Chapter 298 The Old Sage’s Persuasion

Walking in the heart of the Red Base, the Legend Adventure Group seemed to have entered no man's land. After many training exercises, the people in the Red Base hid as quickly as possible.

For precautionary reasons, a large number of tunnels were dug in the red base area. Once the base area was raided, the people immediately got into the tunnels and evacuated to safe areas along the underground transportation network that extended in all directions.

Ditra realized more and more that something was wrong. With the blessing of dark vision, he looked around and couldn't see a single figure, but he vaguely had a strange feeling like a light on his back.

After the alarm was issued, the red base area seemed calm, but in fact it had opened its ferocious mouth. The guerrillas had already followed the tunnel to the predetermined ambush point and were in place.

The prophecy spells also failed as expected. The legendary adventure group lacked effective detection methods. Every legendary professional could sense the hidden threat, but did not know where the threat came from.

Halfling Hall no longer sneered. He looked anxious and looked around in panic.

"Guys, I suggest you retreat temporarily. We have been exposed. There must be traps waiting for us ahead!" Hall lowered his voice and said: "Let's retreat first and come back when there is a better opportunity in the future..."

"In the future?" Ditra shook his head and said, "There will be no better opportunities in the future. The Red Evil Party's control over the territory is far beyond my expectation. The next time we enter the territory of the Red Believers, the alarm will sound. Come. If we don’t seize this opportunity, if the leader of the Bradero gang escapes and the prophecy spell fails, we will never find him again.”

Enduring the uneasy feeling of oppression, the legendary adventure group gritted their teeth and continued to move forward. They were all extremely powerful people, and they refused to take a step back even though they knew that there were many dangers ahead.

Hall obviously didn't want to die, but he was not stupid either. If he gave up his mission and escaped alone, he would probably be executed on the spot, and all his relatives and friends imprisoned in Waterdeep City Prison would also be implicated and sentenced to death.

In the darkness, following the footsteps of five zombies, I walked along the rocky corridor for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, the front became empty, and a huge underground space came into view.

Bullingdon Stone is in sight. It is not so much a city as a fortress embedded in the underground rock wall.

Viewed from a distance, the stone city is built on a steep rock wall. There are many rooms recessed into the rock wall that are almost vertical to the ground. The dense stone chambers are like a honeycomb.

All the lights in the city were extinguished and it was pitch black. From the outside, no one could be seen at all, as if it was still that abandoned city.

Bullingdon Stone City originally had a spiral rock staircase several stories high, which could be followed into the city entrance. However, the rock staircase has now been demolished and replaced with a steam-driven lift. After the steam engine is shut down, the lift rises to the highest level. At this point, the passage into Shicheng has been completely closed.

The steam lift is only a superficial entrance. Stone City actually has a secret tunnel leading to the outside world. This secret tunnel was dug by Luo Feng at a later stage under the orders of the gray dwarves. Even the geologists in the legendary adventure group did not know it.

Elminster saw at a glance that the mission target that the adventure group was pursuing was standing on a rocky platform high in the stone city.

Other members of the adventure group also discovered the figure of Bradero. The elf magic archer immediately opened his bow and nocked an arrow, raised his hand and shot. The tracking arrow turned several times in the air, as if it had eyes, and rushed towards Bradero. .

Bradlow, however, seemed not to notice the tracking arrow that was fired. He looked down at the legendary adventure group with a smile, and his eyes met Elminster's.

Just before the tracking arrow was about to hit the target, a red blade flashed away, and the arrow was split into two pieces and fell at Bredlow's feet.

Arkanis released his invisibility and emerged, standing in front of Bredero.

"Old sage, we have not seen each other for a long time after seeing each other for many years in the city of Ascaltra!"

Luo Feng shook his arm towards Elminster and shouted loudly: "What kind of wind brings you here?"

Drizzt also slowly walked out of the shadows and appeared next to Luo Feng. The dark elf ranger looked at Elminster with complicated eyes. This sage had guided him and took risks with him to find the legendary Mithril Stream.

At that time, Drizzt admired Elminster's wisdom immensely. He followed him as an example and hoped that he would be as wise and kind as him in his lifetime.

But now, after studying the red theory in depth, Drizzt looks at Elminster from a different perspective, and his feelings in his heart are more complicated.

Elminster also had complicated emotions. The two young people he was most optimistic about today, the great artist Bredro and the great hero Drizzt, Elminster thought that these two people would become the leaders of justice and beauty in Faerun. He set an example in the direction of good causes and became a great figure whose name will be passed down in history a thousand years later.

The old sage never expected that these two people would degenerate into the culprits that disturbed the balance of the world.

"Bradlow, my former friend."

Elminster smiled bitterly and said: "You are from Sigil City. I guess you were influenced by the 'Godless Sect' and 'Revolutionary Alliance' in Sigil City to create a heresy like the Red Faith. Maybe you are Yes, but the red faith is not suitable for Faerûn. Ms. Pain does not care about the coexistence of chaos and order in Sigil. However, the gods of Faerûn cannot tolerate the order that has been formed for thousands of years being challenged by outsiders. Your goal is impossible. Realizing it will only result in the sacrifice of innocent people in vain.”

Elminster tried hard to persuade: "If you can lead your followers to leave the main material plane, I can open a space door to the demiplane for you, and you can completely establish your own in the demiplane. Utopia."

Luo Feng asked in surprise: "Don't you think I am the evil devil who must be eliminated?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Elminster said calmly: "Actually, I can't tell whether your red theory is right, but Faerun can't bear the risk of failure. The price is too high."

Luo Feng said seriously: "Old sage, I'm sorry, your conditions are very generous, but I can't accept it. Building an utopia is not my goal, liberating the people of Faerun is. The battle of ideas has nothing to do with good or evil."

Elminster sighed and tightened his grip on the staff. Divine power and magical aura shone around him at the same time.

"It's such a shame, you shouldn't have forced me."

The old sage exudes a power that even a giant dragon cannot match: "I really don't want to resort to force to fight over ideas, but I have no other choice. Force may not solve the problem, but it can eliminate it... "
