Master of Spells from Faerun

Chapter 104 The Prophecy of the End of the World
The next day, Imric put away [Leomond's Cabin] after a good rest.

The three of them passed through the northwest door in the hall. The inextinguishable flame lamp behind the door was destroyed and all lost their light. Imric summoned a ball of light, and the three of them climbed up the stairs to the top floor .

The top floor of the Tower of Mysteries is a very wide hall, and the sign in front of the door reads [Mystery Library].

Imrik pushed open the door, and behind it was a two-story grand lobby, this bright lobby was 40 feet high.The interior walls made of clear glass extend from the four corners of the room to the center, and the height is from the floor to the ceiling.

There are thousands of small squares on these walls, and there are additional branching walls with the same squares on them.In the center of the room stood a small marble platform a few feet high.Surrounding the platform, the four interior walls terminate with four crystal busts resting on glass plinths.

Imrik excitedly entered and checked the small squares, trying to find the mysterious knowledge belonging to the ancient star elves.

It is a pity that there is a pentagonal gap in the center of each square, but there is nothing in the middle. Obviously, no matter what was originally stored here, it has disappeared.

Imrik walked towards the crystal busts in the four corners. These statues all looked like old elves.

"This is."

He stroked the forehead of the crystal head, there was a pentagonal gap in the originally smooth forehead, he thought of the gaps of the same shape in those small squares, obviously things that once appeared there could be used to place them.

Imrik walked to the fourth statue, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a crystal clear pentagonal transparent gemstone on the forehead of the statue. It seemed that the person who took these gemstones had forgotten the gemstone on the forehead.

He reached out to touch the gemstone, and there was a gleam of light, the whole statue was lit with indigo light, and a complicated message was sent to Imrik's mind.

It turned out that this pentagonal gemstone was called "Tears of the King". Imrik remembered that he had read "Anecdotes and Anecdotes from the Faerun Continent" written by Valo, which described this extremely rare gemstone.

King's Tear is an exceptionally rare and extremely hard gemstone in Faerûn.This gem has been shown to be indestructible by furnaces or anvils.This tear-shaped gem is not only crystal clear inside, but also has a smooth surface, and is sometimes called "Frozen Tears" or "Lich's Cry".

Legend has it that they were the tears of a long-dead necromancer king, and each gem contains images of loved ones and horrific events, whatever it was that brought the king to tears.

Star elves use some kind of special magic to compress all kinds of knowledge into gems, and carry out extremely complex encryption. Unless the gems are placed in front of the statue, there is no way to decipher the inner knowledge without destroying the gems .

This leftover gem does not record any knowledge about the mysteries of spells. On the contrary, it records the truth about the disappearance of the star elves in this demiplane.

In ancient times, the elves were the rulers of Faerun. However, hundreds of years ago, the elves started a great migration that shocked the continent, which was also known as the [Great Retreat].

The elves withdrew to the hometown of elves on the endless sea [Eternal Gathering Island], and formed an elite army [Phoenix Guard] to help the elf settlements on the mainland that could not be evacuated retreat or gain a foothold.

Thousands of creatures have never been clear about the reason for the retreat of the elves. They have speculated that the heavy losses of the elves were caused by the attack of the giant dragon. Coupled with the rise of humans, the elves sensed the threat and tried to shrink their defenses and consolidate themselves.

In this jewel, as the high elves of the elves, the star elves clearly recorded the real reason for the retreat of the elves.

In the thousands of years of the elves' history, countless powerful prophecy masters have left various prophecies about the future of the elves, and these prophecies have been bound into a book - "The Secret of Tirantil".

In this secret tome, a prophecy written by the wise man Galaris Durrose became a crucial factor for the great retreat of the elves.

This is—【Finale】.

"The end is coming,
Coming because of the seven plagues,
obeying the command of his lord,
the scale of the proliferation war,
On them alone man stands,

To announce the verdict with the people,

In light or in darkness the world will be reborn. "

The elves are convinced that the end of the world caused by this prophecy, the elves will stand on the continent as the savior and turn the tide, but what makes them unpredictable is that this prophecy asserts that human beings who were still weak at that time will become crucial. important link.

The attitude of mankind towards the so-called "Lord of the Seven Plagues" determines whether the end of the world will be "bright" or "dark".

Imrik sneered at this after reading it. This so-called "end of the world" still needs a human team. If it really comes to the end of the world, use your brain to know that it is impossible for humans to stand on the side of the destroyer.

Imrik buckled the gem and put it in his dimensional pocket. The prophecy in this gem was too far away from him, and its authenticity was questionable. He seriously suspected that the so-called "end of the world" was just the end of the elves themselves.

[Mystery Library] Another door in the lobby opens to a glass trestle bridge that connects to another island. This high-altitude glass trestle bridge is like a slide that keeps sliding until it reaches the ground of another island.

The three of Imrik took the glass trestle to the third island. Unlike the first two islands, the third island was a low glass building.

The low-slung structure is an opaque glass dome rising above the waves of the sea.There are three protrusions on the outside, and the lowest ground platform is connected to the glass trestle bridge at the top of the [Tower of Mystery].

The gate of the building has a sign with the words [Morel's Tomb], and there is an inexplicably cold atmosphere.

According to the orcs, this building is probably used by the star elves to perform rituals and burials for their dead kin.

After the black dragon occupied this place, it shamelessly dug up all the corpses of star elves buried in the building and made it into its own undead army. The first [Tower of Welcome] and the elf undead creatures in his lair all came from here .

A large dark hall opened after opening a double door.At the top of the almost invisible dome, the very faint light from another tower barely penetrated through this transparent dome, while the rest of the room was completely hidden in shadow.The twilight revealed a grotesque black figure occupying the center of the room.

"Crack", a sound like a crystal impact came from the black shadow, feeling the presence of the intruder, the black shadow moved.
