Chapter 1373 Succession

  Erevis' expression became more and more serious.

  But he didn't speak again.

  He mourned the death of Jack Philett more than anyone else.

  The halfling is not only his life-and-death friend for many years, but also his guide. Without the guidance of the halfling, he might continue to struggle in the dark all these years.

  This time, during the trip to the Temple of the Night, the halfling fell at the hands of the Slaadi because of him.

  Although the halfling was saying goodbye to him with a smile at the time of parting, but...

  Old friends can laugh at life and death with peace of mind.

  He is by no means repaying revenge with revenge, let alone repaying hatred with virtue!

   "Urura!"

   "Serling!"

   "Azrim!"

   "Dergen!"

   Biting the names of these slaadi one by one in his heart, another gloomy look flashed in Erevis' gloomy eyes.

   Not only the four slaadi.

   And the one behind them!

   "Wilhestrom!"

   "I will send you to **** with my own hands!"

  However, no matter how much grief and anger he felt in his heart, Erevis suppressed everything in his heart.

  The Temple of the Night and his party, although he failed to prevent the slaadi from stealing the saplings of the Tree of Darkness, he received direct revelation from the God of Thieves, and he already understood the special relationship between the Goddess of the Night and the God of Thieves.

   As a result, he is already vaguely aware that the mystery of the Temple of the Night is not only related to the fate of the God of Thieves, but also to the fate of the entire world.

   It was precisely because of this that even though he had absolute trust in Macaddon, he didn't dare to divulge any information to the tiefling.

   "Not for long."

  "Since He is already promoting, the day of the storm of destruction of the world must be approaching."

   "We must get rid of Wilhelm completely before this!"

   Then he can let go of everything and devote himself to this event with all his heart!

   It was these thoughts that were turning in my mind. Suddenly, Erevis and Macadon beside him moved almost at the same time in their hearts, and then they both turned their eyes to the depths of the mountains.

  The sky is changing color!

  It was still daytime at this time, but the western sky was suddenly alternating light and dark, and even the faint starlight was floating in the sky.

  Suddenly, even they felt an unrealistic trance.

   "Magic Ritual!"

   Magical rituals of incredible intensity!

  The faces of the two of Erevis couldn't help but change color.

   This ceremony, I am afraid that this is the reason why Mies will be taken away from the city of ghosts abruptly!

   But after all, I didn't pay too much attention to this aspect.

   Their purpose is not on this body.

   On the contrary, their trip even has the intention of helping this person!

   "Miss has appeared."

   "If they want to make a move, when this ceremony is going on, it's the best time!"

   Instead, it is in response to the judgment of Erevis.

   Behind the void on the other side.

"interesting!"

   "Exquisite!"

   "Indescribable!"

   Surrounded by four humanoid slaadi on the left and right, one is covered by a black robe, with only a pair of wise and peaceful eyes, like stars shining in the night sky, appearing under the hood of the black robe.

   At this time, from these eyes.

   First there was admiration, followed by surprise, and finally there was admiration and amazement.

   "Dragon Domain and Magic Domain!"

   "The School of Change and the School of Conjuration!"

   "There is also this ceremony, which seems to be a combination, but it is completely consistent!"

   It wasn’t just seeing it with my own eyes. Even the man in black can only make a rough judgment based on the signs of the magic ceremony.

   And judging from this...

   "Ten thousand years ago, when my father took me to travel to this world, the high magic rituals of those elves brought me some surprises."

   "Ten thousand years later, I will come back here again and witness this extraordinary ceremony again, but I will have no regrets."

  Even if the slaadi were following behind, the man in black made no secret of his admiration and admiration.

   Arcane is not the only truth in the world.

  However, the wisdom embodied in the arcane art can reflect the exploration and pursuit of truth.

  Even if he hasn't covered his face, he can already feel the heart of that tireless inquiry into the truth, as well as the depth of that inquiry.

   "Should be a remarkable transformation!"

   "Driven by the source energy of two domains, centered on the school of change, supplemented by the school of conjuration, and this incredible ritual intensity, this extraordinary transformation..."

  Not in a hurry to step out of the void, the man in the black robe was just thinking about it.

   Faintly, he already had a little grasp of that person's intentions.

  Is it necessary to forcibly realize the transformation of destiny through arcane rituals?

  Maybe it is impossible for arcane art to achieve everything, but arcane art can undoubtedly achieve most things.

   And this one, of course, has this idea!

   It's just that it made him hesitate a little, but he couldn't grasp it for a while...

   "It seems to have a certain degree of similarity with the high magic ritual of the elves."

   "But between the two, it is definitely not the same thing."

   "What method did this person use to stabilize and control such a powerful magic ritual?"

  While thinking about it, the eyes of the man in black robe unconsciously showed curiosity.

  Even if it was him, it was impossible for him to control such an intense ritual.

  So, for the final setting off, he was the one who drove the slaadi and made all kinds of preparations.

   But even now, this preparation has not been perfected, and now he can't control a similar level of magical energy.

  Even this giant dragon has a natural advantage in the field of arcane control, but he still doesn't feel that under normal circumstances, there are giant dragons who can freely control such rituals.

   "It must have been through some means!"

   In his mind, the man in black had this clarity.

   And thus...

   "It is necessary to pay a visit in person, to see it in person."

  For a while, the man in black robe was more interested in the green dragon itself than the secret energy core.

   Unfortunately, his life is nearing the end.

  I can see a thing or two, but it is still too late to explore more.

"but…"

   "He should be qualified to witness my ultimate glory!"

   "Witness that I have been to this world and left footprints!"

  At this time, there are already a certain number of people in black robes, and it may not be easy to obtain this secret energy core.

   This one is undoubtedly much more difficult to deal with than those undead skulls in Skull Harbor.

   Fortunately, he is not without options!

   "If you can't get this secret energy core in the end, then steal that temple, steal that person's power of faith, and complete the final ripening of the tree of darkness!"

  Life is nearing the end, and he doesn't mind offending the gods.

   On the contrary, if the gods can also come to see his final swan song, this will be even more perfect!

   this consideration.

   "Try to find out what's going on below."

   "There is no need to force it, if you are blocked, just retreat."

  Through telepathy, the voice of the man in black reached the hearts of the slaadi behind.

  These slaadi are all toad eggs he directly snatched from the Chaos Sea, and hatched by himself with arcane techniques.

Following him for many years, although they have not been promoted to gray slaadi and dead slaadi, they all have advanced careers, and have developed more and more powerful spell-like abilities. , the team that is best at infiltrating and investigating.

   But even these slaads are elite spies.

  But there are many people in black robes, and the underground at this time must be extremely heavily guarded.

  Given the magic level of the green dragon, the defenses it has prepared cannot be easily broken through.

   In addition, besides the Miser energy core, he still has alternatives...

  The order given by the man in black at this time did not carry any coercion.

"yes!"

  All four slaads responded, and one person asked for instructions: "Master, do you want to make more noise? Or sneak in quietly and retreat when encountering obstacles?"

   The movement is louder, this is to create conditions for the people in black robes.

  Sneaking in quietly is just an attempt, just a temptation.

   "Just sneak in quietly."

"Um?"

"Hold on…"

   Just as he was talking, the man in black robe suddenly raised his hand, stopping the action that the slaadi were about to start.

  Looking through the void, watching the depths of the mountains, where the castle is, a strange color appeared in his pupils.

   "Someone is spearheading us, cover!"

   "Wait for a while, take advantage of the chaos, and sneak in again!"

   But just as he said this, his eyes flickered again.

  A hint of suspicion that was not noticed by others.

  The intensity of the magic ritual has suddenly changed!

  If it was said before, even he could not believe it, and felt that it was difficult to control.

  At this moment, although the majesty of the magical energy is still as deep as the sea, it is still distorted into space and reality, but compared with before, it has completely declined.

  The most important thing, if his induction is correct...

   "It was supposed to be 'Trinity'!"

   "At this time, this should only retain the most powerful 'one'!"

   "So... this is a temporary change achieved in a certain way. Is that extraordinary control time-sensitive?"

   "The unbelievable intensity before, it is precisely because of this timeliness that the concentrated explosion was undisguised?"

   While observing the castle, some dark figures suddenly appeared, calling out the dark sky again, covering a large area of ​​the sky.

  On the one hand, the man in the black robe is also speculating on the core nature of the change in the intensity of the magic ritual at this time.

Based on his speculation, since the explosion in this concentration has passed, and the ceremony has entered a "single-core" state, this should mean that this ceremony has already stabilized, and the most critical and most difficult composition is already It came true for that one!

   "Sure enough."

"but…"

  The thoughts in his heart were moving, and suddenly, with a sound of "Huh", the eyes of the man in black shrank again.

  Although he observed that some people jumped out of the way to stop the green dragon's arcane ceremony, he already knew a lot of them, and these people would definitely not be simple.

  After all, simple people can't get here at all, let alone go underground.

  But at this moment, these people really made a move, and almost in a blink of an eye, they broke through the surface defense and pointed straight to an underground tunnel.

   "Arcanist of the City of Shadows!"

   "The so-called supreme city lord has arrived in person!"

   This is the magical power that makes him want to pay attention!

   Moreover, this is not the only one.

   Centering on this purple-robed great mage, several people around are also powerful legendary spellcasters.

   Plus a large number of high-level arcanists, and more elite troops.

  At this time, even he had to temporarily avoid the powerful force that appeared suddenly, and it was impossible to penetrate everything directly.

  It seems that the City of Shadows attaches more importance to the Miser energy core than he expected.

  It's just these arcanists and ghosts who are quickly destroying the defenses around the castle.

   "Sure enough, it's here!"

   "It's our turn!"

  A gate of planes suddenly appeared in the sky.

   Intense chaos and evil forces.

   Almost immediately, just after recovering from the signs of alternation of light and dark, the entire sky suddenly became gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

   It is when the endless evil power is erupting and spreading.

  From the gate of the plane.

  Wolf snake demon!

  Baro Balrog!

  Serpents, even more Snakes in groups!

   There are also Nestors and Glaubers!

   There are massacre demons and soul-reavers!

  In the blink of an eye, more than ten or twenty high-ranking Tanari of the legendary rank sprang out from the gate of the plane.

   And it's not just that.

   Immediately following these legendary-level demons, a large number of Vlo demon troops are also pouring out.

  Even if it's the people in black robes, even if it's some other people who are also observing here, and those people from the City of Shadows are indispensable, everyone's expression changes in an instant.

  It is much stronger than the demonic power they know.

  The Legendary-level demons under the command of the King of Red, they all know, that is, the seven giants of the Tanari in the Hell Gate Fortress.

   Moreover, most of the Tanar'ri Seven Giants have been revived after falling, and they are not at their peak.

  But at this moment, the number of legendary-level demons killed has reached twenty!

  Especially the three leading ones, with their powerful aura, they are far superior to the seven Tanari giants, even if the magic flame king Greensac is resurrected, it will be nothing more than that!

   "There has been an ambush!"

  The first thought of everyone in City of Shadows.

   "Where did he call and when did he call these demons?"

  It is also hidden at the level of the demiplane, and when observing the outside situation, Kui Lu and Leila's expressions are also concentrated.

   "Let's take advantage of the chaos and act."

  The man in the black robe was instigating the slaadi. He didn't care who lost or who won.

   However, it is his side that is taking action.

"about there."

   "If they arrive, it's time to take the opportunity to act."

"let's go!"

  Among the mountains, the kobold army is rapidly gathering in the direction of Dragon Castle.

  A shadow swayed suddenly, sweeping over Magadon, and Erevis also started to act.

   It is this time.

  Natural green.

   "The handwriting is really not small!"

   "This child of Tiamat is not very well designed!"
