Netheril’s Glory - Chapter 967

[Chapter 960 The real Ankazan]

In the central area of the Faerun Plane, within the Grey Rain Country, the majestic and magnificent fire-red magic tower is showing its detached status for thousands of years. This is a real legendary magic tower, although the makers did not give it too much height And the area is too vast, but the tower body made of legendary alchemy materials still shines under the sunlight, even if the background of the gray rain country in the cold winter is as dark and opaque as before, and the weather is oppressive, but the crimson magic tower However, it is still like a torch guarding the center of the small empire.

The symbolic meaning of this magical tower is not as simple as a war machine. It is the most solid barrier and residence of the old legendary mage “The Burner” – Ankazan-Yanmei. ‘s absolute control, it also means that in the “central position of the Faerun plane”, the place where the forces converge, the Mage Guild is the basic facade to preside over the order.

If someone dares to attack Ankazan, the legendary protector of the Grey Rain Kingdom, then this kind of behavior is tantamount to directly declaring war on the Mage Guild, because a brave challenger is not just another powerful legendary professional. , but also to challenge the majesty and control of the Mages Guild, which claims to be “the strongest legendary organization in the multiverse”.

But in fact… the so-called “maintaining order” is just talking about it.

In fact, the reason why Ankazan-Yanmei has been in the Grey Rain Kingdom for so many years is more because the Mage Guild wants to put on airs. In terms of verbal abuse and slander, under normal circumstances, no one will have nothing to do and have to compete with the Mage Guild for the meaningless name of “Maintainer of Order”, so Ankazan and his magic tower have been built since the completion of the construction. Never been challenged by any enemies…

After all, according to many people’s speculations, the “shelf” of the Mage Guild is basically what Methur put up in order to facilitate his cooperation with the gods of the good camp. Now that the Mage Guild and the Pantheon have reached an “unbreakable” (on the surface) )” alliance relationship, the order of the Grey Rain Nation has naturally been forgotten by the great mages who are in charge of every day.

“Anyway, even in a few million years, no one will challenge the so-called “facade of the Mage Guild”. Ankazan bears the name of the so-called “maintainer of order” and stays in this white magic tower. There are few tasks to complete, and his daily life is no different from that of most ordinary hermitage legendary mages.”

This is a pertinent evaluation given by Bill Kayton, the legendary ranger “Limang Flying Blade” who lives in the Eero Kingdom around Grey Rain, and it is also an evaluation that Ankazan himself quite agrees with.

is not that right? Ankazan is actually a legend of the hermit faction. It is estimated that many people can’t imagine that the “burner” who is said to be “grumpy” is actually a mage of the neutral lawful camp, and he has never received much resources to carry out. Research, and there is no desire to go out to cause trouble at all.

In fact, Ankazan, as an evocative spell caster who is good at fighting, doesn’t like fighting and killing at all. The last time he went to the shadow plane was only to rescue “companions” rather than fight the enemy—— “The Burner” can proudly confirm that he has never left the magic tower for the purpose of fighting or killing, although the development of events always exceeds expectations… But Ankazan, who appreciates pacifism, has become a legend for so many years. I have never forgotten my true heart.

For example, at this moment, the purpose of the middle-aged mage who left the magic tower wearing a fiery red robe and carrying a large can of wine is not to fight anyone. That’s it.

The knowledge, magic tower, and magic equipment possessed by this old-fashioned old mage were all given by the president of the Mage Guild, “Messur”. “Going out”, in this boring life called “facade” is actually “reclusive”, Ankazan is most interested in things other than the desire to learn new knowledge like most ordinary spellcasters are by no means being an order supervisor. Fighting everywhere, but drinking and chatting with your old friends.

I don’t talk about academics or cooperation, but simply talk about various interesting things and the emotional loneliness accumulated over the years……

You must know that although the central area of the Faerun plane is called the “center”, its area is still very vast and huge. There are six legendary professionals living here, including Ankazan, but only those who like to travel around The “Limang Flying Blade” who visited his friends has met several of his “neighbors”. Since the ranger who likes to make friends and Anka, who came to Grey Rain to build a magic tower, agreed to be friends, they have been friends every two or three times. Drinking a few glasses of wine at a party for thousands of years has become a “habit” that has never changed.

And on a sunny morning like today, the wine that “Burner” brewed by using the method he invented was finally completed. This middle-aged mage, who always has a straight face, can’t wait to give it to his friends. Have a taste.

After tasting Bill’s characteristic “Knife Mans Spirit” last time, Ankazan has actually always wanted to invent a spirit of his own. Anyway, for a long time, he has not received any materials or knowledge issued by the Mage Guild.” The “Maintainer of Order” is also unable to carry out any magic research, and the “Archmage” Methur, who has not heard from him, has not given any new instructions. You can turn yourself into an outstanding “brewmaster”.

So Ankazan, who filled the skill tree on “Alcoholic Beverage Production Ability”, spent tens of thousands of years earnestly researching brewing technology, and he even promoted the development of the alcohol industry in the entire Grey Rain Country by himself.

In the end, when the wine with an intoxicating aroma came out, the “Burner” also named the jar of wine he was carrying the “throat of fire”. After all, this was the first time in his life that he successfully made it himself. of wine.

At the same time, in accordance with the friendly practice, “The Burner” also carefully marked the name of the drink on the outermost side of the jar, and then generously took the jar and started flying towards the Eero Empire.

Although Bill Kayton is an old friend, this kind of friendly gesture will always be indispensable to Ankazan.

In many things, this lawful caster has always followed a set of rigid noble etiquette – when a “colleague” is in trouble, he will “oblige” to go to the rescue, the last time he drank a friend’s Good wine, the next meeting will be returned with the same quality wine. As a legendary member of the Mage Guild, Ankazan, who actually did not know what the Mage Guild was doing, also obeyed his “boss” Messur. Ordered not to inquire about too many things……

All in all, “The Burner” is by no means as self-motivated as he appears on the surface, and the anger he shows in front of the enemy is not his true face. This spellcaster who loves life and hates loneliness is just a stereotyped old noble in his bones. For him, it is enough to be able to perform his duties and to enjoy a life of courtesy.
