Arcane Journey

"Did you just find a soul crystal from the corpse?" The female elf Avilia walked over and asked with a slight frown.

Feeling that there was a questioning tone between the lines of the female elf's words, Brian, who had already lifted the disguise spell, smiled and said, "That's right. What, are you interested in it?"

"That might disappoint you. I'm not in the habit of sharing my spoils." He tried to divert attention.

"Tch, how could I be interested in the Soul Crystal of the Necromancer." Avilia snorted softly, "You have to know that I am a believer of the Silver Virgin Selene, and the most unsightly thing is these evil and filthy things. .”

Originally, she planned to remind Brian not to touch these things, but she remembered that the two of them were not familiar with each other to this extent, so she retreated and changed the reminder to a subtle warning.

Brian, who has lived for a long time, how could he not see the little thoughts of the female elf? He chuckled and asked pretending to be curious, "Excuse me, Miss Avilia, where does your home live?" The beach?”

"Seaside?" Avilia was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said truthfully, "My ancestors did not go to Evermeet Island together during the great retreat. We have always settled in Duskendale City in the Supreme Forest."

"That's strange." Brian met the female elf's gaze, scratched his head, and said puzzledly, "Since you don't live by the sea, why do you have to be so lenient? I really don't understand you women."

After saying that, he turned around and walked in the direction of Viscount Obai.

"Of course I am..." Halfway through her words, Avilia suddenly realized that this extremely shameless human being was actually making fun of herself. She stamped her feet angrily, chased after Brian, and warned him unceremoniously:

"I just want to tell you that you'd better not touch the soul crystal at will. After all, the soul is imprisoned in it. In the world of Toril, any research related to the soul is prohibited by the gods. If you don't Listen to your advice, and one day, I will personally guide the radiance of the Silver Virgin to completely purify you."

"Are you planning to destroy me on behalf of the moon?" Brian replied with a smile, "Then I wish that the glory of the Moon Goddess will never dim."

"Master Brian, Miss Avilia." After the final work of the battle, Viscount Obai took the initiative to greet them. He leaned slightly towards the two of them with an extremely respectful expression and said sincerely, "Thank you both for your help. Not only did I get my revenge, but I also regained my own territory."

"If you two don't mind, I sincerely invite you to join us tonight..."

"Any gift from fate has a price tag secretly." Brian raised his hand to interrupt Viscount Obai's words, and said calmly with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not interested in those banquets of yours, you Know what I want."

The oak fruit that increases lifespan, for him, in addition to increasing his lifespan and allowing him to more stably improve his cultivation in the world of immortality, the cultivation of the 'chaos body' of the "Chaos Guidance Technique", It is also very important. Naturally, I want to get it as soon as possible.

"Of course I understand what Master needs." Viscount Obai hesitated and said, "It's just... I don't know much about the whereabouts of the oak tree yet. I need to wait for at least a month..."

"In other words, are you kidding me?" Brian's face darkened when he heard this. When he raised his hand, a crackling electric arc appeared in his palm, and then flexibly wrapped around Viscount Obai, electrocuting him straight. tremble.

"Master has misunderstood." Viscount Obai explained while resisting the numbness and pain all over his body. "Master has really misunderstood. Although I don't know the whereabouts of the oak tree, a goblin will come to meet him in a month. I trade oak nuts and I can get it out of his mouth when the time comes."

Brian withdrew the spell and said in a slightly cold tone, "You'd better be honest with me. Remember, I can help you regain your territory, and I can also make you spit it out intact."

"I'll wait for you at the Iron Horse Tavern. I hope you won't disappoint me." He turned and left.

The female elf Avilia, who was silent all the time, looked at Viscount Obai who turned pale with fright, and said to him, "I hope the Viscount will not forget the promise you made to me."

After saying that, she chased after Brian in the direction he left.

"Why are you following me?" Brian walked out of the hall, facing the flying snowflakes, and said to the female elf beside him.

"It's nothing, I'm just passing by." After Avilia said, she couldn't help but curiously asked, "Speaking of which, what is your occupation? Why is the method of releasing spells so strange? In the battle just now, I found that you can both Using magic nets to cast spells, you can also cast them alone, and the spells are so powerful that they remind me of another group."

"What group?" Brian slowed down. "A spellcaster from Karatu Continent." Avilia said truthfully, recalling some of the information she had consulted in Duskendale City's largest Nightsong Library.

It is said that in the distant Karatu continent, the casters who master magic there are very mysterious and rarely live among people. Instead, they live deep in the mountains and forests like hermits to purify their bodies and minds.

They can control elements, spiritual power, and display powerful destructive power.

After Avilia's careful observation, she discovered that Brian's magic was more similar to the sword singers and sword mages of the elves.

But the difference is that Brian will not rely too much on his moon blade or contract weapon like the swordsinger and sword mage.

Even without the aid of a sword, the magical power he released when he raised his hand was more powerful than that of a sword chanter or a sword mage.

Brian heard this, smiled thoughtfully, and said to her, "You guessed it right, I am indeed from the continent of Kara-atu, a loose immortal who has a little bit of success in monasticism."

Sanxian?

In this world dominated by gods, Avilia, as a clergyman, accidentally learned about the concept of immortals from the relevant information on Karatu.

It is said that it is ruled by a main god who lives in heaven and is called the Immortal Emperor.

There are also the Nine Immortals under the Immortal Emperor who are known as the Nine Walkers, and then there are the Jade Girl, Yin Bing, Karma Lord and Yue'e who serve the Nine Immortals, and then there are the immortals who live in the material world and are represented by the seven true dragons. Headed by millions of immortal officials including mountain gods, land gods, and river gods.

To her surprise, the other party turned out to be an Easterner from the Karatu continent.

Thinking of this, Avilia subconsciously wanted to take a closer look at Brian's appearance. However, what made her depressed was that when she looked over, the figure of the other person had already disappeared into the snowflakes flying in the sky, leaving only a trace on the ground. The next series of footprints, which were about to be covered up, proved that he had indeed existed.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

Iron Horse Tavern, in a dark room.

Brian looked at the scroll on the table, reached out and gently pulled away the black tie on it, and carefully spread it flat on the table.

The moment the scroll was fully unfolded, a spooky cold wind floated past without warning, blowing the curtains behind him.

Brian was unmoved. He looked into the scroll and drew a picture of a gourd. He drew a strange six-pointed star array. After a slight hesitation, he took out the Hundred Ghost Banner and other magic weapons and placed them where he could easily reach them.

While waiting for Viscount Obai to send news about the oak tree, he was naturally not idle. He had been studying an idea that came to him after he obtained the soul crystal.

It is to combine the Hundred Ghost Banners of the Immortal World to summon demons from the bottomless abyss to the main material world, and then use secret methods to seal them in the ghost banners for you to control at will.

Summoning demons is an extremely dangerous act.

Therefore, the preparation for summoning demons is very critical. Only an experienced summoner who is familiar with specific spells and magic items can make demons obey the summoner's wishes.

Otherwise, even a slight error in summoning can cause the demon to lose control and make its summoner the first victim of its wrath.

For this demon summoning ceremony, Brian had been preparing for about half a month. (End of chapter)
