Chapter 481 Phantom (Changed)
Brian is still very clear about the information about Elminster.
It is said that when Elminster was only a few years old, his father suffered a tragedy and was mercilessly killed by a powerful mage lord, which reduced him to the Kingdom of Aslanta. an exiled prince.
Due to the brutal slaughter of his relatives and the various crimes committed by magic users, Elminster harbors a deep hatred for magic and spellcasters.
During this period of wandering, he once got involved in the world of robbers and thieves, and then wandered around the world as a thief.
However, fate took a turn for the worse. At a turning point, Mystra, the God of Magic, appeared in person in front of Elminster, revealing to him a new path - learning magic and paying devout respect to the God of Magic.
Not long after, an unexpected change occurred. Mystra used her supreme power to transform Elminster into a daughter.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to deepen his understanding of magic and experience the life of female characters. This change gives him a unique advantage-the ability to travel freely in his homeland without worrying about the truth. Disclosure of identity.
During this time, Elminster transformed into a priestess of the Mystra Church.
Later, the holy messenger of Mystra came to the world and personally guided Elminster in the study of magic, and taught him a mysterious spell from the Netherese period to help him regain his original male form. form.
During that period, Elminster had accumulated enough magical power, and he was determined to take revenge on those fallen mages.
After a grueling battle, Elminster succeeded in regaining his throne, but then he chose to pass on the honor to a friend, a knight of Aslanta.
Immediately afterwards, he and the saint of Mystra left the territory of Aslanta. During their journey, they encountered a surprise attack by an evil mage. During this crisis, the Sage of Mystra revealed his true identity and chose Elminster as his divine kinsman.
Subsequently, Elminster embarked on a journey to Cormanthor, a mysterious place praised by the world as the ancient elven city. There, he devoted himself to studying the art of magic and spent his whole life. More than twenty long spring and autumn years.
During this period, he was not only deeply involved in the design and production process of the magical structure of Mythron, but furthermore, he personally planned and built the magnificent city of Myth Drannor.
After that, Elminster single-handedly founded the famous Harpers organization with his outstanding vision and leadership.
Many years later, the world once again heard the legendary story of Elminster.
At that time, he had been trapped in an ancient tomb in Netheril for several years, until an unexpected adventuring team rescued him from the endless darkness and loneliness. It was a turbulent era in magic. Elminster could only survive in the predicament by relying on the skills and wisdom he had hidden in his heart in his early years.
After these claustrophobic years, Elminster took on a new role - he became the three descendants of the Chosen of Mystra, Storm Silverhand, Lyra Silverhand, and Dofu's nurturing father.
It is said that during this period, he also participated in and witnessed the founding process of Waterdeep, leaving a deep imprint on the establishment of the city.
In that era when the gods fell and the heavens were in turmoil, Elminster used his fearless power to defeat the Lord of Shadows and his Zhentarim army, led by the holy emissary of Bane, the God of Slaughter.
After a thrilling battle, Elminster successfully defeated the Saint of the God of Slaughter, but due to the impact of magical power, he was transported to another world.
Following this, Mystra, the goddess of destiny, foresaw her own end and passed on most of her profound magical secrets to a human mortal named Midnight, who later became a human being. On the throne of the God of Magic.
This sudden change had a major impact on Elminster's magic, and his power fell into a low ebb.
However, with the unwavering support and assistance of his friends, Elminster finally survived the difficulty. When the Zhentarim attacked again under the command of Manson, he succeeded. Defeat them and survive this crisis.
Then there is the next plot.
The City of Shadows appears again, planning to launch an attack on the Valley of Shadows, and Elminster decides to take action.
After High King Telamante teamed up with people from the Shar Church to seriously injure the sage Elminster of the Valley of Shadows, he never participated in the Lost Lady's plan against the Mystara Magic Network again.
Because Elminster controls the power of silver fire, it is the pure energy essence in the magic network.
The ghosts are like the concrete products of the shadow world. Their essence is the physical life form formed by shadow magic after countless meditations, refinements and condensations. They are like alien ghosts bred in the darkness, wandering Between life and death, hidden on the edge of light and darkness.
When these two completely different but equally powerful forces - the life forms condensed by the power of silver fire and shadow magic, collide violently at the moment when their fates are intertwined, it is like thunder hitting the earth, instantly erupting into a soul-shaking energy shock wave .
This explosion not only illuminated the dim night sky, but was more like a sharp sword cutting through the barrier of reality, tearing out a crack. The crack seemed to be a black hole that swallowed everything. It contains unfathomable terrifying power.
In this space crack created by the energy explosion, a force powerful enough to shake the laws of heaven and earth surged out, forming a passage leading to the nine levels of hell.
The passage is filled with the smell of hot sulfur and the wails of despair, as if it is connected to a world full of pain and torture, closely connecting reality with the abyss. While making people shudder, it also reveals the reality of the universe. A more profound and complex mystery.
Elminster knew very well that the only way to prevent the evil creatures in hell from migrating to the world of Toril on a large scale through this gap was to personally step into this rift and escape from the depths of hell. Seal it yourself.
So, he resolutely stepped into the gap leading to the abyss.
In this intertwined world of light and shadow, Brian stood like a sculpture, his eyes deeply immersed in the ethereal phantom scene.
It is a flowing picture, like a reflection in a dream. Although it has no substance, it is full of fascinating power. Although the surroundings were so silent that only the sound of heartbeats remained, and he was unable to capture any actual sounds, his perception was like a keen radar, discerning everything in this silent world.
At this moment, Elminster's image is looming in this phantom, and his deep eyes are like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining with mysterious and meaningful light.
Although the hearing channel was cut off, Brian was able to have a silent dialogue with him through his eyes. It was a kind of soul communication that transcended words, as if every ray of light was telling an unspoken story.
He clearly felt that Elminster's eyes contained some profound meaning. It was not just a simple expression or emotional expression, but more like an epic that had not been revealed yet. Waiting for someone's interpretation.
The look in his eyes was like an invisible key, trying to open a door to an unknown realm, conveying to him a message that could only be understood through spiritual communication.
Brian stared closely at those eyes, with countless questions and expectations surging in his heart. He knew that the secret hidden in them might lead him to a new adventure, and the answer to this mystery, Hidden deep in Elminster's magical eyes, quietly waiting for him to reveal it.
This reminded him of the original game plot.
During the battle with the City of Shadows, Elminster resolutely stepped into the ghastly Baator Hell. He spent all his magic power to seal the spatial rift. However, after his power was exhausted, he inevitably fell into He was unable to resist and was captured by a powerful demon.
This demon coveted the secret of silver fire hidden deep in Elminster's mind, and tortured him severely, and the scene was extremely cruel.
Thanks to the magical healing power of silver fire, Elminster was able to struggle and survive on the edge of life and death.
At the same time, the goddess of magic Mystra noticed Elminster's disappearance.
The leader could not sit back and watch his most beloved subordinate fall into danger, so he personally embarked on a rescue journey deep into hell, but failed to find any trace of him.
Later, she sent her capable general Halaster Blackrobe into Hell, but the challenge failed, but she did not give up. She sent Xinbu there again, but she has not been able to successfully rescue him so far.
The main reason for all this is that they have not yet been able to find out which level of Baator Hell Elminster was imprisoned in.
After all, Baator Hell, the core of the abyss of endless purgatory, is the undisputed terrifying territory of Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells and the Commander of All Demons. In this territory full of sin and despair, his will is as strict as an iron law, and the existence of any living thing must tremble under his dark scepter.
This unfathomable and powerful devil king showed his ambition to subvert the order at a certain dark moment in history - when the "Arcane Catastrophe" swept across the multiverse. and strength.
The catastrophic catastrophe swept across the world like a storm, but Asmodeus took this opportunity to almost destroy the brilliant divine fire derived from the divine origin of Azuth, the mage god. The evil power above was swallowed up.
The heroic scene at that time still frightens countless living beings who know the inside story. Asmodeus's challenge to the gods is undoubtedly a provocation to the laws of the entire universe.
He looked down upon the gods, and even the wisdom and mysterious power represented by the goddess of magic were nothing more than tools that could be used or trampled upon in his eyes, and they failed to touch his cold and ruthless heart at all.
βIn other words, Elminster is very likely to use the echoes that once remained in the Engraved Valley to tell me which level of Baator Hell he is imprisoned in. β
Thinking of this, Brian did not dare to be careless, and immediately concentrated on carefully checking the phantom of this gathering of mages.
Among the bustling crowd, he was immersed in this wonderful feast of visual and auditory interweaving.
The crowd was filled with colorful conversations, with all kinds of interesting stories, witty and humorous conversations and profound philosophical discussions coming and going, like unarranged but harmonious and moving symphonies.
Unique musical melodies are like mysterious codes, flowing in everyone's ears. Sometimes they are as passionate as the tide lapping the shore, and sometimes they are melodious like a mountain stream. They cut through the noise and weave a unique urban aria.
In this bustling scene, an indescribable weird buzzing and popping sound is interspersed from time to time, like some ancient magic whispering, or as if an unknown force is gaining momentum, Adding a touch of fantasy to this seemingly ordinary world.
Among the crowd, the mages attract the attention of the surrounding people in their unique way.
They waved their arms and traced their fingertips through the air, leaving mysterious tracks, just like painters painting a magnificent dream on the canvas.
Their gestures are complex and changeable, and every tiny movement contains endless power and wisdom, trying to guide people's thoughts to follow their rhythm.
Colorful smoke hovered above the heads of the mages, like agile elves, dancing in the air and moving obediently around them.
The smoke may be as blazing as fire, or as cold as ice, or as bright as the stars, shrouding the mages in a dreamlike light and shadow.
At the same time, various luminous spheres were also swimming and rotating around them, like the brightest stars in the night sky, flickering on and off, shining with a blurry and alluring light.
What is even more fascinating is the birds summoned by the magicians. They flutter their wings lightly and sing beautiful melodies, which are the purest sounds of nature.
Some of the birds danced in the air, performing an elegant aerial ballet. Their wings flapped gently, bringing up gusts of breeze, as if they were telling magical chapters in ancient legends, which was intoxicating.
