Chapter 566 Nine Rings Are Not as Good as Dogs, Legends Are Everywhere (7K)

"How about a little help?"

Tang Sen didn't give in and said directly.

"Once?" Violet smiled and said, "Just once. It seems that what Mr. Tang wants me to help do is not simple."

"Let me guess, it has something to do with gods?"

"It's related." Tang Sen said.

"I'm afraid it's not an ordinary god." Violet said: "The god who modified Cui Xi? Do you want me to help deal with him?"

Tang Sen shook his head and said: "This is a bit difficult for Master Ziluolan."

"That's right." Violet said bluntly, "If this is the condition, I really can't do it. At most, I can only find a way to save your life when that god deals with you."

"You don't need to worry about my safety." Tang Sen said calmly: "Although I don't know who that god is yet, it's not that easy for him to deal with me."

"What I want you to help me with is another matter. Of course, it will also be related to the gods, but there is a high probability that I will not face a powerful god."

"You are very confident." Violet smiled and said, "What exactly are you going to do?"

"It's not sure yet." Tang Sen said: "It may not even be necessary. After all, we just met by chance this time, and I just had a whim."

He smiled and said: "Master Violet can temporarily use this trace of divinity as a meeting gift."

"This meeting gift is not easy to accept." Violet muttered: "Who knows what embarrassing things you will make me do."

"However, I admit that I really cannot resist the temptation of divinity."

She stretched her fingers forward and touched the trace of divinity.

Divinity immediately entered Violet's body.

"It's weaker than I thought." Violet closed her eyes, feeling the power contained in the divinity, and suddenly raised her hand, and a stream of water surged in her palm.

"Ocean priesthood?"

"That's right." Tang Sen said: "It's a pity that it is not one of those particularly powerful priests. I hope Master Violet will not be too disappointed."

"No, this is just right." Violet said: "If the priesthood is too powerful, I don't have the confidence to compete with those powerful gods."

"And I only need a fulcrum, a fulcrum that can use divine power without being dominated by other gods."

She raised her head and looked at Tang Sen, a surprised expression suddenly appeared in her eyes: "You actually have divinity?"

Possessing divinity can be regarded as a demigod, and naturally he can clearly perceive the divinity in Tang Sen's body.

"That's right. If you can give me divinity, you must have it too."

Tang Sen just smiled and didn't explain much.

Violet didn't ask further questions. She controlled the water flow she created with great interest, and said: "Divine power is indeed different from the level of magic power. Even in this isolated demiplane with no magic power, it can be used without any obstacles. ?"

"After all, as long as there are existences, there are rules." Tang Sen said: "Unless the rules of the world are restrained, it is impossible to restrain divine power."

"How can there be any place to restrict the rules?" Violet smiled.

"Who knows?" Tang Sen also laughed.

You will know when you go to Neverwinter City in the future.

The two did not stay in this demiplane for too long. Violet opened the portal and took Tang Sen back to the mage tower.

With a casual move, she tore off a piece from the colorful magic creation, pinched it a few times, and turned it into a colorful diamond. She then handed it to Tang Sen and said, "You can contact me through this."

Tang Sen took it unceremoniously.

Neither of them mentioned anything about divinity. Naturally, they both knew the function of this colorful diamond.

Using a trace of divinity that no longer means anything to him in exchange for the help of a Violet Mage who is perhaps one of the strongest mortals in the multiverse is definitely a profitable business for Tang Sen.

As for Violet, she also obtained divinity that is almost impossible to obtain in the multiverse of this era, and it is also the kind that is not controlled by other gods.

Although I owe Tang Sen a favor, but——

Win-win!

Tang Sen waved his hand and released Varo and Xue Xue from the demiplane.

You can clearly see the grievance on Varro's face, but unfortunately he has no mouth now and can't speak.

Xue Xue had no objection at all.

"Shall I take you to visit my mage tower?" Violet actively invited: "Believe me, you will definitely not see a better mage tower than mine."

"I can see it." Tang Sen responded with kindness: "I'm extremely happy."

Tang Sen is also very interested in the Mage Tower. After all, he can be regarded as a spell caster, and he also has the base camp of Neverwinter City. He plans to build a Mage Tower in the future.

Mythra's core will then serve as the core of the mage tower and the energy core of the entire city of Neverwinter, directly turning Neverwinter into a floating city.

The use of two Mythra cores in one city was not so arrogant even in the Netherese era.

In the next few days, apart from visiting the Mage Tower, Tang Sen discussed various issues about spells and divine power with Master Violet. It must be said that Tang Sen benefited a lot from Master Violet's profound knowledge. Most importantly, after With Master Violet's explanation, Tang Sen was finally able to find the trick to understand Netheril's knowledge.

Of course, Master Violet's luxurious daily meals also allowed Tang Sen to enjoy them. Unfortunately for Varo, he could only watch but not eat. It was not until the three of them left the Master Tower that he was finally revoked by Violet.

It can be seen that Violet really doesn't like this writer.

This is also normal. After all, the Violet Mage cannot be called a lawful good camp. She obviously looks down on Varo's care about various moral details.

Of course, in this vast astral plane, it was impossible for Violet to let her guests wander like this, so she prepared a magic ship for the three of them.

It's not the cheapest stuff used by mercenaries before. Even from the appearance, this magic ship is worth a lot of money.

Tang Sen naturally happily accepted it. To be honest, compared to the deal between the two of them, this magic ship was not even an addition.

It wasn't until the magic ship started that Varro finally dared to speak.

"I almost thought I was really going to be imprisoned by her."

"Master Violet will not do this." Tang Sen smiled.

"Didn't you see how she behaved? She -"

"I mean, if she really plans to do something to you, maybe it won't be as troublesome as imprisonment." Tang Sen interrupted Varro and said: "Mr. Varro, I believe you should be able to realize , not everyone in this world has a friendly personality.”

"Indeed." Varro was a little discouraged: "I just can't accept your discussion about the goddess of magic and Elminster."

"I respect the goddess of magic, but I'm obviously not a believer in her, and besides, that's really an academic discussion."

At least for now.

Townsend said: "As for Mr. Elminster, I feel that I am not qualified to influence Master Violet's evaluation of him. After all, both of them are much more powerful than me."

"Mr. Varro, sometimes people can't change other people's opinions. At least when the gap between your own strength and others is extremely huge, it's best not to try to impose your will on others. This will only bring consequences. doom."

Although such words were true, they obviously hurt Varo.

So much so that during the rest of the voyage, Varro rarely became taciturn.

Tang Sen didn't care about this. For him, Varro was not someone he needed to spend all his efforts to win over. Whether it was his lawful kindness when facing Barn and Trish, or his relationship with Naomi. The enthusiasm and toughness in the past, or the wisdom and generosity when facing Master Violet now, these are all aspects that Tang Sen showed in order to gain favor.

Their favor has value to themselves.

Of course, Varo's favor is also valuable. At first, Tang Sen hoped to use Varo's fame to promote some of his plans. However, after the Time Dragon incident, Tang Sen believed that it was better to conceal Time Dragon's identity than Varo's identity as a writer. Presence is more important.

There is no need to kill him, but it is definitely necessary to prevent him from leaving his control.

The speed of this magic ship was much faster than that of the mercenaries, so that in just a few days, the Silver Star Port appeared in front of the three of them.

This city is entrenched in the silver void. It looks like a bare mountain has been moved from a certain plane. Except for the large shipyard derived from the outside, the entire city looks like an ice cream tip. .

Next to the dock is a huge silver stream. Groups of magic ships rely on the power of the silver stream to quickly come here and leave quickly.

At the top of the city, there is also a mage tower. Of course, it is obviously far from the mage tower of Master Violet.

The magic ship parked on the dock obviously attracted a lot of people's attention. Such luxurious magic ships are rare even in the star realm.

However, Tang Sen did not give everyone a chance to observe for too long. He directly pulled with his hands, a huge space crack was opened, and the magic ship was swallowed into the demiplane.

The adventurers and mercenaries on the dock let out a cry of surprise.

This kind of random application of demiplanes would probably be difficult for a legendary caster to achieve.

"Mr. Spellcaster, even if you put the boat away, you still have to pay the parking fee." An administrator hurriedly came forward with a helpless and respectful attitude.

"This is the rule for landing in Silver Star Port."

"Of course." Tang Sen looked at the other person. Surprisingly, he turned out to be a devil.

Probably only in a place like Silver Star Harbor that is directly connected to Sigil City, or in Sigil City itself, can the devil appear so openly.

"A total of one hundred gold coins." The devil said, "This is the minimum parking fee for one day."

Tang Sen casually searched for it and threw a money bag over.

"I'll give you two hundred gold coins and an extra hundred gold coins to ask you a simple question."

"Purchase information?" The devil took the money bag, weighed it skillfully, and said, "I don't sell information here, and I'm afraid the information from the star realm is not that cheap."

"No, it's just information about Silver Star Port." Tang Sen said: "Where is the busiest tavern here?"

"It is indeed a simple question." The devil suddenly smiled: "This information of one hundred gold coins is very fair. If I were to recommend it, I would recommend the Giant Toe Tavern."

"Behemoth Toes?" Varro, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have finally regained some vitality due to the excitement of Silver Star Port. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Although I know that the names of taverns are generally strange, but this name - this Wouldn’t the tavern be opened in the toes of an astral beast?”

"It's very humorous." The devil commented: "But if you want to know the origin of this name, that is another price of information."

He rubbed his fingers together.

"No need." Tang Sen waved his hand.

He has money, but there is no need to be taken advantage of.

The three of them walked towards the exit of the dock. Varro muttered: "The price of goods in the star realm is really incredible. The parking fee is one hundred gold coins a day? How can they make such an offer?"

"It's simply the devil. Wait, this shipyard seems to be really managed by the devil."

"Neither adventurers nor mercenaries are stingy people." Tang Sen said: "The more they earn, the more generous their spending becomes, and in a place like Star Boundary, they obviously earn a lot."

As soon as we walked out of the dock, the surroundings suddenly became lively.

Obviously, the pattern of Silver Star Tavern is that the closer to the top of the mountain, the smaller the place, the higher the level, and the higher the consumption. Therefore, a large number of people gather at the lower level.

Tang Sen took a quick look and saw that in addition to the common humans, dwarves, halflings, elves and other races, he could also see drow, tieflings, dragonborn and even half-orcs, and even devils. Walking on the street.

It's a pity that I didn't see the demon, probably because this is not Sigil City after all. If such a notorious creature like the demon appears on the street, it can easily be besieged.

And the atmosphere of legend is not uncommon here.

According to a saying Tang Sen once read, "Nine rings are as numerous as dogs, and legends are everywhere."

This scene will probably tear apart the outlook of many Faerun people, but this is the star realm after all, the entire multiverse, whether it is the main material plane, the elemental plane, the outer plane or even the shadow plane and other creatures will A place to gather.

The adventure stories of Faerûn are difficult to bring to the tavern table here.

"Evil walks so openly in the sun."

Varro murmured: "Is this the star realm?"

"There is no sunlight in the star realm." Tang Sen glanced at him: "Mr. Varro, I suggest you not to show too obvious malice. This is not Sigil City."

If you anger certain beings, they can really take action. Although Tang Sen believes that there should be minimum security here, the person who controls this city must be a powerful being, at least enough to scare most people.

The Beast Toes Tavern is easy to find. It is located on the middle floor of Silver Star Harbor, with a dark and inconspicuous entrance.

"Five hundred gold coins." A hole was opened in the closed door from the height of Tang Sen's waist, revealing a pair of eyes.

"You need money to enter the tavern?" Varro asked in surprise.

"This is the Port of Silver Star, bumpkin." The voice inside mocked without scruples: "If you don't have money, I suggest you go to the lower South District. There are many devils there who provide loan services. The premise is that you are willing to sell your soul."

"But five hundred gold coins is a bit too expensive."

Even though Varro is a well-known writer and is considered wealthy in Faerûn, this consumption has exceeded his bottom line.

"The tavern also has to make money." The voice inside said gloomily: "If you die in the tavern, such as being torn in half by a demon or bitten by a snake man, we will have to collect your body. Five hundred is the customary corpse fee."

Varro trembled.

"Now I know why the devil recommended this place." Tang Sen smiled indifferently: "It seems that for the devil, this is indeed the best tavern in Silver Star Port."

"It's certainly not the case for other people," Varro said.

Tang Sen casually threw out five hundred gold coins.

"Five hundred per person." The person inside emphasized.

"Fifteen hundred gold coins are enough for an ordinary person in Faerûn, not only for a middle class person to spend a lifetime comfortably." Varro emphasized.

"That's right, but the middle class in Faerun don't have the opportunity to come to the Star Boundary, drink in the same space with so many legendary creatures, and hear stories that only Star Boundary adventurers know."

Tang Sen threw another thousand gold coins in, and then the door opened, revealing the halfling standing behind the door.

"Go forward, for the sake of gold coins, I will give you a piece of advice, rookies who have just come to the star world." The halfling said angrily: "Don't mess with any demons, and don't talk to them, even if they ask you drink."

"The most important thing is, when there is a fight there, stay away immediately. The guards in the tavern usually stand in the corner, but they usually like to wait for the outcome of the fight before coming out to collect the bodies."

Tang Sen nodded slightly and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

"You are quite polite." The halfling yawned, "Then let me give you another piece of advice."

"Don't try to talk to the woman bartending, although most people who are new to this bar can't help themselves."

The halfling who took away fifteen hundred gold coins slammed the door and walked out.

"Why do I feel like we were deceived? Isn't he the janitor? Why did he go out?" Varro said uncertainly.

"Because there are enough people inside! Now I'm going to the Bloody Rose Bar to have a good night!" A halfling with sharp ears roared from outside: "Only fools and lunatics would choose to spend money at the Toe of the Behemoth!"

Varro: "."

"Do you think he's calling me a fool or a lunatic?"

"It depends on which one you like." Tang Sen said casually and walked inside with Xue Xue.

As if passing through an invisible membrane, suddenly, countless lively sounds came from the front, almost making people jump.

In addition, there were firelights and people flickering in the firelights.

Compared to the outside, this place was like a chaotic dance of demons. As soon as they walked out of the narrow passage, the three of them ran into a huge praying mantis?

Varro almost screamed, but the mantis completely ignored the two of them, hung a large wooden barrel filled with wine on the barbs on its sickle-like arms, and walked to the table next to it - there was Two identical mantis men were drinking happily.

They constantly flap their jaws and wave their tentacles, which is supposed to be their race's way of communicating.

"Slaklin Mantis?" Varro whispered: "I have only seen a few words about this creature in ancient books. I never thought that they would actually appear in the tavern. This is ridiculous."

Tang Sen noticed that the communication between the three mantis men stopped for a moment, and looked over here.

Tang Sen nodded slightly towards them, and then pulled Varro towards the bar.

"Uh, did they hear what I just said?" Varro realized it later, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"So I suggest you stop speaking easily, Mr. Varro." Tang Sen said: "Believe me, maybe you can't master the languages ​​​​of all races, but the existences that will choose to come to the astral realm, except for those who are astral races themselves, In addition to being able to use telepathy, almost everyone can use telepathy, whether it is talent or spell casting."

He looked at Xue Xue and said, "What do you think of the strength of the people here?"

Xue Xue shook his head silently.

"If there is a chance in the future, I will give you a chance to try my hand." Tang Sen has never figured out how strong Xue Xue is. According to the other party's words, she thinks that the strength of the Abyss Lord is average, but she thinks that Violet is stronger than her. Much more. After all, at least she is also the best among the legendary mages.

"I don't know how to fight." Xue Xue replied.

"Just use the magic you are good at to blast it over." Tang Sen said.

Although this is not Tang Sen's fighting style, he has to admit that when he has the upper hand, Violet's fighting method is definitely the most refreshing. No wonder Cui Xi is so deeply influenced by her.

"good."

When Xue Xue said this, the three of them had already walked to the bar.

Obviously, in such a busy place, it is impossible to have a seat at the bar. There are still many races crowded in front of the bar waiting to buy their own drinks. Of course, it may also be for other reasons——

Tang Sen caught a glimpse of the woman standing at the bar through the gap in the crowd.

He froze in place.

At the same time, Varo was still standing there, with his mouth wide open and his eyes almost bulging out.

"My God, Elminster, have you seen this scene before?"

he muttered.

Tang Sen now knew why so many people gathered around the bar.

It's not because the woman bartending is so stunningly beautiful - although she is indeed stunningly beautiful and ranks among the many beauties Tang Sen has seen, but that's not the point.

The point is, this bartender lady has silver skin, her hair and eyes sparkle with a transcendent light, and a pair of huge wings spread out from her shoulder blades.

"An angel!"

Varro couldn't look away, but couldn't help but make a sound of disbelief: "The bartender in this pub is actually an angel?"

"Why would the messenger of the gods mix drinks for these filthy creatures in a place like this? This is simply blasphemy!"

"Huh?" A devil in front turned back with an unkind expression: "What did you just say? Dirty creature?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Varro looked up at the devil and stammered.

"You are destined to me, and I want to make a deal with you." The devil reached out and grabbed Varo directly.

Tang Sen raised his hand and held the other person's wrist.

The devil's eyes turned around and met Tang Sen's calm eyes.

"How about you give me some face?" Tang Sen said.

The devil felt the irresistible power on his wrist and nodded sincerely.

I dare not deny this face.

I don't know why, but the devil felt pressure from Tang Sen's body like a devil's duke.

Tang Sen let go of his hand, and the other party immediately ran quickly outside the tavern.

The people who came up from behind pushed the three of them to the bar.

"Which god's angel are you?"

"Hey hey hey, will it be announced? How much will it cost?"

"I've never seen an angel with my own eyes."

"Your wings look so plump."

"."

All kinds of obscene words came from the mouths of people of all races, and they all rushed towards the angel.

But the angel didn't care at all, and even smiled with a smile on his face, sweeping the white, glowing wing tip feathers over the chest of the demon who said his wings looked plump: "Want to try it?"

"Then I'm not welcome!"

The devil's eyes turned red and he jumped up, trying to climb over the bar and knock the angel down.

But the next moment, his body was suddenly separated into several pieces.

The filthy blood spilled out. Before it landed on the bar and everyone's wine glasses, it flew up as if consciously and landed in the cocktail shaker held in the angel's slender palms.

"Giggle~" the angel smiled coquettishly: "The freshest devil's blood, this is a good material."

She shook off the dirt on her wings and feathers from killing demons, and quickly poured various base liquors into the cocktail shaker. Twelve bullet cups were lined up on the bar, and the dazzling cocktails were mixed. After the drinking process, the liquid exuding black mist in the cocktail shaker falls evenly into the bullet cup.

"Two thousand gold coins a cup~ Is anyone interested?"

"Of course! Hahahaha!" A devil who had been waiting at the bar laughed loudly: "When I saw that idiot come in, I knew that I was in for a treat today. The most delicious wine in the world, Devil's Fear, Ancil, Only you can adjust this world."

"I want all twelve cups!" He threw a handful of gems on the bar: "This is a fair deal."

"I'm afraid I can't sell them all to you." The angel named Anxier raised his delicate hands and picked up the two glasses on the table.

"Here, there is another person who wants me to have a drink."

She looked into the crowd with a sweet smile, raised her hand, and stretched out the wine glass to someone.

"Sir, are you interested in giving it a try?" She pursed her lips, and her bright pupils exuded a strange light: "Don't worry, this cup is free."

There was an uproar near the bar, and everyone turned their attention to the man in front of the wine glass.

The man looked at the suspicious-colored, foul-smelling wine named "Devil's Fear" and narrowed his eyes slightly.
