Chapter 241 Silver Fire (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)

Zuo Si was undoubtedly mentally prepared for the visit of the goddess of magic and the god of knowledge.

Because he knew that what he brought back was very different from the existing mainstream in Faerûn, both in terms of development direction and basic concepts.

Part of it can even be said to be the opposite from the beginning.

Whether it is to understand the reasons, environment and background of the birth of these things, or to understand the use of these knowledge and technologies in another world, the two gods will inevitably send down incarnations or saints to carry out detailed work understanding.

But what Zuo Si didn't expect was that Ogema and Midnight would get together.

Fortunately, except for him, no one else in the mage tower knew the true identities of these two people. They thought they were just old friends who came to visit, so they did not cause much commotion, and they soon He was invited to the upper area of the mage tower.

In the next few days, Zuo Si systematically answered a large number of questions raised by the goddess of magic and the god of knowledge.

Compared to Ogma, who has traveled to countless worlds, Midnight, who is a native of Faerûn, obviously cannot imagine what a magical world that spends most of its time in peace is like. .

There is no way to understand why wizards from other worlds have invented such a wide variety of spells for daily life, and why they regard magic such as controlling other people's minds and killing and destroying as a taboo.

But in any case, the third generation of magic goddess appreciates and agrees with the concept of using magic power elsewhere instead of killing, destroying and destroying.

Unfortunately, the turbulent environment of Faerûn, which is full of disputes, conspiracies, killings and deaths, determines that most arcane spellcasters will inevitably focus their main energy on how to make themselves more Stronger and more invincible.

Rather than develop those life magics that even low-level mages don't bother to learn.

In this regard, Zuo Si's ideas are not much different from other mages in Faerun.

After all, survival and safety always come first among all needs.

In addition, the exchanges and contacts between gods and mortals in Faerûn are so frequent that the collision of various thoughts and ideas is as sharp as the tip of a needle against the awn of wheat.

Want to create a peaceful environment to promote the development of magic and technology?

Sorry, let’s kill all the gods and the god Io, the source of the chaos in this world, before we talk about this topic.

“So you think that the battle between the gods has led to the turbulent situation in Faerûn, so you don’t have the technical conditions to popularize this magical knowledge that is biased towards daily life?” Midnight frowned subconsciously. .

“Isn’t it?” Zuo Si asked seriously. "Look at all the influential organizations in the entire Faerûn continent. Which one does not have the support of gods and their mortal churches? In the turbulent year, the only thing right for His Majesty Io, the God above God, is to defeat the gods. Falling into the mortal world and walking in the form of saints allows them to experience the joys, sorrows and joys of mortals and the difficulties of life. ”

Ogma, the God of Knowledge, instead of being angry when he heard this allegedly blasphemous remark, could not help laughing and lining up his hands: "That's right! I completely agree.

Before this, many gods' Even I can't stand the self-righteousness and arrogance.

But after the turbulent years, their behavior has changed a lot.

At least they know how to respond to believers correctly. Prayers and requests.”

“There is nothing we can do about it.

There are many ancient gods in Faerun who are born as gods and cannot empathize with weak mortals at all. They also do not understand what their believers really desire.

Most of the new gods who have risen from mortals to gods are ambitious people.

I don’t care at all what the world will be like, and I don’t care about the life and death of believers. I just want to achieve my ambitions. ”

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and expressed his opinion.

Looking at the history of mortals becoming gods in Faerun, you will find that the evil camp accounts for less than 70%. , the rest are neutral and good camps

The reason is very simple.

The two sides took two completely different paths from the beginning of becoming gods.

Mortals of the good and neutral camps usually become gods by serving outstanding gods during their mortal period, and then gradually gain the spark of priesthood and divinity with the help of the latter.

Azus, the mage god, and Guilun Storm, the northern ranger god, are typical examples.

The evil camp, on the other hand, robs and kills by any means, relying on its own efforts and unimaginable good luck, and finally transforms from a mortal into a god.

Among them, the three gods of death, Baal, Melkor and Bane, are like this, and the same is true for Cyric, who became a god in the Year of Turmoil.

In the eyes of these evil gods, believers are their own food, tools and consumables, and they will even devour the souls of believers to enhance their strength in a short period of time when necessary.

Midnight once witnessed the Saint of Bane in the Year of Turmoil ordering an army of his followers to die, and then becoming extremely powerful by absorbing the power of their souls.

In the end, if the dead second-generation magic goddess hadn't suddenly appeared in the form of a magic net element and used her last strength to die with her, maybe both she and Elminster would have died at the hands of this god of tyranny. On hand.

It is precisely because she has experienced the coldness, tyranny and cruelty of these evil gods that after becoming the goddess of magic, Midnight will make a reckless act that will directly lead to "disconnection" from evil churches and organizations.

After pondering for a moment, she immediately raised her head and asked in a slightly helpless tone: "Is there no way to change this?"

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "Change is not easy.

Unless you can convince the supreme god Io, or gain absolute power over the gods,

at best, you can just sit together and discuss various possibilities like now. There is nothing to worry about.

What's more, there is a saying in my hometown that the butt determines the head. There are only individuals who betray the class, not the class.

The reason why you can become the goddess of magic is that you are a beneficiary of the existing rules, so what reasons do you have to object? "

"Then what do you think Faerûn will become in the end? "Midnight raised her head and stared into Zuo Si's eyes.

Now, she finally understood why Ogma, the God of Knowledge, liked talking to the young man in front of her so much and longed for him to become his chosen one.
 Not to mention anything else, just approaching the problem from an angle that most people would not think of and analyzing it with completely different underlying logic can make up for the blind spots in one's own vision and thinking

Even for people. For a god, he can also get great inspiration from it

For a moment, Midnight even began to be a little envious of Zuo Si, who had become a planeswalker.

The other party does not need to bear as heavy responsibilities as himself, and can travel between endless planes, crystal walls and universes to experience a variety of completely different landscapes, cultures, thoughts, Magic and technology.

“I think Faerûn can maintain the status quo, which is the best outcome.

Because every time someone or a god tries to change the status quo, it will inevitably cause an unimaginable huge disaster. .

In ancient times, the decline of the Aboleth Empire and the demise of the creator race proved this;

Later, the era of dragons and giants fighting for hegemony also proved this point;

Even the elves, known for their beauty and elegance, just repeated the mistakes made by the first two, which eventually led to the division of their own race and the decline of civilization;

Following this were the Netherese civilization, which committed suicide, and the Imaskar Empire, which perished due to reckless plundering of slaves.

The closest one was naturally when the three gods of death tried to break the balance and gain power over the gods and steal the Stone of Destiny.

The result was a series of terrible disasters during the Year of Turmoil, and the fall of several gods.

The more eager you are to change the status quo, the more you will get the opposite effect. This is the law I have summarized from the history of Faerûn.

That’s why I say that the battles and conflicts of ideas between gods are an eternal waste of time that will lead to no results. "

While saying these words, Zuo Si gently waved the wand in his hand to control the teapot, filling the cups of the incarnations of the two gods with steaming tea.

Ou Gema nodded with emotion: "You are right. This is why I never seek change.

In the ancient history of Faerûn, there are too many races, civilizations, and gods who tried to change the world through their own ideas and power, but in the end they all failed without exception.

And the greater the commotion, the more terrifying the disaster that will follow.

Even a determined god like Tyr, the God of Justice, eventually had to make compromises with the cruel reality. "

"Can't the entire Faerûn find a suitable place to make some bold attempts? ”

Midnight is obviously unwilling to leave so much magic that is closely related to daily life on the shelf.

I hope to promote it and let everyone see that magic is not just for What serves a few people can benefit the masses

"Well... it's not completely impossible.

As far as I know, Halua, the mage country at the southernmost tip of the continent, should be a good choice.

The residents there are not only Netherese The remnants of the Er civilization have retained an open and tolerant attitude towards magic, and are the only country in the entire Faerûn continent that implements compulsory education for all.

Every child will study in public schools until they are at least thirteen years old. Then it is possible to enter the society and engage in various jobs.

What is even more outrageous is that almost all children will take a magic test at the age of five.

Those who pass will be sent to specialized schools for training, and they will be able to unleash the Zero Ring Magic when they are almost fifteen years old.

Among them, wizards and wizard apprentices account for up to one-third of the population, and the remaining two-thirds also possess a considerable degree of magical knowledge and skills.

The most important thing is that the security environment in Halua is quite good, and it has never experienced the baptism of war since the founding of the country.

Therefore, the mages there are more inclined to conduct research and study than to fight. ”

Zuo Si gave his advice straightforwardly.

Just as he described it, in Faerûn, a land full of conspiracies and dangers, if you had to find a country that is closest to the modern civilization of the earth, it must not be Halua, the country of magicians.

Whether it is its pioneering universal compulsory education or its terrifying ability to allow all children with sufficient talent to receive magic education, it is second to none in this world.

Even the Sel Red Robe Wizards Association, which implements almost the same policy, cannot compare with Halua in terms of the number of mages, where one-third of the country's population are mages.

You must know that this country has a population of more than 1.6 million, and one third is more than 500,000.

Although most of them are the lowest level mages or apprentices, there are still more than half a million arcane spell casters.

I would like to ask which force dares to go to war with a country with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of mages?

Even a traditional power like Cormyr, with a history of thousands of years and a population of tens of millions, would probably be pushed aside every minute if there was a real fight.

Even if tens of thousands of first-level spells are thrown together, an army composed entirely of professional warriors, mages, and priests can be instantly wiped off the map.

But because the country of Halua is surrounded by huge and stretching mountains, and is isolated by a wide ocean in the north, it has basically no contact with the outside world.

So their presence in Faerûn has always been very weak, and they are too lazy to get involved in those messy things.

But Zuo Si knew that this country was the main gathering place for believers of the goddess of magic, and was very suitable for promoting life-style magic from another world.

"Harua..."

Hearing this name, Midnight's eyes suddenly started to shine, and he quickly thought about the specific feasibility in his mind.

Since one-third of the entire country's population are mages, the prerequisites for widespread magic are obviously in place.

And the mages of Halua have an inexplicable enthusiasm for magic. No matter what kind of spell they are, they will be very happy to try and study it.

"I think Soth's suggestion is good. Harrua is indeed a good place to practice new ideas." Ogma also expressed his agreement.

“Since you all think so, then choose Halua, the country of mages. But restore these simplified spells from other worlds into complete spell structures, and then turn them into magic network spellcasting methods. It will take a little more time."

After that, Midnight picked up the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea gracefully.

Although she is the goddess of magic, she should be omniscient and omnipotent in the field of magic.

But the magic knowledge from another world also needs to be learned and understood.

However, the speed of God's learning is not comparable to that of any mortal.

Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and explained: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the wizards in that world have long been accustomed to using wands as an auxiliary and strengthening tool for casting spells, so their methods of casting spells have long been used. In the process of continuous evolution, it becomes simpler and simpler, and you can even increase the power of magic by strengthening your will and emotions."

"How does this sound like strengthening the power of magic through emotions? Is it a warlock?" Ogma asked slightly curiously.

“Bloodline inheritance, relying on one’s own magic power to cast spells, and spell effects that are easily affected by emotions do sound very similar to warlocks.

But the problem is that their magical power can indeed be learned and exercised To gain improvement, this is very similar to a mage

So I think these wizards should be somewhere between mages and warlocks.

There are also speculations that the original origin of the so-called wizards should be that humans combined with magical animals in some way, thereby gaining each other's magical power.

In short, there are really many incredible and interesting things in that world. ”

In front of the two gods, Zuo Si didn’t hide anything and openly told everything he knew.

Because compared to those who can’t guess his thoughts at all. The Goddess of Poison and Disease, the God of Knowledge and the Goddess of Magic are all gods that are easier to get along with, and both of them have made an early investment in Zuo Si

Getting rewards now is a no-brainer.

As for Talona, Zuo Si planned to wait until the sons of Baal began to awaken before going to talk to them about seizing the priesthood and throne of Baal.

“For example, the iron ball magic used to massacre the orc camps in the Northland not long ago?” Midnight raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing a half-smile expression.

Hearing this, Ogma immediately responded with a smile: "No, you are wrong. That is not magic in the strict sense, but obtained from a sport that wizards love very much. Inspiration."

"Sports?" Midnight raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Well, yes, a sport called Quidditch. Its rules are very complicated. You can think of it as a ball game flying on a broomstick. There is something called a Bludger, which is a ball with a diameter of The 25-centimeter iron ball will randomly track the nearest player at a speed of up to 300 kilometers per hour, and try its best to knock it off the broom. "

Ogma has obviously already. He spent time reading books about the Quidditch game and was very enthusiastic about explaining it to the magic goddess around him.

In about a few minutes, Midnight realized how dangerous Quidditch was. He asked dumbfoundedly: "Are these wizards crazy? If they were hit head-on by such an iron ball, they would be killed on the spot. You will die."

"The answer is yes. In the history of Quidditch, the number of people killed by the Bludger is the highest, followed by falling from a height." Zuo Si replied in the affirmative without hesitation.

"Then why not change it to something less dangerous? For example, a wooden ball or a cloth ball?" Midnight asked in a very puzzled tone.

Zuo Si replied casually: "This may be related to the contradictory nature of human beings.

In times of precarity, people usually yearn for a safe living environment, even if they pay the price of freedom.
 But if they are really safe, then they will be eager to pursue excitement and enjoy the thrill of passing death.

To put it simply, they like to die when they are full. .

I think the Bludger that can kill people in Quidditch should be based on this mentality

In fact, it should not be difficult to understand as long as you think back to your traveling and adventurous behaviors and thoughts when you were still a mortal. "

"That's right..."

Midnight's mind instantly recalled the experiences of traveling and adventuring with the warrior Kelanvor, the thief Cyric and the priest Ayton during the turbulent years. .

Especially the tension and stimulation caused by the massive secretion of adrenaline after encountering danger, which will indeed make people feel addictive.

"So you use your planeswalker. The special ability to connect different worlds, using the cheapest and simplest way to enlarge the size of the Bludger, and then adding rotating blades and spikes to it, constitutes a weapon that can pose a huge threat to any city or even country. arms? ”

Ogma, the God of Knowledge, saw through Zuo Si's thoughts and intentions at a glance.

Because if this is not the case, whether it is made into a card or the spell is constant in the Faerun way, the cost will inevitably be quite staggering. Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. Unlike the constant spells according to the rules of the magic network, using the technology of another world to make these iron balls requires some money to buy the iron balls themselves. The rest only needs to be repeated. Just put some magic spells on it, there is no cost at all. If anyone comes to provoke me in the future, I will release dozens or even hundreds of these iron balls to drown them directly."

"Hundreds? You are as crazy as ever." Midnight commented, holding her forehead.

You must know that that night, when she noticed that magic items she had never seen before appeared in Faerûn and cast a concerned look, she was almost awakened and stunned by the bloody sight she saw.

Especially the spectacular sight of the orc army, which had threatened Silvermoon City and other city-states in the North more than once, being chased by a dozen iron balls and fleeing in all directions, I am afraid I will never forget it.

Ogma even smiled and joked: "Don't worry, since you killed the two talisman masters, there are not many people on this continent who dare to take the initiative to mess with you."

"Oh? Do you know about this?" A trace of surprise flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.

"Of course, I have been paying attention to you. Besides, don't you want to know the true identity of the female moon elf named Zelanora?" A playful smile appeared on Ogma's face.

“You know?”

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zuo Si immediately became interested.

He once detected Zeranora through prophecy magic, and even ordered the little devil to use theosophy, but the information obtained was basically specious, and it was impossible to use it as a judgment or clue. .

In fact, prophecy magic is not as easy to use as many people think.

Especially after the opponent has blessed himself with protective magic to avoid detection, the effects of various detection magics will be greatly reduced, and some content that is very easy to cause misunderstanding will appear.

This is also the reason why many specialized mages often oppose the prophecy system immediately when choosing the opposing faction.

Ogma touched the beard on his chin and said: "In this world, there are almost no secrets that I don't know. Since you have brought back so much knowledge this time, I will give you a little Just give me a hint."

After saying that, the God of Knowledge raised his finger and created a scroll full of tiny characters out of thin air and handed it over.

On the surface of the parchment, written in very small ancient Calishite script:

While she sleeps on the fruits of the Empire, may her body rot and her The scales shattered!

May her fangs become dull and her wings wither as she wanders on the river of time!

Ivy Kolasagran will one day regret challenging the all-powerful Shaan, and I will personally eat her flesh and gnaw her bones.

I will artfully summon her to my throne and force her to bow her head before me.

I will shape her skin into a cloak worthy of the status of Quesa (the title the emperor of the Shane Empire calls himself).

By the gods, I swear she will die!

No one or dragon can ever challenge Shane's authority in this field in the future!

After reading these contents, Zuo Si showed an expression of unconfidence on his face: "The quotations of Xia En VII in "Compilation of Wild Words"? Zeranora is the undead emperor Xia En VII? The last monarch of the Xia En Dynasty?" 
"Haha, that's right. It's incredible, right? During the Year of Turmoil, when the second generation of Magic Goddess fell, the entire magic network was in a state of control. So Xia En VII was escaping A small accident occurred while imprisoning him in the unicorn scroll. His soul was injected into the body of the moon elf Zeranora."

Seeing that Zuo Si had already guessed the answer, Ogma. Simply reveal the answer directly.

Perhaps in the eyes of mortals, Shane VII was a powerful and terrifying necromancer and demilich, but in his eyes he was just an insignificant mortal.

Lathander, the Lord of the Dawn, has already proved to the entire world by killing Sammaster, how terrible the gap between the legendary mage and the fighting incarnation of powerful divine power is.

"That's it." Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully. "What is the purpose of Shane VII?"

"It's very simple. He wants to restore the glory of the Shane Empire and bring Calimshan, Tethyr and Amn back under his rule. Except In addition, you are a very useful and important talent in the eyes of Xian VII, and he hopes that you can become his minister and ally. ." Midnight added with disdain.

As the controller of the Magic Network, the moment Xia En VII connected to the Magic Network, she recognized the other party's true identity.

Facts have once again proved that it is too easy for gods, especially gods who hold certain powerful priesthoods, to find out the secrets of a mortal.

The latter is like running naked in front of the former.

Zuo Si secretly held a moment of silence for Xia En VII, and then asked in an uncertain tone: "Then what do you two think of the restoration plan of the last emperor of the Xia En Dynasty? Do you support it? Oppose it? Or it doesn't matter?" 
"I don't care. Anyway, Calimshan, which has been in a state of chaos for a long time, and Tethyr, which has been in civil war for so many years, the living environment has become too bad to be worse. Even if it is defeated by an evil and powerful demilich The rule will probably be better than it is now. The latter will at least establish the most basic order and law."

Ogma was the first to express his attitude.

Because he himself does not care about good and evil tendencies, he just hopes to have a stable regime that can better protect those books and knowledge.

After thinking for a few seconds, Midnight quickly replied: "My point of view is the same. For a country, order is always better than chaos. But I am a little curious, do you mean Do you want to form an alliance with Shane VII?”

"Form an alliance? Maybe, I haven't thought about it yet. But one thing is certain, that is, the entangled sigil that secretly controls Calimshan must be eliminated, and Cyric the Dark Sun and his church and elect must also be purged. Clean." Zuo Si said decisively.

"If it is to deal with Cyric, I will be very happy to provide all the help I can."

Midnight did not hide her hatred and disgust for this former companion.

"What kind of help can you provide?"

Zuo Si, who is always hungry for magical knowledge and power, immediately lit up.

He knew very well that the woman in front of him was the goddess of magic, and knew every magic created by all races and civilizations from the moment the magic network was born.

Whether it is the original Saluk witches and the golden scrolls they created, or the later high elf mages' horrific magic rituals that could tear the continent apart, or the large number of ten demons that emerged in the Netherese era. The rings, eleven-ring magic, and the powerful portal technology of the Imasca Empire have complete and detailed backups in the other country.

Midnight pretended to be mysterious and smiled, and asked in a slightly seductive tone: "Have you heard of Silver Fire?"

"You mean... let me become a voter?" "Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Because the silver fire is the divine power given to the electorate by the goddess of magic, and it is also the most essential original energy of the magic network.

The most typical feature is that you can select one from one to nine levels of arcane magic as an additional spell-like ability, and then you can cast it once a day.

Once selected, it cannot be modified for life.

In addition, you can also choose one of the arcane magics of one to nine rings as a permanent immunity, and it cannot be changed after the same selection.

In other words, when this magic is released, the silver fire will automatically generate a corresponding counter-effect, resulting in the spell being unable to have any impact on the electorate.

In addition, there are other things like never aging, never getting sick, never being poisoned, immune dissociation effect, no need to sleep, sight with built-in detection magic, physical constitution increased by ten points, etc. A range of benefits.

The most important thing is that the silver fire can be transformed into various forms, which can be used as a weapon to attack and as a means of treatment.

It can even be said that among the many gods in the entire Faerûn continent, the goddess of magic is the most generous to the voters.

Even Bane's chosen one, Fuzor Chambery, once expressed envy after studying the silver fire remaining on Sammaster's body.

"How about it, are you interested? Don't worry about Talona. Unlike the God of Knowledge, I don't have so many worries, and I don't care if I will be resented for this."

When saying these words, Midnight was full of confidence as a goddess of magic and a member of the powerful god.

After all, the current goddess of poison and disease is just a second-rate god who is moving from a weak divine power to a medium divine power. It is still far from threatening her.

“Are you sure you really want to do this?”

Ogma was obviously shocked by the bold move of his allies.

Although strictly speaking, it is not uncommon for a mortal to be chosen by two gods at the same time.

But the problem is that the premise of this situation is that the two gods are close allies.

Moreover, according to the first-come-first-served principle, the second god needs to obtain the consent of the first god before granting the identity and power of his elect.

But the current actions of the Magic Goddess are obviously suspected of poaching, and are also suspected of violating the unspoken rules of the battle between the gods.

Midnight nodded without thinking: "Yes, I am very sure. Because among the gods, no one understands Cyric's short-sightedness and madness better than me. He is an irrational psychopath. , sooner or later it will pose a huge threat to the entire world, as long as it can weaken his power and influence, I am willing to do anything."

"Well, I hope you know what you are doing."
 Seeing that the goddess of magic had made up her mind, Ogma stopped trying to persuade her.

"Now it's your turn to make a choice, Soth. Are you willing to accept Silver Fire as my chosen one?" Midnight stretched out her right hand and asked solemnly.

"Of course, it's my honor."

Zuo Si lowered his head and thought about it for a few seconds, then elegantly bent down and kissed the back of the goddess' hand.

The next second...

A ball of silver flame extracted from the essence of the magic network instantly submerged into his body.

In the blink of an eye, the terrifying energy strengthened the endurance of the muscles and cells to a height that cannot be described in words, and its physical attributes jumped from twenty-three points to thirty-three points.

At the same time, he also quickly selected additional spells and immunity spells from one to nine levels according to the guidance of Silver Fire.

Except for choosing the nine-ring magic immunity, I struggled for a while whether to choose time stop or the big rupture, and finally gave up the latter in tears and chose the former. The rest of the decisions were made without hesitation.

After finishing all this, Zuo Si raised his hand and suddenly released a ball of silver flames in his palm, sighing slightly: "It turns out that this is the most essential energy of the magic network. It has almost unlimited power and can be The possibility of shaping.”

“You can control it so quickly?” Midnight looked surprised.

Because normally, it takes at least a few years for voters to get familiar with and practice from obtaining the Silver Fire to being proficient in controlling it.

“I have read Elminster’s research notes on silver fire, and I have also done in-depth research on the energy of divine power. Otherwise, it may take more time to control this crazy energy. It took a lot of effort," Zuo Si explained as he extinguished the silver fire in his palm.

Now he finally understands why Elminster, Kelben, Laila, Alustriel, and Simbu, the chosen ones of the goddess of magic, are often able to cast spells even though their spellcasting levels are not high. They had an overwhelming advantage in the duel, beating opponents who were similar in strength to them, or even with a higher level of spellcasting, to the point where they couldn't hold their heads high.

The reason lies in the powerful spell immunity provided by Silver Fire, as well as its ability to ignore magic resistance and spell resistance.

What’s even more outrageous is that this thing can even generate a light curtain to repair the dead magic area in a short period of time, and even the anti-magic force field can be eliminated.

This means that many strategies for spellcasters are of no use to the chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic.

"Remember to be careful when dealing with Cyric and the Church. The behavior of that madman cannot be speculated according to common sense." Midnight warned with a serious expression.

Zuo Si nodded with a smile: "Please rest assured, my understanding of An Ri is even better than his understanding of himself. In addition...I will not be stupid and go head-to-head, but will Waiting for the right time to take action. "

Hate, in psychology, is an attitude, a state of emotional preparation before taking specific action on something.

Judging from the final result, it is manifested somewhat in behaviors such as rejection and rejection.

This rejection may come from physical, rational, cultural, ideological and other complex factors, until they are integrated to form a concept, and then the concept becomes a part of the personality.

Zuo Si is very clear that his dislike of Cyric stems from all-round opposition from behavior, thoughts to ideas.

Coupled with the fact that he is also preparing to tear off the priesthood that originally belonged to Baal, the God of Murder, it is basically certain that Cyric will become an undying enemy in the future.

Since we are enemies, we will naturally use all possible means.

Zuo Si was ready to wait for this guy to fall into madness and then add insult to injury.

Even if Cyric cannot be killed and sealed, he must be pulled down from the throne of powerful divine power.

After the three-day conversation ended, the God of Knowledge and the Goddess of Magic soon left the Mage Tower and returned to their own country in the outer plane.

Before leaving, Ogma also left behind a book that specifically teaches people how to make legendary magic items and even artifacts, as part of the reward for bringing back a lot of knowledge this time.

After getting the corresponding information from Lei Yin who was lurking inside the Entangled Talisman, Zuo Siye immediately took Isadora through the portal and arrived at the house in London, England.

Because before Christmas comes, he needs to spend a little time preparing a holiday gift for Dumbledore, Hermione, Harry and others.

In addition, by the way, he would fulfill the promise he had made and take the girl to enjoy the completely different scenery of another world.

"This...where is this place? Are those glowing lights a magical effect? Why do the iron-shelled cars on the road run on their own without being pulled by livestock?"

Isadora Looking at the white snowy scene outside the glass window, as well as a large number of colorful neon lights and the passing vehicles, an expression of surprise, curiosity and joy appeared on his whole face.

"Those colorful lights are not magical effects, but a technological device that uses electricity to illuminate. As for those vehicles that can run on their own, they use internal combustion engines that burn oil. Here, put this on Put on your clothes and I'll take you for a walk outside."

As he said that, Zuo Si put a pack of prepared winter clothes in front of the girl.

He had already noticed that in just a few seconds, the girl was already freezing and gasping.

Obviously, London's bad weather is a nightmare compared to the relatively warm climate of Ascatra.

Feeling the cold, Isadora didn’t think much and quickly put on those heavy sweaters, coats, cashmere socks, and leather boots one by one until she was completely wrapped up and airtight. until.

"Phew - it's much warmer now. I just wanted to cast a spell to endure the environment." The girl took Zuo Si's arm and said with a smile.

“Remember, don’t talk to strangers unless necessary for a while, and don’t use any psychic powers or magic.”

Before leaving the house, Zuo Si blessed the girl with a magic that could understand and speak any language - [Spell of Speech] and warned her.

Isadora quickly nodded vigorously and assured: "Understood. Our identity from another world must be kept secret. If you have any questions, I will communicate with you through the spiritual connection."

"Very good. Let's go then."

Zuo Si opened the door and stepped onto the street through the thick snow.

Since the house he bought was not far from the downtown area, he soon arrived at the commercial street filled with supermarkets and various shops.

Because Christmas is coming soon, you can see doors and windows specially decorated for the holiday everywhere along the way, and some staff in Santa Claus costumes are handing out coupons, small gifts and other things to passers-by.

These extremely prosperous scenes of modern society instantly attracted Isadora, who seldom went out. Along the way, she kept asking questions through spiritual connection.

It slowly calmed down after arriving at the first destination, the bookstore.

Zuo Si handed the book list to the clerk without saying a word, and then after paying the full amount, he took the books to the next destination.

When all the Christmas gifts are purchased, he will pack up the mess and send it to the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley, and then these cute birds of prey will deliver it to Hogwarts, or to Someone's home.

Since I don’t know many people, the ones I have a decent relationship with are even more pitiful.

So Zuo Si had very few Christmas gifts to buy, and some of them were prepared by himself.

After finishing these troublesome chores, he stood on the street of Diagon Alley and asked the girl next to him: "Is there anything you want?"

"Nothing in particular. Yes. Because I have you." A satisfied smile appeared on Isadora's face.

"In that case, let me take you to have a meal."

Zuo Si quickly located a wizard restaurant on Diagon Alley Street and walked straight over with the girl.

You must know that there are not many people in the British wizarding world, so even Diagon Alley, known as the most prosperous commercial street, is only the size of a small village.

It doesn’t take much time to walk from the beginning to the end of the street, and there are only a few shops, such as a wand shop, a bookstore, and a pet shop.

There are quite a few places to eat.

In addition to the smoky place like the Leaky Cauldron, there are also two restaurants with a long history.

But Zuo Si was very wise and skipped the store with the sign "Authentic Traditional British Cuisine" and chose another store that specialized in French and Italian cuisine.
