Bruno stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

If it were in the past, he might have felt happy and joyful for his friend.

Because he knew that what Trist had been pursuing all his life was just to find a place that was willing to accept him and live like an ordinary person, instead of walking on the street and being stared at by all kinds of hostile eyes.

But since becoming the king of Mithril Hall, the old dwarf quickly understood one thing in the intrigues, that is, politics is far from as simple as it seems to outsiders.

In particular, when a city gives someone privileges, it often means that this person may be required to do something extremely dangerous.

Drizzt shrugged nonchalantly: "I don't know. Perhaps the new ruler of Luskan is more open-minded.

As long as they abide by the rules and laws here, any intelligent creatures and races, except monsters such as orcs, goblins, gnolls, ogres and trolls, can come to do business.

As I entered, I saw a tribe of barbarians being allowed through the city gates with their furs and herbs.

All in all, I like Luskan right now.

It gave me a sense of freedom for the first time, not having to carefully hide my identity.”

But Bruno shook his head with a serious expression: "No, that's not right, it's definitely not that simple. I think they must want to get something from you..."

Before the dwarf could finish his words, he suddenly noticed that there was an extra person next to the table.

No! To be exact, it was not a person at all, but a shadow whose entire body was made up of some kind of black negative energy.

After realizing this, he and Drizzt put their hands on the handles of the weapons at their waists almost at the same time.

"Relax, don't be so nervous, I'm not your enemy." Yelnia said with a hint of playfulness in her tone.

Since the entire Shadow Legion was released not long ago to participate in the massacre of the entire Northern Orcs, she has been officially promoted to the "Shadow King" in the continuous and crazy killing. She is no longer a simple virtual body or a virtual body, but can switch freely between virtual and real bodies.

Not only that!

The Shadow King can also change the surrounding environment to a certain extent.

As long as Yelnia is willing, she can integrate the area within a radius of more than ten kilometers into the shadow plane at any time, making it live in darkness all year round, with no sight of the sun and blue sky above.

Likewise, she can also gain the blessing of the Shadow Plane, which creates a shield of negative energy around her body.

The most important thing is that any shadow creature that is not as high as the Shadow King in level will be dominated by an irresistible powerful force, even the Shadow Dragon is no exception.

It goes without saying that Yelnia's appearance here was entirely at Zuo Si's instruction.

"What is your purpose?" Trist asked cautiously.

Since he grew up in the extremely evil and chaotic dark elf city of Menzoberranzan, and witnessed many bloodthirsty, cruel, and twisted and morbid behaviors of his compatriots, although he himself is in the good camp, he has a very high tolerance for demons, devils, and undead creatures.

At least we can avoid direct conflict as much as possible when the other party does not provoke us and does not kill innocent people.

Yelinya responded meaningfully: "My master is very interested in the Underdark and your hometown, and wants a map to get there. I believe this should not be a big problem for you, right?"

"Who is your master? Do I know him?" Trist continued to ask cautiously.

He really couldn't imagine who could be the owner of such a dangerous monster in front of him.

"Haha, my master is Soth, and he is also the real ruler behind Luskan and the Nelanther Islands. The reason why you can enter this city through the main gate openly is thanks to his order."

Yelnia did not hide anything and revealed her identity openly.

Because this is no longer a secret, the top leaders of various towns in the North know something about it.

"Soth? The Chosen One of Talona, ​​the Goddess of Poison and Disease!"

When Trist heard the name, his expression immediately became serious.

As a ranger who often traveled through forests and remote mountains, he had witnessed with his own eyes the tragic scene of many orc tribes, regardless of gender, age or status, being wiped out by the plague. He had a very clear understanding of Zuo Si's terrifying power.

"You are also the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic." Yelinia added with a smile. "In return, not only can you move around Luskan and the Nelanthar Islands without hiding your identity, but you can also settle here, buy real estate, and engage in various activities without restrictions. How about that, isn't that a bad condition?"

"I don't understand what your master wants with the maps of the Underdark and Menzoberranzan?"

There was a hint of doubt in Trist's eyes, but he did not rush to agree or refuse.

Although he had no good feelings towards his hometown and compatriots, he did not want the city of Menzoberranzan to be destroyed by a terrible plague, and all the dark elves and their slaves to die in pain and despair.

"The master is simply interested in the dark elves. He has no intention of releasing the plague in Menzoberranzan, at least not yet." Yelinya obviously saw through what the ranger in front of her was worried about.

Drizzt lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay, I can draw a map leading to Menzoberranzan and the Underdark. But the condition is that you must meet your master and get his personal promise."

Yelinya answered without hesitation: "No problem. But the master is not in Faerun Continent right now, so you may have to wait for a while."

"It doesn't matter. The thing I have the most is time." Trist shrugged indifferently.

As a dark elf, he had a lifespan of at least eight hundred years, and he had only completed a tiny part of his long journey.

"I will convey your request to the master. In fact, he is also looking forward to meeting you."

After saying this, Yelnia stood up and turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the empty seat next to him, Bruno couldn't help but curse under his breath: "Damn it! I knew this matter wasn't that simple. Are you sure you really want to meet that dangerous guy?"

"Why not? I am quite interested in this Chosen One. On my way here, I passed by Silvermoon City and heard Lady Alustriel say that Soth might be the only one who could bring prosperity and wealth to the entire North. The changes in Luskan also prove this point."

As he spoke, Trist picked up a small piece of fried fish with sauce from the plate in front of him, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, savoring the unique deliciousness of sea fish.

"But he is also an extremely dangerous man. Whether it's the terrible monster just now, the plague raging in the northern orc tribes, or the purge in Luskan, they all show how ruthless he is when dealing with his enemies. Although I have to admit that slaughtering orcs is a very satisfying thing to do."

Bruno's mood inexplicably improved when he thought that Mithril Hall would not have to worry about harassment from the greenskins for a long time.

There's nothing we can do about it, since dwarves and orcs are sworn enemies.

To be exact, no one in the entire North likes these saboteurs who reproduce like locusts.

Just when Drizzt wanted to say something, he suddenly saw a very beautiful woman walking in from outside the tavern with a half-orc child.

Beautiful women, no matter at any time or place, will quickly attract the attention of other men around them, not to mention those guys who have lost their self-control due to the stimulation of alcohol.

In less than ten seconds, a drunk guy stood up, grinned and teased with dirty words: "Hey! Beauty! Are you interested in going to the guest room upstairs with me to have some fun? I promise that you will fall in love with this big treasure under my crotch after tasting it."

"Hahahaha! Come on! The last time you spent a gold coin to fool around with the maid, you couldn't even last ten minutes before you surrendered." Another drunkard next to him immediately laughed unscrupulously.

"Shut up! That was an accident! I drank too much and my mind was not clear at all." The sturdy man roared with a red face and a stern voice.

After all, in this regard, no matter where in the world, men will never give up easily.

"Really? Then prove it to us!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Prove it to us!"

"You don't dare, do you?"

…

For a moment, many people who wanted to watch the fun and were not afraid of causing any trouble joined in the fun.

Probably due to the dual effects of instigation and alcohol, the sturdy man's breathing quickly became rapid, and he wanted to pull the woman's clothes, wanting to prove his "masculinity" in public.

Seeing this, Drizzt and Bruno immediately stood up subconsciously and wanted to help.

They will not sit idly by and watch this kind of bullying happening before their eyes.

Unfortunately, just when the burly man was about to catch the woman, the latter suddenly raised her head and a red light shot out from her charming eyes.

The next second, the former fell to the ground with a thud as if he was drunk and snored deafeningly.

Because the whole process happened so quickly, most ordinary people were unable to notice it at all. They thought that this guy had drunk too much, and immediately burst into laughter and abuse.

Some scumbags also regretted not being able to have a shirtless fight in the tavern lobby.

"Is that magic?" Bruno asked in an uncertain tone.

Drizzt nodded slightly. "Yes, it should be some kind of hypnosis or charm spell. It seems that this lady's identity is not simple."

Just as the two sat down again and prepared to continue the previous topic, they suddenly saw the woman pull out a dagger from somewhere and stabbed it into the bartender's eyes at lightning speed.

Puff! With blood splattering everywhere, the latter fell to the ground without even having time to scream.

Then, in just a few seconds, the corpse changed from a slightly fat human male into a tiefling of purgatory blood with horns on his head, a tail behind him, and red skin.

The sudden change stunned everyone present! Even those who had originally had blurred vision and hazy consciousness became much more awake in an instant.

No one knew what was going on, and no one could understand how a beautiful and frail-looking woman could tell that there was something fishy about the bartender's identity.

At this moment, the whole pub was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Especially the guy who was swearing just now, he was so scared that his pants got wet.

But the woman was obviously used to such scenes. She bent down in a very elegant manner and pulled the dagger out of the corpse's eye socket. She shook off the blood stains on it, pursed her lips and asked with a half-smile: "Don't you plan to show up? Or do you think your identity has not been exposed yet and you can continue to hide? Don't be naive! I can smell the fireworks and sulfur smell from the Baator Hell even if I'm hundreds of meters away."

As these words came out, several guys who were sitting near the bar drinking in the last second took off their disguises and revealed their true faces in the next second.

Some of them are simply demons in disguise, while others, like the dead bartender, have very obvious characteristics of purgatory bloodline.

Although hybrids with extradimensional bloodlines are not uncommon in many big cities, anyone who is not a fool can realize that something is wrong when they gather in a tavern at the same time.

In order to protect themselves and stay away from danger, almost everyone who could still move in the tavern rushed to the door as fast as possible.

Even the drunkards who were unable to walk normally due to the influence of alcohol stumbled and crawled to the streets outside.

Only Drizzt and Bruno did not move, still sitting in an inconspicuous corner, wanting to see what was going on.

"Who are you? Why are you going against us?" A half-blood devil who was suspected to be the team leader asked with narrowed eyes.

The woman gently stroked the hair of the half-orc girl beside her, pursed her lips and revealed a sarcastic and mocking smile: "You are here to collect intelligence about the goddess's chosen one and secretly plot against him, and you have the nerve to ask me why I am against you?"

"You are from the Church of the Goddess of Poison and Disease!" The hybrid demon's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Church? No, no, no, I am the messenger sent by the goddess herself, and I am also the one who sounded the death knell for you. Now, feel Talona's wrath!"

As the last word came out of her mouth, the woman finally took off her disguise and revealed her succubus form.

She was none other than Ulrika, who had recently descended from the goddess kingdom into the material world.

The half-orc girl next to her is Corinna, who lost her mother and just returned to the civilized world with the refugee group.

"Poison Witch?!"

The half-blood demon in the lead suddenly changed his expression.

Obviously, as one of the very few demons who abandoned her chaotic nature and became a fanatical believer of the goddess of poison and disease, Ulrika had already been on the watchlist of all major forces including Hell.

In particular, his superb skills in using poisons had helped Talona solve many problems.

But unfortunately, it was too late.

Ulrika raised her hand and waved a finger lightly in the air. Black blood began to ooze out of the eyes, noses and mouths of all the devils and half-devils present uncontrollably, and then they fell to the ground one after another, losing the ability to resist.

Those pure-blooded devils are fine, as they can return to hell and be reborn even after death, but the half-blooded tieflings will have no second life once they die.

So they struggled desperately, trying to get the antidote from their bodies and drink it.

But the moment the potions were taken out, the succubus immediately swung the whip in her hand and smashed the precious potions one by one. She admired the mixed expressions of anger and despair on the other's face, walked up to one of the pure-blooded devils, and whispered in his ear: "In the name of Talona, ​​tell Grand Duke Disbart not to stretch his hand so far, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

"You will regret this, devil!" The devil threatened with his two pale yellow eyes.

This time Ulrika didn't say any nonsense, but raised her foot and stomped down hard.

Bang! After a muffled sound, the poisoned devil's head was crushed to pieces.

The other demons and half-demins also died quickly under the rapid power of the poison, and not even one of them escaped.

Such efficient, cruel and bloody killing undoubtedly frightened the ordinary people outside the tavern.

Amid their screams and shouts, the soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the city and the guards quickly rushed over and surrounded the scene.

After seeing the dead and the murderer clearly, the captain of the guards gasped instantly. He didn't dare to enter the tavern at all. Instead, he stood at the door and shouted in a nervous tone: "Devil! You have violated the laws of Luskan by committing a crime in public. It is best to put down your weapons and surrender immediately. Perhaps you can receive a fair trial from the law. Otherwise, when the support from the Mage Tower arrives, you will be handed over to them for disposal."

"I am the messenger of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease. Are you sure you want to arrest me?"

Ulrika smiled and lifted her cloak to reveal the holy symbol worn on her armor.

moment!

The captain of the guard was stunned. He opened his mouth several times to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.

He was no fool and understood that Eric was only a supreme leader in name only, and in reality he had little jurisdiction over either the military or the administrative agencies, and that Soth, the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease, was the supreme ruler of the city.

Looking at the Church of Talona that suddenly appeared in Luskan and the huge temple that is being built, it is not difficult to judge that it will become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the future.

Therefore, no one wanted to offend these church forces that might be closely connected with Soth, and even the public missionary activities of pastors and priests were given the green light.

The Church of the Magic Goddess also received special treatment and saw a sharp increase in the number of believers.

What’s more, the dead were not civilians or ordinary people, but demons and half-devils who were obviously plotting something.

In the end, the captain of the guard did not dare to embarrass the succubus. He allowed her to transform back into a human and walk out of the main gate with a swagger, then disappear at the end of the dark alley in the distance.

When they saw the black blood and corpses on the ground, they immediately asked the guards: "What happened here?"

"It was a succubus disguised as a human who suddenly attacked and killed these devils and half-devils disguised as humans. She claimed to be the messenger of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, and showed us the holy emblem." The captain hurriedly told what he knew.

"The messenger of Talona?" The mage showed a shocked expression.

Another wizard seemed to have remembered something and quickly reminded him, "Three days ago, a similar case seemed to have occurred in Wolf Howl Town. According to the locals, a succubus with a half-orc girl walked into a local farmer's house and killed her in public. After death, the body turned into a bloodline tiefling within a few seconds."

"You mean... this succubus could actually be the goddess's messenger, and is hunting down the devil's spies in our territory?"

"It's hard to say, but I think this possibility is not low. Anyway, let's report it first."

"Alas - I hate dealing with these dangerous corpses infected with poison."

很快，在几名法师讨论过后，一致决定把尸体带回去然后上报了事。

由于他们当中大部分都是最近才被各种薪资和福利待遇吸引过来的流浪法师，所以对于组织的忠诚度并不高，心态也大多是多一事不如少一事。

最好整个路斯坎安安静静别闹出什么跟魔法、诅咒、异界生物入侵有关的麻烦，这样一来自己就能安安稳稳待在法师塔内从事学习和研究。

就在法师和卫兵联手处理凶杀现场的时候，乌尔丽卡已经来到好几条街之外的地方。

此刻的她看起来就像是个旅行者，丝毫没有因为刚才杀人而有任何的激动、紧张等情绪。

甚至还在路边买了一大堆烤串，塞到跟在自己屁股后面的半兽人女孩科琳娜。

“给，快点趁热吃了吧。吃完之后，我们再去下个地方把这些老鼠统统清理干净。”

“谢……谢谢！”

由于受到人类母亲的影响，科琳娜明显不像其他半兽人那样粗鲁和无理，反倒给人一种羞怯的感觉。

她明显有些怕眼前这个杀人如麻的恶魔，但却不知道离开对方后自己能干些什么，是否又能在这个残酷的世界中生存下去，并完成母亲临死前的嘱托。

至少现在，她可以从对方手中获得足够且美味异常的食物，不必担心会被那些不怀好意的家伙掳走卖掉。

荒芜、贫瘠且寒冷的北地，从来都不是什么人间乐土。

刚好相反！

这里是犯罪与阴谋的滋生之地，更是各种怪物、盗匪、奴隶贩子、不法商人的天堂。

尽管才回到文明社会没几天，可半兽人女孩已经深刻感受到了那种比世界之脊群山中更加危险、严酷的生存环境。

一想到这些，她就立马举起烤串狠狠的从木签上咬下一块微烫的鹿肉用力咀嚼，以便胃能够更好的进行消化和吸收。

只有如此才能快点生长发育，从而获得足以自保的力量。

就在科琳娜边走边狼吞虎咽的时候，乌尔丽卡突然毫无征兆的停下了脚步，把目光投向身后的角落：“出来吧，别藏了，我知道你们一直跟在后面。”

话音未落！

崔斯特和布鲁诺便一前一后从拐角处走了出来。

很显然，从魅魔离开酒馆的时候他们就一直跟在后面想要搞清楚这究竟是怎么回事。

尤其是对于恶魔这种下层位面生物非常了解的黑暗精灵，对于任何恶魔的出现都保持着极高的警惕。

短暂的沉默过后，崔斯特率先单手抚胸鞠了一躬解释道：“尊敬的女士，请不误会，我们并不是来找麻烦的。”

“我当然知道你们不是来找麻烦的，否则的话在酒馆的时候就已经动手了。说吧，你们跟过来就行想要知道什么？”

不用问也知道，乌尔丽卡从走进酒馆的那一刻就认出了这两个已经渐渐开始走入诸神视线范围的凡人。

其中黑暗精灵游侠更是同时受到了包括森林女神梅莉凯、幽暗少女伊莉丝翠和蜘蛛女神罗丝等数位神明的重点关注，日后极有可能会成为选民。

“我想要知道您跟那些隐藏在人群中间的魔鬼与半魔鬼究竟是怎么回事？”崔斯特直截了当提出了自己最关心的问题。

乌尔丽卡嗤笑着回应道：“你问了一个愚蠢的问题，精灵。

恶魔与魔鬼的恩怨早就已经随着血战的不断延续而演变成一种针对彼此的强烈憎恨。

所以恶魔杀死魔鬼根本不需要什么理由，只因为他们是魔鬼这一条就足够了。

更何况，这件事情涉及到神明与地狱领主之间的争斗。

你和你的朋友确定要掺和进来吗？”

瞬间！

崔斯特似乎明白了什么，无言的再次行了一礼，随后拉着身边的矮人转身离开。

已经在地表世界生活了许多年的他十分了解人类诸神、魔鬼和恶魔之间的争斗有多么激烈，根本不像黑暗精灵的社会几乎完全被罗丝所掌控。

如果不想给自己找麻烦，最好的办法就是远离。

可就在他转身刚走出没几步的时候，突然听到背后传来魅魔的声音。

“等等！如果不介意的话，能麻烦你们帮我照看一下这个小家伙吗？”

“什么？”

黑暗精灵游侠停下脚步，转过身露出错愕的表情，瞥了一眼那个正在专心致志吃烤肉串的半兽人女孩。

“她叫科琳娜，母亲是个被兽人掳走并遭到强暴的可怜女人。

随着女神的选民索斯降下瘟疫，整个北地的兽人部落开始大规模死亡，这对母女才重新获得自由。

只可惜，那个女人在承受了多年折磨之后已经耗尽了生命，所以我只能带着她来到文明世界。

不过我眼下还肩负着使命，可能要面对一些危险，没办法分神照顾她。”

乌尔丽卡大概介绍了一下情况。

如此悲惨的身世，瞬间引发了崔斯特善良的本性与同情心，不加思索的点了点头：“当然，没问题，我可以照顾她一段时间，前提是她本人不排斥我这个黑暗精灵的话。”

“你不要我了吗？”

科琳娜立马停止进食，抬起头盯着魅魔的眼睛。

乌尔丽卡笑着回应道：“不，孩子，我只是暂时找人抚养你一段时间。等我解决了那些来自地狱的小老鼠，自然就会把你接回来。毕竟你可是被女神亲自选中的人，未来将会肩负非常重要的使命。”

“使命？”科琳娜眼神中透露出对于未来的无限迷茫。

她不明白、也无法理解如此弱小的自己，究竟有什么资格会被塔洛娜看中。

但乌尔丽卡并没有解释什么，仅仅只是推了半兽人女孩一下。

带着些许不安与紧张，科琳娜终于缓缓走到黑暗精灵的面前，瞪着那双纯真清澈的眼睛看着对方。

崔斯特感觉自己内心最柔软的地方像是被什么东西狠狠的刺了一下，弯下腰勉强挤出一丝笑容安慰道：“别怕，虽然我并不富裕，但一定会把你照料的很好。”

“我能跟你学习如何穿戴盔甲和使用武器吗？”女孩用不是很确定的语气问。

她注意到了游侠挂在腰间的两把弯刀，眼睛里开始闪烁着渴望的光芒。

由于在兽人部落中女性地位极端地下的缘故，身为女孩的科琳娜根本没有机会接触这些东西，那是只有男性才有配获得的特权，自己只能用羡慕的眼神看着男孩在成年战士的呵骂声中挥舞木头长矛、棍棒等武器扭打在一起。

随着母亲的死去，寄人篱下的感觉使得她比以往更加迫切想要获得力量。

因为只有获得力量，才能去完成母亲临终前的遗愿，才能真正掌握自己的命运，才能侍奉自己所信仰的女神——塔洛娜。

“当然，只要你喜欢的话。不过战士训练可不是件轻松的活，你必须要做好吃苦的准备。”崔斯特忍不住露出了淡淡的笑容。

由于黑暗精灵是母系社会的关系，所以他并没有养成地表男权社会中那些歧视女性，认为女性力量方面不如男性，所以成不了好战士的坏习惯。

“我不怕吃苦！更不怕受伤！”科琳娜信誓旦旦的保证道。

就这样，崔斯特和他的好友布鲁诺很快便带着半兽人女孩转身离开。

不出意外的话，他们会返回相对安全的秘银厅并在那里居住上一段时间。

等三人的背影消失在街道拐角，幽影之王叶利尼娅便从阴影中钻出来，用略带玩味的语气讽刺道：“利用黑暗精灵崔斯特帮忙训练一个信奉塔洛娜的强大战士？你还真是的的一手好算盘呢。”

“别那么尖酸刻薄。科琳娜是女神为自己选民专门标记的得力助手，未来会被赋予强大的能力，时刻保护瘟疫之子的安全。身为仆从，你应该为自己的主人感到高兴才对。”乌尔丽卡脸上挂着戏谑的微笑。

从两人的对话不难看出，她们早就已经认识了彼此，并且也相互知道对方的身份。

“保护？哈哈哈哈！你是在逗我发笑吗？主人才不需要什么保护，反倒是他的敌人更需要。还有，你清理那些魔鬼探子手段太粗暴了，会引起不必要的恐慌。”叶利尼娅发出一阵不屑的冷笑。

“这也是没办法的事情。目前北地的局势太复杂，散塔林会内部的斗争正在变得日趋激烈，希瑞克和班恩的教会力量也蠢蠢欲动，我必须要快刀斩乱麻完成女神所交付的任务。”魅魔替自己辩解道。

“主人跟班恩教会已经达成了同盟，打算与傅佐尔·钱伯瑞联手干掉曼松，到时候整个散塔林会也将成为盟友。所以你最好不要胡乱搞事情，不然的话我会亲自出手割开你的喉咙。”

撂下这句充满威胁的话之后，叶利尼娅便再次没入阴影之中。

Ulrika, who stayed where she was, stroked her chin and muttered to herself, "Alliance with Bane's church? Is the Son of Plague planning to help the God of Tyranny resurrect to weaken the power of the Dark Sun? Or does he have a bigger plan? Damn it! I have to tell the goddess about these things as soon as possible."

After saying that, the succubus quickly found an inn to stay in, and took out the holy emblem in the room to pray secretly.

After a while, Talona in the outer plane kingdom learned all the details.

She was sitting on the huge throne, looking far ahead. After a full minute, she asked, "Do you think Soth really wants to help Bane, the God of Tyranny, to be resurrected?"

"It's hard to say. But this is not a bad thing for us, but a good thing. At least Bane's resurrection can tear off several priesthoods and a large number of believers from Cyric, and it can also attract Cyric's attention to the maximum, thus buying us more time." Torture Goddess Lovita analyzed seriously.

Since the conclusion of the alliance, the two formed a good cooperative relationship in a very short time.

Talona, ​​in particular, was very generous in allowing believers to build a shrine to the torture goddess Lovita in her own temple.

As a result, the latter gradually enjoyed some benefits by virtue of its rapidly expanding influence.

Obviously, in the eyes of these two goddesses, Cyric, who became a powerful god after the end of the turbulent years, is an absolute "upstart" and a madman, and is not worthy of being a qualified god at all.

In comparison, they prefer the three gods of death of that time: Baal, Melkor and Bane.

This is why, even though Cyric has obtained all the priesthoods of the Three Gods of Death, neither Talona nor Loviata have the slightest intention of getting closer to him.

Before Zuo Si arrived, the two evil goddesses would rather choose to flirt with Shar, the goddess of the night who planned countless conspiracies.

"You are right. If Bane is resurrected, it will be good for all of us." Talona nodded in agreement. "But the question is, if Bane is successfully resurrected, can Baal and Melkor also be resurrected? If all three gods of death are resurrected, how can we implement our plan?"

"Regarding this point, I think you should find an opportunity to have a good talk with the Chosen One. Only if he is willing to support and help you, will you have the opportunity to obtain the priesthood of death that you have always dreamed of, even if it is only a small part, and thus get the last piece of the puzzle to become a powerful god." Lavita said meaningfully.

When this matter was mentioned, Talona immediately became very angry and gnashed her teeth and said, "Do you think I didn't want to? It's all because of that bastard Ilmater! He gave the remaining power in Baal's heart to Soth, which prevented me from actively entering his spiritual world. Later, that shameless bitch Midnight gave me the Silver Fire, which made my influence on him weaker and weaker."

"But at least he didn't explicitly reject you. This is actually an opportunity. Let's see if you can seize it. Besides, didn't you send that succubus to the material plane just to bypass those surveillance?"

While saying this, the corners of Lavita's mouth slightly raised, as if she had guessed something.

"Soth is not in Faerun right now, but has gone to other planes that I don't know about. When he comes back, I will contact him as soon as possible. No matter what the Goddess of Magic and the God of Knowledge give him, I can give more." Talona's eyes flashed with naked and undisguised strong possessiveness.

Seeing this, Lovita nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, that's right. You should have this awareness. Because your chosen one has infinite potential and is worth any price. Also... you don't mind me listening in on your conversation, right?"

"Don't even think about it!" Talona refused without hesitation. "Sos is mine, and you will never get a piece of it."

"Haha, that's not necessarily true. In my opinion, he has great potential in torturing his enemies. Especially the sentence 'death is not your enemy, but eternity is', which simply elevates the abuse to an unprecedented level. Only eternal pain is real pain, and only eternal regret is the best way to torture a person to madness."

There was a hint of excitement in Lovita's tone.

Because among her followers, no one has ever been able to express such "pleasant" and "beautiful" insights.

If possible, she even wanted to ask Zuo Si to teach those idiots in her church a lesson, so that they would understand what real torture, pain, abuse and torture are.

Especially when she saw the conflicted and struggling soul of Yelnia, the King of Shadows, the goddess would tremble with excitement.

That feeling is like layers of waves rushing towards the shore, bringing it an enjoyment that cannot be described in words.

Compared with this extreme mental torture, physical torture is so low-level and completely boring.

"Humph! Stop dreaming. Soth won't be interested in your ridiculous and stupid doctrines."

Talona smiled contemptuously, and then ignored this mentally ill ally.

If it were in the past, she would certainly not be qualified to say this, because her own teachings were not much better.

However, with the birth of the Protestant sect and the transformation of the camp towards neutrality, the twisted, crazy and reckless thoughts in the mind are gradually being suppressed, and at the same time, another new concept is beginning to take root in the heart.

Because of this, the goddess of poison and disease is extremely eager to obtain a part of the priesthood of death.

In this way, she can connect all the priesthoods together to form a perfect logical chain and a cycle from birth to death.

By then, its influence will surely expand rapidly, and it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a powerful divine power.

Thinking of this, Talona immediately reached out and gently stroked the bust of Zuo Si on the armrest of the throne, her eyes revealing infinite doting.

In her eyes, no matter what her Plague Son did, it could be forgiven.

Even if Zuo Si accepted the silver fire bestowed by the goddess of magic, it must be that bitch Midnight who seduced his chosen people, not his chosen people's fault.

The same logic can be applied to Oghma, the god of knowledge...

(End of this chapter)
