Chapter 371 Asmodeus (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Learn, train, accept various commissions and tasks to earn money...
Thousands The arrival of players has undoubtedly brought unprecedented vitality to the originally lifeless Floating City of Plantia. Even the tavern that no one went to has gradually become lively.
Especially those senior talents who are also from the earth, but know the truth about the "Fourth Natural Disaster" plan, often observe some strange behaviors of these guys who are kept in the dark with a good show mentality.
Several psychologists and sociologists have regarded it as an interesting research topic.
Because the current state of the players is very similar to the so-called "brain in a vat", there is no way to distinguish between virtuality and reality.
The only difference is that the principle of "Brain in a Vat" is to trick the brain through electrical signals, and they are souls trapped in a place called "Infinite City" by a supernatural force called psionic power. In the virtual world, the real world is regarded as a virtual game world.
Such a large-scale social experiment that may violate laws, human rights and moral bottom lines would be almost impossible to be approved by any government or country on the original earth.
Even the countries with the most bottomless and most insane minds in modern history.
But now, it has not only become a reality, but it will also continue to increase in number over time, until the scale changes from thousands to tens of thousands, and then from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, to tens of thousands. Millions or even tens of millions.
Don't think this number sounds exaggerated.
Just the opposite!
Ten million souls do not even account for one third of the number of people who die on earth in a year.
And with the advent of the new century, the global population will expand at an incredible rate.
And it will reach more than 8 billion in less than thirty years, and the number of deaths every year is an astonishing more than 60 million.
Even if we exclude ordinary souls who have not received a good education in extremely underdeveloped regions such as Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and Latin America, at least millions of high-quality souls can be screened out every year.
If the conditions were relaxed a little more, increasing the number of players to 10 million within a year would not be a problem at all.
This is why Zuo Si regards the earth as an inexhaustible huge talent reserve.
The only limitation is whether Mastermind Isadora can be powerful enough to connect so many consciousnesses and clones at the same time and ensure the stability of psychic signal transmission.
For sociologists, such a large-scale introduction of earthly humans into the world where the floating city is located in a special way can no longer be regarded as a simple transformation in the strict sense, but should be regarded as migrant.
Because the player's behavior, thoughts and consciousness will profoundly affect or even change the core background of the entire civilization.
What's more, their bodies still retain the most basic primitive desires and the ability to reproduce and produce offspring.
Unfortunately, the players are completely unaware of all this.
Some men and women from areas with a relatively open social atmosphere hooked up within a few days of arriving in the floating city. They took advantage of the cover of night to hide in inconspicuous places such as gardens, and had "in-depth" discussions. Regarding the very serious and serious topic of "the origin of life".
They did not notice at all that their every move was photographed and recorded by the ubiquitous invisible magic eye.
At the beginning, the experts from the overall planning and social science team enjoyed watching these exciting pictures from different angles, and even brought people from other departments next door to watch them together.
But as the number of dog men and women exploring the origin of life increases and the frequency of communication becomes higher and higher, they inevitably begin to become numb.
In the end, I completely lost interest in this kind of scene, and just recorded the names, races, and ancestry of the two parties when creating the characters.
Due to the complete lack of any protective measures, more than 30 female players were tricked in just one or two weeks.
When they learned the news that they were "pregnant" under the examination of the priest, they were all shocked and couldn't believe that a virtual game could actually conceive and give birth to a child.
However, when they heard that as long as they gave birth to a child, they would receive a reward of one hundred gold coins, and they did not need to take care of themselves, and they could safely leave it to the floating city's child care center to raise them, these players quickly calmed down and accepted this "game setting" Certainly".
After all, they enter the "virtual world" to earn rewards and exchange them for currency in the "real world" to meet their daily needs.
Wouldn’t it be better if this goal could be easily achieved by simply giving birth to a child?
It's just a game anyway, and I'm not really pregnant...
So, a small group of female players with no bottom line thought they had found a "loophole" in the rules, and began to have fun with their daily lives. After hard study and training, he became slack and just wanted to make money by relying on his inherent advantages as a woman.
Even some male players expressed strong envy about this, hating that this damn game does not allow the creation of characters of the opposite gender to their own.
You must know that one hundred gold coins is a lot of money for players who have just entered the floating city.
They complete various tasks on weekdays, and at best they can only get a few copper plates at least, and one or two silver coins at most.
Some of the guys who contributed tadpoles even suggested to Vanessa, the daily manager of the Floating City, that they should also receive a bonus.
It doesn’t take much, just give half or even one-third of the amount to pregnant female players.
As expected, the constructs were thrown out one by one from the second floor of the central tower, killing their idea of making money as a "stallion" on the spot.
Thankfully there were lawns and shrubs below as a buffer, otherwise even if the fall was not seriously injured, arms and legs would have been broken.
But even so, bruises and swelling are inevitable, and he also becomes the laughing stock of others after dinner.
However, the direct consequence of this incident is that if any female player wants to make money by giving birth to children, she must reach a spoils-sharing agreement with a male player, otherwise the latter will refuse to provide her tadpoles. .
Facts once again prove how chaotic and disordered the player group is.
They will always come up with a big surprise or scare you in unexpected places.
Of course, unlike those "scum" who are full of opportunistic ideas, Jack worked extremely hard and hard in the process of learning how to become a priest of the Phoenix God.
At this moment, he was standing naked in the magic flame emitting astonishing heat in the center of the temple, enduring severe pain that ordinary people could not bear, even if his skin was burned to a black color. Not even the slightest thought of escaping.
Because according to the description of the doctrine, Bennu is the god of fire, the god of souls and the god of eternal life.
If you want to become its true priest, you must first endure the burning of the flames and sublimate your soul in pain, and then you can gain powerful strength and the great blessing of Nirvana and rebirth.
Especially when it comes to enduring the burning of magical flames in the first step, even players with blunted pain nerves would find it difficult to last more than ten seconds.
But Jack has been holding on for a full ten minutes now.
Just when his endurance was about to reach its limit, a miracle happened.
I saw that the originally burned skin and muscles suddenly cracked open, revealing the pink new skin that had just grown inside.
Without a doubt!
This is Nirvana and rebirth, one of the most important symbols of recognition and blessing from the Phoenix God.
The moment Jack dragged his huge body out of the flames, he suddenly raised his hand and suddenly released a ball of dazzling red fire.
Seeing this scene, Monlia, as the bishop, immediately stepped forward, put on a red robe representing the official status of a priest, and said with a slightly joyful tone: "Congratulations! You are now Like me, we are all servants of the great God Benu.”
“This is all thanks to your teachings.”
Jack bowed his head very humbly to the supreme leader of the church. The leader bows.
Since he grew up in a traditional Christian family, he is not averse to faith, but is extra pious and fanatical.
Although I can no longer remember what god I believed in, certain habits have been retained and provided a huge help when learning the way of a priest.
“No, this is your piety and persistence that have impressed God. I am just an insignificant guide. In addition, put on the mask quickly, otherwise someone will be unable to help but vomit in a while. "
As he spoke, Monlia handed over a metal mask.
Seeing this thing, the corner of Jack's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably, and he immediately took the mask and used it to cover his face that could be called a "serial car accident scene".
In fact, if he knew that the charm attribute had such a great impact on appearance, he would never choose to reduce it to such a tragic level as three points.
What’s even more outrageous is that when you put on a fully enclosed helmet or the metal mask in front of you, its charm attribute will actually increase from three points to eight points.
However, complaints were complaints, and Jack still chose to put on a mask and walk out of the temple gate as usual, saying hello to his teammates waiting at the door.
"Good morning, how is your progress at the College of Nature?"
"Didn't you see how I dressed today?"
Wu Sheng pointed to the brand new inlaid leather armor on his body, a long sword and a short sword on his belt. There was also a compound bow and a quiver full of arrows behind him.
There is no doubt that such a complete set of equipment is a reward that can only be obtained by graduating from the corresponding academy.
Wearing it means obtaining the true professional level of LV1.
"Hahahaha! Well done! I knew you were a born warrior. It just so happens that I have just become an official priest, and I will probably receive the graduation equipment tomorrow. Then we will apply to leave the floating city together. , go out into the world and have a try." Jack laughed happily.
Wu Sheng smiled and nodded: "No problem, I'll wait for you. By the way, what do you think about the recent uproar?"
Hearing this question, Jack immediately showed a disdainful expression, sneered and said sarcastically: "One hundred gold coins may indeed be a huge sum of money for us now.
But don't forget, the player's level It is constantly improving as time goes by.
The stronger and higher the level, the more ways you can obtain money and wealth.
Perhaps you can complete a risk by then. In the mission, a few trophies collected from enemy corpses can be easily sold for hundreds or even thousands of gold coins.
So at this stage, laying a good foundation and working hard to improve the professional level is the most important. .
What's more, it normally takes at least seven or eight months from pregnancy to delivery. Even if some weird bloodlines can shorten the conception time, three or four months is still inevitable.
During this period, I believe that you and I will definitely be able to earn much more than one hundred gold coins with our strength.
Those idiots were completely blinded by the benefit in front of them.
In a month or two, they will regret the choices they have made now. "
Wu Sheng nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense.
Oh, by the way, I also want to tell you that there are six other people who graduated from the College of Natural Science with me.
One of them is a druid, and the remaining five are rangers.
In addition, there are 70 people in the Warrior Academy who have graduated or are about to graduate, and almost 20 people in the Thief Academy.
In short, it seems that there are not many veterans and killers like you and me who have been on the battlefield.
In addition, I also found that the learning and training time for spellcasting professions is much longer than that for warriors.
Does this mean that the potential and combat effectiveness of the former are much higher than that of the latter? "
"Oh? Wouldn't that be better! Although we are in competition with them to a certain extent, we are also comrades in the same camp. If it is convenient, it is best to contact other teams to see if we can act together. "Jack touched his chin and expressed his thoughts.
" Got it. After I finish my task in the cafeteria today, I will try to make contact with him. "
After that, Wu Sheng turned around and was about to leave.
But before he could take a few steps, he heard Jack's extremely surprised shout from behind him: "Wait! Can you still cook? ”
"Hehe! Of course! I am from the cooking class."
Wu Sheng turned around and gave his teammates a confident smile, and then disappeared without a trace across the street at extremely fast speeds.
"Cooking class? Are you kidding!"
Jack opened his mouth wide with an expression of disbelief.
Because in his impression, soldiers who are responsible for cooking in the army are generally far away from the battlefield. Some of them have never even touched a gun a few times in their service life. How could they have such strong combat effectiveness? , and even became addicted to murder.
However, considering that the identities of these "old popsicles" who have been sleeping for three hundred years like me are extremely complicated. They basically come from all over the world and people from different industries. There are also teenagers with terminal diseases and a strong warrior who can cook. It doesn't really seem like a big deal.
Thinking of this, Jack immediately shook his head to clear all the messy guesses and thoughts from his mind, and planned to use his last day to go to the training ground to practice his close combat abilities.
Although priests do not need to learn to wear and use almost all types of weapons and armor like warriors, it is still very necessary to master a weapon.
The weapon he chose was a "can-opening artifact" weighing more than thirty kilograms - a war hammer.
On Earth, it is impossible for such a heavy cold weapon to be used in actual combat.
Because no human being can lift it up and swing it continuously and fight continuously, not even those legendary heroes and macho men.
Normally, a warhammer weighs less than one kilogram.
But in this world full of magical power, the bodies of many creatures will be strengthened to a certain extent under the influence of magical energy.
In particular, Jack, who combines the blood of an ogre and a giant, has a strength attribute of up to 20 points, which is equivalent to a small humanoid crane.
Let alone thirty kilograms, fifty kilograms or one hundred kilograms can be swung easily.
But considering the long-term continuous combat, he still chose a relatively conservative weight.
As for the free hand, of course I choose to hold a shield to increase protection.
After a while, Jack collided with the large corpse-embedded creature in the training ground that was specially responsible for actual combat training.
Every time the warhammer hits the thick steel shield, it will make a deafening sound, making other trainee priest players passing by stop and watch.
Because the strong impact and sense of power are so shocking.
At the same time, far away on the second floor of the central tower of the floating city.
Vanessa was looking through hundreds of applications from players who had graduated from the corresponding colleges. It took a full minute before she raised her head and asked Tyrantir standing in front of her: "Do you think this situation is going to happen?" How to deal with it? "
"Before Mr. Soth has found and locked the location of the new world, I think the best way is to find something for them to do, such as letting them go to another continent. Participate in our population migration plan.”
After thinking for a while, Tailan Tier quickly came up with a solution.
Because neither Zuo Si nor he expected that among this group of players there would be so many masters who completed training and obtained professional levels in less than half a month.
Vanessa immediately shook her head: "No. The main goal of population migration is to control and capture alive. If these guys go there, I'm afraid they won't stage a bloody massacre."
"Then you say it should be What should we do? It is obviously not possible to keep this group of people in the floating city. Many of them are filled with a strong desire to kill. Who knows what will happen if they hold it in for a long time. "
Tailantir frowned and pointed out the problem.
The more he gets to know these souls from another world, the more he understands that this is an extremely dangerous double-edged sword.
If used properly, it will naturally make the enemy feel unparalleled despair.
But if you don't use it well, it might come back to bite you.
Of course, considering that Zuo Si and Isadora, the mastermind who obeyed him, always hold the key to the final switch, this danger is still within a controllable range for the time being.
“I remember some time ago, wasn’t it said that there were signs of floating cities flying over in the south near the mountainous area? Why not send these people there first to do a field investigation. It would be best if they found it naturally, if It would be nice to ask them to clean up the undead creatures there to gain practical experience.”
After careful consideration, Vanessa made a bold decision.
Since Zuo Si has previously used the legendary magic [Nailed into the Sky] to send a signal amplifier made of magic, psychic energy and technology into a synchronous orbit, the player's range of activities in this world is expanded to a very astonishing degree.
With the floating city as the center, it is covered within a radius of more than 10,000 kilometers.
Not only that! The signal can be maintained even five kilometers underground.
It can even be said that as long as a few more similar magic satellites are launched, it will not be a problem to completely cover the entire planet.
The only drawback is that the cost of manufacturing this thing is very high, basically starting at one million gold coins each.
Once it malfunctions or is smashed by a meteorite from outer space, there is no possibility of recycling and repairing it. You can only build a new one and throw it up.
Even if Zuo Si has a big business now, it is impossible to launch several missiles at once to directly cover the entire planet. Instead, he will temporarily ensure that the player's activities within his own sphere of influence are not restricted.
What's more, the Magic Satellite, like the first-generation Behemoth electromagnetic gun, is something that was manufactured at any cost under the current strong demand. There is a lot of room for improvement in both design and process. There is no need to make too much at once, just enough for the time being.
Tailan Tier's eyes shone slightly, and he immediately nodded in approval: "This is a good idea, just in time to test the stability of the psychic signal. But how to send them there? Do we need to use group teleportation magic?"
"No, you can't use magic, otherwise it will be easy to capture the energy fluctuations if there is a floating city nearby.
Didn't the weapons design and R&D department come up with a tool called an airship last week?
Let these players ride on the newly manufactured Experimental Model No. 1.
At that time, I will install more supplies and potions to neutralize the magical plague, and then release a large-scale mission with generous rewards. ”
In this way, under the discussion of Vanessa and Tyrantir, the players’ first outing mission was finalized.
You must know that although Zuo Si and the people in the organization The lichs have captured and cleaned up the large groups of undead creatures gathered in major cities, but there are still small groups of undead wandering in the mountains, jungles and villages.
No one knows whether the mutated bacteria and viruses they carry are still contagious, let alone whether some of the undead have evolved self-awareness and wisdom after being baptized with negative energy for a long time.
Especially for players who only have LV1 real professional level, their entire army may be wiped out if they are not careful.
However, Vanessa and Tyrantir feel that a player's combat effectiveness should not simply be based on their professional level, but also include the various knowledge and professional skills they have mastered while alive.
......
On the other side, Zuo Si, who returned to the continent of Faerun, did not know that his "Fourth Natural Disaster" was about to set off on their first mission.
He was currently reading the information sent by the little devil and stroking the white bear cub lying at his feet, which had grown to the size of a black bear.
Due to the completion of a series of biological transformations and the blessing of the legendary Druid's natural power, this little guy is no longer as skinny as when he first arrived, but has become very strong and fat.
The head is not as slender as the ordinary polar white bear, but as round and cute as the brown bear.
The two bear paws with exaggerated proportions and the metallic claws hidden under the meat pads still show that its lineage is no longer as simple as a white bear.
The few deciduous teeth that have just grown in are sharp enough to easily crush the hardest rock.
If you pull out the thick and lush hair and look closely, you will find that the skin that should be black also shows a metallic luster, as hard as steel.
If you use a magnifying glass, you can also notice that this seemingly smooth skin is actually made up of fish scale-like scales that are closely spliced together.
You don’t need to ask to know that Zuo Si implanted some “weird” bloodlines into this white bear cub that have the ability to swallow and manipulate metal.
Although there is not much change in appearance, the bones, muscles, blood, and internal organs in the body are actually very different from those of white bears and even mammals.
This guy is currently holding a ball of cold iron worth tens of thousands of gold coins, dipping it in the butter on the plate from time to time, then putting it in his mouth and chewing it with relish.
The sound of the metal breaking made the little devil's eyes full of fear.
It has no doubt that this strange bear that has established a spiritual connection with its owner can bite his head or even half of his body into pieces in one bite.
"Interesting! I didn't expect that there were so many lurkers in Ascaltra, and even the families of the six members of the Council were infiltrated. The skills of these mind flayers are really amazing. My expectation."
Zuo Si casually placed the information he had just read on the table, with a hint of mockery in his tone.
You must know that there are more than thirty mind flayers, operating under the noses of the Shadow Thieves, the Masked Mage Guild and the Knights of the Burning Heart, without being discovered at all.
Some of them have also established secret strongholds, trying to convert more companions, and even create a new mastermind.
There are also several large business groups, some thieves guilds affiliated with the shadow thieves, and more than twenty famous adventure teams and mercenaries, all of which are secretly controlled by them.
If this continues, maybe in a few decades or even hundreds of years, the whole of Amn may fall, just like the Entanglement Talisman controls Calimshan.
"Great Master! Do you think we should take some action to catch all these mind flayers? Or send out your mind flayers to take this group of lurkers for your own use?" Little Devil Face He asked with an evil smile on his face.
Zuo Si waved his hand gently: "No, there is no need. Later, we will package these materials and send them to the six-member council and let them deal with them themselves. In contrast, I I am more interested in this book and its author.”
While talking, Zuo Si picked up "The Hero of Light and Darkness Volume 2" on the table.
You don’t need to ask to know that this thing is the latest work of the former bard teammate-Keers.
But the problem is that there are many contents inside that he, a mortal, should never know.
Including threatening the gods with the Eldrazi in the Pantheon, the trip to the Underdark to kill Angel Toxic Core and the Avatar of Shar who became the God of Spores, and recently teaming up with Shayne VII The detailed battle process to kill the Entangling Talisman and the "Sharp Tooth" of Ivicola Saglan.
It can even be said that the other party seemed to know the truth of all the big news Zuo Si made in Faerun through some channel.
There is something abnormal behind the whole book.
This feeling became vague when I read the first book.
The little devil undoubtedly knew this very well, and immediately reported carefully: "Master with infinite wisdom, after you mentioned this matter last time, I sent people to Deepwater City to investigate this thing called Ke
Discovered that he had parted ways with his two previous teammates a long time ago
Currently living in the home of a wealthy widow, doing nothing but writing every day. Indulging in enjoyment, there is no sign of contact with anyone or any force. It is said that even his personality has changed a lot
This is obviously very suspicious! "
"You mean... he might be controlled or possessed? "Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and guessed.
"Yes! Maybe it's an evil god who's interested in you, maybe it's a demon duke from Baator, or a demon lord from the Abyss. Anyway, what is certain is that this is definitely a conspiracy against you! As for these two books, they are actually bait deliberately put out by the other party to attract your attention. ”
While saying these words, the little devil’s eyes burst out with frightening red light.
Although it is not outstanding in terms of strength, it can even be said to be quite weak. , but obviously has rich experience and innate talent in analyzing conspiracy
Zuo Si lowered his head and thought about it for several minutes, then stood up suddenly and said in a slightly playful tone: "Since the other party wants to attract my attention, I might as well pay him a visit."
"What? Are you crazy! This is most likely a trap!" the little devil quickly dissuaded him.
“Trap? So what.
Don’t forget, this is the continent of Faerûn controlled by His Majesty the God of Gods Io, a land that is extremely special even in the multiverse.
Whether it is a god, a devil Duke, or an abyss lord hiding behind Kels, I have enough means to deal with it.
The most important thing now is to understand the other party's identity and intentions. ”
After saying this, Zuo Si directly activated the teleportation magic.
The white bear cub who was eating cold iron dipped in butter saw this and immediately took the remaining cold iron in one mouthful. He poured all the iron and butter in the rice bowl into his mouth, then hugged the owner's calf with extremely skillful movements, and teleported away together.
The next second...
One person at a time. The bear appeared in the mansion in Waterdeep, startling the maid who was cleaning the basement.
When he learned that his employer had appeared, the housekeeper Ivis Harlin ran downstairs immediately, wanting to report on the work and expenses during this period.
But unfortunately, Zuo Si was not interested at all. He directly threw another five thousand gold coins to the other party as daily expenses, refused to take the carriage driven by the servant, walked straight out of the door and disappeared into the endless flow of people.
However, he did not rush to find Kels, but went to the Black Stick Tower first.
Kelben and Laila, the electorate couple, had obviously anticipated Zuo Si's arrival, so they immediately invited him into the upper reception room.
As soon as they met, Laila couldn't help but test it immediately: "Is the content in that book true? Did you really threaten the gods in the Pantheon? Afterwards, you went to the Underdark to kill A new god, and destroying an incarnation of Shar, the goddess of night? Is that huge rift in the High Forest leading to the underworld your work?"
"Yes! Although there may be some discrepancies in the details, it is indeed my fault." Zuo Si admitted very simply.
"Goddess! Although I have known that sooner or later you would do something extremely crazy with your power, is this too much?" Kelben exclaimed, holding his forehead.
Because compared with what Zuo Si has done recently, the fact that Sammaster, who was called a madman, founded the Dragon Cult and caused the incarnation of Lathander, Lord of the Dawn, to bleed is really nothing.
He couldn't understand at all why the young man in front of him always looked rational and calm, but the things he did became more and more outrageous and exaggerated.
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders innocently: "I can't help it. The reason for threatening the gods in the Pantheon is because they want to limit or even seal my ability to travel through time and space. What happened in the Underdark is the goddess of the night. Shar plotted against me first, and I had to fight back. Even when I joined forces with Shane VII, I had already greeted the God of Suffering, the God of Justice, and the God of Loyalty and Courage.”
"Ha! So you think you have no responsibility at all, and you didn't do anything wrong?"
Kelben laughed angrily on the spot.
You must know that in order to investigate what was going on with the loud noises and vibrations coming from the High Forest, he sent out several elite teams, and suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the Zhentarim.
The spies of the Harper Alliance died one after another.
But what’s the result?
The result is that all of this is just an insignificant aftermath of the divine battle in the Fungus Forest.
In other words, these people all died in vain.
"I can't say that I don't have any responsibility at all, but I'm definitely not the main responsibility."
Zuo Si sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Just when Kelben was about to say something, Laila on the side immediately shook her head to stop him with a very obscure movement, and then continued to test: "Then you come to Deepwater City this time , it should be to find out the true identity of Kers and the power behind him, right?”
Zuo Si first calmly took a sip of hot tea, and then nodded with a smile: "You guessed it right. I'm very sure that he is definitely not the Kels I knew before. As the lord of Waterdeep City, I believe you two have noticed this guy a long time ago, right? If you don’t mind, can you share the information?”
“It’s okay to share the information, but you have to tell us first if this person is disguised as Kers. What should I do if the guy has an amazing background? Do you want to use that amazingly powerful artifact again in Waterdeep City?"
There was a hint of nervousness in Laila's tone.
There is no way not to be nervous!
She has found information about the scepter that originally belonged to the ancient sun god Amaunata through some ancient books and information, as well as its terrifying power of absorbing the power of faith and transforming it into a divine impact.
This can be glimpsed from the huge sinkhole in the High Forest that leads directly to the Underdark.
In addition, it may be very difficult for other people to collect enough power of faith in Faerûn, and it may also annoy other gods and their churches.
But for Zuo Si, who has the ability to travel freely through different time and space, it is easier than eating and drinking.
Lyla simply couldn’t imagine that if the young man in front of her got into a fight with the ancient evil creature disguised as Kers, and directly launched a divine attack in Waterdeep City, would this historic city still be alive? will exist.
"You are worrying too much. I just want to find out the other party's identity and purpose this time. That's all. I have no intention of taking action. What's more, I'm not a devil, how could I do this? Drag the innocent people of Waterdeep in. ”
Zuo Si gave the promise straightforwardly without even hesitating.
As a planeswalker, one of his greatest advantages is that he can always keep the initiative in the battle firmly in his own hands.
As long as he doesn't want to fight, he can directly teleport away with the help of sparks.
By then all dimensional anchors and space locks will be useless.
"Very good! I hope you will do what you say."
Laila was visibly relieved to get the answer she wanted, raised her head and winked at her husband.
Kelben neatly threw a sheep's head mark flashing with an evil red light on the table, and asked with a serious face: "I think you should recognize this, right?"
"A devil's mark from Baator Hell?" Zuo Si picked it up and glanced at it.
“No! This is not the mark of an ordinary Devil Duke or a plane lord, but the mark of Asmodeus, the Lord of the Nine Hells.
Obviously, one of your Some behaviors or abilities aroused his interest, so he deliberately published those books to attract your attention
In addition, I also noticed that the house is now filled with the evil atmosphere from Baator Hell, which is obviously not something ordinary high-level devils can do.
So you'd better be careful and find a way to escape immediately if you find something wrong. ”
Khelben issued a warning with an unprecedented solemn attitude.
Because no matter who it is, even the superior gods, when facing Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell, They must be extremely careful, otherwise they may fall into the trap they have set in advance.
The most important thing is that, unlike the demon lords in the Abyss, each of them has a clear origin and origin. No one knows who Asmodeus is or where he comes from.
In some very ancient rumors, he is described as a powerful god who fell to the original hell plane, or an ancient evil creature that represents some rules and order at the beginning of the multiverse.
The devil was born from his blood filled with evil and filth.
In other classics written by unknown gods or other creatures, Asmodeus is described as an angel created by the gods.
During the battle with demons, he acquired the evil qualities of his mortal enemy. With cunning strategies and the observance of the contract by the gods of order, he successfully stole power and finally established his own Baator Hell. , and continuously draw energy from the souls of fallen mortals.
But no matter which one is the truth, there is no doubt that Asmodeus is powerful.
For thousands of years, he successfully resisted the continuous crazy attacks of demons just by commanding his demon army.
And other ambitious devils have never been able to truly threaten the supreme status of the Lord of the Nine Hells, even if several level lords join forces.
"Asmodeus..."
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and whispered the name that made countless mortals frightened. Instead of feeling the slightest fear, he was more excited about what was coming next. The meeting was full of expectations.
Because he is really curious about the true identity of Asmodeus?
Why are the devils pursuing me so hard?
Would you even hesitate to write a book to attract your own attention?
Just when Zuo Si was about to stand up and leave, Kelben suddenly added: "I almost forgot to mention that the result of the elf you asked me to help investigate last time - Lantis has been obtained.
Currently, there are less than twenty legendary magic archers recorded on Yongju Island.
Sixteen of them have been dead for more than five hundred years, and only two are still standing.
