The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 315 The Prophet of the Earth
What does it mean to be immature?Lie to Jergal!

As a group of (former) Grand Arcanists who regard gods as their more powerful counterparts, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that they are lawless.Not to mention anything else, just looking at Karthus's daring to develop the forbidden technique [Karthus' Avatar] that directly became a god (although the final ending is not very good), you can see how daring they are.

No one believed that Iolum would hide the truth out of fear of something, nor would anyone believe that he would lie for a little fame, unless he was planning some huge conspiracy.Iolum said that the timing was not ripe, so he didn't explain further, but most of the people present were cunning people, they just buried their doubts in their hearts and kept them in mind, and they didn't just break the casserole and ask to the end.

Iolum of Sinrenal, who was less than three feet tall, didn't care about the uproar of the others, and pointed to the Mither Core above his head and said, "William, do you think this Mither Core looks familiar?"

It is very familiar, but William will not honestly give an affirmative answer. He looks at everyone with a blank face, playing his "ignorance" characteristic with ease.

"Although the Miser Energy Core is the source of the magic energy of Nether Floating Void City, it is just a kind of imitation offspring magic device, and there is a mother source core on it. The Miser Energy Core is continuously flowing from the magic network through the magic network. Extracting raw energy from the sea of ​​energy, the mother source core is the key to controlling the magic network. However, the mother source core does not exist physically, it must be attached to intelligent creatures, and this attached person will become the master of the magic network. "A more astonishing inside story broke out rather calmly, and most of the people present were dizzy, dizzy and burned with shock.However, there are also a few old guys who the old gods don't care about. It seems that they have known the news for a long time.

Seeming to see the greed in many people's hearts, Iolum said again, "Although the mother's core is a supreme fetish, it can't be forced. Karthus suffered a lot from it back then, unless the mother The core of the source surrendered voluntarily, even the gods would not want to grab it by force, otherwise the prophet Acindor would not have given it to us humans on purpose."

Acindor, the Prophet of the Earth, is another great figure that has to be mentioned in the Netheril era. Almost every major historical event in Netheril (whether it is good or bad) has his figure—— Similar to the status of a "prophet" wise man.

The Earth Prophet Acindor has a high reputation and status in the hearts of the Netherese, but from Iolum's tone, the mysterious Earth Prophet does not seem to be of human origin.This was another bolt from the blue for most of those present who had experienced Netheril's glory and downfall.

The crowd could no longer bear the fear and doubt in their hearts, and they all asked: "Lord Iolum, how is this possible? What basis do you have?"

Iolum said eloquently: "Toril has been home to reptilian creatures since the formation of the continent, including snakes (without limbs) and lizards (with limbs). From a few inches long to the size of the largest ocean liner. Amongst these various reptilian creatures certain intelligent lizards and snakes developed societies, mastered magic, and even founded primitive empires."

"In this ancient time, a lizard people called Sarukh gradually became the rulers of Faerun. In the process of their civilization development, they discovered the knowledge of spells that they had never encountered before. Sarukh The shamans learned these primitive spells and recorded them on a special golden page they called the 'Golden Skin of the World Serpent'."

"Neither scroll?!" Several of the listeners couldn't help exclaiming.The reason why humans in the Netheril era were able to stand out from the many intelligent races at that time was the discovery of the Nether scrolls, and the decline of Netheril was also related to the succession of the Nether scrolls. .Since the rise of Netheril, all mages who specialize in any field of the secret arts have gained knowledge from the Netherese scrolls, and even a lot of information contained in these scrolls has been regarded as common sense by the magical community of Faerun.Today, it can be said bluntly that the Nether scroll has become the basis of Faerun's magic theory today.

Iolum ignored everyone's astonishment and continued: "Just like us Netheril, the Sarukh shaman lizard people also encountered a war with the Faerun mokui, and their civilization gradually declined as a result. In the end, there was only a secret organization called Baetis, who led a small number of Sarukh shaman lizardmen to retreat to their only remaining underground city, Orem, and escaped the disaster and survived."

"You should be very clear that the secret organization we have been fighting against - Baietis, I have not let you act rashly before, because we know far less about them than they know about us. In Austria There are at least sixty Sarukh witches in the lair of Lim Sarukh, and the Earth Prophet Acindor is one of them. They rule there in turn, and each of them wakes up from hibernation. will sit on the throne for years, and then return to their slumber in the city of the Lizard's Dream when the next lich wakes."

The Earth Prophet Axindor came to the Netherese Empire in the form of a human being, and was called the "Earth Prophet" by the latter in his contact with the Netherilians.In fact, Netherese know very little about this person, and the "Earth Prophet" always seems to be a mystery, and people don't even know their gender.Whether it's him or her, the "Earth Prophet" always appears when the problem arises and disappears when the problem is solved.Throughout Netheril’s records about Alcindor, He appeared in a positive image in the early stage, but the historical records in the later period, if interpreted from the perspective of later generations, are not so glorious——“The Prophet of the Earth” Seems to resent being a witness to Nether's great problems, and mysteriously disappeared during the downfall of Nether civilization.

Iolum said loudly: "Behind almost every major event in Netheril, there are shadows of Sarukh Witches and Liches active. Although I can't be sure whether they were really kind or malicious back then, but The ending of Netheril has already explained everything. We deliberately diverted our attention to protect Netheril, and gave them a small part of Netheril's most elite heritage back then, but this does not mean everything Everything is fine. Because Acindor and the others are still alive, Felim Mokui and Saren Spirit are still unresolved."

"William! I hope you can go to Elaento after entering the Great Desert of Enook, and meet the other me—Iolum the Lich, who has been watching the Sarukh witch gnats there. The Lich and the Faerim. He will tell you some useful information—for you and others." Iolum finally revealed one of his reasons for meeting William.
