Neither Gavin nor Ms. Strategy could sit back and watch such a tragedy happen. When the statue was about to fall to the ground, the divine aura flickered.
The citizens of Tefram where it landed were immediately enveloped in a soft force. By the time they came to their senses, they had been teleported hundreds of meters away.
This large-scale group transmission caused a burst of exclamations from the citizens of Teflam, and they all praised Ms. Strategy's kindness.
Ms. Strategy only had a brief communication with those praying when she first came to express her concern, and then fell silent again.
Although she has just become a god, she has been carefully trained by Tempus, the god of war, and has a lot of experience in being a god. She knows that talking too much will lead to mistakes, especially when it is difficult to fill the gap. You The more kind she is to her followers, the more they want from her, and not even the gods can grant all the wishes of sentient beings.
It is better to let them handle most of the affairs by themselves from the beginning, and only provide guidance at critical moments.
The more powerful the gods are, the less they personally interfere with the mortal world. Most of them do so through their believers or divine envoys.
Over time, this has become a default rule.
As Ms. Strategy’s elector, Gavin can represent Ms. Strategy’s rights here.
Now no one doubts whether he can invite Ms. Strategy here. Now it depends on how much faith he can gather and whether he can bring the divine incarnation of Ms. Strategy here.
People ask God for answers.
The same is true in Faerûn.
Whether you want to use the power of good gods, gods, or evil gods and demons, you must perform matching prayers and sacrifices.
The world only thinks that this is a means for the gods to gather faith, in order to let more people believe in and worship themselves. However, they do not know that this is also a shackles bound to the gods, preventing them from doing whatever they want and giving the world bring about devastating disaster.
With Ms. Strategy’s endorsement, many things will become easier.
Affected by the Statue of Lady Strategy, the number of people gathered in the dock area of Tefram City has not become smaller, but has become more, but they no longer block the chariot legions from loading and unloading supplies into the chariot.
After everyone returned to the house, Lord Parado knelt down in front of Gavin and said: "General, save me..."
Although his heart was the same as Ming Jing's, Gavin pretended He said with a surprised look on his face : "City Lord, please get up quickly. What are you causing trouble? Didn't we just reach a consensus?"
The bitterness on the face of Lord Parador can be seen with the naked eye, and he refuses to stay on the ground. Get up, "General, just now When I arrive at Teflam City, I may not know much about the situation here. I only rule Teflam City in name. In fact, the control of this city is not in my hands at all, but in a group called the Shadow Master Guild. ...Uh uh...save me...general, save me..."
Parrado mentioned the name of the Shadow Master Guild, as if he had violated a taboo, and his shadow immediately came to life, He strangled his own neck (shadow).
Parado immediately followed the instructions uncontrollably, grabbing his neck tightly, as if he was going to strangle himself to death.
“It’s just a trick.” Gavin couldn’t help but sneer, and a unique golden sledgehammer appeared out of thin air, hitting Parado’s shadow.
When they met for the first time, he had already noticed something abnormal in the shadow of the Lord of Parado City, because it was very similar to the core members of the Shadow Wing Guild.
At that time, he had already guessed that this was a method used by the shadow thieves of the Shadow Master Guild to monitor or control the Lord of Parador.
When talking about things with the other party, I have always been very careful about my words and tried not to involve those shadow thieves as much as possible.
Since the other party has acted unscrupulously, there is no need to worry.
With this hammer blow, a shrill scream came from the shadow of Lord Parador.
The entire shadow was shattered on the spot.
For others, this kind of killing through shadow is extremely difficult.
Ordinary weapons cannot harm shadows at all. They must have powerful magical weapons with ghost damage properties or restraint magic.
This kind of weapon and magic is relatively rare, and often by the time you think of a way, the person you want to rescue has already been killed.
But for Gavin, it was a matter of taking it easy.
This is what the War Raiders are best at. Not only did they kill the shadows lurking in Parador, they even directly dragged them away.
Those shadow masters did not transform the shadow of Lord Parado into a shadow, but sent a shadow to follow him lurking.
Like Shadow Wings, transforming shadows into shadows, and then sending them to their side to fight alongside them is based on the undead power's super control over undead creatures.
If there is no suppression by the immortal power, what those shadows want to do most is to kill themselves and replace them.
I am afraid it is not that easy for those shadow masters to obtain the same abilities. They need to obtain them through professional levels and get the blessing of Musk, the Lord of Shadows.
The moment the shadow in the shadow of Lord Parador was bombarded and taken away, a thin figure popped out from the shadow only half a street away from them, spurting blood. He was wrapped so tightly that even if he entered reality, outsiders could not see his true face.
The thin figure could not help but growl uncontrollably: "My shadow, my shadow, the great Lord of Shadows, what is going on? Who can take my shadow away? ?”
Being in the sunshine, he suddenly had no shadow.
He is the ace of the Shadow Master Guild - the Shadow Assassin.
Those with this name have at least quasi-legendary strength.
Their signature ability is to shadow their own shadow.
Unlike the shadows, they can have 100% control over their shadowed shadows, and can even place their consciousness on the shadowed shadows, and perform medium and short-range activities away from their own bodies. .
There is no need to say more about the power of this ability. If it is used for theft, they can leave no trace. As long as there is a shadow, they can arrive silently. Most of the trap spells None of them work.
If used for assassination, it can be invisible and cause death.
And in terms of safety, there is an absolute guarantee. Even if the shadow dies, they only need to spend a little professional experience to reunite, which is only one-fifth of the resurrection of the dead.
But this time was different. He clearly felt that he had completely lost control of the shadow and there was no way to revive it.
Without the shadowy shadow, he is equivalent to being crippled, and losing most of his strength.
The Shadow Assassin did not dare to stay for a moment, and immediately escaped into the shadows again. He circled Teflam City several times. After making sure that there was no tail behind him, he used the Shadow Walking Technique to escape. A world made entirely of shadows.
This is the famous demiplane of shadows, where the Lord of Shadows, Mask, is located. He has a strong influence here, and many of his followers like to use this place as their base camp.
As the largest church in Musk, the Shadow Master Guild is no exception. What is in Teflam City is only their grassroots organization, and the real core is here.
Soon a black castle wrapped in shadows appeared silently in front of the shadow assassin. The unique thing was that this castle was integrated into one body and had no gate at all.
"Damn it." The Shadow Assassin couldn't help but curse, and had to take the initiative to appear from the shadows, saying loudly, "I am Feodor, I need to be escorted back to the Shadow Nest, there is something important. The matter has to be met by the shadow masters. "
Under normal circumstances, at his level, he can access most places in the Shadow Nest unimpeded.
But if he wants to pass through many mechanisms, he needs the cooperation between his body and the shadow.
Having lost Shadow, he can't even enter the first gate now.
"Lord Feodor? A shadow assassin still needs to be escorted?" A surprised cry came from the shadow castle.
It seemed that someone was observing the Shadow Assassin in the shadows, and then more low voices sounded, "It is really Lord Feodor, but Lord, where did your shadow go?"
Two people dressed similarly to the Shadow Assassin walked out of the Shadow Nest and saluted the Shadow Assassin respectfully. Fyodor is ranked in the top ten among Shadow Assassins and is somewhat famous in the Shadow Master Guild.
The shadow assassin said with an unchanging expression: "My shadow is performing surveillance missions in Teflam. I have just collected important information and must meet with the shadow masters immediately."
Although Musk, the god of thieves, does not have the priesthood of lies, he once controlled the priesthood of conspiracy, which is often inseparable from lies.
One of Musk’s core teachings says “Only fools will be honest to others.”
As a senior Musk believer, Feodor has long implemented this teaching into himself in his words and deeds.
There is fierce competition within the Shadow Master Guild. There are countless people peeping at their position and wealth. Once the news of losing Shadow becomes known to everyone, I am afraid that it will not take long for me to die.
My position and wealth must be given up to others.
"I see." The two Shadow Nest gatekeepers did not doubt that he was there. After all, it was unheard of for a Shadow Assassin to lose a Shadow. "But Lord Feodor should be clear about the rules. This is ours. The duty lies."
"Understood." The shadow assassin took out a shadow token directly from his arms, lit the exclusive mark on it, and threw it to the shadow nest gatekeeper.
After a shadow nest gatekeeper took it, he hurried back to the shadow nest, and walked out quickly within a few minutes.
A shadow gate appeared silently, and at the same time, a road composed of shadows spread in front of the shadow assassin. Two shadow nest gatekeepers quickly walked to the shadow assassin, respectfully handed the shadow token back, and said, "Lord Feodor, welcome home."
"Yes." The Shadow Assassin responded coldly and arrogantly, followed the path of shadows with familiarity, passed through the shadow gate and entered the Shadow Nest.
As the three people returned to the Shadow Nest at the same time, the shadow road and the shadow gate disappeared silently again, and the entire Shadow Nest once again became looming.
If there is no corresponding method, even if you can see the shadow nest, there is no way to enter it. This is also a kind of city defense secret lock, just the shadow version.
The interior of Shadow Nest is not as inconspicuous as it looks from the outside. Luxury is achieved here to the extreme.
The steps are carved with various kinds of jade. The marble pillars are not only painted with dragons and phoenixes, but also inlaid with countless jewels and jade. In many places, they are even edged with gold and silver.
Exquisite porcelain from the Far Eastern Empire can be seen everywhere.
The jade fountain located in the castle square does not spray water, but crystal clear pearls.
The wealth of the Church of Mask, the Lord of Shadows, is second only to that of Watkin, the goddess of wealth.
Musk’s pastors usually have the good virtue of accumulating wealth, and they all strive to collect wealth throughout their lives.
The shadow assassin Fyodor tried his best to keep his eyes open and tried his best to control his greed. Every gold coin and every pearl here was marked by shadows by the shadow masters.
As long as they are touched, the shadow masters will get the news immediately.
No one can take this wealth out of the Shadow Nest.
Even if you are lucky enough to do it, you will become the public enemy of thieves all over the world. No matter where you go, there will be cold eyes and daggers staring at your vital points.
The Shadow Assassin walked through the hall and soon entered a huge temple. The place was surrounded by shadows everywhere. Only the huge silk mask in the center was emitting divine light. .
As Fyodor stepped into the temple, a pair of eyes lit up in the shadows, staring coldly at the shadow assassin and saying: "Fyodor, aren't you on a mission to monitor the Lord of Parado in Tefram? Why? Come back... Hey, where is your shadow?"
"Report to the master, Lord Parador is betraying us. Before revealing our information to outsiders, I prepared to execute the emergency order to execute him on the spot and bring his soul back to the Shadow Nest.
Unexpectedly, my shadow was not only killed with one blow, but was not even killed. There is a way to reshape and resurrect, so I will come back and report to you adults as soon as possible," the Shadow Assassin replied respectfully.
This time Feodor did not dare to lie.
Because these people in front of me are not the gatekeepers of Shadow Nest, but the shadow masters, the rulers of the Shadow Master Guild.
Each one possesses above-legendary strength, and their use of shadows is superb. Many of them have even been blessed by the Lord of Shadows, Musk.
Lying in front of them is easily exposed.
And if he wants to find his shadow, he must rely on them. He has no clue about this matter now.
"Parrado is preparing to betray us, probably thinking that if he agrees to cooperate with Ms. Strategy, we will eradicate him, so it is expected that he is ready to seek asylum from Ms. Strategy's voters."
"Parrado is a grass on the wall. Whoever is powerful will fall to him. If Teflam falls and the Tukan people give him a chance, it is not surprising that he will be loyal to the Tukan people. "
"Parrado's understanding of us is only at the most superficial level, and there is nothing to worry about. The biggest threat to us now is the immortal power controlled by the strategist lady Chosen. Shadows and shadows are inseparable most of the time. He It should be through this power that Feodor’s shadow is taken away.”< br>
“In the past month, there have been many new faces in Teflam who are good at using shadow abilities. They have been trying to spy on us. They should also be members of this general.”
These are hidden in the shadows. The shadow masters whispered, exchanging information and knowledge.
Although they are dormant in the Shadow Nest, they know the situation of Teflam very well.
Thieves and intelligence are never separated.
The thieves from the Shadow Master Guild are the top experts in this area. They had already checked Gavin out before they confronted Gavin, a powerful foreign dragon.
In the blink of an eye, he used the information in his hands to piece together the whole thing.
In this discussion, the shadow assassin Fyodor could only sit in and listen.
"Your Excellency, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Not only can we not stop General Gavin from asking Ms. Strategy to participate in the war, but we should strongly support it.
If Yamen Khan wants to become the God of Slaughter, he needs a lot of sacrifices and achievements. Once he breaks through Teflam, massacre of the city will be inevitable. Our many years of operation here will be in vain.
The conspiracy priesthood of the Lord of Shadows has just been stolen by the Prince of Lies, which has damaged his foundation. In addition, he is not good at frontal combat, and he cannot bring down the divine incarnation to withstand Yamen Khan.
We need Ms. Strategist to be at the forefront, to contain Yamen Khan and guard Teflam. "
"It is easy to invite the gods but difficult to send them away. Once the goddess of strategy settles in Teflam on a large scale, it will not be easy for us to drive her out afterwards. If we are not careful, we will Causing a divine war. "
"If under the leadership of Ms. Strategy, this battle is won, especially if Yamen Khan is killed, the situation will indeed be as you said, but if the situation is opposite, or , the final blow was completed by our Lord of Shadows? ”
"In this way, the greatest glory will go to the lord of thieves, and we can take over Tefram naturally."
"This plan is like pulling chestnuts from the fire. If we are not careful, we will be in catastrophe. We must be careful. Be careful.”
“This is natural, the strategy is different from the war. God, she is not a fool, she and her followers are good at planning and calculation. We must prepare a few more plans to prevent the boat from capsizing in the gutter."
"This matter is settled."
These shadow masters took advantage of the situation to discuss the situation in Teflam, and soon reached a consensus.
Although Musk, the Lord of Shadows, has lost his conspiracy priesthood, his believers, especially those senior believers, still adhere to their original behavior and like conspiracy calculations.
When they wanted to bring Gavin into the game to help defend Teflam, Ms. Strategy was already in their calculations.
In other words, Ms. Strategy’s identity as a voter is what they value Gavin most. (End of this chapter)
