Chapter 468 The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Without using various trump cards and artifacts, as two legends who both have a large number of spell slots and the means to restore spell slots The duel between the mage, Zuo Si and Larok is obviously a tug-of-war.
Especially under the influence of the magical knowledge recorded in Netheril scrolls, they can instantly identify the spells being cast by the opponent through the fluctuations of the magic network, and can even predict in advance.
If the spells memorized and the tactics used were not slightly different, they would seem to be mirror images of each other, and even the understanding of arcane magic would be the same.
The reason is very simple!
The foundation of Netheril's magical civilization is derived from the creator race - a special organization "Betis" among the Saruk witches. By observing the original power of the magic network in the world of Toril and constantly trying, we finally concluded The objective laws that emerged were compiled into "The Skin of the World Serpent", which later became the famous Netheril Scroll.
Although some unofficial historians say that all this is related to a mysterious race called the "Spellweaver Empire".
Even the ancient god of death, Jaeger, is one of them and the mastermind behind it.
Including the subsequent demise of the creator race and the destruction of Netheril civilization are closely related to it.
But there is currently no substantial evidence to prove this.
After all, the history of the birth of civilization in Faerûn is too long, and it may not be possible to trace it back for tens of thousands of years.
There are so many rumors, hearsay, and confusing and contradictory records.
Even the gods that can be identified today may be fake, and are scams created by monsters such as devils, demons, and beholders.
The most classic among them is the god of cruel officials - Gargas.
He was once regarded as a demigod with weak divine power. He was the lord of the tenth level of Baator Hell and could bestow complete divine spells on priests.
But after a series of conspiracies were exposed, people were surprised to find that this was actually just a big devil who was exiled or self-exiled, and was most likely the conspiracy of Asmodeus, the Lord of Hell.
And most of the known records about the truth and history of this world and even the universe are from the perspective of mortals.
The biggest characteristic of mortals is their own narrow-mindedness. They are unable to understand things that are too abstract and complex. At the same time, they often bring in strong subjective consciousness, causing the recorded content to be very different from the truth.
No matter how many conspiracy theories and outrageous rumors there are behind the Netheril Scrolls, they cannot hide that it is the most mainstream magical theoretical basis in Faerûn today.
It can even be said that in addition to the Imasca Magic Empire in the far east, which has been extinct for a long time and has not left many traces at all, there are also the unique magic rituals brought by the elves from other worlds. This set The contents of the fifty golden scrolls are the only way arcane spellcasters can gain power through learning.
As for the transformation from the arcanists of the Netheril era to today's spellcasting mode, the essence is not that the basic theory has changed or been overturned, but that the second generation of magic goddess has closed the deep magic network, which has led to version iterations.
In order to adapt to the changes in the environment, arcane spellcasters finally came up with a more efficient way to utilize the energy of the magic network through in-depth research.
Whether it is Ovo, Larok, or Iolum, they have transformed their original arcanist profession into the current mage profession, retaining only a very small part of the arcanist level and Occupational characteristics.
This means that whoever reads and understands the contents of the Netheril scrolls will be closer to the essence of the magic network and magic in the world of Toril.
Be able to see through the appearance of all kinds of strange spell effects to see the principles behind them, and then find the weak points in the spell structure to destroy and counterattack.
The most powerful masters can reflect the spell being released in an instant, turning the protective spell originally acting on the opponent into offensive magic.
In this regard, the special ability [Glorious Destruction] in the advanced profession [Rainbow Apprentice] obtained by Zuo Si is one of the best.
This ability can use a simple casting action to draw the energy of the magic network to change the support structure of the target's protective magic, changing its characteristics from protection to attack.
Every time the protective magic is dispelled, the energy that maintains the original existence will be converted into an iridescent wall effect, causing huge damage to the target.
The more protective magic the opponent has and the more times it is dispelled, the greater the damage caused.
From the red flame attribute to the orange strong acid attribute, to yellow lightning, green poison, blue petrification, indigo chaos, purple spell disintegration effect and random inter-dimensional teleportation, there are seven completely different colors. The troublesome and changeable characteristics of the rainbow series of color spells are vividly displayed.
And [Iridescent Apprentice] can instantly create walls of different colors.
On the one hand, it prevents enemies or their summoned creatures from approaching;
On the other hand, it can also resist the attacks of several types of spells.
The form of the wall is not fixed as many people imagine, but can become a wall that continues to grow taller and longer as the level of [Rainbow Apprentice] increases, or a wall that changes the caster himself Or a sphere surrounded by surrounding creatures.
It can be said that it has achieved a true integration of offense and defense.
The King of Arcane's [Recall Spell] ability can instantly restore any used spell slot and memorized arcane magic.
Note that it is "arbitrary"!
This means that even sixteenth and seventeenth level spell slots beyond the ninth level can be restored through a standard spell casting action and released to give the enemy a huge surprise when needed.
At this moment, as the spell duel between Zuo Si and Larocque entered a fever pitch, the area around the two people had turned into a gorgeous scene of arcane aura and iridescence intertwined.
Sometimes it can even make people unable to open their eyes, causing an inexplicable dizziness.
According to modern people’s point of view, this is properly classified as light pollution.
In particular, the iridescent protective wall that appears and disappears instantly is far more exaggerated and brighter than any neon lights on the streets of a modern metropolis at night, and there is no limit to the number of times it can be used.
As long as one protective wall is destroyed, Zuo Si can immediately release another one to constantly compete with the opponent.
So far, neither he nor Larocque have used magic storage items. At most, they have only used some methods such as wishing to restore the consumed spell slots. What is more of a competition is their own ability to store spells. Knowledge, understanding, use and combat experience of arcane magic.
This is not so much a spell duel as it is a process of getting to know each other in depth.
Because language and attitude can be disguised, but a person's spell-casting habits, memorized spell types, and tactics used can never be deceived.
Just as Zuo Si longed to understand what was going on in the mind of the wizard king of the Netherese era, why he was so persistent in resurrecting the first-generation magic goddess Mythril.
Laloc also wants to understand what Zuo Si, a young man who is a planeswalker and a third-generation magic goddess, Midnight Chosen, plans to do in the world of Toril, and what is the real intention behind a series of actions.
In contrast, Elminster's purpose is very simple and clear, which is to force Sazastan to hand over the Eye of the Storm in his hand and crush his ambition to become a god.
As the founder of the Dragon Cult, Sammaster, and his Dragon Liches were blown up into ashes flying in the sky by [Sunfire Explosion], the great sage of the Valley of Shadows obviously no longer planned to wait any longer, and It was a straightforward choice to take action.
Because in his opinion, both he and Xinbu can steadily suppress Sazastan and Irenicas in a one-on-one battle, even after paying a certain price. Get rid of the opponent quickly.
As for the Lich Apprentices brought by Larok, the other voters and the senior leaders of the Harper Alliance can completely hold them back first, and then join forces to defeat and kill them after they succeed.
No way, most arcane spellcasters are so helpless in the face of silver fire and the goddess of magic who have a lot of immunity.
Only the supernatural vision that detects magic can determine the approximate effect of an item or a spell from the arcane aura emitted by it.
Not to mention the disgusting method of putting an anti-magic force field on one's face, and then directly using silver fire to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes.
In addition, the combat power of the Cursed Fire Queen Sandra Hisel cannot be underestimated. When dealing with pure spellcasters, she can usually exert destructive power far beyond anyone's imagination.
"Sazastan! Hand over that eye! I don't want to say it a second time!"
After using the power of silver fire to shatter one of the hands of the chief of the red-robed necromantic system Finally, Elminster puffed out a puff of white smoke from his mouth with his beloved pipe in his mouth, blocking out some extremely small unknown creatures.
There is no doubt that this seemingly inconspicuous gadget is actually a very powerful magic item.
The additional value brought by its ultra-high enchantment level even reaches more than 400,000 gold coins.
This pipe can not only be lit or extinguished with a command, but the smoke it emits can also prevent the ultra-small enemies from getting close to it, and at the same time reflect all missile spells back.
In addition, this pipe can also produce fire, pyrotechnics, summons, random door, silent phantom, protection from arrows, underwater breathing and other effects.
Anyone who knows something about Elminster will never ignore the advantages that this pipe can bring in battle.
"You are dreaming! Unless I die, no one can take the Eye of the Storm away from me."
With a gloomy expression on his face, Sazastan instantly released a ball of negative energy to repair his shattered left hand.
There is no doubt that, although he had made a lot of preparations before this to fight against the chosen people of the Magic Goddess, especially Elminster and Xinbu.
But it was only when we started fighting that we realized how terrible these guys were at suppressing ordinary spellcasters.
Elminster, in particular, is actually immune to [Eternal Stasis] and other attacks that may cause similar effects.
The effect of this spell is very similar to the Nine Rings' [Time Stop], but the effect is achieved through touch, and the duration is permanent.
It can only be eliminated by [Freedom], which cancels the effect of [Imprisonment], as well as wish and miracle.
This also means that you cannot use time stop in front of this white-haired old man, otherwise you will be chased and chopped by him with his sword.
"Oh - you are so stubborn. Haven't you realized that you were fooled from the beginning in this matter?"
Elminster Sighed slightly.
Sazastan sneered and retorted: "So what? At least these eyes are not fake, and the opportunity for mortals to become gods is also real."
"So you are planning to kill people for money and birds for food?"
Elminster's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
Don't think that this old man who looks friendly and kind on the outside is a soft-hearted person.
Just the opposite!
In the course of a thousand years, the number of named enemies who died directly at his hands ranged from one thousand to eight hundred, and the number of unnamed monsters and cannon fodder was even greater.
However, as age continues to increase, especially the aging of his mental age, he has become like many old people, extremely conservative and loves to immerse himself in past memories.
Rather than doing it himself, Elminster is now more willing to issue tasks to encourage young adventurers to complete the task of preventing the expansion of evil forces on his behalf.
But when he gets serious, he is still one of the most powerful mages in the world.
Among them, the experience of sealing part of the divine power of the fallen second-generation magic goddess in the body during the turbulent years has long transcended the limitations of spellcasting levels in the ordinary sense, and can mobilize and use the core and most essential power of the magic network. Strength to attack the enemy and protect yourself.
Although there are many legendary mages in the entire continent of Faerûn, there are only a few who can surpass the limit of their own spellcasting level.
And this is precisely the sign of becoming the top powerhouse.
Ralok did it, Iolum did it, and Elminster's teacher - Silinsi also did it, created heavy magic and led to Netheril Karsus, the culprit of the destruction, also managed to do so.
Finally, adding Elminster himself, there are only five known ones now.
Even the Grand Arcanist Ovo, the Lord of the Ghost City Telamant Tanshur, and the Undead Emperor Shane VII, these legendary mages who are amazing in both age and spellcasting level have not yet Enter this echelon.
Of course, there are also some people who are suspected of reaching this field, but they have either died or disappeared thousands of years ago.
For example, the Saruk witch Lich, Earth Prophet Arthindor, who played a crucial role in the rise and destruction of Netheril civilization, and the Imaskar Empire who led the Empire to fight against foreign gods, and finally brought down the The originally fertile land turned into the king of magicians in the desert.
Once you come into contact with the core of magical power, it means you can get rid of the constraints of rules and spell slots, and exert a power that is many times or even dozens of times higher than your own spellcasting level.
As for Lagon, Sazastan and Sammaster, they are still far behind.
They are not even as good as Irenicas, who has begun to absorb divine power and divinity, and plans to become a god with his own strength.
At least this person knows a lot about the rituals and the creation of mythical locks in the elves' unique magic system. He also has a unique understanding of divine power and divinity, and can transform it into his own power.
"Whatever you say. Kill me if you can!"
Sazastan put on a posture like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, suddenly waved his hand and used a super nine-level spell slot to release an instant Energy absorption.
But unfortunately, this blow was directly absorbed by the silver fire and had no impact at all.
In other words, the final result of most of the offensive spells he releases is like this.
On the contrary, Elminster's silver fire attack has no targeted spells or energy protection at all, so it can only rely on the Lich's undead physique to survive, and then use negative energy magic to recover. .
As for legendary spells...
Sorry, let’s not mention that Elminster himself has very good counter-spell control skills. The long preparation time alone is enough to make Sazastan fall to the silver fire. It was blasted to pieces several times.
If Larocque hadn't been there, he would have wanted to activate the teleportation magic and run away.
“That’s what you said.”
As the last word blurted out, Elminster instantly fully aroused the silver fire in his body and shot it out in all directions at a speed that could not be described in words. diffusion.
After a Lich apprentice of Larok was accidentally contaminated, the entire body frame was quickly shattered and disintegrated at a speed that was indistinguishable to the naked eye. No matter what kind of spells were used to remove it, it had no effect.
In less than three to five seconds, he turned into a pile of black broken bones.
You don’t need to ask to know that this is the unreasonable and terrifying power of Silver Fire, and it is also proof of the powerful power of the goddess of magic.
The more it relies on magical power, the higher the degree of restraint Silver Fire has on it.
After all, the goddess of magic is the Magic Network itself. A group of arcane spellcasters who rely on the Magic Network to make a living still want to overturn the world?
Go ahead and dream!
Realizing that Elminster had made up his mind to kill him, Sazastan also became ruthless and took out the Eye of the Storm and began to lift the seal on it.
In the blink of an eye, the originally clear and calm blue sky turned dark. A dark cloud of unknown thickness gathered at an unimaginable speed, covering dozens of kilometers in radius. in it.
Boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
Along with the deafening loud noise, thick and dazzling electric lights began to brew in the clouds. The moment that was enough to make people feel desperate and suffocating made other people who were still fighting to stop involuntarily.
Especially among the dark clouds, a pair of eyes full of desire for destruction can be seen looming.
There is no doubt that that is the gaze from Talos, the God of Storms.
Although he neither came to incarnate nor chose to intervene, but only cast a line of sight in his own country, he still caused unimaginable psychological pressure on all mortals.
Because the power of gods is absolute and overwhelming.
As long as Talos is willing, he can randomly drop a few divine lightnings or a divine storm, and he can kill everyone except Zuosi, Larok, Elminster, Xinbu and Irenikas in a matter of minutes. Everyone else outside was blasted to pieces.
"Do you want to destroy Serge?"
Looking at the dark clouds and storms gathering above his head, as well as the terrifying eyes that were releasing the aura of destruction, Elminster couldn't help but become nervous.
Although he didn't quite believe that Sazastan would be so crazy as to destroy the country he ruled with his own hands, he didn't dare to gamble at all.
Especially the destructive power of the Eye of the Storm, which is completely unmatched by any known legendary magic or super-nine-level spells.
“Of course I don’t want to destroy Serge!
But the problem is you keep pushing me!
If I can't get this eye, no one can get it.
Now I order you to retreat!
Otherwise the storm that destroys everything will swallow everyone! ”
Sazastan’s tone was unabashedly cruel and crazy.
As a guy who can make up his mind to surrender to Bane, the god of tyranny at a critical moment, and crazily transform the undead and turn living people into rare animals in the brutal civil war.
Although he usually gives people a sense of rationality and elegance, he never lacks the courage to put all his money on the line.
I would rather destroy what I can’t get than let the enemy get it!
This is Sazastan's life creed, and it is also the code of conduct he has always implemented.
There is no doubt that Elminster does not dare to attack now.
Because as long as the silver fire touches the eye in Sazastan's hand, he will become the executioner who massacres millions of civilians in Ser.
On the other side, Zuo Si, who was having a spell duel with Larok, was obviously aware of this situation. He immediately pursed his lips and commented with a smile: "He is truly a representative of evil neutrality, and he solved it without hesitation. Open the seal and use the lives of his country's citizens as a bargaining chip. "Extreme selfishness is one of Sazastan's many advantages.
Otherwise, he would not be able to survive in a country with many geniuses.
You must know that among the many mages who broke into the Tomb of the Warlock, Sazastan was not the most talented, nor was he the one with the highest level of spellcasting.
But he is the only one who has overcome many crises and traps and appeared in front of me.
Especially the fact that he did not hesitate to sacrifice his companions, even his best friends, in several key choices, I am still impressed to this day.
Because this is also a reflection of calmness, rationality and intelligence, that's why I chose to cooperate with him. "
While saying these words, Larok also stopped casting spells and stared with interest at the chief of the necromancy department holding the Eye of the Storm. He was not at all affected by the terrifying storm formed above his head, and the force that came from Feeling nervous under Talos's gaze.
"You want Sazastan to become a new god related to the realm of magic? "Zuo Si tried in an uncertain tone.
Larocque chuckled and asked: "Haha, why not?
Don't you think that today's magic goddess is too decent, or tends to be kind and lawful?
As the embodiment and manager of the magic network, the goddess of magic should be neutral, chaotic and full of contradictions
If a new god who is inclined to evil, especially necromancy magic, appears, then she must be. Will be affected and even actively lean towards evil, or even awaken the memory of the first-generation magic goddess hidden deep in the magic network.
You have not experienced the era of Netheril;
I have never felt the unfettered freedom before the deep magic net was closed;
I have never seen the person who is both profound and frivolous, steady and wild, whose thoughts and emotions are changing every moment, Mythril's speech and behavior are full of innocence and purity without a trace of pollution, and her whole body exudes colorful light.
That is what the true incarnation of the Demonic Network should look like, the great mother of magic that embraces all camps, good or evil, and the dream lover of all arcane casters.
If I guess correctly, the ultimate goal of your series of actions on the west coast is to establish a unified and powerful country, and then build a new civilization based on magic research. Right?
Then you should not get involved with guys like Elminster.
Because although he is very powerful with the blessing of silver fire, he lacks the most basic belief of an excellent mage, which is the endless thirst for knowledge and power.
For thousands of years, he wasted much more time meddling in his own business than studying and researching magical power. ”
When he mentioned the first generation of magic goddess Mythril, the most powerful spellcaster in the Netherese era spoke with respect and admiration, as well as a trace of unnoticeable admiration. .
Whether it is the gentle tone or the words used to describe it, it seems that he is describing his lover, not the second most powerful goddess in the country after the god Io. < br>
“To tell you the truth, I don’t really like Elminster, and I am currently in a hostile relationship with him and the Harper Alliance he founded. ”
Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be casual and shrugged his shoulders.
If possible, he really hoped that Larocque, who was only a skeleton, could grow a body of flesh, at least so that he could clearly see the expression and demeanor on the other person's face at this moment.
Obviously, Larok has extraordinary feelings for the first-generation magic goddess Mythril.
But does this feeling come from his nostalgia for the unrestricted magic network in the era of Netheril, or his recognition of the goddess herself and her teachings, or does it really happen between the two? There is no way to know what happened.
It is estimated that apart from the person involved, only Iolum, who was of the same era as Larocque, knew something about it.
"Then why do you want to help Elminster?
Is it just because of the identity of the elector and the benefits it can bring?
Believe me, the Silver Fire is powerful and can make Countless arcane spellcasters are helpless, but there are forces in this world that can compete with them.
If you are willing to cooperate with me, I can give you much more than this."
< br>The two points of cold light in the Wizard King's eyes suddenly surged.
"The reason for helping Elminster is to fulfill my responsibility as a chosen one.
The current goddess of magic provided me with a lot of help when I was still weak, so I think I have an obligation to do so after I become stronger. Give something back.
What's more, she is also a member of the powerful gods. Maintaining a close ally with her can give you a solid backing when you conflict with other gods.
If you. The purpose is to kill or replace the current goddess of magic. Sorry, I must be your enemy.
But if you achieve Mythril's rebirth through induction and subtle influence, then I will naturally. I won’t mind my own business.”
Zuo Si expressed his position very clearly.
As a planeswalker, whether it is Midnight or Mythril who is in charge of Toril's magic network, it will not have much impact on him.
Because she can bring back a large amount of magical knowledge from other time and space, the goddess of magic must be an ally rather than an enemy.
But in terms of personal emotions, Zuo Si still prefers Midnight to Mysriel, who he has never been in contact with.
After all, the former are already familiar with each other after such a long period of contact, and if they suddenly change, they will need to adapt again.
Most importantly, killing and replacing existing magic goddesses will cause the magic network to collapse, causing unimaginable disasters.
But if Mythril is resurrected in Midnight's body, the first generation of magic goddess inherits all the memories, cognitions and emotions of the three generations, or she is separated from the latter's divine spark and reincarnated. A new god, that's another story.
This extremely special situation only happened once between Lathander, the future Lord of the Dawn, and Amaunata, the ancient sun god.
“Okay, I think I understand what you mean.
Now, you’d better deal with Sazastan and the Eye of the Storm in his hand.
< br>
Otherwise, if the divine power inside is really fully released, the entire Seer will be destroyed in endless storms and natural disasters.
Another magical kingdom has been destroyed. This is not what I want to see.
As for this spell duel, let’s just say you win. ”
Having said that, Larocque took the opportunity to admit defeat.
Because in his opinion, the meaning of this spell duel is actually to compare spellcasting skills according to tradition. For real The actual combat did not have much effect at all, and neither side used their trump cards.
Compared to the ability to cast spells within the rules, the King of Wizards is more interested in the power outside the rules.
For example, for example, sixteen [Sunfire Explosions] with the blessing of countless super demons were released in an instant, or for example, the Chaos Dog Demon Kozif was lying on the side without moving from beginning to end. There are also silver fire and divine impact scepters that have not been used at all.
This is the power that can make the final decision in a competition between top spellcasters.
As for a mere spell duel, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses.
After all, Larocque has long passed the age of being competitive.
The next second...
The [War Chain] that closely connected the two people made a crisp sound and returned to Zuo Si's hand in an instant.
Just as the latter was about to put away this artifact and deal with the Eye of the Storm, a figure shrouded in black robes suddenly appeared out of thin air behind Sazastan.
The visitor didn't give him any chance to react. He started with the instant Nine Rings [Time Stop], and then reached out to grab the Eye of the Storm.
But this guy obviously ignored that voters with the goddess of magic present were immune to this spell.
"Don't even think about it!"
Elminster rushed forward decisively, waving the sword in his hand to force this guy of unknown origin back.
It is a pity that the opponent did not pay attention to the Thunder Sword with an enchantment level of +5, and allowed it to be inserted into his body. He held the Eye of the Storm in his hand and directly activated the teleportation magic and disappeared without a trace. No trace.
The whole process lasted less than half a second, and the thing that made countless mortals crazy just changed hands.
Looking at the empty scene in front of him and the long sword that was so clean that there was no drop of blood on it, Elminster seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
After the time-stop effect ended, Sazastan came back to his senses, looked at his empty palms, and roared like crazy: "Where is my Eye of the Storm? Who! Who stole it!" < br>
But unfortunately, no one answered this question.
Just when Elminster opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly discovered that Zuo Si, who had been standing with Larocque just now, had disappeared.
Without the Eye of God, the black clouds and destructive storm surrounding the head quickly dissipated, revealing a clear sky once again.
It’s just that most people have no intention of paying attention to such trivial things.
...
At the same time, far away in the city of Jindelank at the easternmost point of Faerûn, Velshalon was holding up the Eye of the Storm in his hand and letting out a harsh laugh.
"Hahahahaha! Dear Sazastan, Elminster, and Xinbu, you probably didn't expect that I was the one who finally won the qualification to become a god."
Very much. Obviously, since the last time he failed to compete for the Eye of God and was defeated by the Storm Queen and completed his rebirth, this guy has been hiding in the dark and observing silently, making everyone think that he has withdrawn from the competition.
When Sazastan unlocked the seal and focused all his attention on Elminster, Vesalun decisively launched a sneak attack, and in the blink of an eye he got the treasure he had dreamed of.
As the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind.
He knows very well that one or two failures are nothing at all, and the one who laughs to the end is the real winner.
Nothing in the world can make people feel more excited, excited and joyful than regaining something lost.
Although it is difficult for the lich itself, as an undead creature, to have strong emotions, Velsalun still seemed to be dancing a little at this moment, and he did not even pay attention to the hole that was poked in his body.
This is also the reason why there is no blood stain on the Thunder Sword.
What Elminster stabbed was not a living person at all, but a lich that had no blood in its body and was driven entirely by negative energy.
"Congratulations, great master! You will be promoted to become a god soon!"
A follower crawled on the ground and cheered loudly.
Not only him, but those lucky ones who did not die in the previous melee were all kneeling on the ground and shaking with excitement.
Because soon, they will witness the birth of a new god.
And this god will also become their faith and master, granting them knowledge and strength.
"Get up! Go and prepare for the ceremony! I will never forget your contribution after I successfully become a god!"
Maybe it is because of the relationship that Wei is in a very good mood, and Wei Wei, who has always been mean and cold, It was rare for Sharon to show that she wanted to reward all her men.
Of course, it is also possible that he deliberately wrote a bad check in order to deceive these guys into working hard and dedicating his last strength to himself.
“As you wish, supreme master, your will is our mission.”
Accompanied by deafening cheers and disgusting flattery, the remaining thirty followers soon rushed to the secret stronghold outside the city and set up a magic circle in the cave that had a patio dug out.
Vesalun was personally responsible for supervising and inspecting to ensure that there was no omission in the entire process.
Otherwise, God knows what kind of accidents will happen during the promotion process.
But what he didn't notice was that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness that was observing all of this closely, memorizing all the symbols and lines on the ground that contained amazing power.
“Interesting! Is this the method of becoming a god deliberately left behind by the God of Storms a long time ago?
Why have I never seen these runes before?
Did Talos himself invent it?
Or is it something that specifically responds to divine power? ”
Zuo Si rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, while constantly reading the thoughts and memories of these followers through mind spells, trying to find the answer.
But it is a pity. , there is no way that Yivisalun can tell his subordinates such important knowledge.
And he himself is a lich, completely immune to all charm and mind control spells.
So if Zuo Sisi wants to figure out the function of these runes, he must let the ceremony of conferring gods begin.
It was for this reason that he did not immediately take back the Eye of the Storm from Velshalon, but planned to see what the other party was going to do.
Anyway, with the divine power and divinity contained in the Eye of the Storm, even if the opponent succeeds in becoming a god, he is only a demigod with weak divine power. It is not certain whether he can obtain the priesthood immediately.
Zuo Sidu didn't need to take action himself, he could just close the door and let Koziv go, and he would be able to bite the opponent to the point of being confused.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously reached out and touched the dog that had been following him and kept the appearance of a border collie.
The latter rubbed the back of his master's hand fawningly like a real dog.
Obviously, the reason why Zuo Si was able to accurately track Veshalon, who used a lot of shielding tracking and detection magic, was thanks to Kozev's ability to lock in specific souls.
To be precise, it can smell the residual emotional breath in the soul, even if these breaths have passed hundreds or even thousands of years.
And the more severe the target's mood swings, the clearer and easier it is to track.
Unfortunately, Velshalon's indescribable ecstasy, excitement, and excitement after taking away the Eye of the Storm were as dazzling as a beacon in the darkness in Kozev's olfactory tracking.
It effortlessly follows the emotional resonance and comes to you.
Not only that!
This guy also found Velsharon's phylactery in another house in Jindelank City.
But considering that this thing is very likely to be used in the ceremony of conferring gods, Zuo Si did not move for the time being.
After all, what is sealed in the phylactery is the life essence of the lich, that is, the soul.
If you want to transform a mortal into a god, the most important thing is to sublimate the soul into divinity and finally ignite the spark.
It turns out that Zuo Si’s guess was correct.
After completing all the preparations, Vesharon personally took his phylactery and stood in the center of the huge magic circle.
At this moment, the thick rock above the cave has been cut open by magic, and you can directly see the starry sky at night outside.
I saw him calm down his restless heart for a while, and then inserted the phylactery directly into the eye of the storm.
The next second...
Click - click - click -
Dense cracks like spider webs immediately appeared on the surface of the originally exquisite phylactery.
If it were any other lich, they would definitely be shocked by now.
Because the rupture of the phylactery means death is coming.
Kevisharon not only did not show any nervousness, but was impatient to let the destructive power in the eye of the storm break the phylactery.
When the phylactery was completely shattered, a white energy poured into his body instantly, mixed with manic divine power and spurted out from his eyes, nostrils, and mouth.
