Since they already knew that Grazzt had planted a spy in the team, the members of the rescue team simply let go completely. Without any disguise at all, they wandered around Zerata, the capital of the triple realm, and used the activity funds given by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth to buy whatever they liked.
The Holy Knight Ilsa even spent tens of thousands of gold coins to buy an expensive Subaerotian slave.
This female warrior with red hair, golden wings, and wearing a glittering armor, was obviously accidentally captured by an evil plane merchant or demon, and was sold into the abyss.
After all, it is well known that Graz'zt has a wide range of "sexual interests".
He also has a strong collecting habit.
Creatures of the good camp that are opposed to evil, such as the Atlas (chaotic), the Yaku (lawful), and the Gadin (neutral), are even more loved by Lord Wu An.
But unfortunately, these celestial creatures were too fragile when facing the Dark Lord, one of the three giants of the abyss, and were simply unable to withstand Graz'zt's twisted and perverted desires and gameplay.
It often doesn't take long before they are beaten to death, or they can't stand the humiliation and choose to commit suicide.
Therefore, no matter who it is, as long as they can bring beautiful celestial creatures that satisfy Lord Wu'an, they will immediately receive high rewards, or even privileges in the business field.
Needless to say, the Yugoloth merchant who sold the Askyr slaves wanted to use these slaves to please Graz'zt and gain extra benefits.
Unfortunately, ever since he successfully imprisoned the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, he has become far less interested in invading and distorting the creatures of the celestial realm.
After all, no matter how beautiful and powerful a celestial creature is, it can never compare to a genuine goddess.
However, other demons do not have the ability to control and enslave a powerful "God of Justice" from the Subaerospace Clan for a long time, and they may be killed if they are not careful.
Therefore, the Yugoloth merchants could only sell them at a "low price" with tears in their eyes.
"Thank you for helping me escape the misery of slavery, paladin. In return, I will join your righteous cause."
After learning about the team's mission, the female Subaeronauts immediately chose to provide all the help they could without hesitation.
On the one hand, it is out of gratitude, and on the other hand, it is out of the lofty pursuit of justice in one's heart.
You should know that as creatures of the lawful good camp, the angels of the Archaic race will never lie, cheat or steal. They will do their best to help everyone in need, even if the price is their own death and destruction. Their noble morality is enough to make many mortal paladins feel ashamed.
Of course, they are not without their shortcomings.
The biggest flaw is that his thoughts and actions are extremely rigid, and he has a serious lack of sense of humor.
Especially those Sub-Sky people who were born not long ago, they often act like artificial intelligence with set programs, rather than living beings with souls and desires, showing joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.
"No, messenger, we don't need your help. Go home. What happens next is not something you can participate in." Ilsa refused solemnly.
Just when the female Subaerotian wanted to say something, the petite Xinbu came out of another store with a bunch of things in her arms, and shouted with excitement on her face, "Look! There are bundles of ironwood and blackwood for sale here!
The price of cold iron is only one-fourth of that in the material plane!
In addition, there are a large number of high-quality materials such as eyeballs, hearts, palms, bones, etc. from demons and devils!
I even bought a six-armed snake demon embryo that was taken out as soon as it was formed.
If used to make magic items, this thing will definitely greatly enhance the effects of necromancy spells."
“I also bought three Ioun stones.
One of them can absorb spell damage up to level eight, and the other two are good things that can increase the casting level by 1.
In addition, I also bought an interesting alchemical artifact - a large folding fortress.
This thing can instantly transform into a steel fortress with a side length of 100 meters and a total of four floors and 35 meters high.
It not only has arrow towers, battlements and walls as high as ten meters, but is also equipped with a large number of city defense equipment including bows and crossbows, traps, etc.
There are also rooms for resting and dining inside, as well as a pipe leading to the elemental plane of water.
And if it is damaged, it can be restored to its original state by simply casting a wish or a miracle.
I have to say, the person who invented this thing is an absolute genius.
He took the [Magic Duncan Mansion Technique] to a new level.
Although the price is a bit high, I think it is definitely worth it.”
Zuo Si also happened to walk out of a magic item store not far away, introducing the small cube with a shiny metallic luster in his hand.
It was not difficult to tell from his slightly excited tone that he was quite satisfied with the ideas and technologies provided by the Folding Fortress.
The most important thing is that the 400,000 gold coins and 40 soul prisms used to buy this thing were all provided by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth, which is simply called "freeloading".
As we all know, "freeloading" brings extra happiness.
Although Zuo Si already possessed wealth and resources that were unimaginable in any country on the entire continent of Faerun, he still felt pleasure from "getting something for free".
The succubus loli Atona followed closely behind, with each of the two small horns on her forehead wearing a ring inlaid with gems and engraved with magic runes.
This thing is a special magic item often used by demons and devils in the lower plane.
It is somewhat similar to a ring, but is worn specifically on the horns.
The two on Atona's head can provide +4 force field deflection protection, and the other one can increase magic resistance.
At the end of her tail, there is a triangular metal hook, which is the exclusive equipment of the succubus.
When fighting, it would suddenly swing its tail and whip the opponent, and the vicious barbs would immediately tear a horrible cut, and the curse would make the wound difficult to heal and cause bleeding.
With these three new pieces of equipment, the Succubus Loli can be said to be truly armed to the teeth, with no space on her body left to equip magical items.
However, she was a little confused and flattered by her master's generous behavior of spending money on her.
Because Atona knew the value of these magical equipment and items, she couldn't afford any of them even if she sold herself.
Moreover, she could hardly help during the battle, the only thing she could do was to do some chores.
The little guy didn't understand at all that Zuo Si was actually playing an alternative development game.
This mentality is like that of many male gamers who play female characters. They call the character they create and control "daughter", then buy a lot of top-level equipment for her, dress her up beautifully, and enjoy the satisfaction brought by the cultivation.
"You bought an oversized folding fortress?!"
Xinbu was stunned for a moment, and hurried over to check out this alchemical item that looked like a metal cube. He was soon impressed by its unique craftsmanship and enchanting skills, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It turns out that [Magic Mansion] can be used in this way. Its creator is simply a genius."
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. That's why I am willing to spend money to buy it. Oh, by the way, the operating funds given to us by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth are almost used up."
"What? Spent it all! Are you kidding me?"
Pastor Bert opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.
He remembered that before setting off, Saranda Oulian gave him nearly two million gold coins and more than three hundred soul prisms.
"Of course I'm not kidding. Don't forget, anything related to the word magic is usually more expensive. What's more, we buy the best ones." Zuo Si explained disapprovingly.
Indeed, two million gold coins is definitely a huge sum of money in the material world, and more than three hundred prisms filled with souls are enough to make many secondary demon lords excited.
But if placed in the field of magic, at best it is just the cost of researching a few legendary magics.
Among them, top legendary magic such as [Annihilation Singularity], [Crazy Bonfire] and [Scorching Waterfall], which are incredibly powerful and extremely difficult to cast, require more than one million or even close to two million in research funds each.
So when it comes to spending money lavishly, no one can compare to the legendary wizard.
Storm Queen Xinbu also echoed, "That's right. We are definitely making a fortune by being able to buy so many magic items and rare and precious materials with such a small amount of money. Here, this is the [Prayer Candle] I bought for you. Don't be stingy when the fight starts. Use it when you find a chance. Anyway, the Church of the Goddess of Wealth will pay for it."
"Oh my God! You... You are simply..."
Pastor Bert had no idea how to describe the two extravagant voters of the Magic Goddess in front of him. He could only take the expensive consumables, the [Prayer Candle], with trembling hands and tears, which cost nearly nine thousand gold coins each.
As for the market price, he didn't even dare to think about it.
Because in Faerun, a [prayer candle] might trigger a small-scale war.
When this candle burns, it will produce a ball of spiritual light, greatly increasing the morale of the surrounding creatures of the corresponding camp. It can also temporarily increase the priest's professional level by LV2, and increase the total amount of divine spells that can be cast per day.
Normally, a [prayer candle] can burn for a full four hours. When it is not needed, you can just blow it out. It can be used repeatedly.
In addition, the user can also cast the Nine-Ring [Gate to Another World] by directly consuming a [Prayer Candle].
If you are confident in your luck, you can even summon the Fire Giant through the [Gate to Another World] and get three wishes at once.
Precisely because the power of this top-level magic consumable is so powerful, it has always been the treasure that all priests dream of, and it is difficult to buy it in the material plane even if you have money.
But now, Xinbu directly used the funds provided by the Church of the Goddess of Wealth to buy ten in one go.
Based on the principle of "sharing the spoils" to let everyone have a share, in the next few minutes, the warrior Quill obtained the [Giant Strength Belt] with a strength attribute of +6, and the paladin Ilsa obtained a large number of high-level divine scrolls and a healing magic wand.
Finally, at Zuo Si's suggestion, the entire team used their last bit of money to find a luxurious hotel and enjoy a sumptuous and delicious meal.
The Subaero female who had just regained her freedom was completely stunned by the series of puzzling actions before her.
She couldn't believe that a group of gods' chosen people and messengers with an important mission did not choose to hide and act low-key. Instead, they acted like they were on a sightseeing tour, squandering their wealth unscrupulously, as if they were afraid that others would not know they were coming.
Driven by her inner sense of justice and mission, she finally couldn't help but find Ilsa in private and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with these people? Don't they worry about their whereabouts being exposed or the mission failing?"
The paladin smiled and responded, “You don’t have to worry about us, and you don’t have to get involved in this dangerous mission.
Although they look very relaxed, the string of vigilance in their minds has already been stretched tight.
Especially Soth, who holds power that even the gods fear.
So listen to me, fill your stomach and go home quickly, it's going to get very dangerous here soon."
"Well, I can only wish you all the best."
The Subaero female sighed helplessly, and quickly used her spell-like ability to leave the triple realm.
Less than half a minute after she left, a succubus dressed in seductive and sexy clothes came in with a large plate of delicious grilled octopus.
It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the succubus suddenly slipped and fell into Zuo Si's arms the moment she put the plate on the table, having close and intimate contact with him.
Using the wings spread out when falling to protect him, the former took the opportunity to whisper in the latter's ear: "This is the important information entrusted to us by the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, to bring you."
After saying that, the succubus stuffed something like a coin into Zuo Si's pocket with a very obscure movement. At the same time, when she got up, she did not forget to leave a lip print on his face, deliberately creating an ambiguous atmosphere.
This action immediately caused envious expressions from other guests who were dining in the hotel lobby.
Others blew whistles and joined in the fun, and even asked for some 18+ action scenes to liven up the atmosphere.
The succubus was clearly very familiar with this situation, and she immediately jumped onto a table, twisting her body and performing a passionate dance full of temptation and suggestion, attracting all eyes.
While she was covering, Zuo Si took out the coins from his pocket and activated the contents stored inside.
moment!
A piece of information flooded into his brain.
The content is also quite simple, it is about the internal structure of the Silver Palace, the rules of changes in passages and portals, as well as some little secrets about Grazzt.
At the end there was a list of about a dozen names and their addresses.
Needless to say, these people are the half-demon offspring that the goddess of wealth, Woking, was forced to give birth to during her imprisonment.
"Is that succubus here to pass on information to you?" Xinbu leaned over and asked in a low voice.
She obviously noticed the hidden little movements just now, and also noticed the arcane aura emitted by the coin with the magical vision given to the chosen by the silver fire.
Zuo Si nodded calmly: "Well, you guessed right. But the goddess of wealth really gave me a big problem."
"A message from the goddess of wealth, Waukeen? You actually managed to get in touch with the inside of the Silver Palace!"
There was a flash of shock and disbelief in Xinbu's eyes.
"No, it wasn't me who got through. It was the spies that the succubus queen Mecanthus had planted in the triple realm that started to take action. You don't think that this red mark on my ear is just a souvenir of a passionate moment, do you?"
After saying that, Zuo Si casually performed a zero-ring trick and wiped off the lip marks left by the succubus on his cheek.
"Is that the Queen's Kiss?"
Apparently, Xinbu had a good knowledge of demonology, and he finally recognized what the red lip marks that looked like they were pierced by wire represented.
As the lord of the 570th floor of the Abyss and the final winner of the fight between the first generation of succubi, Mecanthus can grant a creature an additional four points of enhancement in one basic attribute.
As for which of the six basic attributes is strengthened, it is up to the blessed creature to choose.
Zuo Si himself chose the intelligence attribute, while David chose the strength attribute.
Yes!
In order to provide better assistance, the Succubus Queen gave them both the Queen's Kiss at the same time.
Through this evil emblem, Mecanthust can know the health status and location of the two at any time, and can communicate through telepathy, observe the surrounding situation with the help of his five senses, and even release spell-like abilities directly through the latter's body.
If one day the Succubus Queen wants to tear off this emblem, the creature that receives the Queen's Kiss will lose two to twelve points of charm attributes and lose an additional four points of enhancement attributes.
Of course, Zuo Si was not worried that Mecanthus would do this.
Because if she still had a bit of common sense, after witnessing the devastating destruction brought about by the arrival of the Odrachi, she would never provoke or even anger herself in any form.
What's more, after experiencing this incident, the Succubus Queen might even suffer the wrath of the will of the abyss and be forced to surrender to the forces of hell in advance to protect herself.
Asmodeus must have anticipated this, so he chose to reveal a lot of secrets and drag him into the water.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible amusement, and he said softly, "Yes, it is the Queen's Kiss. Among all the demon lords, only Mecanthut has the ability to command and control so many succubi."
"What's the message from the goddess of wealth to you?" Xinbu continued to ask curiously.
"Before the fun begins, we must first hunt down her son of God, the half-demon offspring that Six Fingers forced her to give birth to. Because the existence of these guys is a huge threat to Woking."
Zuo Si did not hide anything and stated the goddess' request openly.
He was not surprised at this request. Instead, he felt that the Goddess of Fortune was indeed a ruthless person who could kill Grazzt. Her decisiveness in some aspects was simply frightening.
After all, these sons of God who have half demon blood can easily become a tool to threaten themselves, whether they grow up on their own or fall into the hands of other demon lords.
Rather than letting them develop freely, it is better to strike first and kill them all without leaving a single one alive.
"Hunting the Son of God!"
When Xinbu heard these words, his pupils instantly dilated, contracted, and then dilated again, fully reflecting the unrest in his master's heart.
After a full minute, she asked tentatively in an uncertain tone: "Are you really going to hunt down those sons of God?"
"Why not?" Zuo Si asked meaningfully, pursing his lips. "After all, this is the will of the goddess Wojin, and I can also gain some extra benefits from it. Most importantly, these sons of gods are very young, and it is very easy to kill them."
"When do we start?"
Seeing that Zuo Si had made up his mind, Xin Bu didn't say anything more and just asked a symbolic question.
"Right now. I can use this opportunity to gain some time before Afra leaves the Silver Palace. If nothing unexpected happens, an hour will be enough."
After saying this, Zuo Si activated a scroll, leaving a magic projection on the spot. He then instantly became invisible and slipped out of the back door of the inn silently.
Also disappearing with him was the succubus loli Atona.
After walking out of the hotel, the two walked along the streets of the magnificent super-mega city - Zerata for a long distance before they entered an empty alley.
Looking at the mansion not far ahead, Zuo Si stroked the hair of the little guy beside him and said, "Do you know what we are here for?"
Atona quickly shook her head: "No, I don't know."
"Haha, I'm here to take you to a feast. For a succubus, there is no food in the world more nutritious and delicious than the Son of God. Let's go, let's visit the first one first."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si directly climbed over the towering wall and entered the interior of the mansion.
几名负责守卫的恶魔和半恶魔才刚发现有入侵者，就被他轻而易举的捏断脖子扔在地上。
煽动翅膀飞进来的魅魔萝莉二话不说，立刻将这些还没死透的同类吸成干尸。
可能是因为汲取了足够的能量，所以她看起来比之前长大了许多，不再是一副青涩稚嫩的模样，反而开始呈现出魅魔独有的诱惑风情。
虽然身高并没有太明显的变化，但曲线已经渐渐变得凹凸有致。
毫无疑问，恶魔的成长速度与他们的年龄无关，而是根据其摄入的能量，以及是否得到深渊意志的青睐成正比。
由于豪宅内的守卫数量并不多，而且实力普遍不强，左思仅用了不到五分钟的时间就将其清理干净，径直来到最内侧的房间，找到一名看上去十七八岁、正处于青少年时期的半恶魔神之子。
尽管对方灵魂中的神力与神性还很微弱，但还是被他清晰的捕捉到。
“你……你们是谁？怎么进来的！”
留着一头金色短发的恶魔神之子厉声质问。
他显然不是傻瓜，第一时间察觉到来者不善，并开始尝试呼唤手下前来帮忙。
但遗憾的是，外边院子里的恶魔和提夫林都已经死光了，根本得不到哪怕一丁点的回应。
正当这家伙准备启动传送魔法逃走的时候，一柄利剑突然从背后穿心而出。
噗！ 便随着刺眼的寒光和喷涌而出的鲜血，他的心脏当场被刺穿。
而动手的，正是魅魔萝莉阿托娜。
这个聪明的小家伙利用敌人所有注意力都被主人吸引的功夫，施展魅魔与生俱来的【幻化灵体】直接穿过墙壁出现在了背后，并抓住机会发动致命偷袭。
介于她手中的剑是巴洛炎魔所使用的斩首巨剑强化版，因此光凭这个恶魔神之子身上的铠甲根本抵挡不住。
一击得手之后，阿托娜并没有停下手中的动作，反手便抡起乙金火焰长鞭，分分钟把目标从头到脚给禁锢起来。
因为通过跟随左思一起进行大量解剖，她已经知道对部分强大的恶魔来说，心脏被刺穿并不意味着会立刻死亡。
等做完这一切，魅魔萝莉这才稍微松了一口气，眼睛里闪烁着兴奋与喜悦的光芒，那样子就仿佛一只捡回扔出去的球、正在等待主人夸奖的小狗。
“干得不错！不过下次你可以尝试着直接斩首，那样要比穿心更立竿见影。”
左思面带微笑摸了摸阿托娜的脑袋鼓励道。
“嗯！我下次会注意的。”
魅魔萝莉闭上眼睛一脸满足的享受着这种肢体上的亲近。
如果不去注意那柄还在滴血的斩首巨剑，以及倒在地上奄奄一息的受害者，她基本上就跟一名漂亮可爱的人类女孩没有任何区别。
“你……你们究竟是谁？为何要杀我？父……父亲是不会放过你们的！”
恶魔神之子一边往外喷血，一边断断续续的发出威胁，希望眼前这两个不知道什么来历的家伙能在知道后果有多严重之后，使用治疗药剂或是神术保住自己的小命。
看着这个还对生存抱有希望的可怜虫，左思一把捏着他的脖子将其从地上提起来，直截了当的宣布道：“财富女神渥金委托我转告你，你和你那些肮脏的兄弟姐妹不该存在于这个世界上。而我的目的，就是把你们身上玷污了神明的血脉彻底清理干净。”
“什么？是……是母亲！你……你是……”
恶魔神之子猛然间瞪大眼睛，整个人因为情绪激动而剧烈的颤抖。
但左思显然没兴趣跟一个注定死亡的家伙做过多交谈，立马给身边的阿托娜使了个眼色。
早已等候多时的魅魔萝莉，立马张开嘴疯狂汲取对方体内那充沛的魔法与生命能量。
眨眼功夫，遭到重创的恶魔神之子就变成一具干尸彻底咽气了。
就在他的灵魂脱离身体的刹那，左思瞬间发动了一张黑色旅法师卡牌，当场将灵魂挤压成纯粹的能量。
那无法用语言形容的剧烈痛苦甚至让受害者张开嘴想要哀嚎。
可惜，对方最终也没能发出一丁点的声音。
等灵魂彻底消散之后，一小团散发着金光的神力与神性终于被提取出来。
“欧尼希兹的卡牌在汲取和压榨能量方面，果然是非常好用呢。现在我要把这团东西的属性稍微转化一下。”
说罢，左思发动戴维安体内那颗燃烧的火花，把属于财富女神那金色的神力转化成为代表守序邪恶的黑红色，然后递到魅魔萝莉的面前。
“给，吃掉它。”
阿托娜显然并不知道摆在自己眼前的是一团神力，代表着永恒与不朽，无数凡人、恶魔和魔鬼会为了抢夺它而打的血流成河。
出于对主人的信任，她先是尝试着用魅魔的方法汲取这团能量，但最终却发现根本吸不动，只能拿起来忍受着被灼烧带来的痛苦，直接张开嘴将其吞下去。
当神力进入体内的瞬间，魅魔萝莉感觉到了一团火焰在体内熊熊燃烧。
大概两三秒的功夫，一团黑红色的火焰便从体内喷涌而出，席卷了周围的一切。
等这一切都平息下来之后，她才惊讶的发现，自己与无底深渊的联系被彻底切断，取而代之的是与主人之间的信仰连接得更加清晰，隐约之间仿佛看到了那个原本模糊的巨大黑影正在变得越来越清晰。
“主人，您刚才给我吃的是什么？”阿托娜小心翼翼的询问道。
左思笑着回答：“是神力。怎么样，现在是不是感觉到强大的力量源源不断从身体里涌现出来了呢？”
阿托娜微微点了下头：“嗯！我感觉自己的所有基础属性都得到了大幅度的增强，也获得了很多的类法术能力。而且……我还隐约看到了您的真身。”
“哦？
已经感受到了吗？ 你果然没有让我失望。
看来神力还真是个好东西呢。
走吧，接下来让我们一口气把剩下十几个神之子都杀掉。
吸收了他们体内的神性和神力之后，你应该就有资格成为我的信徒，获得我为你准备的大礼包了。”
说完这番话，左思便拉着魅魔萝莉直接离开这栋豪宅，前往下一个恶魔神之子的住所。
由于全程都有魅魔间谍提供的准确位置，所以他仅用四十多分钟就完成了针对十四个神之子的猎杀行动。
除了最后一个女性神之子在银宫内没办法动手，其余一个不落的全部变成了阿托娜成长的养料。
当然，这么多的神力与神性，想要在短时间内消化吸收是不可能的。
所以在吸收完最后一个之后，她立马蜷缩成一团结茧并陷入了深度沉睡。
左思随手将魅魔萝莉丢进箱子之后，独自返回了旅店之中。
就在他刚取消用来掩饰行踪的投影，阿弗拉便带着所谓的“好消息”回来了。
这家伙根本不知道自己的间谍身份已经被拆穿，仍旧摆出一副兴致勃勃的样子，向小队中的其他成员介绍自己通过特殊渠道打探到的消息，同时还掏出了一张银宫的简易地图。
看着这张故意忽略和屏蔽了所有陷阱的潦草平面图，左思似笑非笑的试探道：“我听说银宫中时常会放出大量地牢内的怪物，你打听到关于那里的情报了吗？”
“地牢？别开玩笑了！那里可是整个银宫内防御力量最严密的区域。整个三重领域内就没有人敢靠近。”
阿弗拉用夸张的语气和表情试图糊弄过去。
因为他已经知道格拉兹特会从地牢中发出大量危险且致命的怪物，准备好好招待眼前这些神祇的选民和使者。
但凡敢透露半个字，那么乌黯主君便会让这些怪物连带自己也一起攻击。
“那陷阱和传送门呢？别告诉我你连这个也没搞清楚。那样的话，我们就算进去也跟送死没有任何区别。一旦传送出错我们几个被分开，百分之百会被各个击破。”
欣布无疑知道左思脑海中的想法，所以主动站出来帮腔。
眼见队伍中大多数人都对自己提供的这点信息十分不满，阿弗拉便只能拿出杀手锏，在几个镜子大厅做个标记，用极快的语速说道：“关于传送门和陷阱，我当然做了一番调查。
看到这些房间内宛如镜子一样光滑的地面了吗？
它们内部其实都隐藏了一个传送门。
如果被触发的话，立刻便会将该房间的所有生物传送到特定地点。
其中有通往万渊平原的血战主战场，还有通往其他深渊层面，甚至喧癫空隧和焦炎地狱。
相信我，如果落在以上这些地方，其实结果并不会比当场死掉好多少。
所以我们要尽可能的避免进入这些房间，而是要按照我规划的这条路线进行潜入。
If we are lucky enough not to be discovered, we will be able to successfully rescue the goddess of wealth who is imprisoned in the deepest part."
"I see. Then what are we waiting for? Let's take action immediately. After all, for things like this, the longer we delay, the greater the possibility of being exposed." Zuo Si pretended to be impatient and urged.
"I also think we should act quickly to avoid any further complications." Pastor Bert agreed seriously, touching his chin.
"Hurry up! I can't wait to start killing." Warrior Quill grinned with a bloodthirsty smile.
As for the lawful good Bonita and Ilsa, since they cannot lie, they remain silent and expressionless from beginning to end.
With more than half of the members agreeing, the rescue operation finally began.
Afra led the team through several dark alleys and soon came to a so-called "secret entrance" prepared in advance.
After passing through a tunnel that looked like a sewer, everyone officially entered the mirror hall inside.
Just like the name suggests, the walls, floors and ceilings here are made entirely of smooth mirrors without any markings.
The strange structure and the shadows reflected by the light not only make people feel extremely scary and uncomfortable, but also strongly interfere with vision.
"Damn it! Aren't all the rooms in this palace like this?" Bonita couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
Xinbu spread his hands helplessly: "If nothing unexpected happens, it looks like this. In addition, this damn low temperature will cause the body heat to dissipate quickly, so we must maintain the corresponding protective spells."
"And also identifying directions! I feel that if we walk through the same hall of mirrors a few times at most, we will be completely lost and won't even be able to tell which entrance we came from." Pastor Bert added.
"Don't expect to leave any marks on the walls or ceiling, by the way.
The magic of these mirrors has an automatic repair function.
Even spells like Disintegration, Dispel Magic, and Great Disintegration cannot completely destroy the entire magic barrier.
The damaged part will automatically repair itself in a minute or two at most.”
In order to prove his observation, Zuo Si took out a dagger and cut a crack on the smooth mirror wall, then cast an advanced dispel magic on it.
As a result, in less than ten seconds, the magic barrier affected by the high-level contact magic was repaired by the influx of energy, and the scratch disappeared at the same time.
"Damn it! This crappy place reminds me of the underground maze of the mad wizard Halaster Blackrob. But what's more troublesome is that even identifying the direction is a big problem here." Quill complained with gritted teeth while carrying a black giant sword.
Aphra smiled and consoled him, "Don't worry, I'll show you the way. Come on, follow me, and let's go through these mirror halls at the entrance first."
In this way, under his leadership, the team members maintained high vigilance and passed through the empty mirror halls that were completely indistinguishable from each other, and soon came to a place filled with gold, silver coins and gems.
Since there were extremely smooth mirrors all around, the bright light of gold and the bright colors reflected by the colorful gems were so dazzling that people felt dizzy and couldn't even open their eyes.
Aphra took advantage of this opportunity to instantly enter stealth mode, leaped into one of the portals, and disappeared without a trace.
Not only that!
Due to the reflection of a large number of mirrors, no one could see clearly which portal he jumped into.
Immediately afterwards, a teasing voice echoed over the hall of mirrors.
"Welcome! Welcome to you! The chosen people and messengers of the gods. Do you know that I have put a lot of effort into hosting this grand welcome ceremony?"
"Lord Wu'an, who is most favored by the will of the abyss, we are truly honored to be received and valued by you personally."
Zuo Si calmly placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly in the direction where the other person was looking at him.
"Oh? You don't seem surprised at all by Afra's betrayal." Graz'zt asked with interest.
"Accident? Why should we be surprised?" Zuo Si asked indifferently. "In the abyss, chaos and betrayal are very common. Moreover, Afra is a typical ambitious half-demon, and we have never really trusted him."
This explanation surprised Grazite, who immediately asked, "Since you don't trust him, why did you follow him into the Silver Palace? With your intelligence, you should know that this is a trap, right?"
Zuo Si replied with a smile: “Because this is the only way for us to enter the Silver Palace without facing an endless army of demons and undead creatures.
As for other things, they need to be considered after entering the Silver Palace.
And I know your character, you will definitely use this as a pretext to play a game with us.
This means that even if we fall into a trap, we still have a certain chance of finding the goddess of wealth, Waukeen."
Snap, snap, snap…
Following the crisp applause, Grazzt praised generously, "Very brilliant and accurate analysis. I must apologize for having underestimated you before.
That’s right!
I just want to play a game with you, a game with life and soul at stake.
If you lose, life and soul will all belong to me.
If you win, I will let you and Waukeen, the goddess of wealth, go.
Well, that's fair, isn't it? "
"So what are the rules of the game?" Zuo Si asked calmly.
"The rules are simple! Starting from this Hall of Mirrors, if you get lost or can't find your way, you must sacrifice one person.
And I will give you some hints after I get this person's soul.
If you find the right direction through the clues, I will return the detained soul to you and revive him.
But if I can't crack it, then this soul will completely belong to me.
Oh, and yes, there are monsters.
How can an adventure be without all kinds of monsters to liven up the fun..."
The moment Graz'zt finished his last word, groups of undead creatures suddenly rushed out from the mountains of gold and silver treasures in the room.
(End of this chapter)
