"Mr. Brian, please don't get me wrong."
The chief mage's voice interrupted the silence around him. He gradually retracted his thoughts, and his eyes returned to calmness from deep contemplation, and finally became like The ice in winter is as cold and heartless as ever.
His tone also cooled down, as if even his words were affected by the cold air around him.
The Archmage slowly raised his head. He was sitting on a high mage chair and seemed to be listening quietly to Brian's words.
However, every move he made revealed unparalleled majesty, like a majestic mountain peak, standing above the clouds, looking down at everything around him.
Although his eyes are calm, they contain endless wisdom and power, making people dare not look directly into them.
A cold and ruthless voice came from the silent mage tower and echoed in the air.
This sound is like the north wind in the cold winter, biting and sharp, hitting the heart directly.
As the sound spread, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and even the magic elements around the mage tower fell silent.
“It’s my business to mention it or not, and it’s my business to do it or not. There is no relationship between the two of us. After all, behind any gift from fate, there is a price tag secretly marked on it. .”
After speaking, the Chief Archmage took out an ancient book with a six-pointed star array printed on the cover, and said to Brian, "This book contains detailed records of everything about the huge chaotic array in the Underdark."
After he handed the book to Brian, he paused for a moment, looked at him meaningfully, then withdrew his gaze, and said in a contemptuous tone, "By the way, pass a message to Wizlan. , I was able to drive him out of Ancient Orens City, and I can also find a way to prevent him from ever getting back on his feet."
As he spoke, the Archmage exuded a strong sense of confidence and strength. It was as if he had everything under control and everything was under his control.
His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could penetrate the distance of space and directly communicate to Wizlan in the distance.
"I will convey your words to him seriously." Brian took the book and promised him.
As for the love and hatred between the two, it is not something he should worry about.
After saying that, Brian took one last look at the chief mage, sighed softly in his heart, turned around and left, never looking back.
Leaving the mage tower shining with mysterious magic, Brian stepped into a dark and silent cave.
This huge cave seems to be a huge cage, which makes people feel depressed. It contains the screams and roars of countless monsters.
Brian couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty and ruthlessness of the underdark region of the main material world, like a desolate and deep hell.
At this time, he was in an abyss, surrounded by thick stone walls, as if he was isolated from the world.
In this dark cave, the drow are particularly eye-catching.
They seem to be a group of people abandoned by fate, imprisoned in this dark place, and their isolation from the world prevents them from contacting the sunshine and warmth of the outside world.
They seem so cruel and heartless that they are hateful, but occasionally, the eyes of some drow reveal endless sadness and helplessness, making it impossible to simply label them as a hateful race.
In fact, they are more like imprisoned prisoners, unable to be free, and burdened with endless pain and difficulties.
Brian could feel their struggle and desire for freedom, as if he heard the call deep in their hearts.
The cave is surrounded by dense spider webs, which seem like a huge trap, and the huge spiders guarding the side are quietly waiting for the arrival of prey. They are like guardians in the darkness, carrying out their duties ruthlessly.
These monsters are the rulers of this dark area, controlling the life and death of all creatures.
In this dark world, every creature is fighting for survival.
Leaving the area covered by the chief archmage's mage tower and hiding in the darkness, Orianna, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came over and asked eagerly, "How are you, Mr. Brian? How was your chat with the archmage? Did you have any questions?" Get the items you want?”
After deciding to follow the surface lord and move to the floating city, Orianna’s thoughts were completely focused on Brian.
For her, this is not only the beginning of her new life, but also the starting point closely connected with Brian's destiny.
She deeply understands that this is the so-called situation of both prosperity and loss.
However, what worries Orianna the most is undoubtedly the attitude of the Chief Archmage.
The ruthless mage whose opinions and decisions are crucial to Orianna's future.
If the Chief Archmage rejects Bryan's request, or even denies her idea of escaping from the constraints of her current life, then Orianna cannot even think about what her future fate will be.
At this critical moment, Orianna could not conceal her inner anxiety and expectations.
The eyes she looked at Brian were full of deep dependence and trust.
Her heart was filled with longing and uneasiness about the future, and she could only place her destiny on Brian, hoping that he could convince the powerful mage to free her and pursue her own destiny. Happiness and freedom.
The air around him seemed to freeze, and every second was full of uncertainty.
Orianna's heart was like a ship in the storm, swaying unsteadily.
She knew that only through Brian's guidance could she find her way to the Floating City and find her own future.
Feeling Orianna's nervousness as she stood next to him, Brian knew that her heart was filled with worry and uneasiness.
He understood that at this moment Orianna was worried about their future fate, as well as her own responsibilities and mission. This
This subtle emotional exchange made Brian couldn't help but recall the look in the chief mage's eyes.
The despair contained in those eyes pressed on his heart like a dark cloud.
In fact, during the time in the Mage Tower, Brian did not take the initiative to mention the idea of accommodating some drow elves to the Chief Archmage.
The reason why he did this was because the Chief Archmage's stubborn pride made him worried.
He knows that making such a suggestion directly may make the other party feel questioned and disrespected.
Therefore, he chose to remain silent, wanting to leave the other party with the last bit of dignity. Although
Although there was not much communication between the two, Brian used his keen insight to realize that the Chief Archmage's attitude towards Orianna and others had already been clearly revealed in his words and deeds. .
He may have had some kind of emotion towards them deep in his heart, maybe it was worry, maybe it was expectation, or maybe it was some kind of complex emotion that was difficult to describe.
So, he can still make the decision. (End of this chapter)
