Brian came back from the illusion and looked at the simple long bow in his hand in disbelief.
Rather than saying that it is plain and simple, it is better to say that it is a long bow surrounded by stars.
Whenever the stars were mentioned, Brian recalled what Santila once said to him.
That is, a transaction between her and the Silver Virgin Suellen.
Before her death, the dark girl Eilistraee faced a huge choice.
She knew very well that if her priesthood fell into the hands of Spider Queen Rose, it would mean that Rose's power would increase, which might bring disaster to the world.
In order to protect the balance of the world and the entire elven pantheon, she made a bold decision.
The priesthood of song and dance in her own priesthood was returned to the elven pantheon, and the priesthood of beauty was given to the goddess of love, Suni.
By doing so, she succeeded in freeing the Silver Virgin from becoming a slave god, Sune, the goddess of love, thus regaining her freedom.
Then, she entrusted Su Lun with the three major priesthoods of swordsmanship, hunting and moonlight.
But behind any gift from fate, there is a price tag secretly marked.
Obviously, this is not a simple gift. She left an important condition: when she returns, Suellen must return his priesthood of the stars to her.
This decision puts the dark girl at great risk.
In the kingdom of Tianyu, whether it is Lathander, the lord of the morning, who controls the power of the sun, or Su Lun, who has the priesthood of the moon, their priesthoods have strong development potential.
Although Su Lun's star priesthood seems unknown, it actually contains unfathomable power.
Although Brian could not fully understand the logic of the Dark Girl's decision-making, he understood that since she dared to abandon all known priesthoods and only chose to retain the priesthood of the stars, she must have her reasons.
Brian was deeply shocked by this determination and courage.
The details of this transaction are kept strictly confidential, and it seems that only the dark girl's wandering temple holds the answer.
This secret exchange once caused Miss Lost to pursue Santila madly.
After Santila's identity was revealed, she was pursued not only because she was afraid that the return of the Dark Maiden would break the existing balance, but also because of her extreme desire for power, strength and priesthood.
Light and darkness, one waxes and the other waxes and wanes.
If Selun's power grows, it will inevitably mean that Shar's power will weaken. The balance between the two is delicate and fragile.
As for why Corellon, the main elf god, extended a helping hand to Santila, the reason for this is that in addition to the continuous love between the elf gods, she naturally integrated the songs and dances of her priesthood. The priesthood is returned to the elven pantheon.
In the final analysis, it is all about transactions, which is the so-called mutual interest.
Until this moment, Brian just woke up from a dream.
He knew that once he took over this long bow, it would mean that he would be invisible and involved in the complex and subtle battle between the gods.
For this situation, he may feel panic, but he also feels a little lucky.
Fortunately, the rules of the gods today are no longer as cruel and ruthless as they used to be. A tragedy like that of Sammaster, the founder of the Cult of the Dragon, who was shouted at, pointed at and stared at, should never happen again.
Even though he is a powerful legendary man, he is still as fragile as an ant in front of the gods.
Although the current gods are still boundless in power, the rules they follow have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Brian knows very well that he needs to remain vigilant and cautious in this game of gods in order to find the possibility of survival.
He felt uneasy in his heart, but he also knew that he had no way out and could only continue to move forward, find his own path, and at the same time pray for Santila's future.
After all, it was his unintentional act that had such a profound impact on Santila's life trajectory.
Originally, according to the established process of the game world, it would take ten years for Santila to gradually understand her mission. She came to the Lost City of Waterdeep and began to look for the mysterious Walking Temple.
However, due to his intervention, Santila awakened the bloodline of the Son of God ten years in advance. This change was not only noticed by the Lost Lady, but also involved him in an unknown crisis.
In addition to choosing to help Santila out of guilt, there is another very important reason.
The moment Brian just held the longbow, he felt himself being pulled by a mysterious force, as if he was being sucked into the vast starry sky.
He was shocked to find that all this was not the will of the longbow itself, but the miracle caused by the ancient and mysterious ring in his hand.
This ancient ring seems to have spiritual intelligence. After sensing the majestic energy hidden inside the long bow, it emits a subtle resonance.
It is like a bridge, connecting the mysterious connection between Brian and the longbow.
With the blessing of the ring, Brian felt that he could actually touch the power sleeping inside the longbow, as if a bright star in the vast starry sky was waving to him.
This undoubtedly filled Brian's heart with doubts and curiosity.
He couldn't even imagine what it all meant.
In general, this long bow surrounded by mysterious power is like a sleeping dragon. Although it is still in a sealed state, under the guidance of the ancient ring, it can awaken Part of the dragon's power.
This power was powerful and profound, making him feel both excited and frightened.
He didn't know how much of this power he could use, and he didn't know if this feeling was real.
Perhaps, when he leaves this familiar place and embarks on an unknown journey, he can truly explore the secrets of the long bow and the ancient ring.
Bryan put down the simple long bow with trembling hands, looked at the chief mage, and said calmly: "The condition you mentioned is nothing to me. , even if you don’t say anything, I will do my best to help her, so this condition is invalid, you should change it.”
He stared deeply at the former arrogant chief mage. , his eyes were as gentle as the warm winter sun shining on the earth, but a touch of pity passed through him inadvertently.
Those deep eyes seemed to hide endless vicissitudes of life and understanding, as if staring at a legend that was about to end.
The chief mage of the ancient city of Orens used to be the pinnacle being that the drow looked up to, but now he is despairing and mentally depressed.
Times have left deep marks on his face. The once sharpness and sharpness have disappeared, replaced by a kind of loneliness and exhaustion.
In the depths of his eyes, there seemed to be countless unsolved mysteries and an unspeakable sadness hidden. (End of this chapter)
