Arcane Journey

Chapter 163 Resting Lily Temple
The Moon Forest is located to the north of Silvermoon City.

Although there is no infestation by goblin orcs here, there are many lycanthropes who believe in Mara, the god of hunting, living here, also known as the people of black blood.

Similarly, the Moon Forest is also a settlement of kind beasts headed by Tigermen and Bearmen who believe in the Moon Goddess Su Lun.

The confrontation between the two in the forest never ended.

After Brian walked out of the portal, he walked along the forest path for about a kilometer, and came to a temple called 'Lily of Rest'.

This is built around a hot spring filled with fey magic in an open woodland in the Moon Forest.

Since he settled in the Northland Alliance late in the game world, he didn't know much about the ruins or disappeared buildings near Silvermoon City.

He knew very well that this temple had already been destroyed by adventurers when he came to Silvermoon City.

From what he had gleaned from the people on the trail, the temple of the Lily of Rest was well known among the elite of the Sword Coast and the North.

The magical hot springs and physical therapy services of the temple can make travelers feel the most comfortable relaxation and rest.

Above all, the temple was built by followers of Sune the Lady of Love, a deity of beauty, love, and passion.

Among the guests are Baldur's Gate veterans of the Fist of the Flame, seeking a little excitement while trying to heal a wounded leg with magical therapy, and business couples or travelers on their honeymoon.

To his surprise, there was a rock gnome inventor from Silvermoon City who came here just to sell his newly invented cleaning tool, but was kicked out by the owner.

He didn't think about it anymore, and went straight to the gate of the temple and rang the doorbell.

As soon as the doorbell rang, the double doors opened in response.

When Brian walked in, he found that behind the door was a spacious foyer, and the air was filled with the scent of fresh lilies.

In the center of the room was a table neatly stacked with papers and a freshly cut bouquet of lilies in a vase.

A human female waiter in a tight crimson outfit with a low collar showing half of her ball greeted her with a smile.

Brian also noticed that the female waiter's eye-catching position also had a bright red lip imprint, which made people always unconsciously move their eyes to it.

"Welcome to Lily of Rest, dear guest. You can refresh yourself from head to toe in our luxurious bathroom. Or would you like a massage? Haircut? ? No matter which one you like, I will serve you sincerely."

"Here you can freely release yourself and show beauty and love. Ms. Sune loves everyone in the world." The glamorous waiter playfully licked her red lips, and a ruby ​​inlaid on the tip of her tongue was clearly visible.

Bryan glanced at the price list taped to the wall. Entry to the baths cost 5 gp per person and included the use of magic baths, cozy bathrobes, and a private dressing room with small locked chests for weapons and equipment. .

It provides accommodation for guests who want to stay overnight. The cost is 4 gold coins per person, and the meal fee is 5 gold coins. The lounge can provide a variety of drinks.

You can also enjoy haircut, shaving and waxing services here, the price is 2 gold coins, 1 gold coin and 10 gold coins respectively.

The massage needs to cost 20 gold coins to book, and the duration is one hour.

Manicures and pedicures cost 2 gold coins, and pedicures may incur additional fees depending on how clean the client's feet are.

Although the price here is not as exaggerated as the "Fire Mansion" in Silvermoon City, which is known as the "holy land for hookups" by their players, it is not affordable by ordinary people.

Seeing the maid who came up to him, Brian felt a chill, frowned subconsciously, and kept a distance from her.

After all, he had heard long ago that the masterminds behind this temple were three hags.

What hags look like can be seen from their names.

This ancient existence originates from the Feywild, but has become the scourge of the Material Plane.

Their shriveled faces are covered with broken long hair, their pockmarked skin has scary moles and sarcoid tumors, and on the tips of their thin fingers, there are sharp claws that can easily cut through flesh and blood. Their clothes are simple and always Dirty and dirty.

But this disgusting monster is also very good at transfiguration. Those players who can't control their lower body are often disgusted by hags.

"I'm not interested in any of your services." Brian said to the waitress deliberately with a cold face, to see how she would respond.

"It's okay, dear guest." The glamorous waitress said with a smile:
"Sunie is fraternal, and all her believers should try to love more people, or try to show their attractiveness as much as possible, so that more people fall in love with you. If you are not satisfied, you can go to Walk around in the temple, believe me, there will always be hobbies that interest you."

If Brian hadn't known the details in advance, he would even really have thought that the waitress in front of him was a believer in the goddess of love.

After all, no matter whether in Araby City or Silvermoon City, he has participated in at least one large-scale carnival feast held by the Sune Cultists every month.

"I think so too." He flashed his eyes and replied, "Then I'll just go shopping."

"Please, dear guest, may the fire-haired lady be with you." The waiter bowed deeply to him, deliberately showing the dazzling career line on his chest.

Brian turned and walked towards the depths of the hall, recalling some trivial news about the temple in his memory.

It is said that the reason why the adventurers and players were able to kill the three behind-the-scenes ghosts and destroy the temple was that the biggest help came from a water fairy living in the magic hot spring.

Thinking of the racial characteristics of the water fairy, he immediately released detection magic out of thin air to find the location of the magic hot spring.

After he confirmed the location, he quietly hid in an unoccupied corner, applying invisibility and silence to himself.

With the blessing of "avoid detection" attached to the legendary purple dragon seal ring, Brian believed that in his current state, no one could detect his existence through divination or scouting spells.

Then, without wasting any time, he went straight to the hot spring.

As he expected, there were many male waiters who looked like demons wandering around the water fairy's magic hot spring.

During this period, a halfling who walked in the wrong direction almost entered the bathing pool of the Water Fairy, but was finally persuaded to go back by the vigilant waiter.

In the invisible state, he ignored them, checked that there were no magic traps nearby, and walked in openly.

This is an open air bath.

Glossy white marble surrounds a large central pool filled with turquoise, steaming hot water.

Stone pillars run along the outer walls, with the image of Sune carved in relief.

Among the stone columns, frosted windows diffuse the light from outside through the mist in the air.

Brian lifted his invisibility and silence spells, walked to the edge of the pool, stretched his hands into the clear water, and felt the strong magical energy.

"Who!"

Following the sound of a vigilant voice, the water in the pool swayed slightly, and ripples continued to spread around.

"Whoa!"

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the pool filled with magical energy.

Brian got up quickly and kept a certain distance from him.

This is a charming elf girl who only shows her upper body.

She was wearing a long, delicate and wrinkled light blue dress. As she emerged from the water, the dress slid down slightly, revealing her jade-like fragrant shoulders and a large area of ​​snow-white chest.

The bright morning light happened to shine directly down, making her graceful body seem to be coated with a seductive halo.

Her waterfall-like long silver-white hair floated loosely on the surface of the water, and her light blue eyes, shining like water, stared at Brian with infinite temptation and coldness.
