465 Shadows
The black and white tones of the shadow plane are as light as ever.
The wandering shadows walk in this secluded area, unlike the main material realm, where there is no sunlight, and when the main material realm is shining, the shadow realm is in its darkest hour.
Corresponding to the birdsong, breeze, and insect chirping of the main physical realm, it is full of whispers of ghosts, screams of spirits, and the muffled roars of various shadowed creatures.
It is a world that rejects light, and only creatures who love darkness live here.
As a mirror image of the main material realm, the environment of the shadow plane is like a replica of the main material realm, except that the areas that have been altered by supernatural forces are different - such as the mage towers built by spellcasters who live in seclusion in the shadow plane, such as some temples in the main material realm, which also exist in the shadow plane, but the gods worshiped have become the opposite of these gods.
Of course, the gods of the good camp would never allow their idols to appear in the shadow plane, not only for them, but also for the natives of the shadow plane.
The most famous inhabitant of the Shadow Plane is none other than the Lord of Darkness of Feren, one of the two goddesses of creation, the great Lady of the Night, Shar.
This god's kingdom is located in the center of the Shadow Plane Source Sea, the core of the original Shadow Demon Network, but just a few short months ago, the Shadow Demon Network collapsed along with the collapse of the Demon Net, which caused her palace to also be destroyed in this disaster, if it weren't for the fact that the Divine Power Origin Body had not stayed here, she would have followed in the footsteps of Mystra.
Having escaped the hunt of the gods of the good camp and resurrected using the divine essence hidden in a secret location beforehand, Shar is now regretting and resenting the failure of his plot. Regret lies in believing in a scheming subordinate - such as the High Prince of the Netherworld, who infiltrated her kingdom on the shadow plane at the height of the war, and disrupted the operation of the Shadow Demon Network and the Kingdom of God before Pendrim's evil energy invaded Shar. His role in this should not be underestimated.
For a time, Teramant Tanshur had become one of the most hated mortal things of the Night Lady, and now he was hiding somewhere, and Shar vowed that if he was dug up, he would be punished with the most cruel punishment for betraying her.
However, Teramant Tanshur is no longer at the top of this list of hates. The first mortal thing is none other than that obscene human wizard.
Although she believed that this wizard had helped her free herself from Pendrim's evil powers, she could not let go of what this guy had done.
Regardless, Penny's actions led directly to the complete failure of her plan.
And at the last moment, the voters turned their backs. Let Shar completely lose the chance to get back the capital - if it weren't for the complete loss of control of that divine power, she would have had the opportunity to take a considerable part of Mistra's divine power and use the corpse of the ancient evil creature to fight back, so that she would not lose all her money.
Shar had more than enough reason to hate the mortal wizard.
This hatred made her feel even more unbearable after leaving Shanny's temple.
That's how she hated Penny. But she had to reach a compromise with them under the threat of that group of hypocritical guys, how could this not make her feel extremely humiliated?
The dilapidated throne has lost its mystery - the war has just ended, the kingdom of God has not been restored for the time being, and the ruins set off Share's depression. Her murmur was thin and dark, "Despicable mortal wizard, how can I make you so proud? There's no way for me to take you, no. You have to pay the price, you have to pay the price...... The hero who saved the world? Oh, you want to be this hero? I have to test and test how much weight you have as a hero ...... save the world"...,
Anger caused her voice to reach the ears of the invokers and priests who were cleaning the ruins, causing them to bow their heads even more, and Her Majesty the Goddess was in a bad mood, and they all knew this very well.
Hatred and reluctance drove Shar to decide, she didn't want Torrell to be destroyed, but emotionally struggled to accept that wizard as the gods' chosen savior.
The idea of this thought made her think deeply, whether she was capable of extinguishing the arrogance of those stupid gods and that despicable mortal?
The answer to this question is obvious, although the Blue Flame Catastrophe has greatly damaged Shar's power - almost all the users of the Shadow Demon Network have died in the Blue Flame, and the attacks of the good camp have also caused heavy casualties among her followers, and the army of the gods has almost invaded the shadow plane, so the successive defeats have conservatively estimated that her power has shrunk by at least two-thirds, and if she is not a natural god with a solid godhead, such a tragic loss is enough to lower her godhead by several levels.
But the remaining one-third of the strength is enough for her to do many things.
For example, looking for a strong person to be the savior of her choice.
"Savior, what an illusory concept, it's just that you need to find someone to deal with the ancient evil. Shar raised his hand, and blew into the palm of his hand through the gray light of the shadow realm, and a faint wind swept through the air: "Why do those fools have to find that mortal wizard?"
A portal appeared in front of her eyes, a middle-aged woman in a red robe appeared in the portal, there was no hair on the top of her head, but a very delicate tattoo, shining with the brilliance of magic, she walked out of the portal, and saw Shar on the throne, a look of obvious astonishment appeared on her face, and after a brief moment of astonishment, she bowed respectfully and bowed:
"Dear Mother, your sons and daughters have answered the call. ”
"Misrila, oh, I remember you, there aren't many legendary arcanists who use my Shadow Fiend. Shar waved his hand: "Except for a few Yin Spirits who have survived now, you are the only one left, you must not let me down." ”
"Please command. Mithrela's face was a little blurred under the influence of the permanent illusion, and there was a hint of confusion on her face.
During the Blue Flame Catastrophe, she escaped Torrell to escape Sazastan's pursuit, and luckily escaped a catastrophe, and has been hiding in the corner of the main material world since her return, and she was surprised to receive Shar's summons today.
As one of Torreel's most famous shadow mages, Mithrela has always been a true believer in Shar, and this is no secret among the higher-ups of Serre.
"Do you know the cunning little wizard of Pan Diesel?"
"Of course I remember, Your Majesty. Misrela frowned slightly.
"Without further ado, Misrila, I will give you great power, you only need to do one thing......" Shar raised a finger, and several illusions appeared in the air: "This lowly wizard is looking for something in the silver-white court of the bottomless abyss, and that is this crystal rod, which is held in this woman's hand...... Your mission is to find this wizard before they do, get the things, and ......"
A vicious voice came out of Shar's teeth like a poisonous snake spitting letters: "Kill this woman." ”
"Yes......" Grazt's dormitory seemed like a dangerous place, but Misrela agreed without hesitation.
The attitude of the believer made Shar very satisfied, she nodded, and continued to command, "And the wizard...... You're going to kill him!Of course, before that, you're going to find out that this crystal rod is part of a thing, and it's in the wizard's hand, and you're going to have to get this thing in your hands, and if it's not on him, you're going to have to find out where it is. ”...,
"Yes, my majesty. ”
A satisfied smile appeared on Shar's face, and she summoned several artifacts of extraordinary power - mostly from her chosen ones who had died in the battle, and gave them to Mithrela, although the more direct way to grant power was to grant status to the elect, but Shar knew that arcanists rarely became the chosen ones of a god - and most often did not allow their beliefs to be subordinated to the creeds of the gods, even if they were very similar.
What's more, Beria's betrayal has left Shar with lingering fears, and in the days to come, she will inevitably be more cautious in choosing her voters......
Voters who will betray for some inexplicable reason are still not good.
She watched as Misrela vanished through the kingdom of God with teleportation, and her anger returned to her heart.
"All must ......die," her figure disappeared into the shadow of the throne, not noticing the side of the throne, where a very unnoticeable dark crystal flickered slightly.
......
"So, the child went to the bottomless abyss?"
In the depths of the Serre Valley, Sazastan's thick staff gently tapped against the smooth, hard black ground, staring at a mountain wall as smooth as a mirror.
There is an illusion on the mountain wall, which is the kingdom of the gods of Shar.
"Is this really good news?" Helast, who was lying on a bed reading a novel, glanced sideways at Sazastan, "At least now we know where to find that lovely little friend." ”
He sat up from the stone bed, tossed the novel aside, rubbed his hair that was too long to be unkempt, yawned, and opened his pupils into two thin black lines: "We should go find him and control him, he is alone, definitely not our opponent." ”
"Are you sure we have what it takes to do that?, dear Helast?" Sazastan shook his head, his eyes burning slowly with dark phosphorus fire, "I think...... The most important thing now is to do another thing, and that thing, without the strength of the two of us, it is impossible to succeed......"
"But it won't take much time. Helast Black Robe shook his head: "I have decided, I want to go to the bottomless abyss to have some fun for the children, and also, I have a new plan, that female red robe......"
A hint of cunning appeared on his face: "Don't you think, she is very useful?"
"Misrila?" Sazastan pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Black Robe, you're right......
...... She's very useful. ”
The sound of the cane tapping on the ground ceased, and Sazastan stood up and disappeared into the canyon with Helast's figure.
