People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 376 Resurrection Stone Tablet, Cracking Helmet

Is there anything worth seeking in Neverwinter?
Undoubtedly, even if you ask 1 people, they will all answer that the most precious thing in Neverwinter is Neverwinter itself.

The Pearl of the North, the City of Skillful Hands, the reputation of this city condensed with countless histories and legends resounded throughout the Sword Coast and even the continent of Faerun.

Owning Neverwinter City means a steady stream of money, as well as significant power.

Moreover, because of Neverwinter's unique geographical location, it can even be used as a base point to radiate the Sword Coast and even the surrounding sea.

No ambitious person would miss the opportunity to take over Neverwinter.

Tang Sen is an ambitious man, and his first thought was naturally Neverwinter itself.

However, he soon realized that the position of the city lord of Neverwinter would not help him as much as it seemed.

Townsend does not need to rely on the taxes of Neverwinter to create wealth for himself, because he is the richest person in Faerun, and wealth is just a number to him.

And the power to control Neverwinter——

Corresponding to power is strength, if there is not enough strength, the consequence is to stand on the cusp of the storm, and then fall into a long sleep because of conspiracy just like the previous City Lord of Neverwinter.

"However, this is indeed a good opportunity to win over Neverwinter."

Tang Sen pondered: "I don't need to stand in front of the stage by myself, I just need to let people who are loyal to me control Neverwinter City. For example, perform an operation on the former Neverwinter City Lord."

This is a foreshadowing casually. Although it seems that it doesn't help him too much for the time being, it doesn't hurt him anyway.

"Besides, I remember that during the Scorching Sun Contest, two good things will appear in Neverwinter."

"Resurrection Stone Tablet, and Cracking Helmet."

The resurrection stone tablet is a one-time magic prop, which contains a nine-ring spell-complete resurrection.

Just like the literal meaning, the complete resurrection technique can completely revive a living being, as long as its death time does not exceed 200 years, and the cause of death is not old age, it can call back its soul and reshape its body.

Resurrection from the dead is not a common thing in any world. Although it is slightly common in a world like Faerun Continent where the boundary between life and death is not so clear, it has nothing to do with ordinary people. Only spellcasters have this ability.

Priests with five rings or above can cast the resurrection of the dead. Unfortunately, this magic is extremely limited and can only be resurrected with the help of corpses in a short period of time. Once the soul of the dead leaves Faerun, there is nothing they can do. (Note 1)

What's more, the resurrection stone tablet is effective immediately, and it doesn't need to spend tens of thousands of gold coins worth of casting materials and up to an hour of casting time like the complete resurrection technique.

It can be seen from this that this magic item is so powerful that no big shot would mind spending hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins to prepare one for himself to save his life.

Naturally, Tang Sen was no exception. Just having one extra life was enough for him to take action.

As for the cracking helmet, this is a legendary item, and its value is higher than that of the resurrection stone tablet.

It is no exaggeration to say that this thing is the nemesis of all spellcasters. Of course, its maker is also a spellcaster - the famous Mordencan.

This helmet can release an anti-magic pulse with a radius close to 100 meters, destroying all magic potions and scrolls except its own, making the effects of all magic items disappear temporarily, not only that, all spells on creatures, items, and areas immediately interrupts, even if they are only partially within range of the pulse.

Of course, if you want to use this helmet, you need powerful magic power. Moreover, after using this helmet once, it needs to cool down for at least a week.

But even so, I am afraid that no one can refuse such a powerful wonder.

For Tang Sen, who wants to explore the ruins of the most powerful magic empire in history, he is determined to get this helmet. He can fully predict how helpful the ability to crack the helmet will be for his procurement task.

"The resurrection stone tablet should be in the hands of the current city lord Fudge. Before the scorching sun competition, this person was inseparable from the nine-ringed red-robed mage. If he wants to get the resurrection stone tablet, he can only wait for the scorching sun competition. Go and intercept when you are running."

Tang Sen didn't plan to meet with the Nine Rings mage, just let Serre's red-robed mage bite dogs.

"It's much easier to crack the helmet. At this point in time, the group of adventurers should have obtained the helmet, and they just need to snatch it from them."

Having made up his mind, Tang Sen looked back at the priest who was looking anxious.

The other party didn't know that Tang Sen had thought about so many things in this short period of time, and even made a rough plan for the next step, thinking that Tang Sen was thinking about whether to execute himself.

"I, I will never tell the captain what happened today." He said tremblingly: "Believe me, I have no threat to you."

"My trust is never based on words." Tang Sen said calmly: "If you want me to rest assured, you have to do it my way."

"However, for now, let's go back to Moonstone Mask."

"I hope you're really ready to speak with the dead."

The pastor trembled suddenly: "Of course!"

A group of people walked out of the box. In fact, from the beginning of the conversation to the present, even including the battle in the middle, it did not exceed 10 minutes, but the situation at this time is very different from before.

"So in life, the most important thing is to make a choice." Bain played with the heart in his hand, glanced at the pastor who was slightly bent over, and no longer had the previous arrogant posture, and said: "A wrong choice is enough to make people into the abyss."

Maris also heard this sentence, and his face was a little complicated.

What happened today, if you say that you are not responsible, then it must be unreasonable. Fortunately, Tang Sen is very powerful. If he were replaced by other people, he might kill him.

He could also see the subtle change in Tang Sen's attitude towards him afterwards.

So when he walked out of the Three Bears Bar, Maris stopped in his tracks, with a stiff smile on his face, and said, "I won't go with you guys. It happened that Old Ball sent some bottles of beer, so I have to relax. "

"That's such a pity." Tang Sen also stopped, turned around and said in a gentle voice, "Don't take what happened just now to your heart. I still thank you for your help."

"You deserve that money, so enjoy your night."

A gleam of hope suddenly appeared in Maris's eyes: "Then, Mr. Townsend, next time—"

Tang Sen interrupted him, and said in a gentle but undeniable tone: "I believe that as long as there is fate, we will be able to meet again."

Maris turned pale. As a wanderer, how could he not understand what Tang Sen meant?

No matter how gentle and friendly the other party's attitude was, it was completely different from before.

I completely lost the opportunity to walk with this powerful spellcaster from another world. The upcoming legendary adventures and the huge wealth within my fingertips have nothing to do with me.

"Maybe Carmelo's choice is the right one." This idea popped up in Maris's mind for no reason: "It's just that I was blinded by interests, and instead wasted the last friendship."

He forced a smile, bent towards Tang Sen, and saluted solemnly.

"Then, I wish Mr. Townsend all the best in his adventures in this world."

"I really hope to see you again."

　Note 1: The original resurrection setting is too easy, which is just right for running group games, but it is unreasonable for novels, so this book increases the difficulty and conditions of resurrection spells.
