Arcane Journey

Since Brian had left the teleportation coordinates in the other party's mage tower before leaving Vizlan, he met the former great wizard who lived in seclusion there in an instant.

"Welcome back, respected Mr. Brian." Seeing Brian coming, Master Vizlan was not surprised at all and greeted him with a smile.

The area that Brian stepped into was the most secretive level of Master Vizlan's Mage Tower - his private study, a secret place that seemed to devour time, space, and logic.

Here, the breath of ancient books and the brilliance of strange magic runes are interwoven into splendid paintings. They are not just decorations, but more like a living beating pulse of knowledge, leading every soul that sets foot here to explore the deep and fascinating ocean of wisdom.

Inside the study, invisible servants moved silently like ghosts, driven by the magic cleverly woven in the air. They looked like an extension of the will of the Vizlan wizard, performing invisible but precise tasks.

When Brian's figure appeared in this quiet space, the invisible servants immediately responded to their master's call. Under the control of Master Vizlan's mind, they held exquisite silver trays in their hands, like carriers carrying stars, and slowly moved in front of Brian.

On the tray, there are all kinds of delicacies, arranged in an orderly manner like works of art. Each dish exudes an enticing aroma, as if it can awaken the deepest desires and fantasies in people's hearts.

Of course, the food prepared was the same as last time.

The dried mushrooms are carefully selected and processed with secret methods, with a mellow and attractive aroma. The smoked Los beast meat is smoked Los beast meat hunted from the depths of the Underdark, and there are several glasses of spirits served in crystal clear high-heeled glasses, the color of which is as gorgeous as amber.

Vizlan was the first to pick up the glass of gleaming liquor and drank it without hesitation, as if to show his sincerity and respect for his guest.

On the surface, it seemed that Vizlan was very respectful to Brian, and the etiquette in welcoming his arrival was impeccable.

But Brian still noticed that behind Vizlan's majestic figure, there was a Slaadi from the Chaos Sea, whose figure was hidden in the darkness, like a ghost in the night.

Especially those scarlet eyes, like two balls of cold flames that never go out, were locked on him from beginning to end, like a lurking poisonous snake, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Whenever Brian made the slightest movement, he seemed to be able to feel the chill coming from those eyes, as if if he dared to act rashly, a violent attack would instantly sweep over him and tear him into pieces.

Brian was too lazy to argue with the other party about this situation, and even too lazy to pay attention to Vizlan's red tape. He went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Vizlan, I am glad to have fulfilled your mission. I have completed the task you entrusted to me. I have carefully prepared all the things you need. So, should the reward you promised also arrive as expected?"

As he spoke, Brian took out the collected items and materials one by one and placed them in front of Vizlan's desk.

The pile of materials included intact, unhatched purple worm eggs, six feathers from six different angels, the heart of a giant bull demon, ghost mushrooms, and a few drops of a demon lord's blood or concentrated water.

The six different angel feathers were obtained by Brian after he defeated Yenogu's incarnation, through the "Tianjie Mountain Covenant" he mastered, and the angel summoned by Tianjie Mountain. As for the way to obtain the ghost mushroom, it was even simpler. Just go to the elder of the mushroom man in the lightless forest. Seeing the materials that Brian took out, even though Vizlan had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After all, most of the materials here are beyond his ability to obtain, such as the feathers of different angels and the blood of demon lords.

As a great wizard who once lived in a city in the Underdark where conspirators were commonplace, Vizlan must have some extraordinary qualities to have survived to this day.

Therefore, the materials he asked Brian to help him find seemed to be used to destroy the Underdark magic circle, but in fact he also had some selfish motives, so he asked Brian to help him find some things that he could not obtain by his own ability, so as to facilitate the subsequent research.

How could Brian not know about Vizlan's little thoughts, but in order to quell the unrest in the Underdark as soon as possible, he had no better way than to do this.

So I just turned a blind eye.

However, when Brian placed these materials in front of Vizlan, his sharp eyes still noticed the Death Slaad hiding behind Vizlan.
The Death Slaadi lurking in the shadow of Vizran, the moment Brian showed the blood of the demon lord, suddenly flashed a hint of greed and desire that was hard to conceal in its scarlet eyes, as hot as a hungry wolf seeing its delicious prey.

This scene, like the tip of an iceberg, made Brian vaguely have an astonishing guess: behind Vizlan asking him to help him find the blood of the Demon Lord, there might be a deeper and more greedy purpose hidden.

This is not just to fulfill some unknown ritual requirement, but more likely to feed or please the death slaadi lurking in the shadows.

I just wonder if, beneath Vizlan's seemingly calm face, he also hides the same greed and desire as the Death Toad?
Brian couldn't help but start to wonder, are there more unknown secrets and conspiracies hidden behind this transaction?

"I admire Mr. Brian's ability. He was able to collect all the materials so quickly." Vizlan withdrew his gaze from the materials piled in front of him. He looked at Brian with a smile and asked softly:
"However, although all the materials have been collected, you may have forgotten one most important item."

"Forgot? How is that possible?" Brian shook his head slightly. After a little thought, he raised his hand and waved it. The magic notes of the great wizard Haizhuof from the ancient city of Orens appeared in his palm.

Brian waved his sword lightly, and the air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.

Then, the magic notes of the great wizard Haizhuof from the ancient city of Orens suddenly appeared in his palm like a messenger traveling through time and space.

This old and thick notebook has a slightly mottled cover, but it exudes an indescribable magic, like an ocean of knowledge or the crystallization of wisdom.

Under Brian's control, the brick-thick notebook slowly floated up, like a dancer given life, lightly passing through the air, and finally stopped in front of Vizlan. (End of this chapter)
