Arcane Journey

Chapter 215 Earth Elemental Plane

This is the place of buried treasure.

Here is a bulwark against all enemies.

Here is the grave of the greedy.

This is the Elemental Plane of Earth, a solid environment of rock, dirt, and stone.

It is also one of the least visited Inner Planes by travelers.

Because no one can soar like the Elemental Plane of Air, swim like the Elemental Plane of Water, or sail like the Elemental Plane of Fire.

This is a world of solid rock.

The unwary and unprepared traveler who ventures onto the Elemental Plane of Earth finds himself buried alive in this gigantic, solid tomb, and ends up crushed for life.

Their shattered remains leave a warning for any follower foolish enough to come here.

Despite its solid, inflexible nature, the Elemental Plane of Earth has a variety of hardness levels, ranging from relatively soft earth to heavier and more valuable veins of metal.

Streaks of granite, volcanic rock and marble intertwine with brittle crystal, soft chalk powder and grit.

Rough and huge gem mines are sparsely distributed within the plane. These unpolished gems often lure greedy people to this plane, wanting to dig gems with minimal effort.

Those with this purpose often encounter the natives of the Elemental Plane of Earth as enemies, because they feel themselves wholly (and sometimes literally) part of their homeland.

Because of this, the Elemental Plane of Earth is also a place that is hostile to beings from the Material Plane, but not actively hostile like the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Instead, it prefers not to pay attention or care to the dust of life within and around itself.

It is as patient and hard as the earth itself, and has all the time in the universe to wait.

The Elemental Plane of Earth has the following properties:
super gravity.

normal time.

Unlimited size.

variable form.

The earth element dominates.

Enhanced Magic: Spells and spell-like abilities (including those in the earth domain) that use, manipulate, or create earth elementals are enhanced and persistent (as enhanced spells and persistent spells are used, but do not need to occupy high-level spell slots) .The xorn walk spell will therefore double in duration.Spells and spell-like abilities that have been enhanced and persisted are no longer affected by this benefit.

Impeded Magic: Spells and spell-like abilities (including summons of air elementals and outside creatures of the air subtype) that use or create air elementals are impeded, including spells in the air domain.These spells and spell-like abilities can still be used, but must succeed on the spellcasting check.

…………

On the Elemental Plane of Earth, in a wide and dark cave, the solid walls suddenly squirmed like melting wax.

Immediately afterwards, slightly embarrassed figures of Brian and Myrcella appeared from inside the wall.

Behind the two, the wriggling wall returned to its original shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Have you shaken them off?" Brian's face was slightly pale. He reached out and stroked a strand of hair wet with sweat from his forehead to behind his ear, looked at the female lord beside him, and asked.

She is a legendary spellcaster proficient in the school of divination, and is naturally best at evading enemy detection and tracking spells.

"Don't worry, they have been completely thrown away by me, and they will never track us."

Myrcella pondered slightly, opened her beautiful silver-gray eyes, looked at Brian helplessly, and said, "Take a break for now, and then make plans?"

"I think so too." Brian shrugged and smiled, and found a rock to sit on, obviously he really needed to rest.

Taking advantage of the moment of rest, he couldn't help recalling a series of experiences on the Earth Elemental Plane, with a depressed expression on his face involuntarily.

After he and the female lord persuaded the fire djinn lord Amsros Rockslag of the Fire Elemental Plane, they did not immediately rush to the Earth Elemental Plane.

Instead, he rested in the djinn's castle for one night to restore his arcane energy and psionic energy to a saturated state. Then, under the guidance of the djinn, he came to the The Elemental Plane of Earth.

Obviously, this trip to the plane of the earth element was not as smooth as that of the wind and fire elements.

The main reason for this is that when Brian was in the game world, he rarely went to the plane of the earth element, so he was naturally not as familiar with other planes.

In this case, he can only use the summoning spell of the conjuration system to let the Thor stone monster help them find the location of the earth dwarf.

The efficiency shown by this method of trying luck is obviously not as high as imagined.

The dwarf lord the two met for the first time had a violent temper, and if they disagreed, they would be arrested and made slaves.

Originally, they planned to use force to beat him until he surrendered. Who would have thought that one stone would stir up waves.

Even Brian didn't expect that this series of interconnected caves called the 'Seven Labyrinth' turned out to be an alliance of slave traders composed of seven legendary genies.

These genies are not only unified under the jurisdiction of a Khan whose strength is at least high and legendary, but also have hidden mage fortresses and trade outposts.

This is simply a kingdom of earth elements with a sense of order.

In this case, they naturally ran away without hesitation.

After getting rid of the slave traders' pursuit, the two of them stayed as far away from the jurisdiction of the 'Seven Labyrinth' as ​​possible, and only then did the second round of Thor stone monster summoning begin.

Turns out, the second genie scares Brian even more than the first.

"I still can't figure it out." Myrcella interrupted Brian's contemplation. With her arms folded, she gracefully paced back and forth in the cave, her dress rustling.

"The first time we encountered the Ogre Alliance, the strength was not as good as others, so there is nothing wrong with escaping, but the second time we met the Ogre Lord was obviously weak, we can completely surrender it by virtue of our strength, but you Why did you run faster than the first time?"

"Because behind this earth djinn lord stands a powerful god-like backer, an evil prince of earth elements." Brian met her puzzled gaze and said helplessly:
"You have to know, if we accidentally provoke this evil god-like creature, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to go back to the material plane."

Divinity refers to the deity that rules the plane.

Although the gods of Sigil claim that there are no gods at all, the devil cares whether these people are right or not.

Because whether it is a god-like god who does not need belief or a true god whose pillar is faith, they all exist.

As true gods or god-like, even the power of their thumbs (of course, refers to those gods with thumbs) is more powerful than any legendary professional.

Therefore, when mentioning them on the Earth Elemental Plane, Brian naturally had to be cautious, not even daring to say their names.

After all, among the beings of divine power, there has never been a lack of narrow-mindedness.

They can turn a person's internal organs outside and still keep him alive, or they can throw a person into the deepest part of the abyss, but only give him half a map, it's still the wrong kind.

In fact, the power beings are not as concerned with the affairs of the outer planes as they are with the main material world (except for the warriors participating in the bloody battle in the abyss).

But Brann has provoked the evil Prince of Earth Elemental in the Underdark.

Now, when he came to the opponent's territory, he definitely couldn't be too jumpy.

"I've heard that you have provoked some demon lords from the bottomless abyss in the Underdark." Myrcella instantly understood the meaning of Brian's words, she pointed upwards with her hand, and said with a smile: "Obviously, You even offended some existences on the Earth Elemental Plane."

"Exactly." Brian said truthfully, "And it's the kind that never dies."

In Blingdenstone City in the Underdark region, in order to solve the hidden dangers of the subterranean gnomes.

He and Helisite not only expelled the calamity brought down by the prince of the earth element, Oremuk, but also stole a legendary earth element with a quality of five ranks that the opponent spent thousands of years to condense in order to improve his strength. spar.

Under the influence of such deep hatred, he naturally did not dare to take it lightly, let alone deal with his earth dwarf subordinates brazenly.

After all, if you are a little careless, even your own life will be at stake.

Next, they chatted for a while during the break, and Brian ended the conversation.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he must end his trip to the Earth Elemental Plane as soon as possible.

In case the prince of the earth element, Oremoke, had a twitch and went to find out his own existence, it would be a lot of fun.

So, he took out another magic stone used to summon the Thor stone monster, intending to try his luck to see if he could meet any lonely earth elf lord.

"Forget it, let me come this time."

Seeing Brian's actions, the corners of Myrcella's mouth rose slightly, showing a little smile, "It can be seen that your luck is not too bad, just in case, it is the safest way for me to do it myself .”

"Okay." Brian threw the magic stone over without saying anything.

However, when he saw the duchess of Araby City take out a gold coin, he was surprised at first, and then suddenly looked surprised.

It is a gold coin with the face of Timorah, the goddess of fortune, engraved on it, and there are many clover in the surrounding space.

Apparently, this lucky gold coin has been blessed by Goddess Timola, and its role is self-evident.

As for why the female lord was able to obtain this lucky gold coin, it is easy to think of it. After all, the largest temple of the goddess of luck, Timola, was built in the Arab city ruled by her.

Brian saw the female lord gently rubbing the lucky gold coin.

A faint spiritual light emerged, and the gold coin seemed to have unraveled a layer of fog, emitting a strange golden light, and then gradually returned to calm, and was solemnly stored by her.

At the same time, the summoning spell chanted by the female lord echoed in the spacious cave.

Accompanied by a khaki-colored summoning circle of light appearing in front of her, a rust-colored behemoth accepted the summon and appeared in the center of the magic circle that suppressed the light.

On the top of this monster's head is a powerful mouth, three arms with sharp claws, and three large eyes with stone lids that can look in all directions at the same time.

"The Thor stone monster welcomes travelers from the material plane to the elemental plane of earth." The monster's mouth full of fangs opened and closed, and the voice was as stiff as a mechanical voice:

"Believe in the Thor stone monster, give the Thor stone monster gems, the Thor stone monster is your most useful helper, and help you swim the elemental plane."

Noticing that the female lord's gaze was on him, Brian took out a gemstone emitting a khaki-yellow light and threw it into the mouth of the Thor stone monster.

Thor chewed the gem like a jelly bean and swallowed it into his stomach, then burped comfortably, and said contentedly: "Generous material adventurers, do you need any help from Thor? "

"I need to know if there is a lone elf lord nearby." Myrcella said to Thor with a kind smile.

"So that's how it is. The Thor stone monster understands your intentions." The Thor stone monster was stunned for a moment, and then deliberately made a hesitant look, "But..."

Brian instantly realized what it wanted to express, and threw the same gem into the big mouth on top of its head again.

"Oh, Thor remembers, your luck is so good, for Thor... oh, cough! In fact, this is a very difficult thing to do, Thor is risky Taking a very big risk, to assist you to complete the black food... Ahem! To enthusiastically help you complete this pleasant trip, so..."

Brian and the female lord exchanged glances. Seeing her nodding at him, he threw two khaki gemstones into the mouth of the Thor stone monster that had been waiting for a long time.

Thor swallowed it in one gulp, and his face was a little more satisfied and serious.

"In the rock sparrow cave 500 kilometers away from here, the Thor stone monster just saw a dwarf lord who was occupied by his opponent and fled. The Thor stone monster will take you to have a good communication with him."

There is such a coincidence?
Brian looked at the mysterious smile on the corner of the female lord's mouth. He rarely believed in this so-called 'luck', so he had to take it seriously.

"Follow closely, the Thor stone monster will take you to experience the journey of shuttling through rocks."

As soon as the words fell, the Thor rock monster waved its hand and released two khaki rays of light, covering Brian and Myrcella, giving them the ability to shuttle between the rocks.

In fact, even if the Thor stone monster does not use this spell, the two of Brian can still travel in the rocks of the earth elemental plane.

Because in the wizard's spell list, there is a five-ring transformation spell called "Thor Stone Monster Traveling".

Led by the Thor stone monster, they avoided the magma erupting from the ground, the flood flooding in the fissures, the poisonous dust cloud, and more than ten times of earth vein fluctuations, and finally came to a dark cave without any danger.

It can be seen from the countless fist-sized caves on the wall that this is the habitat of a group of earth elemental sparrows.

However, apart from sparrow droppings and bird feathers, there is no sound here.

Apparently, these poor little fellows were probably scared away by the earth djinn lord who broke into this place.

"The task of the Thor stone monster is completed, the Thor stone monster feels the call of other travelers, the Thor stone monster tells..."

Before he could finish speaking, Thor, who was busy with business, was pulled away by the light of the summoning circle that appeared out of thin air and disappeared.

Together with Myrcella, Brian walked cautiously towards the depths of the cave.

In about 10 minutes, they found a spacious cave full of shiny ore at the end of the twisted tunnel extending in all directions.

As the Thor stone monster said, there is indeed an ogre lord with khaki skin and a tattered dark orange robe hiding here.

The lord of the earth dwarf stared at the two uninvited guests with his golden eyes, and looked at the two uninvited guests vigilantly. He greeted them with vicious words:

"It turned out to be two lifeless material guys. Welcome to my territory. Now, I solemnly declare that starting today, you will officially become my slaves, subordinate to the benevolent and powerful Hatton Zanfala Ayer Jinzarain, the king of the mantle abyss, the bishop of the Diamond Cathedral, the protector of the star pyroxene scepter..."

"We don't want to talk nonsense with you." Myrcella took the initiative to take two steps forward, and said to the Ogre Lord in a slightly playful soft voice:
"I need you to go to the material world with us. Now, I will give you two conditions to choose from: first, give you what you want, and second, fight until you surrender."

"Hahaha……"

The dwarf lord was amused by Myrcella's words, and his loud and clear voice was like a boulder rolling down a cliff, shaking the entire cave slightly.

"Arrogant materialist, it seems that you haven't recognized your status yet." He became angry and growled viciously, "If you want to hire me, beat me to surrender!"

Immediately afterwards, Brian suddenly noticed that the female lord beside him had established a super magic link with him.

This is a method developed by super magicians to facilitate the use of their abilities to assist their companions.

In the past few days of getting along with each other, as well as the understanding of the previous life, he has already grasped the depth of this female lord clearly.

Even the few legendary feats she has mastered about super-spellcasters, she guessed a rough idea based on the energy of the burst of augmentation magic she released.

Such as legendary cooperative metamagic, legendary enhanced metamagic, and legendary magic cohesion and so on.

Under such circumstances, as an arcanist who is proficient in the field of creation, he naturally took out his staff without hesitation, and began to launch what he thought was the most violent magic attack on the arrogant earth dwarf lord in the distance.

Accompanied by a series of powerful spells that Brian murmured out of his mouth.

Myrcella on the side also quickly passed the super magic link between the two, amplifying her own super magic expertise one after another into the spell that Bryan was about to release.

In an instant, terrifying energy permeated the entire cave at a dizzying speed, and even the air began to twist at a speed visible to the naked eye.

——"Seven-ring spell: Otiluk's siege ball!"

——"Seven Rings of Spell: Otiluk's Radiant Orb!"

——"Seven Rings Spell: Otiluk's Ice and Fire Double Ball!"

In an instant, the red and blue two-color balls exuding scorching heat and extreme cold, the dense and rapidly increasing adamantine balls, and the brilliant balls bursting out with dazzling colors all accurately hit the earth elemental lord who was caught off guard, bursting out into clusters of gorgeous balls. Magic flame.

The earth wall that the lord of the earth dwarf hastily propped up also collapsed like a tofu project.

"what!!!……"

Suddenly, heart-piercing wailing echoed in the trembling cave.

Otiluk is the authoritative wizard of the School of Evocation, and his writings, spells and spells are widely circulated in all material worlds of the kingdom of heaven.

As a spellcaster of the Evocation School, Brian naturally couldn't avoid collecting all the mysterious knowledge and surviving magic about this legendary wizard.

Seeing the dwarf lord screaming in pain, Brian knew very well the almost hopeless defense and magic resistance of the dwarf whose strength had reached the legendary realm.

——"Mayoufu Micro Meteor!"

——"The Star of Avandor!"

——"Silver Starlight!"

He immediately activated the pre-set trigger spell "Magic Rapid Fire", and drowned hundreds of fist-sized meteors on the burly body of the Ogre Lord, which was wrapped in thick smoke and steam.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Countless meteors were like flying locusts raining bullets, hitting the dwarf almost at the same time.

The terrible impact force and the air waves generated by the explosion instantly made his rock-solid body fly backwards, slammed into the hard wall, and then slid down like a broken doll.

With the burst of arcane energy in this instant, even the female lord, who was assisting in casting spells, couldn't help but cast incredible gazes at Brian.

She flicked her sleeves to block the smoke and dust from the aftermath of the explosion, and a layer of fluctuations arose in her heart. It was unbelievable that this storm-like attack came from a wizard whose strength had not yet set foot in the legendary realm.

——"Seven Rings Spell: Berlant's Rock Cracking Technique!"

Bryan let out a low cry, and directed a dark blue light condensed at the top of the staff to the sluggish Ogre Lord.

This is a magic that most restrains earth elemental creatures. Even the stone golem, which is known for its defensive power, can hardly resist the attack of this spell.

Moreover, the casting material of this spell is a diamond cut into the shape of an awl, which is worth at least 2000 gold coins.

"Stop! Stop! I surrender, I surrender to you! Stop! I'm going to die!!!"

Seemingly feeling the terrible energy and deadly threat emanating from the dark blue light, the lord of the dwarf spirit panicked a lot. He raised his last breath, exhausted all his strength, and begged Brian loudly for mercy.

Seeing this, Brian shifted his staff slightly, and a dark blue ray gushed out, instantly hitting the wall above the Ogre Lord's head.

"Boom!"

A thick and meandering fissure spread to the surroundings at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the earth djinn lord, who was frightened into a cold sweat, was buried in it by the collapsed rubble.
