Chapter 151: Netheriel's Last Afterglow... Fell
From what little Levi knew of Brad, he was just a minor Grand Arcanist among the more than nine hundred students of Karthas.
I only know that he is the big guy who published the string theory, had an in-depth study of sound and vibration, and invented the alchemy communicator on this basis.
The only thing that impresses me is that this guy eats the grass on the edge of the nest without any discipline, and deceives his senior brother Xia Duo's daughter... For this reason, it was arranged by Xia Duo.
And in that period of Karthas's memory, probably because of Brand's seclusion, there is not much intersection at ordinary times, because all the information about him is too scarce.
When the information is incomplete, it is easy to make mistakes when making decisions.
Especially now, when he came to his death due to the side effects of the [Incarnation of Karthus] and completely became a salty dragon paralyzed on the ground, this is likely to be fatal!
At this moment, Levi suddenly remembered that Brad's mother was a silver dragon!
So Brad is also a Dragonborn in a way!
And it's very likely to be a guy from the orderly and good camp.
As a descendant of a metal dragon, can he accept the fact that the inheritance of Karthhas was taken away by a red dragon?
On this issue, Levi did not dare to gamble!
So after the group of black dragons in Ember City left, he directly turned back into the true body of the silver dragon.
Sure enough, after seeing that Levi turned out to be a silver dragon like his deceased mother, Brad's gaze at Levi seemed to have some warmth.
But when he spoke, the words he said still made Li Wei almost vomit blood:
"Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter who you are, whether it's a red dragon or a silver dragon, or who you are a believer, it doesn't matter, since you are the inheritor chosen by the teacher, that's enough, to be able to see the glory of Netherel being passed on before leaving, I... Very gratifying. ”
Levi hadn't heard the other message in the other party's words at this moment, he took a deep breath to calm his mood, and finally regained some strength, he slowly stood up, and made a gesture to Brad to meet the elder.
Then he couldn't help but ask with curiosity in his heart: "But how can you be sure that this is the choice of Karthas?"
This is also what has puzzled him all along, that is, why did the other party 'perceive' his existence when he only entered the dream left by Karthas?
Between the two of them, there has been a long river of time for a full 3,000 years!
Although Brad has long since turned into a lich, he is a very rare flesh and blood lich among the lichs who still maintains his former appearance, except that he has no breath, no temperature, and no heartbeat, almost no difference from ordinary people.
He seemed to recall something from the past, and with a smile of nostalgia but loneliness on his face, he sighed:
"Although the teacher fell because of the [Incarnation of Karthas] back then, he finally ascended to the throne with the help of the power of Mithriel, even if... It could only be for a moment.
Perhaps it was at that moment that he saw with the vision of God that the net of demons had collapsed because of him, and that Nethrel had been destroyed because of him.
In those last moments, he will surely try to find a way to salvation.
"Maybe at that moment, he saw your existence and saw some possibility through a certain tributary of the endless fork of the long river of time.
"And so I decided to entrust my legacy, the glory and embers of Netheriel, into your hands.
"So, no matter what, I respect the teacher's decision.
"As for how you use this inheritance once you get it, that's all your business. ”
Hearing this unexpected but reasonable answer, Levi was relieved, but at the same time, he felt that the arcane inheritance in his hand had become extremely heavy.
It was the long-cherished wish and regret that Karthhas tried everything he could, but failed to achieve, and it was a 5,000-year-old civilization.
How could he be chosen by Karthas to be the inheritor of Nethriel's arcane and glory.
Does he really have the ability to pass on this glory?
Xu saw the apprehension and confusion in Levi's heart, and Brad inserted a scroll of codex into the gap between the scales as if he were playing a trick, and then patted the scales on his leg, and said:
"Don't think too much about it, and don't feel like it's a heavy responsibility that can't be escaped.
"It's because of this heavy responsibility that teachers have never really lived for themselves in their lives.
"I don't think he wants you to go back to your old ways.
"So, do what you want to do, pursue what you want, and as for the rest, don't care if you can carry forward the arcane arts, let alone think about reviving the glory of Netheril, and we don't need to do it.
"We... It has fulfilled its historical mission.
As he spoke, he looked up and forgot to glance at the increasingly violent collapse in the ship, and then at his wife, who seemed to be asleep in his arms, resting quietly on his chest, and said with a smile:
"Alright... Sigrid and I can finally rest, so you can go too.
"That codex is some of my experience and alchemy blueprints on the path of studying vibration for so many years, if you meet a mage who is interested in this, help me choose a student who is patient and not afraid of baldness, and it will be in vain for me to study for so many years. ”
After saying this, he hugged the quiet Sigrid and slowly walked along the main aisle where rolling stones and broken structures could not be stopped, and walked slowly to the high platform.
Levi finally heard Brad's voiceover at this time, and finally noticed Sigrid in his arms, who seemed to be silent.
Seeing the empty opening on her chest, her heart trembled heavily, and she said with some dry apologies:
"I'm sorry. ”
At this moment, he finally understood that when the Karthas Stone was fused, Sigrid also died because the Philosopher's Stone was drawn out and his vitality was rapidly drained.
But it seems that Sigridt's death, Brad seems calmer and relieved than ever.
He waved his hand without looking back:
"There is no need to feel guilty, no need to feel sad, Sigrid and I should have slept with our teacher and Netherel three thousand years ago.
"But because of a disagreement and quarrel, I fell into a deep sleep because of the heavy blows, and she became an immortal monster, haunted by guilt and guilt, to protect the Icarus and me for three thousand years.
"She can never forgive herself for stealing the Philosopher's Stone that blasphemed her teacher, and I have never been able to forgive her for that.
At least in the end, such an ending can make her relieved and her soul rest in peace before she dies.
"Maybe... That's what the teacher meant.
"Let's go, in this last time, I just want to be quiet with Sigrid for a while. ”
Levi only felt panicked in his heart, and wanted to say something, but finally let out a sigh.
He bowed deeply to the student of Karthas, to the two little-known archalists who had been guarded by some obsession to this day.
Then he turned around and flapped his wings and flew out of the door of the central control room.
Bang...
There was another muffled explosion from the bottom of the ship, and the collapse of the ship became even more rapid.
At the same moment, the melody of the piano and organ was heard again from the center console.
He seemed to hear Sigrid whispering:
now, & the day
Now let the day go again

Nocturne... In the ringing...
Levi, who was flying outward, instinctively looked behind him, his pupils instinctively dilated.
I saw Sigrid still lying quietly on Brand's chest, smiling shallowly.
Brand played the piano intently, as if to soothe the ghost of his wife Sigrid.
Due to the collapse of the artificial magic net in the spaceship, the sound of various unplayed musical instruments disappeared one after another under the smashing of the hull structure.
As the last note of Brand popped out from his slender fingertips.
The Icarus's keel finally collapsed, burying the archarcanists who no one knew they had been struggling for three thousand years for their mission, along with Netheriel's Sunset, forever in the ground.
And they, too, are in this final moment.
I obtained the understanding of the other party.
Soul... Rest in peace.
.......
At the same time, outside the Icarus.
Countless explorers who escaped from this catastrophe, and legends who survived the catastrophe, all looked at the shocking scene in front of them.
Because the Icarus not only collapsed, but also continued to sink deep into the earth's crust under an unknown spell effect.
The ore layer above also continued to collapse, burying it.
It was as if the entire Icarus, driven by the will of a certain being, followed towards the Netherel Empire, which had long been buried by the dust of history.
"Netheril's last afterglow... And so it fell. ”
An elderly human mage sighed as he looked at the scene in front of him.
