An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

"I'm sorry, I can only invite you to meet here." Cedric said to Croatia with an apology while designing the underground water network and the true god-level alchemy array hidden in it based on the map provided by Mo Mo.

After all the several meetings and invitations, although Croatia had a strong purpose, it undoubtedly provided a lot of help to Cedric.

"I see that you are very busy." Croatia said nonchalantly. Although He is the God of Nobles, he is also a reincarnation, so he does not care about etiquette like ordinary people.

Even the way he seemed to care about etiquette was a negative effect of becoming a god, coming from the transformation of the self through the power of faith.

Since Croatia didn't care, Cedric didn't hide it and showed the underground water network he designed in front of him. After all, Croatia was also the earliest investor in Dawn City, so of course he had the right to see the design.

As a true god, although Croatia did not elevate alchemy to the realm of gods like Cedric, his understanding is still much better than that of ordinary alchemists.

Both of them have the ability to do two things simultaneously, so while designing the alchemy array in the underground water network, Cedric revealed his purpose of inviting Croatia this time.

"I explored the ruins of a steam civilization a few days ago, and there were three powerful gods watching behind it." Having said this, Cedric was silent for a while. He believed that Croatia understood what he meant.

"Well, that's it." Croatia nodded, "More people are staring at Netheril, but Netheril still exists today. Do you know why?"

The remnants and civilization of Netheril are still spreading brilliance somewhere in the DND universe. This is something that all mages firmly believe, and even the orc gods who hate Netheril civilization the most do not deny this.

Cedric waited for Croatia to continue.

"The first and most important reason is Iolum." The hand that said this name, Croatia even formed a circle of divine power barrier to prevent the conversation here from prying eyes.

"Although Karsus created the unprecedented 12-level spell Karsus, he is still just a younger brother in front of this Nese creator. Even the gods are still very curious about this legendary great arcana. How far has the magician come? After all, he is the only great arcanist who has been in charge of the ancient scrolls of Nese for hundreds of years. Even Ogma, the god of knowledge, would be amazed by the knowledge he gained from it."

"But everyone is very sure that even if it is only calculated based on the level of the extraordinary profession of mage, Iolum is probably the only guy in the universe who has the opportunity to become a god with his basic profession. He is even more suitable for the role of the God of Mage than Azuth. call."

Cedric certainly understands the horror of someone who can become a god just by relying on a basic profession.

In other words, the legends they spread in the DND universe and their own power are enough to directly attract the attention of the world's will.

Many people may not have a clear understanding of the horror of directly becoming a medium observer with personal power.

But give a vivid example and everyone will understand.

The ancient gods all became intermediate observers through their personal power.

Most of the ancient gods have powerful divine power. Even if they are not powerful, they are the ones closest to powerful divine power.

"With such a big boss standing behind Netheril, no wonder the Netherese survivors can still exist." Cedric sighed.

"But even this big boss can't prevent the destruction of Netheril civilization." Croatia sighed. With Iolum's power, knowing the future is probably easier for him than cooking dinner himself, so why did he When Netheril was at its most glorious, he chose to disappear from the sight of people and gods, hiding in the dark.

The final facts also proved that it was precisely because he was hiding in the dark that he was able to preserve the fire for Netheril civilization.

Adding the two together, there is only one reason, and that is that Iolum cannot stop the disaster that destroys the civilization of Netheril.

On the surface, the final symbol of Netheril's destruction is Karthus's art of consecration. Iolum can definitely prevent this. After all, Iolum, who is said to have taught three thousand arcanists, is Karsus. The master.

Continuing to trace back, it is the most famous Felin magic sun incident.

This is a group of strange beings with unknown origins. They were born as if to destroy the most powerful Arcane Empire. This kind of god has extremely high magic resistance, and can also absorb magic energy in a certain area, rendering magic ineffective. change.

It seems to be very restrained against mages, but if you think about it carefully, are arcanists really ordinary mages?

As for the characteristics of the Felin Demon Sunflower, Cedric could think of no fewer than ten solutions, but at the time, these great arcanists, who were at the top of human wisdom, were like a collective Shi Lezhi.

It wasn't until Netheril was severely damaged that they found help from creatures like the Sarran spirits that could restrain the phaerimms.

Therefore, what happened back then was really full of doubts, as mysterious as the monkey making trouble in the Lingxiao Palace.

"The time of Netheril's destruction was the time when the first generation of ancient gods fell." At this point, Croatia stopped continuing.

But Cedric understood what he meant. The so-called first generation of ancient gods were the powerful group of gods who built the City of the Gods.

"Everything seems to be shrouded in fog." Cedric sighed.

"So in fact, the gods are not as afraid of the ruins of Netheril as they imagined. Most of them are the guys who became gods after the fall of the ancient gods. They also want to know what happened in the first place, but they all I just don’t have the guts." Croatia sneered.

The reason why Croatia dares to be so bold is because he has the Lord God Daddy behind him. Once things cannot be done, he can leave the dnd universe and hold the throne high in the new world.

"And in order to continue the civilization of the Netheril Empire, Iolum divided the entire civilization into different ruins and placed them in places where even the gods could not monitor them. Only keys can be used to enter and obtain Netheril. Your legacy, of course, will bear the fate of Netheril accordingly."

So when the other party first chose him, he wanted to choose a suitable scapegoat. Cedric thought, but as his current ally, he did not say this.

"The ruins we are exploring this time are located in the outer plane, the Chaos Sea of ​​Eternal Chaos."

After speaking, Croatia handed Cedric a golden page and a large amount of high-level materials, which was the help he promised to forge a replica of the Nese Scroll.

The two parties have signed a main god contract before, so Croatia is not worried about Cedric running away with these things.

"I understand, but the exploration schedule needs to be carefully considered." Cedric put the things away.

"Of course." Croatia said with a smile, "I know your current situation, so I won't bother you."

After Croatia left, Cedric continued to draw the alchemical diagram of the underground water network. When the bright moon rose, he stopped the half-finished alchemical diagram and took out two items from the storage space.

One is a broken leaf from the ancient scroll of Nese, the other is an investment provided by the Goddess of Wealth, and a set of incomplete Vientiane Impermanence cards.
