Sunset Street is located on the south bank of the river that runs through the city.
During the reign of the Arcane Brotherhood, the area was dotted with caravan yards, as well as numerous residential areas and shops.
As it is very close to the port, it always seems to be so lively.
However, after the fleet of the Nelanther Islands captured Luskan, a large number of illegal merchants, thieves guilds and pirates were uprooted, and the area fell into a brief depression.
During the first few days, local residents did not even dare to go out easily, for fear that they would be caught by patrols as criminals and sent to mines or farms outside the city to perform hard labor.
But not long after, when the Amn fleet loaded with all kinds of daily necessities and commodities arrived at the port, they gradually let down their guard and began to accept employment from the new rulers, engaging in various repair and reconstruction work.
Of course, this was forced.
After a large number of immigrants from Mingtan Island entered Luskan, the locals found that if they were not more proactive, they would inevitably be replaced by the other side.
If we were to be driven out at that time, the dangers of the northern wilderness might cause the entire family, young and old, to die.
So in order to survive and to fight against immigrants who were squeezing out their living space, the local residents of Sunset Street finally chose to unite and work hard to prove their worth.
Just look at the widened streets and the large number of houses on both sides that are being repaired, demolished and rebuilt, and you will know that this place will inevitably become the most prosperous neighborhood in the entire Luskan in the future.
The Seven Sails Hostel is located right in the heart of Sunset Street.
Unlike the most noisy traditional pubs and inns that make their money mainly from food and alcohol, although this place also provides alcohol and food, no one is allowed to make loud noises.
Even the first-floor lobby, which was packed with people, seemed quite quiet, and the guests would keep their voices as low as possible even when talking to each other.
The reason is very simple.
The main service of Qifan Hostel is to provide a place where customers can have a good sleep without being affected by the outside world.
Although it seems ordinary at first glance, considering the poor security situation in Luskan under the rule of the Arcane Brotherhood, where thieves, bandits, and spies are everywhere, it is easy to judge that the boss here is quite extraordinary.
For a long time, the Seven Sails Inn was a target of close surveillance.
The top brass of the Arcane Brotherhood believed that this might be a base of the Harpers, but they had never found any evidence.
But now, with the fall of the Arcane Brotherhood, it is no longer under surveillance.
Because Zuo Si didn't care at all about the so-called "intelligence" collected by the Harper Alliance.
All his actions that really needed to be concealed were actually carried out through the liches of the Arcane Mystic Society.
As for the forces that are in the open, such as Luskan and the Nelanther Islands, they are simply used to make money and collect various precious spellcasting materials, magic metals, gems and other things.
The main duties of the army and guards are just to maintain law and order, and there is no expectation that they can play any role in some real battlefield.
Of course, the reason why there were three times more people gathered in the lobby of Qifan Hotel than usual was not because business had suddenly improved.
If you observe carefully, you will find that almost all the people sitting at the tables are men, and many of them are locals who have houses and residences. They obviously don't need to spend money to stay in such expensive hotels.
But what's interesting is that they are now gathered together, drinking and glazing at the stairs to the second floor out of the corner of their eyes, as if waiting for something.
After about three to five minutes, a beautiful woman in a translucent black silk dress suddenly appeared at the stairs and walked down from the second floor slowly with a very elegant and fascinating pace.
For a moment, these men seemed to have lost their souls. They stared straight at her, swallowing their saliva continuously and even blinking their eyes, for fear of missing any moment.
Apparently, she was the source of the Seven Sails Hostel's booming business in recent days.
After all, chasing after beautiful women of the opposite sex is an instinct engraved in men's genes.
The strong reproductive urge and the uninterrupted estrus period of twelve months a year keep this instinct activated.
When the woman walked down the last step, a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman sitting nearby immediately stood up and greeted her attentively: "Good day, Ms. Ulrika. Are you planning to go out? I happen to have a luxurious carriage that can take you anywhere you want to go..."
Before the merchant could finish his words, a sturdy man dressed as an adventurer pushed him aside, puffed out his chest to show off his muscular body, and said with a ferocious expression that he thought was kind but was actually enough to scare a child to tears: "Madam, I think you should be a qualified guard, not a businessman who only knows how to talk smoothly."
"Damn it! How dare you do this to me?"
The businessman was obviously very angry and immediately waved to call several fully armed bodyguards and guards.
The sturdy man dressed as an adventurer was not to be outdone and directly took off the double-edged ax on his back.
The front end, which was shining coldly and extremely heavy, instantly stopped the bodyguards, who outnumbered them, from taking any further action.
They are not fools and understand the consequences of being hit by such a weapon.
Even if the helmet and armor can block the sharp blade, the bones and internal organs will be shattered under the huge impact, causing fractures, massive internal bleeding and other serious injuries that may lead to death.
If a normal, weak woman saw such a conflict that might result in bloodshed, she would definitely be terrified.
But Ulrika is obviously not ordinary.
Because she is a succubus, what she likes to see most is mortals falling under her charm, even to the point of killing each other and causing rivers of blood to flow.
So instead of having any intention of stopping it, there was a barely perceptible hint of amusement in his eyes, and he pretended to be hesitant and embarrassed.
This hesitation and embarrassment undoubtedly gave the businessman and the strong man some illusion that they could win the favor of the beauty as long as they got rid of each other.
As a result, the strong man was the first to lose control and wanted to express himself, so he roared and launched the attack first.
Bang! With the loud noise of the ax hitting the shield and the flying wood chips, a battle caused by jealousy finally began.
In just a few seconds, the entire hall was in chaos.
The other guests, fearing they might be accidentally implicated, rushed to the street as fast as they could.
As for those who couldn't run away, they all rushed to the bar or the stairs leading to the second floor.
After all, this wasn't a bar fight where only fists were used, but a fight involving lethal weapons.
In particular, the horrific marks left by the ax on the shield are enough to discourage civilians who have not received professional training from getting involved.
Ulrika immediately retreated to a safe place, licking her tempting red lips with her tongue, and enjoying the bloody conflict that broke out among these foolish mortal men for her. She murmured to herself in a voice that only she could hear: "What an interesting and familiar scene. I never get bored no matter how many times I watch it."
Just as she was about to take advantage of the chaos to leave quietly, she suddenly felt a familiar breath appear behind her.
"Yelinya, is that you?" the succubus asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.
moment!
A black shadow appeared out of nowhere and quickly condensed into the appearance of a half-elf assassin.
"Come with me, the master wants to see you." Yelnia stated her purpose directly.
She didn't care at all about the fight that was happening in the Seven Sails Inn, as if she didn't see it at all.
Because the people of Faerun are originally tough, especially in the North, which is on the edge of wilderness and civilization, similar things are very common.
Even a city-state like Silvermoon City, which is ruled by Alustriel, has to deal with several to dozens of related cases every day.
Not to mention Luskan, which was already in great chaos.
Generally speaking, as long as no one is killed and no irreversible lifelong disability is caused, the crime will usually be resolved by a fine and a period of imprisonment.
"Master? So the Plague Child of the Goddess has returned!"
Ulrika's eyes sparkled with undisguised excitement and surprise.
But unfortunately, Yelnia did not intend to answer this question. She simply turned around and left through the back door of the hostel and went into a narrow and dim alley.
The succubus followed without any hesitation.
After walking about fifty meters, the two men went into the intricate sewers of Luskan one after the other, and finally stopped at a secret base previously built by the ratmen.
"Master, I brought the person to you."
Yelnia placed one hand on her chest and bowed deeply to Zuo Si who was standing there.
"Well done. You can go do other things now. I want to talk to her alone next."
Zuo Si waved his hand gently, signaling the shadow assassin, who had become quite dangerous, to retreat.
You should know that the title "Shadow King" does not refer to a certain type of shadow creature, but is a general term for all shadow creatures whose strength reaches a certain level.
In the shadow plane, there are countless shadow kings, and the gap in strength between them is huge.
Once the most powerful of them enter the material world, they will immediately start a war that will sweep across several countries, twisting the land that was originally bathed in sunlight into an environment that is extremely similar to the shadow plane.
But the weakest Shadow King may be only slightly more powerful than a higher-level Shadow, and at best can affect the environment within a few thousand meters around it.
In Yelnia's current condition, she is probably only slightly stronger than the weakest Shadow Kings.
Her real strength lies in the fact that she personally killed and converted an astonishing number of shadow armies.
When needed, he can recover from injuries and strengthen his talents and spell-like abilities by devouring low-level shadows at any time.
Especially some of the skills derived from the profession of assassin in his previous life are simply hard to guard against.
For example, if negative energy is used instead of poison on a weapon to launch a sneak attack or backstab, even if the attack does not hit a vital point, the creature will be corroded by the negative energy and suffer a series of fatal negative effects such as paralysis, immobilization, and weakness.
For example, within the "field" that she controls, she can instantly exchange positions with any shadow.
In short, Yelnia's strength is closely related to the large-scale massacres of monsters such as orcs, goblins and gnolls, as well as the astonishing number of shadow legions under her command.
Unlike the fixed strength of the ordinary summoned creatures of the Planeswalker, she has quite amazing growth potential.
But at the same time, if it is killed one day, it cannot be resurrected like other summoned creatures, but must use the card again to transform a new shadow servant.
In addition, the transformed shadow armies will instantly lose control.
Therefore, Zuo Si was very careful in using this subordinate, and most of the time he was asked to do tracking, surveillance, and intelligence gathering, rather than letting him try to assassinate dangerous enemies.
After watching Yelnia's back disappear into the darkness, Zuo Si turned his gaze to the succubus who claimed to be the messenger of the goddess of poison and disease.
Through the planeswalker's high sensitivity to energy and the resonance of Talona's divine power in his body, he easily confirmed the other party's identity and asked directly, "I heard that you were hunting spies from Baator in the Luskan area recently?"
"Yes. This is one of the many missions the goddess has given me. It is a great honor to meet you in person, the great son of plague."
Ulrika lifted her skirt and bent her knees slightly to perform a skirt-lifting gesture reserved for noble ladies and gentlemen.
It has to be said that as a demon who specializes in tempting mortals to fall, when she maintains her human form, she does have a kind of beauty that cannot be described in words. Even unintentional movements can maximize a person's potential desires.
"So Talona already knows about the feud between me and Grand Duke Disbart, the lord of the second layer of hell?" Zuo Si continued to test him calmly.
Ulrika smiled and nodded, "Of course. The goddess has been watching your every move, and her love for you surpasses anything in this world. After these days of cleanup, there are no signs of demonic activities around Luskan. I don't think they will continue to send more people in the short term."
"That sounds like good news. At least I don't have to worry too much about those devils causing trouble in my territory.
But aren't you afraid of being surrounded and attacked by the good gods and holy warriors for such blatant activities? You know, I invited the Knights of the Burning Heart of Askatra to move in.
If they find out you are a succubus, they won't care whether you are a believer of God or not, they will immediately choose to take the most extreme countermeasures. "
When saying this, there was clearly a hint of threat in Zuo Si's tone.
But Ulrika shrugged her shoulders and said, "Let's not talk about whether those rigid paladins can do this. Even if they can do it, will you, the chosen one, just sit there and watch? You must know that I am sent by the goddess to help you. I am your most steadfast and trustworthy assistant."
Zuo Si responded meaningfully: “Sorry, it’s hard to say.
You should know that not long ago, a guy appeared from nowhere and claimed to be a follower of the goddess, spreading the so-called plague and doomsday everywhere.
As a result, he was arrested by the Knights Templar and sentenced to death on charges of sedition.
But I didn't interfere at all.
Please remember that you are an emissary of Talona and that your presence here does not mean you have unlimited privileges, but rather you must abide by the rules I set.
If you cross that red line, there is only one result, which is to be ruthlessly eliminated.
This is my first warning to you, and it will also be my last.
If you continue to stir up trouble in the city, the next time we meet, we may not be having a peaceful conversation like we are now."
As the last word came out of her mouth, a serious and solemn expression appeared on Ulrika's originally playful face.
Although she had heard about it before, the Son of Plague was quite unimpressed with the Goddess's followers and the church.
But he never expected that just playing with those mortals for his own amusement would cause such strong disgust from the other party.
The chill revealed in those black eyes was definitely not just a verbal threat.
After a long silence, Ulrika finally put away her nonchalant look, straightened her attitude, bowed and said, "I'm very sorry that the little game I used to kill time caused some misunderstandings and troubles. But I am indeed here in the name of the goddess to help you eliminate the enemies hiding in the darkness."
"In that case, you should keep a low profile and perform your duties instead of launching attacks everywhere and making everyone aware of it. Besides, Talona didn't send you to the material world just to deal with some Hell Spies, did she?"
It was obvious that Zuo Si was very dissatisfied with the succubus's brutal killing.
Because many of the destroyed strongholds were under the surveillance of shadow creatures. Far from being a threat, this channel could be used to let the devil dukes in hell know some of the things he wanted them to know.
This is just like in modern countries on Earth, when one discovers an intelligence agency set up by an enemy country within one's own territory, the first reaction is often not to destroy it immediately, but to pretend that one knows nothing, keep surveillance in secret, and then look for an opportunity to use it in reverse.
But now, after this series of massacres, all the previous work and efforts have been in vain.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party had good intentions but a wicked end, and was also the goddess's messenger, he would have probably been made into a card by now, or fixed on a dissecting table as experimental material for studying the physiological structure of succubus.
"The goddess asked me to hand this scroll to you personally, and also instructed you to open it only when there are no outsiders around."
As she spoke, Ulrika carefully took out a parchment scroll that emitted a gray glow from her underwear.
Needless to say, the gray glow is a manifestation of the overflow of divine power.
"reel?"
Zuo Si took it subconsciously and immediately felt a divine power belonging to Talona.
Before he could check it, the scroll suddenly opened by itself without any warning and released unimaginable energy.
This energy enveloped the succubus' entire body in less than a second.
In the blink of an eye, Ulrika's body shape began to change dramatically, and finally fixed on the appearance of a young woman who looked to be in her twenties.
This image was almost the same as the incarnation of Talona that Zuo Si saw last time.
Without a doubt!
However, this time, she did not descend as a combat incarnation with powerful divine powers, but just an ordinary incarnation, without the qualifications to cast various powerful spell-like abilities and extraordinary divine powers.
In other words, her current state is that of an ordinary human with a little bit of strength. Apart from the slight immunity brought by divine power, she is not suitable for fighting at all.
"Ah! We finally meet again, Soth. Do you know how much I missed you and longed to hug and kiss you during this period of isolation?" Talona said in an extremely resentful tone.
"So Ulrika and her mission were just a bait? Your real purpose was to create an opportunity to meet me alone without interference from other gods?"
Zuo Si obviously didn't expect that such a goddess would actually act like a resentful woman in the boudoir, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Especially the other party's gaze full of strong possessiveness, which made the hairs all over his body stand up involuntarily.
This is too creepy! Not to mention a goddess with great power, even if a woman stares at him like this, I guess few men can stand it.
At this moment, Zuo Si finally understood why Elminster said that after learning that the second-generation magic goddess fell in love with him, nothing in this world could scare him anymore.
If being blessed by God is a kind of luck, then being loved by God can definitely be called a disaster.
This can be seen from Elminster's personal experience.
You should know that when Elminster was wandering around and learning magical knowledge, he was changed into different images by the second-generation magic goddess more than once, and even did some unspeakable things to his gender.
The number of ways to play is beyond imagination.
And because he is a believer and elect of the magic goddess, the goddess can enter his spiritual world at any time and appear beside him to demand spiritual and physical pleasure. There is no privacy at all.
How many mortals can endure such a life for long?
No wonder when the second generation magic goddess was looking for other voters, Elminster did not show any intention of competing for favor or jealousy. He probably just wanted someone to share his pressure.
As long as the number of the goddess's lovers continues to increase, the frequency of their visits to her will naturally decrease.
Talona obviously noticed Zuo Si's subconscious stress reaction. She walked closer with a smile, reached out her hand to hold his cheek and kissed him gently on the forehead, then explained in an almost doting tone: "It can't be considered bait. After all, the devils' behavior this time really made me very angry, so it's good to teach them a lesson.
I said, you belong to me, and no one can take you away from me.
Whether it's the demons that spy on your soul, or the new generation of magic goddess Midnight and the god of knowledge Oghma.
But the main purpose is to bypass Ilmater. This damn guy is staring at me very closely. If I send down my avatar directly, he will definitely intercept me.
Now, we can finally talk face to face.
First of all, I want to tell you a good news. That is, thanks to your efforts, my influence has spread all over the west coast of the continent of Faerun, and I was officially promoted to a medium-level god not long ago.
This means I can grant you greater and more powerful voter abilities.
How about it, isn’t it a surprise?”
As she spoke, a smile mixed with relief and pride appeared on the goddess' face.
Because all this is due to Zuo Si.
In particular, the large-scale use of plague to carry out genocide against the orcs allowed the northern towns plagued by these monsters to see another possibility, a means to solve the threat from the wild world once and for all in an extremely cheap way.
Since the chosen ones of the Goddess of Poison and Disease can create a plague targeting only orcs, there should naturally be a plague targeting monsters such as goblins, orcs, gnolls, ogres, and trolls.
Many places suddenly allowed the Church of Talona to preach openly and build temples, hoping that they could research these plagues and then release them into the monster communities in the forest.
In this way, the safety factor of the entire northern wilderness will inevitably rise sharply, which will not only protect the lives and property of the people, but also reduce transportation costs and promote trade prosperity.
It's like killing two birds with one stone! Especially for new sects of non-evil factions, they teach believers how to identify, extract and preserve various toxins, which are very popular among hunters and adventurers engaged in outdoor activities.
After all, poison is a very effective means of defeating the enemy, and can help these people easily defeat beasts and monsters that are far more powerful than themselves.
Despite the propaganda of churches including the God of War Tempus, the God of Justice Tyr, and the Lord of the Dawn Lathander, poison is something that only despicable people use, and true warriors and upright people will not use it.
But unfortunately, the harsh living environment in the North makes the residents here believe in pragmatism more rather than the so-called "honor" and "nobility".
In some towns, there were even workshops and shops that specialized in purchasing raw materials and processing them into poisons.
Zuo Si certainly knew about the changes in the north.
But he dared to swear to heaven that he had absolutely no intention of helping Talona expand her influence. He just wanted to retaliate against the orcs for the attack on him. Everything that happened afterwards was the result of various unexpected factors mixed together.
However, Talona obviously did not think so, and said to herself: "With the promotion to the middle power, the potential of poison and disease in the two priesthoods I possess has been exhausted. If I want to get the key to powerful divine power, I must obtain a more powerful and widely recognized new priesthood. The part of the death priesthood possessed by the late God of Murder Baal is exactly what I desperately want."
"Toxins, disease and death, you want to create a cycle from life to death?"
Zuo Si keenly captured the goddess's thoughts.
Because it's not hard to guess.
In the absence of the priesthood of death, whether it is poison or disease, they are just prefixes that serve the final result of death. They have inherent defects, so it is impossible for them to become a member of the powerful divine power.
But having the priesthood of death, even if it is only a part of it, is a qualitative leap for Talona.
At least she represents a law that is universal in the multiverse.
For any god who possesses a similar priesthood, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a member of the powerful divine power as long as he works hard.
In fact, in Faerun, powerful divine powers generally have two characteristics.
One of them is that its priesthood represents a universal phenomenon and rule.
For example, Silvanus, the god of nature, Tyr, the god of justice, Suna, the goddess of love and beauty, Tempus, the god of war, and so on.
As for the other type, they are the creator and patron saint of a specific race among the priests.
The dwarven god Moradin, the elf god Corellon, and the dwarf god Garl Glittergold all fall into this category.
It was because Rose launched the War of the Spider Queen and killed all her own children, and eventually dominated the faith of the entire Dark Elves, that she was promoted from a medium-level divine power to a great divine power.
Obviously, it is unrealistic for Talona to become the patron saint of a certain race.
Unless she creates a completely new race from now on, and then allows it to reproduce and thrive on the planet Toril, and then wait for the race to grow and become strong after thousands of years.
Therefore, obtaining the priesthood of death became the only option.
"You are indeed worthy of being my chosen one. You are really smart and you understood my intention at once. That's right! I want Baal's death priesthood to create a cycle. And I know that you are also very interested in the matter of the Son of Baal."
Talona had no intention of hiding it and admitted it openly.
Zuo Si lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked in an uncertain tone: "Why let me do this? Baal has fallen, and his vacant throne is right there, why not just take it?"
Talona smiled and replied, "Because the gods are mutually restrained. No matter how powerful one is, there will always be a god who opposes it. So if I take action, then Ilmater, Cyric and many other gods will react immediately. But if it were you, it would be different. And I promise that as long as Baal's priesthood of death is yours, as for the throne and divine power he left behind, you can take it away."
"real?"
When Zuo Si heard the conditions offered by the goddess, his eyes lit up instantly.
As his planeswalker level reached LV10, he was worrying about where to get so much mana.
Do I really have to go and participate in a bloody battle? But if I can absorb and transform the remaining divine power in the Throne of Baal, then it shouldn't be a big problem to upgrade two levels.
What's more, obtaining the realm of death and advancing to a true necromancer was one of Zuo Si's plans a long time ago.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you? And after I get the priesthood of death, I will grant you new fields and abilities." Talona promised without hesitation.
"Okay! Then I will join in this game. I hope those sons of Bhaal won't be scared."
As he spoke, Zuo Si slowly raised his hand and released a scarlet light of divine power, which then suddenly exploded in the air and tore a mouse hiding in a dark corner into pieces.
As the god of murder, the greatest feature of Baal's power is his control over blood and his unparalleled killing nature.
Once touched by this divine power, most people would not even have the chance to react, and all the blood vessels in their body, including their heart, would explode immediately.
In fact, the three gods of death each received a part of the death priesthood from the ancient god of death, Jaeger.
The only difference is that what Bane obtained was the death that symbolizes destruction, while what Melkor obtained was death itself, and what Baal obtained was the embodiment of death - killing.
Although Baal is not the most powerful of the three gods of death, the effects of his power are the most dangerous.
Talona undoubtedly sensed the aura of Baal and asked in a very surprised tone: "Are you able to control this divine power?"
"Of course! As long as it is energy, whether it is magical energy or divine power, there is no secret in front of me. And I promise that you will get the priesthood of death belonging to the God of Murder. In addition, can you please not make overly intimate moves when you meet? This makes me feel very troubled."
Zuo Si took a step back calmly, avoiding the goddess' intention to hug and kiss him.
But Talona was not angry about this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Why are you confused? I am expressing my love for you."
Just when Zuo Si was about to say no to the goddess, Talona suddenly stopped some of her movements for some reason, turned her head as if listening to something, and soon her face changed drastically, and she immediately cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! I was so careful, but why did Ilmater still notice it?"
After saying this, she no longer cared to continue teasing her voters and immediately turned into a beam of light and disappeared without a trace.
As for Ulrika, whose body was occupied, she returned to her original succubus form almost instantly, fell to the ground and fell into a deep coma.
Obviously, bearing the divine power is quite a burden for her, and she will probably need to rest for at least a few days before she can wake up.
And that scroll had already turned into ashes under the burning flames.
"You are really lucky. You have won the favor of a goddess." The diary suddenly said teasingly.
Zuo Si wiped the lipstick marks on his forehead and rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Stop talking nonsense. Help me think of a way to get out of this creepy situation. I don't want to find a goddess suddenly around me when I am concentrating on doing experiments, conducting magic research or taking a rest."
"I'm sorry, I'm just a collection of your past memories and thoughts. If even you can't do anything, how can I know how to solve it? But there's no need to worry too much. At least you can be sure that Talona only loves you and has no hostility." The diary comforted with a casual tone.
"Stop joking! I would rather accept Isadora's twisted dependence and admiration than accept the favor of this goddess. Especially her eyes, they are so scary, as if she wants to eat me up." Zuo Si complained, holding his forehead.
But the diary responded disapprovingly: "Things are not as bad as you think. Don't forget, the goddess also has many enemies, so it is impossible for her to come to you every day. You can treat every meeting as a romantic encounter. As a famous saying goes, since you can't resist it, just enjoy it."
"Shut up!"
Zuo Si obviously didn't want to listen to the diary's continued nonsense, so he decisively issued a gag order.
moment!
The diary no longer made any sound, and the only sound in the entire sewer was the occasional squeaking sound of a rat crawling by.
Zuo Si did not stay here for long. Instead, he picked up the succubus that was lying on the ground and instantly activated the teleportation magic to return to the mage tower.
At the same time, far away in the Mage Tower of Askatra, the capital of Amn, Isadora finally cultivated the first batch of twelve copies of herself.
Thanks to the use of some advanced technology provided by Erinikas, these replicas grow much faster than ordinary clones.
The girl carefully drained the culture medium, took out the soulless and conscious bodies from the jars, cleaned them, and finally placed them side by side on the big bed in the room.
Looking at these clones that looked exactly like her, she asked the familiar floating behind her without turning her head: "Can I start separating the personality fragments in my mind and implanting them into their brains now?"
Gurgle! Little Furu spewed out a cloud of gas and showed some images to his master through the mental connection.
"I see! I understand!"
Isadora immediately realized what she should do next, and quickly closed her eyes and began to search her mind for the personality fragments that she usually used for debate.
After a while, she found the one with the strongest independent consciousness, and then used her psychic power to separate it from the spiritual world, turning it into a small ball of psychic fragments, which she carefully put into the depths of the brain of one of the clones.
After about ten seconds, the zombie, which had been breathing mechanically, suddenly began to twitch violently and had slight spasms as if it had been electrocuted.
The girl was startled by the sudden change.
Fortunately, it didn't last long, and soon the clone slowly opened its eyes and woke up.
"You are... my dominant personality?"
The replica looked down at itself, then raised its head and stared at Isadora standing in front of it, finally revealing an expression of disbelief.
Likewise, Isadora was shocked to have a copy of herself created out of thin air.
The two of them stared at each other for a full minute before they both burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! We succeeded! We succeeded!"
"Yes! It's incredible! As long as we continue to split infinitely in this way, we can create thousands of ourselves. By then, whether you devour me or I devour you, after the fusion, we will both become extremely powerful."
"This way we won't be left behind by Zuo Si and unable to help."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and come help us wake up more of ourselves."
…
Soon, two Isadoras became four, and four became eight.
In less than fifteen minutes, all the first batch of twelve mature clones were awakened.
What is even more incredible is that they seemed to have reached some kind of agreement tacitly. Unlike the clones cultivated by other wizards, they did not kill each other as soon as they woke up. Instead, they began to help each other, learn the profound magical knowledge in the library, and exercise their spiritual power.
There is no doubt that the sudden appearance of several Isadoras in the Mage Tower has undoubtedly caused the werewolves, Korgan, Rhett and others who also lived in the Mage Tower to fall into mental disorder.
At first, they thought it was just a false illusion created by magic.
But soon, twelve Isadoras appeared in the restaurant at the same time to eat, completely stunned these people.
Because magic phantoms don't need to eat...
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
Old Korgan, who knew nothing about magic, was the first to burst out with a curse.
The half-orc Rhett shook his head in bewilderment: "Don't ask me, I don't know either. But I can guarantee that the girl must have done something shocking. Wait for Zuo Si to come back and let him deal with it himself."
"Isadora used magic to copy herself! My God! She's a lunatic!"
Compared to the two warriors, Alena undoubtedly understood magic, and she could tell the difference between the replica and the original at a glance.
She simply couldn't believe that this girl who usually kept quiet and alone would do such a thing quietly.
What was even more incomprehensible to her was how the other party could make so many copies live in harmony without any life-and-death fights breaking out?
You should know that in the continent of Faerun, the only person who can do this so far is the owner of the Underworld, the mad wizard Halaster Blackrobed.
