Arcane Journey

Brian was secretly delighted to see that the Chief Wizard was finally willing to give in.

Even though he sounded so confident when he spoke just now, he was actually a little nervous inside.

As the saying goes, I'm not afraid of you crying or making a fuss, I'm just afraid of you not crying or making a fuss.

If the great wizard refuses to budge, he might really have to return to the floating city and mobilize all the power he can to research a new magic notebook.

"If you have any requests, please feel free to ask," Brian said to the chief wizard sincerely, "If it is something I can do, I will do my best."

"This matter is both simple and difficult for you." The chief wizard rarely smiled, and then he sighed deeply, as if he was reminiscing about something.

"I didn't expect that so many years have passed without me noticing. Everything is changing silently." He sighed, "If you hadn't suddenly appeared and changed my plan for many years, perhaps I would still be kept in the dark and never recognize my own strength and status."

"Lies are not scary, the truth is the sharpest knife." The chief wizard said to Brian, "Your appearance is like a sharp knife, ruthlessly chopping my dignity into pieces, making me realize how ignorant I am. However, if I were to choose again, I would still rather be ignorant. After all, knowing too much makes life too tiring."

After he finished speaking, his mind moved slightly and a flash of magical light appeared.

Then, Brian saw a longbow appear on the table.

This is a plain longbow.

The wooden surface of the longbow has shown traces of time, weathered and peaceful.

It lies quietly on the table, without any decoration, simply showing its existence.

The faint demonic fire sprinkled on the longbow through the window of the wizard tower, outlining a faint warm color.

There were a few dead leaves scattered next to the longbow, as if they were traces left by the passing of time.

There were no fancy decorations or bright lights around, only silence and peace.

The longbow stood there silently, like a silent witness.

This plain longbow is not eye-catching, but it reveals a simplicity and perseverance.

It does not need to be ostentatious or boastful, it just seems right in this simple and quiet environment.

When Brian first saw it, he would instinctively ignore it, but when he looked at it carefully, he was surprised to find that there was something extraordinary in this ordinary thing.

"This is..." Although he already had a vague guess in his heart, he still couldn't believe it because the bow looked so ordinary. He could only subconsciously look at the chief wizard to confirm with him.

"Just as you thought." The chief wizard said in an old voice, "You guessed right. What appeared before you is the lost longbow. Now I ask you to give it to someone who needs it, because only its owner can activate the true power. Otherwise, it will be just as you see before your eyes."

"I see." Brian nodded thoughtfully, and his mind couldn't help but recall what the drow girl Sandira had said to him when he was in Misty Valley.

At that time, Santilla told him that the main reason she came to Misty Valley was to find a bow.

It has now been confirmed that Santilla is the reincarnation of the Dark Maiden Eilistraee.

Eilistraee's archery skills are far superior to her swordsmanship. The main reason why she is reluctant to use it is that she was almost shot and killed her father, the elven god Corellon Larethian, by a single arrow due to the trickery of the Spider Queen Lolth.

As a result, she sealed her weapons and swore an oath never to use ranged weapons.

Brian had speculated at the time that it was most likely her rebirth, which meant that the past Eilistraee had long since died, and the oath had naturally dissipated with the wind, so the reincarnated dark girl began to pay attention to her archery skills.

But what puzzled Brian was that Santilla had clearly told him that her dream told her that the longbow surrounded by stars was hidden in Myth Drannor.

This was also the reason why she appeared in Misty Valley. But what made Brian unbelievable was that the longbow appeared in the hands of the chief wizard.

I don’t know who is right or wrong.

Unfortunately, Brian had never seen Santila since their last meeting. He had searched for her for a long time in Mith Drano, but still could not find any trace of her.

You can only give up on the grounds that the other party has his own plans and important missions.

"If it was so easy for people to guess its location, it would not have been preserved until now." The Archmage saw Brian's thoughts and doubts and explained to him: "This is the sealed artifact. The seal on it can only be opened by its owner himself."

He said solemnly, "Now, I beg you to return it to its real owner if you have the chance."

"Don't worry, I will definitely return it to its rightful owner." Brian assured the Chief Wizard.

After saying that, he raised his hand and picked up the longbow.

But what Brian didn't expect was that when he picked up the longbow, his vision suddenly went dark, as if the world was spinning, and his figure appeared in an unknown void.

When he looked up, bright stars suddenly filled the night sky.

And under the vast starry sky, Brian saw the ordinary longbow.

This longbow seems to have infinite power. It is surrounded by stars like a dazzling star.

Each bowstring shines with silver light, and is particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the starry sky.

This feeling is like when the holder of the longbow holds the longbow, he feels the deep, vast and boundless power of the starry sky injected into his body, and his heart seems to resonate with the universe.

The stars twinkle and shine, as if injecting endless inspiration and courage into the bow holder.

The most important thing is that this longbow has long shed its ordinary appearance. It is inlaid with exquisite and gorgeous gems, shining with colorful light against the backdrop of stars, as if it is the eye of the universe watching everything in the mortal world, foreshadowing that the thread of fate is about to be intertwined.

Deep in Brian's consciousness, the longbow appeared as hazy as a dream.

At this moment, he seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space, witnessing the magnificent moment when a beautiful figure drew the longbow.

The longbow was like a shining pearl in the night sky, surrounded by stars and emitting a mysterious silver light.

When the mysterious man slowly pulled the bowstring, Brian seemed to feel the stagnation of time and the contraction of space.

As the bowstring was pulled to the full moon state, a powerful energy surged out from the longbow and gathered into a silver arrow.

The arrow was like a shooting star, crossing the dark night sky.

The trajectory it left brought about a meteor shower. In the light of the stars, the arrow was like a beacon guiding destiny, pointing straight into the distance.

At that moment, Brian felt the infinite power contained in the arrow.

It is not just a simple arrow, but also carries the magnificent power of heaven and earth and the vast energy of the universe.

Every arrow shot is accompanied by deafening force and the spread of sound waves, as if telling of a power and wisdom beyond mortals.

At this moment, Brian deeply realized that this longbow surrounded by stars was more than just a weapon.

It is also a mysterious medium, a divine tool that connects mortals with gods and resonates with the ancients. (End of this chapter)
