Chapter 1261: ?chat

In these three weeks, after Howard picked up Tony, Su Ming naturally did not stay on the earth forever. He continued his plan.
That is to go to the world of Faerun to find Ilminster, the elect of the goddess of magic, trying to find a way to use the spider totem through the knowledge of the magic web.
Entering the crystal wall system this time is much smoother than the last time. There is no who even had time to look at the invaders, who are busy handling their affairs.
civil war.
Yes, the iconic battle of the gods, the gods launched a civil war covering the entire world based on their doctrines and camps.
In fact, the essence of everything lies in the struggle for the power of belief. Various creatures can provide the power of belief, and these beliefs are accepted by the gods to form the power of gods, so population becomes a kind of resource.
The world of Faerun is so big, and counting the different planes occupied by the Lords of Hell, there is a fixed number of people that can feed.
The more you get, the less I get, and the power of faith is related to the promotion of the gods. As always, more is better, so competition is inevitable.
Faith is power and poison, some gods understand it, and some don't. Anyway, in Su Ming's view, the system of believing in gods binds the relationship between gods and people, which is really a hidden danger.
But all of this has nothing to do with him, Faerun World is not in the overall plan, or in other words, there is no important strategic position.
If Phelan is a complete cake, it is worth a little bit.
But this cake was divided by the guys named gods, and even after eating it, Su Ming didn't bother to pick the cake out of their stomachs, or wait for them to die and dig it out of the body.
There is something in the world, but a world with a mess of local beliefs in gods is hard to control.
In fact, Su Ming was a little bit worried before returning to Ilminster for help. After all, Ilminster was a voter of the goddess of magic, Mystra, whether his own behavior of exploring the principle of the magic net would cause any disputes.
Fortunately, Mystra is also very busy now, she is standing on the side of the elven system against the evil camp.
When he was found in Ilminster’s mill-like residence, the great sage of Shadow Valley was dozing off with a long pipe as always, and there were breakfast soup stains on the patched robe, and his beard followed. My breath trembled slightly.
The hole Xili stepped on the floor last time was still there, and it seemed that it had not been repaired at all. Judging from the color of the wood at the fracture, it should have been several years.
"You're back? Young traveler." Ilminster remembered him, this weird and interesting young man.
Obviously, like all planeswalkers, the death knell has already ignited the fire and is qualified to become a god, but after so many years, the fire is still just a fire.
He did not choose to collect beliefs to become a god, and use the world as a card to fight others.
But Ilminster felt that the death knell had become stronger, much stronger than when he came last time. He connected the time and destiny of a world to himself, in a way that no great sage could understand, Embarked on an alternative road.
"Hello, Master, I'm here to tell you good news." Su Ming removed his mask and revealed his face.
"Oh? What good news? Exciting adventure story? I can exchange gold coins and magic items." Ilminster smiled and opened the space bag, took out a few pieces of equipment that exuded magical aura, put it On the desktop aside.
He was still thinking about the ‘ghost blowing the lamp’ story told by the death knell before.
The story was obviously not finished. The last time it was about the death knell and his teammates breaking out of the ancient city, but as far as Ilminster knows, as long as the adventurer is alive, he is always eager for the next adventure. There must be a follow-up.
Su Ming also remembered this. At that time, it was to change Ilminster's space bag, so he changed the ghost blowing lamp and put it on his body. Unexpectedly, the old man was still in the pit, and he was still thinking about it all these years.
"The story of Longling Miku will be told later. I came here to let you help me see this thing."
With that, the death knell took out the spider totem from his pocket.
Seeing the spider-like sculpture, Ilminster frowned for the first time. In the world of Faerun, the spider only represents one existence, that is, the evil believed by the dark elves, the spider in the of the abyss, Luo wire.
Although Rose and Mystra are not old enemies, their relationship is very poor, because Rose and Lady Shar of the Night are closer. They are all evil camps, and they are all the gods of the dungeons in the dark regions.
In addition to the "Shadow Magic Net" created by Shar, it is an attempt to replace Mystra. Its existence means that the followers of Shar can bypass the supervision of Mystra and use magic at will, as long as they give Shar Provide the power of faith.
This can be regarded as digging the foot of the wall, no, digging for life, Mystra is counting on the magic net to eat.
But when a small toothpick-like totem was handed to Ilminster, he found that it was not what he thought it was. This small wooden stick carried a completely unfamiliar power, like a spider's silk. At the beginning, it spanned more than a lot of space and was placed in his hands.
"This is..." Ilminster took out his glasses and put it on his nose to study the totem carefully: "Unknown text, strange power, what is it connected with? Is it a kingdom of God? ?"
Su Ming raised his hand and shook it, motioning the old mage to calm down: "I can tell you everything I know, but how to use this thing is what I hope you can solve for me."
So he explained to Ilminster the origin of the spider totem, as well as the understanding of the spider web and the spider universe, and told the old mage that he hoped to use this prop to implement a journey across the infinite universe.
Not alone, but traveling with a force.
Ilminster thought for a while, his knuckles rubbed against the table on the side, as if he was going to get a water glass but couldn't reach.
After a while he stopped his hand: "I thought you would choose the magic ship, but I didn't expect you to even look down on that thing."
"The largest recorded magic ship can hold 400 people at most, and I want more." Su Ming pointed to the totem with his chin, indicating to continue the previous topic: "Then what do you see from this?"
"There is a way. If I'm just a mere mage, maybe I can't think of how to use this thing. But thanks to my part-time job as a third-level priest when I was young, I have a different understanding of how the energy of the gods works.
Spider ancient god? Shenli Network? Another world connection?
Although this energy attribute is very unfamiliar, it comes from another in another world, so it's not the same as the priests.
He can perceive what it is connected to. Although the signal is weak, this method is feasible. Through the magical skill of communicating with the gods, and then tricking the gods into letting it connect to the kingdom of God, that is, the death knell said "online".
Ilminster had dealt with many gods and demon kings when he was young, and he believed that it would not be difficult to lie to another god.
He just didn't figure out one thing. He picked up the totem and put it on the table:
"I still don't quite understand, what exactly are you pursuing? Is it because the goal is too big that I can't see the whole picture?"
Su Ming sat down. Opposite the old mage, a small stove was burning in the gloomy attic. He watched the fire inside.
"In the beginning, I just wanted to live, so I surpassed death. Later, I wanted to live well, so I surpassed time. Now, I want my friends and relatives to live well, so the only way out is Beyond the future~EbookFREE.me~ Beyond all possibilities, beyond the limits of my own past. Many people don’t know what my plan is, just because they can’t see what I’m surpassing, but I think you should understand, What is the way of transcendence."
"Is that really the case?" Ilminster's gaze peeked from above his glasses, his wrinkled face was rare and serious: "For relatives and friends? IMHO, you are not like that kind of person."
"The people of Faerun, who were raised as food by the gods, gave up their belief in surpassing the gods, and the fate of mankind." Su Ming approached the fire to light a cigarette, and let out a puff of smoke indifferently: "I am educated. It’s not tall, it’s incomparable to a great sage like you, but I know that people live for struggle and resistance. As a human being, fighting against the sky is not very interesting?"
Ilminster closed his eyes and leaned on his recliner as if he was asleep. After a while, he closed his eyes and said:
"Has anyone said that you seem a little crazy?"
"Secret." Su Ming smiled and stuffed the wine bottle into the hands of the old mage: "Deal?"
The mage did not speak. A few minutes later, two wine bottles collided gently in the attic.
