But there may be other gods or quasi-divine powers.

After all, in the original plot, the sons of Bhaal fought and killed each other, and even started a war that affected the surrounding areas. The reason why gods and other forces did not intervene was mainly because they were afraid of Cyric's power.

While Aberdare was adventuring around the Sword Coast, the Prince of Lies was in a state of madness.

The gods were busy cleaning up the mess this guy had made, so naturally they had no mood to pay attention to the "little noise" made by a group of gods' sons in the material world.

Later, when Xirik regained consciousness, he found that the Son of Bhaal's chicken-eating contest had entered the final stage of the decisive battle.

In addition, when he fell into madness, he offended almost all the gods in the world of Toril, so they did not dare to intervene easily, otherwise they would inevitably be beaten up.

So, I could only watch it all come to an end.

In the end, the war for the right to inherit the Blood Throne ended miraculously without the intervention of any powerful external forces.

Although the Zhentarim, the Harper League and some other organizations also more or less want to use the Sons of Bhaal to achieve their own ulterior motives.

But compared with the powerful gods who possess decisive power, they are basically just a supporting role.

Especially in the later stages of development, the divinity and power of the most powerful Sons of Baal had accumulated to an astonishing level.

Even a legendary spellcaster and chosen one like Elminster cannot guarantee a 100% victory.

But now, as the Prince of Lies Xirik has been pulled down from the throne of powerful divine power by a series of operations by Zuo Si, he has now fallen to a weak divine power.

After a while, he might even fall to the level of a demigod with weak divine power.

Therefore, he no longer has any deterrent power.

This means that any god who has ideas about Baal may choose to intervene or interfere.

For example, there is the beast goddess Mara, the goddess of the night Shar who is always hiding in the dark and doing things, or the god of thieves Mask who is very interested in the priesthood of killing and death.

In short, there are quite a lot of gods who have reasons and motivations to get involved.

In addition, there is a high probability that the gods of the good camp will do something to ensure that the bloodthirsty, cruel and bloodthirsty Baal will not be resurrected like the god of tyranny Bane.

It would be even better if we could find a less evil heir to the vacant Blood Throne.

Zuo Si even seriously suspected that many gods had already selected agents among the Sons of Baal and planned to intervene decisively when necessary.

So he now also needs to cultivate his own agents.

Sancho is obviously a good choice.

In addition, Imoen, who is still ignorant and has not yet awakened, is also a potential choice.

Zuo Si believed that given their current relationship, as long as he asked, Ai Meng would definitely agree without hesitation given her personality.

As for Aberdare, whose brain was probably no bigger than a walnut and was filled with lust, greed and bloodthirsty impulses, he had no intention of cooperating with him from beginning to end.

At best, it can be used as a chess piece.

Just like that, in the following time, Zuo Si began to gradually control the entire power of Athkatla, recruit and train the army, and replace the previous law enforcers who had long been completely corrupt with soldiers wearing fully enclosed helmets with Shuoyou mobile terminals, bringing unprecedented order and fairness to the city.

Even the prosecutors and judges who were involved in countless interests were all fired and replaced by a group of professional bureaucrats transferred from Luskan.

Although many large families and chambers of commerce feel very uncomfortable with not being able to achieve their ulterior motives through bribery.

But under the strong pressure of the council headed by Vera, they were finally forced to accept this change.

After all, there is not much difference in essence between no one being able to bribe and everyone being able to bribe.

You have to know that things like bribery and money-for-power transactions also require huge costs.

And when one person starts playing this way, others will follow suit, eventually forming a terrible chain of suspicion.

Everyone is afraid that the other party will use the political resources at hand to suppress themselves, and the only way to check and balance is to continuously invest more money to increase political influence.

Now this kind of vicious competitive game has been banned at the root.

Merchants and nobles could save the money previously used for bribery as profit, or invest it in publicity, expanding production scale and improving product quality, thereby maintaining their strong competitiveness.

Not only that!

Zuo Si began to carry out drastic reforms on Amn's laws, government structure and social form, strengthening centralization, weakening the family power in major cities, and forcing them to hand over the political and military power they had seized in exchange for not being liquidated in the future.

He even issued a stern warning to the Shadow Thieves Guild, which was caught up in internal strife, demanding that Renoir Bloodhead and Maiwa not affect the lives of ordinary citizens, otherwise he would personally step in and crush them like stink bugs.

Anyone who is not blind can feel that this business empire ruled by a few oligarchs is changing at an unimaginable speed.

The power of the major families and chambers of commerce is gradually declining, and they are being replaced by an efficient, clean, strong and unified government.

Since there were hundreds of social science experts from the magical Earth in the floating city providing plans and reference opinions, what Zuo Si did was not just arbitrary and unrealistic.

On the contrary, every step he takes is supported by a large amount of feedback data.

The group responsible for collecting the data was none other than the Masked Mages Guild, which had already been actually annexed and controlled.

These guys had long ago built a huge magic perception barrier covering the entire Athkatla, so doing this kind of work wouldn't be much of an effort.

In addition to Zuo Si's notorious reputation, anyone who knew the inside story would not be stupid enough to jump out and oppose it.

Even if there are one or two fools who are short-sighted, they will soon be tormented by various methods until their families are broken up and their wives and children are separated.

After all, if you look closely at these nobles and businessmen, none of them have a clean bottom.

Therefore, even if only judicial means within the rules are used, it is easy to make the other party suffer a fate worse than death.

Now, the people of Askatra and even the entire Amn are concerned about one thing, that is, when will Zuo Si announce the abolition of the parliament and officially ascend the throne to become the supreme ruler of this country.

There are so many clear and unambiguous political signals that even the most obtuse person knows what is going to happen next.

However, unlike the nervous reaction of the upper class, the common people at the bottom were obviously very welcoming of this, and could even be said to be looking forward to it very much.

Especially from the series of actions taken by Zuo Si after he came to power, they were the most direct beneficiaries.

Moreover, in a dangerous place like Faerun, a strong ruler can deter the enemy to the greatest extent and bring long-term peace and stability to the country.

In this regard, Silvermoon City and Alustriel of the Silvermoon Alliance are living examples.

However, Zuo Si was obviously not in a hurry and was still advancing his plan in an orderly manner. He would take time to check Sancho's learning progress every few days and teach the boy how to properly stimulate and use the divine power in his body, rather than just treating it as a spell-like ability.

Needless to say, he was waiting for news from Baldur's Gate and Sarevok's actions.

But this calm before the coming storm was soon broken by a bombshell news.

Fuzor Chamberlain and his army from Zhentil Castle advanced rapidly, and many towns along the way even surrendered. They pushed through the green plains effortlessly, but suffered a defeat on the other side of the Chongsa River.

The Caravan City, Sknubel, and the City of Order, Eltoril, have united together.

The ruler of the former, the Red Shield Guild, spent a lot of money to hire adventurers and mercenaries, while the leader of the latter, Delt, provided hundreds of rigorously trained knights.

They ambushed in the bushes on the north bank of the river in advance, and when the Zhentil Castle army tried to cross the river, they suddenly launched an attack, causing unimaginable casualties in an instant.

The troops who had just landed and had not yet gained a foothold were defeated by Eltorel's "Hell Knights" in just a few minutes.

Delt, who has a high level of LV17 Paladin profession, rushed to the front and killed several dark guards of the Bane Church who were in charge of commanding the army.

The church of Heim, the guardian god, also gave its full support to this operation.

The prepared ones attack the unprepared ones, and the attack is made when the enemy is halfway across the river. The result is predictable.

当登陆部队被完全冲散、杀死、四散奔逃之后，那些手持硬弓强弩的佣兵跟冒险者迅速占据河岸，开始对水面上划着小木筏渡河的敌人展开了疯狂打击。

一些法师术士更是毫不客气的丢出火球术、闪电术、臭云术、油腻术、蛛网术等大范围杀伤和控制性法术。

没过一会儿功夫，水面上便漂浮起了无数的尸体。

其中有些是被当场杀死的，但还有更多是从木筏上掉下去，被湍急的水流吞没活活淹死的。

尤其是那些身穿沉重铠甲的倒霉蛋，一旦落水连展现自己游泳技巧的机会都没有，分分钟便会沉下去。

随后还有三条不知道从什么地方冒出来的金属龙也加入屠杀行列，导致混乱迅速蔓延最终形成了大溃败。

等还在后方的行军的傅佐尔·钱伯瑞赶到时，他手下的怪物大军已经损失了整整五千人。

最重要的是，军队的士气受到了自出征以来最严重的一次打击。

无奈之下，他只能下令在冲萨河以南暂时扎营，与对岸的联军隔河对峙。

艾尔托瑞尔城就像一颗钉子，依托地形优势阻挡了傅佐尔·钱伯瑞占领这片地区最后几座独立城镇的野心。

看着这份通过散塔林会黑暗情报网送来的详细记录，左思立刻摸着下巴浮现出了玩味的笑容，意味深长的说道：“来自善良阵营的反击终于开始了吗？”

“您知道傅佐尔·钱伯瑞会吃败仗？”

亲自前来送消息的克拉丽斯吃惊的瞪大了眼睛。

作为散塔林会在安姆的最高负责人，她可是非常清楚月之海暴君手下的怪物大军实力有多么强悍。

瞅一眼地图就知道，从在巨龙海岸的西门登陆之后，这支军队攻陷了沿途超过十二个大型城镇，连一个能挡住三天的都没有。

大部分在进攻开始一小时左右，守军就支撑不住迅速崩溃了。

在许多人的眼中，除非博德之门出动训练有素的焰拳佣兵，否则傅佐尔·钱伯瑞绝对能一口气横扫西哈特兰德地区。

也正因为如此，所以在得知他吃了败仗之后，不光散提尔堡和散塔林会内部吃了一惊，其他势力也都惊掉了下巴。

左思摸着下巴饶有兴致的说道：“我当然知道。

因为在我们生活的这个世界，善良与邪恶、秩序与混乱永远都保持着某种动态平衡。

你以为那些被傅佐尔·钱伯瑞攻陷的城镇，就只有表面看上去那点实力吗？ 不！ 在你看不到的地方，还有被隐藏起来的力量。

比如说一条生活在该城镇里伪装成人类、精灵或是其他类人种族的善良金属龙，再比如说拥有很强实力的退休冒险者。

这些隐藏起来的力量在看到散提尔堡来势汹汹的大军后，并没有选择站出来做毫无意义的抵抗，然后被围攻致死。

他们选择了先保全自己，然后再暗中伺机而动，寻找把入侵者赶出去的机会。

傅佐尔·钱伯瑞攻陷占领的城镇越多，这些看不见的力量就越容易聚集到一起。

当他们认为自己已经足够强大时，就会联合起来发动反攻。

不然你以为在长达数万年的文明发展与演变过程中，不论是善良阵营还是邪恶阵营，为何都无法彻底击败对方牢牢掌握主导权？”

听到这番话，克拉丽斯顿时感觉直冒冷汗，小心翼翼的试探道：“那您觉得现如今这种状况应该怎么办？ 继续维持现状等待博德之门那边派出援军？

还是想办法将这股反抗力量消灭在萌芽之中？ 又或者您有什么其他的安排？”

左思不耐烦的摆了摆手：“交给傅佐尔·钱伯瑞自己处理就行了。

如果他连这种小事都搞不定，那就不配继续当暴政之神班恩的选民，更不配领导散塔林会和散提尔堡。

最重要的是，我已经给了他充足的帮助。

一个人有野心没什么。

但假如其能力不足以支撑起野心，那这个人总有一天会走向自我毁灭。

很不幸，傅佐尔·钱伯瑞现如今就走在这一条道路上。

我不确定他什么时候会被自己无穷无尽的野心所吞噬。

但有一点可以确定，就是这种微乎其微的失败还不足以击垮他。

毕竟持有暴君节杖的他，可以随时随地招募怪物甚至是邪恶巨龙加入自己的军团。”

就在最后一个字脱口而出的刹那，一个黑影突然凭空出现在克拉丽斯的身后，并用十分轻佻的动作贴在这位女法师的脖子与头发之间深吸了一口气。

“啊！蔷薇花的味道！带着一点危险和尖刺！我喜欢！”

瞬间！

克拉丽斯浑身上下的汗毛直接竖起，在强烈的应激反应作用下起了数不清的鸡皮疙瘩，赶忙紧张的连连后退，厉声质问：“你……你什么鬼东西？”

“呵呵，我在你的眼睛里看到了恐惧。其实这完全没有必要！因为对于女性，尤其是足够漂亮且有个性的女性，通常情况下都是很宽容的。”

说着，黑影缓缓呈现出自己与左思一模一样的相貌与身材。

不用问也知道，这家伙就是刚刚从另外一个世界赶回来的日记本。

作为一个彻底放飞自我、彻底不做人的无耻混蛋，他早就沉浸在无穷无尽欲望中无法自拔。

但凡见到个有点姿色的女人都会忍不住上前调戏一番，甚至是邀请对方做一些不可描述的亲密运动，同时无比享受这个过程。

“索……索斯阁下！这是怎么回事？”

看清楚对方长相的克拉丽斯明显有点慌张，立刻向左思投以求助的眼神。

“别害怕，他并没有什么恶意，只是单纯的好色而已。你先回去吧，如果我有什么事情会派人去通知你。”

左思扶着额头浮现出无奈的表情。

虽然他不知道日记本为啥突然从冰与火之歌世界折返，但肯定是比较重要的事情。

不然以这家伙的性格，怕是还在那边疯狂搜集美女，组建属于自己的庞大后宫团呢。

根据左思目前得到的准确信息，日记本已经转化了整整三百个女性吸血鬼、四百五十四个女性阴魂，后宫规模直逼四位数。

听说他还跟普兰提亚浮空城的生物科学家们，要了一些巨龙、精灵、恶魔和魔鬼的基因改造技术，打算通过魔法的力量直接转化目标种族，人为制造出一批符合自己审美的混血或纯血。

克拉丽斯显然不确定日记本究竟是个什么东西，带着强烈的警惕跟疑惑迅速转身离开法师塔。

她前脚刚走没几秒钟，后脚日记本就一脸遗憾的感叹道：“真是可耻的浪费。这么有姿色、气质和韵味的女人摆在眼前，你居然连一点想要啃上一口的意思都没有。”

左思没好气的翻了个白眼：“别告诉我你没认出刚才那个女人叫做克拉丽斯，曾经为曼松的手下。

她可是个不折不扣的危险分子，而且野心勃勃想要获得更多的力量跟权势。

如果我跟她真的发生了点什么，先不说伊莎多拉和塔洛娜会不会突然发狂，如何处理后续都是个麻烦事。

更可怕的是，要是她不小心怀上了我的子嗣，必然会引发一系列非常严重的后果。

还记得咱们老家有句话是怎么说的？

想要成大事者，首先得管好自己的裤腰带，别整天像条发情的公狗。”

“哈哈哈哈！我亲爱的主人，你别在这里指桑骂槐了。

毕竟我只是承载了你过去的记忆和一部分被压抑的情感、欲望。

另外，要成大事的是你而不是我。

因此我要做的就是执行你下达的命令，然后尽情地发泄欲望及时行乐。

至于那些复杂的勾心斗角和利害关系，是你需要考虑的事情，我最多在一旁提个醒。”

日记本毫不客气的从一旁魔法冰柜中拿出一罐快乐肥宅水，紧跟着大大咧咧一屁股坐在沙发上，翘起二郎腿咕咚咕咚的喝了起来。

不得不说，他这副死猪不怕开水烫的架势，顿时让左思嘴角不受控制的疯狂抽搐，足足过了一分钟才无奈的叹了口气：“唉——怕了你了。

有时候我真不知道咱们俩家究竟谁才是主人。

为什么我总是马不停蹄的忙前忙后，可你却能躲在后边享受生活。

对了，你大老远跑过来见我究竟是为了什么事情？ 该不会是那群玩家又惹出什么大乱子了吧？”

日记本赶忙摇了摇头：“不，玩家们的表现很好。

Although they were divided into several factions, they were still fighting each other for larger territories and more interests, but they perfectly consumed the power of the nobles who originally occupied the dominant position.

Nowadays, the powerful nobles and their family members in Westeros have suffered heavy casualties under the bombardment of line infantry and artillery, and some families have even died out.

The forces that were slower to react were gradually sidelined by the players, and were completely turned into puppets without real power.

In addition, while fighting, they did not forget to carry out reform and construction.

Subversive social reforms have now been achieved in many places.

Anyway, there is nothing they can't do, only you haven't thought of it.

But they all have one thing in common: they are all frantically utilizing the resources available to them to develop industrial technology.

Especially those related to transportation and war.

The group of players you paid the most attention to before have now built a steam locomotive that can be put into use.

I heard that there are plans to unite more players to build a railway artery that runs through the east, west, south and north.

The steampunk world you want will probably be realized in no time."

Zuo Si crossed his hands in front of his chest and digested the information for a while before looking up and asking, "Since everything is fine, what is the purpose of you coming here?"

"Because the first awakened player who can see through the virtual and the real appears among the players."

The diary gave the answer calmly.

moment!

Zuo Si's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked, "Has this matter not spread widely?"

The diary shook its head slightly: “No.

Don't worry.

With the mastermind Isadora watching, how could she give this guy the chance to tell other players?

The question now is what to do about it.

Should we just imprison the soul permanently, or should we have a private talk with him?"

"Tell me about this guy first."

Hearing that there was no spreading crisis, Zuo Si immediately felt relieved and began to ask about the specific details.

The diary shrugged and responded, “Actually, there’s not much to introduce.

The player's name was Kurt. He was 28 years old when he died. The cause of death was self-harm due to severe depression, and then excessive blood loss made rescue impossible.

He possesses an extremely high IQ, especially his memory, observation and analytical abilities, which are far beyond what ordinary people can understand.

Through long-term observation and continuous testing, this guy discovered that the Infinite City is actually a virtual world, and the place that players think is the game world is the real reality.

You know, although the main brain Isadora has received a lot of knowledge indoctrination, it is impossible for such a huge virtual world to be completely error-free.

Kurt discovered and found many details that are easy for ordinary people to overlook.

But before he could try to escape he was imprisoned.

But what’s interesting is that he was not afraid or nervous when he was trapped in the replica of Waterdeep’s illusion. Instead, he quietly observed everything around him.

I think his brain, especially his thinking pattern, may be different from that of normal people."

"In that case, let's go meet the first player who discovered the truth."

After saying that, Zuo Si stood up from his chair and quickly passed through the portal to the floating city on the other side.

Without alarming anyone, he went straight to the room where the brain pool of the conch shell ship was located.

Along the way, one can clearly see a large number of newly born mind flayers, as well as a vast number of people who are tirelessly building various mental devices.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of these guys transformed from goblins and werewolves will not exceed half a year.

Often after laying an egg, it will be quickly arranged to offer its brain at a certain sacred moment and merge with the great main brain to become a collective consciousness.

Of course, the above sentence is used by the mastermind to deceive the inner demon.

The truth is, the main brain only houses the consciousness of the first demon to complete the transformation.

The other mind flayers that donated their brains will soon become part of the former after being swallowed and fused.

Their memories, knowledge, and psychic powers will all be absorbed by the main brain.

This is why the longer a mastermind lives, the smarter and more powerful it tends to be.

But the problem is that Zuo Si is obviously not confident in letting the uncontrolled Mind Flayer live for too long, so he can only use quantity to make up for the lack of quality.

But fortunately, the main brain Isadora is connected to countless players, who will continuously transmit massive amounts of information back to it, allowing it to continue to learn, grow and evolve.

"Take me to see the player named Kurt."

Zuo Si stood in front of the brain pool and gave clear and concise instructions.

The next second...

The main brain Isadora extended two slender and sticky tentacles, gently pressed them on the temples, and slowly released amazing spiritual power.

In the blink of an eye, Zuo Si's consciousness left his body and plunged into the illusion of a replica of Waterdeep City.

Since this world is completely controlled by the main brain, he appears next to the target out of thin air.

Kurt, who was sitting at the bar and drinking quietly, was so frightened when he saw this that he almost dropped his glass. After calming down, he cautiously asked, "Who are you?"

"Hello, Mr. Kurt. My name is Soth, and I'm a little planeswalker."

Zuo Si stretched out his right hand with a smile.

"Uh... hello. Sorry, I never shake hands with anyone."

Kurt was visibly nervous and fidgeting.

It can be seen that he is very resistant to communicating with strangers in his heart and obviously has social phobia.

After realizing this, Zuo Si retracted his arm and said to himself in a leisurely tone: "I think you must be confused now, what exactly happened to you, right?"

"You know?"

Kurtmon took a sip of beer and licked his lips before asking back.

"Of course! Because everything you are going through was planned by me without exception.

Including the virtual fantasy we are in now.

In addition, I want to apologize to you first, and then return the deleted and missing part of your memory to you.

Now I believe you can understand what is going on."

After saying that, Zuo Si took out the memory backup stored by the main brain Isadora, raised his hand and gently tapped the other person's forehead.

Before this sloppy-looking man could react to what was happening, many images and sounds quickly emerged.

At the beginning, because it was too disorganized, he had a splitting headache.

But soon, the sounds and images became clearer and more organized.

About ten minutes later, when all memories were successfully received, Kurt got up from the ground, sweating all over, and said in a trembling voice: "So... I'm dead!

Did you take my soul to another world and then inject it into a new body through some unknown technology?

wrong!

Not just me!

The same is true for those who think they live in the future.

Are you a god or a devil?

Why do you want to do this? "

“Calm down.

I am neither a god nor a demon.

At least you should understand now that my actions actually gave you a second life, right?"

Zuo Si had a very friendly smile on his face, signaling the other party not to get too excited.

Kurt nodded without hesitation: “You’re right.

I have recalled that awful place of coldness, despair, and numbness that occurs after death, when the soul crosses over the veil.

To be honest, I would rather stay in this real fantasy for the rest of my life than stay there for even one more second.

But the question is, you are clearly trying to save our souls, so why do you use deceptive means?

Wouldn't it be better to just tell us the truth?"

Zuo Si chuckled and replied, "Because it is difficult to explain. Just explaining one magic principle may take several days, and not everyone can accept it.

Most importantly, I need players, including you, to believe that everything they are experiencing is just a game.

You can give full play to your imagination and boldly do things that you would never dare to do in the real world, without having to bear any moral burden.

Imagine if those people knew they were living in a real world, would they still have the courage to face enemies or monsters several times stronger than themselves? Would they dare to laugh out loud when facing fear and death?

Can you kill thousands of lives without feeling even the slightest bit of guilt?

The answer is obviously no.

That’s why I set up this mechanism to protect you and allow you to maximize your potential.”

Kurt nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense.

Viewing the real world as a game can indeed make people brave, bold and fearless.

But how is all this possible? You know, we really are immortal!

No matter how many times you die, even if your entire body is shattered, you can be resurrected again in a very short time.

Is this also the effect of some powerful magic?"

"Haha, no, of course not. Have you heard of cloning technology?

All I did was protect your soul after your physical body was destroyed and then put it into a brand new clone.

In fact, every player has at least two clones stored in the floating city that can be resurrected at any time.

This is the truth behind why players can be resurrected infinitely.

Of course, this cloning technology also takes some magical means.”

Zuo Si answered the question very patiently.

Since becoming the Lord of Hell, he has been able to see the qualities and shining points of mortal souls.

And this guy in front of me, who looks very sloppy, happens to be a person with extremely high spiritual quality.

"Human clone? Soul? I see! One last question, what are you going to do with me?"

The moment he asked this question, Kurt became obviously very nervous, and one could even see strong regret in his eyes.

Because he didn't want to be thrown back into the cold, empty, gray world of death, nor did he want his soul to be permanently imprisoned or destroyed.

"I can give you two choices."

Zuo Si raised his right hand and extended his index and middle fingers.

"First, return to Earth and wander in that terrible world of the dead until your memory and personality are completely annihilated and become part of the deep well of the soul.

Second, sign a soul contract that cannot be violated, and then I will use magic to completely resurrect you, and you will work for me wholeheartedly from now on.

As for erasing the memory and returning to the previous state, don't even think about it.

Given your personality and intelligence, even if you erase all memories related to today, you will still be unable to resist the urge to seek the truth once again.

It won't be long before we have a conversation like the one we had today again.

It won’t change anything except wasting time.”

"I choose the second one!"

Kurt barely gave it any thought.

Because he was smart enough to know that this was a choice concerning his future and destiny, and he had no bargaining chips at all.

“Are you sure?

You should know that working for me is not the ordinary job you imagine.

It may involve countless conspiracies, intrigues, and killings.

And there is a high probability that the person I am going to kill can be classified as a good person in your eyes."

When saying this, Zuo Si's tone became extremely serious and earnest.

"Of course! I'm very sure! The reason I chose to commit suicide before was mainly because I felt that the world was too boring and too hopeless, and there was no point in living.

At the same time, I also don’t understand what death means.

But now, not only do I understand the horror of death, I also live in a world full of interesting magic, monsters, and dragons.

So I thank you for bringing me here, and I am more than happy to help you.

As for things like good and evil, they are originally a subjective judgment, and stance is often the most important thing. "

After saying that, Kurt stood up and bowed with one hand on his chest, imitating the people in the replica Waterdeep.

"Since you are so aware, let's sign the agreement first. Isadora, take us back to reality."

Zuo Si loudly gave instructions to the mastermind.

In the blink of an eye, his consciousness returned to his body.

Almost at the same time, Kurt's soul was released from the enclosed space where it was originally stored. He was maintaining his spiritual state and looking around curiously.

Whether it was the busy mind flayers coming in and out, the tadpoles wandering in the brain pool, or the main brain that was so huge that it was unimaginable, they were constantly impacting his cognition.

"Come on, sign this contract first."

Zuo Si raised his hand and snapped his fingers, instantly creating a devil's contract out of thin air.

Kurt signed his name at the bottom without even looking at it.

When he saw the parchment scroll begin to burn violently, he asked curiously: "Where is this place? Why does it give people such a weird and terrifying feeling?"

"This is the brain pool. It is not only the storage place for all the players' souls, but also the core of the technology that transmits their consciousness into the body."

While he was speaking, Zuo Si had already taken out the [Bottle of Greed] card and asked the fire giant sealed inside to grant him a wish, and then used the wish to resurrect the man in front of him who had been dead for a long time.

Because the whole process was so fast, Kurt found himself in possession of his body again before he could react.

And it's not a clone, but my real original body.

He touched his face, beard, and slightly protruding belly, and exclaimed in a trembling voice: "This... this is resurrection? Resurrection from the dead! Are you really not a god?"

“No, it’s not.

In this world filled with supernatural forces, resurrection from the dead is not exclusive to gods.

Mortals can do the same.

From now on, all you have to do is follow Isadora to learn magical knowledge, and she will guide you on the path of becoming a wizard.

My dear, I leave this guy to you, train him well."

After saying this, Zuo Si turned around and left without looking back, leaving Kurt standing there in confusion.

But soon, a young woman's voice echoed throughout the room and even in the depths of my mind.

"Don't worry, Soth. I will train him to be what you need. If he can't do it, then I will transform him into what you need."

moment!

Kurt was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground and shouted in horror: "Who? Who is talking?"

"I'm right in front of you, can't you see it?"

Isadora suddenly stretched out two extremely thick tentacles from her brain pool and waved them in front of the other party.

"Oh--my goodness!"

Kurt slumped to the ground with a plop, completely in a daze.

Only then did he realize that the giant brain structure in front of him was actually a living, self-aware intelligent life.

And the voice was full of familiarity, almost exactly the same as the woman who was responsible for guiding players into the virtual world.

“You can call me Isadora or Mastermind.

From today on, I will be your teacher.

Remember, you must tap all your potential in the coming time and master arcane magic knowledge as quickly as possible.

If you fail to complete your daily study tasks, then I will force you to do so through my spiritual power.

If necessary, they will even perform brain modification on you.

Believe me, it's not a pleasant feeling, and the pain is almost the same as being cut into pieces."

The mastermind Isadora expressed her attitude bluntly.

"Can knowledge be instilled by force?"

Kurt's mouth opened in shock for a moment.

"Of course! Who do you think taught the players the language?

Considering that you have no foundation for learning arcane magic, I will instill this knowledge into you today.

By the way, I will also let you experience the pain that cannot be described in words."

Before he finished speaking!

The mastermind Isadora pressed her tentacles on the other's head and began to activate her psychic powers to transfer knowledge.

moment!

Kurt felt as if thousands of needles were piercing his brain, and he couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching howl.

“Aa ...

(End of this chapter)
