Broad World

It was the first time for Henry to hear someone criticize the first voter of the Goddess of Magic so much, and he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Hahahahaha! It's so funny, I think Elminster will be so angry when he hears it It's all up. But you should listen to his own understanding of magic, that is, a really learned wizard should know when to avoid using his magic power."

After hearing this, Viconia frowned slightly: "What do you mean? Why should you avoid using magic? Don't mages rely on those powerful spells to gain the awe of ordinary people?"

"No, no, no, this sentence is not understood in this way. What Elminster means is that as a knowledgeable and wise mage, once encountering a problem, he must first use his wisdom, through communication, exchange, and even deception To achieve your own goals, not just abuse the power of magic. Although his method is somewhat conservative, it can exercise the mage's resilience, which I personally think is not bad." Henry explained patiently after laughing .

It is true that this approach like Elminster's can reduce the occurrence of battles, which is very useful for low-level mages who lack spell slots, but it is useless for high-level (mage) mages above level 15. Could it be that a legendary spellcaster had to go up to negotiate after encountering a sneak attack by kobold robbers? It would be much easier to kill all of them with one "Death Cloud Technique", so why waste that tongue.

Be tough when you should be tough, and be decisive when you should be decisive. In Henry's view, the great sage of Shadow Valley's heart is old. Although the power of silver fire has allowed him to live for thousands of years, the soul has a limit after all. If not, he still needs to fulfill his duty. obligation. Elminster must have found a place where no one was around and lived in seclusion.

"Huh! Wisdom? I'm afraid he has never experienced real despair. Otherwise, he would never say such a stupid thing. In the face of truly powerful power, the so-called wisdom is just a joke." Viconia narrowed her eyes and mocked.

Henry shook his head slightly noncommittally: "Maybe, but Elminster is not alone. Behind him are the Goddess of Magic, the Harper Alliance, the Seven Sisters, the Silvermoon Alliance, and Waterdeep City, which almost covers the west coast. All the forces in the north, I don't want any conflict with them yet."

"So it's impossible for you to change your mind?" Viconia's face was a little ugly, and there was a complicated light in her eyes.

"That's right, and you'd better make a choice between me and Shar now." Henry finally chose the showdown at this moment. He didn't want to have a scene of betrayal in the team, because that would be too dangerous. Moreover, the price to be paid is too great, it is better to make a break here.

Viconia gritted her teeth hard, summoned up the courage to raise her head and asked, "If I choose Shar, would you kill me immediately?" Her eyes flickered a little, and she was obviously in conflict deep in her heart, and she didn't know what to do. No decision was made on which side to favor.

Henry smiled and shook his head: "No, no, there is no need for us to get to this point. At most, you will leave the team, that's all."

"That's it?" Viconia couldn't believe it. As a dark elf who has been rolling in conspiracy and tricks all year round. She never thought that she could survive after choosing to betray,

"Of course. Do I have to fuck you first and then kill you? I don't seem to be that perverted yet?" Henry asked back very funny. Only when he faced the dark elf priestess in front of him did he dare to say such blunt words, since the other party would not care at all anyway.

"Fuck first and then kill?" Viconia suddenly showed a weird smile and leaned over, pressing her ear tightly and gasping softly. "Maybe... I can fulfill the first half of your wish. How about it, want to try?"

Henry didn't understand what this meant at all, tentatively stretched out a hand to hold up the charming black face, gently stroked the smooth skin on it and asked, "Why, did you decide to choose me between the two? ?”

The tips of their noses were close and they looked into each other's eyes. After a few seconds, Viconia burst out laughing suddenly: "Haha, you are indeed the smartest and most fascinating man I have ever met .That's right, I chose you, but you have to help me solve the problem of losing the divine spell after betraying the goddess, and the surveillance magic on this cloak."

"Fair enough, it wasn't too difficult for me, but there's a good chance the cape will take some damage."

Hearing this answer, Henry finally breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, this was the perfect result, and he really didn't want to lose such a close (lover) lover and adventure partner. After all, such aggressive women are not easy to find, and they will definitely be my good helpers in the future.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can get rid of Shar's surveillance, it's fine to destroy it completely." Viconia shrugged her shoulders indifferently. Very rarely, she didn't even show any reluctance to this powerful magical cloak, as if it was just a piece of tatters.

You must know that the powerful enchantment on it makes even a legendary mage like Henry covet. As a dark elf woman who has not yet become a legendary priest, she can be so decisive, which is really admirable. As the saying goes, if you are willing to give up, you will gain if you give up.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Henry didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened his arms and used the curse fire he had just mastered, forcefully poured into the cloak, and completely expelled the pure dark divine power belonging to Shar. After just a few seconds, the originally dark and bright color became much dimmer, and the faint hazy feeling disappeared completely.

Obviously, it has lost most of its protective ability at this moment, and it has become no different from an ordinary magic cloak.

Without further ado, Henry cast a "discernment technique" directly, and soon found that there was only one enchantment left on it, and that was "immunity to non-magical weapons". As for immunity to "imprisonment", "time stop" and escape into the shadows All of his abilities, all of them left together with Shar's divine power.

There was nothing he could do about it, so he could only helplessly spread his hands: "Sorry, this cloak only has a little bit of magic protection left. Besides, you can try to take it off now."

"So fast?" Viconia had an incredible expression on her face. Since her back was turned just now, she didn't see anything. I just felt a powerful force appearing behind me. It's over in the blink of an eye.

"Try it and you'll know. Anyway, as long as Shar's divine power remains, you will definitely not be able to take off this cloak." Henry kindly reminded.

Viconia was a man of action, she quickly undid the button around her neck without any hesitation, and took it off with little effort. She exclaimed in amazement: "It's incredible! It's the first time I took it off since I put it on, and you actually did it."

"Hehe, I'm a man of my word. Now let's solve the second thing, which is the problem of magic." Henry's mouth was slightly upturned, showing a very strange smile. "You give up your faith in Shar right now. Then start trying to pray to me."

"You?!" Viconia frowned slightly. "You still seem to be a mortal? How can you accept faith and bestow divine spells?!"

As a senior priest, she knew very well that only those official gods with priesthood, or powerful creatures from different planes, such as demon lords and devil princes, had such abilities. Otherwise, even if they are powerful, mortals are just mortals, and it is impossible to give power to believers.

Henry smiled playfully, without any explanation, just urged: "Come and try it, I guarantee you will find a big surprise."

"Okay. Since you are so confident..." After speaking, Viconia closed her eyes, and it didn't take long before she entered a state of concentration. And in a very short time, the dark power belonging to Shar began to shake.

This is a mirror image that only happens after the faith is shaken. It usually happens to believers who are completely disappointed in the gods, but those talented priests can forcefully guide them, such as the scene in front of them. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes abruptly, the veins near her temples bulged, and countless energies were quickly stripped out, and quickly dissipated into the air.

The whole process was very short, but to Viconia it seemed like centuries. Tiredness, emptiness and loneliness came to my heart all of a sudden, this is the price of the pastor's loss of faith. Although she had already had a similar experience, she still felt very painful. She held back the tears in her eyes and came to Henry, kneeling very solemnly He knelt down and began to chant in a low voice.

"You are my Lord, my only one."

"You are a guide in the wilderness, a guiding light in the dark."

"I long for your protection and am willing to carry your sacred cause."

"I am extremely devout and eager to get your approval."

...

As the voice became more and more urgent, Viconia seemed to have entered a special state, and her eyes inadvertently revealed fanatical admiration. It didn't take long before she knew that she was kissing Henry's robe and the back of his hand. Like a fanatic who is not quite normal.

At the same time, Henry clenched the artifact "Scepter of Faith" in his pocket, and gradually felt a bridge of faith connecting him with the dark elf priest in front of him. He raised his other hand, pressed it lightly on the other person's forehead, and announced in a low voice: "Viconia, a devout believer, now I bestow the priest's power."

As soon as the words fell, a majestic force poured into Viconia's body in an instant. Different from the dark and evil power of Shar, this is absolutely neutral, and even has a little bit of kind energy. In the blink of an eye, several new magic spells have been formed. She first glanced at her hands in disbelief, then stood up and shouted excitedly: "Can you bestow divine spells?!!!! You can actually bestow divine spells!!!"

"Ha, this actually doesn't have much to do with me. Its power comes from a powerful artifact. That's all for this topic. How do you feel now? Are there any discomforts?"

Henry obviously didn't want to tell the secret of the "Scepter of Faith", so he simply responded and changed the topic directly. He bestowed Viconia with fifteen levels of priests at one time, which is already the limit that the scepter's current power of faith can bear. After all, only about a hundred vampires are replenishing, and it is already very difficult to achieve this level. easy. (to be continued..)
