"According to modern Earth medical research, a healthy human body carries at least 140,000 types of viruses, not to mention even more bacteria.
Now, imagine such a person transmigrating t...
"His skin was pale, his carotid artery was severed by a sharp weapon, and there were obvious signs of a struggle.
If nothing unexpected happens, death should be caused by excessive blood loss.
The body shows no signs of decay for the time being, but the muscles have begun to stiffen and slight livor mortis has appeared. It is estimated that the time of death is about two hours.
In other words, the two shapeshifters invaded the house for no more than three hours.
They didn't steal anything, it seems they were trying to take over the identities of the deceased."
With his rich experience in dissection, Zuo Si easily figured out the cause and approximate time of death of the two poor farmers.
Likewise, he realized that there must be a staggering number of shapeshifters hiding around Baldur's Gate.
No wonder Sharevok was able to easily recruit so many shapeshifters a few years later and infiltrate the entire city on a large scale.
Be it the Flaming Fist Mercenary Headquarters, which was known to be as solid as a rock, or the major guilds of commerce and ducal residences in Baldur's Gate, they all fell one after another under the infiltration of shapeshifters, and in the end even Candlekeep was not spared.
no way.
After all, the magical power of Baldur's Gate is so weak that there is not even a decent spellcaster organization. It is much easier to infiltrate than the "City of Gold" Askatla.
Not to mention the spellcasting organization, it is estimated that the total number of mages and warlocks in the entire city may not even fifty reach.
The most important thing is that these mages and warlocks have no official control over them at all.
If something really happened, the possibility of them staying and dying with the city was almost zero.
"What should we do with these two bodies?" Davian asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si answered directly: "Just dig a hole behind this house and bury them. Put up two tombstones for them and write on them that this couple died at the hands of the shapeshifter."
"Don't we need to notify other farmers around to attend the funeral?" Isadora blinked in confusion.
In her impression, if someone died, there would be many people coming to say their final goodbyes.
"If other farmers come, how can we explain the cause of death of this couple? Or, do you think they will believe our story? They might even be mistaken for the murderer. So to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's skip the funeral."
After saying that, Zuo Si rubbed the girl's head vigorously, and at the same time signaled Davian and Huntington to start working.
After a while, two more graves appeared in the open space behind the house.
As for the tombstone, it is also very simple, just two worn wooden boards.
Written briefly in black charcoal were the identities of the deceased and the causes of their deaths.
Since Zuo Si himself was a priest, he processed the corpse according to the ritual to prevent it from turning into an undead creature.
After all, the negative energy in the Land of Death is already very active.
If nothing is done, the dead will sooner or later crawl out of their graves, just like the zombies and skeletons wandering around outside, posing a huge threat to nearby residents.
If the resentment accumulated due to tragic deaths in the past were to transform into intelligent zombies, there would probably be even more victims.
After finishing all this, everyone simply cleaned up the bloodstained area, used the stored food and vegetables in the house to make a sumptuous dinner, and even slaughtered a few chickens in the chicken coop in the backyard.
After filling their stomachs, Davian personally boiled a large bucket of water so that everyone could take a comfortable hot bath, and finally lie down on the wooden beds covered with several layers of animal fur to rest.
Since there are a large number of shadows lurking around to keep watch, there is no need to arrange anyone to stand guard at night.
When it was almost three o'clock in the middle of the night, the shadow assassin suddenly woke up Zuo Si who was sleeping soundly.
"What's going on?"
Zuo Si gently pulled his arm out of Isadora's arms without disturbing the girl who was still sleeping.
"A woman dressed as a wizard is walking towards this wooden house. In three minutes at most, she will walk through the gate and into the house." Yelnia explained in an emotionless tone.
Although the assassin's eyes were still flashing with deep hatred, he had already accepted his fate both in his actions and in his thoughts.
As one of the few people who had witnessed Zuo Si's growth process, she knew very well how powerful and terrifying this guy with the appearance of a ten-year-old boy was.
The energy contained in that thin body is enough to easily destroy a city or even a country.
In the face of such amazing power, the only thing one can hope for is to encounter a powerful enemy, and then die happily at the opponent's hands to find relief.
However, Zuo Si obviously didn't care about Yelnia's thoughts, but walked straight to the window and looked out.
With the help of the faint moonlight, I saw a figure slowly walking towards the cabin, with no intention of hiding at all.
Since the other party was holding a staff that was glowing with amber light and was wearing a robe, it was easy to tell that he was an arcane spellcaster.
As for gender, anyone who sees the pair of bulging breasts under the low neckline will definitely mistake it for a male.
Of course, special cases like "Edwina" are not ruled out.
After all, the power of magic is so magical that things like sex change are not difficult at all for a wizard of a slightly higher level.
Some guys who frequently change their gender may even develop some strange hobbies and sexual fetishes as a result.
For example, when Elminster was young, he was transformed into a woman by the second-generation magic goddess, and they also had some intimate behaviors in bed.
"Strange! Who would come to visit at this time?" Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered softly.
Because judging from her posture, this woman doesn't seem to be hostile.
Otherwise, you can use invisibility spells to prevent anyone from seeing you.
With doubts and confusion, Zuo Si walked up the creaking stairs to the living room on the first floor. He used magic to instantly boil the water in the pot and made a pot of fragrant tea. Then he poured two cups and sat at the table waiting for the other party to arrive.
Probably less than a minute later, a chanting of spells came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, the bolt that was stuck inside fell to the floor with a click.
There is no doubt that the woman used the second-level magic [Knocking].
The sound of the door bolt hitting the floor instantly woke up Davian and Huntington who were sleeping. They grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the house next to the first floor at a very fast speed.
However, when they saw Zuo Si sitting at the table and drinking tea calmly, they immediately relaxed a lot.
At least we can confirm that it was not an attack from an enemy, monster or beast.
Just when the Dragon Knight was about to ask his master a question, the tightly closed door was finally pushed open.
Through the torches with [Eternal Flame] hanging on the walls of the hall, one can vaguely see that this is a mature woman who looks to be around thirty years old with long dark red hair.
Even the loose wizard robe could not hide her curvy figure.
The most important thing is that the staff in the opponent's hand exudes an arcane light that is as bright and dazzling as the sun.
Zuo Si boasted that he had seen many powerful magical items, among which the most were contributed by the Archnecromancer Asta.
This can be seen from the four extra magic rings on his hands.
Of course, these magic rings don't all work as soon as you put them on.
Instead, only one ring on each hand can function, and the rest are just decorations.
However, as long as he wants, he can decide whether to switch at any time according to his needs and let another one replace the current magic ring.
Especially for rings like "mana storage" and "trigger" rings, you can switch them when you need them, and switch them back after use. It is extremely convenient.
But Zuo Si dared to guarantee that among all the magic items he had seen, none could compare with this staff.
Especially those complex patterns, under the gaze of the [Eye of Knowledge], quickly transformed into various magical and mystical knowledge, pouring into the [Library of Mind] like a tide.
Finally, he found the name of this staff from the vast collection of books in Candlekeep - the sub-artifact [Staff of the Archmage].
This is a weapon regarded as a treasure by countless mages.
It can not only be used to absorb spells released by the enemy, but also convert them into energy and store them.
At the same time, a large number of spells from zero to nine rings are stabilized, allowing the holder to release spells without preparing or consuming spell slots, simply by using the energy stored in the staff itself.
In addition, it also increases the holder's magic resistance to a considerable degree.
When the situation is critical, it can also perform a self-destruction with amazing power.
Although the [Staff of the Archmage] is not unique like other legendary magic items and minor artifacts.
Any wizard or sorcerer with sufficient knowledge and skill to create a magical item can attempt to make one.
But it is still a treasure coveted by all arcane spellcasters.
Anyone holding the [Staff of the Archmage] will have a spellcasting level no lower than LV17, which means that they have already mastered the powerful Nine-Ring Magic.
The woman obviously noticed the look in Zuo Si's eyes when he looked at the staff. A barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes. She then walked straight to the table, sat down on the chair very naturally, picked up the teacup and took a sip happily without saying a word.
"Phew - nothing can make people feel more relaxed and comfortable than drinking a cup of hot tea immediately after several hours of night travel. Good evening, dear Soth. I am very sorry to disturb your rest at this time. But please don't mind it because I followed you all the way from Baldur's Gate."
"Why don't you introduce yourself first?" Zuo Si looked the other person up and down with a scrutinizing look.
"Ah! I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. My name is Rain. As you can see, I'm a pretty good wizard. I currently work for the Emerald Society, a secret organization of spellcasters operating in Amn."
"The Emerald Society?"
Zuo Si immediately remembered that Asta seemed to have joined this organization.
According to the latter's description, the so-called "Emerald Society" is basically a civil organization that is dissatisfied with the masked wizard's monopoly on Amn's arcane magic resources and wants to overthrow it through violent means.
Although his overall strength is far inferior to that of the masked wizard who has the support of the official six-member council, he is definitely not completely powerless.
Rayne smiled and nodded, "That's right. Remember the attack on the Amn envoys in the Misty Mountains not long ago? That was planned by the top leaders of the Emerald Society.
They are not actually attacking the delegation itself, but rather want to test your strength as the Chosen One of the Goddess of Poison and Disease.
But unfortunately, your powerful success scared those guys so much that they didn't dare to show up at all."
"Attack me? Why?"
Zuo Si was not angry when he heard this information. Instead, he began to doubt the motives of the woman in front of him.
"Because in the sewers of the Athkatrawoking shopping mall, there is a powerful wizard named Erinikas who wants to find out the secrets about gods and divine power. And you, who possess divine power, are the ideal target. He is working with the Emerald Society to try to abduct you and bring you back for research."
Rain didn't hide anything and told him everything she knew.
After all, the first task given to her by the Lord of Talismans Shangela was to win Zuo Si's trust.
If you don't act honestly when dealing with such a suspicious person, the subsequent conversation and transaction will probably become extremely difficult.
"The Emerald Society... Erinikas... I see."
Through this simple information, Zuo Si instantly sorted out the problems that had been bothering him before.
As one of the most important villains in the adventure of the Son of Bhaal, June Irenicus' greatest wish is undoubtedly to become one of the elven gods and take revenge on those tribesmen who have hurt him.
So it's not surprising that he takes an interest in the Chosen Ones who possess divine powers.
You should know that not all gods will grant their chosen people their divine power. This is a privilege for very few mortals who are truly favored by the gods.
Moreover, these voters are often very powerful, and almost every one of them has a legendary level and corresponding profession.
If Erinikas dared to target these people, he would most likely be beaten to death on the spot.
But Zuo Si was different.
He had only recently become the Chosen One, and in the eyes of outsiders he probably wasn't able to master the power bestowed by Talona, so he naturally became the easiest target.
No one knew what conditions Erinikas had offered that made the Emerald Society dare to risk offending a god to do such a thing.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si put down the teacup in his hand, narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively: "Why are you telling me this? Aren't you working for the Jade Society?"
A sinister expression appeared on Rayne's face, and she replied with a half-smile: "Because I want to kill them and become the leader of the Emerald Society.
In fact, I had already talked to Erinikas before coming here.
He didn't mind at all who the leader of the Emerald Society was, he just wanted a chance to study divine power.
As for the other members of the organization, don't worry, I will deal with them one by one afterwards.
Therefore, as long as the two of us join forces, we can capture all the top leaders of the Jade Society in one fell swoop.
If your plan succeeds, you will not only eliminate a potential enemy.
At the same time, you can work with me to control the organization and divide up the knowledge, wealth and secret strongholds accumulated by the Emerald Society over the years throughout the corners of Amn.
This includes an unknown secret gem mine near the city of Kzura.
In addition, you can also trade with Erinikas to get what you want.
He has mastered many magical skills unique to elves, even the famous "maze lock".
Otherwise, the higher-ups of the Emerald Society wouldn't take such a huge risk to ambush you.
So, what is your answer?
"How can I be sure that this is not a trap?" Zuo Si asked calmly.
Although through the voter's ability to [identify lies], he can already confirm that everything the other party said just now was true.
But the problem is that sometimes the truth that has been filtered is often more deadly than the lie itself.
"I can tell you the time and location of the next ambush by the top leaders of the Emerald Society, as well as the detailed information of everyone involved in the operation. How about that? Is it enough to show my sincerity?"
As she spoke, Rain took out a few pieces of parchment covered with tiny handwriting from her pocket with a smile on her face.
Zuo Si took it and glanced at it, then immediately asked in an uncertain tone, "More than forty vampires? Are you sure you didn't write an extra zero?"
"No. Because these vampires are sponsored by Erinikas. Some people are very afraid of the shadow army you controlled last time, so they dare not act easily without some support. Why, do these vampires make you feel pressured?"
There was a hint of teasing in Rain's tone.
Zuo Si sneered and responded, "No, I'm just thinking about how to kill all these undead creatures before they turn around and run away."
You should know that the mana value that can be obtained by killing a vampire is quite considerable, almost equivalent to killing a tribe of gnolls or orcs.
If there really were forty attacking vampires, he would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
In fact, Zuo Si had been waiting for Ximanmon's information these days, planning to go to Zhentil Castle to harvest a wave of Xirik Church members in order to upgrade his professional level of [Mystic].
But who would have thought that before any news came from Ximanmeng, the Emerald Society was already rushing to offer their lives.
"I feel relieved to hear you say that.
Remember, three days from now, at the border of the Trollwood and the High Wasteland, they will launch a second ambush against you.
This time, there will not only be a large number of monsters controlled by spells.
There are also at least five high-level mages who have mastered arcane arts above the seventh level, and nearly a dozen low-level mages.
By then they will definitely use [Dimension Lock] to prevent all forms of teleportation.
It will take me a while to get here.”
Lei Yin explained all the precautions in one go.
Because she knew nothing about Zuo Si's spellcasting level and the abilities of his voters, and had no idea whether the other party could withstand a siege of this scale, she was afraid that she would mess it up by accident.
You must know that although Shanggra is not as arbitrary, domineering, cold and cruel as other symbol masters, he is by no means a good person.
If something unexpected happened to the thing he wanted, Rain felt that he would end up in a miserable state.
As for defection...
Sorry, there has not been a single case of anyone successfully defecting since the establishment of the Entanglement Talisman.
Even a great wizard who had mastered the arcane of the Nine Rings could not withstand the siege of several legendary undead spellcasters.
After all, not everyone is called "Storm Queen" Xinbu, who can kill several ring mentors of the Red Wizards' Coven while being besieged.
"I'm not as fragile as you think. Maybe by the time you arrive, the battle will be over." Zuo Si responded in a half-joking tone.
Sorry! In this regard, the planeswalker is really not afraid of anyone.
Because the number of summoning cards he had on hand had long been enough to form an army due to continuous replenishment.
And there are basically no trash or cannon fodder. They either have a certain professional level or their race is strong enough.
Even as powerful as dragons are, there are two white dragons, a dragon lich, and an Oranli hydra from Zendikar.
"I like confident men. If you didn't look so young, maybe I would consider developing an intimate relationship with you."
After saying that, Rain put her fingers on her lips and blew a kiss, then activated the teleportation magic and disappeared without a trace.
After about two or three minutes, after confirming that she had really left, Davian couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you think this woman's words are credible?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's credible or not. What matters is that the information is useful to us, that's enough." Zuo Si casually poured himself another cup of tea.
Since he had slept for eight hours, his spell and divine power had recovered, so he didn't plan to go back to bed to rest. He simply drank some more tea to refresh himself.
"What are you going to do?"
Davian's eyes, like those of a red dragon, flashed bright orange in the darkness.
Zuo Si answered meaningfully, "It's very simple. Since the people of the Emerald Society want to be my enemy, I will help them. After all, mana is something that can never be too much. And with so many high-level mages, it's a sure win whether I kill them or capture them and make them into cards. As for those vampires, they can just test the power of [Daytime Star]."
"Aren't you going to go back and call for help?"
The usually taciturn shooter Huntington suddenly asked.
"Of course we need to call for help. But not now. Because we can't be sure whether the people from the Emerald Society are hiding and watching us in the dark, so calling for help too early will arouse their vigilance. So I need to send someone over to investigate now."
Having said this, Zuo Si suddenly paused, and a card emitting a black aura appeared in his hand.
The next second...
This card released a ball of dense black negative energy on the spot, instantly dropping the surrounding temperature to freezing point.
I saw a huge dragon lich appear out of nowhere in the spacious living room, even overturning some furniture, tables, chairs and the like.
"Where is this? What did you do to me?" Barrisriatt asked loudly and nervously.
It will never forget the horrifying sight of itself being surrounded and sealed by some force before losing consciousness.
"This is a private residence in the Land of the Dead, northeast of Baldur's Gate. As for what I did to you, you only need to search your own memory to find out."
Zuo Si stretched out a finger and tapped his temple gently.
In order to maximize the full potential of this dragon lich transformed from an ancient green dragon, he did not directly clear its memory like other summoned creatures, but retained it completely.
After all, what scares people the most about the green dragon is not its acid mist breathing, which ranks last among the five-colored evil dragons, nor its size, which is second only to the red dragon and is almost the same as the blue dragon.
Rather, it is their clever mind that is good at achieving their goals through deception, disguise and conspiracy.
In other words, all green dragons that have reached the age of "ancient dragon" are, without exception, the oldest of the old perverts.
"You...you turned me into some kind of summoned creature?"
After reading the memories that were added out of thin air by the planeswalker's ability, the entire dragon Barisriat was shocked and unbelievable.
He never dared to imagine in his dreams that there could be such unreasonable power in the world.
Zuo Si stared at the red light flashing wildly in the dragon lich's eyes, smiled and nodded: "That's right. From now on, I am your unquestionable master, and I have absolute control.
So don't try to escape or do anything secretly.
Because if I die, you will be buried with me.
Yelnia knows this very well. If you are interested, you can find a private time to talk to her.
Okay, enough of the nonsense.
I summoned you out because I need you to scout the terrain at the junction of the Troll's Roaring Forest and the High Wasteland.
I believe that with your spellcasting ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to disguise yourself as the green dragon you were in your previous life, right?"
"Of course, Master."
Barisriat bowed his head humbly, and then began to chant the magic spell unique to dragons.
Unlike the proud, brutal, cold and arrogant red dragons, green dragons are often thoroughgoing realists who do not care about the dignity of a dragon at all.
As long as they can defeat their opponent, they can do all kinds of insidious, unethical and cruel operations.
This means that when they realize that their lives are being controlled by another person, they will face the reality as quickly as possible and put themselves in the right place.
In contrast, the Red Dragon Wilmes has been trained for so long that he still retains a certain degree of resistance.
Especially when someone tries to touch her treasure, she will immediately burst into anger and resentment.
Although he was unable to resist due to the magical object controlling him, he must have been unwilling to accept it deep down.
Along with the sound of chanting spells, the dragon lich's body, which was only a skeleton, quickly grew strong muscles and emerald green scales.
However, under the effect of [True Knowledge], Zuo Si could clearly see that these so-called muscles and scales were just effects created by illusion magic and were not real at all.
"I'm leaving now. Do you have any other instructions?" Barrisriat asked cautiously.
Zuo Si gave a straightforward instruction: "Pay attention to whether there are any wizard activities around there, or signs of large groups of monsters and vampires gathering. If you find any, just write them down first, and try not to alarm them."
"Are these guys your enemies?"
Barrisriat was indeed a green dragon who was good at conspiracy and intrigue, and he immediately sensed the hint.
"Yes. They were planning to ambush me at that location, and I was planning to surprise them. It was fun, wasn't it?"
Zuo Si's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a chilling smile.
"It is indeed very interesting. Please rest assured that I will investigate everything clearly." The red light in Barrisriatt's eyes suddenly grew red.
Needless to say, this kind of conspiracy-filled "game" is exactly what he wants. It is many times more interesting than hiding in the cave of the Dragon Cult's lair all day.
Soon, this dragon lich that looked like a green dragon crushed the door frame, soared into the air in the yard outside, and disappeared into the night.
"Rain, a subordinate of the Lord of the Symbols Shangela, June Irenicus who was exiled from the elven city of Sodanisla, and the vampire queen Badi. You don't really think I know nothing, do you?"
Zuo Si picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, his tone full of naked and undisguised mockery.
Especially the combination of Rain and the [Staff of the Archmage] left a very deep impression in his memory.
With the huge advantage brought by information asymmetry, we can deal with it calmly no matter what conspiracy or tricks the other party is engaged in.
As for the so-called "Jade Society", Zuo Si never took it seriously from the beginning.
The reason is simple! Being suppressed by a second-rate spellcaster organization like the Masked Mage Guild, they can only move around in the dark like rats. Their strength and influence must be very limited.
And when necessary, you can go directly to the masked wizard to get people to help.
I believe that those high-ranking masked wizards would be very happy to bring people to wipe out these bastards who always go against them.
Just like that, sitting at the table in the living room on the first floor and drinking two pots of tea, Zuo Si quickly took out his spell book and began to learn four-ring magic, occasionally taking time to practice super magic skills.
As he had acquired enough knowledge from the vast collection of books in Candlekeep and confirmed the path he wanted to take in the future, his future had become bright.
The only thing that is lacking now may be the time to learn and digest this knowledge.
…
At the same time, in a wizard tower far away in Waterdeep in the north.
Elminster was gathered together with Khelben "Blackstaff", Lyra Silverhand, Elastre Silverhand, Storm Silverhand, and Simb, staring at the small card on the table with solemn and worried expressions.
Because they have conducted countless magical detections and explorations on this card, but have not obtained even a single bit of useful information.
What's even more outrageous is that no matter what kind of destructive spell is cast on this card, it cannot cause even the slightest damage to it.
Even spells like [Advanced Dispel Magic], [Great Disintegration], [Anti-Magic Field], and [Disintegration] are no exception.
I'm afraid the outside world would never have imagined that so many voters of the Magic Goddess and legendary spellcasters gathered together and were actually helpless against a small card.
"This is incredible! Where did this thing come from?" Leila asked first.
At this moment, this woman with long silver hair, who looks mature, wise and noble, has a face full of surprise and joy.
That’s right!
It's a surprise!
As one of the famous "Seven Sisters of the North", she is particularly interested in magic items and can even figure out the functions of most magic items just by taking a glance.
But today, this small card overturned Leila's understanding of magic.
Whether it was the energy acting on the cards or the skills that she had never seen before and could not understand, she had an urge to continue researching.
"I got it from a young man through exchange. It is what our goddess of magic wants to figure out, a kind of magic from another world." Elminster explained in a rather helpless tone.
Although he had long anticipated that Zuo Si must have something to rely on in order to dare to hand the cards to him, it would be extremely difficult to crack them.
But the problem is that we can’t find a breakthrough at all now.
The difficulty of cracking it has exceeded everyone's imagination.
"Young man? Are you talking about... the Chosen One of the Goddess of Poison and Disease Talona who has been rumored everywhere recently? What kind of person is he?"
Alastor's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
As the Lord of Silvermoon City, the Supreme Lady of the Silvermoon Alliance, and a famous "socialite" and "philatelist" in the North, her focus is obviously not on a card, but on the people who make and use these cards.
To be precise, any sufficiently talented person will arouse the "interest" or "sexual interest" of this "Ms. Hope".
According to legend, the number of men who have had intimate relations with Alustriel is almost enough to form an army, and the number of their children is so large that even sows would be ashamed of themselves.
Elminster obviously knew what his former apprentice was thinking, and replied with a wry smile: "His name is Soth, and he is a human boy who looks only ten years old.
However, through conversation, I found that his mental age was much more mature than he appeared.
But the strange thing is that according to the results of magical detection, the body is indeed ten years old.
He is also very calm, smart, and knowledgeable. He has his own unique insights into everything and has a strong desire for revenge.
Most importantly, he is not interested in the conflict between good and evil, order and chaos.
He is the kind of person who has no particular camp and is neither good nor evil.
He even completely disbelieves in the goddess who gave him power and the status of a chosen one.
Although I have never seen Soth in combat.
But according to intelligence gathered by the Harpers, the chaotic storm of magic he unleashed at Myratma may have been as destructive as legendary magic.
In addition, he can bypass the magic network and directly control the raw, chaotic and manic magical energy.
If you want to try to make contact with them, it's best to prepare a valuable gift in advance.
Otherwise, given his personality, Isolce will probably not treat you well."
"Sounds like an interesting young man?"
Alustriel's eyes lit up and he became obviously excited.
"But it is also dangerous!" Elminster warned in a serious tone. "Don't forget Sammaster's lesson. His fall was certainly due to his own character and psychological flaws, but your overly chaotic private life was also one of the triggers."
"Didn't you just say that Soth's body is only ten years old? No matter how chaotic my private life is, I would never harm a child. On the contrary, I just want to see this visitor from another world with my own eyes and appreciate his interesting soul." Elastro defended himself with an unhappy look on his face.
"If you just want to meet him, then you should be able to do so soon. The latest news is that Soth was recently banned from entering Baldur's Gate and is currently heading to Waterdeep by land."
Khelben "Blackstick" suddenly interjected.
"Forbidden from entering the city? Why? Are the dukes of Baldur's Gate crazy?"
Storm Silverhand showed an expression of extreme shock.
"I don't know what the Duke of Baldur's Gate thinks, but I know that given Isos's character, he will definitely take some degree of revenge. In addition, they also expelled all the priests of Talona and declared the worship of the goddess of poison and disease illegal. If nothing unexpected happens, a plague should break out in Baldur's Gate soon."
Elminster stroked his beard and gave his own judgment.
You know, even cities like Waterdeep and Silvermoon, which are ruled by the Chosen of the Magic Goddess and a large number of high-level wizards, dare not easily expel Talona's Church.
They are afraid of bringing about terrible retaliation and causing the deaths of a large number of innocent people.
The current behavior of the Dukes of Baldur's Gate is simply seeking death in various ways, and it is a big death at that.
"This is a big trouble. Should we intervene?" Leila asked with a slightly worried tone.
Baldur's Gate has close trade relations with Waterdeep, and she is worried that any retaliation against the former will affect the city beneath her feet.
Khelben "Blackstaff" shook his head without thinking: "This is Baldur's Gate's internal affairs. We have no reason to interfere. Moreover, those foolish dukes are openly humiliating a chosen person of a god. Not bringing down divine punishment is already quite restrained."
"Alas - it's really a troubled time. After Soth arrives in Waterdeep, I'll find a chance to talk to him. I hope this revenge won't affect too many innocent people."
Elminster sighed deeply.
I don't know if it's because he has lived for too long, but he has lost his previous enthusiasm to stand up and protect the weak and fight against evil and tyranny.
Even knowing that disasters will happen in many places, they will just stand by and watch.
"How long will it take Soth to reach Waterdeep?" Alustriel asked Khelben "Blackstaff".
The latter thought for a moment and quickly responded, "It will take at least eight days to cross the Trade Land to reach Dagger Beach. This is assuming no accidents. I think it will take at least ten days."
"In that case, let's wait ten days before discussing this matter. What should we do with it now? Should we try the legendary spell?"
Alustriel poked his finger at the cards on the test bench.
"I think we can give it a try."
Storm Queen Xinbu showed an eager expression.
Unfortunately, before she could take any action, Elminster took the card and put it in his own pocket.
"Don't even think about it! Since we have no clue, let's just hand it over to the great goddess of magic. Maybe she can figure out the mystery with her divine power and priesthood."
"Tsk! What a bummer."
Xinbu shook his head in disappointment.
As someone who once made a bet to see who could kill a hundred liches first, she was more violent than any other chosen one of the Goddess of Magic and liked to use powerful spells to blast her enemies into pieces.
A card that cannot be destroyed naturally aroused the Storm Queen's competitive spirit.
"Stop it. Do you want to blow up my wizard tower as well?"
Khelbourne "Blackstaff" couldn't help but grumble quietly.
Release powerful legendary magic in the Mage Tower?
That's something only a madman would do!
Although his wizard tower is much stronger than ordinary wizard towers, it definitely cannot withstand the bombardment of legendary magic.
