Zuo Si showed the dark elf girl the clues he had obtained through prophecy magic and asked.
Ever since the two met, this "little princess of the Baenre family" who was somewhat spoiled by her great wizard father often came here, and often stayed for a whole day, completely disregarding the strict rules of the Spider Academy.
What's even more outrageous is that the Spider Academy and the Banrui family didn't send anyone to capture him and give him a severe lesson.
You should know that Spider Academy is not just a school for training priests and priestesses, but also a place to train the future highest ruling class of this city.
All the mistresses and high-level priestesses of noble families came from here.
Generally speaking, women who are sent to the Spider Academy for study and further education need to undergo fully enclosed training for several years or even decades.
To ensure that he is completely dominated by the spider goddess Rose from body to mind, and reaches a certain level of priest profession, and then he can complete graduation through a very special ceremony.
This ceremony was to allow the most outstanding chief to receive the goddess' blessing, mate with the summoned seductress, and then give birth to a half-demon drow.
But in the face of the powerful Archmage Gromfu, even the Spider Academy could only turn a blind eye and allow Lirael to freely enter and exit this place they regarded as extremely sacred, and even frequently skip classes.
Especially the matriarch of the Baenre family, Trill, knew that Lirael's thoughts and consciousness had long been influenced by her father and had become more inclined towards arcane magic.
Therefore, there was no expectation that this dark elf girl who had just passed puberty could become a qualified priestess.
She simply used this method to announce to other noble members of the entire family that she had replaced the old mistress as the supreme controller of the Banrui family. Even the eldest son, the archmage Gongfu, had to obey the authority of the new mistress, that's all.
After all, when the old mistress was killed by Drizzt, the entire Baenre family and even the city of Menzoberranzan fell into chaos.
If some extraordinary measures are not taken, the Baenre family might completely disappear from the city of Menzoberranzan due to internal and external troubles.
This is not a joke!
But the situation at that time was really very dangerous! Although the Banrui family has fifty or sixty noble members, it is almost the largest in the entire city of Menzoberranzan.
Among them, there are 16 high-level priestesses above LV13, 47 low-level priestesses, 12 male mages, and 4 warriors...
The power of the nobles alone is enough to crush more than half of the noble families in the city.
If we take into account the more than 2,500 dark elf soldiers and countless slave cannon fodder, we can even surpass the second-ranked Barison Anggo family by an order of magnitude.
But the problem is that the internal stability of the Banrui family for a long time was achieved under the suppression of the old mistress's legendary priest level of LV25 and the unparalleled favor from the goddess.
With the death of the old mistress, the entire Banrui family instantly fell into fierce internal strife.
Many high-ranking priestesses with noble status and inheritance rights jumped out, wanting to kill the sisters ahead of them in order to become the new mistress.
Therefore, the huge power of the family is actually divided into countless small parts, and the relationship between them is still hostile.
At the same time, the Barisango family, which had always ranked behind the Banrui family, also had some small ideas at this time, wanting to incite and expand the internal struggle of the Banrui family.
As the second family in Menzoberranzan, the Barrisango family also has forty-eight noble members, more than a thousand dark elf soldiers, and the number of slave cannon fodder is comparable to that of the Baenre family.
If Madam Trill had not been able to end the internal strife with an iron fist, and the other side had taken the opportunity to attack, the Baenre family would have disappeared forever from the long river of history like those families that failed in the struggle.
But the Archmage Gongfu obviously saw this, so he took the initiative to form an alliance with the new mistress and quickly suppressed those ambitious sisters.
It can be said that the reason why the Baenre family was able to survive that violent turmoil and continue to maintain the glory of the first family in Menzoberranzan was basically due to the efforts of Matron Trill and Gromph.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the spider goddess Rose may have made some arrangements.
As for Lirael being forced to undergo training at the Spider Academy, it was probably just to correct her thoughts and values that were incompatible with the entire dark elf society.
You know, since the appearance of the outlier Drizzt, all the noble families in Menzoberranzan have strengthened the education of their children, especially the hatred towards the surface world and various races.
They don't want the tragedy of the demise of the Do'Urden family to happen to them again.
"Huh? I seem to have seen this symbol somewhere before..." Lirael took the parchment, frowned and fell into deep thought.
After about two or three minutes, she slapped her thigh hard, jumped up and exclaimed, "Ah! I remember! I saw this symbol in a book in the Spider Academy."
"Oh? What is the content of this book?" Zuo Si asked hurriedly.
Lirael stroked her chin and recalled for a few seconds. Soon, she said in an uncertain tone, "I remember it seemed to be related to religion and demons, but I don't remember the details. By the way, why are you so interested in the fungus forest? Is there something interesting hidden in it?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied, "Whether there is anything interesting or fun, I don't know yet, but there must be some unknown secrets hidden deep in this fungus forest. Can you do me a favor?"
"No problem! I'll go to Spider Academy and find the book for you."
Without saying a word, Lirael stood up and was about to walk out.
In her opinion, Zuo Si had taught her so many interesting spells and combat experiences, and as a friend it was only natural for her to help out a little.
After watching this girl, who was completely different from most dark elves, disappear into the street, Venar suddenly emerged from the darkness and teased in a slightly playful tone: "You are really good at what you do. You managed to deal with this little princess of the Baenre family in such a short time. With her help, I think gathering intelligence will be much easier."
"Don't have too high expectations. The reason why Lirael can still collect some information now is with the tacit consent of the Banrui family and the archmage. If I'm not mistaken, Gongfu should have already set his sights on us." Zuo Si said meaningfully.
"Targeting us? You mean..." Vina suddenly showed a nervous expression.
Zuo Si nodded slightly. "Yes! I think the other party should have exposed the lies I made up and is trying to figure out my true identity. Compared with those mistresses who are immersed in power and conspiracy struggles all day long, Archmage Gongfu is the person who really needs more attention. By the way, those invisible magic eyes around this building should be set up by him."
Upon hearing this, Vinar's face changed drastically. He immediately hid in the shadow next to him, and cautiously looked out through the curtains.
She simply couldn't believe that there was someone in this world who could quietly set up one magic eye after another for surveillance under her high-intensity vigilance.
Seeing the dark elf assassin's overreaction, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and waved his hand: "Okay, there's no need to be so nervous. Those magic eyes are located far away and can't observe the situation in the room. Otherwise, I would have removed them all at the first opportunity."
"Do you know where they are?" Vinar widened his eyes in disbelief.
"I not only know the location, but also know who placed these magic eyes around them. There is no one else in the city of Menzoberranzan who can do this except the chief wizard Gongfu. But I am very curious about what his attitude towards us is now." Zuo Si touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.
Because as far as he knew, Gromph Baenre was a very special person and also a typical neutral evil camp. The reason why he helped Madam Trill to stabilize the Baenre family was just to ensure that his status and power would not be affected.
This means that the great wizard is not completely loyal to the Baenre family, and is also very perfunctory about his belief in the spider goddess Rose. Even if he knows a secret, he will not easily reveal it to others.
"Damn it! This is a big problem! Gromph is the most dangerous man in the entire city of Menzoberranzan. It is said that the magical power he possesses is enough to easily destroy a city."
Vinal was visibly frightened.
Because to her, a legendary wizard like Gongfu was far beyond the limits of her imagination.
别说是与之为敌了，就连听到名字都会感觉浑身发冷。
可左思却不以为意的耸了耸肩膀：“别担心，贡夫并不是那种会随便给自己树敌的人。我想他调查我，应该是因为丽芮尔的关系。所以只要我们没有做任何对丽芮尔不利的事情，他就会始终站在一旁看着，而不会轻易插手。”
“好吧，希望伱的判断是对的。给，这是手下人刚刚打探到关于达耶特独立佣兵团的情报。”
维娜尔从口袋里掏出一张被揉搓到皱皱巴巴的破旧皮纸仍在桌子上。
左思迅速拿起来大概扫了两眼，然后一脸惊讶的问：“达耶特独立佣兵团在魔索布莱城有多少人？”
维娜尔不加思索的回答道：“按照目前得到的情报推测，至少有一百五十人。其中六十人左右活动在明面上，主要接受班瑞家族的雇佣。剩下那些贼分散在魔索布莱城的各个角落，就如同那个被你变成不死仆从的酒馆老板一样，以各种各样的身份作为掩饰，暗地里从事情报搜集、传递消息、敛财等工作。”
“贾拉索如何保证这些人的忠诚？”左思十分不解的问。
在他看来，达耶特独立佣兵团的成分太复杂了，而且一个个都是心思狡诈且野心勃勃之辈。
就算贾拉索个人实力再怎么强悍，恐怕也很难管理和控制这么多手下。
“忠诚？达耶特独立佣兵团根本就没有这种东西。
贾拉索在挑选和吸纳成员的时候非常谨慎，只会让那些失去了一切并且一无所有的可怜虫加入。
因为这些人一无所有，所以达耶特独立佣兵团自然而然就成了他们唯一的家和庇护所，一旦离开连连独立生存都成问题。
不过经过这么多年的发展，在达耶特独立佣兵团内部已经形成了大大小小不同的派系。
贾拉索这个名义上的首领，其实暗地里已经经历了不止一次的阴谋、背叛与架空。
但他似乎相当走运，每一次都能在最后关头将领导权夺回来。
据说贾拉索在为班瑞家族效力的时候，曾经跟贡夫有过十分密切的往来，这一点需要格外注意。”
维娜尔迅速将手下收集到的情报一股脑说了出来。
由于达耶特独立佣兵团的活动范围非常广，无论是在幽暗地域还是地标世界都有他们的身影，再加上魔索布莱城原本就是其最重要的据点之一，所以在这里很容易就能打听到很多关于这些家伙的信息。
事实上，如果贾拉索能够找到一种行之有效的管理方式，完全有可能建立起一个连接幽暗地域和地表世界的庞大组织。
但遗憾的是，阴谋跟背叛对于黑暗精灵来说简直就跟吃饭喝水一样频繁。
再加上他又不像高阶女祭司一样身后有蜘蛛女神罗丝的站台，想要百分之百完全控制所有手下几乎是不可能的事情。
意识到达耶特独立佣兵团是个什么货色之后，左思立马失去了兴趣，随手将那份搜集汇总的情报点燃，扔进一旁的火盆焚烧殆尽。
就在维娜尔还想要说点什么的时候，突然发现房间内不知何时，居然多出了一个人。
确切地说，是一名长相貌美的黑暗精灵少女。
她看起来比丽芮尔的年龄还要小一些，并且身上也佩戴者象征其班瑞家族身份的贵族徽章。
“你是怎么进来的！”
维娜尔迅速拔出了挂在腰间的短剑跟匕首，两只眼睛闪烁着危险的光芒。
可这名少女却丝毫没有半点慌张，反而面带微笑冲左思优雅的鞠了一躬：“很高兴见到您，剧毒与疾病女神和魔法女神的双选民，这个世界上唯一获得与诸神同等地位的凡人，尊贵的索斯阁下。”
“你知道我的身份？”左思挑起眉毛露出了惊讶的表情。
“我当然知道您，因为伟大的罗丝神后已经提前告诉了我关于您的事迹。更何况……您这次还带回了崔斯特·杜垩登。”
在提到黑暗精灵游侠的时候，这位少女眼睛里居然闪烁着毫不掩饰的崇拜跟爱慕。
“你究竟是谁？蛛后的选民？还是她临时挑选的使者？”左思饶有兴致的试探道。
少女提起裙子微笑着行了一礼回应道：“我的名字叫做伊沃奈·班瑞，现在的身份是贡夫的女儿，丽芮尔的妹妹。不过除此之外，我还有一个身份，就是班瑞家族曾经的主母。”
伴随着这句话脱口而出，维娜尔整个人都傻了。
因为有资格被称之为班瑞家族主母的只有两个人，一个是现任的崔尔·班瑞，另外一个就是首席大法师贡夫的母亲，那个统治了魔索布莱城数百年的老主母。
而这位老主母，早就应该在率领大军进攻秘银厅的时候被杀死了才对。
否则也不会出现魔索布莱城后来的动荡跟混乱。
相比之下，左思的反应就要淡定得多，甚至没有表现出任何震惊跟怀疑。
因为他依稀记得，贡夫的确有这样一个女儿，在还是胎儿的时候就请夺心魔为其注入了老主母的记忆。
这也刚好正中蜘蛛女神罗丝的下怀。
也就是说，眼前这个自称伊沃奈·班瑞的少女，极有可能就是班瑞老主母的转生体。
不仅继承了其所有的记忆、经验跟见识，甚至还继承了部分牧师能力和与贡夫同一等级的魔法天赋。
又一个典型的“神奥”双修。
这一点从其身体里所散发出来的能量跟气场就能略窥一二。
尤其是那双饱经世间沧桑的眼睛，根本不是想伪装就能伪装出来的。
意识到这一点之后，左思脸上顿时浮现出十分古怪的表情，不动声色的继续问道：“罗丝派你来是想要对我说些什么吗？”
伊沃奈·班瑞轻轻摇了摇头：“不，女神并不像与您有任何直接的接触。只是我自己想要来亲眼看看，能够在万神殿向诸神发出威胁，并且还能全身而退的凡人长什么样子。”
“万神殿？向诸神发出威胁？而且还全身而退？”
维娜尔张大嘴巴转过身盯着这个自己宣誓效忠的年轻人类，整个人被吓得扑通一声坐在了地上。
虽然她已经从崔斯特那里知道了一些关于左思的信息，以及这位新主人所掌握的恐怖力量，但却万万没料到对方居然如此丧心病狂。
要知道费伦的诸神可不是什么烂好人！
那些邪神暂且不说，就是中立和善良阵营的神，在被激怒之后也会做出一些令凡人感到无比恐惧的事情。
比如说在耐瑟瑞尔时代活跃的一个极度仇视神明的教派——札斯曼教派，就曾经通过自我献祭的方式打造了一柄专门弑杀神明的武器——札斯曼匕首。
据说这柄匕首可以无视神力和神性带来的强大防御跟免疫能力，直接伤害到神明化身的核心。
所以该教派在刚刚制作出札斯曼匕首后，远古的死亡之神耶格便亲自出手，将教派的其余成员全部困在一个大竞技场内，并将其以极度残忍的方式转化成食尸鬼，然后任由其在饥饿、恐惧的支配下互相残杀、吞噬，直至全部死亡。
除此之外，那群召唤出上古邪物“弑神者”，试图以此作为筹码来跟诸神谈判的疯狂法师们，也遭到了差不多同样的命运。
由此可见，诸神在面对足以威胁到自己的东西时，往往第一反应不是妥协或者谈判，而是直接以雷霆万钧之势予以毁灭性打击，将该威胁彻底的抹除掉。
假如左思在万神殿内威胁诸神并且全身而退，那就意味着他拥有某些能力，让即便是诸神联手也无法伤到其分毫，反而会引发其更加猛烈的报复。
而这种报复，是诸神不愿意也无法承受的。
想明白这一点之后，维娜尔的眼睛开始放光，迅速意识到自己这一次抱上一条又粗又壮的大腿。
当然，对于她这种“小角色”的反应，伊沃奈·班瑞压根一点都不在意，只是直勾勾盯着左思半晌，然后才笑着说道：“你果然很特别，比我见过的任何一个凡人都特别。尤其是那种隐藏在冷静、理智之下的疯狂，以及从灵魂深处散发出来的邪恶芬芳，就连大部分的恶魔与魔鬼都要甘拜下风。”
“这算是夸奖吗？”左思似笑非笑的问道。
“夸奖？不，不，不，我可不敢，也没有资格对您这样的人做出任何评价。不过我很好奇，您究竟掌握了怎样的力量，居然能让诸神投鼠忌器？”伊沃奈·班瑞语气中带着强烈的好奇。
“因为我可以打开黑暗虚空的通道，在一瞬间不受任何阻碍穿梭到其他已知的位面、晶壁、乃至宇宙，就连诸神也无法阻止。”
左思没有隐瞒什么，大大方方给出了自己身为旅法师的力量。
因为随着神上之神艾欧在万神殿的发言，众神已经知道了他是一名旅法师，这已经不是什么秘密了。
Ivone Banrui instantly realized how terrifying this ability was.
It can even be said that as long as you are a little careful, you can always be invincible.
After all, if you can't win, can't you just run away?
As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood.
What's more, Zuo Si is not just a man who can run away, he also has the ability to summon the Eldrazi Titan that is powerful enough to destroy the world.
moment!
Ivone Baenre understood why the Spider Queen was so afraid of the mortal in front of her, and even repeatedly warned herself not to provoke her in any way or take any hostile actions.
Similarly, Zuo Si also took the opportunity to look at the old mistress of Banrui who had just completed her reincarnation not long ago.
I have to say that the Banrui family does have good genes.
And Gromph must have been a handsome dark elf when he was young.
In addition, most of his mistresses were beautiful women, so both Ivone and Lirael were very beautiful.
Especially Ivona, who is only in his teens compared to humans, but with the mature temperament and strong aura accumulated from living for centuries, he is full of an amazing charm that cannot be described in words.
If Zuo Si remembered correctly, Ivone Baenre should have a crazy obsession with Drizzt.
Later, he learned that Trist had found true love. Although he sent his blessings with tears, he still wanted to secretly climb into his bed and have an intimate relationship with him.
You must know that it was Drizzt and his dwarf friend Bruno who killed the old matron of the Baenre family.
But after reincarnation, Ivona not only did not hate the other party, but became his fanatical fan.
All I can say is that the values and way of thinking of the dark elves have nothing to do with the word "normal", and they are completely lacking in rationality and logic.
After several minutes, Zuo Si finally broke the silence and asked, "You came here today, isn't it just to see me?"
Ivone shook his head slightly. "No, of course not. I want to tell you that Jarlaxle has returned to Menzoberranzan not long ago and is currently hiding in the city, plotting to deal with you."
"Jaraso is in the city, and is preparing to attack me?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
"It's surprising, isn't it? In fact, ever since Jarlaxle led some mercenaries to venture to the surface, the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group has been in a semi-out-of-control state. He targeted you this time, probably because he wanted to use you to clean up some of the guys who were out of control or disobeyed orders." Ivone Baenre solved the mystery directly.
Hearing this, Zuo Si couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! Interesting. Jarlaxle is really as bold as the rumors say. But I don't understand why you are telling me this?"
"Because I don't want to see the entire city of Menzoberranzan flooded with blood, or even reduced to ruins. From today on, I will provide you with all the intelligence and actions of the various forces in Menzoberranzan. In return, I hope you can be more restrained, at least don't spread the magic plague in this city."
After going around in circles for a long time, Ivone Banrui finally spoke out his true thoughts.
Yes!
She was afraid that Zuo Si would go on a killing spree in Menzoberranzan and directly release a terrible plague.
You should know that although the proportion of priests among dark elves is very high, they can even use divine magic to cure all diseases, which is impossible in the surface world.
But the question is, what if we kill a large number of high-level priestesses first? Maybe others can't do it easily, but Ivone Baenre believes that Zuo Si, the chosen one of the goddess of poison and disease Talona, can definitely do it.
"make a deal!"
Zuo Si agreed without even thinking about it.
Because he knew that the attitude of the old matron of the Banrui family who had completed her reincarnation was actually equivalent to the attitude of the spider goddess Rose.
Especially the extremely obvious divine grace on the other party, it is even possible that he is Rose's chosen one.
"Thank you very much. First of all, as a token of my sincerity, I will tell you where Jarlaxle is currently staying."
As he spoke, Ivone Baenre picked up the pen and paper on the table and quickly wrote down an address in the dark elf language.
After doing all this, she bowed gracefully, cast a teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.
After half a minute, Vinar suddenly regained consciousness and quickly got up from the ground. He asked in a awed tone: "Master... Master, are those conversations just now true? Is this girl from the Baenre family really the old grandmother of Baenre who once ruled Menzoberranzan for centuries? Did you really threaten the gods in the Pantheon and get away with it?"
"Ah! It's all true. But I suggest you not to reveal it to anyone, including your men. Otherwise, I can't guarantee your safety." Zuo Si issued a half-truthful warning.
"I understand! I swear to keep it a secret." Vinar promised solemnly.
She was no fool and understood what this explosive news meant.
Just when the atmosphere in the house was becoming a little depressing, the dark elf ranger who was out on reconnaissance finally came back.
Before he took off his cloak and took a breath, Zuo Si invited him with a smile: "Dear Drizzt, are you interested in going with me to visit an old friend?"
"Old friend? I don't remember having any friends in Menzoberranzan." Drizzt rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Not to mention friends, it is estimated that more than 90% of the people in this dark elf city want to capture him alive and send him to the temple to sacrifice to Queen Rose.
"Then do you still remember Jarlaxle?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully.
Hearing this familiar name, Drizzt's originally nonchalant expression finally changed, becoming serious and alert: "You mean... Jarlaxle is in Menzoberranzan right now?"
"That's right! I just happened to get the address of his hiding place. Come on, let's go meet this mercenary leader and ask him how he plans to deal with me."
After saying that, Zuo Si slowly stood up from his chair, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
After all, as one of the legendary figures of Menzoberranzan, Jarlaxle once had the glorious record of suppressing Drizzt and defeating Zaknafein, the former first warrior of Menzoberranzan.
If it were a fair one-on-one duel, Drizzt and Entreri, two evenly matched opponents, would probably find it difficult to gain any advantage over Jarlaxle.
Since they were going to attack someone at their doorstep, Vinar quickly summoned all his men back.
Not long after, Zuo Si brought all his men to a nondescript building.
Without any hesitation!
He directly made an attacking gesture to his dark elf warriors and assassins.
In the blink of an eye!
Those members of the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group who were lying in ambush nearby were eliminated one by one.
Because they were prepared to fight the unprepared, the speed was unbelievable.
In just a few minutes, more than a dozen bloody corpses were dragged out silently.
Judging from the wounds, they were obviously killed in one blow.
The sharp daggers and daggers pierced into vital parts such as the jaw, back and neck from behind.
After removing these spies, Vinar immediately signaled his men to surround the entire building, ensuring that no matter where the people inside ran out from, they would be shot by at least three powerful crossbows in the first place.
Everything was ready, and Zuo Si immediately smiled and said to the ranger beside him: "Let's go in and say hello."
"You mean... knock on the door?" Drizzt asked in an uncertain tone.
"No! No! No! Knocking is not my style. I prefer to bang on the door."
Before he finished speaking!
Zuo Si raised his hands and began to chant an awkward spell.
Then Trist saw a huge, scalding fireball flying out and hitting the door that had several magic traps placed on it.
The next second...
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With a violent explosion, noise and vibration, the entire door and its frame flew directly into the house.
A dark elf warrior guarding the door had no time to dodge and could only watch as the steel door and the scorching heat waves swallowed him up.
The intense burning sensation and pain made him scream like a pig being slaughtered.
“Aa ...
"Damn it! It's an attack! We're under attack!"
Another dark elf hiding a little further inside immediately shouted a warning.
Bang! Crash! Several windows used for ventilation were broken on the spot, and about six or seven people jumped out of the house.
Just as they landed and had not yet stood firm, the crossbowman hiding in the dark immediately pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Those with high agility attributes immediately began to roll on the ground to avoid the poisonous arrows that glowed with cold light.
But those guys whose agility attributes were not high enough were unlucky. Two of them were pierced through the eye sockets and died instantly.
Three others were shot in the abdomen by poisoned arrows. After a while, half of their bodies became numb, and their faces became extremely ugly. Finally, they fell to the ground with unwillingness.
Kill! Simple and quick killing! From the very beginning, Vinar and her men had no intention of leaving anyone alive.
After the last guy who tried to resist was hacked to pieces under the siege, Zuo Si walked into the house calmly, stepping on several charred bodies. With a smile on his face, he said to the man with the most gorgeous clothes: "You must be Jarlaxle, the leader of the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group, right?"
"Are you Soth?"
Jarlaxle subconsciously dived into the weapon in his hand, his eyes full of fear.
He simply couldn't believe that his safe house in Menzoberranzan was discovered and surrounded so easily.
"Yes, it's me. And I brought an old friend with me for you."
As he spoke, Zuo Si made a gesture of invitation to the dark elf ranger beside him.
Drizzt slowly took off his hood, revealing his handsome face, and greeted him in a slightly complicated tone: "Long time no see, Jarlaxle. This time you have provoked an enemy that should not be provoked."
"Drizzt Do'Urden?"
The moment he saw the ranger, Jarlaxle's pupils immediately dilated several times, revealing the unrest in his heart.
"Well, is it a surprise? If Entreri were here, the three of you could get together and reminisce about the past."
As Zuo Si spoke, he began to look at the few guys who followed Jarlaxle and did not rush out.
Among them, the woman who was a half-dark elf and half-ogre caught his attention as expected.
After all, it is hard not to attract attention when a woman's muscles are developed to a level that would make even orc warriors feel ashamed.
What's more, the woman didn't have any weapons in her hands, she just clenched her fists.
In addition, there is also a dark elf man wearing a robe and holding a staff who is also worthy of attention.
After all, spellcasters are always more dangerous than warriors. This is the consensus of the entire continent of Faerun.
"Jaraxle! What should we do now?" The woman with exaggerated muscles asked first.
Jarlaxle spread his hands helplessly: "What else can we do? Of course we have to fight. Don't you realize that our house has been surrounded? Unless we can fight our way out, we will all die here today, including me."
"Humph! In that case, what are you waiting for?"
As the last word came out of her mouth, the female half-blood ogre took the first step and rushed out at lightning speed.
When Vinal saw this, he immediately signaled his men to shoot.
In an instant, seven or eight arrows were shot out from different angles.
Just when she was filled with joy and wanted to see this "big fool" fall in a pool of blood, the half-blood ogre suddenly swung his arms and shot out all the arrows with such precision at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye. Not even a single arrow could penetrate its airtight defense.
"This...how is this possible!" Vinar was stunned for a moment.
But the half-blood ogre obviously would not miss this opportunity. He rushed to Zuo Si and instantly covered his arm with a layer of magical energy visible to the naked eye.
There is no doubt that whether it was the deflection of the arrow just now or the attack she was about to launch, it proved that she was a very high-level monk.
Just when the half-blood ogre monk thought he could smash Zuo Si's heart with one blow, he suddenly saw a chilling smile on the other's face.
As a result, just as my fist was about to be thrown out, I felt my body suddenly swell up like a balloon, and my feet were floating off the ground towards the ceiling above my head.
"What...what's going on? What...what did you do to me?" the half-blood ogre shouted in panic.
At this moment, let alone delivering a fatal blow, he couldn't even control the direction of his body floating upwards.
You have to know that after the monk gave up all armor and protection, what he gained in return was extremely powerful magic resistance and immunity.
With her monk level, she should be able to withstand most spells.
"Nothing much, just a swelling spell. Don't worry, this spell won't kill you, at least not until I change my mind."
Zuo Si casually pushed the inflated woman aside, stared at Jarlaxle's slightly flustered face, and asked with interest: "Are you sure you want to continue to make a final desperate struggle? You must know that my patience is limited! If you and your people show even the slightest hostile behavior again, the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group will completely become history."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Jarlaxle asked cautiously.
"You should ask yourself this question. After all, you were the first to attack, and I was simply forced to fight back."
Zuo Si walked straight to the chair and sat down in a very relaxed and comfortable posture like the owner, as if he did not take the enemy who was so close to him seriously at all.
