After listening to Hathaway's story, Brian probably understood some of the details of the plan.
He retracted his thoughts and his eyes fell on the elf in front of him. Her beautiful eyes were bright, like the most dazzling stars in the deep night sky, but her expression revealed a hint of imperceptible sadness, as if she was carrying endless energy. of secrets and sorrow.
“That’s it,” Brian nodded thoughtfully and expressed his views on this plan:
“In other words, in order to let the goddess Angelis Able to achieve the almost impossible feat of fusion with the most perfect posture, Ms. Jin Xin and the other two goddesses not only devoted themselves wholeheartedly and closely cooperated with this grand plan, but were also willing to give up part of their own divine power as the fusion. Catalyst, right?"
Hathaway didn't speak, just nodded slightly, sighed, and then lowered his eyes.
Then, she bent her knees and sat on the cold rock ground, clasping her knees with her hands, feeling a bit lonely and desolate. Her deep eyes flashed with elusive light and shadow, making it impossible to guess what kind of thoughts were surging in her heart at this moment.
Although Brian was very interested in this matter, seeing that the other party clearly did not want to continue talking, he was naturally too lazy to continue asking.
Then, after Brian thought about it for a while, he brought the topic back to the topic and said to Hathaway, "So? Miss Hathaway said so much, then this matter has nothing to do with the illusion. What does it have to do with the Demon King?"
After thinking about it, he continued to ask, "Also, you haven't told me how you were corrupted by the Illusion Demon King."
"This... ..." Hearing Brian's question, Hathaway gradually came back to her senses. A look of hesitation appeared on her face. She hesitated for a long time, but did not formulate the words she wanted to say.
Seeing Hathaway's strange expression, Brian immediately realized that there might be something more to it.
Unfortunately, Ali can be seen from the expression of this female elf. She obviously does not want to mention these things more, otherwise she would not have deliberately changed the topic to the goddess Angelis just now.
The two may indeed have a certain connection. In Brian's opinion, it is more that Hathaway has something to hide.
In this case, Brian would naturally not force the other party.
If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it. Make it seem like you really want to hear it.
No matter what, the Abyss must be involved in this matter. Once he knows too much, he may be involved with other demon lords, or even be involved in the plans of the elves and gods. possible.
Right now, Brian still has some unfinished business to solve the chaos in the Underdark. If he wastes a lot of time here and delays his business, he will be in trouble.
So, he withdrew his gaze from Hathaway and said with a smile: "I was abrupt. Since Miss Hathaway doesn't want to say it, I naturally won't force you to do anything. You don't have to do this. I'm sorry. If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first. After all, although the incomplete incarnation of this phantom devil has been eliminated by me, the real incarnation is still hidden in the dark area. In short, Miss Hathaway must be careful. Don't fall into the trap of the Illusion Demon King again."
After saying that, he shook his head gently and turned to leave the cave.
“Wait a minute!”
As soon as Brian lifted his steps, Hathaway stood up quickly and called out to him as he prepared to leave.
Seeing Hathaway calling him to stop, Brian's brows frowned unconsciously, and his expression became even more dissatisfied.
After all, I kindly rescued her from the demon lord, asked her about things, and wanted to find out about the Phantom Demon King, but she was not cooperative at all, was secretive, and deliberately took advantage of Ange. The story of Wraith was intriguing.
At this moment, Brian is not angry, and he is considered to have a good temper.
He turned around and said nothing, but looked at Hathaway who stood up and walked over with a slightly cold look.
Hathaway obviously also noticed Brian's dissatisfaction, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her deep eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Brian with a slightly apologetic look, as if she wanted to condense all her apologies into this last look.
Then, Hathaway slowly told Bryan the truth in a soft and low voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bryan."
"Some truths... and It's not that I don't want to tell you." Hathaway stood in front of Brian, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice, "I'm just hesitant to let you get involved in this dispute with the bottomless abyss. Appropriate. After all, you are a rare genius arcanist, tasked with rebuilding the glory of the Arcane Empire. Every choice you make may affect your future. I am definitely to blame for the accident."
At this point, she paused, her eyes showing deep worry and uneasiness, but she quickly continued: "Besides, Mr. Brian. You are still a half-elf, with elven blood, and you have been blessed by the kingdom of Avandor... Your life is not only your own, but also closely connected with this land and this starry sky. "
"Since Miss Hathaway doesn't want me to get involved in this dispute, why do you still tell me this?" Brian said with an unhappy expression, still stern.
“That’s why I hesitate.” Hathaway didn’t care about Bryan’s attitude and said softly, “It’s because I don’t want Mr. Bryan to be involved in this dispute. Regarding my own intention, but..." Seeing Hathaway's hesitant look and unable to speak, Brian frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized something.
He asked tentatively, "But others are eager for me to participate, is that true, Miss Hathaway?"
The inner thoughts were suddenly revealed. , Hathaway raised her head, eyes widened in surprise, and looked at Brian with a complicated expression.
After she was silent for a long time, she sighed softly and said slowly, "Yes, since Mr. Brian has guessed it, he must also know who the mastermind behind it is."
"I His identity has been exposed, and he is even tainted with the aura of the bottomless abyss." She continued, "But Mr. Brian is different. You are someone who is beyond destiny. It is perfect to help us complete this matter. "
"Besides..." Hathaway said, "This matter is inseparable from the riots in the Underdark. It will not affect any of your next actions at all, and I will even be able to do it in the future. "In short, this matter is like a double-edged sword for me," she said. "If used properly, the benefits will be unimaginable." ”
“Sure enough.”
After hearing Hathaway's words, Brian nodded slightly, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
He secretly thought that there must be some expert guidance behind the clever words of this female elf.
As for who the person behind the scenes is, the answer is almost ready to come out.
Other than Corellon Larethian, the main god of the elven pantheon, the leader of the city of refugees, who else can have such a profound influence?
Although Brian could not sense the existence of this true god and could not even capture a breath, he could not help but have the illusion that his conversation with Hathaway might also be someone else. Listen quietly in the dark and observe silently.
Otherwise, why is Hathaway's attitude so subtle and complicated?
Considering this, Brian felt that it might be a wise choice to participate in this operation without affecting his next plan.
From Hathaway's words, he vaguely felt that the next plan was undoubtedly closely related to the bottomless abyss.
At this time, he had reached an agreement with the radiant nun Telina of the Succubus Queen.
After solving the problem in the Underdark, he will go to the Abyss with Telina to fight Demogorgon together.
If the forces of the elves and gods can help, the chances of success will naturally be greatly improved.
After all, I am helping the Elf God System, and they should give me some substantial support.
Thinking of this, Brian's eyes became firm and he slowly turned to Hathaway: "Since the secret in your hearts is as I expected, there is no need to apologize for possible hesitation. I can participate Go into your actions, but I also hope you can understand one thing: behind any gift of fate, there is a price tag hidden."
"This is the unchanging law of the universe." he emphasized.
When Hathaway heard this, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She had obviously anticipated Brian's reaction, "Sir, he always hits the right note, which makes people admire him."
After saying that, she raised her hand lightly, and a star-like magic brewed from her fingertips pointed at Brian.
At this moment, the brightest star in the night sky seemed to respond to some kind of call. A beam of extremely bright starlight broke through the sky and enveloped Brian silently. The light gradually merged with the cloth. Ryan's body melted into one, like the dawn, warm and sacred.
What followed was a throbbing in Brian's heart. He clearly felt that the supernatural gift 'Avandor's Blessing' in his system panel had been continuously upgraded from the lowest level of 'weak' to Mild, medium and even strong, finally reaching the highest level of perfection!
What makes Brian even more incredible is that this supernatural gift did not stop because of this.
With a flicker of light, the eye-catching 'perfect' level quietly transformed into a 'demigod' shining with pale golden divine brilliance.
Immediately afterwards, Brian suddenly noticed that an unreachable channel seemed to be opened in the deep void, and an extremely powerful energy suddenly poured out.
This energy was like a raging tide, carrying irresistible pressure and submerging Brian's entire body. (End of this chapter)
