The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 340 The Truth About the Adventure

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.William is well aware of the inferiority of human beings, even he himself was no exception.William sighed, nodded and said: "Okay! I understand, I will try to use the power of fire in front of people as little as possible in the future."

Tabari said: "No! You don't understand! You don't understand what the power of the cursefire can do to you. It's not just great power."

"The known curse fire has two forms. One is the silver fire exclusive to Mystra, the goddess of magic. Some Mystra's voters and some people favored by her have the right to use this special power. The other A kind of cursefire is more powerful, and it is also a higher-level cursefire than silver fire. And the talent to be able to control this real cursefire is extremely rare and precious, and only an unspecified few people in each generation can possess it A gift. But it's not the most palpitating—"

"Each Cursefire master is unique, and their identities can be maids, farmers, mercenaries, robbers, or nobles. It is even said that in the entire Faerun, there is only one person who truly masters the power of the Cursefire at a time. And any life that personally kills the controller of the curse fire can inherit part of the power of the curse fire from the slain. Although this kind of legend is nothing but nonsense, there are always some greedy lunatics in this world who would rather believe this The legend is true, and there are many such people.”

"Is what you said true? I don't believe it! I'm not the only one with the blood of fire in this world—" William didn't understand the difference between those who cursed the fire and those with the blood of fire, and the three of them were all The blood of fire, which made William extremely worried about the safety of his "weak" family members.

"I'm not talking about people with the blood of fire." Tabari, who was treating the wound, stopped and said flatly: "The talent of curse fire has little to do with the blood of fire. Bloodline owners accidentally become Cursefire Controllers, but Cursefire Controllers belonging to non-fire bloodlines appear more frequently."

"The power of the cursed fire is so powerful and mysterious. The power of the master of the cursed fire moved even the gods. Mystra, the goddess of magic, mastered the secret of the silver fire, so she became the prey of the gods. But William, You are still just a beginner in the field of spellfire, and you still have a long way to go before you can master the power of spellfire."

"A qualified spellfire controller must be proficient in mystery, prophecy, evocation, darkness, death, etc. all related to magic knowledge. Only in this way can you take the lead when facing these spells. But if you want to Learning and understanding this knowledge will take far more time and effort than you can imagine.”

There was some indescribable seductiveness in Tabari's tone, trying to arouse William's desire for the power of the cursefire: "There are always some undeniable miracles in this world—killing another cursefire master It is the shortcut for a cursefire master to adapt and master the power of the cursefire the fastest. This powerful power is fascinating."

"It's also frightening!" The female arcanist seemed to think of something, and her tone became a little low, "Do you know what this means? The existence of all the curse fire controllers is irreconcilable , just like two ant queens cannot coexist in an ant nest. As a novice, unless you are protected by powerful forces, you will inevitably become the hunting target of other curse fire controllers."

After a pause, Tabari sighed: "The troublesome thing is that in the depths of the Ennook desert where we are, the ruins of the capital of the ancient empire Isto Sefifer - the city of Olem Among them, there is an ancient curse fire master. Once it discovers your existence, it will come to hunt you desperately."

William's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he became extremely ugly. He had the urge to draw out the autumn water knife and slash people: "Since you know this, why are you leading me to Elaine, aren't you cheating?" ?”

Tabari sneered, and said: "I didn't know that you would awaken the talent of Cursed Fire. As far as the blood of fire is concerned, your talent is good enough, but it is insignificant compared to an ancient arcane group." Yes, the only thing that attracts us is that you changed the fate of some people, the fate of people who should have died-the obstacle we planned to remove."

Tabari said so frankly that William almost laughed angrily. He looked at the female Arcanist with a sneer on his face. None of these old things left over from the Netheril era are simple guys.The horrific presence is finally starting to reveal their true purpose, though William doesn't expect that to happen.

At this time, there was a weird smile on the corner of Tabari's mouth, like a slightly naughty elder teasing an ignorant younger generation.She said: "You must be wondering why we didn't kill you—when you hindered our plan."

"The reason is simple, you are a human being, a decent elite. You acted out of honor as a human being, and not to please some god - which is very comforting to us."

William frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean by that."

Tabari did not directly answer William's question, but talked about a seemingly irrelevant topic: "In Faerun, almost every once in a while, there will be some adventurers full of legends. These lucky ones seem to be Received the favor of the goddess of luck, or found an ancient ruin, unearthed ancient treasures and knowledge; or hunted some precious beasts, or found precious mineral veins. They are the goddess of fate. A patron, a role model for adventurers."

Tabari looked at William and said, "This kind of adventure is not rare, it happens almost continuously. Do you think this is an accident or a coincidence?" William listened silently while comforting the strange beast Manticore. Listening to Tabari's narration, she was noncommittal.

"In these rewarding adventure stories, few people will notice that most of the beneficiaries are humans or aliens who are closely related to humans. And adventures without human participation are rarely rewarding. .I’m afraid you have guessed that these are not coincidences, but man-made arrangements—the special arrangements of us human watchmen. As the most powerful and ancient group of human beings, we have seen too much for thousands of years, and we are deeply Understand that the strength of a group is not just supported by one or two strong people or a small group of elites, but more.”

"If a group wants to develop and grow, it must not only have sufficient background and strength, but also have a strong and irreversible pioneering spirit. If the gods want to imprison the thoughts of all things with faith and religion, then we will use the nature of intelligent creatures to give them Fight back. We covertly protect and guide every young man with potential, whether they are righteous or mean, whether they are naturally good or naturally cunning."

William felt a little dry in his throat. It was hard for him to believe that there would be such a far-sighted organization in this world, secretly guiding the progress and development of the entire human race.William couldn't make a clear judgment on this, because his knowledge of this world was still too poor, but instinctively, William believed that Tabari hadn't lied, because the female Arcanist hadn't lied to him in this matter. necessary.
