Chapter 261, Star Dome Railway
The black scene mingled with the thin white mist, Aaron was half-kneeling on the ground, his blood constantly running down his nostrils, and the children of chaos painfully brushed the Moradin Thunder Curse scroll, which had lost its divine power, and regretted it in his heart.
Moradin's all-out blow wasn't meant to be used against Birac, but in this case, he had to.
The smell of the air tasted bitter, Guillon's water evaporated in large areas under the explosion of Birac, leaving a white breath, and the pungent smell of the chaotic energy escaping after the defeat of the Shadow King made Aaron cough incessantly, he gave himself a healing magic, felt the chaotic magic in his body, and silently watched the scene in front of him.
He would have liked to see Birak's body, but he didn't, he defeated Birac and banished him, but he didn't kill Birak.
The threat of the Primordial Demon Prince remains, but next time, Moradin's Thundering Spell will not give him a single blow.
"You've done a great job, guest of the Moonflower family." The elven lich Bertha-the Unreasonable Wanderer floated from nearby, and the lich who had just finished using the Prayer Spell could clearly feel that his magic power had dropped a lot, and his movements had slowed down, and Belsa came to Aaron's side and watched in the direction in which Birac had disappeared: "You have solved a great threat, and now, you are allowed to leave Mystrono safely." ”
"You're heartless." Aaron glanced at the elven lich who was close to him, "I think I've solved at least a big problem for you." ”
"Maybe, maybe not." The elven lich Bersa said in his own shriveled tone: "I don't care so much, now that everything is done, I can let you leave the mystery of Zono safely, which is the greatest mercy to you, you are a human after all, and this place is not for you." ”
"I picked out a gift for you from the treasury, and now, take it with you and get out of here." Bielsa took out a box filled with pearls and jadeites and brought it to Aaron.
"What is this?" Aaron took the box, and inside was a cloak made of dark blue silk, with countless silver runes printed on the collar, symbolizing the rank mark of the elven general imprinted on the neckline, and under the calm lines of the silk surface, the surging magic like the sea was flowing.
"Many people come to Mistron for such a magical object." The elven lich raised his head and looked into the distance: "Commander's Cloak, a relic of the Crown Age, you are very lucky, a guest of the Moonflower Family, since the ancient times, except for the Eternal Gathering Island, there are very few people who can make such strange things." ”
The Cloak of the Commander, an extremely rare magical item.
In the war between the Orc Empire and the Elven Empire in ancient times, every time the elven generals wearing the commander's cloak entered the battlefield, it would trigger the subconscious fear of the orcs.
With several crown wars, the power of the elves has greatly declined, and the commander's cloaks have mostly gone to the grave with the elven generals, but there are still some cloaks left.
In addition to being a status symbol, this piece of equipment is also a powerful magical equipment, which can directly defend against all magic below the 3rd ring, and all creatures with elven blood can get a huge morale bonus within a hundred meters of the cloak.
Finally, the cloak also grants the caster a cast success rate bonus and increases the wearer's intelligence stats.
On the black market in the realm, the value of the Elven Commander's Cloak is estimated to be between 38,000 and 80,000 Gold Lion.
"It's too precious for me to take it." Aaron hesitated for a few seconds, but returned the cloak to the lich, and he smiled, "Besides, if I accept it, won't it mean that I will agree to leave the mystery now?" I still have something to do. ”
"What else do you have to deal with?" The elven lich said impatiently.
"I promised a man to get a bottle of water from the pool of light." Aaron took out the bottle.
He told the elven lich about Anomin.
The elven lich was silent for a few seconds: "Then you go, the water of the pool of light has been corrupted like the Chain, and any promise to treat it as a healing tool is a lie, but ...... The gods and monsters of Kalinshan are indeed elusive, and it is not impossible for the air gods to really want a bottle of radiant water. ”
After saying that, Bielsa-Incomprehensible suddenly seemed to remember something, and the elven lich took out several sets of bundled scrolls: "By the way, looking at your appearance, you look like an arcane spellcaster and a magic caster, since you have a close relationship with the Silver Madonna, my research may be useful to you." ”
"Fetch the water and get out of here, that's my last piece of advice."
Bielsa-The Incomprehensible vanished into the night, leaving behind several sets of scrolls and chests containing the Elven Warlord's Cloak.
Aaron no longer refuses the kindness of the elven lich, who, like his name, is a very stubborn incomprehensible.
Picking up the scroll and flipping it through slightly, Aaron's eyes lit up.
The elven lich had nothing to do for hundreds of years, so he devoted all his energy to studying the "ladder of the highest", and achieved some results.
What is the "Ladder of the Highest"?
The Supreme Ladder is a channel for communication between the gods and the main material plane in the ancient times of the kingdom, when the boundary between the gods and mortals was not so obvious, the gods can directly send incarnations to the world through the Supreme Ladder without spending a lot of divine power to cross the crystal wall system, and mortals can also directly lead to the gods and gods in the outer plane through the supreme space.
According to the research of the elven lich, it was not until some time after the elves came to the kingdom that the gods began to prohibit the appearance of new supreme ladders for some reason.
(AO will only give orders, he never explains why)
However, there are still some "Supreme Ladders" remaining, for example, Waterdeep City also has a Supreme Ladder, because of the existence of this ladder, almost all the gods in the kingdom as long as they have faith in Waterdeep will participate in the temple celebrations in the form of incarnations on their holy days (the existence of the Supreme Ladder allows them to save a lot of divine power).
Another example is that the Valley of Shadows once hid a supreme ladder, and in the turbulent years, the second generation of the goddess of magic, Mystra, wanted to return to her kingdom through here, and reported to the god Ao that the theft of the Tablet of Destiny was the work of the three gods of death, but was killed by the god of guardians Haim, who was guarding the door of the Polestar camp.
The Supreme Ladder in the Valley of Shadows was later destroyed by the attacking Bane and Santarim.
Bielsa, the Incomprehensible, has detailed the results he has collected on the Supreme Ladder, and the elven lich may still be dreaming that the elven gods, led by Corellon Rathrian, will one day take it upon themselves to reforge the glory of the Myster.
As for whether this dream will come true one day, Bielsa himself is not very confident, but just like the occasional bubble of the glory of the former Lost Zono can be seen in the city due to the confusion of time and space, it is meaningless, but it is already very satisfying for the elven lich.
People always have to dream when they live.
It just so happens that Aaron may really have the ability to create a Supreme Ladder again, and if the astral magic that he bypassed the magic net was not interfered with by the God of God, then he would not have attracted the attention of the God of God by making a Supreme Ladder according to the method described in Belsa's information.
But this new ladder of the highest is about to be replaced by my own name, Aaron Salian.
Pregnant.
Let's call it the "Star Dome Railway"!
…………
With the defeat of Birac, calm returned to Mistrono.
Headless Mind Flayer corpses and their blood tell the story of a not-so-fair encounter, and the Sadistic Demons have hunted enough heads to return to the Chaos Realm contentedly to show off the spoils of another hunt.
The Tzeentch demons tasked with guarding the portal were so dedicated to this change to the Lord of Change that they dissipated with the wind, leaving behind the bewitched Elves.
The Great Impure suddenly lost his mana supply at the moment when he was about to decide the battle with Felin Demon Kui, and the good children of the loving father unfortunately swallowed a defeat, but Grandpa Nurgle was always so kind, she would surely forgive the children who suffered small setbacks, wouldn't she?
As for the dying Felin Demon Kui, who was infected with the Nurgle plague and vomited all over his body by putrefactive bile at close range, he could only ask for more blessings.
Except, a severed purple head.
The Slaanesh Keeper in a one-on-one real man (?) In the battle, he was beheaded by Bane's divine son, Yin Chiathutu-Sham, and on his bewitching and twisted head were empty eyes that had lost his crazy and prodigal look, and the glazed eyes of the Keeper of Secrets were pierced and spit out with his tongue, and the air was filled with a distorted smell of incense, and the power of tyranny sealed the escape route of the Keepers, and the remnants of Bane's power were revealed in Shham.
He is also the only one of the Lost Wonders who not only retreats in the face of the Chaos Army, but also defeats the Great Demon in the opposite battle.
The various forces in the city are trying to find the cause and effect of this demonic invasion.
On the way to the pool of light, Aaron encountered a group of Losandar believers lying in a pool of blood.
The Dawn seekers suffered a fatal blow in the battle with Birak, suffering heavy casualties, with about a third of the Loshanda cultists killed on the spot, a third seriously wounded, and a third lightly wounded.
Among them, the final injury was the legendary priest "Dawn Lord" Rockefeller, and the legendary priest at this time had entered a near-death state.
"Dude, are you alright?"
After Aaron arrived, he didn't say a word, and directly released a six-ring life system magic recovery technique to Rockefeller, and the Great Lord of Dawn was rescued from the death line.
"Thank you, sir." Rockefeller, the Great Lord of Dawn, thanked Aaron, and the legendary priest of Loshanda couldn't stop feeling lost and sad on his face: "I have heard your name, Aaron Salion, the Champion of Kings, the Chosen of the Silver Virgin. ”
During the healing process, Rockefeller told Aaron what had happened before.
"I'm the one to thank you, guys." Aaron did not hesitate to drain all of his magic, and a rain of green light rose among the dawn seekers, healing their injuries and soothing their wounded hearts.
The followers of Loshanda were grateful for Aaron's help, and he saved at least fifteen lives.
But as Aaron said, it was not these Losanda believers who should be thankful, but him.
The appearance of this group of Dawn Seekers helped Aaron a lot, and if it wasn't for their battle with Birac, Aaron wouldn't have defeated Birac so easily.
The Primordial Demon Prince was so proud of his power that out of disgust with the light, Birac crushed Losanda's Sun Stone with his hands, crushing Loshanda's divinity.
Not only did he not get any benefit from this act, but he was injured by the divinity of Losanda and did not feel it without a fight, and after the war with Aaron, Birac found that Loshanda's divine power had suppressed his strength, his movements became much slower, his spell casting became obscure, and his proud power dropped quickly.
Although the Primordial Demon Prince is a supreme existence at the level of divine power, he does not have a divine kingdom, and it is difficult to connect to the subspace, so although his power is strong, he can use a little less.
This group of Loshanda believers was kind of a knife for Aaron.
Aaron recalled what the emperor had said.
"Birac always fails because of his arrogance, but no matter how many times, he will come back."
After a brief rest in the camp, Aaron left as much of the supplies he was carrying for the dawn seekers, and left a golden ticket for 1,000 gold coins as a token of gratitude.
The believers of Losanda always have a glorious power and are never afraid of sacrifice, and in this alone, they also have the brightest side of human nature, Aaron does not like to get too close to them, because they are easily burned, but he also has to admit the rationality and necessity of their existence, without these idealists, the kingdom is bound to be less bright.
"You're going to the Moande Way?" Rockefeller, the Great Lord of Dawn, learned of Aaron's plan, and he wondered if Aaron was crazy.
After such a blow, the Dawn Seekers had already planned to retreat from Mystrono for the time being, and without the Sunstone of Losanda, they would not be able to gain a foothold here, and after hearing Aaron's plan, the first reaction of the Lord of Dawn was to persuade Aaron not to be impulsive.
Aaron was so insistent that Rockefeller had to tell the Moander Way, located in the north of the city, where to go.
After saying goodbye and fetching a bottle of water from the Pool of Light, Aaron took one last look back at the ruins of the city in the mist and left the city of Mystrono.
This is not a place that Aaron can explore now.
But he vowed that the next time he came here, everything would be different.
…………
At the edge of the Valley of the Shadows, at the outpost of the Great Forest of Comanso, Anomin from Kalinshan sat and looked out over the Black Forest in the distance.
His Excellency Aaron Salian has been in for several days and has not yet come out.
Under the gray sky, the temperature was getting colder and colder, and Anomin was wrapped in a half-worn robe, cursing the damn wet weather.
What Kalinshan's son of Pasha hated most was the wet and cold weather in the Black Forest, the kind of chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, Ann Nuomin once thought that no matter how cold the weather was, it would be enough to wear a camel skin jacket on the outside and a fleece shirt on the inside, but it rained in the past few days, which really made him choke on the cold.
Why hasn't Aaron come out yet?
Anomin stabbed his sword on the ground and fell to one knee, praying for guidance from his gods.
Abbrando, my lord, I pray every day, but you do not answer.
Listen to my prayers and answer my call.
Otherwise, I'm going to be finished, Mother, and I'm going to be done!
The son of Kalinshan pleaded bitterly, but there was no answer.
Anomin hung his head in disappointment, his god, Abbrando, had rarely answered the prayers of his faithful since the years of turmoil.
After staying for a while, Annomin got up in a state of frustration, intending to return to the cheap inn in the Valley of the Shadows to spend another boring day.
But today, things have changed.
"Annomin, son of the Pasha...... I hear you. ”
"My lord!"
"I woke up from the darkness and I'm weak now...... I need your help and I will save your mother. ”
"Go to the Moander Way, do as I say, listen to my voice, and I will guide you."
"Hurry, otherwise it will be too late!"
Unable to control his pounding heart at all, Anomin followed the sound into the Great Forest of Comanso without any hesitation.
Mother! Lord Aaron! Abrando my lord!
I'm coming!
