"So what are your plans? If you want to return to Evermeet, I suggest you go to Waterdeep to find Lord Khelben. He has always had close contact with that place."
Zuo Si gave the sun elf in front of him some fairly reliable advice.
You have to know that Khelben is a half-elf, although he does not have obvious elf features on the surface, such as pointed ears, unique pupils and hair color, etc.
But his father, Oran Meldrem, was a member of a noble family in the famous elven city, Myth Drannor, and his mother was a human ranger, Erelinda.
Since Khelben's appearance was more inherited from his mother's human bloodline, it is said that he was discriminated against by the elves when he was young, and he did not even have his own name until he was twelve years old.
Peers who studied magic at school even gave him many extremely insulting nicknames, such as "Bill".
In Elvish, this pronunciation means "garbage" and is generally used to refer to hybrids of elves and humans.
The nobles called him "Zenar", meaning less than half, as an insult to his appearance that had no obvious elven features.
However, no one at that time would have thought that such a half-elf who was looked down upon, discriminated against and humiliated would eventually become the chosen one of the goddess of magic and one of the most powerful legendary wizards in Faerun after the destruction of Myth Drannor.
Although he had been treated very unfairly when he was young, Khelbourne did not hate the elves for it. Instead, he was grateful to the elves for opening their doors and teaching him magical knowledge and techniques.
He has always maintained a certain connection with Evermeet Island, and occasionally accepts and helps teach some elven magic apprentices.
"Eternal Gathering Island?"
The unknown sun elf blinked in confusion, obviously unfamiliar with this geographical concept.
"Don't you even remember Yongju Island?" Zuo Si looked puzzled.
You know, even the wild elves who are isolated from the world know that there is an island in the distant ocean where only elves can enter and live.
It's spring all year round there, and there are magnificent buildings built with high-level magic everywhere. They look so exquisite that they look like handicrafts and works of art.
Moreover, as long as you enter Yongju Island, you can get rid of poverty, hunger and disease forever. Even if you do nothing, you can still enjoy delicious food every day or indulge in pleasure.
The Sun Elf shook his head gently. "I'm sorry, I really don't remember anything. Perhaps the only thing I haven't forgotten is my archery, magic, and martial arts. In short, I don't know anything else now except fighting and killing. As for the Evergrande Island mentioned earlier, could you please help me find out about it?"
"Why do you want to ask? As an elf, I believe the elves there will welcome you to join them."
Zuo Si could clearly feel that the reaction of the magic archer in front of him was very strange.
Especially when Yongju Island is mentioned, there is always an inexplicable rejection and resistance.
"I... I don't know why, but I just don't want to go to Evermeet Island. If you don't mind, can I travel with you for a while? Maybe I can remember something on the way." The Sun Elf took the initiative to request to join the team.
Zuo Si nodded without hesitation: "Of course, I welcome a magic archer who can dragon shoots to join me. But I have to make it clear in advance that everything in my team must be done according to orders, and you are not allowed to act without permission."
"No problem. I promise to follow your instructions. I don't need any money or spoils. Just take care of the accommodation and food."
The magic archer shrugged his shoulders in a very casual manner.
Of course, judging from his luxurious weapons and equipment, we can tell that he is definitely not an ordinary elf civilian.
Moreover, there were two quivers behind him, one of which was filled with high-level enchanted arrows, including penetrating arrows, fatal arrows and magic-breaking arrows.
As for the other one, it is the famous "Endless Quiver".
In other words, the arrows in this quiver will never run out.
A quiver that is never empty is a rare treasure for any archer.
What's more, the arrows drawn from this quiver are not ordinary arrows, but +1 magic arrows.
"Then what should I call you? You have to give yourself a temporary name or nickname. Even if it's Anonymous, Chanem or something like that." Zuo Si reminded in a half-joking tone.
"Hmm...why not just call me Lantis?"
The Sun Elf Magic Archer lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally uttered a word from his mouth which meant "wandering person" in the Elf language.
"Okay, Lantis, you and the others can rest here for a while. I still have a lot of work to do. Once we're done, we'll immediately return to the surface."
After saying this, Zuo Si no longer paid attention to the other party. He turned and walked into the conch shell ship to help the summoned mind flayers prepare for the ceremony of transforming the main brain.
With the connection to the psychic generator on the dam, the Snail Shell now has sufficient energy supply. It is time to complete the last step.
Of course, he was just an assistant and observer in this process.
Those mind flayers are the real main force.
When he arrived at the brain pool, the first thing Zuo Si saw was the densely packed brains of the mind flayers soaked in liquid.
There are both surrendered prisoners and those who were killed before and brought back by the Heart Destroyer.
All in all, there are almost dozens of them.
The brain in the center constantly releases spiritual energy to the surroundings. Without asking, you know it is Ish Amidon's brain.
At some point, something like tentacles grew out near the uneven thalamus of this guy's brain, and they were capturing the Mind Flayer tadpoles in the brain pool to replenish and increase their own strength.
Not only his, but the brains of other mind flayers also underwent similar changes.
However, the tentacles that grow from the brains of ordinary mind flayers are too weak and are not yet strong enough to catch tadpoles for food.
Obviously, unlike most creatures that will die if their heads are cut off, the mind flayer's brain can exist independently from the body.
"How are the preparations going?" Zuo Si asked directly.
"It's almost done, Master. In another fifteen minutes, we can begin the ceremony. Here, please take this skull. It was peeled off from the body of Isemidun and has a very close connection with the brain itself. I secretly did some tricks inside the thalamus. If the new main brain tries to resist, you can use this thing to punish or forcibly control it."
As he spoke, the leading mind flighter presented a uniquely shaped skull with both hands.
Through special magical vision, Zuo Si could clearly see the spiritual energy covering the skull, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on his face: "Well done. If you can satisfy me this time, I don't mind spending a little mana to upgrade you to the level of Heart Destroyer."
Hearing this, the Mind Flayer's eyes suddenly flashed with ecstasy, and he immediately bent down and bowed deeply: "Please rest assured, I promise that there will be absolutely no accidents in the entire ceremony."
"Then I'll wait and see..."
Just like that, more than ten minutes later, when all the summoned mind flayers returned to the cabin where the brain pool was located, they quickly fished out all the immature tadpoles inside and temporarily stored them in another sealed container.
After doing all this, several mind flayers formed a circle around the brain pool.
The guy in the lead was the first to connect the energy transmission line to the outside world.
In the blink of an eye, a dazzling and intense light emanated from the psychic device beneath the brain pool.
The brains immersed in it seemed to be stimulated. They became extremely active one after another. The amazing mental energy even formed a translucent liquid on the surface that looked like substance.
"It's now! Let us let down our guard, open our hearts, and merge our spirits and consciousness into one." Another mind flier shouted loudly through telepathy.
The next second...
All the mind flayers participating in the ceremony waved their tentacles to release their psychic energy.
I saw thousands of psychic energy threads intertwined together, gradually merging into a huge network, covering the entire brain pool.
The brain in the brain pool seemed to feel this amazing resonance and released psychic threads as well.
Although the whole process sounds very simple to describe, it actually took a long forty or more hours.
The moment the huge network was completely woven, the brains in the brain pool began to converge rapidly towards Isemiten's brain.
By observing with the naked eye, one can clearly see that at the edge where the brains touch each other, the cells have begun to devour and fuse with each other.
Just like making a web before, this process is also extremely slow and consumes an extremely high amount of energy.
The bright and dazzling transmission lines are the best proof of this.
Almost all the energy generated by the psychic generator near the dam was sucked in, so that all other psychic devices and hibernation chambers stopped working.
The snail-shell ship was in a state of no protection at all.
No wonder Isemiden didn't dare to hold the ceremony to transform the mastermind before.
Zuo Si dared to guarantee that if the Gisyanki on the sixteenth floor sensed such a strong fluctuation of mental energy, they would definitely rush over at all costs to eliminate their most hated enemy once and for all.
But now, all the Githyanki in the star port are under his control, and they will not easily launch an attack without orders.
After a long period of fusion, the brains of dozens of mind flayers slowly merged into a huge and extremely complex main brain.
This thing doesn't look much different from an enlarged version of the human brain, but it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
Obviously, this feeling of oppression is a manifestation of the powerful psychic power of the main brain.
Most of the time, when an adventurer accidentally breaks into the location of the main brain, he or she will be captured and lose consciousness in an instant before he or she even has time to see what the main brain looks like.
Moreover, this is a newborn mastermind that has just completed the transformation. It is several levels inferior to those mature masterminds that have lived for who knows how many years and have integrated hundreds of mind flayer brains.
Therefore, Zuo Si felt that most of the guys in those adventure stories who broke into the lair of the Mind Flayer and finally succeeded in killing the Mastermind were liars.
Because even legendary spellcasters cannot be sure that they can escape unscathed when facing the mastermind, not to mention those warriors with well-developed muscles but low intelligence.
"Master, we succeeded."
The leading mind flighter took a short breath and reported through the mental connection in a slightly tired tone.
"But why doesn't it have any reaction?" Zuo Si frowned subconsciously as he stared at the silent main brain.
Another mind flayer quickly explained, “Because we cleansed Isemidon’s subjective consciousness during the transformation process, and only retained the knowledge and mental energy it recorded.
Therefore, the current main brain is like a newborn baby, which needs to be guided and grown slowly, and finally a new personality can be formed.
Please rest assured that we will be responsible for following up.
In a month or two at most, it will begin to have the intelligence and comprehension abilities of a human child, and in a year or two it will quickly mature and become your right-hand man.”
"I see. If that's the case, let's get started on our journey home. This conch shell ship should be able to move now, right?"
Zuo Si stared at the passages and cabins that were severely damaged by the iron balls and asked in an uncertain tone.
The leading Mind Flayer answered without hesitation: "Of course. In fact, the main parts of the spacecraft have been properly repaired. It just looks a little damaged on the outside, which will not affect its flying ability. But the problem is that the passages in the underground maze are generally narrow, and it is difficult for the huge spiral shell ship to pass through."
"You don't have to worry about that.
I will personally open up a road to the star port, and then use the star port as a transit station to teleport directly back to the underground of the Mage Tower in Athkatla.
This way, you can set up a base in the underground kingdom I excavated.
Moreover, there are enough goblins raised there, and humanoid creatures such as orcs, gnolls, and hobgoblins can often be captured.
Whether it is used as food or to transform mind flayers, there is sufficient guarantee."
Zuo Si had apparently already thought of the entire plan when he captured the Snail Shell.
When the main brain grows to a certain size, he will make it and the entire psychic spaceship into a card of the planeswalker, and will never give the opponent any chance to escape his control.
Zuo Si was extremely wary of a unique life form like the Mastermind.
Because he understands the growth potential of this thing better than anyone else.
Ilsensin, the god of the mind flayers, has proven what astonishing heights a mastermind can reach when it is powerful enough.
After simply packing up all the property, psychic devices and other miscellaneous things that might be useful on the seventeenth level - the deep sea, even the psychic generator on the dam was not spared, Zuo Si let the Mind Flayer drive the Conch Shell to the next level.
You have to know that the Mind Flayer has been entrenched here for so many years and has already collected a large amount of valuable property and magical items.
However, they were not interested in anything other than psychic powers, so they treated them as miscellaneous items and threw them into the warehouse, intending to use these things to exchange for more valuable slaves when slave traders passed by.
Yes, in the eyes of the mind flayer, things like gold, silver and jewelry are not as important as slaves.
Therefore, these octopus heads are very generous to underground merchants and caravans who can sell slaves to them regularly and in large quantities, and will even provide them with a batch of necklaces that are immune to mind invasion and control as an additional reward.
Similarly, slave traders can also earn a lot of gold coins from the other party, as well as profits of up to ten times or even dozens of times.
Some of these slaves are extremely rare or have extremely high IQs, and can often be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins each.
Now, all these things fell into Zuo Si's pocket.
He even found a small hand crossbow with an enchantment level of +3 among the magic items. It did not require arrows or the effort of pulling the bowstring. All he had to do was pull the trigger to shoot out a flaming arrow made of energy.
The firing rate can reach one shot every three seconds, making it a pretty good magic weapon.
In addition, there is a statue that can summon a small cat, which is not sure whether it is a bobcat or a lynx.
Of course, in Zuo Si's opinion, calling it a pet would be more appropriate.
Unlike ordinary mountain cats or lynxes in the material plane, its eyes seem to contain some kind of mysterious magical energy that can sense and see through many traps and bad guys.
Moreover, there is no time limit after it is summoned; it can exist permanently as long as it is fed regularly.
Although it is of no great use to Zuo Si himself, it is definitely a good gift to give to others.
He planned to give this thing to Hermione as a birthday present when Hogwarts started next semester.
I believe this girl who loves cats will be very happy.
In order to allow the Snail Shell Ship to sail out of the seventeenth floor, where all the passages along the way were not large enough to accommodate this behemoth, Zuo Si would personally take action or summon the earth element elders, or use various kinds of magic to temporarily widen the passages to a point where the Snail Shell Ship could continue to move forward.
After almost two days of slow progress, they finally reached the sixteenth floor.
However, given the size of the original portal leading to the starport, it is obviously impossible to accommodate the Snail Shell Ship.
So Zuo Si directly mobilized the Githyanki spellcasters and mind flayers stationed on the asteroid, and with the help of his own strength, he managed to build a super-giant portal that was just big enough to accommodate them.
If someone outside saw this scene, their jaw would drop in shock.
After all, the Githyanki and the mind flayers are known to be mortal enemies.
But Zuo Si not only made the two races coexist peacefully, but also worked together to complete a task.
Considering that the space inside the asteroid was also very crowded, when the snail-shell ship slowly moved out, it directly entered the sky outside the starport.
Looking at the huge psionic ship floating in front of them, the supreme commander of the Githyanki, Erron, couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Master, I didn't expect you to really do this.
Because when they realize they are doomed to fail, they will often simply choose to blow up their spacecraft, creating a terrifying energy shock and perishing together with the enemy."
"Isemiten must have had the same idea. It's a pity that he lost completely before he could even take action. Just like those high-ranking Githyanki people living in the Astral Plane, they would never have imagined that this outpost for nurturing offspring would continuously provide them with the spirit of resistance and the spark that promotes social change." Zuo Si pursed his lips meaningfully and said.
"Yes! And I can also take the credit for the disappearance of the Deep Sea Mind Flayer on the 17th layer, and use this as an achievement to apply for more assistance from above, both in terms of manpower and materials. If you are interested in the specialties of the Star Realm, you can give me a list. As long as there is a chance, I will apply to my superiors."
Erron was obviously harboring evil intentions, and immediately began to think about how to flee the core of the empire.
"Hmm - why not get me some more astral matter. There should be plenty of this stuff in the Githyanki's lair."
Zuo Si lowered his head and thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.
Because the properties of astral matter are so special, it looks like a ball of silver translucent colloid and can be molded into various shapes and even forms of energy.
Many psionic spells are achieved by shaping astral matter.
Therefore, if you want to gain a deeper understanding of psychic energy, starting with astral matter is undoubtedly a very good entry point.
What's more, now we have a spiral shell ship and a new main brain, which can use astral matter to create a lot of interesting psychic equipment.
Isadora and Qiwu also need some astral materials to make weapons for themselves.
Moreover, it is difficult to obtain large amounts of astral matter in the material plane.
If traveling to the astral plane through astral projection is too dangerous, it would not be worth it.
Now that there is an opportunity before him, Zuo Si naturally would not let it go easily.
"Astral matter?" Erron was stunned for a moment, then immediately gave a positive answer. "No problem. I will contact my boss later and try to get you a full ship of astral matter."
The reason why he agreed so readily was because this thing was so abundant in the star realm that it was almost overflowing.
No one would be interested in it except psions and psychic warriors.
Of course, Erron, who is good at making golems, still likes to use astral materials to make golems.
Although these golems are not as strong as steel or rock, they can still cause confusion to many spellcasters who are facing astral matter for the first time.
The two stood at the dock of the star port and chatted for a while about their experiences in the star realm. Zuo Si immediately activated the power of sparks to strengthen the connection between himself and the Mage Tower, and then directly teleported the conch shell ship to the dragon's nest located under the Mage Tower.
When the huge spiral-shell ship appeared out of nowhere, Wilmes, who was dozing lazily, woke up instantly. Thinking that he was invaded by foreign enemies, he immediately opened his mouth and was about to spit out a deadly breath of flames.
But the next second, she saw Zuo Si walking out directly from inside.
"Damn it! Next time you make such a big noise, can you give me a heads up? You know, I almost launched an attack just now." The red dragon shook his head and complained unhappily.
Zuo Si explained nonchalantly, "Sorry, I forgot about this because of the emergency. Now, gather a group of goblins and undead immediately and have them open up a space in the tunnel near the bottom that is big enough to accommodate this thing. Also, slightly increase the upper limit of the goblin reproduction number to ensure that the mind flayers and their masterminds have enough food and hosts."
"I understand. I'll let the slaves do it." Wilmes agreed straightforwardly.
Anyway, she is just a supervisor and doesn't have to do it herself.
As for how many werewolves and goblins will die in this project, the evil red dragon doesn't care.
After placing the conch shell ship, Zuo Si immediately led his men back to his mansion in Waterdeep City to visit Khelben and explain the situation of the elven magic archer Lantis.
After listening to his description, the ancestor of the magic goddess showed an interested expression and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure he really used the death arrow to kill an adult brass dragon with one shot?"
"No, not one, but two, and without exception, they were killed in one shot. Although this was due to the magic items and equipment, his personal level and strength should not be underestimated. I suspect he is a legendary magic archer. Such people must be quite rare even among the Sun Elf nobles."
Zuo Si expressed his views openly without any concealment.
"Okay, I've got it. In a few days, I will go to Yongju Island in person to inquire whether any important descendants of aristocratic families are missing there." Khelbourne took the initiative to take on this matter.
You should know that even among the elves, the magic archer is an absolutely rare profession.
Because in order to advance to a magic archer, two conditions must be met at the same time, namely, being able to release the lowest level of arcane and being proficient in longbow and shortbow.
This means that any archer has the qualities to become a spellcaster such as a wizard, sorcerer, or bard.
Especially given the Sun Elves' obsession with magical powers, after learning that they have magical talents, they will hardly accept combat and archery training anymore.
As for the magic archers who are close to or even reach the legendary level, they are even rarer. You will definitely get clues if you just ask.
"Then please. Also, I have another thing I want to ask you for help with."
As he spoke, Zuo Si opened a small box he carried with him, took out a dozen eggs of different sizes and colors, and placed them on the table.
"Please help me pass these things to the mad wizard Halaster Black Robe and tell him that these are magical creatures from another world. As one of the lords of Waterdeep, you should have a channel to contact him, right?"
"Oh? Why are you doing this?" Kelben asked curiously.
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "Because I took away many interesting creatures and treasures from the ground maze, it is only natural for me to give back to him as my master within my ability. What's more, I heard that the Mad Mage is a vindictive person, and I don't want to hear that my Mage Tower will be invaded by him one day."
"Hahaha! It seems that you know a lot about Halaster. Okay, I will help pass it on." Khelbourne smiled and nodded in agreement.
And his reaction just proved Zuo Si's guess about the relationship between Waterdeep and the Mad Mage.
There must be some secret PY transaction between the two.
So after exchanging a few more pleasantries, he quickly stood up and said goodbye, planning to go to Silvermoon City first, and then to Neverwinter City, to visit the rulers of these two cities respectively and find out their attitudes towards Luskan.
However, Zuo Si didn't know that not long after he left, an old man who looked calm, composed and polite walked out of a secret door behind a bookshelf.
He didn't even pay attention to Khelbourne, the owner, but went straight to the table, picked up the eggs of those magical animals and put them in front of his eyes for careful observation.
After a long while, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly to reveal a playful smile.
"Well, are you satisfied with the reward provided by Soth?" Khelbourne asked with a smile.
The old man nodded slightly. "Of course I am satisfied. Because each of these magical creatures is something I have never heard of or seen before. If they are used as the mother to crossbreed with other magical creatures, many very interesting variants and offspring will definitely be produced. It seems that you are right. He can indeed bring me a lot of new and interesting things."
Khelbourne sighed slightly and said, "Yes. Not only are there interesting magical creatures, but there are also a lot of magical techniques from other worlds. The goddess is very optimistic about him and even gave him the Silver Fire to promote him to be her chosen one. By the way, what did he take away from you this time when he entered the Underworld?"
"He almost killed all the mind flayers on the seventeenth floor, and then took away the conch shell ship I captured." The old man gave the answer without hesitation.
Needless to say, he is none other than Halaster Blackrob, the founder of the Underworld and the last survivor of the Imaskar Empire.
But when he was on the surface, he didn't look crazy at all. Instead, he gave people a very wise feeling.
"Shock Wave? Why did Soth take this thing away? Can't it be controlled only by mind flayers?" Khelben showed a puzzled expression on his face.
"Because he somehow brought some mind flayers under his absolute control. I even saw one of the mind flayers under his control easily kill Isemedon with a dagger. You know, this mind flayer is a master of psychic powers. Even I have to work hard to deal with him."
The mad wizard did not try to hide anything and simply told what he had observed.
To him, there were no secrets in the entire ground maze city.
It’s just that when he was underground, he would always become uncontrollably crazy, so he couldn’t keep a clear mind like he does now.
"I see. It seems that Soth wants to study psionics and the psionic technology created by the mind flayers."
Khelben had seen the cards of the Planeswalkers before, so he knew that Zuo Si possessed a powerful magical power that even he and Elminster and others could not understand.
But he didn't know what these powers were, where they came from, and he didn't know the profession of "Planeswalker".
Because the magic goddess Midnight did not reveal Zuo Si's true identity to her chosen ones.
"Studying psychic power? No, no, no, this young man not only wants to study psychic power, but also uses Isemidun's brain and transforms it into a brand new main brain through a ritual. You know what? I thought I had seen everything in my life, but this is the first time I have met a guy as crazy and reckless as him."
Halaster Blackrobe grinned and gave his evaluation.
"Are you crazier than when you were in the maze city on the ground?" Khelbourne asked in surprise.
"Yes, even crazier than when I was underground. Because my madness is only on the surface, but Soth's madness comes from the depths of his bones and even his soul. His endless thirst for magical knowledge and power is like a man in the desert longing for water. Just watch, this young man will do something that will shock and unbelievable to you sooner or later."
After saying this, the Mad Wizard ignored Khelbourne's reaction, picked up all the eggs, turned around, and disappeared through the secret door behind the bookshelf without a trace.
…
At the same time, far to the south, deep underground in Askatra, the capital of Amn.
Erinikas was raging in the temple of the ancient sun god Amaunator, in an uncontrollable rage.
Because after a year of research on divine power and saints, he did not make any breakthrough progress.
Moreover, the saints of Amaunator were becoming weaker and weaker as they continued to suffer torture, and the fragments of divine power remaining in their bodies were becoming fewer and fewer.
If things continue to develop in this way, the saint will completely dissipate before he can figure out the true nature of God because he can't bear it.
"Asshole! Why did this happen? Why did I fail? Answer me!"
Erinikas roared at the Saint of Amaunator, who was bound to the dissection table by magical power.
"You foolish and arrogant mortal, do you think you can see through the essence of God with your shallow knowledge and ideas? Dream on!" The Saint of Amaunator sneered mercilessly.
After more than a year of getting along, he already understood what this madman who had been deprived of his elven bloodline wanted to do.
"Very good! Since you won't tell me the answer, let's start more experiments. No matter what the nature of God is, I will find out."
Erinikas immediately released a large amount of energy damage of different attributes to the saint through magic devices.
In the blink of an eye, countless flames, strong acids, lightning, cold, sound waves and negative energy surrounded the saints of Amaunator.
The latter's body was covered in wounds in less than a second.
But when the attack stopped, all these injuries recovered as before after shining with golden light like the sun.
After all, as the sun god, Amaunator's best skill is powerful and pure positive energy.
It is precisely because of this that Erinikas could carry out various extremely cruel experiments on him without restraint.
Just when he was about to continue to torture the saint, Badi, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly walked in from outside and said in a very serious tone: "My descendants have found out where Sos is."
"Where is he?"
Erinikas immediately asked impatiently.
After a year of research without any progress, the powerful elven wizard had to find another way and set his sights on the artifact scepter.
However, Zuo Si has hardly appeared in public in the past year or so. Even if he occasionally appears, it is only for a very short time before disappearing again.
"According to the intelligence sent back from the North, he seems to have just left Waterdeep with a team and is heading towards Neverwinter. If you want to find him, just go to Neverwinter and wait for him." Badi quickly gave the intelligence he had.
After so much development, the number of her descendants has reached hundreds.
In addition to the fifty who are stationed in the Athkatla Cemetery, the rest are scattered in various important cities on the west coast of the continent of Faerun, responsible for gathering news and intelligence.
You have to know that the target of this vampire queen is the Shadow Thieves Guild, so wherever there are Shadow Thieves, she will set up a base and observe secretly.
Once the time is right, they will immediately launch a surprise attack to completely defeat and disintegrate the organization, and then make it their own property.
"Neverwinter? Okay, I get it."
Rather than continue to torture the Saint of Amaunator, Erinikas opened a portal and left the temple.
After the magic teleportation effect completely disappeared, Badi walked in front of the saint with light and graceful steps, stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the other's naked chest and neck, and at the same time stretched out his tongue to lick the tempting red lips, and exclaimed in a seductive voice: "What a perfect body and tempting blood. If it's not too dangerous, I'm actually very happy to spend a pleasant hour or two with you."
"Put your dirty hands here, evil undead." The face of the Saint of Amaunator revealed naked and undisguised disgust.
Especially the amazing negative energy in the vampire's body, it feels like there is a pile of "shit" dangling in front of your eyes.
If he was not imprisoned, he would even be willing to release the last of his divine power to self-destruct and die together with the other party.
Badi undoubtedly sensed the saint's extreme disgust towards him, but instead of getting angry, he placed his entire palm on the saint, feeling the stinging pain from the positive energy slightly burning his skin.
This dangerous and taboo behavior made her feel unprecedented excitement.
After a while, his entire body leaned forward.
There is no doubt that this behavior constitutes very, very serious blasphemy.
So as the actions became more and more outrageous, the entire temple began to be filled with a strange atmosphere. Even the immortal believers outside began to be affected. They no longer wandered around with numb faces, but became extremely excited and agitated as they bathed in the darkness.
Although their cursed bodies had long been broken and dilapidated, the expressions on their faces looked as if they were enjoying something.
Not long after, this temple that originally emitted a faint sacred light began to show the exact opposite scene.
A black fog appeared from nowhere and completely surrounded and swallowed up the place at an extremely fast speed.
In the depths of the fog, you can vaguely see a beautiful and slim female figure.
She was barefoot, wearing only a black gauze, and exuded a mystery and darkness that could not be described in words.
Especially those deep black eyes, which people will never forget after seeing them.
When she saw what happened in the temple, she immediately raised the corners of her mouth into a playful smile, and then quickly disappeared into the black mist.
Unfortunately, Badi, who was increasingly dominated by instinct and desire, did not notice this. She was so immersed in inexplicable joy that she did not realize that the Saint of Amaunator had unknowingly corrupted and degenerated into a black shadow, and injected the last fragments of divine power into her dead body.
When everything was over and the fog had completely disappeared, Badi was shocked to find that the Saint of Amaunator was gone, and he fell into extreme fear and panic.
Because she knew better than anyone how important this saint was to Erinikas.
If the latter comes back and finds that his most important research subject is gone, he will surely explode in rage and will most likely kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.
Badi didn't want to die, and he didn't want to live a life worse than death in the hands of his brother who was becoming increasingly cruel and crazy.
In order to cover up the mistake she had made, a plan of "letting the wolf into the house" suddenly emerged in her mind.
If any enemy attacks the temple, they can be blamed for the disappearance of Saint Amaunator.
Thinking of this, Badi quickly turned into a bat and flew back to his nest in the cemetery.
Perhaps because she was too nervous, the Vampire Queen did not realize that her originally flat belly was slightly bulging, and an evil and terrifying life was growing in her body.
