"Where did this information come from?"

Ovo put down the yellowed books in his hands, and his slightly swollen face revealed an expression of great disbelief.

As a great arcanist in the era of Netheril, he originally thought that after witnessing the stupidity and madness of Karsus with his own eyes, nothing in the world could shock him anymore.

But now, the fat lich suddenly discovered that his ally, Zuo Si, with whom he was cooperating deeply, actually concealed a kind of indescribable madness under his calm and rational appearance.

This kind of madness is different from the chaotic faction demons who act arbitrarily and do whatever they want.

Instead, it takes advantage of human greed, selfishness, desire, and even lofty ideals, obsessions and other weaknesses, and throws out a bait that no one can refuse.

Then, through a series of careful plans and calculations, both allies and enemies can act according to their will, and ultimately achieve one or several jaw-dropping subversive results.

“The source of this intelligence was released by Ximanmon, the controller of the Zhentarim’s dark intelligence network.

As far as I know, this guy who transformed himself into a vampire lord not long ago is currently serving both Soth and Fuzzol Chamberlain.

So I guess that Soth made him do this on purpose.

As for the purpose, it could be that he wants to trick Sazastan, or he could be trying to provoke a civil war among the Red Wizards of Sel, or he could be trying to divert the attention of Elminster and the Harpist Alliance.

All in all, I tend to think that South created this crisis himself.

After all, that is the eye of Talos, the god of storms, and it contains powerful divine power that can control natural disasters.

Anyone who gets hold of it will have the power to destroy a country in an instant.

Not to mention that it can also elevate mortals to the status of gods.

But what exactly he wants to achieve is still unknown.

Because with the rapid spread of news, there are too many variables that may be triggered."

Morissa blurted out everything she could think of.

As the eldest grandson and niece of the Immortal, and also the one with the highest level and strongest spellcasting ability among his descendants, she undoubtedly knows very well the value of the Eye of the Storm.

This thing might even attract some old monsters that have lived for thousands of years.

For example, the wizard king Larloch, who lives in Baldur's Gate and the Warlock's Tomb in the Troll Mountains north of the Winding River, might be interested in this.

"So you think that eye was a decoy released by Soth on purpose?"

Ovo stroked his fat chin with a thoughtful expression.

Morissa nodded slightly: "This is an obvious thing.

Soth is a very special person.

He never set the goal of becoming an immortal god, but had higher pursuits.

His unique identity as a planeswalker gives him a huge advantage that even gods cannot achieve.

In the world of Toril, perhaps only this guy is willing to throw out a divine artifact like the Eye of the Storm, and then sit by and watch countless people scramble for it like mad dogs.

If you are interested in this, we should start planning in advance.

Otherwise, as more and more people join in, there will be no chance to take action again."

“Hahahaha! No, my dear child, your understanding of Soth is still too superficial.

Believe me, from the moment the Eye of God was thrown to Sazastan as bait, he must have made countless preparations.

Be it Sazastan, Visharun, or any other interested person, they will never have the opportunity to complete the so-called deification ceremony.

Soth will take back the eye at the right time in a way that will leave everyone speechless.

So don't waste your energy.

I don’t want to waste my time and energy on such a boring fight.”

Ovo laughed and shook his head, with even a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

There is no doubt that his way of thinking is the most unique among all the existing great arcanists, and can be called "maverick" even in the era of shining stars in Netheril.

This fat lich never even built a magnificent floating city like other great arcanists to show off his power, wealth and authority. Instead, he chose to build a magic castle made mainly of basalt in the lonely wasteland.

Perhaps it was this crucial choice that made him one of the few great arcanists who did not foresee the destruction of Netheril but ultimately survived.

In addition, Ovo maintained his human form for a long time by absorbing life force through necromancy magic.

Therefore, he is different from other solitary liches. He has a huge number of children and descendants, and it is said that the number reaches an astonishing tens of thousands.

Many of them are soulless "living zombies" created through special necromancy magic, and many of them are his or other family members' descendants.

But now, Ovo has abandoned the castle originally located in the lonely wasteland and gave it to Morisa as a gift, and instead built a residence in the cave under the High Forest.

Since the High Forest is covered with dense forests, rivers, grass and swamps, it is not easy to find the magically obscured entrance.

Moreover, anyone who got close to the cave entrance would have to successfully cross the freezing cold river water without any access to air.

This is absolutely impossible for most living people.

Therefore, only undead creatures, constructs, elemental creatures, alien creatures, and life forms that have acquired extraordinary characteristics are qualified to approach the entrance.

In addition, Ovo has a very bad reputation. Like the emperors of the Shane Empire, he likes to capture unicorns, which symbolize kindness and purity, to conduct evil necromancy experiments.

His attainments in this area are even greater than those of Sean VII.

"Are you sure?" Morissa asked in an uncertain tone. "You know, even if you get the knowledge of mortal deification from Velsharoon, it is very valuable."

“I’m absolutely sure.

If the so-called deification ceremony consumes an Eye of God as the price, then it is essentially a process of transformation of divine power and divinity.

The former is the most important, while the latter is just a means and has no universality or reference value.

Besides, I don’t think an evil and chaotic deity like the God of Storms would be so kind as to let mortals take advantage of him for free.

Even if someone succeeds in becoming a god through this method, they will probably just become the target of Talos's exploitation."

After saying this, Ovo no longer paid attention to his eldest granddaughter and niece, and continued to organize the magic knowledge and materials and classify them according to the difficulty of learning.

As a senior who had already founded several magic academies and personally taught many well-known wizards, he obviously knew that magic learning should be gradual and that young apprentices should not be given overly dangerous and explosive knowledge right away.

Otherwise it will trigger a series of disasters, tragedies and unimaginable serious consequences.

Many magic academies will eventually fail, decline and be destroyed, largely due to the wizards' pride, arrogance, stubbornness, and endless thirst for knowledge and power.

Seeing that Ovo was immersed in his own world again, Morisa could only sigh slightly, put one hand on her chest and bowed, then turned around and walked away from the dark underground.

Because the walls of the underground cave are covered with the blood of a creature called petrified cow.

At first glance, this thing looks like a naturally formed texture, but its effect is to prevent any teleportation magic from taking effect.

So Morisa needs to walk out first, and then use teleportation magic to return to her place.

…

Almost at the same time, Elminster, who was active in the North, was in a cabin provided by the Harpers. With a serious expression, he was discussing the news that Sazastan had obtained the Eye of the Storm with Leila, Khelben, Storm Silverhand, Simb, Dov Eaglehand, and some other high-ranking Harpers who had also reached or were close to the legendary level.

"Did Soth really give that thing to Sazastan? Is he crazy?"

Xinbu, who was impulsive by nature, was the first to lose his temper. He slammed the table with his staff and asked angrily.

Because no one present hated the Red Wizard of Sel more than she did, and the country he ruled, Agrallon, had been invaded again and again.

If Sazastan really became a god and completed the integration of the internally strife-ridden Cyre, then Agrallon would undoubtedly be the first victim.

"No, it wasn't handed over to them. Instead, they made a deal." Storm Silverhand corrected.

Xinbu rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Is there any difference?"

“Of course there is a difference.

Judging from Zuo Si's personality, he likes to collect artifacts, high-level magic items and knowledge.

When Sazastan got the eye, he must have paid an equal or even several times higher price.

This means that he must have lost a lot of his cards and is in a very fragile and vulnerable state.

In addition, once the red-robed chief who opposes Sazastan within Serre learns of this news, he will certainly try to sabotage it in every possible way.

The most important thing is that the Eye of God and the method of deification are now in the hands of Sazastan and Visharoon respectively.

Moreover, the two of them are mortal enemies, so there is definitely no possibility of reconciliation or cooperation.

So the situation is not as bad as you think, at least we have enough time."

Storm Silverhand patiently explained to the hot-tempered sister.

Perhaps it was because she had lived with Elminster for a long time, or perhaps it was because she had been training new members of the Harpist Alliance for a long time and serving as a technical and psychological mentor. In any case, she had the calmest character and the most patience among the seven sisters in the north, and rarely showed arrogance or anger.

"I don't quite understand why Soth did this? I remember that when the conflict broke out in Luskan, he and the Red Mage were already hostile to each other."

Dove Hawkhand couldn't help but interject.

"According to the information we got from the Zhentarim, Soth seems to have exchanged the Eye of God for two artifacts, the [Dead Moon Magical Orb] and the [Throne of Sakshiel], as well as a Three Wishes Ring."

Celeria, another high-ranking leader of the Harpers and a legendary bard, gave the answer.

Given the long-standing tradition of mutual infiltration between the two intelligence organizations, she sent people to confirm the rumor as soon as it was revealed.

So compared to other organizations who had only heard a general idea, the Harpists had already grasped most of the information that Zuo Si had deliberately leaked.

"A deal? That's really like his style."

Khelbourne stroked his thick black beard with a thoughtful look on his face.

Leila frowned and asked, "So the conclusion drawn by the Harper now is that Soth and Sazastan have not formed an alliance, and their relationship is just that of a transaction, or is there a bit of mutual benefit?"

Celeria nodded without hesitation: "That's right! The top leaders of the Zhentarim did not hide anything about this transaction.

It can even be said that they are deliberately spreading the news to let more people know.

This behavior was undoubtedly putting Sazastan on the fire and making his situation extremely difficult and dangerous.

Velsharoon, his former mortal enemy;

The Red Robe Chief who opposed Sazastan; the legendary wizards and dangerous undead creatures hiding in the dark who aspired to become gods; several great arcanists left over from the Netheril era; powerful dragon kings who aspired to become gods, such as Tchazzar the Dragon of the Gods and Dorgothos the Doomsday Crawler; and our old friend Sammaster, who suffered a great loss in front of the Lord of the Morning, and those crazy followers of Talos the Storm God...

There are too many powerful evil forces willing to fight for the Eye.

From this point alone, it can be seen that Soth and Sazastan are not in the same group.

Just the opposite!

He was using the eye as bait to provoke a violent conflict, and then sit back and watch the show.

Without a doubt, this is a typical lawful evil behavior, and it is also in line with his current identity as the Great Devil. "

"Damn it! Can't this guy just be quiet for a few years? Ever since he came into this world, he has been either causing trouble or preparing to cause trouble. He has never had a moment of leisure.

I really don't understand where Soth gets all that energy and fighting spirit that is different from ordinary people and never gets tired.

Normally, at his age, shouldn't he be obsessed with beautiful love and an adventurous life? "

Another old human warrior with a goatee couldn't help but complain wildly.

Blowing out two clouds of freshly inhaled white smoke from his nose, Elminster fiddled with the pipe in his hand and explained, “Soth is a planeswalker with the ability to travel through different time and space, so don’t judge him by common sense.

The things he may have seen, the ideas he may have come into contact with, the knowledge, magic, and technology he may have learned in some time and space are all things we have never heard of or seen.

In addition, his mental and spiritual state is obviously much more mature than his appearance.

Unless Thoth himself is willing to change, nothing can affect him, not even the gods."

"So what should we do now? Join this extremely dangerous conflict?" Storm Silverhand asked.

"I think we should first go and ask Soth in person to find out what his plans are and what he wants to do."

Xinbu frantically pulled at his messy hair which had not been taken care of for who knows how long.

“If it were the same as before, there would be no problem.

But since I decided to start working against him, it would be impossible for him to reveal too much given his personality.

And even if he tells us his plan and purpose, how can we be sure that it is not a trap, a lie or a snare? Don't forget that Soth has always been cold, ruthless and cruel when dealing with his enemies. "

Elminster gave a helpless smile.

Because after several disastrous defeats in previous fights, he had deeply realized how terrible Zuo Si's methods of playing with people's hearts and human nature were.

Leila also sighed and said softly, "Don't worry about this. I've asked Kuilu and Alastro to try to get Tos's attitude.

In half a month, the Trade Federation will hold a general meeting in Askatla.

They have a pretty good cooperative relationship, so I should be able to get something out of them.

But before that, we must ensure that neither Sazastan nor Velsharun can get the part held by the other. "

"I will go to Sale myself."

Xinbu was obviously a man of action. Without saying a word, he stood up, cast a teleportation magic and disappeared on the spot.

After another hour-long discussion, the rest of the people worked out two emergency backup plans and began to dispatch personnel to the easternmost part of the continent of Faerun.

There is no doubt that becoming a god is an irresistible temptation for most ambitious mortals.

Especially the arcane spellcasters who have rich knowledge reserves and are aware of the huge gap between gods and mortals are the best among them.

Just as many powerful beings such as archmages, legendary wizards, liches, dracolichs, vampires, etc. began to gear up after receiving the news, Erinikas, who was far away in the Tower of Durlag, was also ready to join in.

The one who brought him the news was none other than the vampire queen Badi.

As an old friend, how could Zuo Si forget Erinikas who also had a strong obsession with becoming a god?

He also wanted to see which legendary spellcaster would be more skilled in this melee and win the final victory in the chicken-eating contest.

However, the prize for the champion is not the Eye of the Storm, but a magic duel with Zuo Si himself.

With a complete set of Netheril scrolls, his total arcane spellcasting level had reached LV33.

These include Mage LV6, Mystic LV10, Archmage LV5, Rainbow Apprentice LV7, and Lord of Arcane LV5.

Correctly lacking a suitable opponent for actual combat testing.

Of course, as a person who values ​​"martial ethics", Zuo Si will not use any planeswalkers or powers from other worlds in this spell duel, nor will he use those divine weapons casually.

He wanted to figure out how his arcane spellcasting ability, which was derived from his mage profession, would rank roughly in the continent of Faerun, which was filled with powerful people.

But Erinikas was obviously unaware of this and was still immersed in ecstasy, constantly using the prophetic crystal ball and various spells to try to obtain more information.

After a few hours, he slowly calmed down and raised his head to ask, "I'm going to Sel, could you help me look after this place?"

"no problem."

Badi agreed without hesitation.

“Remember, you can ignore everyone else, but you must keep a close eye on Sarevok.

The concentration of divinity and divine power in the blood he had sent earlier had become quite high.

If I fail to successfully seize the Eye of God this time, this guy will be my last hope."

Having said this, Erinikas paused, turned around and stared at the humanoid creatures that were soaked in jars and their bodies and brains were separated.

Through in-depth research on these sons of God, combined with previous experiments on the Saints of Amaunator, Erinikas has gained a very comprehensive understanding of divine power and divinity.

Even Zuo Si used Badi as a spy to steal his research results.

Therefore, Erinikas is one of the very few legendary wizards who can try to become a god directly without the knowledge in Velsharoon's hands.

But before going to Sale, he still needs a little insurance.

想到这，这位精灵高等法师径直走到一个看上去大概三十岁上下的男人面前，对着他念出了一个简短而有力的咒语。

下一秒……

“啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

撕心裂肺的惨叫声从这个男人嘴里发出，并且全身上下的血管暴起，呈现出一种无比狰狞恐怖的样子。

但比他更惨的周围其他几个罐子里装着的活人！ 后者在咒语生效的一刹那，整个人的身体猛然间砰的一声炸裂开，鲜血、骨头、内脏和碎肉直接涂满了半透明的玻璃罩子，最终缓缓下落形成一滩粘稠状的肉酱。

而他们的灵魂则被位于上方的魔法装置吸收，一股脑顺着管道涌入惨叫男人的身体里。

大概三五分钟左右，男人身上便凭空长出了大量的骨刺，一些散发着恶臭的黑色血液也从他体内缓缓流出，直到被艾瑞尼卡斯捕获吸收进体内。

毫无疑问，这家伙在榨取巴尔之子体内的神力与神性，然后将其融入到自己的灵魂中。

如此丧心病狂的邪恶魔法，就连作为吸血鬼女王的巴荻看到不由得感到头皮发麻。

随着时间的推移，她现在越来越发现自己已经没办法理解艾瑞尼卡斯脑海中无比黑暗疯狂的想法。

“啊——这感觉棒极了！”

艾瑞尼卡斯深吸了一口气，脸上浮现出无比享受的表情。

神力与神性！ 尽管只有一点点，可是也已经让他开始体会到神与人之间巨大的差距。

等做完这一切，艾瑞尼卡斯才把高塔的控制权丢给巴荻，随后施展传送魔法前往红袍法师统治的国家塞尔。

不过他恐怕做梦都不会想到，自己前脚才刚走，左思后脚就凭空出现，饶有兴致扫了一眼周围，然后笑着问：“你那位兄弟已经出发了？”

“是的，主人。

就如同您预料中的一样。

艾瑞尼卡斯在得知那颗眼睛能让凡人封神之后，毫不犹豫选择了加入其中。

另外，他在临行前还杀死了所有捕获的巴尔之子，并吸收从对方灵魂压榨出来的神性与神力。

不出意外的话，肯定获得了一些额外的力量。”

巴荻赶忙单膝跪地恭恭敬敬的汇报道。

“呵呵，终究还是走上了这条路吗？”

左思抿起嘴角浮现出意味深长的表情，同时用眼角余光扫过那些罐子里面目全非的尸骸，最后才转过身对跟在自己屁股后头的桑乔说道：“看到了吗？ 这无与伦比的血腥、残酷和死亡，就是巴尔之子需要面对的命运。

你们死亡之后甚至连前往神祇国度和外层位面转生的机会都没有。

如果不想落得这样的下场，你就需要抓紧时间获得强大的力量。

在这个世界上，唯有强者才有资格主宰和支配自己的命运。”

“明白！请您放心，我绝对不允许自己落得这样一个下场。”

男孩死死攥着拳头咬牙切齿的做出回应。

由于有不止一次被献祭的经历，所以他早就意识到巴尔之子这个身份意味着什么，甚至对亲生父亲产生了强烈的憎恨。

因为如果不是背负着谋杀之神的血脉，他完全可以像普通人一样过上平凡而又安逸的生活。

左思满意的点了点头：“我欣赏你的叛逆精神。

因为敢于向命运反抗的人，无论最终结果如何都值得尊敬。

现在让我来考考你最近的学习进度。

看到那些罐子里像肉酱一样的尸骸了吗？

告诉我艾瑞尼卡斯究竟做了什么，会让他们变成这幅样子。”

桑乔强忍着恶心和心理上的抗拒径直走到近前，抬起手快速施展了一个零环的【侦测魔法】，很快用不是很确定的语气说道：“那个叫做艾瑞尼卡斯的法师，使用了某种未知的死灵系法术。

这些尸体之所以会变成这个样子，是因为抽取灵魂过程中神性与神力产生抗拒最终造成的结果。

确切地说，尸体是被神力抽离刹那的反作用力强行撕碎。

他用那些比较弱的巴尔之子灵魂来最大限度激发一个强大巴尔之子的潜力。

然后再将其作为祭品牺牲掉，获得自己想要的神力与神性。”

“不错！看来你有认真读那些关于神力与神性的书籍。”

左思欣慰的夸奖了男孩一句，紧跟着突然话锋一转继续问：“那你知道艾瑞尼卡斯这样强行夺取巴尔之子的神力与神性，意味着什么样的后果吗？”

“后果？”

桑乔不明所以的眨了眨眼。

因为他完全察觉不到艾瑞尼卡斯会因此而承担什么后果。

“呵呵，看来你对于那本书里阐述的知识和观点还停在表面，并没有深刻的理解。

记住，巴尔之子的本质就是谋杀之神巴尔神性、神力和神职的碎片。

通过这种分散保存的方式，他想要实现的目的只有一个，那就是从星界重新归来。

所以巴尔之子一旦觉醒，立刻便会在其本质的影响下去制造杀戮，从而让巴尔的名字再一次成为无数人恐惧的对象。

尤其是你们兄弟姐妹之间，必然只有一个能够活到最后。

前者的目的是为了获得信徒和影响力，后者则是重新汇聚神力与神性，最终点燃神性的火花让巴尔有一个可以承载自己意识的身躯，最终绕开一切阻碍成功复活。

这也就意味着，当有人试图夺取巴尔之子的神力与神性时，他自身也就成为巴尔复活的祭品之一。

在那种强烈的本能和冲动下，除非能够获得同等的力量与之对抗，否则任何凡人都无法抵挡。

所以现如今的艾瑞尼卡斯，其灵魂已经与鲜血王座紧密的相连。

如果有一天他死了，其灵魂也会遭到吞噬，而不是进入克隆体重生，亦或是前往外层位面转生。”

左思没有任何隐瞒，直截了当说出了其中巨大的隐患。

从吸收巴尔之子神力与神性的那一刻起，艾瑞尼卡斯就从原本拥有无数命和重新来过机会的传奇法师，退化成为只有一条命的特殊巴尔之子。

因为他跟同样吸收了巴尔神力的左思不同。

后者是旅法师，而且只吸收了神力没有神性，所以当完成转化之后基本就已经没有什么任何影响了。

但艾瑞尼卡斯却要因此而承担巨大的风险。

他绝对不能失败、更不能死亡，否则体内那些神性和神力就会瞬间反噬，将其变为毫无理智的杀戮者。

对于一名法师而言，没什么比失去自我意识、理智更可悲的事情了。

咕咚！

桑乔听完这些立刻被吓得吞了吞口水，那只用魔法和神术构造的眼球更是一刻不停的疯狂转动，想要在周围找到更多有用的信息。

同样的，他也意识到导师带自己来这个地方的意图就是为了让自己明白，巴尔之子如果放弃抗争会有怎样的结局。

一时之间，男孩脑海中那根开始有点放松、懈怠的神经再一次绷紧。

“站在这好好盯着这些惨死的尸体！如果还不彻底将自己的潜力全部挖掘出来，你未来也会跟他们一样落得同样下场。”

说完这句话，左思便不再理会男孩，开始参观起经过艾瑞尼卡斯改造的杜拉格之塔。

不得不说，精灵在艺术和建筑方面的确拥有很多独到的地方。

原本由矮人设计的粗犷风格，在艾瑞尼卡斯重塑下赫然呈现出一种精致、细腻、高雅的氛围。

而且这家伙的好色程度一点都没有变，不仅捕捉了好几个树精跟水妖精作为发泄欲望的工具，同时还召唤了三个魅魔服侍自己。

除此之外，地牢里还关押着一些年轻、漂亮、身材凹凸有致的精灵女性。

确切地说就是索丹尼斯拉的精灵女王克隆体。

其中有的还被固定在大字型的木架上，旁边放着各种特殊工具，完全就是一副里番的景象。

她们通常只穿着少量像情趣衣物一样的半透明薄纱，有的干脆就是全裸。

“我很好奇，你的这位兄弟究竟是如何做到始终保持如此强烈、旺盛的欲望？如果我没记错的话，地表精灵在达到一定年纪之后，在这方面不是都相对比较冷淡吗？”

左思溜达了一圈之后，终于忍不住提出了一直困扰自己的问题。

要知道精灵与人类最大的不同之处就在于他们的性格相对沉稳，或许会表现出高兴、愉悦等情绪，但很少过于兴奋。

比起物质和肉体方面的享受，他们更喜欢追求精神上的满足。

即便是生育率最高的黑暗精灵，在长达数百年的寿命中通常也很少会生育过两位数以上的子嗣，有些干脆就是独苗。

This is completely incomparable to the fact that humans can give birth to more than a dozen offspring in just twenty to thirty years.

Matron Baenre of Menzoberranzan gave birth to more than twenty children in her lifetime, which was considered a miracle and was believed to be blessed by the spider goddess Lolth.

Therefore, it is common knowledge in the continent of Faerun that elves tend to be sexually apathetic as a whole.

Many elves would rather spend a hundred or eighty years on a love relationship than spend a few minutes contributing to the continuation of the race.

It is precisely because of this that Zuo Si is puzzled by Erinikas, an old pervert who is obviously an outcast.

Badi quickly explained: "Actually, Erinikas wasn't like this before.

When he was in a relationship with Alistar, he was always very reserved, elegant and polite.

But then, when we were exiled, Erinikas became a different person almost overnight.

Cold!

cruel!

greedy!

Lustful!

As far as I know, unless he is doing long-term focused research, he has to have sex with his concubines and clones at least thirty times a day to calm his crazy brain a little bit."

"So... Erinikas is venting his pent-up emotions in this way in order to keep himself calm and rational?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

As for something like thirty times a day, it is nothing for a legendary wizard who possesses powerful magical powers.

Especially after obtaining the "Pink Book" filled with various erotic magic from the Succubus Queen, let alone a mere thirty times, even three hundred times, three thousand times, or thirty thousand times would be no problem.

In contrast, Zuo Si was more concerned about Erinikas's psychological and mental state.

"That's about right. In Erinikas's eyes, it was the Elven Queen Alising who betrayed him. That's why he is so eager to become a god and to avenge those enemies who once left humiliating marks on us."

As she spoke, the Vampire Queen Badi reached out and touched her cheeks and ears.

In her exile, she, like Erinikas, was stripped of all elven qualities, both inner and outer.

"What about you? Don't you have any desire in this regard?"

Zuo Si continued to ask questions with great interest.

Badi hesitated for a moment, but soon shook his head gently: "Maybe at the beginning, I still had anger, resentment and hatred in my heart.

But it wasn't long before these emotions were replaced by bloodlust and the pleasure that comes from lust and indulgence.

Now I no longer have much hatred towards Sodanisla's former compatriots. I just simply want to suck their blood and enjoy the process of transforming them into vampires.

I think I have been devoured by the evil nature of the undead and am no longer the same person I used to be.

After all, I have never been a strong-willed person, but rather I love indulgence and pleasure."

“Very accurate description.

I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of the changes happening in yourself.

That's good, because knowing yourself is important because it helps you understand what you really want and what you desire.

Many people become arrogant and conceited because they lack self-awareness, and eventually slide into the abyss of failure. "

While speaking, Zuo Si reached out his hand and gently stroked the vampire queen's pale and cold cheek, staring at her eyes and the sharp fangs hidden under her blood-red lips.

Badi stretched his neck obediently, looking nervous and uneasy.

But before she could say anything, a dark shadow suddenly rushed out from the cell behind her, swung the mace in his hand and smashed down hard.

Bang! Without any surprise, the hammer was directly blocked by Badi's arm, without even a drop of blood, only a red mark was left on the skin.

The next second...

She simply snatched the opponent's weapon with her backhand.

It can be seen that in front of the Vampire Queen, the strength of this attacker is really not worth mentioning, basically the same as that of an ordinary adult male.

"A dark elf?"

After seeing the other person's true face, Zuo Si showed an expression of surprise.

He could hardly believe that Erinikas, who was so picky about women, actually liked this.

The female drow in front of him was about 1.45 meters tall, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. Although it was obvious that she had received combat training and had certain muscles in her arms and legs, she was not strong at all, but rather a little thin.

"Master, she must have heard our conversation just now, why don't you let me suck her blood dry."

Badi suddenly opened his mouth, revealing two sharp canine teeth, and used one hand to hold down the struggling dark elf woman.

The latter was obviously extremely frightened, his eyes were full of fear and despair, and he was holding tightly in his hand something that looked like an amulet.

Out of curiosity, Zuo Si gave the Vampire Queen a calm gesture, then snatched the amulet from her hand, held it high, and asked in a slightly playful tone: "A dark elf who believes in the goddess of the night, Shar? This is really not common. If you don't mind, can you tell me your name?"

"Viconia! My name is Viconia! If you are willing to let me go, I am willing to be your slave and do anything for you and provide all services for you."

The dark elf woman raised her head to reveal her delicate face hidden under her long white hair.

Although she was not very proficient in the common language of the surface, she still had a certain ability to communicate.

"Viconia?"

Zuo Si's DNA moved instantly, and he began to carefully look at this woman who was still very beautiful even by the standards of the dark elves.

He was wearing a tattered cloak, a chain mail that was almost damaged by the sunlight, and dirty boots with exposed toes. The skin on his cheeks and arms had also undergone some changes due to long-term exposure to the sun.

There was no doubt that this was a drow who had just escaped from the Underdark to the surface.

Most of its equipment was in the same condition as when Drizzt came to the surface, and was being rapidly destroyed as it was exposed to sunlight more and more times.

If nothing unexpected happens, in three to five days, this woman will probably have to choose between stealing clothes or running naked.

Moreover, she did not seem to be a tool for Erinikas to vent his desires, nor did she show any signs of being violated. She was simply captured and imprisoned in the dungeon.

(End of this chapter)
