Chapter 455 The Temptation of Becoming a God (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
The French city of Jindelanc is the easternmost point of the Faerun continent, located between the Purple Dust Plain (also called the Purple Dust Desert) To the north, next to it is the Bright Star Lake that divides the continent of Faerûn and the continent of Karatu.
Same as Muhong in the north and Ser, ruled by red-robed wizards further to the northwest.
In the beginning, Shenfa was just a part of the slaves who, under the leadership of their gods, destroyed the magical civilization of Imaskar, and then established a huge theocratic empire - Mulhorand.
Anther, another theocratic empire next to it, was established in almost the same way.
However, as the two ancient empires continued to experience turmoil, rebellion, and weakness, many marginal areas gradually separated and gained independent status.
However, in name, these small border countries are still vassals of the Mulhorand Empire.
But after the end of the Year of Turbulence, Io, the God of Gods, may have felt that it was a bit outrageous that these gods from across the planes had been ruling mortals in a way similar to the incarnation of saints.
So I took it upon myself to eliminate the barriers that the artificers of the Imasca Empire had set up when fighting the gods.
This barrier prevents them from connecting with the kingdom of the outer plane, and they can only exist in the mortal body like saints through reincarnation.
The disappearance of the barrier allowed the gods walking on this land to finally return to their true nature, instead of running around with a fragile body. It also ended the thousands of years of theocratic rule.
Many scholars believe that this marks the official acceptance of them by the god Io as a member of the gods of Toril.
You must know that in the previous state, the gods of Mulhorand and Unther were incomplete.
This is why they suffered a big loss when fighting the orc gods.
Re, the sun god of Mulhorand, and many Unther gods fell one after another in the "Battle of the Orc Gate".
There are more than eight explicitly recorded.
The orc god Gruumsh became even more famous because of this, becoming the first known god-killer in the country.
You must know that when Mulhorand and Unser joined forces, they had an overwhelming advantage in terms of numbers.
There is more than one person with great power.
But even so, they still suffered a horrific massacre.
Gruumsh even went on a killing spree when there were more than one enemy, killing one god after another like a beast without even being seriously injured.
Although the alliance formed by the two pantheons finally won the "Battle of Orc Gate", the huge losses directly caused the Unther gods to collapse and almost die.
The main beliefs of his country have also been continuously eroded by the gods of Mulhorand, Bane, the god of tyranny, Mystra, the second-generation magic goddess, and Tempus, the god of war.
Now there are probably only two left, the Dragon God Tiamat and the Vengeance God Howl.
And both of them were very smart to get rid of the shackles of their original identities and broke away from the Unser pantheon to join the Faerun pantheon.
The gods of Mulhorand also fell into a long period of decline.
But now, as divinity and power return to their true nature, the gods of Mulhorand are revitalized.
Although the entire country is undergoing unprecedented changes after mortals take power, conspiracies and struggles for power are also in full swing.
Compared with Eunse, which is in serious civil strife next door and where slaves and civilians revolt one after another, it is simply incomparable.
So as expected, the Mulhorand Empire launched a war against its former ally Unther.
The only good thing is that the scale of the war is not large, and it only exists on the border between the two countries.
Although the French city of Jindelanc was slightly affected, the trade route with the Karatu continent was not interrupted.
Countless caravans are still gathering here in an endless stream.
Especially a large number of specialties from the far east, as long as they are transported along the Rosen River to the Falling Star Sea, they can immediately earn at least twenty times or even thirty times the profit.
So the people here are nervous and busy, and all they can think about is how to use the trade between the two continents to make more money and make themselves and their families richer.
But they didn't realize at all that an extremely dangerous person was hiding in Jindrank City.
Right now, he was in a gray brick house, roaring angrily at his followers: "Are you all fools and idiots?
Spend How important is it for me to know what is hidden in his body and soul? ?
Without that thing, I would not be able to complete the most critical step in the ceremony and be promoted from mortal to god!”
"But...but Master, that boy is the son of Baal.
And he has also awakened part of his divine power and divinity.
He can be teleported to any corner of Faerûn in an instant.< br>
Especially in recent times, he seems to have hidden somewhere that can block the tracking of prophecy magic, making it impossible for us to find the exact location.
The only thing we know is that the location where he last appeared is. Baldur's Gate on the West Coast"
A middle-aged bald mage wearing a red robe carefully explained.
It can be seen that he is a typical Serge red robe, with magic tattoos that sparkle with arcane aura densely carved on his head and neck.
Although not all red robes are willing to shave their heads, just to gain more and more powerful magical power.
For example, Edwin did not shave his hair and beard, but had thick and lush blond hair.
But generally speaking, red-robed mages are pragmatic and willing to sacrifice a little beauty for power.
This is why in many people’s minds, bald heads and tattoos are always associated with red-robed mage.
In addition, as neighboring countries that are not far away, Sale and Mulhorand are quite close, so it is not strange for them to appear in the French city of Jindelanc.
But it is obviously rare to see a room as densely packed as now.
After all, Mulhorand is not the weak countries in the west, but an empire with strong strength. The number of priests in the church can be said to be quite large.
The red-robed wizards would not be stupid and leave the west side, which is easier to invade, instead of fighting against their former suzerain country.
Their presence in Mulhorand usually has only one purpose.
That is to obtain more slaves, as well as rare and precious spellcasting materials, or to dig out knowledge, scrolls and magic items about the Imasca Empire from ancient ruins.
“I don’t care!
Send everyone to Baldur’s Gate to search for traces of that boy!
In short, we must find out what is hidden in his body before he Before the secret, bring me back alive!
remember!
It’s not the corpse that wants to live!
If anything happens, I will turn you all into ghouls and zombies! "
The old red-robed mage at the head glared at his two green eyes and threatened fiercely.
Anyone who has a little bit of research on necromancy magic can learn from his body Feel the abundant negative energy that is completely different from the living.
You know without asking that this is a guy who has just transformed himself into a lich.
"As you wish, the great Vesharon."
All the red-robed mages and other followers present hurriedly knelt down and knelt down to this old man who exuded a terrifying aura. , and then quickly cast teleportation magic and disappeared.
Obviously, this red-robed lich is none other than the most powerful competitor of Sazastan, the leader of the Ser Necromancer Department. The most dangerous enemy - Velsharon.
He has fought against the Storm Queen Ximbu and the Great Sage Elminster of the Valley of Shadows more than once, but was expelled from Sere due to failed political struggles a few centuries ago.
Since then, Vesharon has been dedicated to exploring the Purple Dust Plains, hoping to find the treasures left behind by the Imaskar Empire from the endless deserts and ruins.
Including the endless knowledge, powerful artifacts, and methods of making various strange objects cheaply, I plan to one day kill back, kill Sazastan and replace him.
The interesting thing is that he did not find much what he wanted from the ruins of the Purple Dust Plain. Instead, he discovered a method of becoming a god left by Talos, the storm god in ancient times.
As long as you follow the above process, a powerful archmage may become a demigod.
Of course, the premise is to obtain the permission of Io, the god above the gods.
Velshalon fell into ecstasy almost instantly, and immediately tried to get in touch with Talos, the god of storms, and agreed to become the other party's slave after becoming a god.
I have to say, this is simply as outrageous as a businessman who originally planned to make a little money by digging sand, but suddenly got lucky and dug up a large oil field.
In fact, becoming a god in the universe where Toril lives is more dramatic than many people imagine, full of chance and surprise.
Do you think that the process of becoming a god is for mortals to accumulate strength bit by bit, seize divine power and divinity through various methods, and then develop followers until they become quasi-gods or even demigods?
Big mistake!
A truly simple and unpretentious god should be like Mystra. One second she was an ordinary shepherdess, and the next second the god Io descended from the sky and asked if she wanted to sign a contract with her to become a magical girl (2) goddess of magic).
When she answered yes, she was instantly promoted from a mortal to the most powerful god in the country after Io, and she was also the supreme master of the magic network.
The exact same situation happened to Cyric in the turbulent years.
This guy just found the Tablet of Destiny, and then gained all the power of the three gods of death.
So if you want to become a powerful god in this world, you have never relied on hard work, talent, or cunning and cunning plans, but on maximizing the invisible and intangible attribute of luck.
There is no doubt that Veshalon is such a person with incredible luck.
In the original history of Faerûn, he would complete all processes around DR1368 and become the god of lich, undead creatures and necromancy magic.
But the problem now is that with the emergence of Zuo Si, the world has changed a lot.
An item crucial to the apotheosis of the gods was stolen by a son of Baal during transportation.
And this son of Baal is Sancho who is currently hiding in the Tower of Master Ascaltra.
In the original timeline, the boy would be captured by Velsalun's men not long after, and would eventually become a small sacrifice without even a name on the way to becoming a god to the Lich God.
But now, Vesalun and his men can no longer find any trace of Sancho.
Because all prophecy magic has been blocked by the protection of the mage tower.
The only thing they can do now is to look for clues near Baldur's Gate.
Baldur's Gate at this moment can be called "starry".
Not only are there the ambitious Sarevok who wants to inherit his father's Blood Throne, but also the protagonists in the adventure story of the Sons of Baal - Aberdare and Imoen, and the electorate of Bane - Zhentil Castle led by Fuzor Chambery. Army.
There are also the forces under Zuo Si, the Harper Alliance that has not yet completely evacuated, the Dragon Cult that is lurking nearby and waiting for opportunities, the Zhentarim that provides intelligence support for the Zhentil Keep army, and some more extreme ones The Shadow Druid sect, the mind flayer lurkers and the monsters controlled by them, and the Alliance of Northland Lords, led by Waterdeep City, are considering whether to send reinforcements.
If Veshalon and his followers are involved, then Sazastan, the chief of the necromancy department of the red robe mage, will definitely not stand idly by.
Oh, by the way, we have to add the trade alliance led by the Church of Woking, the goddess of wealth.
As for the Baldur's Gate officials who are still kept in the dark and the Shadow Thieves who are deeply involved in the civil war, they are not even qualified to join this game.
Of course, the chaotic situation outside has nothing to do with Sancho.
Due to his identity as the son of Baal, he has been on the run. From the beginning to the end, he did not know that he was being hunted by Velsalun, and he thought that the group of red-robed mages were also targeting the murder in his body. Comes from the blood of God.
As he became Zuo Si's apprentice, the boy spent every day in constant learning and magic experiments. For the first time, he had an unprecedented sense of security, and could even occasionally talk to his peers.
After all, the tower is home to little werewolves, succubus lolita, orphans sent by the Church of the God of Suffering to learn professional knowledge and skills, as well as various demon bats and devils wandering around doing odd jobs. and some magical creatures.
Although Zuo Si, a mentor, is often invisible, Sancho still likes this kind of life very much.
Especially since he didn't have to worry all day long about the pursuers who might appear at any time, he could eat and sleep with peace of mind every day, which made him feel that it would be good to maintain the status quo.
But unfortunately, this beautiful life can only last for half a year at most. Every son of Baal cannot escape his fate and can only face it bravely.
“Alas——”
Staring at the thick stack of books in front of him, the boy couldn’t help but sigh slightly, and grabbed the pastries and cakes placed on the table. He stuffed some snacks into his mouth, and whispered while eating: "If I had known that I would have to learn so many things to be a mage, I might as well have been a warrior or a thief."
"What, you regret it? ”
Atona quietly emerged from behind a bookshelf in the library, with a playful smile on her delicate and cute little face.
As a succubus, she naturally likes to pry into other people's hearts and minds, and then find weaknesses and exploit them to achieve her own goals.
"No, it's not that I regret it, I just found that becoming a mage is not as easy as I thought."
Sancho shrugged his shoulders, obviously used to this man who looked older than himself. The older girl was elusive.
"The master said that there is no shortcut to the pursuit of power and truth. If you discover a method that can quickly improve your power, then it must hide unknown hidden dangers and traps." Succubus Loli warned solemnly.
Because she discovered that among the thick pile of books, there was one that was clearly related to sacrifice.
You must know that in this world full of magic and supernatural power, in addition to gods, there are many beings who can give mortals power.
The most famous of them are the demons and devils in the lower planes.
Sometimes, as long as a mortal does something evil to please the other party, there is a certain probability that he will receive a reward.
Especially the demons from the Chaos camp, they do things as they please and don't follow routines.
This is why there are far more devil worshipers than devil worshipers in the material world.
In addition, there are some beast spirits and spirit spirits that will also accept sacrifices of killing and blood.
Since Atona was originally a succubus, and she was also a believer of Zuo Si, the lord of the hell realm, and could even be said to be a chosen one, she knew this aspect very well.
But the boy rolled his eyes angrily and responded: "I am not one of those fools. I have received education in this area and know what is going on. Don't worry, I am not reading this book. In order to gain power, but to understand the symbolic meaning behind it."
"Because you were sacrificed by those crazy believers and other sons of Baal?" Atona asked with interest.
"That's right! Also, can you stop staring at me all day? It makes me seem like I might make a big mistake at any time."
There was a trace of impatience in Sancho's tone.
There is no doubt that she is different from many teenagers who are confused by the beautiful appearance of succubus lolita.
He is too young to be interested in the opposite sex, so he is quite tough in both speech and attitude, quite like Zuo Si's demeanor back then.
Atona was not angry, but said in a smiling tone: "Do you think I am willing to do this?
It's not because your identity as the son of Baal brings many uncertain risks.
You don’t know yet?
In the past few days, people have suddenly appeared in Baldur's Gate area asking for information about you.
I suspect you must be involved in some trouble that you don't even know about. "
"What? Someone is asking about my whereabouts! ”
Sancho, who was indifferent one second, showed an extremely nervous expression the next second.
"Hmph! Why, are you scared now?"
Atona's eyes revealed disdain.
"Stop playing riddles! Tell me who they are? And why are they chasing me? No! I have to find a mentor!"
Sancho suddenly jumped from his chair He stood up and planned to leave the library and go straight to the upper tower owner's exclusive room.
But before he could take a few steps, Succubus Loli teased in a joking tone: "Save it! The master learned the news immediately and is now working on it. By the time you react, I'm afraid The other party has already come to the door."
"Huh? The instructor already knows!"
The boy stopped suddenly, with an expression of shock and disbelief on his face.
“Nonsense! Remember, you are the master’s only disciple at the moment. Don’t always be impatient and afraid of this and that. In this world, there are not many people who dare to provoke the master to attack you. Guy."
After saying this, Atona stood up and walked to Sancho, raised her slender little hand and hit him hard on the head, then hummed and jumped up and down. disappeared at the end of the corridor outside, leaving only the latter screaming and slumped on the ground.
...
At the same time, in a manor outside Baldur's Gate in the north, Zuo Si was meeting with a very important guest, the chief of the Necromancer faction organized by the red-robed mage of Seir— —Sazastan.
You don’t need to ask to know that this powerful legendary lich came after Velsharon and his men.
As once evenly matched rivals, no one understands the dangers of Velsharun better than Sazastan.
So even after the latter was exiled, he kept sending people to keep an eye on him.
After discovering that Velsharon's followers began to appear in droves on the west coast of Faerûn, Sazastan immediately chose to take action. However, since he had reached an agreement with Zuo Si before, he did not choose to investigate secretly. Instead, he took the initiative to reveal his identity and issued an invitation to meet. This was the scene that finally unfolded.
In fact, to a certain extent, Sazastan, who is rational, calm, smart, has unparalleled patience and is good at playing tricks, has many similarities with Zuo Si in terms of personality.
In addition, both of them were not shy about using undead on a large scale, so after a simple greeting and conversation, the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.
After all, the west coast empire that Zuo Si is about to establish is in the southwest of the Faerun continent, while Ser, controlled by the red-robed mages, is in the northeast corner of the Faerun continent.
According to the principle of distant friendship and close attack, the two sides do not have many substantive conflicts of interest at all, and are naturally suitable to become allies.
The other two countries are basically determined to be based on arcane magic as the foundation of their country, and they will inevitably have many common languages.
If Aznar Sruel hadn't brought people to Luskan to cause trouble and the relationship was so tense, Sazastan would have sent people to try to deal with the man in front of him who had special powers. The planeswalker and chosen god makes contact and offers some cooperation.
But it seems it is not too late.
Thinking of this, he slightly pursed his lips with a smile, and said in as sincere a tone as possible: "Dear Soth, I think you should know why I came here, right?"
"For those red-robed mages who are inquiring about the whereabouts of a boy?" Zuo Si asked with a half-smile.
"No, no, no, I want to correct you. Most of them have been expelled from the organization and are no longer part of the red robe mage." Sazastan explained quickly.
“But I don’t see any difference between them and ordinary red-robed mages.
Okay, don’t beat around the bush, just tell me what happened.
I don’t think a busy person like you would have nothing to do, traveling thousands of miles from the east to the west of the mainland.”
Zuo Si was obviously tired of this endless probing, and took the initiative to show off his cards.
Based on the information given by the Zhentarim dark intelligence network and his lich, he had roughly guessed the reason, and just wanted to confirm it again.
Sazastan was silent for a moment, then slowly asked: "Do you know Velsharon?"
"Vesharon? The necromantic faction that competed with you a long time ago The guy who held the chief position and later failed in the fight and was exiled? "
A hint of understanding flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.
"Yes. This guy has been hiding in Jindrank City north of the Purple Dust Plains, working tirelessly with his followers to dig and explore the ruins of the Imaskar Empire.
What you saw appeared in Baldur The red-robed mages near the door are his subordinates.
Some of them are losers who have had no choice but to defect to the past, and some are apprentices he has personally trained according to Sel's method.
In short, these are the ones he has trained. Although mages appear to be the same as red-robed mages, they are actually hostile to us.
Just recently, spies reported that Velshalon seemed to be digging in an ancient ruins in the desert. A certain artifact or amazing magical knowledge was revealed.
But later, for some unknown reason, a vital part of the excavated items was stolen.
The thief is the boy they are looking for. ”
Sazastan did not hide anything, and openly told the information he had.
Because he knew that if he wanted to operate on the west coast and defeat Velsalun, he must Make an agreement with the young people in front of you first, it is best to form an alliance
"Purple Dust Desert...
The ruins of the ancient Imaskar Empire...
The battlefield where artificers fought against the gods of other worlds...
Plus Vesharon...
I think I know what he found. ”
Zuo Si touched his chin and showed a meaningful smile.
Although he didn't know much about the Lich God Vesalun, he roughly knew the time when the other party became a god and the method he used.
I just didn’t expect that the two sides could communicate across the entire Faerûn continent.
Similarly, Zuo Si also realized why his new disciple Sancho was able to get rid of the influence of Baal's divinity and power at such a young age.
This is not because the boy has a strong willpower, but because he has unintentionally absorbed something that he should not have absorbed.
“What is it?”
Sazastan leaned forward slightly, his pupils flashing with strong curiosity.
There is no way not to be curious!
He obviously knows very well that the thing that makes Vesharon so nervous and important should at least be a powerful artifact, or the weapons and magic originally created by the artificer to deal with the gods. .
If you can grab it, you will be sure to defeat several other chiefs in the council and completely control the red robe mage organization and the entire Ser.
"Haha, you wouldn't think such important information would be free, would you?" Zuo Si smiled slyly.
Sazastan was so smart that he immediately understood that the other party was indicating that he was offering a price, and calmly tried: "What do you want in exchange?"
"I want all the magic tattoo making technology in exchange. Exchange."
Zuo Si opened his mouth unceremoniously.
You must know that the magic tattoo production technology of Sel Red Robe is second to none in the entire Faerûn continent.
And it has also derived branches such as [Drawing Magic Tattoo], [Spell Casting Tattoo], [Storing Magic Tattoo], [Spell Tattoo] and so on.
Ordinary low-level magic tattoo techniques can at best make the skin tougher and gain some magic resistance and immunity, but they can be used to store a complete spell.
The gap between the two is not that big.
The [Spellcasting Tattoo] is equivalent to a constant metamagic skill, which is charged and used once every twenty-four hours. After activation, the next spell will have the effect of silent spell and fixed spell;
[Storage Tattoo] is just like the name, it can store any spell and release it when needed;
[Spell Tattoo] is very close to a disposable scroll tattooed on the skin. , it will disappear completely after being used.
Although Zuo Si and his lichs have also developed a set of rune magic that can cast constant spells on the body, so far they can only achieve the fourth level and below.
But the red-robed mage's superb magic tattooing technology can tattoo seventh-, eighth-, and even ninth-level spells on his body.
Although he himself has little use for such technology, it is still a rare good thing for a spellcasting organization and even a country.
What's more, after acquiring the magic tattoo technology, it can also be used to strengthen the summoned creatures of the planeswalker card.
Sazastan was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the other party would actually offer such an expensive price.
After all, magic tattoo technology is one of the core secrets of the red robe mage. Only selected members who are loyal to the organization are qualified to learn the production technology.
Similarly, he also realized that what Velsharon found was far more valuable than he imagined.
The two stared at each other's eyes for a full minute, and then Sazastan gently fiddled with the ring on his finger and asked: "Is this news really that precious?"
Zuo Si replied very simply: "Believe me, you will definitely make a lot of money by using magic tattoos in exchange for this news. After all, that is a way to promote a powerful mage to become a demigod."
< br>In an instant!
Sazastan's whole body fell into absolute stillness as if he had been under a body-fixing spell.
If it hadn't been for the lich that had turned into an undead creature, he would definitely be trembling slightly with excitement now.
Promoting a powerful mage to become a demigod?
No wonder Velshalon was so nervous that he even sent all his men to Baldur's Gate on the west coast.
There is no doubt that as the chief of the Ser red-robed Necromancer faction, Sazastan also has the ambition to become a god, but he has not found a way yet.
Now that I suddenly learned such news, whether it was for the purpose of destroying the enemy's plan or to realize my own wish, it was necessary to go all out.
After thinking about this, the legendary lich quickly cast an unknown spell.
The next second...
A large book exuding a dazzling arcane aura appeared out of thin air and landed on the table with a thud.
Sazastan gently pushed the book forward: "Here, this is what you want. Now please tell me immediately what exactly Velsalun got."
< br>
"In an ancient ruin on the Purple Dust Plain, he found the method of becoming a god left behind by Talos, the God of Storms, long ago.
As for what it is specifically, I don't know much about it either.
But what is certain is that using this method to become a god requires the help of Talos and the permission of the god Io.
Of course, the second point does not mean it. Said.
Because in Toril, even gods that already exist from another world must obtain the latter's permission to enter as gods
Plus, you don't have to worry too much about whether Velsharon's plan will succeed.
The boy he is looking for is called Sancho, and he is under my protection. ”
As Zuo Si answered, he quickly flipped through this book that recorded countless magic tattoo making techniques and techniques.
In just a few minutes, there were hundreds of pages, each of which The front and back of the page were filled with tiny characters and patterns, and they were completely copied into the memory library.
"Is that boy in your hands?" ! ”
A hint of joy appeared on Sazastan's slightly dry face.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Well. To be honest, I didn't find anything unusual when I took Sancho in.
Only because he is the son of Baal.
< br>But now it seems that there are other secrets hidden in his body and soul
Secrets that can deceive my eyes and perception
That's interesting, isn't it? ”
“It’s really interesting. I think we should join forces to deal with Velshalun this time, and then get the method to become a god. What do you think? ”
Sazastan took the initiative to propose an alliance.
From the conversation just now, he had noticed that Zuo Si was not too hostile to him, but was a bit open and honest.< br>
But Zuo Si refused bluntly: "Forget it about forming an alliance.
I have a pretty good relationship with Storm Queen Xinbu. If she knew that I had formed an alliance with Sel's red robe, she would most likely come over to investigate.
And I have no interest in becoming a god.
Because if I had this idea, there would be no need to go to so much trouble. There would be many powerful gods willing to help.
So what seems extremely precious to you is worthless to me.
But don't worry, I'm not going to stop you.
Just the opposite!
If you are willing to do me a little favor, then I will reciprocate and provide you with some conveniences. "
Hearing these words, even Sazastan, who rarely had strong emotional fluctuations after becoming a lich, couldn't help but start to feel lemony in his heart.
Sour!
Too sour!
However, he also knew that the other party was not bluffing, but stating an ordinary fact.
After all, Talona, the goddess of poison and disease,'s love for this son of the plague is no longer a secret, but an almost semi-public matter.
There are even rumors that the goddess has already had some indescribable intimate behaviors with her, just like what the second-generation magic goddess did to her chosen ones.
In addition, Zuo Si’s relationship with Ogma, the god of knowledge, and Midnight, the third-generation goddess of magic, is also well-known.
In addition, he recently went to the triple realm of the Abyss to rescue the goddess of wealth Watkin from Graz'zt, and then started a series of actions with her.
Anyone who is not blind can see that the two parties have entered into an intimate covenant.
What’s even more outrageous is that Zuo Si from the evil camp can still maintain a good cooperative relationship with the lawful and good Three Saints Alliance.
Sazastan absolutely believed that if the young man in front of him wanted to become a god today, he would be able to get his wish in a few days or even a few hours, instead of asking for it but not getting it like himself.
After secretly sighing at the gods' preference for Zuo Si, he raised his head this time and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
"It's very simple!
< br>
I hope you can help Fuzoul Chamberry at a critical moment.
Let him wipe out the last resistance forces in the entire West Heartland region as soon as possible and clean up all the original ruling classes in the region.
In return, I will inform you as soon as I find out what is hidden inside Sancho.
As for the rest, we can complete it through transactions at that time.
If I remember correctly, you Sel red-robed wizards should have many precious artifacts in your hands.
For example, there are two famous artifacts from the Netheril era [Death Moon Orb] and [Sakothil's Seat].
Although the value of the artifact is high, it is obviously insignificant compared to truly becoming a god.
What do you think? ”
As the last word blurted out, an inscrutable smile appeared on Zuo Si’s face, and he stood up and left.
Looking at his retreating back, Sazastan The shriveled eyeballs glowed with bright spots, showing the owner's inner unrest.
Because both the [Death Moon Orb] and [Sakoshiel's Seat] are top secrets.
Not to mention outsiders, even few people within the Red Robe Mage know about it.
The [Death Moon Orb] is a gift from Larok, the wizard king of the Netherese era who lives in seclusion in the mountains north of the Wan Ting River. Basically all those who know about it have already Silenced.
Sazastan had no idea where Zuo Si got this information.
Could it be said to come from the God of Knowledge or the Goddess of Magic?
"Damn!
I hate this feeling of being led by others!
This is why I hate and hate those chosen by the goddess of magic in Elminster.
< br>They are able to get help from the gods, and in many cases it is like cheating.”
The lich couldn’t help but complain in a low voice, and quickly used teleportation magic to disappear.
There is no doubt that for mages of the same level, whoever can master more information will gain the opportunity and advantage in games and even battles.
In this regard, it can be said that the red-robed mages of Sayre suffered a lot when they went against the chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic.
Not to mention that Zuo Si is also a time traveler who holds countless secrets about this world.
If possible, Sazhastan would never want to make a deal with such an unpredictable guy.
But unfortunately, the choice is not in his hands.
Ever since he learned that Velsalun's plan was to become a god, Sazastan had no choice but to find ways to destroy it.
Otherwise, given the hundreds of years of grudge between the two, if the former became a god, it would definitely not make things easier for the latter.
As one of the few legendary lichs who know the huge gap between gods and mortals, Sazastan does not feel that he can compete head-on with a god with the ability to break stars.
So even if you can't become a god, you must at least prevent Vesalun from becoming a god.
With this idea in mind, he immediately began to mobilize the forces under his control to take action after returning to Sale.
After the other hostile red-robed chiefs noticed it, they also became nervous...
