Since the return of the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, the churches, merchants and people here have been holding a carnival for several weeks.
Be it the six-member council, which is the highest authority, the upper ruling class that is rooted here, or the common people from the bottom, they are all immersed in an atmosphere of joy and cannot extricate themselves.
Because the patron saint they relied on and worshipped the most has finally returned.
Moreover, after disappearing for so many years, the image of the incarnation that descended during the celebration was still as beautiful and noble, and its divine power and influence had not diminished much.
The only thing that made the people feel regretful was that Soth, the absolute "protagonist" who contributed the most in this dangerous rescue operation deep into the bottomless abyss of Graz'zt's triple realm, and also the pride, protector and greatest hero of the city beneath his feet, had never shown up from beginning to end.
Instead, the "supporting roles" frequently appeared at celebrations, enjoying compliments and praise from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and the government, as well as rewards awarded by Woking himself.
Of course, this does not mean that the people of the City of Gold Coins are ungrateful, or that they feel that the gods' elects and messengers have done too little.
They were just standing up for Zuo Si.
After all, in the eyes of the people, the other members of the team are "outsiders", but Zuo Si who settled here is "one of us".
Some businessmen and nobles even spontaneously organized a so-called "gratitude donation" event.
The family's treasured magical items, materials, magical plants and animals, and strange objects were taken out and sent to the Wizard's Tower as gifts.
Because Zuo Si's interest in this kind of thing far exceeds that of gold coins, it has long been known to all the people of Am.
Zelanora, the avatar that Shane VII left behind at the Guild of Masked Mages, was standing on top of a high tower, looking at the bustling scene on the street outside, and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Entering the abyss to challenge the Dark Lord Graz'zt, and rescue the goddess of wealth Waukin? He even summoned the terrifying monster from the dark void that could devour and destroy everything - the Eldrazi.
Soth, my young friend, your actions are really getting bigger and bigger.
But this also proves that the choice I made was correct.
To possess the power of the Planeswalker Spark is to possess everything.
The price you have to pay for this is nothing compared to what you get.”
Just as the simulacrum was about to cast a detection magic or make a wish to try to confirm Zuo Si's location, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.
Then a middle-aged man wearing a signature grey robe and hood walked in from outside.
It was not difficult to tell from the badge he wore that his status in the Guild of Masked Mages was quite high, second only to those great wizards at the pinnacle of power, and he was even qualified to obtain a separate room and laboratory in the headquarters.
But in front of Shane VII, this wizard of high status still behaved very humbly, lowered his head and bowed deeply.
"Master, as you instructed, I have delivered the item to Vera Salem Quante.
If nothing unexpected happens, she should choose to take action within three days at most.
At that time, the Salem Quante family, the most powerful family in Amn and the actual controller of the Guild of Masked Mages, will become a plaything and puppet in your hands.
The souls of those who died would be twisted by the corruption of the Death Orb.
Unless it is a wish of the Nine Rings, no arcane or divine magic can revive it."
Hearing this, Sean VII immediately turned around with a satisfied expression.
“You did a great job.
Remember, you must ensure that the patriarch of his family, Selzer Salemquante, who is also the leader of the Council of Six, is captured alive.
Only in this way can you obtain the magic contract and become the true master of the Masked Mage Guild."
The man nodded vigorously and said, "I understand! Don't worry, I will personally lead the team and launch a raid with your undead servants.
Whatever cards Selzer Salem had up his sleeve, he couldn't escape this time.
But I don’t quite understand why you chose to take action at such a sensitive time?
You must know that the incarnation of the goddess of wealth is still staying in the temple, and our actions are likely to trigger a fierce reaction from her church and the paladins of the Knights of the Burning Heart. "
Shane VII replied meaningfully, “Because the value of the country of Amn and the Guild of Masked Mages is constantly depreciating in Soth’s eyes.
I must ensure that these two things are handed over to him before their value falls below the bottom line, otherwise everything will become meaningless.
It's like if you have a large sum of money in your hand, and you give it to someone who has only tens of thousands of gold coins and to someone who has millions of gold coins, the effect will be very different.
What's more, isn't there a scapegoat like Vera Salem Quante, a crazy and ambitious woman? If all else fails, she can be killed by the Knights of the Burning Heart.
Once the remaining five guys on the six-member council realize the seriousness of the problem, they will be eager to close the case.
After all, for them, the top priority is how to ensure that the regime and society do not experience drastic upheavals after losing their leader.
As for the goddess of wealth, Waukeen, and her church, they will not get involved in such matters at all."
"I see. I think I know what to do."
After saying that, the man once again placed one hand on his chest and bowed deeply, then turned and disappeared at the end of the corridor outside the door.
Less than a minute after he left, Xia En VII turned around and bowed slightly to the figure who had just descended from the sky on the balcony, emitting brilliant golden light from head to toe, and took the initiative to greet him: "Welcome, honorable goddess of wealth."
"Hello, the last legitimate emperor of the ancient Shane Empire."
Wakin responded with good intentions, and stepped into the exquisite room that exuded the unique aesthetic of the moon elves.
"I wonder if you can help me with anything during my sudden visit?"
Shane VII looked at the goddess and tested her cautiously.
Although he did not think that the other party was coming to cause trouble for him, his instinctive fear of the powerful force of the gods still subconsciously made him more alert.
But Wojin shook his head slightly and said directly: "I found that you and your men are planning to deal with the Salem Quante family, and then seize the control of the entire Masked Mages Guild and even Amn. If you don't mind, can you tell me whether you plan to restore the territory and territory of the Shane Empire?"
After realizing the Goddess of Fortune's intention, Sean VII immediately laughed and explained while laughing: "Yes, and no.
I am indeed restoring the empire's former boundaries and territory.
But not in the way you might think.
Just the opposite!
I intend to unify Calimshan and Tethyr in the south myself, and let Soth integrate Amn, Baldur's Gate, and the Western Heartlands in the north.
Finally, through marriage, he will become the ruler of this huge empire."
"So... you are trying to seize the rule of Amn for Soth?"
A look of surprise came over Waukeen's face.
Even after she returned, she had learned about a series of major actions that the "Undead Emperor" had taken in conjunction with Zuo Si in the south.
But I never expected that their relationship would be so good.
"That's right! This is the promise I made to him when I tried to win him over in order to deal with my mortal enemy, Ivykola Thagran.
Now it is finally time to deliver.
So, do you and your church want to get involved? Or are you against it?"
Shane VII asked calmly.
Wakin gracefully covered his mouth and smiled as he responded, “No, you misunderstood.
I didn't mean to interfere, I was just curious.
In addition, if Soth were to rule Amn, I would not object, and would even provide some necessary support.
After all, he not only helped me escape from prison, but also taught Graz'zt, that treacherous demon, a lesson he would never forget.
What's more, a strong and unified empire will promote the prosperity and development of trade, and a stable society will be conducive to the accumulation of wealth.
Most importantly, I think many of Soth's ideas in the business field coincide with mine.
If your plan succeeds, my followers and influence will surely increase significantly within his jurisdiction."
Hearing the Goddess of Fortune say this, Sean VII immediately relaxed a lot, and also teased in a half-joking tone: "This is exactly what I wanted to say.
Soth is a very special and interesting person.
他好像有一种与生俱来的天赋，可以轻而易举看穿别人内心深处的渴望，并且永远都能开出令人乃至神祇都无法拒绝的条件。
就连正义之神提尔、忠诚于勇气之神托姆、苦难之神伊尔马特这种与其阵营截然相反的守序善良神明，也能与他和谐相处甚至是进行大范围深度合作。
虽然索斯本人完全不会信仰任何神，但却深得许多神明的喜爱。”
“是啊！ 哪个神会不希望获得一个能够给自己带来巨大利益，甚至是对神职和教义做出更深度解读的强大选民呢。
只可惜，索斯仅有一个。
而且站在他身后的魔法女神和剧毒与疾病女神都不怎么好惹。
不过没关系，我还可以通过其他方式与其建立起友谊与良好的合作关系，你觉得呢？”
渥金意味深长盯着夏恩七世的眼睛。
后者立马心领神会，主动弯腰行了一礼：“这是我的荣幸。有了您和您的教会帮助，我想这次行动肯定会变得更加轻松顺利。”
“现在让我们来谈谈具体的步骤吧。要知道现在盯着阿斯卡特拉的神可不少，我们必须格外小心才行。”
说着，渥金轻轻一挥手直接在光滑的白色墙壁上投影出了整个安姆最上层统治阶级的家族名单，以及他们与塞勒姆全特家族千丝万缕的联系。
无数还在为了财富女神归来而欢庆的家伙丝毫没有察觉到，一场阴谋和风暴即将降临。
……
另外一边，刚刚激活了存放在法师塔内分身的左思，正在自己的“快乐屋”内逗弄着那些浑身毛茸茸的可爱动物，顺便放松一下绷紧的神经。
尤其是作为动物伙伴的白熊幼崽，一段时间不见已经长大了好几圈，许多动作看起来笨拙且憨态可掬，十分的滑稽可爱。
一只遍布着黑色条纹的亚成年老虎想要靠近跟饲主亲热一下，结果被它一巴掌掀翻在地，充分展现出了自己在这群动物中无可撼动的“恶霸”地位。
尽管老虎体型看起来更大也更强壮，可在力量属性上显然远不如身体构造已经是“异怪”，而且还获得了传奇德鲁伊自然之力加持的白熊。
正当这家伙一屁股坐在老虎脑袋上洋洋得意的时候，突然感觉背后传来一阵阴风，立马吓得转过脑袋。
结果发现身为主人的左思正用一种非常奇怪的眼神，盯着自己。
“嗯——我说阿蒂奥（白熊的名字），你是不是到了该割蛋的年纪？”左思摸着下巴饶有兴致的问道。
他眼神中所透露出来的兴奋光芒，顿时让白熊幼崽夹紧了双腿，赶忙一个劲的拼命摇头。
割蛋？
开什么玩笑！ 这可是它身为雄性的尊严与骄傲。
还指望着以后多找几只母熊繁衍后代呢。
可左思显然并不打算轻易放过阿蒂奥，立刻起身走到近前，摸着白熊的脑袋用充满蛊惑的语气继续劝慰道：“别那么抗拒。
相信我，早点割掉其实对你也有好处。
没了这两个碍事的东西，你也就没有了致命弱点，更不会每年还要发情，从此失去那种低级的繁衍欲望，可以把所有精力都集中到训练与干饭这两件事情上来。
而且我的手艺真的很不错，保证会切得干干净净，一点也不疼。”
说罢，左思拿起摆放在桌子上的切割与解剖刀具，凭空做了个比划的动作，瞬间把白熊幼崽吓得直打哆嗦，不断从嘴里发出一阵呜呜呜的悲鸣。
不用问也知道，这是他某些不为人知的小癖好犯了。
早年在浮空城高塔当学徒的时候，左思为了练习自己的“手艺”，就曾经祸害过无数实验用的老鼠。
由于这些老鼠还有其他的用途，所以他不能将其大卸八块，就只能闲着没事把老鼠的“荔枝”切下来，然后再进行剥皮拆解，确保在不伤害器官的情况下完成这一系列复杂精细的操作。
在那段时间，整个法师塔内所有的公耗子，基本都是没蛋的公公。
为此左思还获得一个“拆蛋狂魔”的绰号。
不少男性学徒在看到他之后都会下意识打了个激灵，然后下半身不受控制的产生轻微幻痛。
久而久之，他还养成了特殊的癖好，那就是看到动物身上毛茸茸的大“荔枝”就会忍不住想将其割掉。
病情最严重的时候，连法师塔所在位置附近路过的公猫、公狗和其他雄性动物，都惨遭抓捕和麻醉。
然后在不知不觉的情况下直接被绝育了。
其中不乏有某些低级法师的魔宠……
后来一些法师忍无可忍找上门来，左思本人也被阿斯塔亲自警告，这才稍微变得收敛了一些。
可现在，白熊那两颗毛茸茸、明晃晃的大“荔枝”，又勾起了他的拆蛋之魂。
就在一人一熊僵持的功夫，一个红色的身影突然出现在房间内，正是变化成人类形态的维尔梅斯。
当她看到前两者那诡异的姿势和动作后，立刻满脸疑惑不解的问：“你……这是在干什么？”
“啊！没什么，我只是在跟阿蒂奥商量，是不是可以把它的荔枝割下来，省得以后每年还会发情。”
左思赶忙从地上站起来，装出一副无事发生的样子。
而一旁的白熊幼崽则明显松了一口气，赶忙撒丫子跑出房间消失在法师塔错综复杂的走廊内。
“割蛋？”
维尔梅斯难以置信的挑起眉毛，那眼神仿佛在说“你是个变态吗”。
“咳咳……
这是为了避免动物在发情期冲动、易怒、攻击性太强而采取的必要措施。
毕竟以后阿蒂奥要经常跟随我进出一些人口密集的城市或者重要场合。
一旦它处于发情期不小心伤人乃至杀人了怎么办？ 像这种事情最好直接从根源上解决问题。”
左思板着脸强行解释了一番。
他明显也知道自己这种喜欢拆蛋的嗜好的确不太好，所以果断选择掩盖真相。
反正白熊幼崽又不会说话，根本不用担心会泄露出去。
不过维尔梅斯显然一个字都不相信，只是对此并不感兴趣所以没有深究，反倒是随手将一个骷髅形状的戒指扔了过来，直截了当的说道：“给，这是你让我去调查那伙人首领佩戴的东西。”
“暗日教会的戒指？”
仅仅看了一眼，左思就马上认出希瑞克那独有的圣徽。
毕竟在费伦，使用骷髅作为标记的神原本就不多，通常情况下神职都跟死亡有关。
其中谋杀之神巴尔继承了一部分死亡神职，所以其圣徽上就是一个骷髅加血点环绕的样子。
二代死神米尔寇则是骷髅加红眼眶的三角形图案。
眼下继承了死亡三神全部力量和神职的希瑞克，标记则是骷髅加黑色或紫色太阳的组合。
尽管其主体图案都是骷髅，可对于拥有一定宗教知识和常识的人还是很容易就能辨认出来。
更何况眼下这枚用镂空方式雕刻出来的秘银戒指，是希瑞克教会高级人员才有资格佩戴、代表其身份和地位的标识。
不仅可以额外增加一个五环神术位，同时还永久性加持了【防护善良】和【元素护盾】。
“没错！那些鬼鬼祟祟正在往散提尔堡汇聚的家伙，基本无一例外都是暗日教会的成员。
他们的数量很多，似乎接受到了同一个神谕，所以才会出现大规模的聚集。
而且在举行祈祷仪式的时候，这些狂热的信徒还像神经病一样高呼暗日是这个世界唯一真神的言论。
也许你之前的判断是对的，那个疯子恐怕要有什么大动作了。”
维尔梅斯直截了当把自己看到、听到的情况一股脑说了出来。
要知道在费伦大陆的历史上，还从未有哪个神敢给自己冠以“唯一真神”这样的名号。
因为这基本就等同于是直接向其他所有的神明宣战，属于典型嫌自己死得慢了想要加快速度。
“唯一真神？哈哈哈哈！”
左思突然毫无征兆扶着额头爆发出一阵狂笑，同时开心的感叹道：“终于开始了吗？那件强大、邪恶而又混乱的神书看来是编撰完成了呢。”
“你好像知道什么？”
维尔梅斯眼睛里闪烁着强烈的好奇。
没办法不好奇。
因为光是希瑞克教会的信徒，大规模向散塔林会和暴政之神班恩教会最坚固的老巢——散提尔堡聚集这一点，就足以说明其背后可能隐藏的巨大阴谋。
毕竟但凡不是傻子都知道，在希瑞克获得死亡三神全部神力和神职后，几乎不费吹灰之力就获得了死神米尔寇和谋杀之神巴尔教会大部分成员的投靠。
但唯有暴政之神班恩的教会誓死不从。
Not only did they refuse to convert, but they also used Bane's Son of God as a shield to continue maintaining their internal unity.
So over the years, Cyric has been trying various ways to infiltrate Zhentil Keep in an attempt to make those stubborn mortals surrender.
Wilmes thought that if the two churches really came to blows, he might consider joining them as a mercenary and making a lot of money.
Then, when the opportunity arises, they will directly plunder the entire Zhentil Castle, which has accumulated amazing wealth over hundreds of years.
At that time, not only can you make a name for yourself in one fell swoop, but you can also expand the scale of your treasure several times or even dozens of times.
Seeing the undisguised greed in the red dragon's eyes, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and warned, "I suggest you give up those unrealistic ideas. Because this is not a small fight between churches, but a head-on collision between gods."
"You mean... there will be a war between gods?"
Wilmes' pupils suddenly dilated, contracted, and then dilated again, showing the unrest in his owner's heart.
After all, the struggles among the gods on the continent of Faerun are usually proxy wars, that is, fights between believers and the church.
As for gods, there is usually no direct conflict between gods.
Because the destructive power is so terrifying and shocking.
Just look at the wars that broke out during the turbulent years when the gods walked as the weakest saints, and you will know how terrifying the power of creatures like gods is.
If a material plane or planet is not protected by Io, the god above gods, like Toril.
Even if the two weakest gods fight with all their might, it is possible that the entire planet or plane will collapse directly.
"It's not certain that a war between gods will break out, but it's very likely that someone with a disordered mind will send down an incarnation. It seems I need to warn Fuzzol Chamberlain."
After saying that, Zuo Si raised his hand and cast the [Short Message Technique] to tell the other party about the unusual movements of the Xirik Church and the secret of the evil artifact "The Xirik Scripture".
After doing all this, he raised his head and looked at the red dragon that was close at hand, and asked with a smile: "Are you interested in adding a purgatory bloodline to yourself?"
"Purgatory bloodline?!"
Wilmes' eyes lit up instantly and he leaned forward out of habit, completely forgetting that he was in human form and not a dragon.
Through the fiery red low-cut long skirt, one can clearly see the well-trained and muscular body underneath, as well as the rich and generous bust.
Especially the latter, which almost hit Zuo Si directly in the face and caused suffocation.
Fortunately, Zuo Si reacted quickly and stretched out a finger to press on the Red Dragon's forehead, which made the "murder weapon" stop at a safe distance. He said meaningfully: "That's right.
I can now grant you powerful Infernal bloodline, upgrading you from an ordinary red dragon to an Infernal Red Dragon.
Not only will there be additional bonuses to size and strength, but the breath will also carry the unique foul damage of Hellfire Breath."
"This is impossible! Only the Dragon God Tiamat who has served as the lord of a level, and a very small number of top-level demons who control an entire level have such ability!" Wilmes screamed.
You should know that for most of the five-colored evil dragons, one of the biggest wishes in this life is to go to hell to receive the blessing of Tiamat and thus obtain the purgatory bloodline.
For this purpose, he even did not hesitate to participate in extremely dangerous bloody battles and fight bloody battles with endless demons.
This not only means gaining more powerful strength, but also means breaking the limit of one's own lifespan.
As long as you are not killed, you can live and become stronger and stronger.
In Wilmes's opinion, this is not a power that mortals can master, so he reacted so violently.
"Haha, then why do you think I'm not a big devil now?"
As he spoke, Zuo Si showed his devil form to the female red dragon that had followed him for a long time.
When the unique form that mixed the characteristics of a dragon and a devil was completely transformed, Wilmes fell into a daze and was unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Because the lawful hell is not a place like the Abyss where all kinds of weird things are.
Each type of devil clearly represents a social class and a strict hierarchy.
In other words, there are a limited number of demons.
You can basically guess what it is just by looking at the appearance.
And the unique external form often only represents one thing, that is, the level lord who stands at the pinnacle of power and authority in Baator.
shock!
Confuse!
Can't understand!
Wilmes' not-so-smart brain worked rapidly, and after several minutes he stammered, "When did you join the devil of hell?"
“Surrender? No, no, no, I didn’t surrender. Asmodeus personally invited me to join.
By the way, let me correct you, the Lord of Hell is just one of my many identities, not all of them.
If you want to travel or sightsee there in the future, you can always use the portal to reach my territory, the new ninth level of hell.
Okay, enough small talk.
Now are you ready to receive the blessing from the Hell Plane?"
As he spoke, Zuo Si raised his right hand, which was as sharp as a dragon's claw. A faint mark kept flashing on the palm of his hand.
Needless to say, that mark is the unique mark of being a level lord, and its essence is also a devil's contract.
Once this mark is branded on the red dragon's soul, Wilmes will be completely his property, both in body and soul.
"Damn it! It seems like there's no hope for me to escape from your clutches in this lifetime."
Wilmes cursed under his breath in slight frustration.
Although she was not the smart and studious red dragon, she knew what this soul imprint meant.
But the problem is that the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, and she has no choice at all.
After struggling for a while, Wilmes finally accepted his fate and tore open his clothes to reveal his entire chest.
"I'm ready! Come! Make your mark on my body and soul!"
"Don't talk like I'm doing something unspeakable to you."
Zuo Si rolled his eyes in annoyance, then pressed his entire palm on the other person's chest.
The next second...
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss! A creepy burning sound was heard instantly, and a pungent burnt smell was emitted.
Wilmes, who was enduring the power of hell, could not help but let out a heart-wrenching scream.
“Aa ...
In just a few seconds, a large number of patterns flashing red light emerged from the skin out of thin air. Whether it was the face, limbs, or smooth back, they were all densely covered with one symbol after another emitting an evil aura.
The red dress she was wearing was completely burned in the process, not even a speck of dust was left.
But soon these symbols gradually cooled down and turned into black tattoo-like existences, and finally disappeared completely.
After everything calmed down, Wilmes, who was sweating all over, struggled to get up from the ground, and suddenly hot red flames emerged from his body.
In a flash, he seamlessly transitioned from human form to dragon form.
The tables, chairs, bookshelves, experimental equipment, decorations, etc. in the room were immediately messed up by her, and most of them were reduced to ashes under the burning flames.
Fortunately, these things are mostly decorations and are not worth much money.
When the transformation was completely completed, Wilmes' amazing body shape was fully revealed, and the burning hellfire disappeared without a trace.
Her scales, which had originally begun to darken, now turned a bright red like a young dragon, but her wings were a shiny black color close to obsidian. Her eyes also changed from lava-like fireballs to black jade, and the horns on her head were almost the same color, and had an obviously uneven, jagged shape.
You don't need to ask to know that this is what the red dragon looks like after being strengthened by the energy of Purgatory.
The most important thing is that the length, height, and weight of the body have all been greatly improved.
Zuo Si had now returned to his human form. He looked at his work and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad! This is what a Purgatory Red Dragon should look like.
Compared to ordinary red dragons, its strength, physique, charm, intelligence, magic resistance and the protective power of its scales have been greatly improved.
With your current strength, you won’t suffer much even if you fight against those real dragon kings.
In addition, you can also obtain divine arts from me by believing in and worshipping me.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Since you are mine from body to soul, you don't need this rare item anymore."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si directly cast a spell and took out the intelligent magic item made from the mind flayer's brain hidden in the skull.
Looking at the tentacle monster that was obviously much bigger than when it was stuffed in, Wilmes asked with a complicated expression: "What are you going to do with it?"
"It's easy! Find another powerful enough dragon, pry open his skull and stuff it in. That way, I'll have a new toy that I can slowly train."
Zuo Si grinned into a chilling and sinister smile.
"Training? Toys?"
Wilmes suddenly felt that these two words were very harsh, and two dark red sparks spewed out of his nose to express his dissatisfaction.
"Ah! Don't get me wrong, I'm not referring to you. Because you are my friend and ally, unlike those other dragons."
Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the Purgatory Red Dragon's little emotion and immediately comforted him in a very perfunctory manner.
Wilmes was obviously angry but dared not say anything. He glared at her with his big dark eyes fiercely. It took him a long time to suppress his anger. He asked with gritted teeth: "What are your plans next? Are you going to watch Dark Sun and his group of lunatics destroy Zhentil Castle? Or..."
"Don't worry, keep calm.
Zhentil Keep is not defenseless.
Didn't you see that Fuzzol Chamberlain didn't respond to my text message? If I'm not mistaken, he might be planning to make a big move this time."
Zuo Si stroked his chin and guessed.
"Okay. If a fight or war breaks out, remember to call me. I can't wait to show my strength and prestige to the whole of Faerun."
After saying this, Wilmes quickly changed into human form and left the messy room.
Perhaps because of her purgatory bloodline, her originally red dress has now turned red and black, and her hair and pupils have also changed from red to black.
It looks arrogant, cold, and noble, and adds a sense of mystery and sexiness out of thin air.
Staring at Wilmes's receding figure, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile and comment, "This guy has really improved a lot after my training. What do you think?"
Qiwu immediately responded through the mental connection: "Of course.
Most true dragons are terribly lazy, so lazy that they waste countless hours on meaningless sleeping, treasure collecting, and personal hobbies.
If they can make full use of this time, they can easily crush other races and create an unprecedentedly powerful and huge empire."
"yes.
From what I've heard, the elves seem to be facing similar problems.
Lack of sense of time and urgency is a common problem among almost all long-lived races.
By the way, this time I plan to let you directly devour the brain of a dragon and take away his body and soul.
Eventually it transformed into a special creature like the Brain-stealing Dragon.
Do you have the confidence to succeed?"
Zuo Si asked with interest.
"I don't know, Master. Perhaps you should send me to Miss Isadora, the mastermind, to strengthen me. Maybe you can increase the success rate a little bit."
Qiwu quickly gave his suggestions.
Because the Brain-Grabbing Dragon is so rare and so special.
It is both a monster and a real dragon.
Some scholars believe that this is a dragon transformed by a mind flayer larva;
Some scholars believe that this was the will of the dragon that triumphed over the mind flayer larvae;
Other scholars believe that this is the result of the mind flayer being successfully transformed but then being snatched back by the powerful soul of the dragon, or some inexplicable fusion between the two.
In short, almost all research reports are unable to provide a convincing and accurate answer.
Even the Mind Flayer himself doesn't know what the Brain Flayer is.
But one thing is certain, the latter never considers the mind flayer as its own kind, nor will it be controlled by the mastermind.
Almost as soon as the two sides meet, they will attack without hesitation and try to kill each other.
The Mind Flayer wants to eliminate this huge threat that has powerful psychic abilities but is out of control;
The Brain Reaper simply hates and detests the Mind Flayers, and wants to dig out their brains and feast on them.
Just as Zuo Si was about to send the rare item to the floating city through the portal, he suddenly noticed that the succubus lolita, Atona, who had transformed into a cocoon in one of the boxes, suddenly had a very strong life reaction.
So he had to stuff the strange object into a jar full of sticky solution first, and then open the box to take the little guy out.
I saw that the originally smooth outer wall of the cocoon was now covered with cracks like a spider web.
Not only that!
Through the translucent membrane, you can see the golden light emanating from the succubus loli inside, symbolizing divinity and divine power.
The latter were no doubt taken from the half-demon son of Waukeen, the goddess of wealth.
The so-called divinity is actually like the spark that has not yet been ignited in the mage, which is a potential qualification that is superior to all living beings.
In other words, all creatures that possess divinity can, through training, perception, and understanding of this power, eventually ignite it into a spark of divinity and become true gods in the true sense of the word.
Of course, this is not an easy thing to do.
Because there are quite a few divine creatures, but only a handful of them can truly be deified.
Especially for those sons of God who are born with divinity, almost all of their lives are filled with a fatalistic tragedy.
This is true for the Sons of Bhaal, and it is also true for the Sons of Bane, the god of tyranny.
But Atona was obviously lucky.
All the divine power she absorbed had been transformed by Zuo Si and no longer had any relationship with its original owner, the goddess of wealth Waukin.
As these divinities gradually merged into the body and soul, the entire cocoon suddenly shattered with a snap.
Immediately afterwards, the succubus loli floating in the air finally slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
She first looked around vigilantly, and then asked in an uncertain tone: "Master, how long have I slept? And where is this place?"
"You slept for a long time. As for this place, it is the continent of Faerun on the planet Toril in the Prime Material Plane."
Zuo Si reached out and gently touched the little guy's head, then began to give him a physical examination.
Among them, the compatibility between the soul and divinity is of utmost importance.
Atona cooperated very well and took off the leather armor that was like a tights, leaving only a close-fitting vest and shorts. At the same time, she said carefully: "Master, I seem to be able to clearly feel your presence."
"Oh? Did you pray?" Zuo Si asked with a smile.
The succubus nodded: "Yes! I have obtained the special profession [Knight of Truth] that you bestowed on me, as well as all its knowledge and training methods. Now I can cast three first-level divine spells every day, and two spell-like abilities."
"Good, keep up the good work. You should know that I have high expectations of you. Here, use it as a medium when you cast divine arts in the future."
As he spoke, Zuo Si handed an emblem made of cold iron to Atona.
"Thank you very much! Master, can I hug you?"
The succubus Loli held the holy emblem in both hands, tilted her head back and blinked her big, lively eyes full of desire.
"sure."
Zuo Si smiled and gave an affirmative answer.
The next second...
Atona jumped up and hugged Zuo Si's neck tightly, closing her eyes and enjoying the indescribable sense of security, while secretly rejoicing that she had finally escaped from the terrible abyss.
