is it that has such a strong attraction for me?" Seeing that the artifact was in Seth's hands, Brian couldn't help but mutter to himself.
“Does this need to be said?” The thought of the golden dragon Paralandax rang in Brian’s mind, “Have you forgotten the names of the Saluk witch and the snake of the universe?”
The Creator Race and the Serpent of Creation.
After Jin Long reminded him, Brian instantly understood what he wanted to express.
Obviously, it is very likely that there is a complete law of creation hidden in this trident. If he obtains this artifact, maybe it is only a matter of time before he understands this law.
You must know that although the creative realm was one of the three major fields of arcanists during the Netheril era, there are only a handful of great arcanists who truly specialize in the creative field and have elevated their strength to the legendary realm. number.
The main reason is that there is too little knowledge about the creative field in the Nese scrolls. Even if Brian collects all fifty Nese scrolls, he will only rely on the system to gain achievements and himself. With his talent, it may be very difficult to take a step further.
But he had to do this. After all, whether it was his arcanist field or the psion field, he chose creation.
The main reason why he chose this field in the first place was that except for the banned law of time, other laws were simply incomparable to the law of creation.
Even the few creative spells in the eight schools of wizards are only classified into the school of conjuration, rather than being divided into a separate school.
What he values is the depth and breadth of the creative field.
However, as his strength improved, he gradually realized what kind of path he had chosen.
Even though he studied magical knowledge about the field of creation day and night, he did not fail to see that he had made significant progress in this field.
Not to mention the improvement of the law of creation, even partial information, or even expertise and characteristics related to creation, were not obtained.
This shows how difficult this field is.
Otherwise, he would not have become so excited after seeing the complete law of creation hidden in the trident held by Seth.
Of course, he was excited, but he also knew that this thing did not belong to him at all. It would be impossible to snatch it with hard power, unless the other party showed mercy and was willing to lend this artifact. Give him a few days to play with.
The only thing that puzzled Brian was how this trident was cast in the first place, and how it was able to inject a complete set of creative laws into it.
Even a god with powerful divine power may not be able to accomplish such a terrifying method easily.
“I thought that this artifact had been completely destroyed with the demise of the Wuhu Empire. I didn’t expect that it was not only passed down, but also preserved so completely.” The thoughts of the Golden Dragon Palalandask With a sigh, "It is indeed an artifact that symbolizes the three great empires of Saluk, Wu and Yu. Just by observing it from a distance, you can feel the vast and terrifying energy hidden in it. This kind of foundation is probably unique to any race." It’s hard to compare with it.”
Listening to Paralandax’s sigh, Brian nodded secretly.
After all, the Saluk Witch once had the strength to compete with the Spellweaver Organization, known as the 'Interstellar Colonist', and in the end this powerful organization was indirectly wiped out.
It is no wonder that the Saluk witch will perish. If the creator race does not withdraw from the stage of history, not to mention other races, even the elves led by the refugee leader Corellon may not have a place to survive.
This is like the dinosaurs of the Jurassic era in the real world. These behemoths once pressed the earth's mammals to the ground and rubbed them wildly, but in the end they ushered in catastrophic destruction due to various factors.
The so-called desire of the evil god Seth to resurrect the glory of the creator race, the Saluk witch, is as unrealistic as some scientists on the earth want to resurrect the dinosaurs of the Jurassic era.
It’s no wonder that ‘Earth Prophet’ Arcindor would simply choose to lie down. Unless the world changes drastically and the entire world of Toril faces a disaster similar to the mass extinction of life, and the rules are reshaped, maybe they These sleeping witches will have a chance to stand up.
"Since I have already obtained this thing, there is no point in my staying here." Just as Brian was thinking about it, Seth handed over this trident that exuded a faint divine brilliance. Put it away.
Then, he turned to look at Brian and said meaningfully, "Although there have been many misunderstandings between the two of us, for the sake of our possible future cooperation, I will continue to follow our original instructions. fulfill my promise to you”
‘What a misunderstanding. ’
Brian thought to himself, after all, this misunderstanding was so deep that he was almost killed by Him, and the other party’s plan that had been planned for thousands of years was completely destroyed by him.
Of course, although he thinks so in his heart, he still has to pretend. He smiled and said to Seth's incarnation, "Your Excellency has indeed kept his promise. This is indeed a good start. Of course, I also hope that we will have the opportunity to continue to cooperate."
"According to our original agreement, if you help me awaken the shamans sleeping in the Eno Oak Desert, I will enlighten these equipments for you after you forge the Creator Suit."
"That's right." Brian nodded slightly. This was the agreement he had reached with the other party, but he didn't expect that so many things would happen in the process.
"I will fulfill this promise." Seth said, "The premise is that you can cast this set of equipment as soon as possible, or in other words, cast it before I may fall, and you will Pray that I can get it longer."
"Then I would rather pray that I can collect the materials to make this set of equipment as soon as possible," Brian said. "Don't worry, I will do it before you die. Cast it all."
In response to Brian's teasing, Seth snorted, looked at the other person deeply, and suddenly a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, persuading Asindo to help him was just a sudden attempt by him. The real purpose was to take away this artifact that he had made at the expense of huge divine power.
Incidentally, He also used his ability to control the artifact to secretly reveal to Brian the laws of creation contained within.
The purpose is to completely attract his attention.
After all, from the first time he met the other party, he had already seen that Brian was a great arcanist and psychic who was proficient in the field of creation.
Although his choice seems very far-sighted, the cruel reality is that it is impossible for him to understand the complete law of creation in this world where the rules have changed drastically.
After all, the world of Toril has been created for tens of thousands of years. Most of the creative power left in the material world in the Thunder Age has been absorbed by Saluk Wuhu, and the rest is Divided up by the Baz Demon Fish and the Ayili Bird Tribe.
He believed that after he showed Brian the law of creation contained in the trident, he had taken the absolute initiative. As long as he used this artifact to hang him, he was not afraid that he would not help him deal with the Mulhorand divine system.
Then, Seth's incarnation turned into a light golden light without hesitation, and disappeared into the spacious hall together with the Holy Emblem.
“Why didn’t you keep that Holy Emblem?” Seeing Seth leaving, Paralandax asked doubtfully, “Anyway, this is also a legendary piece of equipment. It can have a multiplier effect on any level of scaly creatures."
"And then? Are you being monitored by the other party all the time?" Brian asked, "Even if the chance is slim. , I would rather not have this trouble."
Then he stopped talking nonsense and looked up at the 'Earth Prophet' Asindo who was slowly sitting on the throne.
Before Brian could speak, the other party spoke first.
"Young man, you have helped me." Asindo looked at Brian with soft eyes and said softly: "If you hadn't hindered Seth's plan, the entire Orem City would have been sleeping. The tribesmen may be controlled by Him.”
“So I choose not to embarrass you and am willing to give you Amaunata’s Holy Grail.” He paused and said meaningfully. But before I give the Holy Grail to you, I hope you can patiently listen to me tell a long story."
Brian was slightly startled, not understanding what the other party meant, but he still responded respectfully. He said, "I would like to hear the details, Your Excellency Asindo."
After receiving the permission, 'Earth Prophet' Asindo's deep and inexplicable sad tone slowly echoed throughout the hall. .
About half an hour later, Brian finally came to his senses from Asindo's story. When he looked at him, there were all kinds of inexplicable things and disbelief in his eyes...
Unexpectedly What Asindo told him turned out to be the story of the ancient death god Yeager.
From the other party's story, Brian accidentally learned a secret about Yeager that he found incredible, or a bit ridiculous.
Asindor actually told him that during the Netheril period, the powerful god of death, Yeager, was also facing the day when his life span would be exhausted and he would die of old age.
When Brian heard this, he didn't believe it, but seeing the serious look on the other person's face, he didn't think it was nonsense at all, which made him embarrassed to interrupt.
Why does the so-called immortal god Yeager also die of old age? Asindo’s explanation is that although Yeager possesses divinity, there is a problem with his ascension to the gods. Probably there is still a certain amount of mortal nature left. What is it specifically? Even Asindo doesn’t know the situation.
He only knew that in order to solve this problem, Yeager came up with a new version of the Spellweaver's God Ascension Ceremony.
The expected effect of this ritual is to allow Jaeger to be reincarnated into multiple Netherese humans, becoming "human gods" with the consciousness and memories of the Spellweaver.
But the average Netherian arcanist cannot perform this kind of spell. He needs to find a genius, an extremely powerful arcanist genius.
Finally, Yeager began to select suitable candidates among the most powerful Grand Arcanists in Netheril to bear part of his divine power, and let these people become his holy champions.
In the Year of the Rain (-696 DR), Yeager selected the infant Karthus, the famous great arcanist Iolum, and ten other people with powerful magical talents and potential.
Including Alisa Jonnis, Sarah Gunter Bell and Ella Linda.
With the secret help of Jaeger, the magical attainments of these chosen ones improved rapidly, and the strength of these young arcanists soon became equal to that of Iolum.
Even Karthus became the Grand Arcanist smoothly.
At this time, Asindo noticed that something was wrong with Ka Fool, so he advised Karsus to read more golden scrolls, learn some new knowledge, and broaden his research horizons.
Karsus did intend to do this, but Jaeger, who was plotting secretly, naturally did not allow anyone to ruin his plan.
So, Yeager asked his church to take action and arrange the golden scroll clearly.
This incident is narrated in the official history, but the identity of the thief and the reason for destroying the scroll were not named.
