Chapter 558: Sigil City (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Sigil City is also known as the "City of Ten Thousand Gates" and the "Cage City".
It is located in a place called "Outer Domain", which is closely connected to all other outer planes and is an infinitely vast disk-shaped space.
In the center of this plane stands a cylindrical peak of unknown height, known as the "Wuji Peak", and the top of the peak is the famous Sigil City.
The biggest feature here is that the closer you are to the central "Wuji Peak", the more powerful interference, obstruction or even complete prohibition of magic and divine power you will receive.
Especially within a radius of 160 kilometers, all divine power and magic will be completely ineffective due to the intervention of plane power.
In other words, within this area, even if a powerful divine power comes in person, all the divine power will be removed and become the same as ordinary people, and the legendary casters can only pick up the guy and fight melee.
Out of this core area, every time it extends one hundred and sixty kilometers, the restrictions on magic and divine power will be slightly weakened.
At a radius of three hundred and twenty kilometers, the powerful divine power can restore part of the strength, and the caster can barely cast a spell, although there will still be a very high chance of failure due to obstacles.
Due to its extreme rejection of divine power, the outer realm is really not a good place for the gods.
Because once they come here, they will be exposed to huge dangers.
It is even possible to be killed by demons, demons, yugoloths, or even mortals.
Similarly, spellcasters don't like Outland very much.
Because they were unable to display their original strength at all, and instead were reduced to rolling up their sleeves and fighting hand-to-hand like the most despised warriors.
But fortunately, due to unknown reasons, Sigil City may be due to the existence of the Lady of Pain, or it may be because it has too many portals connecting to other planes, so all magic can be used normally here.
But once they leave the walls of Sigil, the high-level spellcasters will lose the powerful power they are proud of.
Many savvy assassins, warriors, monks, and rangers will cleverly use this to deal with enemy spellcasters.
Smart spellcasters will also try to avoid getting close to the edge of the city wall to avoid being plotted by enemies with ulterior motives.
But unlike magic, gods, whether they are incarnations, saints, or true beings, are still strictly prohibited from approaching.
Otherwise, those unlucky ones in the history of Sigil whose bodies were cut into pieces by the Lady of Pain and thrown into the star realm in public are the best examples.
This powerful being who has existed since the birth of Sigil and protected it from the influence of gods has never conducted any form of communication, nor has there been any negotiation, warning, or any understandable action language.
She is like a machine that obeys certain rules of action, ruthlessly destroying all targets that attract her "attention".
Whether the target is a mortal or a god, it makes no essential difference to the Lady of Pain.
In addition, the number of lucky people who have escaped from her so far can be counted on two hands.
Vecna, the hidden god of the world of Greyhawk, is one of them.
As the "Queen of the Underworld" who controls the underground world and the vast intelligence network of Sigil, the high-level yugoloth demon Shemishaka undoubtedly knows very well that one of the rules that must be followed in order to live here is to never cause pain. Attention ladies.
Otherwise, it doesn’t matter which powerful god you are or even the chosen one of the gods above, or whether you are the messenger representing Asmodeus, the Lord of Baator Hell, and the supreme will of the Abyss, the final result will be the same. It is inevitable to die.
Maybe even the soul will be shattered by the lady's sharp blade and disappear from this universe forever.
This is why, only in Sigil can you see demons and devils who should be fighting to death sitting together drinking and chatting, and celestial beings doing various things with their most hated yugoloths. Such a transaction.
It’s not that they don’t want to strangle their enemies immediately, but they are simply afraid of Lady Pain’s unexplainable and unrivaled terrifying power.
At this moment, Shemishaka was standing in front of a mirror, admiring her appearance that was far superior to her peers.
It is completely different from the ordinary yugoloth demon whose head looks a bit like a dirty and dirty jackal. Her head looks closer to a beautiful and charming fox. Her spotless golden hair is soft and neat. Thin white stripes extend from the end of the long, pointed bill to the corners of the mouth.
The body completely shows the appearance of a sexy human woman. She always wears a tight robe with a tube top on the upper body and a long skirt on the lower body, perfectly showing off her convex and curvy figure.
However, the hands and feet are still shaped between fingers and claws.
And this guy, like Zuo Si, has colorful rings on his fingers.
To be precise, it's more exaggerated.
Because Zuo Si only wore one on each finger, Keshemisaka often wore one on each finger, and occasionally two or three on one finger, which looked full of jewels.
A wretched-looking tiefling was holding a mirror with both hands, putting on a humble and flattering look, asking for favors from his mistress.
There was also a group of tiefling followers nearby who were eager to rush forward and kneel down to lick the mistress's toes in place of this favored guy.
Because Shemisaka is to a certain extent the "Underground Queen" of Sigil, the most powerful ruler second only to the Lady of Pain.
Whether it is the fifteen major factions or the various industries that maintain the functioning of society, her shadow can be vaguely seen behind them.
There are even rumors that a quarter of the gold coins circulating in the city ended up in the pocket of this cunning, cunning and extremely fickle high-level yugoloth demon.
No one knows what the truth is.
After all, Shemishakar never trusts anyone, let alone allows anyone to pry into his important privacy.
Even these loyal followers who are selected can usually only work for about six months.
Among them, those who perform well will be put in charge of the "business" of a certain area, while those who perform poorly will be brutally eliminated and die.
With his superb trading skills and his understanding of the extremely complex and interlocking factional struggles within Sigil, Shemisaka has truly become a unique and powerful force relying on intelligence.
Whether those factions like her or not, they must rely on the information she provides to maintain a delicate balance with other factions.
The thrill and excitement of dancing on the blade gave this female yugoloth an addictive feeling that cannot be described in words.
After all, each of the fifteen major factions in Sigil has the power to kill them.
But now she is still alive and well, and the wealth, resources and power she controls are constantly expanding.
So Shemisaka has reason to believe that he has become some kind of deep-seated operating law of the city and has become an indispensable part of the structure.
Thinking of this, the corners of her fox-like mouth slightly raised with a proud smile. She stared at her own reflection in the mirror and asked: "Kurkuk, Panta, the president of the Doomsday Guard Order, Have you delivered the money you owe me?
Last time he promised to pay fifteen hundred soul prisms or gold coins of equivalent value as long as he could get the latest patrol route of the Harmony Society.
This is a big deal
I also hope to use this money to purchase some alchemical potions that can make people feel ecstatic from the devils in the ninth level of hell, and sell them in various taverns, casinos and special service places in Sigil City.
You have no idea how popular these addictive things are right now.
Once many people use them, they can no longer leave them, and are even willing to sell everything for it, even their own souls. "
The tiefling, holding the mirror, responded quickly: "The money has already been received, madam.
However, President Panta played a little trick and deliberately paid only half of the soul prism and the other half in gold coins.
When dealing with the devil on the ninth level of hell, the purchasing power of the soul prism is 20% higher than that of gold coins.
So we made almost 10% less profit on this transaction.
In addition, I also heard that due to the influence of the super giant city on the ninth level of hell, the value of the soul prism of the entire Sigil City has increased a lot.
Many merchants are exchanging the precious metal currencies on hand into soul prisms to hoard them for trade with the devil.
This way you can get the most in-demand goods before other competitors.
I thought maybe this was an opportunity to make a profit on the difference.
You can use the intelligence network to spread the word that the devils are preparing to purchase soul prisms on a large scale at a high price, and then sell all the soul prisms on hand when the price rises to the top.
You can definitely make a lot of money this way.
Afterwards, take the initiative to expose this rumor and let the price of the soul prism drop, and then use the profits earned to buy it at a low price.
Finally, he took the soul prism to make a deal with the devil in exchange for the best-selling potions in Sigil City to seize the market and drive out other competitors as much as possible.
Once you completely monopolize the entire industry, you can set the price at will, increasing the original price of the medicine tenfold.
No matter how expensive it is, those addicted guys will do anything to get money to spend, whether it is robbing, cheating, stealing, or killing.
What's more, you can also use this to control them, making them obey your will and die for your great plan. ”
As these words blurted out, the tiefling’s face full of insidiousness, cunning and viciousness slowly appeared from the side of the mirror, matching the pale yellow beast-like eyes of the yugoloth demon. A creepy scene formed.
It is not difficult to see from the conversation between the two that Sigil is definitely an extremely dangerous place that eats people without spitting out bones.
< br>
Here you can clearly feel the conflict between order and chaos, and hear various understandings and explanations of the truth and nature of the universe, as well as all kinds of strange philosophical views, and even speculations about the origins of Sigil itself and the Lady of Pain.
But there is only one thing that is very rare and rare, and that is kindness and justice.
In this regard, we can get a glimpse of this from the fact that among the fifteen major factions in Sigil, the only one that tends towards good is the Harmony Society.
Although those celestial beings and paladins who advocate kindness and justice will also do their best to help those in need.
In terms of numbers, there are demons, demons, yugoloths, tieflings, Cambions, undead creatures, and countless mortals who have fallen into madness and mental illness who are prone to evil and live here. It's too far off.
Shemishaka stretched out her furry paws and gently scratched Kurukuk's cheek with the sharp nails protruding from the flesh pad, leaving a faint blood stain on it, using an expression without any emotion. He said in a tone of voice: "You are getting smarter and smarter, my little follower.
But the question is, have you considered the consequences and costs of doing this?
Do you still remember me? How do you teach you how to survive in Sigil?
Never try to be the first, let alone take the initiative to cause trouble.
Otherwise, let’s not talk about the complicated factional struggles. With some dangerous lunatics who simply cannot be bought, simply attracting the attention of the Lady of Pain could mean death
But you have obviously forgotten this now, and you have begun to act like those ambitious fools and prime material plane guys, trying to rule and dominate Sigil.
Since this is the first time, I forgive you first.
But if there is a second time, then I may have to say goodbye to you. ”
In an instant!
Tifflin, who was holding the mirror, suddenly showed a very frightened expression. He tried his best to control his hands holding the mirror not to tremble, and allowed the blood to flow along the wounds. Dripping slowly
Others around him were also so frightened that they held their breath and did not dare to make even the slightest sound.
Because they know that the majesty and elegance of the hostess are actually a deliberate disguise. In their hearts, they always regard everyone except themselves as maggots who can be stepped on and ravaged. .
If she is really angry, then she will tear off all disguises in the next second and reveal the vicious and cruel nature of the yugoloth.
Many tiefling servants did not see this clearly, and as a result, they accidentally offended their mistress and were torn into pieces on the spot.
Shemisaka obviously enjoys the awe and fear emanating from the depths of his soul.
Just when she was about to use the topic to teach these followers a lesson, a person suddenly ran in from the outside, exuding a stench all over his body, like some kind of zombie that was awakened through necromancy magic, but at the same time had a complete soul and intelligence.
I saw this guy directly passed over the tiefling followers, went straight to the yugoloth demon, and handed over a note with several special symbols printed on it.
Shemisaka just glanced at it and immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to step back.
In less than a few seconds, both the tiefling and the zombie who delivered the message completely disappeared from the room without a trace.
After confirming that the 20-meter area around the room was cleared, she said without looking back: "There are no outsiders here. Come out, Farro."
The words have not yet been spoken!
The slender shadow elf slowly walked out of the darkness, put one hand on his chest and bowed to the yugoloth demon.
“Madam, as per your request, I have followed the Association of Gods and Non-Gods to the Faerûn continent of Toril and obtained a lot of useful information.
However, something went wrong in the process. A little surprise.
Dox's clone may have been exposed and cannot be used again.
In addition, I also found that the Doom Guards Cult has also established a stronghold there, but there has been no major action for the time being. "
"Oh? What about the madman whose god is not a god? How did they end? Shemisaka asked with great interest.
Faro replied without thinking: "It is no different from all the previous plans. The entire manpower sent by the non-god society was directly transferred by the local god church and The rulers worked together to eliminate it, and there was no chance from the beginning to the end. "
"Humph! It was as expected.
These poor guys were not even willing to spend money to buy a piece of information from me before setting off.
Coupled with those extreme thoughts and behaviors, being surrounded and suppressed is almost certain. ”
For this result, Shemishaka was obviously not surprised.
Or if the plan of the gods and non-gods succeeded, that would be something new in Sigil.
After all, they have taken a clear stand and regard the extremely powerful gods as their enemies.
The most important thing is that the non-gods association is too poor. Even the headquarters in the Broken Temple in the lower area is the same. A scene strewn with ruins and rubble that had never been considered for restoration
It is said that it was caused by the Lady of Pain while fighting some invading god of Sigil.
It is natural that Shemisaka would not have any favorable impressions of such a faction that would never spend a lot of money to buy information from him.
After a brief moment of silence, she finally stopped staring at the mirror, turned around and looked at the best ace spy up and down, touched her chin with her furry paws and continued to ask: "Are you going to ask for help this time? In the Faerun continent of Riel, have you met Soth, the lord of the ninth level of hell? What is your first impression? What is the empire he established in the material world like? "
" Regarding this aspect, I have compiled a note containing all the information you are interested in."
As he spoke, Farrow took out dozens of sheets filled with small writing and bound them in his pocket. The paper was handed over together.
Shemisaka took over and scanned the above content at a very fast speed. It took less than a minute to read it all. A look of extreme surprise appeared on his fox-like face: "Are you sure that this big devil is in the material world?" What he did? He doesn't seem evil or cruel, and he doesn't even look like a devil at all, at least not like the devil I know."
"Madam, this Lord Sos has become a great person from a mortal. The devil didn't last long, and he didn't even stay in the ninth level of his rule for most of the time.
So I think he may be very different from the previous and current lords of hell.
But one thing is certain, and that is his increasingly strong tendency towards lawfulness.
If you want to establish a cooperative relationship or strengthen business and trade exchanges, it is best not to go back on your word too much. means.
Otherwise, it is very likely to lead to crazy revenge at any cost.
As far as I know, anyone who has provoked this person, whether they are mortals or gods, will end badly. ”
Farrow made an analysis from a professional perspective.
At this moment, what controls the body is his sixteenth personality that was just separated not long ago, the completely The ace spy who is loyal to the Yugoros demon in front of him
The protagonist who is loyal to Zuo Si is hidden in an unknown corner, silently spying on Shemisaka's reactions and every move.
From now on, the mistress who was once 100% trustworthy has become someone to be wary of.
After all, Shemisaka has planted more than one spy in Farrow among the fifteen major factions, but at least three to five.
And in order to keep the relationship confidential, no one knows the identity of the other.
"Do you think I should cooperate with this interesting big devil?" Shemishaka said with strong uncertainty in his tone.
Because as her trade with the ninth level of hell continues to deepen, she has become aware of the terrifying development speed and huge potential of the huge cyberpunk city, and is eager to join in and get a piece of the pie.
In addition, she also hopes to establish a power of her own in the past and transfer some of Sigil's properties there.
In this way, when she senses that something bad is going on, or starts to arouse Lady Pain's thoughts, she can immediately run away to the ninth level of hell to take refuge.
But the problem is that the laws and operating rules of the huge cyberpunk city are too complicated, which is completely different from the rough management method of Sigil, where the fifteen main factions are each responsible for a share.
Just the series of operations such as elections, voting, advertising, and political donations can make laymen scratch their heads.
So according to Shemisaka's idea, it would be best to make a deal directly with Zuo Si himself, using his power and intelligence network in Sigil City as a bargaining chip in exchange for the official protective umbrella in the ninth-level cyberpunk city.
Of course, this is not allegiance or surrender, just a kind of cooperation.
Unless one day she can no longer survive in Sigil City, she will not hand over her most precious asset.
Farrow is undoubtedly very aware of the thoughts of the yugoloth demon, and responded straightforwardly: "Sorry, madam, I can't give any advice.
This kind of decision can only be made by you. .
If you choose to cooperate, I suggest you talk to Aigsaro in the Brotherhood of Order in Sigil.
As far as I know, he is the permanent person in charge of Sigil City from the ninth level of Baator Hell.
At least 1,500 devils and more than 2,000 guys with purgatory blood obey his orders and dispatches. ”
“Aigsaro? ”
Shemishaka quickly recalled in his mind a tall hell fiend who was always personable and humorous.
Farrow nodded slightly: "Yes. Although he may not be able to make any decisions on behalf of the ninth level, he is certainly qualified to send the news directly to the lords he is loyal to. Maybe he can also arrange a visit to the sixteenth level. A secret meeting in the Bone Cage City in the Gate City."
"Okay, I understand."
Shemisaka seemed to be hesitant, neither giving a positive answer. There was no outright rejection.
But when she mentioned the Bone Cage City among the Sixteen-Gate City, she suddenly thought of the batch of high-quality goods that were about to be transported from Baator Hell.
If everything goes well, this batch of goods will earn him at least ten times more profit.
As for the so-called "Sixteen Gate City", it is about 1,600 kilometers away from the Wuji Peak below Sigil City, surrounded by a small gathering place that is not too large.
Near each gathering place, there are a large number of portals leading to specific outer planes, hence the name "Gate City".
Among them, the portal near Bone Cage City will direct travelers to Baator Hell, Precision City is connected to Paradise Mountain, Carnival City is connected to Elysium, Zoo City is connected to Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, and Forest City is connected to Unrestrained. In the wilderness, Plague City is connected to the Bottomless Abyss...
In short, since the portal in Sigil City is always in an unstable state that may be opened or closed at any time, the caravan usually chooses to go sixteen Gate City travels to a specific plane.
“If you don’t have any other instructions, I will leave first.”
Farrow bowed gracefully and began to slowly retreat into the shadows behind him.
"Wait! How do you think Ternes, the president of the Godless God Association, will react to this failure?"
When the whole body is about to disappear into the shadow and disappear completely , Shemishaka suddenly stopped him.
“President Turns will not have any reaction.
Because he is one of the very few people in this faction who still retains his sanity and has not gone completely crazy. He even believes in himself The goddess of healing, Misha Kai, still has respect.
Of course, this kind of respect only comes from the fact that the latter is a mortal who keeps doing good things.
According to Amber, the leader of the Source Believers Association, Ternes has made contact with a powerful and unknown supreme true god, and has a priest level as high as LV19, which allows him to travel without paying any price. Cast [Miracle Spell] at will under any circumstances.
Now he has become devoid of desires and does not even care how long he can maintain his status as president.
Except for the fierce ideological conflict with Panta, the president of the Doomsday Guard Order and becoming an enemy, there is basically nothing to worry about.
In contrast, I think it is the radical guys in the Godless Society who should pay more attention.
Because this time, they built a powerful magic device and wanted to blow up the entire temple of Askatra. ”
After saying these words, Farrow’s figure completely disappeared into the darkness, as quietly as when he came.
……
At the same time, far away in the ladies area of Sigil City,
The Hell Fiend Aigsaro was drinking one cup after another at the bar of a tavern that specialized in serving devils and creatures with purgatory bloodline. , seems a little depressed and anxious
Because he was sent to Sigil City at the ninth level to be responsible for collecting intelligence and conducting various undercover transactions, and he had been here for quite some time.
It is a pity that he has never been able to open up any situation, even if he can summon an army of three thousand people at any time.
Although there was never any urging or pressure from above, as a self-motivated devil, Aigsaro would never allow himself to become a waste of time.
He also has greater ambitions and goals to achieve, and is eager to climb to a higher position before the power structure of the ninth level is completely stabilized.
Whenever he thinks of this, a fire is burning in the heart of the Hell Fiend.
When this guy raised his cup and drank a large amount of strong liquor that could make a mortal drunk to death, he stood up and was about to try again to contact his subordinates to see what progress he had, when he suddenly saw a man whose whole body was wrapped in magic. The figure in the cloak and hood walked in from the door and sat down on the empty seat next to him.
From the movements and demeanor when walking, and the long legs leaking out from under the cloak, Aigsaro immediately judged that this was a pleasure demon with unfathomable strength, and might even be stronger than himself.
Although the devils in Baator Hell have a strict hierarchy, and each advanced form means higher status, power and strength, it is not completely absolute.
In order to stay in the field they are best at, many powerful devils will actively choose to give up the promotion of changing forms, but continue to accumulate sacred energy and become stronger based on the existing basis.
Usually such devils are important figures under lords at all levels.
Just when the Hell Fiend was wondering which level the other party belonged to and which lord he was loyal to, the Pleasure Demon suddenly pulled back his hood, revealing an extremely beautiful and delicate face and a pair of lavender pupils. He smiled and said hello.
“Long time no see, Aigsaro.
You are really depraved. You have not been able to send back any valuable information for so long.
And You were hiding alone in a place like this and drinking.
You were not like this before. You often tried your best to get a precious opportunity.
It was because of this that I recommended you to become the person in charge of Sigil. "
"You...why are you here! ”
The faint drunkenness of the Hell Fiend was instantly wiped away, and his mouth opened wide with an expression of shock and disbelief.
Because the pleasure demon in front of him was none other than Zuo Si personally appointed The exclusive secretary of the lord, the current lord of the fourth level of hell, Archduke Fierna, and her father’s biological daughter——Gramiel.
Her appearance immediately made Aigsaro feel extremely nervous, fearing that the other party was here to inform him about his reasons. Bad news about being demoted for poor performance
After all, a "big man" like this who is at the core of the power of the ninth floor of the palace can cause catastrophe to the devils below even with a casual wave of his hand.
"Relax, I'm not here to remove you from your post or announce that you will be punished. Quite the opposite. I received a direct order from the lord and am here to help you open up the situation."
< br>As he spoke, Gramiel took out a note written in purgatory script from the small bag he carried.
Aigsaro only glanced at it and immediately frowned, lowered his voice and cautiously tried: "This is a list of the time when Shemisaka's caravan left Baator Hell and the list of goods they purchased. ? Do you want me to take people to snatch this batch of goods?”
“No, it’s not you who want to snatch it, but let those Shemisaka enemies do it. The city’s biggest rival—Titan Zedara,” Gramir corrected with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"Titan Zedara?
Ah!
I understand.
You mean to cause some trouble for this yugoloth.
Let her have to beg on our heads
In this way, a fragile collaboration can be established by selling favors.
As her business becomes more and more dependent on us, she will naturally start to share the intelligence resources at hand. ”
Aigsaro instantly understood the hidden intention behind the information at hand.
You must know that Shemisaka purchased large quantities of highly addictive potions from the ninth level of hell. It is no secret that Sigil City sells these things.
In other words, all merchants who buy such things in large quantities and the forces behind them will be discovered by the devil's intelligence system.
More importantly, because making money is too fast and too easy, it can easily form an inseparable dependence.
Once the supply is suddenly cut off, it will inevitably cause a terrible blow.
Currently, Shemisaka’s business, excluding the intelligence network that is its foundation, and other businesses such as hotels, pubs, casinos, special service industries, etc., may not be as profitable as those of the five pharmaceutical companies. one part.
Using this as a bargaining chip to open up the situation is undoubtedly an excellent choice.
But Gramir shook his head meaningfully: "No, you are wrong.
Lord Soth wants more than just sharing.
He wanted to swallow up this insidious and cunning yugoloth demon and the huge intelligence network she had spun.
Your task is to create an opportunity and then serve as the middleman responsible for matchmaking.
Don't worry about the rest, I will take over it myself.
Do a good job and don’t make any more mistakes.
Otherwise, you're just waiting to be demoted to a little devil. "
After that, the Pleasure Demon stood up and walked out of the tavern without looking back, disappearing at the end of the intricate streets of Sigil City.
"Demoted to a little devil? I won't be demoted! "
Egasaro's eyes burst out with a frightening red light, and he threw a few gold coins on the bar table. Then he also left the tavern and began to plan how to avoid being suspected by the other party. , deliver the news to Shemisaka's enemies as quickly as possible.
You don't need to ask to know that Gramir's sudden appearance and subsequent actions all came from Zuo Si's instructions. >
The reason Zuo Si made this judgment was based on the conversation between the ace spies Farrow and Shemisaka.
Since the dangerous sects of Sigil began to appear in Ascaltra, he had to ensure that he could get first-hand information when these guys wanted to cause trouble.
Otherwise, the battles, conflicts and even wars among the fifteen main sects in Sigil may spread to the West Coast Empire at any time.
This is not alarmist.
Don’t think that these mentally disturbed guys won’t mess around if Ms. Pain is there to control the situation.
In fact, there are a lot of madmen in Sigil every day who want to challenge or even kill the Lady of Pain with their own hands.
Some of them simply want to make a name for themselves, while others are trying to seize the powerful power of the Lady of Pain to become the new Lord of Sigil.
In addition, Zuo Si also vaguely remembered that the sharp conflict between the Harmony Society and the Doom Guard Order eventually triggered a chaos among the fifteen major factions in Sigil.
The entire City of Sigil was almost completely destroyed in the riots.
It wasn't until someone issued an ultimatum, suspected to be Lady Pain, to cease war or die, that everything finally returned to calm.
Since then, except for Rice, the president of the Transcendental Society, all the leaders of the other fourteen factions have disappeared inexplicably.
There are rumors that they attracted the attention of the Lady of Pain, so they were all killed mercilessly;
Some people said that they were thrown into an endless maze by the Lady, and they will spend the rest of their lives. It's impossible to come back again.
But one thing is certain, that is, Sigil suffered an almost devastating blow.
It was precisely because he understood the terror of these factions that Zuo Si decided to infiltrate Sigil City and establish a force of his own.
Of course, he will carefully control the scale and try not to stimulate the sensitive nerves of the painful lady, let alone enter easily.
After all, no one knows how this person will treat a great devil and planeswalker with quasi-divine powers.
Just when the operation in Sigil City began, far under the thick ice in the far north of the world where the floating city of Plantia is located, several floating cities controlled by high-level undead creature casters suddenly bombarded A loud sound broke through the ice and flew into the sky again.
But it is different from the previous situation where there are zombies, skeletons and various stitched undead.
Nowadays, these floating cities have all been completed by black glittering oil. Both creatures and buildings are filled with a twisted abstract beauty of metal and flesh.
In particular, several floating cities were basically transformed into ovals like flying saucers. Various mage towers and buildings were also covered by connected cabins, and the main body changed from stone to one shimmering with silvery white light. Unknown alloy.
Obviously, these guys who thought they could live their own lives behind closed doors never expected that the diary had already secretly thrown the oil under the ice through magic.
But those low-level undead did not have enough intelligence to understand the process of Shimmering Oil infection, nor did they know how to resist and report to their superiors, so they completed large-scale assimilation without knowing it.
By the time some high-level undead spellcasters react, it is too late to stop or escape.
"Hahaha! This task is really easier and more enjoyable than expected. I completed it without paying much attention to it."
The diary stood in the library of one of the central towers of the floating city. In one hand, he held all the information about the profession of creator. In the other hand, he hugged a beautiful vampire in cool clothes and grinned. Unbridled laughter.
Behind him, followed a group of more than thirty high-level undead spellcasters who should be considered legendary mages according to Faerûn.
Under the transformation of Shuoyou, these guys have all turned into Necron-like images, full of inexplicable sense of technology.
Not only is he equipped with a large number of advanced and complex electronic instruments and mechanical limbs, but there are also thousands of freely moving magic turrets floating around and above the butterfly-shaped floating city.
The exposed bones of the skeleton warriors were without exception replaced by harder metal bones, and the eye sockets were no longer two points of cold light, but electronic eyes flashing with red light.
The oil engine in the chest keeps roaring, providing it with power that is many times more powerful than before, making its combat effectiveness comparable to low-level magic constructs.
The only thing that needs some time to deal with right now is the huge glistening oil lake under the ice cave that has begun to erode the earth's crust and ocean.
But fortunately, this kind of thing does not require a diary to worry about.
What he has to do is to get the information about the creator profession to Zuo Si as soon as possible, and then he can turn around and go find Xia En VII to play with him.
Compared to this deserted world with a sparse population and civilization still in the recovery stage, the diary obviously prefers another world with a large number of beauties of different races.
What's more, as the situation continues to escalate, a full-scale war may break out over there soon.
He would not miss this kind of excitement easily.
In this way, with a few notebooks and parchment scrolls blessed with a large number of seals, the diary went directly to the mage tower of Askatra through the portal of the Floating City of Plantia, preparing to claim credit from its master. .
