Chapter 2980 Destruction of Winterhold
The Asa people, who have been oppressed by Winterhold for many years, are of course happy to see their old enemy destroyed. However, at the same time, people can't help but feel panic about the misty clouds hidden behind this catastrophe, and many ominous speculations arise.
Was Winterhold destroyed by a natural avalanche, or did Trim offend a god who sent divine punishment and razed his sinful lair to the ground?
For a long time afterwards, the Asir people had different opinions on the mystery of the destruction of Winterhold, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth.
Although none of the conjectures have been widely accepted, people have reasons to believe that the destruction of Winterhold can only be attributed to natural disasters or divine punishment. Uprooted the huge intertwined forces of Winterhold, killed them all, and left no one behind.
Such power is no longer within the reach of ordinary people!
Those who really knew the truth about the fall of Winterhold, such as "Iron Rose of Stone Pillar Town" Slude, laughed at the above-mentioned rumors that became more and more evil, and were too lazy to clarify the facts to those guys with poor imagination.
As long as Qiao An has not become a god and still maintains the status of a mortal, then the upper limit of "mortal power" will be raised due to his existence, which is far beyond the imagination of other mortals, so that people would rather treat Qiao An as a mortal. It seems more reasonable to impose the actions of some imaginary god.
...
Slude didn't even bother to announce the truth about the destruction of Winterhold, and Joan certainly didn't care what people said about him casually crushing an ant named Trim.
After destroying Winterhold, he put the matter out of his mind, commanded the adamantine colossus to take the form of a castle, returned to his study, and re-indulged in the joy of delving into legendary magic.
Time flies, and two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. By mid-February 1628, Joan had mastered all the 30 legendary spells transcribed from the Dragon Book.
In the coming time, Joan intends to use the 0-9 regular magic as a blueprint to develop a legendary version by himself.
This project is too complicated and requires too much time and energy. Joan is not in a hurry, and spends some time every day with relatives and friends in Cloudsdale, especially guiding her adopted daughter Inanna's arcane practice.
Inanna's arcane talent is very good. Coupled with her hard work, she has now been promoted to level 5 mage, and her mythological rank has also been raised to level 6. She has also awakened a new mythical ability of the same type as Joan's "Sage's Proof" ", get an extra 13 "mythical powers" every day.
Seeing her daughter's continuous growth, Joan was very pleased, so she gave Inanna the "Legendary Gorgeous Belt" seized from Trim, and planned to help her modify the magic bracelet. Enhancement", upgraded to "Legendary Mana Enhancement".
Just this afternoon, Joan received an unexpected letter.
The sender is Metatron, the soul-absorbing princess of Odis, and the recipient is the substitute created by Joan with the "advanced avatar technique"—the mind-fleeing magician "Faster" North of Odis. for.
Last fall, the beholder clan broke into Odys in a vengeful rage, wreaking havoc and destroying several buildings, including Saul's Laboratory.
At that time, Joan fished in troubled waters, sneaked into Saul's laboratory during the war, and assassinated Dr. Saul and his assistants. After that, the technical information about the artificially synthesized "Babbling Ball" fell into the hands of Metatron.
Metatron has been silent for a while, and recently he is ready to move again. He intends to use the information at hand to fulfill Dr. Saul's unfulfilled wish during his lifetime, synthesize the legendary monster "Babbling Ball", and throw it into "Magic Eye Nest City" Udi North.
What is the purpose of doing this?
Just for fun.
Yes, the happiness of mind flayers is so simple, always based on the pain of others.
In this letter, Metatron explained her prank to her "closest friend" Gnostic, inviting Gnostic to join her gang and help her kidnap four living beholders from Udinos for synthesis "The Ball of Whispering".
Although Joan has left Udinos, after all, he still has some old feelings for the beholders, especially the Prime Minister Saoirse. Besides, he is not a real mind flayer, and he doesn't have the kind of abuse of others for no reason. Because of his bad taste, he disapproved of Metatron's plan, so he wrote back and declined the invitation of the spiritual princess on the grounds of retreat.
Not long after, Metatron wrote back complaining that he was too indifferent to her, and also said that even if the Gnostic brothers did not participate, she would still try to complete the big project of synthesizing the "Babbling Ball" by herself, and she had to show him for breath. !
Joan tasted the resentment expressed in Metatron's reply, and was quite disturbed.
He wasn't afraid to offend Metatron. In fact, based on his understanding of Metatron, the complaints written by the spiritual princess in the letter were mostly out of anger, and they didn't really want to break up with him.
The character of the "spiritual princess" Metatron is really like a spoiled little princess in some respects. She is very willful, and she can't stop what she wants to do.
Joan had to worry that Metatron would venture into Udinos and kidnap the beholder in order to collect materials for the synthesis of the "Babbling Ball".
If Metatron really does this, it is likely to trigger a new round of all-out conflict between the two major underground forces, Odis and Udinos.
In her reply to Metatron, Joann warned her not to go too far and not to involve her compatriots in an unnecessary dispute.
The next morning, Joann received a reply from Metatron. The attitude of the spiritual princess is surprisingly well-behaved, promising not to cause major troubles, and pretending to be mysterious, she has found a new partner, and she is sure to synthesize the "babbling ball" in a short period of time.
Metatron deliberately did not say who her partner was. Joan suspected that she was trying to tantalize her appetite, and waited for her reply to ask.
Normally, Joan would not mind letting her wish come true. However, during this period of time, she just got busy again. There are several legendary magic research and development plans to be promoted simultaneously. Do not reply again.
No matter what plans Metatron and her allies have, if they want to synthesize the "Babbling Ball", they must try to capture four adult beholders as materials, which cannot be bypassed.
So who would Metatron be targeting?
Qiao An didn't have a clue yet, and didn't bother to ask.
Frankly speaking, Joan doesn't care about the life and death of other beholder nobles as long as it's not Saoirse, maybe Slaoga and Lashinu who have worked with him.
He and Inanna have already left Udinos, and they don't want to worry about the beholders. Anyway, with Ishtar and Saoirse in charge, even if Metatron tries hard, there won't be any big troubles. .
This time, however, he miscalculated.
