Arcane Journey

Chapter 207: Fei Lin Demon Kwai
In the Ernook Desert, somewhere in the depths of an ancient underground ruin.

Stretching across the void, the silver-white magic light curtain that seemed to extend from the material world to the endless plane suddenly became flickering and flickering.

When the silver-white light suddenly dimmed, a huge crack appeared on the light curtain, the cold wind howled, and black shadows flashed out from time to time.

Until the light curtain suddenly erupted with terrible energy, the flickering black shadow stopped its voice in an unwilling roar, as if its neck had been cut off suddenly.

"Hiss...I didn't expect it, I, Tukat, will have a day out of trouble... Hiss..."

"I, Tukalai, are back!"

"It's as if Lao Tzu Kahn didn't come back... Hiss..."

Accompanied by the whistling of the strange wind, three hideous figures emerged from the tumbling black air.

Bursts of magical auras lit up, and the hideous figure revealed its original appearance.

They have a thick root body with a big head and a small tail, like a trumpet with an upward opening. The disc-shaped head is inlaid with a chrysanthemum-shaped stomach pouch full of sharp teeth. The disc-shaped head is surrounded by four curved roots. Its arm, with the tip of the tail protruding out, is a sharp and deadly spike.

"Three Mokui elders?"

Hajhorner, the Hand of the High King, covered in a black robe, stood on the spot with a black staff, watching everything coldly.

From time to time, his thumb rubbed back and forth on the staff, and a trace of dark black energy overflowed from the crack at the top of the staff, covering his whole body into a cloud of black mist.

From the three huge black shadows cast down from the Sharon Forbidden Wall that sealed the Felin Mokui, and the distorted body of the Feilin Mokui, he even smelled a coercion higher than his own strength.

It was a danger that only High King Telamant Tanshur could perceive.

In other words, he released three Mokui elders, and one of them has reached the level of a high-level legend!

Elder magic sunflowers are old age magic sunflowers. Their bodies are at least 20 feet tall. Even if they don't study or study, they can naturally have the magician ability above the legendary field.

And one of the three phaerims that appeared in front of his eyes was a full 30 feet tall, which already belonged to the example of a high legend.

"Tukat, Tukaen, and Tukalai? Before the Netheril Empire was destroyed, I seemed to have heard of these three names." Hajhorna muttered to himself, his cold expression changing.

Netherese calendar 427DR, the year of the storm.

Felin Mokui's spells knocked down the floating city Lauda Tiss and Tilan Drossel, and other floating cities set up spell barriers to resist this attack.

Hajhorna recalled that during the Netheril Empire, the two floating cities that were first shot down by Felin Mokui were from the three Felin Mokui elders in front of him.

"Remnants of Netheril!"

One of the largest Mokui elders, Tukat, used his own will to capture Hajhorner, and taunted him with a fluctuating cold tone: "Since I, Tukat, have returned, this land should be owned by our Mokui." Ruler of the clan!"

"It seems that you haven't recognized your status yet." Hajhorner's mouth curled into a cold smile.

"boom!"

His staff suddenly smashed towards the ground, casting the space blocking spell prepared in advance.

Suddenly, the entire underground relic space seemed to stagnate for a moment, and an invisible ripple like a ripple floated across the void.

"Don't forget what you promised me." Hajhorner looked at the panicked Mokui, who was shaking his head and tail, hissing and roaring, and threatened coldly: "If I can release you, I will naturally be able to detain you again. , or even kill them on the spot.”

Although one of the three Mokui elders is a high-level legend, and the other two are at least a medium-level legend, they have been sealed by the Sharon spirit for thousands of years, and have lost the magical energy they depend on for survival, and their strength has declined severely , In front of him, there is no way to overturn any storm.

In fact, the appearance of Felin Mokui has long been highly valued by the High King.

After all, the Netheril Empire and the Mokui family are mortal enemies without any room for relaxation. The first major event planned by the City of Shadows when it returns to the main material world is to completely eliminate the Mokui and avenge the ruined empire.

Other plans, such as restoring the territory of the former empire, governing the desert, and even dealing with surrounding enemies, all came last.

The fundamental reason why he took such a big risk to release the Elder Mokui in the Legendary Domain was that he was secretly instructed by the Supreme King Telamante.

Because when they learned that there was a crack in the Sharon Forbidden Wall that sealed the Felin Mokui, so that a few weaker Felim Mokui escaped, they realized that this Sharon Forbidden Wall that is difficult to repair permanently is very likely Over time, the cracks grew larger and larger, eventually freeing all the phaerims and threatening the Empire's borders again.

High King Telamante thought of a once-for-all solution.

That is to find a way to enter the interior of the Forbidden Wall of Sharon, and find the memory tower that Felin Mokui regards as a holy place and tomb, and also calls it the "brother's nest".

Only by finding and destroying the Memory Tower can the Felin Mokui be completely wiped out.

Because the memory tower is similar to the source of power that Felin's magic sunflower absorbs life and magic, it is as important as the wizard's dependence on the magic net.

The Felin Mokui without the memory tower is the same as the caster who lost the magic net.

However, how difficult it is to enter the interior of the Forbidden Wall of Sharon, and it is even more difficult to destroy the sealed Felin Mokui and the memory tower in that area of ​​dead demons where spells cannot be cast.

Therefore, the Supreme King Telamante asked him to secretly release three powerful Mokui elders while temporarily repairing the Forbidden Wall of Saron.

These three Mokui elders will definitely try their best to break the Sharon Forbidden Wall, help their clansmen get out of trouble, and fulfill their ambition of ruling the world.

In this case, they can secretly observe their every move through the imprint left in the body of the Elder Mokui, find a way to enter the Forbidden Wall of Sharon, and find the memory tower that they regard as the 'brother's nest'.

"Do you understand what I said, you bastards!" Hajhorna sneered at the three Mokui elders.

"you are vicious!"

Mokui Elder Tukat sent vicious waves to him, "During the peak of the Netherese Empire, none of you were our opponents, let alone a group of bereaved dogs lingering on their last legs. You will regret the decision you made today for the rest of your life!" "

"I look forward to that day."

Hajhorner's words were as cold as ice, "I also hope that you can stand up, but now, you bastards have been restricted by me, so you must obey my orders. Get out! I don't want to see your long hair A head as big as a chrysanthemum dangles in front of me."

As soon as the words fell, he swung his staff violently, and the three magic sunflower elders were screaming, and were forcibly expelled by the energy vortex generated by the teleportation spell.

Hajhorner quickly chanted a spell and disappeared in place.

In the Enook Desert where the sand is flying wildly, in a dark corner deep in an underground ruin.

"what should we do?"

Mokui Elder Tukaen said to Tukat, "Our bodies are restricted by these damned descendants of Netheril. If we want to survive, we can only follow their instructions."

"What else can we do? The most important thing now is to absorb magic power and restore our strength." Mokui Elder Tukat swung his sharp tail and sneered, "They thought they could completely control us by setting up a ban. It's too naive."

"That's right, as long as our strength returns to its peak state, and we find a way to reopen the Sharon Forbidden Wall and return to the brood, these so-called restrictions will be broken by themselves," said Tukalai, another elder of the Mokui.

"Then how can we quickly recover our strength now?"

"I have just observed the entire territory of Cormyr Kingdom through magic."

The leader of the Mokui Elder Tukat said: "Although I am disgusted with being temporarily controlled by the descendants of Netheril, I have to admit that assisting this group of bereaved dogs against the Kingdom of Cormyr is indeed the fastest way for us to restore our strength right now. "

He calmly analyzed the two Mokui elders, "In the Kingdom of Cormyr, there are two mage towers with the highest levels. You two respectively transformed into human forms and lurked under the mage towers in Araby City and Suzar City. In the depths, while absorbing the magical energy of the mage tower, inject your own eggs into the civilians, multiplying our offspring and strengthening our power."

"how about you?"

"Me?" Elder Mokui sneered and said:

"Of course I'm going to Mokou Town. Although the mage's tower there has not yet formed, deep in the ground of this town, it is the place where the leyline energy of the entire Ennook Desert gathers. Just give me half a year, My strength will be able to return to its peak state, and then I will find a way to escape the detection of the Nethers, re-enter the Sharon Forbidden Wall, and go to our 'brother's nest' to find a way to lift the restriction."

"Ignorant Netherese."

A flash of magic flashed, and Tukat, the elder of Mokui, transformed into an old-faced mage in black robe.

"They don't really think that we have been imprisoned by the Sharon spirit for thousands of years, and we are just sleeping. In fact, we are thinking about how to break through the forbidden wall all the time, and we have also thought of many ways to break through the forbidden wall. What is lacking is how to obtain the materials used to break through the forbidden wall in the material world, and now our chance has come!"

City of Shadows Sultanza.

Hajhorna entered a deep secret passage from his mage tower.

At the end of the secret passage is a small laboratory. Apart from odds and ends, the most conspicuous thing is an obsidian platform with a network of purple crystal balls arranged on it.

The platform is very simple, full of traces of time, carved with complicated magic patterns.

At this time, the master of the mage tower, his right palm was close to the crystal ball, and the purple energy visible to the naked eye was pouring in from Hajhorner's left arm.

For a moment, the network-shaped purple crystal ball glowed, and a voice mixed with anger came, "Haj Horner, you still know how to contact me."

"Hello, Your Excellency Severin, the 'Dragon Whisperer' of Dragon Worship Cult." Hajhorner heard the unkindness in the other party's words, and greeted him symbolically.

"I'm not good at all."

The communication stone flickered, "Although we are not allies, but it is too low for you people from the City of Shadows to play backstabs on your partners."

Hajhorner was slightly taken aback, obviously he didn't know the whole story.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." He suppressed his anger and said calmly.

In fact, he was also full of anger in his heart.

At the beginning, when the army of Ghost City fought against Mokou Town, the two support armies promised by the Dragon Cult ended up with only one dracolich.

The mature black dragon and lizardman army that could decide the outcome did not appear from the swamp in the far sea, causing him to completely lose the ability to turn the tide of the battle.

"Your little Prince Brenas of the City of Shadows not only killed my dracolich, but also captured the treasure I had planned for a long time." The messenger stone took a deep breath, "This is how your City of Shadows treats guests .”

"I don't know anything about it."

Hajhorner was slightly taken aback, and said slowly, "Besides, the little prince Brenners is an archivist, and exploring ruins is his hobby, and I have no right to order him."

"So I deserve to be unlucky, right?"

"That's not what I meant." Haj Horner tried to reassure him, "I just wanted to say it was a misunderstanding."

"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it." He added: "We can discuss it."

With the help of the three Mokui elders, he has full confidence in taking down the entire Kingdom of Cormyr.

But after the lesson of underestimating the enemy last time, he knew that he had to be cautious and try to win as many allies as possible.

Relying on the magic of Elder Possessed Sunflower, he can take down the mage tower in Araby City together with Severin of the Dragon Sect.

As for Mokou Town, he didn't pay attention at all.

Although he has learned that the mage lord is building his own wizard tower, it is not a threat at all to him.

As long as he solves the female lord of Araby City, the other party's fate is at his mercy.

"I know what you want me to do for you." The communication stone flickered again.

"It's nothing more than asking me to use the dragon controlled by the dragon mad lock to help you deal with the Kingdom of Cormyr. I can help you with this, and even invite friends from the Red Robe Wizards to help you take down Cormyr together, but I'm curious, what conditions can you propose that will make my heart beat."

"Also..." The communication stone obviously hesitated for a while, and finally said: "I need to warn you, I witnessed the whole process of building the Wizard Tower in Mokou Town."

"So what?"

Hajhorner said disdainfully, "Although this mage lord has a close relationship with the Lord Silvermoon of the Northland, as long as the Lord Silvermoon dares to leave the Northland. Believe me, the Ghost Prince in charge of the Northland will definitely be happy to pull the goblin Let's dance the hula together."

Among the twelve ghost princes, there is no existence that he fears more than Melagant, and at the same time, there is no shadow guard assassin more despicable and shameless than Corale Bonas.

"As expected, the ignorant are fearless." A mocking smile appeared from the light of the communication stone.

"You descendants of Nether who are hiding in the shadow plane don't even know that when the Mystic Barrier of Silvermoon City was first built, the God of Earth Element also sent a prince under his command to gather the leyline nodes for this city. , do you know what that means? Don't tell me, you still don't know."

Hajhorner was silent for a long time, and said to the communication stone in a slightly dignified tone, "I understand, I will re-examine and observe the changes in the Wizard Tower in Mokou Town."

"Since you are so frank, then I will state my conditions directly." He thought for a moment, and then said:
"In the highest glacier melted by the High King, there is a mountain range of the Novella Dragon, where a lost elf city is hidden. 25000 years ago, the original dragon madness was created by the elves of this city. From then on, the elves cooperated with the king-killing star that appeared to launch the mythos, causing all giant dragons, including many ancient dragons, to fall into unconscious destruction and destruction, and killed each other, and finally the elven civilization reached its peak in the world of Toril."

"As long as you are willing to help me win the Kingdom of Cormyr, I will go with you to this lost elf city to find the original secret of Dragon Madness."

There was a long silence from the messenger stone.

Hajhorner waited patiently for his answer, knowing that the other party would never reject him.

"I promise to help you deal with Cormyr." The communication stone shimmered.

"But I need to change the conditions. I am willing to do my best to help you deal with the Kingdom of Cormyr. No matter what the final result is, or whether you can win it or not, you need to lead me to find the lost city."

"Are you worried that I will fail?" Haj Horner sneered.

"I just left a note for myself to back off, after all..." Before he finished speaking, the light of the communication stone dimmed, obviously he did it on purpose.

"can!"

Hajhorner said calmly, "However, I also need to change the conditions. Before going to the highest glacier, I need you to go to Myth Drannor with me."

He has never forgotten that in the ruins of this elven city, there is a very likely hidden Nether scroll.

"Deal!" The communication stone flickered again.

"In three months, my Dragon Madness will be completed. At that time, I will sign a cooperation contract with you and send a giant dragon to assist you in launching a full-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Cormyr."

"Stop trying to find out where I am, after all my patience is limited."

As soon as the words fell, the purple crystal ball suddenly burst, and the sound resounded throughout the laboratory.

Hajhorner let out a cry of pain, and looked at his bloody palm pierced by the fragments, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
