Chapter 283 Love from the Goddess (10,000 words long chapter, please subscribe)



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 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 glancing 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 axe 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 axe 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 axe 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.

要知道伊尔明斯特在四处流浪并学习魔法知识的时候,就曾经不止一次被二代魔法女神变成不同的形象,甚至还性别做了一些不可描述的事情。

玩的花样之多简直超乎想象。

而且由于他本人还是魔法女神的信徒和选民,所以女神可以随时随地进入他的精神世界,出现在他的身边索取精神和肉体上的愉欢,完全没有任何隐私可言。

试问这样的生活有几个凡人能够长期忍受?

难怪后来二代魔法女神找其他选民的时候,伊尔明斯特完全没有表现出任何争宠或是吃醋的意思,估计是巴不得有人分担自己的压力。

只要女神的面首不断增多,来找自己的频率就会自然而然的减少。

塔洛娜显然注意到了左思下意识表现出来的应激反应,微笑着迈步来到近前,伸出手捧起他的脸颊轻轻在额头上亲吻了一下,然后用近乎宠溺的语气解释道:“也不能算是诱饵。毕竟魔鬼们这一次的行为的确让我非常生气,所以给他们一个教训也是好的。

我说过,你是属于我的,任何人都别想抢走。

无论是那些窥探你灵魂的魔鬼,还是新一代魔法女神午夜和知识之神欧格玛都不例外。

不过最主要的目的还是绕开伊尔玛特。这个该死的家伙盯我盯的非常紧,如果直接降下化身的话,肯定会遭到他拦截。

现在,我们终于能面对面的谈谈了。

首先,要告诉你一个好消息。那就是在你的努力下,我的影响力已经遍布整个费伦大陆西海岸,在不久之前正式晋升中等神力。

这意味着我可以赐予你更多、更强大的选民能力。

怎么样,是不是很惊喜?”

说着,女神脸上浮现出混杂着欣慰与得意的笑容。

因为这一切全部都是左思的功劳。

尤其是大规模使用瘟疫对兽人进行种族灭绝,让饱受这些怪物困扰的北地城镇看到了另外一种可能性,一种可以用极其廉价的方式一劳永逸解决来自蛮荒世界威胁的手段。

既然剧毒与疾病女神的选民可以制造出仅针对兽人的瘟疫,那自然也应该有针对地精、半兽人、豺狼人、食人魔、巨魔等怪物的瘟疫。

不少地方突然允许塔洛娜教会公开传教并建立神殿,就是希望他们能研究出这些瘟疫,然后投放到森林那里那些怪物的群落中。

如此一来整个北地野外的安全系数必然会直线上升,不仅可以保护好民众的生命跟财产安全,同时还能降低运输成本促进贸易繁荣。

简直就是一举多得! 尤其是非邪恶阵营的新教派,会教授信徒如何分辨、提取和保存各种毒素,深受猎人和从事野外活动的冒险者们所喜爱。

毕竟毒药是一种非常有效的制敌手段,可以帮助这些人轻松战胜远比自己强大得多的野兽和怪物。

尽管包括战神坦帕斯、正义之神提尔、晨曦之主洛山达等教会大肆宣扬,毒药是卑鄙小人才会使用的东西,真正的勇士和正直的人是不会用的。

但遗憾的是,北地恶劣的生存环境让这里的居民们更加信奉实用主义,而不是那些所谓的“荣誉”跟“高尚”。

一些城镇甚至出现了专门收购原材料并加工成毒药的作坊跟店铺。

对于北地的变化,左思当然是知道的。

但他敢对天发誓,自己当初绝对没有想要帮塔洛娜扩张影响力的念头,只是想要报复兽人对自己发动的袭击,后续一切都是各种意外因素掺杂到一起所产生的结果。

不过塔洛娜显然并不这样认为,而是自顾自的说道:“随着晋升中等神力,我所拥有的两个神职剧毒与疾病潜力已经耗尽。如果想要拿到通往强大神力的钥匙,就必须获得一个更强大且具有广泛认可的新神职。而已故谋杀之神巴尔所拥有的部分死亡神职,正是我迫切渴望得到的东西。”

“剧毒、疾病和死亡,您想要打造一个从生到死的循环?”

左思敏锐捕捉到了女神的想法。

因为这并不难猜。

在没有死亡神职的情况下,不管是剧毒还是疾病,都仅仅只是为了死亡这一个最终结果而服务的前缀,拥有天生的缺陷,所以根本不可能成为强大神力中的一员。

但有了死亡神职,哪怕仅仅只是一部分,对于塔洛娜来说也是一次质的飞跃。

至少她代表了多元宇宙中普遍存在的一种规律。

而凡是拥有类似这种神职的神明,只要苦心经营成为强大神力中的一员只是时间问题。

事实上在费伦,强大神力通常而言具有两个特点。

其中之一就是其神职代表一种普遍存在的现象与规则。

比如说自然之神西凡纳斯,正义之神提尔,爱与美之神淑娜,战争之神坦帕斯等等。

至于另外一种则是神职中拥有特定种族创造者与守护神的身份。

侏儒矮人主神摩拉丁,精灵主神柯瑞隆,侏儒主神加尔·闪金等都属于这个范畴。

罗丝后来就是因为发动蛛后之战杀光了自己的子女,最终独霸黑暗精灵整个族群的信仰,所以才从中等神力晋升为强大神力。

很显然,以塔洛娜的身份想要成为某个种族的守护神显然是不现实的。

除非她从现在开始创造出一个全新的种族,然后使其在托瑞尔星球繁衍生息,等上个几千年之后该种族发展壮大。

所以获取死亡神职也就成了唯一的选择。

“真不愧是我看中的选民,你果然非常聪明,一下子就明白了我的意图。没错!我想要巴尔的死亡神职来打造一个循环。而且我知道,你对巴尔之子的事情也非常感兴趣。”

塔洛娜丝毫没有掩饰的意思,大大方方的承认下来。

左思低着头沉思了片刻,用不是很确定的语气问:“为什么让我来做这件事情?巴尔已经陨落,他空悬的王座就在那里,为何不去直接夺取呢?”

塔洛娜笑着回答道:“因为诸神之间是相互制约的。无论拥有多么强大的力量,都永远会有一个与之相对立的神。所以如果我采取行动,那么伊尔玛特、希瑞克等诸多神明都会立刻做出反应。但如果换成是你就不一样了。而且我保证,只要巴尔的死亡神职,至于他留下来的王座和神力你都可以拿走。”

“真的?”

听到女神开出的条件,左思两眼瞬间放光。

随着旅法师等级提升到LV10,他正发愁要到什么地方才能搞到如此多的法力值。

难不成真的要跑去参加血战? 但是如果能够将巴尔王座中残存的神力吸收并转化,那么提升个两级应该是没有太大的问题。

更何况拿到死亡领域进阶真死灵师是左思早就定下的计划之一。

“当然是真的,我什么时候欺骗过你?而且等我拿到死亡神职之后,会赐予你新的领域和能力。”塔洛娜毫不犹豫给出承诺。

“好!那我就加入到这场游戏中。希望那些巴尔之子不要被吓到才好。”

说着,左思缓缓抬起手时放出了一抹猩红色的神力之光,然后在空气中突然爆裂开将一只躲在阴暗角落里的老鼠撕成了碎片。

作为谋杀之神,巴尔神力最大的特点就是对于鲜血的控制,以及其无与伦比的杀戮特性。

一旦被这股神力触碰,大多数人连反应的机会都不会有,全身上下所有的血管连带心脏就会立刻爆炸。

事实上当初死亡三神从远古死神耶格手中各自拿到了一部分死亡神职。

只不过班恩获得的部分是象征毁灭的死亡,而米尔寇获得的则是死亡本身,巴尔获得的则是死亡的具象化——杀戮。

尽管巴尔在死亡三神中并不是最强大的那个,但其神力所产生的效果却是最危险的。

塔洛娜无疑感受到了那种属于巴尔的气息,用十分惊讶的语气问:“你已经能够操控这股神力了?”

“当然!只要是能量,不管是魔法能量还是神力,在我的面前都没有任何秘密可言。而且我保证,您会得到属于谋杀之神的死亡神职。另外,能麻烦您不要一见面就做出过于亲密的举动吗?这让我感到十分的困扰。”

左思不动声色的向后退了一步,避开女神想要拥抱并亲吻自己的意图。

但塔洛娜却并未因此而感到恼怒,反而露出似笑非笑的表情说道:“为什么会感到困惑?我这是在表达对你的爱呀。”

就在左思打算开口拒绝女神的时候,塔洛娜不知为何突然停止了一些动作,侧过头仿佛在倾听什么,很快脸色就勃然大变,立刻低声咒骂道:“该死!我明明都已经这么小心了,可为什么还是会被伊尔玛特察觉到?”

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 live 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.
