Chapter 573: Let's Start Destroying the World (7K)
Although it is said that if you don't get drunk, if you really want to get drunk, it is still more difficult for Tang Sen and others.
Needless to say, Tang Sen himself has a stronger physique than a dragon, even if he relaxes without worrying about any existence threatening him because he has returned to his own territory, it is completely impossible for him to be affected by alcohol.
Naomi, as a wanderer, was obviously not honest enough at the wine table, and she easily tricked Barn with a little trick, avoiding most of the persuasions, until the sky was slightly bright, and she still looked reddish.
Bahn is a dwarf and a legendary warrior - yes, in more than a decade, Ban has been a different player, after all, Neverwinter's resources are too abundant, and it is not surprising to become a legendary warrior.
In short, under the superposition of various buffs, even if Barn deliberately wants to get himself drunk, he is only half drunk.
So, the only one who got drunk was Tricy.
This person. It's still a little too sincere.
As a half-elf spellcaster, playing a game with Barn that drank a barrel of wine in one sitting, and didn't plan to cheat like Naomi, the consequence was that Trihy was over before everyone had started.
Fortunately, Neverwinter couldn't cast spells, so it didn't make any trouble for the drunk Tracey, but it can also be seen that this guy has not changed at all in the past ten years, except for the growth of his strength.
And, of course, there was Mr. Carmello, an honest warrior monk who was reserved at first, but when Barn jumped onto the table and urged him to admire his Adamantite armor, he blended into the atmosphere of the banquet and was unsurprisingly overwhelmed by Barn.
The tavern was in shambles, and in the middle of the night, the group changed to the City Lord's Mansion again, and ruined the welcome ceremony prepared by Barn.
When I woke up again, it was already dawn.
"Towngson, a few days ago, my teacher sent me a message."
In the gorgeous hall, Tang Sen and the others were sitting at the long dining table enjoying breakfast, Cuixi was still a little hangover, and the whole person seemed very unenergetic, and he crossed the plate with the fork in his hand, and said, "At that time, I felt that you should be back soon." β
"Trish told me too." Naomi sat at the very end, her expression a little subtle: "Actually, I can't describe how we have felt to you for more than ten years. β
"They all forgot about you." Barn grinned, "But I don't think my memory is right. β
"Hey, it's the team members, but in the end, it's just me Barn who cares about the boss the most, you see, I haven't forgotten anything, and in the end I still need to tell you about the boss and what we've been through."
Barn's boast received only a few rolls from the crowd.
"Don't worry, for the time being, as long as you don't leave Neverwinter, the memories of me won't be gone." Tang Sen said calmly: "This is Sha'er's divine power, I will solve it later." β
Townsend can imagine the mentality of Trish and Naomi for more than ten years, to be honest, these two ladies are relatively deeply bonded with themselves in this world, but even if they hear their own experiences again from Barne's mouth, the words of empty memories are still very different from the feelings of personal experience.
Even so, they stuck to Neverwinter, and did what Townsend had told him to do well, even exceeding what Townsend had expected for them.
"What is Trixie's teacher like?" Barn asked the long-inquisitive question.
"Mage Violet is a powerful mage rarely seen in the worlds." Townsend said.
"Hey, hey." Tricy smirked: "The teacher said that I have a very good impression of you. It's been the first time I've heard this kind of tone from my teacher in a long time, Tang Sen, do you want to think about getting along with my teacher? β
Barn: "Huh? β
Naomi: "Huh? β
Townsen: "."
"In any case, such a thing is not a proper word." Naomi stared at Trixie, "How can your teacher get involved with Townese?" Even if it's yourself. I mean, it's just too presumptuous! β
"Really?" Tricy looked unconcerned: "However, the teacher told me that maybe it won't be long before she has to come to Faeron, after all, Tang Sen has already done that kind of thing to her, and she has no way to resist Tang Sen's request." β
Barn: "Huh? β
Naomi: "Huh? β
Townsen: "."
Everyone looked at Townsend in unison, even Carmelo, who had been silent, stared at him with inquiring eyes.
"Ahem." Tang Sen coughed lightly: "The Violet Mage's personality is indeed a bit strange. β
"So she really can't resist?" Barn keenly grasped the point.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Sen waved his hand, "Let's get down to business, Barn, what's the public opinion about Shar in Neverwinter right now?" β
"Lebei." Barn was a little absent-minded, he was obviously more interested in the topic just now, but forced by Townsend's gaze, he could only say: "Even now, there are still a large number of bold people gathered at the gates of the city, and they are trying to get Shar to speakβsince last night, except for the initial angry threats of Shar, it seems that he has completely pretended to be dead. β
"I care about the priests of other gods." Townsend said: "What is their reaction? β
"All of Shar's followers have withdrawn from Neverwinter." Naomi spoke, "The gods like Tyr and Wojin haven't reacted too much, and it is estimated that they have not received the oracle from the gods yet, but the followers of the moon goddess Suren are very happy. β
"The Church of the Goddess of the Moon is preparing to hold a grand celebration at the gates of the city, and has submitted an application to me, and I am still considering whether to agree to them." Barn took over.
"Promise them." Tang Sen laughed, "The bigger the trouble, the better, and I even hope that other gods will end up. Unfortunately, Shar had too few allies, and the gods seemed happy to see Shar humiliated. β
"There shouldn't be any more gods." Naomi speculated, "Shar has learned a lesson in arrogance, and the other gods won't be so stupid anymore. Perhaps the gods of chaos and evil will be ready to move, but they have no reason to help Shar. β
Tang Sen sighed regretfully.
Naturally, he was able to realize this.
Since Shar, the status of themselves or Neverwinter in the hearts of the gods may no longer be regarded as an ordinary city of the main material plane, they will be more cautious, even if they covet everything in Neverwinter, they will definitely wait for Shar's follow-up actions and Neverwinter's response before making a decision.
"How are you preparing for this year's Legends Awards Ceremony?" Townsend asked again.
"The winners have been almost screened." "Next, we have to wait for the candidates to come to Neverwinter, and the organizing committee will meet with them in person to confirm the details of their adventures or research results, so as to prevent anyone from making up stories." β
She added: "This kind of thing has been especially common in recent years, and some people really go to great lengths to win awards. β
"Good work." Tang Sen nodded at her: "At this award ceremony, I will make some announcements. β
Several people were suddenly shocked.
"Boss, are you going to make a new move?" Barn asked impatiently.
"Neverwinter, it's time to go further." Tang Sen smiled: "You can't always be pressed on top of your head by Imprint City, right?" β
"Words to go beyond the city of imprints. There's a little more difficulty. Naomi said calmly, "Although we have proven that Neverwinter has the same ability to suppress powerful gods as Seal, but after all, Sealless City has existed for too long, and Neverwinter is only relatively well-known in Torrell. β
"With Shar as a banner, the fame of Neverwinter will spread throughout the multiverse very quickly, and those who wish to see Shar's true face will definitely not mind a visit to Torrell." Townsend Road.
"One more point." Naomi said, "Business." β
"The commerce of the Seal City has developed for too many years, so that it has become the center of the recognized multiverse, everyone knows that almost everything can be bought there, even some abandoned artifacts, are also clearly marked in the Seal City, and Neverwinter City does not have this kind of background, although our commerce, although it has been very developed, has become the commercial center of Faeron, but it does not go beyond the scope of the main material plane."
"Don't worry about that." The corners of Tang Sen's mouth curled slightly.
"From today onwards, what was once owned by Immortal City will be available in Neverwinter, and what Neverwinter has will not be able to be found in Immortal City."
"Huh?" Barn couldn't understand what Townsend meant, and he joked, "Boss, there's no way you're going to let those shops in Marker City move to Neverwinter, right?" β
"It doesn't need to be such a hassle." Tang Sen smiled, "I've brought back all the goods in Imprint City. β
Everyone: "."
Would you like to hear what you're talking about?
If you weren't Townsend and the Lord of Neverwinter who had been working miracles, Barn would even want to jump up and laugh out loud.
Of course he wouldn't, he just whispered, "That obviously sounds more troublesome, doesn't it?" β
"Don't bother, I'm rich enough." Tang Sen waved his hand: "Barn, you need to clear out some warehouses for stacking those large quantities of goods, many of which have an expiration date, various drinks and ingredients from the multiverse, and of course, some extremely precious magic items that also need to be properly sorted and collected." β
"Then, I need you to set up shop in a bustling part of Neverwinter and put our goods on the shelves, and it is best to let everyone know that there are no artifacts in Seal City anymore, only Neverwinter has them."
"Wait!" Naomi was suddenly stunned and said, "I did hear about this before. A man named Varro set off a huge wave in Seal City, and with his incredible ability to make money, he almost swept away the goods of the entire Seal City, but because he offended Lady Pain, he was thrown into a cage that could never be left by Lady Pain, and I was still strange at the time, this man named Varro seemed to look a little like our famous writer Varro in Feerun from the description of his appearance."
"Tang Sen, this matter can't be planned by you, right?"
"That's right." Townsend patted his head, "I almost forgot that Mr. Varro is still in my half-plane. Forget it, it's been locked up for so long, and Mr. Varro shouldn't be in a hurry. β
"Anyway, let's prepare for the Legend Awards Ceremony first. By the way, let's also see how Shar plans to make a move during this time. β
Tang Sen set the tone, and everyone naturally didn't have any opinions.
After breakfast, Townsend left Naomi behind.
"I need you to help me spread a prophecy."
"Prophecy?" Naomi was slightly confused, but didn't ask, just quietly waited for Tang Sen to continue.
"The day of destruction is coming, first of all, the sea will overturn, and all the land will be flooded, second, the gods will begin to walk on the earth, and the flames of war will be raised, and finally, everything will come to an end, and no living thing will be spared."
Townsend slowly uttered this prophecy and continued: "All this has been foreshadowed, the gods on high have been reduced to mortals, their dignity has been nailed to the walls of Winterless, demons and demons are wreaking havoc on the earth, feasting on the souls and bodies of mortals, and the eyes of the entire multiverse are focused here, watching this world that is about to be destroyed. β
Naomi looked puzzled, "This prophecy that Feren will be destroyed?" Whose prophecy is this? β
"Mine." Townsend said calmly.
Naomi was stunned for a moment, her eyes that had turned black because of her blood looked directly at Tang Sen, and hesitated: "Tang Sen. Are you going to destroy Pheren? β
She is a smart person, and naturally knows the role of prophecy such a thing.
Tang Sen smiled and said, "There is another prophecy that you need to spread at the same time, but this will have to wait until after the Legendary Award Ceremony." β
Without waiting for Naomi to ask, Townsend uttered the prophecy: "On this day, the hero of salvation comes, the devil and the devil are terrified of his name, the gods bow their heads to him, his golden hair is like a blazing sun, his arms are like a harbor, he stands in the name of a hero before the wave that sweeps the world, the sea is calmed because of him, the war of the gods ends because of him, he is the only savior of mortals, the last king of men, when everyone stands behind him, the new century comes." β
"It'sβ"
Naomi fell into deep thought: "Prophecy about the Messiah. β
"One prophesied the end of the world, the other prophesied the salvation of the world"
"You don't need to know why now." Tang Sen said: "Just do it." β
Naomi couldn't guess what Tang Sen was thinking, but she nodded anyway and said, "In three days, every tavern in the entire Torrell will start discussing the prophecy of the end of the world, and I will try to make people believe it." β
"There's no need to do anything superfluous." "People will believe it, when everything in the prophecy begins to come to fruition," Townsend said. β
Naomi leaves.
Only Tang Sen and Xue Xue were left in the hall.
Xue Xue has always been a little unable to integrate into the circle of Barn and others, although with Barn's character, he is quite enthusiastic to communicate with Xue Xue, but this is obviously equivalent to useless work, Barn is not better at interpersonal communication than Varro, and Varro has already been tormented by Xue Xue's strange brain circuits.
"I'll take you to see something interesting." Townsend said.
Xue Xue nodded, and rarely took the initiative to say, "These people. . . What a good relationship with you. β
"They're my teammates." Tang Sen said: "You too." β
"Come on, the next thing is not something that ordinary people can have a chance to see."
He snapped his fingers, and the two of them disappeared in an instant, appearing in an underground hall.
It's empty, there's nothing.
"The space that was dug up at the beginning is now finally usable."
Tang Sen's consciousness communicated the space of thoughts, and a large bright crystal of human height was summoned and suspended in front of the two of them.
"Any idea what this is?" Townsend spoke.
Xue Xue's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help but take a few steps closer: "Very pure and powerful magic core. It's so beautiful, it's like a creature of truth! β
"The Core of Mythera." Townsend said: "Netherreel's crowning achievement. β
"The heart of the Floating City."
"Netheril" Xue Xue thought for a moment: "I don't remember this word very well, but to be able to create such a creation must be an extremely powerful civilization. β
"Of course, after all, Netharel's Grand Arcanists even caused the death of the Goddess of Magic - although this is a coincidence, and most of the factors are due to the Goddess of Magic herself, it is already inconceivable to fight divinity in mortal form."
"That's what you're going to do next," said Townw, and I want you to be able to use the core of Mythera as the core to turn the entire Neverwinter into a floating city. β
Xue Xue frowned slightly: "I don't know this knowledge. If you want to start your research all over again, it may take a long time. β
"There's no need to re-research, this knowledge is available in Neverwinter, and I'll be there for you." Tang Sen waved his hand: "Speaking of which, I just happened to take you to visit another important location in Neverwinter, the Neverwinter Library. β
"Trust me, you're going to love it there."
He snapped his fingers again, and the figures of the two appeared on a wide street in an instant.
And at the end of the street, stands a massive, extremely heavy looking building.
Maybe it's because of the shar on the city gate, there aren't too many people on the street at this time, but the closer you look to the building, the more and more people in magical robes you can see.
Some of them walked in a hurry, their eyes were unfocused, it seemed that even if they were walking, their brains were immersed in some mysterious magical knowledge, while some gathered in front of the building to quarrel fiercely, with red faces and thick necks, Tang Sen suspected that if it weren't for the fact that Neverwinter couldn't fight, I'm afraid they would be going to perform an all-out martial arts on the spot.
"The atmosphere is good." Xue Xue said: "I felt the atmosphere of pure study. β
Xue Xue obviously has a good impression of this place, after all, she is also a pure researcher - even if she was not, after the long years, she has been completely pure.
The two of them didn't attract the attention of the spellcasters, even though Town's face was already unknown to everyone in Neverwinter because of last night's events, but these spellcasters were obviously all immersed in their own world.
When you enter the library, you are greeted by a huge wall with inscriptions on it.
"Truth favors all seekers of knowledge."
Xue Xue read the words above, and then looked at the name below: "Martinus Ratledge." β
"The director of the Neverwinter Library." A voice came from the side, the two turned their heads, and saw an old man sitting at the counter at the door, he bowed slightly to the two of them, and said, "It's the first time, right?" β
"Yes." Townsend nodded.
Although he had built it here, it was his first time in the library.
"I'm the caretaker here." The old man said:
"I'm sure you've heard a lot of rumors about this place, and I can tell you that they're all true."
The old man did not hide the pride in the library in his tone, and said, "You can find all the knowledge you seek here, and of course, if you want, you can also leave your knowledge here, and almost everyone who sincerely believes in the truth of magic will do so." β
"This is the brightest jewel of the entire multiverse, and believe me, you won't find a place so fair, so forgiving, so congenial, so incredible, better than the boudoir of the goddess of magic - it's a joke."
It's not very humorous, but it can be seen that the old man doesn't have much respect for the goddess of magic.
It seems that all spellcasters who pursue the truth have no respect for the goddess of magic, after all, after reaching a certain level, the magic net does become a kind of bondage.
"Of course, there are some rules that you need to be aware of, otherwise you will be kicked out of the Neverwinter Library and never allowed to enter again." The old man's expression became more serious, and he said, "Believe me, you won't want to see this kind of result, it means that you have missed the whole world." β
"What are the rules?" It was Xue Xue who took the initiative to ask.
"First, always keep in awe of the truth of the spell." The old man said seriously: "This is the most important thing. β
"Secondly, do not damage any book, even the knowledge of the simplest tricks, where all knowledge is equal."
"Then, if you're researching, don't experiment recklesslyβthis one won't get you punished, just a reminder that after all, you can't cast spells in Neverwinter."
"If you want to confirm your research, Martinus Ratledge has built a public mage tower for spellcasters in the Winterless Forest just outside the city, where everyone can go and communicate my meaning, including fighting, which in fact happens every day."
The old man continued to talk about the rules of the library, Xue Xue listened very carefully, and Tang Sen thought of another question.
"Perhaps, a place where the ability can be used for the casters to study, and for those who are energetic to vent their energy."
It's better to be blocked than to be sparse, and Tang Sen understands this truth.
"Not a fighting arena or anything like that, and you can even use this to hold some competitions like multiverse battle competitions, and I'll explain to Barn later."
When the old man finished explaining the rules, Townsend was able to speak: "I want to take my friends to see the knowledge of the Netherel era. β
The old man suddenly looked at Tang Sen meaningfully: "Oh, there is another one." β
"This knowledge is placed on the first floor, the most conspicuous and most crowded place is that they were originally placed on the top floor, but there are too many people who want to see this knowledge."
"I think that the deeper the knowledge, the closer we are to the truth. Although this is true to some extent, you must also weigh your own weight, otherwise you will only go astray-"
The old man's words were unpleasant, but they were indeed kind, and Townsend thanked him politely, and then walked towards the inside of the library.
Successfully found Netheril's knowledge.
Xue Xue showed rare interest, picked up a document and read it.
"Can you read it?" Townsend asked.
"Yes."
Xue Xue didn't look up, and added: "It's very interesting." β
Townsend relaxed a little.
Sure enough, with Xue Xue's magical attainments, it was not difficult to master Netheril's knowledge.
In this way, I don't have to spend too much energy to set up the core of Mythera.
"A core of Mithera could sustain a floating city, but my territory is a bit larger, including not only the original Neverwinter, but also part of the Neverwinter Forest and the ocean next to itβ"
"Fortunately, I have two, so it should be enough to make the whole territory fly."
Townsend picked up a piece of literature.
Valdick's Crystal Wall Navigation.
Townsend plans to begin to delve deeper into this spell, striving to transform it with the power of idealism, and release this legendary spell of Netharel directly on the entire Neverwinter.
In this way, Neverwinter is not just a floating city, but also a giant magical ship that can travel through the crystal wall system and sail freely throughout the multiverse.
"Combined with my personality in the realm, the entire multiverse, I can go to even the kingdom of gods."
Thinking of this, the corners of Tang Sen's mouth hooked slightly.
"Ms. Share, I don't know how you will deal with it when the time comes?"
The rest of the day was a rough one.
The ups and downs of the outside world have nothing to do with Neverwinter, and Tang Sen is at ease researching spell knowledge, occasionally obtaining important news from the outside world through Naomi's intelligence network.
The first prophecy had already begun to spread throughout Torrell, and as Townsend had guessed, not many believed it, although it had spread widely.
After all, there are often prophecies in this world, most of which are lies made up by bards or mages who want to gain fame and fortune.
So, Townsend took a moment out and went underground in Neverwinter.
A large broken horn was soaked by Townsend into a pool of blood.
A thick blood-colored mist emerged from the broken corners, forming a huge body.
"Mr. Red, you've finally contacted me." The voice of the Devil Grand Duke echoed through the hall.
"Mr. Deerhertz." Tang Sen said calmly: "Everything is ready. β
"Let's start destroying the world."
