Jace Beleren left, taking Chandra Nalaar with him.
Of course, before leaving, he also cleared the two female planeswalkers' memories of the Eye of Ugin.
Because in this guy's opinion, the fewer people know about secrets, the better.
When he gets ruthless, he will even erase his own memory, let alone other people's.
In short, the impression Zuo Si got from his first contact with Jace Beleren was that he was proud and conceited, as if he could see through people's hearts at a glance, but his emotional intelligence was frighteningly low.
If there hadn't been any divine power blocking it, Zuo Si was sure that the other party would have tried to directly read and manipulate his memory, or even erase everything that happened in the Eye of Ugin like Nissa and Chandra did.
But no matter what, with such an ally, we don't have to worry too much about the seal of the Odrazi being easily lifted for the time being.
In addition, the Dragon Scroll is currently in Zuo Si's hands, so whoever wants to open the seal must first pass him.
Obviously, Jace Beleren gave the scroll to Zuo Si not just as a thank you, but in the hope that he would take the scroll to a strange and distant world and hide it.
As for the partner card, it is an insurance policy to ensure that you can arrive at the first time when an unexpected situation occurs.
In addition, Zuo Si also obtained the coordinates of the two planes of Innistrad and Ravnica from Jace Beleren.
"Where are you going next? Return to Faerûn, or head to Innistrad to find Sorin Markov and Lithomancer Nahiri?" the journal suddenly asked.
"Of course, go to Innistrad. I don't want to face Nicol Bolas too early, so it is necessary to find him a few more opponents." Zuo Si gave the answer without even thinking.
Most importantly, as a novice planeswalker, he urgently needs to find a teacher who can give him some guidance and help.
Among the many ancient planeswalkers, Sorin Markov is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
This vampire personally trained the lithomancer Nahiri, and had extraordinary attainments in the field of creating life.
She can even separate half of her own spark power to create the Archangel Avacyn, who has the exact opposite negative energy to her own.
You should know that this is not an ordinary angel, but a Seraph servant close to Faerun. In simple terms, it is a living demigod or full god.
The people of Innistrad can even obtain some powerful magical power by shouting Avacyn's name and praying to her, thereby expelling and destroying those dark monsters, such as werewolves and vampires, and ultimately maintaining the balance of the entire world and avoiding ecological collapse caused by human extinction.
Moreover, this archangel itself is equivalent to a firewall, which can prevent the arrival of terrible creatures from the dark void such as the Eldrazi.
Although transforming energy properties is not a difficult task for a planeswalker with a spark, Zuo Si was very curious why Sorin Markov, as a vampire, did not develop in the field of blood and death magic, but chose the field of creation and life instead.
"Then what should we do with this Elf Planeswalker?"
The diary turned its attention to Nisha.
Ever since she was brainwashed and controlled, she always had a dull look in her eyes and had no reaction to anything around her.
Needless to say, this is all the aftereffects of Jace Beleren's memory cleansing.
As a novice planeswalker, Nissa's current strength is simply unable to resist the former's pervasive mental detection and control.
Not to mention a powerful mind mage like Jace Beleren, even Zuo Si, who is not very good at charm and control magic, can easily manipulate him.
"What else can I do? I'll have to take her with me to Innistrad. I don't feel comfortable leaving such a smart person on Zendikar."
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his hand and cast a high-level dispel magic on Nisha.
moment!
The elven planeswalker shuddered suddenly, and his dilated pupils began to refocus. After a few seconds, he covered his head and groaned in pain: "Ah! Damn it! My head hurts!"
"Here, drink some water, it will make you feel a little better."
Zuo Si picked up a wooden cup from the table and handed it over.
"Thanks."
Nisha quickly took it and gulped down the drink. Then she took a deep breath and asked, "What on earth happened? Why are we here? I can't seem to remember anything."
"We were attacked, and you were controlled by the enemy's mental magic, so your memory is confused." Zuo Si explained evasively.
"enemy?"
Nisha's eyes revealed confusion and doubt.
Because no matter how she searched her memory, she couldn't find even a little relevant information.
And once I touch upon the part of the past two days, my entire head feels like it is about to explode, causing indescribable pain.
Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed this and immediately stopped him, saying, "Forget it. If you can't remember it, don't think about it. Otherwise, it is very likely to cause irreversible damage to your mind. Instead of this, let's talk about what to do next."
Nesa's mind was in a complete mess at the moment. She had no ability to think at all. She could only nod subconsciously and said, "I feel so tired now. I need to have a good night's rest immediately. We can talk about anything tomorrow."
After saying that, she took off her coat and cloak, wearing only a small vest woven from vines of an unknown plant and a short skirt that just covered her thighs. She lay directly on the bed in the hotel, covered herself with a quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
As for Zuo Si, he took advantage of the time when the Elven Planeswalker was resting to open the Dragon Scroll and combined it with the knowledge he gained from the Eye of Ugin, and began to try to reverse-analyze the unique spell system of the spirit dragon Ugin.
About ten hours later, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, Nissa finally woke up from her sleep. Feeling the warmth of the sun on her skin, she spoke after a long while: "I remember now. You brought me here to find the secrets of Emeria, the goddess of the sky, Ula, the goddess of the sea, and Cosi, the goddess of change."
"Oh? You still remember this?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Judging from your reaction, I should have gotten the information I wanted, right?" Nisha smiled tentatively, pursing her lips.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, you guessed it right. But the answer may make you feel uneasy.
In fact, these three gods are all terrible dark void creatures that were sealed in Zendikar thousands of years ago.
They once devoured and destroyed countless worlds until they were sealed away by three ancient planeswalkers, whose real names should be Emrakul, Ulamog, and Kozilek.
Among them was a kor planeswalker from Zendikar who warned the leaders of various races not to try to approach the seal.
But later on, I don’t know how it got passed down and became what it is today, and even gave rise to primitive religious worship.”
Hearing that her hometown was under terrible threat, Nisha's face suddenly became serious.
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It's neither good nor bad. The good news is that the seal is temporarily secure. If there is no external damage, the Eldrazi will not awaken on a large scale for at least a few hundred years. But the bad news is that the seal is becoming loose due to long-term lack of maintenance. This is the Eldrazi larvae I found near the seal."
As he spoke, Zuo Si handed a card to the other party.
When she saw the description above, Nisha felt her scalp tingling, and a chill surged from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly asked in a trembling voice: "Is there no way to kill them?"
"Kill the Eldrazi Titan? Sorry, with all due respect, it is absolutely impossible to do so with the power we currently possess. So I plan to go to another time and space to find the ancient planeswalker who sealed the Eldrazi back then. Do you want to come with me?" Zuo Si took the initiative to invite.
"Of course! How can I be left out of this kind of thing?"
Nisha agreed without even thinking about it.
After sharing the coordinates of Innistrad's plane, the two activated the power of the Spark and left Zendikar.
He didn't know whether it was because his power was becoming stronger and stronger, or because cross-time and space transmission had become easier after leaving the universe where the continent of Faerun was located. Anyway, this time Zuo Si was not affected at all and appeared in Innistrad safely.
moment!
The ubiquitous black negative energy and various distorted forces surrounded us.
"This... this is Innistrad?"
Nissa's face showed a look of alarm.
Because in the woods not far away, you can vaguely see a few pairs of eyes flashing red light, and occasionally loud wolf howls can be heard.
"Yes! It seems that the local residents here are very enthusiastic and want to give us a grand welcome ceremony."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Zuo Si's tone.
Because these werewolves dominated by animal nature, no matter how many there are, cannot pose any threat to it.
Looking at the bloody moon above his head and the werewolves around him who were eager to try, he directly cast a group charm into the bushes where the largest number of werewolves were hidden.
The next second...
The excited wolf howls were replaced by wailing and screaming.
Needless to say, all the werewolves who were controlled by the charm had already pounced on their companions and started to attack, tearing open the opponent's chest and internal organs with their sharp teeth and claws.
After all this was done, Zuo Si pointed to the north and said, "Let's go to the town first to get some information and see what has happened in Innistrad recently."
But Nisha was obviously hesitant. She turned around and stared at the woods behind her. She asked in an uncertain tone, "Are you sure you don't want to clean up all these werewolves?"
"That's not necessary. Innistrad has plenty of werewolves and vampires. Killing them all is not an easy task. Especially vampires. They are the absolute ruling class in this world."
As Zuo Si spoke, he summoned two horses, rode on one of them, and handed the other to Nisha.
If he remembered correctly, Sorin Markov was probably in exile by his vampire family at this time, so it would not be easy to find him.
As for the reason, it was of course because Sorin created the Archangel Avacyn, which affected the interests of these vampires.
Vampires who are confined to the small dimension of Innistrad have no idea what ecological balance is, let alone that if all humans really die under their oppression, the vampires will fall into irrational madness because they cannot drink enough blood.
In the end, the whole world will collapse and be destroyed as expected.
Sorin created the archangels in order to maintain the fragile ecological balance of Innistrad and allow even the weakest humans to have the power to protect themselves.
In this way, he can explore other time and space with peace of mind without worrying about seeing a ruined hometown when he returns.
After riding their horses northward for about 40 kilometers, the two finally saw a small town surrounded by a six-meter-high wall.
On the high tower of the wall, you can vaguely see huge oil lamps and guards standing guard with weapons in hand.
Whenever they heard any sound around them, they would immediately draw their bows and shoot a rocket to confirm the situation.
Obviously, the extremely harsh living environment makes the humans here live a very stressful life every day.
Especially for werewolves who would move around hunting at night, once they sneaked into the city walls it would be an absolute disaster for a small town of this size.
Zuo Si had no intention of hiding his whereabouts. He rode his horse straight to the main gate, took off his hood, and revealed his face.
This action also made the originally nervous guard relax a little, and he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "Who are you? Why are you in our town in the middle of the night?"
"My companions and I are adventurers. We happened to get lost in the forest and had to find a place to spend the night. If you allow us to come in, we will pay you a generous reward." After saying that, Zuo Si took out a not very big gold brick from his pocket, and then cast a magic spell to send it to several guards.
moment!
The breathing of these not-so-wealthy guards became rapid, and they stared at each other, as if asking what to do.
Finally, the leading captain took a deep breath and said to his guards, "Get a rope and let me down to take a look. If the hair of these two people is not very luxuriant, then they are probably not disguised as werewolves. We can let them in."
“That makes sense!”
"That's it!"
Under the temptation of gold nuggets, the captain took a huge risk and climbed down the wall along a rope, carefully protecting his body with a shield.
When the two sides were less than three meters apart, he stopped and gave a direct order: "Take off your cloaks and coats. I want to check whether there is a lot of hair on your chest, armpits and toes. Because all werewolves will have lush hair growing in these places."
Just when the simple-minded Nisha was about to start taking off her clothes, Zuo Si immediately stopped her and cast an illusion magic without making a sound.
As a result, the captain of the guard quickly saw what he wanted to see, nodded with satisfaction, and ordered the guards behind him: "No problem, they are all normal, open the side door."
With the creaking sound of the winch turning, the small door next to the wall finally opened a gap, and the two of them entered the town safely.
