Chapter 591: Star Spirit World (4)
Ashur did not appear directly in the starry sky city, but appeared on the outskirts of the city's borders, he had seen the astral plane more than once, but this was the first time he stepped into it, the land of the astral plane was glowing with a deep purple hue, and the presence of air was not felt around at all.
As soon as he appeared, Asher immediately took out a bottle of powerful underwater breathing potion from his backpack, this underwater breathing potion is actually a prop similar to an oxygen replenishment device, which keeps adventurers alive in underwater and other scenes where they can't breathe freely, and it is also effective in the astral plane.
As soon as he entered the astral plane, Yashu felt light, and he didn't bless himself with flying skills, but he had a feeling that he could fly directly with a jump, and he didn't feel the weight of his body at all.
The stars of the astral plane burned out a long time ago, and the planet survived on the power of the ethereal device, so it was always night, no day, and quiet.
At the same time, unlike the Kahlan plane, the surface of the astral plane is very close to space, so when you look up on the ground, you can see a large area of colorful starry sky, the huge planet seems to be close at hand, the whistling meteorite group streaks across the night sky, and a huge star similar to the bright moon hangs above the night sky, sprinkling lilac light, and countless void energy is free in the air.
In the surrounding void, there are countless large and small rocks suspended, the large ones are as huge as mountains, suspended in the sky out of thin air, and the small ones are difficult to even gain a foothold, and these rocks are connected to each other by chains, all the way to the extreme corner.
After Asher drank the underwater breathing potion, the soles of his feet lightly stepped on the ground, and then he jumped up and suspended in the sky, his body descending extremely slowly, as if there was no gravity at all.
He shook his head, directly blessed himself with flying skills, and rushed towards the sky in front of him, Ashur didn't have a map, so it was difficult to judge the direction, but he knew that he just had to follow the direction in which those chains and rocks spread.
For mage adventurers, it is more convenient to enter the astral plane than other professions, but any convenience has a price, because they are not able to absorb any arcane energy without leaving the Kahlan plane, so their magic cannot be restored by natural recovery, and after Asher used a flight, his mana dropped slightly.
When casting spells on the astral plane, you must always pay attention to your mana.
In addition, there are countless fundamental differences between the astral plane and the Kalan plane, after all, this world belongs to a super-advanced region, and if it is calculated according to the level, it is at least above the myth.
The biggest impact on the current Ashur is that in the astral plane, his law skills will be completely invalid, not only the law skills he owns, but also the additional laws on various mythical equipment, these rules are the rules of Karan's multi-faceted plane, and only there can they take effect, and when he comes to the astral plane, the world laws here are completely different from the place where Ashur was originally located, that is, his law skills are useless.
Secondly, due to the discrepancy between the physical rules and the Karan multifacet, some engineering tools will also be invalid or scrapped, which does not have a great impact on Asher.
In this unknown world, many things have been completely subverted, and the monsters in the astral plane are extremely powerful, and Asher must be careful.
At this time, Ashur in the astral plane had also come to the agreed place, sitting on the head of the plane, far away, he saw the burly and sturdy minotaur, his dark skin looked very inconspicuous in the dark night, and Ashur flew towards him with the head of the plane.
"I'm here, tell me what you want me to do." Ashur flew up to the Minotaur, put away the head of the plane, and looked up at the guy who was twice as tall as himself.
Before entering the Void Plane, Asher had received a hint of confidence from this guy, and part of his help in obtaining information here.
The temptation of the mythical ring is still very great, not to mention a string of mythical-level jewelry bracelets, the equipment in these two positions is exactly one piece apart, in case the task is not high, Yashu still wants to fight for it.
"Help me steal." The minotaur remained silent, and then telepathic messages were sent to Asher.
"Steal what?" Ashur asked with a frown.
He had already asked this question once before, but the minotaur didn't say it for some reason, and insisted on giving him a mythical ring, asking him to come outside the city to talk to him in detail, and Yashu even put his secret method mirror image into the starry sky city in advance, just because he was afraid that he would yin himself, and if he hung up, there would be a clone who could continue to live.
The swarthy minotaur didn't hesitate this time, he simply whispered: "Actually, it's not stealing, to be precise, it's stealing people." ”
"Stealing?" Asher was stunned, and some discordant scenes immediately appeared in his mind.
"Well, do you know the Star Lord Arria?" The minotaur didn't wait for Asher to digest the content of this task, and continued to ask in the telepathy.
"Yes." Asher looked at the minotaur warily, ready to refuse.
The goal of this mission is simply unbelievable, stealing people? Ashur has done so many tasks, and he has never seen someone who can steal people, and this mission actually involves the Star Lord Arria? Isn't that looking for your own death?
"Lord of the Stars Arria has a little daughter, the Princess of the Stars, Shalan. Arria. When the pitch-black minotaur said this, a slight smile appeared on his face, which had been expressionless.
"What I want you to do is steal her out of the Eco Dome."
What the?!! ”
Ashur was stunned and took a few steps back one after another, his eyes were full of shock, looking at the minotaur opposite, Ashur instantly felt that he had fallen into the pit this time!
Stealing people or stealing the daughter of the Star Lord? It's a joke!
The Eco Dome is fully enclosed everywhere, and it can only be opened with the instructions of the Ethereal Guard, not to mention the difficulty of bringing her out of the Starry Sky City, the negative impact of this mission alone is definitely not something that Asher can bear.
That's the Starry Sky Lord, the true god creature who controls the astral plane, and the existence of the same level as the Demon Seven Lords, it is definitely self-defeating to provoke an existence of this level at will, even if Asher runs back to Karan and many faces, he may not be able to be alone, this is completely an act of death!
Ashur immediately took two steps forward, quickly took out the mythical ring in his backpack, and slapped it on the black minotaur's hand with a snap: "You can find someone else for this task, I don't have such courage, I don't want to accompany you." ”
Ashur's face was still shocked, and he immediately turned around to leave the place immediately.
This minotaur doesn't know where he came from, but it is absolutely crazy to provoke the starry sky lord in the astral plane, and it is said that this Arria lord is the strongest of the six starry sky lords, and the head of the founder of the starlight group, if the adventurer offends him, the consequences will ......
Compared to this consequence, even if there are ten mythical rings, Ashur will not take it!
Asser was about to summon the head of the plane to leave, but the minotaur behind him stepped forward and grabbed Ashur's shoulder. Clamped by that powerful palm, Yashu's back instantly cooled.
Finished!
At this moment, Ashur simply regretted that his intestines were blue, this guy said it nicely, once Ashur refused to accept the task, did he really want to kill Ashur? Hanging up on the astral plane, because there is no temple and cemetery, the loss will be great, and Yashu will definitely play himself to death this time.
Fortunately, he still has a clone in the Starry Sky City, and he is somewhat relieved to think of this Yashu.
"In your plane, you should also be the best among adventurers, is it that you have relied on this courage to get to where you are now?" A psychic voice sounded in Asher's heart again. Full of dull sarcasm. "Just hearing me say the goal of the mission, you didn't even know what to do, and you were going to retreat?"
Ashur turned his head with some annoyance and looked at the minotaur. In a very angry tone, he said, "Then what do you want me to do?" To provoke the Star Lord in order to complete your mission? I'm sorry. You think too highly of me. I don't have the capital and the courage to be the enemy of the gods. ”
Asher now saw the minotaur's pupilless eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm, and he wanted to slap him to death—though he couldn't.
This guy is simply pestering. The task issued to Ashur is definitely at the level of finding death, and Ashur is reluctant to accept it, he can't resist if he wants to kill or scrape Ashur, and as a result, this guy has to pull Ashur and grind again.
"You really don't have the capital and the courage to be the enemy of the gods." The minotaur let go of Ashur's shoulders, straightened up his burly chest, and said proudly, "But, I can." ”
Yashu was stunned, and looked up and down again at the swarthy minotaur, and cold sweat couldn't help but flow down his forehead, is this minotaur also a mythical figure? If you accidentally got involved in the battle between two mythical creatures, the level of this mission is a bit terrifying.
"Since you're so powerful, what else do you need me to do?" Asher was still dissatisfied, "I'm just a little arcane mage, and a creature of your level can kill me with just one move, and it won't do you any good to get me involved in your battle with the Star Lord." ”
"I've traveled to countless planes, but I've never seen a mage like you." The minotaur lowered his head, his huge eyes shining at Ashur, "I can see some of your abilities, although not strong enough, but amazing, you are an adventurer who can help me complete the task, how about it, do you want to accept it?" ”
"No way." Asher said angrily in a stiff tone. "Even if I can do it, why should I help you? For two pieces of gear? I'm sorry, but I'm not down enough to be an enemy of half of the astral plane for this benefit, and I want to continue to survive here, so please find someone else. ”
After Asher finished speaking, he turned around again and walked straight away.
This time, the minotaur didn't stop Ashur, and it wasn't until Ashur walked some distance to summon Mimiron's head that a telepathic voice came through his mind again.
"You help me this time, and I can help you with one thing too."
Ashur suddenly stopped, his palms trembling slightly.
"I'm not really a god, I'm a demigod." The minotaur continued, "But I should be much stronger than the demigods in your plane, adventurers of your strength, there will always be some places where I can be used, you help me complete the task, in addition to the two pieces of equipment, I can also give you a chance to make any request to me, even if I am asked to die, I will agree to you." ”
Ashur stood in place, listening quietly, his eyes lit up, his eyelids jumped, reason told Ashur to reject him, but in the depths of Ashur's heart, he was completely moved!
Two pieces of mythical equipment, both of which are the parts that Ashur needs, the help of a demigod creature, for Ashur, there is no better task reward in this world, if it is for this, even if the enemy is the Lord of the Starry Sky, what dare not do?
The Tower of Twilight has many powerful enemies, among which the most valued by Asher is the war guild that is now the least powerful, but everyone knows that these guilds are secretly preparing for the defeat of the Tower of Twilight, so why didn't Ashur prepare some aftermoves, some backmoves that were enough to decide the situation in an instant.
There is no doubt that this minotaur who dares to be the enemy of the starry sky lord will be the strongest backing of Ashur, except for the World Tree, there are no real mythical creatures in the Karan multiface, with the confidence shown by this minotaur, he should be the kind of invincible opponent who sweeps the world when he arrives.
At the very least, it is much stronger than Barack, the sea lord of Ashur.
This is an extremely tempting task. The reward of the mission struck Ashur's heart, Ashur didn't know what kind of enmity this guy had with the Starry Sky Lord, and he had to steal someone's daughter, but he couldn't help but be tempted - even if he promised him, he would be the enemy of the entire Starlight Cluster.
As if seeing that Ashur was still hesitating, the sturdy minotaur standing behind Ashur stepped forward and continued: "After this mission, if the plan goes well, you will not be wanted by the Starlight Cluster, and no one will even know that you did it. All the fingers will be pointed at me. All you have to do is help me steal Shalan. Arria, just a simple task. ”
Asher hesitated, but turned his head. Some uneasy, he said: "The ecological dome is fully enclosed. The Tower of the Stars also has the ability to automatically identify and attack enemies. There must be powerful guards around the Starry Sky Princess, and it is impossible to hijack a heavyweight in such a tight defense. ”
Ashur's words were grim though. But his willingness to discuss the details with the minotaur proves that Ashur is already a little tempted, and if this minotaur can come up with a reasonable mission plan, Ashur is really likely to accept it.
"Very well, it seems that you are ready to accept the mission." The Minotaur grinned in a seemingly innocent, but actually sly smile, "The City of the Stars is indeed heavily defended, but there is one exception - when someone is attacking the city. ”
Asher was stunned, and a slight bad premonition slowly appeared in his heart.
Sure enough, without waiting for Ashur to guess it, the minotaur said directly: "When someone attacks Starry Sky City, all the ethereal guards who are responsible for guarding the ecological dome will go to meet it, including the patrols and defense forces in the city, and some of them will be dispatched to fight, and the degree of defense will be greatly reduced." ”
"In this case, all you have to do is defeat Sharan. The guards around Arria, then kidnapped the starry princess who had no combat power, and left the starry sky city in the opposite direction without alarming anyone, and joined me outside the city. ”
Ashur was completely dumbfounded when he heard him talk about the whole plan.
From the time this minotaur said that he was going to be an enemy of the Star Lord, Ashur knew that he was crazy, but he didn't expect that this guy would be crazy to this extent.
The plan wasn't complicated, it wasn't so whimsical, the question was - attacking Starry Sky City, was this something that someone with a brain would do?
"That's right, I'll attack Starry Sky City while you're on a hijacking mission to divert your attention and buy time." Seeing Yasher's shocked expression, a touch of cruelty appeared on the Minotaur's face, and he said slowly, "The Starry Sky Lord usually sleeps in the Starry Sky Tower, from the time I started the siege to the time he woke up, we have half an hour, and after half an hour, if the Starry Sky Lord wakes up, then both of us will die here." ”
"Well, do you want to accept this task now?" The minotaur finished slowly, looked at Asher, and asked calmly.
Asher stared at him blankly for three seconds, and after three seconds, he took a deep breath and calmed down—only then did Asher realize what a crazy mission he had been involved in.
Once completed, the reward will make Asher almost invincible in the battle of adventurers, and once defeated, Ashur will be retaliated with irreparable, look at Mirinkiki, he just provoked the mythical Nerkana and will die all day long, Ashur offended, but the Star Lord and the Starlight Cluster.
Regarding this mission, there was still a faint worry in Ashur's heart, no one had offended the Star Lord before, so he didn't know how serious this revenge was, was it to kill Ashur once and drive him out of the astral plane permanently, or even chase and kill Kalan and completely destroy Ashur?
But according to speculation, most of the Star Lord Arria will not give up, and you can know it by thinking about it with your toes - if you kidnap all the daughters of other people, will they let you go?
From a rational point of view, Ashur should refuse this task, because now in the dispute between the three major forces, the Tower of Dusk occupies a transcendent advantage that is almost undefeated, even if it is only slowly entangled like this, the final victory is most likely the Tower of Dusk and Ashur.
However, as a god-level mage in his heart, as an adventurer, the enthusiasm for excitement and challenge is instigating Yashu to take on this task - and this reward is absolutely generous, once the task is successfully completed, he is really not afraid of heaven and earth!
Asher gritted his teeth, and the cold sweat on his forehead oozed again.
It was definitely a tough choice.
The minotaur had been standing beside Ashur, holding his arms and waiting for him to make a decision, but after a minute or two, Ashur was still silent for a long time, but became more and more silent.
The minotaur also had a twinkle in his eyes, a high-level being like him, all with their own stories and purposes, the starry sky princess Sharan. Arria was very important to him, so he would only say it before, and he would not hesitate even if Ashur asked him to die after the deed, but he didn't expect Ashur to still hesitate.
This is also understandable, offending the Star Lord in the astral plane, or in a head-on conflict with the Star City, not to mention that Yashu is a small arcane mage, not even reaching the mythical level, even the real gods have to weigh it.
"Well, if you help me with my mission, I can tell you one more thing in addition to the reward I promised you before, as an extra reward." After hesitating for a moment, the minotaur suddenly gritted his teeth.
"What's the matter?" Asher instinctively raised his head and asked.
"You've heard of the artifact staff of the True God, Akamoria. The Staff of the Blue Sky God. The minotaur smiled mysteriously.
When Asher spit out this name, it was as if he had been stunned by a heavy hammer, and he stood directly in place, and there was no other sound in his heart, only the name of this staff kept coming to his mind, lingering, and the memories of the gods rushed to his heart frantically, making every cell in Asher's mind roar!
Acamoraria. Scepter of the Blue Sky God!
The divine object that all arcane mages dream of, and the staff that countless god-level and god-king mages have gone crazy for, surpasses Etiyès. The Guardian's Staff of Mythology, beyond Hesdona. The Staff of Eternal Morning Radiance, the staff of the gods that is rumored to contain the true god-level mage Akamoria, who has learned throughout his life, Akamoria. Scepter of the Blue Sky God!
Mythology gets it, you can instantly get what a mythical-level mage has learned all his life, master countless mythical and god-level spells, mythical magic at your fingertips, and no cooldown of law skills, so that an ordinary arcane mage instantly has the ability to turn decay into magic.
A little stone into gold, all wishes come true, and there are no restrictions.
"I can't give it to you directly, but I think you'll be interested in this staff, and I can tell you a clue I've found in my adventures that might help you get your hands on it." The minotaur said with a smile, as if he was convinced that Ashur would not be able to refuse such a big temptation.
Ashur raised his head, kept taking deep breaths to try to calm his mood, and then the excitement and excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed still revealed his agitated mood at the moment, when this minotaur spit out this name, what starry sky lord, what mythical creature, in Ashur's mind, was thrown out of the clouds in an instant.
The tall, swarthy minotaur smiled and stretched out his palm to Asher, who slapped it heavily, squeezing away the mythical ring he had given him earlier.
"Deal, this time I have done it!"
Back to the City of Commerce, the Tower of Dawn, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, Asher and Dombelli came to the mage tower early to wait, and soon, the figure of the elven thief Shadow Wolf appeared in the distance, walking briskly towards here.
"Captain Ashur." The Shadow Wolf approached and greeted Asher very politely.
Most of these lone god-level masters value Ashur's status as the captain of the Tower of Twilight, and for them, being able to lead a group of god-level masters is great in itself, so most of them greet Ashur like this.
"Just call me Asher." Asher waved his hand and smiled. "If you want to call me Captain, you can join us in the Tower of Dusk, and you can call me every day when the time comes."
Hearing Asher's words, Dombeli rolled his eyes suddenly.
When is this time, I haven't forgotten to win people over.
Shadow Wolf also smiled and didn't continue, he knew that Ashur was mostly joking, there were already four thieves in the Tower of Dusk, three of them were stronger than him, and Shadow Wolf, an adventurer who was used to being alone, would not like such a team life.
Before anyone else came, Ashur chatted with the shadow wolf, this god-level master was known to Ashur before, and he came into contact with him because of the little dove, and he also had a common language.
And at the same time, in the commercial city of Galcut, in the open space in front of the Carol Church.
Seymus was the first to arrive, pacing back and forth in the clearing, holding his mythical staff, a remote area of Galqat where not many adventurers would come, and where Asher had designated a meeting place, where he was waiting for two other temporary teammates.
Seymus waited boredly as she walked around, her eyes constantly looking at the street corner not far away, waiting for the others to appear.
"I knew I wouldn't come so early, do it."
At this moment, he suddenly keenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching, with his attributes as an epic mage, it was not difficult to do this, Simos thought that his teammates were coming, and hurriedly looked at the corner of the street.
However, in the next second, his eyes suddenly froze.
The shadow wolf fang, whose whole body was covered in crimson armor, was carrying his two dragon head war hammers that had reached the mythical level after advancement, and walked steadily out of the corner of the street, walking towards the clearing step by step, he also raised his head to look ahead, and when he saw Semothy, he was also stunned.
A moment later, an angry and murderous roar suddenly rang out.
Almost without hesitation, an ice mist bloomed under Simos's feet, and the whole person disappeared in an instant, appearing in front of the Shadow Wolf Fang in an instant, and the ice spear in his hand condensed out and stabbed at him fiercely!
"Damn, I finally caught you, and I made you die a happy death today."
Before the shadow wolf fang could react to what was happening, Seamos had already attacked, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously took a step back and raised his arms, parrying this ice gun, the bright ice crystals instantly froze the wrist armor of the shadow wolf fang, and Simos continued to stab with an ice arrow relentlessly!
"What's wrong with you, I don't want to do it with you now, don't be embarrassed!" Shadow Wolf Fang kept backing away, casting his free skills to lift the freeze and reach for the hammer.
Seymour didn't seem to hear at all, and continued to attack with all her might.
His feud with Shadow Wolf Fang is not a day or two, as early as the time in the Ashes, the two had a conflict because of the fragments of the World Diamond, and then there was a battle, and Simos was killed twice in a row for various reasons, and a piece of equipment was blown off, and the two officially became enemies of life and death.
Ashur didn't know that there was such a thing between the two of them, so he didn't pay attention to this stubble at all, and directly arranged for the two to meet here, and Ashur didn't expect that the two of them recognized each other as soon as they met, and they had a big fight.
"Listen, you're called by Asher to help, aren't you?" Shadow Wolf Fang understood slightly more than the impulsive Seymours, and he parried the attack, and instead of fighting back, he asked urgently.
"What's the matter, fuck your uncle!" Seymour roared angrily.
"Very good, because Lao Tzu was also fucking asked by Asher to help, and now I don't want to be like you, so stop immediately, understand?" Shadow Wolf Fang was about to persuade him to stop first, but Seymus didn't eat it at all, and his temper immediately came up, roaring loudly.
"Got you mb, die!"
The two of them couldn't help but fight together, compared to the previous battle, now both of them are already epic masters, although they have not done their best, but the level of the battle has long exceeded the legendary level.
And the two of them gradually became angry, and between their moves, they also began to make big moves.
The mercantile city of Galkat is also known as the City of Chaos, where no one is protected except for members of the Goblin Traders' Guild, and brawls are commonplace.
Shadow Wolf Fang and Semothy are old enemies, after all, Shadow Wolf Fang took advantage of the previous battle and killed Semothy twice, so he was not very angry at this time, and Semothy's lungs were almost exploding, and the move between the attacks was fatal, clearly wanting his life.
Shadow Wolf Fang dodged several thrilling attacks, and gradually became angry, both of them moved real fire, and if they continued to fight like this, a fight to the death was almost inevitable.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from a distance, causing Shadow Wolf Fang and Semothy to stop their movements in unison and look to the side.
Wearing tight chain mail, Yaoguang stood not far away, looking at this place coldly, his hand holding the brilliant wrath of the stars, the bowstring full, aimed at the two of them from a distance, and the arrows of the meteorite fragments flashed deadly
