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, disappeared 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 smiled 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.
Not to mention being an enemy, even hearing the name would make me shiver.
But Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Gongfu is not the kind of person who would easily make enemies for himself. I think he investigated me because of Lirael. So as long as we don't do anything that is detrimental to Lirael, he will always stand aside and watch, and will not easily intervene."
"Well, I hope your judgment is correct. Here, this is the information my subordinates just found out about the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group."
Vinar pulled out a crumpled piece of worn parchment from his pocket that was still on the table.
Zuo Si quickly picked it up and glanced at it, then asked in surprise, "How many people are there in the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group in Menzoberranzan?"
Vinar answered without hesitation: "According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, there are at least 150 of them. About 60 of them are active in the open, mainly employed by the Baenre family. The remaining thieves are scattered in various corners of Menzoberranzan, just like the tavern owner you turned into an undead servant. They use various identities as a cover to secretly collect intelligence, pass on information, and make money."
"How can Jarlaxle guarantee the loyalty of these people?" Zuo Si asked in confusion.
In his opinion, the composition of the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group was too complicated, and each of them was cunning and ambitious.
No matter how strong Jarlaxle is, it would be difficult for him to manage and control so many subordinates.
"Loyalty? The Dayet Independent Mercenary Group doesn't have such a thing.
Jarlaxle is very careful in selecting and recruiting members, and will only allow those poor people who have lost everything and have nothing to join.
Since these people had nothing, the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group naturally became their only home and shelter. If they left, even surviving independently would become a problem.
However, after so many years of development, different factions of varying sizes have formed within the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group.
Jarlaxle, the nominal leader, has actually experienced more than one conspiracy, betrayal and subversion in secret.
But he seemed to be quite lucky and was able to regain leadership at the last minute every time.
It is said that when Jarlaxle was serving the Baenre family, he had very close contacts with Gromph, which needs special attention. "
Vinar quickly told all the information his men had gathered.
Since the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group has a very wide range of activities, they can be found in both the Underdark and the Landmark World. In addition, the city of Menzoberranzan was originally one of their most important strongholds, so it is easy to find out a lot of information about these guys here.
In fact, if Jarlaxle could find an effective management method, it would be entirely possible to establish a huge organization connecting the Underdark and the surface world.
But unfortunately, conspiracy and betrayal are as frequent to the dark elves as eating and drinking.
In addition, unlike the high-level priestess, he does not have the support of the spider goddess Rose behind him, so it is almost impossible for him to have 100% complete control over all his subordinates.
After realizing what the Dayet Independent Mercenary Group was, Zuo Si immediately lost interest in it. He casually ignited the collected intelligence and threw it into the brazier beside him to burn it all.
Just when Vinar wanted to say something, he suddenly found that there was one more person in the room.
To be precise, she was a beautiful dark elf girl.
She looked younger than Lirael, and also wore the noble insignia of her House of Baenre.
"How did you get in?!"
Vinar quickly drew out the dagger and dagger hanging at his waist, his eyes flashing dangerously.
But the girl was not panicked at all. Instead, she bowed gracefully to Zuo Si with a smile on her face. "It's a pleasure to meet you, the chosen one of the Goddess of Poison and Disease and the Goddess of Magic, the only mortal in the world who has achieved the same status as the gods, the honorable Lord Soth."
"You know my identity?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows and showed a surprised expression.
"Of course I know you, because the great Queen Lolth has already told me about your deeds in advance. Moreover... you also brought back Drizzt Do'Urden this time."
When mentioning the Dark Elf Ranger, the girl's eyes sparkled with undisguised admiration and love.
"Who are you? The Spider Queen's chosen one? Or a messenger she temporarily selected?" Zuo Si asked tentatively with interest.
The girl lifted her skirt, smiled, bowed, and responded: "My name is Ivone Baenre. I am now the daughter of Gromfu and the sister of Lirael. But in addition to that, I also have another identity, that is, the former matron of the Baenre family."
As these words came out of his mouth, Vinal was completely dumbfounded.
Because there are only two people who are qualified to be called the matriarch of the Baenre family, one is the current Triel Baenre, and the other is the mother of the chief wizard Gromfu, the old matriarch who ruled the city of Menzoberranzan for hundreds of years.
And this old mistress should have been killed when she led the army to attack Mithril Hall.
Otherwise, there would not have been the turmoil and chaos that later occurred in the city of Menzoberranzan.
In comparison, Zuo Si's reaction was much calmer, and he didn't even show any shock or doubt.
Because he vaguely remembered that Gongfu did have such a daughter, and when she was still a fetus, he asked the Mind Flayer to inject the old mistress's memories into her.
This was exactly what the spider goddess Rose wanted.
In other words, the girl in front of him who called herself Ivone Banrei was most likely the reincarnation of the old mistress of Banrei.
Not only did he inherit all of his memories, experiences and knowledge, he also inherited some of his priest abilities and magical talents of the same level as Gongfu.
Another typical "Sinnoh" dual cultivation.
This can be seen from the energy and aura emanating from its body.
Especially those eyes that have experienced all the vicissitudes of life, which cannot be faked at all.
After realizing this, Zuo Si suddenly had a very strange expression on his face, and he continued to ask calmly: "Did Rose send you here to tell me something?"
Ivone Baenre shook his head slightly. "No, it doesn't seem like the goddess has any direct contact with you. It's just that I want to see with my own eyes what a mortal looks like who can threaten the gods in the Pantheon and still get away with it."
"Pantheon? Threatening the gods? And getting away with it?"
Vinar turned around with his mouth open and stared at the young human to whom he had sworn allegiance, and he sat down on the ground with a plop in fear.
Although she had learned some information about Zuo Si from Trist, as well as the terrifying power wielded by this new master, she had never expected that the other party would be so cruel.
You know, the gods of Faerun are not good guys!
Not to mention those evil gods, even the gods in the neutral and good camps will do things that make mortals feel extremely terrified after being angered.
For example, during the Netheril era, there was an extremely hostile sect called the Zasman Cult, which once forged a weapon specifically for killing gods - the Zasman Dagger - through self-sacrifice.
It is said that this dagger can ignore the powerful defense and immunity brought by divine power and divinity, and directly damage the core of the incarnation of God.
So right after the sect had just created the Zasman Dagger, the ancient god of death, Jaeger, took action himself, trapped the remaining members of the sect in a large arena, and transformed them into ghouls in an extremely cruel way. He then allowed them to kill and devour each other out of hunger and fear until they all died.
In addition, the group of crazy wizards who summoned the ancient evil creature "God Slayer" and tried to use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the gods also suffered a similar fate.
From this we can see that when the gods face something that is threatening them, their first reaction is often not to compromise or negotiate, but to directly strike a devastating blow with thunder and lightning to completely eliminate the threat.
If Zuo Si threatened the gods in the Pantheon and escaped unscathed, it would mean that he possessed certain abilities that would prevent the gods from harming him in the slightest even if they joined forces, and would instead provoke even more violent revenge from them.
And this kind of revenge is something the gods are unwilling and unable to bear.
After realizing this, Vinar's eyes began to light up, and he quickly realized that he was holding onto a thick and strong thigh this time.
Of course, Ivone Banrui didn't care at all about the reaction of a "little character" like her. He just stared at Zuo Si for a long while, then smiled and said, "You are really special, more special than any mortal I have ever seen. Especially the madness hidden under calmness and rationality, and the evil fragrance emanating from the depths of your soul. Even most demons and devils would be inferior to you."
"Is this a compliment?" Zuo Si asked with a smile.
"Praise? No, no, no, I dare not, and I am not qualified to make any comments on someone like you. But I am very curious, what kind of power do you have that can make the gods afraid to act rashly?" Ivone Banrui's tone was full of strong curiosity.
"Because I can open the passage to the dark void and travel to other known planes, crystal walls, and even the universe without any hindrance in an instant. Even the gods cannot stop me."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and generously showed off his power as a planeswalker.
Because with the speech of Io, the God Above Gods, in the Pantheon, the gods already knew that he was a planeswalker, and it was no longer a secret.
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 stand 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.
