Arcane Journey

"Mr. Brian, please don't get me wrong."

The voice of the Chief Wizard interrupted the silence around him. He gradually withdrew his thoughts, and his eyes returned to calmness from deep contemplation, and finally became as cold and ruthless as ice in winter.

His tone also cooled, as if even his words were affected by the cold air around him.

The archmage slowly raised his head. He sat on the tall mage chair and seemed to be listening quietly to Brian's words.

However, every movement he made revealed unparalleled majesty, as if he was a towering mountain standing above the clouds, looking down at everything around him.

Although his eyes were calm, they contained endless wisdom and power, making people dare not look directly at them.

A cold and ruthless voice came from the silent mage tower and echoed in the air.

The sound was like the north wind in the cold winter, harsh and sharp, striking directly into the heart.

As the sound spread, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen, and even the magical elements around the wizard tower fell silent.

"Whether I mention it or not is my business, and whether I do it or not is your business. There is no relationship between us. After all, behind any gift from fate, there is a price tag in secret."

After that, the chief wizard took out an ancient book with a hexagram array printed on the cover and said to Brian, "This book records everything about the huge chaotic array in the Underdark in detail."

After handing the book to Brian, he paused for a moment, looked at him meaningfully, then retracted his gaze and said in a contemptuous tone, "By the way, please tell Vizlan that just as I was able to drive him out of Ancient Orens City, I can also find a way to make him never stand up again."

As he spoke, the great wizard exuded a strong sense of confidence and strength, as if he had already taken control of everything.

His eyes were deep and sharp, as if they could penetrate the distance of space and convey directly to Vizlan in the distance.

"I will convey your words to him seriously." Brian took the book and promised him.

As for the love, hate and vengeance between the two, it was not his concern.

After saying that, Brian took one last look at the Chief Wizard, sighed softly in his heart, turned around and left, never looking back.

Leaving the wizard tower shining with mysterious magical light, Brian stepped into a dark and silent cave.

This huge cave seemed like a huge cage, which made people feel depressed. It contained the roars and growls of countless monsters.

Brian couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty and ruthlessness of the underworld in the main material world, which was like a desolate and deep hell.

At this moment, he was in an abyss, surrounded by thick stone walls, as if isolated from the world.

In this dark cave, the drow elves stand out.

They seem to be a group of people abandoned by fate, imprisoned in this dark place, and their isolated state prevents them from being exposed to the sunshine and warmth of the outside world.

They seem to be so cruel and ruthless that they are hateful, but occasionally, some drow elves reveal endless sadness and helplessness in their eyes, which makes it impossible to simply label them as a hateful race.

In fact, they are more like imprisoned prisoners, unable to be free and burdened with endless pain and difficulties.

Brian could feel their struggle and desire for freedom, as if he heard the call from deep in their hearts.

The cave was surrounded by dense spider webs, which looked like a huge trap, and the huge spiders guarding nearby were quietly waiting for their prey to arrive.

They are like guardians in the darkness, performing their duties ruthlessly. These monsters are the rulers of this dark area, controlling the life and death of all creatures.

In this dark world, every creature is fighting for survival.

Leaving the range of the Chief Mage's Mage Tower, Orianna, who had been waiting in the darkness for a long time, immediately came over and asked anxiously, "How was your conversation with the Mage, Mr. Brian? Did you get the item you wanted?"

After deciding to follow the surface lord and move to the floating city, Orianna's mind was completely focused on Brian.

For her, this is not only the beginning of her new life, but also the starting point of her destiny closely linked to Brian's.

She deeply understood that this was the so-called situation where everyone prospers together and suffers together.

However, what worried Orianna the most was undoubtedly the attitude of the Chief Mage.

The mage, known for his ruthlessness, whose opinions and decisions are crucial to Orianna's future.

If the Chief Mage rejected Brian's request, or even denied her idea of ​​escaping from her current life, then what her future fate would be, Orianna didn't even dare to think about it.

At this critical moment, Orianna could not hide her inner anxiety and expectation.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Brian was full of deep dependence and trust.

Her heart was filled with longing and anxiety for the future, and she could only pin her fate on Brian, hoping that he could convince the powerful wizard to free her and allow her to pursue her own happiness and freedom.

The air around seemed to freeze, and every second was filled with uncertainty.

Orianna's heart was like a ship in a storm, swaying.

She knew that only with Brian's guidance could she find the way to the floating city and her own future.

Sensing Orianna's nervousness as she stood beside him, Brian knew that her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.

He understood that Orianna was worried about their future fate, as well as her own responsibilities and mission.
This subtle exchange of emotions reminded Brian of the look in the Chief Mage's eyes.

The despair in those eyes weighed on his heart like a dark cloud.

In fact, during the time in the Mage Tower, Brian did not take the initiative to mention the idea of ​​taking in some drow elves to the Chief Archmage.

He did this because he was concerned about the Chief Wizard's stubborn self-esteem.

He knew that making such a suggestion directly might make the other party feel questioned and disrespected.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent, wanting to leave the other party with the last bit of dignity.

Although there was not much communication between the two, Brian, with his keen insight, noticed that the Chief Mage's attitude towards Orianna and others had already been revealed in his words and actions.

Perhaps deep in his heart he had developed some feelings for them, perhaps worry, perhaps expectation, or perhaps some complex emotion that was difficult to express in words.

Therefore, he can still make the decision. (End of this chapter)
