Arcane Journey

After some deep and harmonious conversation, the guests left Vezran's mage tower contented.

In the darkness, Brian stepped out of the tower door. Although there was a turmoil in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

He could clearly feel that Wizlan was confident and confident about the upcoming turbulent situation in the Dark Territory, as if there was a powerful force in his hands that could prevent any turmoil from happening.

But Brian noticed something different from the conversation between the two.

Witzlan seems to have overlooked a crucial detail.

The former chief mage had always believed that the man behind the turmoil in the Underdark was the chief mage of the ancient city of Orens, Khadrof. He was convinced that Khadrof had ulterior ambitions and conspiracies and intended to subvert the existing order.

The truth is not that simple.

The real manipulator behind the scenes gradually became clear. He was the spider wizard who had almost killed Brian and miraculously saved his life.

The figure of this wizard left a deep impression on Brian. He possessed elusive power that was different from ordinary people.

In the battle between Vizlan and Khadrof, the spider wizard seems to be secretly manipulating an unknown chess game.

Not only did he use his unique power to influence the situation in the Underdark, he also cleverly took advantage of the entanglements and conflicts between Wizzran and Khadrov.

In this situation, the actions of any party may become a pawn in his hands.

What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind all this?
Brian couldn't help but feel doubtful.

As the situation intensified, Brian realized that his fate would also be involved in this unknown battle.

He must act more cautiously, looking for clues to uncover the true face and purpose of the spider wizard.

At the same time, he must also work hard to find allies to jointly deal with the upcoming crisis.

This contest is far more complex and dangerous than imagined, and Brian's fate will also move in an unknown direction in this chaos.

You must know that the spider wizard is one of the most powerful wizards in the ancient city of Orens. His reputation has become quite strange over the years, as if shrouded in an elusive fog.

He hides his powerful magical abilities unfathomably. Behind all of this is his fanatical devotion and endless worship of the Spider Queen Rose.

However, all this is just a superficial phenomenon, and the truth is hidden deeper.

In fact, deep within the Arachnid's heart burns a hatred of Lolth's tyranny and chaos.

He looked at the drow that had been twisted and transformed by Lolth, and his heart was filled with sorrow for their experiences and his insistence on the identity of the high noble group.

In his opinion, the drow were originally a noble race among the surface elves. They were once a civilized and compassionate group of people.

Unfortunately, since being deceived by the spider web spun by Rose, they began to degenerate and became vicious, evil, hateful and ruthless.

This change made the spider wizard feel angry.

Because what Lolth did to the drow was just one of her boring games.

She takes pleasure in teasing these creatures and using them as tools to satisfy her own desires. This ruthless and grotesque behavior makes the spider wizard intolerable.

As such, he remains committed to freeing the drow from Lolth's manipulations and allowing them to regain their freedom and nobility.

In his eyes, this is the only way to save these deluded creatures and return them to their true selves. He studied magic and the nature of the Spider Queen day and night, looking for a way to break Lolth's control.

During the short period of time when Rose, the Spider Queen, was asleep, the city of Ancient Orens encountered an unprecedented crisis.

A group of incarnations of demon monarchs ravaged this city as if it were a copy, as if they wanted to completely destroy it.

The culprit of all this is the spider wizard who seems crazy to the outside world, but is actually full of ideals and persistence in his heart.

Although his actions caused a disaster, his goal was always to save the deluded drow and to rescue them from Lolth's tyranny and chaos. Although his actions were extreme, his original intentions and beliefs never change. As for Witzlan's purpose, it is actually very similar to that of the spider wizard, except that compared to the two, one method is relatively extreme, while the other hopes to achieve it through his own planning.

Like any other sane creature, Vizzlan's concerns about the Underdark are etched deep in his psyche.

He did not want to see this once peaceful area become the home of the residents of the abyss, nor did he want the demon lords to establish a sphere of influence here.

He knew that once these powerful beings took root here, they would sweep across the entire Faerûn continent like strong winds, spreading chaos and madness.

This is not a far-fetched prophecy. As long as there is enough time, such a disaster will definitely happen.

Vizran's mind was filled with wariness of the demon lords and a thirst for battle.

He desperately desires to destroy his old enemies, the forces of darkness, especially the demon spider queen Lolth.

His hatred for the great evil burned like a fire, and he hoped to one day defeat her completely and reveal her true face.

He hopes that all drow races will see Lolth for her true nature - a cunning and cunning creature.

Deep in his heart, there was a desire so strong that it almost became an obsession - to witness the destruction of Menzoberranzan in the demonic rebellion.

He imagined that day, when demonic roars and chaos filled the air, and the prosperity of the ancient city of Orens was reduced to ruins.

In that chaos, he hoped to see the once proud drow race ragged and homeless because of Lolth's betrayal and deceit.

He hoped that they would develop a deep dislike and suspicion of Rose and stop blindly worshiping her.

Furthermore, Vezlan hopes that the priestesses of Lolth will turn to him for guidance and salvation in their despair.

I hope that these people who were once confused by Rose and are now in deep trouble can realize who the real enemy is and find new hope and direction.

Wizzran will stop at nothing to fulfill these wishes, knowing that this is his only way to fight against chaos and darkness.

"Devils are the ultimate embodiment of madness and hatred. They are bound by invisible chains in the abyss, constantly fighting and fighting.

Their power is frightening, even for the greatest and most powerful among them.

In the abyss, the endless battle between demons has begun a new chapter.

While their powers are great, we have the opportunity to exploit their weaknesses and put them in a difficult situation.

We can start fights among them, make them fight each other, and weaken their power.

When the demon lords' physical manifestations in our world are weakened, their essence cannot be completely eliminated, but they are severely damaged in the abyss, as if banished.

Such an opportunity requires us to carefully plan a ceremony to create it. This ritual needs to be designed by a magic master like Khadrof, but it must not be as dangerous and stupid as Khadrov.

The main purpose of the ritual is to draw the most powerful demon lords to the place where they were originally summoned, so that they can fight with each other and consume each other's power.

Once they start killing each other, their power is greatly diminished, as is the case for their physical manifestations. Then it will be easier to eliminate them.

This ritual requires specific ingredients to create a magic weapon that draws demons away. Only with these essential ingredients can this unprecedented ritual be launched.

Any surviving demon lords will be severely damaged, their power will be greatly weakened, and their destruction will be easy.

In order to complete this ritual, I needed to delve deeper into Khadrof's spellbook and notes. These materials may contain key secrets and important clues. "

The corners of Wizlan's mouth raised, revealing a shallow smile.

Recalling what Wizlan said before leaving, Brian already knew what he should do next. (End of chapter)
