Chapter 155: Game of Thrones
Primordial magic power surged in the narrow plane, Chen Ang held the brilliant red crystal in his right hand, and a powerful magic power wave erupted from the crystal, with Deep Water City as the center, sweeping a distance of hundreds of miles. The magic net in the void shook violently, but it was smoothed by a powerful will in the dark.
But the sequelae of mana fluctuations take quite some time to go away.
During this period of time, prophecy magic and magic will be offset and interfered with by the original magic power, communication magic will be extremely exhausted, and it will hardly be able to cross a distance of more than ten miles, and the portal will also be destroyed in the magic fluctuation just now. Until the magic fluctuations subside, long-distance teleportation will be extremely risky.
Considering Chen Ang's powerful ability to control the space, as well as the monitoring of the Mage Tower, this danger was almost raised to an absolutely deadly level. Within this range, the spatial control is lower than that of Chen Ang, and it is necessary to pass Chen Ang's verification before the teleportation technique takes effect, and once the verification fails, depending on Chen Ang's will, he will be exiled or cut into space, or even punished by spatial annihilation.
After the red crystal magic exploded, the brilliant brilliance gradually dimmed, but this was not the gray that lost its power, but more like the subtlety of the light, not powerful, but extremely pure magic, from the red crystal to Chen Ang's fingertips. It was a power that came directly from primordial magic, pure and powerful.
Hylast felt the wail of the web, and he seemed to see the arcane flames burning in the depths of the red crystal, a blasphemy against Mystra, an artifact that directly connected to the furious primordial magic.
Although it is weaker, fragile, and immature than the magic web, like the nascent seedling under the towering tree.
Someday. It would shake the throne of the Goddess of Magic, like Shar's Shadow Demon, for they were all great beings born of primordial magic, and Helast looked at the crystal with the eyes as if she were looking at a young god. Its nobility is far above that of mortals. Therefore it will not respond to orders other than those of its owner.
Only Aang Chan can possess it, only Aang Chan can command it, and only submit to the artifact of its creator, which is the Force Crystal!
Hylaste looked at this great creation of the arcane law with fascination, and at this moment even the imprint of the Supreme Ring engraved on his soul was shaken, this is the supreme pursuit of the mage, and Helast felt that in his soul, the arcane fire representing the highest miracle of the arcane law was trembling. He instinctively sensed that at the heart of the crystal. Burning the only intact arcane fire of the main plane.
Only Mystra, the complete arcane fire mastered by Shar, comes from the gift of primordial magic.
"Great master, please allow me to know its name!" Submitted to the glory of the arcane fire, Helast prayed that the name of the crystal would be his channel of communication with the crystal, and that he could use the powerful primordial magic through it. Cast spells, the spell slots he can use for each level. Will expand by +2.
And its magic power comes from artifact crystals, not magic nets.
Chen Ang gave him the imprint of the crystal.
Silver threads spread from Aang's right arm, and the Mithril threads, activated by magic, are wound around the crystals, weaving beautiful silver patterns, and runes and magic words form long poems on the silk threads, which is a hymn to the primordial magic.
Flowing silver threads. On Chen Ang's fingertips weaved into a dark silver short stick, it was about two palms long, the crystal was located on its center of gravity, and the crimson light was hidden beneath the mythril, magic words and runes. Woven with the power of crystals. Pure power from primordial magic! Chen Ang's right hand clenched it.
With the penetration of psychic power
Airplanes! A bang.
The crimson light spread from the crystal to the Mithril Shortstick, and the clear red light appeared along one end of the Shortstick on the sword's head, and the pure and powerful magic and psychic power combined to form a blazing red light blade.
This is a Sith lightsaber, it has the characteristics of the violent and powerful force of the force of this world, and also contains the pure quiet power of Chen Ang's mind, it is the silence from the darkness that suppresses the violent characteristics of the primordial magic, making this weapon have great lethality and unparalleled stability.
It is the embodiment of primordial magic, the crystallization of the dark side of primordial magic (the Force), the quiet side, it is both gentle and furious, and its blade is unstoppable, not even by the gods. Those who hold it will be favored by primordial magic and have a stronger ability to interfere with the mind, but they will also be attacked by the dark side.
It is only subservient to its creator, and while even its creator is not immune to the Dark Side, if it is not its creator who has mastered it, then beware of the constant temptation of this weapon and the betrayal at the moment of truth.
Hylaster presented Chen Ang with nineteen magic rings scattered among the ashes.
The Three Rings of Jewels, which symbolize art and magic, the Seven Rings of Iron, which symbolize strength and blood, and the Nine Rings of Copper, which are the most complex and deeply infected by the source of evil, represent power and desire.
"Power and lust!" Chen Ang played with a bronze ring, observing the world through the eyes of the ring, the gray scene, the distorted extroversion, and the real ugliness and darkness, worthy of the most evil nine rings, without the gem three rings from the elves high magic great arcane lock power, without the iron seven rings powerful destruction magic.
But it is the most complex, the most evil, and the most corrupting of the Ring's heart and soul among the nineteen rings. Its power comes from the heart, and it also acts on the heart, and its strength is not worse than the other ten rings. Even closer to the presence of the One Ring.
"This is a ring that belongs to humanity!" Chen Ang smiled and said, "It is the ring of the king of men, the ring of betrayal and conspiracy, darkness and killing, power and desire. But it's not exactly what it stands ......."
"Why? Master, these rings are powerful enough to influence the sanity of the gods! They are no less dangerous than the Shri Sutra, and the power of the One Ring is even greater than it. The power of the Celestial Sutra comes from lies, but the power of the One Ring comes from true greed, and truth is always better than lies! Hyraster wondered.
"It is a ring of power, but it does not represent power, it is not stained with ambition and madness, and those 'noble' blood who are obsessed with power, it cannot be regarded as a complete ring of power, only a game of thrones can make it complete!" Chen Ang placed a bronze ring in the palm of Helast's hand and smiled, "Let it be stained with blood!" ”
Hylaste raised his head excitedly, his messy beard shook his face, but his eyes were still glowing with blood, "Understood, my master." Waterdeep will only be the master's. ”
Chen Ang shook his head, "It's not difficult to control this city, but it's not easy to get the attention of the gods. What do you have to say, I know you're a good hand at playing with power. Chen Ang paused slightly, and said slowly: "There are some words that will kill people if they are late." ”
"Other people's lives are fate!" Chen Ang spread his hands and said, "If it is not necessary, do not kill!" ”
He just looked at Hylast's beard that hung down to his chest, and Hylast carefully organized his language, and he regained his usual composure and grace, except for the madness in his eyes, like a council nobleman.
"The host...... It's a great city, and its greatness is that it's not a city that belongs to anyone, it's free, it's open, it welcomes anyone, and it doesn't belong to anyone. The Council of Sixteen Lords governs and controls the entire city, and the identities of everyone except the mayor are kept secret. ”
"They make public appearances with masks, some of them know each other's identities, some don't, but the open lords, the mayors of Waterdeep, know the identities of all the lords."
For the first time, Helast smiled smugly in front of Chen Ang, "I have witnessed the growth of this city, and even single-handedly created it. I have enough influence over the city, in fact, there are two secret lords under my control, and their lordship even comes from their adventures in the underground labyrinth. ”
"They gained prestige, wealth, and power, so they worked for me, even if they were ostensibly harpists, or other powers. These powers are at your fingertips. ”
"Tricks, wealth, intrigue and political allies, this Game of Thrones is wonderful, but, my witch king, the rules of the game are something that other people abide by, and the smartest thing you can do when playing chess with someone else is not a clever chess skill, just need to remove his chess pieces." Chen Ang smiled.
"The premise of all this is that you have the power to do so." Chen Ang sighed, "Do we have it?" King? ”
"The reason why those lords became lords is because the city is controlled by those people, they are allies, they are the city, and direct killing will only destroy the entire city."
"They're lords?" Chen Ang nodded and said, "Who proves?" ”
"The Council of Sixteen Lords is very tight, they have a very high means of identifying them, I don't even know the identities of some of them, master!" "There's no way we're going to replace them, and if we use an assassination attempt, it's going to provoke a reaction from the whole city," Hylast explained. ”
"You're wrong! King. Chen Ang shook his head and said, "Whether it is a lord or not, the token cannot be proven, and even what they said does not count." The opinion of the majority determines this, but the opinion of the majority, we count. ”
"Who's the lord of the city! I say it! ”
The lightsaber swung a beautiful galaxy in Chen Ang's hand, and the red light was like a distorted galaxy and sunset in the sky, winding across the sky, transforming a sky underground.
Helast was amazed by Chen Ang's superb swordsmanship, but heard Chen Ang's clear voice in his ears.
"I'd like to see those two lords after dinner, and a list of confirmed lords!" Chen Ang said in a low voice.
On the most prosperous route of Sword Bay, Waterdeep, the glorious city of extreme prosperity, is about to usher in a bloody power game, prosperity and corruption, power and crime, the most luxurious and dirtiest place, a thick blood spreads. (To be continued......)
