Arcane Journey

Chapter 162 The Price of Beauty
Her room is warm and bright, the walls are painted pale pink, and there are fresh oil paintings hanging on them.

Golden stars glittered around the window frame, and tulle curtains obscured the view from the window.

The small single bed is next to the window, covered with a thick elk-patterned blanket, and a few cushions embroidered with owl portraits are randomly placed on the bed.

The ground beside the bed is covered with a beige plush carpet, beside it are a small dressing table and dressing chair, and a white tall wardrobe.

"How did your sister disappear?" Brian carefully observed every item in the room, and asked Lando who brought him in.

When he subdued Graal and others, he had promised them that he would rescue his daughter who was trapped in a secret place in a magic book.

Now that everything has been settled, it is time for him to fulfill his promise.

"It's a book, my lord." Lando said to him:

"I remember very clearly that day, my sister Sissy was in a bad mood because she failed to build a spell model, so I took her to the market for a walk, and accidentally she saw a book called "The Beauty of Beauty" Price" book, and then bought it."

"Why did she buy this book?" Brian sat on the dressing chair, and couldn't help but raise a little interest.

He is quite familiar with this girl, Sissy.

She appeared in the eyes of the players after four years in the game world. She is a student of the Grand Duchess Raul and the most talented spellcaster in the Mage Tower.

Mainly responsible for managing the internal affairs of the mage tower, as a spellcaster, Brian naturally had to come into contact with this girl.

After Arabe City and the Mage Tower and the Shaman's Floating City were destroyed together, this young girl gathered the remaining forces and survivors after the war, inherited Myrcella's will, and with her thin shoulders, she alone resisted the reconstruction The responsibility of the Kingdom of Cormyr and the city of Araby.

It is said that she successfully broke through to the Legendary Realm in the end, and gradually completed the rebuilding of Araby City.

What exactly it looks like, Brian is not quite sure.

Because of the mutual destruction of Araby City and Myrcella, he left the Kingdom of Cormyr in dejection, and chose to develop Silvermoon City in the North, which is a distance away from the Ennook Desert.

In the end, in the development of Silvermoon City, he was stuck for nearly two years, and his stagnant strength finally succeeded in breaking through to the legendary realm.

"Sissy said that this book can enlighten her, make her feel better, and help her learn to think about herself and find her self-worth." Recalling the situation at that time, Lando said truthfully to Brian:

"That night, I could see very clearly that Sissy had returned to her room, but she disappeared without a trace the next day. We sent the best ranger, but we couldn't find her. It was Mage Ru Yin. I noticed the teleportation magic aura left in the room."

"Well, I see." Brian nodded slightly, and said to him, "I already know the general solution, now give me that book to study."

Lando immediately handed a book he had prepared to Brian.

The book's binding is made of green leather, 7 inches wide and 13 inches high, with gold buttons.

On the cover is a clean oval mirror, its golden frame shaped like a strand of hair, as if hanging from the face of the person in the mirror.

Sensing the very distinct scent of lilies emanating from the book, Brian flipped through it to check.

He saw many beautiful illustrations of woodlands, artwork and jewelry in the book.

In beautiful handwriting next to the illustrations are brief prayers and forms of meditation dedicated to self-worth, the arts of massage and healing, and recipes for creating balms and cosmetics, with a message from author Lirian Silversong on the final page: "The mirror is the gateway to happiness, authenticity, and acceptance of yourself."

Lirian Silversong?
"Why did you get involved with her again?" Brian said to himself in confusion.

The Silver Song family is well-known in the Supreme Forest, and they are distantly related to the Queen of Evermeet Island. The male members are all sword mages and swordsingers who practice both magic and martial arts, while the females specialize in magic.

The Severil who was turned into a bear and Saris, the servant of Grazte that Brian met before, were the youngest daughter and youngest son of the family.

And Li Ryan was the eldest daughter of the Silver Song family. In Brian's impression, this golden elf mage was obsessed with books and studying magic, and finally died in the assassination of her sister.

"It seems that before I went to Silvermoon City, the eldest daughter of the Silver Song family might be in a rebellious period just like her younger brother." Brian thought to himself.

"You go out first."

He thought for a while and said to Lando, "Tell your father and Ballerius that I may be away for about half a month, and let them proceed with everything according to the plan I made."

Lando hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't ask, and closed the door while exiting.

Brian stopped thinking about it and began to study the book.

He looked into the mirror on the cover of the book, and found that there was no reflection of himself.

Just when he was puzzled by this, a magical aura floated across the mirror, and a human woman with flawless beauty appeared.

She was naked save for a sheer silk nightgown and impossibly long, curly red curls in the shape of flames.

Although her hair color is always red, Bryan can clearly feel that her appearance will change over time.

"Well, dear, how do you feel today?" At this moment, the human woman with bumps and bumps in the mirror smiled slightly and said to him in a gentle voice.

"Trigger mandatory will saving throw!"

"Will saving throw in progress."

"The will save was successful!"

"You successfully saved the spell effect of "Charm Human"! "

…………

Seeing the system prompt, Brian was not surprised.

Because of the book "The Price of Beauty", when he was in the game world, he had heard people mention it, and knew that the black hands behind the scenes were three hags.

Otherwise, he would not be so confident in his promise to save Graal's daughter.

At the same time, soft words came from the mirror again:
"If you need relaxation, rest, or a change, then follow the Lily Path, dear ones. I'm sure Lirian will meet your every need."

Then, the mirror begins to glow softly, and a portal 5 feet wide by 7 feet high appears in an unoccupied space on the ground.

Bryan saw that the portal led to an old woodland path with pillars carved with lilies.

After seeing that the location of this place was indeed the Moon Forest next to Silvermoon City, he no longer hesitated, and directly stepped into the disappearing portal.
