The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 48: Forbidden Spell of Destruction
Cindy nodded helplessly.
The two came to a deserted place.
The dragon priest sorted out his thoughts and slowly said:
“Before I tell you the most important part, you must know one thing.
In Mystra, there once was a very ancient country.
Its name is "Tarun."
Roger said calmly:
"I already know that."
Cindy was not surprised.
She just nodded, and then asked with a smile in her eyes:
"Do you know if there are other prehistoric civilizations besides Tarun?"
Roger shook his head honestly.
The dragon priest looked directly at Roger with his exotic eyes, and his tone gradually became serious:
"The Ether Society."
"This is another name for a prehistoric civilization."
Roger raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Magical civilization?"
In Mystra, Ether is an old name for the Elements.
Cindy affirmed, “Indeed.”
“According to the information we have, Talen was once the ruler of Mystra, and the king of Talen owned all the territories of this planet.
Until the disaster struck——
I believe you have heard about it from other places. It is a very terrifying "forbidden spell of world destruction".
The forbidden spell destroyed Tarun.
Mystra has since been plagued by magical pollution, and only a very few people survived the disaster.
Terrible magical pollution has made the environment of this planet no longer habitable.
But at the same time, it also quickly gave birth to a more prosperous magical civilization.
The leader of this magical civilization is the "Etheric Society" I just mentioned.
Not long after.
The "Ethereal Society" replaced Talen's rule and became the supreme regime of Mystra.
But……"
At this point, Roger, who had already had a bad feeling, slowly continued the conversation:
"But the Ether Society has also become a prehistoric civilization."
Cindy pursed her lips and nodded unconsciously:
"That's right."
"The Ether Society was also destroyed by the forbidden spell of world destruction."
"This is the secret I want to tell you - the forbidden spell of world destruction does not only happen once."
Roger took a deep breath.
Following Cindy's description, his thoughts jumped rapidly.
"Taren and the Ether Society were destroyed by the "Forbidden Spell of Destruction" at two different points in time."
"If there is a first time, there will be a second time, and naturally there will be..."
"Third time!"
That moment.
Roger's face turned extremely ugly.
What a bad secret!
If what Cindy said was true, then Mistra's situation was ten thousand times worse than he had imagined!
"When will the third forbidden spell of world destruction be cast?"
After a while, he calmed down and asked.
Cindy's long eyelashes trembled slightly:
"After I kill Humphran, I'll tell you the exact time."
"If you're interested, we can chat about some gossip."
Roger was silent for a while, his voice somewhat dry:
"good."
"The value of this secret...is indeed enough."
…
From Cindy's mouth.
Roger received three secret messages about the "Forbidden Spell of Destruction".
The first one is about the forbidden spell of destruction itself.
Destroy the two forbidden spells of destruction learned by Tarun and Ether.
In fact, it is the manifestation of a spell in two time periods.
in other words.
The forbidden spell released by the gods not only wiped out Mistra in all directions in space.
The same is true in terms of time.
…
The second and third items are both related to the "Etheric Society".
After the destruction of Talen.
The "Ether Society" once conducted in-depth research on the forbidden spell of world destruction.
Their leader wrote the valuable research content into a manuscript.
Unfortunately, the second forbidden spell came too suddenly, and the manuscript was buried in the dust of history.
Sitaroya Muse's mother is a powerful Emerald Dragon Lord.
She once visited the leader of the Etheric Society.
According to her memory.
The manuscript was kept in a floating laboratory, guarded by a large number of arcane constructs.
After the fall of the Aether Society, the Emerald Dragon Lord went to the ruins to look for the manuscript.
Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful.
And before the second world-destroying forbidden spell came.
Some mages who were extremely crisis-aware predicted the arrival of the forbidden spell in advance.
They plan to work together to build a "Golden House" that is immune to magic, hoping to use it to survive this disaster.
But some accidents happened during the casting of the Golden House.
Later, the matter was left unresolved.
The Emerald Dragon Lord had also searched for traces of the Golden House.
But due to some special reasons, she was forced to leave the ruins of the Ether Society.
Finally, after giving birth to Muse's nest of dragon eggs, she left Mystra.
The remains of the Ether Society are now called—
Jewel City.
…
Tarun. Qingquan Sect Headquarters. Etheric Society.
All clues point to the Gem City.
This made Roger feel a little itchy.
This night.
He stayed awake all night.
All brain cells were active to the extreme, repeatedly pondering the deep logic hidden behind this information.
Why do gods want to destroy the world?
The mages of the Ether Society encountered an accident while building the Golden House, but was it really just an accident?
Where are the Golden House and the secret manuscript now?
How did Sitaroya Muse's mother survive the forbidden spell of world destruction? Did she resist it with her physical body?
Cindy mentioned that she left Mystra and went to other planets.
So how did she do it?
…
Roger felt as if there was a Hundred Thousand Whys going on full blast in his head.
There are so many things he wants to know!
He repeatedly forced himself to calm down and stop thinking about it, and finally he fell asleep at dawn.
The next evening.
Roger put these problems aside for the time being and embarked on the path of assassinating Humphrey.
Head north along Lettuce Avenue.
Then, following Cindy's instructions, we turned east.
After walking for more than ten miles, Roger saw some low buildings in the reeds.
This is the gathering place for refugees from the marshland.
After the gray dwarves poured into Yellowstone Island, they had violent conflicts with the refugees.
Humphran originally wanted to join forces with the gray dwarves.
Who would have thought that the grumpy gray dwarves would drive away the refugees from the swamp first.
Nowadays.
Humphrey built a village on the eastern side of Yellowstone Island to absorb the countless refugees from the swamp.
After leaving Yellowstone Island.
His power seems to be growing.
The sky gradually darkened.
Taking cover from the reeds, Roger gradually approached the village of the refugees in the marshland.
Along the way, he saw many refugees from the swamps.
These people are very slovenly in appearance.
Although it has a similar appearance to humans, the aura it exudes is not much different from that of a monster.
Like the gray dwarves, the swamp dwellers also have tumors of varying sizes growing on their necks.
They seem to have difficulty controlling their emotions.
Roger had seen the marshland refugees fighting .
Their eyes were dull and their faces were numb.
Sometimes they just stand there motionless, like statues.
But sometimes they would act like zombies and bite any creature that approached them.
Roger silently tested it with the Sin Mark.
really.
In the determination of the Mark of Sin, the Swamp Refugees were classified as "Monsters".
However, he did not attack these people, but quietly walked around them.
night.
Outside the marshland village, in a heavily guarded orchard.
With the help of the skill of Tiyunzong, Roger easily climbed over the five-meter-high wall and entered the orchard.
A rich and fiery scent of magic hits you in the face.
"Such a high abundance of magic power."
Roger pinched his nose and touched one of the fruit trees.
The fruit trees are covered with sparse yellow fruits.
He picked one up at random and examined it in his palm.
…
"Filthy Fire Orange (Magic Abundance 13): A highly distorted magical plant, eat with caution."
…
