If you travel by sea, it is only about five days' voyage to the Nelanther Islands.

However, due to the influence of ocean currents and wind direction, as well as the terrifying beasts and monsters in the deep sea that ordinary people cannot imagine, it has always been in a state of being almost isolated from the world.

The most common rumor people on the continent of Faerun heard about Lantan Island was that the residents there worshipped Gunder, the god of craftsmen, but despised and even hated magic.

The dwarfs and human inventors here used their knowledge and skills to build countless things that shocked and incomprehensible to ordinary people in this world.

These included complex vehicles with suspension, shock absorbers, and replaceable parts rarely seen elsewhere; agricultural machinery that could be powered by steam powered by burning coal or wood;

An alarm device that can make a loud noise or sound when triggered by an electric current;

Mechanical clocks of all sizes made of gears and hinges; forging hammers and automatic looms driven by water; high-powered telescopes that can be used to observe other celestial bodies in the entire Crystal Wall system; and a system of surgical tools that can be called the most sophisticated in the world of Toril;

It is said that even the expensive alchemical muskets and cannons were first invented here.

Because of the turbulent years, Gond once descended to Lantan Island in the form of a dwarf saint.

As a thank you to the locals for sheltering him, he secretly taught them a unique formula of gunpowder.

Therefore, this island has a terrifying firepower network that would make any invader's scalp tingle.

Once upon a time, a group of reckless pirates formed a huge fleet to plunder towns and steal property. However, before they could even get close to the beach, they were sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish by the overwhelming bullets and barrels of explosives thrown at them.

When using hot weapons against cold weapons, unless there is help from a high-level spellcaster, basically no matter how many come, as many will die.

If you walk in the three most important cities of Lantan Island, Sandra, Black Deer City and Ankeril, you will even feel like you are living on Earth in the 18th or 19th century.

As the ruler of this island, the Church of Gond always encourages people to create and invent, and gives the most talented inventors various rewards ranging from honors to money.

In particular, the chiming clock, a specialty of the church, can almost be said to be the most exquisite and accurate timekeeping tool besides magical items, and is deeply loved by nobles, wealthy businessmen and scholars.

Even the mages would not hesitate to spend a lot of gold coins to buy two or three.

As a subordinate god of Oghma, the god of knowledge, Gond and his church have always maintained a very good cooperative relationship with Zuo Si.

The technology and craftsmanship that the latter brought back from other worlds have benefited this craftsman and god of craftsmanship greatly.

The number of believers has also expanded in Luskan, the Nelanther Islands, Amn, and other places.

The only thing that made Gund feel regretful was that he never found a chance to talk to the young planeswalker alone and have an in-depth exchange of views and opinions in related fields.

According to the original plan, he intended to descend his incarnation in the "Xuanqi Hall" where various inventions were displayed when Zuo Si left Candlekeep and headed north to Baldur's Gate a few years ago.

But who knew that those dukes had no idea what was wrong with their brains and directly expelled all the priests of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, and also banned Zuo Si from entering the city, causing the entire arrangement to fail in an instant.

If Gond's camp was not absolutely neutral and his temper was not good, he would definitely make these mortals who ruined his plan pay the price.

But even so, he issued an order to the church operating in the Baldur's Gate area, prohibiting it from cooperating with any duke and his affiliated forces.

This directly led to the four dukes no longer being able to receive any help from the Church of the God of Craftsmen in the following years. Even the previously prosperous shipbuilding industry was shrinking due to the loss of craftsmen.

As Zuo Si reached a cooperation agreement with the goddess of wealth, Woking, the entire west coast of the continent of Faerun instantly underwent tremendous changes.

The originally closed Lantan Island became one of the first founding members of the Trade Alliance at the instruction of Gunde, and also welcomed the first fixed route directly to the land in history.

When the huge airship landed on the open space and continuously brought various resources that the island most needed, both the dwarf inventors and human inventors were excited.

They rushed forward and asked the Church of the Goddess of Wealth personnel in charge of its operation how the giant aircraft worked and the various technologies used.

If the Gunde Church hadn't stopped them, these people would have rushed forward and completely dismantled the airship.

One crazy guy even tried to stick his head into the huge oil engine to find out what was inside, and was nearly crushed into a pulp.

Fortunately, the airship had already gained consciousness and intelligence after being modified by Shuoyou, and the rotation of the engine was stopped in time to avoid a tragedy.

Looking at the pairs of eyes around him that were glowing green and full of curiosity, the priest of Woking took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "You people here are really too enthusiastic."

"Hahahaha! They are all inventors with a greater curiosity than ordinary people. They are also the most valuable assets of Lantan Island. But don't worry, I have warned everyone not to mess around."

The representative sent by the Gund Church couldn't help but burst into laughter.

It is easy to tell from the familiarity of the conversation that the two have obviously known each other for a long time.

In other words, since the goddess of wealth Waukin and the god of craftsmen Gunder have always been close allies, there has often been cooperation between the two churches.

After all, Gond's followers are good at inventing and creating, while Waukeen's followers are good at turning these creations into wealth. The relationship between the two sides is mutually beneficial.

Also closely related to the two gods is Shandakel, the god of travel and exploration.

The emergence of airships greatly accelerated the speed of population mobility, allowing civilians to travel to countries and cities hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away to experience the local scenery, customs, and culture.

This has expanded the influence of the God of Travel and Exploration to a certain extent.

Since this was the first time the route was opened, the isolated residents of Lantan Island were very interested in the specialties from the distant continent.

In less than two or three days, all the cargo on the airship was sold out.

The merchants in Amn used their profits and capital to frantically purchase all kinds of machinery.

Especially the large and small clocks that can be sold at high prices, as well as those complex locks, gears, winches, water pumps, automatic fans, and the catapult hooks that are loved by adventurers and Amn Shadow Thieves.

When it was time to take off, a high-ranking priest of Gond also followed, holding a beautiful palm-sized box, and embarked on the journey to Athkatra.

"What's in here?"

The Reverend Goddess of Wealth asked with interest.

"Gift. A thank-you gift from the Great God of Craftsmen to Lord Soth, a special tool made by him personally."

The priest of Gond replied with a proud look on his face.

"I see!"

The priest of Woking nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any further questions.

Because he knew that matters like this involving gods were not something he should inquire about.

The two spent several happy days together in the luxurious cabin on the upper deck of the airship.

After arriving at Askatra, the capital of Amn, the priest of Gond did not stay for a second and went straight to the Mage Tower to pay a visit.

Since Zuo Si had been staying in the Mage Tower for the past two days, paying close attention to the development of the situation, he appeared in the reception room to meet the other party in about a few minutes.

"It's an honor to meet you, Lord Soth."

The priest of Gond took the lead, placing one hand on his chest and bowing slightly.

Zuo Si returned the greeting with a smile: "I am also very happy to meet you, servant of the God of Craftsmen. I wonder if you have any important business that brought you all the way from Lantan Island?"

"The great Gond sent down an oracle and commanded me to give you a gift."

As he spoke, the priest picked up the exquisite box with both hands and placed it on the table.

It is easy to tell from the sound it makes when it collides that this thing is made of wood.

It looks to be about the size of an adult male's palm, square in shape, and weighs at least half a kilogram.

"A gift? For me?"

Zuo Si stared at the box with a surprised expression.

The pastor nodded slightly: "Yes.

The great Gund also asked me to convey that he looks forward to meeting you in the Hall of Mystery in Baldur's Gate in the near future.

Oh, by the way, here is also a letter from the Lantan Island Inventors Association.

Many people are impressed by the airship you built, so they would like to invite you to the academy in Sandra City for academic and technical exchanges. "

Looking at the two things on the table, Zuo Si couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "Okay, I think I understand what's going on.

First of all, I would like to thank the great god of craftsmen for his generous gift. I will accept this gift.

However, as for academic exchanges, I am afraid I cannot spare the time for the time being.

Moreover, this super-large means of transportation, such as airships, is not simply a product of technology, but is integrated with a lot of magical powers that are difficult to explain.

So even if we communicate, there will be no result, so please decline it for me."

"Really? That's a shame."

The disappointment was evident on the face of the Gond priest.

He didn't stay for long. After drinking a cup of tea, he quickly got up and said goodbye.

After the other party left the Mage Tower and walked away completely, Zuo Si opened the sealed lid of the box and saw two silver metal spheres lying in the center of the silk decoration.

However, unlike those spheres with smooth surfaces, these two balls are formed by densely packed and very fine silk threads rolled together.

Moreover, the metal wire seemed to have life, constantly performing some irregular movements.

Out of curiosity, Zuo Si picked up one of them.

moment!

A great deal of knowledge about how to use this ball of wire enters the brain.

The next second...

Under his control, the metal wire unfolded rapidly and formed the shape of a large-caliber revolver at an incredible speed.

Six wire bullets are loaded directly into the cylinder.

Without any hesitation!

Zuo Si picked it up and aimed it at the wall not far away that was protected by a lot of magic and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Along with the loud noises and the flying flames and stone chips, six very obvious bullet holes appeared on the wall of the Mage Tower.

However, the bullet that was supposed to be embedded inside disappeared without a trace.

"Is it equivalent to a +5 long-range shooting weapon? Interesting!"

After briefly checking the gap in the wall, Zuo Si showed an interested expression on his face.

Then he picked up another metal ball and went to the next room which was specially used to test high-powered shaping magic. He first changed it into the shape of shotguns, rifles, grenade launchers and other hot weapons to test its power.

It can even combine two spheres into one to form anti-material sniper rifles, rocket launchers, mortars and other heavy firepower.

Of course, in addition to weapons, these two spheres made of metal wire can also be constructed into various cold weapons, tools, and some extremely precise components.

Anyway, as long as the total volume does not exceed the maximum limit of two balls of metal wire and the user knows the structure and principle of the item, then there will be no problem at all.

Moreover, the part that is turned into bullets or shells and fired out will return instantly after completing the attack.

In other words, if used as a firearm, it is equivalent to having infinite bullets with an enchantment level of +5.

The name of these two balls of metal wire is "Extreme Craftsmanship". They are special artifacts created by Gond using the three priesthoods of craftsmanship, skills and forging.

Just like the name, it is not just a weapon, but a tool. It uses special magical metals strengthened by divine power as materials. It can construct almost anything, even human organs and even a complete brain.

The upper limit is proportional to the knowledge, technology and creativity of the user.

In a sense, this is the "perfect material" that countless scientists on Earth dream of, whose physical and chemical properties can be adjusted according to needs.

After figuring out the real purpose of the two balls of metal wire, Zuo Si was like a child who suddenly got a new toy. He hid in the room and kept trying various things.

After several hours, he finally stopped and looked at the Chaos Hound Kozef sealed in different containers in the laboratory. He said with a slightly admiring tone: "You are worthy of being the God of Craftsmen. You can actually create such a magical substance.

You know what? I was just having a headache about how to use you better and more safely.

But now, an idea suddenly occurred to me."

"Don't waste your energy! It's useless! No matter what method you use, you can't really kill me!

It is even more impossible to control me forever!

One day I will escape!"

Kozef controlled his mouth sealed in the jar and roared harshly.

Since the seals on the various parts of the body are relatively close, it can now be manipulated slightly by induction.

But if you want to break the seal, that's just wishful thinking.

"Haha, don't be so confident. Don't forget that you were tied to the Noisy Tunnel by the ropes made by Gond and couldn't move."

As he spoke, Zuo Si took out the chain that was also made by Gunde, strengthened by the Goddess of Magic, and used to bind Xirik.

The moment it saw this thing, the eyes of the Chaos Hound in another transparent jar finally revealed a strong fear.

There is no doubt that if this thing can lock up a god, it can naturally lock it up as well.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Si took out another thing that scared Kozef, which was the Dog-killing Sword.

"You...what exactly do you want to do?" the Chaos Hound asked nervously.

"It's simple! I'm going to use the Hound-Slaying Sword to make a little cut into your brain and soul.

Then I use these wires to patch and rebuild a brain that is 100% obedient to me.

Finally, use the chain to make a collar with strong binding force just in case.

In this way, you can turn your rebellious dog into an obedient puppy.

How about it, my idea is good, right? "

As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si picked up the dog-killing sword and opened the container containing the brain.

The moment the sharp blade pierced the cortex, Kozef's soul instantly felt an intense pain that could not be described in words, and let out a creepy howl.

"Ahhhhhh! No! Stop! Stop now! You damn lunatic!"

"Okay, don't scream so loudly, you'll scare the students in class. It's just a little pain, just bear with it and it will pass. Don't worry, I'm very quick and it will be over in a few days at most."

As Zuo Si spoke, he quickened his hands' speed.

Through repeated attempts, they soon found the location in the ancient evil creature's brain that was responsible for thinking.

Since the Chaos Barghests have nearly unlimited regenerative abilities, he doesn't need to worry about accidentally cutting the wrong spot and causing Kozef to be paralyzed or die instantly.

Moreover, relying on his powerful attainments in necromancy magic, Zuo Si also figured out the structure and working principles of his brain cell organization in a very short time.

Finally, all the brain tissue related to thoughts and consciousness was stripped out and sealed separately, and the missing parts were reconstructed using a metal ball.

This step alone took several days.

After completing all the preliminary preparations, Zuo Si unlocked the seal on his head and stuffed the modified brain into the skull.

After confirming that there was no problem, he began to concentrate on making a chain for restraint, and put it directly on the Chaos Hound's neck in the form of a collar.

The next step is to remove the seals on the body, limbs, tail, etc...

When Kozef was almost completely released, Zuo Si used the Dog-killing Sword to reduce its terrifying magic resistance to the lowest level. He used dozens of wishes and the powerful Nine-ring Transformation Magic to transform it from a grotesque, vicious, huge mastiff with red eyes and a rat tail into a cute black and white puppy.

Of course, this is just a change in appearance; its essence and capabilities remain unchanged.

"Get down!"

"Get down!"

"shake hands!"

"Roll around!"

"Well - so good!"

"Come on, turn around again!"

…

Zuo Si had a smile full of evil humor on his face as he tested this freshly-baked Chaos Dog Demon.

It is not difficult to tell from the password that he did not regard it as a powerful, terrifying, and creepy ancient evil creature, but as his own pet.

This action undoubtedly made Kozef a little crazy.

It’s a pity that this vicious dog now has part of its brain, consciousness and soul sealed up, and can’t do anything at all.

All he could do was watch helplessly as the body that should have belonged to him fawned upon its master like a real dog under the control of a brain made of metal wires.

"Ancient evil? An immortal monster that can't be killed? A chaos dog demon that even the gods fear? Hahahaha!"

Zuo Si let out a burst of unbridled laughter, while rubbing the head of the little puppy in front of him frantically with his hands.

There is no doubt that successfully controlling and enslaving this powerful ancient evil creature filled his heart with an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

Just as Zuo Si was teasing the soulless puppy, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and rushed over to give him a warm hug. Their cheeks were pressed tightly together, rubbing, kissing and sniffing his body wildly, her whole body trembling slightly due to excessive excitement and excitement.

"Isadora? You merged your three split personalities back together!"

Zuo Si asked in an uncertain tone.

Because such bold and intimate actions would have been impossible for the previous three personalities.

即便是最淘气的小魔女，充其量也只是以诱惑为主。

“嗯！

除了已经成为主脑的那个绝对理智、冷静的人格，我现在又重新变得完整了。

而且没有了理智和冷静地束缚，我也变得更加热情大胆。

怎么样，你喜欢现在这种像一团熊熊燃烧火焰的我吗？”

伊莎多拉抬微微起头，脸上挂着极致愉悦的潮红，整个人就如同一朵正在绽放的玫瑰，散发着与之前截然不同的惊人魅力。

尤其是那无意识之中散发出来的心灵异能，会无时无刻对周围的生物造成影响。

毫无疑问，如果说这个已经快要彻底成熟的少女以前是绝对中立阵营，那么现在就应该是混乱中立阵营。

尤其是那种强烈的个人主义色彩，以及无拘无束想干什么就干什么的性格，已经从见面后的短短几秒钟时间中展露无疑。

“无论变成什么样子，在我的心里都永远有一个独属于你的位置。”

左思抬起手拂过女孩的眉梢、眼角、脸颊，最后将手指按在嘴唇上。

“但对于我而言，你就是生命中所有的一切！”

伊莎多顿时浮现出十分感动的表情，紧跟着张开嘴咬住指尖，眼睛里闪烁着如同水一样温柔深情的光芒，似乎在发出某种邀请。

不过还没等她来得及做下一步的动作，就听到门外传来一阵急促的脚步声。

紧跟着魔裔精灵刺客菲德直接闯了进来，用惊慌失措的声音大喊道：“不好了！就在不久之前，影贼公会总部那边突然爆发火并。虽然雷诺尔·血头及时封锁了现场，但据说死了不少……”

话刚刚说到一半，她这才注意到坐在椅子上的左思，以及几乎是挂在后者身上的伊莎多拉，还有两人那令人浮想联翩的暧昧动作，整个人顿时愣住了。

屋内的气氛更是一度变得十分尴尬。

左思甚至能够感觉到怀中的伊莎多拉正在酝酿着骇人的杀气，打算直接把这个搅黄了自己“好事”的闯入者直接抹掉意识，变成一个连生活都不能自理的废人。

“呃——我好像来的不太是时候？”

回过神来的菲德下意识打了个哆嗦，眼神中透露出强烈的畏惧。

作为一名王牌刺客，她对于杀意的感知可是非常敏锐的。

尤其是像伊莎多拉这种拥有强大心灵异能的施法者，当内心之中对某个人产生恶意的时候，往往会形成一种精神上的压迫。

别说是敏锐的刺客，就连比较迟钝的普通人都能察觉到。

“索斯！我可以对她做点什么吗？”

伊莎多拉用无比冰冷且充满寒意的语气问道。

几乎与此同时，她释放出来的心灵力量迅速涌向魔裔精灵刺客，导致后者像是看到了什么恐怖的画面一样汗出如浆，紧跟着迅速蹲在地上蜷缩成一团瑟瑟发抖。

毫无疑问，菲德没能顶住刹那之间的心灵入侵，最终陷入了一种可怕的幻觉。

左思见状立刻用力拍了一下少女的屁股，用半开玩笑的语气制止道：“别闹了。

你应该知道她是我的人，而且还是来汇报突发情况的。

还有，你特地从浮空城那边赶过来，该不会就是为了告诉我，你已经把三个人格重新融合到一起吧？”

臀部突然被狠狠拍打的伊莎多拉先是下意识发出了一声尖叫，随即态度便立刻软化下来，主动献上一个吻，然后俏皮的眨着眼睛说道：“当然不是。

瓦内萨让我来通知你，他已经差不多可以确认另外几座浮空城的位置了。

不过问题是，这些由高阶亡灵施法者控制的浮空城，似乎已经缔结了联盟。

也就是说，如果我们主动发起进攻，可能要一次性面对好几座浮空城。”

“无所谓。关于剩下几座浮空城，稍后我会派穆塔哈尔浮空城负责去处理，你们就暂时不要管了。”

左思不以为意的耸了耸肩膀。

如果换成以前，他或许还会为控制浮空城的海量不死生物感到头疼。

但是现在，有了烁油以后，对方基本就跟送上门来的免费兵源一样。

只要等日记本带着烁油挨个走一趟，用不了多久这些浮空城便都会成为左思的所有物。

“你确定？我记得其中有一座浮空城里，应该有你一直想要得到的创造者职业全部信息吧？”伊莎多拉瞪大眼睛十分惊讶的追问道。

左思笑着回答：“别担心，那些知识应该都被存放在中央高塔的图书管理里，不会被轻易损坏的。

而且我现在有了更好的方法，没必要浪费那么多的物资去发动一场战争来达成目的。

记住，武力这种东西永远都是最后的选项。

如果你太过于依赖它，那么不仅会成为众矢之的树立许多不必要的敌人，同时还有可能陷入可怕的危机。

要知道我对你的期待可是很高的。

答应我要做个聪明、听话的女孩，好吗？ 假如你表现的足够好，我可以为你准备一个火花，让你也成为跟我一样的旅法师。”

“当然！只要是你的愿望，我都会竭尽所能的去实现。”

伊莎多拉捧起左思的右手深情亲吻，然后放在自己柔软的胸口，让其感受心脏猛烈的跳动。

“真乖！只要你在这段时间没有闹出什么幺蛾子，等下次见面的时候我会给你非常非常特别的奖励。”

说着，左思轻轻挪动右手往下滑，最终停留在了少女平坦的小腹上。

伊莎多拉几乎在一瞬间就明白了其中的意思，整个脸顿时变得通红，眼神中更是充满了喜悦与期待，信誓旦旦的保证道：“我发誓！在这段时间里绝对会乖乖的什么都不做，就等着你兑现今天的承诺。”

“棒极了！现在去忙你的吧，我在这个世界还有很多事情要忙呢。”

说罢，左思捏着女孩的下巴亲吻了一下对方的嘴唇，随后把这个意犹未尽、一步三回头的问题少女赶出房间。

当后者穿过传送门返回浮空城之后，他这才走到魔裔精灵刺客的身边，抬起手打了个响指。

啪！ 伴随着清脆的响声回荡在周围，菲德这才猛然间从环境中惊醒，以极快的动作擦了擦脸上的鼻涕和泪水，惊恐万分的问：“发……发生了什么？我为什么会突然回到过去！”

“不，你不是回到过去。

而是被心灵异能入侵意识，然后困在了过去的记忆中。

不过我很好奇，你的童年究竟经历了多么悲惨的事情，竟然会哭的如此伤心。

这可跟你平日里表现出来的坚强和勇敢截然不同。”

左思饶有兴致的盯着对方那双一直试图逃避的眼睛。

但菲德显然不想回答这些，立马转移话题道：“心灵异能？ 该死！

刚才那个骑在你身上的人类女孩竟然是个危险的心灵术士？ 她是谁？ 你的情人吗？ 我之前怎么没有在法师塔内见过她？”

“怎么，你想要认识伊莎多拉吗？”

左思显然看出了魔裔精灵刺客的小心思，似笑非笑的反问。

他并没有急不可耐的使用魔法力量读取对方思维或是记忆，试图搞清楚其童年都发生过什么。

毕竟那样做实在是太无趣了。

除了夺心魔和杰斯·贝连这种喜欢依仗天赋肆意妄为的家伙，大部分擅长魅惑和心灵魔法的人都更喜欢通过诱导的方式，让目标自己说出内心之中的秘密。

“伊莎多拉？”

菲德下意识皱起眉头，但很快便惊呼道：“啊！我想起来了！她是伯纳德的妹妹，我两年前曾经见过几次。”

“不错的记忆力。不过你要注意，现在的伊莎多拉跟以前的伊莎多拉可是两个截然不同的人。”左思意味深长的提醒道。

“什么意思？”

菲德不明所以的眨了眨眼睛。

左思摸着下巴解释道：“伊莎多拉的精神状态异于常人，且没有一个固定的人格。

她趁着我不在的时候，偷偷克隆了无数个自己。

然后再把大脑之中那些人格碎片剥离出来塞入克隆体中，通过相互吞噬、进化、成长来强化自己的力量。

你刚才所看到的那个伊莎多拉，是经过至少几十次的吞噬与融合，最终凝聚而成的新人格，与之前那个几乎没有任何相似之处。

这也是为什么，她能在如此年纪就获得堪比夺心魔主脑一样强大的魔法与心灵能力。”

“噢——我的天呐！这姑娘可真够疯的！不过更我让感到不可思议的是，你居然能搞得定她？”

After learning the truth, Fed's mouth twitched and he complained wildly.

“Because all of Isadora’s personalities like me and are attached to me, thinking that I am the only one of her kind in the world.

Even if one day I had the urge to kill her.

She would also kneel in front of him with joy and wait for death to come.

There will absolutely not be the slightest resistance.

Because compared to death, Isadora is more afraid of being abandoned by me."

Zuo Si explained the relationship between himself and Isadora in very concise language.

This is also why he answered just now. No matter what the girl becomes, he will always keep a place for her in his heart.

Zuo Si was obviously very clear that the only person in this world who would never betray him, apart from the various creatures and followers made into cards, might be Isadora.

Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, might be considered half of it.

The rest all have some interest factors to a greater or lesser extent.

As for Hermione, she obviously has a strong sense of independence and self-awareness. Perhaps in the future they will slowly develop to the stage where they can trust each other, but for now they can only be considered a relatively close boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Thinking of this, Zuo Si suddenly remembered that he hadn't visited the magical earth for a long time.

"Unbelievable! Her feelings for you are so twisted and sick!"

Fed couldn't help but shiver, obviously frightened by Isadora's madness.

But Zuo Si shrugged and responded, "You are right, this is very twisted and sick, so I will try my best to treat her better within the allowed scope, so that she can also feel happiness from it, instead of only pain and torture."

"It sounds like... you're still a good person?"

Fed's facial features were instantly twisted together, and his tone revealed strong doubt.

Needless to say, in her impression, a guy like Zuo Si, who could frighten the Shadow Thieves, the Guild of Masked Mages, and the Council of Amn, was obviously an out-and-out "bad guy".

“Hahaha! Don’t make that face. I never said I’m a good person.”

Zuo Si was obviously amused by the reaction of the demon elf assassin, and then he pursed his lips and explained: "Let's try to think from their perspective.

If there is a handsome, cool, smart and talented young man who suddenly expresses his crazy love to you.

And express your willingness to do anything for you, even sacrifice your life.

How would you react?"

"Well... I think I'll probably give him a chance."

After pondering for a moment, Fed gave an answer with an obviously lack of confidence.

After all, lust is not exclusive to men, women are no worse in this regard.

Just look at the number of places in the city of Athkatla that provide services specifically for women, as well as the noble ladies, businesswomen, female adventurers, and female mercenaries who frequently come in and out, and you will know that their needs in this regard are even greater than those of men.

“See, that’s the thing.

Whether it is a man or a woman, as long as his or her sexual orientation is normal, he or she will often be particularly tolerant when faced with the active pursuit of beautiful people of the opposite sex.

Even if you know that the other person's emotions are distorted or abnormal, you usually won't say bad things to them.

But if it were an ugly person, the situation would be completely opposite.

This is determined by the body's instinct to reproduce.

So most of my feelings for Isadora come from this.

Coupled with the close relationship developed from long-term interactions, the current situation was eventually formed.

Although I get angry sometimes about her crazy actions, I always choose to forgive her as long as they don’t cross my bottom line.”

While saying this, Zuo Si inadvertently displayed a maturity and rationality that was extremely inconsistent with his apparent age.

"Okay, I think I understand what you mean."

Fed nodded thoughtfully, and kept glancing at his new master out of the corner of his eye.

"By the way, what did you say about the fight that broke out at the Shadow Thieves Guild headquarters?"

Zuo Si decisively ended the previous topic and suddenly asked.

"Damn it! I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me!

I heard that it was Maiwa who brought a group of men hired from somewhere and launched a surprise attack in the last time before dawn.

At that time, many leaders of subordinate guilds who were still loyal to the headquarters were holding a meeting.

As a result, they were wiped out by the other party.

At least seven guild leaders and their deputies died, along with a large number of their entourages, bodyguards and thugs.

Reinol Bloodhead was completely furious and vowed to catch all the murderers and cut them into pieces.

He offered a reward of more than 100,000 gold coins.

Now, adventurers, bounty hunters, and mercenaries from all over Athkatla are taking action to make this money."

Fed quickly revealed all the information he knew.

Since Zuo Si had previously acquired several taverns, inns and other service places in the city, and also sent shapeshifters to infiltrate them, he had his own intelligence network.

Whenever something strange happens, all kinds of rumors and news will quickly spread back.

In the past, these were collected and organized by the little devil who was a magical pet.

But now he has been promoted to a Pit Hell Fiend and has gone to Sembia to keep an eye on the food war.

Feide was obviously very interested in these, so Zuo Si just left the job to him.

"Since it has been confirmed that Maiwa is the mastermind, why doesn't Renoir Bloodhead launch a direct counterattack, but instead uses this roundabout method?" Zuo Si asked casually.

“Because Renoir Bloodhead has suffered huge losses, he doesn’t dare to fight head-on.

He needed time to gather men and wait for reinforcements.

Moreover, there are clear regulations within the Shadow Thieves that the headquarters cannot arbitrarily launch a purge of subordinate guilds before obtaining solid evidence of betrayal.

I think now is the time to make contact with the red wizard named Edwin.

Otherwise, if he dies in this turmoil, we will lose the most crucial clue."

Feder analyzed with a serious face.

She obviously had not forgotten to take revenge on her previous employer and benefactor, Alan Linville.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you and go meet the red-robed wizard Edwin."

Zuo Si stood up from the chair and shook off the clothes that were wrinkled by Isadora.

Kozef, transformed into a puppy, followed his master closely like a pet.

Soon, the two men and the dog left the Mage Tower through the secret door in the sewer and headed straight for the Bronze Crown Inn in the slums.

Almost at the same time, an underground guild war began in the streets and alleys of Athkatla.

A large number of thieves, assassins and thugs belonging to different camps are fighting each other in places that ordinary people cannot see.

Every ten minutes or half an hour, a few masked bodies would be found in dark alleys or rivers...
