526. Chapter 525 Destroyed Hope


The Chief Archmage laughed angrily at Brian's straightforward way of speaking.

He looked at Brian, frowned slightly, and said with an unhappy expression, "You look very confident, Mr. Brian, I really can't figure out where your confidence comes from. "

"Yes, I have always been very confident." Brian heard the sarcasm in the other person's words. He smiled casually and continued, "My confidence is natural. It comes from you, that's all."

"From me?" The chief mage chuckled, "You think you can see through me."

He was slightly angry. His voice rose slightly, "Do you really know me well? You really think that I will give you the magic notes. You are so naive."

"Yes, my ideas are indeed naive." Brian said, "But sometimes, some seemingly very complicated things really need a naive person like me to solve them, what do you think?" br>
“After all, if I wasn’t naive, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even give me a chance to see me.” He added, “Besides, the purpose of my coming here and what I want to do, even if Even if you don’t take the initiative to say it, you can make a guess. Since you have seen through it, what do you think is the point of me saying a lot of compliments?”

“So, after careful consideration, I , I still think the straight-forward approach is more effective." Brian looked at the chief mage meaningfully, "Because I have what the mage needs most."

After saying that, he stared at the chief mage. The Archmage's deep red eyes tried to peer into the unfathomable abyss of the soul.

Brian's gaze was firm and sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate the invisible barrier and reach into the depths of the other person's soul.

Unfortunately, however, he failed to do so.

The chief mage's emotions are like a quiet lake. No matter how hard he throws the stones in his heart, he can't stir up a ripple in the still water.

The calmness and depth made Brian feel invisible pressure, and at the same time he was even more looking forward to the other party's reaction.

In this long silence, the two of them were like chess players facing off on a chessboard, each with different strategies and purposes in mind, but both remained silent.

Brian knows that the Chief Archmage's patience is as outstanding as his own, and he also knows that this silent contest has just begun.

And the reason why he is so confident is because he knows the value and ambition of the chief mage.

He believed that although the other party remained silent on the surface, deep down he must be weighing the pros and cons and considering how to take advantage of this opportunity.

He even guessed that even if he didn't take the initiative to look for the other party, the other party might take the initiative to find him.

However, Brian did not dare to be 100% sure of what the other party was thinking.

In order to save time and uncover the mystery of this game as soon as possible, he had no choice but to come to the city of Ancient Orens in person.

He believes that here, the wheel of fate will begin to turn, and the truth will gradually emerge.

I don’t know how long it took, but just as Brian expected, the Chief Archmage finally couldn’t help but speak first: “Well, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you, and I don’t want to have a meaningless fight with you. Let’s get down to business.”

“I think so too, and I don’t think it is such a glorious thing.” Brian nodded slightly and agreed.

"To be honest, from the moment you appeared in the ancient city of Orens, the plan I had planned for hundreds of years was completely disrupted by you."

The chief mage sat quietly on the chair, his gaze penetrated the clouds and reached the sky, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something important.

Finally, he sighed helplessly, with an indescribable sense of vicissitudes in his voice.

Brian felt that although his eyes were deep and bright, like the brightest stars in the night sky, there was a deep sense of exhaustion and powerlessness in them.

His eyes seemed to be able to see through the essence of everything in the world, but he could not avoid being crushed by the weight of fate. Those slightly drooped shoulders seemed to be carrying the weight of the entire world.

The frowning brows are also telling endless worries and helplessness.

The surrounding air seemed to be infected by the chief mage's emotions, becoming solemn and silent.

At this moment, he was no longer the lofty chief mage, but an ordinary mortal who was trapped by fate and exhausted physically and mentally.

His fingers gently rubbed the staff in his hand, seeming to be looking for some kind of strength to support him in moving forward. His eyes were full of worries about the future and helplessness about reality.

The Chief Archmage sighed, like a twilight old man:

“If it weren’t for you, my plan might have really succeeded. After all, I’ve been waiting for so many years, okay? It was easy to see hope, but it was completely wiped out by your appearance.”

Brian could sense the Chief Archmage's deep sense of powerlessness against fate. Even so, he still insisted on his opinion and said, "I don't think so, Chief Archmage, I do think that I am the one who saves you." That's right."

He thought for a moment and then said: "As a powerful spell caster, it is impossible for you not to be aware of the power of the gods. It is not on the same level as us, even if you are a high-level legendary powerhouse. In their eyes, he is just a stronger ant. No one can deny this. "

"So, even if I didn't show up, I didn't ruin your plan." Brian. Said to the Chief Archmage, "Your final fate will still be the same. After all, the Spider God Queen is not as easy to deal with as imagined."

"Although your words make some sense, if you don't show up, at least you can make it happen." I see a glimmer of hope for successful resistance," the chief mage said, "Even if this hope is so small that it can be ignored, at least there is a possibility of success. Even if I fail, I will not regret anything."

"But it's different now." He raised his head and looked at Brian, "Your appearance has made me lose all hope. You saved them, but you destroyed me, and also destroyed my hope. Let me Hundreds of years of planning have been put into practice, and I have lost the meaning of living.”

The chief archmage stood up slowly and looked through the window at the beautiful scenery of ancient Orens city shrouded in strange demonic fires. "In every drow city shrouded in spider webs in the Underdark, the power of the Spider Goddess Rose surpasses No one can resist anything, no matter how powerful the drow is."

"Forget it, there is no point in talking about it now." He sighed. , sat back on the chair again, his face regained his composure, and said to Brian:

“I can give you the magic notes to prevent the disaster in the Underdark, but the premise of all this is that you also need Promise me a few conditions" (End of Chapter)
