"Great Phoenix God Benu!
You are the master of all flames in this world!
You are the protector of the soul!
You are the cycle of life and death, eternity Immortal symbol!
We sincerely pray to you!
Praise for your astonishing power!
I long for your favor!
Please come to this world!
This is the call of all believers! ”
……
Accompanied by the almost fanatical shouts of millions of werewolf goblins, a ball of magical flames that had been burning for several years in the center of the underground city community of Askatra Mage Tower suddenly exploded with a bang and transformed into a ball of fire exuding The scorching phoenix flew overhead under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
The golden flames and awe-inspiring majesty all prove that this is a genuine god worthy of the name.
Especially after several years of worship and belief, all the werewolves and goblins can clearly feel their connection with God, and all of them burst into tears with excitement.
Because of the initial cruel cleaning, domestication and isolation policies, they did not know the names of the goblin gods or other gods at all, and they had no idea who they should pray to so that their souls would have a destination after death.
The only thing that can be done is to pray to Bennu, the Phoenix God, who will not respond at all, over and over again as required, day after day, year after year.
Today, all this persistence and hard work finally paid off.
To be precise, they finally have their own god and no longer have to worry about the afterlife.
Obviously, all this was deliberately arranged by Zuo Si, or it was a strategy.
According to the consistent style of Io, the crystal wall god where the planet Toril is located, he usually will not refuse the arrival of a god with a large and steadfast group of believers in Faerûn.
So he deliberately forced these goblin werewolves to become followers of the Phoenix God Benu, and then waited for a period of time before trying to enter.
It must be said that this strategy is undoubtedly quite successful.
Judging from the process of Bennu's arrival, the god Io did not even show up and directly allowed him to descend into the incarnation, and established a stable connection with the entire crystal wall system.
The huge golden flame phoenix soared above the underground city for a few minutes. After promoting some believers with sufficient perception attributes as priests, it quickly shrank in size and landed steadily beside Zuo Si. It lowered its head slightly and used A slightly crisp voice greeted: "Father..."
"How about, with your current number of believers, what level of divine power can you maintain in this world?" Zuo Si asked straightforwardly.
“It’s almost like medium divine power. But within your scope of influence, you can get additional supplements from other time and space to restore to strong divine power.”
Bennu quickly gave an accurate answer after thinking for a moment.
After all, in Faerûn, a place with special rules, no matter how powerful the foreign gods are, they need local believers and influence to support them if they want to convey their divine power.
In other words, if a powerful divine power in the outer plane has only tens of thousands of believers in Faerûn, then there is a high probability that he can only exert semi-god-like power within the crystal wall. If If it's more than a hundred thousand, it's almost equivalent to a weak divine power.
To become a powerful god, you need at least millions of believers. At the same time, almost one-third or even more than half of the world's population must know God's name and at least partially agree with what God preaches. doctrine.
This is also the reason why some gods have many followers, but they have never become powerful gods.
But other gods may seem to have few followers on the surface, but they can have a place among the powerful gods.
The key point is whether the clergy and teachings have universal value and whether they will be recognized by mortals and used as principles to be believed in in daily life.
Tyr, the god of justice, Midnight, the goddess of magic, Ogma, the god of knowledge, Tempus, the god of war, and Shar, the goddess of night, are the most representative examples.
Tir represents the simplest desire for justice and fairness in the hearts of ordinary people;
Midnight is the embodiment of the magic network. As long as people are still using magic, no matter it is arcane magic, Whether it is magic or magic, it is equivalent to recognizing the rules she has established in this field;
Ogma symbolizes knowledge, wisdom and invention, and is the driving force for social progress and development;
The God of War Tempus is the embodiment of war and battle, and these two things are rooted in the genes of every intelligent biological race Among them, as there is a saying, where there are people there are fights, and the fights of many people will evolve into wars;
Shar represents almost all the human nature of intelligent life. Dark side.
The above are not due to monopolizing the beliefs of a certain race and becoming powerful gods, but because their priesthood and teachings have been widely recognized by mortals.
As Bennu, who monopolizes all goblin and werewolf beliefs, the number of believers is definitely enough.
It's just that his influence is still too small, and most mortals don't even know that there is another god in Faerûn.
However, unlike the calm mortal world, the gods reacted as if a pot had exploded.
After all, this is not the birth of an insignificant demigod, but the arrival of a medium-level divine power out of thin air.
Almost all gods want to find out where this Phoenix God who calls himself Bennu comes from, what his alignment, priesthood and doctrine are, so as to confirm whether the other party will be an enemy in the future or a like-minded person. allies.
Talona, Midnight, Woking and Ogma, who are closely related to Zuo Si, have obviously known about the existence of Bennu for a long time, but they have not made it known to the public out of the need of confidentiality.
Obviously, Zuo Si summoned the Phoenix God to Faerun at this time for two main purposes.
The first one is naturally to provide magical support to players who have chosen the priest profession, and the other is to prepare for the upcoming head-on confrontation.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and gently stroked the flaming feathers on Bennu's body that could melt and evaporate steel, and ordered in a tone without any emotion: "Don't expose the relationship between us yet.< br>
Try to act like a new god who has just arrived and doesn’t know much about everything.
In this way, a goddess who is good at deceiving and playing tricks will definitely try her best to seduce you and me. Enemy.
And what you have to do is to infiltrate the opponent's organization and help me figure out who is in this alliance. "
"You mean to ask me to be a spy? ”
Bennu’s tone revealed strong surprise.
Because he has never done such a thing since he was born, and he doesn’t know if he can play with his own mind and brain.
Zuo Si nodded with a playful smile on his face: "That's right.
Although I have reached a secret agreement with the winter goddess Oluel in private.
She will pretend to join this alliance that is my enemy and act as an informant.
But I still think it’s better to have someone you can trust.
After all, the Furious Gods are all more or less mad and capricious.
This can be glimpsed from the fact that the other party lives in the outer plane of the noisy tunnel.
So I have to be fully prepared to take control of the situation, rather than pin my hopes of victory on a guy who has no fixed position. "
"Understood. "
A dazzling golden light flashed in Bennu's eyes, and then turned into a ball of embers and disappeared in place.
As the only true god of the magical earth, it can even be said to be the incarnation of the will of the planet. , he was created by Zuo Si through the life magic he learned from his cheap teacher Solin Markov, so he has always obeyed his father's instructions and has never shown the slightest hint of rebellion.
The Phoenix God. As soon as her front legs left, Nimedona, the Attendant of Nature God, returned to the Mage Tower through inter-dimensional teleportation, and reported directly: "Father, I have sent those interesting guys to the designated area according to your wishes. It is unknown whether they can adapt to the cruel environment of Shura Field and the Bottomless Abyss, and whether they can survive the siege of demons, orcs and goblin-like creatures. ”
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, my purpose of releasing them is to create chaos. It's best to have unexpected surprises. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter."
Zuo Si had a relaxed expression on his face, and there was no trace of it at all. of tension.
Since he has visited almost all outer planes, he has a deep understanding of how dangerous and harsh the environment of the abyss and Shura field is.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the Abyss, the home of the devil. The diversity brought about by its evil and chaotic nature is second to none even in the multiverse.
Even the devil himself does not know what kind of emergency may happen in the next second.
When traveling in a place like this, luck is often far more important than strength.
In contrast, Shura Field is a strange place with a large number of iron blocks floating in the air. The iron blocks often collide, and huge echoes linger throughout the plane and mix with the killing cries of the army. together.
The essence of it is conflict and war.
Orc gods, goblin gods, and the legions assembled by other warlike gods engage in a never-ending fight here.
All creatures in this plane can receive rewards from the will of the plane as long as they harm other hostile creatures.
The most well-known is that every time you kill a creature, you can gain temporary life equal to half of your own health.
The more you kill, the more rewards you get, and they can be superimposed infinitely, which greatly reduces the probability of a strong person being drowned alive by a massive amount of cannon fodder.
In the absence of a powerful spellcaster, a high-level warrior can often directly activate the grass-cutting unparalleled mode in the Shura field plane and slaughter an army with one person.
Until he meets a warrior as powerful as him and starts an epic duel.
“You want to use these players to reignite infighting between your enemies?”
Nimidona asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si nodded very simply: "Yes.
After all, according to the currently known information, this group of guys who have temporarily united to fight against me are not monolithic.< br>
Many are still enemies even now
In addition, the Chaos camp has always lacked rationality and is very easy to make some overreactions on impulse, so it is natural to try to divide them.
For example, the eternal war between the orc gods and the goblin gods has been going on for a long, long time.
Although the intensity has suddenly been lowered recently, the contradictions and hatred between the two parties still exist, and they are very, very sharp.
At this time, if a stick is suddenly inserted and stirred up, guess what will happen?
The same principle can also be applied to those demon lords who are busy fighting among themselves all day long.
Remember, never treat your enemies as a whole, that will only make them more united.
Quite the opposite!
We must try every means to find possible conflicts between them, and then do our best to provoke and intensify them, and ultimately achieve the goal of disintegration and breakdown one by one. ”
“That’s it! I think I understand what you mean. "
Nimidona showed a thoughtful expression, and subconsciously clenched the +5 secondary artifact compound bow in her hand that could shoot killing arrows.
She was obviously ready. To "defeat" those demon lords one by one, and use the death of the enemy to declare to the entire bottomless abyss what will happen to him if he dares to be an enemy of his father
Don't be fooled by the calm and indifferent appearance of the God's Attendant.
She is not a lawful and kind servant of the Blazing Sky. What she truly believes in is the cruel law of survival of the fittest in nature, and she has never tabooed killing.
"You should stay in the mage tower recently and stop wandering around the outer plane. I need someone to take charge here."
After that, Zuo Si ended his relationship with Nimi Chat with Donna and return directly to her room on the upper floor of the mage tower.
Eribes, who had been lying here in a coma for a long time, finally woke up.
"I...where is this?"
The half-elf paladin struggled to get up from the bed and looked around, with confusion in his eyes.
But soon, she felt severe pain in her head, and then she screamed and collapsed on the ground. A large number of images, whether they were hallucinations or memories, continued to appear in front of her eyes.
In just a few minutes, her nightgown was covered with sweat, her eyes quickly turned from confusion to anger, and her originally pale lips turned black and blue for some reason. The expression on his face was no longer bright and holy, but exuded a strong dark aura.
"This is Ashcatella, you are in my mage tower."
Zuo Si stood aside and carefully observed the drastic changes that were taking place in the other person's body. He was basically certain that this was 100% related to the previous kiss from Shar, the goddess of night.
In other words, Shar inspired the dark side in his heart.
"No!!!! How could Vanswijk do this! Has he forgotten the oath he made? This is a naked betrayal! I will never forgive you!"
Ai Rebes roared hysterically like a madman.
You don’t need to ask to know what the image she just saw was.
As one of the masterminds behind the plague in Neverwinter, Shar naturally knew everything that happened in a certain hotel, and then used this incident as an inducement to make the paladin engulfed in extreme anger and sadness.
This is the tried and tested method of evil gods, demon lords and devil dukes.
Especially Shar also used her divine power to amplify this negative emotion.
Looking at the woman in front of her who had lost her divine grace and divine blessing, Zuo Si couldn't help but remind her: "I think you should know that this is a conspiracy, and both you and Vanswijk are just victims."< br>
“Victim?
Ha ha ha ha!
Are you actually excusing him?
Look at this bastard looking like he was enjoying himself while cheating!
He even abandoned me and fell in love with a man from the bottom of his heart!
The most important thing is that he became Deszell's accomplice in spreading the plague in Neverwinter!
Countless civilians died in pain because of his stupidity and incompetence!
To hell with laws and judgments!
I want to kill Vanswijk with my own hands! ”
Erebeth has obviously been preconceived at this moment and cannot listen to any advice at all, and there is a look of twisted hatred on her face.
Obviously, this is how she will suddenly fall. One of the reasons is that he gave up his original belief in law, order and justice and planned to use lynching to kill a person whose crime was not worthy of death.
According to the teachings of Tyr, the god of justice, such behavior is undoubtedly strictly prohibited.
Zuo Si shook his head slightly and asked, "But what if you kill him?
Can you get happiness and satisfaction from this?
Hatred is the stupidest and most meaningless emotion in the world.
It will not only affect your rationality, but also make you fall into pain and internal friction.
I'm not saying don't take revenge, I'm simply telling you that there's no need to torture yourself for those who hurt you. ”
Never let yourself fall into hatred for a certain person or group, but analyze the problem from the perspective of interests. Even former enemies can temporarily turn enemies into friends as long as they have enough benefits. This is Zuo Si has always adhered to the principle.
Even if someone close to him betrays him, or even causes major crises and losses, he will just imprint the other person's name in his mind and wait for an opportunity. Settle accounts after the fall.
As for hatred...
Sorry, this emotion was completely abandoned when I was an apprentice in Plantia Floating City.
Because there is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.
When a person hates another person with unforgettable feelings, he first needs to give out true emotions.
But after experiencing so much, Zuo Si would never pour too much emotion into anyone, let alone give anyone too much trust.
This means that from the beginning, whether it was betrayal or failure, it was within the scope of his psychological expectations, and there was no need to feel hatred or disappointment.
But Aribes, who has been on a smooth journey since being inspired, obviously does not have such a psychological quality, and has never even experienced betrayal by someone close to him.
She suddenly raised her head and gritted her teeth and said: "Since Vanswijk betrayed me! It made me feel so painful! Then as a fair exchange, I will also betray him and let him feel the same pain!"
"Oh? What are you going to do?"
Zuo Si showed a very surprised expression. After all, in the original timeline, the mad woman in front of her burned her fiancé to death without trial in order to retaliate against the mob in Neverwinter City, but she directly joined the enemy's camp and attacked Neverwinter City, vowing to raze the entire city to the ground. .
He was very curious about what extraordinary behavior the other party would make now that the situation had changed.
Tear!
With the sound of the cloth being torn apart, Aribes took off all the clothes on her body in a very violent way and stood naked on the spot.
“It’s very simple.
I will cheat on him as Vanswijk’s fiancée.
Then tell him the truth, and then force him to fulfill the agreement and hold a wedding with a pregnant belly. My lawful husband.
I want to humiliate him severely!
Let everyone in Neverwinter and even the North know what happened in this engagement!
Let his reputation be ruined and become the laughing stock of everyone, and he will no longer be able to serve as the priest of Tyr, the god of justice!
Come, Your Majesty the Great Emperor, Lord of the Ninth Level of Baator Hell and Prince of Demons, I need you now.
In return, from now on you will be my loyal Dark Lord, and I will dedicate my faith and even my soul. ”
After saying that, Aribes's body suddenly began to flash with a dark red aura that symbolized evil, followed by a ball of flames from Baator Hell that enveloped her whole body.
Without any hesitation or hesitation, she walked straight forward with firm steps, took the initiative to hug Zuo Si's neck and began her revenge.
Although it was her first time, this half-elf woman acted extremely proactive, rough, and savage, and could even be described as self-abuse.
It felt like the darkness and depravity inherent in the soul had been completely aroused.
……
At the same time, far away in the endless wilderness, forests and mountains of the North, the fourth natural disasters released have begun to exert their terrifying destructive power.
In just a few days, many areas have already fallen into extreme chaos that exceeded everyone's expectations.
More than hundreds of moving monster tribes have lost contact inexplicably, and those that have gathered together to form a large scale are being harassed and assassinated from morning to night.
Even if the chiefs sent wargs, goblin dogs, winter wolves and other canine creatures with keen sense of smell to patrol around the clock and successfully killed many thieves, assassins and rangers who lurked in, they still had little effect.
After all, for a group of players with the ability to resurrect, dying a few times is nothing.
But once you successfully assassinate a high-value target, you will not only gain considerable experience points, but also harvest valuable magic items. It is simply a bloody profit.
You must know that not all worlds have as many magic items, equipment, scrolls, potions and materials as Faerûn.
Right now, a team of twelve people had just completed an ambush on a goblin tribe of more than two hundred people. One bugbear and ten hobgoblins were killed almost immediately.
Seeing that all the leaders were killed, the remaining ordinary goblins naturally used their subjective initiative to break up and run for their lives.
Normally, no adventurers or mercenaries would pursue a group of ordinary goblins who had lost their will to fight and had nothing valuable on them.
But the players are obviously different.
In their opinion, these easy-to-kill little monsters are all mobile experience points. How can they be wasted?
As a result, the rangers, druids and mages in the team immediately launched pursuit with their animal companions and familiars.
After a while, corpses were scattered all over the place. Even the poor people who had crawled into holes in the bushes and trees were picked out one by one and executed.
"Hey! I just like killing these monsters that have lost their will to resist without taking any risks."
A warrior wearing half-armor, his face stained red by splatters of blood, grinned and let out a creepy laugh.
At his feet lay a dozen mutilated goblin corpses, some of which were not even dead yet, but whose limbs had been brutally chopped off, twitching, wailing, and begging for mercy.
But unfortunately, their ugly appearance and foul smell really make people unable to feel sympathy.
If it were a cute squirrel, rabbit, bobcat, lynx, rabbit, or wolf, maybe the players would suddenly be kind and let them go, or even throw two pieces of meat generously. Hello.
No way, who makes this kind of creature a typical appearance party.
Otherwise, why do so many people go to great lengths to protect rogue cats and dogs that may pose a threat to humans and their young children, but no one has ever advocated the protection of spiders, centipedes, and dung beetles, insects that are friendly to humans?
To put it bluntly, cats and dogs are not only cuter in appearance and in line with human aesthetics, but insects such as spiders, centipedes, and dung beetles are not in line with human aesthetics and can even be scary.
“Look, there is another survivor here!”
Another thief picked up an underage goblin by its ankles and lifted it up from the ground.
The latter was obviously very frightened, crying and begging, asking these terrible adventurers not to kill him.
"Oh - damn! These monsters actually have children?"
The women in the team showed unbearable expressions.
"How fresh! If there are no children, how do they survive and reproduce? I just killed several of them. Although the experience points are a little less, mosquito legs are also meat."
As he spoke, a warlock kicked twice the corpse of the underage goblin whose heart had been stabbed and died at his feet. There was no trace of movement on his calm face.
"Crab! You are such a ruthless and cruel killer. Look at how pitiful this little guy is, can't we let him go?"
The woman rolled her eyes at her teammates angrily.
But the warlock retorted disapprovingly: "Let it go? Then let it starve to death in this wilderness or be eaten by other beasts? Don't be stupid, killing is the real mercy, and It won’t waste valuable experience points.”
“But can’t we adopt it? Just like the old players, we can recruit the natives and train them into useful talents. It should be able to be trained after being so small. Then he became a good thief.”
The woman cautiously made another suggestion.
Hearing this, the soldier immediately couldn't help but complain: "My dear, you are really whimsical.
Look around, we just killed this little monster's entire family, even his parents and siblings.
How do you think it will repay us after being trained to become a thief?
With a guy like this in the team, I probably have to keep one eye open even when I sleep.
Otherwise, it is very likely that your throat will be cut with a sharp dagger in your sleep. "
The thieves not far away urged impatiently: "What are you planning to do? Give me an accurate message quickly! ”
"Oh - forget it, let me send it on its way with my own hands."
The woman sighed slightly, walked straight to the thief, raised it high above her head as if holding a child, and then He closed his eyes and suddenly hit a big rock on the ground at lightning speed.
Bang!
In an instant, the brains were all overflowing, and the little goblin's head was blown to pieces and dead on the spot.
After all this was done, she immediately changed her previous pitiful and compassionate look, and said in a nonchalant tone: "It's okay. I gave you two experience points. For a little monster who has no ability to resist. That’s quite a lot.”
"Ah?! Were you just pretending to be like that before?"
The thief was completely stunned by the coquettish behavior of my female teammate.
"Otherwise? You don't think I would really sympathize with an ugly monster with a smelly body, do you? They are just experience points in my eyes."
< br>The woman glanced at the corpse on the ground with a disdainful expression.
The evil, indifference, and disdain for life that radiated from the bones made the Zhentarim spies hiding in the trees far away feel fear and timidity from the bottom of their hearts.
Although he himself is quite evil and has done many heinous things.
But compared with these guys who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, they still seemed too kind.
And this spy can swear that if he casts a camp detection spell on the other party, a red-black light symbolizing extreme evil will 100% light up.
Terrible!
It’s really terrible!
After realizing what kind of ruthless people he was monitoring and observing, he quickly entered the stealth state and turned around and ran towards the nearby stronghold.
I am afraid that if I walk too slowly, I will be discovered and follow in the footsteps of those goblins who were exterminated.
You don’t need to ask to know that this lucky Zhentarim spy made a correct judgment.
Because at this moment, many of his colleagues had been caught by the players because their stealth skills were not good enough, and then they tasted a complete set of "big memory recovery techniques", and what should be explained, I said all the things I shouldn't have to say, just to give myself a break.
It would be considered "lucky" if it fell into the hands of a player from Magic Earth.
At least they still retain normal human emotions and part of their moral bottom line.
In contrast, those players who come from the Warhammer universe, have tasted darkness and despair, and have strong hostility towards alien creatures are truly terrifying.
For example, a team descended on the mountains north of the Miral River near the Spine of the World.
They built a simple poison gas workshop using local materials, relying on their chemical knowledge and the equipment they carried. They are using deadly poison gas to deal with a group of jackals, kobolds, half-giants and hill giants entrenched in the cave. The coalition formed.
Because the air outlet has been blocked in advance, when the colorless and odorless deadly gas pours into the cave, the kobolds with the weakest constitution are the first to begin to experience symptoms such as chest tightness, headache, nausea and vomiting. Immediately afterwards, they collapsed in pieces, and eventually died of muscle spasms and respiratory failure.
By the time the Jackal reacted and wanted to run away, his limbs were already weak due to inhaling excessive poisonous gas, and he lost the ability to move before he could run very far.
Even if one or two lucky people with relatively good physique come to the entrance of the cave, they will only see that it has been completely sealed, leaving only a black hole carrying poisonous gas.
What’s even worse is that since this is the source of poisonous gas, the closer you get to the air, the higher the concentration of poisonous gas will be, and the more serious the damage will be to the body. Even if a hill giant rushes here, it will basically be dead. He was already dying and had no strength to break open the sealed hole.
In the end, this monster that could pose a huge threat to any town died quietly.
When the sealed cave entrance was opened, except for corpses with painful expressions on the ground, there was no living thing at all.
After the poisonous gas in the cave had almost dissipated, a group of players wearing gas masks entered and checked one by one. After confirming that there were no survivors, one of them walked straight to the leading man, performed a standard imperial military salute, and loudly reported the report. : "Captain, according to your order, we have killed all the monsters in this cave with poison gas. We have obtained a total of three magic items and twelve scrolls. The rest are basically ordinary leather armors and iron weapons."< br>
"Very good! Pack up the loot and immediately order our people to move to the next place where monsters gather. By the way, urge the logistics department to quickly create more poison gas. I will kill all the monsters in these mountains. Kill them all and leave no one behind.”
The man called Captain grinned with a cruel and bloodthirsty smile.
Obviously, these guys were members of the Astra Militarum of the Human Empire during their lifetimes.
It’s just that due to various reasons, either saying things that shouldn’t be said, violating military laws, or simply being persecuted, all of them were sent to Zuo Sishuo’s oil clone as soul currency. hands.
Some of them had long been accustomed to war, and were even addicted to war and killing. They could not live an ordinary life at all, so they chose to make a deal with Zuo Si.
The characteristic of this type of people is that they have basically participated in battles with aliens such as orcs and Tyranids and survived to the end. Their combat effectiveness, fighting will, and tacit understanding with their companions can be imagined. Know.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the best among the best.
The most important thing is that Zuo Si appreciates these guys' all-out war tactics.
As long as they can kill more enemies quickly, they don't care whether they use chemical poison gas or nuclear weapons that can cause radioactive pollution to the environment.
There is no doubt that killings like this are just the tip of the iceberg across the Northland.
Almost every ten minutes, a monster tribe will be completely wiped out.
Not to mention monsters, even many barbarian tribes that showed hostility treated them equally and directly killed all the adult warriors who participated in the attack, leaving only women and children.
This group of fourth natural disasters that were released not only frightened Shar and other gods and demon lords who were planning to launch a full-scale attack in the North, but also frightened many towns.
Especially when these adventurers and mercenaries who don’t know where they come from come to collect the reward with a whole sack of monster ears, noses or tongues, the scene is really a bit too scary and extremely impactful. .
And if they could kill so many monsters easily, it would naturally be possible to seize the rule of a town by force.
For a time, a large number of letters asking for help were sent to the imperial cabinet.
Even Kelben and Lyra of Waterdeep City and Alustriel of Silvermoon City specifically used communication magic to ask Zuo Si what happened.
After all, the entire Northland has only a small population.
Anyone who is not a fool knows that it is impossible for tens of thousands of elite adventurers to suddenly appear in a remote place like this. There must be someone behind the scenes.
The most suspicious person among them is naturally the emperor of the West Coast Empire.
"What do you think Soss wants to do this time?"
Alustriel looked at the latest piece of information sent, his face full of shock, confusion and confusion.
She is now standing in the living room of the Black Rod Tower in Waterdeep City, discussing with two other voters of the Magic Goddess about the recent strange situation in the North.
Laila held her forehead and smiled bitterly: "Don't ask me, I'm not a little confused either.
Because so far, Soth has not made any response.
Anyway, it will definitely not be as simple as killing monsters and barbarian tribes.
He always likes to maximize profits when doing things.
Even if you want to reduce the number of monsters and barbarian tribes in the North, you should capture as many prisoners as possible and use them as free coolies and laborers. "
Alustriel nodded in agreement: "You are right, something must have happened that we don't know about. ”
"Could it be related to the recent outbreak of plague in Neverwinter?"
Kelben interjected, stroking the thick black beard on his chin.
Since breaking away from the Harper Alliance, he has led his followers to form another intelligence organization - Moon Star, and even made a deal with the tyrant of the Moon Sea, Fuzor Chambery, So I have heard some rumors.
"Plague in Neverwinter?"
Alustriel was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful expression.
Because in dealing with this matter, Lord Nasir's reaction was a bit incomprehensible. He neither asked for assistance from the West Coast Empire nor asked the Talona Church, which is best at this field, to intervene. Instead, he just closed the city. and isolation.
Aware of the problem, Alustriel immediately tried in an uncertain tone: "So Soth's abnormal behavior should be revenge? Just like he used the magic plague to kill everyone before. Like almost all the orcs in the North?”
“No, it may be much more serious than this.
Because according to the reports of my spies, I don’t know where they came from. There are at least hundreds of thousands of adventurers, and they are still increasing.
If nothing else, they should all come from another world.
This has to be done not only to reduce the number of monsters in the North, but also to completely exterminate all monster races from Waterdeep City to the area north of Baldur's Gate.
Such crazy killing will undoubtedly anger many gods and demon lords.
To some extent, this is almost equivalent to a declaration of war. "
Kelben stated his judgment straightforwardly.
"Goddess is on top! Is Soth crazy? No, I have to go to him immediately and ask him clearly. ”
Alustriel subconsciously wanted to activate the teleportation magic to go to the palace in Calimport or the mage tower in Askatra.
But Laila interrupted her almost reckless behavior: "Don't be impulsive. Have you forgotten that Soth has not responded to this matter so far? From what I know about him , either he is very busy now and has no time, or it is not convenient to reveal too much. Please wait patiently for a few days..."
