It is well known that arcane spellcasters, especially high-level wizards and warlocks, are often the most dangerous when melee occurs.

Because when they release high-level magic, they need to continuously draw astonishing energy from the surrounding magic network.

If this behavior continues for too long, it may usually lead to two most direct and serious consequences.

One is that the extraction speed exceeds the speed at which the magic network's energy is replenished, resulting in the magic network within a radius of hundreds of meters or even kilometers centered on the combat area being greatly weakened, and becoming a so-called "weak magic area" for a long time.

Until it fully recovers, any spells cast within the area will be weakened or fail.

Even more seriously, it might cause the magic network to completely collapse, creating a "dead magic zone" where all divine and arcane spells would be ineffective.

As for the other one, the collision and interweaving of a large number of different types of magic caused the rules that maintained the operation of the magic network to be broken, and countless original energies fell into an uncontrolled state of chaos, forming a "frenzy magic zone."

Although this one is not as serious as the previous one in theory, it is definitely the most terrible nightmare for the caster.

No one knows what effect casting a spell in a "mad magic area" will have.

Perhaps the most insignificant zero-level trick could trigger terrifying high-level spells such as time stop, great rupture, meteor explosion, delayed explosive fireball, etc., and it makes no distinction between friend and foe.

If you are not careful, you and your teammates may be killed together.

Of course, the lucky ones might "just" change their personality, grow a few more arms, legs and heads, or change their race from human to goblin, animal, insect, plant, etc., or their money and equipment might suddenly disappear.

Normally, when entering an area of ​​chaotic magic, almost all adventure teams and mercenary organizations would strictly warn the spellcasters in the team to absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not release even a single spell in order to prevent unforeseen accidents and disasters.

It can be said that except for those crazy wizards with mental problems who are not afraid of death at all, no rational spellcaster will start a spell duel in the crazy magic area.

But the problem is that although these clones of Manshoon have regained some consciousness, their instinct to obtain more fragments to make their souls more complete has not weakened, but has become stronger.

So when the nearby magic web was messed up, they not only had no intention of stopping, but continued to cast spells like crazy, trying to kill the last few of themselves.

As a result, when one of the clones released a protective magic, a door to another world suddenly opened, and then an extremely twisted and evil creature, whose appearance was similar to some variant of a beholder, appeared out of thin air.

The biggest difference between it and an ordinary eye demon is that, in addition to the many stalk eyes extending from its fleshy body, its lower part also has several thick and powerful tentacles and two devilishly sharp horns.

The largest main eye is constantly releasing indescribable distorted energy.

This is……

A demon beholder transformed by Eldrazi? No! That's not right!

It should be a demon beholder that has absorbed some of Ozachi's abilities!

The moment Zuo Si saw this thing, he immediately felt his scalp tingling.

There is no doubt that it is most likely the Mother of Eye Demons located in the sixth layer of the Abyss - the Ten Thousand Eyes Abyss, also known as the terrifying existence "Great Mother". It is a new type of Eye Demon created through the war between the Will of the Abyss and Ozachi.

You should know that this creator of all beholders in the entire multiverse has mated with a series of creatures that mortals cannot even imagine, including demons, Greeley corpses, and so on, and gave birth to countless deformed beholders.

Among them, Apos, the creator of the Greylai corpse demon, is even the creator of the Yug'groth demon.

As for the Yugoloth, it can be understood as a neutral evil demon between a chaotic demon and a lawful demon.

They are greedy and selfish creatures who occupy an absolute dominant position in the "Gorgy Hell" plane (Gorgy Hell is not part of the Nine Hells, but an independent plane), and are keen on engaging in trade and providing mercenary services.

No matter if it is a demon or a devil, as long as enough benefits are given, the Yug'groth will join as a mercenary without hesitation.

Of course, if the opponent can offer a higher price, they don't mind switching sides in an instant on the battlefield, fully demonstrating the distinctive characteristics of the neutral evil camp.

It is said that the Greeley Corpse Fiends are a unique offshoot created from the corpses of the Yug'groths.

However, Zuo Si has no experience in dealing with Yug'groths yet, and he doesn't know much about this race that can contend with demons and devils to a certain extent.

However, he realized from this new form of Eye Demon that was summoned unintentionally that the "upgraded bloody battle" he created with his own hands was spreading at an unimaginable speed.

Perhaps the Great Mistress and her Eye Demon Legion have reached an agreement with the Three Giants of the Abyss or even the Will of the Abyss itself, and have personally joined this war whose brutality and bloodiness are increasing exponentially.

After the twisted beholder appeared, it shot out a translucent magic ray from its main eye without saying a word, instantly hitting one of Manshoon's clones.

But surprisingly, the latter not only did not suffer any harm, but the injuries he suffered in the previous battle were actually healed.

Before the other Manson clones could react to what was happening, his chest suddenly exploded.

Bang! With a muffled sound, the heart, bones, flesh and blood gushed out instantly, reorganizing in the air at an unimaginable speed to form a red eyeball as big as an adult male's fist.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight thin tentacles extended from the eyeball and inserted into the clone's broken chest, eyes, nose, mouth and ears at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

After just three or five seconds, this guy's body and brain were completely twisted by the powerful force into a lump of flesh that cannot be described in words.

You can even see his hands and feet extending from the inside of the flesh, with creepy little eyeballs growing on the palms of his hands and feet.

There is no doubt that even for a "strange" creature like the Eye Demon, such an appearance is too bizarre and abstract.

What's more, the beholder-like monsters formed by Manshoon's clones are just deformed individuals created out of thin air by the summoned beholder.

"Damn it! What on earth is that thing?"

Fu Zuoer Chamberlain couldn't help shivering and his face became extremely ugly.

"I think it's better for you not to know."

Zuo Si responded in a very serious tone, which was very rare.

Because he was not sure whether these beholders or demon-like creatures that possessed the ability of Ozachi derivatives to distort other life forms were extremely rare cases or had begun to become a disaster.

If it is the latter, will it spread to other prime material planes and demiplanes with the magic of the conjuration system and the ritual of summoning demons? How powerful can they be? Will they be equivalent to the low-level slave beasts created by the Eldrazi Titans, or more advanced devourers, or monarchs who are capable of confronting the Abyss Lord head-on and even killing him?

Of course, the names of slave beasts, devourers and sovereigns are actually rough classifications of the strange creations of the three Titans by the ancient planeswalkers. They are neither accurate nor sufficient to accurately describe the power of these descendants of Odrachi.

Some of these seemingly insignificant slave beasts can even cause unimaginable damage to a world.

And it is entirely possible that the most powerful king or father will be devoured and absorbed by a vampire, and all of it will be converted into his own power.

While Zuo Si was talking to Fuzor Chamberlain, the Beholder had easily killed six of Manshoon's clones and transformed them into twisted and deformed Beholder-like creatures.

The last one left seemed to be no longer controlled by instinct because he had obtained all the remaining soul fragments, and even his eyes became clear and rational.

Seeing that this "Chicken Eating Contest" had finally come to an end, Zuo Si did not continue to hide in the dark and observe. He immediately activated the instant teleportation spell and directly cut into the battlefield from hundreds of meters away. He raised his hand and released a silver flame curtain to temporarily repair the chaotic magic web in the area.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the combination of [Flash], [Flash Cluster], [Flash Burst] and [Daylight] at the same time at lightning speed.

As the names of these spells suggest, all of them, without exception, are plastic magic that can instantly release energy-shaping magic that can blind a person's eyes.

Generally speaking, even the lowest level zero-ring [Flash Technique] is powerful enough to rival the effect of a flash bomb.

Not to mention super strong light like [Daylight] and [Flash Blast] which are countless times brighter than the midday sun.

In short, the white light released the moment the spell took effect completely engulfed everything around it.

The originally dark night was now illuminated as brightly as the center of the sun.

The result was as expected.

Whether it was the summoned demon beholder, the six beholder-like creatures it created with its own abilities, or the last surviving Manshoon clone, they were all exposed to the sudden strong light and temporarily lost consciousness, memory and judgment.

Zuo Si took the opportunity to activate the power of the Planeswalker Spark, directly enveloping a total of seven beholders.

The next second...

Having lost their ability to resist, they were sealed in a blank card.

When the white light faded, the only people left on the battlefield were Fuzzol Chamberlain, Manson's last clone, and Zuo Si himself, who was standing on the ground littered with corpses.

[Creature Card: Eye Demon - Distorted Eye]

[LV9 multi-card (upgradeable)]

[Card Quality: Precious]

[Effect: Summon a "Lord of the Distorted Eye" with a spellcasting level equivalent to a LV25 Warlock and six "Servants of the Distorted Eye" to serve you.

The former is one of the new forms of beholders that were born from repeated mating between the Beholder Mistress and a demon that had mixed Ozachi's abilities.

Although their numbers are extremely rare, they possess a power that surpasses that of the Eye of the Nest Mother and the Eye of the Elder.

This terrifying creature has one main eye and eighteen side eyes. In addition to common magic rays such as petrification, dissociation, death, hypnosis, charm, and immobilization, as well as the anti-magic force field provided by the main eye, it can also emit a special ability called "distortion rays".

This ability directly invades the target's mental world.

If one does not have an extremely firm will, he will instantly fall into madness, and begin to twist his soul until he changes from the inside out and becomes a "servant of the twisted evil eye."

A "Lord of the Distorted Eye" can fire distortion rays up to six times within twenty-four hours. Depending on the target's strength and occupational level, the abilities of the "Servants of the Distorted Eye" created will also be different.

If the opponent is a creature that is good at melee combat, then the "Servant of the Twisted Eye" will take on a form that is better at melee combat; if it is a spellcaster, then it will retain some of its best magic in the form of spell-like abilities.

The "Lord of the Twisted Eye" can create an unlimited number of "Servants of the Twisted Eye", but can only establish connections with a maximum of six and achieve 100% absolute control.

Once this number is exceeded, a "Servant of the Twisted Eye" will randomly detach and madly attack any creature it encounters.

The "Lord of the Distorted Eye" can understand any language you speak and completely obey every command given until it is killed or actively cancels the summons.

However, the "Servant of the Distorted Eye" cannot communicate directly and can only be controlled indirectly through the former.]

[Using this card requires 25 blue mana and 20 black mana, or 45 universal mana]

[When the summoned "Lord of the Distorted Eye" is killed, the remaining "Servants of the Distorted Eye" will fall into frenzy and even kill each other. When the last one dies, the card will automatically enter the graveyard and wait for rebirth. The time is 60 days.]

"It turns out that their number is extremely small and the target of distortion has to pass the consciousness assessment. For the time being, the harm should not be too great. However, this also reminds me that I must pay close attention to the progress of this war."

Zuo Si looked at the detailed instructions on the card and stroked his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

He suddenly began to realize that the war between the Abyss Will and the Odrachi Titans was spreading much faster than expected.

In particular, when both sides devour each other, learn from each other's strengths and then continue to evolve, it will, to a certain extent, give birth to more powerful types of demons.

Even the Great Mistress of the Eye Demons created new Eye Demons based on this, not to mention the demons blessed by the will of the abyss.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the two sides are now in a stalemate, with most of the main forces concentrated in the triple realm, so that the demon lords have no time to carry out their previous evil plans to invade various main material planes.

“You… who are you?”

The last clone of Manson suddenly came back to his senses from his dizzy state and immediately asked with a wary look on his face.

It was not difficult to tell from his slightly puzzled eyes that there seemed to be a big problem with his memory, so much so that he couldn't even recognize the enemy who killed him.

But it's no wonder.

Originally, less than one-tenth of the soul passed through the plane channel at the moment of death, and it was broken into countless small parts and poured into hundreds of clones.

It's a miracle that they still remember who they are after getting together again and don't go crazy.

"Why, don't you remember me? I'm one of your best friends."

Zuo Si put away the cards, gently tapped the [Skull of Manshoon] hanging on his belt, then took out a robe with a smile and draped it over the naked body of the clone.

Yes!

You read that right!

Manson's clones were all naked and fighting each other with their bare butts for a long time.

"friend..."

The clone's eyes revealed deep confusion, as if he wanted to search his memory for everything about the young man in front of him, but the result was blank.

And I don't know why, but when I see that black skull, I always feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness.

Just when he was about to ask a few more questions, Fuzor Chamberlain finally came over and asked hurriedly, "Where is that terrifying and weird eye demon and its creation?"

"I have properly resolved the issue. Now, you should pay more attention to this old friend of yours. His mental state looks a little bad, and he seems to have forgotten many things." Zuo Si hinted meaningfully.

moment!

Fuzor Chamberlain then remembered that there was a clone of Manson beside him, and immediately pretended to be concerned and asked: "My dear friend, how do you feel now? Do you need me to treat you?"

"Uh—are you my friend too?"

The Manshoon clone was obviously confused by this enthusiastic attitude and quickly asked back in an uncertain tone.

"Bane, the Great!

You don't even remember me? We've been friends since we were little!

Moreover, both Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim have grown to their current size under our joint leadership!"

Fuzzol Chamberlain held the right hand of Manson's clone tightly, his eyes full of "true feelings".

Of course, this isn't actually lying.

Because he had formed a secret alliance with Manshoon a long time ago, and eliminated the lords who were in deep conflict in Zhentil Keep at that time. One of them controlled secular power and the other controlled religious power, which became an important fulcrum for the survival and expansion of the city.

"I'm sorry, I...I really don't remember anything."

Manshoon's clone covered his face with his hands, revealing a look of pain.

Taking advantage of the moment when his attention was diverted, Zuo Si quietly injected some spiritual essence into the broken soul.

After a while, the poor guy fell into a deep sleep in a trance.

Fuzor Chamberlain was quick to hold him in his arms, grinning and asking, "What do you think is the probability that I can train this clone of Manshoon into a loyal subordinate?"

“Probably half and half.

You have to understand that he inherited a part of Manshoon's soul after all, so he is very talented in planning conspiracies and tricks.

My advice is that you'd better keep some tricks in case this guy finds out the truth in the future and secretly plans a revenge against you.

In addition, the spiritual essence I just injected will replenish the entire soul within the next three days.

There will be some unpredictable changes in his character by then.

The more care and concern you show for him at this time, the closer he will be to you.

So go for it, I look forward to watching you grow this clone into a completely different Manshoon."

After saying this, a hint of imperceptible mockery suddenly flashed in Zuo Si's eyes, and then he activated the teleportation magic and disappeared without a trace.

As for Fuzor Chamberlain, after searching several hiding places of the clones and confirming that no one had escaped, he returned to his residence in Zhentil Castle and planned to play the "Good Friend" development game.

But this guy didn't notice that there seemed to be something wrong with the unconscious Mansonk clone. He would always subconsciously grab his hand and hug his waist...

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zuo Si.

At that moment, he was standing on the ruined street of Zhentil Castle, staring in amazement at the succubus loli and a woman covered in blood kneeling in front of him.

Moreover, this woman had vaguely established a weak connection of faith with herself.

"??????????"

What the hell is this?

Since he became the lord of the newly born ninth level of hell and possessed a unique form of great devil, he could essentially be classified as a quasi-divine being, able to accept the faith and worship of mortals and be granted corresponding divine arts and magical powers.

But the problem is that Zuo Si didn't remember spreading faith in the continent of Faerun at all, and he had no plans or intentions in this regard. He just did a small test with Atona.

But now, the number of his believers has increased from one to two.

"Great Lord of Truth, I am an ignorant, foolish and lost lamb, and I long for your wise guidance."

Selul prostrated himself on the ground, then raised his head and stared at the "great being" standing in front of him with hopeful eyes.

As a paladin who once worshipped Tyr, the god of justice, she knew very well that creatures that could establish a stable faith connection with mortals were basically either gods or some powerful divine-like power.

So the petite and cute loli next to her was not lying.

Maybe she could really get an answer that would make her no longer confused and miserable.

"Atona, what did you do to her?"

Zuo Si turned his head and stared at the little succubus who maintained her human appearance, and asked in an uncertain tone.

"I didn't do anything. I just couldn't bear to see this holy warrior sister suffer such great mental torture, so I gave her some help and advice to the best of my ability."

Atona explained with her usual innocent look on her face.

Because of the connection of faith, it is easy to judge that the succubus Loli is not lying, she really wants to help the other party...

etc!

Paladin?!

Zuo Si suddenly came to his senses and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Have you fallen?"

"Yes, I have fallen and no longer believe in goodness and order.

Because it cannot give a clear answer to the pain and confusion in my heart.

And I realized that justice could not save the people of Zhentil Keep, let alone the slaves who had already tasted the bitterness of suffering but still wanted to use violence to hurt others.

I sincerely beg you to let me know where I went wrong.

Why did my good intentions end up creating such terrible chaos and disaster? "

While saying this, Selul's whole body was shaking slightly uncontrollably. One of her hands was tightly grasping the holy emblem of Tyr, the god of justice. Even when her skin and muscles were cut and bleeding, she did not show any sign of relaxing.

"I see. I think I understand what's going on."

Relying on the connection of faith, Zuo Si easily figured out the cause and effect of the whole matter.

It was nothing more than this idealistic young female paladin who wanted to use her status as an officer to rescue the oppressed slaves in the city while the evil were killing each other.

Then they distributed food, weapons and armor to them, intending to organize them and wait for an opportunity to seize control of Zhentil Keep and completely change the face of this notorious city on the continent of Faerun.

But Selour made a mistake that all idealists make.

That is to imagine human nature to be too beautiful, believing that when slaves regain their freedom, they will definitely be willing to fight alongside themselves and sacrifice everything, even their lives, for a better tomorrow.

But what actually happened? Once these slaves got their weapons and armor, they immediately changed from victims to perpetrators, and began to kill, rob, and rape uncontrollably, even sparing children under the age of ten.

The entire situation got completely out of control in less than ten minutes.

No one cared about the holy knight Serul, and no one was willing to listen to her leadership and orders, which eventually turned into a horrific riot.

In order to uphold the justice in his heart, Selul had no choice but to draw his sword against these slaves, killing a large number of the suffering people he was meant to rescue.

In addition, she witnessed the arrival of the incarnation of the god of justice Tyr, but he did not give her any help or guidance. She finally collapsed completely under a series of questioning from the succubus loli and embarked on the path of depravity.

In fact, at this point, even without Atona, Celul's fall was only a matter of time.

Because this is not a shake of faith in the ordinary sense, but a serious conflict between cognition and cruel reality.

After figuring this out, Zuo Si said with a hint of emotion, "I think you must be confused as to why the slaves who should be helped and rescued according to the teachings of the God of Justice suddenly turned into a group of terrible thugs, right?"

"Yes."

Celul nodded seriously, with strong anticipation flashing in her eyes.

“The reason is actually very simple, you confuse the concepts of victims and good people.

Perhaps all perpetrators are evil, but victims are not necessarily kind.

I don't deny that there are definitely many innocent and kind people among them, but there are definitely some lunatics whose hearts have been completely consumed by hatred after suffering long-term torture and abuse.

The anger of these people is like a volcano about to erupt. Once they get a weapon, they will not even think of running away. Instead, they are eager to kill those who have hurt them in the most cruel way, raping their wives and daughters in front of their enemies, and killing their relatives, friends, and pets.

Given that most slaves had been forced to suppress their emotions for years, as long as someone stood up and incited them a little, a terrifying herd effect would soon form.

Even if there are some kind-hearted people who cannot bear the consequences, they will be swept away by the group in this situation.

Once their hands are forced to be stained with blood and they taste the intense sensory stimulation and pleasure brought by violence, they will inevitably fall in the end.

In fact, human nature often has two sides.

Especially when falling from good to evil, in many cases, it only takes opening the shackles of morality and releasing the desires and animality in one’s heart.”

Zuo Si used very simple and direct language to explain the reason why the other party failed to rescue the slaves this time.

Serul's face turned pale instantly, and then he asked, "Then what do you think should be done to avoid similar situations?"

Zuo Si answered very straightforwardly: "It's very simple.

When such signs were discovered, the ringleaders were immediately pulled out from the crowd, killed in public, and strict discipline was announced.

Then select those who are willing to follow you from the crowd as lower-level officers and build the simplest command and control system.

In this way, when the reward and punishment mechanism was established, this slave uprising army also gained order.

They are no longer a mob and thugs, but an army that can seize power."

"But...but if we do as you say, wouldn't it be violating the Paladin's principle of lawful goodness from the very beginning?" Selul was obviously still a little conflicted.

Zuo Si chuckled and shook his head: "Haha, a paladin who advocates justice, kindness and order is certainly worthy of respect.

But please forgive me for being blunt.

In many cases, the strict requirement that they must not be stained with even the slightest stain is like an invisible shackle that restricts them to a very limited range.

If you really want to do something to change the world, don't choose to be a paladin.

Especially when it comes to rescuing slaves and leading them to overthrow the existing regime, many actions that tend toward lawful evil must be taken in order to win.

For example, violently suppressing slave leaders who wanted to start a riot.

For example, slaves were trained into qualified soldiers through strict discipline and were prohibited from engaging in anything related to plunder.

If you still don't understand, think about the difference between the Church of Tyr, the god of justice, and the Harpers.

Although in the eyes of many people, they represent kindness and justice itself.

But in fact, the former pursues procedural justice, that is, conviction must be achieved through collecting evidence and conducting trials.

The advantage of doing this is that it is not easy to wrongly accuse any good person, but the disadvantage is that it will allow many cunning criminals to go unpunished.

In contrast, the latter pursues outcome justice.

That is, no matter what means are used, as long as the evildoers' plans can be ruined and their leaders can be killed, it will be fine.

To this end, assassination, poisoning, lying and exploiting others are all permitted.

The advantage of this approach is that it does not require a series of cumbersome procedures such as investigation, evidence presentation, and trial.

As long as it is confirmed that a person deserves to die, action can be taken against him immediately.

But the disadvantage is that their approach completely disregards law and order, and can easily cause widespread panic and social unrest, as well as people's distrust of the ability of law enforcement officers in a country or city.

No matter how it is beautified, the Harpist's actions must be classified as vicious and violent crimes.

Furthermore, due to the loose decentralized management within the Harpists, the person in charge of each region has extremely high authority.

Many times, they can directly determine a person's life or death based on a piece of information whose reliability is unknown.

But who can guarantee that among these so-called villains, there are not one or two poor people who were killed by mistake due to misjudgment? In addition, the Harpist's extreme actions often cause collateral damage.

Ask those who have been used by them how they feel, and you will understand why the Harpers, although they do more good things, are still despised and disliked by so many people.

So in my opinion, lawful good is too restrictive and it is difficult to make disruptive changes to the existing status quo.

The chaotic camp is too arbitrary and will keep society in a state of turmoil. They do not understand the importance of maintaining order.

Only lawful evil can build a stable social order and also give rulers enough skills and power to solve various problems and threats. "

"I think I understand a little bit!"

Celul threw away the blood-stained holy emblem in her hand, feeling her heart beating violently. After a full minute, she spoke: "You mean that order is necessary, but evil is only a means, not a result. When you want to do something you think is right, don't worry about whether your behavior in the process is good or evil. As long as the final result meets your expectations, it is considered a success."

"That's right! This is also the reason why most of the upper-level rulers in the entire Faerun continent are lawful evil.

Politics is an art of compromise, but it is also a reflection of the dirtiest and ugliest side of human nature.

A good person in the traditional sense cannot become a qualified player in this game.

Therefore, those outstanding rulers who are truly praised by the people are actually those who use evil means to do good things.

They will use whatever means necessary to suppress voices of resistance, suppress or even kill their political opponents, and promote policies that they believe will bring economic prosperity.

Economic prosperity benefits everyone.

Believe me, for the people, nothing makes them happier than seeing their lives getting better day by day. "

After saying this, Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers, cleaning the large amount of dried and hardened blood on the body of the female fallen paladin.

“Thanks for your advice!

Not only did I understand where I went wrong, I also understood what path I should take in the future.

From today on, I am your most devout believer and will take it as my responsibility to spread your teachings and beliefs.

All rulers should listen more to your inspiring voice and understand your wise theories."

Selul was trembling with excitement. She held up Zuo Si's hand, knelt on the ground and kissed it affectionately.

After a while, the faith connection extending from her became clearer, and then a ball of [Evil Aura] fell from the sky, and with it appeared the [Dark Blessing].

Needless to say, this fallen paladin has completely turned into a dark guard who believes in Zuo Si, which is the opposite of a paladin.

After falling, most paladins will choose to become dark guards rather than other professions based on their lawful nature.

After all, the higher the level of the paladin before the fall, the stronger the additional abilities gained after becoming a dark guard after the fall.

"Tell me your name, Believer."

Zuo Si stared at this second woman who established a faith connection, feeling both amused and annoyed.

He still couldn't believe that he had accidentally poached the God of Justice Tyr.

You must know that every paladin has a soul as precious as gold, whether it is holy or fallen into darkness.

Since the other party has come to us on his own initiative, there is no reason to let him go.

"My full name is Celul Dark Hope."

The woman gave her first and last name without hesitation.

Especially when her last name was mentioned, she clearly showed strong resistance.

"Selul Dark Hope?!"

A look of surprise appeared on Zuo Si's face, and he instantly associated a series of things with the name.

If I remember correctly, if he had not appeared in person, this fallen paladin would have led a group of subordinates to rise rapidly after Cyric completely destroyed Zhentil Keep and became the actual controller of this devastated city.

However, because she was targeted by a pit fiend named Ogus, Selul Darkhope soon fell into the trap carefully set by the former and eventually became the dark guard who resurrected the god of tyranny, Bane.

For a long time, she was the second in command after Fuzol Chamberlain. Not only was she an excellent fighter, she was also an excellent commander and lord.

Found a treasure!

After figuring out the value of Serul, Zuo Si immediately showed a very friendly smile, raised his hand and gently stroked the other's cheek and slender white neck, and then whispered in her ear: "Serul Anji, your destiny is destined to be extraordinary. Now I grant you the power from hell, I hope you can use it well."

As the last word came out of his mouth, a mark unique to Zuo Si was directly imprinted deep in the soul of the fallen paladin.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of energy from the ninth level of hell flowed through the fingertips and was continuously injected into the armor, weapons, body and soul.

In less than half a minute, the metal armor on Selul turned dark black with dark red patterns.

The sword in his hand even took on the flames of hell that carried foul and harmful effects.

As for the physical changes, they are relatively small, with only a complex pattern similar to a hexagram appearing on the invisible back.

After all this was over, Selul slowly opened his eyes, feeling the amazing power filling his body, and once again said in an impassioned tone: "My Lord, please allow me to express my most sincere gratitude to you. Your generous gift is a grace that I will never be able to repay in my lifetime. The only thing I can do is to sacrifice myself and become your messenger in this world."

"Go ahead and do whatever you want to do and think is right. I look forward to your surprise."

After saying that, Zuo Si casually summoned a purgatory horse and gave it to his dark guard as a mount.

Selul stood up, placed one hand on his chest and bowed, then he jumped on his horse and galloped towards the outside of the city.

She had completely lost interest in the city of Zhentil Keep and planned to travel to other places in Faerun to see if she could find a suitable ruler to spread the knowledge and ideas she had learned today.

After watching the young woman disappear into the night, Atona came over and asked, "Master, is Celul also your believer like me?"

"Ah! Yes.

But she chose another path.

To be honest, I don't know how far she can go, let alone what she can achieve.

But it doesn't matter.

Compared to what she could have achieved while alive, I am more looking forward to what surprises her soul will bring when she goes to hell after her death."

After saying that, Zuo Si touched the succubus Loli's little head and at the same time sent a retreat signal to Wilmes who was still keen on robbery.

After the Infernal Red Dragon reluctantly came back dragging a box full of treasures, they activated the teleportation magic and returned to the Mage Tower in Askatla.

But he did not stay for too long, and immediately set off for the hazy realm, intending to test the mysterious ancient god of death, Jaeger...
