Arcane Journey

"You are right. This ancient black dragon's soul crystal is indeed the most suitable choice for strengthening Tower Spirit No. 1." Mircella smiled slightly, with wisdom flashing in her eyes, and said to Brian.

"Is there anything else that needs special instructions?" She tilted her head slightly, looking like she was waiting for what to come.

"There's really nothing else to do." Brian shook his head slightly, a hint of thought flashing in his eyes.

He paused, and decided to remind Mircella, "However, right now, what you need to pay most attention to, in addition to maintaining the stability of the floating city, is to guard against the gnolls in the Goblin Borderland."

At this point, Brian's expression became serious.

After pondering it over in his heart, he slowly said, "Because next, I may have to search for the incarnation of Yeenoghu, the King of Gnolls, in the Underdark. If I really find this King of Gnolls and leave his incarnation here forever, then this demon lord is likely to become angry and spread the flames of war from Gedchivor in the Goblin Border to Desert Mouth Town."

When Myrcella heard this, she frowned slightly. Obviously, the potential threat also caused ripples in her heart.

However, her attention was more focused on Brian's safety, and her expression revealed a worry that was difficult to conceal.

"You want to attack the incarnation of the King of Gnolls? Can you really handle it by yourself?"

Her voice was filled with concern and uneasiness.

Brian smiled when he heard this and said jokingly, "Whether it works or not, haven't you seen it a long time ago? Do I need to say more?"

His tone was relaxed, and he didn't seem to take the matter to heart.

Mircella's pretty face turned slightly red, she spat lightly, and rolled her eyes at Brian fiercely through the void.

Despite this, she still reminded him, "I'm not kidding you. In any case, this King of the Gnolls is by no means comparable to an ordinary Demon Lord. He is not only a Demon Lord, but also a Gnoll God with weak divine power. If such an incarnation does not have divine power to assist, even a high-level legendary warrior can only sigh in despair when facing him."

Her tone was filled with worry and concern, and she was clearly deeply troubled by Brian's decision.

Brian naturally knew that Mircella's reminder was a good one, so he didn't show any impatience. He smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "Do you think that even you can consider these issues, but I can't?"

"Don't worry, since I dare to say it, I must have the confidence to do it." He said to Mircella, "Take a step back, even if I really am no match for the incarnation of the King of Gnolls, I can contact you directly and let the entire floating city support my actions."

"That's true. I won't say anything." Mircella smiled slightly, quickly collected her thoughts, and regained her usual calmness and composure. She nodded slightly, her tone gentle but full of power:

"In that case, I will say no more. In short, you must be careful. I will defend the floating city here to ensure its stability, and at the same time keep a close eye on any movement in the goblin wilderness. In addition, I will also send out orders to have everyone be on high alert and be ready to respond to your call at any time and go through danger together."

After cutting off contact with Myrcella, Brian once again turned his attention to the mountain of treasure.

Brian stood in front of the mountain of treasure, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to cast a spell.

As the spell energy surged, the air around him seemed to become heavy and mysterious. A ball of pure white light gathered into a bright spot at Brian's fingertips, and then spread out in an instant.

The light spots instantly turned into countless transparent numbers, flashing in the air.

Then, every gold coin, every gem, and even every small ornament in the treasure was marked with these numbers.

After thinking about the amount of treasure, Brian nodded contentedly and said to himself:
"Originally, I was still thinking about how to make up for the financial deficit after building the floating city. I didn't expect that after slaughtering the fat pig of the ancient black dragon, not only did I make up for the deficit, but I even had a surplus. If I had known, I would have come here earlier to slaughter him."

After all, building a floating city is not something that can be accomplished simply by talking. In addition to the corresponding magical skills, the resources consumed are the biggest expense, especially very rare materials such as refined gold and secret silver, which are so abundant that it is outrageous.

In order to build the floating city, Brian not only emptied his own savings, but also took out more than half of the treasury of the Kingdom of Cormyr, which had just recovered. He even borrowed a large sum of money from the goddess of wealth, and only then did he manage to successfully raise the floating city.

The treasure that the ancient black dragon had accumulated for thousands of years directly cost Brian a huge amount of blood.

In this pile of treasure, in addition to mountains of gold coins and dazzling gems, there are also countless coveted magic equipment and some rare special props.

These equipment, like witnesses of history, quietly tell the glorious stories of the past.

Although most of these magical equipment are only of the second and third level, there are also a few legendary equipment emitting dazzling light in this vastness.

Even though these legendary equipments are not of significant help to Brian, placing them in the contribution pool of the floating city can provide motivation and encouragement for those mage apprentices with dreams.

Without wasting any more time, after clearing out the treasures, Brian immediately set up a huge teleportation array on the ground, and then teleported everything along with the huge body of the ancient black dragon to the treasury of the floating city.

After everything was done, Brian began to think about his next plan.

Recalling Vizlan's mission, he began to confirm the next target to search for.

In Vizlan's task list, Brian has found the main eye of the eye demon, the purple worm eggs and the chief wizard's magic ritual notes.

Next, all that was left were six feathers from different angels, a giant bull demon's heart, a ghost mushroom, and the blood of the demon lord.

For Brian, obtaining six feathers of different angels was not a difficult task. After all, he was blessed by the Celestial Mountain. If he wanted to obtain a few feathers, he only needed to spend some money, summon a few angels through the Covenant of the Other World, and then state his request, and he could obtain them.

Then there is the heart of the giant bull demon and the ghost mushroom. For Brian, this is not a problem at all. It is just a matter of killing a few abyss demons.

The most difficult one is the blood of the demon lord.

Thinking of the incarnations of the demon lords that descended from the Underdark, Brian thought that the best option was to attack the King of the Gnolls. (End of this chapter)
