Chapter 572: Shar, You'll Be a Banner (7k)

Townsend looked down at the Goddess of the Night.

It seems that because of this unexpected situation, the goddess looks a little bit at this time. Stupid?

I have to say that with the other party's appearance and figure, even if Sha'er's face is covered by the black feather mask, it also makes Tang Sen feel a strong contrast and cuteness.

The goddess is very good, and the goddess who lies on the ground and can't resist is even better.

So Townsend was in a happy mood.

"Ms. Share, I once said that it was always me who had the share of others."

His gaze wandered playfully on Sha'er's body: "However, you are too easily fooled, and I even feel a little boring." ”

Of course, Townsend knew that the reason for this was because Shar, as a god born from the primordial, believed too much in his own power.

Unless they are facing equally powerful gods, they can do everything they want with almost a single thought, and they don't care about the so-called schemes of mortals, who have been crushing everything in their personality for countless years.

Until he met Townsend who was a higher person than Him.

Thal got up from the groundβ€”and in the process, he was clearly unaccustomed to it.

This feeling of completely losing her divine power and becoming a mortal was too foreign to Shar.

He had to look Townsend in the face for the first time, but in the depths of Townsend's happy expression, in his black pupils, he saw only indifference.

"What did you do. Neverwinter, what the hell is it? ”

"Only the Infinite Spike in the Outlands can make it possible for my divine power to be canceled, and you stole the power of the Infinite Spike?"

Townsend certainly knew about the Infinite Spike.

This magical mountain will limit all its power, and the closer it is to the center of the Infinity Peak, the stronger the restriction will be, and when it reaches the center, even a god with powerful divine power will definitely not be able to exert its power.

The only exception is the Lady of Pain, who and his sigil city are suspended high in the center of the Infinity Spike, but neither the power of the Lady of Pain nor the sigil city itself are affected by the Infinity Spike.

"Ms. Shar, the reason is not so complicated, and I don't need to steal the power of the Infinite Spike."

Townsend took a step forward, looking at Shar through the Black Feather Mask.

"It's just because this is my territory."

The corners of his mouth curled, and he lifted his hand to pinch Shar's chin.

"In my realm, all the laws will be made by me, and no one in this world can break it, including you, my goddess."

"Now, meet the Lord of Neverwinter, and confess to me the folly you have done for greed."

Then Shar found himself on his knees, uncontrollably.

As the Primordial Goddess, one of the few powerful beings in the multiverse, she knelt at the feet of the man in front of him, like the humblest of believers.

"How dare you!"

He squeezed the words out between his teeth: "How dare you blasphemeβ€”"

"Tsk, that's so uninspiring." Townsend interrupted his words, causing the power of words to temporarily disappear from his body: "As a god, how can you speak such a devastating word? ”

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, expecting you to be able to surprise me. At the very least, something different from mortals. ”

"It's a pity that I didn't see anything except more recklessness and stupidity."

With a wave of his hand, Shar's body levitated uncontrollably, his limbs expanding and restrained in front of Townsen.

"Look at yourself, Ms. Shar."

He turned sideways to allow Thar to look at the mortals standing in front of Neverwinter.

They could not comprehend what was happening in front of them, a god who had fallen in front of them like a slave, humiliated like a slave.

Even the most arrogant bard, after drinking an entire tavern of wine, would never be able to write such a bridge.

But it's all happening right in front of our eyes.

No one knows how to react, and even if it's just an illusion, it's a blasphemy that people would never dare to think of in their heads.

"You expose everything you have to the eyes of what you consider to be the most humble mortal." Tang Sen said: "Once, in their cognition, you are absolutely high, unattainable gods, and your single thought can make these mortals disappear. ”

"But now, you can only endure their gaze."

"And you, there's nothing you can do."

Tang Sen stroked Share's long black satin-like hair, and said softly, "I am not a cruel person, Ms. Shar, but I have a flaw as a person. ”

His fingers dug into his black hair, touching the black feathers.

"I'm holding a grudge."

With a movement of his wrist, Black Feather's mask disappeared with the wind.

The face of the goddess Shar was presented in front of everyone.

There is no need to describe the appearance of a goddess, beauty is only an embellishment to the gods, and Tang Sen grabbed Shar's chin, leaned closer, and said, "So, I'm thinking about how I should punish you. ”

Shar just stared at Townsend furiously.

"Don't worry, I'm not so bored as to play with your flesh, and I'm not so obscene as to let those mortals insult a god, I think such humiliation will only make you angrier, but it won't be enough to repay the loss you have caused me."

Townsend said calmly: "You need to pay the same price, if not more. ”

He let go of his hand, and the invisible force exerted on Shar dissipated, and Shar fell to the ground again.

"Mortal, you'll never know what stupid things you've done." Shar was finally able to speak, and he tried to maintain his dignity as a god and not lose his temper because of the fury in his heart.

But the threat in the discourse is real.

"Stupid?" Tang Sen asked rhetorically: "Ms. Share, your confidence is because the person standing in front of me is just an incarnation, right?" ”

"The formation of this incarnation is only from those poor believers who were sacrificed, even if I kill you, it will not affect the essence of your gods in the gray wilderness of God."

Tang Sen said calmly, "However, it won't be that simple, Lady Shar. ”

"As I said, this is my territory, and I really can't influence the divine fire in the kingdom of God, but your body can't interfere with your incarnation beyond my authority."

"Lady Shar, a part of your divinity has been imprisoned by me."

In the pitch-black pupils of Sha'er's purple eyes, Tang Sen's appearance was reflected, and her tone was low: "Meaningless." ”

"I will come to Feren and destroy everything beyond your borders, and all that you know, everything you know, will return to the original darkness once and for all."

"You can only tremble and hide in Neverwinter forever, until the long loneliness overwhelms you, until you take the initiative to stand in front of me and ask me for forgiveness, and then, I will be forgiving and give you the most cruel death."

"Mortal, you have imprisoned only my incarnation, and I will imprison your territory."

Tang Sen raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a relieved expression: "Ms. Sha'er, in this way, I finally saw the pattern of the gods. ”

"If you can do it, just let the horses come, I'm looking forward to seeing your kingdom of God come to Faerun."

"But before thatβ€”"

Townsend grabbed Shar by the neck and strolled towards the mortals, towards the gates of Neverwinter, the city of wonders.

"The gods of this world need to see the consequences of provoking Neverwinter."

"Lady Shar, you will be a banner, the banner of Neverwinter alone, to the multiverse."

With a slight strain on his arm, Shar's body flew towards the gates of Neverwinter, landing right in the center of the huge stone-carved plaque, like the decoration of the three big characters of "Neverwinter".

"Everyone who comes to Neverwinter, whether human, elf, dwarf, demon, devil, oracle, or even a true god, will see you for the first time."

"See a goddess who is bound in the most visible part of Neverwinter, unable to resist."

"Believe me, the creatures of the entire multiverse will be willing to pay a lot of money to see such a spectacle."

Tang Sen's eyes narrowed slightly: "The body incarnated by the gods, even if they don't eat or drink, should be able to exist alive for a long time."

"Maybe Neverwinter's entry fee is going to be increased again."

A tavern in Neverwinter.

Carmello's expression was still glazed, and he had temporarily lost the ability to express a shocked expression.

Thankfully, there was no shame in this, as it happened to almost everyone in Neverwinter, and in fact, the tavern, which was supposed to be full, was now a little emptyβ€”most of the people who heard the news had gone to the gates to see the goddess Shar in person.

Even if you need to pay the entrance fee again to get in.

The small number of people who did not go were not because they were reluctant to pay to enter the city, but because they did not intend to live in Neverwinter forever out of fear of the gods and the restraint of curiosity, and naturally they were worried about the revenge of the gods.

"Looks like I've added another amount of work to Barn." Townsend said in a relaxed tone, shaking the wine glass in his hand: "Mr. Carmello, but, shouldn't you be more willing?" ”

"After all, you know by now that it was Shar who distorted your memory, and she got her due retribution before your eyes."

When Townsend returned to Neverwinter, he had already lifted the distortion of Shar's memory, of course, it was only within the scope of Neverwinter, and outside the territory, Tangsen did not have the ability to influence Shar's divine power.

Carmelo smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Tangβ€”"

He paused and organized the language: "I'm just an ordinary person, to be honest, maybe the greatest honor in my life is when I met you in the tomb of the necromancer, although at that time I would never have imagined that a spellcaster we met like this would become the master of Neverwinter, set up a legendary award ceremony, and even defeated the goddess of the night"

"Life's chances can be so magical sometimes." Tang Sen asked with interest: "If you were asked to choose again, would you have chosen to leave the team in the first place?" ”

"Please don't make me think about this possibility." Carmelo shook his head: "The decision made at that time was a choice made by my heart, and the warrior monk is not allowed to regret his actions." ”

"Anyway." He continued the previous topic: "As an ordinary person, gods and so on, they are too far away from me. ”

He looked at Tang Sen and said seriously, "Even if I knew that it was Shar who distorted my memory, what could I do?" It's just silently endured, like . It's like Mr. Tang's question just now."

"The gap is too huge, in fact, no matter what I choose, no matter what I do, it doesn't make sense."

Townsend looked at Carmello's expression, although the other party's expression was a little low, but that was all.

"Mr. Carmelo is a free-spirited man." Townsend praised.

He raised his glass and gestured to Carmelo to drink, when suddenly, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and there was a creak, and a figure leaned against the threshold, looking straight in this direction.

The figure is draped in a canopy, and it is completely invisible, but it exudes a dark temperament, which is quite eye-catching.

Townsend paused, then took a sip of the wine and smiled.

"I didn't expect you to be the first to come."

So, Carmelo also turned his head and looked at the comer.

The other party walked over without hurry, even if his body was shrouded in a black robe, the rhythm between his steps also had a peculiar attraction, with an elegant and casual temperament, but it seemed extremely stable and light.

All the way to the front of Town, the figure stood still, not saying a word.

"How?" Tang Sen stretched out his hand, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, don't you want to take the initiative to say hello?" ”

He lifted the other's hood.

A beautiful face that was white and delicate bloomed in the tavern in an instant.

Even though he had seen too beautiful women today, even including the true face of the goddess of the night, Carmello's heart still beat violently a few times unconsciously.

At the same time, his gaze unconsciously moved upwards - in the middle of the long silky black hair, a pair of cute cat ears stood up.

"Naomi, you don't seem to have changed."

Tang Sen raised his hand to touch the pair of furry ears, but the figure of the person in front of him flashed vigorously and dodged directly.

Visible to the naked eye, her white skin turned cherry pink.

"You're back." She took a deep breath and tilted her head away, not looking at Townsend squarely, as if trying to maintain a calm appearance: "Earlier than I thought." ”

"How do you hear a bit of resentment?" Tang Sen laughed in a tone of voice: "How long do you think you will have to wait?" ”

"I didn't wait!" Naomi took a few steps back.

If it weren't for the fact that this was Neverwinter, Townsend believed she would have escaped into the shadows.

Tang Sen stopped teasing her and changed the subject: "Being the first to find me, it seems that your intelligence network is doing a good job, and the entire Neverwinter should be within your coverage, right?" ”

"It's all Toriel." Talking about business, Naomi finally calmed down a little and said, "The wealth you left behind is too huge, and Barn's Adventurers' Guild actually doesn't need that much, and Trihy's legendary award ceremony is only used for a fraction of the matter, so most of it is used on the intelligence network." ”

"In fact, now, not only has that wealth not been spent, but has become much more than before, and Neverwinter's revenue capacity is beyond our imagination."

"The whole Torrell?" Tang Sen was slightly surprised: "This is much faster than I imagined." ”

Naomi looked at Townese, then quickly turned her gaze to look at Carmelo next to her, and said, "Carmelo Meyers, born in a merchant family in a small town around Karatu in the East, was highly expected by his family to become a noble spellcaster, but Mr. Meyers obviously has no talent in this regard, and until he came of age, he was very modest. ”

"Later, something happened in Mr. Meyers' home, some evil creatures invaded that town, Meyers' family died, in order to leave this sad place, Mr. Meyers chose to come to Ferron, on the way, for peace of mind, he became a warrior monk, and later-"

"Okay, I trust your intelligence network." Townsend interrupted Naomi: "Still, let's take care of Mr. Carmello's emotions." ”

More than a decade has passed, and Naomi doesn't seem to have made any progress in terms of emotional intelligence.

"I'm actually fine." Carmelo smiled bitterly: "Although, I think this lady seems to know my life better than myself."

"That's right." Naomi nodded.

Carmello: ."

"But, this one, my mind went blank." Naomi looked at Xue Xue, who had been beside her without saying a word, her expression was slightly cold.

"This is Xue Xue." Townsend took the initiative to introduce.

Xue Xue raised his head, glanced at Naomi, didn't look very interested, and lowered his head to continue pondering the wine glass in his hand.

"As you'll learn later, she's a powerful spellcaster. Speaking of which, Naomi, your strength has also improved a lot. "With Townsend's perception, he was naturally able to perceive everything about Naomi.

The other party is already a legendary wanderer.

"With so many resources and such a long time, even an ordinary person is enough to become a legendary professional." Naomi said, "By the way, I already know about the confrontation between you and the Night Goddess. ”

She behaved plainly, not shocked by the fact that Townsend was able to confront or even capture the incarnation of the Night Goddess.

For Naomi, it wasn't shocking that Townsend was able to do such a thing.

"I have to warn you." She continued:

"Shar controls the shadow plane, just like the influence of the goddess of magic on the magic web, in the realm of shadows, once Shar forbids it, then no one can use the power of shadows. In other words, if Shar were to target your intelligence network, all of your loiterers would be rendered incapacitatedβ€”"

"It's okay." Tang Sen said disapprehantly: "The existing information is enough for me to carry out the follow-up plan, and besides, don't worry about Shahr." ”

"Although I do hope that He will indeed be able to come to Pheron as directly as He said. Unfortunately, the other gods wouldn't agree. ”

Tang Sen smiled: "Moreover, now is not the time to think about the consequences, the time to reunite, how can you not get drunk and not go home?" ”

"I don't drink" Naomi's flat expression suddenly broke down, and her tone was rarely a little flustered.

"Hahaha! It's up to you! A rough voice sounded outside the door, and before the person arrived, the voice had already spread throughout the tavern like thunder: "Naomi, you never pay attention to my advice to drink, this time the boss is back, you will definitely not be able to escape!" ”

would call Tang Sen that, and there was only one person in the entire Faerun.

The door was pushed open again, and a stout body entered.

He wore a suit of shiny still gold armor, carried a huge war hammer on his back, and although his legs were short, his steps were very fast, and he almost trotted over and stood in front of Townese.

The fist slammed his breastplate, he looked up at Townsend and said loudly, "Boss! Barn reports to you! ”

Tang Sen suddenly laughed, patted Barn on the shoulder vigorously, and teased: "It's the city lord of Neverwinter, why is he still wearing armor and carrying a hammer, there is no fight in Neverwinter." ”

"After all, I'm the boss's team first, and then the lord of Neverwinter." Barn laughed heartily, then turned to hug Carmelo again: "See you again, my old friend." ”

Carmelo couldn't help but feel a little flattered, after all, the identity gap between the two was too huge.

But Barn apparently didn't care, and laughed, "I'll talk to you later, Carmello." ”

Then he turned to Tang Sen again and shouted loudly: "At the beginning, I wasted the Adamantite armor and legendary weapons that the boss gave me, but now I am not what it used to be, as long as the boss gives an order, even if it is a legendary black dragon, I can smash his head with a hammer!" ”

"But Townwex's current opponent is not a creature like the Black Dragon." A smiling voice rang out, "Barn, is your hammer a gods?" ”

Townsend looked up and saw Trish standing in the doorway.

She was wearing a long red dress, her long golden hair was tied delicately and properly, and her facial features seemed to have grown, no longer as green as before, but exuding a mature and elegant charm.

"Tang Sen, from the moment Barn learned the news of your return, he didn't even have time to deal with the affairs at the city gate, the first thing he did was to prepare a grand ceremony in the City Lord's Mansion, and even thought of several surprises with his small brain capacity." She laughed heartily: "Unfortunately, it didn't work at all." ”

"I knew you wouldn't show up like you normally would."

"Long time no see, Miss Trihy." Tang Sen bowed his head and said, "I didn't expect that the biggest change was actually you." ”

Tracey glanced at Tang Sen and said, "Whoever deals with those adventure stories from the whole of Torrell every day, and communicates with so many legendary adventurers and well-known characters, it is impossible to be as simple as it was at the beginning. ”

"I'm no longer a novice adventurer who doesn't know anything."

"She's pretending." Barn leaned over to Townsend and whispered, "Actually, she was still studying the three uses of the fireball technique yesterday."

"Bath !!" Trixie's dignified posture suddenly broke down, and she shouted, "Why don't you find a bottle of wine to plug your mouth!" ”

"That's what I'm going to do." Barn grinned, slammed the hammer on the bar, and then boomβ€”

The wooden bar was smashed directly by the weight of the warhammer.

Barn patted his head and said in annoyance, "I almost forgot that this hammer can't be swinged. I needed to wear a power belt to be able to hold it, but I don't need it now. ”

With that, he picked up the hammer and swung it a few times ostentatiously.

"Conquest!"

The Warhammer's roar resounded throughout the tavern: "Me! Dislike! Neverwinter! ”

Barn: "Ahem, boss, don't worry, conquest sometimes has a problem with the brain. ”

"It's okay." Tang Sen directly stretched out his hand and inserted it into the half-plane: "It just so happens that I brought you a gift." ”

An axe was pulled out by Townsen.

Barn's gaze was uncontrollably drawn over.

"The Dwarven King's Battle Axe." Tang Sen smiled: "I don't know if you've heard of it, a real artifact!" ”

"Moradin is on top!" Barn opened his mouth wide: "I've just heard of it. This is the legendary axe? An artifact forged by a dwarven prince with the help of Moradin to represent the glory of the dwarven clan? ”

"That's right." Townsend handed the axe over: "Do you like this gift?" ”

"Of courseβ€”"

Before Barn's words could be finished, an even more violent roar had resounded throughout the tavern.

"Ba! Kindness!!!! ”

"Traitor!! To be smashed into meat sauce!! Stir together with the dirtiest creatures I have also conquered!! Forever buried in the most foul-smelling manure tank!! Forever!! ”

Barn could barely hold his hammer, and he hurriedly shouted, "I hear you! Don't be so loud! ”

"I just appreciate it! It's all the weapons of the dwarves, don't be so stingy! ”

"The battle cry of conquest is as dirty as ever." Tang Sen watched this scene with great interest.

Finally appeased the Warhammer of Conquest, Barn breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Dwarf King Waraxe again, and whispered, "I knew I wouldn't take it with me." ”

"What do you say?!!! Subjugate! ”

Seeing that the quarrel between the dwarves and their weapons was about to go in an endless direction, Trish broke the siege in time, directly opened a bottle of wine, and stuffed half of the bottle into Barne's mouth, and then sat down next to Townsend and poured himself a glass of wine.

Her blue eyes stared at Tang Sen, and said solemnly, "Tang Sen, welcome back." ”

"Don't leave me behind!" Barn pulled the bottle out of his mouth and raised his hand high: "Just today, the great Lord of Neverwinter has returned to his realm!" ”

"To you, my teammates." Townsend laughed and clinked glasses with them.

"Naomi! Where's your wine? Barn dragged Naomi over, grabbed a bottle of wine and slammed it in front of her.

Naomi hesitated, but finally poured herself a glass and held it up.

"Just drink this one, I still have a lot of things to deal with, those at the city gate-"

"That's not what we're going to do today!" Tang Sen touched her cup vigorously: "Tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return!" ”

"Come, Neverwinter!"
