The Swordsman of Faerûn

Chapter 15 The Serpent Arena and the Naga

The giant mummy leader is a powerful undead that originated from the powerful and short-lived giant civilization in ancient times, also known as ancient mummy and undead giant.It is said that if this kind of undead is further evolved, it will be the legendary death giant and death titan who dominate the shadow world.

Giants are inherently powerful, not just the physique of a giant.It is extremely difficult, even almost impossible, to transform the strong and almost stubborn giant soul into a mummy.Therefore, some makers who need large-scale mummies usually find some large-scale humanoid beasts as substitute materials for copycats. Of course, the strength of counterfeit products is not satisfactory.

But the material to transform the giant mummy leader must be a giant, and it must be a warlock or priest among giants. Even the most evil giants will not do this kind of blasphemy.Therefore, the maker of the leader of the giant mummy must be the mortal enemy of the giants. The giants in ancient times once launched a crusade war that spread to the entire universe for this reason.

Now the technique of making giant mummies has been lost in the dust of the long history, perhaps there are still some incomplete records in one of the oldest secret places of knowledge in the sea of ​​stars.

The leader of the giant mummy is the best arbiter of death. It has the ability to harvest and imprison the souls of the dead to produce precious soul fragments.

"Humans! Stop your footsteps, those who escape will be wiped out!" The roar of the sky rang in his ears, and the terrifying coercion threatened his mind.Three huge giant mummy leaders appeared in front of and behind William on the left and right respectively, sandwiching him in a triangle shape.

Faced with such a predicament, William would have given up resistance and waited for death if he hadn't been strong enough in his mind. He stopped and waited for his momentum. He clenched the Manticore bone spur in his hand and prepared to fight for his life, but he smiled wryly in his heart: " Sure enough, it's a bad year, it seems that my life is over today!"

"Humans from the surface, come! Choose me as the hunting arbitration! The winner, survive! The loser, the soul will be harvested!" Three identical messages appeared in William's consciousness at the same time.

William's heart moved, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in his desperate heart.

The roar of the giant mummy leader may be just a harsh noise, or it may contain language syllables with special abilities (such as intimidating effects on beings with hearing and hearing abilities), and William has no ability to interpret - he is not a gifted language expert In fact, just the most commonly used and widely spread simple common language by humans in Faerun is enough to make William scratch his head.

However, the telepathic ability possessed by the leader of the giant mummy allows the two extremely different forms of existence to communicate without barriers.Telepathy - a more advanced telepathy ability, creatures with telepathy ability can communicate with intelligent creatures who understand any language or logical communication through telepathy, and under the effect of telepathy, this dialogue is two-way.

In a situation where force may not be able to confront, it is undoubtedly a wiser choice to find a new way out through exchanges and negotiations.So in many cases, enemies who can communicate are easier to deal with than irrational berserkers.

William tried to send a message in Common: "What is this place?"

"This is the land forgotten by time, the city of death's harvest, the place of worship of the Lord of the ancient land - the arena of the snake. Decide your side - in the name of the challenger, the winner will be rewarded, the loser will be rewarded Give your life and soul."

"Snake Arena? What the hell is that?" William thought to himself.No wonder William is ignorant, there are very few people in this world who have only heard of the name "Snake Arena", let alone those who know the inside story, including the gods.

The Arena of Snakes——Originally, the place where the ancient snake god was worshiped as the master of the fight, some legends may be hidden in the oldest secret place in the star world——The bloody battlefield in the depths of the bottomless abyss is the snake The evolution of the arena.

"This is the arena built by the ancient land lord. Gladiators who participate in the fight can obtain knowledge, power, rare materials, creations of various ages and civilizations, and rare beasts... Of course, the premise is that you can always win. "A cold voice sounded in William's heart.

William stood up in horror, and said coldly, "What?"

Cold, dark, dry, death... William felt locked on by a thought full of death malice, and silent ravings lingered in his heart, like the prayer of the god of death.

William waved and shot the bone spur in his hand, and flew towards a snake statue not far away-a humanoid skull attached to the statue's arm.

The Manticore's hard bone spur hit the forehead of the humanoid skull, and it flew out with a "click", bursting out sparks.The humanoid skull only left a white mark on the forehead, and it looked unharmed.Right in front of William's eyes, joints protruded from the back neck of the humanoid skull, like a stretching boa constrictor.

William licked his dry and cold lips, and pulled out the spare bone spur expressionlessly, concentrating on guard, but there was a wave of turmoil in his heart.

Naga, mysterious creatures with human faces and snake bodies from the star world, they swim in the long river of time, as long as they are not destroyed by external forces, they can survive almost infinitely.Hunger and old age cannot defeat the naga, not even the gods of the Astral Plane or the demon lords of the Abyss.

To mortals, naga are mythical creatures that exist in religious myths and legends.However, William has an extraordinary understanding of the naga, which is due to the side effects of the psychological shock from the aboleths. A large amount of knowledge and secrets accumulated by the aboleth clan for thousands of years have been inherited by William. In a sense, this can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Naga are star guardians who protect knowledge, rituals, magic items, and magical areas. Different naga guard different types of knowledge and secrets.And this kind of naga with a humanoid skull head and a body like layers of joints is to guard the knowledge of necromancy or the territory of the dead—especially the bone naga where powerful evil creatures are entrenched.Some Bone Naga also guard the portals leading to the Shadowfall, which means that in the vicinity of the Bone Naga's activities, it is likely to encounter many terrible monsters from the Shadowfall.

William knew that he had been interfered by the Bone Naga's [Death Whispering] domain power, confusing William's perception and judgment, and creating opportunities for the Naga or its companions to make a surprise attack. This is the usual trick of the Bone Naga.

Although the Naga of Bones are frightening, William understands that the enemy he really needs to face is definitely not the Naga.As a higher intelligence than human beings, the immortal naga is more accustomed to being a commander, letting his companions and subordinates go to work hard.

Chapter No.16 Flame and Ice

Sure enough, William's conjecture was verified.A tall, burning Pyro, or a flame archon, appeared very abruptly in front of the Bone Naga.

Originating from the knowledge "shared" by the aboleths, William did not spend much effort to find out the opponent's information.Archon is the existence corresponding to the gods of the heavens. The history of archon can even be traced back to the ancient times when the world was not yet formed. It was when the wild gods fought against the gods in order to compete for the power of creation.In this fierce battle, the gods relied on their huge and skilled army of gods and apostles to beat the wild gods to pieces, and Archon was the warrior created by the wild gods later using elemental creatures as the base material. They hope to use these warriors to form a real army to compete with the gods.

The origin of the archon is not a secret, and even the meaning of their existence is well known by the gods, but the gods cannot ban them, and they can only watch the archon grow day by day, because the existence of the archon is so special .

The base camp of Yakong is in the elemental world, as long as the elemental world is not destroyed, their inheritance will not perish.Archons are the most cost-effective and useful summons and mercenaries in the world. To summon or hire them, the summoner and employer only need to pay a small price, and there is no need to worry about their backlash. One point is almost enough to beat all the demon-type or devil-type counterparts, and even some summoned creatures from neutral or even good camps are not as good.

Yakong has strong strength, good reputation, low salary, dedication to work, as long as there is a battle to participate in, and even brings dry food to generate electricity for love from time to time, it is the most perfect tool man, no matter who it is. Other existences, as long as they hire (summon) Yakong once, they will immediately become addicted, and they will never love other "workers" again.

There are many types of archons, basically there are as many branches of archons as there are elements, but the most common ones are flame archons and ice archons.

And Lie Yan Yakon summoned by the Naga of Bone wore a set of flame-shaped gorgeous plate armor, holding a pair of red flame scimitars, roared at William, and then a stream of fire flew out from Lie Yan Yakon's nose and mouth , rushed straight to William's face, and at the same time, Yakon covered himself and rushed forward with the fire at a speed not inferior to the fire.

The flames hit his face, and William showed a panicked look, as if he couldn't dodge in time, his head and face were being burned, and then Lieyan Yakong cut his neck with crossed knives, and with a click, he cut a lonely.

A pair of big iron-like hands suddenly protruded from the dissipating flames, through Lie Yan's arms made of pure flames, they grabbed the handles of the pair of scimitars.

This sudden change caught Lieyan Archon by surprise. He roared and turned himself into a blazing fireball, wrapping William in it, trying to burn him to ashes.

The bone naga in the distance roared angrily: "Idiot! He is a flame lord who has not advanced! Stay away from him! Stay away from that damned human! I should have thought a long time ago, this bastard has a real flame ( hair)!"

William was immersed in the scorching flames, everything around him was burning, his clothes, his sweat, including his breath, but William didn't feel uncomfortable, he even had an inexplicable feeling that he could Control the surrounding flames, as long as he is willing to let out the blood in his body.

To be honest, William is quite unwilling to do this, the reason is very simple, the flames around him are the essence of the flame archon, which is equivalent to the body of the flame archon, and when he releases his blood, it is equivalent to two There is a certain degree of body-fluid-communication.Although William had a lot of female companions, and sometimes he was a bit ruthless, but asking him to play this with this big fire monster really made William feel a little uncomfortable.

If Qiushuishameng was in his hands, William would never talk nonsense, and just chopped up the fire monster with one knife, maybe he could get some soul residue to eat.If the space ring on his arm can be opened, William can also pull out the ice tide wand and send a powerful ice storm to the flame archon.But the reality is that the knife is not with him, and the space ring cannot be opened, so his methods of dealing with a ball of flames are relatively limited.

The Bone Naga is not a fool who only watches the show. Having understood the essence of William's bloodline, he knows that Lie Yan Yakon is definitely not the opponent of this human who is only one step away from evolving into a flame lord, and it is not just Lie Yan. Archon, almost all flame archon will be restrained by Firelord.Before William and Flame Archon could decide the winner, the Bone Naga began to summon the Frost Archon.

Generally speaking, this is not a good idea, because the ice archon and the flame archon are quite incompatible, unless the summoner uses their own hard power to suppress it forcibly, otherwise the flame archon and the ice archon will fight first when they meet .And that's not the worst of it, the summoner who defied the rules of the archon would be severely restricted in future summoning of the archon unless he commanded the summoned archon to win ten undisputed victories.

But the Naga of Bone ignored this disadvantage. The first ice archon it summoned was a big ice cube holding a icy hammer, an iceman made of royal blue ice, and then the Naga of Bone He summoned a second Ice Archon, holding a sword made of solid ice, and holding a short spear in his other hand, also made of solid ice.

As soon as the two ice archon servants appeared, they found the flame archon, and they launched an attack without hesitation. Kong threw a short spear of ice.

But before the attack of the two ice archons could take effect, the big fireball formed by the flame archons suddenly shattered, and the sparks that changed their voices flew away quickly, leaving only a flame-yellow plate armor falling to the ground, a pair of red flames The scimitar was in William's hand.In the end, William did something he didn't like. He released his blood, which was stronger than Lie Yan (raging flames), out of his body, and merged with the big fireball formed by Lie Yan Yakong. Shredded the body structure of the flame archon.

William just turned slightly to avoid the attack of the short ice spear, and then held two flame scimitars, and flung himself to face the ice archon Frost Hammer.William injected energy and blood into the scimitar, and the red scimitar radiated an incandescent flame that could blind the eyes. He cut off the icy hammer made by the frost hammer with one knife, and then the other scimitar pierced into the ice sub-kon. The body of the Frost Hammer, which was as solid as steel, melted as soon as it touched a hot knife like butter, leaving only a collar of frost plate armor that was almost made of ice crystals and fell to the ground.

William killed an Ice Archon, and naturally he would not let the other one go, the Ice Archon Frost Shaper.The most powerful point of the Frostshaper is that he can create frost and ice out of thin air. His own frozen aura is also more difficult to deal with. It will not only hinder the opponent's actions, but also cause an ice blast effect.

Chapter No.17 With Three Thousand Lives

The Bloodline of Fire and the Frost Ark are mutual restraints. Normally, the Frost Ark always has the upper hand, but it is not so easy when it comes to William.

The qi and blood of Yan that circulated continuously in the body directly isolated the frozen aura of the frost-shaper from the cold sub-air.William rushed in front of his opponent in two or three steps, and a scimitar that was as hot as the sun directly pierced into the body of the Frost Shaper, and then he fled quickly. Picking up the fallen plate armor, he put the ones that could be worn on his body directly, and the breastplate that was too late to wear was used as a shield behind him. William shrunk his body into a ball and fled quickly to the distance.

The scimitar was filled with William's flaming aura, and when this aura completely erupted in the Frostshaper's body and collided with the frozen body of the Ice Archon, it immediately exploded with ten or even a hundred times the power—— Yan Bing is incompatible.

The incomparable big explosion almost swept across the entire underground ruins, the thick rock formation was torn apart, and the powerful shock wave also stirred up the sand on the upper rock formation, sending countless sand and dust into the sky.

Although William had already evaded in advance, he never expected that the power of the explosion would be so terrifying. Under the devastation of the shock wave, his body kept rolling like a rag sack, stirring up bone dust all over the sky, and then he was blown away by a hurricane-like blast. The airflow blows away.

At some point, William, who was almost covered in rotten flesh, suddenly discovered that his space ring could be activated again. He quickly took out a scepter from it, activated the power on it instantly, and then William found himself suddenly appearing in a There are two or three strange spaces the size of a basketball court, with fountain-like clear springs, and many common and cherished fruits and vegetables.

Through the nearly transparent space barrier, William can leisurely appreciate the destructive results of his blow, provided that he heals his injuries first.

Thanks to Grand Arcanist Iolum for his support, William pulled out a revival wand from the ring, and gave himself an [Advanced Restoration Spell], and then he stood up again alive and kicking.

William grabbed a handful of unknown melons and fruits, and started to devour them like a starving ghost. Although the recovery technique cured his injuries, the physical strength and nutrition consumed for this could not be created out of thin air. It made William's hunger feel almost cruel.

However, the melons and fruits here are really delicious, rich in nutrition, sweet and delicious, almost melt in the mouth, and the effect of suppressing hunger is extremely effective.After eating only two fruits the size of melons, William felt his excruciating hunger disappear. Of course, it does not mean that he is full. In fact, his stomach is still empty, and there is no food left.William picked another watermelon-shaped fruit, and while eating it, he carefully put away the scepter and wand that were thrown on the ground.These little things don't do too bad a job, and their utility is miraculous.William suddenly remembered what he had missed, those hills of "garbage", and immediately felt that the melon in his mouth was not tasty, and then his liver twitched with regret.

Eating melon and crying, William looked outside with a dejected face.The Big Bang is finally over.The entire underground ruins were almost razed to the ground. The poor Bing Yakong had already been turned into fly ash. The Naga of Bones who bore the brunt still had almost complete remains. But the three death arbitrators who watched the battle were very miserable. A huge part of the body has been destroyed, leaving only a few stumps and severed heads.

Eat enough, drink enough.William put on the Wings of Liberty suit and walked out of the shelter holding a steel hammer.He first came to the "corpse" of the Naga of Bones, smashed the skull of the Naga with a hammer, and found that it was very hard. He swung the big hammer and hit the Naga's head hard. , "Boom", the Naga of Bone flew out like a pinball.

William looked at the Bone Naga flying tens of meters away, and didn't bother chasing after him. He came to the wreckage of the arbitrator, wondering if he could get some cheap money. After all, he had been wandering in the Northland for a long time. He is considered a half-qualified adventurer, and his ability to touch corpses and pick up leaks is also a bit hot.

To be honest, the giant mummy leaders are full of treasures. Almost every inch of their bodies is made of giant materials that have been corroded with priceless magic materials. Just taking a little bit of it to the human world is enough to make all those who specialize in undead The caster of the line breaks the head.William first put away the maces used by the leader of the giant mummy. These hammers were made of unknown animal bones and skulls, and they were surprisingly heavy.Then there are the remains of two of them with only partial vertebrae and leg bones, also in William's collection.

The last mummy still had half of its head, and there was still a strange crown on the top of the head. When William was about to put him away, the mummy's head actually spoke. More precisely, it should be the only one left. The arbitrator's consciousness came back online.

The arbitrator said: "In the first round of hunting, the prey humans counter-killed the hunter three times in a row, and created an extraordinary burst of energy. It was judged that humans had an absolute advantage. Hunting Lord Dakala, will you continue to implement the hunting oath? "

William was startled, and when he looked back, he saw that the Naga's head that had been blown away by him flew back again, and the marks on the skull that were smashed by his hammer were clearly visible.

The Naga of Bones didn't seem to be in a good condition. It swung its snake-shaped tail sluggishly, swam up to William, and said, "This is a difficult human being to deal with. It's already very difficult to continue hunting. Success, I choose to give up."

The arbitrator said: "Dakara, the hunting lord, you have to be clear, once you give up, you will pay a huge price to compensate this human being. Are you sure you want to give up?"

The Naga of Bone laughed loudly with a piercing and ugly magic voice, and said: "I mortgage my own life in advance, and each time is equivalent to ten times the human life. I need to pay a price equivalent to thirty times the human life. But as a naga, my lifespan is actually unlimited, I just need to sleep for 3000 years. Quack quack—"

After laughing for a while, the Nagadakara of Bones proudly said to William: "Human, you will be rewarded with a lifespan of 3000 years. As a short-lived species, are you satisfied?"

Get an extra [-] years of life, you ask William if he is satisfied?Of course I am very satisfied.Whether it is power, power or wealth, as long as there is time and opportunity, one day you can get it.Only lifespan is the most difficult species shackle to change, including William, a traverser, and there is no way to change it.

The agreement between the two parties was reached, and William felt an inexplicable force descending on him, and he felt as if he had taken off a layer of veil mentally.But if you feel it carefully, there is no change.

After the battle, the ruins that had been razed to the ground recovered quickly in front of William's eyes as if time had flown back, and soon became a brand new city, exactly the same as the original ruins city, except without the dust, bone powder and damage.The rock formations overhead were also repaired, with quicksand poured in to form new rocks.

The only living arbitrator has also turned into a brand new mummy, with a chain armor belt gleaming with magical aura around his body, and his face has turned into pale flesh, but there is no suitable warhammer in his hand.

William asked the arbitrator: "Since the gladiatorial fight is over, can I leave?"

Chapter 18 The Deadly Babylonian Candle

The arbitrator was sizing up his new body carefully. He stared at his eyes gleaming with dark aura, glanced at William indifferently, and said to himself seemingly intoxicated: "Look at this body full of vitality, it's like rebirth. Back in those days, the last time I stepped on the battlefield. The sky was tearing apart, the earth was burning, angels with broken wings wept at my feet, demons shattered and howled in the abyss, I bathed in the blood of the gods, tasted Seeing their fear and despair. Until, I was engulfed by countless army of angels, and became the spoils and slaves of those rebels."

"Did you know? Human bugs, those usurpers who are only fit to roll in the mud, they enslaved me, tortured me, humiliated me, and at the last moment of my relief from the brink of death, they made me immortal Mummy, torment me in eternal pain..."

William had to interrupt loudly: "Hey! Big man, although your misfortune is sympathetic, I'm afraid I don't have time to stay here and chat with you. My family is waiting for me to go back!"

The arbitrator glanced at the equipment on William's body, showed a look of interest, and said pretending to be displeased: "Another bug that can't hold back. Human, you took something you shouldn't take, and want to leave If not, you must return them first!"

I took something I shouldn't have?William shook his head, and immediately thought of the remains of the other two mummies he had put away. He immediately took them out and put them on the ground, saying, "Can I leave this time?"

The arbitrator shook his head and said, "It's not these residues, it's that... that..." Due to some kind of prohibition, he couldn't name the target.

William thought for a while, took out a huge mace, and asked, "Is it this?"

The arbitrator said: "Yes! Also, you have to return them all."

William said, "I can give it all back to you. But, what can you do for me, big man? You have to know, these should be my trophies."

Pointing to the surrounding buildings, the arbitrator said: "For countless years, hundreds of millions of gladiators have been received here. Some of them successfully took away their trophies, but more were buried here. They left countless Garbage, but there are also some treasures in it, and they are hidden in those buildings. If you are willing to return the things that should not be taken, I can allow you to obtain the qualification to enter those buildings for treasure hunting."

William looked around at the buildings full of mystery, and said with a little regret: "It sounds like a good idea, but this is not what I need urgently. To be honest, I am not short of treasures for the time being, big man."

The arbitrator asked, "Then what do you want before you return it?"

William tentatively said: "Not long ago, I met an aboleth in a nearby underground pool, and lost a weapon that I carried with him. I wonder if you can help me find it?"

"Aboleth? Oh, there is indeed such a poor guy nearby, an unlucky guy who can only survive by eating bugs. I have to say, your luck is very good, human bugs. Under normal circumstances, poor Tabby Nakos will never let go of any humans or other bipedal bugs that pass through his hunting range." The arbitrator said with a bit of teasing in his tone.

"Human bugs, limited to a certain agreement, I can't get back your lost things for you, but I can send you there, directly to the vicinity of your lost things. Of course, as for whether you can get back from that raging slime again If you escape from the hands of the monster, it will only depend on your luck."

Hearing this, William didn't really care about the arbitrator's warning, because he had already imagined how to fight against that underwater monster. It has to be said that using the knowledge that came from the aboleth to fight against the aboleth is a wonderful idea. causal loop.Without hesitation, he took out the remaining two giant hammers and returned them to the leader of the giant mummy, and then the arbitrator got a candle with a handle from somewhere, yes, an unlit candle.

The arbitrator handed the candle to William, and said: "This is the Babylonian magic candle. It is refined from the essence of a kind of praying magic spirit that has become extinct in ancient times. Hold it tightly and light it, and you can go to your Go anywhere you want. Remember, the Magic Candle of Babylon is not a teleportation technique, don't try to use it to travel, abuse it will make you pay a price you will never be willing to bear."

William took the candle with joy, and asked curiously, "How many times can this thing be used?"

The arbitrator said: "Theoretically, the Babylon magic candle can be used unlimited times, but what it burns is your causal line. Every time you use it, you will suffer a betrayal. Of course, if you are not worried about falling into the situation of betrayal, you You can use it however you want."

William was horrified, and asked with an ugly face, "Will I be betrayed by the people around me if I use this thing once?"

There was an inexplicable smile on the dead face of the arbitrator, and said: "It depends on how far you are sent by the Babylonian magic candle, from here to the aboleth, you may only be slightly teased by people you just met Take a moment. If you're going for a run to the end of the world, watch out for a deadly backstab from your nearest and dearest."

The arbitrator did not mention the scariest thing about the Babylonian magic candle. It is difficult to get rid of the dependence on this kind of strange thing made by ancient evils once. Betrayed, betrayed by one's own concept of existence, and become an unheard, invisible, and unknowable lonely ghost, is the most tragic ending of an intelligent life.As a soul enslaved by the ancient gods, the arbitrator is happy to help the fall of a human elite on the main plane.

However, the arbitrator overlooked the fact that William is not ignorant of the Babylonian magic candle. The shared knowledge from the aboleths is a treasure trove. Although he can't fully understand it, he can look up ancient secrets with the help of "keywords" Still easy.

Aboleth is worthy of being the race known as the recorder of the historical yearbook. Their memory not only has various inside stories and usage examples of the Babylonian magic candle, such as the inside story of the ancient god of desolation—Ubtao the fraudster betraying the camp of the god of desolation. It is related to the abuse of the Babylonian magic candle by the Rage God camp, and even the birth of the goddess of luck, Tymora, and the goddess of misfortune, Beshaba, is not unrelated to the abuse of the Babylonian magic candle by the goddess of luck, Taj.

From the memory bank of the aboleth, William found a trick to temporarily shield the influence of Babylon's magic candle. Of course, this trick can only be used once, and the next time it will inevitably suffer a more serious backlash.This also meant that after William used the Babylon magic candle once, he had to abandon it immediately, or find a new owner for it.

The trick to shield the influence of the Babylonian magic candle is very simple. The causal line that the Babylonian magic candle burns is determined by the user's thoughts. Under normal circumstances, the magic candle user will start to burn from the lesser causal line in the subconscious, but If the user consciously restrains his thoughts and starts to burn directly from the most important causal line, the Babylonian magic candle will also be executed mechanically when it is used for the first time. What in this world has more influence on fate than the Babylonian magic candle fatal?No!

As long as the user of the magic candle confirms that the cause and effect between the Babylon magic candle and himself is the heaviest, he can light this causal line.Then, the user can naturally abandon or give away the betrayed Babylonian magic candle.

Chapter 19 Awakening Sincerity

The tricks of using the Babylonian Magic Candle are simple to say, but there is one of the most critical hurdles, how do you really believe that this thing is your Master? Some more idealistic concepts.

The mind said: You are my true destiny, the only one in the future.

Instinct said: No!You are nothing!You are a dog's tail grass!

After actually using the Babylonian Magic Candle once, the situation changed again.

The brain said: You are a disaster, I will abandon you, abandon you, abandon you, and say important things three times.

Instinct said: You are my only one, my favorite!Even if the whole world betrays me, I will never be separated from you!

In short, it is not a simple matter to safely use the Babylonian magic candle, at least William can't do it, he is not the kind of master who is good at modifying idealism.But William still used the Babylonian Candle without hesitation. The reason is very simple. He discovered a secret from the shared memory of the aboleths. The aboleths have always been eager for the Babylonian Candle. The Magic Candle of Babylon finds their Scarlet Queen—Paiskessyth.

In order to get the Babylonian Candle, Aboleth was even willing to pay any price, including removing the curse from the Candle for the previous Candle user.

As for why William had to use this dangerous method, the reason was very simple, because at this moment, a certain inexplicable premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, and a fatal crisis that was close to death was approaching.This is a kind of predictive ability that William has faintly realized since he encountered the aboleth. It was not until he defeated the Naga of Bones and obtained some kind of reward in the dark that this kind of consciousness was completely formed. Before moving the cicada, I will be aware of it, plotting impermanence and death without knowing it.
