Because he was wearing the appearance of Iolum, Garen attracted the attention of many arcanists and believers as soon as he appeared at the gate of the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
The real Iolum has been in the magic sunflower field these years.
And because of Garen's impersonation, he appeared twice in the Church of the Goddess of Magic.
One time was for Karthus, and the other time is now.
"Dear Arcanist King, you..."
When an arcanist saw Garen, he hesitated for a few moments and came up to ask him about Netheril's future, but was stopped by Garen's indifferent look.
Very quickly.
Personnel from the Church of the Goddess of Magic stepped forward to welcome the Arcanist King.
This time, Garen didn't do what he did last time. He only stayed outside for a while and then left directly.
Accompanied by the believers, he entered the interior of the temple.
In the vast temple hall, light shines in from the hollow windows in all directions. At the top of the hall, if you raise your head, you can see a strange picture flowing like a vast starry sky. Countless stars representing magic are intertwined into a bright sky.
Galaxy shape.
"Your arrival makes this place shine."
After hearing about the arrival of 'Iolum', the bishop of this church branch hurried over.
The King of Arcanists does have face, and the bishop of the Church of the Goddess of Magic met with him, and his attitude was quite respectful.
Garen, who transformed into Iolum, turned his head and his eyes fell on the bishop here.
The bishop here is a woman who looks to be around thirty years old. She is an arcanist and a priest belonging to the goddess of magic. She wears the holy emblem of the whirling seven stars on the collar of her light blue robe.
Inside the church, there is also a statue of the goddess of magic.
Garen simply said a few words to the bishop, then raised his head and set his sights on the statue of the goddess of magic.
Looking directly at the statue of a god without permission is often regarded as disrespectful to the god. This scene made the bishop next to him slightly dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything.
"I want to know whether the Church of the Goddess of Magic assisted the arcanists in fighting against the phaerimms when I, Netheril, was fighting fiercely with the phaerimms."
Garen glanced at the statue of the goddess of magic, and then suddenly asked the bishop.
The bishop was stunned for a moment, and then said truthfully: "As followers of the great goddess of magic, we are warned to abide by the agreements between the gods and not to participate in war disputes between secular dynasties without proper reasons."
It's similar to when Garen was in Noah's continent.
The Church of God will not interfere in wars in the main material world without proper reasons.
This is an agreed and customary rule that is observed by all the gods.
Garen smiled softly and said: "The Church of the Goddess of Magic prospered because of the Nether Empire. The power of the Goddess of Magic became powerful because of Nether. Even the churches of the Goddess of Magic were built in Nether's floating cities. They were influenced by Nether.
Under the protection of the Arcanist."
He looked at the statue and said, "Is this a suitable reason?"
After hearing what Galen said, the bishop looked embarrassed and said to Galen: "Honorable King of Arcanists, our Lord has never given instructions..."
The words just fell.
A vast and sacred power suddenly descended.
The goddess of magic, the mysterious lady, the mother of magic... a powerful divine power with many titles has arrived.
This moment.
With this floating city as the center, the magic network with a radius of hundreds of kilometers seems to be boiling, and countless elemental energies are singing and dancing, flowing in the surrounding air, as if to celebrate the arrival of the goddess of magic.
The bishop's body glowed with the brilliance of divine power.
She looked surprised, and then in the light of divinity, her face suddenly became indifferent, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a pair of eyes as deep as the stars and the sea fell on Garen.
At this time, the bishop's consciousness has been replaced by the will of the goddess of magic.
She folded her hands and placed them elegantly in front of her lower abdomen. With a sweet voice like the sound of clear springs, she whispered to Garen: "Travelers from other times, if you interfere with the normal direction of time, aren't you afraid of the backlash from the long river of time?
?”
Obviously.
The disguise of the King of Arcanists did not fool the goddess of magic.
And because she has the priesthood of time, the first time she saw Garen, the goddess of magic discerned the strange connection between him and the river of time.
"Good day, great goddess of magic."
As he spoke, the appearance of the Arcanist King gradually changed, and he quickly turned into a gigantic dragon shining with silver light. His huge size made the originally vast temple hall seem narrow.
Garen lowered his eyes and looked at the incarnation of the goddess of magic's will with a polite and respectful attitude.
On the other side, the expression of the incarnation of the goddess of magic's will remained unchanged.
"Thousands of years ago, you secretly pushed the ancient Imasca Empire to its demise."
"Thousands of years later, you are here again to interfere with the future of the Nether Empire."
"Tell me, what is your purpose?"
According to what he meant, this magic goddess had already noticed the existence of Garon, the time dragon, in the last thousand years.
Garen smiled slightly and said in a sincere tone: "Because I don't want to see a great and beautiful goddess fall because of Netheril in the near future."
The goddess of magic's eyes moved slightly, and her starry eyes flickered.
"oh?"
"The great and beautiful goddess you are talking about should be referring to me. Are you saying that I will fall because of the Nether Empire?"
The expression of the sorceress fluctuated for the first time, revealing an expression of interest.
He was very curious about Gallon's words.
Gods are not omnipotent.
Even with powerful divine power, one cannot know his own fate and future. Only when it comes and cannot be changed, will he realize that he is about to die.
The goddess of magic has the priesthood of time.
He can predict the future and understand the fate of all things, but he cannot see the end of his own fall.
"Yes."
"If you are interested in this, I can tell you the timeline."
Garen looked down at the goddess of magic and said.
"So, what's the price?"
"I remember that the dragon never does anything to lose money."
The goddess of magic said with a smile, seemingly not at all nervous about her imminent death.
After all, this is a powerful god, the incarnation of the magic network, who has seen strong winds and waves.
Galen said sincerely: "Madam, you have been operating the Order Magic Network, which has provided infinite convenience to spell casters in many worlds. As a spell caster, I can provide you with information for free out of respect for you.
"
The goddess of magic shook her head slightly and said: "The Order Magic Network is my responsibility, I don't need anything in return."
He looked at Galen and said softly: "I never accept kindness from others. Tell me, what do you want?"
The free ones are the most expensive.
Garen wanted to obtain a favor from a powerful god, thinking that he might be able to use it in the future, but it seemed that the other party was not willing to grant him the favor.
That being the case..........
Garen thought for a moment and said the bold words in a calm tone.
"Madam, how about you tell me the structural principles and order of the Magic Network? I am very interested in the Magic Network and want to build my own magic network in other worlds."
Hear Gallon's words.
The goddess of magic was stunned.
After a moment, He stopped laughing and said, "You are trying to gain my authority in front of me."
"Young man who has just reached the level of demigod, I seem to have underestimated your courage."
The magic web is one of the priesthoods that the goddess of magic relies on for her survival.
This magical network does not only exist in Faerûn, but also manifests itself in many prime material worlds.
The other deity who is most at odds with the Goddess of Magic is the Dark Goddess Shar. The fundamental reason for their disagreement is that the Dark Goddess imitated the Magic Web and created the Shadow Magic Web, competing with the Magic Goddess for the power of the Magic Web.
Asking for the magic net in front of him, even for the goddess of magic who has experienced endless years, this is the first time she has heard such a bold request.
However, Garen's frank request did not directly arouse the hostility of the goddess of magic.
He knew that Garen knew the importance of the Demonic Network to him.
However, under such circumstances, Galen still made this request.
The goddess of magic waited for Garen's explanation.
Garen smiled, the dragon's claw moved slightly, and the long river of time rippled.
"Ma'am, you know I come from another time, from the future."
"But you may not know that the timeline I am in and the timeline here are like two infinitely extending lines, and there will no longer be any communication."
After a pause, Garen said: "I will not create a magic network here, so you don't have to worry about your authority."
He smiled and said: "What I need to worry about is the magic goddess in my timeline, a mortal woman who eventually replaced you."
There have been three goddesses of magic.
The first one, the one in front of Garen at this time, was targeted by Karthus' divine magic. Because Karsus did not have the power of the magic network in many worlds of order, the magic network collapsed instantly, and countless worlds of magic energy
The riots caused huge disasters.
Afterwards, this goddess sacrificed her life in order to maintain the collapsed magic network and prevent many living beings from suffering.
The second goddess of magic died in the Year of Turmoil.
The Year of Turmoil was the last appearance of Io, the god of gods. He deprived many gods of their power and pushed many gods into the material world.
The power of God above God is evident.
In the Year of Turmoil, a large number of old gods died and new gods were born.
After this, God-on-God seemed to be tired of controlling the multiverse and the gods, and no longer showed up, leaving no trace.
The third goddess of magic was a shepherdess with incredible luck, who inherited the power of the goddess of magic in a turbulent year.
However, in the main timeline where Garen is located, the reputation of the third goddess has not been very good.
"A mortal who inherited my power? Haha, very interesting."
The goddess of magic frowned slightly, but quickly smiled again.
"I agree to this deal."
He said to Gallon.
Garen smiled slightly and said, "You will not regret your decision at this time."
Immediately, Garen slowly informed the Goddess of Magic of the time frame he had sorted out for the death of Netheril and the Goddess of Magic.
The goddess of magic listened to Garen's words and showed obvious curiosity when she heard about the art of ascending to the gods.
All spell casters are very curious about novel spells.
As the goddess of magic, the mother of magic, this curiosity is only heavier than that of ordinary spellcasters.
"Seize the divine head, ascend to the gods in one step, ascend to the gods..."
"I paid attention to that little guy with extraordinary talent, and I even thought about recruiting him to become my disciple."
"I just didn't expect that he could develop such a spell in the future that even surprises me."
The goddess of magic slowly exhaled.
The Goddess of Magic felt that the way Garen told her about his death was extremely reasonable. She knew herself well and knew that she would really make the kinds of choices Garen said.
As for the mastermind behind this, the Lord of the End of All Things.
The goddess of magic has a hostile relationship with the Lord of the End of All Things, and it is indeed reasonable that he is planning the Nether Empire.
only.........
"Yager's original goal was to kill me, or did he just want to destroy Nether, but by some mistake, it led to my downfall in the future?"
The goddess of magic was thinking quietly.
If it's the former, then the Lord of the End of All Things is too terrifying, capable of causing the fall of powerful divine power without even killing anyone.
The Goddess of Magic further believed that her fall was due to fate and the accumulation of countless coincidences, and that the Lord of the End of All Things targeted the Nether Empire was just an opportunity for everything to begin.
On the other side, Garen looked at the goddess of magic and asked a question he had always had.
"Madam, you know yourself best. I would like to know why you allowed Karsus to use the Ascension Technique on you?"
When listening to what the Mother of Dragons said about the death of the Goddess of Magic, what Garen was most confused about was that a great arcanist and a twelve-ring spell, no matter how abnormal the effect, logically speaking, would not be able to deal with a powerful divine power, especially a powerful one.
The powerful divine power of the goddess of magic takes effect.
The goddess of magic should be able to sense it before Karsus's ascension spell is successfully cast.
Garen asked the Dragon Mother this question.
The Mother of Dragons said that except for the goddess of magic herself, who would know what she was thinking at the beginning?
The fall of this powerful god was so sudden that even the gods found it difficult to accept.
Now that the goddess of magic was in front of her, Garen asked this question.
The goddess of magic bit her lower lip, hesitated for a while, then blinked her eyes and said quite innocently: "Maybe it's because I want to see the specific effect of the ascension technique, and I'm curious whether he can succeed."
"My curiosity about new spells is a little bit more than ordinary people."
After hearing the answer, Garen was stunned.
This means that the goddess of magic wanted to experience the power of the divine ascension spell, but she didn't expect that this spell could really take away her extraordinary divine power for an instant.
All in all, it was a waste of time.
"Spellcasters always die out of curiosity."
"It seems that the goddess of magic is no exception."
Garen shook his head slightly, feeling that this answer was reasonable.
If he were the goddess of magic, she would probably be very curious and want to see if a spell targeting the gods could succeed.
However, this time the price of curiosity was too high.
"So, do you still want Karsus to research the art of ascension?"
"No matter how coincidental it is, in the final analysis, it is this spell that makes you fall and die in the future."
Garen asked.
"Let me tell you first, I need to ascend to the gods, and I don't want to be your enemy."
He added without being humble or condescending.
The goddess of magic shook her head and said with a smile: "After knowing that this spell can cause my death, I want to see the day when it can successfully appear in the world."
Now it can even be said that the goddess of magic is more looking forward to the day when Karsus develops the art of ascension than Garen.
"Of course, if he targets me this time and casts a spell, I won't let him succeed."
After a pause, the goddess of magic's eyes became colder.
He said: "And I'm wondering if, with my help, the Ascension Technique can be effective on the God of Death."
