Chapter 164: Diamond Protection Squad
The elves of the world of Torrey were originally foreign intelligent creatures, and when the main god of the elves, Corellon, came to this world, he created the elven race.
The elves of the world of Torrell are rough and ugly, their bodies thin but powerful, like leaning monkeys. In order to adapt to the life of bows and arrows and forest hunting, they have thick joints and strong bones, and they are very good in both physical and spiritual quality, the only drawback is that their appearance is very different from the aesthetics of humans.
The proportions of their facial features are too strange compared to those of humans, and their features are very prominent, and the long pointed ears destroy the balance of the facial features, so that the appearance of the elves is too 'bizarre' for humans, and the pointed jaws make their faces appear distorted, and their eyes are raised, like wild beasts, and they are extremely weird.
In general, elves are a very distinctly alien race, and their aesthetics and biology are markedly different from those of humans.
But the two Maia are different.
They are like gods who have come out of legend, ancient heroes and demigods in this world, and to be fair, more divine than most gods. Because they themselves are perfect, symbols of cosmic aesthetics, the embodiment of harmony, elegance, order and beauty in everything. They have soft facial features, beautiful bodies, and demeanor with background soft lighting and chanting.
Even Leila and Ilminster felt a sense of oppression in front of them, and the crushing of their appearance brought load-bearing psychological pressure. It is difficult for them to even doubt these two Maias, to doubt the existence of this bright, beautiful divinity.
"Two Enu, I still can't understand your existence, your purpose? Purpose? History and past? We don't know anything about you, and we don't know how to receive you! Ilminster stared at their faces for a moment, then flickered away from the blinding soft light. He confessed his concerns.
Chen Ang and the other Maiya glanced at each other and said calmly, "We understand your concerns. Enu are demigods, born from the Force under the influence of Morgoth, and our most powerful brothers, Vera, are also part of the gods. Morgoth, or Mirkor, is the most powerful of us. ”
"We were part of this world. In the unknowingly breath of the Force, we blow through the universe, an ancient and long history in which we are unaware and unaware of only the essence and mission. We hid in all things, and our will manifested in the Breath of the Force, until Morgoth discovered us and He became one of us......"
Ilminster pulled out his pipe and pondered deeply, contemplating part of the nature of this Morgoth. But there are still too many things unknown in this world for him, and he can only barely understand part of the essence of Vera's existence.
"Do you know what our mission is?" Ilminster asked, smoking his pipe.
Chen Ang didn't speak, just raised his right hand, under the dim fireplace light, the light reflected on the two Maia became more and more intense, the platinum blonde hair of the two slowly flowed like a sacred, Chen Ang grabbed it with his backhand in this soft light, as if he had grabbed something. He spread his palms. An indescribably beautiful gem lay quietly in the palm of his hand.
The light on the two Mai's bodies suddenly dimmed, and all the light converged on the center of the diamond. Brilliant, more dazzling than the sun, more sacred than the gods, a great and beautiful being that mortal things cannot look directly at.
Leila was already suffocating, she could not escape the captivity of this beauty, and in an instant this pure white gem conquered her. With the light and sacredness that is better than the stars, the sun and the moon. She stared at the diamond with her big bright eyes, and the eyes that were as bright as the stars in the past were nothing special against the background of the diamond, and she was so obsessed with it that she forgot everything.
Ilminster was horrified and freed from the temptation of the diamond. He feared the divine like a tiger, and after the ultimate greatness and dazzle, there was endless extreme pain and despair.
"This gem is ominous! Its brilliance is brilliant, but it is also bloody and desperate, and I have seen the shadow and misery of the abyss behind its light, this gem has received the favor of fate, the goddess of luck has cursed it, and the goddess of doom has blessed it. For it is glorious, and it will be destroyed! ”
Ilminster asserted the Radiant Diamond, and he turned his head sideways, not daring to look at it.
"Nonsense! Ilminster, this is obviously a holy jewel, and its great power and extreme splendor can bring this dark light, and bring happiness and goodness to this world. We can all feel its purity and love, it is pure goodness that leaves no impurities, and it is blessed by the gods......" Leila retorted.
"The Great Sage is right...... Maia, a woman who had not spoken, began, "This is a glorious being blessed by the gods and favored by the Force, but it is also a being cursed by Morgoth. He sealed light and divinity in the shell of the gem, using the seven darknesss of jealousy, greed, fear, and laziness as the shell of the gem. ”
"This is a cursed gem that has been sealed with great power."
"You mean to say that the Lord of Darkness fears this gem?" Ilminster was keenly aware of what she had not said, "Whoever tries to possess this divine power will be unfortunate with the curse that Mirko has placed on it, and this diamond will bring disaster, war, and doom to its owner." ”
"Even he can't avoid it!" Chan Aung added, "Mirko lifted his eye into the sky with the first diamond, and became the Eye of Morgoth, a star hanging due north. Pollute and transform the world with the power of magic and diamonds, and rule over all darkness and evil under the light of the stars. ”
"This is the first diamond – the star on which the sun never sets."
"He intends to sink the second diamond into the core of the abyss, and let eternal inferno and lava cover it, burying the hope of light forever. But we stole the diamond......"
Maia added, lifting her hood to reveal her face completely, and the bartender on the side exclaimed, "It's you, Miss Erwin!" Didn't you die in the underground labyrinth? ”
"Morgoth can't get close to the Diamond, because the more powerful he is, the more tricky the curse becomes, and therefore his right-hand men can't guard it. In the end, he had to send a barely powerful man, a goblin named 9527, to guard the gem in the core dungeon of the Underground Labyrinth, waiting for the day when he told him that it would sink into the abyss. ”
"No one can infiltrate the heart of the underground labyrinth, where there is a lot of danger, and one of the Rings, Helast, never leaves it, and with the help of the Chainlock and the Ring, he is invincible even to the gods. But the Lord of Darkness overlooked one thing - no one could get in. But some people are already in it......"
Erwin sighed deeply, "The gods rescued several Maia when the diamond fell, and attached them to the diamond's light, even Morgoth could not help them. That's when Saruman Damaia rescued us, allowing me to escape the underground labyrinth with the diamond, and luckily received the diamond's approval as a member of the demigod Maia. ”
"The forces of darkness are rampant, and the Eye of Morgoth hangs high above the earth, bringing a dark frenzy and a core of evil to the world. But Morgoth is perfect, immortal, and will never sink as long as the Dark Force exists. Only the power in the diamond can defeat him, and only the breaking of the diamond can calm everything down......"
Chen Ang threw the light of the diamond high, shining all over the room, and he made a promise with the power of the diamond like the Force, and asked:
"You are willing to escort the diamonds. Leave the city of eternal night, out of Morgoth's sight? Willing to bring light and hope to humanity and all things. Will it bring peace and prosperity to Faerun? ”
Ilminster glanced at Leila, felt the trembling of the silver fire in his body, felt the approval and kindness of Mystra, put their hands in the light of the diamond, and said in unison, "Do what you want!" ”
Chen Ang put away the diamond with his backhand, allowing him to melt into the light. He led the three of them to the fireplace and spread out the map around it.
"On the surface of Sword Bay, it is the place where Morgoth and the God of Scourge clashed, a powerful army under the command of the Dark Lord is also here, and the Sword Mountain Range to the north is the base camp of the monsters near Waterdeep. Ogre and orc legions are stationed here. The trade route to the southeast is also a place where the blockade is very tightly checked, and the cunning Drow is in charge of this route. ”
"How about going east along the Desarin River?" Erwin suggested.
"The road to death! The evil creatures of the High Forest are endless, and we never know how many of them have been inspired by the Eye of Morgoth, and I have no hope for that! ”
"The trade trail is relatively easy!" Ilminster tapped on the map, "I have some good friends there, and it's closer to the land of the gods we're going to. ”
"But the evil presence of the Supreme Wasteland can be maddening, and there is another factor that is also dangerous." Chen Ang said solemnly: "Kelburn. The black robe is a strong-willed mage, but he still succumbs to the power of darkness. Can those who belong to the camp of evil, those who seek power and power, resist this temptation? ”
Ilminster shook his head: "No, those rings, those rings are not something that ordinary people can resist, it comes from the corruption and pollution of the soul, I used to be arrogant and thought that I could defeat it, but I was wrong, I lost to it, and almost lost everything." With the help of the lady I sealed the ring, but I was negligent ...... Kelburn"
"So much so that his soul fell into darkness! He sneaked up on me and took the bronze ring, which was within range of Morgoth's Lock. I knew then that the temptation of darkness is hard to resist and overcome, and I don't think there are more people who can resist it. ”
Chen Ang stared at the map, "So we have new dangers and enemies, the Ringbearers who are chasing the power and power of Morgoth, the Nineteen Rings, including Hylast. Black robe, Kelburn. The Black Rod, and many more evil, even righteous beings, will hunt us down at Morgoth's command. ”
"The best warriors of the gods, the best adventurers of the good faction, will come to our aid, and they will join us at different times until we find a way to break the shell of the Radiant Diamond." Leila relayed Mistra's good news for everyone. "We're going to have a bunch of the best squads, and this operation has the absolute support of the gods of justice......"
"And the greedy peeps of the evil gods!" Chen Ang interrupted her.
"Elwin's forces and I won't be able to hold back the diamond for long, and in fifteen days at the latest, the Eye of Morgoth will be able to spy on us with another diamond, and if we haven't reached a safe place by then, the diamond's boiling curse will leave us trapped in the midst of evil."
"After fifteen days, we need a minimum safe place to rest for two days, otherwise this mission will be a complete failure......"
Because of a strange gem, the eyes of the gods were projected, and the entire Faeron Continent was surging, and the diamond protection team was eager to leave this dark base camp, but leaving the city of eternal night was not as easy as it was to talk about it. (To be continued......)
