Chapter 577 Neverwinter in the Multiverse (7K)

Tang Sen has the final say whether Faerun will be in chaos or not.

This sentence is not known yet, because everything happened in the dark where no one knew.

However, the people of Faerûn did feel some disturbing signs - the prophecy of annihilation was constantly being spread, and the activities of the devil began to become more frequent near the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars.

To be precise, it is in a famous country adjacent to the Falling Star Sea.

Serge.

Many people swore that the devils no longer lurk in the darkness in Cyre, and even appear swaggering on the streets. They continue to bewitch the Cyre people, even the red-robed wizards.

Some people say that Sazastan, the chief consul of Ser, has opened the door to the nine levels of purgatory and has reached an alliance with the devils. He hopes that with the power of the devils, the evil forces will no longer be isolated in one corner, but will sweep across the entire world. The Dragon Coast and even all of Faerûn.

Of course, if Sazastan were to speak, he would only say two words: "Fart!"

He simply didn’t know why so many devils appeared in his country. Countless rumors spread among the red-robed mages, making the whole of Ser a mess——

At this time, he discovered that his control over Serge was not as strong as he had imagined. Although he repeatedly emphasized that he did not know those devils at all, and he had no intention of using the devil's power to plot other countries, but the red robe The mages believed it on the surface, but secretly - at least many of the red-robed mages known to Sazhastan readily accepted the devil's contract and were ready to take action.

There is no way, the red-robed mages are such a group. In fact, the system of the red-robed mages in Ser is similar to the system within the devil.

Every red-robed mage is extremely eager to be promoted, and is worried about being replaced by others, so he crazily suppresses his subordinates. Therefore, they will definitely seize every opportunity to treat their friends, their bosses and even Launching the most insidious and vicious betrayal against his subordinates.

The devil is their chance.

It is conceivable that the two parties must have hit it off.

Sazastan could even guess that more than one of his chief red-robed mages had definitely made a deal with the devil, and the purpose of the deal was definitely his own position. No, if you think about it more carefully, maybe all the chief red-robed mages had made a deal with the devil. All the magicians have done this.

Otherwise, they would not be able to become the chief. This position must have been forged through countless betrayals and killings.

In the past, Sazastan was able to suppress all of this with hard power, but now with the interference of the Nine Levels of Purgatory, it can no longer suppress it.

This was a devil's carnival. They accurately found the most suitable place in Faerûn for their invasion. Then they established a firm foothold!

The Devil Archduke Dierhz was very happy. He found that the transaction between himself and Mr. Reid was indeed the right decision. Even if it is just a prelude to the subsequent big plan, in the foreseeable future, he has steadily gained profits in Ser. With so many pure souls, the souls of these red-robed mages are more attractive to devils than ordinary spellcasters, and their pain must be extremely sweet.

Townsend was also very happy. It was naturally his idea to choose Serge as the target. The Devils were also very efficient. It was best to increase their efforts and directly drive Sazastan out of power.

Of course, the people of Faerûn may not be so happy. After all, the devil is raging in Ser, which looks like the plot mentioned in the prophecy.

What's more, in addition to the devil, another omen of the prophecy has also been confirmed.

"The aloof gods were reduced to mortals, and their dignity was nailed to the walls of Neverwinter."

Shar's encounter in Neverwinter has spread throughout Toril.

No one knows what is happening in the Kingdom of God outside Faerun, but Shar did not succeed in bringing his Kingdom to Faerun.

In two months, Shar's only change towards Faerûn is that her followers have become more active. Although most of them died due to the advent, Shar's followers are coming from other planes in the multiverse. The influx of people into Faerûn continues.

They gathered around Neverwinter and constantly attacked people who tried to go to Neverwinter.

Of course, this also aroused resistance from believers of other gods. Tire's priests and paladins, who upheld the concepts of justice and order, spontaneously guarded the surroundings of Neverwinter to fight against unnecessary and innocent killings. The priests of Selun were more direct, and they began to hunt those priests of Shar.

Naturally, there are other believers of gods fishing in troubled waters and mixing in for their own purposes.

The melee between various churches makes people feel uneasy. The most common argument in various taverns is that this may be the beginning of a divine war.

Some people avoid it and stay away from Neverwinter City or even Sword Coast, while others are eager to participate in this major change that only happens once in a thousand years.

As the core source of everything, Neverwinter City has no response to anything outside.

Because this legendary award ceremony is about to be held.

On this day, the streets of Neverwinter were crowded with people.

The high platform of the square has been built, and the live video magic equipment is spread all over the streets and alleys of Neverwinter City, and even some well-known taverns, giving everyone the opportunity to witness that glorious moment at the same time.

"This year, it's finally Ihat Mamut's turn to win the Best Adventurer of the Year award, right? He has been running with us for three full years."

In the tavern, a tiefling was having a heated discussion with his companions.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult." The human spellcaster shook his head: "Although Yihadu Mamuti successfully returned from the star realm, there was no significant achievement. Don't forget, there is another popular person this year. candidate."

"Amycus Chapman." The elf next to him showed a longing expression: "He went to the elemental plane alone, entered the palace of the legendary elemental monarch, and even brought back the elemental seeds——"

"A person like this is the one who deserves to be the best adventurer of the year!"

"Isn't it rumored that Amycus Chapman is lying?" Tiefling looked dissatisfied: "His adventures are all fake! What kind of elemental seed? I have never heard of such a treasure. According to me It seems that Amycus Chapman is just a deceiver, trying to deceive the jury and Miss Trish in order to steal this year's highest honor."

"But Yihabi Mamuti is different. His adventures every year are real. No matter what, it is impossible for him to accompany him for the fourth time, right?"

"What happened the fourth time?" The elf glared at him: "Ihabi Mamuti's own achievements are not qualified to win the Legend Award. You only favor him because he and you are both Tieflings. Say This is the seventh time that Mr. Colnover has won the Annual Best Research Achievement Award since the fourth time!"

"How can this be confused? Those who compete for that award are all lunatics in the library. They have nothing in their minds except research all day long!"

"This is biased." The spell caster frowned: "Compared to the so-called adventurers, their research results are more beneficial to the world and closely related to everyone's life."

"Okay, stop arguing." The barbarian captain, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "It's useless to say this. Maybe this year's legendary award ceremony can't be successfully held. It's not like you don't know that Faerun is now It’s a mess.”

"You mean the believers of those gods?" Tieflin said disdainfully: "If they can influence Neverwinter City, they won't be able to just make small fuss outside the city. It's been so long, Shar is still It’s hanging on the city gate.”

"It is the incarnation of Shar." The caster reminded strictly: "The real Shar is still in his kingdom of God. He will never give up. In fact, I think Mr. Townsend is not very wise and is too humiliating. If a god really wants to come to Faerûn regardless of the cost, the Lord of Neverwinter may not be able to stop him."

"Even if it can be blocked, the other side has begun to block everyone's access to Neverwinter City. This is undoubtedly bad news." The elf also said: "As the war between gods intensifies, I am afraid that Neverwinter City will be greatly affected."

"There is no way around this." The barbarian captain sighed: "If the divine war breaks out around Neverwinter City, Neverwinter City will definitely be inaccessible. After all, Neverwinter City is dead and cannot be moved. Walk."

"Perhaps this is also Shar's plan. He wants to destroy Neverwinter in this way?"

"That's such a shame."

At this time, the magic imaging device in the tavern suddenly lit up.

"The Legend Award Ceremony has begun!"

Someone shouted excitedly, and the four of them immediately stopped talking and looked over.

As in previous years, as the city lord of Neverwinter, the dwarf Barn has stood on the high platform.

"I guess I don't need to introduce myself anymore."

Barn's voice spread throughout Neverwinter: "After all, I stand here every year, and everyone is probably tired of seeing my face."

"Dwarf Barn's jokes are not funny as always." Someone in the tavern joked.

The whole crowd burst into laughter.

"Anyway, this is the 12th Legend Awards Ceremony."

"I still clearly remember the scene during the first award ceremony. At that time, the Legend Award Ceremony did not receive such high attention. Everyone came to Neverwinter City to participate in this ceremony, not for the Legend Award. Glory, but for the bonus of the Legend Award.”

"Of course, I think things are different now."

"For the Legend Award, ten thousand gold coins is just an insignificant number. The meaning of the award itself is the most important."

“As the most fair and just and authoritative award in all of Faerûn, and even in the entire multiverse – I hope it won’t sound too arrogant to say this. Of course, if anyone has any objections to this, you can come up to the stage and hit me directly. "

Baan winked.

Someone in the tavern suddenly laughed and cursed: "This is Neverwinter City!"

Obviously, this was another Barn-style joke. He said regretfully: "No one took action. It seems that everyone agrees with what I said."

“We have held so many editions, and I can say with certainty that each legendary award ceremony is unique and important. However, in my mind, there are only two award ceremonies that are the most significant. "

"The first is the first awards ceremony. It is a starting point, a beginning that focuses the attention of the entire Faerun here. From that day on, those who should have received the glory can receive the glory without worrying about interests and positions. You don’t have to worry about being obscured by power and gods.”

"And the other one is this one."

Baan's expression brightened with excitement.

"I am very grateful to everyone who was able to come to Neverwinter today. Everyone should know that in such a situation, it is not as easy as it once was. It can even be called an adventure."

"I'm here to tell you that the risk is worth it."

"Because today will be another starting point. And you who are about to witness all this will become the luckiest group of people in Faerûn and even the entire multiverse."

This kind of propaganda made the audience in the tavern look at each other.

"Another starting point? Is Baan going to announce some important decision today?"

"Maybe he wants to tell us that this is the last awards ceremony." One person joked.

"Stop making trouble." Tiefling said loudly: "I guess it has something to do with the goddess of the night and the upcoming divine war. Neverwinter City cannot be indifferent to everything that happens outside the city."

"Is the Lord of Neverwinter planning to participate in the God War?"

"This is a big deal, but for us, it can't be called lucky, right?"

"Who knows, we can't interfere with the decisions of these big shots anyway. Let's discuss who will win the best adventurer this year."

"Too."

Of course, Barn couldn't hear the discussion in the tavern, but he saw the lively discussion among the audience in the square. He paused for a moment before continuing:

"I have said enough, let us leave some suspense for now."

"Next, let's invite the chief judge of the legendary awards ceremony - Miss Cuixi."

Barn stepped off the platform and made way for Trish.

Suddenly, there was an overwhelming sound of shouts from below, and everyone stared eagerly at this world-famous half-elf spellcaster.

Cui Xi was obviously used to such scenes. She spoke skillfully: "Then, the Legend Award Ceremony officially begins."

"The first award of the first Legend Awards Ceremony will be the Best Exploration Award of the Year."

The Legend Award Ceremony went smoothly. Just like in previous years, the birth of each award was met with warm applause. This was the day of glory. Those characters who usually only existed in stories were now standing on the podium alive. , were extremely excited because of the honor of receiving the Legend Award, and some even burst into tears.

This is also everyone’s favorite part.

Of course, the awards ceremony always comes to an end.

When Cui Xi announced the final grand prize, the winner of the Best Adventurer of the Year award, all the procedures of the award ceremony were completed.

According to past practice, all the winners will go on stage to express their thanks, and then everyone will disperse. The tavern in Neverwinter City will be full, and everyone is looking forward to the winners appearing in the bar and telling their adventure stories in person.

This is simply an annual event and no one will want to sleep tonight.

However, the process did not proceed as usual.

"Then, this concludes the 12th Legend Award Ceremony."

Trish took a deep breath: "This will be the last time the legendary award ceremony is held in Faerun."

The square, which was already in full swing, suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Cui Xi.

"the last time?"

Someone in the tavern exclaimed: "Did you really guess that the legendary award ceremony will not be held?"

"Don't do this kind of thing!"

The tiefling wailed: "Ihabi Mamuti has already run with me four times, at least wait until he gets the Legend Award before stopping!"

"Is it really because of the God War? Hey, if the Legend Award Ceremony is stopped, I'm afraid there won't be any glory that can replace the Legend Award in the future, right?"

During this discussion, Cui Xi's voice continued to be heard. She seemed to be answering everyone's doubts and said: "Of course, this does not mean that this is the last legendary award ceremony."

"It means that the Legend Award Ceremony, as well as Neverwinter City, will enter the next stage."

"I believe that everyone in Neverwinter City now knows who the person who truly created Neverwinter City and created the legendary award ceremony is."

She saluted everyone and said, "Next, please—"

"Lord of Neverwinter."

There was an uproar in the square.

Of course everyone heard about what happened at the city gate. The Lord of Neverwinter defeated the goddess Shar and even hung her on the city gate in a grand manner.

To be able to humiliate a god like this, in everyone's guess, the Lord of Neverwinter City is definitely a powerful god. This is also in line with people's speculation about Neverwinter City. Only powerful gods can build it. In such a realm, everyone who enters Neverwinter City must abide by the rules of Neverwinter City.

And now, is a god actually going to appear in front of everyone in person?

Before everyone could calm down, the man had already appeared in the magical image, and everyone's eyes were focused on the other man's black hair and calm, deep black eyes.

"A new era is coming."

Tang Sen did not introduce himself, let alone say any scene words, and went straight to the topic: "The world is about to undergo unprecedented drastic changes."

"This upheaval will sweep through every creature in Toril, including humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, and even goblins, ogres, and dragons."

"Whether you are on a high mountain, in a dense forest, or in the depths of the ocean, even if you are hiding at the bottom of the Underdark, it is impossible to escape this drastic change."

The entire city of Neverwinter was silent.

"What did he mean?" Someone in the tavern asked cautiously.

"It should be talking about him, or the conflict between Him and the Night Goddess, right? But is it that serious?"

"Even if it is a divine war, it will only affect Neverwinter City at most, right? How could it affect every living thing?"

"Can't you escape even the lowest level of the Underdark? It's too exaggerated. In the history of Faerûn, there have been more than one divine wars."

There was a lot of discussion.

At this time, someone shouted: "When you hear these words, do you think of a prophecy?"

"Prophecy?" Everyone looked at him.

"The day of destruction is coming. First, the sea will overturn and submerge all the land. Second, the gods will begin to walk on the earth and start a war. Finally, everything will come to an end and no living thing will be spared." Say this prophecy out loud.

"The Day of Destruction! The Lord of Neverwinter City is talking about the Day of Destruction!"

"Isn't that fake?" Someone questioned: "What a day of destruction, how could such a thing happen?"

"The sea will overturn and submerge all the land. But anyone with some common sense also knows that no matter how big a tsunami is, it will only sweep through coastal areas. What's more, there are also dark areas. It is impossible that all the sea water in the world is not in the ocean. Stay here and let us all flock to the land, right?"

"But... there have been signs. Haven't you heard? Sel has become the base of the devil, and there is also the goddess Shar."

"No, it's definitely not true." Someone shouted excitedly, but the paleness on his face revealed his fear.

"If it wasn't true, would the Lord of Neverwinter say this in front of so many people? He is the god who left Shardu helpless! He must know more than us."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

"It's better to continue to listen to what the Lord of Neverwinter has to say."

Townsend's speech continued.

He still looked calm, as if he didn't know how much shock his words would arouse in the audience.

"Neverwinter has no intention of participating in this upheaval."

"When I founded this city, what I wanted was a safe, neutral and tolerant city. What I could give was that nothing from the outside world would change the purpose of this city."

"So, I declare-"

"From now on, Neverwinter will enter the next stage."

"Beyond the restrictions of the region, no longer based on the Sword Coast, no longer based on Torian, and become an independent city."

"Free from geographical restrictions?" People in the square looked confused: "What do you mean?"

"Isn't Neverwinter right here?"

At this time, everyone suddenly felt a slight vibration.

"Wait! What happened?"

"earthquake?"

There was a rumbling sound, covering people's panic discussions. The shaking in Neverwinter became more and more violent. Everyone could feel that the city seemed to be alive.

"Wait! Look!"

Some people standing on the rooftops beside the square exclaimed: "Look outside!"

"The sea is breaking!"

I saw that the sea area next to Neverwinter City suddenly dropped a lot as if it was controlled by some powerful force.

No, not down.

"It's the sea level near Neverwinter that's rising!"

"And the Neverwinter Forest! It's also rising!"

Only then did people realize a fact.

"Neverwinter is flying?"

Not only the main city, but everything included in the territory, including part of the sea and part of the forest, were all heading towards the sky together with Neverwinter City, as if they were pulled out of the ground by infinite power.

At this time, the feelings of people inside Neverwinter City may not be that strong, but people in the suburbs of Neverwinter, and even further away, no matter what they are doing, at this time, the ground is shaking and the mountains are shaking. On the ground, they all looked towards the direction of Neverwinter City.

It was a miracle that was impossible for human beings to achieve. A huge piece of land was getting rid of the gravity of the earth's center and soaring towards the sky.

"Neverwinter City ran away?"

A priest of Shar stared blankly at this scene, and the holy symbol in his hand couldn't help but fall.

"Then what should we do? The Oracle asked us to trap Neverwinter City. Can we still be trapped now?"

"The cities have all flown away! Why are you so sleepy!"

"The incarnation of Goddess Shar also flew away."

"Is this kind of thing possible? The legendary floating city has not appeared for a long time."

"Do we still need to fight here?"

"Go back and pray to the goddess!"

The chaos in the outside world did not affect Tang Sen. According to his perception, the two Mythra cores distributed underground in Neverwinter City were steadily outputting huge amounts of magic power. Magic lines flowed through it, allowing the entire city to soar into the sky easily.

Moreover, the territory does not disappear with the change of location.

"Successful."

The corners of Tang Sen's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"From now on, not only am I invincible, I even have the ability to take the initiative."

"All the gods of the multiverse will be prepared to be crushed by the person of Neverwinter."

"After all, I'm not a homebody like Ms. Pain."

Tang Sen did not show his excitement. He looked at the people in the square. At this time, even if they could not see everything outside, they were enough to find out what was going on here.

"Yes, Neverwinter City will become an independent floating city starting from today." Tang Sen continued: "Not only that, in the future, Neverwinter City will become a magic city that can pass through crystal walls."

"Residents of Neverwinter City, prepare to welcome the new Neverwinter City. From now on, what you will be able to see is not just the scenery of Faerûn."

"Of course, due to the changes in Neverwinter City, the Legend Award Ceremony has naturally entered a new stage."

"The next legendary award ceremony will not only face the people of Toril, but also face the entire multiverse, whether it is the main material plane, the elemental plane, the astral plane or the outer plane, as long as it is All intelligent races will have the opportunity to receive the Legend Award.”

"To this end, I have decided to increase the amount of each award in the Legend Award again."

"The winner of the ordinary award, in addition to the honor, will also receive a cash prize of one million gold coins."

"And the final Best Adventurer of the Year award will be won alone——"

"Ten million gold coins."

Tang Sen did not wait for everyone to digest the news - obviously it would take them a long, long time to recover from the successive shocks.

Ten million gold coins, this is an astronomical figure that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Of course, compared with such numbers, that honor is obviously more dazzling. After all, winning that award means becoming a legend in the entire multiverse.

This influence is enough to tempt the gods.
