Arcane Journey

"The dumbest way?"

Brian's words were like a cold wind blowing through Orianna's heart.

She stood there naked, her heart as if torn apart, feeling angry and a little confused.

It took a long time for Orianna to come back to her senses.

She looked deeply at the wizard in front of her, her eyes full of doubt and inquiry.

"Mr. Mage, why do you think so? Do you think our method is the stupidest?"

Orianna tried to ask in a calm tone, but her words revealed a hint of alienation and coldness that could not be concealed.

In her heart, her favorable impression of this wizard had begun to decline sharply.

After all, she had served him wholeheartedly, given everything for him, and was even about to give her body to him completely.

But he was like a sharp sword, piercing her heart.

It would have been fine if he didn't help, but he also made sarcastic remarks to me.

If Orianna didn't know that she was no match for Brian, she would probably not be able to control her emotions at this moment and might have fought him here.

Brian's words were undoubtedly like pouring a bucket of cold water on the raging fire, making the air around him full of tension and conflict.

Brian naturally saw what Orianna was thinking.

He was not surprised at all, after all, he said this on purpose.

Besides, he was telling the truth and was not making a fuss.

"Yes, I think this is the stupidest way." Brian said without showing any weakness: "In my opinion, you have better options, but you choose the most difficult one. Isn't this stupid?"

"Is there a better choice?" Orianna looked at Brian in confusion. Seeing that he looked very confident and didn't seem to be deliberately deceiving her, she relaxed her expression and asked curiously, "Sir, when you said there is a better choice, what exactly do you mean? I would like to hear more about it."

Brian smiled and said, "There is no doubt that no matter how strong you are, you can never be a match for Spider Queen Rose. I am right about that. Based on this alone, I can say that you have made the most foolish choice."

If we follow the normal script, the path taken by the 'dark web' is actually not wrong.

According to the normal plot, Rose fell into sleep in order to ascend to a powerful divine power, which resulted in all the drow priestesses in the material world losing their divine powers.

This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for the group of drow wizards in the ancient city of Orens.

But even so, the 'dark web' plan did not succeed.

The final outcome was that the entire ancient city of Orens was reduced to ruins, and all the people in the "dark web", including the real mastermind behind the scenes, became buried with this oldest city.

This shows that they didn't have any advantage even when Rose was asleep, let alone now.

As Brian traveled to this world and forced the Dark Girl to revive early, it indirectly caused the Spider Queen Rose to give up her plan to become a powerful god. Therefore, Brian said that this choice of the Dark Web was absolutely the stupidest.

After listening to Brian's simple analysis, Orianna was completely silent. It was obvious that he had hit the fatal point.

In fact, the original intention of establishing the 'Dark Web' was because of the great turmoil in the Underdark. The incarnations of the demon lords were wreaking havoc everywhere, and the drow priestesses could not contact the Spider God, and their divine arts were gradually lost, which made them think that the opportunity had come.

But what no one expected was that after a few days, the drow priestesses reconnected with the Spider Goddess, and their divine powers gradually recovered.

Faced with this situation, the 'Dark Web' has been forced into a desperate situation. Its only plan is to take advantage of the turbulent period when the Demon Lord's incarnation is wreaking havoc in the Underdark to seize control of the city of Ancient Orens as quickly as possible.

Even if this plan has only a 10% chance of success, they must carry it out resolutely.

Because they no longer have any choice.

"Mr. Mage said there are other ways. Is that true?"

Thinking of Brian's disdainful words just now, Orianna seemed to see a glimmer of hope that could be touched. Her attitude suddenly changed 360 degrees, and she said expectantly, "I wonder if you can tell me."

Seeing that he had successfully aroused Orianna's interest, Brian was too lazy to keep her in suspense. He said directly, "The solution is very simple. I have found a way out for you. Even if the action against the Spider Queen fails, you can still preserve your strength and avoid being wiped out."

"Sir, you mean for us to leave the city of Ancient Orens, right?" Orianna instantly understood what Brian wanted to express, and the anticipation on her face disappeared almost immediately.

She sighed and said, "We have thought of this method before."

"Sir, you must understand the situation in the Underdark. There are roaming demons everywhere. If you are not careful, you may encounter the incarnation of the demon lord. Except for the city of Ancient Orens, other places in the Underdark are obviously not welcoming us. Even if we find a suitable place, we will have to endure the wrath of the Spider Queen after the turmoil ends."

Orianna said, "Sir, you won't let us hide in the surface world, right? If that's the case, I would have no reason to face the demon lord in the Underdark."

Apparently, for the drow, the surface world is sometimes more dangerous than the demon lords.

"That's right." Brian nodded slightly and said:
"My method is indeed to let you go to the surface, because I can help you find the most suitable safe haven. There, you don't have to worry about the crazy revenge from the Spider Queen. You can break free from the Queen's magic web, survive and develop safely, and eventually become a new race that can be recognized by the surface forces."

Hearing Brian's suggestion, Orianna's lips curled up into a mocking smile.

It was not because she was relieved that Brian had found a suitable refuge, but because the plan he proposed seemed extremely naive in her eyes.

She had expected Brian to come up with some sort of well-thought-out strategy, but instead, his solution was so thoughtless and ridiculous.

Orianna said in her unique sarcastic tone: "Mr. Brian, I seem to understand your intention. Are you planning to make us become a group of moles that can only survive in dark and damp caves? If so, I'm afraid you have no right to laugh at our choice as a foolish act."

She looked directly at Brian, with disdain and questioning gleaming in her eyes.

As she spoke, she increased the intensity of her sarcasm, as if she was questioning an immature child.

The air around them seemed to be infected by her words, filled with a tense and awkward atmosphere. (End of this chapter)
