Late at night, the most prosperous shopping mall area of ​​Woking in Askatla was shrouded in bright lights.

Merchants from all over Faerun and even from other dimensions were, as always, enthusiastically introducing and boasting about their wares to every customer who passed by, completely unaware that in the complex pipes beneath the ground, the demon army from the Abyss was expanding along the sewers at an extremely fast speed.

Along the way, whether they encountered various dung monsters, carrion worms, and slime monsters that fed on garbage, or the Kuo-Toa murlocs, sea trolls, and soul trolls that crawled out of the estuary, or the mages who set up secret bases in the sewers to conduct magical research, they were all slaughtered without mercy.

As the most chaotic, evil, and brutal creatures in the entire multiverse, demons never understand what forgiveness is and basically have no habit of taking prisoners.

For them, killing is like some kind of instinct in their bones.

And once it starts, it will never stop until all the enemies are dead.

In just a few hours, the sewers of the entire shopping mall were littered with corpses. Even rats that accidentally passed by would be grabbed by the cowardly demon, stuffed into its mouth, chewed up, and then swallowed.

The sewer ecosystem that was formed with great difficulty after hundreds of years was destroyed in an extremely short period of time.

However, as these guys advanced to the base established by Erinikas, they finally encountered the most intense and stubborn resistance.

Those golems that were previously built to deal with eye demons can easily smash the brains of low-level demons like cowards with just one punch.

The gray dwarves and goblin slaves fought desperately with the weapons in their hands, and with the help of the magic traps hidden in every corner, the cowards soon left their corpses on the ground and began to retreat.

But before they could run far, the six-armed snake demon in charge of supervising the battle wielded a sharp scimitar and killed dozens of the fastest cowardly demons as swiftly as a whirlwind, and roared in the Abyssal Language: "Don't retreat! Otherwise, this will be your fate. I will give you fifteen minutes. If you still can't break in by then, I will kill you all without leaving a single one alive."

moment!

All the cowards stopped running away, their eyes revealing great fear.

Although their intelligence is not high, they understand very well that the words of the six-armed snake demon are not just a verbal threat.

This cold-blooded and brutal high-ranking demon warlord has done this more than once in previous wars.

After a brief hesitation, the cowards adjusted their direction again and rushed towards the only entrance of the base like a tide.

Because these stupid and cowardly creatures simply did not have the courage to challenge a six-armed snake demon whose strength in the abyss was second only to the Balrog.

The latter can easily kill hundreds of cowardly demons by himself.

Not to mention that she has an elite serpent guard by her side.

Many of these demons are powerful warriors who have returned from bloody battles. It is effortless for them to kill a group of cowardly demons that have just crawled out of the hatching pool.

However, the six-armed snake demon did not sit idly by and watch his cannon fodder die in vain, but hid behind and carefully observed the situation inside.

When she figured out the locations of all the magic traps, as well as the number and strength of the guards in the base, she immediately rushed forward with the Snake Demon Guards.

Unlike those cowards who could only leave a few scratches on the golems, this group of powerful demons armed with magic weapons tore the clay, rock and steel golems into pieces one by one accurately and fatally like a whirlwind.

Some six-armed snake demons with rich experience in melee combat will even wait for the golem to attack the cannon fodder first and reveal a flaw before they will move up and launch a violent and violent attack.

Needless to say, this technique was learned from the terrible bloody battlefield.

Because any demon that does not use its own kind as cannon fodder or bait usually has no chance of surviving, and will often die instantly within a few seconds.

Since Erinikas himself was not there and the golems were not very smart, they were all destroyed after a short while.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the gray dwarves and goblins immediately turned around and ran deep into the base, trying to use the narrow passages and traps to resist.

But as the demons began to unleash spell-like abilities in large numbers, they were killed or injured before they could run far.

Only a few lucky ones managed to escape.

But this is only temporary.

As the demons rushed into the base frantically, all living things inside were killed or injured in a very short time.

When the former saw the clones in the glass jars and the various organs and limbs soaked in preservative fluid, the six-armed snake demon general in charge of the team immediately showed an expression of great surprise.

Because even in the Abyss, there are very few demons as twisted and morbid as Erinikas, emitting a chaos and evil that is purer than that of demons.

Without a doubt!

Such a soul is definitely a rare treasure for the devil.

It doesn't even need to evolve from a larva, it can directly transform into a high-level demon.

I believe that any demon lord would be very happy to have such a subordinate and advisor.

Without any hesitation, the Six-Armed Snake Demon Commander quickly sent someone to tell Mona Hill the good news.

At about the same time, far away in the sewers of the dock area.

The shadow thieves who controlled this area were also invaded by demons.

Several guys who were hiding in the sewers to meet and engage in smuggling were silently surrounded by the swarming cowards and trapped in a temporary underground warehouse.

They didn't even have time to send out warning or help signals before they were pounced on and brutally dismembered.

The soul is captured by the six-armed snake demon who is in charge of the warlord.

In less than an hour, all the sewers in the dock area collapsed.

At least two hundred Shadow Thieves from different factions disappeared out of thin air, and the losses caused were high enough to drive the top brass crazy.

Almost at the same time, when the vampire Queen Badi learned that her brother's base was destroyed, a smug expression suddenly appeared on her face.

Apparently, she successfully used this group of demons to cover up her own fatal mistake.

Now, all the responsibility and blame can be put on the demons.

Since the goal had been achieved, Badi immediately instructed the two descendants kneeling in front of him: "Go to the city and spread the news that the sewers were captured by demons. Remember, you must spread it quickly and make sure that the Amn Six Council and other high-level officials know about it."

"clear!"

A male vampire placed one hand on his chest and bowed deeply, then he turned into a bat and flew away.

"Madam, I don't understand why you want to inform the top leaders of Amn? Isn't it good to watch the demons capture this city?" The female vampire next to her asked curiously.

"That would be too obvious. Askatla is a city that worships almost all gods. I don't want to be discovered and be wanted and hunted by them. What's more, there is an extremely dangerous person in this city - Soth. I want to take this opportunity to observe what unknown cards he holds." Badi explained with interest, touching his chin.

"I see. Then leave this mission to me."

After saying that, the female vampire also turned into a bat and flew towards the location of the wizard tower.

Not long after she left, the dark elf slowly walked out from the dark corner, pursed his lips and sneered, "What an idiot. Did she think she would have a chance to come out alive if she went to that guy's wizard tower?"

Badi shrugged indifferently: "It's just a newborn descendant anyway. If he dies, we can find another opportunity to replace him. Compared to this, I have an extra job for you to do."

"Oh, what is it?"

The dark elf asked with a provocative look.

"Here is a list of the home addresses of suspected members of the Athkatra Shadow Thieves Guild. I believe you should be very interested in capturing them for me, right?"

Badi casually pulled out a piece of parchment covered with names and addresses from the table.

The dark elf took it and glanced at it, then immediately frowned and asked, "How can I enter these guys' houses? You know, I can't enter without the owner's permission."

"Please don't worry about this. I have arranged an insider for you. Someone will open the door for you and extend an invitation." Badi explained proudly.

"As you wish, my evil mistress." The dark elf bowed gracefully with one hand on his chest.

Just when Badi was about to say something, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sharp pain in his stomach, and then he became unconscious, as if he heard a voice echoing in his mind.

But because the sound was too weak, she didn't hear clearly what the other person was saying.

When I came to my senses, I found myself in endless darkness and haziness. The terrifying loneliness around me made me, a vampire, feel extremely desperate.

"This...what on earth is going on?"

Badi couldn't help but shiver.

As a former high-level elven wizard, she was absolutely certain that there was no trace of any magical fluctuations just now.

But soon, a huge black, burning fireball slowly rose from the horizon, emitting chaos and evil that could not be described in words.

Faintly, she seemed to see the shadow of a baby in the black sun.

The baby looked so twisted and deformed that just one look from the vampire queen Badi made her unable to move at all, as if she was trapped in a tree.

I don't know how long it took, but the baby finally crawled out of the black fireball, with an umbilical cord still connected to its belly.

At this moment, what Badi wanted to do most was to turn around and run away immediately.

Unfortunately, I couldn't move at all and could only watch the monster getting closer and closer.

When the latter's deformed and twisted arm was about to touch her, her mind suddenly became dazed again.

Just for a second or so, they were suddenly back in the catacombs of Athkatla.

If it weren't for his body's extremely strong reaction, Badi would even think that everything that just happened was some kind of illusion.

But alas, it was not an illusion at all.

Because there is no illusion that can cause a vampire, who is already a high-level undead creature, to have such a horrible physiological reaction.

Realizing this, Badi immediately lowered his head and glanced at his slightly bulging belly. He couldn't help but shudder and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! I have to find a way to figure out what this thing is before Erinikas gets back."

Undoubtedly, this requires the help of one or more very powerful wizards or priests.

As a vampire, you can basically forget about being a high-level priest.

If a kind or even neutral priest sees a vampire, he will probably purify it within minutes.

As for the priests of the evil camp, if they encounter a vampire queen like Badi, they will immediately find ways to firmly control her through the power bestowed by God, and then drive her to perform some very dangerous tasks.

In comparison, the mage is obviously a better choice.

But the problem is that there are not many truly capable mages in Athkatla.

Among them, the Masked Mage Guild is undoubtedly the most powerful one on the surface.

But Badi knew that this organization had very deep ties with the Council of Six of Amn and the Shadow Thieves, so looking for them might expose some of their own secrets.

This means that there is only one option left, which is to find Zuo Si.

Although in Badi's eyes, this young god's chosen one was an absolutely dangerous person, but at least he abided by the agreement reached in advance in the transaction with Erinikas.

Besides, she had no better choice.

…

On the other side, Zuo Si, who had been busy inside and outside the Mage Tower for several days, finally succeeded in creating the weapon he wanted.

This is a long sword emitting a deep blue light.

In order to carry more magical power, the sword body appears somewhat thick, giving people the feeling of a broadsword, but the edge of the sword presents irregular spikes and serrations.

A row of extremely complex magic runes can be clearly seen on the sword.

When the enemy casts a spell, whether it is arcane or divine, these runes will light up immediately.

At that time, Zuo Si can choose to use the power of this powerful weapon and decide whether to absorb the spell or bounce it back.

Like the Archmage's Staff, the Magic Sword can absorb and store up to fifty points of energy.

These energies can be used to cast spells that are fixed in the sword, or they can be simply molded into energy forms such as arrows and released.

If the energy absorbed exceeds fifty points, it will not self-explode like the Staff of the Archmage, but will distribute the overflow evenly on the sword to enhance its enchantment level.

At the same time, it will form an invisible shield similar to energy protection to protect the holder from energy attacks such as fire, lightning, strong acid, sound waves, cold, etc.

If all the stored energy is released at once, the sword will release a ten-meter-long energy beam that can be swung like a lightsaber and cause pure non-attribute magic damage to enemies within the radius.

However, energy overflow is obviously not a big deal for a planeswalker.

Zuo Si can absorb the excess energy at any time and convert it into mana for storage.

Last but not least, it can speed up the holder's casting speed, omit some chanting spells and casting actions, and enhance all spells to a certain extent.

In addition, this sword does not need to be held in the hand, it will function normally as long as it is worn on the body.

It can be said that this long sword-shaped staff embodies Zuo Si’s entire current understanding of magic and is an absolute artifact.

Yes!

This is a divine weapon, not a sub-divine weapon.

Because Zuo Si injected part of the converted divine power into it.

So in theory, this sword can be used to kill incarnations of gods and saints.

Of course, this is only in theory.

Just like the famous god-killing dagger "Zasman Dagger" born in the Netheril era, although it can ignore the target's defense level and divine power bonus to a certain extent, the holder himself may not be able to compete with the gods.

Therefore, God does not need to deal with the artifact itself, he just needs to kill the mortal who possesses the artifact.

Gently stroking the long sword and feeling the energy fluctuations coming from the sword, Zuo Si murmured to himself in a slightly excited tone: "Hmm - what name should I give you? How about calling you Against the Tide? After all, making a staff into the shape of a sword is considered a heresy in the eyes of most spellcasters. It is absolutely against the tide."

[Artifact - Against the Tide]

This powerful artifact functions as a +5 longsword, while granting its wielder thirty points of additional spell resistance.

If you give up spell resistance, you can absorb spells cast by other people around you and convert them into energy and store them in the sword body. The maximum amount that can be stored is fifty points.

Similarly, you can also bounce back the opponent's successfully released spells.

But each rebound requires a certain amount of energy points depending on the level of the spell.

These energy points can not only enhance the enchantment level of the sword up to +10, but can also be shaped into various energy forms to attack opponents as needed.

Each energy point is equivalent to the damage of a third-level magic lightning spell, and the power is calculated based on the holder's casting level.

In addition, you can also form a magic absorption shield by consuming energy points.

For every point of energy consumed, the absorption shield will absorb fifty points of energy damage.

The holder's casting speed is increased by one third, and spell power is increased by one level. Its effect is equivalent to the super magic skill [Spell Upgrade].

The above permanent effects will be effective for all arcane spells, divine spells, and even magic spells.

If all fifty points of energy were released in one breath, a ten-meter-long beam of pure magical energy would tear apart all enemies.

Any target hit by the energy beam will not be cut in half, but will be torn apart by the impact of the magic energy and randomly dissociate.

The higher the spell resistance, the lower the chance of being disintegrated and the higher the chance of counterattack.

This artifact holds a large amount of magic, among which the ones that require two points of energy to release include [Energy Absorption], [Time Stop], [Space Lock], and [Spell Absorption].

The spells that require a little energy include [Dispel Magic], [Fireball], [Ice Storm], [Invisibility], [Knock], [Wall Walk], [Web], [Tongue], and [Flight].

Finally, there are [Sealing Door], [Giant Transformation], [Shield], [Grease], and [Hand of the Mage] that can be released at will without consuming energy.

There is no doubt that the counter-tide created by Zuo Si himself has far surpassed the Archmage's Staff.

With the help of this artifact, even without using the planeswalker cards, you have the confidence to face off against the most powerful legendary wizards in a spell duel.

However, as he liked to keep a hand hidden in everything, he was not in a hurry to reveal this trump card, but carefully put it back into the scabbard prepared in advance.

The moment the sword emitting dazzling arcane light was inserted, all the violent magical fluctuations disappeared.

Even under the observation of arcane vision, there is nothing noteworthy about the counter-tide.

Obviously, the specially made scabbard completely conceals its sharpness.

After completing this step, he did not hesitate to spend an astonishing amount of mana to make the weapon into a treasure card, and then summoned it again.

This is not a waste of time, but to ensure that the countertide will not be destroyed by spells such as the Great Splitting.

Although the probability of the Great Rupture destroying the artifact is only a few percent, as long as it is not zero, we need to prepare for it in advance.

In fact, not only Ni Chao was made into a treasure card, but all the important magic items on Zuo Si were also made into treasure cards without exception.

Although he himself doesn't like to use Greater Disintegration, many high-level and even legendary mages like to use it on their opponents when fighting.

This can be seen from Erinikas's fighting style.

After all, the sooner you destroy the powerful magic items on the enemy, the higher your chances of winning.

As for the spoils, you will be qualified to consider them only after you win.

Since there is no "Sevrod" god to worship in the real world, the first priority is to ensure your own survival, and everything else should be put behind.

Just as Zuo Si was drawing energy from the Mage Tower to replenish the empty mana pool, the tower's consciousness suddenly informed through the telepathic connection: "Master, there is a female vampire at the door who wants to see you."

"Vampire?" Zuo Si was slightly stunned.

他可不记得自己跟吸血鬼有什么往来。

就连跟艾瑞尼卡斯合作的时候，都没跟巴荻讲过几句话。

“是的，吸血鬼。我侦测到她是从墓园区方向飞过来的。”高塔意识迅速给出相应的信息。

经过一年多的学习和成长，它的智力水平明显有了非常大的进步，已经不是最开始那种经常会闹常识性笑话的“弱智”。

“巴荻的手下？有意思！邀请她进来在一楼大厅等我吧。”

说罢，左思便不再理会高塔意识，专心致志抽取能量补充法力值。

大概几分钟过后，当法力池重新蓄满，他这才迈步从上层来到一楼大厅，一眼就看到了门口坐立不安的吸血鬼。

她有着尖尖的耳朵，明显具有精灵血统或者干脆就是个精灵，看上去大概只有十六七岁的样子。

也不知道是不是恶趣，巴荻转化后裔和衍体的时候，似乎格外喜欢精灵。

她手下的吸血鬼，几乎有三分之二都是精灵或者半精灵。

而人类除非是非常有能力且长相英俊、漂亮，否则根本连加入的机会都不会有，分分钟被吸干血液变成一具没有生命的尸体。

“晚上好，伟大剧毒与疾病女神塔洛娜的选民——索斯阁下。”

吸血鬼少女单手抚胸深深的鞠了一躬。

尽管在上次与艾瑞尼卡斯合作的时候，她还没有被捕获并成为吸血鬼，但却也知道眼前这个年轻的人类男性掌握着多么可怕的力量。

连自己强大女主人都感到忌惮和敬畏，更不用提区区一个新生的吸血鬼。

“给她弄一杯血来。”左思直截了当对高塔意识吩咐道。

眨眼功夫，一杯暗红色的血浆便凭空出现在桌子上。

不用问也知道，这些血液都是从法师塔地下那些地精狼人身体里抽取出来的，而且是对于吸血鬼来说最上等的“心头血”。

顾名思义，就是挖开一个人的胸膛，将整个心脏掏出来，里边所盛装的鲜血。

这种血液可以为吸血鬼提供无与伦比的味觉和感官享受。

根据《死者之书》上的描述，当吸血鬼饮用这样的血液时，可以感受到发自灵魂深处的愉悦跟满足。

咕咚！

吸血鬼少女看到桌子上那杯鲜血的瞬间，忍不住吞咽了一下口水，同时内心之中无法抑制的冲动与渴望席卷全身。

与巫妖的绝对理智跟冷静不同，虽然都是亡灵生物，可吸血鬼明显更像是以另外一种方式活着，而不是彻底变成了没有情感、欲望的死者。

“给，喝吧，喝完之后告诉我巴荻让你来究竟有什么目的。”

左思轻轻把装满鲜血的杯子推到对方面前。

最终，吸血鬼少女在无法抑制的冲动下，一个箭步冲到近前，捧起杯子便咕咚咕咚喝了个精光。

地精狼人的血液中蕴含的兽化症诅咒，显然并不会对不死生物产生任何影响。

所以她在喝完后没有任何的不适，反而满脸都是无比享受的表情，就仿佛刚刚在某些方面获得了满足一样。

幸好，这种状况并未持续太久，大概几秒钟之后便恢复正常。

这个新生的吸血鬼显然还没有适应新的身份，更控制不好自己的情绪，甚至从喉咙里发出了轻微的呻吟，然后才打了个激灵低声说道：“我们在城市的下水道里发现了大量的恶魔。”

“恶魔？大量？”

左思立刻下意识皱起眉头。

因为在他的印象中，阿斯卡特拉好像从未有过遭到恶魔攻击的记录。

“是的，非常非常的多。其中光是怯魔就多到难以计数，宛如潮水般席卷了每一个角落。女主人让我来通知您一声。”

吸血鬼少女用极快的语速把提前编好好的说辞一股脑交代清楚。

就在她觉得自己已经完成使命准备起身告辞的时候，一股黑暗的神力瞬间从剧毒与疾病女神塔洛娜的圣徽中射出，当中击中这个新生的吸血鬼。

后者甚至连反应的机会都没有，瞬间就被牢牢地控制住了。

这种控制不光是身体上的，还有精神、意志和灵魂上的。

由于有非常高的神术施法等级，所以控制一只等级不高的吸血鬼对于左思而言就像吃饭喝水一样容易。

在确认吸血鬼少女完全处于自己的控制下，他这才开口质问道：“告诉我，这些突然出现的恶魔究竟是怎么回事？”

“是……是……”

吸血鬼少女明显在进行抗拒。

但她的意志力太薄弱了，很快就屈从于圣徽射出的黑暗神力，一口气把自己知道的全部抖落出来。

当得知这一切都是巴荻诱导一群恶魔崇拜者搞出来的事情后，左思整个人都被对方的疯狂惊呆了。

而且由于吸血鬼少女并不清楚自己的女主人犯下了怎样的错误，所以连带着他也感到十分的困惑，想不明白对方究竟为什么要这样做。

不过困惑归困惑，该做的事情还是必须要做的。

无论是出于哪方面的考虑，左思都绝不会允许恶魔对阿斯卡特拉造成太大的破坏。

正当他一边动员自己手头上的力量，一边打算前往蒙面法师公会总部去跟夏恩七世谈谈的时候，突然看到一个熟悉的身影躲在法师塔门口阴暗的角落里。

她不是别人，正是艾瑞尼卡斯的“好姐妹”，吸血鬼女王巴荻。

不过与上一次见面时略有不同，她原本近乎完美的身材出现了一点小小的瑕疵，那就是宛如孕妇般凸起的小腹。

“我的后裔呢？该不会是被你杀了吧？”

巴荻用一种满不在乎的语气率先开口打破了沉默。

“不，没有，我只是把她从你的人变成了我的人。”左思意味深长的回应道。

不用问也知道，那名吸血鬼少女被他制作成了一张低级的生物卡牌。

“是么，既然你喜欢那就送给你作为礼物好了。反正像这种后裔，我想制造多少就能够制造多少。”

巴荻舔着鲜红色的嘴唇摆出一副诱人的姿态开始缓缓向前靠近。

凭借其自身惊人的魅力跟美貌，还有那种无法用语言形容的危险野性，大多数普通人怕是在一瞬间就被其魅惑成功。

但左思却始终不为所动，当两人的距离不足十米的时候，他终于开口发出警告：“停下！否则我将视作这是你对我发起攻击的前兆。”

瞬间！

巴荻停下了脚步，微笑着解释道：“别那么紧张，我只是想要拉近一点我们之间的距离，以便可以让彼此的关系变得更亲密一点。”

“抱歉，我可没兴趣跟一个不死生物有任何亲密关系。如果你有什么事情就直说，如果没有就请滚远点，我还要去收拾你搞出来的烂摊子。要不是看在跟艾瑞尼卡斯的面子上，我甚至会直接亲自动手宰了你。”

在说这番话的刹那，左思的眼睛里透露出令人不寒而栗的幽光。

巴荻显然察觉到了那种赤裸裸毫不掩饰的厌恶，立刻后退了好几步，指着自己的小腹解释道：“我怀孕了！希望你帮我检查一下这究竟是怎么回事。”

“怀孕？”

左思的目光瞬间被那隆起的小腹所吸引。

透过不止一种的魔法视觉，他看到在这个强大吸血鬼女王的肚子里，有一团极致的黑暗能量包裹着某个东西。

“是的，怀孕。

而且我最近偶尔会产生无比真实的幻觉，看到一颗黑色宛如太阳般的巨大火球。

并且火球里还隐约有一个扭曲畸形的婴儿。

我需要你的帮助，比任何时候都需要。

作为回报，无论我肚子里的东西究竟是什么都归你了。

另外，我还会送给你一个非常特殊的后裔，相信看到她之后一定会非常高兴。”

巴荻一口气开出自己所能给予的最好条件。

因为她实在是被那种无比真实的幻觉吓得不轻。

左思眯起眼睛思考了几分钟，紧跟着回应道：“我可以帮你，但前提是你要跟我说明这一切发生的经过，不得有哪怕一丝一毫的隐瞒。否则的话就请回吧。”

“我……我在几天前趁着艾瑞尼卡斯外出，跟阿曼纳塔的圣者做了一些有趣的事情。结果不知道为什么，圣者突然就消失不见了。等返回墓园区之后，我才发现自己的小腹出现了异常……”

在描述这一过程中，巴荻的语气明显充满了悔恨的情绪，并且在一些细节方面不可避免的进行遮遮掩掩。

但左思何其聪明，一下子就明白了这个愚蠢的吸血鬼女王干了些什么。

亵渎神明！

而且还是最严重的那一种！ 不过只是单纯亵渎神明，显然并不足以发生后来的一系列状况。

所以在简单进行了分析之后，他立刻追问道：“我注意到你在描述的时候，中间似乎有一段空白的部分，这是怎么回事？”

"I was overwhelmed by a strong sense of excitement and pleasure at the time, and didn't notice the changes around me at all. But after it was over, all the immortal believers around the underground temple disappeared like the saints, without leaving any trace." Badi gave the answer very embarrassedly.

She didn't know why she was so impulsive and indulgent at that time, as if she was controlled by some force.

“So you later guided the devil worshippers to summon the six-armed snake demon lord in order to create chaos and killing to cover up the mistakes you made?” Zuo Si's eyes lit up slightly.

"Yes. If I didn't, Erinikas would have killed me. You have no idea how crazy and obsessed he has become in the past year or so."

When talking about his brother, Badi showed obvious awe and fear.

Just as she was thinking about what kind of tragic ending she would have if this matter was exposed, she suddenly found that Zuo Si had crossed a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of her. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the sensitive area between her cheek and ear, and said in a playful tone: "I can help you, but the conditions I just offered are far from enough. I want more!"

"No problem! Whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Badi obviously misunderstood something and bent down to cooperate.

But unfortunately, the things she expected did not happen.

Zuo Si quickly retracted his right hand and said bluntly: "I need you to be loyal to me and obey every order I give, even if it means stealing Erinikas' secrets and research progress."

"What? This is impossible! I would never betray my brother."

Badi woke up instantly, and his voice rose octaves.

“Don’t be so absolute.

Don't forget that since you made that fatal mistake, Erinikas is no longer your brother, but an enemy who may kill you at any time.

Your position and identity have changed, so since you are the enemy, how can you betray me?

Most importantly, Erinikas' goal is revenge and to become an elven god.

There is an essential difference between him and you.

Of course, that's fine if you insist.

Anyway, when Erinikas comes back to trade with me, do you think I will reveal some fatal information to him?"

As Zuo Si blurted out these threatening words, Badi felt like he had instantly fallen into a freezing ice cellar.

At this moment, she finally realized that her clever behavior was actually handing the handle to the terrible voter in front of her.

If he chose to cooperate, it would be equivalent to completely abandoning his blood relationship with Erinikas. Once exposed, he would be in a state worse than death.

If he refused to cooperate, Zuo Si would directly tell Erinikas about the matter, and the result would probably not be much different.

So no matter which one you choose, it means taking huge risks.

Although the former is slightly better than the latter, it is just a temporary solution.

For a moment, Badi's heart was in turmoil, and he was completely caught in a fear of the future.

After several minutes, she finally forced herself to stay calm and asked through gritted teeth, "You have been plotting against me and Erinikas from the beginning, right?"

"That's right!" Zuo Si admitted with a nod. "I am a person with a strong desire for revenge. From the moment you plotted against me, we have been enemies. But there are many kinds of enemies, some are overt and some are covert. You obviously belong to the latter."

"If I refuse, will you really tell Erinikas about that? Aren't you afraid that I will expose your conspiracy?" Badi tried to make a final struggle and resistance.

Even though she herself knew that it was all in vain.

"Hahahaha! Sometimes I really doubt whether you and Erinikas are really blood relatives?

Why are there such huge differences between children born to the same parents?

Do you think he didn't know what I was going to do? No! Erinikas knew all along.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he felt he could gain more by working with me.

So it doesn’t make much difference whether you say it or not.

But you are different! You are Erinikas's blood relative, and the only person he can trust when he was stripped of his elf identity and exiled.

Imagine if one day you found out that Erinikas had betrayed you, what would your reaction be like? "

Zuo Si laughed and revealed the difference between the two.

To be honest, he never thought that Badi would be so stupid as to hand over such a fatal handle to him.

In this way, the vampire queen will be under his control until Erinikas fails or dies.

Similarly, the forbidden research of Erinikas will be continuously passed on and become part of the huge knowledge reserve.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

After saying "damn it" three times in a row, Badi finally accepted his fate, knelt down in a very humiliating posture, and said in a trembling voice: "From today on, you are my master, and I will unconditionally obey every order you give."

"Very good! This is a good girl. Now, go back to your tomb. I will help you check your body after I deal with these demons that escaped from the Abyss."

After saying that, Zuo Si patted Badi's head gently, then walked away into the darkness at the end of the street.

After he was completely gone, Badi, filled with loss and frustration, staggered back to the cemetery like a zombie.

Along the way, a few hooligans who were tempted by the beauty came up and tried to make a move, but they were torn into pieces by the furious vampire queen in an instant, leaving a pile of mutilated body parts and large amounts of blood splattered all over the ground.

(End of this chapter)
