Chapter 1187 Coming Back
This spell of Helast was a little beyond Isaac's expectations.
In his understanding, Helast's best areas were "spell summoning", "making portals", "clones" and "projections", and perhaps "making magic items".
Needless to say, the first three, the underground city is the most intuitive portrayal.
As for "making magic items"...
Not only are there countless magic items made by Helast in the underground city, but as far as Isaac knows, perhaps a thousand years ago, in the most glorious era of the magic empire of Kalinsey, Helast should have created a real holy weapon for Kalinsey at that time!
This alone shows Helast's achievements in "making magic items".
However, Isaac did not expect that this crazy wizard actually had such a deep attainment in the "field of enchantment and control".
With just this one spell, even without experiencing it himself, he could already judge that the Mad Mage's level in the field of "Mind Control" should at least be on par with Ovo.
"But... this is not surprising!"
"Heraste in a rational state cannot be described by common sense!"
In Isaac's personal opinion, if Halste could remain rational, his understanding of magic and his creativity in magic research would be better than Khelbourne, and even the old man Minnis would be inferior to him.
Such a great mage has existed for more than a thousand years, so he naturally has no shortcomings in the field of magic.
Not to mention "Mind Control", it would not be surprising if Halste revealed another field of the same level.
Isaac was pondering.
The situation in the connecting hall has already been settled.
With Halste personally taking action to catch the drow wizard.
Those drow warriors and death guards were simply unable to fight against the frost giants and the slaads.
Especially the frost giant lord.
Forced by Halaster, the frost giant lord poured all his endless hatred on the top of the opponent's head.
Under the violent blow of the frost axe, not to mention the drow warriors, even the death guards in dark heavy armor were knocked down by him in the face.
In addition, there was a team of frost giant warriors following him.
In particular, the three slaads were still releasing various powerful spell-like abilities...
In the blink of an eye, in the hall, except for the drow wizard who was still screaming, there were no other drow who could continue to stand.
At this time, a deep blue gem emerged in the sky.
Reflecting the figure of the drow wizard, a dazzling magical light shone from the gem.
Suddenly, the figure of the drow wizard twisted and stretched.
The will in a chaotic state was completely unable to resist the attraction from the gem. The soul and body were transformed into the essence of life and sealed into the gem.
Helast was not a magnanimous person.
Even if the one tortured by the drow wizard was just an avatar he created, and he took the initiative to "send" it.
But how could he not retaliate?
He imprisoned the essence of the drow wizard, and he wanted to return all the torture ten times or a hundred times!
And as he sealed the drow wizard.
As if the task of "Oath Binding" was completed, the two magic gates in the sky had a strong teleportation aura, and then, in a sound of cursing, the figures of the Sla Death Toad and the Frost Giants disappeared in the magic gates again.
Then, the two magic gates also disappeared in the sky.
At this time.
In the void in the hall, another disheveled figure appeared.
He stretched out his hand and grasped the deep blue gemstone. His eyes, which were burning with light, looked at one side of the hall.
"You actually intervened in the affairs of Waterdeep?"
"Or are you also the person behind these drow elves?"
It seemed that Isaac's "legendary hiding" could not be hidden from his perception in front of him.
However, after noticing it, he did not act directly without caring about it...
Kui Lu was right. Although Helast still looked a little crazy in appearance, his rationality had actually recovered a lot.
"The affairs of Waterdeep naturally have nothing to do with me."
"I heard Vila Zhuo mention that someone suspected that someone had kidnapped you again, so I came here out of curiosity."
"But now it seems... are you going to vent your anger at the Lord of the Symbols here?"
There was a slight smile on Isaac's face.
If Helast was really kidnapped twice in a row, then what he said was a mockery in person.
But now, since Helast showed up here directly... Obviously, the so-called kidnapping this time is just to use those drow elves as a warning to others!
"Hmph, nosy!"
"I don't need you to interfere in my affairs..."
Hlast snorted coldly and turned around, not going to pay attention to this person anymore.
Rational state.
Although he did not want to be a direct enemy of this person and the dark sisters behind him easily, it did not mean that he was afraid of them, nor was he in the mood to listen to ridicule.
As soon as he turned around, there was a magical light flashing on him.
But that's it.
"Did the Archmage just leave like this without explaining the matter about Mephistopheles?"
Isaac's voice made his movements pause for a moment.
The teleportation aura also condensed.
Slowly, Halast's figure turned around again: "Do you know it's Him behind you?"
This person just said that he came to "watch the show" after smelling that he was kidnapped.
But then something changed, and he immediately knew the existence of Mephistopheles?
"I heard Villadra mention that the Archmage just returned from Avernus, right?"
Isaac answered the question incorrectly.
Avernus, the first level of Baator Hell, is not at the same level as the eighth level, Cania, but...
Some of the suspicion is clearly evident.
Over there, they had just escaped from Avernus, and here came Mephistopheles.
Who can guarantee that Mephistopheles was not responsible for Hellaster's escape?
Who can guarantee that Halaster's "imprisonment" has nothing to do with it?
"You want me to give you an explanation?"
A kind of madness appeared on Halast's face.
Let’s not talk about whether he had colluded with Mephistopheles or not, but even if he did... he could still bear it. Could it be that others were pointing fingers at his face?
Although this green dragon is not easy to mess with according to legend, this is his Lost City of Earth Lines!
But his face was slumping.
On Isaac's side, he actually laughed: "There's no need for the Archmage to get excited, I've already said that what happened in Waterdeep City has nothing to do with me.
What happens to you and Mephistopheles has nothing to do with me.
What I am concerned and curious about is... I wonder what is happening to the person in Avernus now? "
That one!
Of course Halaster knew who this was referring to.
This green dragon "cares" about that old ghost Minnis...
Could it be that the Dragon Queen wants to do something?
Halaster was also suspicious in his heart. Although the Dragon Queen was no longer the lord of Avernus, her influence on this level was still extremely powerful.
The only one who can surpass him in terms of power is the current lord Bayer.
All other devil nobles, including the numerous great devils who were exiled to this level, and even the former lords of certain levels, have difficulty in having his influence.
If this person also intends to intervene...
For a moment, the anger and embarrassment in Halast's heart was suppressed.
Turn...
With a little sneer: "Are you curious? Or is that person concerned?"
"It doesn't matter who it is."
"The important thing is..."
His eyes met the mad mage's in the sky, and Isaac said lightly: "I want to know how Nergal imprisoned Minnis, and why even you, Xinbu, and the lady behind him couldn't do it. Rescue him?"
Nergal, this is the big devil who imprisoned Minnis.
Although Isaac didn't know where this person originally came from, there was no doubt that this great devil who was exiled to Avernus for Asmodeus had a power comparable to the real hell. The power of the lord.
Of course, this "comparability" must not be at the level of the rule of the hell lords themselves, nor can it be added to the lordship functions controlled by the hell lords.
This time, it would be interesting.
An exiled big devil, can this really imprison Minnis?
And Halaster was defeated and imprisoned as well?
Even Xinbu, who has the support of the Magic Goddess and Silinxi, has been unable to defeat him?
Standing on his own level, Isaac felt that there must be something fishy in this.
At this time, Halaster, one of the parties involved, was in front of him, so he had to test him.
"Nergal is nothing!"
"If Asmodeus hadn't been behind him and given him some powers of hell, how would he have the qualifications to plot against Minnis's power of silver fire?"
"Asmodeus is the real black hand!"
"But now, He can't stop Xinbu."
"The lady stripped me of half the chaos and threw it onto Him. Even Him could not recover in a short time."
"Right now, not only is He preventing Xinbu from saving people, he is even more worried about the challenges from the hell lords below him..."
Halaster sneered and scoffed.
But what he said was that Isaac didn't really understand the situation in Avernus.
He couldn't help but still narrowed his eyes slightly.
Asmodeus was behind it. In fact, he had already suspected it.
Whoever let Baator go to hell was Asmodeus's territory.
Nergal is seeking the power of "Silver Fire" in Baator Hell. How could Asmodeus not be aware of it?
Therefore, the one who hinders the goddess of magic must be Asmodeus!
At least, one of them must be!
But now...
"The goddess of magic stripped off half of Hellast's chaos and threw it on Asmodeus..."
"So, not only Minnis is coming back."
"More importantly... those hell lords, including those exiled demons, are ready to make a move at this time, right?"
Halast's leak is probably meant to sow discord between the Dragon Queen and Asmodeus!
But at the same time...
"If that's the case, maybe there's really no collusion between him and Mephistopheles."
Otherwise, how could Mephistopheles, the most ambitious person in Battor Hell who has always wanted to replace Asmodeus, come to the material world at this time?
After quickly making these judgments in his mind, Isaac's thoughts flashed again.
The goddess of magic stripped away half of Halast's chaos!
This is probably the root cause of why He invited Halast to take action, right?
In this way, Halast was freed from the influence of the Lady of Darkness and maintained a certain degree of rationality.
More importantly...
Using this chaos, which mostly involves the conflict between the "essence of magic" and the "essence of shadow magic", on the "lawful evil" Asmodeus is extremely effective.
After this incident, the ruler of Baator is afraid that something will really happen.
But these have nothing to do with him for the time being.
Isaac doesn't care whether the Dragon Queen will make any moves in Baator.
"Hmm?"
But just as he was about to suppress this thought for the time being, Isaac suddenly moved in his heart.
"Asmodeus is in trouble..."
"Can this be the fuse for Mephistopheles to be expelled back to Carnia?"
But after all, Helast is right in front of him. Although Isaac has this idea, he didn't rush to think about the feasibility.
"I see!"
"Since the lady has taken action personally, it seems that this matter has indeed come to an end."
"I misunderstood the Archmage."
Isaac nodded slightly and apologized, but changed the subject: "However, since the Archmage has nothing to do with Mephistopheles, he doesn't know that the clone imprisoned by the drow elves is waiting..."
Heraste knew the existence of Mephistopheles.
Since this is the case... Isaac doesn't believe that he would not judge the binding contract between Mephistopheles and Valsarius.
If you knew about this binding contract, and you were still planning to lure Valsarius to the Underworld City and completely solve it...
"You don't need to say more, I won't kill her directly."
"For this arrogant person who tried to detain me, I will imprison her and let her suffer eternal torture!"
"But you..."
Heraste snorted: "Don't provoke me again! Not to mention that I didn't pay attention to them, even if I did, what does it have to do with you? Instead of worrying about other things, you should think about the Dragon Madness!"
