Chapter 352 Three Artifacts
Xie Nian succeeded. The portal that Hersik opened was very precise. As soon as he came out of the door, Xie Nian saw the display cabinets arranged independently.
The sword that can break through space, the priceless gems, the armor that can withstand nine-ring spells, every item here is legendary. These are the things that the great devil Mephistopheles did not know. After so many years of collecting treasures, only items of this level are eligible to be collected by Mephistopheles.
These rare treasures in the outside world seem to have completely lost the concept of cherishing them here, making evil thoughts look dazed, and the seeds of greed sprout silently in the heart. With so many treasures, if Can I take out a few more items...
‘It’s a pity that I don’t have that time. Every item here is individually protected by powerful magic. Even with my ability, I can only open one exhibition cabinet in a short time. ’
The emotion of regret flashed through Xie Nian's heart, and Xie Nian shook his head involuntarily. Mephistopheles didn't give him a chance. This was the fundamental reason why he gave up taking more items.
Xie Nian didn’t actually intend to follow Gotash’s advice at the beginning. In his opinion, Gotash’s statement was ridiculous. He didn’t believe that his actions would not offend Mephistopheles, no matter what he did. Mephistopheles would not let a thief steal his artifact if he did not value Karsus' crown.
Since he has been offended to death, he will naturally not mind taking a few more things. As long as he can withdraw to the main material plane before the master comes back, as the God of Baal, he will naturally not worry about Mephi. St's revenge, but now it seems there is no chance.
Thinking about the evil thoughts here, he finally completely suppressed the greed in his heart, and began to carefully search for the real goal of his trip. This did not take him too long, because Karsus’ crown had always been on display. Place it in the most eye-catching area.
Xie Nian flashed to that area and looked at the strange-shaped items in the exhibition cabinet in front of him. The shape of this crown was completely different from those worn on the head.
There is obviously no support, but it is firmly suspended in the center of the glass cabinet. Three silver-gray steel branches with carved patterns form the main body of the crown. Abundant magical energy is constantly surging on it. Each steel branch is Each one is also inlaid with a gem of a different color, which are blood red, pink and deep purple.
This is it! It’s unmistakable, the crown of Karthus! I found it so easily! Right in front of me! Xie Nian stuck out his tongue and licked the fangs in his mouth, and glanced around. After making sure that there was no danger, Xie Nian asked Seleritas to warn him, and he himself used the skills of an assassin and began to try. Break the magic traps and defenses here.
Since the goal has always been clear, Xie Nian has also made full preparations for this operation. He carries many unique items that can shield magic fluctuations and block magic circuits. In addition, he is highly skilled. With his lock-picking skills, he opened the exhibition cabinet in front of him in less than a minute.
"I got it."
There was no surprise. The evil thought just stretched out his hand to hold it in vain. The crown of Karthus seemed to have independent consciousness, following his palm and floating in his hand.
"That's it?"
Xie Nian muttered to himself in shock. Although he and Gotash had made complete preparations for this operation, he still couldn't believe it. How could he get this legendary artifact so smoothly!
“It went so well that I felt a little creepy. Was it Mephisto who was too confident in the defense of his treasure house and thought no one could get in, so he was careless? Or was Mephisto deliberately indulging me? ? Indulge me, a thief who broke into the house uninvited?" Xie Nian didn't know, but no matter what, he would never put the crown back where it was after he had definitely obtained it.
“My evil master, there seems to be another thing in the cabinet where the crown is stored. Should we take it away too?”
Seleritas spoke to interrupt Xie Nian's thinking, and Xie Nian also set his sights on the item the butler mentioned. That thing seemed to be...a document?
"Take it and read it to me."
Xie Nian confirmed that he had removed all the magic defenses on this cabinet, and then even kicked the cabinet over with his feet. Neither of them would trigger this magic alarm, but just in case, he still didn't go get the thing himself.
Seleritas did not hesitate at all. The moment the evil thought order was given, he took out the document very obediently, but looking at the crooked fonts on the document, it seemed like It was as messy as crawling tadpoles, like completely meaningless text symbols, and Seleritas also fell into a brief dilemma.
However, this embarrassment did not last long. As a demon created by Baal using a fragment of his own thoughts, Seleritas could even be said to have inherited some of the gods’ insights. When he encounters something that he doesn't understand, the God of Murder's vast divine wisdom will tell him what exactly is it that confuses him?
"...Ah! My abominable master! Seleritas knows what this is! This is the writing of the illithid! And this document records an evil plan called the Great Blueprint. All the plans in that plan Everything is recorded in this document, my cunning master.”
Illithids? A great blueprint? Why are the illithid things placed together with the Crown of Karthus?
Xie Nian didn't know, he was not a stupid person, but he couldn't guess a reasonable explanation for this completely unrelated thing. Xie Nian just felt that the mystery was getting worse again, and he felt a There is an inexplicable disharmony and something is wrong, but I don’t know what is wrong.
‘It’s just an incomprehensible plan. What can such a thing do? Don't scare yourself, evil thoughts, I am Baal's son, I am the only hunter in this world, the embodiment of murder, no one can plot against me, unless they don't want to live anymore. '
The evil thoughts took the initiative to suppress the inexplicable worry. The portal can still last for three minutes. I can go back now, but maybe it is the greed in my heart, or maybe it is to calm down that feeling. Inexplicably worried, evil thoughts turned his attention to other collections beside him.
In addition to the crown, there are two other items in this area with the same defense level as the crown. Xie Nian instinctively feels that these two items may not be as powerful as Karsus' crown. While there is still time, maybe he can Take one more thing with you.
Xie Nian looked at the exhibition cabinet on the right. Inside was an extraordinary war hammer with a jet black handle and a spiked hammer head. There were two large rubies inlaid on both sides of the hammer head, and on the gemstones The devil's face was carved out.
Xie Nian looked at the exhibition cabinet on the left again. It was a whip. This whip also looked very extraordinary. Not only was the whole body made of snake scales, but it also had five whip bodies of different colors, red, Blue, white, green, and black are clearly placed in the display cabinet, but the whip itself is twisting and circling in the cabinet as if it is alive, and there are five vivid snake heads at the end of the whip.
