When the war between the phaerinn and the arcanist completely broke out.
Iolum followed the passage they took to the ground and quietly sneaked into the base camp of the phaerimm without the Arcanist or the phaerinn knowing about it.
He didn't just come here.
Iolum has been living here for more than four years disguised as a phaerinn.
Almost as soon as Garen found Karsus, he sneaked into the realm of the phaerim and never left again.
Here, whatever the Phaelings eat, Iolum eats. Whatever the Phaelings use to communicate, Iolum also uses the same method... Gradually, this The King of Arcanists has integrated into the phaerimm's tribe and has a deep understanding of the culture, habits, character, abilities, etc. of the phaerimm's tribe.
Not a single phaerinn noticed anything strange.
There are many legendary-level individuals in this group, but there are no demigod-level beings like Iolum.
Therefore, facing a King of Arcanists who can kill everyone but wants to sneak in secretly, they have no good solution.
"Elder Allen, Philip sends his regards."
A passing Felin magic sunflower stopped, controlled the wind to form a specific frequency, and said to Iolum.
This is a language spoken by the phaerim clan.
They communicate with the wind.
As for telepathy, it is an ability used when communicating with other races. Telepathy is rarely used among the Felin Demon Kui family.
Iolum nodded slightly, and also used the frequency of the wind to form a language, asking about the battle situation between the opponent on the surface and the Floating City Empire.
"Those evil arcanists are no match for our magic-draining powers."
"If nothing happens, their city will fall from the sky sooner or later."
"It's just that it is said that they have a very powerful arcanist leader who has lived for thousands of years and is called the King of Arcanists."
"The King of Arcanists has never shown up. He is a threat. Other than that, there is nothing to worry about."
Faced with Iolum's inquiry, Felin Mokui answered respectfully.
There are also different social classes within the phaerimm.
And the strong are strong everywhere.
Iolum's charisma cannot be underestimated.
Iolum, who used the alias Allen and joined the Phaylings' tribe for several years. After being promoted step by step, he has become an elder of the Temple of the Phaylings and has thousands of Phaylings following him.
The Demon Kui Temple is the high-level organization of the Felin Demon Kui.
All are composed of legendary and above phaerim demon sunflowers.
As one of the elders of Mo Kui, Iolum can now be said to have successfully penetrated into the enemy's top leadership.
If his purpose was not to seize power, in a few years, this generation of Demon King might have been replaced by him.
For now, with the prestige of 'Elder Allen' within the ethnic group, if he raises his hand and calls out, there will still be many Felin Demon Kui who will respond to his call.
"King of Arcanists?"
"Don't worry about him. If he dares to show up, I will personally take action and let him know the power of our magic sunflower."
Mo Kui, who looked like a big meat insect, shook his head and said calmly.
After hearing Iolum's words, the little Demon Kui next to him showed a look of admiration, completely unaware that their biggest enemy was right in front of it.
Immediately.
Iolum moves through the field of magic sunflowers.
Not long after, he came to a black pool with bubbles like asphalt.
In this pool, if you can look through the surface, you can see fleshy insects the size of a thumb under the dark and sticky water.
Countless small meat worms squirmed in it, but most of them were half dead and seemed to have little energy.
"The larvae of the phaerinn..."
Iolum looked steadily at the black pool.
This is the place where the phaerinns are used to raise their larvae. When the larvae grow to be relatively stable and healthy, they will crawl out and become real phaerinns.
However.
In recent years, a large number of pharyngeal larvae have died prematurely, and the number of newborns has more than doubled than before.
Now Iolum also knows why the Felin Demon Sunflower, which has been living quietly underground for countless years, became furious and attacked the Nether Empire with an unyielding attitude.
The premature death of the larvae is the reason.
Within the Felin Demon Sunflower, there is a consensus that everyone from the Demon Sunflower King and the elders to the ordinary Demon Sunflowers have.
They believe that the large number of deaths of their own group's young is related to the abuse of magic by Netherese arcanists.
Unless the arcanist gives up using magic, their young will continue to die.
But asking arcanists to give up magic?
How is this possible.
So the war broke out.
One side is fighting for the survival of their own ethnic group, and the other is fighting to protect the glory of arcana... This is destined to be an endless war.
"The abuse of magic led to the death of the cubs of the magic sunflower."
Iolum took a deep breath.
"It's just fart!"
The king of arcanists cursed secretly in his heart, and it was rare for him to use foul language.
The arcanist lives in the city in the sky and has come to the ground less and less, while the phaerim lives deep underground and is also far away from the ground.
The distance between these two civilized groups is so great.
Then, will the arcanist's magic affect the phaerim? A race that feeds on magic?
Iolum knew that the larvae of the phaerim were very poor at eroding magic power, but from his perspective, as a demigod arcanist, their premature death had nothing to do with the arcanists.
But the phaerinns firmly believe in this.
"Aisberg...the most prestigious elder in the Demon Sun Temple."
"This guy was the first to suggest that the abuse of magic led to the death of the cubs."
"After the investigation, each of the Mo Kui elders seconded their opinions and approved this statement."
Iolum narrowed his eyes.
Iolum, who has been sneaking into this place to investigate for several years and has infiltrated the Demon Kui Temple, has learned a lot of inside information about the Felin Demon Kui. Naturally, he also knows the culprit that caused the war between the two forces.
One of his goals is to figure out why Asberg points his sword at Netheril.
Is it its own idea, or is it being bewitched by some existence?
Time passes quietly.
Iolum left the black pool, and after staying in his damp and dark lair for a while, he started taking action again and quietly came to the vicinity of another lair.
This is Asperger's lair.
Phaelings are very territorial and will not let other phaerimms enter their lair unless they are partners.
While Eisberg went to attend the meeting of the Demon Kui Temple, Iolum quietly entered the lair of the Demon Kui Elder.
The Phaeling is a rather powerful magical creature. It has a large number of spell-like abilities and can also learn spells. There are various magic alarms and traps in Asberg's lair, even for legendary creatures.
Once here, it’s difficult to enter without attracting the other person’s attention.
But Iolum is no legend.
He is a demigod and a demigod arcanist.
The layers of protection seemed to be in vain in front of Iolum.
The Phaeling may seem terrifying and twisted, but it is actually an intelligent creature with extraordinary intelligence that allows it to become a spellcaster.
In the dark lair, you can see rows of bookshelves with countless books of all kinds placed on them. The air is filled with the smell of knowledge, making it look like a weird library instead of underground.
The lair of monsters.
Da Mo Kui's small sesame-like eyes bloomed with light and swept across the bookshelves.
Tiny ripples in the long river of time.
In Iolum's eyes, time began to flow backwards.
This is a time magic he learned under Garen's guidance during his communication with Garen.
Back in time.
Light and shadow are reflected in Iolum's pupils.
More than ten years of time flew by and condensed into a few minutes of footage. In the retrospective time scene, he saw Asberg often taking out a book from the third row of bookshelves to read, and while observing
At that time, his face and posture were quite pious.
Like a believer.
Immediately.
Iolum stopped looking back in time.
He walked forward and found one that Asberg often read among the densely packed books.
This book is placed in the classified bookshelf that introduces the legends and deeds of the gods, and it does not deserve special attention here.
The gray-black book feels cool and delicate to the touch, and there is no trace of damage on the surface.
The pattern on the book cover is quite strange.
It is a skull placed on a rolled-up parchment scroll and pierced with a vertical quill.
Parchment rolls, quills, skulls... Iolum's breathing became a little heavier, and his face became slightly gloomy.
Opening the book, he glanced at the text introduction inside, then closed it again and put it back where it was. At the same time, his heart became heavier.
"Nether unknowingly aroused the malicious intent of such a terrifying existence."
Iolum took a few deep breaths to calm down.
The pattern on the book cover is the holy symbol of a god.
He is a powerful divine being, known as the ancient God of Death, the Lord of the End of All Things, the King of Bones...Yeager, the God of Death.
Even among all the powerful gods, this one is quite terrifying.
Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Lawful Neutral, Absolute Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil... Almost all camps have followers of the Lord of the End of All Things.
All creatures believe in this god of death because they fear death.
Similarly, the Goddess of Magic and the Ancient God of Death have always disliked each other, because the Goddess of Magic believes that this is an extremely evil god.
"Why would he target the Netheril Empire?"
If nothing unexpected happens, the god who wants to destroy Nese is most likely this one.
Iolum left Asberg's lair, and after returning to his secluded and empty lair, he thought silently.
He closed his eyes slightly and began to recall Netheril's journey from weakness to glory, thinking about how his country had incurred the hostility of the Lord of the End of All Things.
After a few days.
Iolum opened his eyes.
"Any living creature is destined to have an eternal resting place the moment it is born. Life is the process of finding this place and obtaining eternal rest."
"Compared with the eternity of death, strength, success, joy and weakness, failure, and sorrow are all equally transitory, and the various activities of life are nothing but fleeting and disordered phenomena."
"Only death is the eternal absolute, it is the end that must come."
"........."
"Death is the end of everything and the inevitable outcome. Only in order to serve death should we extend our life span."
Iolum murmured softly.
The above is the content of the teachings of the Lord who is the end of all things.
Inside, Éorum discovered the reason why the god wanted to destroy the Netherese Empire.
The outline of a model composed of magical energy appeared in Iolum's hands.
His face was heavy and he sighed quietly.
"Probably, it's because of the immortality spell."
The Lord of the End of All Things is the incarnation of death. He looks down on all things and allows each creature to meet its fate of final death.
However, the great arcanists of Netheril escaped death through the spell of immortality.
Before the advent of immortality.
If the Grand Arcanist wants to live longer, he mainly relies on the ritual of transforming into a lich. Liches are just false immortals. Most lichs end up either going crazy and committing suicide or being killed due to bloodthirsty madness.
But immortality is different.
This spell allows countless Grand Arcanists to survive eternally with sound human minds and bodies. As time goes by, there will be more and more Grand Arcanists in Nether.
If there is no external interference, the immortality spell can make any of its users immortal.
Strictly speaking, this spell is also a forbidden spell like the magic of ascending to the gods.
Because the cost of casting the spell is too small, and it is at the expense of the lives of other creatures, the caster only has one requirement for magical attainments, which is not very high.
"However, even if I am the Lord of the End of All Things, it will not be so easy to destroy the country that I have devoted all my efforts to!"
Iolum's eyes quickly became determined.
He passed the news he learned to Garen, and then added the extraordinary invisibility spell to himself [a spell that can reduce one's presence in the main material world and avoid the attention of gods].
In the days that followed, Iolum did not leave. He continued to live underground as a phaerinn.
Three years and three years later, he even participated in the war and led the Felin Demon Kui to achieve the first victory of causing the floating city to fall from the sky. After that, in all the wars he led, he easily defeated the Arcanist's front.
As a result, the prestige of this 'Elder Allen' among the Felin Demon Kui clan has been rising steadily, reaching the peak of the sky.
Many Faerun demons regard 'Elder Allen' as the most charismatic elder of the demon clan in ten thousand years, and they follow him one after another.
After figuring out who the enemy was, Iolum had a new goal.
............
"The mastermind behind this is indeed one of the gods speculated by the Mother of Dragons."
On a frosty winter day, the silver dragon in the canyon looked toward the sky.
The floating cities in the field of vision are no longer as stable as before. Because the energy supply of the core of the magic network is insufficient, they will tremble and shake from time to time, like an earthquake.
"But what does Iolum want to do?"
"In addition to the King of Arcanists, will he also be the King of Demon Sunflowers?"
Because he has always been in contact with Iolum, Garen thought silently thinking of his actions in recent years.
If he can really become the King of the Sunflower, he can indeed delay the Netheril Empire for a long time.
"Teacher, what are you thinking about?"
At this time, Karsus, who was already in his early twelve years, said to Garen.
Six more years later, Karsus has become a mid-level spellcaster and has mastered sixth-level spells, not far from being a high-ranking spellcaster.
If he continues to grow at this rate, Garen estimates that he doesn't even need to reach adulthood to reach the legendary level.
What a terrifying magical talent... Garen sighed inwardly as he looked at Karsus, whose face gradually opened up and his face became more delicate.
"Karsus, if you were the Grand Arcanist, how would you deal with Feilin Mokui?"
Hearing Garen's question, Karsus was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment, and said: "I will try to develop a magic form that is not affected by suction magic. In this way, I can use their strongest means to
Invalid."
As a member of the Arcanists, although Karsus devoted himself to learning spells from Garen, he also had some understanding of the situation in the Nether Empire.
This is his country after all.
Karsus could feel the increasingly solemn atmosphere in the floating city, and this was brought by the Phaelings. If possible, he wanted to kill all the Phaelings.
Garen shook his head and said to Karsus: "This is the most simple idea."
"Do you think there are no other great arcanists who think this way? But none of them succeeded. No matter how the form of magic power changes, the essence will not change. Even if you succeed, Felin Demon Sunflower can also improve the absorption of magic and be used for it.
To deal with the new form of magic."
Karsus raised his head, looked at the majestic mountain dragon, and said, "Please teach me, teacher."
Garen smiled slightly and said: "In the multiverse, the most powerful power is in the hands of the gods."
"If you can gain divine power, the Felin Demon Sunflower won't be a big problem."
"You swore that you could become a god, so work hard and give it a try."
Karsus shrugged and said: "Teacher, of course I want to become a god, but gaining faith, igniting the divine fire, and condensing the divine personality... this step is too difficult."
The silver dragon lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Really? In my eyes, Karsus is not an arcane master who follows the rules."
After a pause, he guided him intentionally or unintentionally: "You are an arcanist, why don't you be more bold and try to create a spell that can make you a god in one step?"
"Spells are the will of the caster and should be omnipotent."
After listening to Garen's words, Karsus' eyes flickered, looking thoughtful.
"Achieve God in one step..."
He murmured in a low voice, with a look of longing in his eyes as he spoke.
"Okay, today I will teach you the new sixth-level spells, the spell invalidation barrier, and the dissociation spell."
After a little guidance, Garen continued to teach Karsus about magic.
In order for Karsus to successfully create the art of ascending to the gods, he has done this kind of thing many times over the years.
In short, under Garen's constant guidance, Karsus's heart is full of longing for the power of gods, and he wants to become a god through the method of an arcanist, solve the crisis caused by the phaerimm, and become a Netherese
Your new patron saint.
After finishing the spell instruction, Garon brought Karsus back to the floating city.
He did not leave, but went to the Church of the Goddess of Magic again.
Garen has no plot of personal heroism. He wanted to reverse the collapse of the Nether Empire, but he never thought of doing it all by himself, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to contact Iolum.
It is the most stupid thing to turn a blind eye when there is obviously other help.
From Garen's point of view, the most powerful helper that the Nether Empire could find at this time was far away and right in front of him.
Looking at the holy emblem pattern of the swirling seven stars, Garen stepped onto the stairs to enter the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
