Arcane Journey

Chapter 285 Sister Radiance
The weather tonight is fine, the moonlight casts a bright silver light on the earth, and the river in the distance is like a glowing silk, slowly flowing eastward.

A magical flash of inspiration flashed, and several squirrels looking for food on the treetops screamed a few times, and fled quickly into the shadows deep in the woods.

As the light of the magic circle receded, a figure in a dark purple cloak appeared on the river bank.

"This is...the Abatha River?" Brian said to himself, staring at the flowing river.

The Abatha River gushes out from the Thunder Peak Mountains near the Deep Forest Valley, passes through the Shadow Valley, flows all the way to the Sea of ​​Falling Stars, passes through Comanthor, Misty Valley, Battle Valley and Feather Valley, and finally flows through Scar Canyon and Scar Valley.

In other words, this should be the intersection of the Kingdom of Sambia and Feather Valley.

Brian looked into the distance, and when he noticed a pure black stone bridge with a silvery luster under the moonlight, he immediately recognized where he was.

Black Feather Bridge in Feathervale, a bridge consecrated by priests of the murder god Cyric.

Because of the Troubled Years, it was here that Cyric killed the Phantom Goddess Lyra, and priests of the Murder God often came here to visit the bridge and offer prayers and sacrifices.

After determining the location, Brian immediately activated the detection spell to find the location of Storm and others.

After learning that Simbu was in trouble outside the city of Sergante, the leader of the Harpist immediately activated the teleportation spell to rush to support through the unique spiritual link between the seven sisters.

Naturally, Brian did not have this kind of treatment. With a distance of more than 1000 kilometers between the two, he could only wait for the storm to converge with Simbu and rush over according to the coordinates left by the storm.

The only thing that makes him regret is that no trace of Santilla has been found until now.

However, he could feel that the drow girl was not killed by the lost lady, and it was very likely that she hid in a different dimension that even he could not detect by some means.

Storm had assured him that there would be no accidents in Santilla, and this might be an opportunity for her.

As for what this 'opportunity' is, Brian can figure it out with his feet, and this is what worries him the most.

"boom!"

As Brian was walking, a violent shock suddenly came from the front.

This is the Feather Valley, which means that the army of the Misty Valley and the reinforcements from Tivanton have already conquered all the land in the valley occupied by Sembia under the leadership of Azara and Methema.

For such a high efficiency, it is obvious that most of the credit belongs to Simbu, the wizard queen from Aglaron.

In other words, the purpose of Brian's trip has basically been fulfilled.

Although the Floating Void City did not crash, which made him deeply regretful, the Shadow Temple of Sacross and the Stone of Shadow Demon Net system all collapsed, including the vast majority of priests in the temple.

It is obviously impossible for the eldest prince Rui Valan to assemble a powerful army in a short period of time and raise the floating city to the sky again.

The strategic purpose of his trip was basically accomplished.

In fact, Brian had mixed feelings about Supreme King Telamante's action to save the floating city of Saxros.

There is no need to say much about the worry, but the reason for the joy is because of a guess that I am not sure about.

You must know that there are mainly three forces in the city of ghosts.

Represented by the eldest prince Ruivalan, a staunch supporter on the side of the Lost Lady, a group of ghost mages led by the Supreme King Telamante who are trying to get rid of the control of the Lost Lady, and the fifth prince Desoud Several neutral forces represented by the sixth prince Lamorak.

In the plot of the game world, since the Supreme King Telamante united with the people of the Church of Shar and severely injured the sage Elminster of the Valley of Shadows, he has never participated in the Lost Lady's campaign against the Mystara Magic Net. plan.

Even if the floating city of Sacross launched an all-out attack on the Kingdom of Cormyr, Telamante would still hang around in his ghost city and fish for fish.

This made Brian suspect that the Supreme King Telamante might have reached an agreement with the Lost Lady. For example, if he wants to make a move, he must pay something.

Therefore, the Supreme King's move to save the floating city of Saroux this time, in his opinion, may also mean that the missing lady has one less chip in her hand.

Of course, this is all his unilateral guesswork.

As for whether it is accurate or not, it depends on what kind of unexpected gains the little prince Brenas of the City of Shadows can have after finding Iolum, and the truth will naturally be revealed at that time.

After all, he no longer dared to confidently claim that he could know anything that happened in the next timeline.

The appearance of the Devil in Baator Hell and Shar, the Lost Lady, these two loud slaps had already taught him a lesson.

"Boom!"

The violent shaking sound came again.

Brian's footsteps involuntarily quickened, he was already sure that there was a battle ahead, and it was on his only path.

"What kind of enemy is it that can make the mad witch Simbu helpless?" He quickened his pace while thinking about the helper of the eldest prince Rui Valan.

- "Invisibility!"

With a thought, his figure instantly merged into the darkness, and then moved closer to the place where the battle took place.

His rich combat experience told him that when his own strength cannot be crushed, he must not suddenly intervene in a fierce battle openly.

The consequence of doing this is that the moment he appeared, he suddenly became the most beautiful boy on the battlefield, and then he was shot down by the opponent in seconds.

It is the most correct way to touch it quietly, without the opponent's knowledge, to make a surprise attack and take away an enemy in an instant.

Moreover, his legendary equipment "Purple Dragon Seal Ring" has the "Detection Avoidance" enchanted by the female lord Myrcella herself. After turning on the invisibility, it will not be easily detected by any divination and scrying spells.

This is simply a must-have equipment for sneak attack.

There is dissipated magical energy in the air.

Before he got close to the battle area, Brian sensed the magical energy. This energy made him feel a little familiar. It should be that crazy witch of Simbu.

As he continued to approach the battle field, dark breath, shadow energy, elemental fluctuations, divine magic brilliance, and some kind of power that Brian felt very uncomfortable and dreaded, but a little familiar.

"boom!"

There was the sound of the fireball exploding, and there was a series of singing-like chanting like a long sword dancing.

This magical sound made Brian feel his mind shake just the moment he heard it, as if he drank a sip of ice water on a hot summer day.

This made him immediately judge that it was the bard storm's attack method, because the attacks of legendary bards can always unintentionally emit morale-boosting music.

"It really is her!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Brian spotted a slim figure covered in a black cloak and wearing purple decorations.

'Black Veil' Yili Riel.

Brian recognized the figure's name immediately.

The Temple of the Old Night in Calimport is the oldest and proudest site of Shar's worship.

This is an underground building complex, covering most of the underground area of ​​the eastern urban area.

Highest known Servant of Shar: Dancer Before Dawn, ruled by Illyrel the 'Black Veil', a dissolute Calishite woman known for her whimsy of revelry and murder, She has sparked at least 10 coups across the continent over the years.

It was she who completed a huge dark ceremony in Udulin, the capital of the Kingdom of Sembia, and summoned an interdimensional rift, destroying this large city with a population of nearly 20, leaving most of the residents in this catastrophe Killed in an attack and transformed into an undead creature.

Bryan also knew that in the next operation, Tifington would also face the same fate, and it was this person who planned it.

Seeing the familiar enemy, he quickly restrained his breath, and stepped back a little, allowing himself to blend into the dark shadow more subtly.

If given the chance, he wouldn't mind keeping the other party here forever.

Then, he saw another acquaintance wearing a dark blue robe.

Mirabetta, the female leader of the Kingdom of Sembia, is a dragon vein warlock whose strength has reached a medium legend.

This bitch is also a ruthless character.

Mirabetta Selchik was born in a warlock family in Sambia.

It is said that her family imprisoned a male and mature blue dragon. In order to obtain the power of the dragon vein, this female commander spent 20 years, letting the blue dragon sow seeds day and night, and gave birth to hundreds of blue dragons with blue dragon blood. half-dragon.

Then when these half-dragon people grew to about ten years old, these half-dragon children, together with the blue dragon, were all slaughtered by a sacrificial ceremony.

Its purpose is to use some kind of evil secret method to extract the power of their bloodlines.

This is the fundamental reason why she was able to advance to legend in just a few years and become the most powerful blue dragon warlock in the Sambia Kingdom.

This is not only an incomparably powerful spellcaster, but also a rather terrifying fighter who is good at hand-to-hand combat.

The female leader of the Kingdom of Sambia.

In a sense, her fame and rise among their player groups is even more exaggerated than that of the female lord Myrcella of the Kingdom of Cormyr.

When this cruel dragon vein warlock first appeared on the stage, he appeared in the player's sight as the female commander elected by the Supreme Council of the Kingdom of Sembia, and directly formed a military alliance with the eldest prince of the City of Shadows.

In the end, without accident, she killed the Supreme Council of the Sambia Kingdom and took over the power of the entire kingdom at an alarming speed.

It can be said that this female Grand Commander is one of the most feared women in the Valley and Cormyr.

Her ruthlessness and cruelty are comparable to those of the drow mistresses in the Underdark, and almost anyone who deals with her is extremely cautious, including the eldest prince Ruivalan of the City of Shadows.

Now that the female generals have appeared, did she also participate in the siege?

Brian's eyes turned to a figure in a long white dress.

It was a young girl, to be precise, it was a peerless existence that was enough to make everyone dumbfounded and hold their breath.

White and flawless skin, a small nose, pink lips slightly raised, with a charming smile full of pure temptation, two big eyes rolling slowly, giving people a playful and lovely feeling.

She seems to be a collection of contradictions of innocence and temptation. She looks so ignorant of the world, but she reveals a fatal allure.

Radiant Sister Terina the 'Pure'.

Brian recognized the true identity of the human girl.

To be precise, Sister Glory is an advanced form of a succubus: a demon.

There were thirteen of them in all, created by the succubus queen Mecansut after endless joy, and the thirteen remained faithful to their mother.

Known as the Sisters of Radiance, these multitalented Legemons are master seducers, singers, strategists, and 'lovers', as well as favorite servants of the Succubus Queen.

Normally, Sisters of Radiance can be distinguished by the halo around their heads.

The halo and hair color of each Radiant Sister are different, and people also use colors to distinguish them, such as: jet black, violet, deep red, snow white, emerald green and so on.

The radiance nun can freely control the brightness of the halo, from dim to almost indistinguishable to a bright light that can illuminate a radius of 120 feet, and even manifest various supernatural abilities.

But the Hui Yao nun in front of her obviously didn't reveal her aura, which meant that she hadn't used her true strength yet.

It is said that as long as the succubus queen Mecanthort still rules Shendiravel in the Abyss, the 13 glorious nuns will never disappear.

If a Sister of Radiance dies, another Limor will be promoted to become the new Sister of Radiance.

As Brian saw, Sister Hui Yao has a more pure and holy temperament than angels, and each of them will be regarded as the messenger of the gods by mortals when they arrive at the material plane.

Actually it's not bad at all.

The succubus queen, Meicanxiet, has surpassed those gods with weak powers in many places. It is not presumptuous to describe her as a god, and Sister Hui Yao is her messenger, an absolutely loyal messenger, and no one can shake Sister Hui Yao Loyalty to Maycanthot.

However, there is no good atmosphere among sisters Hui Yao.

They are all vying for their mother's favor, competing in every aspect from combat power, command ability, merit, seducing mortal souls, to bedtime skills.

And Meikanxiu Te has a fickle and unpredictable character. Although she dotes on all her daughters, the one she loves the most is always changing, which intensifies the competition and turns it into a cruel competition.

In fact, what is interesting is that since the emergence of Sister Hui Yao, no nun has died at the hands of the enemy, and every nun who has fallen has died at the hands of her own sisters.

Every time a nun dies, Mecansiot sheds tears.

It's not a pose, it's genuinely sad.

She really loves every daughter, but after being sad, she will severely reward the daughter who killed her sister, because Meikanxiet thinks she is stronger...

There is a passage that reads:
"The most beloved servant of the succubus queen, Meicanxiet, is naturally the succubus. Since she became the succubus queen, Meicanxiet has a special love for the succubus, even if some succubus often disobey her wishes, this kind of Favors haven't changed either. To Mecanthet's peculiar logic, these 'willful' Brilliant Sisters are nothing more than their nature. Only some particularly rare succubi, such as those who live in Sigil The Lady Fallen From Favor is the one who has truly fallen out of the Succubus Queen's favor, and if there is anything in the multiverse that can truly grieve Melkansiot, it is without a doubt these lost children."

The reason why the reputation of Mirabetta, the female leader of Sembia, is more exaggerated in their player group than Myrcella, the female lord of Cormyr Kingdom, is that she also has a bundled software: Sister Glory .

This is the same as "the 3D zone cannot lose Tifa, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem".

Whenever Mirabeta, the Grand Priestess, appears, the human form of Sister Radiant Terina the 'Pure' follows her.

At the beginning, no one knew that the real identity of the other party was Sister Hui Yao.

Until one day, in the city of Sergante in the Kingdom of Sembia, there was a battle between Iriel, the female leader Mirabetta and Terina, the shining nun. The three fought fiercely against hundreds of players. famous scene.

Afterwards, some players even said proudly: "When I think about being fucked to death by Sister Hui Yao, I feel—it's so fucking exciting!"

Bryan guessed that the evil secret method used by the female leader to quickly increase her strength probably came from the Succubus Queen of the Abyss.

This kind of secret method is not without sequelae, for example, the strong desire to inherit the real dragon is one of them.

As for why Sister Hui Yao appeared on the Material Plane.

This is naturally related to the upcoming turmoil in the Underdark region. The Succubus Queen is planning ahead of time to deal with the demon prince Demogorgon.
