The feelings are shallow, lick it, the feelings are deep, and the mouthful is stuffy.

This is a phrase that has been circulating on the wine table of the Celestial Empire for a long time, and in Faeron, I don't know if they have the same statement, but at least Ilminster does not refuse to drink, and he feels that he has a deep relationship with everyone.

If you ask a mage who looks like a halfling when he steals and a dwarf when he drinks, it's Ilminster.

The old mage blew on his neck after toasting, poured a bottle of spirits after a pause, put down the bottle, wiped his mouth so boldly, and laughed.

"Well, Master Knell, you have the courage to come and talk to me about overthrowing the gods, knowing that I am the chosen one of Mystra."

Su Ming didn't finish the wine, but held it in his hand and kept shaking: "Why not?" Now Mystra is the third generation, if it was Maxtread or Lady Mystery, maybe I wouldn't come to you, but now Mystra is 'Midnight', she was once mortal, and now she is still human, people always have a way to understand each other, as long as they want to. ”

"Ah, yes, I'm the chosen one of the Mystery Lady, and she's dead." Ilminster picked up his long pipe with some emotion, put it on his lap and smoked: "She is not from the world of Feren, and when she was about to leave, she was killed by the god of guards, Haim, in the crystal wall system, alas. ”

The second-generation Mistra doesn't even have a name, just Lady Mystery, and she acts more like a human being everywhere, with all kinds of bad habits.

During her tenure, she developed the largest number of voters, such as Ilminster, Kelburn's Black Staff, and the Seven Sisters of the Silver Hand, to help her deal with human affairs.

And what about herself? prefers to descend all kinds of divine power incarnations and go to men to mess around.

That's right, unlike other gods or demon kings who descended their incarnations for all kinds of big plans, she consumed her divine power to descend the incarnation just to find a handsome guy to sleep with......

After the death of the mysterious lady, Midnight inherited the priesthood of the goddess of magic and became the new Mystra during the events of the 'Year of Turmoil', and she didn't seem to be able to play with the gods, or she hadn't changed herself from the human role yet.

As the goddess of magic, although she also inherited the electors of the previous generation of goddesses, she did not have much contact with them.

"Alright Master, we'll have time to reminisce in the future, but for now, let's talk about plans for how to use this network."

Su Ming knew about the bullshit between the gods, but he didn't plan to recall that with the old mage, Faeron is not a safe place, it is better to take Ilminster and leave, and come and get what you want in the future.

"Young people just can't hold their breath." Ilminster stood up and patted his robe, his head turned from side to side, and shouted to his apprentice like an orc war cry: "Leo, don't sleep! Why don't you pour tea for your guests?! ”

His poor scribe, yawned under the pile of scrolls beside him, yawned at the sound waves, saluted the master in a daze, and then staggered downstairs to boil water.

Some of the rotten staircases creaked, which was normal in the damp seaside of Shadow Valley.

Ilminster walked over to the large bookshelf behind him, and kept taking down one book after another, flipping through it, and putting it back in its place.

"I remember where I looked, I can't remember it, people are easy to get confused when they get old, you know the Faren script, right? Come and help me find it. ”

Su Ming had learned the language and writing in Deep Water City when he first came to Faerun, and although he was not proficient in it, he could at least help.

"Looking for what?" He put down the bottle and walked to the master.

"This shelf, that shelf, and that shelf, are all catalogs of the Book of a Thousand Laws." The old mage took off his pointed hat and scratched at his bald head, "We're looking for the twelfth level of arcane, Karsus's Avatar." ”

In ancient times, there was a magical empire in Faeron called Netheril, and all the mages in it were very good, and every city used magic to float in the sky.

One of them, the Grand Arcanist named Karthas, invented an arcane technique that planned to devour the power of the magic web to make himself a god, and this magic was the 'Incarnation of Karthas', also known as the Karthas Divine Technique.

He wanted to replace Mistra as the god of magic, but this magic failed as a matter of course, and replacing others with other people's magic nets was a good idea, but there were too many problems in implementation.

It's like using a 10-meter ladder to climb a 100-meter tall building, and the plan is to keep going back and forth on this ladder and repeat it ten times to reach the top.

However, he forgot to think about how to flip the ladder in mid-air and where he stood when it was removed......

He really became a god, a demigod, the god of stupidity of Faeron.

The first generation of Mystra sacrificed himself in order to repair the broken magic net, sealing most of the magic net functions, and its power dropped to level nine, which also led to the fall of the magical civilization.

The floating cities of the Nether Empire have crashed, the surviving archmages have had to transform themselves into lichs, and the Kalthus canonization has become a taboo and joke in the wizarding world.

Legend has it that the book of this spell was found by the Mysterious Lady in one of the ruins of the Nether Empire, and the book was sent to the depths of the Endless Void beyond the Crystal Wall System.

It's just that Su Ming didn't expect that such an unpopular and failed ancient spell would actually have Ilminster, and it seems that he really has a leg with the mysterious lady......

But the current nine-ring magic net can't support level 12 arcane at all, and it can't be used to find this arcane, and the spell casting material needs an ancient golden dragon sand sac filled with diamonds, and the pituitary capsule of the god doomsday destroyer, where can I find it?

While rummaging through the books on the shelves, Su Ming asked the old mage this question.

"Just for reference, I don't intend to copy it as it is, magic is an art, and art is allowed to be borrowed." Ilminster took his pipe in his mouth and stuffed a large red book of suspicious material that looked like demon skin back into the shelf: "Now the magic net is indeed only open to mortals with nine rings, which is the limit of what mortals can use magic, and because I am a legendary mage and a goddess of magic elect, I can use a level 10 legendary spell, which seems to be far from level 12 arcane." ”

"But?" Su Ming knew that there must be a twist in this sentence.

"But the Nine Rings Demon Net, plus the Shadow Demon Net of the Nine Rings, isn't there 18 rings? It's only two levels lower than the god's level 20 spells, which is enough to achieve our goals. Ilminster smiled slyly, like an old fox ready to steal chickens.

Su Ming took a breath and lowered his head to think: "But Shar will not allow you to use the Shadow Demon Net, the two magic nets are mutually exclusive, and the two goddesses are against each other." ”

"Poof, don't be stupid, when did I say I was going to cast a spell myself?" Ilminster shook his head with a smile, casting the Karthus incarnation technique would definitely die, he didn't think about replacing the god in the spider web: "We just need to trick the villains into casting this magic and open the passage, it's really not possible As long as we can determine the way of linking the spider totem and Faeron, I have another way." ”

Su Ming understood the old man's plan, it turned out that he was still deceiving people, the most common method used by this archmage.

So he smiled and shook his head: "Dark, too dark." ”

Ilminster blew on the long beard on the side of his mouth, and said unconvinced like an old child:

"It's not a bad thing to trick the villains into dying, on the contrary, my plan may have saved people, so our goal now is to find magic, transform it, and then go to the dark region to find a high priestess of Rose, and lie to her that this totem is a passage to the kingdom of the queen spider, you know, those drow worship Rose is going crazy, they will try their best to overcome all difficulties just to see Rose, we just need to eat, drink and wait on the side."

Su Ming smacked his mouth and touched his beard:

"So the Drow will prepare an archmage, or even a legendary mage, to use the Shadow Demon Net and the Demon Net to launch the transformed god magic, not to replace Rose, but to meet her."

"That's it, when the time comes, I will inform my goddess to let them have access to the three-layer net, which is also one of our bargaining chips, so that they can make up the three layers and the nine-layer shadow net to reach 12 layers, of course, it will take a little time to transform the magic and implement the plan."

Ilminster put on his hat, his red peaked hat slumping limply on his head.

"I'm not sure if the Shadow Demon Web and the Demon Net can be used at the same time, do you think the two are additional?" Su Ming nodded and continued to open the book, the handwriting inside was very sloppy, and magic books were usually handwritten.

Ilminster shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly, "Not sure, but the test object isn't our own, is it?" ”

Sure enough, there is no mage who doesn't like to do experiments, and it's the same in every world......

It took nearly a year for even a top mage like Ilminster to do the work, and then the two of them left the Shadow Valley together and traveled further north to Icewind Dale, looking for a guide to the Dark Regions.

The Dark Realm is the collective name of the underground world of Faeron, also known as the Land of Lightlessness, where the entire planet is a large labyrinth under the crust, full of powerful monsters or madmen, and no guide will only waste more time to enter.

Fortunately, Ilminster, as one of the former leaders of the Harpists' Union, knew a lot of people.

And he knew that there was a Dark Elf Legendary Ranger who, after retiring, took his big cat with him to live a secluded life in the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale.
