Late at night, at the door of a house in the Athkatla Bridge area.

Rain was carefully using her [Mystical Vision] to observe the magical auras that ordinary people could not see.

After repeatedly confirming which places were safe and which places were covered with extremely terrifying lethal spells, he gently tapped the hidden runes near the door lock.

moment!

The door that was originally tightly closed opened automatically with a click.

Without any hesitation!

She directly pulled out a valuable "Thief's Stone" from her pocket and approached the dark door.

Immediately afterwards, the hidden teleportation spell was triggered, wrapping up the entire person.

Due to the magical shielding, the energy fluctuations emitted by the transmission did not disturb the induction barrier set up by the Masked Mages Guild in this city.

In the blink of an eye, Rain returned from Athkatra to her base under Calimshan.

To be precise, it is the lair of Shangela, the Lord of Symbols.

At this moment, this powerful legendary lich was sitting at a table, looking at the information just delivered by his subordinates with great interest.

After a full minute, he asked without turning his head, "You came all the way here through the secret portal. Do you have any important progress to report to me?"

"Yes, mentor. I have successfully controlled the Emerald Society and successfully concluded an alliance with Soth. This is some knowledge about the other world that I obtained from him through an exchange not long ago."

As she spoke, Rain took out the notebook from her bosom and presented it to him with both hands.

Needless to say, she had already used the past few days to read all the contents inside, and was even eager to learn and try out the techniques of making strange objects and magical items.

But unfortunately, as a summoned creature, she has lost the ability to upgrade her career level and various magical skills. She can no longer make herself stronger by learning various knowledge. She can only wait for her master Zuo Si to upgrade the card level.

This is why the "follower" cards, which have the ability to learn and upgrade their levels independently, are higher level than other summoned creatures.

It’s a pity that Zuo Si, who is at the LV8 level of Planeswalker, has not yet learned the ability to create follower cards.

In other words, his "spark" wasn't strong enough.

"A notebook?"

As expected, Shangela became very excited and was obviously very interested in what was recorded in it.

After he took it, he didn't hesitate for even a second, and immediately opened it and read it carefully word by word.

With his powerful intelligence and the rich magical knowledge accumulated over hundreds of years, the lich quickly finished reading all the contents of the notebook, while his mind was working rapidly to understand the techniques he had never heard of before.

After about half an hour, Shangela finally burst into laughter without any warning: "Hahaha! Interesting! It's so interesting! It turns out that Soth's powerful ability to create magic items comes from a special profession called [Creator] in another world.

This profession can not only extract and shape various substances and energies, and then perform semi-permanent enchantments on them, but can even give magical items wisdom and soul.

As the name suggests, he is a genuine creator.

Unfortunately, most of the magical energy in this world is controlled by the magic network woven by the Goddess of Magic, and it is not easy to extract pure original energy.

But it doesn’t matter, I can create an independent demiplane through magic…”

Looking at Shangela's slightly excited mental state, Rain knew that her master's sinister plan had succeeded.

Because she knew very well that her mentor was essentially a guy who liked to pursue excitement and novelty, completely different from most gloomy and indifferent liches.

So after getting that knowledge, I will try it regardless of the consequences.

If he fails to stop at the critical moment and accidentally obtains a creator level, this powerful Lord of Symbols will instantly lose all spellcasting abilities and become a pitiful creature on the chopping block to be slaughtered at will.

Of course, things would become even more interesting if Shangela then shared this knowledge with other Talisman Masters, causing them to also lose their ability to cast spells.

You must know that from the establishment of the Entanglement Symbol until now, except for the accidental death of the first generation of leaders that caused a brief chaos, it has always been the Symbol Masters who have plotted against others, and no one else has ever successfully plotted against the Symbol Master.

But now…

Zuo Si did this.

Not long after, Rain took the reward given to her by her mentor, a book containing the legendary magic [Mummy Dust], and returned to Athkatla by touching the portal rune.

This spell is a relatively simple entry-level spell among many legendary magics.

Any arcane or divine spellcasting profession with a spellcasting level of LV21 can easily learn and use it as long as they do not regard the Undead as an opposing faction.

As for [Mummy Dust], the effect is also very simple, which is to permanently create one or two large mummy warriors whose strength is close to that of legendary creatures, but the premise is that it cannot exceed the upper limit of undead creatures that the caster's own casting level can control.

You can also equip the mummy warriors with some magic weapons and armor, turning them into loyal bodyguards, guards and thugs.

Needless to say, the reason why Shangela gave such a book to his most trusted disciple was to prepare him for the final step.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that Rain had already lost the possibility of taking the last step.

Unless Zuo Si is willing to spend a lot of mana to upgrade the cards, he will always be stuck at the final stage.

…

At the same time, far away in the "deep sea" seventeen layers underground in Waterdeep City, Erron was leading a troop arriving on an astral spaceship and was launching a fierce attack on the stronghold established by the "mortal enemy" Mind Flayer.

Countless slaves were burned to charred corpses under the red dragon's flames!

The mind flayers that controlled them were also chopped into pieces one after another by the knight's silver sword, and finally turned into lifeless corpses lying on the ground.

Without a doubt!

This is a revenge action specially organized by the Githyanki in retaliation for the mind flayers destroying their nursery base built in the star port.

Unfortunately, no one knew that the so-called Mind Flayer destroying the starport base was just a lie carefully fabricated by Erron.

The real "culprit" Zuo Si had already left Waterdeep and returned to Amn.

After all living creatures in the stronghold were slaughtered, the Githyanki immediately began searching around, as if looking for something.

After about ten minutes, a senior Red Dragon Knight in the lead cursed in a low voice with a gloomy expression: "Damn it! The lost silver sword is not here! It must have been taken to a deeper place by those Mind Flayers."

"What should we do? Should we continue chasing? With our limited military strength, I'm afraid the success rate of conquering a large Mind Flayer city controlled by the Mastermind won't be very high."

Another relatively young knight asked back in an uncertain tone.

The senior knight in the lead thought for a moment and quickly shook his head: "We can't continue chasing. Our goal is to regain control of the star port and the sixteenth floor. Now we have exceeded the mission. The rest of the matter will be left to the professional Silver Sword Retrieval Team."

"Understood!"

The young knight immediately turned around and gave the order to the other warriors, psions, and other arcane spellcasters to retreat.

Not long after, they retreated back to the starport through the portal in an orderly manner.

Before boarding the magic ship and sailing to the astral realm, the senior knight did not forget to leave behind two knights and their red dragons, twenty warriors and psychic warriors, and four spellcasters as temporary guards.

As for Erron, the traitor, he was promoted to the supreme commander of the star port as expected.

Then, in the next few days, the Githyanki base in the astral plane quickly sent a batch of eggs from other bases in the material world.

Since it takes several years from incubation to growth, there are currently no corresponding instructors.

Looking at the star port that was operating again and the adult male red dragon assigned to protect the safety of the base, Erron showed a meaningful smile on his face, and quickly used the [Short Message Technique] to report everything that happened here to Zuo Si.

Not only that!

He also took advantage of his position to secretly build two two-way portals and hid one of them in his room.

As for the other one, you don’t need to ask to know that it was specially prepared for Zuo Si.

When the latter comes to the Underworld next time, he can bring this portal back to the Mage Tower and achieve barrier-free teleportation between the two places.

In addition, Erron also took the opportunity to get close to those knights, psychic warriors and spellcasters with higher professional levels, so as to lower their guard and prepare for future poisoning.

If nothing unexpected happens, this starport base used by the Githyanki to hatch and raise offspring will soon become someone's property.

Similarly, after receiving the message, Zuo Si, who was far away in the Mage Tower of Askatra, immediately stroked his chin and revealed a playful smile, muttering to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Has the starport resumed operation? The Githyanki are really quick. It seems that I have to take some time to go to the sixteenth floor of the Underworld."

"Master, the young woman you brought back woke up a few minutes ago and is now trying to break down the door."

The consciousness of the Mage Tower suddenly reminded through the mental connection.

"Finally woke up. The fainting effect and duration of this alchemical poison are really long." Zuo Si complained in a low voice.

I don't know who made the alchemical poison that Farthington Ronor fed to the wild elf. The dosage and effect are obviously problematic. It's simply too amateurish.

As a result, the latter remained in a coma for several days, like a puppet at the mercy of others.

At first, Zuo Si was planning to use the Chosen One's ability to absorb the toxin and wake it up, but before he could take action, he was interrupted by Isadora who came to ask him about magic. As a result, he simply forgot about it and left it to the little werewolves to take care of it, completely forgetting about it.

Because in the past two days, he had just used the reward obtained from the scroll of Netheril to successfully upgrade to a first-level archmage, and by permanently sacrificing a sixth-ring arcane slot, he gained the advanced arcane ability - [Form Control].

This ability allows the caster to gain powerful control over the manifestation and range of spells.

You can even create a completely unaffected area at the moment of casting a spell as needed to ensure that large-scale lethal magic does not accidentally hurt teammates.

Let’s take the simplest example.

In the past, releasing the three-ring [Fireball] would directly cover a circular area with a radius of six meters, with no control or choice at all.

However, after possessing the archmage's advanced arcane ability - [Form Control], Zuo Si can freely change the fireball into cone-shaped, fan-shaped, column-shaped, diffuse, spreading, explosive and other shapes.

If there are teammates or summoned creatures within the range of the fireball, he can also use form control to make this small area completely free of fire.

And this ability can be applied to all arcane magic made into planeswalker cards.

Without a doubt!

[Morphology Control] is widely used in actual combat.

Especially in a narrow space, it is often possible to avoid harming one's own people while inflicting unimaginable damage to the enemy to the maximum extent possible.

It was because of his obsession with testing the limits of [Form Control] that Zuo Si ignored the wild elf still in the wizard tower.

But now that he was awake, he just wanted to talk to the other party about the topic of "revenge".

You have to know that the wild elves' values ​​and inclinations towards good and evil are basically not much different from those of the barbarian tribes. They all advocate the primitive practice of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

As for the laws enacted by the city and the country, they are usually completely ignored.

Following the spiral staircase inside the Mage Tower, Zuo Si quickly came from the upper level to the lower area.

Before they could get closer, they saw Fangus and other little werewolves gathered at the door, staring at the door that kept making loud noises and vibrations.

Unfortunately, all the doors in the Mage Tower have a layer of iron plate in the middle, and are stuck in the groove from top to bottom. They can only be opened or closed with the help of the tower's own independent consciousness.

If you want to force your way in, unless you have the strength of a giant, it is basically impossible to force your way through with brute force.

"Master, do you need our help?" Fangs asked eagerly.

It can be seen that she has learned a lot of fighting skills recently and is now looking for an opponent to test her strength.

But Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "Forget it. This elf lady is not our enemy, so you and your companions should still do what you should do. Don't forget, the monthly exam will be in two days. If anyone fails, they will have to take compulsory tutoring for a week without any entertainment activities."

"Ah? Damn it! I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it!"

The werewolf girl's face changed instantly. She didn't care about anything else and quickly ran towards her room.

The other little werewolves had similar reactions, with terrified expressions on their faces as if the world was coming to an end.

Of course, for these "primary school losers", the exam is really no different from the end of the world.

Reading and writing the common language is not difficult because at least there is a language environment around them. Plus, they are not very old, so it is not very difficult to learn.

But the performance in arithmetic was a complete disaster.

Except for a few smart ones, the rest could just about get by when learning addition and subtraction, but were instantly confused when it came to multiplication and division.

People like Fangus, who have put all their talents in combat, have to use their fingers every time they need to make slightly complicated calculations, and they wish they could take off their shoes and socks and use their toes as well.

As for geography and knowledge of plants and animals, they are taught by a hired ranger teacher.

Since it is not as abstract as mathematics, I have learned it quite well overall.

The so-called examination was a comprehensive assessment arranged by Zuo Si, which included both written and practical tests.

The best students will be rewarded with money, magic items, weapons, equipment, etc., while those who fail or rank last will be severely punished.

As an Earthling who had experienced terrible internal circulation, Zuo Si directly copied the methods he learned during his student days to the continent of Faerun and used them to teach these little werewolves.

If he didn't "roll" hard now while he was still a minor, how could he gain a foothold and become a strong man in this dangerous world in the future? Although the process of forced learning was painful, he believed that one day in the future, these little guys would thank him.

Because knowledge is something that no matter how much you learn, it is never too much, and you never know when it might come in handy.

Watching the little wolves run back to their rooms to prepare for the exam two days later, Zuo Si couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic and relieved smile on his face, and then shouted through the door: "Stop! Don't bang it! You can't break this kind of door. And I'm not your enemy. Why don't you save your energy and then we can talk face to face."

The banging sound on the door that was still going on a second ago suddenly stopped, and everything seemed to have returned to calm.

Seeing that the wild elf accepted his proposal, Zuo Si immediately gave the consciousness of the Mage Tower an order to open the door.

moment!

The tightly closed door slowly rose up under the influence of magic.

When they were halfway through the drive, a black bear over two meters tall suddenly rushed out and pounced towards Zuo Si.

Needless to say, this black bear must have been transformed from the wild elf.

All druids will gain a special ability called [Natural Transformation] when they reach level 5, which allows them to transform into various small and medium-sized animals.

Unfortunately, she obviously didn't know that she was in a wizard tower.

Attacking an arcane spellcaster in a mage tower is undoubtedly the most reckless and stupid thing to do.

What’s more, Zuo Si’s tower is an intelligent tower with independent consciousness and thinking ability.

Just as the black bear was about to rush over the threshold, a huge hand made of energy appeared out of nowhere and slapped the black bear hard on the head.

Bang! Bang! With a crisp sound and a violent impact, the black bear flew backwards for several meters and finally hit a solid wall.

The whole bear seemed to have been beaten stupidly. It sat on the ground for a long time without coming to its senses.

You don't need to ask to know that the Mage Tower just cast the sixth-ring magic [Big Bai Fei High Five].

Since the spellcasting problem of the smart tower was taken into consideration during the design, Zuo Si used his ability as a creator to carve a large number of advanced magic runes in the core area of ​​the Mage Tower.

Therefore, when the Mage Tower confirms that a target is a threat, it will immediately draw energy and select the spell it thinks is most suitable to release.

fortunately!

[Big Bait High Five] Strictly speaking, it is not a damaging spell.

Therefore, the elf druid who transformed into a black bear did not suffer too serious injuries. He was just a little dizzy from the collisions and falls.

After a while, she recovered from the intense dizziness and stared at the short human who walked in from the door with her two pale yellow eyes.

"Okay, relax. Didn't I just say that I'm not your enemy? Besides, if I really wanted to do something to you, I would have done it while you were unconscious."

As Zuo Si spoke, he found a chair and sat down.

But in the eyes of "Fruikong", this is just an enlarged version of a black hamster.

He even reached out to rub the back of "Little Bear"'s head which had just been hit.

Maybe he sensed kindness, or maybe he found that the black bear he turned into was unable to do anything to the other party.

In short, the wild elf druid finally let down her guard, quickly canceled the natural transformation, and returned to the appearance of a petite girl. She carefully asked in a slightly stiff common language: "Where is this place? Who are you? Why did I fall into your hands?"

“我叫索斯，若你所见是一名法师，而这里就是我的法师塔。至于你为什么会在这里，其实答案很简单，是法辛顿·罗诺尔把你作为礼物送给我的。”

左思没有任何掩饰，大大方方把所有的实情都说了出来。

通过事先加持的二环魔法【侦测思想】，他能够清晰感受到眼前的精灵少女此刻有多么紧张、恐惧和无助。

刚才变成黑熊袭击，实际上是在极度害怕情况下做出的应激反应。

“什么？你跟那个卑鄙无耻的人类是一伙的？”

精灵少女瞬间变得无比愤怒，眼神中迸射出赤裸裸毫不掩饰的仇恨。

左思连忙摆了摆手解释道：“不，我想你误会了。把你送给我当礼物仅仅只是法辛顿·罗诺尔的个人行为，他试图通过这种方式来讨好我。在此之前，我甚至都不认识他。”

“那你会放我离开，对吗？”精灵少女用不是很确定的语气试探道。

“当然。你是自由的，随时都可以选择离开。

不过在此之前，我想问一句，你该不会就想要这样直接打上门去找法辛顿·罗诺尔报仇吧？ 那样做的话，基本跟送死没有任何区别。

虽然你拥有一定的德鲁伊等级，甚至还能召唤一些动物跟野兽帮忙。

但想要杀死拥有众多卫兵保护的他，几乎是不可能做到的事情。”

左思干脆利落的拆穿了对方那点小心思。

由于没有什么心机的关系，他不费吹灰之力就读取了眼前这位野精灵的想法，以及所谓的“复仇计划”。

“你怎么知道我要去刺杀法辛顿·罗诺尔？该死！你在读取我的思想！”

精灵少女猛然间惊醒，脸上浮现出惊魂未定的表情。

可左思却不以为意的耸了耸肩膀：“放松，我对你没有恶意，只是单纯的想要提供一些帮助。毕竟在我看来，像法辛顿·罗诺尔这种恶贯满盈的人，根本不配活在这个世界上。不过作为回报，我希望你在完成复仇之后接受雇佣为我工作。”

“你可以提供什么样的帮助？所谓的工作又是什么？”精灵少女十分警惕的询问道。

惨遭俘虏的她，显然对于人类这种生物充满了不信任。

因为法辛顿·罗诺尔的手下，当初就是伪装成受伤的冒险者向野精灵部落求助，然后在得到治疗后恩将仇报，偷偷在食物和饮水中加入了大量可以导致昏厥的毒药。

结果等醒来的时候，整个部落的人都变成了被关在笼子里的奴隶。

“我可以提供给一些足以放倒罗诺尔家族城堡里所有人的毒药。你要做的就是想办法把它投入到水源中去。另外，工作的内容很简单。就是教导一些感染了兽化症的儿童，从中挑选出有天赋的培养成为德鲁伊学徒。怎么样，这个交易不赖吧？”

说着，左思从口袋里掏出一瓶从自己身体里提炼出来的强力神经毒素。

与大多数见效其快的同类毒素不一样，这种特殊毒素见效很慢。

至少会在身体里潜伏一两个小时以后才会发作，并且只影响作为神经中枢的大脑。

而且发作最开始的时候，唯一的表现症状就是犯困。

但是很快，这种困意就会变得十分强烈且难以忍受，最终不受控制的倒在地上陷入深度睡眠。

如果没有及时服用解毒剂，或者使用移除毒素之类的神术，那么中毒者的大脑细胞很快就会开始成批的死亡。

最后就算勉强被救回来也会变成白痴跟弱智。

事实上，随着成为剧毒与疾病女神塔洛娜的选民时间越来越长，左思对于毒药和瘟疫的了解也就越多、越深刻。

因为他本人就是一个巨大的研究素材库。

如果放到地球上，保证能让微生物学家和医生们陷入狂喜。

精灵少女盯着左思手上的瓶子，迅速施展了一个零环神术【侦测毒素】。

瞬间！

她立刻感受到了瓶子里无色透明液体所蕴含的可怕毒性，两只翠绿色的眼睛顿时开始放光，毫不犹豫的回应道：“成交！你只要把这瓶毒药交给我，等我完成复仇救出部落里的其他人就回来为你工作。”

“那就这么说定了。”

左思随手将整瓶毒药递给了对方。

精灵少女如获至宝，立刻将其紧紧的抱在怀里，因为这是成功向法辛顿·罗诺尔复仇唯一的希望。

正当她准备马上离开法师塔前往罗诺尔家族的城堡时，肚子突然发出一阵咕噜噜的叫声。

紧跟着一股无法用语言形容的强烈饥饿感席卷了全身。

一时之间，无力、腿软、出虚汗等症状全部冒了出来。

不用问也知道，这完全是饿的。

毕竟昏迷了好几天，中间除了在小狼人的帮助下服用少量蜂蜜水之外，基本没有吃过任何东西。

看到精灵少女扶着墙轻微摇晃的可怜模样，左思不由得笑着摇了摇头，直接施展六环神术【英雄宴】召唤出慢慢一大桌子的丰盛美食和美酒，然后做了个请的手势。

“吃点东西再走吧。不然以你现在的身体状态，估计走不了多远就会饿晕过去。还有，这里是安姆的首都阿斯卡特拉。如果你不想惹麻烦，最好去洗个澡换身衣服。要知道在这座城市里，可是有不少对精灵充满恶意跟仇恨的极端种族主义者。”

“英……英雄宴？！！”

看着突然凭空出现的一大桌子食物和饮料，精灵少女震惊的合不拢嘴。

要知道德鲁伊也是神术使用者，虽然施法列表跟牧师略有不同，但对于各个等级的神术还是有所了解的。

尤其【英雄宴】这个法术实在是太有名了。

以至于几乎所有人都想要亲自见识并品尝一番。

可让精灵少女万万没想到的是，自己竟然获得了这样的机会。

就在她想要开口道谢的时候，猛然间意识到【英雄宴】是一个高达六环的神术，而左思刚才说自己是一名法师。

法师怎么能施展等级这么高的神术？！

不过很遗憾，这位少女已经错过了发问的最佳时机。

左思在施展完英雄宴之后，就转身返回法师塔上层独属于自己的空间，继续去学习那些七环魔法。

同时有计划开始阅读第二张耐瑟瑞尔卷轴的内容，打算利用阅读完卷轴的奖励继续提升【大法师】等级。

毕竟【秘术师】职业虽好，可终究也只能提升到LV10。

也就是说，“神奥双修”最高到八环之后，就必须开始重新考虑接下来的进阶职业规划。

而LV5的大法师职业，可以帮助左思先将奥术施法等级提升到可以施展九环魔法的程度。

至于往后是继续提升法师职业还是再找一个其他的进阶职业，等到时候再说吧。

按照他本人的意愿，其实用【真死灵师】作为【秘术师】之后的替代最为理想。

毕竟两者都是典型的“神奥双修”，而且前者还可以获得一些额外跟死灵系有关的法术力量。

只可惜，塔洛娜并没有【死亡领域】可选。

就在左思对于剧毒与疾病女神可选领域充满怨念的时候，脑海中灵光一闪，突然想到塔洛娜的确没有【死亡领域】，可是已故的谋杀之神巴尔有啊！

如果他帮助塔洛娜夺取巴尔的神职跟王座，那么自己岂不是就有【死亡领域】可选了？

作为“瘟疫之子”和选民，额外多一个可选牧师领域不过分吧？ “看来得找个机会跟塔洛娜好好谈谈了……”

左思摸着下巴小声嘀咕道。

正当他把目光投向法术书记载的七环魔法【拟像术】时，脑海中突然接收到一条短消息。

发送者不是别人，正是在烛堡达成协议后就销声匿迹的席曼蒙。

内容也非常简单，就是一个单纯的时间和地点。

左思二话不说，立刻让小魔鬼施展【通神术】。

确认不是什么针对自己的伏击后，他这才悄无声息从位于法师塔地下的秘门离开，沿着阿斯卡特拉四通八达的下水道来到码头区的一栋不起眼的房子里。

还没等敲门，原本紧闭的大门便自己打开，从里边走出一个身穿蓝色法师长袍的熟悉女性身影。

“克拉丽斯？！”

左思立刻准确的叫出了对方的名字。

身为一名跟巨龙一样，也把“记仇”和“报复”属性点满的人，他可不会忘记就是眼前这个女人跟拜龙教联手伏击过自己一次。

虽然最后看在散塔林会和曼松的面子上放了对方一马，但这并不妨碍他把这件事情记在心里的“小本本”上。

“您好，索斯阁下。请进吧，我已经恭候多时了。”

克拉丽斯一边侧过身体让出一条进去的路，一边十分警惕的向四周张望。

It can be seen that her nerves are very tense now, and she is always on the lookout for any suspicious signs.

There is no way! Because the Harper spies active in Amn happen to be the most extreme faction in the entire organization, and all kinds of assassinations, poisoning and other means emerge in an endless stream.

The number of men lost here each year alone accounts for one-tenth of the Zhentarim's casualties.

If you are not careful, you won’t even know how you died.

When the two walked into the house, Clarice immediately relaxed a lot. She gestured to the thief who was lying in the peephole to observe the movements outside, then forced a smile and asked, "Are you leaving now or after nightfall? We have prepared a directional portal magic for you, and you can descend to the side of those Xirik Church believers at any time."

"I need to look at their information first."

Zuo Si made the request calmly.

"Of course! The list is here."

Without saying a word, Clarice handed over a "Death Note" that was as thick as two fingers.

Zuo Si merely touched the cover, and [Scholar's Touch] was immediately activated. Detailed information about the massacre list instantly appeared in his mind.

Just as agreed upon, these guys are all followers of that psychopath Xirik without exception.

And they are the craziest, most evil and most chaotic group.

Their unbridled expansion and power grabbing in Zhentil Keep angered the supreme leader Manshoon, so they were deliberately sent out to be dealt with secretly.

In the past, this kind of work was usually done by the chosen ones of the Goddess of Magic, such as Elminster.

Because Manshoon would deliberately design an ambush plan that seemed foolproof, and promise all kinds of benefits after returning successfully, and then encourage these guys to launch a moth-to-flame assassination.

By then, we can use the help of voters like Elminster to deal with all these internal instability factors.

Of course, it would be even better if one or two lucky people succeed.

However, with the rise of Cyric, this method has obviously become outdated.

After all, he has so many followers that even the dumbest idiot would be somewhat wary when seeing wave after wave of people going to die.

In comparison, Zuo Si, the Talona voter hiding in the dark, became the perfect candidate.

After all, since the goddess of poison and disease used to serve Baal, she is an absolute enemy of Cyric, who seized all the priesthoods of the "Three Gods of Death" during the turbulent years.

Moreover, Zuo Si himself had a very bad impression of the Church of Xirik.

In addition, the two sides have already formed a mortal feud, so there is no need to worry that they will secretly join forces to stab you in the back.

After roughly sorting out the noteworthy people on the list, Zuo Si immediately said, "I'm ready, start the transmission."

"Teleport? Now? Are you sure?" Clarice was obviously shocked by the decision.

As a wizard of a fairly high level, in her impression, spellcasters would often release a large amount of prophetic magic for detection before taking action, to ensure that all of the other party's secrets were uncovered, and only then would they choose to act at the right time.

But Zuo Si just touched the list without even looking at the contents.

Normally, this kind of reckless behavior should never happen to someone who is insidious and cunning and could be called a "dangerous person" by Mansong and Ximamon.

"Yes! I'm very sure. Don't dawdle, hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Zuo Si urged impatiently.

"No problem! Wait a moment!"

Clarice didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately joined forces with another wizard stationed here to cast a spell on a circular archway engraved with magic symbols.

In the blink of an eye, a huge energy vortex appeared out of nowhere in the center of the door.

When the shape was completely stabilized, Zuo Si stepped over without hesitation.

In less than a second, he left the capital of Amn, Askatra, and appeared in a wild forest.

A group of about dozens of Xirik followers wearing the holy emblem of "Dark Sun" were gathered together to hang the corpses of several freshly killed people on wooden racks. Patterns filled with evil and filth were drawn on the ground with blood.

It is not difficult to judge from the strong breath of the abyss that they are trying to summon a powerful demon.

When they saw the portal, all these guys were stunned.

Before anyone could react, Zuo Si used the power of the Chosen One without hesitation, mixing divine power with deadly viruses, bacteria and toxins, and released them all around.

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw the black energy flames instantly sweeping over the surrounding area of ​​dozens of meters.

All of the Xirik believers present, as well as several low-level demons that had just been summoned, fell to the ground without exception, wailing in pain, and their bodies decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into balls of energy that were reabsorbed into Zuo Si's body.

It took only five seconds from the start to the end, and these guys with the levels of warriors, thieves, mages, and priests disappeared from the world forever.

Only the weapons and equipment scattered on the ground prove that they did exist.

Just when Zuo Si was about to go back directly before the portal closed, a wave of energy suddenly came from about ten meters away.

The next second...

Ximanmeng, wearing a black velvet robe, appeared out of nowhere.

He first glanced at the strange situation at the scene, and immediately asked in surprise: "Is it all done? So quickly?"

"What else?"

Zuo Si quickly absorbed the surrounding mana and asked calmly.

"You are worthy of being the chosen one of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease. It seems that cooperating with you is indeed the right choice. Here, this is the reward for this operation. I hope you will be satisfied."

Ximanmeng handed over a magic mask in his hand meaningfully.

Apparently, he had intended to take this opportunity to closely observe Zuo Si's fighting style and electoral abilities, and then go back to make an overall assessment with his teacher Mansong.

But who could have imagined that in just a few seconds, dozens of Xirik's followers were all killed, leaving behind no corpses or any remains that could be studied.

It seems that the only way to get a rough idea of ​​what happened is to go back and try to summon the souls of these dead people.

(End of this chapter)
