Chapter 677: Shahr's collaboration with Rose
Along the path carved out in the forest, everyone walked unhurriedly. The location of the Wood Elf camp was at least six hours away from Willen, so their pace was not too fast, as if they were on an outing, and there was no tension at all. The keen senses exercised in the dark area allow everyone to easily perceive the surrounding environment, and ordinary monsters and beasts don't even want to sneak attack, because as long as they get a little closer, they will be spotted immediately.
As he walked, Apodell lowered his voice and asked Jasila beside him, "Damn! I feel like he knows something between the two of us! What do you think? ”
Jasila rolled her eyes in anger: "Stupid! Of course he noticed, didn't you hear the tone just now? ”
"Declare in advance, I didn't leak any secrets, and Henry found out all of them." Ammon suddenly leaned over and interjected, then quickly laughed and ran away.
"Well, it seems that almost everyone except Minsk knows about it." Apodell pretended to be helpless and spread his hands, but his eyes kept smiling. Obviously, he had long wanted to make the relationship between the two clear, but Jasila still had some scruples, so he hid it.
But after such a long time, I am afraid that anyone who is not blind can see that there is something wrong. The exception, of course, is a not-so-brained guy like Minsk, and perhaps the only thing he cares about is the fat hamster - "Boo".
Just when the group was hurrying with the afterglow of the sunset, an uninvited guest was ushered in far away in the sixty-sixth layer of the bottomless abyss, the deep pit magic web, the home of the spider goddess Rose.
It is a cobweb-shaped, moving steel fortress. Rose, as the master, is sitting on a magnificent throne. Staring at the uninvited intruder with those ruby eyes. To her right and left stood the Kiawan Sali, the goddess of immortality and vengeance, and the Shiventam, the warrior patron.
However, they did not show the arrogance of being born as a god at this moment, but were very cautious, because the handsome human man in front of them represented extraordinary significance, he was not only the priest and messenger of the Lost Lady Shar, but also one of the lords of the only well-preserved floating city, the City of Shadows, Revaran. Tanshur, the Grand Arcanist of the Nethril era - Lord of the High City, Teramant. The eldest son of Tanshur.
This long list of terrifying names shows how terrifying the forces behind this guy are. Especially after the turbulent years, the god Io warned the gods not to directly interfere in the affairs of mortals, so a magical fortress that can shuttle and move in various planes at will is completely immeasurable, although it is still in the shadow plane at the moment, but with a single order, this aerial city that carries most of the magical civilization of Nesserel can return to the continent of Feren and become a force that can subvert the balance.
After some temptation, Rose finally lost the ball and urged impatiently: "The Prince of the Shadows - Revaran. Tanshur. Say what you mean, I don't have time to play a guessing game with you here. ”
"Of course. Revered Goddess. I have brought Shar's greetings and some important news, and if you don't mind, my Goddess would like to be able to form a brief alliance with you in order to deal with the impending crisis. Of course, what you may not know is that a vast conspiracy is beginning around the entire Dark Elf race. "Speaking of Revaran. Tanshur took out a piece of information from his bosom and offered it with both hands.
He knew very well who he was dealing with, so he was very humble, perfect from his expression to his movements, polite like a noble prince, and people couldn't jump out of the way. But the arrogance in those strange eyes is the real character of this person.
Rose flicked her fingers, and the parchment flew up and unfolded on its own, and in just a few seconds, she finished reading it, followed by a burst of rage and roar.
"Arrogant mortals!! How dare you collude with my son and daughter to break the faith of the dark elves! I will never allow that to happen! Never! ”
Seeing the spider goddess so out of shape, the corners of Revaran's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that was not easy to detect, and then bowed slightly: "I'm very sorry, I have to interrupt you, noble goddess." I'm afraid you can't stop this from happening with the power you have now. As far as I know, Elystry is gathering allies, the Elven Gods, Mystra, the Mother of Magic, and the Moon Goddess Suren, all of whom are actively acting to the rescue, not to mention any other powerful human who has mastered mystical powers, are you sure you can handle so many enemies? ”
"So your goddess is going to take advantage of the fire?" Rose asked rhetorically with a sneer. She exudes a terrifying aura all over her body at the moment, and anyone who is not a fool can see that this goddess has been really angry, and any creature in the pit magic net may be used as a punching bag at any time.
Kiavin Sari and Shventam looked at each other for a moment, and hurriedly took a few steps back quietly, for fear of being innocently implicated. They were all well aware of the tyrannical temper of their Lord God, so they took the initiative to keep a relatively safe distance.
However, the Netherworld Prince is the Netherworld Prince, and he didn't show a trace of fear because of a tyrannical god standing in front of him, but smiled very elegantly: "Hehe, of course not, I've already said it, the Lost Lady just wants to form an alliance with you to deal with this crisis together, of course, Netherworld City is also included." Perhaps you don't know it yet, my father, Lord of the High City, Tyramante. Tanshur has decided to return to the main plane after two years. ”
"Oh? So what kind of covenant do you want with your goddess and father? Rose's eyes twinkled dangerously. Obviously, she didn't expect the other party to tell such a secret.
You must know that since the disaster of the fall of the Floating City in Nessryl, the Netherworld City has never returned, as if it has disappeared from this world, so that countless scholars believe that it has been destroyed by monsters from other planes, and has disappeared into the long river of history like other floating cities.
But many ancient gods knew well that the City of Shadows had been saved by Shar's Shadow Net. and hide yourself in the shadow plane. Quietly waiting for the perfect time to return to the main plane. Let the splendor of the Nessera civilization shine again.
There is no doubt that the Ghost City has the most complete magic system left over from the Nessera period, including a large number of lost level 10 or even level 11 magic, although the goddess of magic has now banned the release of spells above level 10, but with their rich knowledge of magic, it is believed that they will soon be able to transform it into the form of legendary magic and put it into actual combat.
Most importantly, as a floating city with unlimited energy. It can give the enemy endless intimidation, and perhaps with a single all-out attack, it can destroy one of the seven most famous cities in Faeron like Waterdeep. No one can ignore such power, not even gods.
Revaran. Tanshur stretched out a finger and shook it slightly, and soon a puff of black smoke swirled rapidly, gradually forming a roll of paper, which was full of golden words, exuding a rich dark power. He carefully clasped his hands and took two steps forward to Rose.
"That's what Shar and the Ghost City want, and I don't think there should be any conflict between your wishes. I'm sure you should know too. There are two more years, which is the year DR1372 in the valley calendar. The entire multiverse will be in labor, and the productive behavior of the universe will disrupt all planes. Reality is about to change, all planes are moving, and at this time there is a crisis, but also an opportunity, a great upheaval brewing from which even the gods cannot escape. ”
"Interesting, so you want to lure this human into darkness." After reading the terms on the black scroll, Rose smiled playfully. "But I have a question, why didn't you just take it, but instead used this very troublesome way?"
The Netherworld Prince smiled and explained, "It's very simple, we unanimously agree that this power cannot be taken away. Shar himself has done the test, it comes from the depths of the soul of the human called Henry, just like the light and darkness at the beginning of the birth of this universe, forming a delicate balance, once someone wants to forcibly seize it, then it will inevitably be subjected to a strong backlash, and in the end not only will you get nothing, but maybe it will be completely destroyed by the power of terror. ”
After hearing this, Rose narrowed her eyes and nodded: "Very interesting statement, it seems that the Lost Lady won in this secret encounter." But how can you guarantee that this man will fall into darkness as planned? ”
"Maybe you have seen the part of the power that belongs to creation and change, but you have not seen the part that belongs to destruction and devouring. The one who is able to master this power must hide the endless tyranny in his character, and as long as something is induced by it, then there is no turning back. At that time, the balance between good and evil in the main plane will be broken again, and a terrifying demon king will be born. "After saying that, Revaran. A hint of pride flashed across Tanshur's face, as if the demon king was himself.
"Sounds interesting, okay, I'm joining. But how are you going to help me cope with this split against the Dark Elf faith? Rose finally asked the most pointed question.
Revaran replied with a slight bow unhurriedly, "Don't worry about this, the Dark Sanctioners of the Lost Lady will be waiting to help you deal with the threats from the surface. If Mystra and Suren descend incarnations, then the goddess will personally intervene against them. ”
"That's all? Could it be that the Ghost City doesn't have any indications? Rose asked, frowning. Obviously, she was very dissatisfied with this answer, and her face instantly became gloomy.
"I'm sorry, that's all for now, my father doesn't think that Yin Ghost City is not suitable for exposure right now, so he can't send too many people, at least not until the assessment of the situation on the mainland is complete." After saying that, the shadow prince had an apologetic smile on his face.
Of course, this is just a polite gesture, and if you think he really feels guilty, you are very wrong. As the head priest of Ghost City, this guy's heart has long since become the same as Shar's, both evil and ruthless.
Rose knew that the other party no longer had any chips, so she waved her hand impatiently: "Since that's the case, then you can leave now, and I will talk to Shar personally about the rest of the things." ”
"Thank you for your hospitality, and I wish us more and more pleasant cooperation in the future." Revaran. Tanshur gave a salute to his chest with one hand, and then took a step towards the outside of the palace. He turned a blind eye to the large number of terrifying demon hunting spiders around him, and soon disappeared into the end...... (To be continued......)
