Chapter Seventy-Six: The Witch
Revaran quickly came to the place where the enemy had just appeared, and the warrior retinue and Link carefully anchored behind Revaran, and the ball of light in mid-air fell silent, and the surroundings were dark again.
Link forcibly soothed his violently beating heart, and followed behind Revaran in fear, glancing back at the dead mage behind him from time to time, although Link couldn't see clearly, Link could almost imagine the despair and disbelief on the mage's face.
Such a powerful mage who could use the sixth level of arcane was killed here without resistance, and he couldn't even see the appearance of the enemy, and the second strongest man in the Shadow City, Revaran, was unable to protect him, all of which terrified Link.
Revaran paused for a moment where the enemy was retreating, picked up something, looked at it expressionlessly for a moment, then looked at the giant candelabra in the hall, smiled rather self-deprecatingly, and said to the warrior, "Go and get the magic items from the mage." ”
The warrior's retinue faithfully obeyed the order to touch the corpse of his companion, and Link subconsciously approached Revaran, watching Link's performance, Revaran let out a chuckle: "I can't protect you, I don't know if I can go back yet." ”
Looking at Link's surprised expression, Revaran spread out his hands and showed what he had just picked up: a palm-sized scale, looking at Link's confused expression, Revaran asked, "Did you just see what it was?"
Link recalled the tall but agile figure and said uncertainly, "Golem?"
Hearing Link's words, Revaran smiled miserably: "If only the Golem were the Golem, I didn't fully see it, it was too fast, but I know what it was now, it was the Creator Race, the Witch." ”
The warrior with a large number of magic items carried by the dead mage came back, just in time to hear Revaran's words, the dimensional bag in his hand actually fell to the ground, Link looked at the panicked performance of this powerful warrior, and felt very absurd in his heart, and then carefully observed Revaran's expression, Link was surprised to find that Revaran's expression was also a little far-fetched.
"It's not a relic of Nesseril at all, it's something much older, it's a pity that I haven't learned the history of Nesserior well, otherwise I should have noticed it soon, Nas lied to me, it seems that he was rebelled by my brother. ”
Link was speechless when he heard Revaran's words, the ghost mage named Nas was indeed a double agent, and Revaran thought that he was a spy he had planted in the Nether Archaeology Department, but in fact he had defected.
"What exactly are you looking for?" Link couldn't help but ask.
"Karlsor, Nas sent me information that there is likely another Karlser hidden here, I was deceived, I don't know if he didn't enter the ruins at all. Revaran said indifferently, then led the two back to the hall, closed the door, set up multiple magic alarms, and took food and water from the dimensional bag, ready to rest and start the breakout.
Link somewhat understands why Revalan came to this site under such circumstances, the Karser Stone is a color-resistant artifact mastered by the Nethers, and it is an indispensable object for making the Shadow Skydome, since the Battle between the Nethers and the Goddess of Magic, the Karlser Stone has been transferred from the Supreme Glacier to the Netherworld City, and it is tightly protected, and if the voters want to stop the Netherlands from melting the Supreme Glacier, they must destroy the Carlser Stone necessary to make the Shadow Skycanopy, and now the key to the war is the safety of the Kalser Stone.
If there is an extra Karlser Stone at this time, the strategic situation of the Shadow Spirits will undoubtedly change drastically, and Revaran, who has made great achievements, will be able to break away from the current unfavorable political situation.
Looking at Revaran, who was very cooperative with his question, Link's heart moved, and he wanted to ask Revalan if he really did something to the Supreme Prince's talisman, and also wanted to ask him why he had a conflict with Shar, but he still held back the doubts in his heart, after all, the more he knew, the worse it was for him.
Link took the bladder and brioche bread handed over by Revaran, and swallowed it in a big gulp, the soft bread was mixed with nuts and cheese, and the flour used to make the bread was also a fine white flour that had been sifted five times, with butter and cream from Cormyr's South Farm, and wild honey from the King's Forest, Link couldn't help but think of his life in his previous life as he ate this familiar white bread, and almost shed tears, but when he thought of the dangerous situation now, his heart was a little bitter, and he was even more disgusted when he smelled the stench of corpses in the air.
Taking a sip of mare's milk wine in the bladder, Link asked curiously, "What exactly is a witch?"
Revaran took small sips of the torn bread into his mouth, and said casually: "An ancient empire tens of thousands of years earlier than the Nethrel Empire, the Witch Fly is a half-human, half-snake intelligent race, and now the scaly things such as the Lizardmen, Snake People, and Naga of Faeron are all created by the Witch with magic, and several empires created by the Witch were destroyed due to internal strife long before the establishment of the Nesser. ”
Looking at Link's somewhat disapproving expression, Revaran swallowed the food in his mouth and said very secretly: "The Witch has played an important role in the development of Nesser, and the Scroll of Colorless was given to Nessreel, as well as the famous earth prophet Asindo in the history of Nessryl, he is the teacher of many great arcanists, in fact, he is also a witch. ”
Link was surprised to hear Revaryn's words, he didn't expect that the famous Colorless Scroll was actually made by the Witch, it sounded like the relationship between the Witch and the Nessreel Empire was more like a teacher and a student, so why did this happen?
As if seeing Link's doubts, Revaran said slowly: "The witch is purposefully approaching humans, and Nesshrel didn't know about the existence of the witch before it perished, or after the Yin Soul City came to the shadow realm, he learned about the existence of the witch from the mouth of the goddess and some shadow lords, and it took years of research to gradually know some of the things of the past, and you also saw their attack on humans here, and the love of the year is long gone." ”
After thinking about it, Revaran added: "Most of the current witches are sleeping in the ruins left by their original empire, I didn't expect to find a witch ruins here, the number of witches is very rare, but the strength is strong, almost all of them have the strength of the legendary rank, if there are more than one witch here, we can't get out." ”
Link understands that the relationship between the Witch and the Nessera Empire back then is very complicated, and according to the meaning revealed in Revaran's words, I am afraid that the Shadow City has already come into contact with the Witch, and the two sides did not take into account the love of the year, I am afraid that they have become mortal enemies, so they were used by Ryvaran's opponent to introduce Ryvaran to this witch's ruins.
Link thought of a very critical question at this time, looked at Revaran, who was in a good mood, and couldn't help asking, "What is hidden in my body?"
