The Swordsman of Faerûn

William continued to smile wryly: "Don't! I don't want to know what happened, and I don't want to know the origin of what you are saying. In fact, I just want you to ignore me as an unknown passerby."

Bilaya just snorted coldly, and didn't answer William's words. Instead, he directly controlled the amethyst platform and rushed into the fog, into a huge cave that could accommodate giants to move freely in it.

When William's family entered the cave, they were immediately shocked by the scenery inside. This inconspicuous cave, which looks dark from the outside, if they really went in, they found that the inside was unbelievably magnificent, and the bottom line was inlaid Gold, golden walls, golden murals, golden lighting, golden utensils, it is simply a country of pure gold.

The scenery that can really attract William's attention is the golden murals. There are many murals. The content inside is the beginning of the birth of the ancestors of the Sarukh witches, and each golden mural represents a thrilling event or story. .

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The origin of the Sarukh witch can almost be traced back to the beginning of the entire world civilization, of course, William can only express his tentative belief in this.

According to the golden murals, the origin of the Sarukh witches was the original intelligent race born from the amphibians and reptiles who first left the ocean and landed on land. They developed civilization, transformed the world, and established the first great empire of civilization. .Of course, there is not only a certain kind of great existence in it - the revelation of the so-called giant snake in the universe, but also the tireless struggle of the witches.

During the development of the civilization of the Sarukh witches, they discovered the knowledge of spells that they had never encountered before. The Sarukh witches learned these primitive spells and recorded them in the scroll.

The scrolls were not valued by the mainstream civilization at the beginning, so a secret organization, Baetis, gathered them and made them into a golden scroll, which was called "the golden skin of the world snake". The predecessor of the "Scroll of Nether" discovered by the Riel.

The appearance of the golden scroll meant that the Sarukh witch had touched forbidden knowledge, which led to the initial civilization being involved in the terrible battle of the two snakes, which can also be called the "war of light and darkness".In one of the golden frescoes, it is the terrible struggle between the two huge serpentine beasts of light and dark.

In this almost endless war, countless terrifying existences were born. They inherited the power left by the two snakes and were called gods.Since these gods are not inherently divine (the theory of blood in question), they have irreparable defects in some aspects, so that they always participate in the battles of the mundane, or their battles always affect the rise and fall of the mundane .

The appearance of the Faerun magic sunflower is the turning point of the Sarukh witchcraft civilization from prosperity to decline. This terrible magical creature born with the goddess of magic has become a disaster for the Sarukh empire. The carrier of civilization, the imperial society, was destroyed.A gold fresco depicting an umbrella-shaped monster is a depiction of the catastrophe.

As the discoverer of the original magic, the Sarukh civilization's resistance to fate was tragic and tragic. Hundreds of golden murals recorded that epic epic.They used to be brilliant, and even built a great miracle across the starry sky. They were also on the verge of extinction. Not only did they almost lose all the forces in outer space, but even the homeland as the birthplace was almost destroyed, and the inheritance of civilization was interrupted. , the people were massacred and enslaved.

Combining the knowledge he had obtained from the aboleth, William discovered a terrifying truth that made him inexplicably horrified. The history and legends of the mainstream civilized world of Faerun today have been maliciously tampered with.

In today's mainstream legends, Faerun used to have five creator races in history. They were the ancestral races and once ruled the world for a period of time. (Batrarch), wood goblins, and primitive humans.But the above statement is actually wrong, or it is a pseudo-history that has been distorted and revised.

The real five creator races actually refer to the five main source races that established the initial civilization era. They jointly established the Sarukh civilization empire, and together they are called the origin of Sarukh witches.They are the Saruk scaled people (lizard people, snake people, the first ancestor of the Naga), the Aery family, the Balachian demon fish, goblins and primitive humans. The dragon is not the real origin. The original race, but they were the first to take refuge in the Sarukh shamans who were about to enter the glory period, and became the vanguard of the shaman civilization to conquer the universe.

However, the Ai Rui family, one of the five great ones, is the betrayer of the complete decline of the Sarukh witch-beetle civilization. Due to the loopholes, the glorious era took a turn for the worse and almost died completely.

Therefore, due to the deliberate distortion of certain existence and the acquiescence of those involved, the Ai Rui family was excluded from history, and their reputation and status were replaced by giant dragons.

The current mainstream civilization presumes the history of the Sarukh civilization to be 5 to [-] years ago, but in fact the history of ancient civilizations is far longer than people's imagination, at least a hundred times more than people's guesses.

The knowledge and inside story hidden in the golden murals are far beyond the imagination of any historian. It can even be said that this is a taboo among most gods.

Whether it is William or the three female relatives of his family, they have all experienced an unimaginable brainstorm, that is, they are either stupid and brainless, or they are young and have not formed inherent cognition, or they have a vague knowledge of the truth. Faith has not been crushed by the torrent of historical truth.

The second half of the golden mural mainly describes the remnants of civilization's resistance to fate and the gods, among which the Salamanders are an extremely important force.

The Salamanders was originally a royal guard in the empire era in the early days of civilization, and then gradually grew into an ace interstellar battle group in the star space development period. They once fought against various dangerous and terrifying monsters and alien races in the universe. In the past, they have slaughtered the dragon army, killed gods and big demons (referring to primitive evils), and destroyed barbaric civilizations. They can be called one of the most powerful legions in Faerun's history.

The will of the Salamander Squadron carries the unyielding struggle of mortal races against the sacred supremacy, but now that it is going into decline, it is a kind of extremely sad sorrow. There are not only the blows spared by external forces for thousands of years, but also the The Salamanders did it their own way.

William does not comment on the positions and actions of the Salamanders, justice, or evil, and he doesn't care about the right and wrong. It's not his own history, and it has nothing to do with him or someone else. When the bird organization was buried in the sky, he put a stick of incense on them and burned some paper money to sacrifice grievances.

That's right, William just wanted to add a burial to this ancient remnant organization that had always been stagnant and immortal. This thing has too much hatred with Faerun's mainstream will.If he hadn't established a revenge contract with Sanyu, he would have taken his family and run away, but what?well!I will cry if I continue!

William felt that he should not provoke Xiao Jinlongge Windsor, otherwise he would not have been assigned a task by the real boss. This time he really had no room to resist.

After admiring the shattering corridor of golden murals, the William family was led by the special envoy Bilaya to step on the amethyst lifting platform again and continue to go deep into the great rift.

When they entered a corridor again, William felt a little familiar, and soon he realized, isn't this a place he has been to not long ago?This place is actually the Snake Arena where he once obtained three thousand years of life, he is very familiar with this place.

The ancient ruins, the endless dead corpses, the magical arena, William really didn't expect that he had been to the lair of the salamander, and he was also drunk. It turned out that he caused the trouble because of his own death!

At this moment, William had a sudden feeling.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The traces of being smashed by William have long since disappeared, and the ashes all over the ground have also been turned into bone puppets, which are arranged in various positions of the ruins in an orderly manner, like a pacesetter of vigilance.

As for the snake arena where William once harvested a lot, it has been fighting constantly. The salamander members and some Sarukh witches who have just woken up from their long sleep need sacrifices to replenish their origin, so they keep fighting. Pull people's heads through the Snake Arena and challenge all kinds of powerful alien life. These guys are really good at it, and basically they can win nine out of ten battles.

The appearance of William and Phinea made some of the newly awakened salamanders very greedy, because their kind of powerful local life is the best sacrifice, almost only one or two sacrifices are needed to make up for the lack of origin , is far from being comparable to the lives of other planes plundered through the snake arena.

However, the special envoy Bilaya will not be used to those greedy guys. It is the real high-ranking witch-horse, the leader of the Sarukh witch-ha, the representative of the earth prophet Acindor, and its natural status is higher than that of any shaman survivor here.Bilaya repelled those greedy guys very displeased, and then led William's family to continue to go deep underground.

After going through several mysterious facilities like flesh and blood creature hatchery, magic machinery casting workshop, and space dormancy chamber, Bilaya led William's family to a huge underground space.

A super altar nearly the size of ten football fields. Countless Sebes lizardmen are busy here. These natural sacrifices of the gods may not know that they are digging their own graves for burial.

Everything stems from the original sin of ignorance.

After Bilaya brought William and others to the super altar, he stopped and stopped moving forward, because this was their destination.

William pretended to be curious and asked: "Now, can you tell me why you brought me here?"

Bilaya took off the robe on his body, revealing a thin body like a python, it spat out a snake letter, and hissed: "Of course, I will tell you even if you don't ask.

Boy William, have you ever heard the story of the creation of two serpents? "

William shook his head pretending to be confused, saying that he had never heard of the relevant rumors. He didn't know anything about the shit farce between Jerien and Asmodeus. Who knew who the puppy was!Mmm, woof!

Bilaya nodded in satisfaction. It’s fine if you don’t know. Of course, a human wild boy like William cannot know such a secret that is enough to subvert the existing system of gods and demons. Space.

The so-called creation twin snakes refer to the twins of the cosmic giant snakes that represent order. The two powerful cosmic snakes embody the duality of order.One, with wings and feathers, dedicated himself to good; the other, with scales and a forked tongue, embraced the dark path of evil.

Regardless of their differences, they are the first and most powerful voices of order.

As for the story between them, it’s like a young couple arguing with each other. At first, the two bite each other’s tails, forming a circle of two snakes eating each other, often playing some shameful scenes of you eating me and I eating you. game.However, after maintaining the same posture for a long time, the couple is always a little bored, so they are going to change some new tricks.

At this time, the Snakes had different ideas about who would occupy the C position, so they had a tug-of-war, but no one was defeated, and they separated.

Freed from her wicked consort, the good serpent Jerien heads to Mount Paradise, the Seventh Heaven.At the same time, the evil serpent Asmodeus, lacking the wings of goodness, fell directly into Baator, a fall so long that the serpent crashed into the lowest level of hell.

They were all weakened by fighting with each other, so the later gods usurped their place, established their own beliefs and spread the usurper's influence to all planes.

No one is willing to be replaced by a group of latecomers, and the same is true for the two snakes of good and evil.Asmodeus has been accumulating strength since his fall, and one day, a dark force will emerge from Baator Hell, and only the lonely Jerien can stop this irresistible force that completely destroys the world .

Due to some special ideas or reasons, the power of the kind snake Jerien separated several times a long time ago, which is undoubtedly very unfavorable for him to face the evil invasion from Bator Hell in the future.

As the family member of the Cosmos Giant Serpent, the Sa Luke witch will undoubtedly shoulder the important task of restoring the balance between good and evil.

The lich, Bilaya, was eloquently interpreting his speech, introducing to William the ancient secrets mixed with a lot of private goods.He said to William: "Your Excellency William, you are the first human being who has successfully won the Arena of Snakes in thousands of years. This is a great honor, and the order will definitely cheer and reward you, and you too Deeds need to be done in response to Order's favor."

"Oh? What do I need to do?" William looked at Bilaya with great interest, and asked innocently.

Bilaya said confidently: "You should know that the power of the good and evil snakes is interlinked. When they come into contact with each other, the power of both sides will be balanced. The strong one will be weakened, and the weak one will be weakened. It has been strengthened. And what we need to do is this, let the power of good and evil communicate at a certain level, so as to balance the power gap between the two creation snakes."

William nodded foolishly, indicating that he understood the meaning.However, he still didn't know what the specific operation was, and Bilaya quickly resolved William's doubts.

It's just that after hearing the plan of the Sa Luke witch, William felt a little bit like cursing, beating and beating people.This frankly wants him to sell himself and his kidneys, and act as a shameless tool man.

It can be said that the plan of the Sarukh witches is highly operable, but they are not very friendly to William.First of all, they will sacrifice to summon the female incarnation of the good snake, a beautiful saint who can charm all living beings, and act as the protagonist audience of the entire ceremony.Then there is William, a powerful human being imbued with the gift of the serpent, who will temporarily be the bearer of the power of Asmodeus, the lord of hell.

When two great power carriers with similar origins meet, they will unstoppably perform the behavior of their two origins that have lasted for hundreds of millions of years, devouring and balancing each other.The material manifestation in the mortal world is the carrier of both parties. William and the female saint have an indescribable in-depth communication that does not involve emotions.

And the majestic power brought together by this kind of communication will greatly strengthen the divine power of the good snake Jie Ruien, especially at this moment when many gods are being relegated to the mortal world, the saint of Jie Ruien will be among the future saints. absolute advantage in battle.

Bilaya also said that William will not suffer in this great ceremony. He will most likely become a co-voter of the two snakes of good and evil. He can borrow the power and gifts of both sides at any time, and even become a powerful devil lord. Not impossible.

William can only say hehe, whoever loves to be a voter, I don't like being a puppet for others, but he didn't show this resistance on his face, but hid it in his heart.

At this time, William has already confirmed one thing. Bilaya is definitely not the special envoy of the Prophet Acindor of the Earth. It is absolutely impossible for that person to lie to any gods, let alone find any excuse to maintain balance for the gods. Pimp out.

Bilaya's origin is a bit suspicious.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

It is said that Acindor, the Prophet of the Earth, was born 1 years after the collapse of the Great Sarukh Empire. Of course, this rumor is not very accurate. The only thing that is certain is that he was born at least before the establishment of the Great Empire of Netheril. some era.

The Earth Prophet Acindor is a great existence. He possesses the power and wisdom comparable to the gods, but also has compassion for the mortal intelligent races. He will never deliberately intervene or even please the gods for the so-called "balance".

Even William had earlier learned a little-known secret about the Earthseer, Acindor, one of the leading members of the metaplanar alliance against the gods, from a drunkard of the Warlock's Enemy.

The so-called Pan-Plane Alliance Against the Gods is a secret organization formed by elites of some mortal races. The most fundamental tenet of this organization is that gods are just powerful extraordinary creatures, and they should not be too obsessed with them.

Later William understood who Bilaya's real owner was.Because when all the sacrifices were ready to start the sacrifice under the guidance of Bilaya and his men, one of the most important sacrifices appeared.

A beautiful snake covered with snow-white scales, and a pure-blood Sarukh witch, this is definitely an extremely rare existence among all Sarukh witches.

The only known albino sage in history is the last emperor of the Okos Empire, one of the three sage empires established by the survivors of the Saruk sages in the Thunder Age tens of thousands of years ago——Pilitis , He was born with albinism, lacking melanin on the body surface, and would be burned once he appeared in the sun, so he had to hide in the dark in the early days, and this was one of the reasons for the collapse of his empire.

The point is that Peletis had some rather special ideas about the gods.Therefore, according to William's guess, this beautiful jade snake should have some kind of blood relationship with the albino witch who was specially remembered by the aboleth.

Eight strong-bodied Sebes lizardmen carried a crystal chariot. On the crystal chariot crawled a pink-white snake sculpture that looked like a large piece of warm jade. Ordinary stunner.When William saw this glamorous alien, he felt a throbbing in his heart. He seemed to see a real and magical version of the white lady, and he didn't know which dog Xu Xian would be cheaper in the end.

The White Snake is a sacrificial offering of the holy carrier of the snake god Jerien. This requires her to be absolutely voluntary, not a victim of persecution, otherwise there will be irreparable damage when Jerien comes. flaw.

When the goddess's descent ceremony began, William's family was sent out of the altar in advance, because they could not bear the miraculous rendering of the divine descent, and were easily infected into fanatics who lost themselves.

For Bilaya's kind reminder, William was half grateful and half angry, because he didn't want to stay here either, and he was also worried that he would be infected with his beliefs and become a servant with distorted thoughts!

But Bilaya rejected William's proposal to temporarily avoid the Advent Ceremony, claiming that observing the Advent of the Good Serpent up close was an essential step for William to become the carrier of the divine power of the Evil Serpent.

When the crystal chariot was lifted to the core position of the altar, Wu Hui and the White Lady curled down and clung to where it should be, a real sculpture of a snake with feathered wings.

Then the Sebes lizard man walked away quickly carrying the empty crystal chariot.

Ethereal chants began to sound, praising the merits of the good snake who created the two snakes, and the Sebes lizardmen fell one by one as sacrifices. If someone throws their heads away at this time, they will find these The poor fellow's brain was gone, his head and spine a miserable shell.

Countless rays of light descended from the ceiling, accompanied by more holy and distant chants, and the intoxicating fragrance of holy oil, which was the sound and smell from the Seven Heaven Mountains, and the good snake Jie Ruien came.

William looked up at the sky (if there was one), and he saw a gigantic serpent flying in the sky with the most beautiful and holy colorful wings. The realization of all positive meanings.

The colorful Feathered Snake streaked across the sky, and its holy body turned into a sky-filled brilliance, leaving behind a piece of gorgeous beauty, and then part of it formed a rainbow belt, linking to the witch and the white lady.

Immediately, the witch and white lady was shrouded in brilliance. With the rendering of hymns and holy oil, all the living beings present realized one thing, that something holy had come.

At this time, William was not distorted as everyone expected. His brain was sober and full of wisdom. Because of this observation of God's descent, William felt that his brain's thinking ability and cognition of everything He has been qualitatively improved (intelligence +1, perception +1), and his temperament has been sublimated (charm +1). No matter who he faces in the future, William believes that he can hold this position firmly.

In other words, is there anyone who can face the essence of a god so directly as we do?It's as if you have personally watched the goddess in your mind (metaphor this time) picking nose, feet and three urgent discharges in person. Although you still feel very loving during the process, when you face other When licking a dog, does it occupy an absolute psychological advantage at various levels?

Except for William, no one dared to face the coming of a true God, so no one noticed William's abnormality. He was very interested in admiring the wonderful ceremony, admiring the saint who came successfully, holy, beautiful, pure...etc. A series of beautiful words can be placed on this existence who occupies the body of Wu Hui and White Lady.

It should be said that now this one is more like the White Lady. He has a holy, pure, and enchanting appearance, especially when this saint is transformed into a human form, and the colorful wings behind her are like a cloak covering the graceful body. When the incomparable saint's body is on the ground, the looming absolute temptation will simply make all the charming thoughts sink into the abyss and cannot be extricated. Of course, the premise is that you can still give birth to that kind of thoughts under the impact of the sacred light.

William is undoubtedly the kind of sober person whose mind has not been colored by the light of God. At this time, the most primitive biological instinct was born in his heart uncontrollably. The Feathered Serpent Saint standing in the center of the altar.

Suddenly, a grand will quickly emerged from the boundless depths of the ground. That will represented absolute evil, full of indescribable negative evil, and the desire for a certain behavior.This is the power of the Evil Serpent, lured by the Good Serpent, seeping from the deepest depths of the far-off Baator.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When the power of the evil snake appeared, all the onlookers quietly exited the altar. No matter whether it was the surviving Sebes lizard man or the witch who presided over the ceremony, no one wanted to face the next ones. God's privacy, because that is purely an act of death.

Evil power is invisible and qualityless, so it needs a real carrier. He first wandered around the corpses of those dead Sebes lizardmen, and transformed those bodies that had lost their lives into evil undead. It became the temporary minion of the Lord of Hell.

Then the power of the Evil Snake turned into a pitch-black mist python, circled around the Feathered Serpent Saint, as if sizing up his prey, and finally turned into a black light and rushed towards William with satisfaction.

William felt a boundless darkness attacking him, submerging his consciousness like an avalanche of mountains and seas. It was a huge black python that traversed the universe, a terrifying snake of the world. William's soul was in front of his power, just like The gap between the highest glacier and the sesame seed is as big.

The black python swallowed William's soul in one gulp. He grinned triumphantly, ready to take over the body of this mortal. Occupying the body of a mortal is not a simple matter. First, you need to determine the size of the target.This size does not refer to William's grandeur, but the capacity of the device in the literal sense, referring to the maximum magnitude of the evil power of the evil snake that can be accommodated by a mortal body.

Obviously, the larger the capacity of the mortal body, the stronger the power that the incarnation of the evil god can inherit, but once the infusion of the power of the evil god exceeds the limit, the mortal body will completely collapse, and the incarnation of the evil god will also be destroyed. It will become a rootless tree and water without a source, and it will be easily destroyed or even plundered by other existences.

To the great surprise of the Evil Snake, he found that the mortal body he was about to occupy was as magnificent as the top devils and angels.Even if he poured all the power he seeped into this body, it was far from reaching the limit of the divine power it could hold.

The evil snake knows exactly what this means. As long as he can keep this body, his incarnation will become the resident god of this world. He will have exclusive access to the shining pearl of the main material plane, and the battle between the good and evil snakes will also come to an end. He will break free from the shackles of Bator's hell, and soar in the sky again.

The power of the Evil Snake was cheering for his own future. Suddenly, he felt a cold flame ignited in the deepest part of his divine power. The flame was like a spark that started a prairie fire, instantly engulfing the Evil Snake's evil nature , burn it into the purest source of power, a drop of crystal dew.

At this time, in the deepest part of Baator's Hell, an indescribable and terrifying evil god was roaring angrily, with inexplicable disbelief and mania in his roar: "Yorman Gund's tears? Damn it! I am forever Sex has lost part of its essence?! This is a conspiracy! A shameless and despicable trap! But? That human body...is simply flawless! No! I must get him! Barry Jina! Barry China! Where is the damned Baricina? My dark angels!"

As the terrifying existence shouted, a group of extremely beautiful fallen angels crossed the gate of another world from all directions and came to the deepest part of hell. They prostrated themselves in front of their king in horror and joy, listening to the undeniable instructions.

"Go! Go to the main material plane! Go to the depths of the Great Sand Sea! The most powerful and perfect warrior hides in the deepest part of that rift! Find him! Follow him! Protect him! Then report to your Lord what he has done Every movement, every word I speak, I want to know his thoughts and thoughts, understand his deepest desire!"

The dark angels laughed and flew out of the king's palace with mellow voices, and then used their own methods to go to the main material plane.

Let's talk about the scene of the sacrifice, William's soul ignited an unknown fire, which was very similar to the cursed fire he controlled, and seemed to be from the same source, but the power was much more terrifying, and it tried to occupy his body almost instantly. The evil power of the evil snake has been purified, leaving only a drop of the purest original energy.

William kept this drop of original power deep in his soul, but he didn't fuse it. His spiritual sense told him that it's definitely not a good thing to fuse this thing now.

He regained control of his body, and then William discovered a very terrible thing. At this time, he was actually in the center of the altar, embraced by a beautiful colorful white lady, with a boneless snake body like warm jade. Wrapped around him, controlled him.

He has fought fiercely against many opponents, including giantesses, young female mages, centuries-old goblins, strong female warriors, gifted female arcanists, female golden dragons, even though the opponents are of different levels, William always dominates. With the advantage of victory.

But this time, he was really willing to bow down. The strength of this white lady's mortal sage is too terrible, even though his iron body is definitely not a world-killing method that William, an ordinary person, can resist.

There is a saying that life and death are involuntary, and William now deeply feels despair.The white lady is as if she has never seen a man in thousands of years, especially this stunner can arouse the deepest fighting spirit in someone's heart with just a frown and a smile, or a light breath.

In the end, William was discarded on the altar like a rag doll that was completely ruined, with empty eyes looking at the ceiling and weeping silently.And the colorful white lady is like a female hooligan who has had enough food and drink, lazily circled away, without the slightest thought of looking back, resolutely rejecting a ruthless female escort.

Of course, William's psychology is not as fragile as imagined, he was just tortured ruthlessly, and he really felt an inexplicable sense of rejection in some aspects.In the state of an absolute sage, he feels that he does not need to release certain aspects of stress within three years. On the contrary, he needs maintenance and supplementation!

Of course, the premise is that William has to escape this ghost place with his family.
