Arcane Journey

Chapter 158 The Blade of the Plane Walker

The moment Bryan entered the room, he suddenly turned around and went into trouble, activating the "Mind Blast", and pounced on the enemy sitting on the bed.

To his surprise, the figure suppressed by him was soft and plump, without any resistance. This was a feeling he came into contact with.

"Take your dirty hands away!" came a voice full of embarrassment.

"good body."

Brian pinched twice on purpose, then smiled and retracted his hand. After heightening his vigilance, he sat on the bed as if nothing had happened, looked at the other party from the dark sight, and joked:
"Actually, I already guessed that we would meet someday in the future, but I didn't expect it to be in this form. What you gave me was not a sharp dagger, but a soft and delicate woman who could not resist. Body. Do you think we are going to bed like this?"

The enemy in front of him was the Shadow Guard Assassin Krisanna who tried to assassinate him last time.

As always, she was as beautiful as ever.

Long black hair hanging down her shoulders, cold and deep purple eyes, perfectly high cheeks, plump lips, and a black tight-fitting night suit that accentuated her figure even more.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" He asked with a smile, and he was also very happy.

Because seeing Crysanna's appearance, he realized that one of his plans for the City of Shadows had been successfully implemented perfectly.

At the same time, he also guessed the reason why the shadow guard assassin in front of him took the initiative to seek him out.

"I just want to confirm one thing with you." Krisanna gave him a complicated look, and replied with slightly cold words.

"Confirm things?" Brian repeated curiously, and then joked:

"Don't you realize? The way you are now, you crawled into my bed like a she-cat in March, just to confirm with me that you think I will believe it, Miss Tanshul ?”

"Lord of Mokou Town, please respect yourself." Krisanna looked at Brian with icy cold eyes, and threatened coldly:
"If I want, you will die at any time, and you won't even have the chance to enter the room. I came here today without malice, just to confirm one thing, and you should be grateful."

"I'm very grateful."

Brian was amused by her, and said insincerely, "But I don't know what the hell we can talk about. The situation is already clear, Shadow City is my sworn enemy, don't tell me, you came here to join me Celebrate the victory."

After finishing speaking, he changed the subject and said in a slightly cold tone, "So, I'm curious, Miss Tanshul. Excuse me, when you entered the room just now, did you land on your head first, which made you feel so confident?" I think that I can freely come and go in my territory."

As a cautious spellcaster, it was inevitable that many magic circles would be arranged in his room.

If he wanted, he could activate the magic circle at any time to control the opponent, and then teleport all his subordinates over.

Even if the legendary powerhouses come here, they can't get any cheap.

In Brian's view, the seemingly confident shadow guard assassin in front of him is more like a fish caught in the net automatically.

Of course, as the so-called fat fish hides hooks, he will not let down his vigilance because of this.

"That's it."

Under Brian's vigilant gaze, Krisanna waved her hand unhurriedly across the void.

With her light swipe, a crack seemed to be cut in the void.

A dagger with a spiral hilt and a tapered pointed serrated blade on the broad side of the blade, exuding the breath of energy from another world, quietly suspended in mid-air, and she held it lightly in her hand.

The blade of the walker in another dimension!
Seeing this ancient weapon, Brian, who was sure of his chances of winning, was slightly shocked and unbelievable in his expression.

During the time of the Netheril Empire, a young arcanist, Arnoldroth, was accused of being too autistic and disobedient because he was often absent from the council of the floating city, and even planned to expel him.

This young Arcanist fully realized that the Grand Arcanist who ruled the Floating City had already been swallowed up by ambitions full of power, so he himself did not want to join forces with the Floating City Council.

However, the benefits of becoming a member of the Floating City make Arnoldroth irresistible, because it can gain the right to enter the magic library guarded by vigilant shadow mastiffs and equipped with countless magic prohibitions.

For the Arcanist, he neither wants to join the Council of the Floating City, but also wants to obtain the right to enter the magic library, so he uses the knowledge of the plane mechanism in the scroll of Nether to travel to many planes and study the characteristics of space .

Finally, before the fall of the floating city, he created a weapon with the possibility of surpassing his own power: the blade of the walker in another dimension.

It is a pity that before the arcanist named Arnoldroth showed its power, the floating city fell, and the dagger was buried with the arcanist, and at the moment when the magic net collapsed, it accidentally absorbed the arcane power. Master's ability, obtained the ancient power enough to tear the space.

The most powerful ability of this ancient weapon is its accompanying space cutting feature.

This ability, which can only be released once a day, can cut through all kinds of spells and circles that restrict transmission, such as interdimensional blockades, dimensional anchors, and dimensional locks.

In other words, when you have this dagger, you can be almost invincible if the enemy is not fully prepared.

It is an ancient weapon with the most powerful escape ability.

Of course, its different-dimensional cutting characteristics also have a good restraint ability in the face of various restrictions and magic circles in the mage tower.

Brian didn't expect that Krisanna would have this weapon, so that the magic circle he arranged could easily break through the surrounding restrictions without even activating the "space cutting" feature.

In his impression, this ancient weapon should be mastered by the ghost prince De Sude.

Back then, when the Princes of Shadow besieged the most powerful mortal spellcaster in the continent, the Goddess of Magic, Chosen Elminster, and his mage tower.

With the help of this weapon, Prince of Shadow Dessoud broke through all the protective restrictions of the mage tower under circumstances that Elminster did not expect. It can be said that it played a role in deciding the outcome of the entire battle. .

After all, with little difference in strength, a wizard hiding in the mage tower can remain invincible even if he faces an enemy several times his own.

The biggest reason why Bryan instigated Dessoud's rebellion was because he was afraid of his ancient weapon.

But what he didn't expect was that De Sud would give it to his daughter Krisanna.

Although the two are father and daughter, in the cold and strict system of the City of Shadows, there is no family relationship at all.

Especially the twelve ghost princes and the supreme king. Driven by the desire for power for dozens of centuries, they have already wiped out the few remaining family ties.

As long as conditions permit, the eldest prince Ruivalan of the City of Shadows will even backstab High King Telamante without hesitation, and stage a filial piety between father and son.

Otherwise, when Brian killed Natasha, De Sud might have hung him up and hammered him, instead of being indifferent and choosing to run away under his deliberate guidance.

As for the relationship between Krisanna and Natasha, it is not worth mentioning.

In the game world, Natasha, who was not killed by him, displayed the art of backstabbing on her sister in various ways.

Therefore, when he saw De Sude give this dagger to Krisanna, Brian's jaw almost dropped in shock.

Of course, he didn't show it.

"It seems that you know it, so that saves me the trouble of doing it."

Looking at Brian's calm expression, Krisanna could feel that the other party recognized the characteristics of the equipment, and she continued to say in a cold and unquestionable tone:
"Then, let's have a good talk now. As long as you answer my question, I can guarantee that I won't do anything to you."
.
After listening to the other party's words, Brian's expression didn't change, but his brain was running fast.

In fact, the blade of a walker in another dimension is most suitable for occupations such as rogues, such as shadow dancers, tricksters, ghost dancers, shadow guard assassins, and so on.

If the assassin with this dagger is talented enough and strong enough, he can even sneak into the mage tower of the wizard and assassinate him silently.

Brian naturally didn't want himself to be targeted by such an assassin, and lived in fear every day.

But this does not mean that he will succumb to this ancient weapon that restrains him.

He thought for a moment, looked directly at Krisanna's deep purple pupils, and said to her, "I can answer your question, but to be fair, you also need to answer a few questions from me."

"No problem." Crysanna nodded slightly, and added: "The premise of all this is: except for any information about the City of Shadows."

"It seems that you don't look like the kind of woman with big breasts and no brains." Brian chuckled, ignoring the sullen eyes of the other party, and continued:

"If this is the case, then I will change my conditions. You don't need to answer any questions about the City of Shadows, but I will use guesswork to ask you for confirmation, and you only need to nod or shake your head. That's it. Is there a question, Miss Tanshul?"

Crysania frowned at Brian, showing a hint of confusion.

"For example" Brian gave her a playful look, "I guess that when you sleep every day, you will hug a big bear that has been stabilized by a normal temperature spell, and you only need to answer whether my guess is right or not, it's as simple as that , is it hard to understand?"

"You nonsense! There's no such thing at all!" Krisanna's face changed, she looked at Brian from embarrassment, and her cold voice became a little hoarse with anger.

"No, no, no, what's the excitement, I thought it was real." Brian suddenly found that it was very interesting to tease a woman with this personality.

"So, do you understand what I mean?" he asked nonchalantly.

"No problem, I promise you." Crysanna sighed in relief, calmed down and nodded.

"I only ask four questions." Brian put away his playful look, calmed down, and said to her, "Did High King Telamante leave the City of Shadows, claiming to meet his old friend?"

The so-called old friend is the great arcanist who survived the transformation of the Lich during the period of Netheril. According to the information in the game, Brian learned that Shar, the Lost Lady, wanted the Shadow Demon Net to completely replace the Magic Net. Is well prepared.

Even the High King Telamante, at some cost, dragged another great arcanist, the lich Larocle, into the water and personally participated in this battle.

"The High King has indeed left, and he also claimed to go to see his old friend." There was a look of surprise in Krisanna's beautiful eyes, and she said to Brian, "As for what friend to see, I have no right to know."

"It's okay, I didn't intend to ask."

Seeing that the other party still had such an upright side, Brian couldn't help laughing, and then asked two questions in succession, "Did the Felin Demon Sunflower infiltrate the interior of the City of Shades, and whether the person in charge of investigating the Felin Demon Sunflower is the Hand of the High King?" Haj Horner."

Since the demise of the Arcane Empire, the Felin Sorrels have been imprisoned under the sand and dust of the Ennook Desert. They are constantly honing their magic skills and looking for a way to break out of the confinement.

However, with the return of the City of Shadows, the Forbidden Wall of Sharon set up by the Sharon spirits was damaged to a certain extent, so that many Felin Mokui escaped.

These phaerims kill the casters of the City of Shade, disguise themselves as them, and try to find a way to break the forbidden wall.

If Bryan confirms this, there will be a period of peace in his domain.

At this time, he can use this little time to build and strengthen his wizard tower as soon as possible.

When Krisanna heard this, she was shocked, and looked at Brian in disbelief, as if she wanted to know how he deduced it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't answer, after all, your eyes have already told me." Seeing that Krisanna was silent, Brian said nonchalantly, "Let me ask you one more simple question, have I already caused something?" Attention Shadow Prince Brenners."

Shadow Prince Brennus Tanshul.

The youngest prince in the City of Shadows, the prince with the highest arcane talent, and the prince who is most favored by the High King.

What moved Brian the most was that the High King and the twelve Shadow Princes, including the Hand of the High King, among the top forces in the City of Shadows, only the little prince Braines will "rebuild the glory of the Arcane Empire, I Generation duty! ’ This line, on display, belongs to a prince whom Bryan greatly admires.

Moreover, the other party's profession is still a file scholar, a legendary spellcaster with both Sinnoh and God.

Unfortunately, his final fate was not very good.

While exploring the ancient city of Sarukh, one of the three creator races, he accidentally triggered the remaining self-destruct prohibition in the ruins and died.

A pair of constructed creatures that often surrounded him were sent away by him before he died, and finally were taken in by the High King Telamante to show his last tenderness to his most spoiled young son.

The reason why he asked this question was mainly because he guessed that the battle yesterday was likely to be watched by Haj Horna's opponents, so he was curious whether the little prince was one of the melon eaters.

If so, he is likely to have doubts about his spellcasting method, and with Breners' exuberant curiosity, he will definitely find ways to get close to him.

Of course, Brenas only cared about how to reproduce the glory of the Arcane Empire from the beginning to the end. As for the conspiracy of the Lost Lady Shar, the expansion of the City of Shadows, and even their enemies, he never asked.

Because of this, Bryan believes that Braines is the easiest ally to win over among the Shadow City forces, even easier than winning over De Sud.

"I'm not sure." Chrisanna looked at Bryan suspiciously, recalling her father's evaluation of him, she added: "However, I heard from my father that Prince Braines commented on yesterday's battle, And put Haj Horner's words to nothing."

Hearing this, Brian nodded slightly.

He understood the prince's character, and like High King Terramante, Braines was also a man who liked to hide his true thoughts and feelings.

From his behavior of criticizing Haj Horner, it can be seen that he may have become the object of attention of the other party.

In this case, he needs to make more preparations.

"I've finished asking my questions. Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Tanshul." Brian smiled and said in a sincere tone, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

In fact, even he himself did not expect that the whole process went so smoothly.

This shadow guard assassin from the City of Shadows, faced with the question he asked, he did not prevaricate or conceal it as he imagined, on the contrary, he cooperated very well.

This made him faintly feel that the disruptor of himself, the reborn person, had deflected something.

Otherwise, with De Sude's personality, he would not have given his daughter such a precious ancient weapon as the Walker's Blade from another dimension.

"I want to know what exactly you said to my father."

Krissanna was silent for a long time, as if recalling something, a trace of sadness flashed in her deep purple beautiful eyes, she sighed softly, "He left behind everything in Floating Void City, even his nearly thousand years All the effort, all by himself, disappeared and he was like a different person."

Is it so exaggerated?

Bryan frowned subconsciously when he heard the words, vaguely realizing that the ghost prince might have really seen some kind of "dream" in front of the Karthus statue in the violent forest.

In this case, it is necessary for him to go there himself.

However, now is not the time, at least he has to wait until his strength reaches the legendary realm to be eligible.

"I just told him the truth of some facts."

Brian organized his own language and said to her, "If my predictions are correct, your father should have gone to Halrua, the magic kingdom in the southernmost part of the mainland, just to pursue the truth about arcane arts."

"Magic Kingdom Harua." Krisanna repeated in a low voice, obviously she also knew the true origin of this kingdom.

"In fact, I am a spellcaster from Halrua." Bryan said to her, "If you really look into it, we are actually descendants of the Netheril Empire."

After speaking, he stretched out his finger, and he cast a simple blood resonance spell on the two of them.

Although the other party has already been transformed into a ghost man, the blood from humans is still retained.

And the reason why he chose to confess was mainly to leave a good impression on the other party.

Otherwise, it would be a headache if this Shadow Guard Assassin holding the Walker's Blade from another dimension was suddenly indulged one day to clean his wizard tower together.

"I see."

Sensing the familiar breath from the blood, the coldness in Krissanna's purple pupils disappeared and became much softer. She stared at Brian and asked softly, "So, your purpose is also for the Ennook Desert .”

"Well, if you think so, then so be it." Brian shrugged with a smile, "Of course, compared to your Shadow City, it's still far behind, so don't take it seriously."

"Thank you for letting me know." Krisanna looked at Brian with the most serious eyes and said, "Farewell."

"See you by fate." Brian waved his hand and heaved a sigh of relief as he watched her disappear in place.

He obviously did not expect such extreme actions by De Sude.

Fortunately, he was relieved that everything was developing for the better.

With De Sud, a wise and legendary spellcaster, helping him lead the battle, it will be much easier for him when he goes to the Halrua Kingdom and joins the Council of Elders.

Then, he stopped thinking about it, thinking about how to meet the female lord of Araby City tomorrow.
