Chapter 812: Father and Son
The Shadow Plane is a dark and barren world, devoid of the sun, moon, and stars, and devoid of natural phenomena such as wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and hidden in the twisted chaos are terrifying monsters that look like black swirls of water or clouds from a distance, picking them out to attack as soon as someone approaches.
As one of the very few places that are directly connected to the main plane, there are often some intruders here, most of them jump in through some magic, and some accidentally enter from areas where the isolation between the planes is weak, if you are not well prepared, then you will soon become the food of the natives here, that is, the shadows, shadows, ghosts, shadows and other monsters, if you are unlucky enough, you can even meet the shadow dragon, and then it will not be as simple as death.
As the last surviving floating city of Nesser, the Netherworld City remains in a dangerous shadow plane at the moment, and since discovering the end of its country, it has never left, and has been silently guarding the last legacy of the Nessriel civilization.
Of course, for this magical city with many legendary professions and a large number of high-level mages, the shadow plane is not a danger at all, even if it is to hell and abyss, they have nothing to fear.
After all, in the era of Netheril, there were many great arcanists who had the ability to imprison and enslave demon lords or devil dukes, and the two most famous artifacts, the "Dead Moon Orb" and the "Sakohir's Seat", were born in that era, so the Netherworld City has enough magical knowledge to solve any difficulties as long as they are given a little time.
Lord of the Supreme City, Tyramante. Tanshur is standing in the tallest building in the city. At the same time, it is also the top of a tall tower in the center of the entire floating city. Quietly look out the window at the black city walls and the many towering mage towers. Without looking back, he asked, "How is the plan going?" Did that humanoid mage really create a power core comparable to the core of Mithella? ”
"Very smooth, according to the news that came back from the assassination a few days ago, the yellow finch has been awakened, and I believe it will not be long before he can obtain important information. As for what you said about the power core, I think it should be true. Henry. Angome had made an artifact that was constantly exuding magical power, but I'm not sure if he could make a second one. ”
Revaran stood in the center of the hall, whispering a report on all the progress made in the recent period. Perhaps in the eyes of all the inhabitants of the city, he is the supreme leader of the Church of the Goddess of the Night. But in front of his father, he is as well-behaved as a child.
None of the twelve Shadow Princes dared to do anything deviant before Teramant, and they knew very well how unfathomable the father was, especially the cold and expressionless face, which perfectly concealed his inner thoughts, as if he had made draconian laws for the city, revealing the essence of a dictator in his bones.
In order to ensure that the city of the Netherworld can preserve and continue the original magic system of the Nessera era, the archarcanist has adopted the most direct and violent methods, using almost demonic means to establish a series of dogmas, and the residents of the city have to go through layers of procedures even if they encounter even the slightest problem in life. So not a single qiē of the city has changed for thousands of years.
I have to say that this is a miracle, although the Netherworld City has always been in a state of isolation. But it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do to bring the social system to a complete halt.
Anyone who is able to do this is either a complete madman and paranoid, or has absolute confidence in himself.
It's hard to say about Teramant. What kind of Tanshur is, but judging from the state that he has appeared to be, he must be a strong-willed type.
"Oh? Are you sure it's not a guò magic net to absorb energy, but a truly eternal energy core? He turned his head in surprise.
Revaran nodded slightly, "Yes, father, a true eternal core. According to the spies' reports, mere exposure to air can make the caster feel a stronger connection to magical powers. ”
"Incredible!" Teramante couldn't help but frown. "Can we organize a capture, a never-ending power core is very useful to us, maybe it can make Yin Ghost City stronger."
No one knew better than him how important an infinite source of energy was, and if Nethrel had possessed such an artifact in the first place, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
The reason why Karthus wants to replace the goddess of magic is not that he intends to use the energy in the magic net to save the increasingly desertified country, to put it bluntly, it is the "magic sucking technique" of Feilin Demon Kui, these monsters drained all the magic elements, forming a forbidden demon area, and the magic net in the entire Enoch Desert has weakened, and it has not been fully restored until today.
"I'm sorry, father. This simply cannot be successful. A wry smile appeared on Revaran's face. Although Henry. Angome gave the power source, named the Arcane Core, to a powerful subordinate, but I could sense that it was a decoy, and if an enemy approached, he could reach it in an instant. Are you sure you can deal with a mortal who can kill a god? ”
Teramante narrowed his eyes and looked his eldest son up and down, and after a few minutes asked, "Have you seen him?" ”
"That's right, at the door of the Sorcerer's Tomb. A terrible person, I almost died. Rivaran had no intention of hiding it at all, and at the same time, there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes. He didn't even use the same power he used to kill the gods, and with his primordial magic alone, he created a powerful storm of lightning that was not much different from legendary magic. Father, I'm sure his cast level is definitely much higher than yours. ”
Hearing the last sentence, Teramant's expression that had not changed for ten thousand years finally changed, especially the appearance of the pupils shrinking instantly, which could not be hidden from anyone at all.
He took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "How is this possible! There are only a handful of people who can surpass me in the casting level, is it because of this that Lavoc rejected the Alliance's offer? He doesn't think I'm a match for that young human mage! ”
Revaran sighed softly, "I'm afraid so. The King of Wizards once said that Henry. Angome's soul has undergone the ultimate spiritual trial, and in the future, he will grow into a person who is stronger than the gods. He is already quite difficult to deal with now, if there is another floating city, then the main plane can no longer be stopped, so this plan can only succeed, not fail. ”
"What are you going to do?" Teramante didn't talk nonsense, and directly raised his head and stared at the eldest son with those stunning eyes.
Revaran looked at his father without fear, followed by the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and said with a sneer: "It's very simple, I have set up a positioning magic on the Yellow Sparrow, and she will always stay near the Floating City for the next time, as long as Henry. As soon as Ango left Baldur's Gate, he immediately mobilized all the forces of the Netherworld City and launched a devastating blow to solve this potential danger once and for all while his floating city was not yet completed. ”
"It's playing with fire! Don't you know what happens when a spellcaster with such power gets angry? Teramant's mouth was full of questioning at the moment, and even a fool could feel the displeasure in his heart.
But as the eldest son and the elect of Shar, Revaran just smiled and spread his hands: "Don't worry, father, he doesn't have a chance to get angry at all, because the Yellow Sparrow's operation is about to begin, and the time will ......"
Speaking of this, he raised his hand and made a grasping motion: "He will never be able to escape from Shar's palm again!" Broken families, irretrievable friendships and affections, and the so-called fame will all come to naught. Anger, resentment, and tyrannical negative feelings continued to emerge from the other side of his soul, and then the most terrible destroyer of the main plane was born. ”
Seeing the distorted smile on the eldest son's face, Telamante couldn't help but frown: "Okay, I agree to let the Yin Soul City return to the main plane. Hopefully your plan doesn't go on any errands, otherwise...... You should understand how I treat those who lose, even my son. ”
"Of course, father, I've never let you down, have I?"
Seeing that his goal had been accomplished, Revaran smiled and performed an ancient ritual popular in the days of Nessriel, and turned to leave the room at the top of the tower. After confirming that Teramante was not spying on him, he pursed his lips rather disdainfully, lowered his voice and said to himself: "Hmph! We'll see, old stubborn, as soon as I complete this mission, Shar will help me take the position of the Supreme City Lord, and you will be swept into the dustbin of history. In the face of the Goddess's grand purpose, nothing cannot be sacrificed......"
Soon, his figure disappeared into the shadows of the hallway, as if he had vanished out of thin air.
At the same time, Henry, who was far away in Baldur's Gate, had just turned the assassination master into an undead puppet, although he had lost most of his memory, he had not lost his combat experience, and he was able to freely shuttle between the main plane and the shadow plane, so he was definitely a rather dangerous assassin.
After finally checking the magic equipment on the undead assassin, he nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the transformation is finally complete." Daggers, daggers, crossbows, hidden arrows, poison needles, a full set of magic leather armor, and speed boots are sure to give even legendary professionals a headache. ”
"Is it necessary to do this? My brother's elite assassins don't seem to have met an unkillable target. Amy, as an assistant, asked helplessly.
She felt that her master was really a little too exaggerated, it cost tens of thousands of gold coins to create an undead puppet, and it was better to directly build a golem, at least the golem would have a much more effect.
"Hehe, trust me, he'll come in handy soon. After all, our enemies will become stronger and stronger in the future, so adding a few layers of insurance is a must. Alright, now take him and hand him over to your brother, Robert knows what to do. As he spoke, Henry lifted the girl's chin and kissed the two seductive red lips.
"No problem, a qiē as you wish."
Amy blushed and quickly escaped the studio with the undead golem. Although the two had been in a relationship not long ago, she was still very shy about this intimacy, so she quickly disappeared at the gate. (To be continued......)
