Especially when a black mist emerged fiercely, Filancini was like an octopus, hanging tightly on Gavin's body, fearing that the two of them would be separated.
The moment he saw the black mist, Gavin felt the cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to his scalp, making his whole body feel cold.
In his eyes, it was not black mist, but a terrifying monster that could devour people's souls.
A name surged into Gavin's mind uncontrollably.
The demiplane of fear.
It is also called the land of fog, because it is shrouded in fog all year round and is divided into different areas. The fog is like living creatures, often invading other planes and bringing the creatures there back there forever.
Imprisoned here, even the mighty power of the gods cannot cover it. Everything there is dominated and ruled by the lord of the Demon Realm, so that world is also called the Demon Realm.
There are legends and stories about that terrifying existence all over Faerûn, most of which are related to tragic and tragic disappearance stories.
There are many secrets and legends about it, but few people know about it. Just like its name, it is shrouded in mystery.
Because it has a terrifying characteristic, it is like a prison, imprisoning anyone who enters its world, whether actively or passively.
Except for the etheric mist, there is no core Huan Yulan Valerian writing portal connected to it, and inter-dimensional teleportation spells have no effect on it. Even the powerful nine-ring wish spell cannot bring out the people who entered that plane.
That world.
The only thing that is certain is that the world is dominated by evil, and countless crazy, evil, weird, twisted, and terrifying things are happening in that world.
Filancini is trapped in that world now.
What surrounded her was not all kinds of scary things, but loneliness.
She was trapped in an empty mage tower, surrounded by endless fog, without any living creatures, not even any sounds, and there was endless loneliness.
It is an isolated island in the fog, and the only bright spot is probably the only window there. That window is connected to nothing else, and it is the magic cabin buried deep east of the Stone Pony Hotel.
For a legendary caster, the scary thing is not all kinds of monsters. Even in an evil demiplane, legends are not the top existence.
But if you face that kind of loneliness, even if you are a legendary spellcaster, there is nothing you can do.
In front of it, there is no difference between legendary casters and ordinary people. It is just that their willpower is stronger and they can endure it for a longer time, but the thought of never-ending will still make people feel endless despair and fear.
.
That would explain why Gavin provoked Filancini one after another, but the legendary spellcaster was still so easy to shut up and spared no effort to help him.
Because she subconsciously wants to communicate more with others, she is also full of contradictions in the reconstruction of the Stone Pony Hotel.
Even if he is afraid that his biggest secret will be exposed, his anchor point in the material plane will be destroyed, and he will not even have a chance to appear in the material plane for a short time, but he will be trapped in that foggy and lonely tower, facing endless loneliness alone.
She also hopes that the hotel can be rebuilt so that more people can move in. In that case, she can at least contact more people through that window, even if she scares travelers with a crying witch or a silent phantom.
For those who are extremely lonely, this is a fun little game.
Gavin asked Filancini with a toothy smile and said, "He took me home."
Before he finished speaking, the previous process was completely reversed.
The suction force turned into a pushing force, pushing Gavin and Filancini out. The black mist moved away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the mist was also shrinking.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the basement of the Stone Pony Hotel.
The only change was that Filancini was hanging on her body like an octopus like she was in the fog.
The emotional fantasy of meeting friends over wine is very unique, with the real and the fake mixed together.
Even if it is Gavin, there is no way to be 100% sure whether he, as a bystander, participated in the reappearance of Filancini's emotions just now?
No doubt they really walked around in the etheric mist, went deep into the demiplane of fear that makes people talk about it, and made some on-the-spot observations.
At least the previous touch was 100% real and not a false construct.
As a bystander, Gavin couldn't completely tell the difference, let alone Filancini as a person involved.
Gavin could clearly smell the unique scent emanating from her body. The liquid orchid was mixed with traces of mist, as if it had substance. His whole nose was itchy, but it was extremely charming, which made him endure it.
Keep hearing more.
"They are really back?" Filancini still looked shocked, "Has he left that ghost place?"
After speaking, she couldn't help but observe her body, and the expression of surprise that just appeared suddenly froze, because the layer of strange fog was still wrapped around her.
"They are back temporarily, my body is still trapped in the land of mist." Of course Gavin is unable to bring Filancini out of the land of mist.
Just now, I simply felt that my ability to drink with friends was fading, so I took the opportunity to pretend to be something to deepen her impression of me and gain favor.
Meeting friends over wine has begun to take effect.
At least Filancini didn't show much strange emotion when the two of them came into close contact. She separated without leaving a trace and quickly sorted out her personal emotions. The look of a weak and helpless little woman was quickly fading away.
, and once again became the legendary spellcaster shrouded in mist and aloof.
After hearing Gavin mention the name of the Land of Mists, her expression fluctuated again. It was not as serious as before. She tried her best to make her voice sound very calm, "I have heard of that place too? I was wrong.
How much does it know?”
"Have you ever heard someone talk about it before, so my understanding is very limited." Gavin explained in detail what he knew about the situation here.
"The land of mist?" Filancini nodded involuntarily, that name was so fitting to her situation, "Where did I get that information? Is it possible to get more specific information? What kind of demonic realms are there in that world?
?How to get rid of it completely?"
Even if he is not a legendary spellcaster, he is still omnipotent and omniscient.
At least before she was trapped here, she had never heard of it. It was the first time she had come into contact with someone who knew something about it.
"Sorry, madam, what I said before is not everything he knows. For a while, he can't remember where he learned the information, but he will try his best to recall it and find a way to get you out of trouble completely.
method."
Gavin said with a sincere face, "Ma'am, can you tell me why I ended up in this situation? He can also collect more information in that area based on my situation. I need someone to tie the bell."
.”
Perhaps the wrong party already understands his situation and has nothing to hide.
Or perhaps drinking to increase the favorability of friends can make the legendary caster less wary. Youyou sighed and said: "I'm afraid that method won't work, because the caster who cursed him in the first place has already
He was stabbed in the leg and his soul was imprisoned by him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make it surrender and lift the curse on him.
If it is not based on the characteristics of the plane I mentioned, the spell caster is most likely not lying, and he knows the method of the curse but not the method of removing it."
Filancini never mentioned the identity of the spellcaster.
After all, if one legendary caster is tricked, there will be another legendary caster.
A legendary spellcaster is definitely not without roots. He probably has a lot of relatives, friends, and apprentices, most of whom are very bad. Once the news is leaked, it will easily cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Gavin also knew this very well. The wrong party didn't say anything, so he didn't ask in detail. Instead, he asked another question: "What happened to the magic battle that destroyed the hotel three years ago?"
The mysterious masked mage that the Tethyr mage killed was not a lady, was she?"
"No." Filancini admitted openly, "He peeked at something that shouldn't belong to him, so he can die. I hope they won't reach that point in the future."
The first sentence is obviously a warning.
Warning Gavin not to pursue the idea of a magic house again would be her bottom line. If that bottom line is touched, she will not mind killing people, let alone destroying a secular hotel.
"Don't worry, madam." Gavin assured him, taking a picture of his chest. "He is looking for madam's magic book, and if he can ask for it, he can start the profession of arcanist. Madam has taught him the most suitable one, even if he really gets the magic."
I'm afraid he won't be able to reach that level even if he doesn't read books. After all, he has never received orthodox magic education and is very lacking in basic knowledge."
Are those words sincere?
Even if the Netherese Magic Book was given to him, it would probably be the normal Arcanist advancement, not the Arcanist Soul Tower mode.
It is important for people to have self-awareness. The study of magic is a long-term task. Let’s not talk about whether the temperament is suitable or not. Just talking about time will block a lot of things.
"I can see it." Filancini nodded and said, "I want to find a smooth path in casting spells in the future. I have to complete those basic things. They can't help me, but they can help me.
It’s just me.”
"Ma'am, can you tell me when I can show up here so that they can communicate in the future?" Gavin continued to collect information about Filancini.
Filancini did not conceal her mistake, "My previous guess was correct. The power he can use has a certain relationship with the moon phase. He can take that form two mornings before and after the full moon night."
Appearing, in the wrong five mornings when there is no moon, his connection with the material plane will be extremely weak, and he will not even be able to sense it. At other times, will it increase with the full moon or the waning moon?
Decreasing.”
"Actually, that is a good direction for them to collect information. He will focus on collecting the moon phases and documents related to the goddess Su Lun." Gavin started a brainstorm and said, "I wonder if the lady can bring something back?
"
"Yes, but it is limited to his leg control. In the land of mist, all space magic is banned, and many magics are unstable and can't be used unless they are used." When talking about that, Felanci
Ni's face was obviously not very good-looking, and she was obviously reminded of not-so-good memories.
"It's easy to do if you can." Gavin said enthusiastically, "In this way, they can just divide the work. He will go outside to collect documents and materials, and then the lady will bring them back to the Land of Mist for search and research to see if there is anything they need.
The information is wrong, ma'am. Would it be best to compile a list of the documents and books I have in my possession and give him a list to prevent him from duplicating and wasting energy and time when he sends people to collect them.
If Madam needs any supplies, just ask and he can prepare them for me."
Although he was surprised to see it, in addition to daily necessities, Gavin saw a large number of documents and books in the abandoned mage tower. It was obvious that Filancini had not been idle and was actively seeking ways to save herself.
In the past, there was no direction. Everything that was useful or useless was caught in one go, trying to find the needle in the haystack.
"He needs at least one month's worth of daily necessities, the kind that can be easily stored." Filancini said unceremoniously.
"That's simple." Gavin readily agreed to Donglai, but couldn't help but asked curiously, "With a professional level like a lady, is it easy for any spell in the Mist Land to go out of control? Even the water-making and food-making spells can't be helped.
Cast?"
The water-making technique is a zero-ring magic, and the food-making technique is a three-ring magic.
The difficulty of entering the leg is not very high, but many spellcasters must use spells to prevent themselves from starving to death like Filancini after being trapped, without food or water.
For an extraordinary spellcaster, that kind of death would be a joke.
"Be careful when casting spells east of the fifth ring. If you make a mistake, it won't have much impact." Filancini sneered, "I have tried eating the food created by the food creation technique for many years."
"Uh... I'm obviously red." Gavin nodded clearly.
The food created by the food creation technique is similar to a nutritious meal. It has enough nutrients, but it is bland and tasteless. It is not bad, but it is definitely not delicious.
It's fine for emergencies, but if you use it as a staple food, it will be really hard to bear for a long time.
"Wrong, I don't know if that thing can be used in the misty land." Gavin took out a tablecloth.
It is true that the goblin tablecloth has the same properties as the food-making technique. It can produce delicious food out of thin air every day. It is especially good at various fruits that are special products of the goblin wilderness. It is very popular with the children in Amphel Village, especially the goblins.
Pingchang.
Although it is rare, Gavin cannot tell whether it is more important than the friendship of a legendary spellcaster.
Filancini shook her head and said: "Summoning magic items cannot be used. If you are not careful, weird beings will get in."
"Then how about he prepare a few kobold servants for me? With their help, some things will be much easier." Gavin came up with a new suggestion.
Filancini still shook her head and said: "He has already tried that method, and he can successfully bring dead objects back. Once living objects enter the misty land, they will inevitably disappear without a trace, just like that
The mage tower is shrouded in the same law as a single one, and no other living creatures are allowed to enter. Even monsters are not real living creatures. My consciousness can enter, so I am the only one."
Filancini has obviously tried a lot to make herself less lonely, and she has thought of Gavin's suggestions.
"So it seems that he has simplified the fear of the demiplane." Gavin guessed, "So, the lady can't use teleportation anymore?"
"No, it cannot be used. Once it is used, no matter where the destination is, it will return directly to the land of mist." Filancini sighed, "So, I don't expect him to do too much for me, because
No matter where he is, he will be dragged back to the land of mist before dawn. If he uses no more than two powerful spells, such as nine-ring spells, he will be dragged back to the land of mist."
She knew very well what Gavin wanted to do with her.
But due to her situation, she was destined to be limited to a one-night trip to that hotel, and the power she could use was also limited.
That was also the reason why her search for a way to leave was so slow.
"It's bright." Gavin didn't feel too disappointed. After all, before that, he had never thought that the Weeping Witch was a legendary spellcaster. It was an unexpected surprise that he had gained her initial friendship now.
Besides, even if there are many restrictions, the other party is still a legendary spellcaster. The help she provides is by no means pure combat power, and her knowledge is also a valuable asset.
An Auling Soul Tower pushed one's strength to a whole new stage.
There is more than just a little bit of inventory in her belly. Once all of it is dug out, how much will it be worth?
During the five days after arriving from the east, Gavin was basically in a state of confusion. He spent the entire night in the basement of the Stone Pony Hotel, which was nearing completion of renovations, and had in-depth exchanges with Filancini.
One does not intend to please and flatter, but is open to learning and asking for advice.
One would like to obtain more useful external information.
The atmosphere was extremely friendly, and the relationship between the two heated up rapidly. In just five months, they were like old friends who had known each other for five years, talking about everything.
Gavin gained a great deal of spellcasting knowledge from Filanxine's legs, much of which was not modern and belonged to Netherese arcanists.
Just as Gavin guessed, Filancini is indeed not an ordinary mage, but a legendary arcanist. Her inheritance comes from the most orthodox Netheril, but she misunderstood her own inheritance and never mentioned it.
, the Netherese magic book that was in his lap was also avoided.
Gavin was considerate and did not take the initiative to touch the enemy. After all, the relationship between the two had not progressed to that point.
In addition, her understanding of the arcanist profession is beyond that of most mages, but because she does not know that profession herself, all she provides is theoretical knowledge.
