256 Keys

The water droplets under the stalactites fall down on the damp ground of the cave, splashing one by one, while the surrounding walls of the cave bounce back with bursts of echoes, which can be called pleasant to listen to alone.

However, the group of people who came out of the dark corridor behind them had not yet been accustomed to enjoying this pleasant tone for a long time, and if they understood what the corridor was connected to, they might be able to understand their nervousness.

Roaming around some of Faerun's most famous caves, you can't be too laid-back.

"Hehe, fortunately this passage didn't collapse, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy for us to get out. The little boy in a black cloth put his hands behind his back, and tried to keep his voice low in a tone with an old-fashioned look between his words, but the sharp smell could not be concealed.

At the same time, his expression was also very serious, and if it was an old man, it would probably look very majestic.

But sadly, he was a teenager.

Although he has a long life of more than 3,000 years, except for him and a few people next to him, no one will know that this little boy is the madman who once shook the multiverse.

Still a little incredulous, Penny and his companions had almost confirmed the boy's identity, whether it was a lewd bard, a tired black knight and a sleepy little girl, all of whom kept looking at him with curious eyes.

Isn't it a very surprising thing that a crazy old man who is famous in the multiverse has become such a cute little boy?

Nephes's eyes blinked, but her crooked head hit a stone in such carelessness, and she hugged her head with an 'oops', although she didn't cry, but her eyes were obviously a little confused by this blow.

The wizard picked her up, and although he had lost the demonization of the Mither core, his body still had a lot of brute strength, and it was not impossible to become a qualified warrior if he could be well trained.

"A perfect body, what a jealous waste. Helast glanced at the mage's body twice, and said in his mouth: "You have become a Miser energy core that can move and evolve, if the believers of the woman who squatted outside the source know about it, they will definitely be very interested in arresting you to study it." ”

He spoke, of course, in the Loshoun language.

Penny shrugged, Helast described his new body very vividly, and now he was a moving Mithic core.

The surging arcane fire filled every cell of his body, and as soon as he thought about it, arcane energy that reached the limit of his mind control would flow under his guidance, making it easier for him to cast spells, and even more like a warlock who was born to understand arcane.

However, it is obvious that he has obtained a physique very similar to the Mithic energy core, but he has not fully obtained the core of the Mithic energy core, or rather, the core has long been integrated into his body, and this new body will have such magical power, and the autonomous consciousness of the core has already melted in this process, with Penny's current arcane level, of course, he can't dig out the mystery of this fusion, he wants to cast more spells, he still needs to study and study like an ordinary mage.

The fortress realm has not become stronger, but the release has become a little easier.

Penny didn't know what the side effects or hidden dangers of such a constitution would be, but to his great relief, it was obvious that his biggest hidden danger had been lifted, and this body was completely under the command of his central nervous system, and was not in a state of loss of control at any time like the Mithic core.

All in all, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Actually, I'd love to cut your body open right now. ”

"We don't include that. The mage said lightly.

"Okay. A faint candlelight in front of him made Helast stop, he suddenly looked back at the deep cave behind him, and only exhaled for a long time, and turned around: "It's ridiculous, I've dreamed for thousands of years, and when I woke up, I found that I was the only one left in the world." ”

"I wonder what you're going to do in the future?" asked Penny tentatively.

"Plans?" Hylaster raised an eyebrow, "Dedicate all of your remaining lives to the arcane, of course, and when you have enough power, you will travel to other planes in search of more bizarre monsters and treasures, oh, that's how I amused myself in my dreams." ”

"Actually, I'm still wondering, my lord, why would you have enough sense to set up a ritual to free yourself since those grave keepers taught you magic and turned you into a mad mage?"

"There's nothing incomprehensible about this, a nosy guy cured part of my madness hundreds of years ago. Helaste snorted, "He allowed me to stay awake most of the time on the ground, and it would be shorter when I was awake down the mountain, but it was enough for me to fight the bullshit grave keepers." ”

"Uh......" Penny was dumbfounded, wondering which power could cure the mad mage's madness like this.

You must know that the deep infection of this methodology is almost impossible to reverse, let alone a legendary ** master, this part of the methodology must have penetrated into the depths of consciousness, and I am afraid that only God is left who can be modified.

"Well, you're curious, I can tell you that the guy who helped me out was Mistra. It was easy to guess Penny's curiosity, but Helast's sneering answer made Penny even more stunned.

The answer was clearly beyond his expectations.

"But I don't appreciate her at all, and to be honest, I reset my methodology to completely avoid the new things that she put in my methodology while she was treating me. Hylaste continued to let out an evil smile that was completely inconsistent with her immature appearance: "She found out, and actually sent my enemy to attack me at the bottom of the mountain, haha, she probably never dreamed that I would have one day to come out, and now no one can control me!"

He laughed, suddenly felt a little out of shape, and quickly coughed dryly, and then returned to a serious expression.

While it is doubtful that Helast's conjecture about the failure of his experiment is a malicious speculation on Mistra - with the Goddess of Magic's style of action, there is no doubt that what happened eight years ago is unmistakable - the Mad Mage's ritual failed, and he himself is believed to have died in the failed ritual, and an earthquake has struck around Waterdeep, and the terrain 'down the mountain' has been partially altered.

But now it was clear that recalling those things was somewhat unnecessary for either Penny or Hylast's Black Robe.

They were more concerned about what was going on, especially Penny, who had a lot more to worry about after this incident, the most worrying of which was the woman who had been confirmed to be a voter in Share.

"Well, when this woman reappears, I'm going to make her a slave. Herest smiled maliciously, "And then use her body to conduct all kinds of experiments, and dare to try to kill me? ”

"Still, where should we go to find her?" Penny frowned, in all fairness, he didn't want to provoke the woman, but it was clear that the two sides had become enemies, so there was nothing to say, even if they didn't take the initiative to cut off the trouble, they had to take precautions.

As one of the two goddesses of creation, the powerful divine power of the old signboard, controlling the unswerving night priesthood and a series of subsidiary priesthoods, Shar's followers are not rare, her church is secret but huge, and it is definitely not easy to provoke, with the birth of the Yin Soul City, it has caused a huge impact on the balance of power of the traditional gods of Faerun.

To be able to become Shar's chosen one, the woman's excellence and favor can be imagined, and the power that may be involved makes Penny even more worried.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that, she took the key of Isil Aaron, and if she knew more about it, she would definitely come back to you. Helast glanced at Penny, "Guys who are interested in this thing will definitely want to know more things, and when the pieces are close, you will naturally have a sense of it." ”

"What is it?" is what Penny is more interested in: "Isil Aaron." ”

"Isil Aaron? you wouldn't want to know what that was, whether it's Isil Aaron, or the Twelve Rings of Arcane in Karthas, it's something that the gods would never want mortals to know. Helast glanced at Penny, "For the sake of your life and the safety of this world, don't try to find it, it's more dangerous than the ancient evil." ”

Penny shrugged, he wasn't surprised by the answer, if it wasn't for something of that grade, it wouldn't have attracted the wrath of the gods.

"But I can tell you that the thing in your hand is divided into seven parts, a ball-shaped keyhead, and six crystals of different colors that can be seen separately, which is not only the scepter of the king of the Imaska Empire, but also the key to open the center of Isil Aaron, you know, without this thing to stabilize Isil Aaron's energy, the creation that can make the gods fear is just a mixture of broken metal and arcane wiring. ”

"Six crystals, one keyhead. Penny repeated, his heart bursting, and he realized that he already had three of the seven parts of this magic key, including the part in the belly of the super-evolved divine rat that didn't know where Yun Wandered to.

In this way, if someone else is also collecting this thing, he will definitely be the heaviest target among them.

And it doesn't seem so easy to get rid of it, at least as a key figure in the grave keeper, Hylast's black robe is obviously not very interested.

"Then Lord Blackrobe, can you tell me if there are any other grave guards on the current Faren Continent?" Penny frowned, but decided to contact the grave keepers.

Although their methods of dealing with the black robe of Hylaster are painful, from the perspective of the purpose of this organization, it should be relatively peaceful, and it is not impossible to communicate without being exposed.

At least let him know more about the ancient empire, and he will be more sure of the enemies that may appear in the future.

"They? Oh, I've got a bunch of minions who specialize in this kind of boring business. Hyraster glanced at Penny, "But I haven't contacted them in almost a decade." ”

"They should be in the Falling Star Sea area now, as for where they are, I don't know, after all, it's closer to the ruins of Luoyan, of course I can contact them, but I don't know how much time it will take. This sentence made Penny's mood slightly better.

Penny began to calculate, whether he could get the strength of such an organization, not only a powerful ** division, if he could get such a group of strength, his power would be even stronger.
