The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

According to the operating procedures recorded in the "Annals of Karthus", Lind controlled three Nether stones and directed his spiritual thoughts through the magic network conduit composed of the stones, like three thin red lines, directly towards the master brain.

The wire penetrates into the cerebral cortex of the Supreme God and spreads toward every groove along its billions of synapses.

It's like throwing a stone into a lake, causing thousands of waves to rise in an instant.

The mind space of the mastermind is like a trumpet-like echo valley. Even a slight murmur will be amplified thousands of times through refraction and superposition, turning into the roar of mountains and tsunamis. A little spark of psychic energy was invested, but the energy of the backlash was tens of thousands of times greater.

All the creatures in the surrounding airspace felt a cold, greasy invisible tentacle piercing their brains, stirring repeatedly in their skulls, and every nerve in their bodies felt like they were on fire.

The adventurers infected by the mind flayer tadpoles performed even worse. Even the power of Orpheus could not completely block the attacks of the Supreme God.

The little prince looked solemn, opened his arms, and held up a spherical space with a radius of one hundred meters, wrapping the two red dragons in it, blocking the master brain's psychic exploration.

The bronze dragon Ansu was too far away from the paladin on the dragon's back and did not enter the protection range.

"Lind, come in!" Shadow Heart shouted loudly, but the paladin was indifferent.

The little prince shook his head and said: "He can't come in. This is a battle with the mastermind, and someone must face it."

"Make your dragon breathe fire. Just burn this brain into nothing!" Asdalen urged.

"It's useless." Orpheus II raised his baby cheeks. "You don't realize that this mastermind has surpassed other similar people and has now become a different kind of god. No matter how hard a mortal tries his best, he can't hurt him. God. This is no longer a battle for us to interfere with."

"We can only watch?" Ying Xin murmured in disbelief.

"You can also pray to your god." said the little prince. "Then, believe in that person."

The Netherite in Linde's hand emitted a bright light, always maintaining the stability of the wire and preventing it from being torn apart by the mastermind's backlash.

These three wires are two-way, allowing their thoughts to penetrate each other.

Linde's vision dimmed little by little, until everything was dark and silent. The mastermind in front of him flowed like mercury at room temperature, and then condensed into a towering octopus face like a mountain, with four tentacles like ancient It shuttled through the air like a giant snake, and the crown of Karthus on its head looked like a mountaintop castle.

"You think you can destroy me. You think I know nothing about your existence. The saint of the outer gods arrogantly thinks that there is no existence in the material plane that can defeat you. You are wrong." The Supreme God transformed into red and black His eyes stared at the tiny Lind.

Paladin showed a surprised expression, "Go on. Let me see where your confidence comes from."

"My power is no longer what it used to be. The Crown of Karthus has made me. I am no longer the Mastermind, but the Nether Brain. You should not appear in front of me as a saint, even if you are incomparable among mortals. A powerful person by comparison, but still insignificant when facing the gods.”

Nese Nao shook slightly, and two of the wires connecting the two were broken, and the remaining one was crumbling.

It made a hearty and deep laugh - or rather, it made Lind think he was laughing, so as to destroy his confidence.

"Every mastermind remembers all the history of our race. I remember everything that happened in the turbulent years. The gods came to the world as saints, some of them died, the priesthood was annexed, the believers lost, and disappeared forever in the star world. And you Doomed to lose this incarnation.”

Linde felt that the ancient book in his arms was constantly vibrating. He maintained the same tune as the Nether Stone and spoke sincerely to the Supreme God: "You have only become a god for a few days, and you don't even have weak divine power. How dare you do this?" talk to me?"

The Supreme God struggled hard again, and the last wire broke. The Nether stones suddenly dimmed and fell one after another.

"I only need one Netherite to be free, and you have brought three. The great blueprint will surely be realized. I will keep pace with Manzekori and Ilshensiin."

Its spiritual scream is getting louder and more powerful, like the noon toll in the City of Thousand Bells.

Linde watched as the skin of his palms twisted in the psychic tsunami, and his adamantine armor melted like butter. This is an illusion, but it can also be real. In the mind flayer's view, matter is just a layer of mist wrapped around the core of the soul, which can be distorted and tampered with.

If he ultimately loses, the illusion will come true and the body will dissipate.

"It's quite impressive." Paladin sat cross-legged on the dragon's back without hesitation, picked up the dropped Nether stone, and then pulled out the shaking ancient book from his arms.

The cover of this dark ancient notebook has countless eyes opening and closing, becoming very unstable.

A large amount of information is flooding the screen in the pages that record professional levels.

——Paladin: Oath of Devotion level 11 (3%)

Oaths fulfilled:...help refugees settle down*3458 (200%), prevent mind flayer-infected people from mutating*2983 (200%), city heroes, everyone's attention (2%...3%...4%...)

"The part of the code within the code." Linde shook his head and laughed, and said to the Supreme God, "Have you heard that as long as it is a decisive battle, the righteous side will always explode inexplicably."

Paladins all have this tradition. When they are fighting for a just cause, they may suddenly be blessed by the gods, and then their strength will skyrocket, and they can overwhelm evil monsters with a round of explosions.

The level of the paladin has soared to level 15, and with the addition of the level 10 warlock, Lind's total professional level has now reached level 25.

In the 5e version of the DND rules, the level limit is only level 20, but it is also level 20. Old legends such as Elminster are stronger than new legends.

Level 20 on paper cannot accurately describe the true combat power of this type of character. Just like Linde now, he is definitely considered a god descending from heaven.

His spellcasting level reached level 17, which just unlocked the 9th level spell slot.

The citizens of Baldur's Gate have survived the initial panic, and most people have found safe shelter. The battle is still going on, and people are anxiously listening to the real-time news on Lingbo Radio.

Alfila and Urd Revengard recounted the actions of the adventure team on the radio. The heroic people were fighting the final battle with the monsters in the sky. Their leader was a white knight, the Honorable Paladin, who rode bronze. Dragons cross the sky warriors.

The city was praying for the guardian of the light, and at the same time it was murmuring the name of Lind.

Ansu sensed that Paladin stood up again behind him and broke away from the illusion.

"Lind, did you succeed?"

"No, we must get close to the Crown of Karthus. Netherstone cannot remotely control the mastermind."

"Leave it to me." The bronze dragon flapped its wings and swooped towards the head of the master brain. If it wanted to get close to the crown, it had to defeat the cluster of mind flayers entrenched on the master brain.

The ancient book in Linde's hand moved automatically, and powerful 9-level spells appeared on the pages for you to choose.

He began to recite the incantation, a 9-ring transformation school spell, "Time, stop."

After spitting out the last syllable, Lind's own time flow was accelerated to the limit, so that the material plane completely stopped for him.

During this period of stillness, he continued to chant the mantra.

[Meteor storm]

[Meteor storm]

[Tsunami Technique]

He cast the spell three times in a row. After the effect of stopping time ceased, the top area of ​​the mastermind was bombarded by eight meteorites in an instant, and was then swept by a wall of water whizzing by.

Although the true body of the Supreme God remained unscathed under the protection of the psychic shell, the mind flayers and brain-eating monsters suffered, and died faster than ants in a fire.

Anzu landed in front of the Crown of Karthus.

Lind once again controlled the Netherstone, this time aiming directly at the crown, using its power to forcefully blast through the mastermind's defenses.

The crown flickered and opened a bright red portal, leading to the prototype of the Supreme God's kingdom. If you want to defeat the god, you really need to enter the kingdom of god and kill the main body.

"Linde, we are here!" The teammates landed on the dragon.

The paladin raised his hand to say hello, and then stepped into the portal first.

The inner kingdom of the Supreme God is very small, with a diameter of less than half a mile.

Its body is suspended in the center of the Kingdom of God, only the size of a truck, and is bound by the wires of the Crown of Karthus.

As a god, it is unqualified. It is just a defective product with great flaws and cannot even control its own kingdom.

"Too weak." Linde shook his head.

The adventurers are floating in the air. The environment here is similar to the astral plane. There is no gravity and all actions are driven by thoughts.

The Supreme God made a sharp cry: "-Never-surrender-"

With a collective attack by everyone, the main brain's body was completely defeated.

Orpheus II and Constantine both shouted at this time: "Use the Netherite to control the mastermind now."

The mastermind whose body was defeated did not die, but just lost control of the crown.

It trembles and whispers: "—fear—reassessment—pleasure—surrender—"

Arrogant at first and respectful at the end, it makes people laugh when they think about it.

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Paladin harnessed the Nether Stone and completely took control of the Mastermind.

Then he floated there into silence.

Ying Xin couldn't help but urge: "Lin De, you haven't forgotten what to do, right?"

"Of course, everything is as I originally planned." Linde raised his hand and waved lightly, and an irresistible psychic power gently sent his teammates out of the portal.

Shadowheart and others were forced to return to the material plane, and the portal was closed after they left.

The bronze dragon Ansu said in a deep voice: "Leave quickly and get on my back."

"Lind is still inside! What is he going to do?!" Raizel asked hurriedly.

Ansu shook his head, "He has his own plans, we should go."

The bronze dragon and the red dragon carried the members of the adventure team to evacuate the mastermind and landed in the city.

They turned their heads and looked back eagerly, seeing that the mountain-like Supreme God was still extremely powerful, and was constantly emitting circles of spiritual energy waves.

"Is it possible that he wants to steal the power of Nether Brain?"

This idea appeared in everyone's mind, but no one said it out loud as they looked at each other.

In the kingdom of God, the projection of Nesser's brain let out a happy sigh: "—conquer—rule—together we—"

Linde laughed: "Who wants to conquer the world with you?"

The Supreme God was puzzled, and then he said with relief: "-Obey the master--we are lurking--"

"No, don't get me wrong. I have already planned your fate."

"—puzzled—needs—an explanation—"

The ancient book in Lin De's arms flew out automatically, and the ink-like color seeped out from the old notebook, releasing a strangeness that made the Supreme God's heart tremble.

A lazy, slow voice sounded, saying extremely flattering words: "Supreme and noble master, your most loyal Maura, at your service."

Linde smiled and poked at the cover of the book, "You've been impatient for a long time, right? It doesn't hurt to give you this mind flayer brain. It just so happens that Delinriel still needs a host."

Mora smiled with satisfaction, "Lord, your generosity puts the stars of the multiverse to shame."

The Supreme God seemed to understand something and screamed in terror.

But the struggle was in vain. Mora's tentacles penetrated into the Kingdom of God from all directions, the black sea water rose from the bottom, and the islands were filled with endless shelves of books. The aberrant plane annexed this place.

Just like the Celestial Brain of the Marvel Universe, the Supreme Being was controlled by Mora and turned into an obedient host.

As the golden finger of this adventure, Maura also had a satisfying meal at the end.

Linde stretched and sighed softly: "It's been a long journey, it's time to go home."

He waved his hand, and the portal opened behind him, drifting back to the material plane.

Under the astonished gazes of people, the huge mastermind above Baldur's Gate slowly exuded a huge amount of ink and was dyed pitch black.

Waves of psychic energy were transmitted from the head of the Black Master, and a self-destruction order was issued to the mind flayer cluster.

The shell ships in the sky all turned off and fell towards the Gray Harbor. The mind flayers raging on the streets died suddenly, and all the true souls regained their consciousness at this moment.

"He succeeded. Linde did not betray us." Shadow Heart raised his arms and cheered happily.

The adventurers experienced incomparable relaxation. For the first time in months, their hearts were completely their own.

The thick clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and a huge island suspended in the sky appeared behind the clouds. The dark mastermind floated towards the floating city on its own initiative, and its huge body shrank rapidly, and finally disappeared completely at the bottom of the floating city.

After picking up the Supreme God, the floating city started up again and floated westward.

"What the hell, Nether's brain was snatched away?" Asdalen pointed to the sky in surprise, turned to his equally astonished companions and said, "Did you all see it? Am I not hallucinating?"

"That's the legendary Sky City Delinriel." High Duke Ravengard walked up to the adventurers. He was still decorated, but the war still ended in victory. "It seems that they are indeed a terrible threat. One It gives me chills to think of such a neighbor floating above my head."

Will muttered: "Delinriel, Linde, Delin... damn it. That city isn't related to Linde, is it?"

"It seems that our friend is the one who hides the deepest secrets." Asdalen said meaningfully, "Looking back, it was always him who was helping us solve our troubles, but he himself seemed to appear out of nowhere. It’s the same person who came, only with the identity of the so-called doctor of Waterdeep City. It’s obviously just a disguise.”

"Where is he Linde?"

The afternoon sun shone, the city perked up amid the smoldering flames of war, Baldur's Gate was once again saved from destruction, adventurers saved thousands of families, and everything turned out for the best.

The separated adventurers reunited at the Elf Song Tavern.

After the mind flayer tadpole was removed from Asdalen's mind, all the drawbacks of the vampire spawn returned again. He became thirsty for blood and afraid of sunlight and running water. So he had to find a place to hide indoors to avoid being burned to death by the scorching sun.

They talked a lot in the tavern about various plans for the future. After the adventure was over, this team that had met briefly had no common goal, and it was time to disband and go their separate ways.

Duke Belina Sturme brought a golden bowl encrusted with gems, saying: "I know you deserve a hero's feast."

Shadow Heart cast a 6-level spell and exchanged this golden bowl for a sumptuous meal. The beauty of the taste was indeed unforgettable.

The companions drank glass after glass of wine at the table.

Midway, Ying Xin was called away by her parents. Will left early to help his father with some chores. Karak was dragged into giving an inspiring speech by the tiefling refugees. Liezel holds the little prince in his arms and embarks on a new journey. Jahira and Minsk just showed up and went back to helping rebuild the city. Constantine stayed briefly and also left the tavern.

The tombkeeper left quietly with the mercenaries.

Until the end, Linde did not appear.

Gale, Asdalen, and Minsala sat at the table, looking at the mess of cups and plates on the floor.

The vampire raised his glass: "Well, it seems that our protagonist is either dead or has no intention of saying goodbye to us. After drinking this glass, let's call it a day."

Gale said unsteadily: "It's time to go. Minsala, what are your plans?"

The female drow showed a confused smile, "Me? I will run for freedom."

"Respect freedom." "Respect freedom."

After drinking this last glass, the banquet really ended.

…

Six months later.

At that time, all the adventurers in the team had scattered all over the world, but they also received a mysterious invitation, a letter from the tombkeeper. He organized a banquet and summoned these friends to the place where the adventure began - Chongqing. Wilderness campsite near verdant woodland on the banks of the Sa River.

At night, the clear light of Selûne spreads across the earth.

The adventurers who received the invitation were pulled to the banquet hall by an invisible summoning force.

The gravekeeper still looked that withered.

The old guy looked at everyone arriving and said, "You are all here. Because of the bond between you, Faerun's wheel of fortune can escape from stalling and continue to spin."

The gravekeeper looked at Linde, who was wearing a wizard's robe, "After the defeat of the Supreme God, you have been separated for several months. Tonight, fate brings you together again - cherish this bond, it is a great weapon and should be mastered by everyone." In the hands of good people.

"Go ahead and get to know each other again."

The teammates surrounded Linde without saying a word, and even squeezed and touched him.

"Why am I not surprised that you are still alive?" Ying Xin said half-complainingly, half-sarcastically.

They all denounced Linde for leaving without saying goodbye.

"Okay, I surrender." Linde raised his hand.

"There's no point in surrendering. You must give us an explanation today!"

"That's right."

Linde looked innocent, "I am just a doctor selling medicine in Waterdeep City. What do I have to explain?"

"Stop lying! What happened to the Supreme God in the end? What does that floating city have to do with you? Tell the truth."

"Well, in that case." Lin De adjusted his collar, "I originally planned to get along with you as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that all I got in exchange was suspicion and alienation. So, I have to show my cards. In fact, I am a floating city. The Lord of Delinriel.”

Teammates surprisingly accepted this statement.

"What have you been busy with in the past six months?" Linde asked curiously, and everyone answered one after another.

Shadowheart settled in Baldur's Gate with his parents and helped the Shar followers rebuild their stronghold.

Will works as a minor official under his father and will pursue an official career in the future.

Gale and the Goddess of Magic have reconciled and are now learning how to control the magic network in the wizard's tower in Waterdeep City. In a few years, he may become a god.

Asdalen and the spawn adapt to their new life. He complained that vampires had too many flaws, and Lind was going to bring the vampires from "The Elder Scrolls" over to upgrade his bloodline.

Raizel and the little prince fought and killed each other in the star realm, and recently planned to join forces with the Githzerai to deal with the Lich Queen Vlaakis.

Karak embarked on an adventurous journey across Faerûn. The same goes for Minsala. They occasionally work together, but they always end up on bad terms. Jaheira and Minsk are active in Baldur's Gate as Harpers.

Speaking of Baldur's Gate, since the Supreme God was taken away by Linde, the spiritual wave equipment that spread throughout the city has become ineffective.

Local citizens really miss the magical brain-computer patch. Constantine said he considered transforming himself into the Mastermind, which would allow citizens to use psychic tools again. He and Belina are still running the company.

Anzu has returned to the Dragon's Chamber, and will begin to sleep until the next heir knocks on the door.

There was a bard playing music at tonight's banquet. It was not Varro, but a strange man named Miriel.

"Isn't this Mr. Miriel, the King of Ten Thousand Songs?" Linde greeted with a smile, "Please play music for us."

"Finally, I have someone who knows the stuff! A cultured adventurer, what can I do for you?"

Myriel is a true god, the patron saint of singers and bards. He was assassinated by Cyric, and Jaeger resurrected him in exchange for being an accompaniment to the banquet.

Asking a true god to perform live, the old man is really proud of himself.

Lind nodded to Miriel, "Let's change it to a piece that no one has heard before."

"Of course, as you wish."

Everyone drank and dined to the music of Myriel. They drank to their heart's content and danced in the open space until late at night, when everyone was exhausted.

The tombkeeper came out and gave a closing speech, and the banquet ended there.

At the end, Lind gave everyone a silver key, including Miriel and Jaeger.

"What's this?"

"A gift, a voucher. You can pass it to Delinriel at any time. I will always welcome you. Let this joyous gathering never end, no matter the ends of the world, no matter hell, heaven, or the multiverse, you can come to me anytime you want. beside.

"Goodbye, friends."

The tower king stood up, waved his hand and opened a blue door, and disappeared into the sea-colored light. (End of chapter)
